Ji Qiang took Xi'er to Shenyang City together, but Xia Jinnian was not worried about the two of them going, so he sent guards to follow secretly.

Just halfway through the journey, Ji Qiang ordered to get off the sedan chair. Xi'er looked puzzled, looking at Ji Qiang and not knowing what her intentions were.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Xi'er held her arm, and saw Ji Qiang looking around, they were in the wilderness at the moment, and Shenyang City was still nearly halfway there.

"Huh? Have you forgotten what Hongu said? Ji Qiang reminded Xi'er that the two of them had disguised their identities during this trip, Ji Qiang was just a girl from a down-and-out family, and now she was an orphan girl, and Xi'er was her maid.

"Yes, Miss!" When Xi'er heard this, she hurriedly corrected herself, but she still didn't know what Ji Qiang was going to do.

"Come out." Ji Qiang said something inexplicably, which made the people around her full of strangeness.

"...... Where else is there anyone here? I saw Xi'er's blank face, and I didn't know who Ji Qiang was talking to.

Then, a group of guards jumped out of the grass beside them. I saw them standing in front of Ji Qiang one by one, and shouted together respectfully: "Queen Mother."

"Hmm...... We'll go on our own for the rest of the road and go back to the errand. Ji Qiang waved her hand, only to see the group of guards looking at each other, but still not moving.

"Queen Mother, the subordinates don't dare, if the mother makes a mistake halfway, the subordinates really can't deal with it......" The guard's embarrassed look made Ji Qiang hesitate for a moment.

"But there are too many peers, and this palace doesn't want such a big battle. Then you also return, and the next journey is Hongu and Xi'er. After Ji Qiang ordered everything, everyone was worried about her safety and didn't dare to move.

"...... You just let us go, if something happens to you, the emperor will blame it, wouldn't it be ......" The companions quickly knelt down, this is not just a matter of a head.

Although Ji Qiang knew their embarrassment, it made it difficult for her to visit. She had her own concerns, frowned slightly, and her tone couldn't help but be stiff.

"What? You don't listen to what Hongu says? Ji Qiang was originally an ice beauty, and as soon as her tone became cold, the people in her entourage didn't dare to say a word. I had to obediently retreat.

Then, only Ji Qiang and Xi'er were left.

On the way, Xi'er's words didn't go through much. She was trying to relieve Ji Qiang's boredom, but she looked around, and only replied lightly.

"Mother...... Miss, do you have to walk most of the way? Xi'er's mother almost blurted out, but a pair of last Ji Qiang's eyes immediately changed her words and laughed without laughing.

"Well, although it is a wilderness, you must be vigilant in everything, too big a battle will attract the attention of others." Ji Qiang told Xi'er, the two walked slowly, this is not far from Shenyang City, and the road is no longer rugged, only one road can go directly.

The two were walking, and a masked man suddenly broke out halfway, Ji Qiang looked at the person holding a short knife, and approached the two of them step by step.

Seeing this, Xi'er hurriedly blocked in front of Ji Qiang, looked panicked, and shouted at the visitor, "What do you want to do?"

In fact, Xi'er grabbed Ji Qiang's sleeve in fear and asked quietly, "Miss, what should I do now."

Ji Qiang was not as panicked as her, but was very strange to the person who came, after all, assassins generally did not choose the remaining halfway, because it was definitely more suitable for the previous part of the road compared to before. 90 Literature Network

Moreover, the eyes of the person in front of him turned around, as if he was afraid of something, and at first glance he was a newcomer, and Ji Qiang saw through these at once.

"Hand over the money......," the assassin shouted, his tone fierce and little by little, and Xi'er panicked.

Ji Qiang took Xi'er's hand, and then looked at the person with teary eyes, and said to this person with the appearance of a little woman: "You see that we are two women, what threat is there to you, my sister and I are now in Shenyang City to ask for relatives, otherwise I don't know how to live in the future......"

Ji Qiang said, the bean-sized tears slid down, and the man didn't know what to do when he saw it, and then Ji Qiang took out some silver from his bag and said to him: "This is the only silver we have left, let's see if we can let the two of us go."

The Assassin had no intention of killing, so he snatched the silver and put it in his clothes, then fled quickly.

Seeing this, Xi'er looked blindfolded. Without looking at Ji Qiang, her eyes were full of shock.

"Mother, you're too powerful!" Xi'er held Ji Qiang, but the silver was given away, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Look, understand?" Ji Qiang said, flicking Xi'er's forehead with a smile on her face.

Xi'er nodded thoughtfully, and followed Ji Qiang into the city.

As soon as the two entered the city, they planned to find an inn. Xi'er ran over and pointed to the plaque, Ji Qiang nodded, and the two entered the inn.

"Boss, is there a room for my lady?" Can it be cheaper, my lady and I are both from other cities, new arrivals, I hope the store can appreciate the face. Xi'er chattered, and then pointed to Ji Qiang and had another long talk.

When the store saw such a beauty as Ji Qiang, they were even more overjoyed, and coupled with Xi'er's eccentric energy, they politely asked Xiao Er to lead the way.

"Little Er, prepare some more meals...... Xi'er explained in detail what to pay attention to in the dishes, and began to tidy up the things in the room, so that Ji Qiang could have a good rest.

"Miss, take a break and go down to eat, I must be tired and hungry after walking for so long." Xi'er placed her things for her, and then led Ji Qiang downstairs.

While the two were eating, one of them happened to pass in front of the inn. That person was the city lord of Shenyang City, and this glance saw Ji Qiang's appearance.

It's like a fairy descending to earth, although she is wearing coarse linen clothes, but the temperament on this body exudes from the inside out, which is really fascinating.

After a few more glances, he took note of the inn by the way, and had a bad thought in his heart, and then started a conversation with the people on the side.

Ji Qiang had already observed the people outside the inn, because the inn was facing the city gate, which was why she stayed here. I didn't expect her to meet the city lord of Shenyang City by such a coincidence.

Hearing that the city lord is lustful, his gaze just now made her guess a thing or two, and now he is sure.

Ji Qiang got up and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. Xi'er was not surprised when she saw this, and looked at how much was left in this bowl.

"Miss......" Xi'er saw her go upstairs and hurriedly followed.
