When the woman saw Xie Cheng, she didn't yell. Instead, she walked up to Xie Cheng angrily and poked him hard with her finger. "You bastard! Why did you knock me out? Huh?"

"..."

Xie Cheng thought, if I don’t knock her out, won’t she scream?

If he attracts some people by then, how can he find clues about Master Jiang?

"Tell me, why did you knock me out?" The woman was angry and poked Xie Cheng hard again.

Xie Cheng grabbed her wrist, frowning. Since he only saw a pair of eyes and a high nose bridge, the woman was stunned on the spot.

Xie Cheng didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Is Jiang Guoshi living in the prefectural government? Tell me quickly, or I'll kill you!"

Just those eyes full of heroism made the woman stunned.

This is just the eyes, so what about the face...

The woman stopped prodding him and put her hands on her waist and said, "Show me your face and I'll tell you!"

Xie Cheng was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

The woman chuckled and said, "I said, show me your face and I'll tell you. If you don't show me, then I'm leaving now."

"..."

Xie Cheng never thought that this woman would actually want to see his face?

He raised his hand and touched the black cloth covering his face. He couldn't see anything. Why were you so curious about his face?

"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!" Xie Cheng immediately put the sword in his hand on the other's neck.

The woman rolled her eyes. "I'm the prefect's daughter. You killed me, and you think you can get away with it? Besides, isn't it a bit too cruel to say that to a girl?"

Xie Cheng frowned. What? The person standing in front of him was the prefect's daughter?

Xie Cheng relaxed his brows and put away his sword. "Are you the prefect's daughter?"

"Of course!" The woman put her hands on her waist and walked a few steps in front of him before standing in front of him. "My name is Qin Xue. What's your name? Why did you sneak into the prefecture?"

Xie Cheng had no intention of telling her. After he put away his sword, he hugged her slender waist, jumped up, and disappeared into the night.

Qin Xue's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple, and she immediately became shy.

Xie Cheng brought her to a deserted alley. After letting her go, Qin Xue said before she could say anything, "My mother said that men and women shouldn't be intimate. If you put your arm around my waist, you have to marry me!"

"...Do you know who I am? You want me to marry you?" Xie Cheng has been a guard for so many years and has never encountered such a speechless thing.

Qin Xue said disapprovingly: "I don't care who you are, since you've put your arm around my waist, you have to marry me!"

"..."

Xie Cheng didn't expect that the prefect's daughter would be so difficult to deal with!

He didn't want to waste any more time with her, so he asked directly, "Is Imperial Master Jiang in the prefecture?"

Qin Xue snorted, "I told you, I won't tell you unless you show me your face."

Xie Cheng's patience had been worn out by her. He reached out and fiercely grabbed her neck. "My patience is limited. I urge you to speak quickly, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Seeing him so cruel, Qin Xue felt very aggrieved.

She patted his hand and said, "Let me go. Isn't that enough for me?"

Xie Cheng snorted coldly and released her neck.

Qin Xue rubbed her neck, feeling a little unhappy. "You are such a jerk! I am a weak woman after all. How could you treat me like this? This is simply too much!"

"Hurry up and tell me." Xie Cheng didn't want to waste time talking to her, and his eyes immediately became threatening.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you!" Qin Xue was really convinced. How could she meet someone who didn't know how to be gentle with women?

Rolling her eyes, Qin Xue said, "Master Jiang lives in the prefectural government building, but he doesn't live on the ground floor. He lives in the basement. Besides him, there's another person. My father respects him very much, but I don't know who he is. And in the past two days, some people have come to see Master Jiang, and they also respect him very much."

Upon hearing this, Xie Cheng was shocked. It turned out that Master Jiang lived in the prefect's basement. No wonder he didn't find any clues there.

He frowned and asked quickly, "Do you know what their plan is?"

Since Master Jiang is still here, it proves that they must have a plan, otherwise they would have left long ago.

"How would I know?"

"Did you know that Master Jiang is the leader of the Blood Mist Sect?"

Qin Xue was stunned for a moment, staring at Xie Cheng in amazement. "What did you say? Master Jiang is the leader of the Blood Mist Sect?"

"Ah."

"Impossible! How could he be such an unforgivable person? You must be mistaken!" Qin Xue turned around and no longer looked at Xie Cheng.

She knew about the Blood Mist Cult. Last year, she went to her grandmother's house and saw a young girl being kidnapped in the city. Only then did she realize that it was done by people from the Blood Mist Cult.

Only then did she know what the Blood Mist Cult was about.

So she absolutely could not believe that Master Jiang was a member of the Blood Mist Sect, because if he really was a member of the Blood Mist Sect, then he would not have been able to become a high-ranking official.

"Whether you believe it or not, Jiang Guoshi is a member of the Blood Mist Cult, and he has his men capture young girls everywhere in order to use their blood to keep his wife forever young, and then refine some kind of elixir of immortality. Little girl, the world is dangerous, and I don't blame you for not understanding."

There was nothing more to ask, so Xie Cheng turned around and was about to leave.

Qin Xue called him, a little angry, "You bastard, you brought me out here, why don't you send me back? It's so dark here, what if there are bad guys? You can't just leave me here!"

Xie Cheng paused. What she said was that people’s hearts are treacherous and the world is so chaotic. If something really happens to her, won’t it cause trouble for him and the emperor?

Forget it, let’s just send her back.

Xie Cheng walked up to Qin Xue, put his arm around her waist, and sent her directly back to the prefecture.

After dropping him off, Xie Cheng went straight back to the inn without stopping for a moment.

Song Yao and the others had already gone to bed, so Xie Cheng did not disturb them and planned to tell them about this matter tomorrow.

……

The next day.

Song Yao left the room and came to Xie Cheng's door. She knocked on the door and only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Xie Cheng's voice from inside.

She has been worried since Xie Cheng left last night.

I feel confused even when I sleep.

Hearing that Xie Cheng had returned, I finally felt at ease.

After a while, Xie Cheng came out and opened the door.

Seeing that Xie Cheng was fine, Song Yao entered the room and asked, "Guard Xie, was everything okay last night?"

Xie Cheng turned to look at Song Yao, "Miss, everything went smoothly. We found out that Imperial Prefect Jiang was staying in the prefect's basement. We also learned that there was another person accompanying him. He must be the late emperor."

Song Yao sneered and said, "I didn't expect that Jiang Guoshi was actually in the prefecture. And the prefect has done something like that. It seems that these two people are really colluding!"
