As it should be, the news quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

The boys and girls all over Kyoto were scolding those two shameless thieves who insisted on provoking Chang Junmin, while glad that these two people couldn't make any waves and were imprisoned.

A few days after this incident, the lively atmosphere in Kyoto has gradually cooled down and returned to its usual atmosphere.

And Xu Ruoqing, who was maliciously ignored by the Wang family, was tortured in prison.

"Miss, are we really going to do what he says?" The girl covered in blood lay on the wet and cold ground and whispered.

Another bloodied figure in the dark, damp room moved, and then a hoarse voice rang out.

"The Wang family ignored us, and at this stage, we have no clue when we can get out. If the Wang family doesn't move for a long time......"

"I'm afraid we're going to die here."

"So," the figure propped up his arms and leaned himself against the wall, "we can only bet on his solution." ”

I was expecting that the Zhongshu Lingfu would express something, but I didn't expect that the Wang family would be so ruthless.

completely ignored the old lady and Xu Yuanjiang's warnings.

Xu Ruoqing pulled out a sad smile.

But so what, as long as she can go back this time, she will definitely want that Wang to look good.

Now, that's the only thing to do.

Xu Ruoqing clenched the flint and steel she had received from the informant in her hand. Leaning quietly against the wall and waiting for the opportunity.

If there was such an opportunity, it was at the moment when their master and servant were put into the interrogation room and punished the day before.

On that day, halfway through his execution at the stake, the jailer was suddenly summoned away. There were only three people left in the interrogation room, she was barely awake, Xiao Lu, who was already unconscious, and another person who was also tied up and couldn't see whether she was alive or dead.

After noticing that the jailer had gone, the weak man moved his fingers and said, "You, a member of that clan, why, how did you end up here?" ”

Xu Ruoqing frowned, not sure if he was talking to herself.

"Ah, I see. It must be, it must be him, it must be a good thing he did. Haha-hahahaha"

The originally lifeless man suddenly threw his head up and laughed, as if crazy.

Xu Ruoqing looked at him coldly, only thinking that he had been tortured too much and was crazy.

Unexpectedly, this madman suddenly turned his head to stare at her, and said to her the most attractive thing word by word.

Not only that, but the madman said, "You, go out with me." ”

The serious tone does not feel like a joke at all.

Xu Ruoqing's originally addicted spirit suddenly sobered up, and she carefully discerned the words of this madman.

"If you don't cooperate with me, you'll never want to get out of here alive."

Xu Ruoqing was silent, this is indeed a fact.

She had already determined that the Wang family had murderous intentions against her. There was no way, she could only try this madman's solution now.

So, according to the madman's words, she got the flint and steel from an unknown Hosaku today, and waited for the right time.

In the middle of the moon, the night was thick. It's always the best time to do things at night.

In the base camp of the city guards, there were few lights, and only a few fire racks could barely illuminate the route.

A dark cloud obscured the moon in the middle of the night sky, and the earth fell into a dark silence again.

Suddenly, a thick cloud of black smoke rose from the prison in the southwest corner of the city guard's garrison, and the flames filled the sky.

"It's out of the water! The prison is out of the water! ”

"Quick! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

"Hurry up and inform your lordship! Fast! ”

The garrison of the city guard was in a panic at first, and then under the command of the fire and people in an orderly manner.

"Count the casualties, quick!"

"Yes!"

"To live to see people, to die to see corpses! If there's a missing corpse, you'll make it up for me!" ”

"Yes!"

A few hours later, the fire was extinguished and the sky was ushering in the morning glow.

"My lord, all the corpses are here. The number has been tapped, no more, no less. ”

The leader of the city guard frowned at the corpses covered with white cloth on the ground, and then at the prison, which had been half in ruins. I think there are a lot of strange things about this matter.

"Give the order to go down and search for suspicious people around the capital."

The adjutant took the order and immediately sent someone to conduct a search.

At this moment, in a small hotel on the edge of the capital, Xu Ruoqing was sitting at a table in a room.

"We are grateful for your willingness to rescue our master and servant. I just don't know ...... next."

The madman sitting at the other end of the table still looked half-dead in prison, but his tattered clothes had changed.

He squinted at Xu Ruoqing, who was also covered in scars, and grinned, and there was no smile on his face covered with blood scabs and fresh wounds.

"You don't have to worry, we still can't get out of the city like we are now."

"Out of town? What are you going to take us out of town for? ”

"Is there a better way for you to survive if you stay here?"

The madman looked at Xu Ruoqing, who was entangled, and didn't take her struggle seriously.

"Do you still want to go back to that messy Zhongshu Mansion?"

Yes, there were still things in her mother's place that she didn't understand, and the lines on her arms that had been visible told her that she couldn't get out of it with her mother. But......

"I know what you're worried about, don't worry. Since you're stuck there and don't have a way to find clues, you might as well listen to me. ”

"Since I have already said it, it will be done. After all, we're also a deal, aren't we? ”

In the time it took for him to escape, the madman probably made his purpose clear.

Originally, he said that in prison because he mistook Qi and mistook her for the young lady he was escorting.

The madman is attacked by robbers on the way to Kyoto to escort his young lady, and the young lady is missing, and their people are scattered, and he is also imprisoned.

Now I come to Kyoto because I have important things to do, and it would be very difficult to do without the presence of his young lady.

The madman then asks her to play the role of a young lady in his family, on the condition that he get her out of prison and help her find clues about her mother's affairs.

"Absolutely. Since there is a deal in the first place, and you have done it, I will get out of prison, and I have no reason not to trust you. Yes, do as you say. ”

Xu Ruoqing replied. It's just that the voice has become more hoarse and ugly.

The madman was silent for a moment, and said, "Your voice sounds really harsh. ”

"Each other, each other." Xu Ruoqing glared at the madman for a moment and replied.

Really, during those days in prison, not only were they punished, but they also had so much food and water that they were so bad that it was hard to eat. How can a suppressed throat still be good?

This madman really can't open any pot.

"Someone will come and give us a look later, so let's sit down for a while." Looking at Xu Ruoqing's unkind eyes, the madman hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Disguise? Do you mean a change in appearance? Can I change my appearance without surgery? Xu Ruoqing's eyes were shining, and she suddenly came to her senses.

The madman looked at Xu Ruoqing a little speechlessly, covered his ears and said, "Yes, it's that Yirong, girl, can you be quiet?" ”

Oh my God, the madman really didn't expect Xu Ruoqing to have such an exciting moment when she looked so calm and indifferent.

"But don't get so excited, it's just the two of us. As for that maid of yours," said the madman, pointing to Midori lying on the bed, with his chin raised, "of course not with us. ”

"That little green will ......"

"Knowing that you are reluctant to give up your baby maid, don't worry, she will stay well until you finish playing my young lady."

After speaking, the madman rolled his eyes and ignored Xu Ruoqing anymore.

"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door! The city guards search and must not be stopped! ”

"Uncle, hehe, please come in."

"If you see a suspicious person, report it immediately, do you hear it?"

"Eh, if you hear me, the little one will do it. Uncle, you're good to go! ”

Near the small hotel where Xu Ruoqing and the madman were hiding, there was the sound of a search by the city guards.

Xu Ruoqing listened to the sound of the city guards who had already searched the small hotel, and gave the madman a look and asked him what to do.

"Don't panic, they don't know for sure, otherwise they won't search one by one, let's just sit here." The madman said lightly.

"City Guard Search!" With a shout, the door of the room where Xu Ruoqing and the madman stayed was kicked open.

The city guards who came to search looked quickly in the room, and then fixed their eyes on Xu Ruoqing and the madman, and looked at them suspiciously.

Xu Ruoqing's hand under the table clenched involuntarily, and layers of fine and dense sweat appeared on her body.

The madman shook her hand and motioned for her to calm down.

"You two, report any suspicious person immediately!"

But he didn't see anything, so he just warned the two men as a routine.

After seeing the two men nodding, the city guards hurriedly left to search the next house.

Xu Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to shake off the madman's hand, but the madman consciously withdrew his hand.

"Just now, thank you." Xu Ruoqing was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll be very distressed if you show yourself." The madman teased.

"You!" Xu Ruoqing looked at the madman, and she was really embarrassed to say the latter words.

After all, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

So Xu Ruoqing snorted coldly to show her dissatisfaction.

Seeing Xu Ruoqing like this, the madman raised his hand and coughed twice, and then said, "Wait until noon, and we will prepare to leave the city." ”

"Now, let's talk about what I want your help with."

So Xu Ruoqing turned her head, sat up straight, and listened carefully to the madman's narration.

The Zhongli family is a member of the Five Regions Alliance of the Southern Continent. At this moment, the Shengyang Dynasty located in the Central Plains came to discuss reinforcements.

The other four clans of the Five Domains Alliance also went to other countries in the Central Plains to ask for help.

What is guarded against is the rise of the only ungoverned territory on the southern continent.

According to what their high priest had observed, this catastrophe would be a catastrophe that would sweep across the continent.

Therefore, they alone could not prevent it from the Five Domains Alliance. So they came here for help.
