Chapter 214 - Royal Uncle

Ling Xiao was in the Imperial City, so he had seen everything that happened in the Imperial City very clearly.

Hiding in a dark alley, Ling Xiao quietly watched everything.

Suddenly, an abandoned box fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Ling Xiao turned around and saw a little girl with innocent eyes and a face filled with fear. It turned out that the little girl, in order to not get captured by the Chu army, had hidden herself in an abandoned box in the alley.

"No, don't kill me! I didn't do anything!" As the little girl spoke, tears began to flow down her face.

"Tell me, are the people of Chu bad?" Seeing that, Ling Xiao walked to the front of the little girl and squatted down to ask.

When the little girl saw that Ling Xiao did not look like someone from Chu, and did not make a move on her, she relaxed her guard a little, and then thought of Ling Xiao's question, with a face full of hatred she said: "Bad, they are too bad!"

"You want to get the bad guys out, don't you?" Ling Xiao laughed faintly.

The little girl nodded vigorously.

"Fine, tell me how these people from Chu came in. Brother will help you chase them out." Ling Xiao said with a smile. The smile on his face was so beautiful that it could move a person.

Furthermore, the other party was just a little girl. In her heart, she had imagined that the person she would like in the future would be a graceful Gongzi. This fantasy was about to come true.

Facing Ling Xiao's smile, the little girl did not have any thoughts of resistance, and even involuntarily leaned towards Ling Xiao.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao immediately reached out and hugged her, and said softly: "It's cold here, aren't you running too fast, you didn't even bring your clothes."

When the little girl heard, a warm feeling swept through her heart, and she directly threw herself into Ling Xiao's embrace, greedily smelling the scent of Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was not in a rush, and let the little girl hug him as he pleased.

After a while, the little girl raised her head and told Ling Xiao everything she knew.

After Ling Xiao heard, he raised his eyebrows and said: "You said that when the Chu Army invaded, there was no Soldiers to resist?"

"Yes, my home is outside the Imperial City, and is very close to the city gates, so I could see everything clearly." The little girl said with a serious face. It seemed like she wasn't lying.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao immediately understood. No wonder a dignified Imperial City like him was so easily penetrated, it turned out that there was a hidden fact inside that Ye Lvhongji and his spies did not know about.

There was a traitor within the Imperial City, and he definitely had a lot of power.

"Okay, brother will help you chase away the enemies. Before the enemies leave, you should hide here and take good care of yourself. There's some food here, take it with you, do not let the Soldiers of Chu see it." Ling Xiao nodded, then stood up and gave the food to the little girl.

Seeing this scene, the little girl was unmoved, which made Ling Xiao a little curious.

"Big brother, take me with you. It's so dark and cold here, I'm so scared." The little girl held onto Ling Xiao's leg, and said pitifully.

Ling Xiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded, "As long as you are obedient, brother will take you away."

"That's great! Brother Eldest Brother is so nice, I like you! " The moment the little girl heard it, she jumped with joy and immediately threw herself into Ling Xiao's embrace, fiercely kissing Ling Xiao on the cheek.

Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed and rubbed the little girl's head.

Due to the clamor outside, it was not suitable to move. After this area was cleared, the Soldiers of Chu would leave.

Ling Xiao carried the little girl as he activated his lightness exercise, and silently left the alley.

"Wah!" Brother Eldest Brother is so powerful! The little girl shouted in both excitement and admiration.

"Shh …" Keep it down, or someone else will find out. " Ling Xiao said.

"Yes, yes!" The little girl nodded vigorously.

Ling Xiao decided to not find trouble with the King Chu first, because he wanted to find out who exactly betrayed the entire Qi Dan.

With the little girl leading the way, Ling Xiao went to the manors of a few princes in Imperial City and realized that they were all empty, and seemed to have been imprisoned. Although he had some blood relations with Ye Lvhongji, but they were only distant relatives, and not family, so the King Chu was only imprisoning them, and did not use them to threaten Ye Lvhongji.

In the end, Ling Xiao arrived at the residence of the Great Uncle of the Ye Lvhongji Emperor.

He discovered that the security here was very tight, as if it was still well guarded like before.

Compared to those princes, their treatment was as good as heaven and earth.

It was a pity that they had run into Ling Xiao, as these guards were simply decorations.

He easily carried the little girl over the wall and entered the mansion.

The patrolling guards, the hurried maidservants, and the gardening staff were all the same as usual, as if they were not affected by the war at all.

Ling Xiao knew that he had come to the right place.

Ling Xiao did not spend too much time at the side room. After finding the right direction, he directly rushed to the depths of the mansion, which was the place where Grand Uncle Huang was most likely to appear.

In the hall, the Grand Uncle was sipping some fragrant tea, but his expression was extremely ugly. It seemed that there was something troubling him rather than the tea-water, otherwise, with his temper, he would have definitely poured it all out and lost his temper.

Opposite him was the King Chu, but his face was pale and his body looked very unwell.

"Are you telling the truth?" The Grand Uncle's voice was slightly hoarse.

King Chu said with a serious expression: "Of course it's true, this is not something to joke about."

When Grand Uncle heard this, he immediately became silent. After a long time, his expression became heavy and he said, "This is not something that my nephew can do. He doesn't have the ability to do so."

"Who could it be? Do we have any other enemies in the entire territory?" When the King Chu heard this, he was somewhat angry, because the Grand Uncle's answer simply could not solve the root of the problem.

"This matter also took me by surprise. It must have been done by an outsider, and we are simply unable to control it." Grand Uncle put down his teacup and said with a worried expression.

"This is all nonsense. Hurry up and think of a way to resolve it. Otherwise, we can only wait for our deaths!" King Chu stood up and shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Grand Uncle raised his head with an ugly expression, as if he was about to lose his temper.

At this moment, a lazy voice came from the hall's door.

"If you two have something to say, then please speak nicely. Don't hurt our relationship. The two of you should have a pretty good relationship, right?"

Immediately after, the sound of two bodies falling to the ground rang out. The two guards at the door were killed!
