Qiao Qixin returned to the dining table and swept away all the food on the table without ceremony.
"You... are quite edible." Jin Yan held her forehead. She originally planned to feed Qiao Qixin's remaining rhubarb to the backyard rhubarb, but now, the rhubarb could not be added to the meal.
"I'm hungry, but I eat very well when I have something to eat." Qiao Qixin looked at Jin Yan innocently.
There was the sound of horse hoofbeats outside the door, and Shuanzi poked his head out to take a look, "Shopkeeper, Miss Qiao, Mr. Liu's carriage is here."
"Thankfully I called you, otherwise you would still be eating." Jinyan raised her chin slightly, "Are you leaving now?"
Qiao Qixin wiped her mouth, then nodded and said, "Well, let's leave now."
Jin Yan had a complicated expression, then she took an awkward step forward, opened her hands and said, "Come on, give me a hug."
Qiao Qixin smiled, stood up and hugged Jin Yan.
"What, are you in love with me? Are you reluctant to let me go?" Qiao Qixin smiled evilly on Jinyan's chest.
Jin Yan patted her on the back and whispered, "I quite like you. If you have time in the future, I will bring your family to the capital for fun. I will stay with you for free."
"No need." Qiao Qixin let go of Jin Yan and walked towards the carriage.
She stood in front of the threshold, turned around and waved to Jinyan, "Goodbye."
Jin Yan sighed, showed her charming smile again, and waved to Qiao Qixin, "Goodbye."
Qiao Qixin turned around and got on the carriage. Before she even opened the curtain, the aroma of grilled mutton kebabs and pineapple cakes came out from inside.
Huh? So it smells like this?
With doubts, Qiao Qixin opened the curtain, and a handsome man who was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed suddenly appeared in her field of vision.
"Liu Zhan?" Qiao Qixin was confused, "Are you here?"
Liu Zhan woke up from his light sleep after being called out. He looked at Qiao Qixin at the door of the carriage and stretched out his hand to pull her into the carriage.
The carriage began to move.
Liu Zhan moved to the side, leaving a large space for Qiao Qixin, then reached out and handed the kebabs and a pack of still warm pineapple cakes to Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin looked at the mutton skewers and pineapple cakes in her hands and hesitated, "Did Lin Mo give them to you?"
Liu Zhan, who was about to fall asleep again with his hands on his chest, opened his eyes. He looked at Qiao Qixin with a confused look on his face, "Do you know Lin Mo?"
Then, he showed a look of realization and said, "Lin Mo went to Fusheng Inn?"
"Yes." Qiao Qixin nodded, "She also pestered Jinyan to ask why you were not in Li's house."
"Oh," Liu Zhan leaned against the carriage again and closed his eyes. "The Li Mansion was raided last night. There were too many things, so I stayed in Dali Temple all night."
Qiao Qixin opened the curtain on the window of the carriage and took a look outside. She was almost out of the city.
Turning around, Liu Zhan had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.
Although there were still many questions, Qiao Qixin put aside her curiosity after seeing that Liu Zhan had been busy all night and didn't sleep.
She held her chin and looked at the changing scenery outside the window, feeling an uncontrollable excitement in her heart.
Sister Zhang~Your little baby is going home soon~
The carriage drove on the road for a long time. Suddenly, the sound of horses hooting came from the front, and then the carriage moved and stopped.
Qiao Qixin subconsciously looked out, but was grabbed by the hair by a bandit dressed as a bandit.
"Ah! Let go!" Qiao Qixin said in pain.
"Hey, you girls are quite pretty. Let's go and have fun with me!"
The bandit who was pulling Qiao Qixin's hair smiled lewdly, but the next second, his wrist was cut off.
Unfettered, Qiao Qixin was able to return to the carriage.
Through the window, she stared blankly at the hand twitching on the ground.
Cut, cut off...
Qiao Qixin turned to look at Liu Zhan, who had a sinister look on his face. The delicate dagger blade in his hand was still dripping with blood.
The bandit who had his hand cut off covered his severed wrist and said angrily, "Brothers! Come on! Kill him!"
Among other things, bandits are very loyal.
One by one, when they saw their brothers' hands cut off, they immediately shouted for revenge.
Qiao Qixin looked at Liu Zhan, "Shall we... run away..."
Liu Zhan glanced at Qiao Qixin and said calmly, "You are in the car, don't get off."
After saying that, Liu Zhan flew out of the car, only to hear a splashing sound, the smell of blood filled the air, and various miserable howls resounded through the sky.
But after a while, the howls disappeared.
"Brother, I was forced to do this. I am a useless person. Please let me go, brother."
Huh? Why does this voice sound familiar?
Qiao Qixin endured her fear and looked outside, only to see a very familiar figure kneeling in front of Liu Zhan, begging to let him go.
Liu Zhan didn't want to pay attention. He raised his dagger and was about to kill the coward when a woman's stopping voice came from behind him.
"Liu Zhan, please wait a moment!" Qiao Qixin shouted, and then got out of the car anxiously.
Liu Zhan glanced at the coward kneeling on the ground, and the evil aura in his eyes had not completely faded away.
"You, raise your head and let me take a look." Qiao Qixin came to the two of them and said to the coward kneeling on the ground.
A drop of blood fell from the dagger, and Liu Zhan shook the dagger that was hidden behind him.
The coward who was kneeling on the ground raised his head tremblingly.
"Oh, isn't this an old acquaintance of mine?" Qiao Qixin was delighted. Wasn't this the person who kidnapped her to the Jia Mansion - Liang Anting?
"Isn't this Liang Anting? I haven't seen him act like this in a few days." Qiao Qixin mocked wildly.
Liang Anting hadn't recognized Qiao Qixin yet, so she said in a low voice, "This lady, I'm young, I don't think I've ever seen Madam before..."
"Never seen it? Do you want to take another look?" Qiao Qixin raised her eyebrows.
