Chapter 431 - 229: Losing the Lady and the Troops?
Chapter 431: Chapter 229: Losing the Lady and the Troops?Jiang Mo had been missing for two days.
It was on the second day that Ran Qingchen discovered that the other party was not there, and after asking Xia He, they learned that the man had not accompanied them to the lantern festival.
In other words, Jiang Mo had not returned for an entire night.
The bathing tub in the room was still there, obviously having been used for a bath the previous night.
At first, everyone thought that Jiang Mo had gone out on an errand, but after waiting another day, there was still no trace of him.
Ran Qingchen went to ask Li Nanshuang, who also said they hadn’t seen him.
Now everyone started to feel uneasy.
How could a person in good health just suddenly disappear?
Given Jiang Mo’s character, even if he was going out on an errand, he would have given advance notice.
"No need to guess, this young man definitely has someone on the side,"

Because Jiang Mo had a conflict with Murong Nan at the Famous Sword Villa; this is a well-known matter. Murong suspected that his son’s death was related to Jiang Mo.
But this morning, we found Murong’s corpse, and not far from it was Jiang Mo’s Liushan Division Identity Token...
So no matter what, the murderer is related to Jiang Mo."
Ran Qingchen clenched the Token tightly, her hand’s veins bulging, her mind in turmoil.

But the Murong Family was not to be taken lightly, let alone the fact that Murong Shuo was an imperial officer of the court, and just because the Murong Family possessed the iron-blooded edict given by the emperor at the founding of Dazhou, which underscored their family’s special status,
