"But in the end, we were labeled traitors. All 130 male members of our family were executed, and the women were exiled and sold."
Qin Qiong's eyes turned red as he spoke, "The Great Entropy Country has done our Qin Family a disservice!"
Qin Qiong gnashed his teeth and said, "We sacrificed our lives for the Great Entropy Emperor, and this is what we got in return!"
"Bah!" Qin Qiong glared at Mu Ze, "Don't forget who protected the capital city in the beginning. It was our Qin family that preserved their royal bloodline!"
He cursed angrily, his chest heaving violently as if he was extremely angry!
Mu Ze pursed his lips and said, "The Qin family has made great contributions, and they will be implicated sooner or later."
"Ha!" Qin Qiong sneered, "I want to vindicate the Qin family, I want to find my sister, what have I done wrong?!"
"Qin Qiong!"
Su Jinyue suddenly spoke up, interrupting him, and then looked at Mu Ze, "I didn't come here today to let you quarrel over this matter."
"I just want to know, can you find the woman in the painting?"
Mu Ze looked at the portrait for a long time before looking away and said, "I will do my best to help you."
"Thank you very much."
Mu Ze put the painting away and said, "You don't have to thank me, because you also have to do me a favor."
"Since you are unwilling to tell me the whereabouts of the old building owner, can you tell me whether the old building owner has ever told you about Xiaoyao Building?"
Su Jinyue did not hesitate this time and said directly to Mu Ze: "Master only taught me medical skills, then gave me the badge and told me there is a place like Xiaoyao Tower."
"Nothing else was told to me. As for your Xiaoyao Tower, I asked many people before I understood what kind of place it was."
"Before my master left, he told me that if I encountered any difficulties, I could come to Xiaoyao Tower for help. He also warned me that there would be a price to pay if I came to Xiaoyao Tower for help."
So she had never set foot in this place in her previous life.
Su Jinyue looked at Mu Ze after she finished speaking, "This is all I can tell you. I don't know where Master is."
Mu Ze seemed tired and waved to Su Jinyue, "You guys go first."
Coming down from upstairs, Qin Qiong looked very depressed. Su Jinyue reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Now that things have come to this, we can only try our best to find him."
"I just hope Yuwei is still alive..." Qin Qiong murmured.
Su Jinyue said: "Don't worry about this. As long as she is still alive, Xiaoyao Tower will definitely be able to find her whereabouts."
upstairs.
After Su Jinyue and the others left, Mulan came out from behind the screen.
Mu Ze was a little helpless, "Sister, do you think what she said is true or false?"
Mulan's voice was particularly pleasant, "She didn't have to lie to us. Maybe she really didn't know the whereabouts of the master."
Boom!
Mu Ze, who was sitting at the table, pounded the table heavily, as if he was unwilling to accept it. "Master even gave her a badge! This means... this means he recognized her as the owner of Xiaoyao Tower!"
Mu Ze snorted, "I don't think she has the ability! She is not worthy of entering our Xiaoyao Tower!"
"Aze, don't be rude to Master's people!"
Mulan said: "Since the master has chosen Miss Su, it means that Miss Su must have something extraordinary."
"She cured the little princess in the palace who had a stubborn disease. She can even cure the strange poison in the Western Regions. She is not an ordinary person."
Mulan's eyes gleamed, "Even if we can't recognize her as the owner of the building now, we can take good care of her for Master so that she can take over the identity of the owner of Xiaoyao Building one day."
Mu Ze's expression lightened up after hearing this and he nodded, "Well, okay, maybe you are right, sister."
Mulan said: "The woman in this portrait is hiding in the capital, but... you can't find her so easily."
Understanding Mulan's meaning, Mu Ze said, "Sister, don't worry, I will settle the person down and then tell her."
Qin Qiong and Su Jinyue walked out of Xiaoyao Tower, and the streets were already silent.
The two walked side by side, each with their own thoughts.
"Do you think Mu Ze will really help us?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but ask.
Su Jinyue smiled slightly, "Xiaoyao Tower will never regret what it has promised."
Just at this moment, when they were about to walk out of Liang City, they suddenly heard footsteps, followed by several people in black approaching quickly!
"Is that you guys?"
One of the men in black said coldly, "You are the ones who have been gathering information everywhere?!"
Qin Qiong obviously sensed danger, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Qin Qiong, "Be careful!"
Before he could finish his words, those men had already drawn their weapons and attacked them like lightning!
"Hurry up and leave!" Qin Qiong knew that the situation was unfavorable. After blocking a sword, he turned around and ran deep into the alley with Su Jinyue.
He had long legs and fast steps, and quickly led the two men out of danger.
The two men turned many corners and finally shook off their pursuers and stopped in front of a dilapidated temple.
"Find a place to hide!" Su Jinyue took a breath and looked around.
Qin Qiong looked at his shoulder, which had a cut on it and blood oozing out. He frowned, but still forced himself to remain calm. Without saying a word, he followed Su Jinyue into the ruined temple!
"You are injured." Su Jinyue noticed his injuries.
"It's okay, just a flesh wound." Qin Qiong waved his hand.
"Let me help you with this."
Bringing the man to the Buddha statue in the ruined temple, Su Jinyue took out the medicine and said to Qin Qiong, "It will be stinging, bear with it."
Qin Qiong forced a smile and said, "Thank you."
The night wind was howling outside, but the dilapidated temple was surprisingly quiet.
Squeak——
The door of the dilapidated temple was pushed open from the outside. Su Jinyue took out a bottle of poison from her sleeve, held it in her hand, and turned around to stand in front of Qin Qiong.
"who?!"
In the darkness of the night, Su Jinyue saw who was coming and was stunned.
"Xiao Duo?!"
Obviously, Xiao Duo was also very surprised after seeing what happened to Su Jinyue, "Why is it you...you guys?"
Su Jinyue noticed the injured Ruan Liuzheng behind him and hurried forward, "You are injured too?! Qin Qiong, close the door!"
Qin Qiong was asked to close the temple door, while Su Jinyue helped Ruan Liuzheng to sit down on the cushion.
The injuries on her body were much more serious than Qin Qiong's. She was stabbed in the abdomen and was bleeding profusely!
"Luckily I brought this bleeding medicine with me!" Su Jinyue pulled off the hem of her skirt and took out a clean piece of cloth to bandage Ruan Liuzheng.
Xiao Duo glanced at Qin Qiong who had returned, and asked in a low voice, "It's already this late, why are you two here?"
While Su Jinyue bandaged Ruan Liuzheng skillfully, she said, "Come to Xiaoyao Tower and ask the owner to help me."
"What about you guys?" Su Jinyue looked at Ruan Liuzheng, who looked a little pale. "Why are you here at this time?"
Ruan Liuzheng was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She frowned and opened her mouth, but she seemed to have no strength left.
Xiao Duo said: "We have been in a lot of trouble these days because of the strange poison from the Western Regions."
"Ruan Liuzheng's father led the team in Western Xinjiang. Although the poison has been cured, Ruan Liuzheng found that the poison may have flowed into Liang City in the capital, so we came in to investigate at this time."
Ruan Liuzheng said weakly: "In the end, I was too reckless... and offended someone I shouldn't have offended."
"Don't talk for now." Su Jinyue said, "I have stopped the bleeding. The most urgent thing is to leave Liang City."
Xiao Duo said: "We will hide in this deserted temple for the time being, and we will come back tomorrow morning..."
Just when they thought they were safe, the temple door was suddenly slammed open and a strange voice was heard!
“It’s right here!”
Several men in black rushed in again, weapons in their hands flashing cold light!
Everyone's nerves sank as they quickly stood up and became alert!
Su Jinyue helped Ruan Liuzheng sit aside and said to Xiao Duo, "Be careful!"
"It seems that it won't be so easy to escape tonight." Qin Qiong whispered.
