Chapter 204 Hostages and Weaknesses
But, there is no point in saying this anymore.
Xiao Mo looked at the other person and saw that his cousin's face was gradually showing anger, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
When Chen Shuyao saw the man coming over, she asked in confusion, "Why did cousin Wang suddenly leave?"
Xiao Mo tilted his head and sneered: "You care about him a lot?"
Chen Shuyao shut up obediently. She knew that the eldest son of the Wang family had once thought about proposing to her, and perhaps the powerful husband beside her also knew it.
By the way, Xiao Mo had asked her what she thought of Wang Wendong before.
Chen Shuyao peeked at the other person's expression and said seriously, "After all, you call him cousin, so you should at least show some concern for him."
Xiao Mo snorted coldly, grabbed her hand and walked inside: "Come in quickly! Don't pay attention to these random people."
Chen Shuyao seemed to taste something sour when she heard the man talking about the outsiders.
The waiter in the store kept his head down from beginning to end. When Xiao Mo asked him to lead the way to the private room, he had already hurried to the front, as if he was afraid that Chen Shuyao would come to accuse him.
Afterwards, the couple took the rare opportunity to calm down and have lunch.
When they came out, a group of ragged beggars gathered at the door of the store, all clamoring to see Prince Xiao.
"General Xiao! I beg you to help us take back our fields and houses."
"Yes, the Xiao family is the pillar of Dayan. Now we only trust General Xiao. We implore General Xiao to ask the Emperor to go to Nanyang Prefecture to quell the rebellion!"
"We only trust General Xiao. Please help us take back our homeland!"
…
With this group of beggars leading the way, more and more people gathered outside.
Chen Shuyao's intuition was a bit strange. They were a group of beggars, but they found them so accurately.
Of course, the couple came out openly today and did not try to hide their identities.
However, it would be understandable if these people were beggars from the capital, but they came here from Nanyang Prefecture too quickly and in too large a concentration.
Most of the refugees fled in all directions. How did the people in front of me manage to arrive in the capital together by such a coincidence and find this restaurant so accurately?
Not only Chen Shuyao thought of it, but the man next to her also thought of it.
The person who came had bad intentions, but the prince could not just rush out without paying any attention to public opinion.
He squeezed his wife's hand and whispered in her ear, "Go out first and wait for me in the carriage."
Those people were stopping Xiao Mo, but they didn't try to stop her when they saw her leaving.
Just as Shen Shuyao left the crowd, she felt a pain in her head.
"Xiao...Mo." She muttered and then lost consciousness.
When the man finally escaped from the siege and saw their maids and guards standing neatly in front of the carriage, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he took a few steps forward and pulled open the curtain.
"Where are the people?"
"My Lord, are you talking about Madam? We...we didn't see her..." Huixiang said. Seeing the person in front of her face turn pale in an instant, she also became anxious.
Just as he was about to ask something else, he saw the prince giving a few instructions to Wuming and Wuying, and he had already jumped onto his horse.
The horse kicked up a cloud of dust all over the ground, causing the people around to look curiously at the rider, but they could not see his shadow anywhere.
We were originally out to eat happily, but something unexpected happened.
Huixiang didn't know what she could do. Besides her, there were also Zisu and Dongqing who followed her all the way. They were originally female guards beside the Crown Prince's wife, and usually never left her side.
But today, the Madam was with Master Shi Le, so the servants automatically stood a little further away.
Madam...where has Madam gone?
What on earth happened just now?
Zi Su and Dong Qing didn't dare to think about it. Hui Xiang's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't cry, nor did she dare to ask anyone rashly.
If others knew that the lady might have been abducted, her reputation would be ruined.
Following his master's orders, Wuming hurriedly ordered people to seal the city gates, and then led nearly a thousand Jinwu guards straight to Chunfeng Tower.
Liu Qingwan was really scared when she saw the wooden door in front of her that had turned into pieces, and the murderous man.
It came so quickly!
"Where is the person?" In an instant, the knife was placed on her neck.
"What did you say? I... Lingyi doesn't quite understand." Liu Qingwan said tremblingly.
"Ha..." Xiao Hei sneered, then slid the long knife in his hand.
"Ah..." Liu Qingwan felt a pain in her neck. She reached out to touch it, and her hands were covered in blood.
Her first feeling was that this person was crazy!
"Lingyi..."
"Liu Qingwan, what Lingyi... tell me now! No one else would kill her except you. I don't have much time. If anything happens to her, I will use this knife to slice off your flesh piece by piece."
Although Liu Qingwan hid in Chunfeng Tower and pretended to be crazy, she had lived in the Duke's Mansion before, and only then did she realize that the prince was actually crazy.
Anyway, the people were kidnapped. It was her idea, and the person behind the scenes in the building did not hide it from her.
"She...she has already left the city, and I think...I think she went towards Nanyang Prefecture." As soon as Liu Qingwan finished speaking, the man's knife left her neck.
"Master! The person is here." An unknown voice came from outside.
"Help stop the bleeding and don't let her die too quickly." After Xiao Mo said this, he led everyone away.
The city gates remained closed throughout the afternoon.
In addition to the Beijing guards guarding and checking the important roads in the capital, Wang Shaowei led the Beijing guards to surround Chunfeng Tower and ordered the commanders of the four cities in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest to search their respective areas.
When Chen Shuyao woke up, she soon found herself sitting on a horse.
Someone was holding her waist, and from the strength of the arm, she could feel that there was a man sitting behind her.
But she didn't dare to move or make a sound.
She didn't know where she would be taken abducted, and whose orders this man was following?
Chen Shuyao thought carefully and realized that Liu Qingwan was her only enemy, and there might be some others she didn't know about, whom she had offended unintentionally...
But when it comes to hatred between women, it is not so carefully planned.
Today's fight must have been planned for a long time. First, they used refugee beggars to trip up Xiao Mo, and then attacked her.
At present, there is a bandit rebellion in Nanyang Prefecture, and the government and the public are asking Xiao Mo to send troops to quell the rebellion.
They kidnapped me so carefully, obviously in order to hold the prince hostage.
That means she won't die for the time being.
Can Xiao Mo come and save him?
Chen Shuyao felt a little regretful.
She suddenly thought of those who sacrificed their own interests for the greater good, so what about the prince?
He has obviously become a hostage, a living soft spot. What will he choose?
