Chapter 57 The Emperor is gone

The two of them had just returned the rented carriage when a bolt of lightning flashed across, followed by thunder in the sky and huge raindrops falling.

"It's over, God doesn't allow you to see the world now."

Nan Xi bought two umbrellas and gave one to Li Beimu, "It's too late. I should go home. You should also go back early. We can play together next time when we have a chance."

She waved her hand at him, but after walking down a street, she remembered that she had spent a whole day with this stupid guy and actually forgot to ask his name.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Nan Xi always had a bad feeling in his heart and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The umbrella blocked half of the view, and suddenly, a pair of men's feet burst in with the sound of rain.

Geek!

Could it be that you encountered some Rainy Night Butcher or something?

She subconsciously searched for something that could save her life in the space. At the same time, she used the Qinggong she had just learned for a few days and ran away.

However, it was still a step too late.

Her wrist was held, and the sudden force pulled her into a solid embrace.

Not wanting to think about this familiar scent, Nan Xi used the umbrella as a weapon and waved it over, while at the same time throwing a handful of chili noodles in his hand.

Unfortunately, the rain was so heavy that all the soaked chili noodles fell to the ground.

"What's the fuss about?" Li Qing and Mo Qingqing's cold voice sounded better than the sound of rain.

He held the umbrella forward to prevent the rain from falling on Nan Xi.

"Master?" Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this face clearly, "You scared me to death."

Li Qingmo turned around with her body. Not far ahead was the carriage, and Lan Jue was waiting in the rain wearing a bamboo hat.

"Master, aren't you in Gongyuan? Why did you come out?" Nan Xi seemed to have forgotten the umbrella in his hand, so he and Li Qingmo shared an umbrella.

Li Qingmo was half a head taller than her, and his clear voice seemed to be contained by an umbrella. When it reached Nan Xi's ears, it was also mixed with the sound of rain hitting the umbrella, giving it a different flavor.

"Is this why you haven't returned home after Youshi?"

Nan Xi: "..."

[Fortunately, I didn’t go to the night market with the stupid guy. 】

Li Qingmo: "?"

frown.

Who is the big stupid guy?

"Master, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Let's go back quickly."

She closed the distance between the two to prevent the rain from splashing on Li Qingmo's body.

[The temperature is low on a rainy night, but you must not let Master catch the cold. 】

After returning home, Li Qingmo was bathing in hot water, and Lan Jue brought him a cup of ginger tea.

"Sir, Miss Nan cooked this for you. She said it was to ward off the cold." He emphasized the word 'Miss Nan' very hard.

God knows, what I hate the most is the smell of ginger.

Li Qingmo frowned subconsciously, but said nothing. He took the ginger tea and drank it in one gulp.

Lan Jue thought to himself, sure enough, as long as Miss Nan is mentioned, I will keep lowering my bottom line and even drink ginger tea.

"What happened today?" Li Qingmo asked.

Lan Jue took the empty cup and placed it far away so that he wouldn't smell the remaining ginger smell.

"A few blind people wanted to kidnap Miss Nan and sell her, but she was resourceful and used the wind to spread some chili powder to save herself. Those people's subordinates have already been dealt with, don't worry."

This is also the reason why those people have never been able to catch up with Nan Xi and the others.

It's not that he's not fast enough, or that the chili noodles are too powerful, but that someone is secretly helping.

Li Qingmo leaned back on the edge of the tub, applying hot air to his face. Even his eyelashes were stained with moisture, which melted the cold aura, but could not warm the sharpness under his eyes.

"Who is with her?"

Just let the little girl go out for a day, and then a big stupid guy will appear?

After Lan Jue coughed lightly, he cupped his fists and raised his fists to the sky, "It's...the Emperor."

Li Qingmo's cold eyes glanced over, not doubting Lan Jue's words.

"He left the palace?"

Lan Jue nodded, "The emperor also got rid of the secret guard."

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen into the trap of those gangsters and got beaten.

Li Qingmo's face sank when he learned the truth of the whole matter.Before he could lose his temper, Xia Rui suddenly walked in.

He was so panicked that he even forgot to knock on the door.

"Master, the emperor is missing."

……

In the front yard, a group of secret guards were kneeling in the rain.

Under the eaves, Li Qingmo stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes splashed with ink reflecting the darkness of the rainy night, as if they were condensed in a whirlpool, as if he would sink just by looking at it.

"You have lost your master, how dare you come back to see me?"

All the secret guards were trembling. They had just endured a wave of whippings. At this time, the rain fell on their bodies, and the pain doubled, but they did not dare to say a word.

Li Qingmo: "Throw them all into the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave."

The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, where there is life to enter and life to escape, the people who are thrown there are all secret guards who have made unforgivable mistakes. As long as they can survive seven days, they will be pardoned.

However, no one has done it yet.

The secret guards kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the more they did this, the more useless they became.

Soon, Xia Rui walked over despite the rain, "Master, we have found out. The last person with the emperor was Miss Nan."

In Yunyan Pavilion, Nan Xi was just about to fall asleep when Shaoyao suddenly came in.

"Girl, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qingmo walked in.

Lan Jue and Xia Rui stayed outside the house.

"The person who was with you today, where did you separate?"

Nan Xi's eyes widened: "Master, how did you know?"

[Master sent someone to follow her? 】

[No, if Master sends people to follow me, when those people want to kidnap me, there will definitely be someone to help. 】

Li Qingmo didn't have time to explain too much, so he asked again: "Where did you separate?"

Nan Xi: "The alley entrance not far in front of Mipu is the road to the night market."

Seeing Li Qingmo's serious expression and his brows knitted together, Nan Xi couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with him? What are you asking him for?"

"He's gone."

Li Qingmo turned around and walked out.

The rain is getting heavier, accompanied by wind and thunder and lightning.

This night was destined to be no ordinary night.

half an hour ago.

Li Beimu held up his umbrella and looked at Nan Xi's back, which quickly disappeared in the rain. Later, he realized that he had forgotten to ask the girl's name.

I only know that she lives in the north of the city. Should I go to the north of the city to find her next time?

He looked around.

Which way to go back to the palace?
He had never been out of the palace and had no idea.

There was a person running over from the front.

"Hey?"

Li Beimu shouted, "Excuse me..."

Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared.

The rain was so heavy that the sky and the earth were almost connected in a line, blurring the vision. Visibility was getting lower and lower, and there was almost no one on the street.

Li Beimu could only accept his fate and find his own way. As he walked, he heard a figure crawling out of the alley next to him.

"Help..." The man stretched out his hand toward Li Beimu. In the heavy rain, he could only vaguely see the outline of a woman, "Help me..."

The woman's hand dropped, and there was no more sound.

Li Beimu quickly stepped forward and turned the woman over, only to find that she was dead. Her clothes were messy and her bare skin was covered in scars.

"who!"

The yamen patrolling the street ran over, and after confirming that the woman was dead, he directly put a knife on Li Beimu's neck and grabbed him back.
