"Squire?" Hearing Zhao Lingshu's first sentence, Xiao Qiyun asked questions.

"That's An Zhilian's attendant. After my brother and I rescued him, the attendant said that their group was surrounded by wolves, and in the fight with the wolves, An Shizi did not know where to go, and they searched everywhere for An Shizi's whereabouts. Lin Shen, this attendant was separated from the team in the process of searching, encountered a tiger attack, happened to meet me and my brother again, shot the tiger and saved him. Zhao Lingshu finished in one breath.

"And then?" Xiao Qiyun asked.

"Then the attendant begged us to look for An Zhilian, and my brother and I divided into two roads in order to find the prince as soon as possible, and I took a part of the attendants to look for it from the main road." Zhao Lingshu replied.

"And how did those guards of yours die?" Xiao Qiyun asked with a frown.

"Are they all dead?" Zhao Lingshu couldn't bear to ask.

"All of them are dead, and there is not a single one left alive." Xiao Qiyun sighed and replied.

"We were attacked by a group of men in black on the road. Strangely, they weren't robbers, and they didn't seem to want to capture me alive, not hurt me. My guards were killed by them while they were protecting me. Zhao Lingshu said, his eyes suddenly red.

"Men in black? Do you see what they look like? Now that you're surrounded and your guards are dead, how did you escape? Xiao Qiyun threw out several questions in a row.

"They were all masked, and they couldn't see clearly. Just when I thought I was desperate and had no choice but to be caught, An Shizi suddenly appeared and rescued me. But he was seriously wounded, and he fainted not long after we escaped. Lingshu had studied medicine, and when he saw that he had been poisoned, he sucked the poison out of his wound and applied some herbs to him. Maybe the poison was too strong, and then I was poisoned and fainted. I don't remember what happened after that. Zhao Lingshu told Xiao Qiyun the whole thing.

"You suck the poison out of his wound for him?" Xiao Qiyun's face was a little strange.

"Your Highness, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. An Shizi was in critical condition at the time, and as a doctor, I didn't have time to think about it so much. Thank you for your understanding. Seeing Xiao Qiyun's appearance as a defender of ethics and morality, Zhao Lingshu couldn't help but get angry.

"Yes. Since you've finished talking about things, Your Highness won't bother. Rest well, and your Highness will come to see you in a few days. Xiao Qiyun, who had completed the task, stood up and planned to leave.

Xiao Qiyun walked out of Zhao Lingshu's room. Tell Mrs. Zhao to give Zhao Lingshu the medicinal herbs he brought. Mrs. Zhao's heart was full of impatience, and she couldn't refuse on the spot, so she could only agree one by one with a smile.

On the morning of the second day, Xiao Qisheng went to the mansion of the county lord of Anling early in the morning to visit An Zhilian.

Xiao Qisheng walked into An Zhilian's room, An Zhilian had already woken up, and was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and thinking about things while recuperating.

Hearing movement in the room, An Zhilian opened his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Qisheng.

"Your Highness." An Zhihuan hurriedly sat up and wanted to lift the quilt and get out of bed to salute An Zhilian.

"No need to be polite. You might as well lie down and talk to me. Xiao Qisheng hurriedly stopped An Zhilian's movements.

"How can that be. Your Highness sits. An Zhilian still sat on the bed, and instructed the maid to move the carved chair he usually sat on for Xiao Qisheng to sit down.

"How's your recovery going?" Xiao Qisheng asked as he sat down.

"Much better. Your Highness is here this time, what is the matter? An Zhilian realized that Xiao Qisheng should not simply ask about his injury this time, but should have something to ask him.

"Father asked me to investigate with the third brother and the fifth brother that you and Lingshu were injured and unconscious at the same time. It's not convenient for me to go to Zhaofu, so I'll ask you something. Xiao Qisheng explained.

"Your Highness, excuse me. I must know everything, I must know everything. An Zhilian realized the importance of the matter and hurriedly sat upright.

"What happened to you and the corpse that day? How did you come across it? Xiao Qisheng asked.

"That day, I went into the forest with a team of guards to hunt, but I didn't expect to be attacked by a pack of hungry wolves after walking for a while. Then I got separated from the group and got lost. My horse was bitten by wolves, and I ended up walking on foot, looking for my way back while the guards found me. But this man was unlucky, and he even stuffed his teeth when he drank cold water. An Zhilian smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qisheng asked.

"I was hit by an arrow on the way, and I didn't see who shot it, and then I was attacked by a group of men in black. I was wounded in a fight with the wolves, so I was outnumbered and had to find an opportunity to escape. An Zhilian still feels furious when he thinks about it now.

"And how did you and the corpse meet?" Xiao Qisheng asked.

"I heard a fight on my way away, so I went over to see what was going on. As a result, as soon as I got closer, I saw Miss Zhao and her guards surrounded by a group of men in black. Her guards were almost wiped out by the men in black. So I rescued Miss Zhao. An Zhilian replied.

"The Man in Black again?" After listening to An Zhilian's words, Xiao Qisheng's face became very gloomy.

"Could it be that the group of black-clothed people who attacked the corpse and the black-clothed people who attacked you are the same people?" Xiao Qisheng then guessed.

"Maybe. But this is unlikely. An Zhilian replied.

"Whether it's or not, we can't verify it now." Xiao Qisheng frowned and thought about countermeasures.

"When I get better, I will cooperate with His Highness to investigate the case." knew the importance of the matter, but he couldn't help his injury, An Zhilian could only let Xiao Qisheng investigate the case alone.

"No, you have a good rest, and you must heal from your injuries. I still have Xiao Si here, who can complete the task. Xiao Qisheng refused. An Zhilian's current injury has not been completely healed in a few months, and according to An Zhilian's temper, as long as he needs it, he will definitely rise up to help him find clues regardless of his injury. Therefore, Xiao Qisheng could only directly refuse An Zhilian's request.

An Zhilian knew that Xiao Qisheng wanted him to recuperate from his injuries, so he could only nod and promise Xiao Qisheng.

Xiao Qiyun got some clues by asking Zhao Lingshu, and Xiao Qiming got clues by asking others. Xiao Qisheng, who had just left from An Zhilian's residence, received a letter from a servant, and when he opened it, there was only one sentence: "Come to Qin Xianglou to meet." The fifth brother is also there. ”

This is someone sent by Xiao Qiming. Since the three of them are here, they are not afraid of any conspiracy and trickery he will do.

Xiao Qisheng calmly went to the appointment. Xiao Qiming and Xiao Qiyun were already sitting in the Tianzi room upstairs in Qin Xianglou waiting for him.

"Third brother, fifth brother, the younger brother is late." As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Qisheng apologized to the two elder brothers.

"No problem. We've just arrived. Xiao Qiming, who was sitting at the head of the tea drink, said lightly.

"The third brother gathered the three of us today, but what's the matter?" Xiao Qiyun asked.

"Father asked us to investigate the fact that Miss Zhao and An Shizi were injured and comatose at the same time in the hunting competition, so let's report to each other the news we have investigated first." Xiao Qiming was clearly suggesting, and his tone was indeed commanding.

Xiao Qiyun and Xiao Qisheng heard the victory in Xiao Qiming's tone, although they were a little angry in their hearts, but they couldn't tear their faces right now, so they had to press the tone in their hearts and tell the news they had investigated.

"Since Miss Zhao and An Shizi have explained that the most important reason for their injuries is the two groups of men in black, then our top priority is to find out who sent those two groups of men in black." Xiao Qiming said.

"The younger brother is thinking, is it possible, these two groups of men in black were actually sent out alone?" Xiao Qisheng expressed his guess.

"Sent by one person?" Xiao Qiyun asked rhetorically, he didn't expect this matter at all.

"How is this possible? Miss Zhao and An Shizi have nothing to do with each other, who will be ruthless to the two of them at the same time? Xiao Qiming immediately rejected this speculation.

Xiao Qisheng was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Qiming's answer so categorically. He looked at Xiao Qiming's face and found that his eyes had been dodging, and his movements were a little unnatural. Thinking of all the things that Xiao Qiming had done to Zhao Lingshu before, Xiao Qisheng took a sip of tea quietly, but he had a heart for Xiao Qiming in his heart.

After discussing the solution strategy, Xiao Qisheng immediately returned home. The first thing he did when he returned home was to call Xiao Si.

"What does Your Highness command?" Xiao Si ran to Xiao Qisheng and asked.

"When I went to see Xiao Qiming and Xiao Qiyun today, when I said that it was possible that the two groups of black-clothed people were sent by the same person, Xiao Qiming not only immediately rejected my proposal, but his face also became unusual." Xiao Qisheng said.

"So, Your Highness is suspicious ......?" Xiao Si guessed what Xiao Qisheng didn't say, and Xiao Qisheng also knew what Xiao Si wanted to say.

"With my understanding of Xiao Qiming, it is impossible for him not to make some moves in such a big event as the hunting competition. Moreover, Xiao Qiming has always been bound to win the corpse. Even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must have something to do with this matter. Xiao Qisheng leaned back in his chair and said lightly.

"Then what did His Highness let Xiao Si do?" Xiao Si understood Xiao Qisheng's guess and then asked.

"Let's put aside the matter of the man in black for a while, and first investigate all of Xiao Qiming's recent movements." Xiao Qisheng commanded.

"Yes!" Xiao Si was about to leave to investigate, but Xiao Qisheng stopped him again.

"The investigation action should be smaller, and you must not startle the snake." Xiao Qisheng admonished.

After Xiao Si left, Xiao Qisheng was still sitting on the chair. He slowly closed his eyes, thinking about how things would be resolved.

After a while, Xiao Si came back to report.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have found out the news of the Third Highness." Xiao Si said.

"Oh?"

"The subordinates found out today that the Third Highness has a capable subordinate named Xiao Yan, who has been in and out of the No. 1 killer organization in the rivers and lakes today--Hidden Gate!" Xiao Si said excitedly.

"The number one killer organization? Hidden doors? Xiao Qisheng was also very surprised after hearing this. It seems that this incident really has something to do with Xiao Qiming.

"Your Highness, how do you check next?" Xiao Si asked.

"Focus on going to the hidden door to investigate, and see what is the matter with Xiao Qiming sending people to the hidden door." Xiao Qisheng commanded.

Xiao Si found the inside of the hidden door, but did not dig up any news.

After all, the Hidden Gate is the number one killer organization in the rivers and lakes, so the secrecy must be done very well, which makes Xiao Si feel very frustrated.
