Chapter 12 The Xiao family is a mess

"Meng Fang." Mr. Xiao called, "Follow Dr. Sun to get the medicine."

"Yes, General!"

Meng Fang is the man in green shirt who has been following the old general. He is nearly forty years old, mature and prudent, and has always been a more trustworthy subordinate of the old general Xiao.

After Dr. Sun and the two left, the Xiao family father and son, Su Qingtian and Xiao Nan were left sleeping in the house.

While the adults were talking, Su Qingtian had been playing with the human-shaped wooden sign in her hand. When she saw the outsiders leaving, the little girl jumped off the armchair and walked to Mr. Xiao.

He grabbed the old man's clothes with his little hand, stood on tiptoes and handed the wooden sign in his hand to the other person.

She asked curiously, "Grandpa, there seems to be something carved on it. Can you help me see what it is?"

Hearing his granddaughter's call, Mr. Xiao turned back from staring at his grandson. Knowing that he had ignored the little girl, he quickly squatted down and took the wooden sign.

Reaching out and touching the little girl's head, Mr. Xiao carefully looked at the front and back of the wooden plaque by candlelight. He rubbed the back with his fingers and found that something was indeed engraved on it, which seemed to be broken words.

The wooden plaque had been burned by fire before it fell, and there was a layer of black carbon ash on it. The old man wiped away the black ash with his hands, and the seal-engraved handwriting gradually emerged.

As the font became clearer, Mr. Xiao's eyes burst out with strong murderous intent. The fingers holding the wooden sign gradually tightened, and the wood creaked in an instant, almost breaking into his hands.

Xiao Yichen on the side noticed something was wrong with his father's expression, and his expression became serious.

He pushed the wheelchair to his father's side and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Mr. Xiao didn't say a word, but handed the wooden sign with the erased writing to his younger son.

Xiao Yichen took it and looked down, only to see Xiao Nan's name and his birth date clearly engraved on this dark and damaged human-shaped wooden sign.

Xiao Yichen instantly became angry and said through gritted teeth, "Who is so cruel!"

"Even if you have a grudge against our Xiao family, how can you not even let go of a little baby!"

His face was gloomy, his eyes fell on the wooden sign in his hand for a moment, then he looked up at Mr. Xiao and said, "Dad, leave this matter to me."

The Xiao family was not alone at first, but now the eldest brother is in a coma, the second brother and the third brother are missing one after another. Now he is the only one in the Xiao family who can take care of his elderly father's worries.

Although he is already half-disabled, fortunately his mind is not confused yet, and all the soldiers and generals in the family obey the orders of this young master.

Mr. Xiao thought for a moment and slowly nodded in agreement.

Fengcheng looks calm and calm on the outside, but only he, the head of the family, knows how dangerous it is secretly.

Before he moved his family to Fengcheng, several forces here were already entangled, but fortunately he was a general who fought with soldiers.

If he were a civil servant, he would have been eaten up by that group of people, and not even his bones would be left.

Now he needs to devote himself wholeheartedly to the big game of Fengcheng and make a steady layout. If he makes a wrong move in this important pass and fortress, someone with intentions will open the gap.

By then, not to mention whether the people in Fengcheng can live a stable life, I am afraid that even the entire country of Mexico will be in danger.

"Find out as soon as possible and don't give the person behind it a chance to escape."

Rough and strong hands squeezed his younger son's shoulder, and Mr. Xiao conveyed his feelings towards the man behind the incident.

"Gu Gu Gu~~"

A moderate sound of hunger interrupted the conversation between the father and son. The two looked around and saw the little girl lowering her head, covering her belly with both hands and rubbing it slowly.

The little mouth was still muttering something. When Mr. Xiao came closer to listen, he seemed to be coaxing himself.

"Xiao Qingtian is hungry? My uncle has some pastries here, do you want to eat them?"

Although it was the first time he met this niece, Xiao Yichen immediately fell in love with how she looked like her sister.

The pear dimples at the corners of the little girl's mouth every time she smiles are exactly the same as those of her elder sister.

Xiao Yichen's eyes were full of doting. Seeing the little head nodding constantly, he immediately ordered his servants to bring in the pastries prepared for dinner.

Su Qingtian looked at the plates of pastries with bright eyes.

She licked the corners of her mouth, picked up a piece without politeness and stuffed it into her mouth.

Spiritual power is scarce in this world. Once you use your own spiritual power, you need a lot of food supplies to restore it. That's why she gave the yellow talisman to Mr. Xiao before and let him do it.

But who would have thought that a smart black mist spider would appear. Under the emergency situation, she had no choice but to use her spiritual power to shoot a dagger to kill the evil spirit.

Even though it was only this one blow, it still made her hungry, her chest pressed against her back, and she was very sad.

When Mr. Xiao saw the little baby eating cakes, he thought that he had not served her well at the dinner just now, so he quickly sat next to Su Qingtian and poured her tea and water.

With her mouth full of sweets, Su Qingtian was finally not so hungry anymore. She leaned back in her chair and looked out the window.

At this time, the moonlight was gradually rising, but the originally bright moonlight was covered by a layer of faint black mist. This was the evil spirit that filled the Xiao Mansion.

Su Qingtian, who had just felt relieved, immediately felt a dull pain in her temples.

She felt more and more that the master's kick at that time definitely had a strong desire for revenge.

The Xiao family is a mess and it will take time to slowly clean it up.

Not long after, Meng Fang, who had gone to grab the medicine, came back. He walked straight to Mr. Xiao, lowered his head and whispered a few words.

The old man's expression did not change, he just turned to look at his granddaughter who was dozing off and stuffing cakes into her mouth, and couldn't help but shake her head.

"Yi Chen, I'll send Qingtian back to her room to rest first, and you can take care of Nan'er."

"Yes, Dad."

Mr. Xiao gently picked up the half-confused Su Qingtian, turned around and walked towards the prepared bedroom.

Following the rhythm of the old man's steps, Su Qingtian fell asleep in a daze.

Although her soul is powerful, she is using the body of a child after all. She can still hold on for a while if she barely cheers up, but she will fall asleep as soon as she relaxes.

After settling his granddaughter, Mr. Xiao took Meng Fang into the study together.

The study room is the most intimate place in the entire Xiao family.

Under normal circumstances, only Mr. Xiao and people from the army will appear here, and there are also many soldiers standing at the door to ensure the safety of the place.

"how?"

Before Meng Fang could close the door, Mr. Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any news from the capital?"

Meng Fang didn't say much. He took out a piece of paper from his arms and held it in front of the old general.

When the Xiao family was forced to leave the capital, the state master's false accusation that the Xiao family was a disaster star was very strange. At that time, Mr. Xiao felt that this matter was not a simple slander, so he left many hidden dangers in the capital for investigation.

After I left, some hidden piles were dug out, and contact with others was lost.

Fortunately, Meng Fang finally found a few remaining men, but the old man did not plan to use them at first. After all, it was not a good time to start an investigation now that the capital was surrounded by crises.

But the unexpected arrival of his granddaughter today made the old general determined to investigate the matter in Beijing.
