"Accompany my beggar..." The old beggar put his head covered with dirt into Ying Qi's cloak, and said in a hoarse voice with his chapped lips next to his ear.
"I'll accompany you! I'll accompany you! Please tell me, do you want money or spiritual fluid?!" Ying Qiqi said goodbye in disgust, holding his breath and asking urgently with a cry.
"Pay for my beggar..." the old beggar blew against Ying Qiu's cheek from the other side.
"Let me go! I'll buy you a new one right now!" Ying Qiqi turned his head away again and closed his eyes tightly and screamed.
"I don't want a new one! I want my bowl!" The old beggar was actually a little angry and stubborn like a naughty boy. He put his mouth next to Ying Qi's ear and shouted harshly.
Shadow Seventeen cried, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He had been arrogant for most of his life, and he had never met such a rogue person. His cultivation level was much higher than him, and he was unreasonable. He was simply too much of a bully.
"Senior... I really know that I was wrong... What will it take... for you to let me go..." Ying Qiqi burst into tears and asked while choking.
"It's okay to use these to compensate!" The old beggar plucked the jade gourd from his waist with lightning speed, stepped back to where he was sitting, crossed his legs, and played with Shadow Seventeen's Green Hungry Sword.
"Okay, okay..." Ying Shiqi said in a trembling voice with a pale face. The Green Hunger Sword was like his beloved wife, and the jade gourd contained the spiritual essence he had saved for nearly five years. He suddenly felt as if a piece of his heart had been cut out, and it hurt.
It's fatal.
"Get out of Licheng! Don't let me see you again..."
Shadow Seventeen's eyes were red, his teeth were clenching, and he turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, I looked back and saw that the old beggar was sitting against the wall in his free time. Sometimes he was playing with the jade gourd in his hand, sometimes he pulled out the stopper and lowered his head to smell it. His expression was very intoxicated.
Ying Shiqi's face turned a little pale again. The old beggar seemed to notice and glanced sideways at him. Ying Shiqi's heart trembled, and he turned around and ran away. He was as embarrassed as he wanted.
It's getting dark, Jia Mansion.
A large number of people gathered outside the woodshed, led by the sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked third housekeeper.
"You still want to eat when you haven't finished your work! If you commit this crime for the first time, I will punish you for ten days. If it happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The third steward pointed at Lin Chuan and scolded him, raising his hand.
Leifang left with all the servants.
"Didn't the flower farmer bring the flowers?" Lin Chuan complained in his heart. He did not dare to resist, for fear that the third housekeeper would drive him out of the house, and there would be a tiger outside waiting to eat him.
Lin Chuan lowered his head and returned to his residence in frustration, thinking that today was really a close call. Fortunately, Wan'er was not involved. As soon as Wan'er came back, she was picked up by a nun and went to have dinner with the young lady.
He couldn't stay in Licheng any longer. The cloaked assassin would come to him sooner or later after questioning him. According to the behavior of the third housekeeper, he would not cause any trouble to the family, so he had to hand him over happily.
If the salary is gone, then it's gone. When the Jia Mansion is worshiping its ancestors tomorrow, we will take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to take Wan'er out of the Jia Mansion and out of Licheng.
It is better to place Wan'er as soon as possible... Lin Chuan frowned, feeling worried.
"Gululu..." Lin Chuan was so hungry that he couldn't sleep. He quietly got up, thinking that everyone must have fallen asleep in the middle of the night. At this time, going to the woodshed to get some food would not be discovered...
Lin Chuan quietly closed the door and walked toward the firewood shed.
Passing by the accounting room, he suddenly heard someone talking. Lin Chuan should have slipped by quietly, but he heard some words about himself and had to stop and listen.
"Third Master, I heard today that the boy named Ah Chuan seemed to have met an enemy on the street. He was chased all the way and caused an uproar in the city. The key is that the patrolling city guard actually turned a blind eye.
Eyes." Through the shadow of the window, it can be seen that the person speaking is Ding Laopi, the confidant of the third housekeeper.
The third housekeeper said to himself that he thought there was something strange about this boy. He touched the sparse goatee on his pointed chin and pondered silently.
"The younger one thinks it's better to send that kid away as soon as possible to avoid trouble. As for his sister, leave it to the younger one. The younger one secretly sold her to Dingxiang Pavilion. The old bustard of Dingxiang Pavilion and the younger one
I am familiar with you, and the price will definitely satisfy you." His confidant Ding Lao Pi said in a low voice, his words full of flattery.
"I have to send it away, but not now. I have to wait until the master's ancestor worship ceremony is over. Don't even think about that little girl. The master still has great use."
"What's the big use?" Lao Pi looked disappointed, thinking that the third housekeeper would listen to his suggestion. Suddenly he was shocked to realize that he had made a mistake. Just as he was about to explain, he was scolded by the third housekeeper.
"You bastard! You, a servant, can inquire about my boss's affairs! You've been with me for so long, and you don't even understand the rules!"
"I'm sorry, Third Master... I made a mistake. I was blinded by lard for a moment and accidentally said the wrong thing. Don't worry, Third Master... There will definitely be no next time." Lao Pi hurriedly admitted his mistake and kept saying it.
Slap yourself in the face.
"Okay, okay! Be quiet and don't wake him up. I won't do this next time."
"Gululu!" Lin Chuan's stomach growled at an inappropriate time.
"Who!!!" The third housekeeper jumped out of the window, looking around and shouted in a low voice.
A cat meowed in the dark night. The third housekeeper walked quickly to the wing where Lin Chuan was located. He opened the window and through the faint moonlight, he saw Lin Chuan's chest rising slowly while he was sleeping. He felt relieved.
After hearing the footsteps of the third housekeeper leaving, Lin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, with murderous intent in them.
In the city lord's palace, Xiao Moxin was wearing a light blue skirt, sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, listening to the report of the maid outside the door.
"Reporting to your lord, after the guard of the Southern General entered the city, he took this portrait and looked around to ask if he had seen the person in the portrait."
"Who is in the portrait? Do you recognize him?" Xiao Moxin asked quietly.
"He is a very handsome young man. This slave has never seen him before."
"Oh, go on."
"When the guard came to the flower house, he suddenly found the young man, and then he drew his sword and chased after him." The maid paused, as if waiting for Xiao Mojun's reaction, and continued without saying a word.
"That young man is very skilled. He should be at the fifth or sixth level of Huang. He is also smart and he specializes in choosing places with many people. The bodyguard was afraid of your words and did not dare to hurt innocent people. After a while, he also chased after him.
I couldn't catch him. I finally caught up with him when I reached a shady alley, but fell into the tricks of the young man, allowing him to escape again. After that, I chased him again. Because you told me not to go near the shady alley, and don't mess with the old man.
beggar."
"Well, what next?" Xiao Moxin opened her eyes, her voice was not as calm as before, but she seemed to be interested.
"Then the servant stood guard nearby and waited for a stick of incense before the guard came out. Uh-huh..." The maid suddenly stopped as she was speaking, as if she was trying to hold back her laughter.
"Um?!"
As if aware of the displeasure of the people in the room, the maid immediately calmed down her expression and continued.
"The guard's face was filled with tears, and he was crying so hard that he looked indescribably aggrieved, as if he had lost his soul."
"He was the only one out of the alley?"
"Yes, he was alone. After leaving the alley, he went straight to the city gate. The servant followed him, and the man actually left the border and returned to the south." The maid replied.
"It's interesting... You can go back and rest." Xiao Moxin said.
