Chapter 2329: Chapter 2329: Descending from the Sky
War Prince’s Mansion.
Due to the strange incident, the atmosphere in the entire mansion was very somber.
At dusk, Long Rui and Long Yi were not in the mansion, Xuexue was having dinner in the hall.
Just after she placed down her chopsticks and bowl and took a sip of her soup, suddenly, with a loud bang, a large hole was blasted through the center of the roof, dust falling down swiftly.
The bowl of soup in Xuexue’s hands instantly turned into a bowl of dust as she looked up...
She saw a strong man with an odd appearance descend from the sky, landing lightly in front of her. Xuexue was startled, putting down the bowl in her hand, and stood up cautiously, questioning the strong man, "How dare you! Who are you? How dare you intrude into the War Prince’s Mansion?"
Zi Xia also drew her worn sword from her waist, her whole body on guard.
The man seemed to be in his thirties, his face unclear due to a large beard, his eyes were bright and piercing. His attire was very peculiar, unlike people from Moli Country. A big man, yet wearing big earrings on his ears, looked quite out of place.
The man did not speak, his eyes fixed intently on Xuexue...
Zi Xia stepped in front of Xuexue, pointing her sword at him, shouting angrily, "Speak! Who exactly are you to dare intrude into our War Prince’s Mansion."
The man did not look at Zi Xia, glaring straight at Xuexue behind her and said, "You must be Miss Situ!"
"So what if I am? Who exactly are you?" Xuexue pushed Zi Xia aside.
Just as the sky darkened, the man dared to intrude, evidently either his martial arts were formidable or his status was substantial.
"The Emperor summons you."
With that said, he waved his hand, and a puff of white smoke flew out from his palm.
Since they were so close, Xuexue and Zi Xia did not expect such a move from him, their vision turned black, and they knew nothing more.
The guards in the mansion quickly hurried over upon hearing the commotion, but they were still a step too late, only a few unconscious maids were left in the hall, and the Princess Consort had disappeared.
The center of the hall’s roof had a big hole, clearly showing signs of a recent attack.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and chase!"
The steward was quite flustered, if the Princess Consort were abducted from the mansion, the Prince would surely skin them alive upon his return.
"Yes."
Instantly, the entire War Prince’s Mansion fell into chaos as everyone rushed out to pursue, but outside it was pitch dark, and nothing could be seen. Helplessly, they had to carry lanterns and search everywhere.
Long Rui heard the news from outside and hurried back.
Zi Xia, upon waking, saw Long Rui anxiously watching her: "Zi Xia, you finally woke up? Where is the Princess Consort?"
"The Princess Consort?" Zi Xia’s expression was first bewildered; then slowly, she recalled the previous events and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Miss... Miss has been taken away."
Long Rui hurriedly asked, "By whom? Who did it?"
"I don’t know, I don’t recognize that person."
"What exactly happened?"
Zi Xia then recounted the dinner scene in the hall to Long Rui in full detail.
Long Rui was extremely anxious, dispatching all the guards of the War Prince’s Mansion to search for Xuexue, but amidst the vast sea of people, finding someone was easier said than done.
At this moment, the Weirdo also returned to report that he had found the Fourth Prince and Lin Kong in the mountains outside the city.
However, at this moment, Long Yue was solely focused on finding Xuexue, having no mind for anything else, merely sending some underlings to investigate the outskirts, with predictable results—certainly coming up empty-handed.
