Twilight didn't believe that Chu Jiu would leave on her own.

When he heard Yin Duanhong's announcement that a stall owner on the street saw a person who was suspected of being Chu Jiu getting into a carriage and leaving Shu Wangcheng, he actually lost his previous judgment and immediately set off to chase him out of the city, wanting to ask Chu Jiu on the spot why she left him?

They rode out of town until the next day, when they caught up with the carriage in a small town.

Yin Duanhong's horse stopped the carriage, and the coachman in the carriage immediately pulled the reins when he saw this, and he stopped the carriage and scolded: "Who are you?" What do you do with my carriage? ”

Chao Duxue turned over and dismounted, stepped into the carriage quickly, opened the curtain, and saw a girl of the same age as the ninth year of junior high school in the carriage.

The girl in the carriage was frightened by the sudden opening of the door curtain and retreated into the corner of the carriage, and she shouted in panic: "Uncle Li, help! ”

When the coachman heard the screams in the car, he immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to pull away from Chaoduxue, but Yin Duanhong took out a long whip and shook it and directly grabbed his hand.

Yin Duanhong held a long whip, stared at the coachman, and warned him, "Don't move rashly, we're just here to find someone!" ”

Inside the carriage.

"Where is Zhao Chujiu?" Twilight questioned the girl in the car, her tone quite impatient.

The girl looked up and saw that Uncle Li outside the door was restrained, and no one could come to save her, so she trembled with fear and could only keep sobbing.

"Shut up! Where is she? Twilight yelled.

The girl was yelled at by Chao Duxue, and immediately stopped crying, "I don't know who Zhao Chujiu is...... I don't really know ......."

Chao Duxue scolded in her heart, how could this be?

The girl didn't know who the man in front of her was, she couldn't stop sobbing, her eyes were covered by tears, and she only looked at his fierce appearance, so she thought that she would soon be in trouble.

She wiped the tears from her face, and moved her ass just when she thought Twilight would not notice, trying to cover the burden beside her, in case she was snatched by the gangster.

But her move was redundant, and Twilight didn't even think about snatching anything from her, but when he saw her movements, he felt strange.

Twilight picked up the clutter that had been placed by the curtain and threw it over the girl's shoulder, her left shoulder crooked to reveal the burden she wanted to hide.

"You open this baggage!" Twilight commanded.

"There's nothing in here, it's just my daughter's clothes......"

"Open!"

The girl slowly untied her baggage, revealing two ingots of gold.

Looking at this girl's dress, and through her words and deeds, she felt that she was not the owner of this gold, "Where did this gold come from?" ”

"This ...... This gold is my hard-earned gold......" she hugged her baggage tightly.

"Earned?"

The girl nodded, she just wanted to speak, but the coachman Uncle Li stopped her, "Xiaocui, you can't say ......" otherwise they will all be finished!

Twilight turned her head to look at the coachman, "Can't you say?" Then he looked at Yin Duanhong.

Yin Duanhong understood what the sect leader meant, and immediately pulled the long whip tightly, and the coachman Uncle Li's hand was immediately pulled by the tightened whip, but he still didn't respond.

Seeing that the coachman's mouth was so hard, Yin Jiehong let go of the long whip that wrapped around his hand.

As the coachman rubbed his reddened hands, Yin Duanhong threw two whips on his back.

"Ahh

"You still don't say it!" Yin Duanhong asked.

The coachman endured the pain and bowed his head silently.

Yin Duanhong was whipped three more times.

Xiao Cui closed her eyes, not wanting to see Uncle Li being beaten with her own eyes, but Yin Duanhong's whip hit Uncle Li's body with a loud sound, which made her feel unhappy.

After an inner struggle, Xiao Cui still decided to speak, "I said, I said, don't fight ...... anymore"

Chao Duxue motioned for Yin Duanhong to stop.

Xiao Cui glanced at Uncle Li, and then said, "I don't know who it is......"

Hearing Xiao Cui say this, the originally irritable Chao Duxue became even more angry, and he slammed the head of the coachman next to him on the wooden board, "Say it or not!" ”

"I really don't know who it is, but someone gave me and Uncle Li these two ingots of gold, and let us drive this carriage out of the city to this remote place." Xiao Cui rummaged through the baggage and found a silver ingot, she revealed the bottom of the silver to Chao Duxue, "You see, this silver is a deposit that a man just gave us, and the bottom of the silver is stamped with the seal of the government, I guess that man should not be an ordinary person." ”

Chao Duxue stepped forward to take the silver from Xiao Cui's hand and looked at it, sure enough, it was the silver of the government, someone deliberately sent the two of them to confuse his sight, but why did Chu Jiu have anything to do with the people in the government?

"Do you recognize the man?"

"How could I recognize it, when I took this silver and Uncle Li took these two ingots of gold, they were both different people, I guess they were just ordinary people."

Chao Duxue glanced at Xiao Cui, and then let go of Uncle Li.

Xiao Cui stared at the silver in Chao Duxue's hand, "This brother, the silver ......"

Twilight Xue realized that he was still holding the silver ingot, and he threw it to Xiao Cui, and reminded her when he left. "This silver is official silver, and there is a seal underneath, you two ordinary people should not use it indiscriminately, be careful of accidents."

When Xiao Cui heard the words of this strange man, she couldn't help but shout in her heart: Isn't it? She inspected the two ingots of gold in her baggage, and likewise, there was a seal of the government at the bottom of the gold.

"!" What are they going to do with the money?

After getting off the carriage, Chao Duxue got back on his horse, "Let's go back to Shuwang City, the ninth day of the first month may still be there." ”

Yin Duanhong followed him, "Chu Jiu is really in Shuwang City?" ”

"Otherwise, why would someone lead us out of the city? Sometimes the safest places are the safest. ”

Seeing that the person who suddenly appeared left, Uncle Li immediately took Xiaocui and drove out of town, he felt that this place could not stay for a long time.

Xiao Cui opened the curtain and saw that she had left the town, and she thought she could rest in the town just now. She sat down beside Uncle Li, "Uncle Li, where are we going?" ”

"Run for your life!"

"Running for your life?"

"Yes, if the person who made us do things had a heart, the money given to us would definitely be ordinary money. But now they are giving us official money, just so that we can easily trace our whereabouts......"

"Track us down?"

"It's just convenient to find us, so that we can kill people and kill people!"

"Kill people? No way? Xiao Cui exclaimed, "Who is the person who told us to do things?" ”

"Certainly not ordinary people."

Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage sank into a small hole in the ground.

"What's going on?" Xiao Cui held on to the door behind her.

Uncle Li got out of the carriage and checked the wheels of the carriage, "The wheels are sunken, Xiaocui, hurry down and help me push it!" ”

"Okay!"

Xiaocui immediately jumped out of the car, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a strange man standing next to her with a big knife, and before she could scream, she was wiped by this man's neck.

Uncle Li on the other side looked at the wheel, and suddenly heard a "plop" sound, he raised his head and shouted suspiciously: "Xiaocui, what's wrong with you?" ”

He walked to the front of the car step by step.

Xiao Cui's body was spread on the ground, "Xiao Cui! He knelt down and shook Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui slowly opened her eyes, she saw the person behind Uncle Li, and said weakly: "Xiao ......"

But before she finished speaking, Uncle Li was solved by the man behind him.

The man got into the carriage and rummaged through the official money in Xiaocui's baggage, and then set fire to their bodies and the carriage.

****** ******

Lingwang's Mansion.

Li Ling listened to the report of his subordinates, and couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand.

"He's back?"

"Back to the prince, he just returned to Shuwang City."

Li Ling propped up his head and said leisurely: "It's really fast, I thought he was going to take some time." ”

At this moment, the steward knocked at the door.

"Lord Wang."

"Are you all ready?" Li Ling asked.

"Lord Wang, everything has been arranged, and you can set off now."

Li Ling nodded, then got up and went out to Qiuyuju.

In the autumn rain, the ninth day of the first month just drank the bitter decoction.

"It's bitter!" Chu Jiu was so bitter that he frowned.

"Girl, this is Huamei, you should be able to get rid of the bitterness in your mouth." The maidservant Qing'er next to her handed a few words to Chu Jiu.

Chu Jiu took it and chewed it, it really diluted some of the taste in her mouth, she took out the kernel, "This plum is quite delicious, unlike the ones I used to eat." ”

"This is pickled by the slave maid herself......" Qing'er was a little embarrassed.

"Really? Sister Qing'er, you are really amazing! "I ate another one on the ninth day of the first month.

"Girl, you are a guest of the prince, how can you call the slave sister Qing'er? Especially in front of the prince. Qing'er said with a serious face.

"Can't you?" Chu Jiu looked at her serious appearance, so he still listened to her, "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention." ”

Chu Jiu spit out the kernel, "Qing'er, can you give me some more plums?" It's only three, but it's not fun! ”

"Girl, you can't eat more than ...... Mei"

Chu Jiu sighed, "If I can eat Qing'er every day in the future, it would be nice to have Mei......"

"If you like it, let her cook it for you every day." Li Ling entered the door, he looked as if he knew the weakness of Chu Jiu, it turned out that she liked to eat.

When Chu Jiu heard Li Ling's words, she was instantly a little embarrassed, she stood up, "No need, I'm just talking." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you like it, this king will satisfy you."

Li Ling helped Chu Liu to sit down, and asked in a gentle tone, "Are you better today?" ”

"Much better, starting to have a bit of an appetite ......"

Qing'er on the side saw the prince's attitude towards Miss Zhao and felt that she should go out, so she asked the prince for instructions, "Lord, the slave and maid should retreat first." ”

Li Ling nodded in agreement.

"Qing'er, you don't have to leave...... Chu Jiu wanted to stop Qing'er, she didn't want to be alone with Li Ling.

But Qing'er only obeyed Li Ling's orders, she ignored Chu Jiu, and closed the door and went out.
