Chapter 765: Hashirimizu
Chapter 765 Walking Water
Sang Qi silently sneaked into the Captain's Mansion according to Chu Nanzhi's instructions.
Although Ji Rongheng's status is prominent, there are not many people in the house, and because he has just arrived in office, he is in charge of the military all day long, and even the servants are not arranged in time in the future, and there are only four junior servants in the army to look after the house.
Shortly after nightfall, Sang Qi was hiding in the mansion when she saw a group of people sneaking into the courtyard, and then began to bring dry firewood from various places and went straight to the main courtyard where Ji Rongheng lived.
Not long after, the raging fire burned.
Sang Qi immediately realized that these people wanted to burn the sleeping Ji Rongheng to death in the courtyard.
Before the fire spread, she rushed into the inner hall of the main courtyard. Thick smoke was already billowing everywhere, but the room was still snoring like thunder.
Sang Qi shook her head angrily: "It's really a big heart, this life is almost gone, but you still sleep like a dead pig."
She carefully guarded her surroundings, and rushed straight to the couch, but she smelled a disgusting smell of alcohol.
"Great governor?"
Sang Qi called several times, but Ji Rongheng lay on the bed without any response.
Having no other choice, she had no choice but to lift him up and rushed out of the courtyard.
Accidentally ran into an arson servant rushing towards this side, Sang Qi quickly put down Ji Rongheng who was sleeping like mud, and before the man could cry out, he threw him to the ground, and then threw the little boy to the ground. The servant threw it into Ji Rongheng's bedroom.
came out and looked around, seeing no one noticed, he carried Ji Rongheng over the courtyard wall.
Not long after escaping from the Captain's Mansion, he heard urgent calls from all around: "It's time to get out of the water."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of firefighting was heard endlessly.
"The master is still smart, and always puts things first."
Sang Qi carried Ji Rongheng on his shoulders while admiring his master's keen insight and continued on his way.
All the way avoiding the people who went to the Captain's Mansion to fight the fire, and I don't know how far they walked, Sang Qi was so tired that she was out of breath. Looking at an inn not far away that was still lit, she climbed in from the back wall.
As soon as he landed, he saw Ji Rongheng standing up staggeringly, looking at the strange environment and the woman in front of him, Ji Rongheng couldn't help being stunned.
Recognizing that the woman is the personal maid next to Princess Pingning, her face suddenly changed, and she asked solemnly: "What do you want to do in the middle of the night, girl?"
Sang Qi wiped the sweat from her forehead, leaned against the courtyard wall unhurriedly, and pointed to the direction illuminated by the fire in the distance.
"Why is my house on fire?"
Ji Rongheng leaned on the edge of the wall and took a closer look, only to realize that his captain's mansion was on fire, and was about to go out to fight the fire, Sang Qi quickly stopped and said, "The governor is going to go back like this?"
Ji Rongheng glanced at the body wrapped in only one underwear, and returned to the ground awkwardly, tightened his clothes, and asked without curiosity: "What's going on?"
"It's time to ask the governor himself."
Sang Qi replied coldly.
"Could it be that someone wants to kill the governor?"
Ji Rongheng thought about what happened before he fell asleep.
Not long after I came back from the governor's mansion, Pei Jian came to the mansion, saying that he was bored by Princess Yanjing's detainment of Princess Pingning and worried about the future of Langzhou, so he invited himself to drink and complain.
This guy also apologized to himself for being ordered to lead troops to monitor the posthouse that day. Looking at his sincere attitude, Ji Rongheng really thought that he was guilty, and never thought that he was harboring evil intentions.
No need to think about it any further, he immediately understood what was going on, clenched his fists and cursed fiercely: "Pei Jian must have been instructed by the Eldest Princess to harm the Governor."
Recalling Chu Nanzhi's assassination and what the eldest princess said to him in the daytime, he had already realized that the eldest princess had already started planning to get rid of herself.
Hateful, despicable and shameless wicked woman.
Ji Rongheng cursed loudly, but saw someone walking over from the garden.
He immediately told Sang Qi: "Miss Sang Qi, you go back to the post and tell the princess, the governor will definitely try to take her out of Langzhou, but the princess must be more careful at the dinner tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, he urged Sang Qi to climb over the wall and leave.
The shopkeeper who entered the park found that the disheveled man who turned into the courtyard was the governor of the state capital. His hairs stood on end in fright, and he faltered and said: "Great...Governor, you...how did you appear in the villain's inn? .”
"Stop talking nonsense, if you want to survive, don't stretch it."
Ji Rongheng warned impatiently, seeing the shopkeeper showing a look of fear, and then ordered: "Go and prepare a room for the governor, and bring clean clothes."
The shopkeeper left in a hurry, not daring to ask any more questions.
The news of the Captain's Mansion quickly spread to the post house, and Chu Nanzhi didn't sleep well that night, and woke up from her sleep, but she heard Sang Qi's voice softly rang at the door: "Master."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at Er Bao and Si Bao who were still asleep, and quietly got out of bed, lit a lamp, went to open the door and let Sang Qi in.
"Hush."
Hush at Sang Qi, Chu Nanzhi took her to the side of the inner room and sat down, saw her sweating profusely, and quickly bought a cup of tea for her.
Sang Qi drank tea voraciously, and then whispered: "As the master expected, someone really wanted to harm Chief Governor Ji."
After taking a few breaths, Sang Qi continued: "But please rest assured, Master, the servant has brought the governor to a safe place, and he asked the servant to come back first to deliver the message."
"Very good."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in satisfaction: "You go back to your room to rest, and follow me to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, let's watch the excitement."
Looking at the master's happy smile, Sang Qi finally understood what she was planning these days. It turned out that she was not idle, and easily separated the relationship between Princess Yan Jing and Ji Rongheng.
The master was happy, so she was naturally happy too, and walked out of the house contentedly.
Chu Nanzhi casually walked out of the room, went to the yard and looked at the place where the fire was burning in the direction of the Captain's Mansion, and vaguely heard voices of laughter and cursing, all kinds of emotions seemed to be intertwined.
After being in a daze for a long time, she continued to return to the room, closed the door and turned off the lights, and lay back on the bed, listening to the even breathing of Er Bao and Si Bao, she stretched out her arms to embrace Si Bao's warm body, trying to calm down Excited in the heart, quietly waiting for a new day to come soon.
This time, the stubborn donkey should be able to strengthen his determination, right?
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes in relief.
In the dream, she seemed to see Lin Jinxiao riding a tall horse, galloping along the official road full of spring, and that heroic figure was rushing towards her.
It has been more than half a year since we parted, as if several centuries have passed. What she longs for most now is to lean in his arms carefree, without having to calculate anything, and to enjoy the long-lost love unscrupulously. Cozy and peaceful.
These days, she feels too tired and tired.
Others can't see the panic in her heart, but she can feel the pain herself.
