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

Chapter 367 Identity Exposed

The unwilling voice of the Chrysanthemum Fairy came from a distance.

"Just wait, I'm afraid of you! Next time, you won't be so lucky." Xu Yingying retorted unyieldingly.

After dealing with the Chrysanthemum Fairy, Xu Yingying was ready to turn around and look at Li Siqi behind her.

Xu Yingying raised the sword in her hand diagonally, completely unaware that Li Siqi was standing behind her. The tip of the sword scratched Li Siqi's face and knocked off his human skin mask.

All this happened in an instant, and neither of them reacted.

Xu Yingying looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her, her face full of question marks. As for Li Siqi, his whole body was a little stiff, and he stood there at a loss.

It took a long time for Li Siqi to react.

"I'm sorry, this is my real identity. I have no other thoughts about you. I'm just worried that you won't accept me, so I concealed my identity and approached you."

He explained hurriedly, fearing that Xu Yingying would misunderstand him.

In fact, Xu Yingying didn't take it to heart. She had already recognized that Xiao Hao in front of her was Emperor Li Siqi. Through their contact over this period of time, the two of them got along quite well with each other.

Besides, Li Siqi had no intention of framing her along the way, so Xu Yingying naturally wouldn't have any extra thoughts.

Even though Li Siqi's identity was exposed, she didn't resist much. Seeing Xu Yingying's reaction, Li Siqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she doesn't hate herself.

"It's over now. You should pack up and go back to your room to rest. They have to get up early and leave tomorrow morning."

"There's no need to say more about the rest. I understand your mentality. Don't worry, I won't take these little things to heart."

Xu Yingying behaved very generously. After all, apart from anything else, the two of them had experienced a lot along the way, and she could feel the love that Li Siqi had buried deep in his heart.

"Okay, then it's as you said."

Li Siqi didn't say much. The two of them tidied up their messy clothes separately, then walked back to the inn together.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened at this time. They had never expected that there was an ambush at the inn. The Chrysanthemum Fairy was injured. According to the two's thinking, it was impossible for him to come and cause trouble for them again in a short time.

This is also true. The key person who ambushed them was not the Chrysanthemum Fairy, but the believers that the Chrysanthemum Fairy had accumulated over the years. No one knew where they got the information from, but a group of people directly surrounded Li Siqi and Xu Yingying.

There were many experts among them, and they were numerous and powerful, and some of them were ignorant common people. The two men could not bear to take action, and after wasting a day, they were surrounded by the other side. It was not so easy to leave at this time.

The two were tied together and then brought to the mansion surrounded by believers.

"These people are too crazy. They actually believe that the Chrysanthemum Fairy is a deity."

Li Siqi was somewhat helpless. The common people were ignorant. Anyone without knowledge would never believe the nonsense told by the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

Xu Yingying did not comment on this. Instead of complaining, it would be better to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

The two of them injured the Chrysanthemum Fairy. Judging from the current madness of these believers, they will never let them go. If they don't find a way to leave, they will surely die.

"The Chrysanthemum Fairy is good at bewitching people, so it's normal for her to control some people through special means."

Xu Yingying approached Li Siqi cautiously. To be honest, she was a little worried because she was surrounded by so many people, most of whom were holding torches in their hands.

The expressions on their faces looked extremely exaggerated. They did not have the seven emotions and six desires of normal people. Their eyes were lifeless, and they kept repeating the words "avenge the Chrysanthemum Fairy" in their mouths. They were like mindless puppets, with only the Chrysanthemum Fairy in their minds.

"Master Priest, how should we deal with these two lunatics? They have angered the Chrysanthemum Fairy and we must not let them go easily, otherwise we will not be able to explain to the Chrysanthemum Fairy. If we anger the Fairy, we will not be able to bear the punishment."

One of the believers spoke, and Xu Yingying and Li Siqi followed his gaze and saw an old man in a long robe standing in the middle of the crowd. He was the high priest that these believers were talking about.

This old man has had many contacts with the Chrysanthemum Fairy, and the Yin energy in him is extremely strong.

He is probably a representative arranged by the Chrysanthemum Fairy, responsible for contacting these annoying people and helping to deal with some matters that the Chrysanthemum Fairy is not convenient to deal with.

"I suggest setting fire to them both to relieve the hatred of the Chrysanthemum Fairy."

"When dealing with this kind of lunatic, you can't be polite at all. This is the best solution."

This proposal quickly attracted a lot of support from the crowd, and the vast majority of people said that burning them both to death would be the best outcome.

After a while, the priest spoke up and approved the believers' proposal.

"Since this is everyone's unanimous decision, let's make arrangements and get ready as soon as possible to burn them both to death."

Hearing this, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying in the room suddenly showed panic on their faces. Few people could remain calm in the face of a life-and-death crisis. Fortunately, both of them were not ordinary people, and they quickly calmed down after the initial panic.

Xu Yingying looked around the house. The windows on both sides were nailed shut, but there was still a skylight at the top.

"The two of us can find a way to escape through the skylight, but you have to cooperate with me to untie the ropes on your body first."

"Turn around and let me try."

With the cooperation of the two, the rope on Xu Yingying was quickly untied by him, and then Li Siqi also broke free from the restraints.

It gradually became quiet outside. Xu Yingying stepped on Li Siqi's shoulder and successfully escaped from the skylight, then opened the door and let Li Siqi out.

However, the two were ultimately one step behind, and when they were leaving they accidentally bumped into the followers of the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

"These two maniacs are trying to escape, come here quickly."

There was no time to stop them. This was the enemy's base camp with a large number of people. They just heard a loud shout from the other side, and soon the masters surrounded them again.

"You dare to run away, you don't know what's good for you. Push them both to the backstage immediately. I don't think we need to wait for an auspicious day. It's better to do it now. Send them both away now."

The priest arrived at the scene very quickly. Seeing this scene, his face turned ugly. It was a small matter to let the two escape, but it was a big matter to anger the Chrysanthemum Fairy.

"Yes."

"Please ask the witch to perform a ritual and invite the Chrysanthemum Fairy to appear and watch the ceremony."

The two were soon pushed onto the fire platform. The group was very formal, with most of the believers wearing special costumes, and there was also a witch preparing to perform a ritual in the audience.

Judging from their proficiency, it is very likely that this is not the first time they have done this, and many people have probably been framed by them before.

These people are crazy. Maybe the Chrysanthemum Fairy has bewitched their minds from the beginning, but now they are doing all this according to their own conscience.
