Qiao Qixin held her head and raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you knew they were all forced, why did you kill them so decisively?"
The voice outside the carriage paused for a moment, "No matter what happened before, they are bandits now. If we don't kill them, I will be the one who dies."
"Oh~" Qiao Qixin nodded.
Liu Zhan whipped the horse on the buttocks, "This kind of chaos will become more and more serious in the future."
"Why? Aren't you and the Minister of Dali Temple already working on it?" Qiao Qixin was puzzled.
The carriage drove along the small road, constantly running over the weeds on the roadside.
"Master and I can't do it." Liu Zhan's voice was calm, and there was no trace of disappointment or other strange emotions.
Qiao Qixin thought for a while, "Is it because the court doesn't support it?"
"Yeah." Liu Zhan lowered his eyes, "He...he prefers to listen to officials."
Qiao Qixin was not surprised.
It takes several years to search a house in Dali Temple, which shows that the current imperial court is also mediocre.
"Hey? Do you want to revolt?" Qiao Qixin had a bad thought.
Liu Zhan, who was driving, was stunned for a moment, then unconsciously whipped the horse on the butt.
The horse howled, then raised its upper body and accelerated forward.
Qiao Qixin quickly grabbed hold of the carriage, fearing that she would be thrown off.
After a while, Liu Zhan controlled the carriage and returned the speed to normal.
I thought he was going to skip the question just now, but he didn’t expect——
"...I did want to instigate rebellion."
Qiao Qixin in the carriage twitched and tried to cover her ears, "Can I listen to this?"
Liu Zhan said calmly, "I had a conversation with Master about similar topics before."
"Oh? What did your master say?" In the end, Qiao Qixin's curiosity defeated the slightest trace of fear.
"Master told me to keep my feet on the ground."
Isn't this a euphemistic way of saying you're not capable enough and don't mess around?
Qiao Qixin suppressed laughter in the carriage, and then pretended to be serious, "Your master is right."
"But, I have been down-to-earth for two years, why can't I still do it?" Liu Zhan's voice became disappointed.
Qiao Qixin opened the curtain in the carriage and took a look outside, "Liu Zhan, I have a very curious question."
"What?"
"Why do you have a bad temper but still want to change the world?"
This question was a bit offensive. We happened to reach a small slope and Qiao Qixin was already ready to jump out of the car and escape.
Liu Zhan, who was driving, frowned slightly and unconsciously dropped the whip in his hand.
But this time he didn't waste any effort, and the horse wasn't frightened.
After a long time, Liu Zhan spoke again, "I don't know."
After that, the two of them were silent all the way.
When Qiao Qixin was about to fall asleep leaning against the carriage, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Here we are?" Qiao Qixin straightened her upper body sleepily.
"Well, we're here." Liu Zhan got out of the car, then stretched out his hand to help Qiao Qixin down.
But she didn't expect Qiao Qixin to directly ignore his outstretched hand and jump out of the car with a "thud".
"Sister Zhang!" Qiao Qixin cheered, like a happy grooming dog, she opened her arms and ran towards Sister Zhang who was standing in the field not far away.
Sister Zhang, who was resting in the field, heard the shouting and looked for the sound. She saw a girl with gorgeous clothes and a delicate appearance running towards her.
This child does look a lot like my family's Qixin.
Sister Zhang thought to herself, then she turned back and continued hoeing.
Sigh... I don't know what happened to that girl Qixin, and the people in the village don't know the situation either...
"Sister Zhang!"
This sound sounded so much like Qiao Qixin that Sister Zhang subconsciously turned around again, but what she saw was still the fair-skinned, beautiful and gorgeously dressed woman.
"Ouch!" Sister Zhang hit her head angrily.
I must be so stupid that I admitted my mistake twice.
In the eyes of Qiao Qixin, who ran towards Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang's actions turned into, "Oh, why is she back?"
Fake, Qiao Qixin would not miss Sister Zhang that much.
"Sister Zhang~Sister Zhang, look who I am?"
Sister Zhang looked up again and saw that the fair-skinned and beautiful woman was now in front of her.
She looked around and saw no one else, so she pointed at herself and said hesitantly, "Me?"
"Yes, otherwise, who do you think I call Sister Zhang?" Qiao Qixin tilted her head and said with a smile.
Sister Zhang looked at her blankly, "Are you Qixin?"
"No!" Qiao Qixin said seriously, "I am your baby!"
"Ah, Qiao Qixin!" Sister Zhang threw aside the farm tools in her hands and swooped down to hug Qiao Qixin.
"Qixin, where have you been? Do you know that I miss your sister so much?" Sister Zhang hugged Qiao Qixin hard, fearing that she would disappear if she let go.
"Your elder brother and I sent a lot of money to the Yamen, but they couldn't find you. I even went to find Li Changwang, but he just wouldn't say where you were."
"You are really worried about the bad sister! Do you know how much your sister misses you? Do you know that you are so heartless? You don't know how to say hello! Your elder brother is going to build a monument for you, do you know?
"
Sister Zhang was crying and gently hammering Qiao Qixin's back.
"Oh, Sister Zhang! I'm back now! Don't cry. Come on, let's go, Qixin will cook something delicious for you!" Qiao Qixin rubbed Sister Zhang's head affectionately.
Sister Zhang wiped away her tears, then took Qiao Qixin's hand, "Let's go, sister and I go to your eldest brother and let him take a look at you. Your eldest brother is always worried about you."
"Okay~ How about we have a family reunion dinner? I'm really hungry for the rice you cooked, Sister Zhang~" Qiao Qixin said coquettishly, holding Sister Zhang's hand and shaking it from side to side.
"Oh, I haven't cooked by myself for a long time since I arrived at Hexu Villa. My skills may have declined a lot."
