daughter in power

Chapter 172

Qiqi did not expect that leaving Xiaoyang City would come so suddenly.

Suddenly, she was alone.

It is reasonable to not rest assured that the child is handed over to Dongfang Xiu.

But she didn't know why, she just believed in this person, as long as he promised, he would do it.

Out of the city, the summer light is bright.

The reckless sand sea shakes people's eyes sorely.

The soldiers guarding the city gate had changed long ago, and she felt that the people standing here now looked very unfamiliar.

Dongfang Xiu didn't come to see him off.

She is a wanted criminal, if she is sent off by Dongfang Xiu, it will be difficult for her not to attract attention.

So, she went out of town alone.

The child was left in Xiaoyang Palace, and Chunlan was quietly sent away.

According to Dong Fangxiu's intention, a notice for the recruitment of nanny will be widely distributed later, and then Chunlan will be recruited in a different identity.

In this way, the child and Chunlan will be safe.

Dongfangxiu was very thoughtful and relieved her of many worries.

She stood at the gate of the city, holding the newly-applied household registration documents, with a faint sadness on her brows.

The road ahead is confusing, but fortunately, it is predictable.

At least, without dying.

She lowered her head, looked at the unfamiliar name on her hand, and sighed slightly.

Looking back, Xiaoyang City is like a mirage in the sandy sea, so beautiful that it is unreal.

Her eyes flickered, she silently said goodbye to Xia Bing and Xia Xue in her heart, and then ran into the desert.

Once there, there will be thousands of miles of yellow sand.

The wind howls.

On a June day, the desert at night is still as cold as ice.

She huddled behind the rock, staring at the campfire in a daze.

"Your voice is exactly like hers."

"Your stature is exactly the same as hers."

"He really looks like Feng Qiqi."

Countless voices circled and circled in her mind, gradually deepening her doubts.

She blinked and looked up at the distant night sky, where there was only one star, which was flickering and flickering, and far away.

Going to Qiansha City is not smooth.

She suffered a lot and almost lost her way.

She didn't even know how she got around in the end.

It seemed that it was the voice hidden deep in her soul that had been guiding her to judge.

Guide her on the right path.

Seven or eight days later, she encountered a caravan.

There were about thirty people in the caravan, all of them were going to Xiaoyang City.

They went from Persia to Flowing Fire City the year before last, and only returned this year.

On the way, a person heard that she was going to Qiansha City and agreed to lead her the way, but the reward was five hundred gold.

Five hundred gold is worth this man's three years of hard work.

Three years back and forth, to Persia, whether the team leader can give him five hundred gold or not is another matter.

He led the way for her in this way, and turned back to Xiaoyang City when he arrived at Qiansha City, just in time to join the caravan and leave together.

It's a good deal.

Qiqi agreed.

The Persian asked her to check with the household registration documents and confirmed her name and address, so she set off on the road with confidence.

The two of them left the caravan and went to Qiansha City, it was very fast.

Because someone who was familiar with the path led the way, Qiqi did not take detours and suffered much.

Seeing that she had gone for half a month and would arrive at Qiansha City in two days, she was extremely happy.

Sleeping under the sandstone in the evening, I couldn't help but say a few more words to the Persian.

To say a few more words, it is inevitable to talk about the changes in Xiaoyang City.

The Persian said: "The current Great Xia Kingdom is too chaotic. The captain said that we will not come to Great Xia Kingdom to do business again for at least five years."

This person's Daxia official speech is very rude, but Qiqi can also understand what he means.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile: "Da Xia has just changed its monarch, so there will naturally be new policies. It is indeed not suitable for you to do business in the past few years."

There is no ambiguity in this sentence.

But when the Persian heard it, he suddenly asked, "Are you a noble from the Great Xia Kingdom?"

The word "noble" is clearly pronounced.

She subconsciously shook her head: "No..." Before she could finish her sentence, the Persian drew his sword and slashed at him.

Surprisingly, he said, "You are Princess Xiaoyang Jiang Qiqi?"

Qiqi didn't know what she said wrong, she actually exposed her identity, she backed away quickly to avoid the dagger, and scolded: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

The Persian laughed: "You Daxia have a saying that you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. When I take your head to Qiansha City, someone will identify it for me."

As he spoke, he killed without hesitation.

Qiqi hastily backed away: "Five hundred gold is not a small sum, aren't you afraid you won't get it?"

"Haha..." The Persian laughed loudly: "If I kill you, I can get all the money on you. If you are Jiang Qiqi, I can still become the Marquis of Wanhu..."

It is indeed suspicious that a strange woman went from Xiaoyang City to Qiansha City alone.

But Qiqi had been wearing a veil all the way, and she was very reticent. Today, she just said a word about the court's new policy, and he saw the clues?
Is it too coincidental?
The Persian slashed quickly with his dagger, and raised his voice to dispel doubts: "Ordinary woman, who would have such an opinion as you. However, boasting about the prosperous empire of the Great Xia and the coming of all nations will never agree with the views of foreigners. Only the nobles of the Great Xia... ..."

He didn't continue to explain, but Qiqi already understood.

Only the nobles of Great Xia would consider the situation from the perspective of the country.

Ordinary people, who are used to looking down on Persian caravans, would talk about Daxia's political affairs with Persians?
Not to agree with the Persian point of view.

A noble woman who came out of Xiaoyang City?
Apart from Jiang Qiqi, I really couldn't find anyone else.

Qiqi sneered, it really happened that the house was leaking and it was raining all night, and the boat was late and the wind was blowing.

She came from Xiaoyang City, she was unlucky enough.

This Persian actually wanted to kill her and take her property for himself, and offered her head as a reward.

One hundred thousand gold and ten thousand households are enough to turn many good people with conscience into disgusting gangsters.

The Persian's martial arts are not very good, they are more than enough to deal with a weak woman, but they are still far from her.

She knocked off his dagger with one palm, and scolded: "Get out."

The Persian wanted to attack again, but she lost her patience and stabbed the Persian's arm with her sword.

The Persians paled in horror.

But she said coldly again: "Get out."

This time, the Persian was not stupid, picked up the dagger and fled like flying.

The direction of escape is Qiansha City.

He has better feet than her, so he went to Qiansha City first, and he didn't know what was waiting for her.

With a flash in her eyes, anger welled up in her heart, and she threw a sword, which hit the back of his heart.

The Persian fell limply, and the yellow sand was wet with blood.

Killed.

This is not the first time she has killed someone.

But it was the first time he was so startled.

What frightened her was not her killing action, but her feeling when killing.

The moment she threw the dagger, her fingers were so hot that she was almost on fire.

The mood is strangely peaceful.

She could even figure out how many steps he ran, how much his heart beat, how strong the wind was, and how much strength he used, and she could kill him with a sword.

After a sword strike, how much his blood can flow, how long it lasts, and even how much yellow sand it wets.

Those precise calculations didn't require thinking at all, as if someone had pre-installed the program in her mind, and it would start automatically as soon as the button was pressed.

However, she does not remember that she has learned these.

In the small county of Lizhou Prefecture, can there be such a powerful master who can teach her these things?
She thought that Jiang Maoyou and Mrs. Jiang could at most teach her water control and accounting, and they really couldn't teach her any more.

But she doesn't know anything about water control, and she doesn't know anything about accounting.

Jiang Maoyou and Mrs. Jiang probably have never heard of what she is good at.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She left the Persian's body alone.

Because there is no need to collect the corpse, it seems that she is hypocritical.

Have you ever seen a murderer collect the body of the victim?
Unless she wants to escape legal sanctions.

Obviously, Mangmang Huangsha is the best cemetery, enough to collect anyone's bones.

There is no law against her.

Because no one will go into the depths of the desert to enforce the law.

Goodbye, he is just a dead bone buried under the yellow sand.

She gently closed her eyes, and the wind blew across her cheeks along the direction it came from, blowing further away.

It's a two-day journey to Qiansha City.

When she arrived at Qiansha City, she was extremely thirsty.

I found a nearby tea stall, bought a bowl of tea, drank it down in one gulp, and still felt my lips were chapped and uncomfortable.

She sat down, poured three bowls of water one after another, and finally felt comfortable.

Looking from a distance, the gate of Qiansha City was still far away, so she got up, paid the tea money and left.

The old tea seller looked at her again and again.

A strange lone woman will inevitably attract more attention.

She doesn't care.

When they reached the city gate, the number of people entering the city gradually increased.

In twos and threes, with ashen complexions, they are all nearby herdsmen.

Qiqi handed in the household registration paperwork, the guards checked it carefully, and asked coldly, "Qi Shuang?"

She nodded.

"From Xiaoyang City?"

She nodded.

"What are you doing in Qiansha City?"

She lowered her head and answered in a low voice, "Going to the funeral."

This was the excuse Dongfang Xiu gave her. No matter where she was going, she only said that she was going to the funeral and nothing else.

The guard looked her up and down, saw that she was wearing a white veil and white clothes, frowned and said: "Take off the veil."

She took off her veil, the guard looked at it carefully and waved: "Let's go."

With a cold expression on her face, she followed the flow of people with her burden on her back.

She has long been simple and easy to look at, not to mention that after the wind, sand and sun, she is very different from the self in the ink painting.

She didn't believe that the guards could recognize her.

When entering the city, first turn into a remote street.

She is not familiar with this place, but she is by no means unfamiliar.

King Xiaoyang once took her to enjoy the scenery.

Following her memory, she went all the way to the Xiaoyang Palace in Qiansha City, walking in a leisurely manner.

There are no arrest warrants in the city.

Maybe it was Dongfang Xiu's handwriting.

She is very happy.

Looking along the way, Qiansha City is more prosperous than Xiaoyang City, and the people here seem to be less affected.

Everything is still the same as before.

She was relieved and soon arrived at Prince Xiaoyang's mansion.

Many people in the imperial court did not know that Xiaoyang City was hidden in the vast desert.

I only thought that Qiansha City was the final destination.

Therefore, King Xiaoyang built the palace here very luxuriously.

Luxurious enough to confuse anyone.

For example, in the arrest of Xiaoyang City, if Wu Shixun hadn't led the way, I'm afraid no one would have discovered the silent city in the sea of ​​sand.

When I arrived at the palace, there were many guards standing outside the gate, and they didn't look different.

She approached quietly, but she didn't see the arrest warrant posted on the courtyard wall, but saw a notice.

On the notice, it described in detail the sudden death of the city lord, Dongfang Xiu, the interim lord of the city, was performing a mission in Xiaoyang City, and now everything in the city is under the jurisdiction of General Xue.

It's just a temporary appointment document.

With her mind firmly set, she no longer entered the palace, but turned around and went to a pawn shop in the city to exchange money.

The silver was left by King Xiaoyang.

The Qianjin Pawn Shop was also designated by King Xiaoyang at the beginning.

She once asked him why he couldn't go to the bank to exchange.

He doesn't explain much.

Only now did I realize that his plans were far-reaching.

Her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head silently.

Recalling the past, the fingers are gentle.

Looking back, things are different, how much worry?
