Chapter 267

When Qiaoer came back, Huier was already standing outside the house.

The door of Qiao Nian's room was closed tightly, which made people wonder, "Where is Madam?"

Hui'er responded calmly, "Madam just said she was a little tired and fell asleep."

Hearing this, Qiaoer couldn't help but glance at the door and was very confused, "Is Madam feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to call the doctor to take a look?"

Hui'er frowned and shook her head, "I guess it's because I didn't sleep last night! Don't think too much and let Madam have a good sleep."

Seeing Hui'er's appearance, Qiao'er became suspicious. She could see that Hui'er looked unnatural.

As if she suddenly realized something, she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Did something happen to Madam?"

Hui'er didn't expect Qiao'er to notice it at a glance, her eyes twinkling unconsciously, "No, it's okay, don't think too much about it!"

But Qiao'er didn't believe it, so she just put the sugar water she was holding into Hui'er's hand, then turned around and knocked on the door, "Madam, can I come in, please?"

After the words fell and there was no response, Qiaoer simply pushed the door open and entered.

Qiao Nian was nowhere to be seen in the house.

"Are you crazy!" Qiao'er immediately turned around and shouted to Hui'er who followed him into the house, "Where's Madam?"

Hui'er hurriedly closed the door, put the sugar water aside, and then said to Qiao'er, "Madam has already dressed up as me and left."

"You!" Qiao'er was furious and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Hui'er, "Don't go! We can't catch up anymore!"

Qiao'er pointed at Hui'er's nose and shouted, "If the general finds out, how many brains do you have to vent his anger?"

"So you have to help me!" Hui'er said, taking out a dagger from her arms.

It was actually the one Xiao Heng gave to Qiao Nian just now!

Qiaoer's eyes widened, "You, what are you going to do?"

"You stabbed me, and then you said it was the lady who stabbed me, and then ran away pretending to be me. When you came back, you saw me lying in the house."

As Hui'er said, she put the dagger into Qiao'er's hand, "Whether I survive or not depends on you!"

Qiao'er held the dagger, her hands trembling...

On the other side, Xiao Heng hurried to the woods east of Beijing.

The clues left by the bandits point to this forest!

Almost at the same time, Xiao He and Lin Ye also arrived with their people.

Seeing Xiao Heng, Xiao He couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You are here, what about Nian Nian?"

Isn't there no one to protect Nian Nian?

Xiao Heng glanced at Xiao He lightly, and then said, "Nian Nian is safe in the house. What's more, aren't all your people guarding outside my house?"

Hearing this, Xiao He was stunned, but he didn't expect Xiao Heng to have discovered it long ago.

But then I thought about it, the two brothers had the same goal in protecting Niannian's safety, so that's why Xiao Heng didn't drive his people away!

On the side, Lin Ye couldn't help but said, "Okay! Nuannuan's safety is more important now! You go and look for it over there! I'll go over here!"

With that said, Lin Ye took the lead and led the people into the forest.

Xiao Heng and Xiao He looked at each other before leading the others to separate.

Not long after, I heard a cry from the forest, "Found it!"

The three of them rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

But they saw that Xiao Qingnuan was tied under a tree.

When Xiao Heng and others arrived, the rope on Xiao Qingnuan's body had not yet been untied.

It was seen that Xiao Qingnuan's cheeks were extremely red and swollen, as if someone had slapped him a few times, and his eyes were also flushed, looking very pitiful.

With just one glance, Xiao Heng and Xiao He suddenly clenched their fists.

How dare those bandits treat their sister like this!

Even Lin Ye couldn't help but lower his eyes, with a solemn look on his face.

Xiao Qingnuan is the apple of the Xiao family's eye. Except for a slap from Qiao Nian, who would dare to touch her?

These bandits are really looking for death!

Unexpectedly, after seeing them, Xiao Qingnuan, instead of being happy at all, actually shouted in surprise, "Why are you all here? What about Nian Nian? The bandit's target is Nian Nian!"

There were only two people on the other side. After tying her here, they rushed to find Qiao Nian!

She was just a bait to lure Xiao Heng out of the house outside Beijing!

Listening to what Xiao Qingnuan said, Xiao Heng understood everything in an instant and turned around to leave.

Xiao He was also extremely shocked, turned around, and left quickly while shouting to the people beside him, "Send the young lady back home!"

Lin Ye seemed to have just come back to his senses and hurriedly followed.

The three of them rode their horses and hurried towards Xiao Heng's house outside the capital.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hui'er with an injury on his shoulder.

Seeing Xiao Heng rushing back suddenly, Hui'er was also very surprised and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Qiaoer also knelt down, looking panicked, "General, general..."

Xiao Heng's face was extremely ugly.

After seeing Hui'er's injury, his heart sank completely to the bottom.

But he still concealed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Where are the people?"

Hui'er still spoke harshly, lowered her head and said, "Husband, after the lady hurt the slave, she disguised herself as a slave and ran away."

Qiao'er also followed, "When I came back from bringing sugar water to Madam, I saw Hui'er lying on the ground."

"Bastard!" Xiao Heng raised his foot and kicked Hui'er.

Fearing that someone might die, Xiao He immediately stepped forward to stop Xiao Heng. Looking at the injured Hui'er, his brows knitted tightly, "Nian Nian would never do anything to hurt innocent people. Tell the truth!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye was stunned.

He couldn't help but look at Xiao He, and his heart was torn by an inexplicable feeling of depression.

Why was Xiao He so sure that Qiao Nian would not hurt anyone?

And his first reaction just now was that he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the maid said.

He didn't trust Qiao Nian as much as Xiao He.

Hui'er was kicked to the ground, and the wound on her shoulder kept bleeding. She was shocked. She never thought that she was already injured, but Xiao Heng still didn't believe her.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, a sound of breaking wind was heard.

And then, with a "thump".

A long arrow shot steadily on the gate of the house.

There was also a note on the arrow.

Lin Ye immediately stepped forward and took down the note, and saw that there were only three words on it, "Changyang River."

At that moment, without even thinking, Lin Ye immediately jumped on his horse and headed for Changyang River!

He had seen the note before. When the King of Ming was captured, the bandits used this trick to notify Jingzhao Prefecture.

Nian Nian, was captured by the bandits!

Seeing this, Xiao He also went out immediately.

He was very panicked.

Nian Nian left in the guise of a maid, so neither Xiao Heng's people nor his people recognized her.

But the bandits caught the opportunity!

Xiao Heng glanced coldly at the two sisters kneeling on the ground, and the air pressure around him seemed to be bloodthirsty. "If anything happens to her, you will be buried with her!"
