Maybe she was too tired, Yuan Jiaojiao slept very deeply all night, and when she woke up, Ji Yanning was no longer around.

Pearl came in with water, and when she saw Yuan Jiaojiao waking up, she said, "Miss Yuan, wash up first." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao snorted, and then asked, "Where is Ji Yanning?"

Pearl said, "Miss, she's downstairs." ”

When Yuan Jiaojiao heard this, she didn't hesitate to get up and wash, then she pushed the door out, walked the stairs, and saw Ji Yanning in the lobby looking at a yellowed book in her hand.

She glanced at the book cover, which was about a book like Maoshan Technique.

She didn't know how Ji Yanning would be interested in this kind of book, but it was true that Ji Yanning loved to read, and she could read any kind of book attentively.

Hearing the footsteps, Ji Yanning raised her head and saw Yuan Jiaojiao, she was wearing a goose-yellow brocade dress today, which looked playful and lively, which was very suitable for her.

The guard beside Ji Yanning said, "Prepare breakfast." ”

The guard answered, and walked in the direction of the back kitchen.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "You got up quite early. ”

"I've always been. Ji Yanning said, "Maybe you were too tired from traveling, so you snooze for a while." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao shook her head and grinned, "No, I have always been like this." ”

When I was with Ji Yanning before, I had to get up earlier, but when I went to the Yuan Mansion, the old lady loved her the most, so naturally she wouldn't be harsh on her, so she didn't have to get up too early on weekdays.

Ji Yanning glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

The guards brought the food up, and Yuan Jiaojiao put a bowl of minced porridge in front of her, she gently scooped it up with a spoon, and was about to eat it, but was stopped by Ji Yanning.

"Wait. Ji Yanning took down the porridge in her hand along with the spoon.

Yuan Jiaojiao looked at her with some puzzlement: "Is there a problem with this porridge?"

Ji Yanning said: "I don't know, so be extra cautious." ”

Before they eat, they all checked the pearl first, and saved the little ones hidden in the inn to do some tricks.

After Ji Yanning checked it carefully, he said, "Eat with confidence." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao picked up a bun and planned to put it in her mouth.

"Buns?" Ji Yanning narrowed his eyes slightly, and snatched the bun from Yuan Jiaojiao's hand.

Yuan Jiaojiao was snatched twice, and looked at Ji Yanning with a resentful expression: "I came all the way to see you, that's how you treated me?"

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, but she ignored her pitiful little eyes, and said, "I don't know if the steamed buns are poisonous or not, so be careful." ”

If it was in normal times, it would be fine, but she felt that with Cai Meng's temperament, she was afraid that it would be pervasive.

On the territory of Liangzhou City, she had to be careful.

Yuan Jiaojiao said: "Then I'll break it open and show you." ”

She said a little unconvinced, took the bun again, divided it in two, and handed half of it to Ji Yanning.

Ji Yanning took it unceremoniously, and took out the silver needle in his hand to test it.

Her eyes sank.

The silver needle turned black.

Seeing that Ji Yanning's face was not good, Yuan Jiaojiao stepped forward to take a look, her face was also a little sluggish, and then she threw the bun in her hand on the table next to her.

"The inn has been sealed, I want to see who is so bold as to dare to poison us!" Yuan Jiaojiao yelled at the guards.

With Yuan Jiaojiao's roar, suddenly a figure ran out of the counter in the direction of the gate.

The guard, quick-eyed, leaped into the doorway, and kicked the fleeing man back into the lobby of the inn.

The little guy looked at the guards who surrounded him, and his face turned pale with fright.

"I ...... I'm not...... You let me go!" the little guy began to struggle.

Yuan Jiaojiao didn't eat breakfast, she was very angry, she walked in front of the little guy and looked at him condescendingly: "It's not you, what are you running?"

"I didn't run, I just thought there was something urgent. The little guy's eyes dodged, and it was clear that he was weak-hearted.

Yuan Jiaojiao's eyes were cold, it seemed that Ji Yanning's worries were really reasonable.

Seeing that the originally delicate little girl's eyes became so cold, the little girl trembled slightly, and suddenly he pulled out a dagger from his hand and stabbed at Yuan Jiaojiao.

Ji Yanning hurriedly stood up, but before the guard next to him rushed over to teach the little guy a lesson, Yuan Jiaojiao had already raised his foot and kicked the dagger in his hand to the side, only to hear a "clang", and the dagger had been firmly inserted on the pillar on the side.

Before the little guy could react, Yuan Jiaojiao's expression froze, and then kicked him to the ground again.

The guard stepped forward with his sword drawn, and placed it around his neck.

"Just your three-legged cat kung fu and still want to stab?" Yuan Jiaojiao snorted lightly and said, "It's almost the same to send you to death." ”

When she was poor in martial arts, she thought she was very self-aware, and she ran away if she couldn't beat it.

Ji Yanning stepped forward, glared at her, and said: "The guards here are all higher in martial arts than you, you don't need to take action in person, fortunately you met a weak one, if you come to a strong martial arts person, you will be in danger." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, could only nod, and said, "Okay, I won't do this next time." ”

She just wants to show off her martial arts.

In the past nearly a year, she has learned a lot of real skills from Duan Wufang, and now even if someone catches her, she may not need to run away.

Ji Yanning raised his hand and said to the guard, "Pull it down." ”

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "Girl." ”

Ji Yanning's eyes looked at the shopkeeper with a cold expression.

The shopkeeper's words that he was still thinking of begging for mercy immediately stuck in his throat, and he sneered: "Girl, we don't know anything about this in the store, and I don't know why he is suddenly like this." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and sighed, as if he was very annoyed.

Ji Yanning said lightly: "That's it, if you don't know, I won't blame you, but I don't want this kind of thing to happen a second time." If there are still people like this, you don't need to open this store anymore. ”

Obviously, Ji Yanning's voice was not loud when he spoke, thin and soft, but it sounded a little scared to the shopkeeper, thinking of the day when the bandits came to assassinate her, this girl's expression never showed a trace of timidity, and she knew that this person could not be provoked.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "This matter is the fault of the small shop, we will definitely not have such a thing happen again." ”

Ji Yanning didn't answer his words again, looked at Yuan Jiaojiao, and said, "Have breakfast." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao nodded and followed Ji Yanning back to the table.

I've tried all of these meals, and except for the buns, everything else is fine.

After breakfast, Ji Yanning wanted to continue looking at the book in his hand, but Jinhe hurried back.

"Miss. Jinhe stepped forward and said, with some urgency in his eyes, and said, "My subordinates went to Mapo Mountain with Lord Shaoqing to look for the prince, but when we arrived, the prince was gone. ”

Ji Yanning was slightly stunned, and then returned to his senses and said, "What do you mean it's gone?"

Jinhe truthfully reported the matter.

In fact, Duan Wuxian and the others had already arrived near Mapo Mountain at night, only to find that the guards of the Xuanwang Mansion had a conflict with the officers and soldiers of the Liangzhou Yamen.

Cai Meng really wanted to wipe out all those guards, but fortunately, Duan Wufeng arrived in time with someone and took down Cai Meng in one fell swoop, which quelled the fight, but he never saw King Xuan.

Later, I learned that the reason why they had a conflict was because Cai Meng's people misreported and brought King Xuan and several guards into the cave, and then King Xuan disappeared.

Cai Meng said that maybe the prince was arrested by the mountain bandits, but the guards were not stupid, and immediately wanted to catch Cai Meng and interrogate him.

However, in the evening, coupled with Cai Meng's large number of people, some of the guards have already been separated to find the prince, and the remaining part is a little troublesome to get entangled with these people, and it is at this time that Duan Wuflawless and his people met people who were fighting.

Cai Meng felt that something was wrong, so he ran away alone.

Now that the mountain bandits have not been suppressed, the prince is missing, and even Cai Meng can't be found.

That's why Jinhe came back to report the news.

Ji Yanning's eyes moved slightly, and without too much hesitation, he said: "Leave four people to watch in the inn, and the others will follow me to Mapo Mountain." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao immediately stepped forward, and Ji Yanning turned her head to look at her, as if she was thinking about something.

"Take me with you, you can't leave me alone at the inn. Yuan Jiaojiao looked at Ji Yanning pitifully.

Ji Yanning said: "Don't follow Pearl and Shiso. ”

Pearl and Shiso looked at each other, and could only nod their heads.

Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao walked out of the inn, asked the guards to lead the horses, and the group headed in the direction of Mapo Mountain.

There is still a long distance between Liangzhou City in Mapo Mountain, and it takes a few hours for the horses to rush over.

But fortunately, Jinhe knew the way, and when Ji Yanning arrived near Mapo Mountain, it was already nearly dusk.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Duan Wufang and the others naturally knew that someone was coming, but they didn't expect Ji Yanning and Yuan Jiaojiao to come over together.

Duan Wufang stepped forward, glanced at Ji Yanning, and just said, "I'm still looking for it." ”

Yuan Jiaojiao answered: "In the barren mountains and mountains around here, King Xuan won't really be captured by the bandits, right?"

Duan Wuflaw said: "We are talking to the bandits on Mapo Mountain, if they are not interested, then we can only attack the mountain first." ”

After all, I don't know where Rong Che is now, and only after attacking the mountain can we get rid of these mountain bandits who are in the way before we can continue to look for Rong Che.

Ji Yanning listened to Duan Wufang's words, and couldn't help nodding.

Now that Rong Che and Cai Meng can't find anyone, they can only say that this is the most appropriate approach.

"However, I think Cai Meng has colluded with the mountain bandits, and even when asked about them, they may not be willing to tell the truth. Ji Yanning pondered.

Even if he didn't see Rong Che, he lied that Rong Che was in his hands.
