Chapter Forty-Eight: To the City Lord's Mansion
The rooms that Qian Zao arranged for Luo Qi and the others were adjacent, on the third floor.
However, their room is on the left side of the stairs, while Qian Zao and Yaya's room is on the right.
After they were settled, the money had already returned to his house.
At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and for Tonghua City, it could be said that it was late at night, but it was not quiet.
There was a lot of noise on the main road in the city, but it didn't affect the people in the room.
"Kneel down!" The stern voice came, causing the originally shaky body of the girl kneeling on the ground to stabilize in an instant, and she knelt as standard.
After kneeling for a long time, a thin layer of sweat had formed on the girl's smooth forehead.
Qian Zao sat on the collapse and was applying plaster to her injured arm, she used the plaster left by Lu Xue in the past two days, the effect was really good, and at this moment the arm had been swollen, leaving only a little wrinkled epidermis.
After she finished applying it, she put the plaster on the low table, and then looked at the kneeling girl on the ground, "What's wrong?" ”
Yaya lowered her head and lowered her voice, "The child shouldn't, shouldn't have thoughts about that brother......"
"Yaya, he's not something we can afford to mess with. If your mother doesn't come back in time today, are you ready to ...... Asked for his skin? ”
The girl knelt on the ground and was silent, but knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, how could Qian Zao not know her careful thoughts.
Yaya has followed her since she was a child, what bloody rain has she never seen? I don't know when Yaya fell in love with making human skin masks, and the source of the material was real human skin.
It is precisely because she is good at this that she will attract the attention of her master, take them under her command, and get the protection of her master.
She should have thought of it, isn't the appearance of Mo Gongzi an excellent material for her daughter?
She sighed lightly, her voice softer, "You also heard the conversation between Miss and him today, his status must not be low, we can't afford to mess with him." ”
"The child knows, and he won't have this kind of thought in the future." Yaya's voice was muffled, but she still made a promise obediently.
"Alright, let's go back!"
After the words fell, the girl raised her head and looked at her mother, who was holding her forehead with one hand, and saw that she was not looking at herself with loving eyes like before, so she lowered her eyes in disappointment.
"Okay, then the mother will rest early." After the girl finished speaking, she stood up tremblingly and walked out with trembling legs.
She opened the door and saw the woman in red standing on the verandah, she was slightly stunned, and then remembered what her mother had just said, and quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head.
Luo Qi heard the voice and looked back, only to see a little furry head standing stupidly at the door.
"Qian Zao's daughter?" The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and the little girl was looking at herself vigorously just now, very excited. Why are you so depressed now?
The girl said "um", her body bent slightly, and then slipped back into her room like a puff of smoke.
"The child is not sensible, so the young lady laughs." Qian Zao got up and walked out after hearing the voice, and whispered to the woman.
"It's okay, the little girl is cute." Luo Qi looked at Qian Zao and said, and then his eyes fell on her arm, and his nose moved slightly.
The taste of this plaster is somewhat familiar.
"Come in, Miss, it's not very convenient to talk here." With that, she turned sideways and gestured respectfully.
As soon as Luo Qi entered, he smelled the smell of plaster in the room that was stronger than just now, and he still had some suspicion in his heart, but when he saw the small bottle on the low table, this suspicion suddenly turned into affirmation.
She turned her head, a pair of watery eyes looked directly into Qian Zao's eyes, and her tone was cold, "You've seen Lu Xue!" ”
Qian Zao was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "What the young lady said, but the girl who was picked up by the city lord a few days ago?" ”
Seeing the woman in front of her nodding, she told in detail what she knew about Lu Xue during this time.
The candles in the room were bright and dim, jumping from time to time, as if they were talking about something......
……
On the second floor of the inn, the man stood upright by the window, looking at the bustle of the street below with a faint expression.
After a while, a sneer suddenly sounded in the room, and the man sneered, "She's just a little fox, very cunning, where will she suffer......
Mo Shen laughed, he actually decided to stay because of her arrival, was he crazy?
It's just a big deal, don't interfere, just watch a play and come to play.
Just as he was about to turn around and write a letter to His Majesty to show that he would stay for a few more days, his eyes caught a glimpse of two familiar figures on the street, hurrying towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Where did she follow on this big night?
Mo Shen frowned slightly, rubbing two sunspots in his hand.
……
The two people who are in a hurry here are Luo Qi and Lu Feng.
Luo Qi learned a more specific situation from Qian Zao, and there were unknown forces in Tonghua City recently who wanted to take this city without much effort.
Mo Zhiqiu is very smart, presumably she knows that the forces behind Lu Xue are not simple, and she is trying to make Lu Xue the city lord to resist that force, so as to keep Tonghua City.
As a city lord, this idea is of course excellent, and it will not damage Tonghua City, so it is a good city lord.
However, those who use her as arrows are not afraid of being counterattacked.
Outside the Castle Lord's Mansion.
"Master, we ......"
"Secret visit! Let's go find Xiaoxue first and see how she is doing now. ”
In the moonlight, two figures climbed over the high wall, avoiding the people in the house who walked by from time to time, and acted separately.
Luo Qi didn't blindly look everywhere, she had a clear goal, since Mo Zhiqiu knew that the force had found Xiaoxue, then she would definitely pay more attention to protecting her.
Therefore, the courtyard of the mansion with many guards is where Xiaoxue is located.
Sure enough, she found a room in the east courtyard that was more guarded than the others.
She looked around, and with the help of the shadows of the trees beside her in the moonlight, she jumped directly onto the eaves, a move that was smooth and natural, and did not attract the attention of the guards below.
She paused for a moment before carefully lifting the roof tiles and seeing everything inside through the small hole.
Inside the room, the girl was lying on the bed with a pale face and no blood, and on the edge of the bed, a woman with delicate and beautiful facial features sat quietly, looking at the person on the bed with blank eyes.
Suddenly, a delicate-looking woman walked in at the door, and her elegant temperament was particularly eye-catching.
"City Lord, go and rest! I'll just feed the young city lord medicine. Twilight walked into the bed with a bowl of medicine.
"Sunset, it's been two days, why hasn't she woken up yet?" There was a hint of worry in his hoarse voice, which was distressing.
But Twilight was unmoved, and her tone was faint and ruthless, "Just wait." ”
She glanced at the woman with a somewhat haggard face, "The city lord should go back and rest, you are here, you will disturb the young city lord's rest." ”
Hearing this, Mo Zhiqiu pondered for a moment before slowly getting up, "Okay then!" I won't bother her. ”
After the woman went out completely, there were only two girls of the same age left in the room.
Sunset put the medicine on the table and said slowly, "Isn't the girl up yet?" ”
When the words fell, the girl on the bed, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened her eyes and tilted her head to look at the elegant woman in the room, "Thank you!" ”
