Xiao Ting left Gu's mansion and rushed all the way to Jiangnan Wang's mansion.
She was very silent, and Ah Da mechanically followed her, looking up from time to time, then lowering her head again.
They didn't go through the main door, but walked through the side door. Xiao Ting was just about to knock on the door, but it opened just as her hands touched it.
Ah Da stepped forward immediately, protecting Xiao Ting behind her, and then slowly opened the door.
There were two corpses in sight, the blood was still flowing from the necks, the people were not completely dead, but they were unable to speak.
"Princess, be careful."
They rushed to the residence quickly, quiet, very quiet.
That means that these people who broke in have not done anything yet.
Who are they targeting
"Do you know where the fifth son lives? Or the eldest son?"
Ah Da nodded, and Xiao Ting ordered, "You go and inform them, I'll go and have a look first."
Since the thieves didn't rush in with great fanfare, they were still afraid of Jiangnan Palace.
Ah Da disagreed, "The concubine will go with the subordinates." He knew that the master was capable of getting into trouble, so he didn't dare to let her out of sight.
"What are you afraid of? This is in the palace, and I'm not from their Jiangnan palace. Naturally, they didn't come after me. Besides, the clothes I'm wearing look like servants. No one makes things difficult for me."
Xiao Ting waved to him, and decided to go to her courtyard openly.
By the way, look at the excitement.
But what she didn't expect was that when she got to her residence, she heard swords and swords.
Meow, is this aimed at her
Because she is a guest, the place where she lives is far away from the host's house, and it is also very secluded.
At this time, many people fell down inside and outside the courtyard, but for some reason, no one came over.
And those inside are just servants, who don't know much kung fu at all, and this group of people rushed in directly with their knives in hand.
Suddenly, a maid ran out from under Xiao Ting's nose, holding food in her hand.
Just about to go inside.
Xiao Ting quickly grabbed her because she recognized the maid beside Concubine Chu Tian.
"Ah..." the little maid exclaimed.
"Shut up, it's me." Xiao Ting covered her mouth, pulled her aside after making sure she wouldn't shout, and asked, "What are you doing here? Where's your girl?"
"Yes, it's in your house!"
"Ah?" Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, "Hurry up to find the prince, and say that there are thieves in the house, go quickly."
Others don't necessarily pay attention to what Ah Da said. Now that the girls in the mansion are in trouble, they should come here immediately.
But the servant girl was startled first, "But the prince is not in the mansion."
"What about the fifth son?"
"Not here either."
"Where did you go?"
"Earlier, the prince was ill, and the masters all went to the prince's side."
This Jiangnan Prince's Mansion is very large, divided into two courtyards, half of which are Jiangnan-style buildings, where the younger generations live, and the other half restores the style of the imperial city, and is the residence of the Jiangnan King.
On weekdays, there are walks on both sides, separated by an arched gate, but at night, the two mansions will close three gates, and only the master can pass through with a sign.
Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion in the past two years, the gate of Jiangnan Wang's residence was also sealed, and he entered and exited from the new garden at one rate.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded after hearing this, "That doesn't mean that there is no master in the house right now."
At this time, Ah Da also found her, "No one was found."
There was not much movement inside, and it was impossible to disturb more people, but they had a clear goal and came for Xiao Ting.
Ah Dabian suggested that they hide first. After all, he brought very few people, so it is not appropriate to confront these people head-on.
Xiao Ting didn't want to let them go, she wanted to see, she just arrived in Jiangnan, who couldn't wait to kill her
"Go and prepare..."
Xiao Ting whispered in their ears for a while.
Chu Tiankuo and the fifth son sent the doctor away, and were about to say a few more words when they heard a report from outside.
"Master, there is water in the yard..."
Thick smoke billowed straight into Yunxiao, causing chaos in the mansion in an instant.
All the guards were mobilized, and the maid was even coaxed to run around.
When the fifth son saw Xiao Ting, she was still holding a torch in her hand, with an excited expression on her face.
Talking to a man.
At first glance, that person is not from the mansion.
"Aunt Nine Kings, why are you here?" Shizi stepped forward first, looking at the half-burned viewing platform, and then at the torch in her hand, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
The Fifth Young Master was more straightforward, "You set the fire?"
Seeing them coming, Xiao Ting greeted them, "Why did you come so slowly, if Li Mo hadn't come to help, these people would have run away."
Fifth Young Master and Chu Tiankuo were at a loss, only then did they realize that there were several corpses lying in front of them, all of them were wearing night clothes and covered their faces.
"How is this going?"
Xiao Ting threw away the torch, and said: "They came to kill me, I found out, you are not here, they wanted to escape, but fortunately Li Mo arrived in time, so the thieves were not let go."
What, what does this mean
Chu Tiankuo looked at the fifth son, but found that his younger brother was also confused.
Li Mo stepped forward to pay respects, "I have met the prince, the fifth son."
"Ada, it's up to you!"
Ah Da had no choice but to step forward and explain for the master.
Now everyone understood, and then, Xiao Ting found out that someone was coming to kill her, and the people she led couldn't beat them, so she decided to startle the snake and let them go.
Ada was guarding them, and they were able to catch a few. In the end, they were lucky, Li Mo just arrived, and everyone was caught.
And their so-called scare the snake, is to set fire to their viewing platform.
Chu Tiankuo didn't know what to say.
Li Mo also felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't have a place to speak here, so he looked at Xiao Ting and said, "Didn't the princess go back to Li City? Why are you here?"
Everyone knew what he meant. This was to remind his concubine that she saved the fifth son of the Jiangnan Palace, that is, the savior, and it was no big deal to just burn their viewing platform.
After all, he is not the master, so naturally he can't make amends for the Ninth Concubine, so he has to mention something.
Naturally, Chu Tiankuo would not talk to Xiao Ting because of this matter, not to mention that if Xiao Ting had an accident in their mansion, he would not be able to explain it to the Ninth Prince.
"I'm waiting for Mother Feng."
The fifth son squinted at Li Mo with his eyes, what does this kid not know
"Miss Six is missing..."
The sound of weeping and crying came, and Xiao Ting saw the little maid as soon as she turned around.
"Didn't you say your girl is inside?"
There was also a reason why Xiao Ting set the fire just now, she hoped that these people would leave quickly, if she wrongly hurt Concubine Chu Tian, it would be her fault.
"That's right, but the slaves have searched all over the place, but they didn't find the girl..."
Not even a dead body, but she dared not say.
Now everyone was anxious and ran in to find Concubine Chu Tian.
Sure enough, I searched the house from front to back, but there was no one there.
At this moment, someone rushed to report, "My lord, the princess has been taken away."
Chu Tiankuo asked immediately, what's going on
They and Chu Tianping went to visit Jiangnan King together, and they hurried back when they heard that the courtyard was on fire.
And warned her not to walk around and go back to the house quickly.
At the same time, someone came to report that Miss Six's yard was also in a mess, and there were many casualties.
For a moment, the entire palace was in panic.
As Chu Tiankuo is the eldest son of Jiangnan Prince's Mansion, the only living thing is naturally left to him, and Li Mo leads people to protect Xiao Ting.
There were people coming and going all night, and there was no peace.
Xiao Ting naturally didn't sleep well, she wanted to go to see Concubine Chu Tian together, but was stopped by her.
Well, she needs protection too.
But who are those people here to kill
Why did something happen to Chu Tianping
Unable to fall asleep, he tossed and turned on the bed. He wanted to ask Li Mo for a question, but now he lost his mind.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Ting managed to yawn and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly heard movement under the bed.
With a clever move, she turned over and got up from the side.
"who?"
The bed board was shaking violently, Xiao Ting's sound stopped the movement inside.
"Li Mo..."
Xiao Ting quickly stepped back, calling for someone.
The door was knocked open, Li Mo was the first to protect her behind, "Princess, what happened?"
"There is movement under the bed."
Xiao Ting pointed over there.
Li Mo waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately went over and opened the bed, only to find that there was a gusset under the bed, and the bottom was hollow.
Without much trouble, they opened the gusset, revealing a hole in the ground.
The two went down, and after a short wait, they heard a voice answering, "It's a girl."
"girl?"
When Xiao Ting heard this, she was no longer afraid, and moved forward, but Li Mo stopped her with a serious face.
When the two men brought the girl up, Xiao Ting was dumbfounded.
"Auntie... woo woo woo..."
It was Concubine Chu Tian who threw off the man's hand and threw herself into Xiao Ting's arms.
"Okay, it's all right. Why did you run down there?"
Xiao Ting was not very good at comforting others, so she patted her on the back.
When Chu Tianfei calmed down, Chu Tiankuo and the fifth son had already rushed over.
Concubine Chu Tian was a little embarrassed, and then she talked about what happened.
After Xiao Ting sent A Da back to her, she felt uneasy, fearing that something would happen to Xiao Ting, so she had to come here and wait for her.
Instruct the personal servant girl to get some food, so that she can wait while eating.
But waiting and waiting, when she was bored, she looked at the window and found a black shadow flashing past.
She was scared, so she hid in the temporary place on the bed, trying to see what happened.
Those people didn't seem to want to make too much noise, they released the smoke, and Concubine Chu Tian lay on her mouth, and rolled directly into the cellar after smoking the smoke.
She was also so happy that someone outside found out and started a mess, so she didn't alarm those people.
She was fascinated for a long time, and when she woke up, she wanted to come up to have a look. The movement Xiao Ting heard just now was Concubine Chu Tian pushing the buckle.
After talking here, the trial of the only survivor of the man in black over there has also made progress.
The targets of these people were actually two girls from the Chu family.
"Those people are just killers, and they don't know who the main family is."
When Xiao Ting heard this, her eyes widened, and she thought it was nothing wrong with her!
For a while, the room fell into silence.
The eldest son Chu Tiankuo got up and said goodbye to Xiao Ting, "I have troubled you."
Xiao Ting waved her hand, signaling him to go to work.
Concubine Chu Tian was also called away by her brother, so naturally she had to focus on protection.
