At night, Zhao Yan, who had changed into a brocade robe, had lost his previous defeat, and was sitting in the study looking at Wang Jing's records of interacting with people for so many years, his brows furrowed slightly.

He had long known that although Wang Jing abided by military discipline, his conduct was not very good.

Otherwise, he would not take pleasure in abusing and killing women, and after so many years, not even a concubine in the house has survived.

Now he was dead, and nothing he had left behind would be useful to him.

After seeing the last page, Zhao Yan threw down the record in his hand with some frustration.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, "There is an assassin, don't tell him to run!" ”

Zhao Yan heard the shouts outside, and stood up from his chair.

Before he could reach the door, the door had been pushed open by a man in black, and then, before he could draw his sword, a knife with a cold glow was already on his neck.

"If you don't want to die, know how to do it!"

His voice was extremely low, with a trembling murderous aura.

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door outside, and then the voice of the guard came in: "City Lord, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Yan glanced at the man, and could only say to the guards outside: "It's okay, what's wrong?" ”

The guard replied, "There are assassins infiltrating the house, and your subordinates are worried about your safety, so you have nothing to do." ”

Zhao Yan said two more words, and the guard left.

Waiting for the footsteps to disappear, the man spoke again, "Where is Lu Qingzi?" ”

Zhao Yan listened to the man's question, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of surprise: "How do you know that I have seen Lu Qingzi?" ”

The man sneered and said, "Hand over Lu Qingzi, I'll spare your life." ”

Zhao Yan looked at him, his eyes were dark and deep, like a deep well full of cold spring water, which made people can't help but tingle their scalps.

"Lu Qingzi is not in my house, she has already fled."

Zhao Yan observed the man's movements, looking for an opportunity to break free from his control.

"Do you think I believe that?" The man sneered, looked at Zhao Yan and said, "It seems that you don't want to live anymore?" ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Yan had already taken the lead in attacking the man, ready to take him by surprise, who knew that the man's face was smiling, and he flexibly dodged his attack, and caught him immediately with his backhand.

Seeing that the knife in his hand was about to fall, Zhao Yan was finally terrified, "Lu Qingzi is really not in my mansion!" ”

The man's knife froze, and he believed what Zhao Yan said at this time.

"Where did she go?"

Zhao Yan said to him: "I don't know, I knew she escaped, so I chased after her, but I didn't expect a teenager to come out halfway and actually save her and hurt me, I don't know where she went!" ”

When the man heard Zhao Yan say this, he suddenly sneered, and a hand knife quickly slashed at the back of Zhao Yan's neck.

Zhao Yanden fainted to the ground, he cautiously opened the door of the house, and it was already quiet outside.

The night was confused, and the man's figure quickly disappeared on Zhao Yan's mansion and disappeared again.

On the other side, Lu Qingzi was lying in the room of the town inn and tossing and turning.

The woman who disguised herself as Bai Fangxue was none other than Sun Xiaodie, the secret guard of the Four Emperors Sun Hanmo.

It's just that Lu Qingzi can't figure it out, how could she be here?

Before Zhen Lianhua returned to the Li Kingdom, Sun Xiaodie obviously became her maid, but when Lu Qingzi also returned to the Li Kingdom, she never saw Sun Xiaodie again.

Did Sun Hanmo send her, or did she turn white?

At dawn the next day, Lu Qingzi and Wen Ye walked out of the inn, it was a cloudy day today, and the air was stuffy, as if they were waiting for a heavy rain.

Sure enough, by noon, the clouds covered the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans quickly fell.

"Let's find a place to hide from the rain first!"

As he spoke, Lu Qingzi hurriedly took Wen Ye into the nearest tavern and settled.

After the tavern servant had served a small dish, he went to greet the other guests.

"Are you going back to the capital?" Wen Ye thought for a while, looked at Lu Qingzi and asked.

Lu Qingzi nodded, the guards were not around, if he didn't go back to the capital to find Qian Baihan, I am afraid that there would be no other way.

After all, Bai Fangxue's life and death are still uncertain, and it is not enough to rely on her and Wen Ye.

If you want to go back to the capital, you have to pass by Xingcheng, but at this time, Lu Qingzi has been exposed, and presumably Zhao Yan is also looking for her, which is really dangerous.

Fortunately, Wen Ye has changed his appearance, otherwise this is really a wolf and a tiger.

Lu Qingzi was so happy for a while, and suddenly thought of a question, Sun Xiaodie's appearance must have been given by Granny Baihua, but if Granny Baihua had already taken refuge in the Qi Kingdom, after so many days, there were obviously so many opportunities, but she didn't kill Wen Ye?

"It's raining heavily." Suddenly, a man's voice sounded behind him, and Lu Qingzi felt a little familiar when he heard it, so he couldn't help but turn his head.

Behind her, Nan Zhiyuan was talking to the man opposite.

Lu Qingzi was a little surprised, how could Nan Zhiyuan appear in this town?

After Lu Qingzi found out that it was him, he immediately turned his head, only to hear the man opposite Nan Zhiyuan ask him: "Brother Nan has strong financial resources, and he can't compare with him, if it burns down in the inn, he can't make a comeback in such a short time!" ”

Nan Zhiyuan replied politely: "This is just the last bit of capital, if it is burned again, Nan will have to beg along the street." ”

The man smiled and said, "How so! What is Brother Nan doing when he goes out of the city this time? ”

Hearing the man's question, Nan Zhiyuan was a little silent, and after a while he said, "Come out to find someone, I will go back to the city tomorrow." ”

"Looking for someone? Brother Nan said it, maybe the younger brother could do his best. ”

Nan Zhiyuan shook his head, "There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't force it, it's just that she probably doesn't want me to find it!" ”

Hearing Nan Zhiyuan say this, the man's voice was a little curious: "Isn't it Brother Nan's sweetheart?" ”

Nan Zhiyuan took a sip of wine and said: "She saved my life, but after she left, I always thought of her, and I couldn't help but feel a little regretful in my heart." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Qingzi already knew who Nan Zhiyuan was talking about.

It's just that I don't know what it would be like if Bai Fangxue was here at this time.

The corners of Lu Qingzi's mouth showed a hint of helplessness, things in this world have always been so impermanent.

After I don't know how long, the rain finally stopped.

Lu Qingzi settled the account and walked towards Xingcheng with Wen Ye.

Along the way, Lu Qingzi was thinking about how to hide Zhao Yan from Xingcheng, although Zhao Yan was not as eager for quick success as Wang Jing, but it could be seen from his treatment of Mrs. Wang Jing that he was by no means a troublemaker.
