272 Hostages (and updates.)

The person who came didn't take Xi Niang in his eyes at all, and was about to open her with a wave of his palm, but Xi Niang took this palm, grabbed the man's arm and bit it down, using the way she used to deal with the nonsense and pestering guests in the Closed Moon Pavilion, raised her knee and pushed him on the stomach, it really had a bit of attack power, the man was caught off guard and ate the pain, stumbled under his feet, and rolled on the ground with Xi Niang.

And at this moment, the people guarding the gate of the cemetery also rushed in to protect Mr. Mu and the princess, the assassin gradually gained the upper hand, seeing that the long sword was pointed at him, the man pinched Xi Niang's neck, pulled out a short knife from his boots and put it against her neck, and yelled "Withdraw!" ”

The companions all retreated behind him, dragging Xi Niang as a shield, everyone withdrew all the way out, the guards pressed step by step, thinking that Xi Niang would be thrown down in the end, but they actually left with Xi Niang, lest they set up an ambush with retreat, the guards did not continue to catch up, but hoped to send Mr. Mu and Xiangxiang to a safe place as soon as possible.

Jian Feng ran up and asked Shibo if there was anything wrong, Xiangxiang and Shen Yan stayed where they were, they just watched Xi Niang being taken away, Shen Yan pulled Xiangxiang by the hand, and asked in horror: "Xiangxiang, what should I do?" ”

Xiangxiang relieved himself and called the guards to ask them to go to Xiniang immediately, but the guards frowned and said: "I'm afraid that if they lead us away, someone else will come, ladies and ladies, just now came the news, the palace has also been attacked, it can be seen that there are quite a few of them." ”

"What about Kexi Niang, you don't save her?" Xiangxiang almost pleaded, and said excitedly, "Save her, you must save Xi Niang." ”

The guards promised that when they returned to safety, they would definitely arrange for people to find Xi Niang's whereabouts, and when it came to the affairs of the palace, Xiang Xiang and Shen Yan were dumbfounded, not understanding why Pang Qianyou was at home and why the assassins took her away?

When everyone returned to the palace, Xiangxiang saw that his bedroom was turned into a mess, and thought that the assassin was looking for something, but the frightened maid on the side said: "Madam, this is not the assassin's work, this is all made by Miss Pang, she turned over your things, put all your clothes and jewelry on her body, and said that she is the mistress of this house, and this is her house." ”

Shen Yan helped Xiangxiang into the door, and sure enough, she found that the jewelry rouge on the dressing table was also turned into a mess, if the assassin was looking for something, how could he not paint the rouge everywhere, Shen Yan felt a chill on her back, thinking that Xiangxiang must also be uncomfortable, looking back, she really tightened her face, and ordered coldly: "Pack up these things and throw them away, I don't want them." ”

"Yes...... the maids and grandmothers didn't dare to clean up the mess in this house, and wanted to keep the master to come back to watch, so they started to clean it up one after another.

"Why did the Assassins arrest her? What do they ask for? Xiangxiang suddenly asked.

"I heard that I was looking for gold, and the specific slaves and maids didn't know, but Miss Pang yelled, saying that when the prince came back, she would cut them with a thousand knives and ask them to let them go, she, she said that the prince was her husband." A maid replied, "The slaves and maids all think that they have taken Miss Pang away." ”

"Take two at once." Xiangxiang felt weak in his knees, and his body shook.

Shen Yan hurriedly helped her sit down and persuaded: "It's better for me to say something I shouldn't say than for you to fall into their hands, if you are taken away, you will inevitably hurt the child." Xiangxiang, don't think nonsense, Mr. Mu, they will definitely think of bringing Xi Niang back. ”

Xiang Xiang nodded, trying to calm herself, she couldn't panic, she handed over the house to the maids to clean, and she and Shen Yan came to see Mr. Mu again. Originally, Mr. Mu had experienced a lot, so he would not be frightened by a few assassins, but seeing Xi Niang fall into the hands of thieves in order to protect him, he was really uneasy, and all the way back to this point, he urged everyone to find the traces of the assassins, and it was bound to recover Xi Niang. But they were just outside the city, the area was open, and there was no difficulty in crossing the city gate, and those assassins took Xi Niang to hide in no one's place, and they couldn't find it at all.

When Xiangxiang came, a person replied: "Because of the victory, the guards of the various gates in the capital have been slackened in the past few days, I am afraid that Miss Pang has been taken out, and no suspicious traces have been found in the capital." The kidnapping of the two girls was obviously a strategy, but I didn't know what their real purpose was. ”

"Uncle, the maid in my room said that when they kidnapped Qianyou, they mistook her for me, and forced her to ask her about the whereabouts of the gold at that time." Xiangxiang walked in front of Mr. Mu, although she was already calm, but as soon as she spoke, her voice was still a little trembling, and she asked the guards directly, "Isn't there any clue?" ”

"The people who tracked down to the mansion originally had clues, but after they kidnapped Miss Pang just now, they scattered and fled everywhere, our people guarded the palace first, and after confirming that there was no residue in the mansion, there was no direction to follow out."

Xiangxiang and Mr. Mu glanced at each other, Mr. Mu didn't care about Pang Qianyou, he was not familiar with this child, he only knew that he was a person who kept causing trouble for them, but Xi Niang didn't just save him, it was his daughter-in-law, and she was the future hostess of the Mu family.

"Send a letter to Qi Hui Muqing and tell them what happened here." Mr. Mu's cold gaze was very similar to Qi Hui's murderous aura when he was furious, and he commanded, "There have been victories over there, and the enemy army is at the end of the road." ”

Xiangxiang couldn't help but follow along: "Will they use Xi Niang as a hostage?" ”

Mr. Mu bowed his head: "There is a chance that this will be the case, otherwise it will not be good for them to rush with two women." He sighed heavily, touching his weak knees, he must be annoyed that he was unable to protect Xi Niang, but the old gentleman still calmed down and instructed his family, "We must not be negligent anymore, we are all carried away by victory." ”

Xiangxiang's heart tightened, and she suddenly understood what she should do at this moment, and said to Mr. Mu: "Uncle, the palace will be handed over to you, we should have been prepared for danger in times of peace, but we were negligent and let people take advantage of the loopholes." Uncle, I'll go back to the palace, the court and the clan can't be chaotic anymore, and we must wait for the triumphant return of the army no matter what. ”

Mr. Mu was silent, Xiangxiang was slightly weak, and he was about to leave home and go back to the palace without stopping, Shen Yan sent it all the way to the door, and repeatedly told her to be careful, Xiangxiang also held Shen Yan's hand tightly and said, "We can't have an accident again." ”

After this day, the capital re-heightened vigilance, but Xi Niang and Pang Qianyou have been taken away from the capital, they each followed their captors for a whole day, at sunset and dusk, settled in a people's house, Xi Niang was pushed into the house, saw Pang Qianyou crooked on the side, she was tied hand and foot like herself, gagged, and Pang Qianyou was even more unconscious, I don't know whether she was drugged or knocked out.

"Be honest." The men said fiercely.

Xi Niang didn't dare to provoke them, and waited for them to leave, only then did she slowly move her body to push the sleeping Qianyou, again and again, and finally woke up Qianyou, she opened her eyes hard, found that her hands and feet were tied, and found that she had a cloth in her mouth, and immediately woke up, her face was terrified. Seeing Xi Niang like this again, she made a whining sound.

Xi Niang wanted her to be quiet, but it was too late, and the people outside heard the movement and broke in, and scolded fiercely: "Be honest, or you will screw your heads off." ”

Among these people, there are a few strangers with abnormal appearances, Pang Qian is crying, Xi Niang is still calm, those people are a little impatient, someone outside comes in, Xi Niang heard someone saying: "My lord, we arrested Prince Shuo, and there is a girl next to the old thing." ”

A man in his forties and fifties walked in, Qianyou and Xi Niang actually recognized it, and Qianyou struggled to blink his eyes as if he wanted the person to save him, and Xi Niang already understood that this person who followed Pang Jun in the past should be the enemy country lurking in the capital, he couldn't let them go, Pang Qianyou was too naΓ―ve.

Sure enough, the man sneered: "What Prince Shuo, this is Pang Jun's daughter, this ......" The man pointed at Xi Niang and said, "This is a prostitute, but she has a close relationship with Qi Hui, which is somewhat useful, and it is okay, she uses it to threaten Qi Hui, Pang Jun's daughter, Pang Shifeng will not ignore his sister." Don't make any more mistakes, keep an eye on them. ”

"Yes!" When everyone received the order, they found ropes again and tied up Xi Niang and Qianyou again to ensure that they could not escape.

Pang Qianyou kept whining and crying, and was slapped impatiently by them, and she was not allowed to make a sound again, but the more scared Qianyou was, the more she cried, and Xi Niang could only shake her head at her, the more she was like this, the more she would suffer.

Pang Qianyou, who couldn't act or speak, and suddenly fell into trouble, was already desperate, would her brother save her, would Pang Shifeng give in for her, and now, as a sister, he has no confidence in his brother, and Qi Hui, will he come to save her?

No one knows what will happen after that, it will take time for them to rush to the border, and Mr. Mu's letter will not be delivered to the border in a day or two, they have to protect the capital, but also track down the whereabouts of Xi Niang and Qianyou, between the pros and cons, they chose to put more energy and strength in the capital, so as not to happen the same thing again.

And after Xiangxiang returned to the palace and talked to the queen about it, he left all the panic and guilt behind, now is not the time to be pretentious and panicked, the news gradually spread in the courtiers' clan, and more and more people came to entangle the queen, Xiangxiang has to cheer up to deal with these people who have fallen into the well, since Xi Niang and Qianyou will be taken hostages, they will not die, and Qi Hui and Shifeng will definitely not let them die.

Two days later, news suddenly came from the Mingde Palace, saying that the emperor refused to eat and take medicine, and he said to the palace people that as long as Concubine Jing went to serve alone, and the others served, he would not eat or drink.
