Chapter 146: Rotten
Qiao Qixin was shocked, "Really??" ”
"yes, we don't have anyone to escape from prison, what's the use of asking for so many portraits?" Uncle Wang said.
Qiao Qixin: That makes sense......
Uncle Wang continued, "Why don't you go to prison and make a round?" ”
"No, no, no." Qiao Qixin hurriedly waved his hand.
Naturally, if you can't go to that prison, you won't go.
Qiao Qixin was wandering around the Dali Temple.
There was no one in it, and naturally no one cared about Qiao Qixin.
Walking around, Qiao Qixin felt bored.
Suddenly, a cat meow sounded in my ears.
When I looked up, it was a black and white cat.
It's a wild cat, but it's not afraid of people.
Qiao Qixin squatted down, and the cow cat pasted over.
"Meow~"
It screamed, seemingly enjoying Georgette's touch.
"Little girl, do you like cats too?"
A slightly older but familiar voice came from behind.
Qiao Qixin subconsciously turned around and saw a familiar person - Dali Siqing, Kun Bai.
"Hello Li Siqing." Qiao Qixin didn't know what to call him.
Kun Bai waved his hand with a smile, "Xiaoyou don't have to be restrained, you can call me grandpa, and your father-in-law can do it." ”
Qiao Qixin pondered for a moment, "Father-in-law Kun is good." ”
When Kun Bai heard this, the smile on his face was even bigger.
He bent down and touched the kitten's head, and the cat that was originally pestering Qiao Qixin immediately turned against him, rubbing Kun Bai's hand and refusing to let go.
"Is this a cat raised in Dali Temple?" Georges asked.
"It's just a mouthful of food, it's not raising. How? Interested in taking it in? Kun Bai said.
Qiao Qixin shook her head.
She can't even support herself, how can she raise a little guy again.
"Captain!! Tingwei!! ”
A man dressed as a peasant stumbled in.
"Why are you so flustered?" Kun Bai stood up from the ground, and his majestic aura leaked out.
"Tingwei, it's Liu Gongzi, he has something."
"Oh? What can he do with the kid? Let's hear it. Kun Bai said.
Someone will tell me......
Early this morning, Sui Luocheng sent someone over, saying that something big had happened in the city, and someone had to go over to solve the case.
When asked what was the big deal, the man didn't say.
Liu Zhan couldn't ignore it, and he didn't start in Dali Temple, so he went by himself.
As soon as he entered Suiluo City, he learned that a group of bandits had infiltrated the city and did something to steal chickens and dogs every night.
It's just a matter of stealing chickens and dogs, but the gang of bandits is extremely arrogant, and when they are caught, they go to beat up the person who arrested them.
Suiluo City has no security, so the people are miserable, and they spontaneously come to Dali Temple to find rescuers.
Liu Zhan originally didn't know about this situation, so he didn't bring many people with him, but now he couldn't get away from being busy with Luocheng, so he sent people back to Dali Temple to move the rescue troops.
"Did the kid say he wanted a few people to go over?" Kun Bai asked.
The man shook his head, "I didn't say it." ”
"Done." Kun Bai waved his hand and said, he looked at Qiao Qixin, "Girl, you heard it, that kid is short of manpower." ”
Qiao Qixin nodded, "I heard it." ”
Kun Bai nodded, "Well, the old man is going to send you to support him." ”
Qiao Qixin said, "Okay." ”
Kun Bai nodded with satisfaction, "Then you follow him to Suiluo City, and find Liu Zhan if you have something." ”
Qiao Qixin was silent for a moment, "You mean that I am the only one who supports?" ”
"Well, it's enough for the two of you, and it's superfluous for the others to go." Kun Bai is serious.
Isn't it really because there's no one......
Qiao Qixin complained silently.
Spit and complain, Qiao Qixin can't help but go.
After getting on the car, Qiao Qixin leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, with a hunch that it would be a difficult thing to do.
The carriage traveled very fast, and before the sun set, it arrived in Suiluo City.
[Mission (Advanced): Go to Suiluo City]
[Status: Completed]
[Quest rewards have been distributed to the system space]
The system that had been silent for a long time suddenly appeared, startling Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin looked at the longevity lock in the system space, and her thoughts wandered to Sister Zhang again.
"Girl, Liu Gongzi is here." The man who asked for help called Qiao Qixin out of the car.
He took Georgette to an inn and left alone.
Qiao Qixin looked at the inn in front of her, and was a little hesitant in her heart.
How can this inn look even more humble than the Fusheng Inn?
"Huh? Qi Xin? Liu Zhan, who walked out of the inn with a bamboo slip under his arm, saw Qiao Qixin who was hesitating to go in at the door.
"Liu Zhan." Qiao Qixin shouted, "Father-in-law Kun Bai asked me to help you." ”
"Father-in-law? That old man made you shout like that? Liu Zhan raised his eyebrows.
Qiao Qixin nodded.
"It's his style." Liu Zhan said, "You are the only one who came?" ”
Qiao Qixin nodded again.
"It's his style." Liu Zhan said again.
Qiao Qixin suddenly thought that she was trapped in some kind of strange time cycle.
"Did you bring pen and ink?" Liu Zhan asked.
Qiao Qixin patted the bag she was carrying, "Bring it." ”
She is a painter, except for coming over to paint, Qiao Qixin doesn't know what else she can help.
Liu Zhan nodded and said, "Okay, follow me." ”
Liu Zhan led Qiao Qixin down the street.
There are very few people on the streets of Suiluo City, let alone vendors.
Anyway, it's empty, and it's not popular.
"Haven't you only been here for a long time? Why do you need to help? Qiao Qixin was curious.
Liu Zhan sighed and talked to Qiao Qixin.
As soon as he entered the city, an axe directly cut through the carriage that Liu Zhan was riding in as a greeting gift.
If he hadn't hid quickly, now Qiao Qixin would have come to collect his body.
Liu Zhan naturally wouldn't let go of the person who threw the axe, and even got out of the carriage and sanctioned the person on the street.
The man struggled, saying that he was forced by someone, and Liu Zhan asked who forced him, but he refused to say.
So Liu Zhan could only tie him up, and then rented an inn and put it in the backyard of the inn.
This one alone is okay, just when Liu Zhan was about to go to talk to the city lord of Suiluo City, another dark arrow shot at him.
The arrow was so powerful that if he hadn't dodged it quickly, he would have died again.
"And then?" Qiao Qixin asked.
Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin and said, "Then I caught the person who released the dark arrow, and he also said that he was forced, and he also refused to say who forced him." ”
"It's all closed in the courtyard at the back of the inn now." Liu Zhan said.
Qiao Qixin nodded thoughtfully.
The two of them arrived at a mansion.
"Where is this?" Qiao Qixin stepped on his feet and looked at the big "He Fu" on the door panel and asked.
"He Fu, follow the city lord's house in Luocheng." Liu Zhan said, "This is so messy with Luo City, the city lord can't get out of it." ”
With that, Liu Zhan stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door.
"Who! Dare to knock on the door of my house! The sinister soldier pushed the door open from the inside.
"I'm Shaoqing of Dali Temple," Liu Zhan took out the token from his arms and said coldly.
The soldier glanced at the token and confirmed Liu Zhan's identity, but his attitude still did not improve.
"Oh, wait until I go and ask the master of the house." The soldier turned around and entered the He Mansion.
"Why are people so arrogant?" Qiao Qixin was a little surprised.
After all, Liu Zhan is the successor of Dali Temple, no matter how sluggish Dali Temple is, it is also a very powerful position, and that soldier dares to be so disrespectful.
Liu Zhan looked at He Fu quietly, "Suiluo City has long been rotten, after you go in for a while, you have to follow me, no matter who lets you go, you have to refuse." ”
"Okay." Qiao Qixin nodded.
The soldier who went in to report back walked out impatiently, "The head of the family called you in, let's go." ”
Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin nodded slightly, and then followed.
The decoration in the He Mansion is particularly elegant, even if it is almost winter, the color in this courtyard is not a little less.
"Oh, Liu Gongzi is here, and he didn't say anything in advance, and we didn't have any preparations."
A short time after he left, he was greeted by a richly dressed woman.
The soldier who led the way said, "This is our wife." ”
"Hello Mrs. He."
"I've seen Mrs. He."
Liu Zhan and Qiao Qixin said in unison.
"Oh, I'm outside, I'm outside, this girl is?" Mrs. He looked at Liu Zhan with an inquiring gaze.
Liu Zhan said, "This is Qiao Qixin, a newly recruited official painter." ”
Mrs. He nodded and said, "I said how to make a raw face, it turned out to be your new recruit." ”
She covered her mouth and smiled, and then proposed, "Why don't I take this girl to the guest hall to eat some pastries first, and Liu Gongzi, you can talk to my family officials, how about it?" ”
Qiao Qixin remembered Liu Zhan's words, and was about to refuse, so she heard Liu Zhan say first, "Thank you Mrs. He for your kindness, but Qiao Qixin is here with me to assist the city lord in managing Suiluo City, so there are some things that she needs to participate in by the side." ”
Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, "In this way, then I won't bother the two of you, my family official is over there, go quickly." ”
"Thank you, ma'am."
Qiao Qixin followed Liu Zhan and saluted, and then "Da Da Da" followed Liu Zhan's pace.
When there was still some distance from the city lord He, a servant girl was about to hit Qiao Qixin with a plate and without raising her head.
Qiao Qixin reacted quickly, dodged with one dodge, and grabbed the handmaid's waist by the way, stabilizing the plate she was carrying.
"Girl, be careful when you walk." Qiao Qixin said handsomely.
The maid stared blankly at Qiao Qixin's face, and the deer in her heart was bumping.
"How do you walk!" The soldier who led the way walked towards the two with a sinister face.
He stretched out his hand to grab the maidservant, but was stopped by Qiao Qixin.
"Men and women can't kiss!"
The maidservant who was originally going to splash something on Qiao Qixin's body heard this, and instantly turned against her, and took the initiative to fall to the ground, and the liquid in the dish fell to the ground and had no effect.
"Oops! Why are you so careless, girl! Get up! Apologize to Miss Joe. Mrs. He, who was not far away, saw this scene and hurriedly ran over to play a round, for fear that Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan would see something.
Qiao Qixin stretched out her hand and pulled the maid up from the ground, and said with a smile, "It's okay, please don't blame Madame." ”
"Don't blame, don't blame, it's all because I didn't teach well."
Before the words fell, the personal maid beside Mrs. He pulled the water-splashing maid past Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin smiled on her face, saluted and said goodbye to Mrs. He, and then turned to walk towards Liu Zhan.
There were still ten steps left, and at this time, Mrs. He had no choice but to watch Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan enter the room where their officials were.
