However, this is not the time to delve into these details.
He walked inside, and the ashes under his feet made a squeaking sound and then turned to ashes.
Qi Moli's eyes were bloodshot. He was going to disappear after just one day's absence?
At this time, Si Jinxing, who was in Xinglin Yaxu, finally woke up slowly.
She was stunned for a moment, then remembered what happened last night!
Last night, when she was half asleep and half awake, she felt a pungent smell entering her nostrils.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw flames in the room!
The endless sleepiness left her no time to think, and she subconsciously slipped into Xinglin Yaxu!
As soon as she slipped in, she was plunged into endless darkness.
Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that it was just a drug, not some other more vicious drug!
The other party was quite smart. The drug took effect when she was half asleep and half awake. If she hadn't been on guard, she would have thought she was really tired and turned over and fell asleep.
I don’t know if the fire only burned her or the entire inn was burned down?
It was for this reason that she went to Xinglin Yaxu as soon as possible last night and escaped the disaster!
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Bai Xi Qingchan, but she can’t put herself in danger when she doesn’t know the situation outside!
Now, I wonder how Perilla and Green Cicada are doing now?
Their room is right next door, will they be affected?
Thinking of this, Si Jinxing felt a little anxious.
She tried it and felt nothing unusual except a little weakness.
She forced herself to walk slowly to the door, and just as she was about to slip out, she heard a familiar voice:
"Xing, you promised not to scare me anymore. Where did you go?"
It was a simple sentence, but Si Jinxing could hear endless sorrow.
Qi Moli?
Why is he here?
Si Jinxing really wanted to go out immediately, but was afraid of scaring him.
She had to wait until his footsteps faded away before she could calculate the approximate location, touched the orchid mark, and slipped out of Xinglin Yaxu.
As soon as she came out, she smelled the pungent smell of burning wood, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Qi Moli searched everywhere, but there was no trace of him, and his face became increasingly gloomy!
“Damn it!”
He turned around and strode out, taking out a long whip that was shining with a cold light from his waist.
A dark light flashed in his eyes. The postmaster was tired of living!
But at this moment, a panting sound suddenly came from the north side of the bed...
Qi Moli had excellent hearing and he stopped suddenly.
He turned around and saw that the wardrobe door on the north side of the bed was creaking open from the inside.
Even Qi Moli, who was used to seeing blood and gore, was shocked at this moment!
He saw...
A young woman in a middle-length dress, with her black hair flowing down behind her, slowly walked out of the closet.
He looked at the man without blinking, and said softly:
"star?"
He was afraid this was just an illusion. He had already checked that cabinet...
Si Jinxing looked at his anxious look, and her heart ached. She whispered:
"I'm sorry for scaring you again. I promised you I wouldn't..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head guiltily, but before she could finish her words, she fell into a strong embrace.
At this moment, how could Qi Moli still be as cold and arrogant as he was in front of outsiders?
He doesn't want to hear anything, nothing is important!
He just wanted to hold her in his arms like this, as if only in this way could he feel a little bit of reality.
"I'm the one who should be sorry. It's my inconsiderateness that put you in such a dangerous situation!"
Si Jinxing glanced around the yard and saw that all other rooms were fine. She knew that the fire last night was directed at her.
I think Qingchan, Baixi, and him must have turned the house upside down, right?
At this moment, seeing that he didn't ask, she didn't mention it either. She just put her arms around his strong waist and said:
“I don’t blame you.
It’s just that the other party was omnipresent, and we were still careless.
It seems that the Xuzhou Prefecture in Jianghuai is really afraid of our arrival, and has started setting up obstacles so early to delay our arrival."
As she spoke, she handed him an object in her hand.
At this time, the Xuzhou prefect, Jia Wensheng, always felt that his eyelids were twitching violently in recent days.
Could it be that something is going to happen?
He waved to Mr. Huang, who was waiting outside the door, and asked, "Has there been any news from the south?"
Upon hearing this, Master Huang said:
"I just received a letter a few days ago saying that the Imperial Envoy will be leaving for the north in the next two days.
The fastest we can get to is the Qingcheng County Posthouse. Don't worry, sir. I believe a carrier pigeon will arrive within two days."
Jia Wensheng thought about the arrangements along the way, but still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
He then remembered that he had not seen Fu Tong for several days, so he asked:
"Do you know what Master Fu has been busy with these days?"
Master Huang frowned slightly and said:
"Master Fu hasn't come to the government office for the past two days. I just heard someone outside say:
Someone saw Master Fu at the City God Temple in the east of the city, with a few people, setting up a big pot and making a fire to cook!"
Hearing this, Jia Wensheng's face turned cold and he said:
“He’s messing around!
There are tens of thousands of people in the city, and he can't even afford a meal of porridge by himself. If he causes a riot among the victims, I wonder what he will do!"
Master Huang whispered:
"I heard that Master Fu sold his three-story compound!
I heard that he exchanged two hundred taels of silver and bought a lot of rice from several wealthy families outside the city!
That’s when they opened the porridge stall and gave out porridge and other medicinal soups to strengthen the body.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Wensheng frowned.
This Fu Tong has always been at odds with me!
Under the current circumstances, is he doing this to gain fame or to get some information?
If someone from Jianzhou came to investigate, wouldn't Fu Tong's actions win him a good reputation among the people and put him in an unjust position?
The more Jia Wensheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. His scalp went numb. He quickly ordered:
"Hurry up and have the head of the Household Department post a notice in the military training ground in front of the prefectural government office!
Then he said that he was willing to donate 500 dan of rice and set up a soup kitchen at the military academy for a month to help the people overcome their difficulties!
Master Huang nodded and said:
“That’s fine.
As long as those people from Jianzhou can delay on the road for a few more days, no one will be able to explain how those unruly people in Jianghuai died!
After all, we can’t control this epidemic!”
Jia Wensheng nodded secretly, hoping that good news would come from Qingcheng soon so that he could sleep peacefully!
In Qingcheng County, far to the south, all four city gates were blocked at this time, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!
Qi Moli stood tall and looked down at the Qingcheng County Magistrate and the Postmaster who were kneeling on the ground.
His eyes were cold, and he said coldly:
"Two of you, can anyone tell me why there is something tampered with like this in the County Lady's room?"
