The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

Such things also caused panic in the Xiao family.

"Ah!" A sharp sound broke through the quiet morning.

Xiao Chong, who was getting up to go to the military camp, was frightened by the sound of surprise. Even though he had long developed a habit of not being surprised by honor or disgrace, he suddenly felt a strong ominous premonition.

Mrs. Xiao asked uneasily: "What happened outside?"

Xiao Chong said nothing and walked away.

"General." A guard hurried over, holding a tray covered with white cloth in his hand, "Early in the morning, a strange man in black brought... this..."

Xiao Chong opened the white cloth and took a look, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Whose hand is this?"

"Ah!" A scream of fear sounded, and Mrs. Xiao turned pale with horror and almost fainted, "What is this? Get away! Get away!"

The guard quickly covered the cloth and said respectfully: "I have never seen the man in black. I just said to give the things to the general, and he left. I ordered people to chase him. I didn't expect that man." His skills are so powerful that he disappears in the blink of an eye."

Xiao Chong's eyes were fixed on the tray covered with white cloth. After a moment, he reached out and opened it again.

What appeared in front of him was a half-cut arm, lean and strong. At first glance, it belonged to an adult man, and it was the hand of a martial arts practitioner, without any hint of weakness.

Xiao Chong's face became increasingly ugly. Suddenly he thought of something and rushed out.

Mrs. Xiao had already turned around and vomited against the flowers, but Xiao Chong had no time to pay attention at this time.

All the way to the General's Mansion, Xiao Chong got on the mount that he had prepared long ago and went straight to the Princess's Mansion!

Unlike the last time I came here, there were no Qilin guards guarding the gate of the eldest princess's mansion today. Although the gate was closed, there was not even a single person outside.

Xiao Chong was about to break through the door, but the side door suddenly opened, and a man dressed as a servant walked out. When he saw Xiao Chong, he was slightly startled: "General Xiao?"

Xiao Chong's eyes fell on his face, and he said with strong authority: "The eldest princess is not here?"

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has left the imperial city." The man said, "Except for the servants, guards, and maids who originally belonged to the princess's mansion, all the others were taken away. No one is left."

Xiao Chong's expression was tense: "Where is Xiao Jinghan?"

The man said: "Master Xiao is not here either."

"Taken away?"

"It should be so." The man was unsure, "General Xiao didn't get the news?"

Xiao Chong's face was sullen, he really didn't get the news.

The eldest princess and Qilin Guard left the imperial city. He didn't receive any news about such a big news? Who hid it from him?

"This general wants to go in and take a look."

"Go in and take a look?" The man frowned and quickly blocked the side door with his body, "This won't work! Although the eldest princess is not here, it is still a crime of disrespect to break into the eldest princess's house without authorization. General Xiao is a military general, he will not know the law and break the law, right?"

Xiao Chong stood silently with a stern gaze. If he forced his way into the princess's house at this moment, no one could stop him.

But the man was right.

It is still a crime of disrespect to break into the eldest princess's mansion without permission.

Even if the eldest princess is not here right now, he can't easily give someone a hand.

Xiao Chong didn't say anything more, got on his horse and rode straight towards the palace.

After entering the palace to report to Emperor Ming, Xiao Chong found out that the emperor had also received a half-arm.

"Some people say that it was Jing Han's hand, but I don't really believe it." Yan Chen frowned deeply, "I guess the other party just wanted to make me confused, make General Xiao panic, lose his ability to judge, and act irrationally. matter."

"I think so too." Xiao Chong took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "But I will feel uneasy if I don't go in and look for it with my own eyes."

"I can understand." The emperor said quickly, "You go with a few imperial guards and no one dares to stop you."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."

So Xiao Chong 껚 quickly resigned and hurried to the palace with a few imperial guards arranged by the emperor, and soon arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.

This time, no one stopped him.

Xiao Chong quickly arrived at the eldest princess's dungeon. He only smelled a strong smell of blood. There were blood stains on the ground, but he didn't see a single figure.

Xiao Chong stared at the blood stains with a dull expression, his whole body was cold. After a while, he turned around and walked into the dungeon, leading people to search all the places in the eldest princess's house.

Except for the main hall, they dug almost three feet into the ground but failed to find Xiao Jinghan.

Xiao Chong wanted to break into the main hall, but found that the door could not be opened at all: "What's going on?"

"No one can enter the eldest princess's bedroom." The man stood aside and said respectfully, "Young Master Xiao has never had the opportunity to step into this place, so General Xiao does not need to come here to look for it."

Xiao Chong looked at them coldly: "Did the eldest princess take Jing Han away?"

The Hu family's youngest son and Ji Shangshu's legitimate son were both taken away together, so there was no reason to keep Xiao Jinghan.

As for the half of the arm, Xiao Chong was more willing to think that Yan Qing wanted the Xiao family to panic and used it to threaten them.

But the blood in the dungeon...

Xiao Chong's expression was frighteningly cold. He was originally a military commander, with strong momentum and intimidating power. Now that his expression was cold, he naturally revealed a frightening aura.

However, no matter how displeased he was, there was nothing he could do at the moment, because the servants in the eldest princess's mansion in front of him had no idea what was going on.

Xiao Zhongxiao couldn't be sure that the pool of blood in the dungeon belonged to Xiao Jinghan, and naturally he didn't want to believe that the half arm belonged to Xiao Jinghan.

But all the unknown things at the moment meant ominous things to him. He couldn't rest for a moment without seeing his son safe and sound.

Leaving the Princess's Mansion with anger, Xiao Zhongxiao immediately sent someone to investigate: "If you want to know the whereabouts of the Princess, check it immediately!"

"Yes."

The Xiao family was in a mess. Mrs. Xiao was frightened and kept crying, afraid that the half arm belonged to Jinghan and that he had met with an accident.

However, one wave has not yet settled, and another wave has risen. Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

A letter that came in a hurry cast a shadow over Xiao Zhongxiao's head.

The messenger had a white cloth tied around his arm, and his expression was sad: "General, I am a descendant of the Jizhou branch, and the old lady...she passed away!"

Xiao Zhongxiao's eyes went dark, and he couldn't help shaking: "What did you say?"

"The old lady has not been in good health, and she has been missing her son for the past two years. The weather was cold before the New Year, and she accidentally caught a cold. She dragged on with the medicine until the first month of the year, and finally didn't make it..."

Xiao Zhongxiao felt cold under his feet, and the whole person was frozen and unable to react.

After his biological mother passed away, he had to go home to mourn for three years as a son, which meant that he could not take charge of the military power during these three years, and he had to arrange a reliable person to take charge of the 200,000 Tiger Guards for him.

Now that his only son's life and death were uncertain, he had to rush back to Jizhou immediately to handle his mother's funeral.

Three years of mourning was an extremely long time, which meant too many variables.

At this moment, Xiao Zhongxiao felt that God was playing a cruel joke on him.
