C700

700 Hostage, this is just the beginning

Patriarch Qi did not stay for long, nor did he let anyone inspect the scene. Carrying Qi Lianshan's corpse, he left without looking back, and just as he said, he handed everything over to Feng Qi.

Feng Qi had a lot of pressure, but she didn't refuse.

Therefore, Feng Qi did not reject and generously thanked him.

After Xiao Jiu'an left the scene, she did not immediately return to the city, but instead went to the main camp.

It was the New Year's Eve, and there were many red lanterns hanging in the camp, exuding the scent of the New Year.

When Xiao Jiu'an reached the camp, it was already dawn. Other than the patrolling soldiers, everyone else was still asleep.

"Your Highness." When the guard saw Xiao Jiu'an appear, he was shocked.

It was the new year and the generals of the military had all gone home to celebrate the new year.

"Get the butler." Xiao Jiu'an dismounted, threw the reins to the little soldier at the side and quickly went back to the camp.

On the way, there were patrolling soldiers who saw Xiao Jiu'an, and were about to step forward and bow, but they saw that Xiao Jiu'an had already walked far away.

The butler came quickly, and practically the moment Xiao Jiu'an sat down, the butler came. Her clothes were neat and tidy, her hair was combed meticulously, and she seemed to be brimming with energy. He didn't seem like someone who had just woken up at all.

"Your Highness." The butler came forward and bowed respectfully to Xiao Jiu'an, showing no sign of being disturbed or disturbed by Xiao Jiu'an's sudden summons.

Xiao Jiu'an did not look at the butler and leaned back in her chair. She closed her eyes and said, "The Qi Family's Young Master died outside the city, under the unique weapon of Yanbei Army."

"What?" Even the usually calm steward was shocked when he heard this news. "The Qi family's Young Master? It actually attacked the Qi Family's Young Master … " The most important thing to do was to frame Yanbei Army. Was the person behind this going to overturn the heavens?

"Check the people in the Yanbei Army." Xiao Jiu'an was sure that it was not the Yanbei Army who did it, but she didn't dare guarantee that it had nothing to do with the people inside.

He knew perfectly well how complex human nature was. He couldn't guarantee that everyone in Yanbei Army would be loyal to him, and even more so, he couldn't guarantee that at this moment, no one would betray him.

There was no such thing as eternal loyalty in this world. The only thing that existed was the lack of bargaining chips.

"Your servant understands. Your Highness, please be at ease. Your servant will definitely give Your Highness an explanation as soon as possible." The most important thing was to give the Qi family an explanation.

They weren't afraid of the Qi family, but they were afraid of a madman who had lost his son and heir, no matter how strong he was.

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an nodded her head in satisfaction, her eyes still not opening, her hands lightly tapped on the armrest on both sides, "Go inform Little Doctor Zhuge, tell him to pack up and go to the Qi Family."

The head of the Qi family was extremely excited. He might collapse from grief, but it was necessary to send a doctor to stay with the Qi family.

At the very least, he didn't want a chaotic Qi Clan. That wouldn't do him any good.

"Your Highness, Doctor Zhuge, he …" The butler looked troubled, and worriedly at Xiao Jiu'an.

Sending the Little Doctor Zhuge to the Qi Family at this time was a bit of a hostage. What if the Qi Family Head went crazy or the Qi Family members went crazy and killed the Little Doctor Zhuge?

Little Doctor Zhuge was a member of the Medicine Sect, if something were to happen to them, they wouldn't be able to explain it to the people from the Medicine Sect.

"Let Fei Xiaolei go together. With Sky Doctor Valley Valley, no one will dare to move against them." If the hostage was given to Patriarch Qi, he would probably be satisfied.

Of course, the most important thing was that he was very satisfied that he didn't harass Fei Xiaolou.

Furthermore, with the secret guard here, let alone protecting the Little Doctor Zhuge's retreat, at the very least, it would be able to save his life.

"Send people to protect Feng Qi and Xiao Shaorong in secret. This King does not want anything to happen to them again." Xiao Jiu'an felt that Qi Lianshan's death was not simple, it might even be the prelude to it.

If the person behind this was really the Emperor, then he definitely wouldn't stop after killing Qi Lianshan. He would very likely kill all of the Young Master s of the Four Great Clans.

Of course, the premise was that the emperor had the ability to do so.

"Yes, Your Highness." This time, the steward was very straightforward, not hesitating in the slightest.

Xiao Jiu'an was not the only one thinking this. When the Xiao Family Lord heard that Qi Lianshan had been killed and that she had framed the Yanbei Army, she immediately concluded that this matter was not simple.

"Shao Rong, from today onwards, you must bring along your guards when you go out. Other than that, no matter what happens, you must definitely not go out on your own, and even more importantly, you must not meet any random person. It would be best if you don't meet them easily, at least not during this period of time. " The Xiao Family Lord had always been decisive and energetic. Seeing him take the lead to throw herself at Xiao Jiu'an, one could tell that he was not a peaceful person.

However, on this matter, the Xiao Family Lord was the most prudent and safest to deal with.

The heirs to aristocratic families had all been carefully nurtured since young. If they died, it would undoubtedly cause heavy damage to the family. The impact would be incalculable, and it was even possible that the next generation would fall apart.

This concerned the matters of the successors, the Xiao Family Lord did not dare to not pay attention.

"Father, I know, but this matter concerns the Yanbei Army, so I must return to the military camp." Xiao Shaorong's face was solemn, there was worry between her brows.

The Xiao Family Lord originally wanted to reject, but after thinking about the fact that the Xiao Family was not necessarily safer than the Yanbei Army, and she did not know when this matter would end, Xiao Shaorong could not stay in the Xiao Family and not go out.

At this time, the city gate still had not been lifted, it was still extremely difficult to exit the city, but when Xiao Shaorong left the city, there was no one to stop him …
