Chapter 233: Go and Return

Seeing Ling Chu insisted on going out to face the people from the Wucheng Bingmasi, Ning Chuyi didn't know what to say.

The people outside knocked on the door, and Ling Chu walked towards the door with Xia Zhi.

Ning Chuyi didn't follow them, but walked away from the other side of the courtyard wall with Wei Feng and the others.

Although he brought people to put out the fire, if people saw him in Ling Chu's house, who knows what rumors would spread.

After the door opened, the person in the lead was Cao Hongxin, the commander of the Xicheng Bingmasi.

Seeing Ling Chu come out with two maids, the people outside were stunned.

Cao Hongxin's brows were even more tightly knitted, "Where is your master?"

"My master, this is my house."

Cao Hongxin looked up and down in surprise. It really surprised him that such a little girl lived in such a big house.

"What happened to your house? How could it suddenly catch fire in the middle of the night? What if the house next door catches fire? Can you afford it?" Cao Hongxin has been unhappy recently because of family matters.

After patrolling a long circle with the people of Wucheng Bingmasi at night, he was thinking about finding a place to rest, but he suddenly saw a fire on Qintai Street and hurried over.

Who knew that as soon as he ran to the vicinity, he was drenched by the sudden heavy rain.

Although the fire was extinguished by the rain and they didn't have to do anything, he and his men ran so far and were caught in the heavy rain. Everyone couldn't help but feel resentful.

Ling Chu couldn't get angry in the face of their anger.

These people came from afar to be her firefighters. Although they didn't help, they were kind after all.

Just when he wanted Xia Zhi to take some hard-earned money to express his gratitude, he suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves running towards this side.

Ling Chu raised his head subconsciously and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The person who came was Ning Chuyi, followed by Wei Feng and several other Jinyiwei.

Didn't he leave with his men? Why did he suddenly appear again?

Seeing Ning Chuyi, not only Ling Chu was surprised, but Cao Hongxin was even more surprised.

He hurriedly raised his smile and stepped forward to greet him, "Hello, Lord Ning, it's so late, why are you here?"

Ning Chuyi didn't get off the horse, but just sat on the horse and said coldly, "I saw a fire here just now, so I came to see it."

"Lord Cao, what did you find out? Why did the fire break out?"

Cao Hongxin groaned in his heart, how could he suddenly run into this killer. It would be fine if he ran into him, but when would the Jinyiwei ask about their Five City Army and Horse Division?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Cao Hongxin didn't dare to show any clues on his face. He could only smile and say, "Sir, I just came here too, and I was asking about the cause of the fire."

Fearing that Ning Chuyi would ask something else that he couldn't answer, he turned around and shouted to Ling Chuyi behind him, "Didn't you see that the lord was waiting, why didn't you come over and answer?"

Ling Chu looked at him, said nothing, and walked straight over to greet Ning Chuyi, "Hello, sir."

Ning Chuyi lowered her eyes and took a look, turned over and got off the horse, and stretched out her hand to support him, "Miss Ling, there is no need to be polite. The fire broke out in your house?"

Ling Chu saw that he asked seriously, so he could only nod seriously, "That's right."

"Do you know the cause of the fire?"

"I haven't checked it carefully yet, but I smelled kerosene at the place where the fire started. If I don't guess, it should be someone who deliberately set the fire."

Cao Hongxin, who was standing aside, looked back and forth between Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu in surprise.

How could he not know that this cold-faced killer had such a gentle side?

What is the identity of this Miss Ling?

Cao Hongxin was originally muttering in his heart, and when he heard Ling Chu's words, his heart shuddered.

He originally thought that the fire was caused by someone accidentally knocking over a candle, but he didn't expect that someone deliberately set the fire.

"Lord Cao, there are people who dare to deliberately set fire under the feet of the emperor. You Wucheng Bingma Division must search carefully to see who is so bold.

If the person who took action burns more than one family, the emperor will ask for punishment, and you Wucheng Bingma Division will have an unshirkable responsibility."

Cao Hongxin stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, "Don't worry, sir, I will search carefully."

Turned around and shouted at the subordinates around him, "What are you doing, why don't you go and check it quickly."

With Ning Chuyi watching on the side, the people of Wucheng Bingma Division did not dare to have any opinions, and quickly searched around the burning courtyard wall carefully.

Ning Chuyi only took a glance and retracted his gaze.

Seeing that Cao Hongxin was still respectfully waiting on the side, he ignored it. Instead, he asked Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, when will Master Xuanyi return to Beijing? The emperor has been talking about inviting him to the palace to preach."

"Master has always disliked worldly constraints. No one knows where he is traveling at the moment. I am also looking forward to his return to Beijing."

Originally, Ning Chuyi didn't want to be misunderstood, so he took Wei Feng and others over the wall.

Ling Chu was still wondering why he suddenly came back, but now that he specifically mentioned her master, she understood his intention.

He was worried that Commander Cao would embarrass her, so he specifically pointed out her identity.

Cao Hongxin was really surprised, "So Miss Ling is the disciple of Master Xuanyi?"

Ning Chuyi had specifically pointed out her identity, and Ling Chu didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "That's right."

Most people in the court knew that the emperor had always wanted to invite Master Xuanyi to be the national teacher, and Cao Hongxin's attitude towards Ling Chu changed all of a sudden.

He was impatient before, but now he was smiling, "So she is the disciple of Master Xuanyi. No wonder Miss Ling can afford such a big house."

Ling Chu glanced at Ning Chuyi apologetically. She could afford to live in such a big house not because of her master, but because of his blessing.

But she couldn't tell Commander Cao about this, so as not to spread it out and bring unnecessary trouble to Lord Ning.

What Ling Chu didn't expect was that Cao Hongxin glanced at Ning Chuyi, and then asked her carefully, "Miss Ling, can I ask you for a favor?"

Seeing that Ning Chuyi and Ling Chu were both looking at him, Cao Hongxin smiled, but still said with a stiff upper lip, "It's like this, I heard that if I lose something, I can find it through divination.

Some days ago, I lost some things at home, and I can't find them. I wonder if Miss Ling can help me check them out?"

It turned out that she was looking for her to tell fortunes to find things. Ling Chu didn't refuse, "Yes, I can, as for whether I can find it, I have to wait until I go to see it to know."

Although Ling Chu didn't promise that she would find it, Cao Hongxin didn't get angry. Thinking in his heart, the disciple of Xuanyi Zhenren should have some skills.

Ning Chuyi just listened quietly. Cao Hongxin was the commander of the military department of Xicheng. It would be a good thing if Ling Chu could make friends with him.

If she helped Commander Cao, he would definitely instruct the people of the Wucheng Military Department to pay more attention to the safety near her house in the future, which would also provide an extra layer of protection.

"Sir, we found an arrowhead." The people of the Wucheng Military Department searched around the fire. Although they smelled kerosene, they did not find any evidence except for a burned arrowhead.
