Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

In Shengjing City, there is no one that their master cannot kill.

Zhuangzi nodded: "I understand. Thank you Brother Hai for reminding me. I know what to do."

The guard patted Zhuangzi on the shoulder, hoping that they were just overthinking it.

Li Shuangxi and Qiao'er ran all the way, and the sound of pursuers could be heard faintly from behind.

"You two, go over there quickly and find the person."

"You two, come over here!"

"You guys, follow me, go!"

Although most of the people living in Xingshui Hutong are common people from Shengjing City, there are also wealthy merchants.

They were not qualified to live in Zhuque Street or East Street, which were places where only officials above the third rank lived, but the surroundings were quiet and tidy.

It is really not easy to find a place to hide.

There are many houses, but every house has its doors closed.

Li Shuangxi and Qiao'er pushed the back doors of several houses, and were either tied to death from the inside.

Or maybe they saw the two of them, and after hearing the sound of pursuers behind them, they slammed the door shut.

Qiao'er was so anxious that she started to cry: "Third Miss, what should we do? What should we do? Woohoo, are we going to die?"

She had no idea what was going on, or why the third girl pulled her and ran away after seeing who was inside.

Why did the guards want to kill them?

"Shut up!"

Li Shuangxi was also extremely scared. She discovered a big secret today, and she also believed that this was the reason why the old lady sent her and her aunt away that day.

Li Shuangxi suppressed her fear and quickly searched for a way out in her mind.

"There's someone here, hurry!" came the voice of a guard.

Li Shuangxi's heart was beating like a drum. She pulled Qiao'er into a narrow alley. There was a courtyard at the end of the alley, but she knew that the people inside would never open the door for them.

Several guards ran over here.

The back of the knife flashed coldly in the sunlight. Li Shuangxi saw it from afar and shuddered.

She squeezed her eyes shut, as if that would ward off the impending fate.

It was over, the two of them were really going to die here today.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never let this matter get out. Only the dead can keep a secret.

At this moment, the door next to her suddenly opened and someone pulled her in from behind.

Qiao'er was also carried and staggered into the door.

The door closed quickly, blocking out the shouts of the pursuers.

Li Shuangxi's heart was beating like thunder and she looked at the person in front of her in surprise.

"County, Princess?"

Li Shuangwan glanced at the two of them and said, "Follow me."

Li Shuangxi and his servant followed closely behind Li Shuangwan and ran quickly inside.

Soon, there was a knock on the door: "Open the door, open the door, the government is investigating a case, open the door!"

Li Shuangxi looked back while running.

Under the eaves, there was a man sitting, dressed in gorgeous clothes without a single wrinkle.

Precious and out of reach.

Li Shuangxi could hardly take her eyes away.

This was the Ninth Prince of Daliang, a man of noble status and extraordinary handsomeness. During the days she was in the Duke's Mansion, she could only see his back from afar.

The moment Li Shuangwan pulled people into the house, the courtyard door was kicked open by someone.

"Go in and search them all!"

Gu Xingyan was sitting lazily on a chair under the eaves at the moment. He seemed to have just heard the noise and opened his eyelids slightly to look.

Shu Wenbo and Liang Tianyou also came out of the house when they heard the noise.

Mo Lin's injuries had healed completely, and he had returned to serve Gu Xingyan. He saw those people dared to kick the door open.

He drew out his knife in a flash and said, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the residence of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"Nine, Your Highness the Ninth Prince?" Zhuangzi was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect to meet the Ninth Prince of Daliang here.

Gu Xingyan was holding a snow-white fox in his arms. He had hunted it on the way to Shengjing City and was planning to give it to Yanyan as a pet after he had trained it. His slender fingers were gently stroking the fox's white fur.

The white fox seemed to be enjoying it extremely. It half-closed its eyes, and when it heard the noise, it just glanced at them lazily, then curled up in Gu Xingyan's arms again.

Gu Xingyan raised his eyelids and glanced at them lightly.

Shu Wenbo came over and looked at the people holding knives and looking ferocious. His face darkened and he frowned and asked, "Which government office are you from? This is the new house bought by His Highness the Ninth Prince of Daliang. Who allowed you to break in?"

Zhuangzi saw this and bowed his head and smiled apologetically: "So it's the Ninth Prince of Daliang. Please forgive us, Your Highness. We came here to hunt down a fugitive. We didn't know this was your residence. We apologize for the offense."

"Fugitive?" Gu Xingyan said coldly, "Who are you chasing?"

"Your Highness, they are two girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, a master and a servant. The master is wearing a light pink dress, and the maid is wearing a light blue dress. I wonder if Your Highness the Ninth Prince has seen them?"

"Heh." Gu Xingyan chuckled and patted the white fox's tail.

The white fox bared its fangs at the guards, suddenly arched its body, and pounced straight towards Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi was so frightened that he took several steps back and finally fell to the ground.

The attendants hurriedly helped Zhuangzi up.

Gu Xingyan brushed off the hem of his clothes that were wrinkled by the white fox and said, "When will it be your turn to search my courtyard?"

His tone was cold, but his eyes were sharp.

Zhuangzi and others did not dare to act rashly and could only bow their heads and apologize.

Li Shuangxi held her breath and concentrated behind the door, but her eyes unconsciously fell on the man sitting lazily on the chair.

He only said those one sentence, but it already made the guards feel oppressed.

if……

Qiao'er's eyes were full of fear, and her hands were held tightly by Li Shuangxi.

Li Shuangwan thought that Li Shuangxi was still afraid, so he patted her gently and nodded slightly at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.

Li Shuangxi gave her a forced smile.

With His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince saving her, she no longer had to worry.

Outside the house, Gu Xingyan slowly raised his head, his eyes like ice blades sweeping over everyone present: "Everyone, get out of here."

His voice was not loud, but to the ears of Zhuangzi and others, it sounded like a mountain pressing down on their heads and was full of pressure.

In the hot summer, several people couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

Liang Tianyou rushed in front of them and said, "What are you doing? Get out of here! Do you want us, the Ninth Prince, to ask your Emperor Jingzhang, or your Crown Prince? Is this how you treat guests in Northern Jin?"

"We will leave right away. Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I am sorry. I am sorry for offending you."

Zhuangzi hurriedly led the guards to retreat, but was tripped by a small stone behind him and fell to the ground.

Several guards quickly carried him back.

Until they retreated to the gate of the courtyard, everyone was still bowing and apologizing.

"Get out!" Liang Tianyou slammed the gate shut.

When they got outside, a guard asked with a sad face, "Brother Zhuang, what should we do now? We clearly saw the two of them being dragged in by the people inside."
