I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Master, someone just saw Miss Lin Xi's sister come in in a hurry, and then left in a hurry with a few officials."

Hearing this, Xiao Ji immediately stood up and asked, "Do you know why she came here?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, I'll go and find out."

The official who followed Qiao Linshan to find Qiao Linqin returned to Lanqing Restaurant to continue his work after searching many places without success. Therefore, Xiao Ji's guards did not have to spend much effort to find out the reason.

"Qiao Linqin is missing?" Xiao Ji frowned, "Why is she missing?"

The guard shook his head: "I don't know, the officials didn't say. Master, are you so nervous about the Qiao family?"

Worried about them? Xiao Ji was also stunned. Maybe he felt guilty for not saving Qiao Linxi at that time.

"They are all children, and there is no one else in Lanqing City who can help them. Call Tong Yu along, and let's go see what's going on."

"But Master..." The guard hesitated and glanced in the direction of Princess Han Ling: "The Prince and Princess of Xiyue are here. Is it inappropriate for us to leave early?"

The guard was not questioning Xiao Ji's decision, he just simply felt that his master should not care so much about such an irrelevant person.

"It doesn't matter. I've had enough of this boring banquet. You wait for me outside and I'll be there soon."

After saying that, Xiao Ji stood up and staggered towards Princess Han Ling.

Princess Han Ling was wearing a veil from head to toe, and even Xiao Ji and the others couldn't see what she looked like.

"Princess..." Xiao Ji held up a glass of wine. "The princess and the third prince came to my Great Yue Kingdom. As a prince of Great Yue, I should have accompanied them. Unfortunately, my alcohol tolerance is too poor. I am already drunk and want to leave first. This glass of wine is my apology to the princess and the third prince."

Princess Han Ling wanted to say something, but Xiao Ji had already drunk the wine, so she had to swallow back what she wanted to say.

"Sixth Prince, there is no need to be so polite. The princess and I have been here for some time and have recovered. The Sixth Prince just arrived in Lanqing City yesterday and is exhausted from the journey. He should take a good rest."

Xiao Ji finished his drink, burped, and patted Han Yan on the shoulder: "The Third Prince is indeed very reasonable. I'll go first. I really can't hold on any longer. Don't make a fool of yourself later."

Xiao Ji's excuse was perfect. Han Yan and Princess Han Ling did not doubt it. They just watched him staggering outside. When he stepped over the threshold, he almost fell. It was the guards waiting for him beside who helped him up that saved him from falling.

Tong Yu was already waiting in the carriage. When he saw Xiao Ji coming up, he handed him a cup of sobering tea.

After Xiao Ji drank the tea, he asked, "Tong Yu, do you know why Qiao Linqin disappeared?"

How would Tong Yu know? He had just arrived in Lanqing City yesterday and had no idea what had happened during this period.

Seeing Tong Yu shaking his head, Xiao Ji rubbed his temples and told the guards to go to Qiao Ji Snack Bar.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the sky cleared after the rain. The people of Lanqing City were so happy. Even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as it rained, they could always plant something in the fields. The people hoped for good weather and good harvests.

Therefore, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly lively. The shops on both sides of the street were hung with red lanterns, and the streets were full of people holding lanterns and playing. Xiao Ji and his carriage were moving on the street, and the speed was very slow due to the influence of pedestrians.

When we arrived at East Second Street, we saw that it was very lively. The shops were still open, and the shop owners had set up tables in front of their shops, put moon cakes and melon seeds on them, and chatted while admiring the moon.

Only Qiaoji Snack Shop was completely dark, so dark that it didn’t look like a shop in the living world.

When they arrived at the snack bar, Tong Yu got out of the car and looked at the closed door: "No one here?"

Xiao Ji then got off the car and looked at the dark shop in confusion. Why didn’t these kids open the door?

"Hey, aren't you that friend of Boss Qiao?"

Xiao Ji stayed in Lanqing City for a long time and often came to this snack bar, so some people recognized him.

"I am indeed a friend of Miss Qiao. I wonder if the boss knows why the Qiao family's children don't open the business? Have they left Lanqing City?"

"Oh, no way." The boss who spoke grabbed a handful of melon seeds and walked towards Xiao Ji while eating them: "Boss Qiao said that today is Mid-Autumn Festival and she has to celebrate the festival with her brothers and sisters, so she closed the shop. She also turned down the invitation from the county magistrate."

"I see. Then, boss, do you know if anything special has happened in this snack bar recently?"

The man looked at Xiao Ji and said, "If there is anything special, it is that Qiaoji Snack Shop has hit a lucky jackpot. The princess from Western Yue who came to marry the princess came here to eat. Although Boss Qiao was given a hard time that night, she is a princess. It is a blessing for ordinary people like us to serve the princess."

Princess Han Ling has been to Qiao Ji Snack Shop? Xiao Ji was also a little surprised. How did Princess Han Ling know this place?

Shouldn't foreign envoys like them stay at the post station when they come here?

Xiao Ji suppressed his doubts and thanked the boss: "Since Boss Qiao is not here, we will come another day."

After saying this, Xiao Ji turned around and got on the carriage. The carriage turned around and drove around Qiao Ji Snack Shop towards the main street.

In the carriage, Xiao Ji and Tong Yu looked at each other and both jumped out. The carriage continued to move forward, and Xiao Ji and Tong Yu immediately disappeared into the night after jumping out of the carriage.

In the dark Qiaoji Snack Shop, a man in black clothes and black veil was holding a dagger and watching the light coming out of the crack in the door. He slowly put down the dagger until he heard the sound of wheels rolling over the stone slabs getting farther and farther away. He turned around and continued to look for something in the three boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

The two men who were in charge of guarding the gold and silver were now fast asleep on the table next to them.

"Strange, how could it be gone? Did I remember it wrong?"

The sound of the man flipping around became louder and louder, showing that he was becoming more and more anxious.

On the roof, Xiao Ji and Tong Yu gently landed on the tiles and looked at the figure below.

Just now, when Xiao Ji was talking to the boss who was talking to him, he heard some noise in the house.

Although the street was very noisy, martial artists have much better hearing than ordinary people. Despite the loud noise on the street, Xiao Ji still heard some subtle movements.

The person who was searching for something in the room seemed to notice the presence of Xiao Ji and Tong Yu, so he looked up and their eyes met.

A moment later, Xiao Ji and Tong Yu jumped down from the roof and landed on the ground without any sound.

Xiao Ji spoke first: "Who are you?"
