Liu Huaibei immediately corrected and said: "Wrong, Erwazi, you are following Zhong Yitong as a sharp knife team, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Princess Jingyin is not familiar with the two people who reported their names, so she has no way to distinguish them.

But she warned: "Liu Huaibei? I don't care if you are Liu Huaibei or Liu Huainan, a Chu soldier dares to kidnap this princess, it's good. You should know what the consequences will be if this matter is known to General Zhuang. So, it's too late for you to end this matter with yourself. ”

Two masked men took Princess Jingyin hostage to a broken grass hut in the city, tied her up, and threw her on the ground after choking her mouth with dirty cloth and other filth. The man who called himself Liu Huaibei said: "Princess, I have wronged you, when it is dawn, they will come to you, you have to be patient." After saying that, the two walked away.

Jing Yingong, who was sleeping on the ground, couldn't take the initiative to play, couldn't speak, could only look at the direction they were going, and kept "buzzing......

Early the next morning, Zhuang Ji was going to the palace of King Qingxiang to greet the king. But when he was about to arrive, two people ran up to him and stopped him.

"General Zhuang, it's not good—" The dog Han who ran ahead barked loudly.

Gou Han followed Zhuang Zhiyue, and when he ran close to Zhuang Ji, he stood and gasped and said, "Dad, the princess and aunt...... She ......"

Zhuang Ji was stunned for a moment, and saw that the two children's anxious words were not clear, so he said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, take a breath and talk about it." ”

Gou Han pulled Zhuang Ji's hand and walked back, saying as he walked: "I went to the princess with Zhiyue early in the morning, and I was going to ask her what she wanted to eat for breakfast, because I am familiar with Wucheng, and I know all the delicious snacks." But as soon as he walked to the princess's quarters, he shouted for a long time, but there was no reply from her. ”

Zhuang Zhiyue continued: "Later, we went out of the hospital to look for it, and it turned out that the two guards guarding the princess were strangled to death and thrown in the nearby grass. ”

As soon as Zhuang Ji heard that the guards were strangled, he was also anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What about people?" What about them? Is there any gas? ”

Zhiyue cried and said, "Seeing that they are all dead, we are afraid and dare not touch them." ”

Zhuang Ji said anxiously: "Where are they, take me quickly." After thinking about it again, he pointed to Gou Han and said, "You, quickly tell Zhong Yitong about this situation, and ask him to bring some soldiers, no, carry out a city-wide search." ”

As soon as the dog heard this, he ran away, threw off one of his shoes, and didn't care about picking it up.

When Zhuang Ji saw it, he stepped forward to pick up his shoes, and called him distressedly: "Little child, come back, don't you care if your shoes are dropped?" Put it on quickly, only by putting on shoes can you run fast and your feet will not hurt. ”

The dog is bored on the road and trots all the way, which is really impatient and has a lot of accidents. He bumped into someone, but he hugged his feet and shouted: "Oops, it hurts, it hurts." ”

The person who was hit said angrily: "Alas, I'm really blind to you, and you have to look at the road when you run." When she saw that Gou Han was still a child, she sat on the ground holding her feet, frowned and endured the pain, and asked, "Is that you?" What are you...... What the...... The one who came with the princess? ”

"Yes, my name is Gou Han, and I blame me for not looking ahead when I ran, oops, I lost your soup." Gou Hanqiang endured the pain and stood up, and when he wanted to leave, he turned his head and said, "How much money, I will pay." ”

Ah Cai said angrily: "You can't afford to pay for any amount of money, I am an old hen soup specially stewed for Princess Jingyin, where do you get it, there is no street full." ”

When the dog heard this, he burst into tears.

Ah Cai thought that he was too young to be so unteased, and said that it was a soup stewed for the princess, and he was scared to cry, so he coaxed Gou Han and said: "Good boy don't cry, Auntie is telling the truth, but she won't ask you to pay for it, Auntie will stew it again, and you must let the princess drink the freshest chicken soup."

Gou Han cried and said, "Auntie, it's not that I can't afford your chicken soup, it's that the princess can't drink your chicken soup anymore." ”

When Ah Cai heard this, she asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Children, don't curse people early in the morning, especially the princess, she's a good person, you can't curse her. ”

Gou Han remembered that he still had something urgent, so he lifted his feet and left, and dropped the words: "I won't tell you, I have something urgent." But don't stew your chicken soup, princess...... She's gone. ”

Ah Cai stepped forward and grabbed the dog Han and slapped him fiercely and said: "You ignorant child, the more you talk, the more you don't talk like it, tell you not to curse the princess, you are becoming more and more disrespectful to the princess, you dare to say her...... Said she ......"

Gou Han touched his painful face and said fiercely: "I said that the princess had an accident, and the body was not found, don't believe it, you ask General Zhuang to go, he is at the scene." After saying that, he hurried to find Zhong Yitong.

Zhong Yitong first sent more than a dozen soldiers to surround and search Princess Jingyin's residence, and strictly inspected the gates of the city gate. After these things were done, he hurried to the place where the two guards had an accident.

After Zhong Yitong came, he saw Zhuang Ji touching the snorts of the two guards separately, checking the scars on his neck, and said hopelessly: "They have been killed for too long, and there is no hope of rescue." ”

Zhuang Ji said angrily: "Who is this doing, investigate, strictly investigate." He looked up and saw Ah Cai stumbling in, and said, "Look at you, it's early in the morning, what are you doing so early?" Go back, it's none of your business here. ”

As soon as Gou Han saw Ah Cai, he took her hand and said, "Auntie, I didn't curse the princess, you see, the general is also anxious about the princess." ”

Zhong Yitong looked at Zhuang Ji with a serious face, and quickly stopped Ah Cai and Gou Han aside, and said, "You guys are busy going their own ways." Sister Cai, you go back and prepare some breakfast, and I'll give it to the general later. He shoved them as he spoke.

Ah Cai resisted Zhong Yitong vigorously: "You go away." And rushed to Zhuang Ji and said, "Brother Zhuang, what's wrong with her, princess?" Could it really be that something happened? ”

Zhuang Ji asked rhetorically, "Who did you listen to?" Remember, the king is in Wucheng, don't talk nonsense about the princess. ”

Ah Cai said angrily: "Hmph, you don't tell me the truth, maybe the princess died, I knew about it first?" ”

"What, what do you say?" When Zhuang Ji heard Ah Cai's words, his heart was about to jump out, so he quickly covered her mouth, lowered his voice and said, "After the princess came, you were angry, I know, but now the king, the king is also here, the matter has not been clarified, and it is not easy to explain to the king, do you know?" ”

Hearing what Zhuang Ji said, Ah Cai believed that Princess Jingyin really had an accident.

How could she have the heart to go home and make breakfast? There was a fierce struggle in his heart, whether to tell what Liu Huaibei said last night that he wanted to avenge himself. Alas, if you say it, you will inevitably involve yourself; If you don't say it, you can't bear it.

Zhuang Ji saw her standing still in a daze, and said, "Why don't you leave?" Go back, it's none of your business here. ”

After Gou Han inspected the two strangled guards, he said to Zhuang Ji: "General Zhuang, these two people, I have no choice, the time is too long, the body is stiff, even if the gods come, there is no way to bring them back to life." ”

Zhuang Ji sighed and said, "Alas, I am guilty of taking back Wucheng and losing them." ”

Zhong Yitong persuaded him: "How can this blame the general? When I look at this, I have to find Princess Jingyin first, she must know what happened, otherwise, it will become a headless case. Hey, by the way, General, do you want to report the disappearance of Princess Jingyin to the king as soon as possible? ”

Zhuang Ji is worried about this.

Princess Jingyin's place of residence is not far from the official residence of King Qingxiang, what if the king inquires about Princess Jingyin's residence on a whim and finds that the princess is not there?

But Zhuang Ji thought about it for a while, and still decided: "Therefore, it is better to report everything to the king sooner rather than later." Zhong Baichang, it's better to do this, you quickly send orders to all departments, strictly inspect and interrogate all the entrances in the city, and search intensively inside and outside the city, without the slightest omission, I will go and report the disappearance of the princess to the king, so as to take the initiative. ”

Zhong Yitong persuaded and said: "No, General Zhuang, you have to think carefully, if the king knows about this and pushes the matter on you, Doctor Jin, what Zilan and this group of people, add oil and vinegar, even if you have a hundred mouths, you can't argue, and you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”

Zhuang Ji said resolutely: "I can't hide the disappearance of the princess from the king, even if he suspects that I did it and wants my life, I have to report it to him truthfully, I can't hide it, I can't hide it." Dog Han Zhiyue, you two carry these two guards back to the barracks and bury them. After saying that, Zhuang Ji walked towards the official residence where the king was staying.

Ah Cai suddenly stopped Zhuang Ji and said, "Brother Zhuang, you can't go." ”

Zhuang Ji said in surprise: "Oh, why haven't you left yet?" ”

"Why?" Zhuang Ji frowned and said, "Don't worry about men's business, go and do your business." With that, he walked away.

Ah Cai stepped forward to stop him and whispered, "If I don't care about this matter, the king will definitely kill you." ”

"Ah Cai, did you get up too early today and just say something that has nothing to do with you?" Zhuang Ji felt that Ah Cai suddenly became weird, and after speaking, he grabbed her arm and told her to get out of the way.

Ah Cai stepped aside and watched Zhuang Ji stride away, not taking himself seriously at all. Alas, for the sake of Princess Jingyin, he broke his heart, but this time, this time, if he eats her vinegar again, then Brother Zhuang, my Brother Zhuang will ...... Oh, no, you can't let Brother Zhuang carry the evil scourge in vain, wash it in vain, and lose his life in vain...... She watched Zhuang Ji walk faster and faster......

Ah Cai shouted loudly: "Brother Zhuang, you can't go, you listen to me......"

But Zhuang Ji didn't pay attention to her at all.

Zhuang Ji came to the official residence where the king was staying with a heavy heart, and the guards saluted and got out of the way.

One of the guards said in the direction of the king: "General Zhuang meets the king—"

The door where the king lived immediately opened, and Jin Shang poked his head out and said to Zhuang Ji: "Oh, General Zhuang came early, it is better to come by coincidence, the king is saying that he wants to see you." ”
