It was no problem for Lan Zhi to run alone, but it would be a bit troublesome for her to easily avoid so many people with Xiao Lan.

When they hid in a corner, Lan Zhi said to Xiao Lan:

"Xiao Lan, hide for a while. I will lead them away. Go to the palace and I will meet you later."

"No, I can't..."

"Not negotiable!"

Lan Zhi interrupted him before he could finish.

Seeing Xiao Lan looking anxious, she added: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. My kung fu is very good."

Afterwards, Lan Zhi ran out first to lead the people away.

Xiao Lan's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with mist.

If anyone wants to lead her away, he should do it. How can he let her take such a risk...

In the end, he could only run towards the palace as Lan Zhi said.

On the other side, Lan Zhi had already run to the dock where they were last time.

She wanted to run to the roof, but was afraid of stepping on someone else's tiles and breaking them, or causing the tiles to fall and hit someone.

Seeing that there was no road ahead, she quickly ran into the restaurant nearby.

Now she could only hope that the pursuers hadn't seen her running in here.

But as soon as she entered, she heard the voice of the officers and soldiers: "Search!"

Generally, nobles live in the East and West cities, so the Sima of the South City is the local emperor of this area.

Lan Zhi cursed inwardly, he is just a city management chief, look how arrogant they are.

She kept running upwards. The restaurant had four floors, so she ran straight to the top floor.

The third and fourth floors were all private rooms. Lan Zhi thought that if all else failed, she could just jump out of the window. If that didn't work, she could just wait until she was in a deserted place and then instantly return to other countries.

There are only two private rooms on the fourth floor.

Lan Zhi pushed a door at random and walked in, holding two gold leaves in her hands.

If there are people around, just treat it as inviting them to dinner. It would be bad to disturb them.

As soon as the door opened, a long sword swept straight towards him.

Lan Zhi dodged and golden leaves flew out at the same time, and the man with the sword was instantly acupunctured.

At the same time, a hand swung towards her again. She reacted quickly, grabbing the man's wrist with one hand and holding his neck with the other hand and pushing him against the wall.

When she saw clearly the man she was pressing against the wall, Lan Zhi was shocked.

Qiao Hengzhi?!

Why is he here?

She pretended to be calm and whispered, "Don't move. I didn't mean to barge in. You know Nancheng Sima's brother-in-law, right? He's the one who often robs women. He saw me while I was having dinner and he insisted on taking me back. I had no choice but to come here."

Qiao Hengzhi retracted the hidden weapon in his hand and looked down at the little woman in front of him. She looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. She was very beautiful, even more beautiful than Su Yuer, who was compared to the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Her skin is as white as jade, her eyes are bright and clear, her nose is straight and upturned, and her lips are as red as cinnabar.

Her hands seemed very soft, and whether she was holding his neck or his wrist, there was no discomfort at all.

A faint fragrance wafted over, which he found very pleasant.

Qiao Hengzhi suddenly felt a little dirty. How could he have such a reaction to a girl?

Lan Zhi noticed that the two were very close, so she said, "I'll let you go, can you please not grab me?"

Qiao Hengzhi nodded.

After Lan Zhi let go of Qiao Hengzhi, she also untied Xiyu's acupoints.

At this time, the officers and soldiers had already run up.

But instead of rushing in, they knocked on the door.

"Open the door!"

The reason why these officers and soldiers did not push the door open directly was that they heard that the top floor of the restaurant was never opened to the outside, and it was said that a distinguished person seemed to be living there.

I don’t know who this high-ranking official is, but it’s safest not to offend him.

At this time, the boss came over and said coldly: "The man inside is not someone you can offend, so get out of here if you know what's best for you."

"Do you know who we are? Let the one inside open the door."

"Do you know who is inside? How dare you cause trouble in my Tinghai Tower?"

At this time, Xi Yu opened the door from the inside, took out a card and shoved it in front of several officers and soldiers: "Get lost."

Several officers and soldiers looked at the token, and finally they had to wink and say, "Go!"

If it were somewhere else, they might doubt the authenticity of the token, but this is the capital, so they have to believe it.

That was the token of the Imperial Guard, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

Xiyu closed the door from the outside and he stood guard outside.

There was silence in the house.

Lan Zhi curled up in the dark cabinet, looking out through the narrow gap, she saw Qiao Hengzhi in a graceful white robe walking towards her like an immortal.

The white clothes soon blocked his eyes like a curtain, and then his gentle voice sounded: "The person has left, come out."

Lan Zhi pushed open the cabinet door and came out, bending over.

"Thank you, sir. I am sorry to bother you. Can I stay a little longer before leaving? It is really unlucky to run into that demon. I don't know if they are still down there."

"Wufang, girl, please rest here for a while. Who is the devil you are talking about? Is there anyone who dares to do evil in this imperial city?"

"Can I sit down and talk?" Lan Zhi felt a little dizzy.

"please."

Lan Zhi unceremoniously found a stool and sat down, then poured herself a glass of water. Seeing Qiao Hengzhi also sit down, she handed him the water she had just poured.

Then he poured himself another glass and drank it in one gulp.

She said, "I heard that his brother-in-law is the military commander of the South City. The soldiers in the South City all obey his family. I just disobeyed him and he wanted to take me back by force. If I hadn't been a little skilled, I would have been taken away by them long ago."

Qiao Hengzhi's eyes dimmed.

"No one dares to intervene? This is under the feet of the emperor."

"Who dares to mess with this devil? I was having dinner at Zui Xiang Lou. The people there wanted to help me, but they couldn't stand the devil's threats. If you mess with him, you won't have a good life in the future."

"Is the girl telling the truth?"

"Every word he said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to Zui Xiang Lou and ask. He said it himself that his brother-in-law is the military commander of the South City. He shouted and all the soldiers in the city chased after me. I was exhausted to death."

Lan Zhi suddenly remembered something and cried out in surprise, "It's over, it's over. Can I still go home? If they find me... I might even die. No, no, I have to leave this imperial city tonight."

As he said that, Lan Zhi ran to the window and looked out, then looked anxious: "They are still downstairs, what should I do..."

[Host, you are overacting. 】

"What do you know? This is called strengthening the guilt value in your heart. After returning, Qiao Hengzhi will have someone deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"Girl, where is your home? I'll ask someone..."

At this moment, Lan Zhi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff".

"Damn it! What's going on? I can vomit blood after running such a short distance today?"

[Host, today is your birthday. After this birthday, your health may get worse. ]

"........"

You're such a badass!
