With Qiao Xi's words in mind, Lai Chijiao automatically assumed that the girl was his daughter. When he heard that her face was dug out alive, the old father was furious.

"Damn it, damn it eunuch! I'm going to tear him into pieces and dig up his entire ancestry..."

Qiao Xi was also shocked.

She really didn't know that her face had been gouged in her previous life.

She didn't even bother explaining to Laibajiao that Cao Ying was a woman, and hurriedly asked Anzi, "Besides that, do you remember what the girl looked like?"

The person who escaped from Cao Ying's secret village might not be only the barefoot daughter. What if there were other children? They were not talking about the same person. If they looked for them based on the feature of the gouged face, they would be making a mistake.

An Zi nodded hesitantly, "I still have some impression."

Qiao Xi immediately asked Xu An to find a painter.

The painter, originally an official at the government office, had some skills and was constantly adjusting the portrait based on the spy's description. Before the portrait was completely finished, Laibajiao excitedly said to Qiao Xi, "It's Fu'er, it's my Fu'er. You didn't lie to me, you really didn't lie to me. My Fu'er is not dead."

He suddenly knelt down and bowed towards the southwest. "Zhi Niang, did you see that? Our Fu'er is not dead. You must bless her, and also bless me to find her sooner..."

At the end of his speech, he actually prostrated himself on the ground and cried bitterly, and everyone present was moved.

Xu An thought of his sister and could understand Lai Chijiao's feelings. He helped Lai Chijiao up and whispered in his ear, "Believe in Qiao Xi, she will do her best to find someone for you.

She also helped me find my sister, and we will also help you keep an eye on your daughter's whereabouts."

After being reminded by him, Lai Chijiao hurriedly bowed to Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi stopped him, "You don't have to do this. I promised you."

It’s just that the child was rescued by someone in the capital five years ago, and then completely disappeared. I’m afraid that person is no longer in the capital.

Dayou is not a small country. Even the secret factory cannot find the person. Either she has changed her appearance, or she is hiding in a place that is not easily discovered by the secret agents.

The girl was only ten years old at the time, and it would be difficult for her to escape the pursuit of the spies on her own. The clue still had to lie with the man who saved her.

It was that man who hid her.

She handed Anzi two hundred taels of silver and said, "Think about it again. Is there anything special about that man?"

She had just said that she would reward those who had made contributions. The assassin's previous pursuit of the bald, barefoot girl was a thing of the past, but it was now a new chapter for her. Now, providing clues about the bald, barefoot girl would be a reward.

Anzi swallowed and took it tentatively.

Although they worked hard for the emperor, their monthly salary was not high. They would only receive silver rewards if they made great contributions. However, after being exploited at all levels, they did not get much in return. After getting the silver, they had to give some to their superiors.

Otherwise, a thankless task or even a life-threatening one will easily fall on you. The hidden agents are the cheapest labor force in the palace.

These two hundred taels were indeed a huge fortune for him.

It also made the other spies gradually feel hopeful about following Qiao Xi.

The man tightly grasped the banknote, closed his eyes, and tried hard to recall the scene. After a long while, he suddenly said excitedly, "I remember now. That man had a snake, and it bit one of his accomplices."

Qiao Xixin suddenly asked, "What kind of snake? Or what color is it?"

Anzi shook his head. "I don't know about that. There was a fight going on between the two sides, and it was very chaotic. I only remember the man who was bitten said that the man had a snake hidden on his body."

An absurd thought came to Qiao Xi's mind, but it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Or maybe she was still thinking about Su Heting in her heart, so she subconsciously thought about him in everything.

But she had only seen Su Heting as a man with a snake on his body.

Moreover, when the leprous barefoot daughter escaped, it was just after the Crown Prince was in trouble. Could it be that the Crown Prince returned to the capital after being resurrected, and happened to encounter Fu'er who was being hunted...

"You said that girl stole Cao Ying's medical book, so does that mean she can also practice medicine?"

Anzi nodded, "Yes, she is also good at poison. The superiors warned us to be careful of her poisoning when we were looking for someone."

It actually matches.

Qiao Xi looked at Lai Chijiao and said, "Perhaps Zhi Niang is really blessing you and your daughter. Come with me to the northern part of Xinjiang."

"Do you have any clues about my daughter?"

Lai Chijiao heard that there was something else behind her words.

Qiao Xi originally wanted to wait until it was confirmed before telling him, but seeing how excited he was, she finally said, "I'm not sure, don't get your hopes up.

But my husband's sister is indeed a fifteen-year-old girl, and she is good at treating poisons, and my husband has snakes."

If he had taken Fu'er into the mountains at that time, it would have been difficult for the secret agents to track them down.

"I'll go with you. When do we leave?"

Lai Chijiao couldn't wait any longer.

Qiao Xi thought for a moment and said, "I still have some things to discuss with General Xu. You guys go and rest for a while, and we'll set off in the evening."

If Su Que is really Fu'er, then Lai Chijiao will do his best to detoxify Su Heting because Su Heting saved his daughter.

No matter how anxious Lai Chijiao was, he could not help but go back to the yard to pack up his things.

"If the prince's sister is really the daughter of the leper doctor, then it means that the dog emperor and Cao Ying have committed so many evil things that even the heavens can no longer bear it and have sent you a helping hand."

After the people left, Xu An sighed.

He felt that since Laibajiao could cure the poison in the dark factory, his medical skills must be extraordinary. If war really came, a good doctor would be as important as a master.

And with Qiao Xi's strange internal strength, maybe he also has a way.

Qiao Xi also hopes that there really are such coincidences in this world.

I felt a little regretful that I didn't know more about Su Que's situation before.

However, regret was useless, so she had to deal with the matter at hand. She ordered, "Go find five bodies and parade them through the streets to demonstrate to the emperor."

These spies were sent by Cao Ying without the emperor's knowledge.

If the news of their deaths reached the emperor, he would certainly feel offended and provoked by Xu An. He could not send troops to attack Xu An, so he could only vent his anger on Cao Ying.

Qiao Xi wanted Cao Ying to be gradually disliked by the emperor, and the two of them would become estranged.

Xu An understood what Qiao Xi meant. After giving the order, he pretended to pat his chest and jokingly said, "Eighth Master, I'm afraid the Emperor will hate me to death for provoking me like this. Remember to ask the Prince to give me a few more men."

He never has too many experts.

Qiao Xi looked at him and said, "The emperor won't send anyone to kill you again, at least not now."

As a dignified king, he did not dare to confront Xu An face to face, and could only assassinate him secretly. As a result, Xu An exposed the matter openly, and the world would only think that the emperor was guilty.

For the sake of that false reputation, he would not let anyone assassinate Xu An again.

Xu An thought about it and then heard Qiao Xi say, "The prince said that in the future all of Jichuan's territory will belong to us."

Xu An glared, then clapped his hands, "It has to be our prince, worthy of being our prince, so generous."

But he knew in his heart that Su Heting had completely treated Qiao Xi as his own, and from now on, the south and north of Xinjiang would be one family.

Qiao Xi thought that the premise of Su Heting's words was that he had drugged her, and her thoughts wandered to Su Heting's gentleness before he lost consciousness that night.

Qiao Xi's heart couldn't help but soften, and she quickly changed the subject to discuss business with Xu An. After the two of them finished talking and had dinner at Xu's house, Qiao Xi took Lai Chijiao and his group and rode back to northern Xinjiang.

As soon as I arrived in northern Xinjiang, I heard Xiaoman say that Ji Yao had been out for the past two days and met two guards sent by Ji Chuan to deliver a letter to Su Heting.

The two guards had arrived in northern Xinjiang before, but they never had the chance to see Su Heting. After Su Heting went to recuperate from the poison, he also hid his whereabouts. They couldn't find him, so they could only wait in northern Xinjiang.

Because the letter could only be delivered to Su Heting in person, he didn't expect that it would be mixed up with Ji Yao, who had bad intentions.

Xiaoman said, "Those two people are now living in the backyard of the Yao family shop. Ji Yao meets with them every day. They must be plotting something.

But those two guards are quite skilled in martial arts, so Changsheng and I dare not get close to them for fear of being discovered. Sister Xi, what do you think she wants to do?"

Qiao Xi curled the corners of her mouth slightly. What could Ji Yao be plotting? She just wanted to be Su Heting's woman and kill her.
