Chapter 18: Lies

Jiang Mian looked at the people who were moved, he felt that there must be something strange about this matter, after all, there are no bandits around here!

Speaking of bandits, this is still a lie he told in order to hide people's eyes, but the girl in front of him also used this excuse.

He couldn't help but recall the incident of meeting Rong Xi......

Two days ago, after checking the accounts from the shop in Linyu in a carriage, he rushed to the direction of Jinzhou City.

Although he was not short of money as the lord of a city, he couldn't help but learn from Jiang Wan when he thought that Jiang Wan was so rich and insisted on going out to do business often.

Since Jiang Wan left, in the past three years, he has not only become the city lord of Jinzhou City, but also opened the shops under his name in large and small places in Qi Country in his spare time.

On the one hand, it is not only to make money, but also to find Jiang Wan's whereabouts.

Jiang Mian thought, Jiang Wan hasn't come to him yet, maybe he has been delayed by something, he can't just wait for his brother to come to him, he also has to take the initiative to attack, but unfortunately after looking for so long, there is still no news.

Because Linyu is not only not far from Jinzhou City, but Linyu is also the capital of Qi State, with a large population and a developed economy, Jiang Mian has opened many shops in Linyu.

Two days ago was the day of the quarterly audit, Jiang Mian also heard the news of King Cheng's rebellion after checking the accounts, and knew that King Cheng's soldiers and horses were not far from Linyu, so he hurriedly drove to Jinzhou City, wanting to avoid it, but on the road he met Rong Xi who was thrown off the carriage.

Adhering to the idea of saving people's lives and winning the seventh-level floating slaughter, Jiang Mian rescued Rong Xi into the car, originally he wanted to ask Rong Xi's identity, after all, saving people casually might bring him trouble, but as soon as he arrived in the car, Rong Xi fainted in pain.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Mian invited a doctor for Rong Xi, and after the doctor treated the wound for Rong Xi, he told him that the injury on Rong Xi's body was not fatal, and it could be healed after a few days of cultivation.

It turned out that although Liu Zhi stabbed Rong Xi at that time, after all, there was a friendship between the two for many years, Liu Zhi still left a hand for Rong Xi, she did not attack Rong Xi's vital point, but only stabbed her gently.

Liu Zhi also knew in her heart that it would indeed end sooner or later if the princess was found, but she couldn't allow her to betray the princess.

In her heart, the princess is the best person in the world, usually not only treats them well, but also takes more care of them, how can anyone betray the princess ruthlessly?

After a short time, Rong Xi woke up in the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at all this in front of her, Rong Xi couldn't help but thank God, sure enough, her life should not be extinguished, even if she was stabbed by Liu Zhi, and then threw down the carriage, someone actually saved her.

After hearing the news that Rong Xi woke up, Jiang Mian sent someone to inquire about Rong Xi's situation, although he didn't think so much when he saved people, but it would not be good if he got into trouble because of this.

Originally, Jiang Mian planned to ask when he got out of the car to save people, but before he could ask, this person fainted, he couldn't watch people die in front of him, so he took Rong Xi back to the City Lord's Mansion.

After receiving Jiang Mian's order, Li Cheng, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion, came to Rong Xi's room.

Li Cheng came to the door, knocked on the door and asked, "Girl, is it convenient to come in and ask a few words now?" ”

Hearing the inquiry outside the door, Rong Xi simply cleaned himself up and let the housekeeper in.

Because Rong Xi's injury was not serious, so now Rong Xi can get out of bed, and the housekeeper sat in the house with Rong Xi after coming in.

Li Cheng looked at the girl in front of him and spoke.

"I don't know who the girl is, and why was she stabbed and fell on the road in broad daylight?

The girl doesn't have to worry, this is the Jinzhou City Lord's Mansion, I am the housekeeper of this house, if the girl has any grievances, I want to come to my city lord can also be the master. ”

It turned out that this was already Jinzhou City, and Rong Xi had heard about this Jinzhou City Lord Jiang Mian when he was in the palace.

I heard that this person is kind-hearted, and he thinks that he is the most kind, no wonder he will save himself.

But if she told her true identity to the city lord, a slave who betrayed the master, not to mention that she betrayed the princess of the dynasty, she didn't dare to think what would happen to her.

So after thinking about it, Rong Xi only said that he was the daughter of a family in Linyu, and his surname was Rong Xi, because he heard that King Cheng was about to enter Linyu, so he took his subordinates to his hometown.

Unexpectedly, the servant had a bad heart for the family on the way, so he stabbed her and threw her out of the carriage.

Speaking of this, Rong Xi was still a little crying, as if she was really so miserable.

Seeing this, the housekeeper returned to Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian has never been a person who only listens to one-sided words, not to mention what Rong Xi said, which seems to be reasonable, but there are many flaws.

First of all, starting from her name, Jiang Mian has been going back and forth between Linyu and Jinzhou City for three years, but she has never heard of a big family surnamed Rong in Linyu.

Secondly, Rong Xi said that she took her subordinates back to her hometown, which is the prosperous family of the family, how could she allow her daughter to take people on the road alone?

In the end, this servant has evil thoughts on the road, not to mention that today's slave does not dare to betray his master, even if he dares, he will not be afraid of the severe punishment of the law if he is found out in the future?

What's more, when they found Rong Xi, Rong Xi's injury was not serious, and the doctor even said that he would be fine after a few days of cultivation, such an injury really did not look like a slave who dared to betray his master.

All of the above can show that what Rong Xi said is false, but if it is said that it is necessary to find out her identity, it is not an easy matter.

But if she was left in the house at will, Jiang Mian was always a little uneasy, so he decided to ask Rong Xi in person.

After the housekeeper left, Rong Xi learned through small talk with the people in the house that King Cheng had captured Linyu, but the whereabouts of the lord and the princess were unknown.

The princess hasn't been found yet, which can't help but make Rong Xi think about something else.

Just when Rong Xi was chatting with the maid in the house, Jiang Mian came.

He withdrew and took Rong Xi back to his room.

"Miss Rong, is your surname really Rong? As far as Jiang knew, Linyu didn't have a big family surnamed Rong, and asked the girl to explain. ”

Obviously, Jiang Mian's tone was very gentle, and people looked so gentle, but it was a pity that it was because of her weak heart, and she felt a chill from inside.

She knew that she couldn't hide it, and she knew that she might be full of loopholes, but if she wanted her true identity, she really wouldn't dare.

Since the princess has not been found yet, she doesn't like to go out when she thinks about the princess when she is in the palace, and it is estimated that not many people have seen the princess.

After figuring this out, Rong Xi said: "Actually, I am the princess of Qi Kingdom, Qi Yun. ”
