Qin Xin grabbed Xiaolan and said, "Xiaolan, don't panic, make a decision after making a decision if you have something to say." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xiaolan still didn't follow, and said anxiously: "Miss, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late for them to chase after you." ”
Du Qi said: "Let's talk about it first." ”
Qin Xin seemed to wake up suddenly, and said, "Yes, yes, come in!" As he spoke, he pulled Xiaolan into the house.
Duge hurriedly bolted the door and said, "Go upstairs and talk." After finishing speaking, he first led the way with a burning candle, led the two of them into Qin Xin's room and sat down, poured a bowl of cool white for Xiaolan, and then blew out the candle and said, "Drink some water if you have something, but the voice should be quieter." ”
Xiaolan took the water bowl, drank it in one gulp, and said as if she was still unfinished: "Miss, Du, Childe, why are you here?" ”
Although it was in the dark, Du Qi could clearly see the expressions on Qin Xin and Xiaolan's faces, and couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "This is my home and Xin'er's home, fortunately, Sister Xiaolan is here, and the three of us will live here carefree in the future, don't worry about anything, don't ask anything, don't be afraid of anything!" ”
Xiao Lan showed an unexpectedly unexpected look on her face, but Qin Xin said: "Xiao Lan, don't listen to his nonsense, tell me quickly, what happened to you, and you have to run around in the middle of the night?" ”
Xiao Lan trembled suddenly, looked around in horror, but couldn't see anything in the darkness, and suddenly cried sadly: "Miss, the master, the lady, the son, the young lady and the young lady and the aunt have all been arrested and put in prison. ”
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Qin Xin suddenly heard Xiaolan's words, only to feel a "buzz", which shocked her mind to a blank and nothing else, all her thinking and perception froze at this moment, but she could clearly feel the numbness and stiffness of the whole body, a heart sank straight down, as if falling into a bottomless abyss endlessly, and the blood in the whole body seemed to be draining with the sinking heart, flooding with hot flashes, powerlessly arousing fine sweat.
Hearing this news, although Du Qi didn't know what was going on, he couldn't help but be shocked, seeing Qin Xin's appearance, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said: "Xin'er, Xin'er, don't you want to be like this, can you cry?" ”
Qin Xin still sat there without saying a word, her eyes staring vacantly ahead in the dark. After a long time, under the worry of Du Qi and Xiao Lan, he waved his sleeves and wiped his moist eyes, and said calmly as if nothing happened: "Xiao Lan, you tell me the ins and outs of the matter in detail, don't hide anything!" ”
Xiaolan said: "That day fell into the river, I thought I would die, fortunately I was rescued by Shen Shen, we were along the river for several days, but there was no news at all, and then we heard the information that the old man and the old lady were in prison, so we rushed back to the capital to inquire about the situation, only to know that in addition to the old man and the old lady, there were also young masters, young grandmothers, young ladies and aunts. Shen joined the army and prepared to rescue the master, but he was not allowed to enter. ”
Xiaolan took a sip of the cold boiled water that Du Qi poured again, and continued: "At this time, I unexpectedly learned the news of Miss, Shen Senjun took me to inquire about Miss's whereabouts in this area, and just left the inn this morning I was surrounded by a group of Praetorian Guards and four or five masters, I fought to the death but could not escape, and I was caught with all my strength, fortunately Shen Senjun saw the opportunity to break through, and told me not to be afraid, he would find a way to save me, but in the end I escaped." ”
Listening to Xiaolan's narration, Qin Xin looked at Du Qi as if he had lost his mind, Du Qi thought for a while and asked, "Where did you get the news about your master and others being arrested and imprisoned?" ”
Xiaolan said: "It was Shen who came back from the army." ”
Du Qi said: "So, Xiaolan, do you think this news is true?" ”
Xiaolan said: "It's true, we also went to visit the prison, I saw with my own eyes that the master and they are all in prison." ”
Du Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Is it true that all of their family except Xin'er are in prison?" ”
Xiaolan thought for a while: "It seems that the seventh prince is not here, yes, I didn't see the seventh prince in prison!" ”
Duqi said, "How many days have you been here?" ”
Xiaolan said: "The two of us have been here for more than four days. ”
Du Qi said: "Is the news about Xin'er here also heard by Shen Senjun?" And you don't know how Shen Senjun heard about it, right? ”
Xiao Lan was surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Du Qi said: "Xiaolan, you tell me in detail what you escaped just now!" ”
Xiaolan looked at Qin Xin, and when she saw Qin Xin nodding in agreement, she said: "It may be that those people heard that Shen Senjun said that they were coming to save me, and they were not in a hurry to put me in a cell, but took me to wander around the streets, and at the same time set up an ambush, ready to capture Shen Senjun, who came to save me, but Shen Senjun did not come until it was long after dark." They were about to put me in prison when they heard someone shouting, 'Run, the bandits are coming into the city.' Then I heard shouts and screams from the direction of the west gate, and I heard someone shouting: 'The bandits have come in through the west gate, run through the east gate!' There was a sudden uproar in the streets, and the people ran in a panic towards the east gate. By this time the acupuncture I had been restrained had untied on its own, and seeing that the men who had escorted me were exhausted, I blended into the crowd as a fleeing crowd passed by. ”
Xiaolan seemed to be still in the tense atmosphere at that time, sighed, and continued: "The people who escorted me saw that I was mixed into the group, and hurriedly shouted and chased after me. At that time, I was afraid that I was tired and hungry, and I couldn't run at all, and when I saw those people chasing me, I quickly hid in the pyre of a small alley, and when those people passed, I ran in the opposite direction, and turned a few streets randomly, and saw that there was no one on the street, and I was worried to death, but I didn't expect to meet you here. ”
Du Qi suddenly said, "Quick, let's go to the secret room!" ”
Qin Xin exclaimed in confusion, "What are you doing in the secret room?" ”
Du Qi said: "Xin'er, can you be quiet?" If it's late, it will change, come with me! ”
Qin Xin was slightly stunned, and then pulled Xiaolan to follow behind Du Qi. Du Qi first led them to the kitchen, collected all the leftover steamed buns and steamed buns, and brought them into the secret room along with three buckets of water. Du Qi said: "Before I come back, you must not go out here!" ”
Qin Xin said, "Are you going to go out?" Xuan shouted again: "If you don't come back, won't we starve to death here?" ”
Du Qi smiled: "You still don't believe you stupid, if you eat all the things here and I haven't come back, it can only mean one thing, that is, I will never come back again, don't you know how to go out at that time?" If that's the case, you'd better get out of here at once! ”
Qin Xin was stunned when she heard this, and said angrily: "You don't want to take care of my business for a long time, and now you have this opportunity and don't run away?" Certainly won't be coming back! Xuan said gently: "Duqi, you have to be careful, I will always be here and wait for you to come back!" ”
Du Qi said no more, but waved his hand to say goodbye to the two women, sealed the door of the secret room, flashed out of a small window in the attic, and crouched in the dark shadow of the roof, and saw that it was as quiet as a ghost realm, and the night sky in the direction of the west gate was red, and the shouts came one after another, and he suddenly rose up and threw himself towards the west of the city.
Du Qi walked all the way through the ridge, and saw that the street was in a mess, although there were a few red bloodstains, but there were no dead bodies, and there was not a single pedestrian except for the occasional patrolman. Duche guessed that the reason why the people fled in panic just now may have been caused by someone deliberately shouting in the city to cause panic, and there were no bandits entering the city at all.
Duki's mind moved, and he looked sideways at the corner of one street, only to see a figure turn from another street in the darkness, dodging and groping forward. In a trance, Du Qi only felt that the figure of the man seemed to be a little familiar, Gongju looked at it intently, and couldn't help but be surprised, resisted the urge to rush out and stop him, but shrank back, and more carefully lurked in the dark shadow of the high roof, and the spirit locked the man firmly, and after he went away, Fang Yao followed him on the roof.
The man walked and stopped, making many illusions along the way, and kept looking back, showing that he was a hidden master, if someone followed him, he would definitely be led elsewhere or discovered by him, plus he was also quite clever in light body kung fu, it was really difficult for ordinary people to follow him.
Dudge's method of tracking is different, he does not follow others, but mentally locks the person being followed, and is not afraid of being discovered, let alone getting lost and lost, therefore, that person may not dream that he is being followed at this time, but he is still careful not to be discovered all the way.
As he was walking, Dooch suddenly felt the man leap from the street onto the roof, rushing forward, and his figure disappeared into the shadows behind several roofs in an instant. If it were an ordinary stalker, they would have sped up so as not to lose it, but when Duge saw this, not only did he not follow up, but instead stopped hiding in the shadows under the eaves of a high-rise building, holding his breath and concentrating, shrinking his pores, and preventing his body temperature and body odor from leaking anything.
As soon as he had hidden himself, the man suddenly appeared on a ridge in the distance, as Duch had expected, and then suddenly floated back to and from the road, until he had crossed more than ten ridges, and then he turned back again, and also disappeared behind the ridge in the distance ahead, as if he had gone down the street.
Duch remained still, motionless, but his expression did not relax. A moment later, as Dooch had expected, the man cautiously folded back from the shadows of a street, and when he looked around to make sure that there was no one, he struck and dashed under the wall of the street and into a small courtyard.
Du Qi happened to be hiding under the eaves of a tall building next to the small courtyard, just enough to take in the entire small courtyard. Seeing the man climb over the wall and enter the backyard, Du Qi immediately hid in a clump of flowers and trees, waited for a moment to see that there was nothing abnormal, and then suddenly floated up, stopped in front of a door, and knocked on the door rhythmically.
The door opened, and the man did not wait for the person who opened the door to greet him, and when the door opened slightly, he had already flashed in. The man who opened the door saw that the visitor had entered the room, leaned out half of his body and looked around attentively, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he retracted and closed the door.
Duge was even more surprised to see that the man who opened the door was the master of the great mountain hall, and the moment he turned to close the door, Duge rose to his feet and fell like lightning on the ridge, lying prone in the shadow of the ridge, even if other night walkers passed by the nearby rooftops.
As soon as Du Qi arrived at the roof, he could hear the sound of people in the house pulling chairs and stools to greet each other and sit down, leaning slightly, and a slightly old voice said lazily: "Luo Changhe, why are you here now, but there is good news?" Duch felt that the voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly remembered who it was.
Luo Changhe said: "If you return to the wind and fire Dao, the juniors and others were ordered to inquire around, and there is no news from the Dan King Zhang Tuan, please treat the juniors and others for the crime of ineffective work." ”
It turned out that the person who spoke just now was the thin and tall old Taoist priest who had injured people in the small inn on the day Du Qi and Qin Xin first arrived at Xingguo Mansion two months ago, but the person Du Qi was following just now was the old rival Luo Changhe, who fled from Xiangyang with Guo Qinggong four years ago, and Huang Da was ordered to pursue him unsuccessfully. Du Qi didn't expect Luo Changhe to appear here, so he quietly followed, and when he saw that it was the right time to wait for him, he did not hesitate to fly to the tiles of the house where they were, ready to find out what their plans were.
Du Qi people have not arrived, the pervasive spiritual perception has penetrated into the house, measured a total of seven people in the house, but only heard the breathing sound of six people of different heights, Du Qi Gong gathered his ears, so as not to force the other person to hear the breathing sound of almost nothing, in this regard, Du Qi couldn't help but be secretly frightened, until he heard Luo Changhe's words, he knew that he was the head of the wind and fire, and he couldn't help but be more careful at the moment, lying on the roof and not daring to move slightly.
Feng Huo Dao sighed, and said as if he didn't care: "Forget it, since that Zhang Jian deliberately avoided me, how can you find out his whereabouts so easily, otherwise he will not be called King Dan, now it is still your business that matters, you can discuss it as much as you want, leave me alone!" ”
Luo Changhe heard the words of the Wind and Fire Dao Chief, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Dao Chief!" We acted according to the established strategy, and everything went well, but there was a sudden chaos on the street, and the girl took the opportunity to run away, and I waited to track her around, but I didn't see her whereabouts, so I rushed back to report the situation and ask for the next course of action. ”
After a while, someone answered, "Haven't you found that kid's whereabouts yet?" ”
Another said: "Back to General Bai's words, that kid is nowhere to be seen, I wonder if that kid knows the situation here?" ”
General Bai said: "What does Shen think of joining the army? ”
Shen Shenjun said: "I told him in person, he told me to wait for him outside the city, and I saw him alone when he entered the city to save people, why didn't you see him?" ”
Du Qi heard that this Shen Senjun was an old Confucian who was called Uncle Shen by Qin Xin, and Du Qi had long been suspicious of him, but at this moment, Shen Senjun was still surprised by the secret discussion with Luo Changhe, Shi Yingjing, Fenghuo Dao Chang and General Bai.
