338 Thieves
Xiao Ting left the Gu Mansion and rushed all the way to the Jiangnan Palace.
She was silent, and Ah Da followed her mechanically, looking up from time to time, and then lowering her head again.
They didn't go to the front door, but walked to the side door, Xiao Ting was just about to knock on the door, but her hand just touched the door but it opened.
Ah Da flashed forward for the first time, protected Xiao Ting behind him, and then slowly pushed the door open.
There were two corpses, the blood on their necks was still flowing out, and the people were not dead, but they were unable to speak.
"Princess, be careful."
They hurried to their accommodation, quiet, very quiet.
That means the people who broke in haven't done it yet.
Who are they targeting?
"Do you know where the fifth prince lives? Or the son? ”
Ah Da nodded, and Xiao Ting ordered, "You go and inform them, I'll go and take a look first." ”
The thieves did not come in with great fanfare, so they were still afraid of the Jiangnan Palace.
Ah Da disagreed, "The princess will go with her subordinates." He knew that this master had the ability to cause trouble, and he didn't dare to let her out of sight.
"What are you afraid of, this is in the palace, and I am not from their Jiangnan palace, people naturally did not come to me, and the clothes on my body are subordinate at a glance, and no one embarrass me."
Xiao Ting waved at him and decided to walk into her courtyard openly.
By the way, take a look at the liveliness.
But what she didn't expect was that when she arrived at her residence, she heard the shadow of a sword.
He's meowing, it's for her?
Because she was a guest, the place where she lived was far away from the main house and very secluded.
At this time, many people in and outside the courtyard had fallen, but for some reason, no one came.
And those people inside were just some subordinates, and they didn't know much kung fu at all, so this group of people rushed in directly with their knives.
Suddenly, a maid ran out from under Xiao Ting's nose, still holding food in her hand.
Just about to go inside.
Xiao Ting hurriedly grabbed her, because she recognized it as the maid beside Concubine Chu Tian.
"Ah......," the little maid exclaimed.
"Don't be silent, it's me." Xiao Ting covered her mouth, and after confirming that she wouldn't shout, she pulled her aside and asked, "What are you doing here?" Where's your girl? ”
"Yes, in your house!"
"Huh?" Xiao Ting was directly dumbfounded, "Hurry up and find the prince, just say that there is a thief in the house, go quickly." ”
What Ah Da said, others may not pay attention to it, and now that the girls in the house are in trouble, they should come immediately.
But the maid was shocked at first, "But the prince is not in the house." ”
"What about the fifth son?"
"Not either."
"Where?"
"Before, the prince was in poor health, and the masters all went to the prince's side."
This Jiangnan palace is very large, divided into two compounds, half of which is a Jiangnan style building, which is where the younger generations live, and the other half restores the style of the imperial city, which is the residence of the king of Jiangnan.
On weekdays, there is movement on both sides, separated by an archway, but at night, the two houses will close the three gates, unless there is a master with a sign, can pass.
And in the past two years, in order to avoid suspicion, the gate of the place where the king of Jiangnan lived was also sealed, and he entered and exited from the new garden.
After hearing this, Xiao Ting was directly dumbfounded, "That's not to say, there is no master in the house right now." ”
At this time, Ah Da also found her, "No one was found." ”
There was not much movement inside, and it was impossible to alarm more people, but they had a clear goal, and they came to Xiao Ting.
Ah Daben suggested that they hide first, after all, he brought very few people, and it was not appropriate to go head-to-head with these people.
Xiao Ting didn't want to let them go, she wanted to see, she had just arrived in Jiangnan, which one couldn't wait for her life?
"Go and prepare ......"
Xiao Ting whispered in the ears of the two for a while.
Chu Tiankuo and the fifth prince sent the doctor away, and were about to say a few more words, when they suddenly heard a report from outside.
"Lord Shizi, the courtyard is flooded......"
Thick smoke billowed and rushed straight into the clouds, and in an instant, there was chaos in the house.
All the guards were dispatched, and the maids and maids were even more coaxed to run away.
When the fifth prince saw Xiao Ting, she was still holding a torch in her hand, and her face was excited.
Talking to a man.
At first glance, the man was not from the house.
"Aunt Jiuwang, why are you here?" Shizi stepped forward first, looked at the observation deck that had been burned to the point of only half of it, and then looked at the torch in her hand, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.
And the fifth prince was more direct, "You set the fire?" ”
As soon as Xiao Ting saw them coming, she greeted them, "Why did you come so slowly, if it weren't for Li Mo coming to help, these people would have run away." ”
The fifth prince and Chu Tiankuo were confused, only to find that there were several corpses lying in front of them, all dressed in night clothes and covering their faces.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Ting threw away the torch and said: "They came to kill me, I found out, you are not there, they want to escape, fortunately Li Mo arrived in time, so he didn't let the thief go." ”
W-what does this mean?
Chu Tiankuo looked at the fifth son, and found that his younger brother was also confused.
Li Mo stepped forward to salute, "I've seen the prince, the fifth son." ”
"Ah Da, let's talk about it!"
Ah Da had no choice but to step forward and explain for his master.
Now everyone understood, and Xiao Ting found that someone was coming to kill her, and the people she brought couldn't beat these people, so she decided to startle the snake and let them go.
Guarded by Ah Da, he was able to catch a few and catch a few, and in the end, he was lucky, Li Mo just arrived, and everyone was caught.
And what they call scaring the grass and scaring the snake is to set fire to their observation deck.
Chu Tiankuo didn't know what to say.
Li Mo also felt a little embarrassed, but there was no room for him to speak here, so he looked at Xiao Ting and said, "Didn't the princess go back to Licheng?" How did it come here? ”
Everyone knew what he meant, this was to remind his princess that she had saved the fifth prince of the Jiangnan Palace, that is, the life-saving benefactor, and it was not a big deal to just burn them down on a viewing platform.
After all, he is not the master, so naturally he can't make amends for the nine princesses, so he has to mention something.
Chu Tiankuo naturally wouldn't talk to Xiao Ting because of this, not to mention that if Xiao Ting had an accident in their mansion, then he wouldn't be able to explain it to the Nine Princes.
"I'm waiting for Mother Feng."
The fifth prince squinted at Li Mo with his eyes, what does this kid not know?
"The six girls are gone......"
The sound of crying and crying came, and as soon as Xiao Ting turned around, she saw the little maid.
"Didn't you say your girl was in there?"
There is also a reason why Xiao Ting set the fire, I hope these people will leave quickly, if they hurt Concubine Chu Tian by mistake, it will be her sin.
"Yes, but the slave and maid searched back and forth, but they didn't find the girl......"
There wasn't even a body, but she didn't dare to say it.
At this time, everyone was in a hurry, and they all ran in to find Concubine Chu Tian.
I really searched the front and back of the house, and there was no half of it.
At this moment, someone hurriedly came to report, "Lord Shizi, the county lord has been kidnapped." ”
Chu Tiankuo immediately asked, what's going on?
They and Chu Tianping went to see the king of Jiangnan together, and when they heard that the courtyard was on fire, they hurried back.
And warned her not to move around, and to hurry back to the house.
At the same time, someone came to report that the courtyard of the six girls was also a mess, with many dead and injured.
For a while, the entire palace fell into a panic.
Chu Tiankuo is the prince of the Jiangnan Palace, and the only way to live is naturally left to him, and Li Mo leads people to protect Xiao Ting.
The whole night was full of people and people were restless.
Xiao Ting naturally didn't sleep well, and originally wanted to go to Concubine Chu Tian together, but was stopped by others.
Well, she also needs someone to protect.
But who are those people here to kill?
Why did Chu Tianping also have an accident?
couldn't sleep, so he tossed and turned on the bed, originally wanted to ask Li Mo for questioning, but now he has no thoughts.
In the second half of the night, Xiao Ting finally yawned and fell asleep, when she suddenly heard movement under the bed.
She was clever and rolled over and got up from the side.
"Who?"
The bed board shook violently, and Xiao Ting's voice stopped the movement inside.
"Li Mo ......"
Xiao Ting hurriedly stepped back and shouted at the same time.
The door was knocked open, and Li Mo took the first step to protect her behind him, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”
"There's movement under the bed."
Xiao Ting pointed over there.
Li Mo waved his hand, and several people behind him immediately went over and pulled the bed open, only to find that there was a buckle under the bed, and the bottom was hollow.
It didn't take much effort for them to open the gusset, revealing a hole in the ground.
The two of them went down, and they didn't wait long before they heard an answer, "It's a girl." ”
"Girl?"
When Xiao Ting heard this, she was not afraid, and leaned forward, but Li Mo stopped her with a solemn face.
When the two of them escorted the girl up, Xiao Ting was directly dumbfounded.
"Auntie...... Woowoowoo......"
It turned out to be Concubine Chu Tian, who directly shook off the man's hand and threw herself into Xiao Ting's arms.
"Okay, it's okay. How did you get down there? ”
Xiao Ting was not very good at comforting people, and patted her on the back.
By the time Concubine Chu Tianfei quieted down, Chu Tiankuo and the fifth prince had already rushed over.
Concubine Chu Tianfei was a little embarrassed, so she talked about what happened.
After Xiao Ting sent Ah Da back, she was uneasy, afraid that something would happen to Xiao Ting, so she had to come here to wait for her.
Tell the maid to fetch some food, so that she can wait while eating.
But when she was bored, she found a dark shadow flashing through the window.
Frightened, she hid in the makeshift place on the bed to see what was going on.
Those people didn't seem to want to make much movement, they let out the smoke, and Concubine Chu Tian lay on her mouth, and after smoking the smoke, she rolled directly into the cellar.
was so happy that someone outside found out about it, so it was chaotic, and she didn't alarm those people.
She was lost for a long time, and when she woke up, she wanted to come up and take a look, and the movement that Xiao Ting heard just now was Concubine Chu Tianfei pushing the buckle board.
After saying this, the only living mouth left in the man in black over there, and the trial has also progressed.
The target of these people turned out to be the two girls of the Chu family.
"Those people are just killers, and they don't know who the Lord is."
When Xiao Ting heard this, her eyes widened, and there was nothing wrong with her!
For a moment the room fell silent.
Chu Tiankuo, the prince of the world, got up and said goodbye to Xiao Ting, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Xiao Ting waved her hand and motioned for him to get busy.
Concubine Chu Tianfei was also called away by her brother, so she naturally had to focus on protection.
