Chapter 247: News of the assassination spread to the capital
Liu Xiaocui walked out carefully and found that this was actually a basement, and it was fully equipped with daily necessities.
She took the flint from the table and lit the oil lamp in the house.
The moment the lights came on, I could see the furnishings in the room clearly.
Is this confinement or just a way for the person who made the mistake to have a good rest?
At this time, her body was extremely tired. The bed was covered with very clean bedding. Liu Xiaocui took off her coat, leaving only her inner clothes, and lay comfortably on the bed.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door opened and a figure walked in.
The masked man stood in front of the bed and looked at the woman lying on the bed with cold eyes.
Liu Xiaocui shuddered and opened her eyes suddenly. A dark shadow blocked the light, but she felt that it was the master.
He started cursing, rolled off the bed, and knelt before his master.
"My lord, please forgive me. I didn't know you were here." He knocked his head on the ground and let out a muffled groan.
The masked man picked up Liu Xiaocui, who was kneeling on the ground, with one hand, tore off her inner clothes, and threw her onto the bed. Liu Xiaocui did not dare to look up at her master.
The masked man took a thin whip from the wall and hit Liu Xiaocui hard with it.
Liu Xiaocui gritted her teeth and endured the pain. The masked man raised the corner of his mouth and whipped her hard again and again.
He didn't stop until Liu Xiaocui couldn't help but let out a slight cry of pain, and then he threw the bloody whip aside.
He took off his clothes and slowly approached Liu Xiaocui.

Capital
As spring comes and flowers bloom, the You Ran Restaurant in Beijing is experiencing unprecedented prosperity. The owner Qian Kun stands in a private room on the second floor, overlooking the bustling crowd of diners downstairs.
Ever since Xue Qing provided that unique recipe, the cuisine of Youran Ju has become unrivaled in the capital, with guests flocking to the restaurant every day and business booming.
Just as Qian Kun was immersed in joy, a secret letter broke the tranquility.
The few words in the letter made him frown. It turned out that Xue Qing had left Anyang and followed a caravan to the Western Regions, but encountered two thrilling accidents during the journey. Although he escaped by luck, his future was uncertain.
Qian Kun couldn't help but worry about Xue Qing's safety. Something could happen to anyone, but not her.
He immediately summoned his capable men and sent three secret guards to protect Xue Qing along the way to ensure her safety. After receiving the mission, they were on their way to the Western Region within an hour. They must find Xue Qing before she arrives in the Western Region.
At the same time, Qian Kun also began to investigate the truth behind these accidents.
After much investigation, he gradually discovered some clues. It turned out that someone paid a high price to kill someone, and the target was Xue Qing.
When Qian Kun learned that the people who hired the murderer were actually Xue Qing's biological parents, he seemed to be more certain of his previous doubts.
Are these parents doing this for money or for the future of their other daughter? This behavior is worse than that of beasts!
As the investigation deepened, more details were revealed one by one.
When all the clues pointed to Xue Qing's biological parents, Qian Kun felt extremely heavy.
Now he was more worried about Xue Qing's safety. He knew that although Xue Qing was very smart, she would probably be hard to guard against such a relative.
At the same time, Xue Zhong also received a secret letter from Gao Yi.
Suddenly, a snow-white dove flew past the window and landed lightly on his desk.
He immediately caught the pigeon and took out the letter from Gao Yi. When he unfolded the letter and saw the detailed description of the two thrilling accidents Xue Qing encountered during the journey, Xue Zhong's mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
He frowned, his eyes flashing with anger and worry. He knew very well that Xia Xuelian was the real granddaughter of their Zhenguo Mansion and one of his most important relatives in the world.
Her safety was even more important to him than his own life. Therefore, he could not let those men in black go unpunished, and he could not let Xue Qing fall into danger again.
Xue Zhong quickly summoned his most trusted subordinates and told them the contents of the pigeon letter in detail.
He asked them to track down the whereabouts of those men in black at all costs and find out their purpose in assassinating Xue Qing.
Xue Zhong handed Gao Yi's pigeon letter to Xue He who was waiting anxiously on the side.
Xue He took the letter and quickly read through its contents. When he saw the danger Xue Qing was in, his face turned pale as paper and his fingers trembled slightly.
He couldn't imagine the hardships and pain his daughter was going through in a foreign land.
However, when he heard that his father had made arrangements, he felt relieved. He knew that his father was a wise and decisive man.
Anyang City
The Xia couple have been living in anxiety these days. They can't wait any longer and must deal with it quickly.
The good days of the rest of your life depend on these few days.
The caravan did not encounter any more assassinations and traveled safely for more than half a month before finally reaching the border.
February is supposed to be a season of lush grass and singing birds, but they are heading northwest and it is still cold here.
Fortunately, Xue Qing and Jiang Yi brought enough cotton clothes. Jiang Yi would occasionally ride a horse for a while. Xue Qing was always eager to try and wanted to ride a horse, but was stopped by Jiang Yi, Cheng Niu and Gao Yi at the same time.
Xue Qing jokingly asked: "How come you two are so in sync?"
Cheng Niu was speechless for a moment, Jiang Yi and Gao Yi said: "It's all for your safety!"
Xue Qing tilted his head and looked them up and down: "You...hahaha"
He turned around and got into the car.
Jiang Yi walked into the carriage with a red face: "Qing'er, what did you want to say just now?"
Xue Qing glanced at her and said, "You guessed it all, and you asked me again?"
Jiang Yi was speechless. She had guessed a little, but how could she just talk about such a thing?
These days, she and Gao Yi often practiced martial arts and rode on horseback together.
So it was normal for Xue Qing to misunderstand. Xue Qing thought the two of them were actually quite suitable for each other.
Jiang Yi is thirty years old and seems to be alone now, without a husband. As for her past, it is not important at all to Xue Qing.
As for Gao Yi, Xue Qing didn't know how old Gao Yi was, but he felt that he was definitely older than Jiang Yi.
Both of them are highly skilled in martial arts, so they should be a good match.
"Sister Yi, I've never heard you mention your family!" Xue Qing asked casually.
Jiang Yi's expression looked unnatural for a moment, and his body was a little stiff.
"um, I..."
Xue Qing saw Jiang Yi hesitating, so she asked directly: "Do you have a husband now?"
Jiang Yi shook his head.
Xue Qing simply said: "That's fine, he's unmarried, and you're unmarried, it's suitable!"
