C306 - Missing
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!"
Slap! 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 who come 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."
