"This... I don't know." The guard hesitated for a moment before hesitating.

"I don't know? Eldest brother went to help that clan clan suppress bandits, and you went with elder brother, but now you tell me that you don't know who that clan clan and the bandits are?" Xiao Qianqian was furious and asked repeatedly .

The personal guard was speechless, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Wang Lantian looked at him, and suddenly felt something was wrong—this personal guard first lost his master's life, and then came all the way to report the letter, so why was his face so red?Doesn't look tired at all?

With suspicion, Wang Lantian was full of doubts when he looked at the guard who came to deliver the letter.He took a step forward without any trace, and stood in front of Xiao Qianqian, seemingly casually picking up the unopened letter that Xiao Qianqian held tightly in her hand.

Seeing his actions, the personal guard suddenly felt guilty.

Against Xiao Qianqian's surprised gaze, Wang Lantian opened the letter.The handwriting in the letter was flying and flying, and it was completely different from the handwriting that Mr. Xiao had written to him!

Wang Lantian lowered his eyelashes and just handed the letter to Xiao Qianqian.

Xiao Qianqian took the letter casually, and read it twice suspiciously.After noticing the handwriting, a ridiculous guess suddenly popped up in her mind.

She put away the letter in her hand calmly, her face remained unchanged, and continued to ask the guard in a stern voice: "You said that elder brother and Captain Zhang fell off the cliff and their lives are unknown, so when did they fall off the cliff? And where did they fall off the cliff?" ? How many people were there with me? Who are they?"

"This... this..." The guards faltered, the place where they suppressed the bandits was basically a big plain, where are there any mountains!Not to mention the cliff!There are only a few small mounds here and there.

While he was thinking hard, Wang Lantian took the opportunity to fly out.He was holding the fine steel spear that he had brought over at some point in his hand, and with a flick of his right hand, the spear gleaming with cold light was pressed against the guard's throat.

Feeling the extremely cold and sharp spear on his skin, the guard's face turned pale, and cold sweat rolled down his face.

With a hoarse voice, he tried his best to calm down and said, "What do you mean, young master?"

Under such circumstances, this person could still try his best not to change his face, Xiao Qianqian couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes, and sighed: "Lan Tian, ​​I just found out that there is such a talent in my family today!"

Wang Lantian narrowed his eagle eyes, stared at this man and said with a smile: "It's just a villain's way of surviving, not a talent!"

The guard gritted his teeth when he heard the words, but he dared not make a sound because of the sharp spear in his throat.

Xiao Qianqian put away her smile, stared at him with a cold face, and asked: "If I remember correctly, you were born as a slave in my family for generations——For Xiao Junqi, the eldest son, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are very cautious. Shen——why did you betray my brother? What is your purpose in spreading false news this time? Have you returned to my house?"

Facing Xiao Qianqian's question, the guard gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Xiao Qianqian frowned: "Aren't you afraid that something will happen to your relatives if you dare to betray?"

The guard was shocked all over, and then raised his head and said with a sarcasm: "Dear one? If the young master is talking about those who stay in the mansion, you can do whatever you want, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Xiao Qianqian: "........."

Xiao Qianqian: "My family never treated slaves harshly, why did you betray?"

The personal guard was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Young master is right, but the bandit's knife rests on my neck, what can I do?"

"Is there a bandit knife on your neck now?" Wang Lantian asked abruptly.

The guard was speechless.

Sensing that Xiao Qianqian's character was too gentle, Wang Lantian looked at this person who claimed to be Xiao Junqi's personal guard, and couldn't help being a little worried about Xiao Junqi's safety.

He looked at Xiao Qianqian who couldn't hide her anxiety with some scruples, and suggested: "There is a veteran in the army in my other courtyard at the foot of the mountain, who is good at torture (extorting confessions), why don't we go down the mountain and send him there, and ask Let’s talk about what happened after you came out, what do you think?”

Xiao Qianqian nodded quickly: "Yes, send it over quickly!"

After asking (bi) asking (gong), Wang Lantian brought the news to Xiao Qianqian who was already getting angry.

"Sissy, my people have already asked. Brother Xiao didn't fall off the cliff, but escaped with Captain Zhang. When dealing with a pair of thugs with a large number of people, that person suddenly turned back after taking gold and silver. Brother Xiao, Captain Zhang and a few personal guards were plotted against, and they fled in a hurry without a trace. The group of gangsters had been entangled with Brother Xiao for a long time, and the bandit leader wanted to lure him into the bait, so he sent this person. To trick you over."

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Lantian closed the door and explained the matter clearly.

"So now the elder brother is missing? Are the elder brothers injured? How many people are around? Do father and mother know about this matter?" Xiao Qianqian asked several questions anxiously.

Wang Lantian said with a wry smile: "The person is indeed gone. It seems that he was injured, and he didn't bring a few people with him. Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao probably don't know about these things. Qianqian, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Qianqian pursed her lips: "I want to find Big Brother."

Wang Lantian looked at her disapprovingly: "Qiqian, you have no power to restrain the chicken, how can you find it? What if you encounter any danger?"

"Then I can't do nothing, but just sit here?" Xiao Qianqian said bitterly.

Wang Lantian thought for a while: "If you really want to go, I'll go with you."

Xiao Qianqian immediately objected: "No! The Zhongzheng examiner sent by the imperial court is still here. You are both civil and military, so of course you should stay! You are different from me! I don't want merit for official use. Even Mr. Wang It's your uncle, you should at least stay here and make a show."

"Then it's impossible for me to teach you to go out alone!" Wang Lantian insisted.

Knowing that he was worried about herself, Xiao Qianqian felt at ease.She thought of Wang Zhuoran's existence, and she had an idea: "Lan Tian, ​​why don't you take those few guards of yours to me, maybe their skills can make you feel at ease?"

Wang Lantian was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "You have to tell the head of the mountain first. He won't let you go, how can you leave?"

Xiao Qianqian jumped up and rushed out: "I'm going to ask the head of the mountain to resign!"
