The tyrant family read my heart and doted on me.

Dijiang thought the same thing.

Both of them were very angry.

"We were almost there, almost there, and we caught this evildoer." Di Jiang kicked the stone under his feet away in anger.

Jiujiu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "I didn't expect that he would jump into the river."

It seems unexpected, but it is reasonable.

Qin Nian comforted the two of them, "Okay, don't be angry. We are all human, not gods. It is impossible for us to predict every step. You two have done well enough."

Qin Nian admired Jiujiu and Dijiang very much. They had already done what most people could not do.

For example, in the current situation, Zhongzhou is safe to a certain extent. The people will no longer be tortured for no reason and they are all free.

As for the accident that An Zisong escaped.

No one expected that An Zisong would be so cruel as to use his father's life as bait to induce Di Jiang to kill him.

If it weren't for this little episode, the princess and his majesty would not have let those men in black come forward, and would not have been surrounded by their flesh and blood, leaving them in a dilemma.

"Next, order someone to come and look for it."

"This river is really too wide, and there are mountains nearby. It would be too difficult for us to find people by ourselves."

Qin Nian suggested.

Jiujiu nodded, "It can only be like this."

Qin Nian stayed here and continued to look for people. Jiujiu and Dijiang went back and sent people over to look for people again.

However, they searched for three days and three nights but still found no one.

On the tenth day, the soldiers salvaged a male corpse with a completely disfigured face from downstream of the river.

The clothes worn by the male corpse were exactly the same as those worn by An Zisong when he fell into the river that day. His height also matched, and all visible features seemed to match, except for his face.

It looks like the disfigurement is caused by a collision with the face, but...

Jiujiu didn't feel good.

So is Dijiang.

Only Qin Nian, Chu Yang and Pei Qing didn't think much about it. They kept muttering happily, "The scum An Zisong is dead, finally dead, it's great. There will be no more threats to Zhongzhou in the future, and everyone can rest assured."

Everyone was celebrating.

Only Jiujiu and Dijiang looked at each other and saw complexity on each other's faces.

When they returned to Zhongzhou Prefecture, they both looked like they had a lot on their mind.

Jiujiu also specifically suggested to Dijiang that he should strengthen patrols in Zhongzhou City and send people to search all the villages near the river.

Jiujiu wants to check further.

What if we can find out something?

After all, it concerns the safety of the people.

You have to be careful.

.

It's almost winter.

It's a bit cold.

On this day, Jiujiu felt a little irritable for some reason, so she went out to relax in a single piece of clothing.

She was walking down the street, thinking about something.

Suddenly, someone behind her helped her put on a thick cloak.

[Is it Brother Dijiang? ]

Jiujiu turned her head to look, but did not see Dijiang, but saw the face of a strange woman.

"Who are you?" Jiujiu was confused.

The woman smiled innocently.

"Princess, my name is Caiping. I have always admired you for being able to help the people of Zhongzhou with His Majesty the Southern Kingdom."

"I was looking forward to meeting you, but there is no chance."

"I didn't expect to run into you on the street today."

Caiping's face was filled with surprise, and her eyes narrowed with smile.

She also enthusiastically handed the warm hand warmer in her hand to Jiujiu to warm his hands.

Jiujiu didn't want it, so she used her hands to warm Jiujiu up.

Very caring.

Very warm.

Jiujiu looked at Caiping, smiled and said, "You are such a considerate and caring girl."

"Princess, you are too polite. You are the role model for women in our world." Caiping looked at Jiujiu with admiration on her face and smiled.

To be honest, Caiping performed really well today.

Jiujiu could hardly sense any malice, nor did she notice anything was wrong.

Caiping saw that Jiujiu was unhappy, so she told him a lot of funny things to cheer him up.

Jiujiu's mood did improve.

Seeing this, Cai Ping said, "Princess, as long as you are happy."

"I hope you will always be happy. If you are unhappy one day, you can call Caiping and she will appear in time to cheer you up."

"..." This sentence aroused Jiujiu's vigilance.

[This Caiping is so enthusiastic, it seems that she is just trying to win my favor, I'll summon her to meet me one day! ]

[But what is her purpose? Why does she do this? ]

【Why do you want me to summon her? 】

Just at this moment Dijiang appeared.

When Dijiang heard that Jiujiu went outside to get some fresh air with a heavy heart and was wearing very thin clothes, he took her cloak and followed her.

I didn't expect to hear Jiujiu's voice as soon as I followed her.

It seems that there is something wrong with this girl standing with Jiujiu!

Dijiang looked at Jiujiu and Miss Caiping with a smile, but in fact, he was very wary of Caiping. He even wanted to help Jiujiu find out what Caiping's purpose was.

Just do it.

Dijiang looked at Caiping and asked tentatively: "Miss, what is your name? Why are you here?"

Caiping didn't expect that she would be so lucky today. Not only did she meet the princess, but she also met Dijiang.

She was delighted.

She suppressed her smile, looked at Di Jiang, and said with a little shyness and seriousness: "Your servant Cai Ping is the daughter of Jiang Ran from Zhongzhou Prefecture."

Ginger burning?

Di Jiang knew something about Jiang Ran. Actually, he was a good official.

Although he worked under the father and son of the An family, he took advantage of his position to help many people who were harmed by the father and son. Many people who should not have died lived because of him.

Therefore, after the entire Zhongzhou Prefecture was taken down, many officials were imprisoned, except Jiang Ran.

Because there were many people in the Zhongzhou prison who stood up to speak for Jiang Ran.

Dijiang continued to let Jiang Ran serve and did not replace him.

But his daughter...

Whether it is good or not is not certain.

"Miss Jiang Caiping." Di Jiang, for Jiang Ran's sake, did not intend to argue with Jiang Caiping, but was ready to leave. But before leaving, he said, "Thank you for your cloak today."

Caiping nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked at the cloak in Dijiang's arms, and said, "Your Majesty, I will give my cloak to the princess."

"I am shy and embarrassed to ask the princess to come back, and I am unwilling to come back, so that the princess will catch a cold."

"How about you give this cloak of yours to me?"

When Jiujiu heard this, she instantly understood what Caiping's purpose was.

Ever since Brother Dijiang appeared, she has been looking at Brother Dijiang and talking to Brother Dijiang, as if he couldn't see her at all.

At this moment, she wanted the cloak in Brother Dijiang's arms again...

She came here for Brother Dijiang!

But Brother Dijiang didn’t know.

Will Dijiang give the cloak in his arms to Jiang Caiping?
