Chapter 30: Tracking

Qiu Luoxue led the soldiers to surround the Lu family ancestral hall, and the originally dark ancestral hall instantly became bright, and Marquis Lu, who saw this phenomenon, realized that all this was a conspiracy.

"This is what you planned." Marquis Lu said, "You are not here to find Xuan'er, you are here to find the account books. ”

"That's right, but it's a little late." Qiu Luoxue said, "Hand over the account books, maybe Your Majesty can spare your life." ”

"Do you think I'm stupid? Hand over the books and die sooner. Marquis Lu said, holding the account book tightly in his hand, and looked outside by the way, wanting to see if there was any possibility of escape.

"Although you are indeed stupid, but I have no intention of lying to you, look at the situation around you, can you still escape now? Hand over the books, you still have a glimmer of hope to live, if you don't hand them over, wait until they come to you to get them, then you will surely die. Qiu Luoxue said and measured his body a little, so that he could see the current form.

Marquis Lu also knew that he had no way out, but if he really wanted him to surrender obediently, it might take a while.

Qiu Luoxue saw that Marquis Lu was a little hesitant, and motioned to Nie Yuan with her eyes, asking him to take the account book in Marquis Lu's hand. Nie Yuan received Qiu Luoxue's eyes, nodded, and stepped forward to get the account book.

Nie was getting closer and closer away from Marquis Lu, and the candle flame jumped on the wall, but just as Nie Yuan was about to reach Marquis Lu's side, a dart shot from the window, with a fierce murderous aura. Nie Yuan felt the murderous aura and quickly dodged, and the dart swept past the side of his face, almost hurting him.

At the same time, there was a sound of killing outside, and Qiu Luoxue looked back, and several men in black rushed into the soldiers and fought. They struck quickly, their moves were sharp, and they came out suddenly, so most of the soldiers didn't have time to resist.

"They've definitely come to grab the books." Qiu Luoxue said to Xia Ziyan beside her.

As soon as the two of them looked, Nie Yuan had been entangled by the man in black, and he couldn't get out to get the account book for the time being, and Marquis Lu had the possibility of waiting for an opportunity to escape, and the scene was a mess, and it couldn't be dealt with in a short time.

"Can't let him escape." Xia Ziyan said, he looked around, found a pillar, stuffed Qiu Luoxue behind, and said, "You stay here, I'll go get the account book."

After speaking, Xia Ziyan rushed out, he is also good at martial arts, at least he has the ability to protect himself. However, as soon as he approached Marquis Lu, another dart was shot from outside, and he dodged it, and out of nowhere, a man in black came out and entangled him again.

Two waves of people fought from the house to the courtyard, there were about a dozen people in black, all of them were extraordinary, and the soldiers were not their opponents at all, so they could only take advantage of the numerical advantage to temporarily entangle them. Nie Yuan fought two black-clothed people alone, although he didn't have much pressure, but he was entangled and couldn't get out. Xia Ziyan's skills are quite powerful, but because he has no weapon in his hand, it is really not easy to face a person with a long sword with his bare hands.

Qiu Luoxue hid behind the pillar and looked at the scene in front of her, there was no way to do it in a hurry, after all, she didn't even have the ability to protect herself, and the only thing she could do now was to protect herself from being distracted by Nie Yuan and Xia Ziyan.

Just when Qiu Luoxue was in a hurry, another man in black appeared, and he rushed into the crowd at a very fast speed and rushed in front of Marquis Lu, who was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Thank you, Marquis Lu." The man in black stood in front of Marquis Lu, said this, and killed Marquis Lu with a knife in his hand.

"Ah~" Qiu Luoxue was stupid when she saw this scene, it was the first time she saw murder, right in front of her eyes.

The man in black heard Qiu Luoxue's scream, and glanced back at her, with that sharp eye, Qiu Luoxue's heart was furious. He could only turn back to Nie Yuan for help and said, "Nie Shi, he wants to take the account book."

Hearing Qiu Luoxue's voice, Nie Yuan took advantage of the gap to glance over there, and sure enough, the man in black took the account book and wanted to run. Nie Yuan immediately shot out something, and the man in black saw the shot thing, and subconsciously blocked it with his sword, but as a result, the bag of powder-like things was cut by his sword and scattered on his clothes.

The man in black didn't bother either, picked up the account book and flew away. The other men in black saw that he had left safely, and gradually withdrew. It's just that the black-clothed people who dealt with Xia Ziyan who dealt with Nie Yuan failed to escape and committed suicide one after another.

"Oh, it's a pity, I still let them run, what now?" Qiu Luoxue said with a look of regret, after such a big circle, she still didn't get anything, which is really infuriating.

"Don't worry, the shadow guard has already gone after him." Nie Yuan said.

"Do you still have a shadow guard?" Qiu Luoxue was surprised.

"It was arranged by the emperor." Nie Yuan replied.

This time, Qiu Luoxue was even more surprised, and asked, "Is the emperor?" Why? ”

"I must have expected those people to come to rob the account books, we surrounded the Lu family with great fanfare, they must know it, and they were afraid that we would find the account books in advance, so they arranged for people to ambush nearby, just to prevent us from getting the account books." Xia Ziyan explained.

"Did he think of that a long time ago? Why didn't I think of that? Qiu Luoxue asked stupidly.

Xia Ziyan glanced at her and said, "Because you are stupid, alas~ Is it really okay to let you be the prime minister?" You may be the stupidest prime minister in the history of my Great Qin. ”

Qiu Luoxue glanced at Xia Ziyan, because she couldn't refute it, so she simply ignored him, and asked Nie Yuandao again: "But just now, several people in black escaped, and they all wore the same clothes, in case they ran away separately, do the shadow guards have enough manpower?"

"Don't worry, I just sprinkled a packet of phosphor on the man in black who took the account book, and the shadow guard will find him based on the phosphor." Nie Yuan said.

"It's worthy of my family's Nie stone, and what I think about is thoughtful." Qiu Luoxue praised.

The fireworks signal exploded when the three of them spoke, this was a unique firework used by the shadow guard, Nie Yuan saw it at a glance, and said, "It's the signal of the shadow guard."

"Let's go." Xia Ziyan said.

Then the three of them left the Prime Minister's Mansion and rode to the place where the signal came. Since Qiu Luoxue couldn't ride a horse, she could only ride a horse with Nie Yuan, she sat in front, and Nie Yuan surrounded her from behind, grabbed the reins, and urged the horse forward. The cool breeze of the night blew Qiu Luoxue's hair, and the hair occasionally floated to Nie Yuan's cheeks, bringing a burst of fragrance and stirring Nie Yuan's fiery heart.

"Haha, it's like riding a horse, it's amazing." Qiu Luoxue, who was riding a horse for the first time, said excitedly, "If you have time in the future, you can teach me to ride a horse." ”

"Okay." Nie Yuan agreed, seeing Qiu Luoxue's excited child-like face, when she turned to speak to herself, the two were very close, her breath hit Nie Yuan's face, and there was a burst of warmth.

I don't know how long I walked, but they stopped in the backyard of a house, and judging from the specifications of the yard, it was also a big family.

"A quarter of an hour ago, the man in black went in from here." As soon as the three of them arrived, the shadow guard hidden in the shadows appeared and reported.

"Inner history Cheng Wei Qing, interesting." When Xia Ziyan saw the backyard, he knew who the person who robbed the account book was, and he hooked his lips and smiled evilly.

"Do you know who it is before you even go in?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"The streets and alleys of the capital, this king is still very familiar, let's go, let's go to meet the inner history of Daqin." Xia Ziyan said confidently, Qiu Luoxue looked at him at the moment, and it seemed that he was very different from the merry prince in the past.

After Wei Qing got the account book, he thought about it for a long time, and finally threw the account book into the burning brazier, and the flames flared up, burning the account book little by little.

When Qiu Luoxue and the others pushed the door in, they happened to see the scene of the account book being burned in the brazier, Nie Yuan was the fastest to react, and when he saw it, he drew his sword and rushed up to knock over the brazier, Qiu Luoxue then followed, and stomped on it with his feet.

"Alas~ I'm annoyed, it's still a step too late, only these burning confetti are left, what should I do?" Qiu Luoxue picked up the debris on the ground and said with a sad face.

After that, she looked at Wei Qing viciously and said, "No, I said you, how can you be so extreme, you will die without the account book."

"I can't live with the books." Wei Qing said, it seems that he had expected this ending for a long time, and now he is not afraid at all.

"Where is Lu Wenxuan?" Xia Ziyan saw that there was no account book, and he didn't say anything.

Wei Qing didn't mean to hide it at all, and said, "In the West Courtyard."

The account books were burned, and it was useless to say more, so I could only wait for the emperor to dispose of it. Now the key is to catch Lu Wenxuan and find the woman named Xiyue, there are too many people who have died tonight, and there can be no more lives.

When the three of them came to the west courtyard, the lights were still on in the master bedroom, and from time to time there were women's shouts and men's roars.

"This perverted guy isn't going to be beating people again." Qiu Luoxue heard the voice of the master bedroom and said.

Nie Yuan was still the first to rush in, because if there was danger, he would block them all, and if he couldn't block them, he would give the people behind time to escape. Xia Ziyan was the second to enter, and Qiu Luoxue followed him.

But Xia Ziyan came out again as soon as he walked in, blocking Qiu Luoxue behind him and saying, "He has no clothes on, you can go in later." With that, he went in.

Qiu Luoxue waited outside for about a minute, and heard the sound of clanging inside, and then Nie Yuan pressed Lu Wenxuan out, while Xia Ziyan supported Xiyue, her face was injured, her hair was messy, and her clothes were tattered, just like the first time Qiu Luoxue saw her in Fengyue Tower.

Seeing Xiyue's appearance, Qiu Luoxue immediately became sympathetic and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Xiyue see the Prime Minister." Xiyue didn't forget to salute when she saw Qiu Luoxue, but because she was beaten too hard, she could barely stand on her own.

Seeing this, Qiu Luoxue hurriedly held Xiyue and said, "No need to be polite. Before you heal, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and no one will bully you there. ”

At this time, it is late at night, and the matter is over, but this does not mean that everything will be calm, this is just the beginning of troubled times.
