Chapter 19: The Lady Goes Missing

The night is like ink, and the rain is like silk.

The lights are bright or dark in the night, with a hazy beauty.

Behind the dim lights, there are patches of darkness that you can't see your fingers.

At this time, there was a tall and thin man, standing in the shadows with a burden in his hand, listening to the bustling and noisy inn not far away, the man became more and more anxious.

Suddenly, a dark figure jumped from the roof of the inn and ran towards it quickly.

The man hurriedly walked up to meet him, opened the burden in his hand as he walked, shook off the clothes inside and handed it over, under the illumination of the light, the man's face gradually became clear, and it turned out to be Agui, the chief of the guard of the Golden Mansion.

The black shadow walked over, neatly took off the wet night clothes on his upper body, and reached out to take the clothes handed by Agui.

"How?" Agui asked.

"There are high-ranking people in it, but they didn't make it." The other party said viciously, while hiding in the darkness and changing the clothes on his lower body.

"Superior? What is a high person? Did they have been prepared for it? Deliberately arranged a fake Miss Jiang to wait for us to come to the door? Agui was stunned.

"It's hard to say, I didn't see it clearly." As he spoke, the man walked out of the darkness, threw the wet clothes and pants in his hand towards Ah Gui, and said, "Go back to the house to transfer people, I will go to investigate again!" The hazy light spread on his face, and this person was Liu Wenzhao.

"Yes."

"Also, dispose of this garment as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

Liu Wenzhao stood in place, looking at Agui's figure gradually moving away, his brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes gradually precipitated, cold as a soldier.

At this time, the Hengchang Inn was already in a mess.

When Xi'er learned that there were assassins in Miss's room, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. Finally cheered up, and hurriedly ran upstairs anxiously, before the person entered the door, he shouted crisply: "Miss, Miss, there was an assassin just now, you are okay, right?" ”

The jade unicorn in the room was getting dressed in the dark, Jiang Xiaoxuan's clothes and accessories were very complicated, compared to the clothes she wore on weekdays, it was much more complicated, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and suddenly heard Xi'er's little yellow warbler's voice, and she felt like drinking ice water on a cold day, and instantly felt excited, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Miss, Miss?" Seeing that she didn't reply, Xi'er thought that the young lady was frightened, so she hurriedly walked into the scoundrel worriedly, and took down the lantern hanging outside the house and walked in.

"Miss, you're fine, are you?" Xi'er walked into the house, closed the door, put the lantern on the table, walked over to the jade unicorn, and reached out to pull her.

But in the next second, Xi'er froze!

This face is clearly not Miss's! No, no, no, who is this person? It's not my own lady at all!

Seeing her stunned, Jade Qilin opened her mouth wide, thinking that she was going to scream, so she hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth, "Don't scream, I'm not a bad person!" ”

Not a bad guy? It's not a bad person, why are you covering my mouth?! Xi'er looked at her in horror until she was sure that there was no malice in her eyes, and then nodded hesitantly.

Seeing that she had compromised, the jade qilin slowly let go of her hand and exhaled softly.

"Who are you? Where's my young lady? Xi'er looked left and right, but she didn't see the young lady's figure, and she couldn't help but worry.

Seeing the nervousness on her face, Yu Qilin hurriedly explained, "Your young lady? I'm afraid I'll take advantage of the chaos to run out of the city a long time ago!"

"It's over...... Xi'er listened and sat down on the ground, "Miss really ran away this time." ”

Seeing her like this, it seems that she is not surprised by Jiang Xiaoxuan's escape? The jade unicorn looked at Xi'er with some scorn and asked, "You seem to know that your young lady is going to run away?" ”

Xi'er pursed her mouth, looked at the jade unicorn aggrievedly, nodded, and hummed with a sad face: "Miss, Miss, you can kill me!" ”

At this moment, there was a quick knock on the door outside the house, and the voices of several mothers-in-law came in.

"Miss, open the door!"

"Miss, you're fine, are you?"

"Xi'er open the door, let's see Miss!"

When Xi'er heard this, she jumped up and turned around in a hurry, "What can I do about this?" Before I came, the old man told me to look at the young lady, if the young lady left under my nose, the old man would not pick up my skin? ”

When Yu Qilin heard this, she was happy, "She ran by herself, and if you want to pick her skin, why do you pick yours?" ”

At this time, the door outside the house was louder, and someone shouted: "Miss, open the door, or we will crash open!" ”

"It's over!!" Xi'er was about to cry, and she couldn't think of a way for a while, so she had to look at the jade unicorn for help and said, "What should I do?" ”

"Hmm......" Yu Qilin thought for a while, and whispered: "Let's just say that Miss was frightened and can't see people now!" ”

"Oooh!" Xi'er nodded hurriedly, and shouted outside like a parrot, "Miss...... The young lady had just been frightened and could not see anyone now. ”

Hearing Xi'er say this, the knock on the door of the mother-in-law outside was quiet, but she still stood at the door muttering, as if she was unwilling to leave, and there was a feeling that she would not die without seeing the Yellow River.

Xi'er looked at the shadow reflected on the door, anxious like ants on the hot pot!

Suddenly, she had an idea, walked quickly to the bed, grabbed Jiang Xiaoxuan's clothes and put them on herself.

"What are you...... Why? The jade unicorn was confused.

"Don't you see those mothers-in-law who don't want to leave?" Xi'er glared at the door angrily, and then said, "No matter, I put on Miss's clothes and turned my back to the door, hoping to fool the past, anyway, they shouldn't stare directly at Miss." ”

"What?" Yu Qilin was stunned for a moment, then grabbed her hand and said, "You pretend to be a young lady, who pretends to be you?" ”

Oh, yes...... Xi'er was stunned, who will pretend to be herself? Miss, this time, you really pushed Xi'er into the fire pit!

Thinking about it, her mouth deflated again, and she was about to cry again, "What should I do then?" Why is my life so miserable! ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and it seemed that there were quite a few people coming.

Then, I heard a man's voice asking, "Why are you all outside?" ”

"Miss won't let me in." A mother-in-law replied.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with Miss? ”

"I don't know what to do, the door is locked inside, and Xi'er said that the young lady is frightened and can't see anyone."

"Can't see anyone?"

"yes......"

"How can this work? If the young lady has three long and two short, you just wait to lose your head! After the man finished speaking indignantly, he walked to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said loudly: "Miss Jiang, Liu Wenzhao, the housekeeper in Xiajin Mansion, please open the door for us to rest assured." ”

The housekeeper of Jiangfu? The jade qilin was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xi'er.
