Chapter 22
That night, the two stared at the stars for a long time on the roof, and talked about many things that happened when they were young.

Qi Ningning never took more than an hour between being very interested and eyelid fighting.

She leaned her head on Luo Jinrong's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Luo Jinrong quietly walked around her arm, hugged her gently, and took out the jade pendant from his bosom with the other hand, and played with it in the palm of his hand.

In the pattern of the jade pendant, the fish is very round and cute, with a copper coin wrapped around its tail, just like it is in its own arms.

Such a lovely jade pendant was chosen by Qi Ningning and given to him.

In the past, if he went out with such a jade pendant, he would definitely be laughed at by those aristocratic sons and daughters.

But now, he feels like a treasure.

After picking up Qi Ningning and sending him back to his room, he went outside to enjoy the wind for a while before going back to sleep.

Darkness enveloped the land, and the brightly lit places gradually joined in, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Qi Ningning slept until midnight, when she felt a gust of cold wind blowing in, she was so excited that she retracted her stretched arms and legs as quickly as possible.

It seemed that someone was calling her, but in the middle of the night, who would call her.

Not long after, she fell asleep again and went to meet Zhou Gong.

On the second day, when the sky was bright, Luo Jinrong walked outside Qi Ningning's room and knocked on the door.

He was going out today, Ling'an reported to him yesterday that the clue about the ring had already been formed, and he wanted to ask Qi Ningning if he wanted to go out with him to have a look.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement inside. Luo Jinrong hesitated for a moment, pushed the door open and entered.

On the bed in the house, there was a large bulging quilt.

Maybe the little girl is still in bed, but her sleeping appearance is a bit... a bit eclectic.

Worried that she could not cover the quilt well, Luo Jinrong stretched out his hand to pull it, but it was quite easy.

When he was evened out, the quilt could be seen at a glance, and there was no one on the couch.

The little girl has to get out of bed every day, so it's okay to get up early today?

Luo Jinrong went downstairs to ask the waiter and the manager of the inn.

Since they are all long-term residents, the store owner is already familiar with them, but after asking, they all said that they did not see anyone from Qi Ningning.

Anomalies often invite suspicion.

Luo Jinrong called Ling'an out, but even Ling'an didn't see the little girl.

He couldn't calm down anymore, he called out all the guards in the dark and sent them to look for it.

After one time when no one was missing, Luo Jinrong became extra vigilant, and would set up secret whistle around the inn at night, and would notify him immediately if there was any situation.

But none of the guards had anything to report this morning.

Luo Jinrong's mood became dignified, and whenever he was in a bad mood, his manic depression would keep rising.

Facing the low air pressure in the master's room, Ling'an has become accustomed to it, and has been able to minimize his presence.

Luo Jinrong waved his sleeve and swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

Ling'an glanced at it, and found that the teacup that was swept to the ground was still stubbornly not broken, it just rolled around and stopped when it hit the wardrobe.

Just like that, after waiting for a day, all the guards who went out to find someone came back, and there was no news of Qi Ningning yet.

Luo Jinrong sat on her bed, and after sniffing carefully, a faint scent of crabapple flowers entered her nose.

It was the girl's breath, and he sniffed it greedily, but he didn't dare to breathe too much.

He was afraid that the last trace of breath would also dissipate, just like the owner of Begonia Fragrance, disappearing.

The next day, Luo Jinrong got a letter from Ling'an.

The scrawled handwriting on the letter probably explained the situation.

"If you still want to see your beautiful lady, you are only allowed to come here at the Town God's Temple in the suburbs at [-]:[-] today. If there are other people, your beautiful lady will die."

The words are full of threats, he hates this kind of threat the most, especially Aning who threatens him...

Seeing his master's face darken, Ling'an knew something bad had happened.

"Master, can this subordinate read this letter?"

As soon as Luo Jinrong threw it away, he put his head on it and ignored it.

Ling'an caught the letter paper that floated in, and after reading the contents, he said loudly:
"No! Master, you must not go alone. The other party must threaten you with Miss Qi. If you go alone, they will set up an ambush, and the master will be in danger!"

Luo Jinrong squinted at him, "I'm the only one going, there are too many people going, I'm afraid they will really attack Ah Ning."

Ling'an opened his mouth and said "but".

"However, the subordinates don't want to see the master get hurt..."

"In your eyes, is your master so weak? Maybe I went there and beat them down instead."

Rescuing Aning should not be underestimated, let alone careless.

In short, he didn't want Aning to have the slightest possibility of endangering his life.
-
Luo Jinrong set off at Xushi at the appointed hour.

Before setting off, Ling'an nagged him a few times, telling him to be careful.

There were a few sentences that he even felt that Lingan was insulting him and looking down on him.

——run away if you can’t beat it.

——Pretend more.

……

How does he do it? Do you need a guard to teach him? It's really funny.

Luo Jinrong shook his head helplessly, got on his horse and galloped away.

On the outskirts, in the City God's Temple, Qi Ningning was tied to a pillar. He had suffered several wounds on his body, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

She cried out in pain from the bottom of her heart, and she still didn't forget to sue Beta [what kind of garbage system you have, someone sneaked into my house in the middle of the night, and you didn't wake me up! ! ! 】

Beta is aggrieved [Why didn’t the system call you, it’s because you were too sleepy, and you have to count the money even if you are sold! 】

【Then you won't take special measures. If you can't wake me up, you can save me. You just watch me fall into the hands of these people! 】

[I'm sorry for the host, the authority of the plane space to this system is only a little bit, this system can only use conventional means to remind the host, other this system can't do it! ] Beta spread her hands and said innocently.

[Then you are a rubbish system, can you improve it a little bit, if you can block this pain, ouch, hello...] The more Qi Ningning got angry, the more painful the wound became.

One person was arguing with the other, and the person who came from outside the Town God's Temple under the moonlight made them quiet for an instant.

"Yo, you came a little earlier than the agreed time, so you can't wait to see your beautiful lady?"

The dilapidated Town God's Temple is covered with cobwebs everywhere, and the ground is also overgrown with weeds.

The man came out from behind the statue of the City God, came to Qi Ningning's side, and wanted to touch her cheek with his hands.

Luo Jinrong's eyes turned cold, and after swinging his arms out, the man covered his stomach and howled, and the loud Qi Ningning frowned.

"You, what did you do to me?!" the man asked in pain.

Luo Jinrong sneered and replied: "It's a punishment for you to do something. Don't worry, the silver needle contains a strong poison. It will only be released three days after you go back. Your whole body will fester and die until your bones are exposed."

The serious smile made the man tremble, he clutched his stomach, his mind was in a mess, he had long forgotten that he was the one holding back Luo Jinrong and gaining the upper hand.
