"Hey!"

Jiang Ai, who was hiding behind the bushes and secretly watching the movement of the cell door, was slapped on the shoulder by Qiao Qixin without warning.

"Ahh Jiang Ai was startled and almost collapsed in the bushes.

He supported his body with both hands, and gasped to ease his frightened little heart after seeing the comer.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ai patted his chest and stood up from the ground.

"Look who's sneaking around here." Qiao Qixin raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing? Reluctant to be dark, huh?"

Jiang Ai paused, and then retorted with a stiff neck, "What nonsense, it's just that His Highness won't let me go to the dungeon, so I'll just take a look here!"

"Just look! And I came to see it because I happened to be passing by." Jiang Ai flicked his sleeves and snorted.

Qiao Qixin nodded, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, "That's it...... Then you should go back quickly, don't look at it."

Jiang Ai pursed his lips, "If you say you don't watch it, I won't watch it?" I'll just see!"

With that, Jiang Ai crouched back behind the bushes again, staring at the cell door.

Qiao Qixin shrugged, then looked at Liu Zhan, "Let's go." Hey, I wanted to talk about the dark situation, hey......

She shook her head with a pretended sigh, then lifted her foot to leave.

But before the first step was taken, Qiao Qixin's sleeve was pulled by Jiang Ai.

"That ......" Jiang Ai looked directly ahead of him in embarrassment, "Ling, how happened to Ling Dian in prison......

Qiao Qixin snorted, "Your Highness is watching inside, of course there is no problem."

After speaking, Qiao Qixin didn't wait for Jiang Ai to ask again, and left with her feet up.

"What are you doing so fast?" Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, who was pulling him away, and was a little puzzled.

"Come on, come on." Qiao Qixin didn't explain, but took the lead in squatting, and then dragged Liu Zhan to squat down together.

The two squatted in the bamboo forest.

Qiao Qixin looked at Jiang Ai not far away with burning eyes, with an excited face. Z.br>

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhan asked puzzled.

"Shhhhh

She blinked, and pointed at Jiang Ai not far away, motioning for Liu Zhan to look.

Liu Zhan didn't know why, but he still looked in the direction of Qiao Qixin's finger.

Jiang Ai in his eyes was gnawing his fingers, squatting on the ground and seemed very nervous.

But after a while, Jiang Ai stood up from the ground.

He hesitated in place for a long time before he punched his hands as hard as if he had made up his mind.

Then, Jiang Ai walked to the prison door under the gaze of Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan.

He seemed to negotiate something with the guard, but the guard sternly refused, and Jiang Ai turned back with a frustrated face.

"What do you think this is for?" Liu Zhan asked.

Jiang Ai has been hanging around the dungeon every day these days, and it is common to harass the guards to get in.

Qiao Qixin on the side smacked her lips, "Oops, I thought he would sneak in, but I didn't expect to come back after being rejected."

"Let's go, let's go, don't look at it." Qiao Qixin stood up from the ground, "When are we going back to Beijing?" Or when do you say Ling Dian will confess?"

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, "If you want to return to Beijing now, as for when Ling Dian will confess, I guess he will see Jiang Ai."

Hearing this, Qiao Qixin nodded thoughtfully.

She rubbed her chin and thought for a moment, "Then let's wait for Ling Dian to confess before leaving, how about it?"

Liu Zhan nodded, "Okay."

"Hey-no, what should we do if we don't go back to the Dali Temple?" Only then did Qiao Qixin remember that he was still a painter in Dali Temple, and began to think about his own work.

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, "Dali Temple still has my master, he can be alone."

"No, no, no," Qiao Qixin waved her hand with a serious face, "How can you let Dali Siqing have one."

People are busy! In case he is not happy to detain me Fenglu...... Ahem."

Qiao Qixin coughed, trying to hide her inner thoughts that had just been leaked.

"So, let's leave today?" Liu Zhan said tentatively.

Qiao Qixin nodded vigorously, "Okay! Let's go today!"

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin, thought about it and added, "If you don't want to go back so early, we can still stay for a while, if Fenglu wants to detain him, then I will make it up to you."

Qiao Qixin thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go back to Beijing.

"Let's go back to Beijing, there is a prince vortex in Lin'an City, it is not interesting for the two of us to stay, and it will not play a role." Qiao Qixin said.

"Okay." Seeing that Qiao Qixin had already decided, Liu Zhan went with him to arrange rations and horses.

Liu Zhan was busy, and Qiao Qixin was wandering outside alone.

In the charred houses, some of the surviving people rummaged through what they had not had time to get out of their homes.

Qiao Qixin saw a woman with a good face, so she stepped forward curiously to investigate.

"Sister, my man and I came to Anseong to do business, but how is this ......" Qiao Qixin asked, pointing to a pile of wood that had been carbonized.

The woman sighed, "You may not believe it, Lin'an City walked out of the water a few days ago."

"It's so big, so many people have died. This fire was set by our city lord." The woman looked helpless.

"Huh? Your lord put it?" Qiao Qixin was surprised, "Then why do you city lords want to set fires?"

"I don't know this, I heard that it's for his former friend, hey, does this previous incident have anything to do with us? How retribution has come to us, hey!"

The woman sighed as she tugged through the rubble.

"Former friends? What happened before?" Qiao Qixin squatted next to the woman, pulling the ruins with her.

The woman looked around and saw that there was no one, so she leaned into Qiao Qixin's ear and whispered, "I heard that the city lord used to have a friend, but that friend was bullied by our people, and then the city lord has always held a grudge."

"No, after becoming the lord of the city, he burned us with a fire, hey, many people didn't run away and were burned alive."

Qiao Qixin sighed, "This is too frustrating."

The woman sighed, then pulled at what was left of the ruins.

Qiao Qixin came to the side of a gray-faced child, squatted down and asked, "Hey, little friend, do you know Ling Di?"

The little boy clasped his mouth and muttered, "Ling Dark, bad guy, big bad guy!"

Qiao Qixin was puzzled, "Huh? Why is he the big bad?"

"He burned the house, burned, burned ......" The child was not very old, and he couldn't speak clearly, so he jumped out for a long time, "I don't like him!"

Qiao Qixin blinked, then took out a candy from her bosom and stuffed it to the child, and ran to the next target.

"Auntie, what are you doing here?

The eldest lady in front of her was dressed in coarse cloth, her face was full of sadness, and when she heard Qiao Qixin calling herself, she raised her eyes to look at Qiao Qixin, and sighed, "Hey! It's not because of that damn darkness! A fire burned down my house! Now it's good! My son is going to the outer city again! Hey!"

"This group of officials really loves to come by their own temperament! That Ling Dark, say burn, burn, the previous surnamed Jiang, said to collect taxes, collect taxes! It really doesn't matter if we live or die! Hey!"

The eldest lady looked at the ruins in front of her and couldn't stop sighing.

"Eh, auntie," Qiao Qixin leaned closer and asked, "I heard that Ling Di's friend was bullied, so he wanted to burn down here?"

The eldest lady glanced at Qiao Qixin and said angrily, "That's not because the Jiang family is not authentic! We can't live anymore! What's wrong with bullying that kid?!"

"How did you bully you?" Qiao Qixin asked curiously.

The eldest lady waved her hand and sighed, "At that time, I was still young, and I was reckless in doing things, so I followed those people to the Jiang family to ask for money!" The Jiang family refused to give it, so it was

Smashed, robbed. But the Jiang family doesn't have anything, and we don't have anything good."

Qiao Qixin was shocked, how can this robber still suspect that people are poor and have nothing to rob you.

Seeing Qiao Qixin's appearance, the eldest lady sighed and waved her hand, "Hey, but how long has it been since that incident? Ling Dian wants to hold on to it!"

"Look at it, now that we're gone!" The eldest lady clapped her hands and sighed.

Qiao Qixin laughed awkwardly twice to show her agreement, and then hurriedly got up and ran in the direction where Liu Zhan was leading the horse.

"What's wrong? Panting like this?" Liu Zhan saw that Qiao Qixin's face was red, and he couldn't help but ask distressedly.

Qiao Qixin covered her chest and waved her hand, "Let's go, I'll talk to you on the way."

The two of them walked out of the city together.

Qiao Qixin took Liu Zhan's arm, ready to bite her ear, and didn't forget to look back to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

"I just asked three people if they know why Ling Dian burned Lin'an City."

"Huh? What did you ask?" Liu Zhan said.

Qiao Qixin took a breath and replied, "It is said that it was because a friend surnamed Jiang was bullied by the people of Lin'an Chen, and in order to vent his anger to that friend, he sat in the position of the city lord of Lin'an City, and then deliberately set fire to this place."

"A friend surnamed Jiang?" Liu Zhan rubbed his chin, "Jiang Ai?"

Qiao Qixin shook her head, "I don't know, I think it is." Do you want to tell the prince this news?" She looked at Liu Zhan.

Liu Zhan shook his head.

"No, he must have known about it a long time ago, so we don't need to worry about him."

Qiao Qixin nodded.

She originally said it in passing, not to remind the prince of the vortex.

So since Liu Zhan said so, then don't remind it.

The two led the horses out of the gate of Lin'an City.

Georgette got on the horse in style.

Liu Zhan, who was about to help Qiao Qixin, silently withdrew his hand, and then stepped on the horse.

"Drive!"

Georgette whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse let out a long roar, and then quickly rushed out.

"Slow down, if you fall at this speed, you'll hurt badly." Liu Zhan rode his horse and followed behind Qiao Qixin and reminded.

Qiao Qixin felt the wind on the shop, "Liu Zhan, you are my crush, but not my subordinate."

"What?" Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Qiao Qixin's words.

"I said," Qiao Qixin shook her head, "don't be so careful with me, I'm not a porcelain doll."

Liu Zhan looked at Qiao Qixin and was puzzled.

"Oops, forget it." Qiao Qixin waved her hand, "Just remember one thing, I'm not a pampered eldest lady, I'm very resistant, so there's no need to arrange everything for me so carefully, it's okay to be rough."

Liu Zhan was puzzled, but he felt that since Qi Xin said so, he would do it.

So Liu Zhan nodded and replied, "Okay."

The wind in her ears whistled through, and Qiao Qixin controlled the direction of the horses, inexplicably enjoying the pleasure of galloping.

Lin'an City is not far from the capital, and the two of them arrived in half a day.

"Whew—"

Qiao Qixin turned over and dismounted, and Liu Zhan opened the way in front, and she was responsible for leading the horse to the city.

After leashing the horse in a special place, Qiao Qixin and Liu Zhan went to Dali Temple together.

There is still a scene of depression and defeat in Dali Temple, even more depressed than before Qiao Qixin left.

"Yo, you're back?"
