"Brother Xiao, of course I believe you, but I want to know, where is my father now?"

It seems that he only talks to her when he mentions his father.

"He's in Daegu to clean up the aftermath."

He said coldly.

"And when will I see him?"

After a slight groan, he said, "Soon." ”

Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, love and righteousness can not be taken into account, I always felt that this sentence was a bit hypocritical and exaggerated, but when things really fell on your head, you can feel the helplessness and pain.

This is the case with Tuoba Jiuxiao now, if he can let go of a qiē, maybe Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter will not be missing, he should now hold his daughter and hold her hand to live a fairy-like life, maybe she is now pregnant with a second child for him......

Now his heart is about to be torn apart, even if 99% of his heart is occupied by their mother and daughter, driving him to find them, but the 1% responsibility is something he can't shirk, which is his helplessness and pain.

When he arrived at Qingxin Garden, he put down Shangguan Qingqing and turned around to leave, but he pulled his sleeve: "Brother Xiao, my waist was broken by you, and I can't move, what do you want people to do in the future?" ”

He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, if he didn't have a strong heart and suppressed his feelings, I am afraid that Shangguan Qingqing would not have been able to lie here intact a long time ago.

He withdrew his sleeves and said coldly: "This king will find a doctor to help you heal, since you can't move, don't go out and walk around at will, stay in Qingxin Yuan honestly." ”

Leaving behind some emotionless words, he brushed his sleeves away.

"Brother Xiao......"

Shangguan Qingqing's hand was in mid-air, and finally only held the air.

Out of Qingxin Garden, before Tuoba Jiuxiao summoned him, Xia Yu, Zhang Mama, Li Mama, Qiu Yu, Dong Yu, Mu Yun, Mu Jin and other people who originally rushed to the Xiao Pavilion had already heard the news and waited outside the door of Qingxin Garden.

"Lord Wang, it's really you who are back, and the slaves and maids are looking forward to you so hard!"

Xia Yu cried and took the lead in kneeling, and everyone else also knelt down, and when they looked at it, they were all the people around Lin Ling'er.

Just in time, he was looking to question these people.

Looking at Xia Yu's sad and eager look, his heart sank again, and then he strode towards Chongxiao Pavilion, leaving only two words: "Keep up." ”

Xia Yu and the others hurriedly got up and followed him, since Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter disappeared, she hadn't slept a day peacefully, she hated herself so much, that day Lin Ling'er went to the prince's mansion and said that she didn't need to follow, but why didn't she insist? If she insisted on following, she should be with them now, no matter what life or death, why should she worry and sleep all day here?

When he arrived at Chongxiao Pavilion, Tuoba Jiuxiao's tall body stood still in the courtyard of the inner house, and Xia Yu and the others knelt in front of him again.

"Lord Wang, please cure the sins of the minions."

Everyone said in unison.

He didn't care about this, but asked, "Xia Yu, what happened when this king was away?" ”

For Xia Yu, he can be regarded as loving the house and Wu, and he will always look up to him and treat him a little more kindly than other subordinates.

When he mentioned this, Xia Yu cried profusely: "Lord Wang, it was all good, it was really good, the master of Ling'er took care of the little county lord every day, made clothes in his spare time, and lived a very peaceful life, on the day of the little county lord's 100 days, the prince also sent the jade pendant prepared by the prince for the little county lord, and everyone was very happy." Later, the master felt bored, and wanted to open his own shop to pass the time, so he went out of the house a few times to see the shop, the prince knew, the master was an idle person, but she never came back after the last time she went out, together with the little county lord, Xiao Zhengzi, Mu Er, Xiao Yingzi, and Cicada are all gone, it's been almost a year, and there is no news from them! Lord, the slave and maid are looking forward to the prince's return every day, what can I do now? ”

Mu Yun continued: "Lord Wang, that day the master went to the prince's mansion, and when he was about to leave, the girl in Ziyue suddenly ran and said something, and Deputy General Mu asked the slave and Mu Jin to drive the carriage away to lead away the people in the palace, and the people in the palace were fooled, and sure enough, they ran far away with the slaves and maids, and when the slaves and maids returned to the prince's mansion, the master and the little county lord had disappeared, and the slaves and maids searched the Hades Mansion inside and out, and later reported the matter to the prince, and the prince searched the prince's mansion again, but he didn't see the master, No one knows where the master went with the little princess. ”

Mu Jin continued: "Yes, I heard later that the prince has been secretly sending people to look for him, but there is no news of the master. ”

Tuoba Jiuxiao imagined the picture they described, the original comfortable life of Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter was suddenly broken, and when someone came to the palace to arrest them, how panicked they should be? At that time, he was exhausted on the battlefield, and he was not by their side, which was really damned, and it was not a pity to die!

"Have you ever met Sinan's third son? Has he ever come to find Master Ling'er? ”

He asked in a calm voice, he couldn't act rashly until he knew the facts.

Xia Yu didn't know very well, but Mu Yun and Mu Jin had seen Amoli, Mu Yun said: "Lord Yu, the slave maid has seen the third son in the prince's mansion, but I heard that the third prince came to visit the princess, and he didn't come to see the master of Ling'er. ”

"But ......"

Mu Jin hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not, but after all, they were people who practiced martial arts, and they thought differently from other maids, so they told the combination they saw, "Master Ling'er did talk to the third prince in the prince's mansion, and the slave and maid didn't know what they said." ”

At this time, Tuoba Jiuxiao, the focus was all on the country lord sending people to arrest Lin Ling'er, he just wanted to figure out Lin Ling'er's movement trajectory before this incident, but he ignored the details that Mu Yun said that Ziyue's girl had come here, and now judging from their descriptions alone, there is nothing abnormal.

As for what happened between her and Amory, he couldn't have known better, and he would not believe that she had given up waiting for him and gone with Amory, that there must be something he didn't know.

It seems that if you want to find out the truth, you can only go to the lord of the country to ask for clarification.

Glancing back at the main room, he commanded: "Restore this place to its original state, and no one is allowed to set foot in this place without the permission of this king!" ”

"Yes."

Xia Yu wiped her tears and replied.

Tuoba Jiuxiao turned around and went out, he planned to go to the Prince's Mansion to question Mu Tianning first, when he left, he obviously entrusted Lin Ling'er to him, how did he take care of him?

In addition, he hoped to get some inside information from Mu Tianning, and he didn't want to have an estrangement with Mu Guxiong unless he had to, after all, he was his maternal grandfather, a relative who had taken him in and raised him for twenty-two years, and a benefactor who helped him take revenge.

Moreover, his current identity is very sensitive, different from before, now he is the first-class hero who won the Daegu River, according to the agreement, in addition to dividing the land that Sinan deserves, he should give the land he got to Mu Guxiong, but if he doesn't give up, support the army and respect himself, and stand up as the king, no one can help him, he not only has this strength, but also has this ability.

Originally, he didn't plan to set himself up as a king, although Daegu was laid down by his father, and he just took back what belonged to him, but until he had to, he would still abide by the agreement, even if he repaid Mu Guxiong's kindness, he would not oppose him.

But now that Lin Ling'er's mother and daughter are missing, if this matter is related to Mu Guxiong, some things will force him to reconsider.

Arrived at the Prince's Mansion, unfortunately, Mu Tianning entered the palace, fate seemed to have intended this arrangement, he didn't stay long, turned around and rushed to the palace.

Murray led a group of dead soldiers to follow, which was specially explained by Wu Yong before they left, because the Hades King is now sensitive, and he was afraid that Mu Guxiong would have scruples, so as not to put the Hades King in a predicament, and he must let a group of dead soldiers accompany him at all times.

But if you want to bring troops into the palace, how easy is it?

Tuoba Jiuxiao is not a reckless person, he knows better what is at stake, and when he saw that he was about to reach the gate of the palace, he held the reins.

"Lord, the military advisor said that now you are no longer the former king of Hades, it was you who led the army to recapture the Daegu country, and this country should belong to you, you have no reason to give up the hard-won fruits of victory to others, now whether it is the soldiers of Vaani or the soldiers of Daegu, they all admire you so much that they are willing to be loyal to you, have you thought about it, when you step into the gate of the palace, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out......"

Seeing him stop, Murray took the opportunity to step forward and said, "The palace is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to allow subordinates to go with the prince, the prince is alone, and his subordinates are afraid of ......."

Tuoba Jiuxiao certainly understood the meaning of Murray's words, why didn't he know his current situation, otherwise he wouldn't have reined in and hesitated.

If you want to find Ling'er, at least you must save your life first, cherish yourself, and cherish her.

"Turn around and get out of town!"

He ordered in a low voice, maybe Mu Guxiong already knew that he was back at this time, maybe he was setting up a Hongmen banquet in the palace waiting for him to go to the banquet, if Lin Ling'er's matter was related to him, he would expect that he would definitely ask him to make it clear, and it was really a subordinate strategy to enter the palace alone at this time.

"Yes."

Murray's voice was full of energy, and he continued, "Lord Wang, there is actually one thing that my subordinates haven't had time to report to you. ”

"Say."

He rode on his horse and simply threw out a word, his resolute side face full of power at all times, shocking people's hearts.

Murray followed closely and said: "Before the prince left Daegu, the military advisor was afraid that the lord of the country would change, so he sent 20,000 troops to set off after the prince, and it is expected to arrive tomorrow, and the military advisor also said that he must let his subordinates stop the prince from entering the palace, and let the lord of the country personally go out of the city to meet the prince......

"The military advisor thinks this king is a child?"

Tuoba Jiuxiao interrupted Murray, not that he didn't want to listen to Wu Yong's words, but that he was really upset and in no mood to listen to it anymore, not to mention that he had already thought of what Wu Yong said, although he realized it later, but it was not too late.

Mu Guxiong is indeed his relative and benefactor, but from the moment he took Daegu, this relationship has changed its flavor.
