There were red plums dotted outside the window, and the tip of the ice fell from the top, making small pits in the mud, which quickly melted into a sheet of water.

Ji Xuerong found a stack of bank notes from her outer robe, along with a neatly folded note with crooked balls drawn on it.

And Nianqiao's immature handwriting.

Your Highness, eat well and sleep well.

Qiaoqiao will miss His Highness.

……

Nianqiao woke up in the middle of the night. He was woken up by Fang Dingrong. If it is not yet light today, this place is not far from another city. Once he enters another city, it will be difficult for the pursuers to catch up.

He rubbed his eyes, but the sleepiness still persisted. Fang Dingrong had already helped him put on his clothes and shoes, and wiped his face with a cold towel.

As soon as he got in the cold water, Nianqiao immediately regained his energy. He pushed Fang Dingrong's wrist to prevent the towel from touching him.

"I will do it myself."

He wiped his hands and face by himself, but after walking for a day, his waist was sore and his back hurt, so he walked with Fang Dingrong for a long time, and then arrived at Yucheng.

Every city needs documents and customs clearance documents to enter the city. Fang Dingrong has prepared them all, as long as they are not recognized by others.

"The most wanted criminals under Shengjing's new order, anyone who provides clues will be rewarded."

It was very lively in front of the bulletin board, Nianqiao went over to take a look, but there was no portrait, he only said that he was looking for someone.

Two men, aged between 18 and 25, one tall and one short, came from the capital, and the short one had a small mole on his ear.

It is specially noted below that it must be captured alive.

Nianqiao touched his ear subconsciously, he did have a small mole on his ear.

It's just that the scope of the arrest seems to be very wide. Just in case, he bought face powder on the way to cover up the mole.

"Fang Dingrong, do you know who ordered us to be arrested?" Nian Qiao asked.

He and Fang Dingrong didn't do anything wrong, it's just because they are Ji Xuerong's people, now it seems plausible that they want to arrest them.

"It should be the Seventh Prince." Fang Dingrong said, "The Seventh Prince is now in power, and he is in charge of entering and leaving the city."

The corners of Nianqiao's lips pursed, he had to say that he saw the right person.

Mr. Ouyang often said that golden scales are by no means a thing in a pond. At that time, he felt that Ji Lingyu was like this.

Perhaps a bad background and unfair treatment can all be turned into a sharp edge to sharpen Ji Lingyu.

I don't know if Ji Lingyu will be unfavorable to Ji Xuerong.

Although Ji Xuerong is also thoughtful, he is still a little worried.

Nianqiao saw a shop selling steamed stuffed buns on the side of the street, and they were filled with goat's milk, which he had never tried.

He poked Fang Dingrong and motioned Fang Dingrong to buy him buns.

Fang Dingrong then passed by, looking around at Nianqiao, there was a lion dancer on the other side, he was a little curious, turned his head and glanced at Fang Dingrong who was buying buns.

Nianqiao only walked a little bit forward, and there were people coming and going around, and with the sound of "good news at the border", there were more people, and he was squeezed so hard that he bumped into people and hit his head.

"The news of the victory at the frontier. General Xiao outwitted Runwei City, causing Liao and Shouyu to retreat [-] li to the west overnight."

Nianqiao was pushed back and forth, he hit his head and it hurt a bit, he stretched out his hand to cover the gap in his head for a while, when he looked again, the bun in his arms was gone.

Inside the bun was his longevity lock, as well as He's Bi as a gift from Ji Xuerong.

Nian Qiao immediately looked over and saw his steamed stuffed bun in the crowd, a thin and short man was digging deep into the crowd.

"stop--"

He became anxious, and immediately went to chase people, forgetting Fang Dingrong's explanation, he didn't care about the people coming and going around, and followed the short and thin man with his eyes, chasing after him while shouting.

Yucheng is prosperous, and it is a land of splendor, with long and intricate streets.

Nianqiao was dizzy from running. He didn't do much exercise on weekdays. He ran in the yard at most. At this time, his face was flushed, and he disappeared after a circle.

He stood there a little at a loss, turned his head to look around, it was not a lion dance place, and there was no bun shop opposite, Fang Dingrong didn't know where he went.

The note that Ji Xuerong wrote to him was also in the bun, but now the bun is gone, and it is all things Ji Xuerong gave him inside.

Nianqiao couldn't help tears falling down as he thought about it, his chest tightened up and down, he was a little confused in place, he looked around for a while, trying to find the dealer who had just stolen his buns.

"Did you see a short and thin man, wearing coarse clothes, who just passed here..."

Nianqiao arrested a person and asked him. He was timid, anxious and scared in his heart, and his voice was slightly low. He asked several people, but no one answered him.

It was half an hour after Fang Dingrong found the person.

When Nian Qiao saw Fang Dingrong, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He quickly grabbed Fang Dingrong's clothes and his voice was crying.

"Fang Dingrong, my things were stolen, is there a way for you to get them back?"

Fang Dingrong was still holding the food he bought for him, the first thing he did when he heard this was not to answer his question, but to find a rope from somewhere.

One end of the rope was connected to Nianqiao's wrist, and the other end was connected to Fang Dingrong's wrist.

Fang Dingrong was sure that the rope was not easy to untie, so he let him go.

Nianqiao was angry at first, but Fang Dingrong ignored him, and he became even more angry, crying loudly, and was dragged forward by Fang Dingrong.

"What are you doing by tying my wrist, I will tell Brother Prince."

Fang Dingrong put the food into his arms and answered his question, "I'm afraid of losing it."

Then he asked him, "Where did you lose it? Did you see the appearance of the stolen thing?"

Nianqiao was still crying, and was caught off guard by a bag full of food. The rope was specially made so that it wouldn't rub his wrists, but he would be dragged forward by Fang Dingrong.

He described the dealer who came out to steal things intermittently, and told what happened.

Fang Dingrong got a general understanding, and first asked someone to change a map.

Nianqiao's eyes were swollen into walnuts from crying, and he didn't know where Fang Dingrong was going to take him.

He lost the things that Ji Xuerong gave him, if he couldn't find them, he didn't have to go to Yincheng.

"What are you doing here?"

Fang Dingrong took him to a pawnshop deep in an alley, deliberately hidden in the dark, and had been squatting here for an hour.

"Wait for someone." Fang Dingrong lowered his eyes slightly, his dark eyes reflected Nian Qiao's weeping face, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe Nian Qiao's tears.

Nianqiao glanced at it, the light yellow handkerchief was the one he had given to Fang Dingrong before, his original fragrant handkerchief was a bit smelly by Fang Dingrong.

A faint smell of sweat, and a very faint smell of blood.

He was caught off guard by a handkerchief covering his face. Fang Dingrong was born as a guard, so his attacks were not serious.

When he let go of his hand, Nianqiao had two red marks on his face, and Nianqiao was in so much pain that he almost cried again.

Fang Dingrong fell silent, he didn't know how to stop Nianqiao from crying, and he said after a while: "The things can be found."

Nianqiao was sobbing, he only realized when he heard the words, his eyes were fixed on Fang Dingrong, and he sniffed and asked sullenly, "Really?"

Fang Dingrong hummed, and at this moment, there was movement from the alley outside.

Nian Qiao looked over, it was the peddler who stole his buns today, and now he is holding his buns.

Fang Dingrong temporarily untied the rope on his wrist, and the dagger in his hand reflected a cold light in the alley. With a bang, the dagger flew towards the peddler and plunged into the center of the door in front of the peddler.

There were flying fish patterns on the dagger, and before the peddler could react, Fang Dingrong was already in front of him, aiming the machete at the peddler's neck.

Nianqiao watched the whole process in the alley, the peddler immediately handed over the things, Fang Dingrong glanced at him.

Then he withdrew his head and went straight out to Fang Dingrong's side to check whether there was anything missing in the bun.

The bank notes inside are gone.

Nianqiao stared at the peddler with dark eyes, and asked, "Where did my money go?"

The peddler turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled, "I used it to pay off the debt, and I gave it to my boss, and it's gone."

Nian Qiao didn't care, his things belonged to him, he looked at Fang Dingrong eagerly.

Fang Dingrong didn't say anything, as soon as he loosened his fingers, the thin layer of skin under the dagger was cut open, and blood gushed out immediately.

"I said, I said...my lord, spare your life."

The peddler took the two of them to the place where the banknotes were stored. He counted the number of banknotes several times to make sure that none of them was missing.

Nianqiao has not calmed down, he can see that this man is not only a thief, but also a gambler and alcoholic, if he and such a man's family must be bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Fang Dingrong directly tied people into rice dumplings.

Nian Qiao never hit anyone, only slapped someone, and Xiao Yiyun was the only one who slapped anyone.

Originally unable to do anything, Nianqiao replaced the peddler on the ground with Xiao Yiyun.If Xiao Yiyun stole what Ji Xuerong gave him... His eyes immediately burst into flames, and angrily slapped the peddler like a pig's head.

When Nianqiao came out, he kept tugging on Fang Dingrong's sleeve. He was still a little scared, and he held on to his bun tightly, and the other hand was connected to Fang Dingrong's wrist.

Then they walked around Yucheng, Nianqiao felt awkward, he was led by Fang Dingrong, if he walked a little farther, Fang Dingrong would pull the rope to pull him back.

Even the old man who had good deeds saw it, and said with a smile: "Why did you prepare a rope, what a good brother, I am afraid that my brother will get lost?"

Fang Dingrong hummed, keeping his eyes on Nianqiao.

Nianqiao was a little unhappy when he heard that, he is not a three-year-old child, and he is not so easy to get lost.

Thinking this way, he didn't ask Fang Dingrong to untie the rope.

If his things were stolen, Fang Dingrong was by his side, and he could snatch them back immediately.

At night, Fang Dingrong found an inn.

The two of them lived in one room, and Nianqiao took a bath inside, so Fang Dingrong was kept outside.

There was only one bed in the room, so naturally he slept on it.

Nianqiao went to bed after taking a shower. He touched his wrist and the sole of his foot, and the pain was no longer there.

His toes moved, and he applied ointment to the sore spots.

He turned his head and took a look, and found that Fang Dingrong was looking at him. He looked at Fang Dingrong, and Fang Dingrong looked away again.

The wood peeked at him.

Nian Qiao said unhappily: "You are not allowed to look at me casually, be careful I will tell Brother Prince."

When he said that, Fang Dingrong ignored him.

He hugged the quilt and slowly fell asleep on the bed, when suddenly there was a movement in the middle of the night.

There was a sound of light armor outside, followed by a knock on the door next to them.

"I was ordered to examine the suspect and open the door."

Nianqiao was still in a daze, but he immediately woke up when he heard the words, and he subconsciously looked at Fang Dingrong at the side.

Fang Dingrong opened a pair of dark eyes. They hesitated for a while, and the soldiers had already arrived at the door of their room.

"Open the door."

Nianqiao was still on the bed, Fang Dingrong came in front of him, before he could speak, Fang Dingrong covered his mouth.

Fang Dingrong's deep voice sounded in his ears, with a little coldness.

"Call a few times."
