Chapter 91
At night, a carriage came out of the palace and went straight to the general's courtyard in the west of the city.

On the way, on the carriage.

Liao Xuanyi looked at Su Jiu's cheeks, and the bruises on his face couldn't be covered by heavy attire.

"Miss Su was wronged in the Zhao residence."

Friends who grew up together, he still knows Zhao Kuo very well.In the wind and snow, looking for flowers and willows, in the mansion, he is a master who is afraid of his wife, especially because there are so many concubines in his mansion, he is afraid that if he squeezes into another mansion, the pot will be boiled, and Su Jiu will definitely not get well.

"It's nothing, as long as I can find my brother, this little trouble is nothing."

"Why don't I send the girl to see the doctor first!"

"No."

"Girl please drink tea."

"I'm not thirsty."

"The girl will give you clothes, it's very cold at night."

"I'm not cold yet."

"girl……"

"I do not……"

The two were embarrassed one after another. When they first met, Liao Xuanyi ignored her so much, but now it's the opposite.

"Hehe..." The two chuckled at the same time.

The carriage moved quickly, but it walked steadily on the plain streets, and it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of the Qingqing attached courtyard in the western part of the city.

A family member had already stepped forward, "My lord, General Duan is not in the mansion, he went out early, and he hasn't come back yet."

"It's okay, let's go in and wait."

"Yes, my lord."

"So you are the prince, I thought you were the general." Su Jiu whispered.

"Hehe, Miss Su seems to have a close relationship with Nie Wuhuan, so you should know that the prince can also lead the entire army to fight against the enemy."

"Ah!" Su Jiu was stunned.

After entering the courtyard, Liao Xuanyi carefully talked about the layout and construction of the courtyard, not forgetting to add some jokes, which made Su Jiu's tense and tired heart relax a lot.

"My lord, Su Jiu has always had a question."

"Miss Su, please."

"Why was he in Yuezhao territory that day? It seemed like he was fleeing."

Liao Xuanyi raised his eyebrows, smiled veiledly at Su Jiu's question, and said after thinking for a while, "To be honest, I have been a proton in Yuezhao since I was a child. After more than ten years, I finally returned to the Northern Dynasty, but because of The court is in turmoil, I have no backing support, the throne falls into the hands of the emperor's uncle, hehe... This should be a shameful thing, but for the sake of the Northern Dynasty, I am willing to be a prince and lead the army to kill the enemy. As long as the Northern Dynasty is stable, the throne is I don't care about anyone. Hehe..."

It was supposed to be a thrilling event, but Liao Xuanyi seemed to be saying that today's tea was a bit bitter and plain. He did not shy away from telling this matter to Su Jiu, an outsider. Su Jiu suddenly felt his whole body sink, and he didn't know how to answer .

Silently, the guards over there ran over, "My lord, General Duan has returned, and is waiting for my lord and Miss Su in the gazebo."

"En!" Liao Xuanyi nodded slightly, turned sideways to avoid a path, and pointed to Su Jiu, "That's right there."

Su Jiu looked at the tall forest in the distance, where the branches and leaves were luxuriant, but the place that should have been overgrown with withered grass was surprisingly green and fresh, which surprised her, but she didn't see Duan Qingqing's half shadow.

Following Liao Xuanyi, he first walked through the lush Berlin, and then in front of him was a pond as calm as a mirror. Dim yellow lanterns floated beside the pond. Occasionally, when the wind blew, his body moved with the ups and downs of the water surface. The next piece of Ambilight.

Bypassing the pond, walk onto a wooden bridge that bends like a moon, and the sound of "peddling" is as crisp as a bell when you step on it, and the water under the bridge flows quietly.

Passing the wooden bridge, there is a round and square stone step, one level higher than the other, green weeds are planted on the edge of the stone step, which looks like wild lotus on the river bank.

"Duan Qingqing!" Su Jiu exclaimed.

In the darkness, a woman holding wine was leaning against the center of the pavilion, staring blankly at the water in the pool.

"Su Jiu." Duan Qingqing put down the wine cup, stood up and looked at her.

Su Jiu didn't care about the etiquette of Liao Xuanyi beside him, and trotted over with the hem of his skirt, stepped forward and hugged Duan Qingqing, "Fortunately, I knew you in the Northern Dynasty, otherwise I really don't know where to find my brother."

Duan Qingqing had already experienced Su Jiu's hug once, and this time it was not surprising. She said with a smile in her arms, "I've heard about it, so I need to tell you about it in detail."

"En!" Su Jiu released her, pulled Duan Qingqing to sit down, and completely forgot about Liao Xuanyi who was walking beside him.

At that moment, Su Jiu told Duan Qingqing what happened, without even missing the details.

Duan Qingqing and Liao Xuanyi over there looked at each other, and fell silent. This matter is either big or small.But no matter how big or small it is, it's really hard to find it.

Duan Qingqing thought for a while, and discussed with Liao Xuanyi, first send people around to copy Xiao Shan's portrait, and then distribute it to various places. As long as there is news, they will be brought back immediately, even if they look alike.They are continuing to search based on Su Jiu's inference and detailed description, and there should be some clues.

Although the method is stupid, it is the only way at present.

Su Jiu nodded silently, feeling that there was very little hope, and in this era of underdeveloped technology, this was the only way to go.

As the sky gradually darkened, Liao Xuanyi planned to leave, and had a lot of conversations with Su Jiu, but Su Jiu didn't listen.

Liao Xuanyi sighed lightly, told Duan Qingqing to take care of her, and left.

On the top of the willows on the moon, the northern night breeze in early spring is very refreshing and pleasant.

Su Jiu leaned against the fence alone, looking at the bright and clean hanging alone in the sky, his heart also hung.

Xiao Shan, where are you?Su Jiu silently shouted to the sky.

Two days later, I finally received the news, but it was in a mountain village west of the imperial city.It used to be a gathering place for coolies in the Southern Dynasties, and many rich families went there to buy.

Later, when the new emperor came to the throne, he wanted to stop this matter, and the place was slowly deserted. However, the recent wars caused the people between the Northern Dynasty and Yuezhao to be displaced. In order to survive, there were many people who sold their relatives to other places for a few taels of silver. There, within half a year, it became lively again, with a larger scale and more people.

Duan Qingqing was riding a horse and carrying a carriage. Inside the carriage were Su Jiu and Liao Xuanyi. When the three rushed over, many of them fled after hearing the news.But fortunately, someone who looked similar to Xiao Shan had already been left behind, waiting for Su Jiu to come and identify him.

When Su Jiu jumped off the carriage, he saw two rows in front of him. There were as many as 20 people. Everyone was young, with thin clothes and many scars.

She looked at them one by one, from the beginning to the end, from the end to the beginning, and finally turned her head to Duan Qingqing and Liao Xuanyi and shook her head, "Neither of them."

The two also sighed helplessly.

Duan Qingqing pulled Su Jiu over and comforted, "It's okay, we'll look for it again."

Su Jiu nodded slightly, the hope that had been ignited once again failed, and she was about to walk back with her skirt in hand.

Unexpectedly, Liao Xuanyi turned around suddenly, pulled Su Jiu vigorously, and said in a low voice, "Let's go quickly."

Just as Liao Xuanyi pulled Su Jiu into the carriage.

In the dark, a man swayed, bypassed the carriage and Duan Qingqing over there, ran up to the two of them with his arm, and showed the weapon in his hand. The cold light flashed, almost cutting off Su Jiu's neck.

Liao Xuanyi yelled, and shielding Su Jiu behind his back, he beat each other with his palms.

"My lord, be careful!" Duan Qingqing ran forward, and the broad knife swished a few times with the dripping cold wind.However, there were more and more people in black, and they had already blocked Duan Qingqing and the guards who came behind him, so they couldn't move forward.

Liao Xuanyi held Su Jiu tightly to block the sharp blade of the man in black, but the target of that man was not Su Jiu, but Liao Xuanyi himself. He didn't want to dodge a few times and put himself in danger. Suddenly stabbed.

Su Jiu let out a loud cry, anxious in her heart. She had seen this kind of scene more than once, and she knew that it was all assassins attacking and taking lives. Although she didn't know martial arts, she couldn't helplessly watch Liao Xuanyi get injured. He ran forward and raised his arms, "Ah!"

Liao Xuanyi exclaimed, Duan Qingqing quickly stepped forward, and pushed the other people. When he got close, the black-clothed man disappeared in a flash.

"My lord, get in the car quickly, I'm afraid it's the same group from before."

Duan Qingqing clearly remembered the origin of this group of people. They had just rushed to the Northern Dynasty at that time, and they were beaten head-on by this group of men in black, and almost died. The emperor would not feel at ease watching Liao Xuanyi become a prince.

Liao Xuanyi nodded in understanding, picked up Su Jiu, and gave a low drink, "Let's go!"

Late at night, heavy dew.

The hem of Su Jiu's long skirt was stained with dew, and it swept across the ground, and the dirt gathered into balls, sticking to the hem of the skirt.

Behind them were Liao Xuanyi and Duan Qingqing who were walking quickly.

The assassination of the man in black is very obvious, there is no need to investigate further, but there is no way to start, the top priority is to save his life, it seems that if he wants to leave the imperial city in the future, he must be more careful.

Behind Duan Qingqing and Liao Xuanyi were discussing matters in a low voice, while Su Jiu hurriedly sneaked all the way, looking at Duan Qingqing's huge mansion, her heart was as hollow as the black hole in the sky.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Su Jiu turned around suddenly, "For safety, I have to go out and look for it by myself."

Liao Xuanyi raised his head and exclaimed annoyedly, "Hey, why did I forget about it? Go and call the doctor, Miss Su just cut a sword for me, hurry up!"

Su Jiu avoided Liao Xuanyi's outstretched hand indifferently, and said to him, "My lord, if possible, I implore myself to go out and look for Xiaoshan."

"Su Jiu, don't be arrogant, this matter has nothing to do with you, but I'm afraid I can't let you go now, probably that group of people also regard you as one of us, that's why... No matter what, Su Jiu, I will You will not be allowed to leave alone."

"I, but I don't want to delay here anymore. My heart seems to be hollowed out by the day-to-day calculations. I'm afraid of me. I'm afraid I'll never see Xiaoshan again."

Today I saw the group of coolies who were kidnapped. They were about the same age as Xiaoshan, and some were even younger than Xiaoshan. Their immature faces were full of scars and pain, and their eyes were filled with panic and anxiety. That sip of food will cost her entire life from now on, and all of this is because she failed to stop Xiao Shan that day and tell him to go out alone with the man surnamed Gong who lost his sleeve.

"Miss Su, I will help you no matter what, don't act recklessly." Liao Xuanyi said.

Su Jiu didn't touch any water today, and he couldn't walk any longer. He found the platform next to him and sat on the floor, tapping his numb legs, "I'm really worried." Su Jiu said to himself.
