Chapter 134 Missing Gong Ziling
Gong Chengxi is a well-established general in the current dynasty. In addition to his military achievements in guarding the border when he followed the previous emperor, his loyalty to the Xuanyuan royal family has always been praised. Therefore, in the generation of Xuanyuan Dayu, General Gong can still be regarded as holding the power of military aircraft.
His Royal Highness came to the general's mansion. Although it was unexpected to him, it was also reasonable. Therefore, Gong Chengxi did not panic at all and led the whole family to stand at the door of the house to greet them.
"General Gong is too polite. I just passed by the general's mansion and wanted to come in and sit down. Why should I disturb so many people? Xuanyuan Huaijin said so, but in fact, he deliberately asked people to reveal in advance that he wanted to visit the general's mansion in person, in order to let Gong Chengxi gather everyone together. Taking this opportunity, his eyes quickly glanced at these people in Gong's house, looking for people who might have sent out a pillar of light that day.
"His Royal Highness is here. How can he be a minister? Snacks have been prepared in the hall, and His Royal Highness the Prince is invited to sit in the main hall. Gong Chengxi is an excellent general, but his literary talent is not very good, and his words are quite direct. For this reason, he has offended some literary ministers. But Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan Huaijin both know that he is straightforward and will try their best to protect him where they can protect him.
"The general's family was shocked by me. Huaijin is really sorry." After sweeping around and not seeing any possible candidates, Xuanyuan Huaijin began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong. General Gong's family doesn't seem to have the person he is looking for. Is it in the servant?
He began to think about what kind of excuse to use to see all the servants in the house.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Some women and Taoist families can come out to see the prince, or is it their blessing? Gong Chengxi said carelessly, but the wives and concubines next to him looked at Xuanyuan Huaijin with some fear for fear that he would blame him.
That's what Xuanyuan Huaijin happened to see in the crowd. Gong Chengxi's wife didn't seem to look well, so she asked, "Madam's face is not very good, but what's wrong?"
The docile woman didn't expect Xuanyuan Huaijin to suddenly ask, but she didn't know how to answer for a moment. On the contrary, Gong Chengxi was straightforward and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that my little son doesn't know where to hide in the past two days, so my wife is so worried.
"I don't know what happened to the little prince, so he suddenly disappeared." Xuanyuan Huaijin's heart moved, but he saw that everyone's faces were a little wrong. He hurriedly added, "If necessary, I may be able to help find it. It's always good to have more people.
He has been saying his words for a long time, but the people present are looking at me. I look at you. No one has said anything, but made Xuanyuan Huaijin's suspicion deeper. He was sure that the pillar of light must have something to do with the disappeared little boy Gongfu.
"Actually, it's nothing. But the concubine scolded him a few days ago, and he ran out. The general's wife finally said, "It's just a child, and my concubine is also afraid of something wrong, so she is so worried."
Gong Chengxi grabbed his head and said, "Yes, yes, that's it. Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll send more people to look for it immediately.
Lies! Gong Chengxi's body is full of flaws, and Gong Fu's women's expressions are different, and they seem to have ghosts in their hearts.
It's just that there is no need to expose this level immediately. After all, Xuanyuan Huaijin is not completely sure that the little boy is one of the seven stars. At the same time, he also understands that some people with extraordinary powers are heinous in the eyes of mortals. Naturally, it is reasonable that General Gong does not want anyone to know that his son will emit a pillar of light.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Huaijin just nodded and walked to the main hall. If he doesn't leave, it's not a good idea for this large group of people to stand at the gate all the time.
After sitting down and eating some snacks and chatting casually, Xuanyuan Huaijin focused on the seven-star pillar of light. He pretended to be inadvertent and said, "General Gong, I heard that a few days ago, there was a beam of light in the general's mansion. I don't know if it's really the case?"
When Gong Chengxi heard this, the tea cup in his hand almost fell down and asked nervously, "I don't know why His Royal Highness asked this?"
"Oh, that's it. When I went to the guardian of the country to pray for my father, I heard him mention the pillar of light. The mage said that the people in this pillar of light are those who are helpful to my great cause, and let my father and I be good at it.
"So, is this a good thing?" The general's wife, who was accompanying her, asked excitedly.
"Naturally, what the mage said, naturally there will be no fake. It's just that this person is not easy to find. I don't know if the general and his wife can provide me with some information.
"This..." The general's wife was embarrassed.
Gong Chengxi couldn't hold back his words and said directly, "Since His Royal Highness has said so, it's not a bad thing. The person who sent out the pillar of light in the house that day was my youngest son Gong Ziling. It's just that this boy doesn't know why he disappeared from my house the next day. He hasn't found any trace today.
Is Gong Ziling missing?
"The general knows whether the prince was lost or someone..." Xuanyuan Huaijin was determined to break the casserole and ask to the end. After all, if Gong Ziling is really one of the seven stars, it is related to the lifeline of Xuanyuan Day.
"It is reasonable that the general's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for outsiders to break in and catch Ziling. However, there is no reason for him to leave by himself!"
Although the general's wife's words are reasonable, Xuanyuan Huaijin doesn't agree with it. After all, the garrison of the general's mansion can only guard against ordinary people. It is actually extremely easy for practitioners like Xuanyuan Huaijin to come and go quietly in the general's mansion.
If someone really captured Gong Ziling, what purpose can the other party have? The only purpose is to kill the seven stars. As long as the seven stars can't successfully get together, the fate of Xuanyuan Day is still in danger.
"I am clear about this matter. Please rest assured, General and Madam. When I go back, I will tell my father truthfully and ask him to send more people to find the little son as soon as possible." The news has arrived, and it is useless to leave more. Xuanyuan Huaijin is ready to leave.
Gong Chengxi still gathered a large group of people to send Xuanyuan Huaijin back.
And just after Xuanyuan Huaijin left, the general's wife's face changed into a cold and dull look, and entered the secret room alone. There, a three-year-old boy is welcoming her with a calm expression.
"Mom, they don't have any doubts, do they?" The boy Gong Ziling looked at the scroll in his hand, looking confident.
The general's wife did not answer, but just stood quietly aside. Her eyes were dull, as if her soul had been taken away.
"This woman's qualifications are too poor after all, and it is not a long-term solution. It's just that this body is too small at present. If you want to get out of here and be self-reliable, you have to find a way. Gong Ziling clenched his little fist and was very dissatisfied with his child's body. "Early awakening is not good, but..."
He looked in the direction of Xuanyuan Palace, and the general lady standing beside him unconsciously shook her body, as if she felt something terrible.
When Xuanyuan Huaijin just returned to the Hefeng Courtyard, the attendant reported that the Empress Ning Fei had summoned him. Concubine Ning looked for him at this jux, just for Xiao Yong to stay with Xuanyuan Huaisheng. Gong Ziling didn't find it. He already had a little uneasy foreboding in his heart. At this time, he was not willing to make trouble again, so he could only go to Ningfei to explain it in person.
It's just that he just walked out of his yard, and it was Tao Qingqing who bumped into him.
"What's wrong with Master Tao?" Tao Qingqing has been avoiding contact with Xuanyuan Huaijin since the day she entered the Hefeng Courtyard, and Xuanyuan Huaijin also pretended not to care about Tao Qingqing's existence, but he didn't expect that she could take the initiative to come to her today.
"Do not say secret words in front of bright people. What do you mean by arranging that man? Tao Qingqing was slightly angry. She can't care about anything. Only when it comes to Xuanyuan Huaisheng's words, she has to come forward to ask.
Xuanyuan Huaijin didn't understand Tao Qingqing's behavior. As far as he knows, Tao Qingqing did not express any objection about Xiao Yong's stay by Xuanyuan Huaisheng's side.
"I know you won't hurt her. I just want to understand the reason. At the same time, it is also to prevent that one day in the future, when I have a conflict with him..." Although the words are only ordinary, Tao Qingqing knows that Xuanyuan Huaijin will understand her meaning.
"Are you threatening me?" Xuanyuan Huaijin's face sank in an instant.
"If your interests and I don't conflict, how can we threaten? Does His Royal Highness already know that our future path will be the opposite? Others may be afraid of his anger, but Tao Qingqing doesn't pay attention to him.
What is the purpose of Tao Qingqing? In the past, Xuanyuan Huaijin would not have had a second idea, because Tao Qingqing at that time would definitely protect Xuanyuan Huaisheng wholeheartedly.
It's just now...
Xuanyuan Huaijin found that when Tao Qingqing looked at Xuanyuan Huaisheng, his eyes always showed something unclear. This kind of uncertain emotion made Xuanyuan Huaijin secretly wary of her. Although he didn't have much feelings for Xuanyuan Huaisheng, he would never let Xuanyuan Huaisheng suffer any harm for the lifeline of the Xuanyuan Dynasty and to protect Xuanyuan Day.
"You can think of him as an entourage ordered to protect the princess." The more he guessed, the more irritable he became. Xuanyuan Huaijin decided to put aside the inexplicable uneasiness in his mind and decide the next way after he had cleared his mind.
"I hope so." Tao Qingqing turned around and wanted to leave, and then turned around and said, "We won't become enemies!"
"As long as you don't fight against me." Xuanyuan Huaijin said in a low voice, and then turned his head and walked to Ningfei's yard.
