Chapter 278 Xiao Canghai is missing

Xiao Qingqing took a look at the quality of the jade pendant. It was indeed good. The person in front of her was the prince of the southern region, so she had to give him face, so she handed him a skewer of freshly roasted meat.

"For the sake of the jade pendant, I'll let you eat it." Xiao Qingqing took the jade pendant and couldn't help but chuckle. This child is a child.

Zoe's eyes lit up when she saw the meat skewers, and she immediately took it and sat next to Sato to take a bite. She was instantly conquered by the delicious food.

This was the first time he knew meat could be grilled so well, and even so delicious.

Zoe quickly removed the meat skewers and put them into her belly. However, the meat skewers only contained a little bit of meat. How could she satisfy the glutton in her stomach? She stared at Xiao Qingqing's grilled meat and started quickly.

"I just gave you such a good jade pendant, so you should eat a few more skewers." Zoe said.

Xiao Qingqing looked a little helpless, but she didn't mean to stop him.

"Does it taste good compared to what you make?" Seeing how happily he was eating, Xiao Qingqing spoke at the right time.

Zoe was stunned, coughed slightly and said nonchalantly: "That's it, just ordinary."

Seeing that he had a tough mouth but an honest body, he took another skewer and ate it. Xiao Qingqing flipped the meat skewers and joked: "It turns out that my grilled meat is so ordinary, but with such a big piece of meat, it seems that you eat the most." .”

Xiao Qingqing did not forget to tell Zoe to take a look at the wooden sticks placed in front of her.

When she was exposed, Zoe blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

The next day, after a dispute yesterday that prevented the hunt from continuing, the hunt was held early today. Everyone gathered in the preparation field. At this time, Gao Mingxuan announced that he would appear in yellow uniform, full of majesty.

When all the civil and military officials saw him, they hurriedly knelt down and paid homage.

"Today's hunting, everyone should cheer up and don't be affected by yesterday's events. I will also set an example today and go hunting with you all. The one who comes out on top today will be heavily rewarded." Gao Mingxuan stood on the high platform and said from Eunuch Sun picked up the bow in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the courtiers in the audience shouted long live.

Gao Hao was watching this scene and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and dissuade him: "Father, as a king, how can you hunt by yourself? The hunting ground is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may be hurt. I am worried about my father's dragon body."

As soon as these words came out, many ministers discussed and mentioned Zoe's injury yesterday.

Gao Mingxuan looked unhappy and waved his hand to stop him: "Because of what happened yesterday, I have to hunt in person. I want to see how bold these rebellious officials and traitors are!"

"Since my father is determined, why not let King Beihuang accompany him? The prince is very skilled in martial arts. Only when the prince is by his side can my sons and ministers feel at ease." Gao Haozheng put his eyes on Feng Molin and suggested.

Feng Molin frowned slightly, with a cold expression on his face, but did not express any opinion.

Faced with this proposal, Gao Mingxuan also agreed and asked Feng Molin for his opinion.

"I am determined to protect your majesty." In front of everyone, Feng Molin could only agree.

When everything was ready, Gao Mingxuan got on his horse first, gave the starting order, and galloped away first.

Feng Molin saw this and followed closely.

Behind them, all the ministers got on their horses and headed towards the hunting ground. Both men and women were hunting, and many noble daughters were also in military uniforms. They hunted in twos and threes outside the hunting ground. Some ladies or younger ladies who did not want to kill stayed there to rest and talk.

Xiao Qingqing didn't want to talk to these women, so she took Feng Qi and a group of hunting ladies to hunt outside the hunting ground.

Xiao Qingqing was not too interested in hunting. Basically, she and Feng Qi wandered around in the woods, picking herbs when they saw them, and Feng Qi accompanied them.

Xiao Muchi, who was also hunting, was full of disdain after noticing Xiao Qingqing's behavior and continued talking to other noble ladies. At this time, a servant hurriedly came and saluted her. Seeing that it was a servant of the Xiao family, Xiao Muchi, who noticed something was wrong, walked aside and motioned for the servant to speak.

"The second lady is in trouble, the master has been kidnapped." The servant said anxiously, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Mushi frowned: "Do you know who did it?"

The servant shook his head.

This matter is not trivial, so Xiao Muchi immediately ordered: "Take someone to find it and report it as soon as you have any news."

"Yes!" The servant hurriedly went to do it.

After hearing the news, Xiao Muchi was in a dilemma. He caught a glimpse of Xiao Qingqing not far away and walked over.

Xiao Qingqing was taking a fancy to a medicinal herb and was about to pick it, when suddenly a figure stood in front of her, and her face suddenly showed displeasure.

Feng Qi watched the visitor warily.

Xiao Qingqing raised her head and saw Xiao Musi, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes: "Is something wrong?"

"Sister, I just got the news that my father was captured while hunting and is in critical condition. Please come with me to check out the situation and find my father." Xiao Muchi said bluntly.

As soon as the hunt started, the person was captured? There was a hint of suspicion in Xiao Qingqing's eyes, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Muchi, and then decisively refused.

Maybe all this is Xiao Muchi's conspiracy.

Xiao Mushi was a little surprised at Xiao Qingqing's rejection, and her words were a little more anxious: "Xiao Qingqing, what do you mean? Even if you are dissatisfied with your father, he is still your father after all. Now he is missing. Sorry, as a daughter, you are so heartless, it is too cold!"

"That's your father too. Since he's missing, then go look for him. What's the point of looking for me? I don't know where he is." Xiao Qingqing snorted coldly and walked around to see what Xiao Muchi had just seen. of an herb.

"Xiao Qingqing! If anything happens to my father, I won't let you go!" Seeing that she was unmoved, Xiao Muchi got angry and strode away without saying a word.

After putting away the herbs, Xiao Qingqing stared at Xiao Muchi's leaving figure, seeing that her attitude just now didn't look like she was lying. Could this be true?

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingqing stopped picking herbs and said to Feng Qi: "Let's follow."

Following Xiao Muchi to the camp, they saw Xiao Muchi gathering people and setting off to find Xiao Canghai.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingqing became even more sure that the matter was true, and followed behind with Feng Qi.

As soon as they entered a forest, the surroundings were eerily quiet. Xiao Mushi, who was looking for someone in front of him, was swaying around and disappearing. Xiao Qingqing was murmuring in her heart, but she still looked around for the whereabouts of Xiao Canghai.

"Princess be careful!"

Suddenly, a voice came from beside her, and Feng Qi quickly stood in front of Xiao Qingqing, only to see a wisp of smoke coming from nowhere.

Feng Qi pushed Xiao Qingqing away, but because she had no time to react, she inhaled the poisonous smoke and felt a sense of powerlessness. Feng Qi half-knelt on the ground and looked in the direction of Xiao Qingqing.

"Princess, run!"

After the words fell, Feng Qi couldn't resist the drug attack and passed out.

Xiao Qingqing, who realized something was wrong, had no time to stop Feng Qi from running away. Suddenly, a black figure appeared and blocked her way. Before she could react, a hand knife hit her neck hard. Xiao Qingqing's eyes went dark and she fainted. .
