The sun had turned yellow, and the light and shadow cast through the gaps in the foliage were no longer distinct.

Li Yan stood at the intersection, surrounded by silence.

This intersection is where Xiao Zhuo separates from Chi Tang and Lu Qi.

Li Yan looked around, there was nothing abnormal, and there were no clues.

He frowned, and was about to raise his feet to the south, when suddenly, the wind blew the leaves and fell, and there was a rattle above his head, and his heart moved, and he raised his head.

The color of the leaves on the top of the head gradually changes, and there are still lush leaves, and between the branches and leaves, there are faint shadows.

Li Yan's eyes shrank, and he suddenly rose to the ground, and when he fell, a petite and soft body was already hanging in the crook of his arm, and he recognized a face with his eyes closed.

It's Lu Qi!

"Send it to Mrs. Yan Guo, don't make a noise!"

As the words fell, a secret guard appeared silently and took Lu Zishan away.

Li Yan stood in place, his heart gradually sinking.

This is where Xiao Zhuo and the two little girls are separated, Chi Tang goes first, followed by Xiao Zhuo, and Lu Qi is the last.

Lu Qi was attacked before he left, and it can be seen that the person who attacked Lu Qi has not been far away from them.

The disappearance of the little girl in the pool......

Li Yan's palms suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He pinched his palms and said in a low voice: "Leave four people to protect the person's card, six people to search the temple, eight people to search the back mountain, be sure to find Miss Chi!" ”

The wind was loud, but no one answered.

Except for what the secret guards of the East Palace are, they are all shadow-like existences.

Li Yan sorted out his thoughts and still walked towards the south.

Xiao Zhuo discovered the ambush in the back mountain, and left with Chi Tang and Lu Qi, who had inadvertently broken in, and parted ways when they arrived at the East Zen room.

Along the way, there have been people secretly accompanying them.

After Xiao Zhuo and Chi Tang left, the man attacked Lu Qi.

did not attack Xiao Zhuo, who went to find Chi Changting, but attacked Lu Qi, who was unaware, and may not be an accomplice to the assassins in the back mountain.

Knocked Lu Qi unconscious and put it in the treetops, it didn't hurt his life, he had just touched Lu Qi's pulse, even if no one rescued him, in another half an hour, Lu Qi would wake up by himself.

All this person did was let Lu Qi disappear for a while.

If Lu Qi doesn't disappear, what will she do?

Li Yan's ears moved, and he heard the staccato sound of the piano coming from the other side of the corner, as if someone was adjusting the strings.

Turning the corner, I saw an open door, and the sound of the piano came from the door.

Li Yan walked to the door and looked inside, a man in white was sitting at the piano table, but the piano was not on the table, but on his lap.

He is not adjusting the strings, but plucking them with his left hand, and his right hand resting on his right knee, in a somewhat uninhibited posture.

Although this person Li Yan has never seen it, he can guess it.

Jiangdu Qinshi Qin Gui is slightly different from the rumors.

Qin Gui seemed to sense that someone was coming at the door, pointed to the next pause, turned his head to look, and showed a gentle smile: "Is it the guard of the Taishou Mansion?" Also here to find Miss Chi? ”

Li Yan's eyes moved: "Who else has come to look for it?" ”

"There are only two girls who claim to be from Miss Chi's side, and they have come here to ask-" Qin Gui smiled and raised his hand to the south and pointed to the south, "Miss Chi did come a quarter of an hour ago, stood at the door and listened to my song, and then went out to the south." ”

Li Yan hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Qin Gui smiled and bowed in return.

Before Li Yan left, he took one last look at him.

Radiant, gentle, gentle, is the posture of a celebrity.

He turned to the south, took two steps, suddenly stopped, and then rose up, through the dim and mottled light and shadow, passed by the window of the meditation room just now, paused for a moment, turned north, and went straight to the back mountain.

Qin Gui has no flaws.

The flaw is on Lu Qi!

If Lu Qi hadn't been attacked, she would have followed the direction Chi Tang had left and found her shortly after Chi Tang entered the Qin Gui Meditation Room!

Secretly, that person attacked Lu Qi, and only then did Chi Tang and Qin Gui have a short time alone.

Although it could not be proved that it was related to Qin Gui, and Qin Gui's motive could not be found, it did not prevent Li Yan from doubting him.

Besides, there were already two handmaidens in that direction to look for him, so there was no need for him to run again.

Within a radius of ten miles, the mountains are deep and the forests are secluded, the broken light has become hazy, and the sound of weapons fighting from the west is full of shadows, and there is a strange sense of tranquility.

Chi Taishou's beloved daughter, life is valuable.

If you want to be tied up as a hostage, you will naturally be brought to Chi Changting, as long as the person appears, everything is easy to say, but there is no movement on Chi Changting's side.

I'm afraid that the other party has other plans.

After Li Yan entered the mountain forest, he looked around.

After the eight secret guards dispersed inside, they were long gone.

After dark, this deep mountain forest is even more difficult to search.

Li Yan took a deep breath and walked east.

After only a few steps, suddenly there was a pause in his feet-

The other party attacked and hid Lu Qi in order not to let Lu Qi do anything; Will that kidnap and hide Chitang, and just don't let her do anything?

If that's the case—

Suddenly, a series of rustling sounds sounded on the top.

Li Yan looked up suddenly, and saw a black mass smashing down on him from between the branches and leaves that covered the sky.

As the prince of the East Palace, Li Yan has never been taught to sacrifice his life for righteousness, but that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and when he sees such a situation, he subconsciously dodges sideways.

As soon as he moved away, he heard a short exclamation of "ah", which scratched his heart softly.

Li Yan didn't have time to think about it, and one of them rushed forward and took the black ball that fell from the tree in his arms.

The tentacles are silky fabrics, a petite one in the crook of the arm, and the scattered fine soft hair brushes the back of the hand, itching lightly, full of a slightly sweet fragrance.

Li Yan was in a trance for a moment and hurriedly put her down.

As soon as she let go, the little girl slid down all over, and Li Yan hurriedly helped her on both armpits-

Under the palm, it is as soft as a boneless.

He couldn't help but feel hot at the root of his ears, silently moved his hand up, instead held her shoulders, and whispered, "Miss Chi? Are you okay? ”

The little girl Chi who fell from the sky seemed to be frightened, and she kept silent after falling, if it weren't for the straight neck, Li Yan would almost suspect that she fainted in fright.

Listening to his call, the little girl finally woke up, but she shrank back, broke away from his hand and retreated, accidentally tilted her body, and suddenly exhaled in pain.

Li Yan hurriedly held her up, looked down, and saw that she was standing on one foot, but the other foot was weak.

"Broken foot?" Li Yan frowned and asked.

The little girl didn't answer, her eyes widened with tears, and she asked loudly, "You, who are you?" ”

The deliberately raised voice startled two or three forest birds, almost hiding the light tremor in her voice.

In the dim light, the apricot eyes were shiny and sparkling, and the small body was tense and tight, and the color was so strong that it was pitiful.

Li Yan carefully supported her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid...... I am, I'm the guard of the king's side. ”

Her eyes must have sparkled, her gaze moved down, and she looked at the outfit on his body, and her tense shoulder line suddenly relaxed, but there was a trace of doubt: "Have I seen you?" ”
