Chapter 335: Estrangement

The past was too detailed and too many, and Liao Jiu’s mind was no longer here.

Liao Jiu interrupted her.

He said to Xiang Xi, "First, listen to her story about the rebellion in Prince Xiang's mansion. Then, deal with her properly. I'll also leave the matter of the imperial physician obtaining the ginseng to you. I'll go back first. Don't reveal my whereabouts."

"Master, where are you going?"

Liao Jiu whistled towards the sky, "Shili Town, something must have happened over there."

His mind was always uneasy.

Now hearing Li Niang's words again, this feeling of uneasiness became even stronger.

Xiangxi worriedly said, "If Qushen is not here, will the emperor be furious..."

"I can't care about so many things." Liao Jiu strode out.

The rain outside has just stopped.

In the night sky, a bright night pearl flew over on the wind.

It has been following Liao Jiu and his team, but no one else has noticed it. It finds a forest to sleep in during the day and flies in the sky with a night pearl hanging on it at night. When others see it, they think it is the stars in the sky blinking.

Liao Jiu had been feeling uneasy since the afternoon, and now, after hearing this, all the clues connected...

Why take a ginseng and ask him to protect it?

Isn't it just to transfer him away from the capital and away from Da'an Kingdom?

There is only one purpose for doing this...

There must be danger in Shili Town!

The people from Baihua Tower were hunting down Li Niang from Prince Xiang’s Mansion. Does that mean that the rebellion of Prince Xiang’s Mansion was also related to Baihua Tower?

So, will the people from Baihua Tower go to Shili Town to kill people and silence them?

Someone is using Baihua Tower to arrange a big situation. There is a rebellion in Prince Xiang's Mansion, natural disasters and man-made disasters in Daliangzhou, rumors are everywhere, and even the emperor's illness has been used by someone.

What on earth does this force want?

Liao Jiu didn't want to think about anything now. He just wanted to keep Jiang Lianzhu and the others safe.

If Dabao's identity is discovered by Baihualou, Jiang Lianzhu's safety will also be in jeopardy...

Liao Jiudeng landed on the wind, then jumped onto its back and flew happily and familiarly towards Shamen County of Da'an Kingdom.

It is not happy when flying anywhere else, but it is happiest when flying to Shamen County, and its flapping wings seem more powerful.

***

It was drizzling, and the night was dark and windy.

Jiang Lianzhu's carriage was still moving in the dark towards Shili Town.

There were also people from the Six Gates following behind, with faint lanterns hanging on their carriages.

Torches were useless. Once lit, they were extinguished by wind and rain. We could only use lanterns, but the light was dim.

The official road was dilapidated and had been in disrepair for years, making it difficult to travel even in a hurry. Several times, the horses couldn't see the road clearly and rushed into the ditch. Jiang Lianzhu was the one who quickly pulled them back...

Dabao was also shaking badly in the carriage. He said in a deep voice, "Mom, let's be steady. If the carriage flips over, we won't be able to go any faster. Erbao and the others may be fine. Erbao has always had good luck."

As they were talking, the carriage got stuck in the mud and this time, there was no way to pull it back out.

Jiang Lianzhu simply abandoned the carriage and let the horse out from the front alone.

"Dabao, let's go. Let's just ride horses instead of carriages. Hold the lantern for me and we'll ride back."

"good!"

Dabao had never ridden a horse before, so Jiang Lianzhu directly lifted him onto the horse and placed him in front of her. She didn't care about the bookcase or anything else. Dabao held the lantern while Jiang Lianzhu rode the horse, and the mother and son set off again.

The people from the Six Gates behind also hurried to catch up.

Jiang Lianzhu's horse was the one they had spent a long time selecting, and it was no worse than theirs...

Once they start running, they will disappear from their sight if they are not careful.

***

Under the protection of the Lin family's helpers and three snow wolves, Erbao and his friends entered the cellar under the kitchen despite being surrounded by danger.

The moment they entered the cellar, the red color on Steward Lin's body disappeared, and then he fell to the ground.

The people from the Lin family who came to assist the gang members were either killed or scattered when the situation became serious. The masked man also suffered heavy casualties.

There were few people left standing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Is anyone home, Doctor Jiang? Is everything okay at home? We are the constables from the town government office... Open the door, open..."

After the last one opened, there was no sound.

No one knocked on the door anymore.

The remaining masked men in black originally wanted to kill the dying housekeeper Lin in the middle of the yard, but at this time, they didn't care about him and chased Erbao and the others directly into the cellar.

The cellar below is very large and is divided into several areas, some for storing grain, some for storing wine, and some for storing various sundries. There are at least one or two hundred bungalows.

There are also shelves of goods, one after another.

It was also pitch black inside, with only the eyes of the three wolves, including Xue Da, glowing, making them look particularly creepy.

Erbao distributed gas masks to everyone and taught everyone to put them on quickly.

Then he hid himself.

Hiding behind various storage racks.

"Xue Da, Xue Er, Xue San, you three aren't wearing gas masks. As soon as I release the poison, you all must quickly get out and stay as far away as possible... If they escape, attack any of them who are left alone."

The three snow wolves growled in unison and responded.

Soon, the remaining dozen or so masked men chased to the cellar.

They were holding torches, and their leader was the chained leader who had fought with Steward Lin, called the Soul-Calling Ghost.

They didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear that there might be some new mechanism in the dark cellar.

The previous losses are still fresh in our memory.

The soul-seeking ghost said sinisterly, "Come out, don't hide anymore. What's the point of hiding now? All those who came to save you are either dead or have escaped. We killed all the constables in the yamen just now. Who else do you expect to save you? Erbao, Nanbao? Come out, we only want you two children. Come with me, and we can let the others go..."

In the cellar, it was so quiet that there was no sound at all.

Erbao is not stupid. Why did he arrest the siblings and let the others go?

How is that possible!

It's just a joke for kids.

The ghost spoke again to the darkness, "Jiang Chengshi, Erya, these two children are not related to you. If you hand them over, we can let you go. And Young Master Lin, why are you doing this? You are the only child of your Lin family. You don't need to be buried here with them. Your Lin family is not doing a good job as an imperial merchant. Instead of getting involved in such a bad thing, it's not just your life that is at stake. Your Lin family will also have a bad life in the future! Have you thought it through? It's not too late to hand over these two children now..."

Still, no response.

The plan of sowing discord also failed.

There was no one here he could alienate.
