Chapter 260 Lost 1 game
Oops, I wasn't paying attention to the chess game, so I lost! Chu Qingmeng smiled, "Sister, I love the feeling of being in control of the overall situation... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you're just trying to shake a tree, overestimating your own abilities. Fei Ling, go see if there's anything wrong with the two young masters."
Fei Ling left in response. Chu Qingmeng played the tune calmly and started another round with Shuang Cheng.
Qin An and his three companions were also guarding the door of their master's house. Although their martial arts skills were not as high as Wen Zhong and his companions, they were only slightly lower. It was still very easy for them to deal with some assassins. What's more, there were the secret guards of the palace. With Qian Ningwei rushing in the front, they were not in a hurry.
Well, there’s no rush.
But, it happened that Xiao Mingwei was crying so hard today that Li's attention was all on her, and she didn't notice that Ze Xun was the only one left sitting at the desk in the room.
Finally sneaking out, Ze? breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what was wrong with his mother today. She insisted on locking him and his brother in the house and not allowing them to go out to play. His brother was busy reviewing the homework assigned by the teacher and had no time to pay attention to him. After he finished the homework assigned by the teacher, he was very bored.
After finally sneaking to the edge of the pond, a figure flashed and covered Ze's mouth and took him away.
In the main courtyard, Chu Qingmeng was still sighing in the pavilion about how good it felt to be in power, but soon she couldn't laugh anymore.
"Third cousin's music is truly beautiful." A man in blue clothes stood on the roof, holding a child in his arms. "Third cousin's music is truly cunning. If it weren't for the fact that all my men were killed by Eleven, I really wouldn't want to do it myself!"
Chu Qingmeng didn't know who he was yet, and was still confused when Wen Zhong whispered, "Master Jiu, it's Old Ten."
The mad dog is coming. Chu Qingmeng sighed. What's the point of him coming? Can he walk out of this yard? Before she could speak, Lao Shi let go of Ze's mouth, "Woo woo woo, grandma! Woo woo! I'm scared! It's so high! Grandma, save me! This man is so fierce! Woo woo woo..."
Hearing Ze's voice, Chu Qingmeng panicked. How did Ze fall into his hands?! But he still pretended to be calm, "Tenth Prince, please speak frankly. What do you want?"
"Hahaha, what do you want?! I know that sick scholar beside you is an expert with hidden weapons. You'd better keep an eye on him and don't let him move, otherwise this kid will die with me." Old Ten watched Chu Qingmeng raise his hand to stop Shuang Cheng's movements before speaking again, "Don't Third Cousin know exactly what I want?"
"Okay. It's just this life, I'll give it to you. Put down my grandson and you come to take it." As he said this, he groped his way towards the yard.
"Hahaha, Third Cousin, I know those guys are very skilled in martial arts and I can't deal with them, but you have to keep an eye on them and don't move, otherwise I can't guarantee that the child's neck will be fine." After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the people around him to go down and take Chu Qingmeng away.
"Don't move." Chu Qingmeng just said this and let Lao Shi's men take her away.
The four members of the Qi family exchanged glances and immediately stood up to follow, with Feiying following shortly thereafter. Chunhe hurried to Mo Jiangqing's yard to report the news.
Old Ten's men ran with her, but she didn't care. After all, they couldn't escape the search on the fifth floor. After running for an unknown amount of time, Old Ten panted and cursed, "Damn it! Are these people born in the year of the dog? They're chasing us so relentlessly!"
Chu Qingmeng chuckled, "Old Ten, your skills are far inferior to Old Eight's."
"Hmph, Third Cousin, you should just focus on yourself!" Chu Qingmeng couldn't see, only hearing a bang—something exploded, and then she fainted. The tenth elder and his men also took advantage of the smoke and fled, leaving Kui Wenzhong and his men unable to catch up. Frowning, the four of them split up and returned to the fifth floor, ordering a search for Chu Qingmeng and the tenth elder.
The mansion was in an uproar at this time. After Mo Jiangqing heard Chunhe's report, he felt so angry that his blood rushed to his heart and he almost fainted. He hurriedly asked someone to call Mo Jiangche over, and the two of them discussed a solution together.
Two hours later, Chu Qingmeng woke up, a furry little head in her arms. She shook her head and slowly sat up. The little thing in her arms noticed that Chu Qingmeng had woken up, and a sobbing voice reached her ears, "Grandma, wuwuwu..."
"Don't be afraid, son. Grandma is here." Chu Qingmeng took the child into her arms, feeling somewhat reassured. As long as she was locked up with the child, she wouldn't be so restrained. She comforted him softly for a while, and when the child's sobs subsided, she asked, "Son, tell Grandma, are we in an ordinary house or a place with iron bars?"
"Grandma...is a shabby house." Although Mo Ze was scared, he was six years old after all and still had the ability to express himself.
"Okay, Grandma got it." She patted him on the back and told him not to be afraid. She mentally calculated what they were going to do next. There were only a few routes, not many.
Without any trace of the group, Feiying could only return to the mansion and go to the eldest son's courtyard. He told him that he hadn't been able to keep up, and that Wen Zhong and his men had already returned to the fifth floor to investigate their master's whereabouts. The two brothers were also extremely anxious. They had already sent out the Qianji Pavilion's personnel, but so far, more than two hours had passed, and there was still no news.
After discovering Ze-yi was missing, Li immediately launched a mansion-wide search. Eventually, after being informed of the entire situation, she fainted from anxiety. Mo Jiangqing, furious, blamed her for not watching over the child, despite repeated warnings. Seeing her faint, he couldn't bring himself to blame her any further. He instructed the manor physician to look after her, and he and Jiang Che went off to await further news.
