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

The man leading the way was startled by Xiao Tong's ugly expression. He came to his senses, nodded slowly, and recounted what happened yesterday:

"Is such that.

Yesterday, a man named Sun Er said that his brother was missing and ran to Qin Fang's house to look for him. He spoke very rudely and threatened Qin Fang.

That's when the beautiful woman stepped forward.

She is not only beautiful, but also very brave. She spoke to the village chief in front of that group of people and asked us to help drive Sun Er out.

However, I don’t know what Sun Er was thinking. Before we even took action, he took his men away.

As for whether Sun Er went there later, I don’t know. Anyway, the village chief didn’t ask us to go there to help.”

After the man who led the way finished speaking, he noticed that Xiao Tong's face became even uglier, so he quickly shut up.

Another man who was traveling with him quickened his pace and echoed:

"I heard from the village chief that Sun Er was working as a thug for a wealthy family in the city.

It's Qin Fang's bad luck to get involved with such a person.

But it's okay. To get to Qin Fang's house, you have to pass through the village. If we see her, we will definitely go over to help."

The two of them were talking a lot. Zhao Qi noticed that his emperor's face was as gloomy as the coldest winter, so he quietly quickened his pace and said nothing.

The group walked very fast and were about to reach Qin Fang's thatched cottage.

But the two men leading the way had just climbed over a hill and were about to say they were almost there when they were frightened by the scene in front of them. They screamed and almost rolled down the hillside.

Hearing the shout, Xiao Tong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly walked past the crowd and ran to the opposite side.

Zhao Qi immediately followed, but saw that his emperor's steps suddenly stopped.

Zhao Qi felt something was wrong and immediately took a few steps forward to stand behind Xiao Tong. At the bottom of the hillside were four corpses with their tracheas cut, their pupils dilated and their eyes wide open as they stared in the direction of the crowd.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and thought to himself, this is bad.

He turned his head quickly and saw the murderous aura on the verge of going out of control in Xiao Tong.

"My Lord, please don't worry. I will take people to check it out immediately."

Zhao Qi led his men past the corpse and, following the direction the trembling man pointed, rushed to the simple thatched hut to check around.

The thatched house only had two or three simple earthen rooms. Zhao Qi and his secret guards searched around quickly, his heart pounding.

After a quick search, he found a tattered dress in one of the rooms. Looking at the familiar embroidery on it, Zhao Qi was startled and immediately ran back with the things.

"Master, this is the dress we found in the house. It is indeed what the lady was wearing before she went missing."

As soon as Zhao Qi said this, Xiao Tong turned and walked away, his tone cold and terrifying:

"Gather all the troops and investigate for me!

If Niao Niao is harmed in the slightest, I will tear the person behind this into pieces!"

"I obey my orders!"

Zhao Qi and the secret guards knelt on the ground and responded in unison.

The two farm men were completely frightened.

I?

emperor?

This terrifying man in front of me is actually the Emperor!

They are leading the emperor today!

He also accepted money from the emperor!

Having lived for decades, they had never even seen an official. Now they suddenly met the ruler of a country. The two men were so scared that their legs went weak and they couldn't even stand up. They immediately took out the silver they had just received and spread it in their palms. It was neither right to give it nor to keep it.

Xiao Tong had no time to pay attention to the two of them. Before they could say anything, he turned around and left quickly.

The secret guards followed. Zhao Qi glanced at the two people who were frightened out of their wits, raised his hand behind him, and left a few people to clean up the mess.

Then the group of people disappeared in the blink of an eye. Before the two men could digest the situation, they were picked up by two secret guards one in front and one behind. They were so scared that they screamed.

"Sir, please spare my life, please spare my life!"

"Master, please spare our lives. We will never go out and tell lies. Please let us go and don't kill us!"

The two farmers, who were about 1.8 meters tall, were like two jumping frogs in the hands of the secret guards.

The secret guard who was left behind to clean up the mess was so annoyed by their shouting that he hit each of them on the head and said:

“Be quiet, we won’t kill anyone.

But you better keep today's events to yourself. If you let out a single word, you might risk your life."

The two men nodded repeatedly, too frightened to speak clearly:

"Don't worry, sir. We won't say anything."

The secret guard said nothing more. He took the two men aside and lowered his head to identify the wounds on the bodies...

Jiang Wumei's body had not recovered yet, and she was so tired that she was gasping for breath after walking out of the forest.

Not to mention the pain in her chest as she walked, which continued to accumulate and rise with her breathing, making every step she took feel like walking on needles.

In the end, as soon as Jiang Wumei walked out of the forest, her eyes went black and she fell down.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a carriage. The vehicle was bumpy and she lay in the carriage, her whole body aching.

Jiang Wumei stood up with a frown on her face. Her head felt dizzy and hot. She was about to touch her forehead, but her body made a loud noise as she moved.

Jiang Wumei paused, lowered her head, and her face suddenly turned cold.

Chains were firmly fastened to her limbs, and she was locked in the carriage.

The sound of the chains colliding was extremely harsh. Jiang Wumei sat up and stared at the chain on her wrist for a while. When she was sure that she couldn't break free, she simply gave up the idea.

The wheels were rolling, and Jiang Wumei was shaking uncomfortably but had no time to care. Through the occasional gap in the curtain, she saw the figures who had kidnapped her last night.

But at this moment, they all took off their black robes and changed into ordinary black clothes, dressed like wandering bodyguards.

In this way, Jiang Wumei could also see their faces clearly.

Looking at these unfamiliar faces, Jiang Wumei wrote them down one by one, leaned back in the carriage, closed her eyes and thought.

The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Jiang Wumei was very nervous as she had no idea who her opponent was.

The only thing to be thankful for was that this group of people did not capture the child. Jiang Wumei felt much more at ease after dealing with them.

Judging from the postures of these people, they are going to report back with me alive.

Only after she meets the master behind them can she think about the next strategy.

Leaning against the carriage, Jiang Wumei thought a lot. The only thing she was sure of was that this group of people wanted to use her to threaten Xiao Tong.

But the question is, among the Great Sages, who has the courage to challenge Xiao Tong?

After going through the people with motives in her mind, Jiang Wumei's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she had no idea the identity of the person behind it.

It would be great if Junjun were here.

Jiang Wumei sighed. If she had Junjun's poison on her, she wouldn't be so passive.

It's a pity that those bottles of medicine were scattered when she fell off the cliff.

If she had those bottles of medicine with her, she would have been able to fight against the others.

After a moment of pain, Jiang Wumei quickly cheered herself up. Now was not the time to feel sorry. She had to find a way to protect herself.

Jiang Wumei did not doubt Xiao Tong's determination to save her at this moment, but at this point, Xiao Tong's attention to her would turn into a sharp blade cutting her.

The more Xiao Tong cares about her, the more crazy the people behind her will treat her. She must not sit there and wait for death!
