The little girl looked at Chu Qiu with timid eyes, pinching the leaky trouser legs with both hands, not daring to move, so Chu Qiu had no choice but to pick up the bowl and put a chopstick of rice to the little girl's mouth.

"Come on, don't be afraid, ah..."

Looking at the boy's gentle face, the little girl raised her eyes to look at the other two big men with unfriendly expressions, shook her body and hugged one of the boy's legs.

Chu Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although the little girl was thin, she still had some weight. Now he was straddling the man and was held by the little girl by one leg. His whole posture was a bit distorted.

"Brother...let me sit there." Almost slipping his tongue, Chu Qiu covered his rosy lips in a jerk, and Lao Yuan stared at him with big eyes, which was somewhat similar to that of a little girl.

The man smiled, and cast a glance at the girl with his dark eyes. She was frightened, let go of the boy's legs with shaking hands, and shrank back to the side without moving.

Chu Qiu cast a reproachful glance at the serious-faced man, stepped over the man's leg, squeezed his little butt, and occupied the man's position.

"Don't be afraid, kid, he just has a dark face and is not a bad guy." Chu Qiu explained to Mu Guichen that he didn't want a man to be scary in the eyes of others.

The little girl tilted her head, and reached out to grab the corner of Chu Qiu's clothes.

It feels really good to be depended on. Chu Qiu hugged the little girl back into her arms and fed her a little bit. Her stomach was full and her courage gradually returned.

The little girl took the initiative to reach out her hand, pointed to the diced chicken on the plate and said, "Little brother, I want to eat that."

This child is still very pampered, even if she is hungry, she will ask her master what she thinks instead of reaching for it by herself. This alone makes Mu Guichen and Anan's impression of her better.

Chu Qiu squeezed the little girl's hand, and said softly, "No, that dish is too spicy, you will have a stomach ache after eating it."

As soon as she heard that her stomach hurt, the little girl immediately shook her head, and Chu Qiu smiled with satisfaction, and stuffed a chopstick of small vegetables into her mouth, both the big and the small were quite satisfied.

"Ruo Ruo! Ruo Ruo where are you! Ruo Ruo!"

A man and a woman shouted not far away, the little girl's ears moved, her small face turned to the door, Chu Qiu hummed, patted her on the head and asked, "Is it your family?"

"Um"

The little girl nodded, she had already leaned towards the door, the couple also saw the daughter sitting next to the three of them, they went crazy all of a sudden, they rushed into the inn and knelt in front of Mu Guichen regardless of Xiaoer's obstruction.

"My lord, my Ruoruo is still a child, please, please let him go, please, please..."

Mu Guichen frowned, who did this couple think of them?

"Anan."

Anan responded and said to the couple: "Get up, we didn't do anything to your child."

"Aniang," the little girl couldn't see her parents being so mournful, so she also knelt down in front of the three of them, dazed, not knowing what to do.

The woman hugged the little girl and cried loudly, and the man also looked sad.

"Ruoruo, Ruoruo, are you okay?"

The woman wiped away her tears and touched the little girl up and down, for fear of getting a little wound.

"Aniang, the little brother is very good, give me food, Ruoruo is hungry."

The little girl spoke tenderly. Hearing this, the woman looked suspiciously at the smiling Chu Qiu, and touched her daughter's belly with her hand, and it was really bulging.

The man also realized that these outsiders were indeed not bad people, so he quickly apologized and took his daughter away.

The little girl was dragged and dragged out of the inn, she looked at Chu Qiu several times with a small face, and when they got home, the couple finally felt relieved.

"His mother, it seems that these people are really not the accomplices of treacherous officials. It's good luck."

"That's right, this child was born with a slow reaction time, and we have raised him so carefully, if something happens to me, I won't live anymore."

"His mother, let's move when Junsheng comes back." The man patted the woman on the back and suggested that life here would be unbearable, and if they stayed any longer, their family might die.

The woman nodded, her eyes showing firmness: "Move, we must move. Junsheng works under that treacherous official. He is worried all day long. It's better to resign early."

It turned out that the eldest son of this family was a catcher of the county government. With his son's meager salary, their family was not so difficult. Both husband and wife were farmers who lived on the land, and the wife occasionally did some manual work to subsidize the family. The youngest daughter is also an idiot, and it was difficult to raise her to such a size.

Originally, life was decent, and my son was about to say goodbye, but who knows, the original magistrate was transferred away, and a corrupt official who was rich and lustful and exploited the people came in.

"His father, let's talk to Junsheng when he comes back."

"well."

The two husband and wife huddled together in tears, looking at the innocent little daughter, they were even more determined to escape.

At the other end, Xiao Er was leaning against the counter, chatting with the shopkeeper from time to time, and staring suspiciously at the table near the corner.

The young man clasped his hands and frowned. The environment in this city was too depressing, which made people very unhappy, and he felt as heavy as a big stone on the bottom of his heart.

"Qiuqiu, remember to lock the doors and windows later, and no one is allowed to open the door except me."

The three of them went upstairs after dinner, and the sun had already set. The leader of the secret guards returned to the inn at some point, huddled in his room, but his mood returned to normal.

Chu Qiu nodded seriously, knowing what Mu Guichen's plans were for the night, so he naturally couldn't hold back.

It was night, in the wing room on the second floor of the small inn, a bright candle lit the darkness, the little boy curled up and slept soundly, the man standing by the bed was dressed in black, with a soft sword wrapped around his waist, He pressed a kiss on the boy's forehead and blew out the candle.

The sky is full of stars dotted with the dark night, and the watchmen on the street beat the gong...

Two black figures flashed across the roof of the government office, so fast that people couldn't notice it. Inside the simple-looking government office, there were winding cobblestone paths, an octagonal pavilion standing in the middle of the lake, a winding narrow road The road connects the two sides of the lake.

A goldfish jumped out of the water, and the calm lake sparkled under the moonlight. A patrol team composed of four or five people walked by the path.

A room was lit with warm light, two figures were reflected on the window screen, and the attendants dutifully guarded the door.

"Hehe, sir, please accept it."

The magistrate of Huai'an County held a brown-red wooden box in his hand, and handed it to a middle-aged man with a beard in front of him, with a flattering and flattering expression.

The middle-aged man touched his beard and took the box. On the surface, he was still calm and breezy, as if he didn't care about the items inside. This gesture made the county magistrate even lower his waist.

"Sir, what should the villain do in the future?" The county magistrate touched the sweat on his forehead and got the news that the person above him had already begun to suspect that he would send an imperial envoy to check it out at some point, and the current appearance of Huai'an County can be seen by a wise man. You know, so the county magistrate wants to find a way out for himself.

When the man came to him, he used a lot of money to coerce and lure him. When he stepped on this boat, he couldn't help himself, but the feeling of holding power and wealth in his hands was so good that he didn't want to give up.

The middle-aged man laughed a few times, put one hand behind his back, and said confidently: "Master Sun, don't worry, the old man... has his own way, you can come here..."

Sun Zhijie smiled obsequiously, leaned his chubby belly to his ear, then widened his eyes in horror, and said with a trembling voice, "This...this...sir, isn't it, isn't it necessary? ..”

"Unnecessary?" The man snorted coldly, and looked at Sun Zhijie with sorrow, "They won't die, but you will die. Master Sun, you should think twice."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Zhijie, who still wanted to say something, immediately fell silent. Compared with other people's lives, his own life is always more important.

"Master Sun, I'll give you three days to prepare. Our people are waiting three miles outside the city."

"Yes, yes, the task must be completed."

Sun Zhijie shook his legs and responded again and again. After the man flung his sleeves away, he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp dagger was caught on his neck.

Swallowing his breath without letting go, Sun Zhijie looked at the dagger on his neck with trembling hands, not daring to breathe, and looked at the person coming with fear.

"This...this...hero, how did I offend you?"

Mu Guichen walked to the desk, picked up the letter spread out on it, and read it carefully. Sun Zhijie watched the man's movements, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He was very clear about what was written on the letter.

At the same time, he also had a guess about the identity of the visitor.

"What a magistrate of Huai'an County, is it because His Majesty is not kind enough to you? Is it too long to dare to do such a deceitful thing?"

Mu Guichen threw the letter paper on Sun Zhijie's face, and gestured to Anan.

A soreness came from the neck, and Sun Zhijie's last memory stayed on the carpet in the study.

The rising sun shone warmly on the body of the leader of the dark guards. He patted the dew that had condensed on his clothes and pants, turned over and went back to the room.

Chu Qiu moved his legs, turned over lazily, and touched a wall of flesh with his face: "Ah, pain, pain..." He opened his eyes, and the man who hadn't come back from last night was lying beside him .

"General! You are back!"

The young man jumped up from the bed in surprise, grabbed Mu Guichen by the collar, and shook it excitedly.

With a headache, Mu Guichen covered his hand holding his clothes, his thick eyelashes moved slightly: "Qiuqiu, calm down."

How to calm down, Chu Qiu smirked, he thought Mu Guichen would be busy for a long time, and he was ready to see him for several days, but when he woke up, he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night in front of him, he was super excited.

"General, are you done?"

Mu Guichen got up and stretched his legs, bit the young man's face, and said, "Hurry up."

The county magistrate spit out many things, those people actually wanted to kill the whole city, and then use their people to replace the people to live here, thinking carefully, if this thing is successful, then the city will be a huge Hidden danger.

Mu Guichen rubbed his temples. The problem now is where those people are hiding. They only know the range of three miles, but they don't know the exact location.

"Qiuqiu, don't go out for the next few days, Xiaoyi will protect you."

He didn't believe that the other party would hand over the matter to Sun Zhijie, they must have a backup.
