"Although you are very famous, and many people praise you as well, I don't know if you have any true talent or not."

"So?" Su Ruo asked.

"There are three old cases unsolved in the Anzhou area."

Su Ruo knew what Qi Muqing meant. She glanced at him indifferently, "You want me to solve these three cases?"

"That's right. As long as you can solve these three cases and the cases I've mentioned, the items in this box will belong to you." A hint of the aura of a victorious king.

Su Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Let me guess, this case must have something to do with power. It couldn't be solved even after so long. Am I right? " Otherwise, why would he specially come to find her, and even use his power and wealth to probe her? It was very likely that this case was either an official case or a harem.

Uh, harem. She did not want to return there, but for the sake of Broken Jade, she could only choose to return.

"This case occurred in the harem. No one has dared to investigate it in the past twenty years."

It really is the imperial harem. Su Ruo's indifferent expression flashed with a hint of complexity.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a buzzing sound. This sound! It's a bee used to track the black pines!

The sounds of horse hooves galloping came one after another.

Qi Muqing and the Steel Cavalry all heard the sound of hooves. Qi Muqing's cold gaze swept towards the source of the hooves, and saw that there were at least a hundred people there.

Su Ruo paused, "Young master, I'm afraid I have one more condition."

"Deal with the newcomers?" Qi Muqing asked.

"Exactly." Su Ruo raised her eyes and looked at Qi Muqing, "This isn't a bandit. Protect the village, and I'll help you solve this case."

"Are you certain that I will definitely help you protect your village?"

With regards to this, Su Ruo was very confident, "Since you're able to come here from far away, it means that you have to be me."

The dust flew in the air, but only a large number of men in black blocked the entrance of the village instantly.

When the black-clothed man saw Qi Muqing, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. Su Ruo saw that this black-clothed man had some sort of relationship with Qi Muqing.

"Third brother, what are your black-robed guards doing here in this desolate mountain range?"

The leader didn't expect Qi Muqing to recognize him. He immediately dismounted and bowed to Qi Muqing. "Your subordinate didn't know that the Seventh Prince was here. I've troubled you to death."

"Speak, why are you here?"

In that instant, Su Ruo could feel a chilling aura emitting from Qi Muqing's body, so cold that it could cause a person's heart to tremble.

"This …" The leader was sweating. Of all the princes, only the Seventh Prince was the scariest. No one could fathom his emotions. No one could guess what he was thinking. He was cold-blooded, ruthless, decisive, murderous.

At this time, one of the black-clothed men spoke up, "Reporting to Seventh Prince, this was a confidential matter, but Seventh Master is not an outsider, so this servant will be frank." Yesterday, when that Fourteenth Prince was attacked by bandits on his way back to the capital, the Third Prince received the news and immediately sent us to find Fourteenth Prince. "

"Oh?" Qi Muqing raised an eyebrow. Third brother is in the capital, Lan Ling. Even if you travel day and night, you still wouldn't be able to reach here so quickly. "

The leader spoke up. "Seventh Prince forgot. The Emperor told Third Prince to pick up the 14th Prince at the border."

The high-ranking officer next to Qi Muqing moved closer to him and whispered a few words into his ear. Only then did Qi Muqing say, "You can go look for him. If you find him, tell him to tell me."

Su Ruo looked at the leader of the men in black carefully, then looked at the men in black. It seemed that the Fourteenth Prince had provoked quite a powerful force. Yesterday, the ones chasing him were a group of people, and today, these men in black who relied on bees to track him were another group of people. The battle for the royal family was still as intense as before.

The leader glanced inside the village and said with an obsequious smile, "Seventh Prince, can you let me go inside the village and look around?"

Qi Muqing didn't say anything. He glanced at Su Ruo, who said calmly, "No outsiders have come to our village. Since you're here to look for someone, that person shouldn't be hiding from you, right?"

Su Ruo's words made the leader of the black-clothed men speechless. Although his face was full of smiles, he had already killed Su Ruo millions of times in his heart. The Third Prince told him to find the Fourteenth Prince no matter what, but the Seventh Prince screwed him up. Not to mention this woman in disguise stopped him, could it be that the Fourteenth Prince was really in this village? The bees couldn't find their way around this area, and there was only one village nearby.

"Did you hear what she said?"

The leader refused to give up. "Seventh Prince, if this little girl is lying and wants to hide the Fourteenth Prince from the government for money." Now, it seemed, it would be impossible to complete the Third Marquis' orders, and his identity had already been exposed.

"She is the person I want to invite to the capital." A hint of displeasure could be heard in his voice.

The leader hurriedly apologized, "I have no intention of offending Seventh Prince."

Su Ruo looked at Su Xiaoyi's hand gesture and said, "You guys go in and search. Don't disturb the villagers."

The leader glanced at Qi Muqing, who waved his hand slightly. Only now did he lead the men behind him into the village.

After searching for a while, he still could not find the person he was looking for.

The leader of the men in black apologized to Qi Muqing, but Qi Muqing did not make things difficult for him, and told him to continue looking for the Fourteenth Prince.

The leader looked at Su Ruo and said with a flattering smile, "I wonder why Seventh Prince wants to bring this lady to the capital?"

"Don't tell me I have to report to you about my work?"

"No, no, no, no. This subordinate will go find the 14th Prince right away." Afraid of infuriating Qi Muqing, the leader led the group of men in black away.

Su Ruo looked at the black clothed man in the distance and leisurely said, "They are very afraid of you."

"They aren't afraid of me. They are afraid of the Seventh Prince's status."

"That's true." After confirming that the group of men in black wouldn't come back, Su Ruo said, "Let me go back and pack up."

Su Ruo was about to turn around and leave when Qi Muqing grabbed her arm and stared straight at her. "Fourteenth Brother, are you here?"

Su Ruo glanced at the hand holding her arm, "If I said I wasn't there, would you believe me?"

Her arms were so soft and boneless that he couldn't help but be reluctant to let her go. "I don't believe you." "No," he said.

Su Ruo stared at her hand that hadn't let go yet. The heat coming from her palm made her at a loss of what to do. How long had it been since a stranger touched her?

"Then, can I believe you?" She raised her gaze to meet his.

Their gazes met, and in that instant, their hearts palpitated.

"If he is here, you will only bring disaster to the village if you keep him here. You should know this better than I do."
