Chapter 656: Xuanyuan Hao is missing
"Yes!" The men in black agreed in unison, and just as they were about to leave, they saw Secret Whisper rushing over with a group of soldiers, although the number was several times more than the number of men in black, but those men in black did not take these soldiers in their eyes at all.
"What about the Nine Emperor Princes? What happened to the Nine Emperor Princes? The secret whisper glanced around, but he didn't see Xuanyuan Hao's figure, his heart suddenly sank, and he walked towards the edge of the cliff in disbelief, looking at the turbulent water under the cliff, he couldn't see the shadow of a person at all, his hands couldn't help but tremble, his eyes were full of anger and killing intent and asked: "Hurry up and hand over the Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”
For the threat and warning of the codeword, those black-clothed people didn't take it seriously at all, and no one answered his words, since Xuanyuan Hao had fallen off the cliff, there was no need for them to continue to stay, so they wanted to leave, but were stopped by the codeword.
"I want your lives." Secret Whisper knew that even if he killed all those people, he would not be Xuanyuan Hao, but at this time, the anger in his heart lost his mind, he picked up the long sword of a soldier next to him and rushed towards the group of black-clothed people, and those black-clothed men immediately dodged his attack, originally didn't want to take Secret Words as a thing, but Secret Words had no intention of giving up, so they had to decide to solve the Secret Words together.
The soldiers who came with him saw the code words fighting with those men in black, although they didn't know what was happening, they were so angry when they saw the code words, and they thought that if they let him get hurt, everyone would definitely not be able to escape punishment, so they rushed forward to help him.
Although those soldiers are not the opponents of the men in black, there are many people, because of the help of those soldiers, there are already a few men in black who have been injured by the code, and everyone understands that no one can do without continuing like this.
"After one person is broken, the rest of the people all retreat!" I don't know that one of the men in black shouted, everyone seemed to have discussed, one of the men in black jumped and retreated, and the rest immediately left the edge of the cliff.
"Don't chase it." Gradually regaining his senses, he stopped the pursuit of the soldiers, and said to one of them: "Go back and tell your county magistrate, and let him send me some more people, and the others will go with me to the bottom of the cliff to find people." ”
Secret Words led dozens of people along the river under the cliff and began to carefully search for Xuanyuan Hao's traces, but there was no trace at all, after looking for a whole day and night, those soldiers were already exhausted and sitting on the ground to rest, and Secret Whisper's body was also at its limit, if it wasn't for the will to find Xuanyuan Hao, I'm afraid he would have fallen.
"Whispering guards, who are you looking for? I've been looking for this for so long, and if I fell from such a high cliff, even if I didn't fall to my death, but you see that the river is so fast, people would have drowned. One of the half-sized officials asked cautiously.
The secret whisper didn't speak with a cold face, and after a long time, he said expressionlessly: "You let everyone continue to look for someone after resting, it's a man, slightly taller than me-" Xuanyuan Hao's disappearance, the stakes are very high, he can't tell Xuanyuan Hao's identity, he can only briefly describe Xuanyuan Hao's appearance, let people continue to search.
"So the Whisper Guard, where are you going?" The official listened carefully to the secret explanation, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, "Are you leaving?" ”
"Yes, I want to go back to the capital first!" Whisper nodded, no matter how tired his body was, he decided to go back to the capital first and tell Murong Xuanji about this matter, and everyone discussed how to do the next thing.
"Husband, husband!" Murong Xuanji suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and had not woken up from the dream just now.
"Miss, miss." Baoqing and Baoyue, who heard Murong Xuanji's shouting, immediately pushed the door in, and when they saw Murong Xuanji sitting on the bed in a trance, her forehead was covered with shouts, and the two asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is it a nightmare? ”
"Nine Emperor Princes, have Nine Emperor Princes returned?" Murong Xuanji grabbed Baoyue's hand on the side with some excitement and asked, "Didn't the Nine Emperor Princes and the Secret Whisper come back?" Before Baoqing Baoyue could answer, Murong Xuanji lifted the quilt and walked barefoot out of bed, walked to the window and looked, hoping to see Xuanyuan Hao's figure.
Murong Xuanji couldn't remember clearly how many times she had dreamed of Xuanyuan Hao's accident, and when she thought of the dream just now, her heart was still pounding, and the whole person became very uneasy, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
"Miss, it's cold on the ground, you hurry up and put your shoes on the bed!" Seeing Murong Xuanji's lost soul, Baoyue brought shoes to put on for her, helped her sit down and comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, the Nine Emperors will be fine, your face is very bad, do you want me to fry a pair of tonic medicine to replenish your body." ”
"No, you don't." Murong Xuanji shook his hand, looked at Baoqing and asked, "Baoqing, I asked you to go to the General's Mansion that day, did the General really not say anything?" Isn't there anything going on in the court and the palace? ”
"Yes." Baoqing nodded and said: "The general said that the court and the harem are very calm, so don't worry about the young lady, if anything happens, he will order someone to inform you in time." ”
Although Baoqing said this, he couldn't make Murong Xuanji feel at ease, but he was even more uneasy, he couldn't sit still and stood up and walked back and forth, the more calm the court and harem, the more uneasy she became, now that the eighth prince is under house arrest by the imperial concubine, there is no one else who can help him except the Great General's Mansion.
"Baoqing Baoyue, pack up your things, and we'll go back to the General's Mansion immediately." Murong Xuanji thought for a while, and decided to go back to the capital for the time being to wait for the news, if something really happened to Xuanyuan Hao, at least there was someone who could help him.
"Miss, you and Baoqing should go back first, I'll stay here and wait for the Nine Emperor Princes." Bao Yue blurted out and said, "If the Nine Emperor Princes or the Secret Whisper come back, no one will worry when they see here, so I will stay and wait." ”
"It's good!" Murong Xuanji thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "Then be careful yourself, if they come back, go to the Great General's Mansion to find me, if they haven't come back, don't continue to wait, I will always stay in the Great General's Mansion." ”
Murong Xuanji told Baoyue a few words, and returned to the capital with Baoqing, this time Murong Xuanji did not hide his whereabouts so low-key, after all, the emperor had already ordered Xuanyuan Hao and her to return to Beijing, counting the days, it should also be the day when they returned to the capital from the imperial tomb, so even if they were discovered, Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao would not be anything again.
"Auntie, Er Niang, Where's Dad?" As soon as he returned to the Great General's Mansion, Murong Xuanji couldn't wait to look for Murong He, and when he saw Murong He coming out of the house, he immediately ran over and said uneasily: "Dad, have you heard anything in the imperial court?" ”
"What's the matter?" Murong He looked at Murong Xuanji puzzled, looked at the anxiety and uneasiness on her face, and asked worriedly, "Is something wrong?" Why did you come back alone, the Nine Emperors? Didn't the Nine Emperor Princes come back with you? ”
"I'm waiting for my husband in another courtyard, but I haven't been able to wait for his person, I'm very uneasy, I always feel that something has happened." Murong Xuanji expressed the uneasiness in his heart without any worries, grabbed Murong He's hand and said, "Dad, you go to the palace and ask to see if there is any news." ”
"Xuanji, don't panic first." Looking at Murong Xuanji's ugly face, Murong He took her into the room and glanced at Zhou Xiaolan, who immediately gave Murong Xuanji a glass of water.
"Xuanji, with your father here, it'll be fine." Li Miaoxin sat beside Murong Xuanji and said comfortingly, "Maybe the Nine Emperor Princes have delayed some time on the road, you wait." ”
"Dad, I have something to say to you." The comfort of her family did not make Murong Xuanji calm down, but the uneasiness in her heart continued to expand slowly like ripples.
Murong He and Murong Xilang glanced at each other, then nodded, and took Murong Xuanji to the study, and after closing the door of the study, Murong He asked with a serious face: "Xuanji, what do you want to say to your father?" Is there something you and the Nine Emperor Princes are hiding from me? Seeing Murong Xuanji's poor face, she suddenly felt that she was hiding something from herself.
Murong Xuanji nodded silently, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "My husband quietly returned to Beijing because of the matter of the Eighth Prince, and we originally planned to stay in the other courtyard for a few days and then return to Beijing, but I don't know why my husband left suddenly, even I don't know where my husband went, I have been waiting for him in the other courtyard for two days, but I haven't seen him come back, and there is no news." In fact, I have been very uneasy since I let my husband go to the imperial tomb alone, and I am worried that someone will be unfavorable to him. ”
"You, you really are-" Murong He wanted to blame, but he didn't know where to start, seeing such a spiritless Murong Xuanji, except for feeling distressed, he couldn't say any words of blame, and after a long time, Murong He, who had sorted out his mood, said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll let your eldest brother go to the palace to inquire now, and see if there is any news of the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Murong Xuanji nodded, at this time her heart was in a mess, she couldn't think calmly, she could only listen to Murong He's arrangement, "Okay, I hope my husband has nothing to do." ”
"Daddy." At this moment, Murong Xijun shouted at the door, and only after hearing Murong He's voice did he push the door open, and glanced at Murong Xuanji who was sitting on the chair worriedly and said, "The secret word is back, waiting in the hall to see Xuanji." ”
"The Secret Whisper is back!" When Murong Xuanji heard the name of the secret language, he ran out excitedly, and when he came to the hall and saw that there was only one person in the secret language, he suddenly stopped and said uneasily: "The secret language, where is the Nine Emperor Princes?" How did you come back alone. What about the Nine Emperor Princes? Did he go home first? ”
The secret whisper lowered his head, not knowing how to tell Murong Xuanji the truth.
Looking at the silent whisper, Murong Xuanji's heart sank, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart disappeared, he didn't dare to think about anything bad, he cheered up and said with a smile: "Is it that the husband is tired, go back to the house first?" I'll go back to the house and look for him. As he spoke, he wanted to rush out of the house.
