Chapter 66: Planning the Rescue
In the early dynasties of the Star Protector Empire, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were talking about where disaster relief was needed and where the war was tight.
As the emperor, Chen Xin and the first two big ones at the moment, it is not that he has abandoned the government, but that there have been too many recent events, in the end, how can a young man who is less than twenty years old handle so many bad things one by one?
At this time, General Hornak said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that General Ding, General Li, General Wang and their families died strangely. β
It was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, the northern coast of the empire suffered a rare typhoon, and the crops in the south were not good, seeing that they were going to use troops against the United States of the Arctic Regions, and the three experienced generals died unexpectedly at the same time, Chen Xinhe would be strange if he was happy, "General, what's wrong? Didn't Taifu come to the conclusion that he had accidentally ingested poisonous mushrooms? Does the general think that there is another secret in this?"
Listening to Chen Xinhe's unkind tone, Hornak's face changed, and he swallowed the words when he came to his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that there is indeed a secret in this. Xiao Qianjue's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Xiao Xiang, you wait for the old slave to report to Your Majesty, this early court has been held for a while, and you go to the palace directly with shoes, but there is something wrong. Chen Xin and the most fortunate celebrant and eunuch Zhang Kai followed Xiao Qianjue into the main hall, "Xiao Qianjue, the prime minister of Zhenguo, has arrived!"
As he opened his sharp voice to report Xiao Qianjue's knighthood, everyone's eyes were looking at this uninvited guest who participated in the early dynasty for the second time, and he was still late.
"Minister Xiao Qianjue saw Your Majesty, and entered the palace without reporting it in advance, begging Your Majesty for forgiveness!" Xiao Qianjue knelt in the hall and said in a deep voice.
Chen Xinhe was a little unhappy when he saw that Xiao Qianjue was still wearing pajamas, but he also knew that if the latter was not in a hurry, he would not come to participate in the early dynasty, only to see him staring at Xiao Qianjue, and his voice was slightly reproachful, "Xiao Aiqing is in a hurry?
Hornark and Chen Bufan also exchanged glances with each other, but they were puzzled by each other.
Xiao Qianjue organized the language in his heart and said, "The great general's daughter Yingying was kidnapped at three o'clock this morning. β
This sentence is undoubtedly a bombshell, and the expressions of everyone present are different, some are surprised, some are confused, some are angry, some are panicked, but to say that the most helpless people who heard the news were Hornak, Chen Bufan, Chen Xin and the three of them.
"Xiao Xiang, what are you talking about?Why was Yingying kidnapped?" Hornak didn't care about the court etiquette at the moment, and cared about the safety of his daughter, only to see that he suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, and sat on the ground.
Xiao Qianjue didn't care if Chen Xinhe didn't let him get even, only to see him walk quickly to Hornak's side, help him up, and then summarize the clues that are currently known, "Your Majesty, I think that there are doubts about the death of the three generals that the general just said, and it may have something to do with Ying Ying's kidnapping. β
Chen Xinhe saw Xiao Qian's words, and asked slowly, "Why does Xiao Aiqing feel that there is a connection between the two things?"
"First of all, on the way to the minister, I briefly learned about these three generals, General Ding is a former general, General Li is a military general, General Wang is General Jianwei, the three generals are all experienced in fighting in the north, the minister came to the palace from home, the staff said to the minister that the two generals Li Wang has always been incompatible, how can they travel together? And the place where the body was found is Luoyujian, which is where the minister absorbs the heart of the spirit beast, a desolate, no scenery at all, even if the three families travel together, it is absolutely impossible to go there. Xiao Qianjue said slowly, on his way to the palace, Mei Niang and Lu Guanchen basically figured out the ins and outs, and now it is just a summary.
"Is it possible for the minister to think that people who can't travel together will accidentally eat poisonous mushrooms and die at the same time in a place with no scenery? Is it possible? When there is often a shortage of food and grass in the army, game, wild vegetables, mushrooms and fungus are rations, how can the three generals be so careless?" Xiao Qianjue took off his glasses and pinched his eyes, "The minister is about ninety percent sure that this matter is a beheading action taken by the United States of the Arctic States against the generals of our army!"
Lu Guanchen's words stimulated the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the emperor Chen Xinhe nervously grabbed the handle of the dragon chair at this moment, only to see him leaning forward, "What Xiao Xiang said is not unreasonable, the three generals may indeed be killed by the northern thieves, but what does this have to do with Ying Ying's kidnapping? Could it be that the fine work that sneaked into the city wanted to assassinate the general, but he was worried that the general was strong and strong, and he couldn't do it, so he used Ying Ying to force the general to commit it?"
The smile on the corner of Xiao Qianjue's mouth began to converge, "Chen feels that the target of the person holding Ying Ying hostage is not Ying Ying, but Chen himself, but when he sneaked into my home, he kidnapped Ying Ying first for some reason. β
When Hornak heard Xiao Qianjue say this, his heart was like a knife, and his eyes became fierce when he looked at Xiao Qianjue, "Xiao Xiang, do you mean that Ying Ying was not in the academy last night, but stayed at your house, so she encountered such a thing?"
Xiao Qianjue looked at Hornak's chest that kept rising and falling because of anger, and his eyes, which were already narrowed into a line, were completely closed, did he have feelings for Huo Yingying? The answer is yes, after all, the two are of the same age, although they have known each other for a short time, Xiao Qianjue regards this eccentric little girl as his sister, even if Huo Yingying insulted herself at the beginning, after seeing her own essence talent, she tempted herself with her immature body, or after the emperor gave her marriage, she was obedient to herself, which made Xiao Qianjue even more sad because of today's events.
The kidnappers obviously did not want to make money but had another purpose, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew in their hearts, now that Huo Yingying had been kidnapped for three or four hours, if something bad really happened, even if she was successfully rescued, it would not be a complete body, and when the time came, what would be the face of the emperor as her uncle? What was the face of Chen Bufan, who was her grandfather's generation? Not to mention that her father was an imperial general, and her fiancΓ© was the acting prime minister of the empire!
Seeing that Xiao Qianjue closed his eyes and didn't answer, Hornak suddenly rushed to his head with a nameless fire, only to see him grab Xiao Qianjue's collar with his left hand, and slap the latter's face with his right hand, "Stinky boy, Yingying is still a child! If you didn't ask her to go to your house for the night, would she go? If she didn't go, would she encounter such a thing?"
Hornak's slap unconsciously carried the power of Jingyuan, although Huo Yingying drank with Jiang Huafan last night Xiao Qianjue stopped it, but everyone else coaxed, Xiao Qianjue was not good at sweeping everyone's interest, let her go, Xiao Qianjue returned to the academy with Huo Yingying after drinking, but Huo Yingying refused to part with Xiao Qianjue, and in desperation, the latter would take Huo Yingying home and share the bed with Sun Siyu Qing'er, but he made a bunk on the floor.
Blood flowed from the corners of Xiao Qianjue's mouth, and his face was swollen, he didn't explain anything, after all, Huo Yingying was kidnapped in his own home, thinking of this, I saw that he didn't know when he was holding a telescopic three-edged military thorn in his hand, and as his thumb was pressed down, the "click" military spurt skyrocketed from a foot long to a meter, and then stabbed into his lower abdomen without warning.
"Poof" The military thorn had already emerged from Xiao Qianjue's back at this time, and cold sweat fell down his forehead like rain, "General, there is an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, Qianjue swears, the first will definitely rescue Yingying, otherwise he will apologize with death! Second, no matter what happens to Yingying, Qianjue will definitely marry her and return to Xiao's family, otherwise he will apologize with death." As Xiao Qianjue spoke, a mouthful of blood spurted out without holding back, and there were two teeth in it.
Hornak didn't expect Xiao Qianjue to usually look soft and weak, when he should be responsible, when he should be responsible, but he is stronger than anyone else, he was in tears at the moment, and his hand stroked the latter's swollen cheek, "Qianjue, I swear in the name of the general, if Yingying really encounters that kind of thing, I, Hornak, will never force you to marry her!"
Xiao Qianjue heard Hornak say this, and he cried for the first time in the fourteen years he had been in this world, "General, Qianjue is definitely not a guy who just talks and doesn't do it, I have ordered the guards of the city gates to close the city gates, as long as the person who kidnapped Yingying has not left the city, then even if he digs three feet into the ground, Qianjue must save Yingying from ......"
Maybe it was because of the excessive blood loss, Xiao Qianjue's voice became smaller and smaller, if it wasn't for Hornak supporting him, he would have been lying on top of the court at this moment.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, no one thought that this kind of thing would happen in the early dynasty today, and at this moment, Xiao Qianjue had already returned to the Yusheng Yan Pavilion after Chen Bufan's treatment.
It's just that he was carried back by the Imperial Guards.
Xiao Qianjue simply told everyone about today's early dynasty, and then said weakly, "We are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, at this moment, brothers, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Lord, the old thief, I suggest that you let Ye Zi lead a team of people to check door to door, and you will definitely be able to find out the traces of the little lady!" Jiang Haoyang was the first to speak.
Xiao Qianjue didn't say anything, Feng Boting said, "It's not proper, there are more than 300,000 households in Changchun City, how can you check? It's too late, it's been more than four hours since the little lady was kidnapped!"
Ye Tianxuan also chimed in, "My subordinates can call on eight hundred brothers, if you follow the old thief's method, it will take at least a few hours, and even if something is found out at that time, I'm afraid it will be ......" He didn't dare to say what he said later.
Mei Niang said at this moment, "Brother, I have sent all the local snakes in the trading house who collect stall protection fees to inquire about the suspicious people in the city recently, and if there is any news, I will know it as soon as possible." β
Xiao Qianjue nodded with satisfaction, I have to say that it was a wise decision to accept Mei Niang under his command at the beginning, how many talents can there be in the world with their own intelligence news?
At this moment, Lu Guanchen seemed to think of something, only to see him take a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Don't worry, the person who kidnapped Miss Huo is not masterful, I borrowed a ladder just now when the lord went to court, and looked at the footprints on the wall of this building, the left footprint is obviously deeper than the right footprint, and there will be a nail every other meter, this must be used by someone to climb the building." β
Chen Xing was also present at the moment, listening to Lu Guanchen's words, his eyes lit up, "Childe rest assured, if Guanchen guesses well, then you can lock the characteristics of the kidnapper, the kidnapper Miss Huo must be the person with a lame right foot, as for the nail, you can pull it out and compare it in various shops in the city to determine the buyer's figure and appearance, in addition, Xing has a plan, but he has to be wronged by the son." β
Xiao Qianjue listened to Chenxing's words, and his originally pale face began to turn bloody, "Ah Xing, as long as I can rescue Yingying, I will admit any grievances, because time is not on our side." β
Chen Xing heard Xiao Qianjue's reply, and said in a low voice, "Yu Chaotang, the son of external propaganda, stabbed himself with a sword because he felt sorry for the general, because the wound was triangular, although he lived for a while after treatment, he was seriously injured and died when he returned home. β
