Ran Qiunian leaned against the window in the private room of Tianxiang Building and watched the chaos below, his face full of worry, but fortunately, not long after Qi Ruoyun left, Xiao Yin came back from outside the door.

"Big brother, where are you going to take me?"

Ran Qiunian wanted to ask about the child, but Xiao Yin came in without saying a word, pulled himself out, and walked out.

Through the wolf mask with a blue face and fangs, she couldn't tell whether Xiao Yin's expression was happy or angry at this time, so she could only follow his will first.

The fire below was still burning, and the whole street was full of chaotic crowds, Ran Qiunian followed behind Xiao Yin, who had not said a word, and was pulled by him and quietly left through the back door of Tianxiang Building.

Leaving the noisy crowd behind, the cool night breeze blowing on his face made his confused brain sober up a lot, and Ran Qiunian finally realized that something was wrong.

"Big brother, wait, where are we going now?"

Ran Qiunian stopped, grabbed Xiao Yin in front of him, and looked at the silent back in front of him with a suspicious face.

At the moment when Xiao Yin, who was wearing a mask, turned around and looked, Ran Qiunian was keenly aware of the danger, retracted his hand regardless of it, turned around and was about to flee, when he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of his neck, and the next moment Ran Qiunian fell softly, and he didn't know who was going to be.

When he subdued Ran Qiunian, the man with the wolf mask took off the mask on his face, revealing an unfamiliar face.

A young woman walked out of the dark alley, her body looked like Ran Qiunian, and she was holding a flower mask stained with fly ash in her hand.

"Someone's coming?" The voice that spoke was not much different from Ran Qiunian's true voice.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, it's too late."

The man whispered and pushed Ran Qiunian over. If Ran Qiunian was awake at this time, he would definitely exclaim, because that young woman was the little flower god who had been rescued by Xiao Yin from the flower boat before.

She nodded, and without half a moment's hesitation, she dragged Ran Qiunian to a carriage at the entrance of the dark alley, and a moment later, the girl wearing a horse mask stepped out of the carriage wearing the same cloak.

"You hurry back to Tianxianglou to guard, and when everyone goes back later, it's too late."

The man was about to walk to the carriage after whispering, and she hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do with it, girl?" ”

"It's not been discussed a long time ago, lock people up in Lord Liu's courtyard for a while, and after you kill that champion duke, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. You can't bear it for the sake of the hero saving the beauty, right? ”

Halfway through the man's words, he couldn't help but bring a little threat.

"If you don't have it, just ask. I'll go first. ”

The woman dressed as Ran Qiunian hurriedly finished speaking, turned around and returned to Tianxiang Building.

"It's better to be like this."

After the man finished speaking viciously, he jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain and took a final look, and the girl with the flower mask lay motionless in the carriage, as if she was dead, he relieved himself and drove the carriage to the south of the city.

Listening to the sound of the carriage moving away behind her, Ran Qiunian's calm steps finally became a little messy, she wrapped the empty medicine powder in a ball, clenched it tightly in the palm of her hand, and forcibly resisted the thought of rubbing the sharp pain on her shoulder, for fear that there were still people in the dark who were monitoring her every move.

When Ran Qiunian returned to the private room of Tianxiang Building, no one had noticed that she had just left for a while, and she didn't dare to leave casually, thinking about the meaning of the person who wanted to assassinate Xiao Yin just now, her eyes were full of anxiety.

She waited patiently for a while, and a group of soldiers poured in from the streets and alleys, quickly calming down the movement below. Disorderly.

There was another knock on the door of the private room, and this time it was neither Xiao Yin nor Qi Ruoyun who walked in, but Ran Qiubai who was alone.

"Brother Qiubai? What are you doing here? Ran Qiunian was a little surprised.

"I received a message from the little grandfather and knew that the lantern street was moving. Chaos, I'll hurry over and pick you up. Ran Qiubai took a few steps closer, "Are you okay, hurry up and go home with me." ”

After speaking, seeing Ran Qiunian stunned and not moving, he was a little strange, and was about to check the look on Ran Qiunian's face, but his vision was blocked by the horse mask: "Don't you feel bored wearing a mask in the room?" Hurry up and pick it up, and come home with me first. ”

Ran Qiunian covered the mask on his face, and refused to take it off: "This mask is still useful, Brother Qiubai's subordinates are merciful." ”

"What weird are you talking about?" Ran Qiubai glanced at the mask on Ran Qiunian's face suspiciously, "If you don't take it off, you won't take it off, hurry back to the house, grandmother is worried about it." ”

Ran Qiunian thought about the eyeliner that was hiding there and peeping here, so he could only lower his voice and say to Ran Qiubai: "Don't be in a hurry to go back to the house first, you take me to find the eldest brother first, I have something very important to tell him." ”

I don't know how long I can hide my hands and feet in the carriage, Ran Qiunian just wants to quickly tell Xiao Yin about the assassination now, and it is best to take advantage of the fact that the Imperial Guard Mansion has not yet reacted, and lead someone to copy the villa of Lord Liu.

Ran Qiubai was about to continue asking, but his hand was pinched by Ran Qiunian, he closed his mouth, hesitantly looked at Ran Qiunian's anxious and pleading eyes behind the mask, gritted his teeth, and agreed to her request.

"I don't know where Xiao Yin went, if you can't find him in half an hour, you can go back to the house with me first, and don't be willful anymore."

Ran Qiubai left Tianxianglou with her sister, although she didn't know why she asked herself like this, she still set a time limit, also lowered her voice, and admonished.

"Nian'er knows." Ran Qiunian nodded, followed the direction she had last seen in the window before, and walked into a narrow alley with Ran Qiubai.

Away from the noisy lantern street behind them, the sound in the alley became quieter and quieter, and the two walked forward slowly, and after a while, from the end of the dead alley, there were a few faint wails.

"There is movement, the big brother must be there."

Ran Qiunian listened attentively and whispered to Ran Qiubai next to him.

Ran Qiubai protected his sister behind him, and the two quickened their pace to find the end of the alley.

When they arrived at the place, they only saw bandits lying on the ground and a big knife thrown aside. Xiao Yin and the child are not here.

Ran Qiunian noticed the long knives scattered on the ground, and his face changed, could it be that those people had more than arranged an assassination? She couldn't help but rush forward and kick the nearest bandit, and asked sharply:

"What did you do to my big brother?"

Ran Qiubai didn't hold it for a while, but when she saw Ran Qiunian kicking her angrily, her eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly stepped forward in three or two steps to protect the person behind her, for fear that the group of bandits on the ground would collide with her.

"Who beat you like this? Where has he gone now? ”

After Ran Qiubai stopped the angry Ran Qiunian, he changed his question and looked at the bandit on the ground who had obviously broken his legs.

"Wait, you look familiar."

Ran Qiubai squinted, squatted down, grabbed the bandit who was almost dying in pain, dragged his face to the place illuminated by the moonlight, and looked at it intently.

Sure enough, Ran Qiubai didn't expect to see these people in the city, it was really unexpected.

"Brother Qiubai has seen them?"

Ran Qiunian saw that Ran Qiubai's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"This group of people is the mountain bandits who chased and killed me outside Lingzhou City, but I don't know how they got to Jinxiu City."

A few bandits looked over one by one, and Ran Qiubai's face gradually became serious, this matter is definitely not so simple.

"Tell me, where did the man who beat you like this go?"

Ran Qiubai was almost certain that it was Xiao Yin who injured this group of people here, and since he had spared the lives of these bandits, he must have other plans and would not leave too far.

"It's in the courtyard at the back, the hero spares his life, the hero spares his life."

Those mountain bandits didn't recognize Ran Qiubai, and when they heard his bad words, they didn't dare to deceive, so they hurriedly pointed in a direction behind them, and continued to wail.

Seeing this, Ran Qiubai was afraid that their voices would attract others again, so he knocked several people unconscious.

"It seems that the person went to the other courtyard in front." Ran Qiubai frowned, looking at Ran Qiunian with some hesitation, not knowing whether to take her to take this risk.

"Let's go and see the situation first, Brother Qiubai doesn't have to worry about me, and I don't have anything to defend myself, it's enough to protect myself."

Ran Qiunian touched the packet of drugs left in his sleeve and made up his mind.

The two of them hurried to the house that the gang of bandits pointed to, and at the end of the alley, around the corner was the destination of their trip.

Cautiously approached the inconspicuous corner door, there was no one guarding inside, the corner door was wide open, Ran Qiunian and Ran Qiubai glanced at each other, and the next moment they silently sneaked into the courtyard.

The inside is as quiet as the outside, as if there is not a trace of human traffic. Could it be that this is just a place for those mountain bandits to stay and hide, and there are no other mysteries? Ran Qiunian couldn't help but have such questions.

I don't know how long they have been sneaking around, judging from the direction, they should have come to the main courtyard, Ran Qiunian glanced at the layout of the courtyard wall and atrium, and thought secretly.

"Why does this house seem empty?"

Along the way, not to mention the nursing home, even the subordinates who patrolled the night did not meet one, which is really a little hair-wrenching.

"Don't be careless, be careful."

Ran Qiubai also felt strange, but he did not relax his vigilance because there was no one in the house.

The sound of a car rolling over the ground came, and Ran Qiubai stopped, pulled Ran Qiunian, and hid in the shadow of the rockery.

Ran Qiunian hid in the dark, held his breath, and waited for a while, only to see that in the night, a dusty carriage drove in from outside, and stopped not far from the rockery.

"Light a candle."

A somewhat familiar voice came from the carriage, Ran Qiunian frowned, and for a while he couldn't tell who the person was.

But the next moment, a candle was lit in front of the carriage, although it was still a little dim, but it was enough for Ran Qiunian to identify the figure of Lord Liu of the Imperial Guard Mansion from the faint light that shone out.

It turned out to be him! Ran Qiunian was shocked, and immediately reacted, it turned out that this was Lord Liu's courtyard, and the detention place mentioned by the man who pretended to be Xiao Yin wanted to kidnap him was not here?
