The resentful best friend travels through daily life
Chapter 148 Negotiation
Zhou Ning learned the news in the space. He told Zhou Ning everything he knew and heard, and told her to be careful, as those people would not touch her for the time being.
Seeing Shen You looking so careless, Zhou Ning couldn't help but ask, "Are you really okay?"
However, Zhou Ning didn't have time to be pretentious. He just gave a few instructions and left the space to find Qi Ji.
Youzi said that those people were trying to lure out Qi Ji, so Qi Ji should know more.
Before Zhou Ning had time to look for Qi Ji, Qi Ji came to find her.
Qi Ji was still wearing white clothes, but his face was terribly gloomy, veins were bulging on his hands, and he was tightly holding a piece of paper. He just stood there, which made Zhou Ning feel a little cold, afraid of this boy who was only fifteen years old.
Bai Zhao was standing next to Qi Ji. When he saw Zhou Ning, he waved.
Zhou Ning stepped forward and asked, "Was it your stepmother who kidnapped her?"
Qi Ji's eyes were filled with an almost sinister indifference. He said coldly, "Even if it's not her, it's related to her."
"I'm going to meet my mother, An Ning. This trip might be dangerous. You decide whether to go or not."
"go."
Zhou Ning responded almost as soon as Qi Ji finished speaking.
At this time, there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, and everyone was in danger. Qi Ji was unable to transfer manpower from Lin County Magistrate.
The note said before noon, Jinbao Inn.
They didn't have time to look for the master, and with the methods used by that woman, she might kill them.
Qi Ji couldn't gamble with Shen You's life, so he had to go first. He asked someone to find his master, hoping that his master would get the news and arrive in time.
Qi Ji and Bai Zhao took the only two horses left in the city. Qi Ji had learned a little from the Bai family, and Bai Zhao had also been taught by his father, but Zhou Ning had never had any contact with them.
The temperaments of these two horses were relatively docile, and Qi Ji and Bai Zhao could both ride them.
Zhou Ning definitely couldn’t run away, so he decisively chose to ride on the same horse with Bai Zhao.
Zhou Ning was really scared when seeing Qi Ji's murderous look.
A hint of red crept up on Bai Zhao's ears, but he still pretended to remain calm.
Zhou Ning sat behind Bai Zhao so as not to block his view (actually she couldn't).
Seeing Qi Ji had already run away, Zhou Ning put his arm around Bai Zhao's waist and urged him, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up."
Bai Zhao only felt that his body was stiffer than usual and his ears were redder, but he did not stop and hurried away.
Because Bai Zhao was too nervous, it was surprisingly fast.
It was also Zhou Ning’s first time riding a horse, so she hugged Bai Zhao even tighter.
As Zhou Ning hugged him, he thought: This boy has quite strong muscles. In a fight, he should be able to beat three people at once.
Along the way, the three of them had their own thoughts, and they arrived at the Jinbao Inn.
Jinbao Inn is located next to the official road, but now it seems to be abandoned.
Zhang Si glanced at the three people, and finally fixed his eyes on Qi Ji, and said, "You must be Mr. Qi."
Qi Ji nodded slightly and said, "Lead the way."
Zhang Si rolled his eyes. This young man was still acting as if he was about to die.
Zhou Ning smeared the powder on the corner of Zhang Si's clothes as if nothing had happened.
The environment here is not very clean and not very bright.
She listened carefully and seemed to hear the sound of quarreling inside.
Zhao San and several assassins were guarding the door.
Zhou Ning looked at those professional-looking killers, pretended to sneeze, leaned forward, and sprinkled powder.
The amount of powder was not large, and it looked like Zhou Ning's movements had created some dust.
A maid with a veil came out and said, "Only the eldest son can enter. No one else is allowed to enter."
Zhou Ning frowned. This person was wearing a veil, and he must have been wearing a veil or something inside, so the effect of the powder would be weakened.
Qi Ji nodded slightly and went in.
The inside of the house is slightly different from the outside and is very clean.
The two people wearing veils looked like women.
One of the women seemed a little embarrassed, as if she was afraid of the woman next to her.
A man stood next to one of the women with a wound on his face.
Qi Ji raised his eyes with a cold smile, and he bowed and said with a smile: "Son, I pay my respects to my mother."
He spoke each word very heavily, as if he was using up all his strength.
Rong Xian did not take off her veil, but looked at another woman first - her elder sister, Rong Jing.
"Your own business, take care of it yourself."
Judging from her voice, Rong Jing seemed like a woman who had been in a high position for a long time, and her voice was dignified and majestic.
As if she had received instructions, Rong Xian said, "Ji'er, I don't really want to hurt your friends, but you have been refusing to come out, so I can only use this method to lure you here. I hope you don't blame me."
This attitude?
Qi Ji didn't show it on his face, but he was in a state of confusion in his heart.
What on earth does this vicious woman want to do?
Qi Ji had no choice but to respond: "My son can agree to everything, but please let my friend go."
Rong Xian's face lit up, and she said, "We have just given your friend a good meal and a drink, we just need you to be a witness."
"witness?"
"You arrested a group of bandits last year. After an investigation by the Dali Temple, it was found that many people were involved, but your uncle is innocent."
"You captured an important figure among the bandits, but he has now committed suicide by biting his tongue. With your intelligence, you must have questioned him thoroughly at the time. All I need is for you to testify that the man has nothing to do with your uncle."
The uncle that Rong Xian was referring to was her biological brother, Rong Ji Yang.
Rong Xian and Rong Ji Yang are both born out of wedlock, and usually have little presence in the Rong family. This time the emperor is very strict, and the Rong family has no place to start, so Rong Xian has no choice but to find another way.
Qi Ji understood and sneered in his heart, so that's how it is.
He is not only the legitimate son of the Qi family, but also the grandson of the Bai family. His proof will be more convincing.
But, did Rong Xian know that the person she kidnapped was Shen You, the current county lady personally appointed by the emperor?
"How about I go to the capital with you and you release her?" Qi Ji suggested.
The smile that Rong Xian had managed to accumulate disappeared in an instant. She said, "Go to the Dali Temple, testify, and give your fingerprints, and I will let her go."
After being a witness, he will no longer be of any use, so by then, this vicious woman will probably plan to kill him.
By then, he would be the target of public criticism, and if he died, this vicious woman would not be a big suspect.
Qi Ji pretended to be in deep thought and said, "I want to see her to see if she is safe."
"No." Rong Jing said.
Qi Ji glanced at the legendary eldest daughter of the Rong family, Rong Jing.
Rong Jing is the legitimate daughter and the first child of the Rong family. In the Rong family, she almost has the final say.
She never got married but stayed in Rong's family. As for her child, it was said to be born to her and her lover.
The one standing next to her was the one she loved the most.
