"Your Highness, Jiangdu County is ten miles away." The person walking in front said with a sigh of relief.

Qi Jingmin paused when he heard this, and raised his eyes slightly.

The silent electric light penetrated through the rain curtain, illuminating half of his face.

If Baiqiao was present, I'm afraid my heart would thump.

Not only did the face of the person in front of him resemble the one she rescued into the carriage, but his demeanor also had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.If I really wanted to tell the difference, the one she saved was vaguely ruthless towards her, while the one in front of her...

Even if it was raining heavily and her clothes were dirty, she was still unshakeable and gentle as jade, and even because of the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she was a little suave and suave.

"There are still ten miles." The young man smiled, and rubbed the sword at his waist with his thumb.

The guard continued to lead the way, and said bitterly after hearing the words: "This time, I didn't expect that the Third Highness, who used to be silent in the past, sent someone to intercept and kill us on the way of disaster relief!"

Qi Jingmin remained silent.

The guard finally realized that the master was in a bad mood, paused, racked his brains and continued: "Now the food is damp and can't be used, but tens of thousands of people in the three west counties are waiting for you. He has committed a crime and will be punished." of!"

"Oh?" Qi Jingmin glanced at the man, and his smile deepened, "But I also sent someone to kill him, and his food was also destroyed. Am I also guilty?"

The guard froze, and tried hard to say: "Of course not. Your Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty and the future ruler of a country. Originally, the disaster relief of the six counties in Huainan was entrusted to His Highness. Who would have thought that before leaving, he would be assigned to a more prosperous east?" The three prefectures are given to the third highness. Your highness is also afraid that he will not be able to take on this important task, so he, that is why he made such a bad move. Your highness is for the country..."

"Heh." Qi Jingmin laughed out loud, and the guard suddenly closed his mouth.

Dahui emphasized the difference between concubine and concubine. In all dynasties, the eldest son was established as the prince since he was a child. Only the current emperor, Emperor Huisheng, delayed this matter until the youngest third prince was almost an adult, and he was never enshrined in Zen. .

It was late, rainy and cold, and the guard's upper and lower teeth were trembling slightly.

Qi Jingmin stepped past the guards, strolling in the courtyard in the pouring rain, as if there was a clear sky above his head, a flat road under his feet, and the singing of birds and insects in his ears, as if the two of them had really just communicated friendly before.

"The third child was loyal and brave when he was young, but since he lost his mother, he has become as timid as a mouse. He wants to imitate me deliberately, but he is neither fish nor fowl. Even if you give him some courage, he will not dare to kill me."

"Then, who is so audacious to intercept and kill His Highness!" The guard looked even more frightened and angry than Qi Jingmin himself.

"The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, and the third child and I went to Huainan to help the disaster. Only the second brother stayed behind in Dongdu, so he was in a hurry. After all, the prefect of Jiangdu belonged to him, so my father suspected him so I didn't let him go." He came to help the disaster." Qi Jingmin's tone was a little soft.

"The third child is also lucky. The father will temporarily distribute the three Huaidong counties to him. I am afraid that it is the second child's tricks, and I am afraid that I will replace his people in Jiangdu."

"Then, we..." the guard asked cautiously.

Qi Jingmin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"It's a pity that the second brother is in the Eastern Capital. Let him go for the time being. The most urgent thing is food. I originally planned to use the food with the team to last for a few days, but now I have to find another food. The third child is only worse than me, so it must be We will rush to collect the grain hoarded by Yan's family in Jiangdu. We will be faster than him, let him fetch water from the bamboo basket, and let the emperor see that, for the country and the people, he should not have given half of the flooded area to Qi Changting. "

"Yes! Your Highness is wise!" the guard said respectfully.

"But before that..." Qi Jingmin suddenly stopped and looked forward.

The two of them hurried on their way while talking, and they had been walking for more than half an hour, and indeed they vaguely saw Jiangdu County in the haze of mist.

The guards followed him and were overjoyed. He has made meritorious deeds in protecting the lord, and his future is sure to be bright.

He was about to announce the good news, but he saw Qi Jingmin walking into the woods beside the official road. He thought that Qi Jingmin hadn't seen the tower just now and couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to rest, so he hurriedly stopped him:

"Your Highness, we will be there soon, why not after entering the city..."

The guard stopped abruptly with a joyful voice.

The blade pierced through the body and sank into the bushes, and the guard's round eyes were full of disbelief.

Lightning flashed, he looked down at the half of Xueren passing through his chest, and then raised his eyes to look at the master he had protected all the way, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he knelt down in the mud.

Blood was dripping from under his body, but it was quickly washed away by the pouring rain.

Why?

He will not rest in peace.

"I think my whereabouts are hidden. Why can my second brother accurately find my location? A team of dozens of people is almost wiped out. How can you survive? Maybe you are a secret agent hiding in the team. You killed me on the road, so you want to gain my trust through this battle and become my confidant." The young man still had a smile on his face, looking down at the gradually cooling corpse, he said to himself.

He paused, then answered to himself:

"Of course, maybe you are just really lucky, but unfortunately, I don't believe it."

"So, you must die."

As he said that, the young man pulled out the sword from the corpse, rinsed it carefully in the rain, and put it back into the scabbard around his waist.

Before leaving, he clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to the corpse, took out everything that could identify him from the bodyguard, and walked out of the woods leisurely.

It seems that he just went to relieve his hand.

The rain seemed to be a little lighter, and the Jiangdu City Tower showed a clearer outline. Qi Jingmin raised his head and looked at the end of the official road. A stern look flashed in his eyes. pulp.

"Changting, luck is good, we have to see if you have the ability to keep this luck."

It was late in the sky, and the young man, alone, set foot on the official road to Jiangdu County, and gradually disappeared into the increasingly drowsy evening.

The continuous rain made people upset, and the inspection at the city gate was also lazy. Baiqiao very sensiblely asked the coachman to hand over a silver coin, and the carriage entered the city without hindrance.

The carriage stopped in front of the nearest medical center to the gate of the city, and Qi Changting's sword finally moved away from Baiqiao's neck.

He bowed his hands and promised again that there would be a big thank you in the future. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask her fainted maid if she needed medical treatment, and reminded Baiqiao to dispose of the blood-stained things on the carriage and take care of the driver. And the maid, in case her family suspects.

Bai Qiao responded in a low voice "undecided in shock", but in fact he howled ten thousand times in his heart--the male protagonist is so careful, and the CP is so happy!

Today, he successfully got a sense of presence in front of the male lead, and Bai Qiao left contentedly.

Yuelan's eyelids were already trembling crazily, and Qi Changting immediately bounced up as soon as he left, looking at Baiqiao almost crying, making Baiqiao not know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

The carriage disappeared into the rain curtain little by little, and the window of a hut on the second floor of the medical building had just been closed.

Inside the room, Qi Changting stood with his hands behind his back.

"Young master, your friend's injury has been healed. He may have a high fever at night. Take the medicine on time. It will be fine if he survives." The doctor's voice sounded.

"Okay, thank you very much." The boy turned around, gentle and polite.

The doctor was very helpful, and he became more enthusiastic, "Then the wound on your arm..."

"Don't worry about it, I'll do it myself."

Qi Changting still had a gentle smile on his face, but he turned sideways and made a gesture of "please" as he spoke. The doctor was a little embarrassed, and smiled sarcastically, left the wound medicine and gauze, and left the ward.

There were only two masters and servants left in the room, the smile on the corner of the young man's lips gradually faded, and finally his face remained expressionless.

"Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent." A weak and hoarse confession came from the couch, "The secret letter fell into the hands of Qi Jingmin, and the Yan family may have taken advantage of the flood to stockpile food..."

"It's okay, I expected that he would come to make trouble early in the morning, and I gave him the secret letter on purpose."

Without outsiders, Qi Changting's voice sounded a little cold, "I'm fledgling now, especially in the matter of Qianbo. I have to continue to be cowardly and incompetent, so that the two brothers can rest assured to fight."

He Cheng took a quick breath, his complexion changed several times.

He believed that Qi Changting sent the secret letter to Qi Jingmin on purpose, but was it really to curb his edge? If it was planned in the first place, why bother to find out why the Yan family and the governor of Jiangdu conspired to stir up grain prices.

It's just that he didn't expect that the second prince would come out halfway, and that idiot Qi Jingmin couldn't protect the food in the third west county, so...

He Cheng's forehead veins twitched violently, and he wanted to speak several times, but in the end he could only purse his lips and remain silent.

He knew that what His Highness had made a decision would not be changed again, and it was meaningless to ask such a question, so he could do whatever he wanted.

While he was hesitating, Qi Changting picked up the scissors on the table and cut off the sleeve of the wound on his right arm, revealing a three-inch incision. The wound was soaked in rain for a long time, the wound was dripping with blood, and the skin was faintly pale Turned out, still seeping blood.

He Cheng's face changed drastically, and he wanted to get up immediately, but was fixed on the couch by Qi Changting's glance.

After rinsing off the spirits, he tapped the mouth of the bottle with his fingertips, and the light yellow powder evenly adhered to the wound. Finally, the boy couldn't help but frowned, and let out a soft snort.

"Your Highness..."

However, Qi Changting did not give He Cheng a chance to be hypocritical, and said in a cold voice: "I still have the energy to meddle in other things. It seems that the money spent in the hospital is really wasted. Get out tomorrow and let me investigate that woman today."

He Cheng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Your Highness thinks there is something wrong with that woman?"

The corners of Qi Changting's lips rarely provoked a real smile, but he did not answer the question.

"The grove is indeed a good place to shelter from the rain. The passing carriages wiped off the turf."

After He Cheng thought about it for a while, his pale face suddenly became gloomy, "But there are no ruts left behind. No matter coming from the city or going to the city, the horse ruts can't disappear so quickly. She stayed there for at least six hours. !"

"Heh." Qi Changting chuckled, it's really been a long time since he encountered such people and things beyond his expectations.

He tied the bandage for himself, got up and walked to the window, looking at the vast night outside the window, and asked in a low voice:

"What are you waiting for?"

The author has something to say:

Qi Jingmin: If you follow Qi Changting's path, Qi Changting will have nowhere to go.

Qi Changting: It's okay, I have a small bridge to open a new path for me.

Bai Qiao: Although, but, can you stop screaming so disgustingly.
