"What are you looking at?" Xing Qiu also turned around and looked at the surging crowd, frowning in confusion.

What's so good about this person?

"When that person glanced at me just now, he looked very surprised, but I don't know him. In the mansion... we should pretend that there is no such person appearing." Xiao Linglang expressed the doubts in her heart, and looked back again to make sure that she had never seen this person before.

He frowned and his palms couldn't help but sweat. Could it be... Tuoba Jin's people?

Ever since Brother Chang Hui wrote the letter back to Lin'an, she has been worried. If Tuoba Jin still had people in Lin'an and knew the letter, she would be finished.

However, after sending letters many times and seeing that everything remained calm, she gradually let down her guard.

Now, Xiao Linglang thought about the man's unusual physique and couldn't help swallowing, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Xing Qiu narrowed his eyes and focused.

Coincidentally, the two looked behind them and saw the man who was walking hurriedly and looking around.

After exchanging a glance, Xing Qiu reached for the soft sword at his waist and led Xiao Linglang toward the crowded street, "Get rid of him first."

"it is good."

Xiao Linglang held her breath and followed Xing Qiu.

During this time, Xing Qiu took Xiao Linglang to have a look at the stall, pinched the candy man, walked and stopped to test it, and found that the other party was also walking and stopping, acting furtively.

The only thing is, he was the only one following him.

After confirming it again and again, Xing Qiu winked at Xiao Linglang, signaling her to follow closely and walk into the deserted alley.

Hao Liang didn't know what was going on in his mind. After finding the two people, he stared at them closely from a distance.

If it was Miss Xiao, should he tell the general?

Seeing the other party turning into a deep alley, he looked around. This place was Qingfengfang in Kyoto. There were many vendors in the alley, and the people coming and going were a mixed bunch.

Miss Xiao was taken away by the merchants from the Western Regions. Hao Liang's face became serious.

He quickened his pace to catch up, observing and paying attention to the distance to avoid being discovered.

However, he had drunk a lot of wine and walked unsteadily. It wasn't so obvious when there were many people around, but now there were a few people in the alley, and people passing by looked at him strangely.

There were even several times when he was almost discovered, but fortunately he hid in time, and the fewer people there were as he walked in, and after turning a corner, the two people who were watching him suddenly disappeared.

Hao Liang was stunned for a moment and sobered up instantly.

He stood still, looking around with his dark eyes open.

This alley leads to all directions, and every alley is quiet with only the sound of insects.

He was undecided.

Give up, he has followed her here and he is a little unwilling to give up. Besides, if something happens to this girl in Kyoto, he will be derelict in his duty if he fails to investigate properly.

Hao Liang slapped himself hard, and the pain made him make a choice immediately. He turned into the alley in front of him on the left.

After he entered the alley, Xiao Linglang and Xing Qiu came out from the alley behind him.

The two did not look at each other, but spoke at the same time in tacit understanding.

"Wait for me here." Xing Qiu walked up and instructed Xiao Linglang without turning back.

"You have to be careful. You are the most important." Xiao Linglang said.

She picked up a few small stones and put them in her pocket, then picked out a stone that suited her needs. If Xing Qiu couldn't beat that man, she would hit him with the stone.

After his brain sounded the alarm, Xiao Linglang had a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the alley entrance, his hands ready to throw stones at any time.

One leaf fell, two leaves fell, and the third leaf fell on her stone. Xiao Linglang puffed up her cheeks to blew it away, and then kicked the two leaves in front of her aside with her feet.

Almost a quarter of an hour after Xing Qiu left, Xiao Linglang leaned against the wall, looking at the quiet alley, her eyes filled with growing worry.

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard from the box, and Xiao Linglang's heart instantly rose to her throat.

The steps were steady and powerful, not like those of a girl.

She held her breath and raised the stone in her hand little by little until she held it above her head.

As the footsteps got closer and clearer, Xiao Linglang's cunning eyes turned, looking for a good opportunity to ensure that she would hit the target in one blow and rescue Xing Qiu.

When the footsteps were approaching, Xiao Linglang dodged and blocked the middle of the alley, throwing stones and shouting, "Put Xing Qiu down, or I'll hit you."

Xing Qiu barely dodged the basin-sized stone and said, "Repaying kindness with hatred, this is how you all play in Lin'an!"

She looked at the stone on the ground that made the loud noise, and her temples twitched violently.

I don’t know whether I should celebrate that Xiao Linglang is weak or that she is lucky.

If she was hit by this stone, she would probably have to go to hell tonight.

Xiao Linglang pinched the tip of her nose, smiled awkwardly, and put her hands behind her back, explaining weakly, "I thought it was that person, it wasn't intentional."

"If you want, I will definitely drag you to hell with me before I die." Xing Qiu caught a glimpse of the bulge in her purse and once again celebrated in his heart that he had survived a great disaster and would be blessed in the future.

Xiao Linglang felt more and more guilty after being told that. She trotted to Xing Qiu's side and helped her to support the person on her back. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I just heard the heavy footsteps that weren't yours, and the sound of the sword sliding on the floor, so I thought of something wrong."

After she said that, she bowed to Xing Qiu.

Xing Qiu tilted his lips, smiled, and said in a joking tone, "Why don't you bow twice more."

Xiao Linglang obeyed and did as she was told, leaving Xing Qiu speechless for a long time.

In the end, Xiao Linglang pushed her and asked doubtfully, "Are you going or not?"

"Of course." Xing Qiu blinked.

He glanced at Xiao Linglang again without giving up. Did she really not understand what I was saying?

Xiao Linglang apologized sincerely: "..."

The two men avoided people all the way and carried Hao Liang to an abandoned house. Xing Qiu tore Hao Liang's clothes into strips and tied the still unconscious Hao Liang to a pillar.

Xiao Linglang was unable to help, so she just stood by and silently cheered for Xing Qiu and observed the unconscious person. This person did not look like a Mobei person at all, and looked just like a Southern Liang person.

She was shocked in her heart that Tuoba Jin actually bribed the people of Southern Liang. She would have to be more cautious from now on.

No matter what, she didn't want to leave Nanliang again.

The fist hanging at her side was clenched tighter and tighter. Xiao Linglang's dark eyes were fixed on the person on the ground, and her mood was becoming more and more gloomy.

Xing Qiu found a basin of water from somewhere and poured it all over the man.

Xiao Linglang saw the man move his fingers, slowly raise his head and open his eyes.

Hao Liang's vision gradually became clear. After seeing his situation clearly, he struggled hard with both hands, but the restraints did not loosen at all and became tighter and tighter.

He glanced at the man wearing a veil, looked at the hanging Xing Qiu and spat, "I don't know how I have offended you. You have to tie me up."
