Go catch Xue'er
He winked at Dongyang, who immediately understood what he meant. Dongyang took out a silver note from his pocket and handed it to the young leader: "This is your reward for your hard work."
The young leader's eyes lit up, and he quickly said respectfully, "Thank you!"
"If you ever need our help in the future, just let us know!"
Li Jinghe said quietly, "Have you found the place where those militiamen are hiding?"
The eldest brother shook his head and said, "No." Seeing Li Jinghe's face darken, he immediately added, "I only know that they are roughly hiding in the mountains outside the city!"
After thinking it over carefully, Li Jinghe said, "It's alright, you can go now."
The young leader turned to leave, but Li Jinghe shouted, "Stop!"
He turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, Young Master Li?"
Li Jinghe said, "If others find out about what happened today, do you know the consequences?"
The leader understood and said seriously, "Don't worry! I know the rules in this line of work!"
After he left, Dongyang leaned closer and asked, "Young Master, are you really going to take that little beggar under your command?"
Li Jinghe glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with that?"
Dongyang said respectfully, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just felt that his status was appropriate for him to work for you, young master..."
He didn't say the rest of his words, but Su Yuexing knew what he meant. She said with a straight face, "If you hadn't entered the Li family back then, you would probably be in the same situation as this little beggar."
Dongyang looked embarrassed. "Young master, I know I was wrong."
Li Jinghe waved his hand and said, "You can go now."
"Yes." Dongyang withdrew.
Li Jinghe beckoned, and the hidden guards appeared. "Master!"
Li Jinghe ordered, "Bring Xue back immediately!"
Hua hesitated and said, "Master, there must be some hidden story here."
Li Jinghe swept a cold glance over them, "So you think I can't give you orders now?"
Hua lowered her head and said, "That's not what I meant."
Yue tugged at Hua's sleeve and respectfully said to Li Jinghe, "Your subordinate understands, I'll go now!" The two afterimages disappeared.
Xie Xuanye returned to the Xie residence and learned that Li Jinghe had come to see him. He then went to the Meng residence.
When Li Jinghe arrived at Yumanlou, Xie Xuanye was already sitting in his seat waiting for him.
"You've arrived," Xie Xuanye said with a smile.
Li Jinghe sat down in front of him, looked at the food on the table, and said leisurely, "Haven't had anything good to eat for several days, have you?"
Xie Xuanye paused in his act of picking up food with his chopsticks. "It seems you already know." He then put down his chopsticks.
Li Jinghe asked, "Is she alright?"
Xie Xuanye pursed his lips and said, "Why didn't you keep a close eye on your wife? She's just causing me trouble!"
"Tell me! She's with me now, and I can't kill her, nor can I let her go!"
When he heard him mention killing, Li Jinghe's eyes turned cold.
Xie Xuanye sensed his aura and said, "Don't be nervous! I was just saying."
"How could I possibly lay a hand on her!"
Li Jinghe withdrew his aura and said, "I've thought about it carefully, and it's best to leave the person with you!"
Xie Xuanye stood up in fright and said, "What do you mean, 'I've left people here'!"
"That's your wife! Her affairs are your business!"
Li Jinghe said calmly, "I have already divorced her, and I have nothing to do with her now."
Xie Xuanye's eyes widened in surprise. "What! Why? When did this happen?" he asked.
After saying that, she propped her face up with one hand and poured herself some tea with the other, saying, "Tell me about it."
He had no appetite for the food in front of him; he was only interested in the story of Li Jinghe.
Li Jinghe looked at him and said, "Very interested?"
Xie Xuanye nodded and said, "Of course!"
Li Jinghe smiled and said, "I won't tell!"
Xie Xuanye was speechless. "Is this interesting?"
Li Jinghe replied, "Is it interesting for you to pry into my affairs?"
Xie Xuanye said frankly, "Of course it's interesting!"
"You love her so much, how could you bear to let her leave you!"
Li Jinghe raised an eyebrow and asked, "What makes you think I like her?"
Xie Xuanye smiled without saying a word, and said mysteriously, "After being friends with me for so many years, do you think I still can't see through you?"
Li Jinghe said, "For her safety, I drove her away from me."
Xie Xuanye frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What's unsafe around you?"
Li Jinghe asked seriously, "Do you think the Dream Mansion is safe?"
Xie Xuanye was silent for a moment, then said, "It is a bit dangerous."
"But it's not safe for you to leave her with me. You know what kind of business I'm in. If something happens to her, how am I supposed to explain it to you!"
Li Jinghe was silent for a moment before speaking, "What you said makes a lot of sense."
Xie Xuanye scratched his head and said, "Send someone to pick her up quickly. I'm afraid if she stays here, my plan will be exposed, which would be very disadvantageous for me!"
Li Jinghe frowned and said, "She won't come with me."
Xie Xuanye rolled his eyes in anger, "Then what do you want! Jing He! What am I supposed to do?"
"My grand plan is within reach, and I cannot allow anyone to ruin it!"
Li Jinghe patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Anyway, she's much safer with you than with me."
"Besides, I have a big plan, and if she comes to my side, she will definitely ruin it!"
Xie Xuanye pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Since she's a nuisance, let's just finish her off with one strike."
Li Jinghe said coldly, "Try it!"
Xie Xuanye silently pursed his lips, "I'll give you a deadline. In ten days, she must leave my place, or else..."
Li Jinghe narrowed his eyes slightly. "Otherwise, what?"
Xie Xuanye said irritably, "Otherwise, you can collect my corpse when the imperial court finds me!" After saying that, he left.
He walked down the street in a huff. He had originally planned to have a nice meal at Yu Man Lou, but this incident had forced him to come out hungry.
Li Jinghe rubbed his temples. Ten days? He should give himself ten months.
In the mountains, Su Yuexing asked, utterly bored, "Have you thought of any good ways to escape?"
Princess Changyang shook her head and said, "No."
Su Yuexing thought for a moment and said, "If I help you escape, can you take me to the palace to see Sai Taxue?"
Princess Changyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you can really help me escape, then I am willing to bring you into the palace!"
"And I'll guarantee your safety!"
Su Yuexing's eyes lit up. "You promised me this!"
Princess Changyang said confidently, "Of course! I keep my word!"
Su Yuexing lowered her head, a mysterious smile appearing on her lips, and used the dagger she had hidden to cut the rope.
Soon the rope on her hands came undone. "You..." Princess Changyang exclaimed in surprise.
Su Yuexing used a dagger to cut Princess Changyang's ropes and said sternly, "If you want to leave here, you have to do everything I say!"
Changyang was taken aback by her imposing manner and was somewhat stunned, knowing that he wouldn't be able to leave if he didn't nod.
Seeing Princess Changyang nod, Su Yuexing felt relieved and said, "Come with me."
Su Yuexing cautiously opened the door a crack and saw two people standing in the doorway. Her eyes darted around.
She leaned close to Princess Changyang's ear and whispered a few words, "Will this work?" Princess Changyang asked doubtfully.
Su Yuexing patted her chest confidently, "Trust me! This will definitely work!"
Princess Changyang gritted her teeth, determined to try anything, and lay down on the ground, crying out, "Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"
Hearing the noise, the people outside exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly pushed the door open.
Su Yuexing hid behind the door and attacked them from behind, knocking them unconscious with a single blow each.
Seeing them lying on the ground, Princess Changyang stopped shouting and exclaimed with delight, "We can escape!"
Su Yuexing immediately covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down!"
Princess Changyang realized her mistake and said awkwardly, "I understand."
"Let's quickly put on their clothes," Su Yuexing instructed.
Princess Changyang agreed.
They quickly changed their clothes and went outside. After taking a few steps, they were a little confused.
Princess Changyang looked nervously at the three paths in front of her and asked, "Which way should we go now?"
Su Yuexing looked conflicted. To be honest, she didn't know which way to go. She made up her mind and took the leftmost path.
Princess Changyang immediately followed and asked, "How did you know to take this route?"
Su Yuexing said, "I guessed."
Princess Changyang was startled and exclaimed, "What!"
Su Yuexing said indifferently, "Of course you can take the other route. I'm not forcing you."
Princess Changyang shut her mouth reluctantly and said, "You must make sure I escape from here safely."
Without turning her head, Su Yuexing said, "Don't worry, I'll save you for Liu Jin's sake."
Princess Changyang was taken aback and asked, "What does this have to do with the prince consort?"
Su Yuexing was taken aback, then explained, "What I mean is, Liu Jin is my childhood friend, and I'll take you out for his sake."
Princess Changyang looked at her with suspicion and asked, "Childhood friend?"
"If you are really just ordinary childhood friends, why did Liu Jin give me a strange feeling after we met again?"
Su Yuexing stopped, crossed her arms, and said with great interest, "Tell me what's so strange about it."
"I'll listen carefully."
Princess Changyang pursed her lips and said, "You're always distracted when you're with me, and I always feel like you're hiding something from me."
After saying that, she looked Su Yuexing up and down, "Tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with Liu Jin?"
"It shouldn't be a simple childhood friendship."
Su Yuexing raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems the princess has very little faith in her husband."
Princess Changyang said helplessly, "You only see my glamorous side as a princess."
"But little did I know that I couldn't even understand my own husband's thoughts."
Su Yuexing said, "What could Liu Jin possibly be thinking? All he wants is fame or precious jewels."
Princess Changyang lowered her head and sighed, "If only what he wanted was that simple."
Su Yuexing frowned and asked, "Then what exactly does he want?"
Princess Changyang looked at Su Yuexing seriously and said, "Perhaps even as his childhood friend, you haven't seen his true colors."
Su Yuexing was shocked. Judging from Princess Changyang's words, she felt that Liu Jin was not a simple person.
