Chapter 279 Raising troops to investigate crimes
The sound of falling out alerted the people guarding and patrolling outside. Although Gao Haozheng did not find Xiao Qingqing this time and could not convict him, he also arranged for people to investigate nearby.
"There is movement over there in the cave, go and have a look!"
The guard's voice came from outside the cave.
Xiao Qingqing had just stood up while holding on to the wall. She felt that her legs were weak and her body was still swaying. Then she heard the sound of guards arriving from outside. She was shocked and wanted to enter the space for shelter, but her energy no longer allowed her to do so. Act like that.
As the footsteps approached, Xiao Qingqing panicked and could only look around for a place to hide.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and Xiao Qingqing was shocked. She was relieved when she saw that the person coming was Feng Yi.
Feng Yi stared in the direction of the cave entrance and whispered: "Princess, I'm offended."
Feeling her waist tighten, Xiao Qingqing followed the wind and left the cave.
When the guards came to where Xiao Qingqing was just now, they had already left. The guards who found no clues thought they had heard wrongly and had to leave and continue patrolling.
Xiao Qingqing successfully escaped with the help of Feng Yi and returned to the camp without anyone noticing. Feng Molin was wiping the sword in his hand, his face was ashen, and his eyes were a little sharper.
When he heard the movement at the door, Xiao Qingqing returned, her expression softened, she dropped her sword and strode forward.
Seeing that she was weak, Feng Molin felt a little nervous and immediately picked her up.
Xiao Qingqing was frightened, but she still hugged his neck tightly.
"Did she get hurt?" Feng Molin knew that she had to pay the price for escaping danger this time.
Hearing that he was the first to ask about his safety instead of questioning, his eyebrows softened: "Don't you doubt me, Your Majesty?"
She could see clearly in the space. Feng Molin picked up the pearl hairpin she dropped, and was thankful that he was the first to find it.
"This king believes in you." Feng Molin looked serious.
Although there are only four simple words, it is enough.
"I'm fine. It's just that the situation was urgent, so I went to space to hide for a while." Xiao Qingqing didn't hide it. Feng Molin also knew about the space matter, so there was no need to hide it.
Seeing her current weak body, Feng Molin's face darkened. He should have thought of this.
Just when he was about to put Xiao Qingqing on the bed to rest, Xiao Qingqing refused: "I want to take a bath first."
Xiao Qingqing felt sick when she thought about Zuo Zhen touching herself.
When Feng Molin heard this, he immediately arranged for someone to bring hot water.
Separated by a screen, Feng Molin sat upright on a chair. Even though he listened to the sound of water flowing, he still maintained a gentlemanly attitude. Xiao Qingqing felt relieved about this and took a bath with peace of mind.
The hot water surrounded her soothed her worries and fatigue all day long, and she felt that she had recovered a lot. Xiao Qingqing talked about what happened today and asked Feng Molin for his opinion.
Feng Molin told what happened to him today.
"The seventh prince's intention is really obvious, this matter must also be his handiwork!" Xiao Qingqing heard this, her eyes were focused with a little anger.
If she hadn't woken up early, if she hadn't had enough space, today would have been exactly what Gao Haozheng wanted.
Xiao Qingqing got out of the tub, put on her clothes and had a plan in mind.
"Feng Qi!" As soon as Xiao Qingqing came out from behind the screen, she called Feng Qi, handed her a porcelain bottle and whispered a few instructions. Feng Qi took it and glanced at Feng Molin. Feng Molin handed Xiao Qingqing a cup of hot tea without stopping, and Feng Qi quickly left.
"Look, he is yours after all. Although he is following me, I still have to ask for your opinion when you are here." Feng Qi's actions caught Xiao Qingqing's eyes, and she couldn't help but start joking.
"When Feng Qi comes back, I will reprimand you for you." Feng Molin had no choice but to obey her words.
Xiao Qingqing was not that stingy person. She sat down opposite Feng Molin and continued to talk about what happened today.
In a tent near the middle of the camp, Gao Haozheng opened the tent curtain with anger and strode in, slamming his hand on the table.
Today, he finally had an opportunity to make a meritorious service, but he failed without thinking, and ended up being called useless. When he thought of his father's reprimand to him, Gao Haozheng's eyes were scarlet.
"Why did Duan Duan disappear when he entered the cave alone? Didn't I ask you to stare at the entrance of the cave from outside?" Gao Haozheng sat down, looked at several of his men following him, and scolded him angrily.
The three men looked at each other and collectively knelt on the ground, lowering their heads.
The subordinate on the far left had to speak first: "Back to Your Highness, the subordinates really watched the entrance of the cave, but no one came in or out."
"No one came in or out, why did that person disappear?" Gao Haozheng asked.
One of the men in the middle responded sarcastically: "Is there a ghost?"
Only ghosts can be so invisible.
Gao Haozheng glared angrily. At first he believed in ghosts, but after testing Xiao Qingqing several times, he no longer believed it.
"I am incompetent but I am talking about ghosts. Do you think what happened today is not embarrassing enough?" Gao Haozheng was scolding. The more he looked at the people, the more uncomfortable he became. He waved them away directly.
At this time, the servants also brought food for the evening.
Early the next morning, Gao Mingxuan had just woken up. The hunting events in the past few days had made him upset, and his energy was not as good as the previous two days. Then he heard the guard at the door reporting that Zuo Zhen had arrived.
After Gao Mingxuan finished dressing, he met Zuo Zhen.
Before he could speak, Zuo Zhen stood in the middle and did not salute. Instead, he asked angrily with a displeased look on his face: "Your Majesty, I came to participate in the hunting. It is to give your country face, and also to see your country's elegance. But your country is so generous." What is it about my southern border? Assassination? Scheme? Is this the sincerity of your country?"
"Prince Zuo Zhen misunderstood." Gao Mingxuan immediately smoothed things over and signaled Zuo Zhen to calm down.
"Misunderstanding? I don't think this is a misunderstanding! If Your Majesty can't give me an explanation today, he means he intends to start a war with our Southern Territory! Even though our Southern Territory is a small country, we are not afraid of it!" Zuo Zhen did not give Gao Mingxuan any face. , the sound is shocking.
Sato also came in at this time, and after hearing Zuo Zhen's words, he saluted Gao Mingxuan: "Your Majesty, I also think that we in the south need to be given an explanation for this matter!"
This time, Sato stood on Zuo Zhen's side with a firm attitude.
This statement is not only a matter of personal attitude, but also represents the country.
Faced with the two men's aggressive approach, Gao Mingxuan showed a pale look on his face and hesitated slightly. If the two countries really went to war, there would be heavy casualties. Faced with internal and external troubles, this was not what he wanted to see.
Just when Gao Mingxuan was about to respond to the two of them, a scream suddenly sounded not far away.
Gao Mingxuan's eyebrows were furrowed, one wave after another. His face was ashen and he called Eunuch Sun: "Go and find out what happened."
Looking at the two princes from the south, Gao Mingxuan motioned for them to take a break, but Zuo Zhen looked disdainful.
