Chapter 82 Cooperation! Jiang Liuyun’s Purpose!
"My cousin is drinking wine in Qianjin Pavilion. You know my uncle. If he finds out, it will be over." Lin Zhiqing stood up and continued to grope on the bed.

"As a sister, I can't just watch him go astray. I saw him sneaking around in this room just now, so I came in."

Lin Zhiqing found a logical excuse.

Jiang Liuyun didn't think much about it and started searching on the bed: "I also realized that something was wrong with this room, so I came here."

Both of them realized that the other knew there was a secret passage in the room.

In this situation, we can't expect anyone to back out, so the two of them will most likely have to act together.

However, Lin Zhiqing searched for a long time but did not find any clues.

Jiang Liuyun quickly gave up on that bed and started looking elsewhere.

Lin Zhiqing sat up straight. There were only three objects in the room: a table, a screen, and a bed.

There was nothing wrong with the bed, and the screen didn't have any flaws after the two of them had fiddled with it.

All that was left was the table.

Jiang Liuyun also realized this and was fiddling with the table.

Lin Zhiqing waved his hand: "Prince, please move aside and don't block the light."

Jiang Liuyun moved away obediently.

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were level with the tabletop, and with the light from the window, he quickly spotted a handprint on the table:
"Prince, please move the table to the right."

Although Jiang Liuyun didn't understand, he did as he was told.

After Lin Zhiqing's continuous attempts and who knows how many times he moved it, the two of them finally heard a slight "click" sound.

Their eyes lit up and they stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that the wall behind the step-out bed slowly opened up, and there were several steps on it.

The two looked at each other, and Lin Zhiqing raised his chin, motioning Jiang Liuyun to go ahead: "I'm afraid of the dark."

Jiang Liuyun patted his chest and said, "Qing'er, don't worry, I will protect you."

As he said that, he dived into the secret passage.

Lin Zhiqing had just experienced a life-and-death crisis and was feeling a little complicated.

In Shengjing City, if an ordinary man caught his fiancée in a place like a brothel, he would probably have started a scene.

Although Jiang Liuyun is a little careless, this is also an advantage.

At least Lin Zhiqing didn't see any disgust or anger on his face. He did have deep feelings for the original owner.

Even so, Lin Zhiqing still couldn't let down his guard.

She said she was afraid of the dark and asked Jiang Liuyun to walk in front, but it was actually an excuse.

Her real purpose was not to leave her back to Jiang Liuyun.

And if she walked at the back, she would have time to escape if anything happened in the front.

Jiang Liuyun is the eldest son of Marquis Zhenyuan and has martial arts skills, so he can handle any situation.

But she was just a weak woman with no one to support her. If she was recognized and her reputation was ruined, she would be finished.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Lin Zhiqing concentrated, tightened the dagger in his hand, and followed Jiang Liuyun.

The two of them didn't walk far before they saw a door.

Jiang Liuyun walked lightly, checked and confirmed that there were no hidden weapons, then he put his ear to the door.

There is no sound.

He nodded at Lin Zhiqing, then pressed the mechanism on the wall.

As more and more light came in, the door opened completely.

Lin Zhiqing immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes, and Jiang Liuyun moved his body to block Lin Zhiqing. After the door was fully opened, the furnishings of the wing room in front of him were very different from what he had just seen.

Jiang Liuyun walked to the window and observed for a while: "We are now in the west wing of the third floor."

Lin Zhiqing nodded. The small room just now was just to hide from others. It was just a passage leading to the third floor.

"How did Jiusi get to the third floor?" Jiang Liuyun asked casually while observing.

Lin Zhiqing became highly alert: "Are you familiar with Jiusi?"

She was a little confused. Not to mention Jiang Liuyun, Lin Zhiqing never had any contact with Lin Jiusi on a daily basis, but how did he know his cousin's name and call him so familiarly?

Jiang Liuyun didn't notice Lin Zhiqing's suspicious look and carefully closed the door he had just opened. "Although I haven't seen him, he is your cousin after all. I have noticed him."

"I can even call out the names of your cousins ​​in your hometown of Bianliang, but I can't recognize their faces."

He said these words very casually. Lin Zhiqing nodded. Perhaps she was overthinking it.

She had seen Jiang Liuyun's attitude of loving the whole family. In her previous world, there were not many such honest people.

"I don't know either. Is it true that ordinary people cannot go up to the third floor of Qianjin Pavilion?" Lin Zhiqing pretended to be stupid.

If the incident with the bandits hadn't happened, it wouldn't have been impossible for her to reveal that the brothel was Second Grandpa's private property.

But she doesn't understand the situation yet, and if she tells it rashly, it might put the Lin family in a passive situation.

She now had to find Lin Jiusi before Jiang Liuyun to confirm whether he was colluding with the bandits.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's beautiful eyes flickered: "My Lord, since you have important matters to attend to, I will not hold you back. I will go find Jiusi on my own."

Jiang Liuyun frowned after hearing this: "No, that group of bandits is extremely vicious. If you run into them, you will be in danger."

If she couldn't find Lin Jiusi in advance, she wouldn't be able to separate Qianjin Pavilion from the group of bandits.

If such a big handle falls into the hands of the imperial court, the higher-ups will definitely take advantage of it to get rid of the Lin family, and it is possible that everyone will lose their heads.

At that time, no one could save her.

And now, there is still a 50% chance that she will not encounter those bandits. Even if she does, she is not a guinea pig used in experiments, so she still has a chance to fight.

"Prince, if anything happens I will call you. I will be very careful." Lin Zhiqing squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Liuyun tenderly.

Jiang Liuyun's tone softened all of a sudden: "Qing'er, it still won't work. You can only stay with me. I can't leave you alone."

After saying that, he carefully pushed open the door and motioned Lin Zhiqing to follow.

Lin Zhiqing sighed in his heart and could only keep up with Jiang Liuyun's pace.

But she was always thinking about how to escape later.

Before they could think about it for long, they just walked out of the room and took a few steps to the right when they heard a familiar voice.

"A miracle doctor? You believe the lies people tell you? If Lin Zhiqing is a miracle doctor, why didn't he cure the old marquis?"

"If my grandfather and I hadn't been out doing business all day, Lin Zhiqing would have been begging on the street long ago."

"Without me, Lin Jiusi, the Lin family would be in dire straits."

……

Jiang Liuyun paused and looked unhappy. He would not allow others to slander Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing noticed his emotional fluctuations and quickly grabbed his clothes to comfort him: "It's okay, I'll take care of the Lin family's affairs, you hurry up and catch the bandits."

Jiang Liuyun hesitated to speak, obviously thinking that Lin Jiusi was too ungrateful. He had a sister who cared so much about him, but she was still talking about Lin Zhiqing behind his back.

But when he thought that this was indeed the Lin family's business, and that the business of dealing with the remnants of the bandits was more urgent, he finally just nodded and left.

As soon as he left, Lin Zhiqing's expression changed instantly.

Lin Jiusi, what an idiot!
