The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Everything went dark before his eyes, and Zhao Qi instantly became furious:

"Didn't I tell you to take turns watching over the Xu Mansion for twelve hours?

What on earth are you doing!

Why would you let two living people slip away right under your noses? "

"Sir, we don't know what happened. We were on guard the first half of the night, but suddenly fell asleep in the second half.

When we woke up, the Imperial Concubine and Madam Huo were gone."

Zhao Qi almost fainted, and kicked each of them, cursing:

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! They didn't even bother to go look for the missing person!

I tell you, if we can't find the person, we'll all die together!"

Zhao Qi hurried out, but suddenly stopped halfway and looked to the side:

"What has Lord Jiang been doing these days?"

These days, he and others have been keeping an eye on the Xu Mansion every day. Jiang Yuanzhou didn't appear in front of him, and he almost forgot about this person.

Now that something has happened, Zhao Qi always feels that he is responsible.

But he couldn't explain exactly how he was involved.

Whenever he had to use his brain at this moment, Zhao Qi would think, it would be great if Zhao Yu was here.

That bastard is smarter than him, he will definitely be able to see what's wrong!

"Your Excellency, Lord Jiang has been ill for the past two days and has been resting in the inn.

I took medicine this morning and just rested."

The subordinate who had been responsible for keeping an eye on Jiang Yuanzhou replied quickly. Zhao Qi didn't bother to ask any more questions and ran out.

At one point, all the people guarding Xu's house withdrew, and Zhao Qi left two people to continue keeping an eye on Jiang Yuanzhou.

Leaning against the window, looking down at the people hurriedly leaving the street, Jiang Yuanzhou glanced at the closed door with a calm expression on his face.

The rain began to fall again.

Fine raindrops filtered through the window lattice, soaking the soft couch beside the window. Jiang Yuanzhou glanced at it for a few seconds, gently closed the window, and returned to the table to pour himself a cup of hot tea.

The air was filled with hot steam and the aroma of tea. Jiang Yuanzhou lowered his head and took a sip, a faint smile on his face.

When Xiao Tong learned of Jiang Wumei's disappearance, he was at the border making a deal with Jun Xiaochen.

After a fierce battle last night, both sides were injured and realized that they could not do anything to each other, so they simply took a step back and discussed the terms.

However, in the Great Sage Realm, Jun Xiaochen did not have the confidence of Xiao Tong, and under Xiao Tong's strong suppression, he was forced to agree to two conditions.

Chen Yu, who was beside Xiao Tong, received a message via carrier pigeon. He took it out and read the contents, and his expression changed slightly.

Without waiting for the two bosses to finish their words, he walked to Xiao Tong, bowed and whispered a few words.

"Regent, I hope you will remember the agreement with me and not enter the Great Saint's land without permission.

Otherwise, next time, I won’t be so gentle.”

Xiao Tong's eyes flashed, and he exchanged tokens with Jun Xiaochen. After giving a cold warning with a stern face, he stood up and left with his men.

Jun Xiaochen didn't say anything else, but his expression remained unhappy.

Looking at their hurried backs, Wei Dong was about to speak when he saw his master, who had always had a calm expression, spit out a mouthful of blood.

Wei Dong was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support the staggering Jun Xiaochen, saying anxiously:

"Master, what's wrong with you?

Could it be that the Great Saint Emperor Sword is poisonous? "

"Nothing's wrong. I just sustained some internal injuries from him last night. I just need to rest for a few days."

Staring at the tall figure of Xiao Tongfei on horseback, Jun Xiaochen's eyes were cold. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and his face was gloomy.

"Set off immediately."

The fierce battle last night made him deeply aware of the strength of the Great Saint Emperor, and he also sensed his ambition to expand his territory from his subsequent words.

If Tianqi does not replenish the national strength and stabilize the monarch as soon as possible, it will sooner or later be targeted by the Great Saint Emperor.

The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.

As long as Jun Xiaochen lives in this world, he will never allow Apocalypse to be broken in the hands of the Great Sage!

"Master, the Great Saint Emperor has left. How about you rest for a few hours before we set off?"

Wei Dong supported Jun Xiaochen and was very worried.

Jun Xiaochen glanced at him sideways, his tone brooking no room for argument:

"Don't say any more, set off immediately!"

The longer he stayed in the Great Sage's realm, the more accidents would happen. He couldn't waste any more time.

Seeing his master's cold face and sharp eyes, Wei Dong didn't dare to persuade him anymore and hurriedly ordered people to prepare the horses.

Their horses were killed by the assassins who were chasing them last night, so they had to buy new horses before they could set off again.

An hour later, Jun Xiaochen and Wei Dong rode their horses through the last city on the border and headed towards the territory of Tianqi.

From Jun Xiaochen, Xiao Tong learned everything that happened on the boat that night.

He knew that Niao Niao cared about Xu Junjun, so he forced Jun Xiaochen to agree to one of his two conditions, which was to let Jun Xiaochen hand over the antidote so that Niao Niao would have no worries.

I also hope that with this antidote, Niao Niao will be a little happier and truly accept him sooner.

Unexpectedly, before the antidote could even warm up in his arms, Zhao Qi actually lost the person!

Xiao Tongyi urged the horse under his crotch again, wishing he could fly back to Jiangcheng in half a day.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast Xiao Tong rushed back to Jiangcheng, all he saw was the deserted Xu Mansion.

There was no sound in the mansion. Standing in the room where they had slept in each other's arms for a short night, Xiao Tong's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

He didn't expect that when he just went to chase Jun Xiaochen, Niao Niao realized something was wrong and secretly escaped again.

She was still pregnant, and he didn't dare to think about her having an affair.

At this moment, Xiao Tong regretted extremely why he went after Jun Xiaochen!

If he had not left Jiangcheng that day, and had taken her back regardless of Niao Niao's thoughts, even if Niao Niao was angry with him and resented him, she would have stayed by his side peacefully, nurturing the child until she gave birth safely.

At this moment, those warm scenes that he had imagined thousands of times in his mind were shattered like a dream bubble. The cruel and uneasy empty mansion made Xiao Tong at a loss and extremely panicked.

Standing in the room and looking at the big bed, Xiao Tong felt like a big hole was dug in his heart. When the wind blew, he felt cold all over.

Seeing Xiao Tong standing in the room for a long time like a stone looking at his wife, Zhao Qi, who had just returned from outside, stepped forward tremblingly, sweating profusely, and knelt down to apologize:

"Your Majesty, it was my fault for not protecting the Imperial Concubine properly. Please punish me."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Tong finally took action.

He glanced at Zhao Qi and ordered coldly:

"Go down and receive fifty lashes of the cane.

After seven days, continue to search for me."

Fifty lashes?

Zhao Qi twisted his stiff neck and kowtowed with tears in his eyes:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The emperor handed such an important matter to him, but he didn't even keep an eye on the people. Zhao Qi knew that he would not escape punishment this time.

Fifty lashes of the cane were heavy, but at least he was still alive.

I hope that after seven days, his butt will be stronger and he will have the strength to get out of bed.

Zhao Qi got up from the ground listlessly. When he walked out of the room, Chen Yu strode into the room with a serious expression.

As their figures intertwined, Zhao Qi heard Chen Yu speak respectfully:

"Your Majesty, we have found out that the Imperial Concubine left the Xu Mansion with Madam Huo only after the Qilin Guards and the Secret Guards were transferred out."

Xiao Tong hummed, a chill lingering over his body:

"Let Jiang Yuanzhou come to see me!"

After this incident, Xiao Tong finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

His original intention was to let Jiang Yuanzhou persuade Niao Niao to change her mind, but he didn't expect that this person would secretly help Niao Niao escape from his control again.

If Jiang Yuanzhou wasn't Niao Niao's biological brother, he would have killed this bastard with his own hands!
