Chapter 401 Missing
After looking around, Feng Jing finally spotted two familiar faces among the guards. He quickly raised his hand and beckoned, shouting, "Bring that man over here!"
How could the two guards dare to bring the murderer to the emperor?
Only after seeing Xiao Jingfan nod did he dare to move and carried the unconscious person over.
Chu Liuzheng leaned over to take a look out of curiosity. Just as he was about to open the system to check who this person was, he caught a glimpse of Ping Xuan's subtle expression, as if he knew the murderer.
She asked directly: "Do you know him?"
Ping Xuan didn't expect Chu Liuzheng to suddenly speak to him. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "He is Qingju."
Everyone:!!!
They all looked at Feng Jing.
What kind of good luck is this?
Feng Jing, who happened to have made a contribution, raised his hand to touch his chin and muttered, "That's a pretty accurate calculation."
Zhou Yuande was standing next to him and asked, "Whose predictions are quite accurate?"
"Half-immortal." Feng Jing pointed at the person on the ground, "The half-immortal said that I will have a happy event soon."
Isn’t it a happy thing to accomplish something meritorious?
After hearing what he said, the others immediately wanted to go out and ask the half-immortal for a fortune-telling.
But now we have to get down to business.
The group returned to the barracks.
Yin Lanci has been captured, and the next step is to climb the thousand-foot cliff to rescue him.
Xiao Jingfan ordered his men to take Yin Lanci away and lock him up first, and then try him after rescuing Prince Rui and others.
Inside the main tent, Lu Fei asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Miss Huang?"
Xiao Jingfan thought for a moment and said, "Let's lock her up with Zheng Qianqian for now."
"Yes." Lu Fei ordered people to carry Huang Ting away.
Huang Xin lifted the curtain and came in, reporting to Xiao Jingfan about last night's battle.
Chu Liuzheng served the tea and left. He said hello to Zhou Yuande who came over and went straight to the kitchen.
There was so much to do in the morning that no one had time to have breakfast. Chu Liuzheng had no control over what others did, but she didn't dare let the emperor go hungry.
The weather is good today, and the shed used to keep out the rain in the kitchen has been removed.
Old Wu and his men were busy at the stove.
Chu Liuzheng smiled and greeted the familiar people, then leaned over to look: "Uncle Wu, what are you having for breakfast this morning?"
"Wheat porridge and steamed buns." Old Wu said as he deftly cut the fermented dough into equal-sized pieces. "The wheat porridge is in the pot over there, and the steamed buns are in the steamer on the chopping board. I'm busy right now, so help yourself to what you want to eat."
"Okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed, and went to check on the oatmeal porridge first, then opened the steamer to look at the steamed buns. They all looked good, and he felt that two side dishes would be enough.
She picked up two cucumbers from the vegetable basket and took out a large piece of pickled radish from the jar of pickled vegetables.
Wash the cucumber, chop it into pieces and serve it cold.
Cut the pickled radish into strips and place them on a plate.
When she saw some fresh green leafy vegetables, she heated up the oil in a pan and stir-fried the vegetables.
The three side dishes took little effort to prepare. Chu Liuzheng guessed that General Huang had not finished his report yet, and even if the food was sent to the emperor, he would not eat it, so he simply took a steamed bun to fill his stomach first, and boiled a pot of water to make tea later.
While she was eating steamed buns and waiting for the water to boil, she thought about Feng Jing's lucky bag. She quietly opened the system, intending to check for Doctor Feng to see what kind of marriage the half-immortal had calculated for him.
[Wow, there was so much news last night, I couldn’t even read it all.]
[Tips, tips...]
Chu Liuzheng chewed the steamed bun and kept eating it.
【Jin... huh?】
She was about to click it when she suddenly caught sight of the gossip next to it.
The moment she saw the title, her hair stood on end in shock.
[Oh my god! This is killing me! ! !]
She didn't bother to look closely, she jumped up like a firecracker, and ran towards the main tent with her skirt lifted up.
[We must tell the tyrant immediately! ! ! ]
"Hey, why did Miss Chu suddenly run away? She didn't even take her things."
Hearing this, Old Wu looked up and saw the three side dishes on the chopping board at a glance.
He thought for a moment and instructed Tang Lao San, "Pour a bowl of oatmeal, pick up five steamed buns, put all these side dishes on it, and send it to His Majesty."
People have three urgent needs, and he thought Chu Liuzheng must have gone to the toilet.
In order to avoid the emperor's blame, it is better to send the food over quickly.
Tang Lao San quickly agreed and did as Lao Wu instructed.
On the other side, when Chu Liuzheng was halfway through his run, a riot suddenly broke out in the military camp. The prisoners escaped and killed many soldiers.
Chu Liuzheng's heart skipped a beat and he walked faster, regretting that he didn't have any lightness skills.
[I must——]
Before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly bumped into someone. Chu Liuzheng's nose suddenly felt sore and he subconsciously looked up. Before he could see who it was, his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.
Ping Xuan reached out and hugged the limp body of the person in his arms, looked around, and then took him into a tent not far away.
The light in the tent was dimmer than outside, and a slender figure was standing with its back to the door.
Ping Xuan threw Chu Liuzheng to the ground and respectfully called out to the man, "Master."
The person turned around, with a face as beautiful as a lotus and eyes as clear as autumn water. It was Huang Ting.
In other words, it was Yin Lanci after he changed his appearance.
She glanced at Chu Liuzheng and chuckled, "You're pretty quick."
"I just happened to run into her nearby," Ping Xuan explained, then asked, "What does Master want her to do?"
"The emperor likes her." Yin Lanci walked over, squatted down, and stroked Chu Liuzheng's face inch by inch with his fingers, with a strange look in his eyes that was difficult to discern.
Ping Xuan: "You... want to kill her?"
"No." Yin Lanci felt the warm skin on his fingertips, the corners of his lips curved up, and his tone was as gentle as a lover's whisper, "Such a good skin, it would be a pity to kill it."
She scratched the skin lightly with her nails, and a bloody wound immediately appeared on the skin, with blood beads oozing out.
The stinging pain made the unconscious Chu Liuzheng frown.
Yin Lanci narrowed his eyes in pleasure, pinched Chu Liuzheng's chin and looked around, chuckling: "It's just right to give the emperor a generous gift."
-
"Did you find the person?"
"No."
"Hurry up and keep looking!" Zhou Yuande was so anxious that he kept fanning himself with his sleeves. How could the person suddenly disappear?
"Zhou Yuande." A cold male voice came from the tent.
"Your servant is here." Eunuch Zhou secretly groaned, wiped the sweat from his sweating body with a handkerchief, walked in cautiously, and bowed, "What do you want?"
The air pressure in the tent was extremely low. The person sitting on the couch had a face as cold as ice, with cold air blowing out of it.
Xiao Jingfan asked: "Hasn't anyone been found yet?"
"No, no." Zhou Yuande shrank his neck and knelt down. "We've searched all the tents, the other side of the stream, and sent people into the woods, but we can't find anyone. It's been a whole day, can't it be-"
"Shut up!" Xiao Jingfan shouted, his face frighteningly gloomy.
Zhou Yuande was so frightened that he trembled and dared not say anything more, but he was thinking in his heart.
When Chu Liuzheng disappeared, the military camp was in chaos. Xiao Jingfan had breakfast and asked about it after not seeing him for a long time. Zhou Yuande sent people to look for him, and only then did he discover that Chu Liuzheng was missing.
If he was still in the military camp, every tent would have been searched and it would be impossible not to find him.
If he wasn't in the military camp, a whole day had passed. If he had left on his own, he should have returned long ago. But he hasn't been seen until now. Obviously, the only possibility is that he was abducted.
