After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 181: Attacked

Unfortunately, Li Siming still doesn’t know Rao Qingji well enough.

Rao Qingji had a good influence on Li Siqi and Xu Yingying. Although Xu Yingying concealed her identity and approached him, there is no doubt that Xu Yingying did not do anything to harm Rao Qingji and the refugees.

"Impossible, I won't help you to harm others." Rao Qingji refused without hesitation.

As soon as these words came out, Li Siming's expression changed instantly, "Are you serious? I'll give you one last chance to consider it."

Rao Qingji snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Even if you give me ten more chances, I will not follow you to harm others for no reason."

Li Siming was instantly angered by Rao Qingji's attitude. He was the prince and he could get whatever he wanted. No one had ever dared to refuse him, and Rao Qingji was the first one.

"Okay, very good. Since you are so ungrateful and don't take soft measures, I will grant your wish today."

After saying that, Li Siming waved his hand and said to his men, "Come here, teach this ignorant man a lesson."

After saying that, a few strong men came out from the corner, holding sticks in their hands and looking at Rao Qingji with ill intentions.

Rao Qingji had been among the refugees for so long and had served in the army, how could he not have some skills?

Soon, Rao Qingji and Li Siming's men became entangled with each other.

"Since you don't go after Xu Yingying and Li Siqi and still trust their character, then I will go after them for you and pretend that you killed them. Then you can see if they will believe you or not."

Li Siming kills people and destroys their hearts.

"You are despicable and shameless." Rao Qingji said to Li Siming with gritted teeth.

"Hahaha, whatever you say." Li Siming suddenly became happy when he saw that Rao Qingji was unhappy.

This is what happens when you go against him.

At this time, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were unaware of what was happening. They were strolling leisurely on the street. This was a rare quiet day since Li Siming came.

The two were chatting, and Li Siqi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked very serious.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yingying was a little at a loss.

"Someone is following us." Li Siqi frowned slightly.

When Xu Yingying heard this, she was speechless. They really didn't even intend to let her spend a single day of leisure.

"Who do you think is following us? Rao Qingji?" Xu Yingying asked curiously.

Li Siqi shook his head and denied it: "It's not like his style. If he wanted to track us down, he wouldn't let us go back."

Xu Yingying nodded in agreement when she heard this, "Indeed."

"That's... Li Siming?" Xu Yingying asked hesitantly.

Li Siqi nodded, "It's probably him."

When Xu Yingying heard this, she felt overwhelmed. This Li Siming was like a heroic spirit, he was everywhere.

"Then what should we do next?" Xu Yingying sighed helplessly.

"What else can we do? Let's act separately. I'll lure him out, and you go get reinforcements." Li Siqi said.

"No, you are better at martial arts than me and more efficient. You go get help and I will buy time." Xu Yingying retorted.

Li Siqi hesitated for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Okay, then you be careful."

After saying that, he jumped onto the roof, while Xu Yingying ran in a completely opposite direction.

The sudden scene confused the pursuers. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The leading pursuer pointed decisively in the direction Xu Yingying was running and said, "Go this way. This guy is short and low, so it's easier to chase him."

"Yes, my lord."

After saying that, a group of people chased in the direction Xu Yingying escaped.

Xu Yingying kept shuttling back and forth in the alley, and at this critical moment, Camellia appeared.

Camellia waved her hand and a gust of cold wind blew down the wooden boards on the wall of the alley, buying more time for Xu Yingying to escape.

Xu Yingying was slightly surprised to see Camellia. "Where did you go this afternoon? Why are you here at this time?"

Camellia said helplessly: "Master, I have been following Rao Qingji out of curiosity, but now it's bad, something big has happened, Rao Qingji has been asked out by Li Siming."

"Li Siming paid Rao Qingji to kill you, but Rao Qingji refused. So Li Siming decided to hunt down both of you, making you think you were hunting each other, and then kill each other."

Xu Yingying felt something was wrong when she heard this. "That won't work. I have to go save Rao Qingji." Then she rushed to the teahouse where Rao Qingji and Li Siming were meeting.

At the same time, Li Siqi returned to the mansion with a group of men and rushed to rescue Xu Yingying, but when he came to the alley where he and Xu Yingying separated, he did not find Xu Yingying.

Li Siqi's plan was immediately ruined, and he immediately sent his men to search the entire city for Xu Yingying.

Inside the teahouse.

Li Siming looked at the already wounded Rao Qingji and immediately revealed a satisfied smile. He couldn't help but said sarcastically, "I told you to be blind and go against me. Now you are done for, right? I tell you, this is the result of offending me."

After saying this, Li Siming leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

At this moment, Li Siming's men suddenly walked up to Li Siming's ear and said, "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince and his men are looking for Xu Yingying everywhere, and they will find us soon."

Li Siming was stunned when he heard this. He came here intending to do something behind the scenes to deal with Li Siqi, and he had no intention of having a head-on conflict with Li Siqi.

If Li Siqi saw me beating Rao Qingji here and letting Rao Qingji assassinate him, wouldn't I be caught red-handed and fall into a trap?

When he thought of this, Li Siming felt that this was not a good idea and he had to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

So he waved his hand and said to his men, "Stop, stop fighting."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped immediately.

Li Siming looked at Rao Qingji, who was beaten black and blue and looked unrecognizable, and couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune: "You are lucky today. Someone came to save you. You won't be so lucky next time."

"Okay, let's go!"

Just like that, Li Siming led a group of people and left the teahouse in a mighty manner, leaving Rao Qingji alone lying half-dead on the ground.

When Xu Yingying and Li Siming arrived, they saw only Rao Qingji fainted on the floor of the teahouse.

Seeing Rao Qingji covered in wounds, the two men hurriedly sent him to his residence and called a doctor to treat him.

After a careful examination of Rao Qingji, the doctor concluded that Rao Qingji had only suffered skin injuries, with no damage to his internal organs. His life was not in danger, but he needed to rest carefully for a period of time.

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi were relieved when they heard this. Rao Qingji was a man with a strong sense of justice. He had never done anything to hurt innocent people from beginning to end, so they still hoped that Rao Qingji could get through this disaster safely.
