In an alley in Hangzhou City, at night, the surrounding silence is terrible. There was no pedestrian around, Yue Shaoan frowned, threw a corpse in the abandoned debris next to him to cover it up, patted his hands lightly, brushed off the dust on his body, and was about to leave, when he suddenly felt that there was a person behind him staring at him quietly. He was shocked, suddenly struck, with a force under his feet, and suddenly, the five fingers of his right hand slammed into the opponent's neck, lifting the person up with one hand, and at the same time the elbow of the other hand hit the opponent's temple, and the knee was also aimed at the opponent's lower abdomen.

Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly saw a pair of frightened eyes looking at him, with a complicated expression in his eyes full of disbelief. He was slow, saw the other party's face clearly through the faint light, hurriedly let go of his hand, and said in surprise: "Xiao Qi, why are you?" ”

Xiao Qi looked at him in horror, coughing with his hands on his neck, still unable to hide the horror in his eyes, and said, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, it's really ......"

"Really?" Yue Shao'an looked at him like this, and couldn't help but laugh all the time.

This smile is normal in normal times, but at this moment, it looks extremely hideous in Xiao Qi's eyes. As if sensing death beckoning to him, he shrunk into the corner of the wall, not daring to move.

"Xiao Qi, why are you here?" Yue Shaoan looked at him like this, so he didn't plan to scare him anymore, and asked softly.

"I saw that my eldest brother was so late and came out alone, I was a little worried, so I followed ......"

"So, you've seen everything?"

"I didn't see ......" Xiao Qi hurriedly shook his head, and then found that he wouldn't even believe such a lie, let alone let Yue Shaoan believe it, so the words he said became more and more unconfident, and in the end, he simply lowered his head.

Yue Shaoan glanced at him, slowly walked to his side, and reached out to pat Xiao Qi's shoulder. Xiao Qi jumped up and screamed. Yue Shao'an's face changed slightly, although this place is quiet, but there is another place in Hangzhou City that can be uninhabited, and there are residents around it, this voice came out, and it didn't alarm all the people around.

Yue Shaoan didn't have time to explain, so he grabbed him and said, "Hurry up." ”

Xiao Qi was so shocked that his feet were paralyzed, and he was almost dragged away by Yue Shaoan, stumbling along the way, and when he walked into a place where the crowd was increasing, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Seeing this, Yue Shaoan laughed, pulled him closer, put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let you drink less, you just don't listen." It's good now, shame on you......"

When these words came out, the people around them applied clearly, and they were interested in watching the fight, but in the face of the two drunks, they were afraid to avoid it, and there was still an interest in watching.

Xiao Qi's face was pale, his heart was unusually messy, he wanted to escape, but he didn't dare, his legs walked crookedly, and his calves and stomach were constantly confined. It looked very awkward, but fortunately, Yue Shaoan declared in advance that the two were drunk, which did not attract the special attention of passers-by.

Looking at Xiao Qi's appearance, Yue Shaoan said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything now." I'll explain it to you when I get back. With that, he dragged him away quickly.

The two of them settled in Hangzhou City at a small inn, which is relatively remote, but the environment is good. The space of the room is relatively large, and the sound insulation is good. Therefore, Yue Shaoan didn't have to look for any hidden place, and went straight back to the inn.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Qi suddenly calmed down, but his face was still pale and said, "Big brother, you, you...... Are you going to kill me? ”

Yue Shao'an somehow heard Xiao Qi say this at this moment, but he felt a faint pain in his heart, sighed lightly, and said, "Xiao Qi, in your eyes, is the eldest brother so unbearable?" ”

Xiao Qi raised his head blankly and looked at Yue Shao'an: "Big brother, Xiao Qi is just a little beggar, I don't know this." I—I don't know what's going on......"

Yue Shao Anmai walked to the table and sat down. was silent, too thinking about whether to tell Xiao Qi his identity, if he said it, he would be inconvenient to come forward in the future, and he could rest assured that he would leave it to Xiao Qi. Not as passive as it is now. However, with Qin Susu's experience, he hesitated a little. Although he understood that Xiao Qi was not a person like Qin Susu, he regarded his life safety as a gamble. He still didn't have the courage to do it. Besides, with Xiao Qi's current reaction, if he knew his identity, he would probably be so frightened that he left.

After thinking about it, in the end, Yue Shaoan gave up the idea of telling his identity. Slowly turned his head and said softly, "Xiao Qi, since you call me big brother, then I will treat you as a brother." We haven't known each other for a long time, but, during this time, we've all come together together. Do you think that I am a man who killed his brother for fear of revealing his secret? If that's the case. Then I have nothing to say, I can only say that I have failed too much as a person, and I actually let my brother have such a misunderstanding. The door is there, you can go, stay away from me, maybe it will give you some peace of mind......"

Yue Shao'an said this, but Xiao Qi hesitated, before entering the door, he was thinking about how to escape, but after hearing Yue Shao'an's words, he had no intention of leaving. After a pause, Xiao Qi walked over slowly, looking at Yue Shao'an's somewhat helpless and painful expression, Xiao Qi said uneasily: "Big brother, I, I was frightened at the time. I didn't mean it, when I saw my eldest brother killing people, I remembered the scene when I was chased and killed by the Jinren...... I—I don't know how I could be like this......"

Actually, Xiao Qi thought like that at the time, and he couldn't blame him entirely. In order to hide his identity, Yue Shao'an also concealed Xiao Qi along the way, although Xiao Qi didn't understand, but he felt it. Therefore, subconsciously, Xiao Qi thought that the secret that Yue Shao'an kept was extremely important, and even he couldn't know it, so under the panic, it would be like this.

Yue Shaoan looked at him and asked solemnly, "Xiao Qi, will you report the murder of your eldest brother to the official?" ”

Xiao Qi thought about it and shook his head.

Yue Shaoan was a little relieved and said, "There are some things that you can't let you know now, but in the future, you will definitely understand the hardships of the eldest brother, and know that there is a reason why I have to do this now." You rest first, I'll go out for a ......"

Xiao Qi nodded blankly. Yue Shaoan stood up, glanced at him meaningfully, and walked out of the house. The sound of the door closing gently fell on Xiao Qi's ears, making him startled suddenly, and he looked at the door blankly......-

Although the war has just passed, the city of Hangzhou is still full of pedestrians and is very lively, and it seems that it has not been affected. There was a thin layer of fog in the sky, and the sky was a little unrealistic. Although Yue Shao'an's current dress is not particularly familiar to people who can't recognize him, he still pays attention to his whereabouts and doesn't dare to walk in crowded places. Because, not long ago, he was followed, which made him extremely vigilant.

Although, that person has already let him kill. However, he was not sure that his whereabouts had been noticed, so he put the matter of contacting the Inspectorate of Secrets on hold. He did not want to cause the OIOS unnecessary loss because of his presence. Because, the stronghold he knows is the most important department of the Supervision Department in Hangzhou, if something goes wrong here. It is likely that the imperial court will dig up too many things. If that were the case, the inspectorate's intelligence network in the north would be completely paralyzed. This is something he cannot afford to lose......

However, now that he is in danger, he can no longer delay in the inn. After all, there are too many people coming and going in and out of the inn every day, and besides, this is Hangzhou City, and there are really many people who know him. If you can't find a hidden place, you are likely to wake up and the knife is already on your neck, which is definitely possible.

After thinking about it, Yue Shaoan suddenly felt that the road here was very familiar, he subconsciously raised his head, only to see two vermilion gates appear in front of him, and the plaque on the top of the door was impressively written with four big characters "Jinghang Academy".
