Chapter 173
The Qianjin Pawn Shop opened in a corner of Qiansha City.

It looks like a very ordinary shop, piled with some antique objects that outsiders can't understand.

Something like that.

Qiqi walked in, glanced over the counter, but didn't make a sound.

The shopkeeper raised his head when he heard footsteps, saw her appearance and posture, and asked, "Does the girl want to be a thing?"

She walked over, took out the pawn ticket in her arms, and said in a low voice, "Be this."

The shopkeeper reached out to pick it up, looked at it carefully, his eyes flashed brightly, and said with a smile: "Sometimes this thing is pawned by the girl, but now the thing has already been sold, so I can only pay for it with silver."

She nodded.

Soon, the shopkeeper took out a stack of banknotes from the drawer, counted them and handed them to her, and said with a smile, "You count."

No need to count, Qiqi also knows how much silver is.

She reached out to take it and put it in her bosom, without saying a word, she went out the door.

This was agreed long ago.

The pawn ticket is the stub, and she can take 1000 taels of silver directly from the pawnshop with the pawn ticket.

So she doesn't have to order at all.

When King Xiaoyang explained it, it seemed that the Qianjin Pawn Shop was also related to him.

Will not make things difficult for her.

With money, she felt much more at ease.

First I bought some clothes to change, then I ate a simple meal, and found a clean inn to rest for the night.

For these days, she slept in the desert with all her clothes together, and she was exhausted already.

After finally taking a hot bath to remove the dust from her body, she lay comfortably on the clean bed.

But did not fall asleep.

Logically, she should be very sleepy, but she didn't know why, but she was very sober.

Her mind was full of the child's babbling and babbling, which caused her heart to beat uncomfortably, and her eyes were clouded with water vapor.

She shook her head, not thinking about the child far away in the sea of ​​sand, and slowly closed her eyes.

Close your eyes, Shino's voice is suddenly clear.

She heard light footsteps approaching her door.

Her eyelids trembled, and she clenched the short knife in her hand tightly.

There seemed to be more than one person outside the door.

One person said: "You just set fire to this room. When she is smothered to death in it, it's not too late for us to splash water."

Another person said, "Are you sure she is Jiang Qiqi?"

"Hush...it's definitely not wrong. The superiors have already explained that as long as someone takes a pawn ticket to exchange for silver, regardless of their gender, they will all exchange it. Except for her, who else..." It was the person who spoke earlier.

"But...the master's life and death are uncertain, so we harm his wife and children, isn't it too unreasonable..."

"Are you so afraid, when we become the marquis of ten thousand households and get one hundred thousand gold, would you care about such a broken deal in a pawn shop?"

There are only two voices back and forth, and there must be only these two people standing outside the door.

She didn't know how these two people found the inn, but she was sure that they betrayed the owner.

This owner is very likely to be King Xiaoyang.

King Xiaoyang.

She silently recited three words in her heart, and suddenly filled with infinite emotions.

He counted all the strategies, and he must not have counted the result today.

One day, what he personally confessed almost killed his wife with his own hands.

With a flash in her eyes, she turned over and walked quietly to the door.

The two at the door were still talking.

The person who came up with the idea said: "You set the fire here and wait. I will go to the City Lord's Mansion and report to Chief Xue. At that time, we can... haha."

After finishing speaking, there was the sound of "thump, thump, thump" going downstairs.

The night was silent, and there was only one person left at the door.

Through the door panel, Qiqi can already see his vague silhouette.

He was holding something in his hand, and he hesitated to approach it.

She quickly opened the door.

The door opened, revealing the person standing at the door.

It turned out to be a young boy.

He was holding a jar of kerosene in his hand, which smelled very strong.

With a flash in her eyes, Qiqi scolded, "What do you want to do?!"

The little servant was startled, and the kerosene jar splashed towards Qiqi with a "wow", and shouted loudly: "Arrest... Xiaoyang King..."

As he shouted, he rushed downstairs, the sound of stepping on the stairs, crackling.

Most of the upstairs and downstairs were awakened by him.

Someone shouted in the house: "It's the middle of the night, what's the sound..."

Some people lit candles in the room.

In the chaos, the shopkeeper on duty downstairs lit a lantern and asked, "What's going on..."

Qiqi dodges the kerosene, looks at the running boy, remembers what that person said before, and can't help frowning.

Frowning, his eyes inadvertently saw the torch that fell on the ground.

A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she picked up the fire folder, and threw it towards the door panel with a "hoo".

The door panel ignited with a "swish", and immediately became a raging flame.

The room she lived in was immediately engulfed in flames.

"The water is gone... the water is gone..." Someone screamed.

More and more people saw the flames and shouted for help.

She looked at the chaos in the building with cold eyes, hurried down the stairs, and ran out of the inn.

Looking back, the room on the second floor had long been engulfed in flames.

With a flash of her eyes, she fled away.

He didn't dare to stay in an inn or restaurant anymore, so he only chose a secluded house to settle down.

There was no one in the yard, and a few prickly pears were blooming red flowers.

She jumped off the courtyard wall, stood in the patio, and looked around.

Indeed no one.

Under the eaves of the porch, a spider has formed a large web and is waiting for its prey.There are no lights in the small hall and wing rooms, as if no one has lived there for a long time.

She walked into the small hall along the corridor eaves.

I found a candle and lit it.

The yard is fairly tidy, although there are dust and cobwebs, it is not bad.

At least, you don't have to worry about someone standing at her door in the middle of the night, trying to kill her.

She looked around carefully, then went out of the small hall, and closed the door again.

This time, after returning to the small hall, he fell asleep on the wooden chair.

I slept soundly.

It is actually more practical than in the inn.

It was dark and sweet, and there was a shadow of a son in the dream.

The son was born white and fat, smiling and waving his hands at her.

She laughed.

Smiling, he opened his eyes.

It was broad daylight.

Outside the window, there is skylight projected in, spilled on the floor, reflecting the pattern of the pane.

She looked at it, felt at ease, and stood up.

Standing up, he froze.

Just because, on another wooden chair beside her, a person was sleeping.

This man has a shaved face, a high nose, and is very attractive.

It should be said that it is beautiful.

However, although he fell asleep, he also revealed a serious and rigid atmosphere.

She was so startled that she couldn't help jumping wildly.

After sleeping like this all night, if this person hurt her mind, she would not even know how he died.

Fortunately, this person was just sleeping next to her, and did not move extraneously.

However, she asked herself that she was not bad at skills, why did she not feel this man came into the yard in the middle of the night and went to sleep next to her?
Did she sleep here first, or did he sleep here first?

No matter which one came first, she was too negligent.

She was on guard all over, and approached the strange man step by step.

Walking all the way to his side, standing in front of him, then lowered her head and stared at his eyebrows.

His eyebrows and eyes are very beautiful.

She didn't know what he looked like, but he was really good-looking.

Good to see, maybe it can be compared with King Xiaoyang and King Guangdu.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but startled.

The person who fell asleep on the wooden chair has not yet woken up.

It doesn't change because of her doubts.

He was still half lying on his stomach, with his face on his side and his arm resting on his arms, silently.

She finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Hello?"

If this person is strong in martial arts, he would have sensed her approach a long time ago, so why hasn't he reacted yet.

The man didn't answer her.

She reached out and poked him: "Hello?"

The man still ignored her.

This is really strange.

Could it be that this person fell asleep?
She slapped the wooden chair and said loudly, "Hello?"

The man remained silent.

She was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head to check him, only to see that his face was pale and his lips were weak.

She quickly reached out to test his breath.

But found...

His breath was weak and barely smelled.

died?

Or dying!

In this way, even she herself could not confirm whether she arrived first last night or he arrived first.

At this moment, she no longer has to worry about this matter.

A dead person can't do anything to her.

She relaxed, stopped looking at the man's face, and walked straight to the door.

She won't live here forever, she needs to replenish her energy and leave Qiansha City as soon as possible.

The people here are too sensitive to Princess Xiaoyang, whoever wants her life.

In exchange for ten thousand households, one hundred thousand gold.

She can't sit still.

She strode towards the door.

Walking to the door, there was a faint voice behind him.

"Water... water..."

When a person is about to die, it becomes so difficult to drink water.

She stopped and didn't look back.

"King Xiaoyang...water..."

She sensitively caught the words Xiaoyang Wang, and couldn't help frowning.

This person was injured, does it have something to do with King Xiaoyang?

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she couldn't help running back quickly, staring at the man's pale face, and said eagerly: "Have you seen King Xiaoyang? Where did you see him?"

The man was in a coma and could not answer her.

Her eyes flickered, she stared at the man's closed eyes, and stomped her feet fiercely.

Finally decided to heal the man.

She needs news about King Xiaoyang, lots and lots of news.

It was enough for her to find him and tell him that they had twin children, and the children were very good, but she was so incompetent that she lost one.

She wanted to tell him that Xiaoyang City was captured by someone, and she fostered the child with Dongfangxiu and came to find him alone.

She wants to say a lot, but the premise is to find King Xiaoyang.

She can't find it.

The unconscious man in front of her is very likely to be the fulcrum for her to find someone.

"Hey, are you awake?" She walked over and shook the man's arm, trying to wake him up.

But he said in a daze, "Water...water...drink water..."

She had no choice but to let him go and find water.

After finally finding clean well water, he filled a broken bowl that no one was using and handed it to his lips.

He plunged into the bowl with a fierce force, and drank it in big gulps.

After drinking for a long time, I didn't open my eyes, I just yelled "Hot...so hot..."

She stretched out her hand to test it out, only to find that her forehead, which was cold just now, was already burning like fire.

She was stunned.

In this Qiansha City, how could she save a strange man even if she herself was in danger.

Is it just because he is very likely to know about King Xiaoyang?
she does not know.

She stood in the small hall, looked at the harsh sunlight outside, the blue sky, and the prickly pear flowers in the garden, and sighed.

No matter how many doctors there are in Qiansha City, she can find many people.

But now, she has a special status, how can she invite someone?
One hundred thousand gold, the power of ten thousand households, is really too great.
