The concubine is always arrogant: the evil and charming prince is difficult to tame

Chapter 433 The Jade Broken

Qi Ranran looked at the two people in front of her in horror, trying to struggle out, but received Xiao Jiu'er's calm eyes, although she was puzzled, she stopped struggling.

The two men in black glanced at each other, said nothing, summoned up their internal strength, and led them away quickly.

Xiao Jiu'er could only feel the north wind blowing in his ears, and after about a quarter of an hour, his feet touched the ground.

"Princess forgive me!"

Two low-pitched male voices came quickly, and immediately after, the two of them knelt down, lowered their heads, not daring to look into Xiao Jiu'er's eyes.

Qi Ranran's eyes widened and her mouth widened. She stared in astonishment at the two people who were dressed in rags, had straw on their heads, and blood on their arms. They didn't know how to react for a while.

He could only shift his gaze to Xiao Jiu'er, one must know that the princess had not been rumored to leave the capital, how did these two people know?

Xiao Jiu'er was also full of doubts, but she didn't express it on her face like Qi Ranran did. Instead, she approached the two men. Qi Ranran took a quick step forward, looked at the two men in front of her vigilantly, and followed quickly. Xiao Jiu'er made eye contact.

Xiao Jiu'er shook his head, and said slowly: "Are you my father's people?"

"Yes!" The two men raised their heads quickly and met Xiao Jiu'er's eyes.

The two had already pulled off their facecloths, and when they took a sudden look, Xiao Jiu'er and Qi Ranran gasped at the same time. What kind of faces did they have? Not to mention the wounds all over their faces, many places had started Inflammation and pus.

"Princess forgive me!" The two men seemed to understand something, and quickly lowered their heads, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

Xiao Jiu'er frowned slightly, and said slowly; "This is not a place to talk, follow me." Then, he stood on tiptoe and rushed out quickly.

Xiao Jiu'er came to a town not far away, where the Xiao family's twelve eagles were on standby. Although it was not far from the city wall, the impact of the war was not too great.

In the room, under Xiao Jiu'er's gaze, the two could only sit down by Xiao Jiu'er, but they were embarrassed and didn't know where to put their hands.

Xiao Jiu'er poured two cups of tea, ordered Qi Ranran to prepare meals, and said slowly; "Eat and drink enough, and after cleaning up your wounds, tell me about Daddy."

"Why is the princess so sure that we belong to General Xiao?" The older man was full of doubts.

Xiao Jiu'er raised the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "If I guess correctly, you should be Vice General Chen, and the one next to you is your only son, Chen Lan."

Vice General Chen looked at Xiao Jiu'er in surprise.

"Daddy once gave me a portrait of his confidant. I have already remembered it in my heart, so how could I not know him?" Xiao Jiu'er sighed helplessly, looking at the appearance of the two of them, he feared that he had escaped death.

"Princess! It's not good for me to protect the general!" Deputy General Chen knelt down with a "plop", his face full of grief and indignation, and his lips tightly pressed together.

Chen Lan on the side lowered her eyes, a trace of pity and sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Xiao Jiu'er personally helped Vice General Chen up, and said slowly: "Eat first." Having said that, Qi Ranran brought the food and put the change of clothes aside, "After packing, I will find you next door. I."

After speaking, he took out a few more bottles of golden sore medicine from his bosom, and then left with Qi Ranran.

Deputy General Chen and Chen Lan looked at each other, both of them had a faint light in their eyes.

"Father, this concubine is not simple." She is not afraid in the face of danger, which woman has such courage!

Chen Lan pursed her lips, and said slowly; "Father, I don't believe that General Xiao died like this. Tell the princess everything, maybe she can find clues."

Deputy General Chen nodded heavily, and put down his hand holding the chopsticks, but he had no appetite at all.

The same was true for Chen Lan, but the two still ate a steamed bun, washed up, and then came to the next room.

"Come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Jiu'er straightened up. Although he was anxious about Xiao Shan's affairs, he suppressed the impatience in his heart when he saw the two of them, "Vice General Chen, tell me about the time situation."

Deputy General Chen sighed slowly, and said slowly; "It was the same war as usual, the enemy army came, and General Xiao led us to go out to fight. I followed General Xiao closely, but I couldn't guard against it, and was separated. But the little boy, Chen Lan, has been guarding General Xiao Shan's side, never leaving."

As he spoke, Vice General Chen looked at Chen Lan, Chen Lan pursed his lips, frowned into a Sichuan shape, and then said: "The visitors are aggressive, many people have entangled General Xiao, and the local leaders fought with General Xiao Time……"

Speaking of this, Chen Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, and her face was full of pain: "Although I was fighting with another general, I have been paying attention to General Xiao's situation. I clearly saw that it was Li Ming who came from behind. He attacked General Xiao in a sneak attack, so that General Xiao fell off the cliff, and his life and death are unknown!"

In one sentence, Xiao Jiu'er's heart skipped a beat, Li Ming...

Xiao Jiu'er tightly clenched his hands on the table into fists, raised his head to meet Chen Lan's eyes, and said word by word: "Who is Li Ming?"

"It's the general who used to guard the border." Vice General Chen answered, "He's also King Kang's confidant."

Xiao Jiu'er showed a clear look: "The people drinking and laughing inside today must be Kang Wang's people."

"That's right." Deputy General Chen nodded, and said slowly, "General Xiao fell off a cliff. Our people tried their best to search for it, but they couldn't find any clues. But unexpectedly, the people from King Kang's side stopped us from looking for it." Clues, plus the child told what happened on the battlefield."

Xiao Jiu'er looked at the situation of the Chen family father and son, and already guessed something; "There was a war between your two factions, but you lost, only the two of you escaped, and Daddy's army was wiped out. ,right?"

"Yes." Deputy General Chen sighed heavily, "Mr. Li Ming avenged his personal revenge and sent all our troops out to fight, but they were eating, drinking and having fun in the city, not caring about the war at all!"

"Every time General Xiao proposes a strategic plan, they deny it, otherwise, how could it take so long!" Chen Lan said coldly, her eyes were full of anger.

Xiao Jiu'er roughly understood, and said slowly; "Today you guys rest early, tomorrow we will go to the place where Dad fell off the cliff."

She would never believe that Xiao Shan died like this!

Deputy General Chen moved his lips a few times, thought for a while, and left.

"Father, why didn't you tell the princess that we have searched for that place many times but there is no clue?" Chen Lan frowned slightly, he didn't want to do any more useless work.

Deputy General Chen sighed: "Let the princess go and have a look, General Xiao, I'm afraid it's..."

In the room, Xiao Jiu'er took out a purse from his sleeve. Inside was the jade pendant that Xiao Shan gave to him before he left. When he opened the purse, Xiao Jiu'er was stunned when he saw what was inside.

Qi Ranran, on the other hand, was pale and said tremblingly, "Miss, Jade, it's broken!"
