Chapter 261 - Traveling after eating your fill

"What do you want?" Wei Qing's voice trembled.

"I'll help you massage it."

"Just … just kneading?" She was at a loss for words.

Xiao Qingqian frowned and asked with interest. "Could it be that you think this duke should do something?"

Wei Qing gasped: "You better hurry up and think of a way, how can you get out of here! Also, if word of this gets out, a dignified Prince Chu like you will be sent to jail. I reckon you won't have any face left, right? "

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows, "That makes some sense."

Wei Qing wanted to continue speaking, but his hand suddenly landed on a hard object on his jade belt, and anxiously took it out.

"Xiao Qingqian, didn't you say you didn't wear a waist pendant?"

Xiao Qingqian's gaze stiffened. He really did not think that Wei Qing would actually be so cunning as to find a waist pendant that symbolized his identity as a prince.

"What else do you have to say?" Wei Qing stared at him angrily, struggling to get up from his body to go call the jailer, but Xiao Qingqian covered his mouth.

"Uuu... Uuu... "Let go!"

"Didn't you hear anything when you first entered the town?" Xiao Qingqian whispered into her ear.

"What do you mean?" She really hadn't noticed anything amiss just now.

"It has nothing to do with us. What do you mean?" Wei Qing blinked her eyes.

"Just now, those aunties were together. They said that a great bandit appeared in the town recently and tortured and killed women. Furthermore, he even took out his heart …"

The dungeon was gloomy, although Wei Qing was not afraid of these things, but hearing her heart being pulled out, she still felt chills down her spine.

Swallowing her saliva, she looked at Xiao Qingqian with incomparable seriousness, "So, we are treated as bandits?"

Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows but did not comment.

Wei Qing thought for a while. No wonder the constables had stared at the two tiger claws and treated them as thieves.

"They only need to undo it to know that it is a tiger's claw. It isn't a woman's heart, is it?" Wei Qing frowned.

"However, the people's hearts are unsteady. I'm sure that the magistrate wants them to stabilize as soon as possible." Xiao Qingqian explained.

Wei Qing bit her lips, remained silent, and continued, "Could it be that he will very soon give the order to behead someone in public?"

Xiao Qingqian pinched her cheeks, "Smart!"

"But we are not!"

They were not perverts who would kill without batting an eye. Even if they wanted to calm the people down and kill them, the real murderer was still at large.

"Calm down. How can This King allow anyone to harm This King and This King's wangfei?"

In the courthouse lobby.

When the magistrate heard that a great bandit had been caught, he became very excited. He quickly asked the constable to open the package, and when the two tiger claws appeared in front of them, everyone couldn't help but gasp for breath.

The constable was startled, "Did I make a mistake?"

The County Magistrate stared at the tiger claws and pondered for a moment. Then, he said coldly, "They are the great bandits of Jiang Yang. Immediately send orders to this official to behead them at noon!"

The Grand Master hastily suggested, "Sir, should we write a note and send it to the palace?"

The County Magistrate really couldn't rest or eat at night. If he didn't settle this matter quickly, he was afraid that he would drown in the saliva of the commoners.

"Do as I say!" The County Magistrate had already decided that even if they weren't the ones who were able to obtain the two tiger claws, they definitely weren't some simple good people.

With this thought in mind, he hardened his heart. He would rather kill a thousand wrongly than to let off even one of them.

Very quickly, the prison warden appeared in the dungeon.

"For you to be able to meet our lord, it must be Heaven's will. Quickly eat your meal and get you on your way!"

The anger in Wei Qing's heart was pushed to the extreme, "Your master is blind!"

Xiao Qingqian was really curious how much strength Wei Qing had, after being tormented for so long, and after fighting with a tiger last night, could it be that she was not tired at all?

Wei Qing caught the mischievous smile in his eyes, and a knot appeared between his brows. "Xiao Qingqian, what kind of expression is that?"

Xiao Qingqian elegantly picked up the dishes in front of his and measured it with his hand, "It's quite sumptuous."

"There's poison in your heart!"

"You're quite cautious."

Wei Qing sighed, "Have you noticed that every time we get together, something bad happens?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"We're not suitable. Haven't you found out?"

"Every time I stay with my wangfei, there will always be strange and strange things to deal with. This King and my wangfei will always settle things together. I don't think anyone will be as lucky as this duke …"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Qing's heart was filled with anxiety. She took out a steamed bun and stuffed it into Xiao Qingqian's mouth.

Xiao Qingqian rolled his eyes, and directly fell to the ground.

Wei Qing was startled, the worry in her heart magnified to the extreme.

"Xiao Qingqian?" She shook him vigorously, her hand on his pulse as she listened attentively.

Her pulse was very weak. Other than the Awakening Dan's poison, she did not seem to have been poisoned by any other poison.

Then why did he suddenly lose his breath?

Wei Qing was anxious, "Xiao Qingqian, you can't die, if you die, what should I do?"

The corner of Xiao Qingqian's mouth hooked up as he reached out with his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment. Then, he unhappily punched him.

His fist just happened to land on his shoulder, and blood started to gush out again, causing his expression to suddenly change from the pain.

"This King only saw that you were too tense and teasing. There's no need for you to be like this, right?"

Wei Qing rolled his eyes fiercely at him, "I can't be bothered to tell you these random things. You'd better not talk to me before you leave here. "

With that, she broke away from his embrace and sat down in a corner.

Xiao Qingqian looked at her furious expression and smiled.

"He wanted to attack me in the middle of the afternoon, and it didn't take long."

"You!" Wei Qing clenched her teeth, "I really want to poison you to death."

Xiao Qingqian could not help but smile, "Didn't you just say that you did not want to talk to me?"

Wei Qing was about to go crazy because of him.

It was already noon. What confidence did he have to not let her die here?

Very soon, the sound of footsteps came from inside the dungeon again. Xiao Qingqian cast a glance at Wei Qing, and said to her: "In a while, listen to this king, do not speak carelessly."

Wei Qing curled her lips.

Just as the jailer was about to put on the shackles for them, Xiao Qingqian's eyes turned cold with anger, "Let the magistrate come here!"

The constable laughed at his words, "Who do you think you are? "He's just a thief who endangers the people, why would the lord of our county come to see you?"

Xiao Qingqian said softly, "If he doesn't come, and if things get out of hand, things will get bad!"
