The group of four people did not get on the carriage in the city, but walked slowly towards the city gate, but no one said a word to each other.
Until I met the guard that night at the city gate.
The first person the guard recognized was Qin Chao. He asked respectfully: "Master Qin, are you leaving the city? May I ask someone to clear the way for you?"
Qin Chao smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm sending two distinguished guests out of the city!"
After Qin Chao finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Shixun again, fearing that the 'friend' he just blurted out would be overheard by him.
After hearing what Qin Chao said, the guard secretly complained!
I believe that anyone who has seen Xie Shixun will find it difficult not to be impressed, firstly by the wheelchair, and secondly by his face. The same is true for the guard, but he also has a third point, and that is: his banknote!
Fortunately, he was praying in his heart just now, but God is not on his side at all!
But now that Qin Chao has introduced him, the guard has to explain. Otherwise, given Qin Chao's current status as a "red man" in front of the city lord, if he knew what happened that night, he might not be able to keep his position!
After the guard calmed down, he clasped his fists, bent down, and saluted each of Xie Shixun and Li Xuanxuan: "I didn't know that these two are the distinguished guests of Mr. Qin. I offended you so much that night, please forgive me!"
After saying that, the guard endured the pain of his heart bleeding and took out a wooden box from his arms: "Young Master, please take these back!"
This young master is not the only one who gave me this, but he has been saving for several months, and he originally thought he would take the time to go to the bank to save his life today!
Li Xuanxuan could naturally guess what was inside, and even turned to look at Xie Shixun.
Xie Shixun saw the way her eyes opened when he saw Qian, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but smile. However, he deliberately rubbed her, thinking about it, and then nodded after a while.
Li Xuanxuan immediately turned back happily to take the wooden box. As for the handover, she ignored the guard's strength.
"cough."
As a result, before her hands were warmed, Xie Shixun reached out to her.
Li Xuanxuan: "..."
After handing it over, Li Xuanxuan reluctantly stopped looking at the wooden box. She turned to the guard and asked, "Is this the only entrance and exit to Qinghe City?"
The guard replied: "This place is only open daily."
"That's strange. How could the father and son who were behind us that night be able to enter the city later?"
The guard immediately laughed when he heard this, "This..."
He opened his mouth, but his eyes moved to Qin Chao, as if he was asking. Qin Chao understood and took the initiative to answer: "I think they walked through the waterway."
Waterway? Smuggling?
Qin Chao understood Li Xuanxuan's expression and nodded.
Speaking of which, this road was originally developed by the Qin family, rather than by the ancestors, to facilitate the Qin family's guards to perform various unknown tasks.
Thinking of this, Qin Chao also assured Li Xuanxuan: "Don't worry, young lady, I will speak to the city lord later and thoroughly investigate and seal this illegal business!"
Before Li Xuanxuan could react, the guard's expression had already changed.
He didn't expect that Qin Chao would pay such great attention to these two people! While he was surprised, he was secretly glad that he had just returned the banknote. Otherwise, not only his official position but also his life would have been in danger!
After the four of them successfully passed the city gate, Li Xuanxuan asked Li Sisi and Qin Chao to stay, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Qin sending you off today, we were able to leave the city smoothly and get back the bribes we paid for entering the city."
After hearing this, Qin Chao waved his hands quickly: "Miss, you are joking!"
"Speaking of which, I am still blessed by the eldest lady, otherwise I wouldn't be able to win in this gamble. Now it's just blessings and misfortunes that depend on each other."
"You mean...?"
Qin Chao smiled and said, "Without the city lord, it would be difficult for Li Mansion and I to succeed alone."
I see.
Li Xuanxuan was a little surprised, but also somewhat expected.
After all, she had doubts on the cliff that day, thinking that Li Guangping hadn't seen clearly...
Now it seems that Qin Changsheng's ambition and misbehavior over the years must have made the Lord of Qinghe City unhappy.
Know how to tolerate, be good at planning, and know how to control people.
Li Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at the three words "Qinghe City" on the city gate not far away.
'The sky is clear and moist, and the air is calm and calm.'
It is said that the name of this city comes from this poem. It was named by the ancestor of the city owner and wrote it himself.
Unfortunately, she probably won't come back.
Li Xuanxuan looked back, shook hands with Li Sisi and Qin Chao, then looked at Xie Shixun: "Let's go."
Xie Shixun had no objection to this and reached out to her.
Li Xuanxuan: "???"
Facing the blind Li Xuanxuan, Xie Shixun remained calm and his voice was gentle: "Xie San is not here, how can I get on the carriage if you don't help me?"
Li Xuanxuan obediently stretched out her hand, but belatedly asked, "So, where did Xie San go?"
Xie Shixun did not answer. He put his hand firmly on the slender arm of the person next to him. Almost at the same time, Li Xuanxuan's voice came to his ears.
Well, to be precise, it was her voice.
I only heard her saying in her heart: "So, we are leaving, why are we still instructing Xie San to do the work? Isn't this delaying the journey?!"
"Ugh, it's so heavy!"
Xie Shixun immediately turned his head to look at Li Xuanxuan and asked, "No?"
At this time, Xie Shixun took Li Xuanxuan's hand and slowly stood up with the help of their hands. Because his legs were not fully healed, when he stood, the weight of his whole body was leaning on
On Li Xuanxuan.
After a day and night of rest, Li Xuanxuan's body recovered to some extent although there was no spiritual nourishment. But not long ago, after she used a move to test Xie Shixun in Changshengyuan, she was actually exhausted...
However, at this moment, she could never admit that she was not good enough!
"Of course!"
Li Xuanxuan held up her face, but she didn't know that Xie Shixun had already heard the curse in her heart.
Before Xie Shixun raised the corner of his mouth, he saw Li Sisi on the other side who had not left yet. She seemed to want to come over... So, with a movement of his fingers hidden under his sleeves, the two people were locked in place.
.
Li Sisi: "..."
Qin Chao: "..."
It took a lot of effort on Li Xuanxuan's part to finally help Xie Shixun get into the carriage, and then she was told to act as the driver?!
Li Xuanxuan: "..."
At this moment, she missed Xie San extremely.
After coming out resignedly, she subconsciously glanced back. Seeing that Li Sisi and Qin Chao hadn't left yet, she waved to them again and said loudly:
"Let's go back!"
As soon as she said these words, Li Sisi and Qin Chao were finally able to move.
Qin Chao turned around with lingering fear and wanted to ask Li Sisi to go back to the city with him, but saw her suddenly running forward!
Qin Chao was startled, but after realizing it, he followed immediately:
