Smash the little fairy doctor, relying on fortune-telling to popularize the entire dynasty

Chapter 12 The Xiao Family's Mess

"Meng Fang." Old Master Xiao called out, "You follow Dr. Sun to grab the medicine."

"Yes, General!"

Meng Fang was the man in the blue shirt who had been following the old general all the time. He was nearly forty years old, and he was a mature and prudent man. He had always been a trusted subordinate of the old general Xiao.

After Dr. Sun left, the Xiao family father and son, Su Qingtian and the sleeping Xiao Nan were left in the room.

While the adults were talking, Su Qingtian kept playing with the human-shaped wooden sign in her hand. Seeing the outsider leave the little girl, she jumped off the armchair and walked to Mr. Xiao's side.

Grabbing the corner of the old man's clothes with his small hand, he stood on tiptoe and handed the wooden sign in front of him.

She asked curiously, "Grandpa, there seems to be something engraved on it, can you help me find out what it is?"

Hearing his granddaughter's call, Mr. Xiao stared at his grandson before turning back, knowing that he had ignored the little girl, and quickly squatted down to take the wooden sign.

Stretching out his hand to touch the little girl's head, Mr. Xiao carefully looked at the front and back of the wooden sign by the candlelight. After rubbing the back of the wooden sign a few times with his fingers, he found that there was indeed something engraved on it, which seemed to be broken words.

The wooden sign had been burned before it fell, and there was a layer of black carbon ash on it. The old man wiped off the black ash vigorously with his hands, and the engraved handwriting was gradually revealed.

As the words became clearer, Mr. Xiao's eyes burst out with a strong killing intent, and the fingers holding the wooden sign gradually tightened, and the wood creaked in an instant, almost breaking into pieces in his hands.

Xiao Yichen, who was on the side, noticed that his father's expression was not right, and his expression became serious.

He pushed the wheelchair to his father's side and asked in a low voice, "Father, what's wrong?"

Mr. Xiao didn't say a word, but handed the wooden sign with the handwriting on it to his youngest son.

Xiao Yichen took it and looked down, only to see Xiao Nan's name and his birthday clearly engraved on this dark and damaged human-shaped wooden sign.

Xiao Yichen burst into anger instantly, gritted his teeth and said, "Who the hell is so cruel!"

"Even if there is enmity with our Xiao family, can't even a little baby be spared!"

His face was gloomy, his eyes fell on the wooden sign in his hand and stared for a moment, then he looked up at Mr. Xiao and said, "Father, leave this matter to me."

Ding of the Xiao family was not considered lonely, but now the eldest brother is unconscious, and the whereabouts of the second and third brothers are missing one after another. Now in the entire Xiao family, he is the only one who can help his elderly father to share his worries.

Although he is already half-disabled, fortunately his mind is not yet confused, and the soldiers and generals in his family also obey his young master.

Mr. Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly in agreement.

Fengcheng looks calm on the outside, but only he, the head of the family, knows how dangerous it is behind the scenes.

Before my family moved to Fengcheng, the forces here were already intertwined. Fortunately, I was a general who fought with soldiers.

If it was a civil servant, he would have been wiped out by those people long ago, not even bones left.

Now all he needs to do is focus on the big chess game of Fengcheng and make a steady layout. If he makes a wrong move, this important pass fortress will be opened by someone with a heart.

At that time, let alone whether the people in Fengcheng can live in peace, I am afraid that even the entire Mo country will be in jeopardy.

"Find it out as soon as possible, and don't let the people behind it have a chance to escape."

The rough and strong hands squeezed the shoulders of the younger son, and the old man Xiao conveyed his feelings about the people behind the scenes.

"Cuckoo ~~"

A sound of hunger interrupted the conversation between the father and son. The two looked around and saw the little girl with her head lowered and her hands covering her belly and rubbing it slowly.

There was still something muttering in his small mouth, Mr. Xiao listened closer, as if it was coaxing himself.

"Xiao Qingtian is hungry? Little uncle has some pastries here, do you want to eat?"

Although it was the first time seeing this niece, Xiao Yichen immediately fell in love with her sister-like appearance.

The dimples at the corners of the little girl's mouth are exactly the same as her sister's when she smiles.

Xiao Yichen's eyes were doting, seeing the little head nodding non-stop, he immediately ordered his servants to bring in the cakes made for dinner.

Su Qingtian looked at the trays of pastries with bright eyes.

She licked the corner of her mouth, picked up a piece unceremoniously, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Spiritual power is scarce in this world, and once you use your own spiritual power, you need a lot of food supplies to restore it, so she gave the yellow talisman to Mr. Xiao to let him do it.

But who would have thought that a wise black mist spider would appear, and in an emergency, she had no choice but to use her spiritual power to shoot out a dagger to kill the evil spirit.

Although it was only this blow, it still made her hungry chest stick to her back, very sad.

Seeing Xiaowa eating cakes, Mr. Xiao thought he hadn't served the dinner well, so he quickly sat beside Su Qingtian and poured her tea and water.

With her mouth full of sweets, Su Qingtian finally felt less hungry. She leaned back in her chair and looked out the window.

At this moment, the moonlight was gradually rising, but the original bright moonlight was covered by a layer of faint black mist, which was exactly the evil spirit that filled Xiao's residence.

Su Qingtian, who just felt relieved, immediately felt a dull pain in her temple.

She felt more and more that Master kicked her back then with a strong sense of revenge.

The Xiao family is a mess, and it will take time to clean it up.

Not long after, Meng Fang, who had gone to grab the medicine, came back, and he went straight to Mr. Xiao and bowed his head and whispered a few words.

The old man's expression didn't change, he just turned his head to look at the granddaughter who was dozing off and stuffing cakes into her mouth, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Yichen, I'll take Qingtian back to her room to rest first, and you take care of Nan'er."

"Yes, Dad."

Mr. Xiao lightly picked up Su Qingtian who was half confused, turned around and walked towards the prepared bedroom.

Following the rhythm of the old man's steps, Su Qingtian fell asleep in a daze.

Although she is powerful, but now she is using the body of a child after all, and she can hold on for a while if she can barely cheer up, and she will fall asleep immediately once she relaxes.

After setting up his granddaughter, Mr. Xiao entered the study with Meng Fang.

The study room is the most rigorous place in the entire Xiao family.

Under normal circumstances, only Mr. Xiao and the people in the army will appear here, and there are quite a few government soldiers standing at the door to ensure the safety of this place.

"how?"

Before Meng Fang could close the door, Mr. Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any news from the capital?"

Meng Fang didn't say much, took out a note from his arms, and held it in front of the old general with both hands.

Back then when the Xiao family was forced to leave the capital, the national teacher framed the Xiao family as a calamity, and the words were very strange. At that time, Mr. Xiao felt that this matter was not a simple slander, so he left many hidden stakes in the capital for investigation.

After he left, some hidden stakes were dug out, and some lost contact.

Fortunately, Meng Fang finally found the few remaining subordinates, but the old man didn't intend to use it at the beginning. After all, the capital city is in danger and it is not a good time to start an investigation.

But the unexpected arrival of his granddaughter today made the old general determined to investigate the matter in Beijing.
