When Er Gouzi went shopping, he still vowed that he would find him back, but now he was nowhere to be seen, which is really worrying.

Ji Zimo was silent for a while, then greeted: "It's getting late, you go back first."

He turned around and ordered: "Geng Zhong, send someone to guard here. You can lead a few more people to search for people on the streets."

"Yes."

"Let's go!" Ji Zimo greeted.

The group returned to Xia Mansion.

Li Yunniang and others were busy cooking. After a while, several people sat around the dining table and had dinner.

During this period, there was no news about Ergouzi.

Seeing that the adults were all worried, Yuanbao said sadly: "Mom, I am so young. I play on the street and know the way home even when it gets dark. Brother Ergouzi is so old, how can he not know the way?"

His words made the atmosphere more solemn.

Could it be that Ergouzi is really in trouble.

"Mom, you guys go to bed first, I'll go to the Mo Mansion next door to find out the news."

Xia Qianqian stood up, walked through the small door, and met a guard in green clothes. He saluted respectfully and said: "Miss Xia, your highness, Guard Geng and others have not returned."

Not returned?

That means there is no news.

"Oh!"

Xia Qianqian turned around silently and was about to leave when a soft call came from behind her, "Miss Xia."

Xia Qianqian turned around. At the stairs of the second floor, a young man in purple clothes stood there, with a cane under his arms. Under the moonlight, his face was pale, but his eyes were particularly dark.

"Young Master." Xia Qianqian stepped forward and looked him up and down, "He looks a little more energetic today."

"I was eager for quick success some time ago, but I tired you again."

"I'm fine!" She smiled lightly, "For me, this is a small matter, but for you, your body is fundamental. If you don't take good care of it, you will be the most harmed."

The girl in front of him was clearly three years younger than him, but he listened to her scolding without any trace of annoyance or dissatisfaction.

"You..." After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "I heard that your hot and sour noodle shop is going to open in the future?"

"Yeah."

"Do you plan to live in Jiangcheng for the rest of your life?"

"Ah?" Xia Qianqian was always wary when facing He Hongfei.

Because he has a paranoid and unexplainable feeling for the Jade-faced Immortal.

Call it hate, he was always mentioned when he was sick.

Let’s talk about love. When he mentions the Jade-faced Immortal, there is always a hint of resentment hidden in his words.

She didn't know what kind of identity he played as the Jade-faced Immortal Lord in He Hongfei's perception.

In any case, she doesn't want to be his scapegoat.

"It's very nice here!" Xia Qianqian raised her head, looking at the bright moon in the dark night sky, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "The air here is fresh, the four seasons are like spring, the stars in the sky are always so bright, and the stars in the Fu'an River are The fish are always so plump."

"I have relatives, friends, and property here, where else can I go?"

"You and His Highness are in love, do you want to marry him?"

Xia Qianqian was stunned.

People in ancient times were implicit in their speech.

This is the first person she has met who asked such a straightforward question.

"If he is willing to marry, I am willing to marry, which is not bad."

"Then you know that as a virtuous princess, she must live in the capital, stay in the virtuous prince's palace, and handle all affairs in the palace."

This...

Xia Qianqian also thought about what life will be like after marriage?

Capital?

It was the most prosperous place in Daqian Kingdom, so she naturally yearned for it.

However, if Xia Chi does not return for a day, Li Yunniang must not want to go with her, so she will not leave alone.

Going to the capital, she thinks, will happen in a few years, and there is no need to consider it now.

Seeing her hesitation, He Hongfei whispered: "Fan Shan was wiped out, and His Highness could have returned to the capital. But after so long, he is still unwilling to set off. A large part of the reason is you."

He Hongfei paused and said in a deep voice: "His Highness can't stay here for a long time. You'd better make complete plans."

Xia Qianqian's heart sank as she understood what he meant.

"My mother is still waiting for me, I'll go back first." She turned around and left gracefully.

He Hongfei leaned on crutches and walked a few steps forward, looking at her back until she disappeared through the small door.

He looked down at his unruly legs and sighed.

After not sleeping well all night, Xia Qianqian ran to Mo Mansion early the next day to inquire about the news.

Ji Zimo went to the General's Mansion and Geng Zhong was not there either. She was still in the yard and met He Hongfei who was practicing walking.

Xia Qianqian said hello and was about to leave, but he called her back and asked, "Are you very concerned about that Ergouzi?"

"He's just a child."

"You are not much older than him." He Hongfei muttered: "Don't forget, he is always from Fanshan."

He is reminding her.

Fanshan people were what people once called Fanshan bandits.

"He lives in Fanshan, but he is different from those bandits." Xia Qianqian emphasized: "Besides, he is mine now."

"People should not be judged by their appearance. The more you believe in someone you love deeply, the more deeply they may hurt you." He reminded with a pun.

Xia Qianqian turned her head, staring at him with dark eyes inexplicably, without saying a word, and turned around and left.

As soon as she returned to Xia Mansion, a group of people surrounded her.

Uncle Wang also came. When he heard that the boy was missing, he slapped his thigh and said angrily: "That troublemaker has been in trouble all day, and now he has caused trouble again."

While complaining, he also worried: "Either I deliver the milk and go around the streets to look for him."

Li Yunniang nodded, "Uncle Wang, if you have been with Ergouzi for a long time, you will definitely know his preferences, so you can go and find them. Why don't we go and find them separately."

"No need!" Xia Qianqian kept thinking about He Hongfei's words, always feeling that he seemed to want to hint at something to her.

"Mom, you go to the 'Jia Fa' shop as usual," Xia Qianqian ordered: "It's time to go to school and do business. I'll go to the General's Mansion."

"Yes!" Li Yunniang's eyes lit up, "You are familiar with the General. If you ask him for help, you will definitely find Ergouzi as soon as possible."

A group of people separated at the fork of the alley, and Xia Qianqian turned around and headed towards the Shenjiang Mansion.

……

In an abandoned woodshed of a house in Jiangcheng, someone threw a bowl of water on the ground. The person hiding in the woodpile jumped out like a dog, picked up the bowl, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.

Ergouzi, who was knocked unconscious and left in the firewood shed all night without eating or drinking, finally looked up.

In the dazzling sunlight, a burly man stood in the doorway. Under the backlight, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

"My hero, please spare my life, my hero, please spare your life."

Ergouzi was knocked unconscious when he passed by an alley yesterday. He just woke up and saw the person coming and thought he had met a robber.

Jiangcheng is said to be a place with good security, but there are actually robbers, and he even encountered them.

Really, he has been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
