Hu Tang pulled Xia Qianqian away for a short distance and came to an alley.

He straightened his face and said seriously: "What are you doing when you go to the General's Mansion?"

Xia Qianqian was somewhat wary of Hu Tang's enthusiasm and concern, "Are you following me?"

"I'm protecting you!"

Hu Tang's expression was ugly, and he calmed down the anger in his heart and reminded: "Lanyu, I reminded you not to deal with Mo Yu, let alone people from the government."

"I said, I'm not Lanyu!"

"You are, but you don't remember." He stared at her eyes and emphasized.

"What do you want from me?" Xia Qianqian didn't want to get entangled with him.

"When someone assassinated Cao Ran, a knife was left at the scene. Now the editor is comparing the fingerprints on the knife to see if they are consistent with Luo Hong's?"

This Hu Tang is not simple. There are secret clues about him in the mansion of the generals.

Xia Qianqian looked at him quietly, "What does this matter have to do with me?"

"I think you should remember that in the middle of last month, the Jade-Faced Immortal Lord held talks with the bandits on the Fu'an River."

"I've heard about it." She didn't remember the specific matter.

"The contents of the ship where the Jade-Faced Immortal Lord will be staying have been kept sealed as physical evidence. Yesterday, I went to collect fingerprints on the ship."

Hu Tang looked at Xia Qianqian with inexplicable worry in his eyes, "I think if you are suspected, someone will try to collect your fingerprints and come here to remind you."

In this way, she shot herself in the foot by reminding Ji Zimo to check his fingerprints.

"Thank you!"

Xia Qianqian gave him a blessing and turned to leave. He reached out and grabbed her sleeve again, "Lanyu, you always liked to go to the Fu'an River and look into the distance. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand everything."

"Don't worry!" He assured: "I will definitely help you find your father."

"Thank you!" She didn't know what to say to Hu Tang except thanking her.

After all, the person he treats affectionately is not her.

Even if that person is Xia Qianqian, he is still the original owner and has nothing to do with her.

"Here you eat this!" He took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"What?" Xia Qianqian opened it and saw that it was a bag of honey cakes.

This person still cares about her hobbies.

Last time, it was just at a dinner party. I ate a few more pieces and he discovered it.

"Try it!" After hesitation, Hu Tang picked up a piece and handed it to her mouth.

Xia Qianqian is a little restrained.

She is very bad at rejecting such an enthusiastic person, not to mention that he is very handsome.

After hesitating, Hu Tang urged again: "Come on, open your mouth, quickly! Be good!"

Does this person really think she is a child?

Xia Qianqian reluctantly opened her mouth just now.

At the entrance of the alley, "pop", there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a stone happened to hit the honey cake.

Hu Tang winced in pain, and the honey cake fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Turning around, he saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe standing tall, looking coldly at this side.

Although he didn't say a word, the cold air emanating from his body made people shudder.

"Come here!" He stared at her and ordered domineeringly.

This person doesn’t look easy to mess with.

Xia Qianqian raised her eyes to look at him and walked forward slowly.

Behind him, Hu Tang grabbed her sleeve. Xia Qianqian turned around and handed over the oil paper bag in his hand, "Remember, eat."

He was clearly talking about honey cake, but Xia Qianqian knew what he was referring to.

"Okay."

She took the oil-paper bag, moved slightly, and came to Ji Zimo, saying, "Mr. Mo, what a coincidence, I meet you here again."

Ji Zimo looked at Hu Tang in the distance and sneered, "What a coincidence."

Xia Qianqian followed his gaze and smiled, "If you have anything to discuss with Mr. Hu, then I will leave first."

Ji Zimo was angry with her.

He reached out and grabbed the collar of the back of her neck and said coldly: "I'm looking for you, not him."

The two walked a few steps, turned a corner, and boarded the Qing tent carriage at the entrance of the alley.

"Go to the General's Mansion!" he ordered.

Geng Zhong, who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, felt the low-pressure anger coming from the young master. He quickly raised his riding whip and rushed to the general's mansion.

Xia Qianqian sat on a low stool on one side and remained silent.

Ji Zimo's eyes kept falling on the oil paper bag in the backpack in front of him.

The atmosphere was dull for a while.

He finally said: "Is it delicious?"

Xia Qianqian raised her eyes, looked at him, and immediately understood what he meant, "I don't know."

I almost ate it just now, but wasn’t it knocked down by him with a stone?

He looks very bad, and I don’t know who provoked him.

Xia Qianqian thought about it, reached out to untie the oil paper bag, and asked, "How about you try it?"

Who wants to try it?

Ji Zi's face was dark, "Don't eat!"

If you don’t want to eat, why are you asking?

Xia Qianqian is a little confused.

The outstretched hand slowly let go.

The General's Mansion was very close. The carriage entered through the side door and went straight to the residence in the backyard.

Ji Zimo got off the carriage with a cold face.

Xia Qianqian followed closely and came to the wing where Cao Ran lived.

Cao Ran, who was in the house, heard the servant coming to report, so he went out barefoot in his middle coat. Just when he was about to see His Highness, he caught a glimpse of Xia Qianqian behind him.

The knees that were about to kneel straightened up again.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said with a straight face, "Master Mo is here to find me. What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty was feeling unwell yesterday, and we came here specially to visit you today. I wonder how you feel?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ran's legs went weak.

Not good.

I got up too quickly just now, now I feel dizzy.

Xia Qianqian, with quick eyesight and quick hands, wanted to step forward to help others, but Ji Zimo stepped in first and held Cao Ran's arm, "I'd better do it."

Cao Ran was so frightened that his legs became even weaker, and he blinked at Geng Zhong vigorously, "Guard Geng, come on, it's better for you to help me."

Geng Zhong held on to the other side, fully aware of the embarrassment of the Lord, straightened his back and said: "Sir, let me do it."

Using both hands, Geng Zhong directly hugged the princess and picked up Cao Ran.

Huh?

Xia Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise.

Such a posture is unbearable to look at.

Cao Ran and Geng Zhong, what a strange CP combination!

Could it be that one artificial respiration bent one of the two people?

Cao Ran accidentally saw Xia Qianqian's eyes, and his old face was expressionless.

"Geng Zhong, put me down quickly. I can leave."

Geng Zhong didn't listen to him. He hugged him and put him on the couch. He bowed his hands and said, "Sir, it's me who has offended you."

No, this is nothing to offend.

The expression on Cao Ran's face cannot be described in words.

"Ahem..." Xia Qianqian pretended to cough twice to break the awkward situation and said: "Sir, you fell into a coma yesterday due to the recurrence of an old injury. Being able to wake up today is a blessing among misfortunes. Allow me to give you some advice today.
