Qu Li hurriedly followed.
Goudan finally stopped outside an inn. She stood at the door, frowned and pondered for a while. When Goudan was about to rush in, she took out some jerky and fed it into his mouth.
"Dad, that mother-in-law runs so fast!"
Behind me, I heard the voice of the hunter's child.
Qu Li was worried that the night would be too long and might bring more trouble, so he turned his head to take a look, and took Goudan to the alley next to him as quickly as possible, and then entered the space.
"Dad, I clearly saw that mother-in-law run in here, why did she disappear?"
The child looked here and there, his eyes full of wariness.
"Maybe it's just a wolfhound, you must have seen it wrong!" The hunter touched the child's head.
"That mother-in-law..."
"Maybe he's good at martial arts! After all, there are many talented people in this world."
"Oh, that seems to be true."
It was not until the two left that Qu Li, who was hiding in the space, breathed a sigh of relief.
She entered the inn under the cover of space.
The fragrance of Magu became stronger and stronger. Following the fragrance, she came to the number one room at the end of the upstairs.
He dipped his fingers in water and prepared to poke through the tissue paper on the door.
The door opened, and a fierce internal force suddenly attacked her, scaring Qu Li so much that she quickly shrank back into the space.
Afeng rushed out and looked around vigilantly. He didn't see anyone else in the corridor except the waiter who was delivering food to guests in other rooms.
"Did you notice any sneaky people coming up just now?"
Just in case, he called the waiter over and asked for details.
"Sir, just now a young man came up with a food box. What happened?"
A Feng frowned and said, "It's okay, you go and do your work first."
The waiter bowed and left.
Qu Li sat cross-legged in the space, staring at Afeng who still looked wary.
"Afeng and Magu are both highly skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid we can't get close to them anymore."
“Ouch—”
Goudan rolled on the ground, not liking the black fur that affected his appearance.
Afeng closed the door and glanced at the high priest who looked calm.
"High Priest, maybe we were too sensitive just now."
The strange feeling in the High Priest's heart still did not dissipate. "Be smarter recently."
He came here this time just to take Qu Li away.
As long as he took her away, he would immediately set off back to Xiling.
Even with the cheating artifact of space, Qu Li didn't dare to get too close.
The high priest is a pervert. Even when she is hiding at the critical point between space and the outside world, he can still feel her presence.
Fortunately, she now has internal strength, so she can be considered to have sharp ears and eyes.
She couldn't see or hear anything, so she was 100% sure that the high priest was inside.
Magu poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "High Priest, I don't understand. She's just a young girl. You didn't take her seriously before. Why are you so obsessed with bringing her back to Xiling this time?"
Qu Li pricked up his ears.
This was also a question she was curious about.
Bai Fengyao and Bai Zhonghe had obviously had contact with Xiling a long time ago, so why did they ignore the original owner at that time?
The high priest was obviously displeased, his eyes were gloomy, and his tone was stern: "It's best not to interfere in matters that are not your business!"
After being scolded, Magu felt a little aggrieved. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Qu Li thought they would not leave now, so he went back to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Xiao Xian put away the teacup used by Qu Li and was already handling some matters in the study. When he suddenly saw her, he was stunned for a long time.
"The high priest and his men are now at the Yuelai Inn after disguising themselves."
To prevent them from leaving suddenly, Qu Li sprinkled some tracking powder that humans could not smell at the door. Once they left, Goudan could easily find them by the smell.
"However, I must remind you that the high priest is a highly skilled martial artist. He spotted me the moment I approached him."
Xiao Xian's expression darkened. "It's rumored that the High Priest always wears a human skin mask. How can you be sure that the person you saw was the real High Priest?"
"Xiao Xian, are you questioning me?"
"No, I was just wondering, if the high priest really showed up in Dagan Capital, what his purpose would be! Besides, Dagan Capital's defenses are too poor."
"Whatever, I should go now."
"It's getting dark, why don't you stay for dinner?"
"Feel sorry."
They were divorced, and apart from necessary contact, she didn't really want to have too close contact with Xiao Xian.
"Are you afraid of facing me alone?"
When Xiao Xian got angry, his words became several degrees colder.
"I'm afraid of indigestion when facing you." After Qu Li said this, he turned around and left without any reluctance.
Xiao Xian stood there, his facial features distorted by his anger.
Qu Li walked aimlessly on the street, feeling a little lost because of Feng Yi's departure.
She ordered a bowl of noodles at the noodle stall, took two bites, and thought about how to defeat Qian Jiuzhao.
On the third day after Feng Yi left, an urgent report was sent from the north, eight hundred miles away.
After reading the report, Emperor Kang was furious and urgently summoned the Minister of Revenue, the Prime Minister and other important officials as well as several princes to the palace.
The report was circulated among several people, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was heavy.
"There's been a severe drought in the north. It hasn't rained for a month straight, and they've kept it a secret until now!"
"Your Majesty, I will go back now to settle the money in the Ministry of Revenue and allocate funds for disaster relief as soon as possible." said the Minister of Revenue.
"Axian, what do you think?" Kangdi's eyes fell on Xiao Xian's face.
Both Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci felt a little dissatisfied.
They are also the emperor's sons, but over the years, the emperor can only see Xiao Xian.
Both of them clenched their back teeth at the same time. If their gazes could become substance, they would surely tear Xiao Xian into pieces.
Xiao Xian clasped his fists and said, "Father, the drought in the north has long been foreshadowed, yet no one has submitted memorials to the government offices, prefectures, and counties! Not to mention the riots caused by the disaster victims, are they even concealing the autumn harvest?"
This is why Emperor Kang was furious.
If the officials in the north had not concealed the facts and had found ways to deal with the drought earlier, the situation would not have gotten to this point.
Xiao Ci sneered sarcastically, "Seventh brother, the emperor is now asking you how you should resolve this matter, and you're speaking with such indignation, but you haven't hit the nail on the head at all!"
Xiao Rui also added: "Seventh brother, everyone says you are brave and good at fighting, but when it comes to disaster relief, you may not be that good!"
As the three princes fought, the prime minister, the minister of revenue and other court officials could only watch and reduce their presence.
Kangdi's expression grew darker and darker, and he raised his voice, "Since you two say so, do you have any solution?"
Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui were only good at talking. In fact, they had no good way to suppress the riots of the victims and produce a lot of food to feed them.
The two of them became duds in an instant, and Kangdi became even angrier when he saw them like this.
"You don't think about your work every day, you only do these unorthodox things!"
When Kangdi scolded them, he did not give them any face at all. Their faces were ashen, like eggplants hit by frost.
