Chapter 216 The Luthier

"No, see you off." When Shen Jiangli followed Jing Lan and Liu Xi out of the gate of the mansion, he turned his head to Jing Huan and said solemnly, "Go, go."

Jing Huan said in a worried voice, "Actually...you don't have to go."

"Fourth brother, we didn't run away from home, don't worry." Jing Lan smiled and patted Jing Huan on the shoulder, "I still have to come to the government office to handle official business during the day."

Jing Huan frowned and sighed, and looked at Shen Jiangli, "Sister Shen, it's okay, you can come back with Xiao Wu to see us."

"Okay." Shen Jiangli nodded.

Liu Xi hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a while, decided to speak out, "The child is Wei Lei, the child of Wei Jianbai and my third sister, and now the only descendant of the Wei family."

"Sister Baili, don't worry, even if he is just an orphan, mother will take good care of him." Jing Huan replied firmly.

Liu Xi said seriously: "I don't mean this..."

"Xi'er, I'll take care of those things." Jing Lan felt sorry for Liu Xi. Although her grievances were still there, Dong Jingshi was still on her mind.

Feeling relieved, Liu Xi tightened Jing Lan's hand, "Actually, I don't cry that much."

"It's better to cry less." Jing Lan met Liu Xi's teary eyes, and asked softly, "Where's the face scarf?"

Liu Xi took out the face towel from her sleeve.

"Give it to me." Jing Lan smiled and took the scarf, and gently tied it on her hands, "Let's... let's go."

"Captain!" Uncle Jing Jiu hurriedly chased after him.

Jing Lan looked at him in astonishment, "Uncle Jiu, what's the matter?"

"Second Madam said..." Uncle Jing Jiu pointedly said to Liu Xi, "There is no reason in the world to go out and squeeze into the inn. It's enough for a child to mess around once."

Jing Lan frowned and smiled, then looked back at Liu Xi, "Xi'er, you decide."

"Sister Baili, please stay." Jing Huanqi looked at Liu Xi anxiously, and glanced sideways at Shen Jiangli, "Sister Shen, can you persuade Sister Baili?"

Shen Jiangli tilted his head to look at Liu Xi, "Sister, sister?"

It is not easy for Aunt Hong to give in to this step, and Liu Xi is not a hypocritical person, "So..." Liu Xi's words came to an abrupt end, she turned her head slightly, and looked at the outside of the government office in astonishment.

Jing Lan looked along Liuxi's line of sight—under the sun, there stood a girl carrying a piano. Her blue clothes were stained with blood, and her temple hair was slightly messed up, as if she had just survived a catastrophe.

The girl in charge of the piano took a difficult step forward, pulled the wooden cart behind her and "creaked" a step forward, staggered, and couldn't help but fell to the ground, and said hoarsely: "I... want to see... the governor... "

She fell at the gate of the government office, and soon a circle of passersby surrounded her.

"Uncle Jiu, let's go over and have a look." After Jing Lan finished speaking, she led Liu Xi up quickly.

Uncle Jing Jiu called a few guards over, and after driving away the passers-by, he wanted to carry the girl carrying the piano into the mansion, but just touched her back with her hand, and the girl gritted her teeth and opened Uncle Jing Jiu's hand.

"Girl, I didn't mean to insult you." Uncle Jing Jiu explained seriously.

"First... first save... save..." Miss Chengqin pointed at the wooden cart with the last of her strength.

Shen Jiangli peeled off the withered grass on the wooden cart, exclaimed: "Yes, someone!" While speaking, she felt the pulse of the man, and frowned, "Seriously, injured!"

"Alan, you carry her in." Liu Xi gave Jing Lan a wink.

Jing Lan nodded, and picked up the seriously injured girl on the wooden cart - a jade pendant fell from the girl and fell into the withered grass.

"Uncle Jiu, help me, take this girl in first." Liu Xi looked at Uncle Jing Jiu.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, picked up the girl carrying the piano on the ground, and followed Jing Lan to the government office.

"Sister, save people first."

"Uh-huh."

Shen Jiangli followed Liuxi and followed the government office.

Liu Xi walked to the side of the wooden cart, and took out the jade pendant from the dry grass. After seeing the phoenix pattern on it, a look of surprise flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes instantly became complicated.

Jing Huan leaned over and couldn't help asking, "Sister Baili, do you know this person?"

"I think, everyone in the world knows her." Liu Xi believed that she guessed correctly. If so, Dong Jingshi might get into another trouble.

"Ah?" Jing Huan scratched the back of his head, he didn't know this girl.

Liu Xi looked at Jing Huan solemnly, "Let's go in and talk."

"En!" Jing Huan nodded, and followed Liu Xi back to the mansion.

Hearing that two injured girls had come from outside the government office, Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang also rushed to the wing.

Shen Jiangli first gave the seriously injured and comatose girl acupuncture to determine the pulse, and then prescribed a prescription for Uncle Jing Jiu to get the medicine and boil it first, which stabilized her injury.

"How is her injury?" Liu Xi asked.

Shen Jiangli frowned, "Danger, danger." As she spoke, she pointed her finger at the unconscious girl's heart, "Slap, hit." The finger moved, and then pointed to her eyes, "Poison, gathering."

"Her eyes were blinded by poison?" Liu Xi was extremely shocked.

Shen Jiangli nodded, "Meridian and pulse." She gestured anxiously, "Severe, injured."

"Can it be cured?" Liu Xi asked anxiously.

Shen Jiangli thought about it carefully, patted his chest, "Trust me!"

Hearing this, Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Liu Xi's anxiety, Jing Lan asked in a low voice, "Xi'er, do you know her?"

"Basically, you all know each other." Liu Xi nodded, "If I guessed correctly, she should be the eldest princess, Chu Xi."

"what?!"

Not to mention Jing Lan was shocked, everyone in the room was shocked.

"It's...it's her..." The girl who was leaning against the couch over there spoke weakly and asked anxiously, "Where is the governor...?"

"It's me." Jing Lan took a step forward.

Miss Chengqin stared closely at Jing Lan's face, "Lidu...has changed...and the governor...return to the teacher...King Qin..."

Sure enough, Lidu has changed as expected, otherwise how could the imperial court issue such a stupid imperial decree?

"Sister, treat her first." Liu Xi gave Shen Jiangli a wink.

"Okay, yes." Shen Jiangli walked up to the girl carrying the piano, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and said with a frown, "Seriously, hurt." As soon as the words fell, she shook off the needle bag and said seriously, "Forbearance, on."

Miss Qin gritted her teeth and nodded heavily, "Okay."

"Fourth brother, third brother, let's go out and talk." Jing Lan tugged at Jing Huan and Jing Yuan, then turned her head and took a deep look at Liu Xi, "Xi'er, I will leave this place to you."

"Yeah." Liu Xi knew what Jing Lan wanted to do, "The outside is also left to you."

"rest assured."

After Jing Lan finished speaking, she walked out of the wing with Jing Huan and Jing Yuan.

"Third brother, you use my Commander's Talisman to arrange the defense of Xiyang City. People who enter and leave Xiyang City in the past few days must ask in detail."

"it is good!"

Jing Yuan didn't dare to hesitate, and after agreeing, he went to set up defenses for Xiyang City.

Jing Huan pointed to himself, "Xiao Wu, I can help you too!"

"In the next few days, the patrolling of the government office will be left to you and Uncle Jiu." Jing Lan patted Jing Huan on the shoulder, "If you meet a master, don't be brave, let out a loud arrow, and I will help you."

"Ok!"

Jing Lan glanced at the clear sky outside the court, and felt that her vest was cold for no reason.The eldest princess has assisted the younger brother for many years, but she was seriously injured by someone. The person who succeeded must have planned for a long time.The eldest princess fled here, that person should get the news.Now that the Wei family has not been resolved, and Xishenzhou has not gained a firm foothold, and such a major event has happened... Jing Lan looked into the room from the door, and looked at Liu Xi's figure distressedly. I have worked hard.

Jing Lan stretched out her hand and slowly closed the door, turned her head to Jing Huan and said, "Fourth Brother, let's go, follow me to the barracks."

"go!"

Jing Lan took Jing Huan to the stables, led two horses out, and rode them towards the barracks outside the city.

If you want to be king, you must have soldiers and horses.But there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Xishenzhou, so Jing Lan can only go and count them first. She first thinks about how to fight this battle?

Two hours later, the eldest princess Chu Xi drank the decoction, and her body finally felt warm.

Liu Xi wiped off the blood on her face with a handkerchief, looked at her graceful face, and couldn't help sighing, "Sister, when will she wake up?"

Shen Jiangli shook his head, "Weak, weak."

Chu Xi's vitality was seriously injured, Shen Jiangli could only do his best.

Liu Xi couldn't ask her about the situation in Lidu herself, so she could only place her hopes on the girl who was playing the piano.She turned to look at Miss Chengqin, she drank the soup and reclined on the side of the couch to take a nap, coughing twice from time to time.

Jin Lingdang came in with a clean change of clothes and placed them gently on the side of the couch.

The girl holding the qin was very vigilant. After she opened her eyes and saw the golden bell, the vigilant expression slowly disappeared.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Jin Lingdang shook his head.

Now that she is awake, Liu Xi also has a lot to ask, "Sister Jin, close the doors and windows."

"En." Jin Lingdang approached the door, closed the door, and closed the window, then came over and sat beside Liu Xi.

Shen Jiangli moved a stool, sat on the other side of Liu Xi, stretched out his arm to hook Liu Xi's arm, and leaned sideways on Liu Xi's shoulder.

Liu Xi touched Shen Jiangli's head tenderly, she looked at the girl carrying the piano on the opposite couch, "I don't know girl, what's your name?"

Miss Qin Qin looked at the face scarf on her face.

Liu Xi smiled, took off the face towel and put it in his sleeve, "My name is Bailixi."

"My name is...Xue Qingxian." The girl carrying the piano spoke slowly, took off the guqin from her back with great difficulty, and put it aside, as if she was pulling the sore spot, she couldn't help coughing violently for a while.

"You... are friends with the eldest princess?" Liu Xi asked again.

Xue Qingxian pursed her lips and smiled desolately, "No."

Liu Xi whispered meaningfully: "Oh?"

"I only know that if something happens to her..." Xue Qingxian smiled self-deprecatingly, "That silly girl will definitely not live alone."

"Silly girl?" Jin Lingdang's ears perked up.

Xue Qingxian took a deep breath and nodded seriously, "Do you know where the most prosperous place in Lidu is?"

Jin Lingdang lived in the desert for a long time, she didn't know, and Shen Jiangli also lived in the gate of hell for a long time, she didn't know either.

Although Liu Xi has never been to Lidu, she has heard some rumors about the love affair in Lidu, "Could it be... Ten Mile Fireworks Lane?"

Xue Qingxian had a complicated smile, "Drunk life and dream of death, Ten Mile Fireworks Lane."

Yes, she and the eldest princess Chu Xi have never been friends.

But for that silly girl, she was willing to risk her life to escort Chu Xi here, to give her a way out, and give that silly girl a way out.

"Cough cough." Xue Qingxian covered his heart, coughed twice, and raised his eyes to meet Liu Xi's eyes, "Would you like to listen to me...tell their stories?"
