Chapter 173: Escape from the Inner City
Qiao Qixin walked into the restaurant she had just looked at with steamed buns.
There was no one in the restaurant, and as soon as she entered, the shopkeeper greeted her warmly.
"What do you want from the guest?"
Qiao Qixin looked at the structure and furnishings of the store, and thought about the escape route in her heart, and didn't notice the shopkeeper in front of her for a while.
"Guest? Guest?" The shopkeeper waved tentatively in front of Qiao Qixin, trying to attract attention.
"Huh?" Qiao Qixin found the shopkeeper in front of her, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, please bring me some fried vegetables and take them away."
"Okay, the guest officer here, please," the shopkeeper pointed to the empty table on the side, and then shouted back, "A fried green vegetable!" Take it away!"
Qiao Qixin looked out of the door vigilantly, and saw that the person chasing her had arrived, so she stood up and asked the shopkeeper, "Little brother, do you know where there is a place to go to the toilet?"
"Ah, on the second floor, guest officer, do you need me to take you there?" The shopkeeper asked.
"No, I'll do it myself." Qiao Qixin waved her hand and refused, and then quickly stepped up the stairs to the second floor.
Just around the corner, Qiao Qixin heard a voice from below.
"Hey, have you seen a woman with a veil? Where did you go?"
"Here, I don't know what the few people are looking for that guest officer?"
Ping!
"Don't ask what you shouldn't know, say it!"
"Yes, yes, I said, the guest officer said he was going to the toilet and went up to the second floor."
Qiao Qixin stopped eavesdropping, and went up to the second floor in two steps and one step.
She looked left and right and saw that the hallway was lined with private rooms on both sides, and the toilet was on the left side of the stairs.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Qixin chose to try her luck in an empty box.
As it turned out, she had the right choice.
As soon as the people chasing her jumped into the toilet on the second floor, regardless of whether there was anyone or not, they kicked open every cubicle for inspection, causing the customers inside to scream and scold constantly. Z.br>
"Boss, no!"
"Damn it, it must be here! Search for me! Search in the box! I can't find it, you don't fucking want to have good fruit to eat!"
"Yes!"
Qiao Qixin, who was attached to the door of the box, hurriedly checked to see if there was an exit from this box.
There is a window.
Georgette had a strange premonition that she was about to jump out of the window again.
She looked down through the window, and below was an alley, a little high.
Listening to the movement outside the door, I was about to find out the box where Qiao Qixin was staying.
There is no time to hesitate.
Qiao Qixin opened the window, grabbed the edge of the window, adjusted her posture, and climbed out of the window, hanging outside.
Fingers clawed at the window.
Qiao Qixin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and released her fingers holding the edge of the window.
"Knock"
The butt with the most meat hits the ground first.
Georgette felt a little stiff in her waist.
She hissed, then stood up from the ground with her waist on her back.
The limbs were normal and there was no pain.
It seems to be not bad. Qiao Qixin said in her heart.
Before she was discovered, Qiao Qixin put on her veil and quickly ran to Liu Zhan's residence.
Inside the restaurant
"What about people! The person I asked you to find!" The man at the head angrily scolded the rows of incompetent subordinates in front of him.
The subordinates lowered their heads, "Boss, we have searched the second floor, and there is really no such woman."
"What about her? Tell me what about her!" The man at the head turned red with anger, "It's all for Lao Tzu to go to the city to find!" If you turn Lao Tzu upside down, you have to find her out for Lao Tzu!"
"Yes!"
The subordinates immediately scattered in all directions.
——
"Liu Zhan, I bought the medicine back."
Qiao Qixin quickly turned around and bolted the door, and then took out the medicine bag from the system space.
It's noon, and it's time to boil the medicine.
Liu Zhan coughed, holding on to the wall and barely walked out, "Thank you for your hard work, cough cough...... Did you encounter any accidents on the way?"
Qiao Qixin's hand that was about to boil the medicine paused, "I think we should leave quickly."
"Why?" Liu Zhan was a little puzzled.
"When I was buying medicine today, I met Liu Zhan, and he also sent someone to hunt me down." Qiao Qixin lowered her eyes.
"What?!" Liu Zhan was a little emotional, and coughed violently, "Cough, cough, cough...... Are you okay then?"
Qiao Qixin glanced at Liu Zhan, "Can I come over if I have something?"
Liu Zhan scratched his head in embarrassment.
Gollum ......
The water was boiling, the herbs were boiling inside, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.
After staying up for a long time, it's finally better.
Qiao Qixin opened the lid of the pot, took out the medicine and poured it into the bowl.
A bowl full of black-brown medicinal soup was sent to Liu Zhan.
Liu Zhan looked at this bowl of medicine that was obviously more sufficient, and hesitated a little.
The Adam's apple rolled, Liu Zhan was ruthless, raised his head and drank all the medicinal soup.
"Hoo ......"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Zhan always felt that there seemed to be a lot of steam coming out of his body, and his body was warm and comfortable.
"How do you feel?" Qiao Qixin said with concern.
"Ahem...... I feel so much better, my body is hot and comfortable." Liu Zhan said.
Although my body is no longer cold, I still have some cough.
Qiao Qixin nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with this prescription, I will boil it for you in the evening."
"Okay." Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin with gentle eyes.
"Liu Zhan!"
There was a shout outside the door, followed by a knock.
Qiao Qixin pressed Liu Zhan, who was about to respond, coughed lightly and changed her voice to speak, "Who? Who is Liu Zhan?"
The voice outside the door was stunned, "I'm Jiang Ai? Who are you?"
Qiao Qixin didn't answer, walked to the door and saw through the crack in the door that it was indeed Jiang Ai, a big resentment, so she took off the latch and opened the door for him.
"How are you? You made that voice just now?" Jiang Ai pointed at Qiao Qixin and said in shock.
Qiao Qixin nodded, "How's that?" Isn't it completely different from my usual voice?"
"It's so different, I almost thought I was in the wrong place." Jiang Ai brought a small horse to sit in the courtyard.
Qiao Qixin noticed that Liu Zhan's eyes were also a little curious and surprised when she looked at her, so she took the lead in speaking, "What's wrong? You're shocked by me, too?"
Liu Zhan looked away, coughed twice, and said, "Yes, I didn't expect you to have this kind of skill."
"I'll have more, and you'll be surprised by the others." Qiao Qixin said proudly.
Jiang Ai looked at the two of them with disgust.
"By the way, I sent someone to bring us food, remember to take it later, and," Jiang Ai looked at Qiao Qixin and said seriously, "Are you being chased?"
Qiao Qixin was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he nodded and said, "Well, I met Ling Dian on the road, he seemed to find out that I was Qiao Qixin, and sent someone to chase me, but I got rid of him."
"Are you sure you got rid of it?" Jiang Ai asked again.
Qiao Qixin was a little unsure when he asked like this, "It should be, right?"
"Clean up, let's change places." Jiang said.
Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan glanced at each other and agreed to Jiang Ai's proposal.
The three of them simply packed up and left the zero-hour residence with their things on their shoulders.
As soon as the front foot walked, the back foot Ling Dark came to this place.
Ling Di stood at the door, looking at the empty room, his eyes slightly darkened.
"Castle Lord......
Ling Dian raised his hand and stopped the words of his subordinates behind him.
He came to the wall, kicked hard under his feet, and flew up the wall.
Through the wall, Ling Di stood on the roof and found Joe carrying something on his back
There are three of them.
He stood on a high place, staring at the three ants, who were stumbling down the road with something on their backs.
"Qiao Qixin......" Ling secretly read Qiao Qixin's name slowly, "I'm a little interested in you."
——
Under the leadership of Jiang Ai, Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan came to their new residence.
This place is similar to the original one, just as broken.
But now in this situation of semi-escape, I don't have to choose, I can only survive.
Qiao Qixin put down her bags and took out the moldy quilt in the house and patted it to dust.
"Ahem......
The dust was filled, and Liu Zhan coughed uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Qiao Qixin untied the veil, folded it into several layers, and gave it to Liu Zhan.
"Cover your mouth and nose before you put it to block the ashes," Qiao Qixin saw Liu Zhan cover it well, and slapped the moldy quilt again, "The house is also full of dust, and it will be windy for a while."
Liu Zhan covered his mouth and nose and nodded obediently.
"That's right, Jiang Ai." Qiao Qixin, who was slapping the quilt, suddenly called Jiang Ai's name.
Jiang Ai was stunned for a moment, got up and said, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you want to post that bill, give me the bill, and I'll keep it for you." Georgette said, "Of course, if you don't believe me, forget it."
Qiao Qixin was also afraid that the three of them would be exposed, and if the bill was in Jiang Ai's hands, it would inevitably be taken away.
But if it's in her own place, you can put it in the system space, and no one can force it to take it except her.
Hearing this, Jiang Ai lowered his eyes and thought about it, took out the bill from his arms and handed it to Qiao Qixin.
He looked at the bill and reluctantly instructed, "You must keep it, this is the only evidence of my family's name."
"No problem, with me, you can rest assured." Georgette put the bill away.
On the surface, she put the bill in her bag, but in fact, she put it into the system space.
"My men have inquired that in two days, Ling Dian will hold a huge event." Jiang said.
"Two days later?" Qiao Qixin said, "It's not a festival in two days, what will you do?"
"Isn't there a resurgence of the plague in the city recently, he wants to stabilize the people's hearts and take this opportunity to issue a new prescription."
Jiang said.
Georgette slapped the quilt, "Isn't that good? Or, what do you want to do at the meeting?"
Jiang Ai didn't answer, but looked at Liu Zhan, "Lord Liu Zhan, can you help me?"
"What do you want to do?" Liu Zhan coughed twice.
Jiang Ai lowered his eyes, then opened his eyes and said seriously, "I want to announce the bill at the meeting!"
"But what if it's announced?" Qiao Qixin poured cold water, "Ling Dian has a prescription for curing the disease in his hand, and your bill is already a matter for the elders."
Jiang Ai's brows furrowed, a little displeased, but he didn't show it.
"Of course I know it's the seniors' business, but these things always have to break out, don't they? Is it possible that my Jiang family will wear the hat of "corruption" for the rest of their lives?" Jiang Ai replied.
"Jiang Ai, calm down, I'm not saying that you made a mistake in posting the bill, but that you made a mistake in choosing to post it at a banquet held in the dark."
"That banquet is the owner of Ling Dark, and you also said that he will announce a new prescription at the banquet."
"You chose to blow up the bill at this time, and it didn't make much difference, understand?"
Qiao Qixin looked at Jiang Ai and said seriously, "Think about it, who would you pay attention to when you think about an elder's bill and the prescription you can use to save your life now?"
"I understand that you want to justify your family's name, but you can't rush it or have no plan."
"In addition, from your decision, I have discovered, or rather think, that you may have some past grudges against Ling Dark."
"What?" Jiang Ai frowned, pointed at Qiao Qixin and said, "You say it again?"
"I say, do you have a grudge against Ling Dian in the past?" Georgette repeated indifferently.
Jiang Ai was angry
Trembling, teeth clashing, "Don't talk nonsense! Lord Liuliu still thinks so highly of you! Now it seems that you are just a straw bag made up!"
