Undercover Self-Rescue System

The beauty contest ended, and Wu Xing only got No.4.Although she felt a little regretful in her heart, Wu Xing accepted the result very calmly.

The venue for the competition is being rebuilt. It would have been rebuilt before the competition, but it has been raining recently, so the construction schedule has been delayed.This place is temporary.

The backstage is just a relatively small space constructed with silk cloth.

Wu Xing returned to the backstage, packed up her belongings with the maid, and prepared to go home.

"Miss Wu, the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion is looking for you." An eight or nine-year-old girl crawled out from under the red silk cloth and stopped Wu Xing in her footsteps.

"Little girl, did you find the wrong person?" Wu Xing looked at this eight or nine-year-old girl. In this beauty contest, she only won No.4 and did not enter the top three. People from the city lord's mansion asked her to do it What?

The little girl looked at her enviously, wondering when she would be able to look so good-looking.She bit her finger and said, "That's right, Mr. Butler is indeed here to look for you."

Wu Xing frowned, and finally couldn't figure out the reason, "Okay, take me to see him."

The little girl finished the task, skipped ahead of Wu Xing, and took her to find the housekeeper.

Wu Xing saw Steward Liu at the corner of the back door of the ring, and besides that, Tang Qiong, who was ranked fifth.The housekeeper is a rich middle-aged man with plump cheeks.Tang Qiong stood stiffly behind the butler, with her head down, expressionless.

Tang Qiong is a peasant girl. She took off the gorgeous dress borrowed from others, and only wore ordinary linen clothes. She also looked beautiful, with a kind of aura between mountains and rivers.

Wu Xing saluted the housekeeper, then nodded to Tang Qiong.Tang Qiong nodded coldly.

Butler Liu didn't think much of Tang Qiong. Although Tang Qiong was pretty, he still felt that compared with Wu Xing, a scholarly young lady, her temperament and quality were really lower.

"Miss Wu, the city lord ordered me to invite you to the house as a guest, and I hope you will do me a favor." Butler Liu was very polite.Wu Xing's family is a scholarly family, her father is talented in literature, and Wu Xing is also a well-known talented woman in Huilan City.

Wu Xing was surprised, "Butler Liu, I wonder what the city lord's invitation is for?" Wu Xing glanced at Tang Qiong indistinctly, and the faint joy in Tang Qiong's eyes did not escape her eyes.

"I don't know much about your lord's affairs. Please trouble the two girls to come with me." Butler Liu turned his body sideways and respectfully invited the two to get into the carriage behind.

Wu Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, after all, their family is just a small family and cannot afford to offend a city lord.Wu Xing had no choice but to turn around and tell the maid beside her to go home to announce, and then followed Tang Qiong into the car.

According to previous years, every time the top three in the beauty pageant live directly in the city lord's mansion, and then are escorted to Kyoto by the people of the city lord's mansion.However, the two of them were not in the top three, how could they be invited?

Wu Xing frowned.Abnormally there must be a demon.

The carriage stopped suddenly, Wu Xing and Tang Qiong were both caught off guard and fell into a ball.Wu Xing supported Tang Qiong, and the two sat down again.Wu Xing lifted the curtain beside the carriage and looked outside.It turned out that he had already arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion before he knew it.A carriage suddenly ran out ahead and blocked their way, and the driver stopped abruptly.

The carriage also stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.Wu Xing looked at a man and a woman coming down from a carriage in front, with their backs turned to her, Wu Xing couldn't see clearly.So Wu Xing lowered the window.

After a while, Steward Liu invited them out, and Wu Xing and Tang Qiong got out of the car.The two people just now had disappeared.

Butler Liu led the two of them into the mansion.As soon as he entered the door, a woman with a serious face came up to him.

"Girls, I am Mrs. Zhang from the mansion. The city lord has ordered you two to live here temporarily for a while, and I will take care of you for the time being. The city lord will come back to you after dealing with the matters at hand. You two girls don't have to worry. , the city lord has sent someone to notify your family members. You two just live in peace of mind, and you can tell the younger one if you have something to do." Mrs. Zhang turned to Steward Liu and said, "Butler Liu, let us take the two girls to the place where we live. .”

Butler Liu nodded.Wu Xing followed behind Mrs. Zhang, feeling more and more uneasy.While Tang Qiong was excited, she also felt that something was wrong, but she chose the same silence as Wu Xing.Wu Xing wanted to talk to Mrs. Zhang and find out some news, but Mrs. Zhang seemed to be a strict and hard-to-talk person.Wu Xing didn't dare to play tricks in front of her.

Wu Xing and Tang Qiong were arranged to live in the pear orchard, and they lived opposite each other. Mrs. Zhang arranged for them to leave.

Zhiyao sat on the tree, watched Mrs. Zhang leave, her eyes wandered between Tang Qiong and Wu Xing's room, and finally left as if giving up.

When Wu Mu came out of Zheng Hongyue's room, he happened to run into the paper kite who was upstairs. He walked over with a smile, and looked back at Zheng Hongyue's room worriedly. Harrier, "How does the beauty look?"

Zhi Harrier smiled, "It's pleasing to the eye."

Seeing Zhiyao's friendly smile, Wu Mu wanted to get closer, Wu Mu felt weird.Maybe it's because he thinks that Zhiyao is the same kind as himself, so he wants to be intimate?

Wu Mu: "It's really good-looking." Regardless of prejudice, the beauties who make it into the top ten must have their own characteristics.It's a pity that he has an April day in his heart, and he can't hold other people anymore.

The two said hello and left, and went back to their rooms.

Wu Mu was lying on the bed. After confessing, he relaxed a lot. He gave up this mission directly, so he didn't feel oppressed.Although he was a little scared and worried about the unknown punishment, it was not imminent, and Wu Mu didn't feel particularly scared.

After three invitations and four invitations from the city lord, Qingliu and Zisu finally nodded and came to live in the city lord's mansion.Since they are distinguished guests of the house, the city lord arranged the two of them in Taoyuan.The scenery there is beautiful and very quiet, suitable for cultivation.

"Dong dong—" there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Qingliu stopped meditating and said looking in the direction of the door.

The door was pushed open, and a maid with two buns stood at the door and said respectfully, "Friar Qingliu, the city lord invites you to go ahead for dinner."

Qing Liu nodded and followed the maid out the door.

Qingliu has been practicing meditation since she moved into Taoyuan, and has no time to enjoy the scenery.At this moment, someone was leading the way, and Qingliu admired the scenery in front of him.

It is named Taoyuan here, but it is actually a real Taoyuan.The peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, butterflies are flying around, the paths paved with bluestone slabs are interlaced, and a small number of orchids are planted in the yard.It's refreshing to watch.

The scale of Taoyuan is not big or small, but it has all the internal organs, buildings, pavilions and pavilions, and corridors are staggered.Walking in this peach garden, there is an illusion of walking into a fairyland on earth.

When passing by the fork in the corridor, Qingliu was so fascinated by the scenery that he didn't notice the person all of a sudden.The maid at the front looked at the two people who collided with each other in panic, and was at a loss for what to do.

Qingliu helped the girl who fell on top of her, "I'm sorry, I was so obsessed with the scenery, I didn't notice the person."

Tang Qiong was so bored in the house that she went out for a walk, but she got lost.

Tang Qiong blushed, "The scenery is quite beautiful, and it is understandable that the young master was taken aback."

Only then did Qingliu see the facial features of the person in front of him clearly, and with an even more guilty expression, he said in a gentle and humorous way, "No, no, that's when I realized that the scenery is not beautiful. It's because I don't know 'scenery'."

Tang Qiong was teased by the handsome young master in front of her, her face became even more red than peach blossoms.

Tang Qiong's family is a poor farmer's family. There are three elder brothers in the family. After the eldest brother married a wife, the second son was so poor that the third son's daughter-in-law could not afford to marry.

However, as Tang Qiong grew older, she became more and more beautiful, and her family was moved.She was raised at home, and she was not allowed to do farm work, and took out all her savings to ask the teacher to teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she reached the age, she would participate in the draft, and then fly to the branches to enjoy the happiness with the whole family.Unexpectedly, Tang Qiong lost the election and got No.5.When she felt extremely lost and frightened, she received an invitation from the city lord. Although she didn't know why, she was very happy in her heart. Maybe she could marry a dignitary even if she couldn't enter the palace...

Tang Qiong is a girl who is silent and will not resist.The family used up all their money and pinned their hopes on her alone. Tang Qiong felt that her failure to be elected was simply killing her family with her own hands.

Sometimes Tang Qiong can suddenly predict some things. When she was very young, she once predicted the death date of her grandfather. After telling the family, no one believed it.However, Tang Qiong's prophecy was confirmed.The family members were terrified.This hurt the young Tang Qiong very much. Since then, she suddenly foresaw what happened and chose to remain silent.The family gradually forgot about it.

She looked at the man in front of her, and the hesitant and struggling expression on her face fell into Qingliu's eyes.

Qingliu looked at her, "What's the matter, girl?"

Tang Qiong gritted her teeth, maybe this son would not be afraid of her weirdness, she couldn't help but reminded: "Young master has suffered a bloody disaster recently, please be more careful."

Qingliu looked at Tang Qiong in surprise, Tang Qiong was afraid that he saw the same fear as others in his eyes, turned around and left.

Qingliu was baffled, he was a monk, and he had a vague premonition of what would happen in the near future, and he didn't realize that he had the so-called bloody disaster.Qingliu thought, maybe some girl just wanted to attract her attention.

Qingliu shook her head, feeling a little disappointed with Tang Qiong, she was also a beautiful lady.

"Cultivator be careful!" The maid screamed.

"Meow——", a scream broke Qingliu's contemplation.

A raccoon cat emerged from the peach grove and jumped onto Qingliu's body, then jumped into the flowers and ran away.Qingliu felt some pain on his face, and when he touched it, there was blood on his hand.Qingliu froze for a moment.

The maid looked at Qingliu nervously, and took out a handkerchief to stop Qingliu's bleeding.She explained tremblingly, "It's Madam's cat. It's timid, and it's afraid to see strangers, so it attacked you."

Qingliu waved her hand to tell the maid not to worry.He was no longer as angry as before, but fell into the reminder just now, Qingliu asked the maid, "Which girl was it just now?"

"That's Miss Tang Qiong, No.5 in the beauty pageant, the city lord invited her to be a guest."

Qingliu frowned.
