Chapter 121: It’s too noisy

3 min read755 words

Xing’er changed her face suddenly, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she was full of panic: “Are they coming to catch me?”

She is not stupid. She knows something she shouldn’t know. If she is caught back, she will probably not survive in nine out of ten.

Soon the group of officials rushed to the door of the guest room, they saw Xiao Nan and Xing’er in the house, and one of the officials with a bruised nose and swollen face pointed at Xiao Nan and shouted.

“He hit us this morning!”

The volume of his voice was so high that Xiao Xixi, who was still sleeping, was awakened.

She raised her head, half-opened her eyes, and asked in a daze: “What’s the matter?”

Luo Qingshan pressed her head back on her shoulder and said lightly: “It has nothing to do with you, keep sleeping.”

“Oh.”

Xiao Xixi closed her eyes and fell asleep again with peace of mind.

A man who looked like a catcher stood up and said proudly: “You guys are so courageous. Not only did you rob the girl that the county master paid for, but you also beat the official of the county government. It’s really boring!”

Luo Qingshan frowned: “It’s too noisy.”

The catcher sneered: “What are you pretending to be when you die? Come on, lock up all the people in this room for me, and take them back to the Yamen to serve the punishment!”

The trappers took out their shackles and rushed into the house aggressively.

Xiao Nan and the other three guards pulled out their knife to greet them.

In terms of their skills, they are much better than these powerful and capable trappers.

However, after three or two efforts, the hunters who were still fierce just now were beaten to the ground, unable to get up, and could only cover their injuries and scream.

The shopkeeper and the guys of the inn were too scared to approach, and they all hid far away.

When the magistrate who had complained loudly before saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn’t expect the opponent’s strength to be so strong. Obviously, there were more than a dozen of them and only four of them. They were still beaten without the ability to fight back, and the strength gap between the two was too big.

The officials knew that they might have kicked the iron plate this time, and they were horrified.

They didn’t dare to yell indiscriminately anymore, and hurriedly pulled up their companions lying on the ground, helping each other and fleeing in embarrassment.

The guards put their swords into their sheaths.

Xing’er exhaled softly, feeling like she was doomed for the rest of her life.

Luo Qingshan waved his hand and asked them all to withdraw.

The guards bowed their hands and retreated, and Xiao Nan didn’t forget to pull Xing’er away before leaving.

The house was quiet again.

Luo Qingshan lowered his head to look at the woman beside her. She still slept sweetly, as if everything that happened outside had nothing to do with her.

Half an hour later, Nie Changping came back.

This time he learned to be smart, knocked on the door first, and only entered the house after getting permission.

When he saw Xiao Xi sitting on the prince and falling asleep, he couldn’t help but stop.

Luo Qingshan said lightly: “Talk about you, don’t worry about her.”

Nie Changping knelt down in front of him, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: “Your Highness, do you know where it is to walk three miles to the southeast?”

Nie Changping thought that the prince would follow his words and ask where it was?

But as a result, the prince easily spit out the correct answer.

“The county government.”

Nie Changping opened his eyes wide and couldn’t believe it: “How did you know? Could Xiao Xi even be able to calculate this? It’s not right, if she can figure it out, why should she let me lock the position according to the orientation?”

Luo Qingshan didn’t mean to solve his confusion, so he said calmly.

“The missing children are all locked up in the dungeon of the county government. This matter is related to Yang Kaiguang. We don’t have enough manpower now. We have to wait for Zhao Xian to come with a large army before we can do anything about Yang Kaiguang.”

Nie Changping agreed: “Your Highness is right.”
