After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

Chapter 220 220, is it an old friend?
On the back of the letter, there is another line of words: Sishuiwan Jiuqu Bridge, not at all hours.

The imperial palace is not close to Sishui Bay, and it takes at least half an hour to rush there.There is a slum there.A group of people who are most prone to riots in the city gathered all day long.

Some of them are slaves and criminals who have committed crimes and hid in the ground; some are refugees who came from outside and lodged here;

There are also some people who are ordered to lurk here and deliberately inquire about news here.

Here, as long as you can afford it, you can buy some news that you can't ask for outside - there is a leader here, who is like a local snake, controlling the people here, making everyone work for him... and A black market has formed.

And the local snake dealt with people in the government, taking black and white as the emperor of the land.

After reading the letter, Xiao Qiyu touched Qing Huan's little face, and said to Xiao Qizhe: "Eighth Brother, Brother Sanhuang has something to do, you help Brother Sanhuang take care of Huanhuan..."

"Don't worry, Brother Sanhuang, Ah Zhe can take care of my little niece... you can go at ease!"

Xiao Qizhe patted his chest and agreed.

Xiao Qinghuan turned her head to look at this little Eighth Emperor Uncle, and squinted a smile, this palace is not fun at all, everyone is very well behaved, only this Eighth Emperor Uncle is good-looking, dare to go crazy with her for anything .

"Huanhuan, let's go, let's go play!"

Xiao Qizhe took Qing Huan away, and behind them, two servants chased after him, fearing that they would run out and run into other nobles...

"Are you going to Sishui City?"

Beside him, Shen Xingnan asked solemnly.

The boundary over there, now known as the city within a city, is a very dangerous existence.It is said that many refugees who hated Xiao Qiyu gathered there.

Many years ago, female general Rong Xi conspired against the border and caused rebellion, which gave birth to many orphans and widows.

Some people say that the female general is a traitor and a criminal.

Some people say that the female general treasoned to save the common people...

It's hard to tell what kind of character General Rong Xi is now.

Xiao Qiyu was stabbed several times when he was young, and many of those people came from Sishui City.

Some were because he was the female general's apprentice, hated the female general for destroying their home, and vented his hatred on him.

Some hated him because he was the female general's apprentice, but he didn't avenge the female general's shame.

Anyway, many people in that place hate Xiao Qiyu.

Now, Xie Xiaoman asked him to go with ulterior motives - Xiao Qiyu is very likely to be in danger.

"We must go. This is the only clue we have now..."

This is passive, but they have no choice.

"Need me to follow!"

"No, you can interrogate the other people in the Ningde Hall again to see if there are any other clues..."

"it is good."

Xiao Qiyu didn't stay any longer, took him out of the palace, and rushed to Sishui City.

Sishui City is in the northwest, separated by a Sishui River. On the south side of the river, there are still some high-ranking officials and nobles. On the north side of the river, there are civilian areas, refugee areas, and refugee areas.

There are still some ordinary people living by the river with a little family background, and the further north they go, the poorer they become.On the side of Sishui Bay, there stands a plaque that reads "Sishui City". Once inside, every commoner wears pudding clothes.Every face is thin.Every pair of eyes is glazed.

Sishui City has their own administrators, these local snakes, and they hold the imperial court's salary.

In Xiao Qiyu's view, the people here should all move to places where they are needed, plant land for them, and let them live with dignity, instead of nesting here, suffering from hunger and fullness.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that authority.

As soon as Xiao Qiyu arrived here, the snakes in the city bowed and bowed to greet him: "His Royal Highness Jingbei, why are you here..."

"Is there such a woman coming?"

Asuo highlighted Xie Xiaoman's portrait.

The local snake looked around, shook his head and said: "There is no foreign woman coming in and out today, I have never seen it before, but a monk named "Wu Wei" sent a letter, saying that there will be a noble person visiting today, please let me deliver the letter come over.

"Wuwei?" Xiao Qiyu was surprised, "Isn't he dead?"

The local snake was taken aback, "Then I don't know."

"How tall is that man? What does he look like?"

Xiao Qiyu asked again.

"Short in stature and handsome in appearance, the young monk will not exceed 30 years old!"

The local snake's answer made him understand that it was Xie Xiaoman pretending--Wu Wei is a monk in his forties, it is impossible for him to be in his twenties.

"Letter!"

The local snake hurriedly enshrined his faith.

Xiao Qiyu opened it to look, and there was a line written on it: "Wait, I'll find you when it gets dark!"

So, Xie Xiaoman was watching him nearby?
He turned his head and looked around, and all he saw were thin faces, and they stared at him with a gloomy look.

Some huddled in the sun and rubbed their palms; some leaned on crutches to look around curiously;

But they were all unfamiliar faces, without Xie Xiaoman.

"Your Highness, do you want to wait?"

Aso saw it too.

He felt that the other party was delaying time, because he didn't want His Royal Highness to save the princess, because he wanted to see the princess being dealt with by the emperor... That person, who had a deep hatred with the prince, wanted to force the prince to death, so that the prince could not have a good life.

"Wait."

He gritted his teeth and spit out a word.

When he came to sit under a thatched pavilion beside Sishui Bay, he watched the sun slant little by little, night drew up, and stars were scattered all over the black cloth.

If they waited like this, they would have no time to save the princess.

Asuo looked extremely anxious.

"Don't wait, let's go back to the palace..."

Xiao Qiyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, when he was about to leave with someone on his front foot, someone ran over on his back foot, it was a child, about five or six years old, and said in a childish voice:

"My lord, someone sent you a letter!"

Asuo took it and pulled it out to show His Highness.

There is only one line on it: "Heifengpu, Courtyard No. 3."

Heifengpu is an inn in Sishui City, which is specially opened for people who are hiding from debts. The waiters there are some vicious men.

Most people dare not look for the people hiding there, and even if they go there, they don’t know how to search their stores.Because their home shop is built according to the cave.The cave extends in all directions, and there are many traps. It may not be possible to get out if you go in, and you have to spend a lot of money to get in.

Xiao Qiyu didn't think much, so he took Asuo and the others with him.After going around the boss in the dark streets of the city, he came to Heifengpu.

Entering the door is just a small inn. When entering the backyard, guests will be led directly to the cave.

The gatekeeper was a big man with a black beard. He looked sideways at them, and he didn't show any consternation because of their gorgeous clothes. He just asked lazily, "Stay in a hotel or take refuge?"

"Looking for you. The guests from Courtyard No. 3 invited us to come over." Xiao Qiyu said in a deep voice.

The black-bearded man took a look and stood up, "The guests there said that they only saw Xiao... the rest of them can't follow..."

This made Asuo anxious, "Your Highness, this is too risky..."

"It's okay! Lead the way!"

Xiao Qiyu gestured.

The black-bearded man walked in front, and Xiao Qiyu followed.

Asuo watched them leave with a few guards, anxious but helpless.

*
Lanterns were lit up on the street, and a dim light was emitted from the lanterns. The crows hovered in the darkened sky, and their squawks made the barren urban area look even more eerie and terrifying.

The black-bearded man did not lead Xiao Qiyu to the cave, but led him to an underground poor building - it is wrong to say that it is underground.

It was just built on a flat land with low terrain. Along a small river, many small bamboo and wooden buildings were densely built. Many refugees who fled from other places lived in the buildings.

Refugees took root here and gave birth to another generation. The population here exploded, filling up all the flat land, and then, an underground city was formed.

Xiao Qiyu was taken to a house with a rather large area. The gate of the house said Courtyard No. 3, which was different from the cave.At first glance, it looks like a private house, and it seems to have nothing to do with Heifengpu.

"Go in, your friend is in room 3 on your left."

"It's work."

After thanking Xiao Qiyu, he walked in the direction he pointed, stepped on the creaking floor, heard the north wind whistling, and didn't know who was blowing the lock, the whole atmosphere seemed extraordinarily weird...

When I came to Room 3, the door was half open, I pushed it open, and saw Xie Xiaoman sitting there drinking tea, and seeing Xiao Qiyu coming over, he looked calm and gave him a shallow smile:
"His Highness is finally here."

"You didn't escape?"

Xiao Qiyu narrowed his eyes coldly.

Xie Xiaoman was dressed in male attire, drank tea very leisurely, and said with a low smile: "I escaped, how can I attract you here? How can I kill you for revenge?"

"What enmity do you have with me?"

Xiao Qiyu is curious, before, he didn't recognize her at all.

"My mother, Qingshuang, used to be the maidservant next to General Rong Xi, and I've known you since I was a child, but you don't remember anymore.

"Xiao Qiyu, General Rong loved and protected you so much back then, but you let your master bear the blame. For so many years, you have been in front of your third prince with peace of mind, and never thought of washing your master's name." Clean up the stigma... I bah..."

Xie Xiaoman yelled bitterly, his eyes full of disgust:
"I used to think that you would definitely find ways to accomplish this, but now you are greedy for enjoyment and ask the emperor to marry a wife. This means that you have forgotten the hatred of General Rong, don't you... You are really sorry General Rong taught you..."

It turned out that she was the young lady born to Aunt Qingshuang.

Xiao Qiyu remembered it.

In the past, he had quite a few playmates around him, all of whom were born after the marriage of Master's maids or bodyguards, all of them learned martial arts, and all of them obeyed him as the young master.

Later, the so-called rebellion broke out, and this large group of playmates died, scattered and died, and finally disappeared.

"So, you did it to my wife?"

Xiao Qiyu's eyelids twitched violently, and his heart felt chills. The methods of the people behind the scenes were really terrible - he actually found some old people to trouble him secretly.

If he took them down for the sake of Ajaan, it would be a second injury to the old man; if he didn't take them down, it would be Ajaan who would be hurt.

In this matter, no matter how he chooses, he will always be the one to be tortured.

It's really a good calculation...

"Who ordered you? Why did you murder Concubine De?"

"Because she deserves to die. Only when Concubine De dies, Concubine De's family may fall. I cannot avenge General Rong, but I will not let off those who harmed General Rong..."

That's right, Concubine De's family has a lot to do with Master's death, but he has no evidence to prove it, but how did Xie Xiaoman know?

"Xiang Xiaoman, who told you that Concubine De's family was related to my master's treason case?" He asked in a deep voice, feeling that someone was deliberately leading her to do so.

"I just know it."

Xie Xiaoman wiped away the teardrops from his eyes: "I also know that other people participated in this matter, but I just need to kill Concubine De. For others, there are other sisters who are doing it. None of those who captured General Rong can escape..."

That tone was so swearing.

"As for you, you have been greatly favored by General Rong, but in the end you didn't avenge General Rong, you deserve to die..."

While speaking, she pulled out the long sword in her hand, her pretty face was full of cold light: "Today, I will deal with your unworthy apprentice for General Rong..."

Accompanied by a flash of cold light, she stabbed fiercely.

Xiao Qiyu had no choice but to fight.

After the battle, he suddenly discovered that her martial arts were really well practiced.But what he couldn't understand was that in order to practice such a good kung fu, one must have a stable environment and be taught carefully.

So, who adopted Xie Xiaoman, taught her how to practice the sword, and sent her to the palace to work as a master?

"Sister Xie Mang, listen to my explanation!"

"There is nothing to explain, today, you must die..."

Xie Xiaoman's real name was Xie Mang, and he used to treat him very well. When he was a hostage, Xie Mang was the only person by his side.

Later, Xie Mang offended the people of Southern Qi, was taken away and beaten to death, and the body was thrown into the wilderness. He searched for the body but couldn't find it, but she suddenly reappeared after so many years.

It should be tears when relatives met each other, but now she vowed to get rid of him.

But he can't hurt her.

And when facing her painstaking killers again and again, he was like dancing on the tip of a knife. If he didn't pay attention, he would die unexpectedly.

In the 21st move of the battle, Xiao Qiyu couldn't bear it anymore, and fought back vigorously, using several dark darts, one of which hit Xie Mang, and the other few darts missed.

At this moment, an accident happened, the place they were in suddenly sank, and he and Xie Mang fell together...

He didn't know where he fell, and he smelled a stench in his nose, and Xie Mang's sneer sounded in his ears: "No matter what, even if you don't die today, Mu Yunjiang must die—in this life, you are Don't even think about having a good life..."

Sitting in an underground secret room where he couldn't see his fingers, Xiao Qiyu took a deep breath and yelled, "Who made someone hurt me so much?"

Xie Mang sneered in a low voice: "What qualifications do you have to know?"

Suddenly, the door of the secret room was opened, and several menacing men walked in. The leader's hair was already white. They held torches in their hands, and the firelight illuminated the underground secret room.

"Uncle Zhao, quickly, get rid of this ruthless traitor..."

Xie Mang retreated to the side of an old man with white beard.

But at the next moment, the situation took an astonishing turn. The old man drew his sword and put it on her neck: "Say, who ordered you to assassinate Concubine De with the help of Wangfei..."

Xie Mang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Qiyu's calm and composed look, with a look of shock on his face: "Many years ago, the leader of Sishui City has changed, Xiao Qiyu, do you control this place? "
