Chapter 52: Robbery (2)

Xiao Zijun who was on the horse was wearing a silver eagle mask and a dark red narrow robe, with the black wind blowing, looking at the withered and yellow grass on the plain, his expression was truly stern.

There are people coming from behind to report the whereabouts of the princess, all of which are unfounded clues, and the whereabouts of the princess has not been confirmed.

The only one is that the princess is likely to be looted out of the capital.Therefore, hundreds of miles outside the capital are the search range.

Xiao Zijun's face was gloomy and silent, but his heart was already burning with anxiety.

It has been two days since he came back.If the abducted young man was for money, he would have written a letter to the palace long ago.Even if it is a threat, there should be news.

What worries him most is that the purpose of these people is very simple.

Ever since the Central Palace issued a decree to marry him and Miss Ning, he secretly sent secret guards to protect Ning Qingqing, and this time he left Beijing and arranged for Luo You, who is extremely skilled, to protect her.

However, with everything kept secret, something happened to her.He had only been married for two months before he was sent away from the capital by his father. If he hadn't been falsely assassinated, he might not have come back until a few years ago.

At this time, the words reported by the guards echoed in his mind.

"The concubine is stubborn, and we couldn't stop her. On the way, the subordinate was stopped by two masters. Luo guarded the sick man and never went. Then, then, the concubine disappeared. The subordinate is incompetent, please The prince punishes!"

At that time, he was so angry that he cut off the corner of the case with his sword. He didn't have time to think about it, so he could only send people to search for it first, but he himself had to pretend to recover from his injuries.

Now, after thinking about it, I feel that the whole thing was not sudden.

Someone has arranged it secretly, just waiting for this opportunity.

"Did the princess meet outsiders that day?"

"I heard from Miss Qingchuan that the princess went to Xunfangyuan to find someone but failed, and met the second master. After saying a few words, the princess left and went to the Sun Mansion. On the way, she met the young lady of the Sun family..."

The servant recounted the events of that day in detail.

There was a chill in King Jin's cold eyes.

Could it be that Xiao Zizhan was acting as a hindrance?

Improperly.Although the second elder brother doesn't agree with him in face and heart, he still doesn't feel sorry for Qing Qing.What's more, he may not know Qingqing's secret.

But why is all this such a coincidence?
The corners of Jin Wang's lips moved slightly, and he ordered: "Check the movement of Shang Shang studio."

This studio of Shang is spread all over Qi, Chu, Wu and the Three Kingdoms, a gangster killer organization whose strength should not be underestimated.Only Shangyinglou dared to offend King Jin.Of course, Shangyinglou and King Jin have long been incompatible. The Northern Qi government once issued a seal order for Shangyinglou.It's just that this organization has gone underground and is still rampant.The ghost players in Shangyinglou are all skilled in kung fu, let alone their landlord.

It's just that this landlord has never seen his tail. Sometimes he hears that his nest is in Northern Qi, and sometimes he says it's in Western Chu.

If it's like what the dark guard said, these men in black are very skilled, and they are most likely from Shangyinglou.Who would be the one who bought the murder?

King Jin's pupils were pitch-black, with a faint glow of cold stars, and a hint of doubt rose from his hostility.

Could it be them?
If they had insight into something, how could they stay alive?

His hand slowly gripped the horse's rein.

Reminiscent of the fact that there was no news of the assassin in the past few days, Xiao Zijun had a bad expectation.

Looking at Gao Ming on the side, the prince suddenly turned pale, thinking that the wound on his body had opened.

"My lord?" he asked anxiously.

Xiao Zijun didn't say a word, but suddenly his legs were clamped, and he galloped out.

At this time, the sun is moving towards the west, and the clouds in the western sky are gradually rising.

Xiao Zijun looked at the bright red sunset with a sad expression, it was the first time he blamed himself so much.At that moment just now, because he expected her to be in danger, his heart suddenly ached.

It's obviously just marrying a woman he doesn't like, a marriage with ulterior motives.He asked himself that he was not a sentimental person, if she hadn't been a valuable dumb girl Ning Qingwei, would he still be so anxious?

At dusk, the army sent by King Jin did not return to the camp.

According to the instructions of the prince, he went from house to house, crossed mountains and ridges, dug three feet, and searched inch by inch.

*
It was time to light the lamps, and the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion was still wide open.A team of chariots and horses from Haohao Tangtang came on the road and stopped at the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Welcome Your Highness the Prince—"

Someone opened the curtain, and Xiao Zihong, who was wearing a light yellow royal robe inside, got out of the car, his footsteps were windy, and he strode into the gate of the palace, ignoring the people kneeling on the ground.

In the main courtyard, where the lights were brightly lit, Xiao Zijun came out wearing a nightgown and a cloak.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is far away."

The prince rushed forward, "Third brother, the night is cold, your body injury is not healed, hurry up and enter the house."

The crown prince walked side by side with King Jin, entered the main hall, and as soon as he sat down, he asked, "Where is Qingqing's whereabouts?" His tone was a little hasty.

King Jin shook his head slowly, his eyes were bloodshot and a little haggard.

The prince stood up anxiously, "What should I do?!"

King Jin looked at his performance with cold eyes, and some thought flashed through his calm starry eyes.He raised his fist to his lips and coughed slightly suppressed.

Xiao Zihong just turned his head, worried: "Is the third brother's injury better?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. It's just a little cold."

Seeing this, the crown prince comforted Xiao Zijun instead: "Third Brother, don't worry too much. I have already dispatched additional troops, issued paperwork, and searched and made unannounced visits in this Jing County area. I think there will be some clues in the next two days."

Even though Xiao Zihong said so, his expression couldn't be relaxed. After all, the two of them knew each other well at this time, and Ning Qingqing was afraid that something bad would happen.

The two brothers said a few words, and the prince left in a hurry.

In the darkroom of Liufang Pavilion.

A man in black is reporting the situation to King Jin.

"Go down, there is no need to go to the East Palace anymore." King Jin's voice.

Xiao Zijun's face was sullen, and several thoughts crossed his mind.The prince's performance tonight is not pretending, as far as he knows, although the queen doesn't like Qingqing, Zihong is indeed on good terms with Qingqing, and this time Qingqing's accident happened, the prince's behavior is in line with guess.

He believed that he was just thinking too much, and the prince didn't know anything about it.

"My lord, do you mean that there is another mastermind behind the princess' accident?"

King Jin was also thinking, if he was just thinking too much, who would be the one who attacked lightly?

There was deep doubt in his eyes, and he slowly shook his head.

"My lord, Luo You took a group of hidden guards to the Shang Studio. With his familiarity with the Shang Studio, he will definitely find some clues."

Xiao Zijun just nodded, and stood on the shadow wall looking at the dark room with his hands behind his back, his eyes turned cold, "I must find her!"

*
A mouthful of bloody saliva was spit on the withered grass slope.

Ning Qing was thrown heavily to the ground.

"Want to escape? There is no door!"

She wiped the corners of her lips with her hand, pulled herself up, stubbornly raised her head, and looked at the man in black in front of her.

For two consecutive days, the man kidnapped her and kept running.She didn't know why they caught her and why they went all the way west.

The leader suddenly lifted her up and said viciously: "I intend to save your life, don't be ignorant!"
