That minor operation was not a big deal at first, and after two days of recuperation, he was almost healed, but Wu Chongwen was still terribly worried and had to follow along.

Afraid of the bumps in the carriage, the princess hugged her all the way after getting into the carriage, feeling extremely distressed.

Xiao Ningxue couldn't hold back, so it was up to him.

From Taohua Village to Ji'an New City, the road is wide and wide. Nearby are fields full of rapeseed flowers, and in the distance are houses under construction or completed, which are larger than Xinkang City and Xiping City.

It only took about ten minutes to ride a horse from Taohua Village to Ji'an New City, but Xue Ruyun's carriage drove slowly, and it took nearly half an hour to enter the city.

There are paved courtyards on both sides of the city, and pedestrians are crowded shoulder to shoulder. The faces of foreigners and Central Plains people are half mixed, and unfamiliar Central Plains dialects and foreign dialects are floating around.

It seems that it won't be long before Ji'an City will become the No. [-] Central Plains city in the west, as Jiang Nianyao said.

On Xiao Ningxue's construction site in the center of the city, hundreds of people were busily busy. Twenty days later, the frame of the house was pulled up, and shouts came and went.

Seeing Xue Ruyun approaching with a carriage, Shopkeeper Qian stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Yun girl Xue girl Brother Wen, you are here, come in and sit down."

Shopkeeper Qian set up a temporary residence beside the road, and lived here with Shopkeeper Li and other main persons in charge.

At this moment, Xiao Ningxue and the others were welcomed in with a smile on their faces, asked them to sit down and poured tea for them, and then introduced the construction progress of the shop while drinking tea.

"There are still two months to go, and it will not be a problem to repair the shop before the Chinese New Year." Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile.

Compared with Qiganling at that time, he is much stronger and stronger. He is a tall man and has also been a bodyguard master. of.

"Is there enough wood?" Xiao Ningxue looked at the busy construction site and asked.

"Enough is enough, maybe there is still left." Shopkeeper Li nodded with a smile.

Although shopkeeper Li used to be the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, he was not ambiguous about business matters. Now that there is no pharmacy, he is temporarily keeping accounts on the construction site.

Anyway, with these reliable and experienced shopkeepers like them, Xiao Ningxue didn't have to worry about it at all, she just told them to make sure that they had better meals, at least one meal of meat a day, otherwise they would not be able to bear such heavy hard work.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Ningxue asked Xue Ruyun to go to the fresh fruit shop, and asked her to order the clerk there to send a few carts of cantaloupe, and each worker who worked on the construction site would share one among them.

The big guy is also full of gratitude to the two little bosses. They eat well, are paid enough, and are respected. Such a good job was unthinkable before~ so they work harder.

Walking around the construction site and the fresh fruit shop, I saw that the door of the newly opened brothel in front was full of people, and there were noises coming from inside.

Xiao Ningxue was bored, so she stopped to watch the excitement.

After watching for a while, I figured it out. It turned out that after Xiao Xiaoyu died, Widow Ma, who was originally invited by her to be a procuress, took away the contracts of prostitution of the girls in the building, and took away all the girls in the 'Xueyue Building'. On the side, he opened his own brothel.

Old Madam Xiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and was blocking the entrance of the brothel with the whole family, making a fuss.

"It seems that the good times of Mrs. Xiao's family are coming to an end." Xue Ruyun said amusedly, biting a canola flower in her mouth.

Brothels are in the business of flesh and blood, so it’s no wonder they can keep going without girls, after all, now that everyone has food and drink, who else would throw their daughters into a pit of fire?
Mrs. Xiao must have known that the money tree had fallen, she slapped her thighs and rolled on the ground, threatening to report to the authorities.

But what's the use of reporting to the officials? Whoever owns the deed of prostitution will belong to the girls.It's cheaper for the widow horse, she is not a good thing.

At the end of the street over there, several hidden guards under Wu Chongwen escorted Li Zhuang and other robbers over, so everyone surrounded them there again.

Those who recognized Li Zhuang and the others spat at them and threw rotten vegetable leaves. These dogs are village tyrants in the village, no wonder they became robbers.

Xiao Ningxue looked at Li Zhuang and others who were covered in welts, and looked at Wu Chongwen with a smile.

"I was intercepted and killed by them on the way to Gaoyang City. Maybe someone behind the scenes ordered them to tell the truth."

"Okay." Wu Chongwen nodded, narrowing his brows and eyes with heroic spirit, "Anyone who asks anyone who wants to harm you, I will cut him to pieces."

Xiao Ningxue raised her eyebrows slightly, and she roughly guessed who it was, Jiang Jinyue and Jiang Jinzhu~
If it was really them, there was no need to do it themselves, they were destined to die a miserable death.

As soon as Li Zhuang and other robbers passed by, the hidden guard that Wu Chongwen had left behind on Xiangsi Cliff rushed over on horseback. When he saw Wu Chongwen and the others, he got off his horse and untied the burden on his shoulders.

"Master, I found this when I searched for Zhang Xiucai's body under the cliff."

After hearing this, Xiao Ningxue remembered that when Zhang Xiucai hijacked Dabao, Xiaobao and Sai Dongshi that day, there was indeed a bag on his left shoulder, and he didn't know what was inside.

Now being found by the dark guard, he came to a quiet place and opened it to look.

There was a brocade box in the bundle. When the brocade box was opened, it turned out to be a gold box with a cloud pattern of a Buddha, which was exactly the same as the two gold boxes that Xiao Ningxue got earlier. Where did the robbery come from?

These golden boxes are extremely mysterious. In the letter hidden in the hinterland of the desert, King Liang specifically mentioned that finding all eight golden boxes will reveal a shocking secret. Mrs. Li, lurking in the Li family for several years is to get this golden box.

It can be seen how precious this golden box is, never thought that this box would get another one by accident.

After all, it was something that a group of mysterious people were searching for, Xiao Ningxue didn't dare to look at it, she pretended to stuff it into the armhole, and directly put it into the portable space with her thoughts.

It doesn't matter if it's a secret or not, and it doesn't matter whether it's stored or not, let's put it in the portable space, no one can take it away anyway.Xiao Ningxue didn't take this matter to heart, but she didn't forget to warn Xue Ruyun.

"Sister Ruyun, don't tell anyone about the casket, otherwise you will definitely get killed~"

"Damn~ Xiaoxue, have you turned into a gossip woman in the streets? How can my mouth be so broken."

"It's better not to be a gossip, or the tongue will cut you off."

After saying a few words, they returned to the village.

On the way, Xiao Ningxue still nestled in Wu Chongwen's arms like a little girl who hadn't grown up, being protected by him 360 degrees without any dead ends, and would kiss her on the cheek from time to time, as if she didn't love enough.

After walking not far, they met Le Peiyan's carriage.

Le Peiyan has been operating in the west for so long, and now he has made friends with many western families, and they are full of happiness.

After they passed, Xiao Ningxue asked Wu Chongwen.

"How's the investigation going on about him?"

His business is also a matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. If one wants to find evidence for this matter, it may not be so easy.

Sure enough, Wu Chongwen shook his head, "There is no progress right now, and I am staring at him."

Xiao Ningxue bit her lower lip, thinking that she might not be able to get any evidence just by staring at her like this, so she had to think of a way.After thinking for a while, she smiled and took out something and put it in Wu Chongwen's hand.

"Give this thing to your subordinates. With it, you can definitely catch Le Peiyan."
