Riding the Pheonix Chapter 208: Check

Qi Ping's men swarmed forward and restrained the two followers. ()

The body of Mr. Cao was quickly carried out.

The blood was wiped away, the furnishings were replaced, and in a short time, the room was tidy.

Gui Niang also changed her clothes and stood beside Ji Xiaowu silently.

The smile flashed across Qi Ping's face, but his tone was very gentle: "Brother Guo, Gui Niang is very scared. Can you stay with her for a while?"

Ji Xiaowu raised his head, his eyes a little blank.

Qi Ping smiled, patted his shoulder, and prepared to go out.

Before leaving, I called Duofu.

Duofu refused to leave: "I want to stay with the young master."

Qi Ping said: "Your young master is very frightened. Let him be quiet for a while."

Duofu opened his mouth and saw that Ji Xiaowu was in a state of confusion. He struggled for a while and then complied.

Only Ji Xiaowu and Gui Niang were left in the room.

Gui Niang wanted to speak, but when she saw his expression, she swallowed it back.

Ji Xiaowu spoke first: "Sister, what I said before is still valid. Are you willing to let me redeem your life? In the future, change your identity, be a good wife, find a good man to marry, and have children... …”

Gui Niang looked away with a sad look in her eyes: "Mr. Guo..."

"Look at you, how are you living here? If I don't come back in time today, will you..."

Gui Niang was silent.

"Actually, this is my first time to kill someone." Ji Xiaowu looked down at his hands, "I don't know how..."

The sadness in Guiniang's eyes became even stronger. Hall Master Qi originally asked her to entangle Mr. Guo and ask him to accidentally kill Cao Langzhong and drag him into the water. She actually didn't want to do this. Even at the last moment, she was wondering if she could pretend that she didn't do it...

Unexpectedly, before she did anything, Mr. Guo took action...

Gui Niang felt that she was standing on the edge of a cliff. With just a slight push, she could make him fall down and die without a burial place.

Of course, she doesn't have to do this. But the consequence of not doing it is that she will die without a burial place.

I don’t know how long it took, but she grabbed Ji Xiaowu’s sleeve, raised her tearful face, and said, “Mr. Guo, Gui Niang will follow you from now on!”

Ji Xiaowu glanced at her and lowered his eyes to cover up his fleeting disappointment.

Sure enough, is this a trap?

……

Qi Ping entered the yard next door.

"Elder, that kid really took the bait."

Elder Ge nodded, without any joy on his face.

Qi Ping felt something was wrong with the atmosphere: "Elder, what happened?"

Elder Ge took a sip from his wine gourd and said, "All the nests we had outside were raided."

Qi Ping was startled: "How could..."

"I heard that the Imperial City Department was involved, and this incident caused a big fuss." Elder Ge frowned, "Who told them to be ignorant and abduct the young lady of the Marquis Chengen family?"

In fact, this kind of young lady from a wealthy family is their favorite target. Because they have been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and have good manners and temperament.

However, they have always been very measured and would not touch anyone whose status is too prominent.

Unexpectedly, this time, the kidnapper under his command was so careless that he abducted the young lady from Chengenhou's family.

That is not an ordinary young lady from the Hou family, she is the prince’s cousin!

By the time the boss found out, it was already too late.

If you hand the person over now, don't expect to calm the storm. The Imperial City Department has intervened, and there must be a result.

Just as he was talking, someone from outside hurriedly came to report: "Elder, our stronghold in Pingfu Lane has also been raided!"

Qi Ping was startled for a moment: "What? Even Pingfu Lane..."

The people living in Pingfu Lane are all good people, and only a few people know that it is also one of the strongholds of the Beggar Clan.

Elder Ge frowned: "Pingfu Lane actually let them know about it?"

Qi Ping could hear a trace of anxiety in his voice and asked hurriedly: "Elder, the Imperial City Division is the Imperial City Division after all. Since Pingfu Lane has been exposed, then here..."

Elder Ge hesitated for a long time, still a little reluctant: "Wait a minute, there are even fewer people who know about Kangle Lane, and they may not know."

……

A carriage that had gone to the emblem was parked outside Connaught Lane.

There are often high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming and going here, but it is not noticeable.

In the car, after listening to Little White Snake’s report, Mingwei couldn’t help frowning: “What do they want to do?”

Yang Shu said lazily: "Isn't this obvious? Use beauty to lure your cousin into the bait and get him involved in the murder. In order to protect yourself, take him step by step into the ditch. Whether you use this matter to Go to the Guo family, or take this opportunity to attack the Guo family, it will be of great benefit to them."

Unfortunately, Ji Xiaowu is a fake Young Master Guo.

Mingwei's eyes lit up: "This is a perfect opportunity. They want to push my cousin into the trap, so we will use their tricks..."

Yang Shu tapped his fan on the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "That's exactly what I meant."

He lifted the curtains and winked at the secret guard outside. When he came closer, he whispered a few instructions.

The secret guard nodded and left.

Not long after the two of them waited, the sound of horse riding sounded again.

……

As early as when the official left Pingfu Lane and came to Kangle Lane, Elder Ge received the report.

Qi Ping panicked when he heard this: "Elder, did they also know about this?"

Pingfu Lane is not only an important base for them to make friends with senior officials, but also the best female actresses are here.

Elder Ge was also surprised, but he reacted very quickly: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry, move somewhere!"

This means giving up this stronghold.

Qi Ping was a little reluctant to give up, but he also knew that saving his life was more important, and the worst he could do was make a comeback.

So he apologized and hurried back.

"Brother Guo, Brother Guo!" He hurriedly opened the door of Gui Niang's room and saw the two of them still leaning together. While anxious, he felt a little proud.

This young master Guo fell into the trap easily.

Thinking this in his heart, he didn't miss it at all on his face and said anxiously: "Brother Guo, it's bad! An official is coming this way."

"Ah!" Ji Xiaowu was shocked and said in a panic, "Did something happen? How come it happened so fast?"

"I don't know either. ~IndoMTL.com~ Qi Ping deliberately did not clarify.

"Then what should I do? No, we can't ask the officials to arrest us. Guiniang, let's go together!"

Gui Niang didn’t expect this, and didn’t know what to say.

Qi Ping grabbed him suddenly: "No! Those officials will be here soon. You can't escape with Gui Niang."

"What should we do?" Ji Xiaowu was confused.

Qi Ping said at the right time: "Brother Guo, calm down! How can you and I put you in trouble? Just listen to me, there is a secret passage in the next room..."

"Okay, okay!" Ji Xiaowu was overjoyed and held his hand tightly, "Brother Qi's help will be repaid generously in the future."

"We are all brothers, why should we retaliate? Come on, stop cleaning up and leave!"

When the officers entered Kangle Lane, several houses here were already empty...
