Chapter 118

  After everything was ready, Little Phoenix finally had to leave Tokyo for Xiangyang.

  But all this, children have to stay in Beijing, making her a bit sentimental.

  Finally, Xiao He couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Miss, why don't you just hurry up and settle the outside matters so you can come back?"

  Xiao Feng was really tempted to kneel down to Xiao He, "Xiao He, please, don't make it sound so simple, okay?" This matter is probably not simple at all.

  Xiaohe said innocently: "But every time you solve things, Miss, it seems so simple."

  Luk Siu Fung: This is a huge misunderstanding!

  "What's wrong with you? You're not in charge of solving problems, are you really that idle?"

  Xiaohe nodded, "Anyway, I don't think Miss has much trouble dealing with things."

  Lu Xiao Feng said seriously: "Xiao He, your point of view is wrong. In fact, every time I do something, it's not that easy for Miss of your household. Even if it looks easy, it's because I have worked hard before."

  "In this world, it's impossible for anyone to gain something without giving anything in return." In my previous life, I lived as a protector of others from the age of three.

  While other kids were wearing flower skirts, eating lollipops and playing with mud, I was practicing knife skills and listening to my ancestors and older siblings telling stories about the cases they had handled.

  As I grew older, there were more things that I had to learn, no matter what my previous ideals were, in the end I only had this one profession of being a police officer.

  Because the profession of forensic medicine can stay in school for a longer time, I reported this pit father's major without hesitation. As a result, I finished the course of forensic medicine in the shortest time in order to end the time of being tortured in school as soon as possible, which is simply against my wishes!

  Spending all day dealing with corpses, it's gotten to the point where everyone avoids me... just thinking about it brings tears.

  After sister explained that this would affect her lifelong major event, the old men in the family finally reluctantly agreed to help sister switch jobs.

  First changed from forensic doctor to criminal police officer - it turns out that being taught various detective methods from a young age was indeed malicious!

  Reassigned from criminal police to traffic police - a child with a mother is a treasure, and grandmothers are even more creditworthy. Anyway, the old men's bottom line cannot leave the police force.

  Man proposes, God disposes. When she was working hard to pursue her ideal life, heaven played a big joke on her and threw her into this time and space, still letting her entangle with the royal family.

  It's really "one's whole life is predetermined, and there's no room for personal choice"!

  "Miss——" What's wrong with you? Your expression looks a bit heavy.

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled, as if he had also swept away the heavy past, and said: "Nothing." She will try to make herself live a simpler life, after all, it's fun to fight against the sky.

  Xiaohe also laughed along with them.

  Lu Xiaofeng took a last look at the gate of Taishi Mansion and finally let down the carriage curtain.

  Xiaohe said to Feng Si who was in a hurry: "Let's go."

  The horse carriage finally started slowly and headed towards the city gate.

  Yan Dong rode a horse and guarded beside the car, following slowly but steadily.

  Little Phoenix Maiden leaned on the small table in the carriage, somewhat nostalgically saying: "Suddenly without those two little guys by my side, I'm really not used to it, always feeling like something's missing."

  Xiaohe nodded silently, she had the same feeling too.

  Feng Si's family also nodded silently along with him.

  "Xiaohe, help me find something to do, it's too boring just sitting in the car doing nothing."

  "Miss, you should go to sleep."

  Lu Xiaofeng covered his face, "Xiaohe, I couldn't sleep, okay?"

  "Reading?"

  "How can this carriage be so bumpy?"

  "That servant girl is helpless." Xiao He suddenly thought of something again, "Why don't you have some snacks and tea, miss?"

  "Xiaohe——" Lu Xiaofeng leaned on the small table.

  At the sight of their own young lady's hopeless appearance, Xiao He and Feng Si's family exchanged a glance, and suddenly they couldn't help but cover their lips and laugh.

  Even Yan's winter on horseback couldn't help but curve his lips.

  The first few days they traveled smoothly, but on that day when they passed through a small town, something went wrong.

  It's not a big deal, but someone beat up a father and daughter on the street, yet no one dared to intervene.

  "A harsh winter."

  "Yes."

  The severe winter jumped past, and with a few swift moves, the gang of people who beat him up were cleaned up.

  The father and daughter who were singing for a living were naturally saved as well.

  Originally, things should have ended like this, but the guy who was beaten happened to be a local tyrant - things got a bit more complicated.

  The scoundrel who beat people actually made a big deal out of it and went to the county government, strongly demanding that the county official punish Little Phoenix and her entourage.

  Little Phoenix Maiden, now the defendant, decided to take a look at the county yamen. She first transformed herself into the victim, and it would be more convincing if she were to gather people to come along, wouldn't it?

  Just then, as soon as she went up to the hall, she had to kowtow to the county official. So, Little Phoenix didn't bother with courtesy and readily showed the waist card of the Grand Preceptor's mansion.

  The old master's sign is quite useful, especially when pretending to be a tiger.

  In comparison, the backstage was more solid and reliable on Xiaofeng's side. The county official, who was a turncoat, naturally turned to them without hesitation and severely reprimanded the young master.

  Little Phoenix Maiden personally thinks that the small spray bottle sprayed really generously, and it's fortunate that the county official's desk and the kneeling victim on the ground have some distance between them. If not, this baptism would be quite a sight to behold!

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all because of me being blind to the small things..." The young master chased out from the county government office, repeatedly apologizing.

  Lu Xiaofeng was too lazy to bother with him.

  Yan Dong directly moved the knife in his hand forward a bit, blocking that person's approach. "Stay a little further away from my family's young lady."

  "Yes, yes, little one, go a bit further away."

  Xiao He couldn't help but chime in, "A bit further away." What a scoundrel, seeing the young lady's beauty and immediately becoming infatuated, isn't he afraid that her husband will get angry and slap him with his paw?

  Uh... She shouldn't have learned from Miss, and I'm sorry to my brother-in-law.

  Yan Dong said with a smirk, "Are you not comfortable enough from the beating and want some more?" He glanced at the spoiled brat's buttocks, implying that he should have been the one to wield the stick earlier, which would have definitely left him too weak to come and flirt with the adults again.

  "Wait." Just as the young master was about to leave in boredom, Little Phoenix suddenly called out to stop him.

  At that moment, he turned around with a surprised expression on his face, "Miss——"

  "Bring thirty taels of silver."

  "Alright." Niangzi immediately took out thirty taels of silver from her silver bag and presented them.

  He really is a rich second generation, carrying a large amount of cash on him. It's cash, not checks or silver notes.

  Big shot, leave your money behind, and I won't be friends with you anymore.

  Let Yan Dong take the money, and Xiao Feng suddenly said coldly: "Now you can get out of here."

  Xiaohe strongly identifies with this "滚" (get out) used by his own young lady.

  The silk fabric also had no choice but to "roll" away.

  "In this severe winter, take these silver coins and give them to that singing father-daughter duo, and have them leave this place as well."

  "Yes."

  "Wait, let them leave with us, so as to avoid trouble."

  "Yes."

  Xiao Feng's daughter thus took advantage of the opportunity to swindle a wealthy young master out of his ill-gotten gains and did a good deed in passing, then continued on her way to Xiangyang.

  When entering Xiangyang City, Xiao He rode in a carriage, Little Phoenix disguised as a man and rode in on horseback, and Yan Dong walked in alone.

  They entered the city in three batches, to ensure absolute safety.

  However, after entering the city, it seems that there is nothing special, no feeling of wind and rain, is this the calm before the storm?

  After entering the city in the severe winter, after confirming that Lu Xiaofeng and others were settled, he went to find friends from the rivers and lakes to inquire about news.

  "Nothing?"

  The severe winter's complexion didn't look good either, but he still repeated it once more, "No."

  Lu Xiaofeng's expression was slightly solemn, "No, this is very abnormal."

  Yan Dong nodded slowly, he also felt that something was not right. Logically speaking, whether it was Bai Yutang or Zhan Zhao, as long as they arrived in Xiangyang City, they would definitely go to inquire about news from their Jianghu friends, so how could they suddenly disappear without a trace?

  "Anything out of the ordinary is a monster, definitely not normal." Lu Xiao Feng clenched his fists tightly, but the problem was that she had no idea what they were facing right now.

  This is what's most frustrating.

  What should we start with now?

  Yan Dong looks at Lu Xiao Feng.

  Xiaohe is also looking at his own miss.

  Lu Xiaofeng glared, "What are you looking at? I'm not omnipotent, and solutions need to be thought out slowly."

  "Miss, you'd better think quickly."

  "My mind is all muddled now, can't think it through."

  "Miss, this is no time for joking, please be serious, it's about the safety of our family's master."

  Lu Xiaofeng tapped his hand on the table, pondering: "Can't be impatient, especially at times like these. I don't believe Xianzhuang and Bai Yutang wouldn't have left any clues..."

  Yan Dong nodded in agreement with this speculation.

  Xiao He timely stopped speaking and did not disturb Miss Zhen as she pondered the case and analyzed the events.

  It was unknown how much time had passed when Lu Xiaofeng spoke again: "Yan Dong."

  "Belonging to the lower class."

  "Tomorrow, let's go out and take a stroll. The rivers and lakes people have no news, perhaps the common people will know something."

  "Yes."

  Xiaohe served Miss washing and resting when she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, can you really get news about Master Gou and the others?"

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said: "Your family's young lady, I'm now treating a dead horse as if it were alive, taking one step at a time, let's talk about it when we get there."

  Xiaohe: "......" Miss, you're being irresponsible now. If Master hears you talk like that, he'll definitely get hurt.

  While they were chatting at night, the imperial cat and the brocade mouse who were locked in the same place were also communicating.

  "Do you think she will come?"

  Zhan Zhao nodded silently.

  "What is she doing running around in this mess?"

  Zhan Zhao broke his silence and replied with a sentence: "When you see her, you might as well ask her in person."

  "Xiao Mao, don't think that just because Wu Ye can't deal with you now, you can talk nonsense."

  "How?"

  "Hey, I've discovered that you've learned from her and become bad too." It's really a case of "near ink, black as soot". This silly cat wasn't like this before, it was all because of Liu Mei's sharp-tongued guy.

  Zhan Zhao looked around again at the place where they were trapped, "Let's think of a way out."

  "What's the point of going out? Both of us have been poisoned, and if we go out, it's likely that we'll do something uncontrollable and wrong, just like that person said. It's better to be honest and stay locked up here, so as not to harm others."

  "We have to go out."

  "Smelly cat, isn't it hard?"

  "No matter how difficult it is, we must find a way."

  “……”
