Chapter 52 Finding Someone
It was already the beginning of the year, and many small stalls on the street were busy closing their stalls, but Qiao Qingdai saw two little ghosts flashing into an alley, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She always had sharp eyes, and although the two little devils were dressed in tatters, she could still tell that the two children were Su Yunning and Jiang Fengjue, and there was no follower around them, nor did she feel that there was anyone protecting them in the dark.

Fearing that something might happen to the two children, Qiao Qingdai asked the coachman to stop the carriage and asked the coachman to go back to the house to report, while she took Cuixi to the alley to look for it.

Who would have thought that those two children had such nimble legs and feet, when they turned into the alley, they would have disappeared long ago.

The houses in the alley are criss-crossed, the gate of Zhang's house faces the wall of Li's house, and the side door of Zhao's house faces the yard of Wang's house.Qiao Qingdai and Cuixi were not familiar with the alleys in Beijing, and they searched for a long time in the alleys extending in all directions without seeing anyone.

"Miss, did you see it wrong?" Cuixi turned over a broken vat cover under the courtyard wall and said.

Qiao Qingdai glanced around and saw that a few people were fetching water by the old well, "No way." She had a hunch that the two children must be Su Yunning and Jiang Fengjue.

She was going to go to the well to ask people, but she happened to see a small piece of wood scattered in the mud beside the well.

She picked up the wooden block, which was covered in mud, and wiped it with a handkerchief to reveal the pattern inside.

She had seen and played with this wooden block before, and it was part of the Rubik's Cube in Jiang Fengjue's hand.

"Miss, this looks like the thing King Mu gave you to play with last time." Cuixi was shocked.

"It's the one above. Let's take a closer look to see if there are any around here." Cuixi took the order and hurried to find it.

Qiao Qingdai went to ask the water fetchers if they had seen the two children, but they all said they hadn't, so Qiao Qingdai didn't ask any more when she saw that they didn't look like they were lying.

The two searched around for a while, but found another one near West Street.

"Miss, what should I do now?" Cuixi also likes those two children very much, and if something happens, she will also be sad
"Well, look for the prince at the Gyeonggi Yamen, and I'll go to West Street to have a look. I'll leave a signal for you on the way, and you will follow the prince's instructions."

Cuixi nodded half-understanding, and just as she was about to tell her to be careful, Qiao Qingdai had already flown onto a willow tree, using her strength to fly towards West Street.

Cuixi didn't have time to think too much, and flew towards the Gyeonggi Yamen.

The princes and nobles in Beijing all gather on the East Street, and the West Street is where refugees gather and retail fireworks alleys.The road was dirty and muddy, the houses were dilapidated, and there were some middle-aged women with thick makeup standing on the side of the road.

Qiao Qingdai's face changed slightly when she saw it, if the two little ghosts came here, it would be really troublesome.

Seeing Qiao Qingdai's extraordinary temperament and expensive clothes, the people here looked at her one after another, while some avoided her from a distance. Some men who were not afraid of death wanted to strike up a conversation, but she stared back coldly.

At this time, the sky has already darkened, but there are few lights in each house.The streets were extremely noisy and dark.When she was at a loss, she found the small piece of wood again, still stuck in the mud.

She followed the road, went straight to the end, and saw the block again at the fork.Every time Qiao Qingdai saw a piece of wood, she picked it up, tore off some rags and pressed it down.

Following the guidance of the wooden block, she finally arrived at the west gate, and the city gate was closed in a quarter of an hour.

She went straight to a guard. The guard saw her demeanor and knew that there were many dignitaries in the imperial city, so he didn't dare to neglect her, so he hurriedly asked what was the matter.

"Did a carriage go by here just now?" Qiao Qingdai asked.

"There is a carriage going east." The man replied.

"Thank you!" Qiao Qingdai said, and hurried to the east.
