Chapter 261 Xiao Yuncong's Suspicion

Xiao Yuncong greeted Qin Mengyue first, clasped his fists and said, "Mother... Auntie, you have suffered a lot on this journey. Cong'er is here to show his respect."

Qin Mengyue is the queen, and also the legal mother. Therefore, all the princes, whether they are her children or not, must respectfully call her mother. However, this title naturally cannot be called out now.

Qin Mengyue nodded slightly in return and said, "Thank you for your concern, Second Prince."

Qu Wenmin also spoke up, "I'm sorry to have frightened Madam Qin."

Qin Mengyue then looked up at him and frowned almost inaudibly.

They had just met at the general's residence, but now he was acting so hypocritical.

It turned out that my previous impression of him was wrong. This Qu Wenmin is definitely not a simple person!

Xiao Yuncong looked at Chen Fenghe again and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, we met on the street the other day. I wonder if you still remember me."

Chen Fenghe glanced at him and said calmly, "No problem. Regarding the assassin hunt tonight, how do His Royal Highness Prince Rui and General Qu plan to end it? Are they really planning to arrest us all and throw us all in jail?"

Xiao Yuncong smiled and said, "That's not necessary. I have a rough idea of ​​who the assassin might be. As for the others, they will definitely not be involved tonight."

As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and asked Chen Wu calmly, "Sir, why are the two people who were traveling with the exile team not here?"

Chen Fenghe's heart sank when he heard this.

Could it be... that Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu were recognized when they took action before?

If that's the case, it would be terrible.

Qin Mengyue, who was standing by, was also startled and subconsciously grabbed Chen Fenghe's hand tightly.

However, after going through all the dangers along the way, Qin Mengyue knew that even if she made a mistake at this moment, it might harm Xiao Yunshuo, so she forced herself not to show any abnormality.

Chen Fenghe also secretly held her hand as a comfort.

Chen Wu looked around the crowd and indeed, Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu were not there. However, he was also a veteran in the world, so he bowed and replied, "Reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Rui, that Young Master Yun and his entourage also accompanied us halfway. However, they are not criminals, so their comings and goings are naturally beyond our control. Therefore, I don't know where they are..."

Xiao Yuncong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Oh, so that's how it is?"

The innkeeper hurriedly said tremblingly, "Your Highness, Rui... Prince Rui, I just went to each room to call for help. The room of that Young Master Yun and his entourage was all wired from inside. Maybe... maybe they were fast asleep and didn't hear it. I originally planned to call for help after calling for the other guests, but I forgot. I'll go call again now..."

Xiao Yuncong waved his folding fan and said calmly, "Alright. General Qu, I'd also like to trouble your men to go up with you, lest if it's really them, it would be bad if they escape."

Immediately, the shopkeeper and a group of soldiers went upstairs.

At this moment, the door of the upstairs room suddenly opened, and Xiao Yunshuo appeared at the doorway, saying lazily, "Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night? Are you going to let us sleep?"

Xiao Yuncong subconsciously looked up.

Xiao Yunshuo still had a cloth covering his face as he leaned on the railing, his dark eyes casually looking at the people downstairs.

Xiao Yuncong narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he had already checked the background of this Young Master Yun, Xiao Yuncong still felt uneasy and couldn't calm down.

Lieutenant General Xu scolded him coldly, "How dare you! His Royal Highness Prince Rui and the General are here, why don't you hurry downstairs and surrender!"

Chen Fenghe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Yunshuo and Yuan Xu didn't seem to be in any abnormality.

Xiao Yunshuo sneered twice, then slowly walked down with Yuan Xu, saying, "Surrender? You don't even know what crime I've committed to deserve being arrested?"

"What crime? Assassinating His Royal Highness Prince Rui!" Brigadier General Xu scolded coldly.

Xiao Yunshuo's dark eyes swept over Xiao Yuncong, Qu Wenmin, and the others, finally stopping at Lieutenant General Xu's face. "That's ridiculous! I was just resting in my room, how could I be considered an assassin to kill His Royal Highness Prince Rui? Is there any evidence? If not, does His Royal Highness Prince Rui really want to slander me for no reason?"

Xiao Yuncong waved his folding fan with a half-smile and said, "As for the evidence, of course there is... This is it!"

He suddenly attacked Xiao Yunshuo with lightning speed!
