Qiao Tianjing looked gloomy and rode back. As he turned the corner, he met the Qiao family's carriage that was speeding.
"Uu——"
Qiao Tianjing tightened the reins suddenly and looked at Qiao Shiyi, who was driving the car, with an expression of great surprise.
He arranged for Qiao Shiyi to be a close guard by his little sister's side. Why did he leave the house?
"Young Master!"
When Qiao Shiyi saw Qiao Tianjing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he had dinner just now, he stayed outside the house and listened to his wife and the young lady chatting about the almshouse and the thank-you letter. It was obvious that he was very relaxed and comfortable.
But for some reason, the young lady suddenly let out a low cry, and then ran straight out of the house.
The lady chased him out, shouting his name and looking very ugly.
Then, he heard the young lady who was just over a year old tell him to harness the horse and go out with a serious face, her tone was fast and urgent.
Really, he didn’t lie, that’s what the lady said!
He was completely confused. He harnessed the horse at the urgent urging of the lady, and then the lady hugged the lady and got into the carriage.
He clearly had the eldest young master's order to guard his wife and young lady in the mansion, but in the end he left the house under the young lady's stern order...
Seeing the eldest young master at this time, he really felt like he saw a savior!
Hearing Qiao Shiyi's call, the car curtain was suddenly opened, revealing the eager faces of Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao.
"Brother! It's not good!" Qiao Jiaojiao shouted quickly.
"Little sister!?"
Qiao Tianjing was about to turn over and dismount, but Qiao Jiaojiao waved her hands repeatedly.
Her life was at stake, and she had no time to hide it and pretend to be an ignorant child.
"Brother, take me on horseback! Take the secret guards and go to the almshouse!"
Qiao Tianjing was confused, but he always attached great importance to Qiao Jiaojiao's words, and he immediately reached out and hugged her to him without hesitation.
Qiao Jiaojiao turned to look at Mrs. Qiao who looked worried in the carriage, and said urgently: "Don't worry, Mom, everything will be fine!"
"Brother, let's go!"
Qiao Tianjing immediately tightened his grip on the horse's belly and said in a deep voice: "Follow me on November 1, Mrs. Da Lian will come into the house, call Uncle Qiao, and hurry to the almshouse!"
"yes!"
Qiao Shiyi and Qiao Dalian exchanged positions tacitly and responded solemnly.
Qiao Tianjing immediately rode forward!
Qiao Jiaojiao hugged Qiao Tianjing tightly and asked quickly while rushing:
"Brother, have you caught Zhufeng?"
Qiao Tianjing shook his head with a heavy face and asked nervously:
"Little sister, do you think Zhufeng will go to the almshouse? But we have no connection with the almshouse on the surface. Even the expansion is in the name of others -"
When Qiao Jiaojiao heard that her eldest brother had not dealt with Zhufeng, her heart became more and more uneasy, and she hurriedly took over the conversation:
"Brother, there was no word about our work helping the relief home before. If others don't know about it, they won't pay special attention to the relief home."
"But today, the workhouse sent a special letter of thanks, and I didn't have time to tell you."
"And because I had the plan of 'asking you to enter the urn' in mind, I didn't care about him."
"It wasn't until dinner just now when my mother and I were chatting about thank-you letters that I became interested."
"Cough cough cough——"
Although Qiao Jiaojiao has practiced speaking very hard, she rarely speaks in such a hurry.
At this moment, he choked on his own saliva and coughed several times. He endured the discomfort and continued:
"Brother, I think if Zhufeng really wants to kill us, he will send people to guard the house day and night."
"He will definitely notice the person who came to deliver the letter, and then follow him to the almshouse. Then as long as he asks the people in the almshouse, he will definitely find out that our Qiao family has been helping them."
"Cough cough cough——"
"Brother, I'm afraid that after Zhufeng fails at your place, he will set his sights on the workhouse!"
"Although I can't believe that Zhufeng would be so crazy as to attack a child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, I still feel uneasy."
"If we do bad things with good intentions and harm the children in the workhouse, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid our Qiao family will die ten thousand times and we will not be able to escape the blame!"
After Qiao Jiaojiao finished speaking in one breath, she almost couldn't breathe and her face turned a little pale.
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his face instantly became extremely ugly.
If it had been in the past, he would not have believed that the people under the second prince would be so frantic and would take action against children.
But today, he saw those young dead soldiers trained by the Northern Kingdom in the Yong Dynasty.
He knew in his heart that they had no mercy at all and would even do anything to achieve their goals!
The night was getting darker, and after leaving Putian Street, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
Qiao Tianjing rode his horse with a sullen expression, and even galloped away after leaving the south city gate!
Qiao Jiaojiao was so shaken on the horse that she almost vomited. She clutched Qiao Tianjing's clothes tightly and gritted her teeth to hold on.
[If Zhufeng and the others really want to deal with the workhouse, they are just betting that if our Qiao family doesn't care, we will mess up our position and give them the opportunity to take advantage of it! 】
[So, they should make a big deal out of the situation and let the news reach the ears of our Qiao family! 】
[They should not only be obsessed with killing me now. As long as they are members of our Qiao family, as long as they can disturb the minds of father and second brother, their goal will be achieved. 】
[So, they should be trying their best to lure the eldest brother to the almshouse! 】
[If we rush there now, maybe a dragnet has been set up around the workhouse, just waiting for the big brother to take the bait! 】
[There is only Qiao Shiyi behind you, which is not enough! 】
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao said quickly: "Brother, wait a minute! Wait for Qiao Bo and the others to come together!"
Qiao Tianjing had already understood Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts, but he did not slow down, but said calmly:
"Don't worry, little sister, Qiao Bo and the others are much faster than us. By the time we get to the workhouse, they should be here too."
He is holding his little sister in his arms now, and his speed is limited after all. Qiao Bo and the others are brave, and riding a horse is much faster.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt a little relieved after hearing this, and quickly called up the merit panel. In the upper right corner, it read: 125 points of merit.
[There are 125 merit points left. I just hope nothing happens to the almshouse, otherwise such a small amount of merit will not be enough to save people! 】
[Old King of Hell, you should be clear about who should be accepted and who should not be accepted! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was praying secretly in her heart, when Qiao Tianjing's exclamation suddenly came from above her head.
Qiao Jiaojiao was suddenly startled. She turned her head and looked forward with difficulty. She saw a ball of fire suddenly light up in the dark night, which was extremely conspicuous!
Qiao Jiaojiao's mind suddenly buzzed. If she remembered correctly, that direction was——
Almshouse!
"Arson! They actually set fire!"
This is indeed the fastest and most effective way to attract others' attention.
Qiao Jiaojiao was extremely angry, if those children were in the fire...
She didn't dare think about it anymore.
[Is this Zhufeng really possessed and crazy? 】
[He must know that his ambush today has alerted the enemy, and our Qiao family will definitely not give him any chance again. 】
[So in order to complete the task assigned to him by the second prince, he was so vicious that he attacked young and weak women and children in the almshouse? 】
[But the guards at the south city gate are not vegetarians. If they see the fire, they will come as quickly as possible. Is Zhufeng so panicked that he doesn't even take this factor into consideration? 】
[No, he is the second prince's right-hand man. We cannot underestimate him. So... is there a possibility that all the city defenders have been bribed? 】
[In other words, they have been the second prince’s people for a long time! 】
When her thoughts reached this point, Qiao Jiaojiao felt an indescribable coldness all over her body!
The almshouse was already in sight, and in the darkness all one could see was the fierceness of the fire, like a dragon sticking out its tongue!
"Young Master!"
At this moment, a powerful call came from behind.
