Ling Di came back again after a pillar of incense.

He carried a packet of rice balls, a handful of lamb skewers and pastries.

"Hey, that's going to be fine, let's eat." Ling Dian placed the food on the stake.

As if he was afraid that Qiao Qixin and the others would not eat it, he also took the lead in taking a little rice ball and meat skewers and eating them in front of them.

Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan glanced at each other, and Liu Zhan nodded slightly.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and feeling dark, Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan finished eating the meals and meat skewers brought by Ling Di.

After eating, Qiao Qixin took a piece of mung bean cake and gnawed it slowly.

Because there were only Ling Dian and Liu Zhan in the house, and these two people didn't pay attention to etiquette, no one cared about Qiao Qixin doing this.

Ling walked into the house in the dark.

Qiao Qixin tried to squint, trying to see what Ling Di was going to do.

I saw him bend down and pull out a few small wooden stakes from somewhere, as if by magic.

Then the small stakes were put together, and the borrowed quilt was laid on top.

In this way, a simple cot was born.

Immediately, Ling Dian concocted the same method and made a second simple cot.

He yawned, took off his coat, and lay down on his cot. Z.br>

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Ling Dian suddenly sat up and turned his head to look at Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan.

Qiao Qixin's heart was a little furious when she was looked at by Ling Dark, "What's wrong? See what we're doing?"

Ling Dian straightened his long loose hair, "Aren't you two sleeping yet? It's all dark."

He paused, then added, "I don't have any oil lamps for you two."

Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan struggled in place for a moment, and then took off his coat and lay down on the simple small bed.

"Ah...... This ......."

Qiao Qixin looked at the remaining simple bed, silently pushed the bed to the other side, and then took off her coat and lay down with as little movement as possible.

The hard wooden stakes, even if there are several layers of bedding, Qiao Qixin can feel the pain of the back being separated.

She couldn't help but sigh and silently comforted herself for the past few days.

Just as Qiao Qixin was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly heard a voice behind her, "Have you slept—"

It's not loud or small, but it's suitable for temptation.

Qiao Qixin's consciousness was awakened by this voice, but she didn't respond, but closed her eyes, wanting to see what Ling Dian was going to do.

It's just that this voice doesn't sound like it's dark, could it be someone else?

Qiao Qixin forcibly suppressed her curiosity and forced herself to close her eyes.

"Childe, they all seem to be asleep."

Son?

Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

This time, the voice didn't sound like Ling Dark.

"Let's go and explore." Another airy channel.

Qiao Qixin was even more puzzled.

Why is there more than one more?

The sound of footsteps behind him came, and Qiao Qixin could feel the vibration of the ground.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, and Qiao Qixin's hand shrunk in the quilt clenched silently, and her nails were pinched into her palms, using pain to ensure her emotional stability.

Vaguely, Qiao Qixin felt that she was standing alone in front of her.

She could hear the man's heavy breathing, and the sound of clothes and fabrics rubbing against each other.

"Hey."

Qiao Qixin felt a finger poke into her nose.

She pinched her palms and resisted the urge to open her eyes.

"I know you're awake, your eyelashes moving."

Qiao Qixin was startled and almost opened her eyes.

No, it's so dark, he can't see my face clearly.

Secretly stabilizing her mind, Qiao Qixin lay on the bed, her eyes closed, as if she was really asleep.

The man seemed to straighten up.

He stood next to Qiao Qixin for a while, then returned to "Childe" and reported, "Childe, the painter is asleep."

"Childe, so are Ling Dian and Liu Gongzi."

Another humane.

Qiao Qixin's eyes moved slightly.

Wow, there are three more.

She pricked up her ears and eavesdropped more closely.

"Okay, lock the door for me, and burn it down while they're asleep!" The boy lowered his voice.

Oh no.

Qiao Qixin silently lit a sky lantern for herself and Ling Di and Liu Zhan in her heart—although the fire hadn't burned yet.

The three exited the hut and closed the door.

Qiao Qixin opened her eyes, and then the sound of a chain locking the door came from her ears.

There are no windows in this house, only a door and an exit.

Qiao Qixin sat up from the bed and looked at the three figures outside the door.

"Liu Zhan...... Huh?" Qiao Qixin sneaked to Liu Zhan's bedside, and when she was about to wake him up, she found that Liu Zhan had already opened her eyes.

Looking at Ling Dian again, Ling Dian had already sat up from the bed, his face a little ugly.

As soon as Qiao Qixin was about to speak, Ling Dian put her index finger to her lips and motioned for her not to speak yet.

"Sting-"

Flames lit up outside the door.

The house, which had long been splashed with fuel, was instantly covered in flames.

Qiao Qixin looked at the two who were still sitting on the bed and asked, "Are we not leaving?"

By this time, black smoke had seeped into the room through the crack in the door.

Ling Di still gently put his index finger to his lips, "Be obedient, lie down."

"What?" Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

Liu Zhan also looked at Qiao Qixin and nodded.

Qiao Qixin frowned slightly, but still complied with the two of them and lay back on the bed.

Clutching the futon, Qiao Qixin's heart was still uneasy.

Why can you walk but don't?

Billowing smoke invaded every part of the air, filling the room by this time, and in a few moments the fire would burn in.

Qiao Qixin covered her mouth and nose with a futon, delaying the inhalation of smoke and dust.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and I'll run.

Qiao Qixin said secretly.

She doesn't want to die here, even if she cooperates, she has to have a degree.

It only took a few breaths before someone suddenly kicked the door open with a rough kick.

Then a thunderclap came from outside.

"Castle Lord! The little ones are too late!"

A loud shout came from the door.

In the next second, Qiao Qixin was carried from the bed with a futon.

"Uh-huh???

She sat up in confusion, and found that it was four soldiers, each carrying a horn, and carried her out of the fire house.

The raging fire completely engulfed the hut.

Many people in the city ran out of their homes, and when they saw that it was Ling Dian's house that was burned, they all scolded angrily.

"Which ***, it actually burned to our city lord's head!"

"Yes! This must be investigated! You can't just forget it!"

"Damn, if you catch Lao Tzu, you have to beat him half to death!"

The soldiers carrying Qiao Qixin put her on the side of the road, and then Liu Zhan was also carried out and placed next to her.

Georgette sat on the futon, wrapped in a quilt, still circled.

"Don't understand?" Liu Zhan said as he handed her the clothes that Qiao Qixin had left inside.

Georgette: !

She took it, got into the quilt and dressed herself, and then walked out of it.

Qiao Qixin stood silently against the wall.

Liu Zhan put on his coat and also stood aside.

For some reason, Ling Dian hadn't been lifted out yet.

"Before going to bed, Ling Dian told me, Jiang Ai

There may be action tonight."

"What? Jiang Ai?" Qiao Qixin was surprised.

"Shhhh Liu Zhan reminded, "Yes, it's Jiang Ai."

"He, wasn't he caught by the dark people and drugged? How can you still ......?"

Qiao Qixin's brows furrowed, and her heart was like a mess intertwined and knotted, and she couldn't figure out the slightest clue.

"Yes, he was taken to dome." Liu Zhan lowered his eyes, "But at night, he was rescued."

"What?" Qiao Qixin was even more puzzled, "Isn't his family already in decline? How could anyone still save him?"

"I don't know about this, it's just that after the decline of the Jiang Ai family, they have always coveted the position of Ling Dark's city lord, so they have repeatedly searched for people to bring Ling Dian down."

Liu Zhan paused and said, "That's what Ling Dian told me."

"When? How did I not know?" Qiao Qixin frowned.

Didn't these two people ever leave me? How did Liu Zhan talk so much to Ling Dark?

Confused, puzzled.

Very confused, very puzzled.

"You seem to be asleep at the time, so you didn't participate or hear."

"How so? I slept after you......

The more she talked about the back, the weaker Qiao Qixin's voice became.

Could it really be that I'm mistaken?

Qiao Qixin frowned and tapped her brain.

"Castle Lord! Castle Lord, are you alright?"

At this time, Ling Di, whose face was covered with black and ash, was carried out.

His hair was still dripping, as if he had been accidentally injured by water just when he was putting out the fire.

Ling Di looked weak, standing on the ground and being supported by a soldier, coughing violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

Qiao Qixin was puzzled.

"Isn't he awake too? Why did you get it like this?"

When Liu Zhan heard this, he didn't explain, just shook his head, and motioned to Qiao Qixin to take a closer look at Ling Di's next operation.

Qiao Qixin looked at Ling Di.

Ling Di was still coughing, and he didn't stop until he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The people of Lin'an City around him saw that he vomited blood, and they were all in a hurry, and one by one they stepped forward to surround Ling Dark, and several Lang Zhong in the city were also called over voluntarily or by the people.

Lieutenant Lang surrounded Liu Zhan in the center and checked his pulse, and several women brought a new quilt from their house that had not been touched and wrapped Ling Dian in case he caught a cold.

There were also a few girls who didn't care about etiquette and took towels to wipe Ling Dark's hair frantically.

For a while, the people seemed to be twisted into a rope, taking care of Ling Di in an orderly manner.

After a while, the hot brown sugar ginger tea was served, and Ling Dian was forced to pour several sips.

"Castle Lord! The arsonist has been found!" An angry shout came from not far away.

Hearing the prestige, a few sturdy soldiers came over directly with the thin and small three.

"Hurry up!" The soldier urged dissatisfied.

Qiao Qixin squinted and looked carefully, wasn't one of the people who was being pressed exactly, Jiang Ai?

"Is that Jiang Ai?"

Afraid that she wouldn't see it really, Qiao Qixin turned her head and asked Liu Zhan on the side.

Liu Zhan clasped his hands around his chest, and nodded when he saw Qiao Qixin looking at him.

"You're the dog that burned our city lord's house?" An uncle rolled up his sleeves and came to Jiang Ai angrily.

"Ling Dian is not the city lord! The city lord of Lin'an City, there is only the surname Jiang!!" Jiang Ai shouted loudly.

Everyone frowned, and then they all said angrily.

"What are you talking about?"

"What is the Jiang family! How long has he oppressed our people? I'm sorry to say it!"

"You are a descendant of the Jiang family? That little rabbit cub who refused to accept Ling Cheng's main medicine? Phew!"

"How dare you be dissatisfied with City Lord Ling? If it weren't for the Ling City Lord, you wouldn't have known where you would die

Go!"

The people, you scolded Jiang Ai every word.

Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan, "Didn't the former Jiang City Lord say that he was a Qing official? Why did these people react so much when they saw his descendants?"

Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin, "You forgot? The Jiang City Lord was rumored to be a corrupt official, and the people of Lin'an City had a bad time before, so naturally they blamed the Jiang City Lord."

"It doesn't matter to them what the truth is."
