Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, and said to Yan Zixi affectionately: "Xi'er, I promise you for my husband that I will definitely come back to see you and the child safely!" ”

"Uh-huh, then I'm done." Yan Zixi nodded again and again, and then stretched out her finger.

"Xi'er, what are you ......" Xiao Jingcong didn't know what Yan Zixi meant, and asked strangely.

"Jingcong, I want you to hook me. Otherwise, who knows if you will break your word! ”

Hearing Yan Zixi's words, Xiao Jingcong was slightly stunned, and replied with a smile: "Xi'er, why are you still like a child, this hook or something is a trick to deceive children, do you also believe it?" ”

"I don't care, Jingcong, are you coming?" Yan Zixi didn't know anything, so she should take it as a psychological comfort for herself.

Xiao Jingcong shook his head when he heard this, but he still stretched out his hand and hooked it with Yan Zixi's fingers. Yan Zixi had words in her mouth, "Hang yourself on the hook, you can't change for a hundred years!" ”

After pulling the hook, Xiao Jingcong instructed again, "Xi'er, during the time that your husband is not in the house, you must take care of yourself, don't have any conflicts with your mother, she is old, you don't need to be knowledgeable with her, let her be a little more in everything, you know?" ”

"I know, Jingcong." Yan Zixi bit her lip lightly and nodded vigorously.

Nonsense, Xiao Jingcong is not in the house, which means that the only person who can protect herself is also gone, if she still comes to Mrs. Xiao, isn't it uncomfortable?

This night, Yan Zixi and Xiao Jingcong talked a lot, and the two of them fell asleep late at night......

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Jingcong rushed to the school to order troops, and he didn't even have time to say hello to Yan Zixi for the last time.

Xiao Jingcong stood on the podium and encouraged the morale of the soldiers in the audience.

"You are all good sons of Da Xiao, now that Bei Liang and Yuan Xia have violated my Da Xiao territory, what should you do?" Xiao Jingcong looked at the soldiers and asked.

When all the soldiers heard this, they raised their weapons one after another, and roared there vigorously: "Fight! War! Battle ......"

The word "war" broke through the sky, and the entire school field trembled.

Xiao Yuxian, the second prince who was belated, saw such a scene, and gasped in his heart, "This Xiao Jingcong is really powerful!" ”

Xiao Yuxian did not rush in to see Xiao Jingcong, but waited until Xiao Jingcong finished boosting his morale, and then sent someone to send wine to make a grand march for him.

"Brother Jingcong, I'm going to protect my family and defend the country, this prince has brought wine to see you off!"

When Xiao Jingcong saw Xiao Yuxian coming, there was no joy on his face, he glanced at him indifferently, and snorted in his mouth: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this king is going to send troops to fight immediately, so this wine will be exempted!" ”

"How's that going to work? Brother Jingcong, this is the best wine specially prepared for you by this prince, you don't know how long it will take to come back, drink this wine, and return triumphantly to Emperor Jingcong as soon as possible! ”

Hearing Xiao Yuxian say this, Xiao Jingcong didn't want to touch his brows in public, so he took a jar of wine from his hand, lifted the lid, and drank it in a big gulp, and drank a jar of wine in a few sips.

After drinking, Xiao Jingcong threw out the wine jar, and immediately gave orders to the soldiers, "All soldiers, go!" ”

Saying that, Xiao Jingcong hugged his fist from Xiao Yuxian, and then rode his sweaty horse, led the mighty army, left the school field, left the barracks, and went north.

Lord Chen, the secretary of the military department, saw Xiao Jingcong leading the troops out of the barracks, so he sneaked out, he walked to Xiao Yuxian's side, and asked in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, did you just let Prince Xiao lead the troops away?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuxian turned his head and glanced at Lord Chen behind him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful sneer, "Lord Chen, what do you mean by this?" Emperor Jingcong's brother guards the territory for my Daxiao and drives out the Tartars, do you still want to harm him?! ”

"How dare you?!" When Lord Chen heard Xiao Yuxian's intimidation, his face turned pale with fright, and a drop of bean-sized cold sweat oozed from his forehead, "Weichen has no such intention, no such intention!" ”

"It's good if you don't have it. Lord Chen, you must know that Xiao Jingcong is the peerless general of my Great Xiao, and he is also the foundation of my Great Xiao, so he can't fall now. Xiao Yuxian raised his head, looked at the dust and smoke rolled up by Xiao Jingcong's people, and reprimanded Lord Chen in a serious tone.

"Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness the Second Prince said is extremely true, what he said is extremely ......" Lord Chen, the secretary of the military department, arched his hand again and again, not daring to have any disobedience, and followed Xiao Yuxian's words and respectfully continued. After a slight pause, Lord Chen's eyes rolled slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then opened his mouth to ask Xiao Yuxian: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, it's just that Weichen is worried that if Prince Xiao really wins the battle and returns triumphantly, your throne is afraid that your throne will be in jeopardy...... "Let's read it."

When Xiao Yuxian heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

Lord Chen didn't know why Xiao Yuxian was laughing, and he laughed so wildly, which made him more and more puzzled, and asked strangely: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, ...... What are you laughing at? Could it be that Weichen is too worried? ”

Xiao Yuxian turned around and walked in front of the military department Shangshu, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and explained to him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Chen, you can put a hundred hearts." Xiao Jingcong will never be able to return to the capital safely, even if he really returns, the prince will already be the high-ranking monarch of the Great Xiao State by then...... Hahahaha......"

After speaking, Xiao Yuxian laughed proudly again, and the laughter echoed in the entire school field, endlessly......

……

Zhenguo General's Mansion.

The maid Xiaomei brought lunch to Yan Zixi, she walked outside the bedroom door, gently buttoned the door, and called softly: "Princess, lunch is ready, the slave maid has brought it to you......"

After waiting for a moment, there was no sound in the room.

Xiaomei felt strange in her heart, and called tentatively, "Princess, are you taking a lunch break?" The slave came in......"

Saying that, Xiaomei gently pushed the door open, and after entering the door, Xiaomei was immediately stunned. I saw that the huge bedroom was empty, and there was no Yan Zixi at all.

"Princess...... Where has the princess gone? Xiaomei hurriedly put the food on the tray in her hand on the table, and carefully searched the room for a while, but still didn't see Yan Zixi.

Princess Xiao is missing, Xiaomei doesn't dare to speak out about such a big thing, if Mrs. Xiao knows, she will definitely scold him to death.

So Xiaomei could only find it in the General's Mansion alone.

However, Xiaomei searched almost the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion, inside and out, but there was still no trace of Yan Zixi, and she was really panicked at this moment.

Before Xiao Jingcong left in the morning, he specially called himself over and told him to take good care of Yan Zixi and not let her be hurt in any way.

But now that Xiao Jingcong has just led the troops out of the city, Yan Zixi has disappeared, and Xiaomei has no face to see Xiao Jingcong.

Thinking of this, Xiaomei sat on the threshold with her head down, holding her head in her hands, and sobbed quietly.

"Princess, where have you been...... Come back soon...... Don't scare the slaves......" Xiaomei prayed bitterly in her heart.

Sitting on the threshold and crying for a while, Xiaomei felt that it was not a way to continue crying like this, and the top priority was to find Yan Zixi's whereabouts as soon as possible.

But she is just a little maid in the General's Mansion, and her strength is so weak, how can she go to Yan Zixi?

"Do you want to tell Mrs. Xiao about the disappearance of the princess...... No way...... No......"

As soon as the thought passed, Xiaomei hurriedly shook her head, Princess Xiao's disappearance must not be known to Mrs. Xiao, if he knew, he and Princess Xiao would definitely be punished.

Therefore, Xiaomei couldn't use those guards in the General's Mansion, because once they were alarmed, the news would definitely leak out, and Mrs. Xiao would definitely know about Yan Zixi's disappearance as soon as possible.

"What to do, what to do...... What the hell should I do......"

Mei stood up and paced anxiously back and forth in the hallway.

"Xiaomei, what are you dangling in the hallway?" A cold voice came, which frightened Xiaomei is startled.

Xiaomei turned her head and saw that Mama Rong, who was serving Mrs. Xiao, was here, so she hurriedly saluted her and grinned: "Mama Rong, why are you here?" Is there something Madame Xiao has to order? ”

"Oh, that's not it, Madame just fell asleep, and I just came out for a walk and happened to see you wandering up and down the hallway...... What's the matter, Xiaomei, look at your face is very ugly, is there something wrong with our Princess Xiao again? Mama Rong said bitterly, and the old eyes stared at Xiaomei directly, as if she wanted to see through her soul, "It's not as good as in the past, Prince Xiao has been ordered to go on the expedition, and the old slave still advises Princess Xiao to settle down, don't think about what moths are tossed all day long, otherwise something will really happen, but no one can protect her!" ”

When Xiaomei heard Mama Rong's warning, her face immediately showed a trace of displeasure, and she silently despised it in her heart, what kind of thing are you? Isn't it also a dog next to Mrs. Xiao, why did you give back your face? As soon as Prince Xiao left, you taught Princess Xiao a lesson?

I wanted to think so, but Xiaomei didn't say it directly, after all, now that Princess Xiao suddenly disappeared, she didn't want to make a big deal about it, let alone spread it to Mrs. Xiao's ears, so she pressed the anger and replied in a weird way, "This doesn't bother Mama Rong You are worried, you better take care of Mrs. Xiao, the princess doesn't need you to teach a lesson!" ”
