The princess has space, and her life turns around when she turns into a silly woman
Chapter 294 Where are the people? Have they left?
The waiter did not forget to explain.
"Boss, I saw that woman really looks like she's about to give birth!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his anger grew even stronger and he spoke with gritted teeth.
"That's even better. If she can't leave, she doesn't have to. The soldiers won't blame her if they come. Go ask her if she's leaving or not. If she doesn't, we'll all withdraw. We don't even know how the soldiers got here today."
After saying that, he turned around and got busy.
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, the waiter did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He quickly retreated and walked towards the private room where Shangguan Qing was.
Shangguan Qingzheng took Murong Bai and hid in the space.
She originally planned to follow the shopkeeper to check the secret passage, but the situation changed at this moment, so she decided to hide and observe first.
At this moment, someone else came to report to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, all the items have been safely transported away."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, get ready and evacuate as soon as possible."
At the same time, the waiter also came to the door of Shangguan Qing's private room.
She opened the door, but found the room empty, with no sign of Shangguan Qing and Murong Bai.
The waiter couldn't help but stand there in a daze, muttering to himself: "Where is the person? Is he gone?"
At the same time, someone at the auction started shouting "retreat". The waiter came to his senses and realized that time was running out. Without thinking too much, he hurried towards the secret passage.
At this moment, Shangguan Qing was hiding in the space, watching all this happen quietly.
Shangguan Qing gave the order quietly.
"Xiao Si, be sure to follow closely."
Xiao Si responded through space.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. With me, nothing will be a problem!"
Then I watched this group of people wandering around in the secret passage, then entering a yard and starting to disperse.
Xiao Si was suddenly at a loss.
"Master, who am I following now?"
Shangguan Qing smiled helplessly, it seemed that the elf was not smart at all.
"Follow the shopkeeper and go to their base camp."
At this time, the soldiers who had surrounded Linglong Tower finally broke in, and then they saw the empty Linglong Tower with only a few unimportant people left.
Baili Yuan followed the team nervously, wishing he could be in the front, and was extremely worried.
He couldn't help but yelled: "Sister, sister!"
His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
At this moment, Shangguan Qing's figure appeared in front of everyone like a ghost.
Her cold and majestic face fixed her gaze on the leading general and she asked in a cold tone, "What's wrong with you?"
"Princess, we heard that this place is illegally auctioning people, so we've come here to shut it down!"
The general seemed to answer respectfully, but his eyes kept glancing around as if he was looking for something.
Shangguan Qing snorted coldly, thinking to herself that there seemed to be something else behind today's events, and perhaps there was an even bigger surprise waiting for her.
"General, what are you looking for?"
The man knelt hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I'm definitely not looking for anything!"
Baili Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and defended her.
"Sister, this is General Qiao. His family has loyally protected our Dongli Kingdom for generations! Today's events were all thanks to General Qiao's timely arrival and assistance!"
However, Shangguan Qing's eyes were full of sarcasm, and she responded with a sneer.
"Oh, thank you so much, General Qiao!"
The general naturally noticed the sarcasm in Shangguan Qing's tone, and couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Princess, what do you mean by that? I don't know how I have offended you."
Shangguan Qing smiled coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said sarcastically.
"Haha, how can that be offensive? It's just that General Qiao's timing was too coincidental! If you had come a little earlier, you might have caught those who escaped and found some solid evidence. But you showed up right when everyone had just evacuated."
Upon hearing this, General Qiao immediately looked displeased and retorted angrily.
"Your Highness, please don't accuse me of this! I rushed here immediately after receiving the news and didn't delay intentionally. Furthermore, all of this is done to protect the safety of the royal family and maintain national stability. Your groundless accusations are truly unacceptable!"
Then General Qiao looked aggrieved and his voice choked with sobs.
"I respectfully address you as the Crown Princess, but you cannot slander me like this! I'm late because I've been mobilizing troops. They were dispatched very quickly, but to capture these people, it's not enough to just surround them; a large number of manpower is needed, so there's a delay. Why are you slandering me now that I'm here?"
Shangguan Qing smiled, his tone relaxed.
"Alright, then consider it my fault. However, I've found the secret passage they used to escape, and General Qiao will lead his men to attack it shortly."
When General Qiao heard this, he was startled, a trace of nervousness and uneasiness appeared on his face, and he asked stutteringly.
"Okay... okay, where is the secret passage?"
At this time, even Baili Yuan who was standing by noticed something unusual.
He frowned, his tone a little doubtful.
"General Qiao, when I first approached the Queen Mother, I wanted to seal off all the locations, but you suggested sealing them all off."
Then, Baili Yuan frowned tightly, and the words he said made him more and more frightened.
"But you insisted on dividing your forces, and it took you a quarter of an hour just to surround them! You kept saying that as long as we surrounded them, they would never escape, but what happened? They escaped right under our noses. Fortunately, my sister is safe and sound. Otherwise, even if you had eight lives, it wouldn't be enough to compensate you."
Hearing this, General Qiao's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he still forced himself to refute calmly.
"Sir, you can't say that. It takes time to mobilize troops."
Shangguan Qing sneered after hearing this, looked at General Qiao with eyes as sharp as a knife, and spoke coldly.
"That's fine. I already know where the exit of the secret passage is. Otherwise, I'd like to trouble General Qiao to go with me. Let's go to this gang's lair and investigate thoroughly."
When General Qiao heard this, his face turned pale instantly, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, his eyes were full of fear, and he stammered in response.
"Or... let's not do it. This matter is of great importance. We should report it to Her Majesty the Queen first and let her decide how to deal with it."
The smile on Shangguan Qing's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a frosty expression, and he responded in an extremely cold tone.
"Oh? Then I wonder if General Qiao wants to give the enemy enough time to escape, or give himself enough time to tip off?"
