<h4>Chapter 306 – Missing</h4>
Bang! Thud! Thunk!
Kyaa!
Screams and some other sounds reverberated around the area. The people were all trying to get away and some of them trampled on others. It was unknown how many people would have died just from this alone.
Even if they didn''t die, there were at least hundreds of them who were wounded due to the push and pull from the crowd.
Long Qian Xing looked at the area filled with dust as his heart skipped a beat. He couldn''t sense it perfectly, but looking at the people who fainted near the end of the smoke, he could guess that it was poison.
Who in the world use poison here?
"Over here!"
Drap! Drap! Drap!
The soldiers rushed over to the area while covering their mouth. Long Qian Xing was leading the group as he tried to sense around. Aside from some people who fainted around the area, there was nobody else.
"Search the area!"
*cough*
Long Qian Xing turned around and saw Nan Luo stood there. Looking at the how he was rushing over and could only cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve frantically, Long Qian Xing felt his heart dropped.
"What are you doing here?"
"Hua''er is also missing!" Nan Luo growled. He walked to the fainted people, trying to find Nan Hua.
Hua''er is missing?
Long Qian Xing felt that there was a thunder in the clear day when he heard that. He waved his hand. "Check the fainted people here."
"Yes!"
The dust and smoke slowly dissipated, but it clearly showed that there was no one in the middle. There were only some unfortunate people at the edge of the smoke.
"Young Commander Long, there''s a maidservant here!"
"Wake her up!"
"Yes!"
p! Thunk!
Long Qian Xing could sense that the poison in this area was nothing more than knockout medicine or something like that. In any case, it would not harm them in the slightest bit but making them wake up after having so much of the poison entering their body would be extremely difficult.
Bang!
Chi Song Lian also arrived with the soldiers. His expression turned grim. "Some of the maidservants are missing."
"How many?" Long Qian Xing asked back.
"So far, we only found 8 whoe with us. There are 4 who are missing plus Her Highness." Chi Song Lian resisted the urge to curse under his breath. His father was busy checking the people there and also the carriage while General Feng locked down the area in order to make sure that no one could escape.
If this was just a prank from the princess, it was already crossing the line.
"Add this one." Long Qian Xing pointed to the one who fainted. He looked to another soldier. "Look for a doctor. If there''s any nearby, they might be able to wake them up."
"Chi Song Lian!"
"Father."
"The Princess is dressing up as a maidservant." General Chi threw a dress to the ground. It was precisely the dress that Princess Yue had worn before she entered the carriage in order to move to another inn. "One of the maidservant is found sleeping in her room."
"Two more are missing."
"Is Princess the one who use this poison?" Chi Song Lian furrowed his eyebrows. He felt that it was unlikely for Princess Yue to be able to get her hand on something like this poison. Not to mention, the amount alone was more than enough to kill people if they were to inhale more than what their body could handle.
"Unlikely."
Chi Song Lian looked at his father then at the young brat who was checking on the fainted people. The boy looked incredibly frustrated. "What are you doing here?"
"I''m searching for my sister." Nan Luo looked at Chi Song Lian in annoyance, but he still replied.
"Your sister?"
"First Young Miss Nan," Long Qian Xing was the one who replied. "It seems that themotion Her Highness caused had already implicated other people nearby."
"…Why is she out here?" General Chi could already feel a headacheing when he thought of Great General Nan. That general would surely rush over if he heard that something happened to his granddaughter.
Not to mention, the one responsible for this incident would surely be him.
After all, Princess Yue was still under him for today. Long Qian Xing and General Feng were still preparing for the ''transfer of duties.'' They might get some punishmentter because of their failure to react in time but most of the mes would fall on him.
General Chi really wished to drag Princess Yue over and asked her why she didn''t do her escape tomorrow so that the one who were med wouldn''t be him?
"General Chi!"
"General Feng, what''s wrong?" General Chi frowned when he saw General Chiing over.
General Feng, Feng Qian Shao, originally didn''t want toe here because he was still checking the people. However, his sone to him while dragging two women. And it was not ordinary women either.
"I found two maidservants hiding in a different inn. They hadn''t finished changing their dress, yet." Feng Qian Shao motioned for the two maidservants to step forward. The two maidservants looked pale, but they have no other choice but to walk.
General Chi was speechless. "How did you find them?"
"My son saw them entering the inn and reported to me." Feng Qian Shao looked at Feng Ao Kuai who was trailing behind.
Sensing his father''s gaze, Feng Ao Kuai straightened his body. "I got separated from my brother and cousins. When I realize it, I''m already at the end of the line and noticed that the two of them rushed into an inn, so I followed. I find it weird that they book a room there when the others are trying hard to rescue Princess Yue from inside the carriage."
It was a lie.
But neither one of them could notice it except for Feng Qian Shao who knew his son well.
