"But Childe, the county order is clearly wronging you!" The little guy pouted and yelled.

"Since you know that I was wronged, you shouldn't have told Apricot about this, Apricot rescued me, do you think you're helping me? You know, this is a crime against me! Lu Jitong glared at the little guy with some annoyance.

The little guy opened his mouth and lowered his head to stir up the corners of his clothes.

"Ji Tong, don't blame him. Saving you is my own attention. The woman spoke.

"Apricot, you really shouldn't trespass on the county office." Lu Jitong looked at the girl, his eyes revealed a sense of pity, and he let out a long sigh.

"If I don't get you out, the murder charge will fall on you." Kyoko glanced at him and said seriously.

Lu Jitong's brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Apricot suspiciously: "Apricot, what do you mean by this?" ”

Kyoko didn't speak, but took out a piece of paper with Oriental characters written on it from her bosom and handed it to him.

Lu Jitong looked at the words on the paper carefully, and he said in surprise: "Apricot, are these true or false?" How did you find out? ”

"Ji Tong, before you came back, I sent Sasaki to look for you. Since then, however, Sato has been nowhere to be seen. I think it's strange that the person who reported it clearly said that he saw you and Sato enter the restaurant together, but Sasaki didn't come back, so I thought that there was something else hidden in it, so I asked people to investigate in secret. ”

Speaking of this, Apricot glanced at Lu Jitong and sighed: "If I weren't very familiar with you, I would almost have mistakenly thought that you had betrayed us." ”

Lu Jitong put away the paper and said in a deep voice: "No wonder I went to meet you in the first place. You're going to be so wary of me. Can all of this be true? ”

Kyoko nodded. "Before you arrived, we were secretly investigating the man. All the things written on this paper, 1510, are true. ”

Apricot glanced at him and said seriously: "Ji Tong, everything was done by that person, and it has nothing to do with you." But because your appearance is so similar to that man, the murder will surely fall on you, and if I do not deliver you, will you not be wronged? ”

Lu Jitong did not speak. He held the paper in his hand and rubbed it vigorously a few times, and his right hand shook and suddenly turned into confetti and fell one after another.

"Ji Tong, why did you destroy these? As long as you hand these over to the government, you can clear the suspicion of murder! Kyoko was shocked when she saw him destroy the paper.

Lu Jitong sighed and said with a wry smile: "Apricot, since you have found out who committed these cases, you should know. I have nothing to do with this case. ”

He paused and sighed, "He...... is still so willful, and now I have to bear these things for him. ”

"The murderer is not you. Why did you take his place? Apricot was a little anxious, and her apricot eyes were full of astonishment.

Lu Jitong shook his head and said, "This is not a crime. It's salvation. I believe that the eldest brother will realize his mistakes and change his ways. One more thing. The murder weapon that killed Tao Zhaoxue was Sasaki's dagger. I suspect Sasaki has nothing to do with it. ”

"No! I don't! Apricot Powder's face was slightly cold, she bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Ji Tong, I have lost Daddy, and I can't lose you anymore." If you go to confess your sin, you will not be able to live, and I will not allow it. ”

Lu Jitong was stunned, a touch of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and said, "Apricot, I didn't say that I was going to take the blame, but took the opportunity to investigate Sasaki's whereabouts." ”

Hearing him say this, Kyoko's nervous expression eased.

"Ji Tong, we have come across the ocean from Dongying, and everything here is full of unknowns. You're my only relative, don't you leave me, okay? Apricot eyes widened, and Chu Chu said pitifully.

Lu Ji's heart softened, held her hand and said, "I promise you that I will escort you to Chang'an safely." By the way, you don't have to go out casually during this time. The county magistrate has already recognized your identity and will inevitably search and arrest the whole city. Now, there is no news from Lord Gao's side, so you must not reveal your identity. ”

"From Dongying to Datang, there are countless dangers along the way, and we will be careful." Apricot glanced at a brocade box placed on the table, and said solemnly: "In order to escort this brocade box, too many people have died, and I won't let their blood be shed in vain." ”

If Li Canghai saw the brocade box at this time, he would definitely be shocked, because this brocade box was exactly the same as the brocade box he had taken from the Hades Palace.

At that moment, a puff of smoke came from the liquor store.

"There's a fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

The liquor shop man shouted anxiously in the courtyard, and in a few moments, there was a chaotic shouting in the courtyard.

Lu Jitong's expression was tight, and he hurriedly gave the apricot a look, and after the apricot received it, he hurriedly held the brocade box in his arms and cautiously followed behind Lu Jitong.

"Miss Apricot, are you okay?" More than a dozen figures quickly gathered outside the door, and one of them knocked on the door and asked respectfully.

Lu Jitong opened the door and saw more than a dozen men in strong suits, standing solemnly on both sides, cautiously observing the surroundings.

Smoke billowed from the liquor store, and the fire spread all the way to where they were.

"Apricot, this fire is strange, I'm afraid it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, get out of here quickly!" Lu Jitong glanced at the spreading fire, and immediately made a judgment in his heart.

Apricot nodded, without any hesitation, under the protection of many big men, followed Lu Jitong through the wine shop and went straight to the north of the city.

However, just as they walked to the old alley in the north of the city, countless cold and glittering darts suddenly flew around.

Several big men were caught off guard, and they were suddenly pierced into hedgehogs by darts, and their souls returned to Huangquan in an instant.

"Not good! There is an ambush! Lu Jitong was taken aback and shouted.

Before everyone could react, more than a dozen masked black-clothed men suddenly appeared from the ruins around them.

Lu Ji and the others quickly formed a circle, protected the apricot in the middle, and cautiously looked at the sudden killer in front of them.

"Miss Apricot, let's meet again, this is really fate!" A man with several weapons at his waist jumped from the wreckage and said in a stiff tone.

Kyoko, who was surrounded in the middle, saw the man, and her pink face suddenly became cold, and she said in surprise, "Ryosuke Miyauchi! You vile and shameless villain, how did you end up here? ”

"I'm here, naturally, to welcome Miss Kyoko and the general. I didn't quite believe it when I heard that you were here, and it seems that he didn't lie to us. Ryosuke Miyauchi put his hands behind his back and smiled playfully: "Miss Kyoko, the general is still waiting for you!" (To be continued.) )
