Chapter 24: Prosperity

Just to be able to find her, I want to take her back to the City Lord's Mansion, and I want to accompany her well.

"I thought you were blaming me for not having time to spend with you, Little Momo, do you really want to do this?" Qi Yunyang's mood was a little low, and his tone was low.

"Yes, Little Peach has made up her mind." Xiao Tao said firmly, she turned her back to Qi Yunyang, and she didn't even want to look at him.

Qi Yunyang looked at Xiao Tao's graceful figure, and unspeakable feelings were born in his heart, he strode forward and raised his right hand.

"General......" Xiao Tao felt something behind her, and just as she was about to turn around, she felt that it was dark in front of her.

The lively street is full of people, and you can only think of the word prosperity everywhere you look.

A man led a white horse from outside the city and walked in, his dress was a little weird, on such a hot day, there was a gray veil on his head, he lowered his head all the way, so that people could not see his true appearance, everyone who saw him would glance at him, just a glance and no interest, because his dress was not too outstanding, and the fabric on his body was also very ordinary, probably a pedestrian passing by, everyone would think so.

The man dressed as a passer-by was Ning Sumo, he followed Xiao Tao's trail, searched from Jinfeng City, and found the town until he found it, but was told that Xiao Tao was taken away by a man with a scar on his face, and without thinking about it, this person must be Qi Yunyang.

Ning Sumo hurried all the way to Qi Yunyang's city, the former Mobai Town, he was very anxious all the way here, and he couldn't wait to fly here immediately.

At this point, however, his footsteps stopped.

It's all here, so there's nothing to worry about. After all, she won't run anymore.

"I have a relative who works as a maid in the city lord's mansion, and she whispered to me that the city lord's wife has been sleeping in a separate room with the city lord, and the relationship between the two is very bad."

"Really? I don't know if I can add my daughter to marry the city lord, I heard that the city lord's wife is a maid, such a good life, why do you have to lose your temper with the city lord, if it were me, I would definitely have to wake up laughing in my dreams. ”

"You want to be beautiful, don't you know how good-looking the city lord's wife is, how can we people compare."

"That's not necessarily, our city lord doesn't like young and beautiful women, if that's the case, my daughter will definitely be able to do it."

"Your Xiaocui is really good-looking, by the way, is your Xiaocui Xu's mother-in-law's family? Do you want me to give Zhang Luo a marriage? ”

"No need, if the city lord wants to find a suitable woman for marriage in the city, my Xiaocui will definitely be able to do it."

"Then you just keep dreaming."

The two women were eating noodle soup in the corner, laughing and joking, and talking happily, and their faces were red as if they were young girls when they discussed it.

Ning Sumo passed by and took all the words that the two of them said in her ears, it turned out that she didn't really like him, what she said that day must have been deliberately making him angry, it must have been.

City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Tao has been closed for the past few days, and has not eaten for two consecutive days, and then Qi Yunyang was in a hurry, and it really made people not send food in, at this time, Xiao Tao, who was extremely hungry, was lying on the bed in a daze, she actually didn't want to die, but she felt that if Qi Yunyang had a little pity for her in his heart, he shouldn't really starve her to death, this is a competition between her and Qi Yunyang, to see whose heart is more ruthless.

After not eating for a few days, Xiao Tao's face looked very bad, and she had lost a lot of weight, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind at any time, as weak as a willow.

Outside the door, Qi Yunyang was standing at the door.

"Not a drop of water?" Qi Yunyang asked the maid who was waiting for Xiao Tao in a low voice.

The maid shook her head slightly.

Qi Yunyang asked the maid to retreat first, he pushed the door, but did not push it open, it turned out that it was locked inside, no wonder Zirou and Ziyan said that there was no way to persuade Xiao Tao, it turned out that she didn't want to see anyone.

Qi Yunyang pulled out the saber at his waist, and with a single sword, he cut through the wooden bolt. The door opened.

Striding in, she saw the weak little peach on the bed, she stared out the window blankly, and there was no reaction on her face.

Seeing Xiao Tao's appearance like this, Qi Yunyang stood at the screen and did not move forward.

"You go, I can't trap you here, and I can't keep you." Qi Yunyang put down this sentence and left Xiao Tao's room.

Hearing that Qi Yunyang promised to let her leave, Xiao Tao's eyes regained their brightness, Qi Yunyang said a word, what she said must count, and now she can go out to find Ning Sumo.

Although she was a little dizzy, Xiao Tao still reluctantly sat up, went to the outer room, ate some flower cakes, drank some water, cleaned up some gold and silver jewelry a little, changed into the clothes she wore when she was a maid, and Xiao Tao came out of the room.

When she came out of the room, Qi Yunyang's figure flashed out from the side door, he looked at her back, his eyes were full of deep expectation, he still had her in his heart, but she was too ruthless, cruel to him, and equally ruthless to herself.

Xiao Tao didn't leave immediately after leaving the house, she found a small inn to live in, although she was in a hurry to find Ning Sumo, but Xiao Tao was not stupid, now her body is weak, and she still has to raise her.

The people who followed Xiao Tao reported this matter to Qi Yunyang, Qi Yunyang laughed after hearing it, he felt that Xiao Tao was still the little girl he knew that day, smart and clever, and daring, but she was a little too cruel to him.

"You have to protect her secretly, and you must report anything to me in time."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

The shadow slowly retreated.

At night, Ning Su Mo changed into black clothes and quietly sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, he had lived in this City Lord's Mansion for a few years, so he naturally knew everything about it, and he knew everything about the grass and trees here.

The garrison in the city lord's mansion is not strict, because Qi Yunyang is not guarding the people in the city at present, and in his opinion, the people and him are still a family.

A dark shadow briskly avoided everyone and came to the bedroom where Xiao Tao was, he got there, saw the light inside on, and was overjoyed, and took a closer look, but found that the person was not Xiao Tao, because it was dressed as a man.

Didn't you say that the lord of the city and the lady of the lord lived separately? Then why did Qi Yunyang appear in Xiao Tao's room? Could it be that the rumors out there are false? Ning Su Mo hid in the dark, unable to make up his mind, he didn't know what the situation was, he squatted behind the stone, quietly observing the movement in the room.

Qi Yunyang didn't seem to be ready to leave, he sat there motionless.

Tonight is not a good time, Ning Sumo waited outside the window for half an hour, and then quietly slipped away, not alarming anyone when he came, and the same was true when he left.

For several days in a row, Ning Sumo would go to Xiao Tao's Beiyuan in the middle of the night, but Qi Yunyang would be there these days, and he couldn't get close to that room at all.

On the fifth day, Ning Sumo saw Qi Yunyang riding out of the city during the day, so he took advantage of the daylight to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, although he was inconvenient to move during the day, but if he pretended to be a guard, it was still easy to be confused, he thought so in his heart, but as soon as he entered, he found that it was particularly difficult, so he could only retreat to the back door.

There's a little guy watching the stables at the back door, and I've been sitting there in a daze on weekdays, not doing anything serious.

"The general is not here, and you are napping here again in a daze?" Ning Sumo was wearing the clothes of a guard, and said sharply to the man.

The man was sleepy, and when he heard this sound, he was startled, and he quickly looked over to the voice, and saw a man in the clothes of a guard.

"Big brother, don't spread this nonsense, I just suddenly became sleepy, and I promise that I won't in the future." The little guy was very scared, the whole family was counting on him, and the general would never treat the maids in the house badly, which was much better than elsewhere.

"Seeing that you are scared like this, I am also busy and looking for you to chat for a while." Ning Sumo sat on the stone next to the little guy.

His words made the little guy relax his vigilance, and he really chatted with Ning Sumo.

"The general doesn't know what to do when he goes out of the city, and he doesn't know when he will come back, so it's a bit unkind to always leave the city lord's wife alone in the mansion." Ning Sumo said.

"Yes, who said it wasn't, my mother-in-law couldn't wait to lift the roof of the house if I didn't see me for a day, our wife is still a good person and kind-hearted, otherwise how could she marry the city lord." The little guy hurriedly said.

"But I heard that the city lord's wife left the mansion some time ago, and I don't know how the city lord brought people back."

"I don't know about this matter, but the city lord's wife seems to be having trouble with the city lord recently, and I haven't seen the city lord's wife for half a month."

"Really? But every night when I stood guard, I saw the lord of the castle in the courtyard of his wife. ”

"I don't know about this, maybe it's reconciled." The little guy said.

Ning Su Mo asked for a long time, but he didn't ask anything useful, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, wanting to know what happened quickly, and how Xiao Tao was now.

At this time, someone was passing by, and Ning Sumo hurriedly found an excuse to leave from this side, and when he got to a place where there was no one, he climbed out of the courtyard wall and left the City Lord's Mansion.

At night, Ning Sumo went to the courtyard again, this time no one was in the house, he entered the room and found that there was no one in the room, and the rouge gouache on the table was still neatly placed, indicating that someone lived here.

Where did Little Peach go? Where did Qi Yunyang hide her?

Many, many questions were swirling in Ning Sumo's mind, making him not know what to do at all.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he quickly climbed out of the window and left the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry while it was night.

The person who came was Qi Yunyang, who was holding a lantern in his hand, and after coming in, he turned on the lantern and lit the candles in the room.

Seeing that there was no one in the room and Xiao Tao's breath, Qi Yunyang's face could not hide his loneliness.
