Qiao Zhao knew that he was speechless, and in the face of everyone's surprised eyes, he raised his eyes to look at Chi Can, and asked fixedly, "When will you return to the capital?"

The three of them were silent for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the end, it is a little girl, and when she encounters such a tragic event, she still wants to go home quickly. Zhu Yan thought.

Yang Er was thinking: The little girl interjected indiscriminately, Shixi should be even more angry, right?

Ji Chan was really angry.

This girl kept saying that she respected Mr. Qiao, but she was indifferent in the face of the destruction of the Qiao family, and only wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Qiao Zhao withdrew his gaze.

As for the disgust of others, she was in no mood to deal with it.

"It turned out that several distinguished guests were from the capital, and they were rude, rude. The village chief personally refilled the tea for the four of them, breaking the subtle awkward atmosphere.

Qiao Zhao was immersed in his thoughts.

According to the time calculation, the news of her death has not yet reached here, her in-laws' family is in the capital, and their grandfather's family is also in the capital. When the big brother leaves here, the most likely place to go is undoubtedly there.

But there was such a misfortune in the family, why didn't the eldest brother stay in the apricot forest to keep filial piety, but left in a hurry?

Qiao Zhao faintly felt strange, but the huge grief pressed on her heart made it difficult for her to think deeply, so there was only one thought left: Go back to the capital, you must find your eldest brother!

Qiao Zhao didn't listen to what the others said again, until Chi Can stood up and said lightly: "We have to rush back to Jiafeng City, so we don't need to eat." ”

She followed the three of them out in a daze.

Chi Can led the horse, and his eyes swept over with displeasure: "What are you grinding, if you don't hurry up, you can stay here." ”

Remain?

Qiao Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

If she could, she wanted to stay more than anyone else, this is her home!

"Do you really want to stay?" Ji Can raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more impatient.

Qiao Zhao shook his head, took a step forward, and Chong Chi Chan stretched out his hand.

Ji Can unceremoniously grabbed her wrist and lifted her directly onto the horse.

The wind was fierce, like a knife cutting on Qiao Zhao's face, and at the same time cutting in her heart.

The spring wind turned out to be so cold.

Thinking like this, Qiao Zhao turned back one last time and took a deep look at the village that had been left behind.

At that time, the sunset was full of sky, and the apricot grove that had been cut off from all ugliness and beauty was one, and only the quiet and tranquility of the village remained.

The smoke rose, and everything was as if it had been before, and only the girl who had ridden away knew what she had lost.

When the smoke and dust from the horse's hooves completely dissipated, a figure flashed through the corner of the apricot grove and left the place as well.

Qiao Zhao and his entourage rushed to the city when the city gate was closed, and chose a good inn in the city to stay.

When the gates were slowly closed, someone hurried in.

"The city gate has been closed, I want to enter the city early tomorrow!" said the guard impatiently.

The man pulled a token from his bosom and shook it in front of the guards.

The guard immediately changed color and stammered, "It turned out to be ...... It's ......"

"What the hell, don't open the door yet!"

"Yes!" the guard hurriedly opened the city gate, and when the man was far away, he dared to raise his hand and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, who is that?" the subordinate leaned over.

The guards glanced left and right before they whispered out three terrifying words: "Brocade Scales!"

The brocade guard with ordinary eyebrows and eyes walked around the city very familiarly, and entered a courtyard.

There was a man in black under the begonia tree in the courtyard, sitting alone at the stone table, drinking by himself, and several men not far away were standing silently.

As soon as the brocade scale guard came in, several men immediately looked at him with a wary expression, and when they saw that it was him, they relaxed.

The man quickly came to the man in black and saluted, "My lord." ”

The man in black put down the wine glass, glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong with the apricot grove?"

"My lord, three men and one woman went to the apricot forest today, and the women dressed up as men, and then the four of them went to meet the head of Baiyun Village. The man paused at this point, and then continued, "They are from the capital, and they have now entered the city. ”

The man in black nodded, turning his head to glance at everyone.

Several men immediately looked solemn.

"You all go and find out where those people came from. ”

"Yes. ”

The next day, before dawn, Qiao Zhao and the four of them quietly went out of the city, abandoned their horses and changed boats, and went all the way north.

Their situation was quickly reported to the man in black.

"Chi Can, the son of the eldest princess of Changrong, Zhu Yan, the son of the Marquis of Taining, and Yang Houcheng, the son of the Marquis of Liuxing—" The man in black read the names of the three people, his tone was stunned, and his face was a little confused, "Li Xiu's daughter, Li San?"

He pondered for a moment and muttered, "How did a little girl and those three get together?"

Several of his subordinates all stood solemnly, obviously not daring to interrupt Shangfeng's thoughts.

The man in black ordered: "From the capital to Jiafeng, you must pass through Baoling, contact the Jinlin guards stationed in Baoling City, and see if they have any information over there." ”

"My lord, what about the apricot grove?" asked a subordinate with ordinary eyebrows.

"Keep staring, this fire in the Qiao family is a little unusual. ”

As he was talking, a subordinate came in: "My lord, the letter from the capital." ”

The man in black reached out and took it, opened the letter, and only glanced at it, and then was stunned.

"My lord?" the subordinates couldn't help but speak.

The man in black clenched the letter tightly, and his tone was light: "Pack your luggage for me, and most of the overseers ordered me to enter Beijing as soon as possible." ”

The subordinates were shocked, but the man in black didn't explain, and walked out of the house with his hands in his hands, looking up at the begonia tree that had just budded, and pulling the corners of his lips.

After coming to Jiafeng for so long, he should go back, but I don't know what mistake Jiang Wu made, and the Metropolitan Governor wants to replace him back.

The man in black quickly suppressed this doubt in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh at the thought that he was going to travel with the four people who were a little interesting.

On the boat where Qiao Zhao and the four of them returned, the atmosphere was not very good.

Zhu Yan pinched the chess pieces, he was always gentle, he was on the verge of collapse, and said helplessly: "Shixi, if you are in a bad mood, you will vent it, isn't it torture to play chess like this?"

Chi Can lifted his eyelids and said coolly: "I'm venting!"

Zhu Yan was choked.

Dare to love him, he is the one who is tortured!

He couldn't help but cast a distressed gaze at Yang Houcheng.

Yang Houcheng spread his hands, signaled that he couldn't help, and nodded in Qiao Zhao's direction.

Zhu Yan's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head.

That's it, even if he is tortured, why drag the little girl in again.

Chi Can looked at the lawsuit between the two of them, and saw that Zhu Yan had rejected Yang Houcheng's proposal, his eyes swept over Qiao Zhao, who was sitting in a quiet corner, and said lightly: "Li San, come and play chess with me!"

Qiao Zhao's eyebrows moved when he heard this, and then he stood up silently and came to the opposite side of Chi Can.

Zhu Yan looked at her apologetically and got up to get out of the way.

Qiao Zhao sat down, and then the endgame between the two got up.

Leaning on the railing, Zhu Yan complained to Yang Houcheng in a low voice: "Shixi is holding back his anger, why implicate others." ”

Yang Houcheng glanced at Qiao Zhao, who was sitting with his back to him.

The girl sits elegantly, like a plum tree blooming quietly.

He laughed in a low voice and quipped, "Zizhe, are you pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade?"

"Hugh is talking nonsense, that's still a little girl who doesn't have time—"

"So, it's okay to wait for someone to do it?"

"Yang Houcheng!" Zhu Yan's face sank.

Seeing that his friend was really annoyed, Yang Houcheng put away his joke and said in a low voice: "Don't you know Shixi's uncertain stinky temper, if you don't let out the anger, let's not think about it all the way." ”

"Didn't I always play chess with him? Zhu Yan sighed.

Who made this trip to Jiafeng caused by him, and if there was any unfortunate thing, he could only admit it.

"What's the use of that, don't you see that Shixi is not happy to look at that little girl? Who let the little girl talk too much, and he had to say that he could only get what he wanted by taking her to visit Qiao's house, and as a result——"

As the two were talking, they heard a crisp crashing sound and looked at each other.

Chi Can threw the chess pieces into the chess jar and said coldly: "No, I won't play." ”

Qiao Zhao pinched the chess pieces and looked at him without hurrying.

This person's concentration is too poor, no wonder his grandfather didn't teach him at the beginning-

Thinking of his grandfather, and then thinking of the fire, Qiao Zhao's heart ached, and his expression was numb like a puppet.

Chi Can looked even more depressed, and sneered: "Li San, didn't you say that it would be difficult for me to get my wish if I didn't take you there?

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Qiao Zhao's heart.

She endured the pain and asked Chi Can softly: "I don't know what Brother Chi asked for when he went to Qiao's house?"
