Mo Lingchen stopped the servant behind him and anxiously asked about the situation. Even though Su Yujiao was angry, she knew that there was strength in numbers and now was not the time to be angry and talk nonsense.

She briefly told what happened tonight and her guesses, and Mo Lingchen left with a gloomy face.

"Let's go too and try our luck on the street."

Su Yujiao thought that the peddlers walking around the streets or the beggars on the roadside might be able to provide her with useful information.

"Madam, there is a little beggar over there. I will go and ask him."

"Ah."

As a result, as soon as Wei Yingzi approached, the little beggar was scared away.

"Madam, I'll take you to find it." Hu Zi ran over panting.

"Shitou took Sister Shuang to the dilapidated temple in the east of the city to look for it."

"Sister Xiaotao and Niu Wa went to the west of the city."

"Let's go to the south and north of the city."

"it is good."

Just as Su Yujiao was about to leave, she saw Lu Ziqian coming hurriedly.

"Hu Zi, you go with her to the south of the city, and I will take my wife to the north of the city." Lu Ziqian gave the order.

Su Yujiao frowned: "Why are you here?"

"I just went to deliver something to you, and when I heard something happened, I came to check it out."

"What to give?" Su Yujiao didn't quite believe it.

"Find someone first, and we'll talk about the others when they come back."

She didn't hesitate, as it was indeed important to find someone first.

The next second, Lu Ziqian suddenly put his arms around the woman's slender waist and disappeared into the night as light as a swallow.

Su Yujiao was not used to the feeling of weightlessness with her feet off the ground and her center of gravity unstable, but she didn't want to hug him too close.

"Put me down, I can walk."

The man tightened his grip around her waist and asked seriously, "Are you not in a hurry anymore?"

"How long will it take for you to find someone if you just walk?"

Su Yujiao kept silent. He was indeed much faster than her when he used his Qinggong skills.

Seeing that she had a stern face and didn't speak, Lu Ziqian spoke in a much softer tone: "If you are scared, hold me tighter. I won't let you fall."

"I know you feel uncomfortable, thinking you've already divorced and shouldn't hug me so intimately..."

"But the situation is urgent now, and human lives are at stake. This is the only way."

After Lu Ziqian finished speaking, he suddenly increased his speed. Su Yujiao lost her balance and her body suddenly leaned back. She was so scared that she grabbed the man's collar in panic. She no longer cared about anything else and hugged his neck tightly with both hands.

He felt the tense breathing and scorching temperature beside his ears, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

However, he also knew what was important and what was not. Now that he had achieved his goal, he should concentrate on his work.

Lu Ziqian held her in his arms and climbed walls and rooftops, moving quickly through the night, visiting one abandoned temple and dilapidated courtyard after another.

"How come you are so familiar with these dilapidated courtyards?"

The man curled his lips and smiled. "When I'm not fighting, I'm responsible for the safety of the capital. I study the topographical maps every day and keep abreast of the movements of every place. I can feel every corner of the capital with my eyes closed."

Seeing his smug look, Su Yujiao curled her lips speechlessly, thinking, look at what he can do.

The two men searched the North City but found no clues, so they went to the South City.

"Don't make any noise, there's a light in that dilapidated temple ahead." The man suddenly became alert.

Su Yujiao turned her head and saw a faint light.

They were still some distance away from the light at this time, so they could only see the light but could not hear any sound.

As they got closer, the dilapidated temple did not emit any terrifying screams.

Su Yujiao prayed in her heart that nothing would happen.

The two of them landed on the eaves of the temple gate and could clearly see the situation inside the temple.

I saw three or five smelly beggars surrounding a woman and swearing at her.

The woman's clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. As she struggled, Su Yujiao saw that there was a cloth tied around her mouth. No wonder she didn't make any sound.

Su Yujiao's heart was in her throat. It was too dark, and the thin woman was blocked by several beggars. The picture kept shaking, and she couldn't see clearly whether the woman was Jin Mudan.

Su Yujiao subconsciously grabbed Lu Ziqian's arm, and Lu Ziqian held her trembling hand: "Wait, I'll go down and take a look."

"Don't move, these tiles are a little loose."

Su Yujiao nodded anxiously and urged him to go quickly.

She watched as Lu Ziqian kicked the beggar away in a few moves, then took off his cloak and covered the woman with it.

She finally saw the woman's face clearly, and tears instantly burst out. She couldn't help but shout with trembling lips: "Peony!"

Jin Mudan glanced at the source of the sound, then tucked her head into the cloak, completely covering herself.

Lu Ziqian looked at Su Yujiao's anxious look, afraid that she would fall down. After breaking the beggar's legs, he immediately flew over and picked her up.

"Mudan, don't be afraid, I'm here." She hugged Mudan trembling all over, and could hear the suppressed crying of the woman in the cloak.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Jin Mudan's legs bent in a strange posture. She subconsciously reached out to touch her. Jin Mudan wanted to dodge, but she couldn't move at all.

"Your legs!!" Su Yujiao choked out.

Why is this happening?

The plot has been advanced and the timeline is messed up!

She hugged Jin Mudan and cried uncontrollably, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault."

She blamed herself and apologized over and over again, and even suspected that she was wearing a talisman. If God could not punish her, then he would punish the people around her.

Suddenly, Mo Lingchen rushed in with his men. When he saw Su Yujiao holding a black cloak with a small part of the woman's white toes exposed under the cloak, it seemed as if all the blood in his body had frozen.

Even without being able to see who was under the cloak, he could guess.

He wanted to go over and hug her, to comfort her, but his feet seemed to have taken root, and he froze in place, unable to move an inch.

Just now, he rushed over because he heard Su Yujiao's cry, but now he didn't dare to take a step forward.

Su Yujiao reacted and wiped her tears vigorously. Now was not the time to be sad. Mudan's leg must be treated quickly. Maybe it could be cured.

After all, she now has a golden finger, and she can undergo surgery using the most advanced drugs and instruments.

But she just couldn't control her tears, and the more she wiped them away, the more they came. She tried hard to pick up Jin Mudan, but found that she was trembling all over and couldn't muster any strength.

Lu Ziqian wanted to go forward to help, but he felt it was not appropriate for him to hold the baby.

He could only yell at Mo Lingchen, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and hold me."

Mo Lingchen regained consciousness, took a big step forward, easily picked the person up, and walked quickly towards the city.

Jin Mudan was always huddled under the black cloak. Although she couldn't be seen, she could smell the familiar scent of sandalwood.

It was his usual incense!

Mo Lingchen could clearly feel the woman in his arms trembling and crying, but she was holding back all the cries, only occasionally a suppressed sob could be heard.
