Everyone only saw that Xu Qingyang was raised to be gentle and sensible, knowledgeable and courteous. didn't know that in her heart, she had already had a strong will to protect herself.

Xu Qingyang's small body stood in front of those people and asked lightly,

"Really hurt?"

The man saw that it was a child, and he thought it was easier to cheat money.

"yes, look at my wounds."

Xu Qingyang walked to a vendor's stall, picked up the scissors on the stall, and walked back.

"I think your injury is a little bit off, why don't I help you."

As he spoke, Xu Qingyang raised the scissors and stabbed the man's heart, the man was shocked, and immediately got up to dodge, not at all like a person who was injured.

At this point, everyone knew about it, and the man left in a huff. Xu Qingyang looked at the scissors in his hand and told Xiangling to buy them.

"Why buy scissors?" Xiao Lan was very puzzled.

Mama Wang smiled, "The girl thinks that it is unlucky to encounter such a thing, and she wants to break the fortune and avoid disasters." ”

Xiao Lanxin also smiled, "I am only eight years old, I have such courage, I can suddenly understand that banquet that day, she can stand up, not like others, and she is just whispering if she is not used to it." ”

The two chatted, and Xiangling also invited the old gentleman over.

Mama Wang saw the old gentleman as if she saw a life-saving straw,

"Sir, please help me take a look at my girl."

The old gentleman hurriedly stepped forward, Xiao Lanxin got up and dodged, and stood aside.

Xiangling stepped forward, "Miss Xiao, Lord Xiao has arrived, and she is in the master's Qingyin Pavilion, please come over." ”

"But Qingqing,"

"Girl, don't worry, the name of the old gentleman Miaohandtang in the west of the city is well known to everyone, and with him, my girl will definitely be safe."

Under Xiangling's persuasion, Xiao Lanxin left.

In front of the Xu Ling Gate of Qingxiang Pavilion, Xiao Lanxin was just about to enter when she heard the sound of discussion inside.

Xu Qingyang's injury made Xu Ling's heart ache, if it weren't for the reputation of the Xu family, he would definitely whip that person's corpse.

Not to mention a few brothers, Xu Rong has not come back until now, and only sent Shuncai back to report the situation, and just happened to meet Xiao Cong who came in a hurry.

There were only Xu Ling, Xu Jian, Xu Qian, Mingqi and Xiao Cong in the house, and they saluted everyone by the way.

"The second son is still searching the whole process, and he lost fifteen children tonight, the youngest is two and a half years old, and the oldest is five years old. There are also three girls who got lost with their families after the chaos in the city, all of them unmarried girls who have not returned. ”

When everyone listened to such a data, they were all afraid.

Xu Ling looked at Ming Qi, who had already bandaged himself at this moment, and the knife wounds on his arm and chest had stopped bleeding.

"Ming Qi, you have fought with them, what is the other party's number?"

At the mention of that person, Ming Qi seemed to have a fire in his heart,

"The person at the head is called Yiming, and he is responsible for the arrest and abduction of girls in the empty gate.

There are three levels of empty doors, and the first-class people are tailored to train secret guards or maids for those in need, and are mainly responsible for communication, such people have many identities, and if they are not close friends, they have not seen their appearance.

The second-class people, like Yiming, have their own people. There are very few such people who are empty.

The third class is the one who started the trouble on the street. If it weren't for such a large-scale operation, they would be responsible for stealing money, on the streets, in the homes of merchants. ”

Everyone listened to Ming Qi's introduction, and while they were surprised, they were also curious about how Ming Qi knew so many inside stories.

Maybe it was because he guessed what everyone was thinking, Ming Qi explained to himself,

"The subordinates are the people who come out of the empty gate, and the training carried out inside the empty gate, so they know better. The subordinates were originally cultivated for the Lingjiang royal family, and then they were transferred to Lord Lu, and then came to the Xu Mansion. ”

Xiao Lanxin, who was outside the door, heard Ming Qi's self-report, and thought that he had never said anything if he was injured today, and felt a little distressed about him.

It's like finding a person who has the same disease, in Xiao Lanxin's opinion, both of them are people abandoned by fate.

Xu Ling didn't comment much, he believed in Ming Qi very much,

"You're hurt, take care of yourself. Shuncai, what is Rong'er's next step? ”

"Back to the master, the second son wants to arrest the rich businessman who held the lantern festival."

Xu Ling nodded, this decision happened to be what he thought,

"You go and tell Rong'er, don't worry about it, even if you find the head of the powerful people of the Great Zhou, I will have my back."

"Yes!"

Just left, Xiao Lanxin took the opportunity to walk in.

"Lan Xin has seen Uncle Xu Shi, father."

When Xiao Cong saw his daughter, he immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.

"Xin'er, are you hurt?"

Xiao Lanxin shook her head, "Thanks to Qingqing and Ming Qi, there are also the four Land Rovers." ”

Xiao Cong knew that Ming Qi had a life-saving grace for Xiao Lan, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Ming Qi.

Xu Jian looked outside, and when he saw that Xu Qingyang did not come, he knew that the person should not have woken up yet.

"Hyomu, what do you think of this?"

Xu Ling looked at Xiao Cong, and an idea spontaneously arose in the hearts of the two, and this look at each other, the two tacitly agreed.

"Tomorrow, Li Zhang, the captain of the division, will definitely play Your Majesty. But the 'empty gate' is a sect in the rivers and lakes, all over the four countries, and the effect of His Majesty's edict alone should not be great. The affairs of the rivers and lakes must be solved in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xu Ling's words were on Xiao Cong's heart,

"That's right, as soon as Ming Qi said just now, I will take him down first. However, they have just finished this operation, and there should be no action in the short term. We need to start with the Green House. ”

The two hit it off and immediately determined the direction of the search.

Xiao Cong then said, "I have accepted a team of people, which are not in the establishment and can be used." ”

Seeing that Xiao Congliang was out of the house, Xu Ling naturally had to express his position,

"My second brother has his own dart game, which is also available. Take me to talk to him tomorrow, then we will start from both sides, brother, your people are in charge of the Qinglou, and my people will collect news on the rivers and lakes, how about it? ”

Xiao Cong thought about it, his own people have lived in Jiankang for a long time and are more familiar with the Jiankang environment, and the people of the dart bureau that Xu Jian said are running around the world, so they are naturally suitable to collect news outside Jiankang City.

"Very good, Xiaomu, the little girl is frightened, and Madame is very anxious at home, so I will take her back first."

Xu Ling immediately stepped forward to see off the guest, "Okay, I'll send my brother out." ”

"No need, Ling Ai is still in a coma, you don't have to be polite to your brother, go and see your daughter."

Outside the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wen Chenan heard that Xiao Lanxin had left, so he hurried over and met Lu Shixian, who was also going to visit Xu Qingyang.

The two heard that Xu Qingyang hadn't woken up yet, so they thought about waiting outside the door, but after a while, they waited for Xu Ling and a few people.

Xiangling walked over, and Xu Ling hurriedly asked,

"How's Qingqing?"

Xiangling's face was solemn,

"I haven't woken up yet, so I guess I won't be able to wake up today. The trauma was not a big deal, and the old gentleman said that the girl's feet needed to be repaired. Just now the girl was sleeping deeply, and the old gentleman took the opportunity to straighten the girl's bones, perhaps feeling pain, and the girl was calling Mrs. ”

"I know," Xu Ling felt a pain in his heart, and looked behind him, a bunch of men, inexplicably feeling troubled.

"Who else is in there?"

"Only Mama Wang and Sister Ruyao are left in the house."

In the whole house, everyone knows that Ru Yao's status is not ordinary, and several sons also respect Ru Yao very much. Everyone also unanimously speculated that Ruyao would be promoted to an aunt sooner or later.

Although after so many years, Ruyao is still Xu Ling's handmaiden, but everyone does not dare to make a mistake, the older ones call Ruyao Sister Ruyao, and the younger ones have to salute when they see Ruyao and call their aunt.

Only then did Xu Ling realize that he hadn't seen Ruyao all along, so he had come here.

"Since Qingqing won't wake up for the time being, you all go back to rest. Mama Wang is also old, Xiangling, you keep vigil for her. ”

"Yes."

Xu Jian stepped forward, the last time the father and son had no result, and it was a little strange to talk at the moment.

"Does Father want to accompany Qingqing here?"

"Well, Ruyao and I stay, plus Xiangling is enough, you can lead them back."

After speaking, Xu Ling walked straight into the house.

The rest looked at each other and had to leave together.

On the carriage of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Lanxin closed her eyes and recalled everything that happened today,

"Xiaohong, are you afraid today?"

"I'm afraid, the slaves and maids are frightened. In the end, if Miss Xu hadn't been in a hurry and used the thief's signal flare, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

"Yes, don't talk to your mother when you go back, lest she worry too much."

"Yes."

Xu Ling's second brother is named Xu Nan, who is a local assassin and does not serve as an official in Jiankang City. Xu Nan is an extremely chic person, Xu Qian is very similar to him, but he is less free and easy. Xu Qian pays attention to physical and spiritual enjoyment, while Xu Nan does everything as he pleases.

When he went to Tanzhou to take up a post in Tanzhou, he encountered a gang of thieves. The leader looked at Xu Nan, a pot of wine and a sword, and thought he was a chivalrous man.

The other party relied on his large number of people and wanted to fight, but who knew that Xu Nan saw that several people were about to rob money, so he directly threw away the sword and threw the money bag on his body.

The leader was directly stunned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Didn't I ask for money, I'll give it to you." Xu Nan looked indifferent, leaned against the stone on the side of the road and drank wine.

Several thieves looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.

"Aren't you going to resist?"

Xu Nan swallowed the wine in his mouth a few times.

"I don't know martial arts, how can I resist."

"You don't know martial arts, and you still carry a sword? Just by looking at the appearance, this sword must have cost a lot of money. ”

Xu Nan looked at the sword that he threw on the ground, and the scabbard was shining in the sun,

"Brother Tai has good eyesight, if you like it, take it, this thing is quite heavy on my back."

The thieves were even more confused, and just as they were about to try to get the money bags on the ground, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance.

Someone suddenly ran up from behind and shouted,

"Oh no, it's an expeditionary dart game!"

When everyone heard this, they were in chaos, and the leader didn't think about it, and directly ordered,

"Withdraw!"
