Immediately afterwards, the neighing of a horse was heard outside, followed by a jolt.
Ji Xingzhi hugged Xiao Moyan tightly, and her whole body was in Xiao Moyan's arms. The carriage was shaking violently, but Ji Xingzhi didn't ask anything and waited quietly for the carriage to stop.
After a long time, the carriage finally stopped slowly. Ji Xingzhi was helped down from the carriage by Xiao Moyan. She felt unstable standing on the ground and her body was staggering, as if she was still in the carriage.
Ji Xingzhi looked behind him and saw Ji Ruhua, Luo Bai, Yuxu, Zhou Zheng, Rumei, Xiaojuan and the others. Then she looked at Bai Xiu, who was standing next to Xiao Moyan with a smile on his face. Ji Xingzhi turned her gaze to Xiao Moyan and asked knowingly, "Has the emperor's uncle already made arrangements?"
Leaving Zhang Qian and the others to hold back the Xia family, Bai Xiu led Liuyun's men to escort them safely away. Thinking about what had happened before, it was clear that the Emperor's uncle had come prepared.
"Let's go in and rest first." After saying that, Xiao Moyan turned and walked into the yard on the side.
Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned. Looking up, he saw a large courtyard with white walls and a vermilion gate. Above the gate hung a red plaque with two large black characters "Xiao's Residence" written on it. He looked around and saw that there were almost no houses around. Only a few pedestrians passed by occasionally, pointing and talking, and then left.
There are a few houses scattered around, but none of them are as grand and spacious as the Xiao Mansion. Bishui City has been abandoned and uninhabited. It is obviously not Bishui City anymore.
Entering Xiao's house, what comes into view is a sea of green. There are many flowers and plants planted there, with only a small path wide enough for one person to pass through.
Beyond this meadow is a row of houses, neatly arranged together, separated only by a wall. It's obvious that the sound insulation is definitely not good.
Under Bai Xiu's arrangement, Ji Ruhua, Luo Bai, Yuxu and others went into their houses to rest. They must have been dizzy after such severe bumps in the road just now.
Only Zhou Zheng did not forget his responsibility and quietly monitored Yuxu's every move.
After Ji Xingzhi recovered from the jolting ride of the carriage, she saw Bai Xiu passing by the door. Without thinking, she reached out and pulled Bai Xiu over and asked, "Where is this place?"
Bai Xiu paused slightly, glanced at Ji Xingzhi's hand holding his sleeve, and said with a leisurely smile, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will cause misunderstanding."
When Ji Xingzhi heard this, he withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said, "So what?"
Bai Xiu suddenly smiled brightly, leaned against the door with his arms folded, looked down at Ji Xingzhi and asked, "What does the emperor want to know?"
Ji Xingzhi also folded his arms, leaned against the pillar next to him and asked, "Where is this?"
"Ruoshui City." Bai Xiu said.
Ji Xingzhi frowned slightly. Ruoshui City... the city that was said to have been abandoned by Shuizhou, but who would have thought that there were still people living here...
Ji Xingzhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "Who is the Emperor's uncle?" He paused and continued, "Or rather... who is Tianshu?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Xiu's face suddenly changed color. Ji Xingzhi witnessed with her own eyes how the unrestrained and uninhibited nobleman instantly turned into a sinister and dangerous terrorist.
"How do you know this name?" Bai Xiu's face was gloomy. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Ji Xingzhi, and he exuded an aura that made people feel cold in their hearts.
Ji Xingzhi was shocked. Why did Bai Xiu's aura suddenly become so terrifying?
Suppressing the suspicion in her heart, Ji Xingzhi adjusted her mind and replied calmly, "The emperor's uncle told me."
