Chapter 326 You Are Too Late
"How long have you been looking for it?" Xia Houling's deep voice could not detect any emotion, and he took an arrow and shot it steadily.

"Master Hui, it's been more than five hours."

Qu Tingqiu was helped into the Qingdi Garden by a maid, and was hit on the back of the head with a sap, and he is still in pain. Seeing Xia Houling in the courtyard, he said to the maid beside him, "I I am very weak, help me to Xiangye's side."

"Yes." The maid obediently agreed, "Young lady should not have come out with a pale face."

Qu Tingqiu smiled bitterly, and grinned his chapped lips, "It's okay, I'm worried about Mrs. Lan Shu."

Qu Tingqiu was secretly proud, even a maid couldn't tell that she was faking it, and it was worthwhile for her to comb it hard in front of the mirror.

Before approaching Xia Hou and listening to Qu Tingqiu, he heard a guard report back, "The servants have checked in the alley, and the manager of a nearby tea house is a rascal, who often invites some local ruffians to drink flower wine and call brothel girls, and robs good families. I have also done things like folk girls and married women, and some of them have been in prison. But after Mrs. Lan Shu disappeared, the shopkeeper of this family disappeared. The servant wondered if Mrs. Lan Shu would..."

"What?" Xia Houling held the bow tightly, pursed her lips into a line, and cast her cold eyes on the man.

The guard immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned pale with fright, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Your talkative servant, Mrs. Lan Shu is a lucky person, and with the protection of the Prime Minister, she will be safe and sound."

"You're late." Xia Houling's tone was cold, her coquettish Wushuang's face was expressionless, and she gently plucked down the bowstring with her fingers.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Tingqiu saw the guard who said the wrong thing fell to the ground, before he even had time to scream, a feathered arrow stuck a few inches into his forehead, and blood seeped from the arrow like it was bursting. Come, flow all the way to the wide-open eyes, die with regret.

"Ah——" Qu Tingqiu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly backed away from holding the maid's hand. This was the first time she saw a dead person, and she saw that person die in front of her own eyes.
