Aunt Liu was slightly startled at first, and then clapped her hands suddenly.

"Oops, did you forget to tell me?"

"Madam, about May of last year, a homeless girl came to the workhouse. Mother Rong kindly took her in. Since then, the girl has been staying in the workhouse to teach children how to read and write!"

"This slave remembers that Mother Rong seemed to call her... Miss Xiaolan!"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard about this for the first time, she couldn't help but look surprised.

[Miss Xiaolan? To be able to write with such good handwriting, she must be a very knowledgeable girl, right? 】

Mrs. Qiao was convinced when she heard this.

"I never thought there would be such a fate, good or bad."

"Then it will be convenient next time. We will just go see those children and meet Miss Xiaolan by the way."

Mrs. Qiao picked up the piece of paper and read it. It was a letter of thanks written by Miss Xiaolan on behalf of the children in the courtyard. Every sentence was sincere and came from the bottom of her heart.

When Mrs. Qiao saw the end, her heart felt soft.

When she first started doing good deeds, she just wanted to gain merit for Jiaojiao.

But as time went by, she discovered that doing good deeds can really become addictive.

She felt happy from the bottom of her heart to see those children getting help and seeing their situation changed.

"Jiaojiao is also very happy, right?" Mrs. Qiao kissed Qiao Jiaojiao's forehead and asked warmly.

Qiao Jiao held the letter in her petite hands, her eyes gleaming with water, and she nodded heavily.

"Mother, Jiaojiao is happy, they have a big house to live in!"

Warm in winter and cool in summer, no worries about food and clothing.

This was her biggest pursuit when she was in the orphanage in her previous life. She hopes that she can help those children realize it today!

————

"How's it going?"

Zhufeng sat in the quiet room of the inn and asked coldly.

Before His Highness left, he gave him the task of getting rid of the Qiao family's youngest daughter.

But for half a month, the youngest daughter of the Qiao family has never gone out, and the interior of the Qiao family is even more monolithic, impenetrable at all.

He was really worried. If His Highness took action but there was no news from his side, His Highness would be disappointed.

There was a secret guard standing in front of Zhufeng. He shook his head gently and said, "Master Feng, there is no movement in the Qiao family yet."

Zhufeng frowned, and just as he was getting angry, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Zhufeng lowered his voice and asked cautiously.

"Master Feng, there is news from the Qiao family."

Upon hearing this, Zhufeng stood up suddenly and said, "Come in!"

A secret guard pushed open the door and reported in a low voice:

"Master Feng, someone delivered something to Qiao's house today. Our people followed him and found that the person ended up back at the almshouse in the southern suburbs."

"South Suburban Almshouse?"

Zhufeng murmured and repeated, with a puzzled look on his face.

How come the Qiao family is related to the Little Almshouse?

"Check! Go and check quickly!"

His Highness has given instructions to get rid of the Qiao family's youngest daughter at all costs. In this case, he cannot miss any clues and possibilities!

"yes!"

The secret guard responded and quickly retreated.

————

That night, Qiao Tianjing was sitting in the study, planning this matter with Qiao Bo.

Before Qiao Zhongguo left, he gave all the control of the secret guards to Qiao Tianjing and told him to discuss anything with Qiao Bo.

"After hanging over there for half a month, it should be almost done. What do you think, Uncle Qiao?" Qiao Tianjing tilted his head and asked.

Ever since he knew that Zhufeng might attack the Qiao family, Qiao Tianjing planned to "invite you into the urn"!

But Zhufeng was the second prince's right-hand man after all, and Qiao Tianjing did not underestimate him.

Since he wanted to lure him to the bait, he had to hit it with one hit, so he delayed for half a month, deliberately wearing down the opponent's patience.

In this way, it will be easier for Zhufeng to complete their plan!

Qiao Bo nodded convincingly, "The young master has already made up his mind, and my subordinates will listen to the young master."

Qiao Tianjing made up his mind after hearing this.

"In this case, let's implement the plan tomorrow. The second prince is not here, and Zhufeng is the leader over there. We must lure Zhufeng out and kill him on the spot!"

Qiao Bo looked solemn and immediately responded: "Yes!"

————

In the afternoon of the second day, "Mrs. Qiao" came out of the house wearing a curtain, holding "Qiao Jiaojiao" in her arms.

"Qiao Jiaojiao" was completely covered by the curtain, with only her little feet dangling playfully outside.

Qiao Tianjing followed her out of the house, personally helped Mrs. Qiao get into the carriage, got on the horse, and followed her all the way.

On the other side, Zhufeng was listening to the secret guard's report about the workhouse.

"Master Feng, Qiao Mansion has been funding the almshouse since September last year."

"Last year, when Mrs. Qiao took Miss Qiao's family to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, she even entered the almshouse."

"And under Qiao Zhongguo's instruction, they also arranged a way out for the children in the workhouse. Some are now in private schools, and some are learning trades."

"After the year, the Qiao family invested in the expansion of the almshouse. Yesterday, the woman specially sent a letter of thanks to the Qiao family."

When Zhufeng heard this, there was a strange color on his face.

He could tell that the Qiao family was doing something good.

A mere almshouse cannot bring anything in return to the Qiao family. If the Qiao family wanted a good reputation, they could have publicized what they had done.

But they remained silent. If it weren't for this chance discovery of the connection between the Qiao family and the relief home, and the secret guards went to investigate, they wouldn't even know about it.

"Qiao family..."

Zhufeng muttered something absently, but didn't say anything.

At this time, there was a slightly urgent knock on the door, "Master Feng!"

Zhufeng was slightly excited, and immediately shouted seriously: "Come in!"

The secret guard pushed open the door and said quickly: "Master Feng, Mrs. Qiao is taking Miss Qiao out. Qiao Tianjing is accompanying her, and there are four family guards behind her."

Zhufeng's eyes widened slightly, and his voice became much louder, "Seriously?"

The secret guard replied respectfully: "The person who came to report said that he saw a woman carrying a baby on a carriage, but the woman was wearing a curtain and covering the baby, so she couldn't see clearly, but Qiao Tianjing It's true."

Zhufeng heard the words and exhaled slightly.

Another secret guard couldn't help but said after hearing this:

"Master Feng, the Qiao family didn't know about our plan in advance, so they shouldn't be prepared. Besides, no matter who the woman is, as long as the baby is a Miss Qiao family, it will be fine."

Zhufeng nodded slightly when he heard this, but he was still on guard.

"His Highness has already told you not to underestimate the Qiao family..."

He paced back and forth in the quiet room for a few steps, and finally made up his mind and said coldly:

"Whether Qiao Tianjing discovers our intentions or not, we cannot miss such a rare opportunity."

"Let's go and act as planned!"

"If this trip is really a scam, at least Qiao Tianjing is genuine. If that doesn't work, we will take advantage of the situation and get rid of Qiao Tianjing!"

The secret guard looked solemn, followed closely and respectfully accepted the order: "Yes!"

No matter whether they burn incense and worship Buddha or donate money for sesame oil, the dignitaries in Beijing like to go to the Huguo Temple in the southern suburbs.

The Qiao family's carriage went all the way out of the South City Gate, drove on the official road for about half a quarter of an hour, and then turned onto the road to Huguo Temple.

Most people go there in the morning to burn incense and worship Buddha, and in the afternoon they usually go for fun, so there are far fewer people.

For example, at this time, except for the Qiao family's motorcade, there were no other people on the way up the mountain.

Qiao Tianjing rode his horse and followed the car, saying a few words to the people in the car from time to time. Occasionally he would say something interesting and laugh lowly.

On the hillside in the distance, dozens of people were lurking here, staring closely at this scene.

"Master Feng, how are you?" the secret guard asked in a low voice.

Zhufeng's eyes were fixed on Qiao Tianjing's face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly for a while.

"It's Qiao Tianjing, that's right."

When the secret guards heard this, they immediately cheered up.

"Please give me some instructions, Master Feng!"

Zhufeng exhaled slightly and shouted in a low voice: "Where is Gongyue?"

"grown ups!"

Gong Yue was a tall man, whose face was covered so that he couldn't see clearly. He was carrying a simple bow behind him.

Zhufeng ordered in a cold voice: "Gongyue, shoot the carriage!"

"yes!"

Gongyue responded solemnly, took a few steps back, climbed up a tree, adjusted her posture, and drew her bow and nocked an arrow!

The muscles on his arms flexed, and the bow string was stretched to the extreme, making a faint sound that made people feel sad.

call out--

The sharp arrow flew out as fast as lightning!

Without giving anyone any time to react, the arrow shot through the curtain of the carriage!

Zhufeng's heart suddenly lifted!

No matter who in the Qiao family dies today, as long as the news reaches Qiao Zhongguo's ears, it will be enough to make him confused!

"ah--"

Almost at the same time, a shrill female voice came from the Qiao family's carriage, high-pitched, frightened, and full of despair!

Zhufeng clearly saw that Qiao Tianjing suddenly opened his mouth, the blood on his face faded instantly, and he suddenly jumped from the horse to the front of the car!

"mother!!!"

His voice trembled, full of panic.

It's really Mrs. Qiao!

Zhufeng was ecstatic and waved his hand towards the secret guard beside him.

"superior!"

Killing one today is a profit, killing two is a surprise, killing them all will probably drive Qiao Zhongguo crazy!

Qiao Tianjingfang opened the corner of the car curtain, and the four guards following the car gathered around him, whispering:

"There's a thief!"

Qiao Tianjing suddenly turned his head to look, the fear on his face was real, but there was a flash of light in his eyes!

——The arrow must have come from where Zhufeng is! Qiao Bo, it's up to you!

A total of ten killers rushed down the slope, the swords in their hands flashing with dazzling light in the sun, and their killing intent was awe-inspiring.

"Protect the madam and the young master!"

Jiawei roared angrily and faced the attack.

Two fists were no match for four hands, and soon a killer jumped over the guards and attacked Qiao Tianjing and the carriage!

Qiao Tianjing drew his sword and resisted desperately, but his martial arts skills were still poor, and he was immediately forced out of the carriage by the two killers.

Qiao Tianjing looked extremely flustered and asked quickly: "Who are you?"

"Ah--"

The killer sneered contemptuously, turned around and jumped onto the carriage.

Zhufeng looked at the overall situation from the distant slope, and his heart was in his throat when he saw this!

As long as Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao die, they will withdraw immediately!

Zhufeng saw that the car curtain was opened, but the figure of the secret guard was too tall, completely blocking the scene inside the car.

What happened! Why is the secret guard not moving?

Zhufeng was so nervous that he leaned out slightly.

"ah--"

A sharp scream suddenly sounded, and Zhufeng's whole body suddenly stiffened.

Because this scream came from the secret guard!

I saw the secret guard falling backwards, with a dagger stuck in his left eye. The hilt was missing. When he fell to the ground, he was already lifeless!

"If you dare to lift my aunt's curtain, I'll poke your eyes out!"

A figure opened the curtain and came out neatly. Although she was dressed as a woman, her face was clearly that of a girl!

"Master, how was your performance?"

When she straightened up, she was still holding the ankle of a rag doll in her hand.

This is Uncle Qiao's daughter, whose maiden name is Dalian. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a very hot temper!

Qiao Tianjing arched his eyebrows, deflected the incoming sharp sword, and glanced at the opposite hillside in his busy schedule.

The moment he saw the secret guard being stabbed, Zhufeng already had a very bad premonition in his heart.

When Qiao Dalian opened the curtain and walked out, his hunch was confirmed.

At this moment, Zhufeng truly understood the second prince's instructions.

——Never underestimate the Qiao family!

"You've fallen into a trap! Get out!"

Zhufeng stood up suddenly and shouted to the secret guard down the slope.

"Hey, you still want to leave?"

A sinister voice suddenly sounded from not far behind Zhufeng, making the hair on his body stand up!

He suddenly turned around and saw ten men in black surrounding him, and a dagger was placed on Gong Yue's neck!

Zhufeng's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this!

The fact that these people appeared so quietly meant that they had been ambushing here early in the morning, even before he arrived!

"Sir, leave quickly!"

Just when Gong Yue raised her voice, the man in black behind him wiped his neck cleanly!

"Go up, kill on the spot!"

The leading man in black gave an order coldly, and ten people jumped up!

The sound of fighting on the slope was instantly heard, and the second prince's secret guards immediately retreated upon hearing the sound, shouting:

"Protect your lord!"

Qiao Tianjing curled his lips slightly when he saw this.

Still want to leave? Zhufeng wouldn't think that his Qiao family was the only one here today, would he?

"it's here!"

The noise suddenly sounded from behind. The second prince's secret guard looked behind him and saw that the person was wearing official uniform and turned out to be a Daxing County police officer!

Upon hearing the sound, Qiao Tianjing immediately turned around and shouted: "I am Qiao Tianjing, the minister of household affairs. There is a thief here, come and catch him!"

Qiao Tianjing!

When the Daxing County police officer heard that it was the eldest son of the Qiao family, he became more and more anxious and hurriedly raised his knife to help!

"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, my subordinate is Daxing County Detective Chu Sheng, and he will surely bring the thief to justice!"

Eight detectives came in pursuit and immediately entangled the secret guard who was about to withdraw!

Seeing this, Qiao Dalian quickly put away her machete and returned to Qiao Tianjing, whispering: "Master, you didn't say you called the official family!"

Qiao Tianjing smiled lightly when he heard this.

The entire southern suburbs, including the Huguo Temple, are under the jurisdiction of Daxing County. If bandits block the road and kill people, how can we bypass Daxing County?

Since the second prince was so outrageous that he let his subordinates block the road and kill the court officials and their families, could he still keep this matter a secret?

cannot!

Not only was he unable to do so, he wanted to make a big fuss and bring it before the Holy One, so that the Holy One could see just how difficult the situation of the Qiao family was!

As long as Zhufeng is caught today, regardless of life or death, his face will be enough to nail the second prince to the fact of murdering the Qiao family!

Qiao Dalian didn't understand so many twists and turns. Anyway, once the official family came, it would be hard for her to take action.

She stood quietly beside Qiao Tianjing, looking out into the distance, towards the hillside in the distance.

The person leading the team over there is her father, so there must be no problem!

Qiao Tianjing's eyes were heavy and he was also paying attention to the battle situation on the hillside.

There were only two people left beside Zhufeng just now, and now they were three against ten. Winning or losing was just a matter of time.

The Qiao family's secret guards moved without any sloppiness, and their attacks were extremely sharp. They obviously had a killing order.

Zhufeng's heart felt cold. In the past, he only followed His Highness's orders, so he had no intuitive feeling for the Qiao family's methods.

Now that His Highness has left Beijing and everything is up to him, he has seen the horror of the Qiao family!

This time His Highness traveled far away and specifically asked him to get rid of the Qiao family's youngest daughter. This task was not even told to the third person.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Tianjing had already guessed His Highness's intentions, and even laid a dragnet to lure him into the trap!

Moreover, Qiao Tianjing actually attracted Daxing County police officers, who wanted to bring the matter to light!

He cannot be caught under any circumstances. Even if he dies, his body cannot be left to the Qiao family. Otherwise, His Highness will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Holy Emperor and even be recalled urgently!

In this way, everything will be in vain!

Thinking of this, Zhufeng's moves became more and more fierce, desperately trying to find a way out!

Uncle Qiao also didn't expect that Zhufeng, who looked young, could be so powerful in martial arts that he could compete with the second young master.

"Don't defend, attack with all your strength! Keep him!"

Uncle Qiao shouted coldly, and the Qiao family's secret guards rushed forward. In an instant, swords and swords were flying!

Zhufeng did not expect that the quality of this group of secret guards was so high. He tried his best to break through several times, but was repeatedly stopped and suffered several injuries on his body.

He gradually became exhausted and felt depressed in his heart.

Is he really going to fail here today?

If he was really destined to die, he would never allow himself to become His Highness's flaw!

Zhufeng took a sharp breath, and at the critical moment he took out a small dagger from his waist and slashed it straight towards his face!

When Qiao Tianjing saw this scene from a distance, his heart skipped a beat.

There really are no fools around the second prince!

Qiao Bo knew Qiao Tianjing's plan, and when he saw this, he shouted: "Stop him!"

Whoosh whoosh——

At this moment, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the sky sounded without warning, making people tremble.

Qiao Bo suddenly turned around and saw dozens of arrows shooting straight towards them!

"careful!"

Qiao Bo gave a sharp shout and swung his sword to block the sharp arrow that hit his face. When he saw the blackened arrow, his pupils shrank.

"Be careful the arrows are poisonous!"

The Qiao family's secret guards instinctively scattered in all directions to avoid the poisonous arrows.

The small dagger in Zhufeng's hand had already cut open the flesh on his face, suddenly protruding. He subconsciously raised his head and looked towards where the arrow came from, only to see a rickety figure making a gesture to him.

Zhufeng was stunned at first, and then felt ecstatic.

Uncle Zhou!

It was Uncle Zhou who came with the dead soldiers!

Zhufeng immediately dropped his small dagger and took advantage of the opportunity of the Qiao family's secret guards to retreat, and jumped towards Uncle Zhou's location.

At the same time, the dead soldiers rushed over and joined the battle!

The situation is changing rapidly!

On Qiao Tianjing's side, the second prince's secret guards had no intention of fighting anymore. They fought and retreated. After killing three more people, the remaining six people all retreated in defeat.

The police officers in Daxing County are not as capable as the Qiao family's secret guards. Four of them have already failed, and they are still frightened.

Seeing this, Qiao Dalian wanted to chase, but was stopped by Qiao Tianjing.

Those secret guards don't matter, don't expose the strength of the Qiao family too much in front of others, the main thing is Zhufeng!

There was already a fight on the hillside opposite. Detective Chu Sheng walked up to Qiao Tianjing with a knife in his hand and asked with a horrified look on his face:

"Master Qiao, what's going on over there?"

Such a fierce fight, at first glance, is not something that their level can participate in. Once they join, they will probably never return!

Qiao Tianjing didn't want to embarrass these agents. He only asked them to come because he wanted to bring the assassination to light.

"Captain Chu, please clean up this place first."

When Chu Sheng heard that Xian knew what he meant, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended not to see it.

When Qiao Dalian saw the fierce battle on the opposite hillside, she was instantly worried.

"Master, I didn't expect there to be helpers on the other side, what should I do? That Zhufeng is going to run away!"

Qiao Tianjing stood with his hands behind his hands, and when he saw this, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't worry, we have help too!"

He took out a very small bone flute from his girdle, put it to his mouth and blew hard, and a high-pitched and bright sound sounded instantly!

Qiao Dalian looked confused. Unexpectedly, at this moment, another group of people appeared from the bottom of the slope. There were seven or eight people in total, and they were heading straight for Zhufeng!

"This...this is..."

When Qiao Dalian saw this, she couldn't help but open her mouth.

Why didn't she know there was such a group of people? How many trump cards does the young master have? ?

Qiao Tianjing looked solemn.

This group of secret guards are the prince's people!

Before Dad left, Prince Zeng Yang took care of the Qiao family.

Since there is a showdown between the Qiao family and the prince, they naturally need to talk things over.

The Qiao family's secret guards have tasks everywhere and cannot be scheduled too much. Besides...

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing's eyes dimmed slightly.

Even facing the virtuous Crown Prince, it is impossible for the Qiao family to show all their cards. This is the way to protect themselves!

So, he asked the prince for help.

His Qiao family does not have enough manpower and ability, and needs the help of the prince!

The prince did not hesitate to allocate ten people for him to dispatch, using the bone flute as their number!

He originally didn't want to use the prince's people, but now that the situation is forcing everyone to "get into the water" together!

Zhufeng ran all the way, and he couldn't even feel the pain of the flesh on his face being split. Only the blood flowed down his neck and into his clothes, making him tremble.

He thought he could really escape this time, but unexpectedly, a loud flute sounded, and nearly ten more secret guards chased him!

"Damn it, why are there so many people in the Qiao family!"

Zhufeng couldn't help but feel horrified, the strength of the Qiao family was so unfathomable!

The sound of a hidden weapon piercing the air came from behind, and Zhufeng had to stop and turn around to block. With such a delay, the hidden guards got closer and closer.

When Uncle Zhou saw this scene from a distance, he was shocked and frightened. He no longer dared to hold anything back and shouted to the dozens of dead soldiers behind him:

"Leave two people behind and let the rest go up! Hurry! We must save Zhufeng no matter what!"

"yes!"

The dead soldiers were more commanding and forbidding than the secret guards, and they were more ferocious and ignorant of death. They flew down one by one, like rolling stones.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhou felt extremely regretful and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

These dead soldiers are not easy to come by, and the more they are used, the less they are. I am afraid that a lot of them will be lost here today!

Moreover, with such a large number, I am afraid that Qiao Tianjing will find out the clues!

Chapter 224 How can you be so heartless!

This time, the situation finally exceeded Qiao Tianjing's expectation.

He never expected that the other party would have so many dead soldiers!

Dad has clearly arranged contacts at various checkpoints from the Northern Kingdom to the Yong Dynasty, but they have not received any news of any changes so far. How did the Northern Kingdom get so many dead soldiers across?

Qiao Tianjing looked solemn. This problem is extremely serious and must be found out as soon as possible. Otherwise, people from the North will continue to infiltrate and it will definitely cause a disaster!

I don't know if my little sister has foreseen this, but I need to ask as soon as possible when I get back.

Seeing Qiao Tianjing's face, Qiao Dalian knew that this situation was really unexpected.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Qiao Tianjing sighed secretly and shook his head.

"I'm afraid if it doesn't work out, Zhufeng won't be able to keep him."

Qiao Dalian felt anxious when she heard this, "Isn't today's hard work in vain?"

Although there was regret on Qiao Tianjing's face, there was no sign of depression.

"Who says all the hard work is in vain?"

Although they ran away from Zhufeng, today's incident was considered to be a big deal. Those dead soldiers from the Northern Kingdom had obvious appearances, and they happened to be brought before the Holy Lord.

And, more importantly, if the other party can bring in so many dead soldiers at once, there must be something wrong behind it!

This is the biggest surprise today!

As long as the dead man's lair can be dug out, he doesn't believe that the second prince can do it without leaving any traces!

Perhaps this is the fatal blow!

Things were just as Qiao Tianjing expected. Those dead soldiers were not afraid of death, and their almost suicidal attack held back the secret guards of the Qiao family and the prince!

Zhufeng ran all the way, and after meeting up with Uncle Zhou, the two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight under the escort of two dead soldiers.

As soon as Uncle Zhou and Zhufeng left, the dead soldiers no longer wanted to fight and flew away one after another.

When Qiao Tianjing and Detective Chu Sheng walked up the hillside, there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

Qiao Tianjing looked around and saw that those who died were almost all the soldiers who died later.

Qiao Dalian followed Qiao Tianjing closely, fearing that someone would "scam the corpse".

Seeing Qiao Tianjing approaching a corpse, Qiao Dalian hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed him with a quick blow, which made Detective Chu Sheng's pupils shrink.

The little girl next to Mr. Qiao is no ordinary person!

Qiao Tianjing knelt down and without hesitation pulled off the scarf from the dead man's face.

The next moment, he was stunned.

"How......"

Qiao Tianjing was slightly shaken, and immediately walked to the next corpse and quickly pulled off the black scarf on his face.

Another body.

Then another body.

Qiao Dalian was stunned by Qiao Tianjing's operation. Afraid that someone was still alive, she got up and stabbed Qiao Tianjing, and quickly grabbed Qiao Tianjing's arm from behind.

"Master, let your subordinates——"

Before Qiao Dalian finished speaking, she was suddenly stunned.

The eldest young master... The eldest young master's body is trembling!

What...what's wrong with this?

Qiao Dalian was a little frightened. She turned to Qiao Tianjing and saw that her eldest young master was pale and full of fear!

"Young Master!"

Qiao Dalian's expression changed drastically, and without saying a word, she stepped forward and pulled off the masks on all the corpses' faces.

While squatting next to the last corpse, Da Lian also took a closer look with a deep heart.

At this sight, even her careless look changed her expression!

"How...how could it be!"

Qiao Dalian turned around and looked around, and suddenly she felt a coldness penetrate into the seams of her bones, making her whole body feel chilly!

These...these dead soldiers don't look like people from the Northern Kingdom at all. They look completely like people from the Yong Dynasty.

And their faces are all so young, they look like teenagers.

They...they are clearly young men from the Yong Dynasty!

Chu Sheng was shocked by the reactions of Qiao Tianjing's master and servant, and stood there at a loss.

After a while, he finally summoned up the courage to ask: "Master Qiao, what... happened?"

Qiao Tianjing felt an indescribable pain in his heart. At this moment, anger and hatred grew wildly in his heart!

No wonder, no wonder he couldn't figure out how the second prince extradited so many dead soldiers from the North. The Qiao family didn't receive any news at all.

It turned out that there was no need for extradition at all, because the people of the North took advantage of the children of the Yong Dynasty and trained them into dead soldiers of the North!

From today's battle, we can see the huge number of dead soldiers under their command!

Such an evil plan was definitely not the result of just a few years. The second prince was still young at the time and did not have the ability or the scheming to deploy it early.

Therefore, this plan may have been planned very early, even when Princess Yuliu came to Yong Dynasty to get married!

They snare so many young children in the Yong Dynasty, brainwash them for years, instill hatred in them, and enslave them into dead soldiers of the Northern Kingdom!

Now that they have grown into teenagers, they have become the sharp daggers of the Northern Kingdom stabbing the Yong Dynasty!

At this moment, Qiao Tianjing was breathing rapidly and was extremely distressed!

Those are the young men from their Yong Dynasty. To be selected and trained to become death warriors, they must have excellent bones.

Whether mediocre or outstanding, they should have their own lives and decide their own future, but now they have become self-less killing weapons!

How could you be so heartbroken!

How can people from the North be so heartless!

When the second prince took advantage of them, was he secretly happy that Concubine Jade left him such a sharp weapon, or was he also feeling guilty and uneasy?

Qiao Dalian's face turned pale and she had completely lost her mind.

She had never seen such a terrifying look on the gentle young master's face.

"Young... Young Master?" Qiao Dalian stuttered.

Qiao Tianjing clenched his fists tightly, took deep breaths several times, and then said in a deep voice:

"Captain Chu, please report the truth about my assassination on the road. There is no need to hide anything you saw and heard today. Take these corpses back!"

Chu Sheng was just a small catcher. Naturally, he would do whatever the superior officer said.

"yes!"

Qiao Tianjing looked around for the last time, scanning the corpses on the ground one by one, and then walked downhill with a gloomy expression.

This battle lasted for a long time, and when I left the house in the afternoon, the sun was almost setting.

Qiao Tianjing looked at the last clump of afterglow on the edge of the mountain and said coldly: "Da Lian, go back home!"

————

When it was dark, the door of the almshouse was locked.

The children in the courtyard are generally young, and the number of children is usually counted at dusk, and then checked during dinner. If there is no problem, the door is locked and closed.

At this time, everyone was sitting together and having dinner happily.

Since receiving constant help from the Qiao family, life in the hospital has become much easier.

Sheng Xiuran sat aside, feeling the peace and tranquility in the almshouse, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

After staying here for nearly a year, she has completely regarded this place as home.

This time she wrote a letter to the Qiao family and personally wrote words of thanks for the children. She also made a lot of determination.

Since he decided to stay here forever, he would have to meet the Qiao family sooner or later.

The Qiao family is so kind-hearted, so even if they knew she was here, they wouldn't kill her, right?

She then... took a gamble!

This world is so big, she really doesn't want to wander, she really likes it here!

Sheng Xiuran was feeling anxious and sad, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, startling everyone in the room.

Sheng Xiuran happened to want to go outside to get some air, so she smiled and said, "Mom Rong, sit down and I'll open the door."

Sheng Xiuran stood up and walked towards the door, asking loudly: "Who is outside the door?"

Bang bang bang——

The knocking on the door was very urgent, one sound louder than the other, but there was still no response.

Sheng Xiuran's heart suddenly jumped when she saw this, and she asked again: "Who is it? Hurry up and tell yourself your family name!"

Still no response...

Sheng Xiuran had a bad premonition in her heart. She boldly stepped forward and took a closer look outside the door.

When she saw the face outside the door clearly, her whole body froze suddenly, and the blood in her body froze!

"Good Samaritans inside, my son is injured, it's dark in the suburbs now, can you let us stay overnight?"

"The old man has money in his hands, so he won't live in vain. The girl inside should do well!"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, his words were sincere and his tone was full of worry.

If it were an ordinary family with a kind heart, they would naturally open the door to accept guests.

But Sheng Xiuran stepped back with fear on her face, her whole body trembling violently!

You can't admit it!

She will never admit her mistake!

Although the man outside the door covered half of his face with a black cloth, she still recognized him at a glance.

That was Zhu Feng, the bodyguard beside the second prince!

How...how did he get here?

Moreover, although she had never seen the old man who was traveling with Zhufeng, she would never forget the voice until she died!

He was the old man who burned paper money to the adulterer of the Jade Concubine in the rockery that day!

Did they...did they find traces of her and chase her to the almshouse?

Sheng Xiuran was extremely scared. If she was captured, there would be no way for her to survive!

and......

She looked back with tears in her eyes, and there were tiny sounds of laughter and laughter in the bright lights. The children...

Will she kill these children...

Boom, boom, boom!

Seeing that the person inside the door didn't respond for a long time, the person outside the door didn't seem to have much patience, so he raised his hand and knocked several times.

"Miss Xiaolan, what's wrong? Who is it?"

Seeing that the knocking on the door never stopped, Rong's mother could not help but walk out with a puzzled look on her face.

When she saw Qing Sheng Xiuran's panic-stricken look through the light, she was immediately startled.

"Miss Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Xiuran hurriedly stepped forward to grab Rong's mother, gently covered her mouth with her right hand, and shook her head with a pale face.

At this time, the people outside the door may have heard the sound, and they opened the door more hastily. The banging sound shocked the children in the room.

At first there were just a few sparse cries, but that's how children are. When they see others crying, they don't care and burst into tears, and the room suddenly bursts into tears.

"Open the door! Please be kind to the girl inside, my son can't hold it any longer!"

Uncle Zhou's voice outside the door also rose, hinting of impatience.

Sheng Xiuran knew in her heart that no matter what Zhufeng's purpose was, this door must never be opened.

She and the mothers in the courtyard were powerless, let alone those ignorant children. Once Zhufeng was let in, all of them would be like meat on the chopping board!

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiuran breathed quickly, leaned close to Rong's mother and whispered:

"Mom Rong, there are bad people outside the door, we must not let them in!"

She looked around, then quickly walked to the corner, holding a thick wooden stick against the back of the door.

Rong's mother was stunned when she heard this. She had done good deeds and accumulated virtues all her life. She had always been dealing with children in this almshouse, but she had never met any bad people!

This...how can this be good!

Sheng Xiuran was leaning against the wooden stick behind the door, her hands still shaking, but she mustered up the courage to say:

"This guest, our almshouse has rules. We will not open the door after dark. If you and your son need to be taken in, you can go to the Huguo Temple not far away!"

She had to test Zhufeng and the others' intentions!

"Tsk..."

Sheng Xiuran heard an extremely impatient tut, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

If Zhufeng and the others just happen to pass by here, they should leave after being rejected. If they insist on coming in, there must be a scam!

"Girl, my son is injured and can't walk far. The Huguo Temple is still some distance away. He really has no strength. Please take pity on us, father and son!"

Sheng Xiuran trembled when she heard this and thought: It's over!

She retreated hurriedly, walked to the bewildered mother Rong, and quickly lowered her voice and asked:

"Mother Rong, can you contact the Qiao family? There is really an evil person outside the door!"

Rong's mother was so anxious that her face turned blue, and she said in a tearful voice: "Miss Xiaolan, there are thieves outside the door. How can we get past them to find the Qiao family?"

"What should we do? Do they want money or something? We must not let them hurt the child!"

When Sheng Xiuran saw that Rong's mother had completely lost her mind, she knew that she could only rely on herself to deal with this disaster.

She squeezed her hands, her conscience burning in her heart, and finally decided to tell the truth to Rong's mother.

"Mama Rong, listen to me, they are most likely here to arrest me."

"I'm sorry, I have lied to you this year. In fact, my real name is Sheng Xiuran, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qing who has been executed!"

Rong's mother was startled when she heard this.

There were already tears in Sheng Xiuran's eyes.

"Mama Rong, thank you for taking me in this year. I am such a selfish, vain and useless person, but this year I feel like I have lived my life again."

"If there is nothing we can do, as long as they promise not to hurt you, I will go with them!"

Rong's mother was shocked when she heard this, and instantly recovered from Sheng Xiuran's words.

"No!"

Rong's mother held Sheng Xiuran's hand tightly and also shed tears.

"Miss Xiaolan, my God, how could this happen? If you leave with them, will you die?"

Sheng Xiuran had a lump in her throat, and the pain in her heart was indescribable.

She was meant to survive. If the third prince had not taken the risk to send her out of the palace, she would have died quietly in Chonghua Palace!

Today...there are only two regrets today. One is that there is not enough time to teach more children to read and read.

Another thing is...she hasn't been able to avenge the Qingguo Duke's family!

Fortunately...Fortunately, she saved a hand early.

Thinking of this, Sheng Xiuran held back tears and said, "Mother Rong, please leave me alone. I only ask you to promise me one thing."

"Under the kang in my room, the third stone from the left is movable. I hid a letter inside. It is extremely important, more important than my life!"

"If I am really taken away tonight, Mother Rong, please give that letter to the Qiao family, and say... It is Xiu Ran's final work. I swear on my life that I will trust you." Everything I said above is true!"

After Sheng Xiuran's words, the people outside the door seemed to have lost their patience. An old voice whispered:

"Zhufeng, there's nothing to hesitate about. It's just a poorhouse, just burn it down!"

"If the Qiao family really has that kind heart, and if we see the flames here, we will send someone to leak the news, they will come anyway."

"That's when our real chance will be!"

"No!" Zhufeng's voice finally sounded, extremely hoarse, with a real hint of weakness.

When Sheng Xiuran heard the word "Qiao Family", her heart suddenly moved. She quickly suppressed her sadness and came to the door to listen carefully.

At this time, Uncle Zhou spoke again. It was obvious that he was full of disdain for this almshouse, so he didn't even bother to lower his voice.

"Zhufeng, are you feeling compassionate now? Don't forget, this is His Highness's death order!"

Zhufeng coughed a few times, but his voice was still very low, but he was also very insistent.

"Uncle Zhou, this is a workhouse, and there are children from our Yong Dynasty inside. They have no home, and you still want to kill them all?"

"You and I are both for His Highness's great cause, but you can't take the opportunity to vent your dissatisfaction with Yong Dynasty by doing things for His Highness!"

"We are going to deal with the Qiao family, but is there any reason for these children to die? If it is to attract the Qiao family, I have other methods!"

"Zhufeng, you look at me like this!" Uncle Zhou's voice was a little angry.

"Just break the door open. You have to knock on the door politely. Is this a way to achieve something big?"

Sheng Xiuran heard a few words intermittently, and she was stunned immediately after she had already decided to die.

According to what the old man said, they came to the almshouse today to deal with the Qiao family?

Doesn't Zhufeng even know she is here?

Are they going to use the almshouse to lure the Qiao family? Arson again?

Sheng Xiuran's heart was filled with shock. Only then did she realize Zhufeng's intention. She kicked the door with a strong force, causing a loud "bang" sound!

Qiao Tianjing looked gloomy and rode back. As he turned the corner, he met the Qiao family's carriage that was speeding.

"Uu——"

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

He arranged for Qiao Shiyi to be a close guard by his little sister's side. Why did he leave the house?

"Young Master!"

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

When he had dinner just now, he stayed outside the house and listened to his wife and the young lady chatting about the almshouse and the thank-you letter. It was obviously very relaxing and comfortable.

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

The lady chased him out, shouting his name and looking very ugly.

Then, he heard the young lady who was just over a year old tell him to harness the horse and go out with a serious face, her tone was fast and urgent.

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

He was completely confused. He harnessed the horse at the urgent urging of the lady, and then the lady hugged the lady and got into the carriage.

He clearly had the eldest young master's order to guard his wife and young lady in the mansion, but in the end he left the house under the young lady's stern order...

Seeing the eldest young master at this time, he really felt like he saw a savior!

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

"Brother! It's not good!" Qiao Jiaojiao shouted quickly.

"Little sister!?"

Qiao Tianjing was about to turn over and dismount, but Qiao Jiaojiao waved her hands repeatedly.

Her life was at stake, and she had no time to hide it and pretend to be an ignorant child.

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

Qiao Tianjing was confused, but he always attached great importance to Qiao Jiaojiao's words, and he immediately reached out and hugged her to him without hesitation.

Qiao Jiaojiao turned to look at Mrs. Qiao who looked worried in the carriage, and said urgently: "Don't worry, Mom, everything will be fine!"

"Brother, let's go!"

Qiao Tianjing immediately tightened his grip on the horse's belly and said in a deep voice: "Follow me on November 1, Mrs. Da Lian will come into the house, call Uncle Qiao, and hurry to the almshouse!"

"yes!"

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

Qiao Tianjing immediately rode forward!

Qiao Jiaojiao hugged Qiao Tianjing tightly and asked quickly while rushing:

"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 almshouse? But we have no connection with the almshouse on the surface. Even the expansion is in the name of others -"

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

"Brother, there was no word about our work helping the relief home before. If others don't know about it, they won't pay special attention to the relief home."

"But today, the workhouse sent a special letter of thanks, and I didn't have time to tell you."

"And because I had the plan of 'asking you to enter the urn' in mind, I didn't care about him."

"It wasn't until dinner just now when my mother and I were chatting about thank-you letters that I became interested."

"Cough cough cough——"

Although Qiao Jiaojiao has practiced speaking very hard, she rarely speaks in such a hurry.

At this moment, he choked on his own saliva and coughed several times. He endured the discomfort and continued:

"Brother, I think if Zhufeng really wants to kill us, he will send people to guard the house day and night."

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

"Cough cough cough——"

"Brother, I'm afraid that after Zhufeng fails at your place, he will set his sights on the workhouse!"

"Although I can't believe that Zhufeng would be so crazy as to attack a child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, I still feel uneasy."

"If we do bad things with good intentions and harm the children in the workhouse, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid our Qiao family will die ten thousand times and we will not be able to escape the blame!"

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

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

If it had been in the past, he would not have believed that the people under the second prince would be so frantic and would take action against children.

But today, he saw those young dead soldiers trained by the Northern Kingdom 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!

The night was getting darker, and after leaving Putian Street, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

Qiao Tianjing rode his horse with a sullen expression, and even galloped away after leaving the south city gate!

Qiao Jiaojiao was so shaken on the horse that she almost vomited. She clutched Qiao Tianjing's clothes tightly and gritted her teeth to hold on.

[If Zhufeng and the others really want to deal with the workhouse, they are just betting that if our Qiao family doesn't care, we will mess up our position and give them the opportunity to take advantage of it! 】

[So, they should make a big deal out of 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 members of our Qiao family, as long as they can disturb the minds of father and second brother, their goal will be achieved. 】

[So, they should be trying their best to lure the eldest brother to the almshouse! 】

[If we rush there now, maybe a dragnet has been set up around the workhouse, just waiting for the big brother to take the bait! 】

[There is only Qiao Shiyi behind you, which is not enough! 】

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

Qiao Tianjing had already understood Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, but he did not slow down, but said calmly:

"Don't worry, little sister, Qiao Bo and the others are much faster than us. By the time we get to the workhouse, they should be here too."

He is holding his little sister in his arms now, and his speed is limited after all. Qiao Bo and the others are brave, and riding a horse is much faster.

Qiao Jiaojiao felt a little relieved after hearing this, and quickly called up the merit panel. In the upper right corner, it read: 125 points of merit.

[There are 125 merit points left. I just hope nothing happens to the almshouse, otherwise such a small amount of merit will not be enough to save people! 】

[Old King of Hell, you should be clear about who should be accepted and who should not be accepted! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao was praying secretly in her heart, when Qiao Tianjing's exclamation suddenly came from above her head.

Qiao Jiaojiao was suddenly startled. She turned her head and looked forward with difficulty. She saw a ball of fire suddenly light up in the dark night, which was extremely conspicuous!

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

Almshouse!

"Arson! They actually set fire!"

This is indeed the fastest and most effective way to attract others' attention.

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

She didn't dare think about it anymore.

[Is this Zhufeng really possessed and crazy? 】

[He must know that his ambush today has alerted the enemy, and our Qiao family will definitely not give him any chance again. 】

[So in order to complete the task assigned to him by the second prince, he was so vicious that he attacked young and weak women and children in the almshouse? 】

[But the guards at the south city gate are not vegetarians. If they see the fire, they will come as quickly as possible. Is Zhufeng so panicked that he doesn't even take this factor into consideration? 】

[No, he is the second prince's right-hand man. We cannot underestimate him. So... is there a possibility that all the city defenders have been bribed? 】

[In other words, they have been the second prince's people for a long time! 】

When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao felt an indescribable coldness all over her body!

The almshouse was already in sight, and in the darkness all one could see was the fierceness of the fire, like a dragon sticking out its tongue!

"Young Master!"

At this moment, a powerful call came from behind.

Qiao Jiaojiao tried her best to look over Qiao Tianjing's shoulder and saw Qiao Bo galloping towards him with nearly twenty secret guards.

The closer they got, the more concentrated they became, seeming to form a rope in the dark night!

Qiao Jiaojiao was lifted up by this majestic scene and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, Uncle Qiao is here!"

"Uu——"

Qiao Tianjing tightened the reins and slowed down slightly, and Qiao Bo and others caught up in an instant.

Qiao Bo obviously saw the fire in front of him, his eyebrows were heavy and murderous!

He had been to the almshouse before. At that time, he received an order from the general and went to the almshouse specifically to select good young men for martial arts training.

Now those children are still practicing martial arts under him. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the relief home would encounter such a disaster!

Although Qiao Tianjing was extremely angry and resentful, since his father was not here, as the backbone, he had to remain calm at all times!

"Qiao Jiu!"

Qiao Tianjing gave a low drink.

"My subordinate is here!"

A tall man responded solemnly.

Qiao Tianjing raised his voice and said, "Go to the Daxing County government office and ask the arresting officer Chu Sheng directly to bring his people to arrest the thief! You must be quick!"

"yes!"

Qiao Jiu took the order, turned the horse's head without saying a word, and ran into the night alone.

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded immediately after hearing this.

[There will definitely be a fierce battle soon. If there is no third party force, I am afraid that our Qiao family will fight with the second prince's people to the end, and the casualties will be immeasurable! 】

[If the eldest brother wants to confront the Second Prince's people head-on, and me following him will be in the way, why not take the opportunity to go around and visit the almshouse! 】

[In case those children are really trapped in the sea of fire, maybe my merit points can save their lives! 】

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately raised her head and said, "Brother, I want to go back!"

"Little sister..."

Qiao Tianjing's original intention was for the secret guard to take the little girl back to Qiao Mansion now, but he was really worried that the little girl would be in danger.

But he also knew that Xiaomei's Merit Mall could really turn decay into magic.

Moreover, the life and death of the children in the almshouse were unknown at this time, and the little sister would refuse to leave no matter what.

"Brother, I really can't leave!"

Qiao Jiaojiao clutched Qiao Tianjing's clothes and begged.

This time, it is not only her disaster, but also the disaster of the children in the workhouse.

As long as there was a chance, she would see if those children were okay!

Qiao Tianjing sighed secretly in his heart, then his expression became firm in an instant, and he turned to Qiao Bo and said:

"Uncle Qiao, you personally protect the lady around the almshouse. Do whatever the lady asks you to do. Remember, you must listen to the lady!"

Uncle Qiao originally thought that the eldest young master asked him to escort the young lady back to his house, but when he heard that he was going around the corner, his face changed drastically in shock.

this......

The young lady is just a baby over one year old. Isn't this... asking for death?

Qiao Tianjing didn't have time to explain too much. Qiao Bo was someone he could absolutely trust. He could only feel at ease by entrusting his little sister to Qiao Bo.

"Job!"

Qiao Tianjing gave a low cry and handed over Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

Although Qiao Bo had doubts in his heart, the eldest young master's words were military orders, and he still chose to carry them out without reservation.

He stretched out his hands, took Qiao Jiaojiao firmly, slowed down his horse immediately, and then left the team and drove to the right.

"Brother, be careful!"

Qiao Jiaojiao sat in front of Qiao Bo and shouted at the top of her voice.

However, Qiao Tianjing did not hear this instruction. He had already led other secret guards and rushed to the almshouse resolutely!

Since the little sister wants to move around, he must also be responsible for attracting the enemy's attention and creating more opportunities for the little sister!

I hope the police from Daxing County can come faster!

The wind whistled past her ears, and Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the approaching fire, with a serious look on her face.

Qiao Bo's horse was very stable, and Qiao Jiaojiao didn't even feel too many bumps.

Soon, the sound of fighting came from the left, and the sound of swords clashing was carried in the wind, like someone shouting.

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that the eldest brother and the second prince were facing each other!

"Uncle Qiao, let's abandon our horses!"

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head and spoke, her voice full of childishness, but calm and calm.

Qiao Bo was shocked!

He pondered the meaning of the eldest young master's order all the way, but he couldn't figure out why the eldest young master wanted him to take the young lady deep into dangerous places.

But at this moment, when he heard the young lady's adult-like tone, he was shocked but also vaguely understood.

"yes!"

Qiao Bo slowly tightened the reins until the horse stopped silently, then he jumped off the horse with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms.

Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head and looked around. The originally fierce fire was already showing signs of weakening.

She didn't dare to think whether the almshouse had been completely burned down, and the fire then subsided.

"Uncle Qiao, please, let's go over there and make sure no one finds us!"

Qiao Bo looked at Qiao Jiaojiao in surprise again, but without asking any questions, he leaned against the weeds as high as a person and approached the firelight.

Qiao Jiaojiao could vaguely feel the heat on her face. They were getting closer to the fire!

Because of this, Qiao Jiaojiao was so nervous that she even heard her own heartbeat.

She was in agony inside!

[Please, God bless me. Even if there is any disaster, please bear it all on me. Don't hurt those children! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao kept praying in her heart. She had also been out of an orphanage. She could really empathize with those children.

Children who grow up in orphanages have to work very hard just to survive.

The weeds in front of him became thinner and thinner, and Qiao Bo also cautiously slowed down his pace.

Soon, under the dazzling firelight, a brand-new building came into view, intact!

And where the fire came from was a high pile of hay, with a lot of dry firewood and branches piled high underneath.

【Thank God! Thank God! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao almost cried with joy when she saw the almshouse standing there!

Fortunately, fortunately Zhufeng was not so conscientious that he did not spare his own compatriots or even innocent children!

The human heart is the most unpredictable, so it creates thousands of accidents and coincidences, and also makes the direction of everything confusing and difficult to fathom.

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely lucky. She guessed wrong and Zhufeng did not burn down the almshouse!

Uncle Qiao felt that Qiao Jiaojiao's body was trembling. He helped her move along her back very unfamiliarly and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what do you want now?"

He also wants to confirm whether his young lady is really born with precocious intelligence and is different from ordinary people, or is it his delusion!

Qiao Jiaojiao took a deep breath. She still couldn't feel at ease before she saw those children with her own eyes!

"Uncle Qiao, can you go into the almshouse and have a look?"

"Be careful. Since we can think of going around, the other party may also have expected it. Be careful that there are traps inside!"

When Qiao Bo heard this, he was really convinced.

No wonder the eldest young master specifically told him to listen to the young lady.

"Miss, don't worry, I still have some skills!"

Having said this, Qiao Bo suddenly raised his breath and quietly came to the outer wall of the almshouse.

After the expansion, the outer wall of the almshouse has been raised a lot, but this can only protect against ordinary thieves. For people with strong martial arts skills, this high wall is still like nothing.

Qiao Bo jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall with his right hand, and quietly stuck out his head with Qiao Jiaojiao.

By the light of the fire not far away, the scene in the almshouse was clearly visible.

Except for a few houses with closed doors, the yard was quiet and there was no trace of anyone.

Qiao Jiaojiao mentioned it again with a heartbeat.

There are many swaddling babies in the almshouse, but why don't they even cry?

However, since Zhufeng did not directly burn down the almshouse, Qiao Jiaojiao had a glimmer of hope in her heart that Zhufeng would not kill those children!

Qiao Bo's eyes were as bright as a torch. After looking around, he held Qiao Jiaojiao lightly and fell into the courtyard.

Qiao Jiaojiao and Mrs. Qiao had been to the almshouse before. This time it was just an expansion, and traces of the past could still be seen vaguely.

After carefully identifying it, she pointed forward and to the right.

That should be the old room where the Datong Shop used to be!

Qiao Bo has extremely high military qualities. Since he has received the order from the eldest young master, he will absolutely obey the young lady.

Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao had a goal, he secretly cheered and walked cautiously inside.

Qiao Jiaojiao held her breath and looked solemn, always paying attention to the movements around her.

Qiao Bo quickly stood in front of the designated room. He turned his head and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao, waiting for the next instruction.

Qiao Jiaojiao first called up the Merit Mall, letting the panel float beside her, and then nodded solemnly.

open!

Qiao Bo reached out and gently pushed open the door.

"squeak--"

The very light squeaking sound already made the hairs on Qiao Jiaojiao's body stand up!

Fortunately, the firewood burning not far away would occasionally make a crisp crackling sound, which was enough to cover up the movement here.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked inside intently. As the door was opened, she saw dozens of babies lying on the bunk.

In front of the bunkhouse, there were dozens of older children sitting, but all of them had their hands and feet tied and their mouths stuffed with cloth bags.

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart trembled suddenly, she found it!

Qiao Bo sneaked in with Qiao Jiaojiao and quickly closed the door.

He looked around and made sure there was no one else around, then nodded to Qiao Jiaojiao.

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly said silently: "Uncle Qiao, I'm coming down!"

Qiao Bo leaned over and put Qiao Jiaojiao down, and she immediately trotted over to the children.

In the flickering firelight outside the house, she saw the children leaning on one spot with their heads tilted.

There were still wet tears on their faces. I wonder if they were tired from crying, so they huddled together and fell asleep.

Qiao Jiaojiao quickly climbed onto the bunk using her hands and feet, and saw that the children above were breathing steadily and evenly, and they were all sleeping soundly.

Stay alive!

Everyone is still alive!

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes instantly became wet, and her intense worry was finally relieved at this moment.

She leaned over and lay down next to the nearest baby. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she guessed that Zhufeng must have given them a drug similar to drowsiness.

Otherwise it would be difficult for so many children to sleep so peacefully.

Qiao Jiaojiao slipped down the main bunk, looked at each one, and then stood in front of a child who looked to be the oldest.

I have to ask the governor's child what is going on in the almshouse and where Mother Rong and the others have gone.

Qiao Bo saw Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, followed her and squatted in front of the child, and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at it curiously, and saw Qiao Bo uncork the bottle and put it under the child's nose.

She vaguely smelled a very refreshing smell.

Within a few breaths, the child's eyelids trembled.

Seeing this, Qiao Bo put away the porcelain bottle. When the child slowly opened his eyes, he immediately raised his hand to press the child's chin to prevent him from making any noise.

"Well!"

As soon as the child opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar face, his pupils were really frightened.

"Hush! Hush! Don't make any noise, I'm here to save you."

Qiao Bo was very good at comforting people. He lowered his voice, his tone was extremely gentle, and he would gently rub the child's back.

"Look, I came in secretly. You are a big kid. I believe you are sensible, so I wake you up and don't make a sound, otherwise everyone will be in trouble."

Job held the child's head and turned it from side to side, letting him see that his brothers and sisters were all safe and sound.

Qiao Jiaojiao stood aside, watching the child go from frightened to calm, admiring Qiao Bo in her heart.

Qiao Bo is indeed dad's most trusted right-hand man, and he really gives people a sense of security!

"I'll let you go now and you can answer my questions quietly, okay?" Qiao Bo asked patiently.

The child nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Qiao Bo gently untied the child.

When he was free, he immediately took off the cloth bag from his mouth. As expected, he didn't make any noise.

Qiao Bo turned to look at Qiao Jiaojiao, indicating that he could ask.

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded immediately and asked in a low voice: "What is your name? What happened today? Can you tell me?"

Although the child felt that the sister in front of him looked so small and did not understand why she looked more like a little adult than him, he still nodded obediently and said:

"My name is Sanyi, I'm the eldest kid here."

"We were having dinner tonight when someone knocked on the door. Sister Xiaolan went out first."

"But the knocking on the door didn't stop and was very loud, which scared us, so Rong's mother also went out."

"I don't know what happened, but suddenly there was a bang in the front yard, like thunder! Then there was a noise!"

"My brothers and sisters were all scared and cried, someone broke in!"

"Mother Rong was knocked unconscious to protect us, and then sister Xiaolan stood in front of us."

At this point, Sanyi's body began to tremble uncontrollably. He was really scared.

"One of the bad guys who broke in was an old man. He said he would set us on fire and use us as hostages to lure us out of Qiao's house."

"Sister Xiaolan was protecting us. When she saw the old man was about to take action, she suddenly pulled off the veil on her face."

"Sister Xiaolan's face has always been covered with gauze. We asked her about it and she said she was too ugly and was afraid of scaring us."

"After the veil was pulled off, the old man and the elder brother were stunned. They seemed to know Sister Xiaolan."

"In order to protect us, Sister Xiaolan said that she knew a big secret. As long as she dies, this secret will be known to the world."

"She didn't allow the bad guys to hurt us, saying that as long as the bad guys were willing to let us go, she would destroy the secret."

"But the old man didn't believe it. He wanted to be cruel. Sister Xiaolan suddenly said something about rockery and condolences, and the old man was frightened!"

"In the end we were tied up and drugged, and Sister Xiaolan was dragged away by that old man!"

At this point, Sanyi burst into tears. He covered his mouth desperately, but still let out a low sob.

"What should I do! Uncle, please, please save us, save Mama Rong, save Sister Xiaolan!"

Qiao Jiaojiao felt very sad when she heard this.

She knew that the child in front of her was really frightened.

Also, Sister Xiaolan?

According to Sanyi, both Zhufeng and Uncle Zhou knew that sister Xiaolan, and she seemed to know some great secrets, otherwise Uncle Zhou would not be easily threatened.

Qiao Jiaojiao had a clear idea of the whole incident. It seemed that these children were safe and sound, thanks to sister Xiaolan who worked so hard.

After hearing this, Qiao Bo asked in a low voice: "Miss, what do you want now?"

Sanyi originally thought that Qiao Bo was the person in charge, but he didn't expect that he would ask his little sister for her opinion instead.

Sanyi was stunned when he saw Qiao Jiaojiao's petite appearance, not knowing who to ask for help.

Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts were flowing, and then she said:

"Uncle Qiao, these children should not be in danger for the time being, but it's hard to tell about Sister Xiaolan. Let's go look for her again and hope to save her!"

When Sanyi heard Qiao Jiaojiao's words, his eyes widened suddenly and he subconsciously exclaimed:

"Uncle Qiao? The Qiao family! Are you the Qiao family?"

So the uncle and little sister in front of me are from the Qiao family! It's the Qiao family who has been helping them!

But...but the reason why those thieves broke into the almshouse and committed mischief tonight was to threaten the Qiao family with them!

They just wrote letters of thanks during the day, but they didn't expect to encounter such a disaster at night!

Sanyi was extremely confused. He was still young, and he had too much fear accumulated in his heart.

Mother Rong was his god and sister Xiaolan was his teacher. The sky fell overnight and everything was gone. He couldn't control his emotions at all.

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't expect that Sanyi, who was fine just now, would scream out, her heart suddenly lifted, and she looked steadily at the door.

Qiao Bo shouted in his heart that something was wrong and hurriedly covered Sanyi's mouth.

Sanyi was slightly startled at first, and then his eyes widened in horror.

It's over, has he done something bad?

The next moment, dense footsteps came from the yard, and a low-spirited voice sounded:

"Who is inside! Mr. Zhou, I seem to have heard the word 'Qiao Family'!"

It suddenly became noisy outside.

After receiving Master Zhou's orders, they were about to grab a few children and use them to threaten the tough-talking woman. Unexpectedly, there was a sound coming from the room!

Qiao Bo's expression changed, and he immediately let go of Sanyi. He turned around and walked to the door and glanced. There were at least a dozen people outside!

"Miss, I've been discovered!"

Sanyi knew that he had caused trouble and kept saying sorry, his face turned pale and trembling with fear.

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at him and sighed secretly, but her expression didn't change much.

Since she dared to go into danger alone with Qiao Bo, she naturally prepared for the worst and thought of countermeasures.

"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, our main task is to delay!"

Qiao Jiaojiao knew from the beginning that she and Qiao Bo alone could not take away so many children quietly.

What's more, her small body is someone who needs to be taken care of.

The reason why she insisted on coming was not only to confirm whether these children were safe and sound, but also because she was afraid that Zhufeng and the others would become angry after their failure and vent their anger on the children in the workhouse when they retreated!

What she and Qiao Bo have to do is to protect these children before their eldest brother arrives with his people!

Uncle Qiao counted carefully and found that there were sixteen people outside. If it was just him and the lady, he could naturally take the lady away with all his strength.

But with so many kids in the house...

But if they really want to do what the lady said, how can they delay time?

"Is there any Qiao family in the house?"

Outside the house, an old voice sounded, with a hint of cruelty and excitement.

Qiao Jiaojiao's expression changed slightly when she heard this.

There is only one old man beside the second prince, Uncle Zhou who is responsible for contacting the Northern Kingdom!

Just now I heard someone shout "Master Zhou", it must be Uncle Zhou staying in the almshouse, while Zhufeng led the dead men to intercept and kill the elder brother!

Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao had no instructions, Uncle Qiao didn't speak.

Uncle Zhou waited for a while outside the house and immediately lost his patience.

"Be silent, right? Then I will set fire to this room and see if you can get out!"

The secret guard standing next to Uncle Zhou changed his face when he heard this, and hurriedly whispered:

"Master Zhou, Master Feng said, don't hurt those children."

"idiot!"

Uncle Zhou scolded angrily. Compared with the way he groveled in front of the second prince, he seemed to have lost a bit of his age at this moment, and even his back was much straighter.

"Zhufeng is so indecisive and a woman's kindness! The people hiding inside are the Qiao family. If you kill one of them, you will make a profit!"

The secret guard's face turned extremely ugly when he heard this. He pursed his lips for a long time, but he did not dare to disobey Uncle Zhou.

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, she clenched her fists and felt extremely angry.

[Then Zhufeng still has humanity and a bottom line at least. This Zhou Bo is not of my race. I am afraid he would like to destroy the flowers of our Yong Dynasty! 】

"People inside, listen! I count to three. If you don't come out obediently, I will set fire to the house and let all those children be buried with you!"

Uncle Zhou threatened, Qiao Jiaojiao stood on tiptoes and saw a light source approaching, it should be a torch!

Qiao Bo's heart was startled and he turned to look at Qiao Jiaojiao.

How to break the situation now?

On the eldest young master's side, at least they have to wait until Qiao Jiu arrives with Daxing County's policemen before they can quickly determine the winner.

By then Zhufeng will retreat with his people, and the situation in the courtyard will probably become even more critical!

"one!"

Uncle Zhou's voice sounded coldly, with a sense of excitement that the overall situation was in control.

"two!"

Qiao Bo hurriedly turned around and was about to pick up Qiao Jiaojiao, but Qiao Jiaojiao stopped him and whispered:

"Uncle Qiao, no matter what you see or hear in a while, don't panic or be afraid. I will explain it to you personally afterwards!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's face was extremely solemn, and she looked at Uncle Qiao without any hint of panic.

Qiao Bo was stunned for a moment.

Now that there are dozens of children's lives tied behind him, even he, a veteran who has experienced many battles, has his heart pounding. What can the lady do?

"three!!!"

"Wait!"

An extremely clear voice suddenly sounded, not only Uncle Zhou outside the house, but also Uncle Qiao inside the house trembled!

Chapter 230 Your Highness, are you really back?

"Little... miss, you..."

Qiao Bo's expression changed drastically, he looked at Qiao Jiaojiao in disbelief, his eyes suddenly widened!

He saw the young lady open her mouth to speak, but this voice... it was a clear and clear teenage voice, which could not be produced by the young lady at all!

Compared with Uncle Qiao's shock and surprise, Uncle Zhou outside the house was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground!

This voice was so familiar to him that it was engraved in his bones, and he could never mishear it.

This...this is clearly His Highness's voice!

In the room, Qiao Jiaojiao saw a faint smile in her eyes when she saw Qiao Bo's slightly funny look.

There is also a merit mall panel floating next to her, and in the upper right corner, the merit point at this time is - 115.

At the extremely critical moment just now, Qiao Jiaojiao redeemed a "Fake" charm and used it on herself.

And the voice she imitated was none other than the second prince Shen Yuanbai!

Not only is this "deception" charm cheap, but it can also be used flexibly!

Uncle Zhou outside the house was really frightened, wasn't he?

The time limit for a "Fake" Talisman is a quarter of an hour. With more than 100 points of merit, she is more than enough to pretend to be a ghost!

"This...you...who is in the house!"

Uncle Zhou's expression changed drastically, and he raised his voice and asked in surprise!

Qiao Jiaojiao glanced at Qiao Bo next to her in a comforting way and continued:

"Uncle Zhou, can't you even recognize my voice?"

"Your Highness...Your Highness? Is it really you?"

Uncle Zhou was so surprised that his face was full of horror, and he was completely confused for a moment.

Isn't His Highness on the way to Nanli Country? How would it appear here?

No! It must be a lie!

This is Qiao's trick! It's nothing more than ventriloquism that can't be put on the stage!

Qiao Jiaojiao opened her mouth and started spouting nonsense.

"Of course it's this palace! Uncle Zhou, you and Zhufeng really let this palace down. They just asked you to deal with the Qiao family, but they actually made such a big fuss."

Uncle Zhou was completely confused when he heard this.

His Highness was brought up by him, and His Highness's voice was very familiar to him. Even if it was slightly off, he was confident that he could hear it!

But this voice is really exactly the same as His Highness!

Not only was Uncle Zhou in a mess, the secret guards following him looked at each other in confusion, and Monk Zhang Er was confused.

Naturally, they could not recognize His Highness's voice, but looking at Uncle Zhou's appearance, could it be that His Highness was really in the house?

"Your Highness, you...why are you here? Now that you are back, why don't you want to see this old slave?"

Qiao Jiaojiao had long known that Uncle Zhou would say this, and she had been preparing in her heart!

"Of course I don't trust you and Zhufeng, so I turned around halfway. I didn't expect that you guys couldn't succeed."

After Qiao Jiaojiao finished speaking, she quickly lowered her voice and said to Uncle Qiao: "Uncle Qiao, I'm going to transform, don't be afraid!"

She turned her head and tapped lightly on the shopping mall panel nearby, and whispered in her heart:

【Convert! 】

As soon as Qiao Jiaojiao finished speaking, a layer of white mist filled her body.

Behind him, Sanyi was already on tenterhooks and extremely guilty. But now that he saw such a strange scene, he screamed in fright, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

Qiao Bo was also so horrified that he kept retreating and was in a state of confusion!

I saw the white mist rolling and condensing on the young lady's body. Her figure slowly became taller and larger, and in the blink of an eye she completely changed into a different person!

When the white mist dissipates, look at that nose and eyes, they are exactly the same as the second prince!

"Little little... miss!"

A calm person like Qiao Bo was so frightened that he immediately turned into a stutter!

Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao quickly grinned at Qiao Bo with an innocent smile and bright eyes.

Job:! ! !

God...oh my God, the second prince's face looks even scarier with this smile!

Qiao Jiaojiao raised her feet, only to feel that her body was extremely heavy. She almost fell down after taking two steps.

Qiao Bo: "..."

Qiao Jiaojiao was a little embarrassed and whispered: "I really don't get used to such a big body all of a sudden. Uncle Qiao, you hide first!"

After talking to Uncle Qiao, Qiao Jiaojiao walked towards the door, her posture twisted and her whole body swaying.

Qiao Bo: "..."

Exploding, so explosive! He must be dreaming!

And although the second prince is an enemy, he is still a magnificent figure. Now... the more he looks at him, the more he looks disgusting!

At this time, Uncle Zhou's urgent voice sounded outside the door again.

"Your Highness, can you... this old slave please see you?"

Qiao Jiaojiao walked to the door with difficulty, stood still, raised her head and chest, opened the door generously, and appeared in front of everyone!

"Uncle Zhou, what are you suspecting?"

The "Second Prince"'s voice was low, with a look of displeasure on his face.

The courtyard was brightly lit by torches, and the moment the "Second Prince" appeared, everyone saw it clearly!

"Your Highness!"

Uncle Zhou's whole body trembled, and he was suddenly surprised and happy!

Everyone was startled at first, and then they knelt down on the ground!

"See Your Highness!"

"Your Highness! You are really back!"

Uncle Zhou couldn't wait to come forward, but Qiao Jiaojiao quickly closed the door with quick eyes and hands.

boom!

Almost as soon as the door closed, a cloud of white mist appeared on the "Second Prince"'s body, which slowly shrank and melted, turning back into Qiao Jiaojiao's appearance.

With such a miracle happening in front of his eyes, Qiao Bo could hardly hold his jaw. At this moment, he really wanted to kneel down to Qiao Jiaojiao!

Qiao Jiaojiao was also tired, and she was quite exhausted mentally and physically at the moment.

In a short period of time, she used the "false" talisman for her onomatopoeia and the "false and false" talisman for her appearance. She spent 90 merit points in one go.

This fake talisman can transform into someone else's appearance, but it is cheap after all, so the time limit is very short.

Qiao Jiaojiao could only grasp people's hearts and use them on the blade. Once the time limit passed, her true colors were revealed!

"Your Highness?"

Uncle Zhou was turned away and couldn't help but be confused.

There are still countless questions in his mind waiting to be answered.

When did His Highness come back? Why did he suddenly appear in the almshouse?

Moreover, His Highness attaches great importance to his trip to Nanli. Now that he has returned early, what should he do with his plans there?

What happened today is really not like His Highness's behavior. What's going on?

"Your Highness, can I come in?"

Uncle Zhou was extremely anxious and confused.

Moreover, he just learned about a huge event tonight and is eager to report it to His Highness!

He originally thought that as soon as tonight was over, he would repair the book for His Highness as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that Your Highness would come back early!

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that a quarter of an hour had not passed yet. Seeing that Uncle Zhou was in a hurry, she said in a deep voice:

"Uncle Zhou, I have important matters in the room, so you can just stay outside."

Qiao Jiaojiao didn't know what the second prince's attitude towards Uncle Zhou was on weekdays, so she could only say something casually in the style of the second prince in the original work.

It would be wrong to talk too much. Anyway, she didn't speak unless she had to, and she must hold on until big brother arrives!

Uncle Zhou knew that the "Second Prince" was inside, so naturally he didn't dare to break in, but he was really impatient, so he could only say through the door:

"Your Highness, I have something important to report!"

Qiao Jiaojiao nodded directly, "Say."

Uncle Zhou licked his lips nervously, and after a while he gathered up the courage to lower his voice and say:

"Your Highness, it turns out that Sheng Xiuran has been hiding in this almshouse all this time! The old slave... The old slave did something stupid before, and she must have heard about it!"

Qiao Jiaojiao:! ! !

Sheng Xiuran?

I haven't heard this name for a long time!

ah! The sister Xiaolan mentioned by Sanyi couldn't be Sheng Xiuran! ?
