Qiao Tianjing had a gloomy look on his face as he rode his horse back home. However, as soon as he turned the corner, he ran into the speeding carriage of the Qiao family.

“Oh—”

Qiao Tianjing suddenly tightened the reins and looked at Qiao Shiyi who was driving the carriage with an expression of great surprise.

He was the one who arranged for Qiao Shiyi to guard his younger sister closely, so why did he leave the house?

"Young Master!"

When Qiao Shiyi saw Qiao Tianjing, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now during dinner, he had been waiting outside the house, listening to the lady and the young lady talking about the poorhouse and the thank-you letter, apparently seeming to be in a relaxed and comfortable mood.

But for some reason, the young lady suddenly let out a low cry and then ran straight out of the house.

The lady chased after him, shouting his name with an ugly look on her face.

Then, he heard the little girl, who was only a little over one year old, instructing him seriously to harness the horse and go out, her tone quick and urgent.

Really, he didn’t lie, that’s what the lady said!

He was completely dazed. At the young lady's urgent urging, he harnessed the horse, and then the lady carried the young lady into the carriage.

He had clearly received instructions from the eldest young master to stay at home and take good care of the lady and the young lady, but he ended up leaving the house under the young lady's harsh order...

When he saw the young master at this moment, he really felt like he had seen a savior!

Hearing Qiao Shiyi's call, the car curtain was suddenly lifted, revealing the anxious faces of Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao.

"Brother! Something bad has happened!" Qiao Jiaojiao shouted.

"Little sister!?"

Just as Qiao Tianjing was about to dismount, Qiao Jiaojiao was already waving her hands.

Her life was at stake, and she had no time to cover up or pretend to be an ignorant child anymore.

"Brother, take me on horseback! Take the secret guards and go to the relief house!"

Qiao Tianjing was confused, but he always took Qiao Jiaojiao's words seriously, so he leaned over and hugged her without hesitation.

Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Mrs. Qiao who was worried in the carriage, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, mother, everything will be fine!"

"Brother, let's go!"

Qiao Tianjing immediately clamped his horse's belly and said in a deep voice, "Eleven, follow me. Dalian will escort Madam into the mansion and call Uncle Qiao to hurry to the relief house!"

"yes!"

Qiao Shiyi and Qiao Dalian exchanged positions tacitly and responded sternly.

Qiao Tianjing immediately rode his horse forward!

Qiao Jiaojiao hugged Qiao Tianjing tightly, and asked quickly while they were on the road:

"Brother, have you caught Zhufeng?"

Qiao Tianjing shook his head with a heavy face and asked nervously:

"Little sister, do you think Zhufeng will go to the orphanage? But we have no connection with the orphanage on the surface, and even the expansion is done under someone else's name—"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard that her elder brother had not dealt with Zhufeng, she became more and more uneasy and quickly took over the conversation:

"Brother, the news that we helped the orphanage was kept secret. If others didn't know about it, they wouldn't pay special attention to the orphanage."

"But today, the orphanage sent a special thank-you letter, and I didn't have time to tell you."

"Because I was so preoccupied with the plan of 'luring the enemy into a trap', I had no time to care about anything else."

"It was not until I talked about the thank-you letter with my mother at dinner that I started to think about it."

“Ahem…”

Although Qiao Jiaojiao had tried very hard to practice speaking, she seldom spoke in such a hurry.

At this moment, he coughed several times because of his own saliva, but he endured the discomfort and continued:

"Brother, I think if Zhufeng really, cough cough cough - really wanted to kill us, he would definitely send people to guard outside the mansion day and night."

"He will definitely notice the person who delivered the letter, and then follow him to the orphanage. Then, as long as he asks the people in the orphanage, he will definitely find out that it is our Qiao family who has been helping them."

“Ahem…”

"Brother, I'm afraid that after Zhufeng returns home with nothing from you, he will set his sights on the orphanage!"

“Although I can’t believe that Zhufeng would be so cruel as to attack a powerless child, I still feel uneasy.”

"If we do something bad with good intentions and implicate the children in the orphanage, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid our Qiao family will be held responsible even if we die!"

After Qiao Jiaojiao finished speaking in one breath, she almost couldn't breathe and her face turned pale.

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

If it were in the past, he would not have dared to believe that the Second Prince's men would be so cruel as to attack a child.

But today, he saw the young warriors that the Northern Kingdom had trained in the Yong Dynasty.

He knew in his heart that they had no mercy at all and would even do anything to achieve their goals!

As the night deepened, after leaving Putian Street, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Qiao Tianjing rode his horse with a sullen face, and galloped away even faster after leaving the South City Gate!

Qiao Jiaojiao was almost vomiting from being shaken on the horse's back. She clutched Qiao Tianjing's clothes tightly and tried her best to hold on.

[If Zhufeng and the others really want to deal with the orphanage, it is nothing more than a bet on whether our Qiao family cares or not, and whether we will lose our composure and give them a chance to take advantage of the situation! ]

[So, they should make a big fuss about the situation and let the news reach the ears of our Qiao family! ]

[They should not only be obsessed with killing me now. As long as they are from the Qiao family, as long as they can disturb the mood of father and second brother, their goal will be achieved.]

[So, they must be trying every possible way to lure Big Brother to the orphanage! ]

[If we rush over now, there might be a net set up around the relief house, waiting for Big Brother to take the bait!]

[There is only one Qiao Shiyi behind me, which is not enough! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao said quickly: "Brother, wait a minute! Wait for Uncle Qiao and the others to come together!"

Qiao Tianjing had seen through Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, but he did not slow down his pace. Instead, he said calmly:

"Don't worry, little sister. Job and the others are much faster than us. By the time we get to the orphanage, they should be there too."

Now that he was holding his little sister in his arms, his speed was limited. Qiao Bo and the others were all brave and could ride much faster on horseback.

Qiao Jiaojiao felt relieved when she heard that, and quickly called out the merit panel. In the upper right corner it was written: 125 points of merit.

[There are still 125 merit points left. I just hope nothing happens to the relief home, otherwise this little merit is really not enough to save people! ]

[Old King of Hell, you should know clearly who should be taken in and who should not be taken in! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao was praying silently in her heart when she suddenly heard Qiao Tianjing's exclamation from above her head.

Qiao Jiaojiao was startled and turned her head with difficulty to look forward, only to see a ball of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, extremely conspicuous!

Qiao Jiaojiao's mind suddenly buzzed. If she remembered correctly, that direction was -

The poorhouse!

"Arson! They actually set fire!"

This is indeed the fastest and most effective way to attract other people's attention.

Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely angry. If those children were in the fire...

She didn't dare to think further.

[Is this Zhu Feng really possessed and gone mad? ]

[He must have known that his ambush today had alerted the enemy. From now on, our Qiao family will definitely not give him any more chances.]

[So in order to complete the task assigned to him by the Second Prince, he was so cruel and vicious that he attacked the weak women and children in the orphanage? ]

[But the guards at the South City Gate are no pushovers. If they saw the fire, they would definitely rush over as quickly as possible. Is Zhu Feng so panicked that he didn't even consider this factor?]

[No, he is the Second Prince's right-hand man, and we should not underestimate him. So... is it possible that the city defenders have all been bribed? ]

[Or, they have long been the Second Prince's people! ]

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao felt an indescribable chill all over her body!

The relief house was already in sight, and in the darkness all that could be seen was the raging fire, like a giant dragon sticking out its tongue!

"Young Master!"

At this moment, a powerful call came from behind.
