Chapter 741: Several People Sent Out but Didn’t Return
The hourglass on the table is ticking little by little.
There is also a sundial in the courtyard.
Although the weather is bad today and the light is dim, the faint line on the sundial is slowly moving.
Near noon, someone finally came in to report...
However, it was not one of the more than 50 people sent out yesterday, but the person sent by Jiang Fang and Tong Lian to Yunxiang Mountain to gather information this morning.
No matter who comes back, as long as he comes back from Yunxiang Mountain, it’s fine!
Xiao Jingyi just wanted to know what the situation was like on Yunxiang Mountain now?
It's already this late in the day, and among those fifty-plus people... why hasn't any one come back to report?
Even if... even if something unexpected happened, it can't be... it can't be that no one comes back!
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian walked in quickly with two people in ordinary clothes.
When they got closer, the four of them stepped forward and saluted.
Xiao Jingyi waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, forget it, let's get down to business!"
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian signaled the two men to come forward and answer.
The two men stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, we two have just returned from Yunxiang Mountain."
"Tell me! What happened there?"
Xiao Jingyi couldn't wait any longer and asked.
The two looked at each other and one of them answered.
"Your Majesty, everything is normal on Yunxiang Mountain!"
"Everything is as usual?"
Xiao Jingyi’s eyes widened instantly, as if he had heard something extremely horrifying!
"My Lord, everything is as usual!
The monks in Qingguo Temple were chanting sutras as usual;
The people from the Anguo Mansion were also chanting and praying in the main hall of Qingguo Temple;
The pilgrims who came to Qingguo Temple to burn incense went up and down the mountain just as usual.
In short, there is no change on Yunxiang Mountain!"
"what?"
Xiao Jingyi didn't think much of it when he heard the monks in Qingguo Temple chanting sutras as usual;
When I heard that everyone in the Anguo Mansion was also in the main hall chanting sutras and praying with the monks...
Xiao Jingyi only felt that his vision suddenly went dark, and a string in his brain "clicked"... and broke!
"Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Are you okay, my lord?"
"Your Majesty, take care!"
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian saw that Xiao Jingyi was a little unsteady in his sitting position and his body was shaking, so they hurried forward to support him on the left and right.
Xiao Jingyi closed his eyes, managed to calm himself down, then opened them, stared at the two people opposite him and asked, "You...you saw the people from the Anguo Mansion, but did you see...did you see Miss Leng?"
One of the men on the opposite side nodded and replied, “The subordinates saw it!
Miss Leng is also in the main hall, with the Anguo family!"
"How could this be?!"
At this moment, Xiao Jingyu felt as if someone had stuffed tens of thousands of wasps into his head, buzzing non-stop.
There were flashes of gold in front of my eyes and my throat felt sweet, as if blood would spurt out at any time!
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian were helpless looking at Xiao Jingyi's appearance at this time.
Persuade, how to persuade?
What can they say?
Say it doesn’t matter?
There is a huge relationship involved!
Say it doesn’t matter?
This matter might turn out to be fatal!
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian looked at each other from time to time, both with fear and anxiety in their eyes.
After a long while, Xiao Jingyi looked up at the two people in front of him and asked, "Have you two looked carefully everywhere on the mountain?
Are there any signs of fighting on the mountain?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads, "No!"
“Is there a bloody smell?”
Xiao Jingyi asked again.
The two still shook their heads, "No!
The only scent on the mountain is the sandalwood scent coming from Qingguo Temple!"
"waste!
waste!
Get out of here, my king!"
Xiao Jingyi didn't want to see these two people in front of him anymore, so he drove them out directly.
If you stay in such an atmosphere for a long time, even the hairs on your body will feel tired... because you have to stand all the time!
The two didn't want to stay any longer.
Since the master told them to get out, they immediately obeyed and rolled smoothly, and they were sure to roll far away!
If you don't roll, you'll be hammered!
The two people rolled away in the blink of an eye... no, they disappeared!
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian were the only ones left in the hall accompanying Xiao Jingyi.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian also want to leave... no... they also want to leave here.
The hall was so depressing that they almost couldn't breathe.
No one knew how much time had passed, but Jiang Fang and Tong Lian just stood there watching Xiao Jingyi, who was sitting there in a daze, until their legs became stiff from standing.
Finally, Xiao Jingyi moved...
"Think about this for me, what happened on Yunxiang Mountain last night?
The people in the Anguo Mansion are fine;
That Miss Leng is still on Yunxiang Mountain with the people from the Anguo Mansion. We did not take her to my Chengbi Villa as planned.
What happened at Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain?"
Xiao Jingyi clenched his fists and pounded them hard on the table beside him.
Jiang Fang and Tong Lian looked at each other, then at their own masters...
What happened on Yunxiang Mountain last night?
In the end what happened?
Ask them...they don't know either!
But... since the master has asked, they can't just pretend to be deaf and dumb and not answer.
Jiang Fang thought for a moment, then said, "My Lord, I have also been thinking about this...
We sent more than fifty people... and none of them came back... This is definitely not an ordinary matter!"
“Do you even need to tell me that?
I just want to know what exactly is that 'unusual' thing you're talking about?"
