Chapter 167 Rescue Qingyao [3.08k]

In just a split second, the entire inn was brightly lit.

Even the beggars at the entrance of the alley on the opposite side woke up.

Xiao Ran's head came out through the snow, even though it was separated by a thick layer of snow, he could still distinguish whose voice it was.

Almost instantly, Xiao Ran, covered in snow, rushed into the inn.

The proprietress hurried out of the house with her clothes on, while the man held an oil lamp and stood at the foot of the stairs tremblingly looking at the crowd.

The guy lives on the second floor and probably saw something.

He looked terrified, and then slowly said: "I just heard movement on the roof, and then the sound of tiles falling..."

The proprietress glanced at Xiao Ran, then anxiously asked the buddy: "And then!"

The guy swallowed and gasped heavily: "Then there was that girl screaming...but I dare not go in and see what happened..."

The proprietress cursed, and then went upstairs with a bang, Xiao Ran frowned, and rushed up.

The three stood guard at the door of a room on the second floor, surrounded by many awakened guests. They looked puzzled, but they almost guessed something.

There was no movement in the room, not even the sound of breathing.

The proprietress glanced at everyone, and then stepped forward first, trying to push the door open.

Xiao Ran didn't care whether Qingyao would see him later. He only cared about what was going on inside now.

The door was opened, and under the light of the fire, the dust floating in the air could be clearly seen.

On the ground in the center of the room was a pile of fallen tiles.

There is a huge hole above the house, through the hole, the pale moonlight just shone in, the light was cold and chilling.

But what made everyone's hearts tense was that there was no one in the room.

Xiao Ran walked in and glanced inside.

There was an overturned vase on the table. It could be seen that it had just been knocked down, and the water in it was still dripping along the corner of the table onto the ground.

Lying flat on the table were several bouquets of bright red roses. These were some of the better-selling ones. It seemed that Qing Yao specially picked them out and kept them in vases.

After knowing that it was given by me, a beggar, are you not willing to throw it away?
Xiao Ran felt for a moment that maybe only these few red flowers could give Qingyao short-term comfort these days.

What had happened to her all this time?
Xiao Ran squatted on the ground, clutching his head, in great pain.

At this moment, some movement suddenly came from the first floor.

"Sister Hong! A group of beggars outside are clamoring to see their leader!" A voice came.

After hearing this, Xiao Ran raised his head. The beggar was very quiet during this time, and he would not take the initiative to disturb Xiao Ran if there was nothing important.

He quickly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed downstairs.

The beggars were a little excited when they saw Xiao Ran, they all raised their fingers and pointed in one direction.

"Master! A brother just saw a few black shadows jump off the roof of the inn and run away from the alley behind. It seems that there is a person on his back!"

"What then?"

Xiao Ran turned back gratefully. It was the boss's wife who helped him ask questions, otherwise the beggars would not understand what he meant by asking questions like "Aba Aba".

"Then a group of black shadows ran to the south. There were many people and the speed was fast!"

Xiao Ran frowned, south, isn't that the direction of Changyan Kingdom?

At this moment, Xiao Ran looked at the proprietress, and pointed to the clothes on her body.

The landlady understood immediately and looked at the beggars: "Did you see clearly what clothes they were wearing?"

The beggars paused for a while and shook their heads: "It's too dark over there, so I can't see clearly, but the clothes on their bodies will reflect light!"

Xiao Ran's pupils shrank suddenly, it was armor!

Could it be that the black shadows were officers and soldiers?
The officers and soldiers took Qingyao and fled to the direction of Changyan country, so the officers and soldiers came from Changyan country?

What is the meaning of Changyan Kingdom taking away the princess of Qinglan Kingdom?
Xiao Ran was completely confused.

I don't know if this involves any disputes, or a hijacking plan that has been planned for a long time.

But what Xiao Ran can be sure of is that Qing Yao must not be happy.

What does Qinglan country or Changyan country's interests have to do with him, Xiao Ranneng?
He only cares about Qing Yao!

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ran was about to run out of the inn, ready to chase towards the south.

But as soon as he ran to the door of the inn, he stopped.

Because he has not completed the task given by the system, only 25 days have passed, and there are still five days before the end of the task.

He can't leave Hongchen Inn for these five days!

Xiao Ran was a little devastated. Whether he would be arranged by the system on the imperial concubine's bed was no longer an important matter. He was only worried about what would happen to Qing Yao during the delay.

If the system still has humanity, I hope he can understand me, Xiao Ran said to himself, he decided to walk out of the inn.

At this moment, "Ding Dong!"

The sudden sound made Xiao Ran stop again.

"Hold something related to the Hongchen Inn, and you haven't violated the rules."

The indifferent mechanical sound of the system seemed to be no longer indifferent in an instant in this cold world.

Xiao Ran ran into the inn and wrote a word to the proprietress on the counter.

"Please send me something related to Hongchen Inn, don't ask why, I am very grateful!"

After the proprietress saw it, she considered it for a long time, and she felt more and more that the beggar in front of her was not an ordinary person.

At the same time, she was also thinking about what to give Xiao Ran.

Suddenly, she thought of something!
The proprietress opened the drawer of the counter and took out a thin booklet.

"This is a story I wrote about you and the girl. I don't know much about it. Most of it is fiction."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a while, his eyes lingered on the pamphlet for a long time.

Finally, he accepted it gratefully, and when he was about to leave, the proprietress called him down again.

"I hope you can tell me your own story when you come next time." Sister Hong smiled.

In the dim light, only Xiao Ran's eyes could be seen. In Sister Hong's eyes, Xiao Ran had changed into another appearance, not the one in front of him.

Xiao Ran nodded and put the booklet in his arms.

When passing by the group of beggars, there was a deafening sound behind him.

"Congratulations to the lord!"

This time Xiao Ran didn't feel any embarrassment abnormally.

……

After leaving Zheliu Town, there will be a large section of sparsely populated area. In that area, there is only one official road jointly built by Changyan and Qinglan.

The road is long, and Landau, who sells pork, knows it well.

Xiao Ran directly controlled the sword, but he didn't know if there was a law prohibiting the sky above Changyan Kingdom.

It is estimated that the team of officers and soldiers has already stepped into the border of Changyan country.

Qingyao was taken away, what Xiao Ran thought of for a moment was that there might be some dispute between the two countries, and Qingyao just became the bargaining chip for Changyan country to threaten Qinglan country.

But now, Xiao Ran overturned this possibility.

He still remembered that 24 days ago, a large group of officers and soldiers from Qinglan Country went to Changyan Country. Thinking about it now, maybe Qingyao was sitting in the sedan chair in the team at that time.

It's just that there were only three thoughts in Xiao Ran's mind at the time.

[-]. Don't let these officers and soldiers find me, an impolite beggar, so as not to cause trouble.

Two, this bun is delicious!
[-]. The proprietress has such a great figure!

There are also those two or three gorgeous sedan chairs, Xiao Ran now guesses that maybe the emperor is among them...

As for why Qinglan Kingdom sent so many people to escort the princess to Changyan...

There is only one possibility in Xiao Ran's mind, and that is marriage.

He even made up the appearance of Qingyao disguised as a man, secretly left the imperial city, and then fled to the Hongchen Inn on the border of Qinglan Country...

There may be something somewhere that has paved the way for Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran thinks it is fate, but from the system's perspective, it is big data.

What a big data!

When the sky was slightly bright, Xiao Ran drove the flying sword and successfully crossed the border of Changyan Kingdom.

The frontier area of ​​the country was not set up with the air ban technique, so Xiao Ran continued to fly towards the center of Changyan Kingdom.

At this moment, he finally bumped into a layer of enchantment head-on.

Through the slightly rippling barrier, Xiao Ran saw the towering city wall below.

The capital of Changyan Kingdom?
Even if that team had a carriage, their speed would definitely not be as fast as Xiao Ran who was flying with a sword.

So Xiao Ran concluded that he came to the capital one step ahead of them, and what he had to do now was to wait.

The first thing was to enter the city gate, and Xiao Ran found a remote place to drop down.

Putting away the long sword and taking out the porcelain bowl, Xiao Ran returned to the appearance of a beggar again.

To his surprise, the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city let him in directly, with an extremely impatient attitude, as if they looked at him and felt that his life span would be shortened by a few minutes.

It's dirty and ugly and really works!
After entering the capital, Xiao Ran had two choices before him.

One: When the team of officers and soldiers arrived, I cut my beard halfway.

Two: After the group of officers and soldiers sent Qingyao into the imperial city, Xiao Ran sneaked in and rescued Qingyao.

The first one is obviously simpler and rougher, but the disadvantage is that time is too tight, Xiao Ran is still in the system mission period, and he cannot use many skills, because Qing Yao will recognize him.

Of course, this is only one of the shortcomings, and another influencing factor is that Qing Yao is still disgusted by Xiao Ran's appearance, and Qing Yao may not obey her own words and run away.

As for the second option, it must be delayed for a few days before it can be implemented.

At that time, the mission period is over, Xiao Ran can use all his abilities, and his appearance will change to the original one. The junior sister will only feel that the senior brother has come to save her, and will not feel that she just escaped from a forced marriage and is being targeted by a pervert... …

Xiao Ran was hesitating.

Although there are many advantages in the second type, the imperial city is heavily guarded, and it is hard to say whether Xiao Ran can enter or not.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ran decisively chose the first option.

The street in front of him is the only way to enter the imperial city, and there are many shops around. The officers and soldiers who hijacked Qingyao must have entered the city secretly and would not take the initiative to clear the road.

At that time, Xiao Ran can take advantage of the surrounding geographical advantages to cause trouble for the team to move forward, and then cause a commotion, taking advantage of the chaos to rescue Qing Yao.

If Qing Yao refuses to go with her at that time, then Xiao Ran can only be rough.

Xiao Ran took the broken porcelain bowl, found a corner and sat down, and began to wait quietly.

Not far in front of him was a pork stall.
