Chapter 48 Isn’t country more important than beauty? (5)

Qiao Xi opened the door and took a look at the bloody scene downstairs, then closed the door silently, hid in a corner, and prepared to sleep.

Such a scene was not suitable for her. She comforted herself while finding a comfortable seat.

Not long after I closed my eyes, I heard the woodshed door creaking, and then I saw the madam closing the door stealthily. Instead of paying attention to the servant lying on the ground, I directly moved the sandbags in the corner.

open.

There is a secret door here!

Qiao Xi opened her eyes wide and was prepared to watch the madam's fat body enter, and she would run around in circles anxiously.

If you follow her, you won't be able to beat her. If you don't follow her, you won't be convinced even if you watch her slip away in front of you.

Just when she lifted up her skirt and was about to follow, someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

"No need to follow."

In her confused expression, the man explained, "You have to be by my side to protect me. There are assassins who want to kill me."

Qiao Xi thought for a while, yes, this brothel is not even a side mission, how can it be as important as protecting the host.

She hugged him behind her and stared at the door nervously.

[I had sprinkled tracking powder on the old bustard’s clothes a long time ago, just to let her lead me to find the Anhehui’s lair so that I could annihilate her in one fell swoop. If I hadn’t stopped this little girl just now, my plan might have been ruined.]

Hearing his inner voice, Qiao Xi turned to look at him, her eyes a little more unconvinced.

Qi Anze looked at her openly, not expecting that his thoughts had been peeped just now.

But before she had time to get angry, a poisonous arrow passed through the door and window with a 'whoosh' sound, past her face and inserted into the window frame behind Qi Anze.

Qiao Xi quickly pulled the man to the corner and stacked the sacks from the woodshed into a military plot.

Then push the guard who fainted on the ground into the secret door.

Looking at the skinny little girl at hand, she thought over and over again and decided to throw her in together.

Unexpectedly, the girl woke up at this time and struggled to run. She was frightened by an arrow shot at her feet and softened her body, so she stopped struggling.

Qi Anze looked at more and more arrows and signaled her to knock the person unconscious and drag him over.

Just like this, a man and two girls hid in the fence until General Yuchi eliminated the people outside and came to rescue them, and they were able to escape.

"My lord, what shall we do with these people?" the young general in black asked, pointing to the men in black and the members of the Peace Society kneeling on the ground.

"Those from the Peace Society will be sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. As for these men in black, take them back and keep them under strict supervision. Don't use torture or let them seek death."

Qiao Xi looked at the man's resolute profile, and she vaguely felt that the host must have known who wanted to kill him, and he must have set a trap for him.

"And after you find the hiding place of the madam, don't act rashly. You must find the person behind her before taking action."

After Qi Anze whispered in the general's ear, he changed his clothes and prepared to return to the palace.

After coming out, he looked at the girl looking out the window with a sad face. He smiled and asked in a gentle tone, "Little secret guard, do you want to accompany me into the palace?"

After getting along with her for this period of time, he believed that the other party would not hurt him. As for her identity, he would know it clearly when he returned to the palace and met his mother-in-law.

[If you are not my grandmother’s secret guard, you have lied to me before, and you can deal with it as soon as you find out.]

Qiao Xi originally wanted to be polite, but was afraid of arousing his suspicion, but he didn't expect that the other party gave him a single proposition, so he couldn't go without it.

She nodded obediently.

But she didn't expect that the mute girl would be among those returning to the palace. She had already washed the dirt off her face and changed into beautiful clothes.

Although she was still timid, the pink and white gauze skirt still made her fair cheeks look like peach blossoms, making her elegant and soft.

But standing next to Qiao Xi, who is wearing a goose-yellow dress and is flamboyant, she looks like a charming and willful young lady and her maid.

In the carriage, Qiao Xi asked the man with a puzzled look, "Why do you want to take Xiao Wei back too?"

"The palace is no better than the outside. You have been raised outside by your grandmother since you were a child, so the rules are naturally a little worse. With this girl as a foil, you can be less disciplined by your grandma."

"Discipline?" Josie exclaimed, "I am your personal bodyguard, why should I be disciplined by grandma?"

The ancient etiquette system is the most annoying. If this small world didn't have a lot of experience points and it was an empty structure, she wouldn't have chosen it. Why is there an extra disciplinarian now?

"Don't worry, it's just some simple etiquette. I will give you instructions and won't embarrass you too much. You are no longer a secret guard. If you want to stay by my side, you must have a reasonable identity."

Qiao Xi: "..." Is it the mother-in-law who will cause trouble, or are you letting the mother-in-law make trouble for me?

The mute girl next to her couldn't speak and could only nod her head, saying that she would do a good job.

Qi Anze looked at the angry girl across from him, and he was even more confused. He was obviously a secret guard, so why was his martial arts so poor and he would only hide when things happened? His performance in the woodshed just now said it all.

But if she was not a secret guard, why did she want to save herself, and who instructed her?





The carriage swayed until it finally arrived in the capital just before dark, and stayed at an ordinary inn.

"This is the private room for the two girls, please."

The guards under him did not know their identities, so they had to arrange them according to the standards of personal maids.

Qiao Xi looked at the residence, which was three rooms away from his host, and shook his head dissatisfied.

"I am the eldest son's personal... bodyguard, and I will be in the same room as the eldest son." After thinking for a long time, the word "maid" still couldn't be said.

"Our general lives next door to the eldest son, so if anything happens, he can be protected as soon as possible."

In the original plot, General Wei Chi encountered an ambush from the second prince on his way back to the palace while protecting his host.

Although he won, he also took away the birthday gift that the host had prepared to give to the emperor.

Although the brothel incident did not last for half a year, preparations for the emperor's birthday had already begun at this time.

Just now she came across a square box in the car. When no one was looking, she opened it and took a look. It was the heirloom treasure described in the original article.

It must have been General Yuchi who found it.

In the original text, the second prince snatched this gift and presented it to the emperor on his birthday, and received a huge reward.

Because the emperor previously said that he would grant a wish to anyone who could find this thing for him.

The host originally wanted to use this wish to exchange for his mother-in-law to leave the cold palace, but unexpectedly she made a wedding dress for someone else. He and the second prince also broke up completely after this incident.

The matter of seizing the direct descendants was also put on the table.

And that thing is so important, the host will definitely keep it by his side.

Wouldn't that be very dangerous!!!

The guard did not listen to her, thinking that she was another girl who dreamed of flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix, so she turned and left.

After a while, he called the mute girl out.

"Didn't the eldest son call me?" Qiao Xi came over obediently.

"Miss Qiao, the eldest son asked Miss Xiao Wei to go over and serve tea. She will be back soon."

Qiao Xi: "..." Don't cry when you lose something.
