Chapter 264 It's Not a Misunderstanding
The official road outside Wuyin Mountain is wide and flat, with constant traffic of carriages, horses and pedestrians.
Lin Hao was able to hold on because he had learned martial arts, but Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun, who were brought up in pampered conditions, could not walk.
Fortunately, at this time, a guard caught up.
"Prince, Xuanwu has met us."
Xuan Wu was the third guard. When Qi Shuo brought the three girls out of the mountain, they had not yet arrived at the place where the man died.
"Is he not hurt?"
A warm feeling flowed through the guard's heart, and he hurriedly said, "No one is injured, please rest assured, Your Highness."
Qi Shuo nodded and ordered the guards: "Go into the city first and hire three carriages."
"yes."
Seeing the guard about to leave, Lin Hao stopped him: "Wait a moment. Ah Shuo, I have something to tell you."
When the two of them reached a secluded place, Lin Hao directly expressed his suspicions: "I don't think the robbers this time were simply after money, but it has something to do with my visit to a clinic called Danxintang."
"Infirmary?"
"Well, I met a doctor named Gu in the clinic, and I noticed that his face was very similar to Mr. Fox in the portrait... If my suspicions are correct, his people will definitely alert the enemy when they find out I've been rescued. Ah Shuo, have the guards go back to the city and arrange for someone to keep an eye on the clinic. It doesn't matter if we return a little later."
Qi Shuo ruffled her hair and said, "Don't worry, Xuan Yi has someone watching over the clinic."
"You also suspect that there's something wrong with that clinic?" Lin Hao was surprised, his eyes widening slightly.
"It's not suspicion, but the places you went to before you were kidnapped were your cousin's house and the clinic. It never hurts to be more aware."
"A Shuo, you are so awesome." Lin Hao's eyes were blazing and he was not stingy with praise.
Qi Shuo coughed to hide his shyness and hurriedly called the guard to explain things.
Lin Hao smiled and walked over to Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun.
Chi Caiyun pulled Lin Hao's sleeve, feeling both envious and aggrieved: "Miss Lin, you are so lucky. When something happened, your fiancé went into the mountains to look for you despite the danger. Unlike me, no one from my family came."
She was so pissed off! Those aunts and sisters would probably clap their hands in celebration and use her jewelry and eat her lobsters in the future...
Lin Hao thought that Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun were likely to have suffered this unprovoked disaster because of her, so she became more patient with the girl. "Your family must have reported it to the authorities. They must be afraid of the thieves and dare not act rashly. Look, no one from my family came. The prince went into the mountains quietly."
Zhu Jiayu nodded at the side: "Ah Hao is right, no one comes to my house either, but it's impossible for my parents not to worry about me."
Chi Caiyun was comforted and smiled: "Where do you all live? I'll treat you to lobster later..."
The lobsters in Beijing are shipped from far away, and they are delicious and expensive. All three of them have eaten them before, and this topic successfully made their stomachs growl.
The guards were fast and arrived with three carriages before long.
At this time, the other two guards had already left the mountain with the man's body.
Qi Shuo took Lin Hao onto one carriage, Zhu Jiayu and Chi Caiyun rode in another, and the remaining carriage carried the body. The driver, originally terrified, was pale and weak in the knees, but a silver ingot rolled into his arms, instantly emboldening him and giving him more strength, driving the carriage faster than the other two.
In the carriage, Lin Hao felt sleepy and tried to keep his eyelids open: "A Shuo, let's go straight to the clinic."
"I'll go over after you've returned to the General's Mansion."
"Let's go together." Lin Hao bravely resisted the sleepiness.
But she hadn't slept well last night, and now she was completely relaxed in front of the person she trusted most, and was completely unable to resist the strong sleepiness.
"Don't hold on any longer. Sleep for a while and then wash up when you get home. Just wait for my news."
"Okay." Lin Hao no longer made things difficult for himself, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Qi Shuo stared at the mud-stained face, and only then did he completely stop hiding the heartache in his eyes.
She almost got into trouble.
He reached out and gently touched her cheek. The warmth from his fingertips brought his heart, which had fallen into icy purgatory, back to life.
That's great.
He stared at the girl who was sleeping with her eyes closed, and the uneasiness and fear in his heart unconsciously turned into throbbing.
The sleeping girl, whether it is the slightly furrowed eyebrows or the slightly raised corners of the lips, is his favorite look.
When Qi Shuo came to his senses, he was surprised to find that the sleeping face was very close.
If I kiss her, it seems like it won't be discovered, right?
As this thought flashed through his mind, the upright villain in Prince Jing's heart jumped out: How can you kiss someone while they are sleeping!
Too--
Just at this moment, the carriage shook, and Qi Shuo's body leaned forward and swayed. Because they were too close, his handsome face hit Lin Hao's face.
Lin Hao opened his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time.
Ah Shuo kissed her secretly while she was sleeping and got caught. Shouldn't she slap him in the face?
"Oh, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Well, I believe it." Lin Hao nodded seriously.
Since I can't do it, I'll just accept his weak excuse.
Lin Hao's reaction left Qi Shuo bewildered: Did he believe it so easily? Or was Ah Hao angry and speaking sarcastically?
He decided to confess: "It's not entirely a misunderstanding—"
Is he uncomfortable because he didn't get slapped?
The girl's pair of distinct black and white eyes were filled with anger, like the waves on a spring lake stirred by the wind, and also stirred people's hearts.
The next moment, she was pulled into someone's arms, and his slightly cool lips were pressed against hers.
After a long time, a low voice sounded: "It's not a misunderstanding..."
The carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion. Lin Hao was helped out of the carriage by Qi Shuo, feeling a little guilty.
"The second girl is back!"
With the doorman's shout, the general's mansion was filled with joy.
"Ahao, I'm so scared!" Lin hugged Lin Hao and started crying.
Lin Chan, who had returned to her parents' home upon hearing that her sister was in trouble, stood beside the old lady, wiping away her tears.
Cheng Shu patted Qi Shuo's shoulder vigorously: "Prince, it's really thanks to you."
"Ahao hasn't eaten or drunk much, so he needs to take good care of himself. I also need to go back early to report my safety to my parents." Qi Shuo bowed to the old lady and Lin, then said goodbye and left.
"Oh, that bad guy didn't hurt you, did he?" Mrs. Lin looked her daughter up and down.
"He just refused to let me eat or drink. Before he could really hurt anyone, he was saved by Ah Shuo."
"Thanks to my son-in-law. Ah Hao, go wash up quickly, the food is ready..."
There was also jubilation at Prince Jing's Mansion when they saw Qi Shuo return.
Qi Shuo hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, and went out without even bothering to eat or drink.
"Sir, I heard that Miss Lin was kidnapped by criminals. If you need any help, please let me know."
"Ah Hao has already gone home. I came to see the Grand Commander because of Mr. Fox."
Hearing the name Mr. Fox, Cheng Maoming immediately perked up: "Did the prince get any news about Mr. Fox?"
Just say that the prince is his lucky star!
If Qi Shuo wasn't right in front of him, Cheng Maoming would have wanted to slap his thigh.
"Ah Hao was robbed this time. It's very likely related to her discovering Mr. Fox's whereabouts."
