"Qi Zhan, who is that person?"

In the dark night, Rong Yunxi sat alone in front of the window, looking at the dark night, she was silent for a long time, but she still asked this question.

"Someone you know."

He said casually, this kind of perfunctory is a perfunctory that can be distinguished without careful discernment, Rong Yunxi bit his lower lip and forcibly held back his anger that he was kept in the dark.

With the last experience in Yunshengtang, she didn't have any doubts about Qi Zhan's disguise technique, and even this time when she saw Lin Qian, she kept suspecting that this person was Qi Zhan pretending.

Uncle Yuan Qi didn't send someone to protect her, maybe he would call Qi Zhan over, but he didn't expect it to appear in such a way.

Just half an hour ago.

Qi Zhan took the dagger and forced Lin Qian to stay away from Rong Yunxi with a posture that almost casually cut off Lin Qian's head.

After Lin Qian left, Qi Zhan quickly stood in front of Rong Yunxi and stared at her vigilantly, "What did you do?" ”

"Didn't do anything." Lin Qian smiled elegantly, calmly, like an elegant and noble epiphany, "It's just to protect this little yellow chicken for you before you arrive." ”

Qi Zhan's eyes swept over Rong Yunxi's body suspiciously, and after confirming that there was no problem, his body that had been tense relaxed before he relaxed, and as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, the man in front of him was like a bird in the night, and after the window fluttered and made a sound, only Qi Zhan and Rong Yunxi were left in the entire room.

The two were relatively silent for a long time before Rong Yunxi asked the first sentence.

But she didn't get a definite answer.

"Isn't Lin Qian the eldest young master of the Lin family?" Rong Yunxi opened his mouth and asked again, "The eldest son of the president of the National Federation of Commerce, Lin Qian." ”

Qi Zhan walked around the room, he stopped at the desk where Lin Qian had just sat down, and still replied to Rong Yunxi's words casually, "Yes." ”

His gaze fell on the letter that Lin Qian was about to send, and when he saw the content on it, his whole body was shocked.

This is not a letter that Lin Qian was going to send, but a letter left by Lin Qian, which was deliberately left for Qi Zhan to see.

"Blind conceit will not get the desired results."

"It will also make the woman who loves you sad."

The letter paper was picked up by Qi Zhan, he looked at the two lines of words written in ink, his whole hand gradually tightened, crumpled the letter into a paper ball, and threw it into the corner of the ground.

"What's wrong?" Rong Yunxi was puzzled and wanted to pick up the paper ball that had been thrown away, but Qi Zhan's cold voice rang in his ears, "It's nothing, it's just something that Lin Qian wrote casually, and there are no valuable clues." ”

Rong Yunxi still picked up the paper ball, opened it and read it, she really couldn't see anything useful that these two lines could decipher, so she had to turn her gaze to Qi Zhan again.

"Why did Lin Qian find me?"

"Lin Qian is a member of the Lin family." Qi Zhan walked to the chair and sat down, his face was a little gloomy, "I was actually going to come with you on the day you left Beijing, but something happened in the capital temporarily. ”

"Something to do with the prince of Mobei?"

Qi Zhan nodded, not surprised that Rong Yunxi guessed this, "The eldest prince of Mobei is here and asks the emperor to give an explanation and track down the whereabouts of the second prince of Mobei." ”

"And the matter of the prince of Mobei in the Pingwang Mansion leaked out, and the crown prince Qi Mingshu brought someone to investigate, and I urgently transferred the second prince of Mobei to another place."

"My cousin...... Are you alright?"

Rong Yunxi thought of Kou Yuexin's resolute face, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

Qi Zhan nodded, "Well, the people from the crown prince Qi Mingshu's side came to search, and it was still covered up by the county lord of Jianing." ”

"You ...... Don't let Mobei and Daqi know that the prince of Mobei is still alive? ”

"To be exact...... Now is not the best time to show up. After Qi Zhan pondered deeply, he sighed lightly in frustration, "I was dragged down by the matter, so I had to let my personal guards rush over to protect you first." ”

Personal Guard...... Rong Yunxi's mind repeatedly recited the name Yinshuo, and finally remembered where he had heard it.

"Your personal guard, is it called Yinshuo?!"

Qi Zhan showed a surprised expression, he looked at her with a slight frown, "How do you know?" ”

"Let's talk about this later," Rong Yunxi's expression became serious in an instant, "Lin Qian's guard is also called Yinsuo, did you send Yinsuo to Lin Qian's side?" ”

"Nope." Qi Zhan's expression gradually attached a layer of frost, "I only ordered him to accompany you to protect you, and I didn't give any other orders." ”

"Could it be that Yinshuo is making a claim?" Rong Yunxi asked tentatively.

Qi Zhan shook his head with a heavy face and said nothing.

Is it just a coincidence that the name is the same?

Rong Yunxi stood in place with mixed thoughts, constantly thinking about what happened between herself and Lin Qian.

"By the way, Lin Qian said that he came to Bashu this time to take over the Bashu branch of the Lin family." Rong Yunxi thought of the conversation with Lin Qian before, and immediately said, "Is Lin Qian just a businessman?" ”

"It's not." Qi Zhan said, "Or ...... He is actually not from the Lin family, and I only found out about this matter a few months ago. ”

"Except for the identity of the eldest young master of the Lin family, I don't know anything else about him."

Rong Yunxi kept thinking about what had happened between her and Lin Qian, and she had an extremely strong strange feeling, which made her frown, "Qi Zhan, do you feel that Lin Qian is somewhat similar to you in some aspects?" ”

Qi Zhan furrowed his brows suspiciously, "And me?" ”

Hearing this, Rong Yunxi sighed helplessly and said calmly, "Actually, since the last Yunshengtang incident, I am not surprised by what kind of person you have become. ”

"The first time I met Lin Qian in Huaiyang, until you appeared now, I have been speculating whether Lin Qian is disguised by you."

"Although the two of you are very different in appearance and temperament, ...... There's always something strange about him that struck me like you, very, similar. ”

Qi Zhan's eyes were full of doubts, obviously unable to understand Rong Yunxi's words.

But he closed his eyes and shook his head, obviously not wanting to dwell on the question any longer, and got up from his chair, "That's all for this, you must be very tired after a day of traveling, rest early." ”

Rong Yunxi refused to let it go, and chased after Qi Zhan, "You said that you and Lin Qian are acquaintances, and you said that you only found out a few months ago that he is not from the Lin family, what do you mean?" ”

Qi Zhan lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before he said to Rong Yunxi, "Frankly, Lin Qian is the name I found when I traced his other identity. ”

Lin Qian's other identity is the murderer of the serial murder case in Dali Temple on the run. Your uncle Kou Yuanqi and I have been investigating him, but ...... I don't know why he took the initiative to approach you this time. ”

"For money? Or is there some purpose? ”

Qi Zhan's gaze instantly became serious, "I'm telling you this to prevent you from continuing to ask about this matter, since Lin Qian is gone, Kou Yuanqi and I will naturally pursue him further." You don't know martial arts, you can't protect yourself, it's too dangerous to get involved in this. ”

"I hope you understand what I mean."

Rong Yunxi didn't back down, and looked at Qi Zhan, "Lin Qian has run to me, you let me not care about this person?" If you say that I don't know martial arts, I can learn it, and before I learn it, I can only ask you to send someone to protect me. ”

There was an extremely urgent deterrent in her gaze, an extremely resolute look, which made Qi Zhan want to say something to refute, but he couldn't say it at all.

He opened his mouth, but finally let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness and doting, "Since you want to learn, then I have to teach you." ”

Rong Yunxi felt that something was wrong, she twined her eyebrows, "Won't my uncle know?" ”

Qi Zhan looked taken for granted, "Your uncle can only read, not martial arts." ”

Rong Yunxi didn't believe it very much, and when she was muttering quietly in her heart, a warm big hand patted the top of her head, "The little girl is only fifteen years old, what do you want to do so much, go to sleep." ”

"Isn't the purpose of your coming to Bashu to go to the Tianshan Mountains to find Cordyceps, a book of ten thousand profits?"

"You know all this?"

Qi Zhan blinked, "I guess." ”

Rong Yunxi: "......"

Lin Qian was outside the inn, in the dark and quiet woods, looking at the dim light in the window of the inn on the second floor, his white face as white as porcelain seemed to be covered with a light veil in the moonlight, beautiful and unreal like a dream.

Yinshuo stepped out of the shadows, like a pool of pitch-black ink, and knelt respectfully on one knee in front of Lin Qian.

"Go back and figure out your own rhetoric."

Lin Qian's gaze was as cold as the moon, and Yin Suo disappeared in front of him after receiving the order, and Lin Qian also turned around and was dressed in a snow-white light veil, which gradually melted in the dark forest.

"I saw her more than I expected...... It's a little bit better. ”

His low muttering melted in the night wind.

What Kou Yuanqi asked Cuiwei to do in the capital was to investigate the clues of the families who were killed by Lin Qian's other identity.

It was basically a tragedy, and the murderer did not leave any clues to find, this matter could not have attracted the attention of Kou Yuanqi and Qi Zhan, but when Lin Qian's other identity kept the target of assassination surfaced, they found out.

The people who were killed were basically all princelings, as if Lin Qian's other identity was the same as the bitter hatred of the princelings.

That's kind of interesting.

Kou Yuanqi intervened in the investigation and trial of Dali Temple, and investigated the case with Qi Zhan, the seventh prince.

This was a few months, and a little further afield, it was half a year ago.

Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs of the capital.

An old man crept up to the guard's door and shoved a silver ingot into the guard's hand.

The guard's eyes lit up, and he immediately let Dao'er go.

The old man was dressed plainly, carrying a bamboo basket and pushing open the dusty door.

On a big bed inside, Rong Yuejin and Huo Yurou were sitting with frosty faces, looking disgusted, and when they saw the old man walking in, Huo Yurou's eyes flashed with a gleam, like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw.

"Steward Huo, my father...... What did he say? ”
