Chapter 498 Misunderstanding

The third child realized that the man thought that Xiao Xixi was beaten by the third child, so he came to help.

The third child was a little amused.

"Strong man, strong man, you misunderstood, this is my sister, I didn't beat her."

The man obviously didn't believe it, and still didn't let go of the third child, but looked at Xiao Xixi, his eyebrows softened instantly.

"Little sister, you said that your brother will definitely do justice for you."

Qin Xixi looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help laughing.

She found a square towel from somewhere and wiped the blood from her nose.

Suddenly, Xixi turned into a white, tender and clean girl again.

"Little brother, this is my brother. He didn't hit me. Xixi had a nosebleed by herself."

The man half-believed and half-doubtedly let go of the third brother. He saw that Xixi and the third brother did have some similarities in their eyes and eyebrows, and the atmosphere was also very familiar. The man believed it and quickly bowed to apologize to the third brother.

"I'm so sorry, I thought just now..."

The third brother sighed, moved his aching shoulders, and waved his hands to indicate that it was okay. After all, this person also meant well.

The third brother was so generous that the man scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"I'm really sorry, just call me An Li. Meeting is fate. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal at the restaurant in front."

The third brother wanted to wave his hand to refuse, but he was suddenly stunned.

The man in front of him was surnamed An. Could he have any relationship with General An? Are there many families with the surname An in Lingdong? Could it be...

[Great, I ran into General An's stepson An Li here as expected!]

The third brother's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, and before An Li looked over, he quickly concealed the shock on his face.

No way, what a coincidence, they ran into General An's stepson here, is this a coincidence or did Xiao Xixi do it on purpose?

The third brother looked at Xiao Xixi with complicated eyes, and felt that his sister was full of mysteries.

The third brother wanted to refuse, because he didn't want to have anything to do with other people, but An Li in front of him was undoubtedly the most likely way for them to meet General An.

So, when the third brother's words came to his lips, he quickly changed his mind and accepted An Li's invitation.

"I shouldn't have been so shameless to come here to eat for free. My younger sister and I came here to stay with our relatives, but they were nowhere to be seen. We don't have many acquaintances here, and it would be a relief if we could make friends with Brother An. We'll treat Brother An to a meal someday."

The third brother explained his purpose in just a few words. An Li didn't doubt it, after all, it was he who approached Xiao Xixi and the third brother, and they looked like they had come from a long way, and the fatigue between their brows could not be concealed.

So An Li naturally thought that what they said was true, and he automatically helped them complete the story, thinking that they had come from a long way, had spent most of their time, and were poor little guys with nowhere to eat.

Moreover, the third brother had just been misunderstood by him, and An Li felt even more guilty, so he invited them to the best restaurant in Lingdong.

Xixi feasted without any guilt, and after the third brother exchanged a few words with An Li, he wanted to find out some information he wanted to know.

"Brother An, my sister and I are new here, and there are some things we are not sure about. Can you please answer our questions for us?"

An Li naturally agreed very readily.

"No problem, just ask me whatever you want to know."

"We are from the Central Plains, so we have never seen the scenery of Lingdong. I think the appearance of the people here is different from that of the Central Plains, but Master Guan'an is not like that. Could it be that there are nomads here?"

Since the previous dynasty, the Di tribe, who lived on nomadism, had been conquered by Daliang. Compared with the people of Daliang, the appearance of the Di people was a bit rough, so they were named nomads to distinguish them from the people of Daliang.

That's why the third brother had this question, but since he asked this question, it would definitely not be directed at the Di people only.

An Li paused after hearing the third brother's question, and then spoke lightly.

"Oh? There are few traces of nomads in Lingdong. I wonder where did Brother He see these people?"

Hearing An Li's words, the third brother put on a serious face.

"To be honest, Brother An, I do have some knowledge. I observed the appearance of those people on the way here. They don't seem to be the Di people, but more like Miao people..."

Before the third brother finished speaking, he heard the chopsticks in An Li's hand fall to the ground.

He quickly stood up, came to the third brother, shook his hand and asked:

"Miao people? Brother He, are you telling the truth?" The

third brother nodded with some doubts on his face, but he was more certain in his heart. It seems that An Li didn't know that there were signs of Miao people's activities in Lingdong.

Although it is not ruled out that he was pretending not to know.

However, An Li's serious expression next made the third brother sure that he really didn't know.

"Could you please come with me to the mansion and explain in detail where there are signs of Miao people's activities? We can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, the third brother's heart skipped a beat.

Go to the mansion? It is said that An Li is General An's stepson. Could it be that going to the mansion means that they are asked to meet General An?

The third brother was a little confused, but Xiao Xixi nodded before him and said very seriously.

"Brother is right, this is a big deal for Miaojiang. Then let's go back with brother to take a look. But brother, what do you do? Why are you so worried?"

An Li heard Xiao Xixi's innocent question and squatted down to touch her head.

"Brother is investigating a case, so he pays special attention to the safety of the people. Once the Miao people show up, they will definitely cause great harm to the Lingdong area, so brother is so worried."

The third brother immediately showed a shocked expression.

"I didn't expect that Brother An would... It's a coincidence. I didn't expect that we could provide information about the Miao people to the officials in the Lingdong area."

After the meal, An Li brought them to the mansion.

"I didn't explain it to Brother He just now, but the person we are going to meet next is General An, the general of the Lingdong area. Please don't be nervous, Brother He, just tell me the clues you know."

The third brother was already a little numb when he heard Anfu.

He didn't expect that he was still thinking about how to approach Anfu a few hours ago, but now he is about to meet General An.

And the fuse of all this was just because of Xiao Xixi's nosebleed!

The third brother couldn't help but look at Qin Xixi with a complicated expression.
