Changgen is still looking carefully in the same place, trying to find some clues, but now that it is dark, the footprints of people and horses are not clear, how can they be easy to find?

"Did you find anything?" Xu An had already returned, returning the sword to the chief and asked.

"No, they don't deliberately hide their traces, in order to lure us into the bait, but now it's getting late and it's hard to look for it. By the way, what did you do just now? What are you holding in your hand?" Chang Geng shook his head, and then saw the paper bag in Xu An's hand and asked.

"The beef given by Liu Lao Er will be kept first. Xu An nodded and returned.

"It's not... When is this all the time, you still want to grab a bag of beef... Did you still drink another bowl of wine?" Chang Geng was instantly anxious when he heard Xu An's words, and immediately jumped up and said, and then his nose twitched again, and there was still the smell of wine?

Chang Geng saw Xu An take the sword, and when he came back, he took another bag of beef, thinking that he had robbed this bag of beef.

"You know the, I know who did it. Xu An wiped the spit on his face, and then pushed Chang a little farther away.

"Who?" asked Chang Geng, pulling out the floating water and holding it up.

"Lin Ying. Xu An said lightly.

"Lin Ying, didn't Lin Ying save us and help us kill that team of robbers?" the chief asked even more puzzled.

Xu An didn't think that it was just ordinary robbers who kidnapped Ah Li, this place was only less than twenty miles away from the city, and even if ordinary robbers dared to rob people outside the city, they would not even remove the traces of war horses and fights.

And Xu An knew that Ah Li's strength was not weak, although she was injured, it would not affect the battle, if she was just an ordinary robber, Ah Li would not be able to escape.

There are only three people who know Xu An's route, Lin Ying, Lin Pinggui and Liu Laoer, Xu An still thinks that Lin Pinggui will not do this kind of kidnapping threat, his biggest suspicion is Liu Laoer, so he will take his sword back to find out, but now it doesn't seem to look like Liu Laoer, and the rest of the people are only Lin Ying.

"I thought the same as you just now, and I also thought that Lin Ying was here to save us, but now that I think about it, he is just helping his father out of the siege. I always thought that if Lin Yingru wanted to kill me at that time, I would not be able to live, so when Jiang Li disappeared, I was the first to eliminate him. Xu An said.

"That's right, at that time, Lin Ying led hundreds of Zhennan troops, and your spiritual power had been exhausted, it was easy for Lin Ying to kill you, why did he go around in such a big circle? And he also insisted on letting the Zhennan army go with him, wouldn't it be a contradiction if he wanted to kill you?" Chang asked even more puzzled.

Changgen suddenly thought of something, and then reacted and asked, "Are you saying that Lin Ying is doing this to eliminate his suspicion?"

"You're right, since Lin Pinggui didn't kill me, it means that someone has already passed, otherwise Lin Pinggui wouldn't have stopped, and someone in Lin Ying would definitely not do it, Lin Ying proposed to let the Zhennan Army follow the behavior is to eliminate their own suspicions. Xu An sat down and said.

"But I still don't understand, Zhennan Jun is with him, isn't it even more difficult for him to kill you? If Zhennan Jun is with him, you are still killed, wouldn't it be more convincing for his crime?" Chang asked more and more suspiciously.

"Not all of the Zhennan troops are with them, and they can't let people know that I am back to the capital, so the number of people accompanying me will not be large, what if those Zhennan troops who are accompanying them are Lin Ying's own people?" Xu An asked.

"You mean Lin Ying is raising private soldiers! He wants to rebel?"

"Stop, stop, where did it go, there is no doubt about the loyalty of Lin Ying and Lin Pinggui, some generals are only loyal to their own subordinates, and they are not private soldiers. Xu An said speechlessly.

"But if you are killed by the Zhennan Army, it is different or you still have to blame Lin Ying's head?"

"King Hui'an was assassinated in Beichang, and several Zhennan soldiers were escorted to death, so would anyone still suspect Lin Ying?" Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

"Are you saying that the people Lin Ying wants to send to accompany him are all dead soldiers?

In this way, Lin Ying is not even able to protect himself. Xu An continued.

"Being able to kill King Hui'an and several Zhennan troops, this is by no means something that ordinary small forces can do, such a powerful force suddenly appeared in the south, no matter how you think about it, it is inseparable from Lin Ying. Chang Geng still asked puzzled.

"This is also a question I don't understand, until I thought of Liu Laoer's words on the way back just now, and all this unreasonableness can be solved. Xu An said with a smile.

"What?"

Liu Lao Er said that he would not kill cows, and that only when someone helped kill cattle could he have beef to eat. ”

"What does this have to do with killing cows and eating beef?"

"Lin Ying can't bear the charge of killing me, then he needs someone to help him, and it is Chu Guo who can help him bear this charge. Xu An said.

The more Chang Geng listened, the more confused he became, and asked a little anxiously: "What does this have to do with the State of Chu? Do you mean that Lin Ying has already received the news that the State of Chu is going to war with the State of Qi? But isn't it unpleasant for the State of Chu to anger you Beichang at this time?"

"It is true, but it can also be said in another way, the state of Chu and the state of Qi are preparing to fight, and Beichang's position has become extremely important, and the state of Chu is afraid that Beichang will send troops to aid Qi, so he assassinates the king of Hui'an to provoke civil strife in Beichang. Xu An said.

"What kind of war can you provoke by assassination? You are not the lord of the country. ”

"The lord of the country is so easy to kill? Those officials all know that the situation in Beichang is tense, and they only need to think a little to easily make the state of Chu bear this black cauldron. Xu An looked at Chang Geng like a fool and said.

"The judgment of the people is because of you, do you mean that they will think that the state of Chu wants to assassinate the king of Hui'an to hasten the rebellion of those traitors, so that Beichang will not be able to spare troops to help Qi if he has no time to take care of himself?"

"That's what it means, if you straighten out these, you can be sure that Lin Ying sent someone to rob Jiang Li. Xu An said.

"Why did Lin Ying kill you?" asked Chang Geng suspiciously.

"His father wants to kill me, if I don't die, then I will still be the King of Hui'an of the Beichang Empire after returning to the capital, and I still have the Spirit Academy as a backer, he is afraid that I will retaliate when I return, so Lin Ying saved me for his father, and killed me for his father. ”

"But how did Lin Ying know that Jiang Li would run out alone and then lurk here?" asked Chang Geng again.

"It's very simple, we didn't walk fast with injuries, and we didn't change direction all the way north, he just had to figure out our footsteps in advance. As for Jiang Li's running out alone, it was indeed an accident, his target was me, but if it was too late today to distinguish the figure, they should have heard the sound of a war horse and moved. Xu An said.

"It's still not right, since I want to kill you, I won't keep my hand, but there is no blood on the ground. ”

"I really admire your ingenuity, it's not easy to see clearly when it's dark, don't they know if it's a man or a woman when they fight?" Xu An said speechlessly.

"I understand, when they fought it, they found out that it wasn't you, so they simply kidnapped Jiang Li. ”

"They knew that I hadn't recovered yet, so they should have been ambushing in place for a while, making sure that I wouldn't pass by tonight, so they didn't clear the traces of the fight, in order to let us know that Jiang Li had been robbed, and we should be able to find their whereabouts in the direction of the footprints after dawn. ”

"Wait until after dawn to follow the footprints to save people, anything can happen this night!" Chang Geng instantly stood up and waved the floating water, Long Yuan said very anxiously.

"It's not to save people, it's to ask for people, after dawn, I went to Lin Ying to ask him to release people. ”

"Why don't you go now?"

"Lin Ying wants to kill me, won't I send me to death when I go over at night? Do I dare to go?

"Will Lin Ying release him?" will Jiang Li have an accident tonight?" asked Chang Geng, who was more and more worried.

Lin Ying shouldn't admit it. It's just speculation, and we don't have any evidence to get him to go. As for security, don't worry, they need Jiang Li as a hostage, they won't do anything to her. Xu An said after thinking about it.

"Then we'll follow the footprints after dawn to save people. Chang said more and more anxiously.

"The last thing I want to do is save people, because they must have prepared an ambush. The most important thing is that if those people put their swords on Jiang Li's neck and make you give up resistance, what will you do?" Xu An shook his head and asked.

"I... I certainly won't give up resistance. The chief replied that he knew that threatening hostages was the usual trick of the kidnappers, and that agreeing to give up resistance would not only not save people, but would simply send them to death.

"If you hesitate, then you don't have to go tomorrow to save people, you go to Lin Ying and ask him to release people, and I will save people. Xu An said.

"Okay, be careful. Chang Geng didn't think much about it, and handed the floating water dragon yuan in his hand to Xu An.

The division of labor between the two has been clear, and Chang Geng doesn't need a sword, because he is going to Wanqiu City, and Lin Ying can't resist if he wants to kill him, even if he takes a sword, he is blind.

"You seem to be worried about her?" Xu An took the floating water, Long Yuan looked at Chang Geng with interest and asked.

"I saved her when I was a kid and treated her like my sister, so of course I was worried. Chang Geng said with a light sigh.

"Tomorrow, if Lin Ying pretends to be confused with you, you will tell him the news that General Lin has left the capital, and Dean Mu has already learned about it, and he will naturally give up when he hears this. "Now in this situation, Xu An is not in the mood to laugh at Chang Chang, it is rare to be serious.

"Lin Ying wants to kill you, I'm afraid that you will embarrass his father after you return to the capital. At this time, if you die, no matter what others think, Dean Mu must think that Lin Pinggui killed you?" asked after thinking about it.

"That's right, the powerhouse of the iQue Realm, Lin Ying doesn't dare to gamble with his father's life, as long as Lin Ying knows that he can't kill me, then he will definitely order Ah Li to be released, as for you..."

"How am I?" asked the long.

"Nine deaths and one life, even if Lin Ying knows that he can't kill me anymore, but you go to Wanqiu City alone, if he wants to kill you, I can't do it. Xu An sighed and said.

"Then let's go to Wanqiu together. Chang Geng said.

"No, we can't save Jiang Li at all if we go together, if Lin Ying agrees to release him, it proves that he was arrested, so he will definitely not admit it. Someone had to watch the kidnappers and keep them from taking the hostages. Xu An shook his head and said.

"Then I'm going to watch those kidnappers, you go to Wanqiu City, you said that Lin Ying didn't dare to kill you. Changgen scratched his head and turned back to speak.

"If you go to save people, you will also die, because you will definitely be threatened, and their purpose is me, not you. Xu An said speechlessly.

"Then so be it, I'll go to Wanqiu City, and you will save people. Chang Geng gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.

"Good luck, if something happens to you, I'll help you take care of Jiang Li. Xu An said with a smile.

"I... Lin Ying may not necessarily kill me, you also said that their purpose is to kill you, what's the use of killing me?" Chang Geng said speechlessly.

"Tomorrow, if you want to live, let as many people as possible know what your name is, what you look like, and whose orders you are to go to. Xu An continued.

Chang knew that Xu An's words were to let people know that he had gone to Lin Ying, so if Lin Ying wanted to kill himself, he would have to think carefully about whether he could eliminate the evidence.

"But the defenders in Wanqiu City are all Lin Ying's people, even if those defenders know that I have entered Wanqiu City, it is useless. Chang Geng said.

"The Zhennan Army is a national army, not Lin Ying's private soldiers. Xu An said lightly.

Chang Geng nodded, then looked at Xu An and said seriously: "Well, help me take care of Jiang Li." ”
