Chapter 273: Escape from Qingfeng City
When Mrs. Zhao came over with the medicine, Lu Qingzi was sitting at an empty table waiting for the guards to come back.
Carefully taking the medicine, Mu Xuan also heard the sound and went downstairs, just in time to see Lu Qingzi: "Miss is back?" ”
She nodded and said to Mu Xuan: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. ”
Lu Qingzi let Mu Xuan sit down, and Mrs. Zhao put the medicine on the table with a good eye and returned to the cabinet.
Mu Xuan looked at Lu Qingzi and asked, "Isn't it just a group of flower shooters?" What else is going on here? ”
Lu Qingzi responded, took out the medicine and carefully applied it to his wrist, and then took some and applied it to his already red and swollen face.
The man was ruthless enough, half of his face was swollen in the bronze mirror, and he still felt a burst of heat.
Lu Qingzi whispered to Mu Xuan while applying the medicine: "That house is not far from the downtown area, in this Qingfeng City, it looks good, the business they do is not good, and it is interesting that they dare to live there." ”
If they are others, I am afraid that the more hidden the better, but they dare to swagger and live there, probably someone behind them is a backer for them!
Mu Xuan nodded and asked Lu Qingzi, "Are you the only one who came back?" ”
Lu Qingzi applied the medicine and said to Mu Xuan: "He asked something there, and he estimated that he should come back after a while." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of the guard came from the door.
He came to Lu Qingzi's side with a solemn face, looked at her in a low voice, and said, "Miss, my subordinates asked out, Huzi was sold to a family in the countryside here, and the little girl that Miss said is, the youngest daughter of the prefect of Qingfeng City!" ”
Lu Qingzi looked surprised, "The prefect's youngest daughter? Was it taken captive, or was it .......?"
She couldn't say the rest of the words, if it was really what she thought, then this Qingfeng City was really terrifying.
"The man only said that she was the prefect's youngest daughter, and the rest refused to say anything about it."
Even the knife had reached his neck, but the man refused to say anything anyway.
"Are those people still in the yard?" Lu Qingzi thought for a moment and asked the guard standing in front of him.
The guard said, "The subordinates are tied up and locked in the firewood room." ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, picked up the medicine on the table and returned it to Mrs. Zhao, and said to the shopkeeper Zhao who was standing beside her: "Huzi has a whereabouts, it is in a family surnamed Zhou in Lingjiang Village, tell them to go and find it!" ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was convinced of Lu Qingzi's words at this moment, and after hearing Lu Qingzi's words, he immediately called the young man who ran the hall to go to the next door to spread the word.
"I'm going to prepare the food and drinks, and I'll thank the girl for the evening." Mrs. Zhao took Lu Qingzi's hand, and her eyes were full of gratitude.
Who knew that Lu Qingzi said with a smile: "No, we're leaving." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned, "The girl is leaving so soon?" ”
Lu Qingzi answered, and asked Mu Xuan and the others to pack up the salute and the other to set the carriage.
"I offended them, if I continue in this inn, I will not only cause trouble for myself, but also for you, and leave early before they find out who did it."
Mrs. Zhao thought for a while and said to Lu Qingzi, "Girl, wait a moment." ”
With that, Mrs. Zhao turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Zhao took out the silver that Lu Qingzi had paid before and stuffed it into her hand, "Zhao resolutely can't accept this silver, and the girl is also a place to make silver on the road, so don't shirk the girl." ”
Lu Qingzi nodded, did not refuse his kindness, thanked him, and put the silver in his purse.
After a while, the guards had already driven the carriage to the door of the inn, and Mu Xuan also helped Gu Ningyue slowly go downstairs.
Looking at Gu Ningyue's expressionless face, Lu Qingzi couldn't help but look at her and asked, "It's still painful, right?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I've endured the pain no matter what, it's nothing." Gu Ningyue said this, but Lu Qingzi found that there was already some fine sweat on her forehead.
"Help her get into the car!" Lu Qingzi said to Mu Xuan, "The carriage is at the door." ”
Mu Xuan nodded, and helped Gu Ningyue to the door.
At this time, Mrs. Zhao took Zhao Wanru's hand and came down from upstairs, still holding a bag of things in her hand.
"Ma'am, is this?"
Mrs. Zhao put the burden in Lu Qingzi's arms, and said to her gently: "This is the pastry that has just been made, the girl is in a hurry, and she doesn't have time to buy dry food, so let the girl eat it on the road!" ”
Lu Qingzi bowed slightly, "Thank you, madam." ”
When the words fell, Zhao Wanru suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to Lu Qingzi, Lu Qingzi hurriedly helped Zhao Wanru up, "What is this for?" ”
Zhao Wanru looked at Lu Qingzi and said, "My sister saved Wanru, and Wanru will always remember her sister's kindness." ”
Lu Qingzi looked at Zhao Wanru's white and tender little face, touched her head and said, "As long as you grow up well, it will be the best reward." ”
In this sentence, Lu Qingzi not only said to Zhao Wanru, as long as Wen Meng and Lu Qing grow up well, she will never have any other wishes.
Lu Qingzi said, looked at Mrs. Zhao and said, "I'm leaving, thank you, madam." ”
"Well, be careful on the road."
Lu Qingzi got into the carriage and sat opposite Gu Ningyue, Gu Ningyue looked at her and asked, "Why did you leave in such a hurry?" ”
Lu Qingzi said lightly: "If you don't leave, I'm afraid that someone will find Tongfu Inn." ”
"You said the people who chased me and Mu Xuan?"
Gu Ningyue asked, who knew that Lu Qingzi shook his head, "It's not them, it's the people from Qingfeng City." ”
Lu Qingzi's words, Gu Ningyue was stunned for a while, although she already knew that the officials of Qingfeng City were not clean, but they had just arrived in Qingfeng City, how could they provoke these people?
Lu Qingzi saw that she was confused, so she explained: "I arrived today and took away the house of the shopkeeper Zhao's daughter, which is not far from the downtown area, and the little girl I saw that day is the youngest daughter of the prefect of Qingfeng City. Thinking back to the appearance of the little girl at that time, it was obvious that she was not persecuted, and when I ran away, the girl was also gone, so she came and went freely, I am afraid that they will be together. ”
Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, "It's actually the daughter of the prefect here?" At such a young age, to do such a thing, the prefect here is really damned! ”
Mu Xuan looked at Gu Ningyue's angry face, and couldn't help clenching his fingers slightly, "Maybe it's not the prefect, it's someone who is doing this behind the prefect's back, it's not known, it's better not to jump to conclusions." ”
Gu Ningyue had some indescribable emotions in her eyes, she glanced at Mu Xuan quietly, since the day he went to save her, his words were very few, and now he can say these two sentences, which makes her a little surprised.
