"By the way, how did you find out something was wrong with that inn?"

She looked at Xie Fuyi.

Xie Fuyi acted like a trick and took out two vegetarian buns wrapped in oiled paper.

"Listen to me while you eat."

Qi Yan happened to be hungry too, so he took it unceremoniously.

"Say it." She took a bite of the bun, her cheeks bulging from the food, and she was very satisfied.

Xie Fuyi had a soft smile in his eyes: "Actually, it's very simple......"

"Simple?" Qi Yan tilted his head, chewing on the bun with his cheeks, bulging.

Xie Fuyi smiled: "I've been to that inn." ”

Qi Yan: "......"

"But it's been a long time since you last went to that inn, right?" Qi Yan said, "Do you remember it so clearly? ”

Xie Fuyi said: "This is only one aspect, don't you smell the smell around the inn?" ”

"Smell?" Qi Yan blinked and said, "When you say that, I remember that the wine at that time was quite strong." ”

However, it was normal for the inn to smell of alcohol, and Qi Yan didn't think much about it at all.

Xie Fuyi shook his head slightly and said, "What is hidden in the smell of wine is the smell of blood." ”

"The smell of blood?" Qi Yan was dumbfounded.

Xie Fu Yi bowed his head and said, "So, there is definitely something wrong with that inn." ”

Qi Yan looked at him: "So...... You found out as soon as you walked in the door? ”

"yes."

"Then why are you still in?" Qi Yan said, "We can completely avoid it." ”

Xie Fuyi couldn't cry or laugh: "Qi Yan, there are some things that we can't avoid by dodging." ”

"You mean, they're targeting us?"

Xie Fu Yi bowed: "Obviously, it is aimed at us." ”

Qi Yan suddenly thought of an incident that had happened before, when one of the assassins called Xie Fuyi's name......

"I think I might be able to guess who sent the assassin this time." Xie Fuyi said.

"Who?" Qi Yan took the last bite of the bun and looked at Xie Fuyi.

Xie Fuyi didn't answer directly, but said: "We only offended two groups of people in Youzhou. ”

Qi Yan: "You mean...... Oden and Tatar ......"

"It's Auden and Zhao Lingsu." Xie Fuyi said.

Qi Yan said: "Zhao Lingsu's words, he is too busy to take care of himself now, right?" ”

Then there is still energy and time to find someone to assassinate Xie Fuyi.

Xie Fu Yi disagreed, and said: "Although the Zhao family has offended the two people, but ...... After all, his family is there, and it will take time to completely uproot it. And ......"

Xie Fu Yi paused and continued: "Now Auden and Zhao Lingsu have a common enemy in a certain way. ”

As he spoke, Gongzi Xie pointed to his nose.

Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said with a smile: "So, the assassin this time is likely to be ...... The two of them teamed up to send it? Or could it be sent by one of them? ”

"I'm more inclined to the latter." Xie Fuyi said.

Qi Yan's eyebrows raised slightly: "What do you say?" ”

"The assassin who came, his strength is not good." Xie Fuyi was blunt.

Qi Yan: "......"

Xie Fuyi said: "If the two of them join forces, it stands to reason that they will not find so many flaws like this...... What kind of group of Assassins to hire at what price, this assassination ...... It's not that good. ”

"Really?" Qi Yan has some different opinions.

Xie Fuyi turned his head to look at her.

Qi Yan said: "I met you this time, if I met someone like me...... It is estimated that it has been poisoned a long time ago. ”

Xie Fuyi was slightly stunned.

Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, Xie Fu Yi...... You've been an eye-opener for me. ”

"Oh, how about that?" Xie Fuyi asked.

Qi Yan said: "Along the way, I feel more and more that you don't seem to be a simple businessman. ”

"What does that look like?"

Qi Yan thought about it, and couldn't think of a suitable and appropriate statement for a while, she said: "I can't tell, anyway, I don't look like a businessman...... It's a bit of the kind of feeling in the rivers and lakes, right? ”

"Jianghu?"

"It's just similar, but it's different." Qi Yan said.

Xie Fu Yi smiled, returned to his previous smiling appearance, and said: "I am me, I have always been me, Qi Yan, you have paid too little attention to me......

Qi Yan glanced at Xie Fu Yi.

"Have you eaten enough?" Xie Fuyi asked her with a smile.

Qi Yan nodded and took a deep breath: "I'm full, but I haven't seen enough." ”

The sun has completely set, and the color of the lake is gradually darkening......

Xie Fu Yi stretched out his hand at Qi Yan and said, "Go back?" ”

Qi Yan smiled, nodded, and said, "Well, go back." ”

Although he promised so, Qi Yan didn't have the consciousness to stretch out his hand at all.

Xie Fu Yi still stretched out his hand, wanting to lead Qi Yan back, he motioned to Qi Yan: "The road is not easy to walk." ”

Qi Yan said: "It's okay, you lead the way in front, I'll follow you, and I'm not a child anymore, so I can't lose it." ”

"Qi Yan ......"

"Let's go." Qi Yan still didn't stretch out his hand.

In the end, Xie Fuyi could only sigh.

Just as Qi Yan was about to leave behind him, Xie Fuyi stepped forward and held Qi Yan's hand.

"Xie Fuyi, you ......"

"Let's go." Gongzi Xie smiled, and directly pulled Qi Yan away.

Qi Yan struggled a few times, but she couldn't break free, and soon, she gave up.

…………

…………

From the lake, the two walked through the dense forest, and returned to the familiar inn again, and the guards had already cleaned up the inn.

The bodies were no longer visible.

Mingming walked up and said, "Childe, I'm asking." ”

Xie Fuyi said: "Who sent it?" Where is the killer? ”

"It's a killer from Youzhou, called Xuanjimen." Clever said, "The person who hired them is Zhao Lingsu." ”

"Only Zhao Lingsu?"

"Well, it's only Zhao Lingsu." Smart nodded and continued, "The assassin said that Zhao Lingsu took out the Zhao family's heirlooms and used them to hire them. Let them intercept and kill their sons at any cost. ”

When Xie Fuyi heard this, he sneered: "She really bothered." ”

"Childe, what are you going to do?" Smart asked.

Xie Fuyi said: "Let that assassin go back and bring a message to Zhao Qingyi, saying that we will exchange courtesies." ”

"Just put that assassin back? Do you want to leave one of his eyes......"

"Ahem!" At this time, Xie Fuyi suddenly coughed lightly.

After a moment's cleverness, he suddenly noticed Qi Yan standing beside Xie Fuyi.

"Uh......" The words in the smart mouth were stuck, and the little guy scratched the back of his head and looked at Qi Yan a little crampedly.

"Young lady, I just can't say that because I can't get angry...... Am I talking about too scary? Smart licked his lips and asked in a low voice.

Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone has come to our life, and if we can spare his life, we are already repaying our grievances with virtue." ”

She didn't say the latter words, but it was obvious that Qi Yan's words before she was smart couldn't scare Qi Yan at all.

"Let's talk first." Qi Yan said, waving his hand, "I'll go rest first." ”

Xie Fu Yi watched Qi Yan leave, and then turned his head to look at Congming.

Clever scratched the back of his head and said, "Childe, that assassin ......"

Xie Fuyi waved his hand and said, "Just let people go back to see Zhao Qingyi alive." ”

"Understood." 139 Chinese

"And." Xie Fuyi said again, "Zhao Qingyi, speed up your movements, you don't need to leave her alive." ”

"Yes."

…………

…………

Qi Yan rested in the inn for the night.

The next day, he came out with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't sleep well?" Xie Fuyi looked at Qi Yan who was downstairs and couldn't help asking.

Qi Yan was vague and said, "It's okay." ”

"Nightmare?" Xie Fuyi asked again.

Qi Yan laughed dryly: "No." ”

Although I didn't have nightmares, I still saw the scene of corpses all over the day, and I thought about it uncontrollably at night.

The more Qi Yan didn't want to think about it, the more his mind seemed to be right, and he kept thinking about it repeatedly.

"Hey......" Qi Yan sighed and sat listlessly opposite Xie Fuyi for breakfast.

Xie Fuyi picked up vegetables for her and said, "Eat more, we have to speed up the road ahead." ”

Qi Yan nodded vaguely.

"In about ten days, we will be able to return to Xujing." Xie Fuyi said.

Qi Yan was stunned, she still had eggs in her mouth, and she almost choked: "You, what did you say?" Ahem! ”

"I told you to eat slowly." Xie Fuyi sighed and helped Qi Yan Sheng Tang hand it over.

Qi Yan swallowed hard: "What did you just say?" Can you return to Yujing in ten days? ”

"Hmm." Xie Fuyi said, "Half a month." ”

"When we came, it was already very fast, and it took almost a month......

Go back now, you can get there in half a month?

Qi Yan was puzzled: "Are we going to rush overnight?" ”

"No, I'm going to take the waterway." Xie Fuyi said, "When we came to Youzhou before, we passed by Yanzhou, and this time we passed through Chongzhou and went back by water. Downstream, a day's journey on land is only a day on the water. ”

Qi Yan's eyes widened: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"When we came to Youzhou, we knew that there was a waterway, so why did we take the land route?"

Xie Fu Yi didn't speak, he looked at Qi Yan leisurely.

"What do you say?" He smiled and peeled the egg and put it in Qi Yan's bowl.

"I say?" Qi Yan was confused, "What do you want me to say?" ”

"Why don't you take the waterway." Xie Fu Yi said.

Qi Yan looked inexplicable: "How do I know?" ”

Xie Fuyi said: "Because of the long time to travel by land......"

"And then?" Qi Yan asked.

Xie Fuyi: "......"

"Speak." Qi Yan urged.

"No more." Xie Fu Yi said suddenly, his voice a little low.

"Huh?" Qi Yan is even more of a question mark.

"Let's eat." Xie Fu Yi said.

"But ......"

The doubts in Qi Yan's heart have not yet been solved, and he still has to ask, but Xie Fuyi on the other side has already eaten.

"You ......"

Qi Yan could only watch as Xie Fuyi got up and left.

"Young lady, great." At this time, the full moon came, "We can go back sooner." ”

"yes." Qi Yan's mind went to the waterway again, leaving behind the question he had asked Xie Fu Yi before.

…………

…………

Qi Yan ate breakfast and got into the car.

The group walked in the direction of Chongzhou.

Qi Yan looked at the different scenery outside the window and was in a good mood.

Xie Fuyi beside her looked a little unspeakably lost.

Qi Yan couldn't help but think of the question when he was eating breakfast.

Why didn't Xie Fuyi take the waterway when he came to Youzhou? Obviously, you can get to Youzhou by water, and you can go back earlier......

Is it because you have to wait until a specific time to get to Youzhou?

“……”

Qi Yan thought about it, and couldn't help but think of the three princes of the Rus Kingdom.

The man was killed, and the Assassin fled.

No one knows who is going to kill the third prince, he has made a lot of enemies, who did it to him, there are too many people who can be suspected, but there is really evidence to prove it, no.

Qi Yan looked at Xie Fu Yi who was close in front of him.

Who is behind the scenes, Qi Yan already knows in his heart. 、

It's just that some words can't be said on the surface.

Xie Fuyi's transaction with Zhao Lingsu mysteriously disappeared for several days, and Luo Twelve, who came back and didn't see anyone, and the subordinate who Xie Fuyi arranged to pretend to be submissive......

Qi Yan had already guessed the general situation of the matter.

She just said she didn't understand......

What role does Luo XII play here, is it the female assassin?

What about Xie Fuyi?

Why did he kill the Three Princes?

No, to be exact, did Luo Twelve want to kill the third prince, or did Xie Fu Yi want to do it?

They are in a relationship, Luo Twelve and Xie Fuyi are subordinates? Or is one side helping the other?

"What are you thinking? So fascinating? Xie Fuyi on the opposite side dispersed Qi Yan's thoughts.

"It's fine." Qi Yan said.

"Haven't you thought of it yet?" Xie Fuyi suddenly asked.

"What do you think?" Qi Yan blinked, puzzled.

"Why should I go by land?" Xie Fu Yi said.

Qi Yan licked his lips and said, "For the sake of ...... A little late to Youzhou? ”

Xie Fuyi's eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was looking forward to it: "Why do you want to go to Youzhou later?" ”

"Are you sure you want me to continue?" Qi Yan asked.

"yes." Xie Fuyi's face was innocent, waiting for Qi Yan to say.

"Because...... The banquet of the three princes? Qi Yan said, "If you go early, you will have to wait in Youzhou for a while before you can participate in the banquet of the three princes...... Right? ”

Xie Fuyi didn't speak, but the surprise in his eyes was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Qi Yan said: "Am I not right? ”

Xie Fuyi still didn't speak.

Qi Yan said: "There are only two of us in the car, so you don't have to hide it from me." ”

Xie Fu Yi let out a long sigh.

Qi Yan said again: "Don't worry, I won't ask you about the affairs of the Rus Kingdom." ”

Although she was a little curious, she definitely didn't have to know. Qi Yan understands that curiosity kills cats, so sometimes she deliberately suppresses her curiosity.

"No, it's not." Xie Fuyi said suddenly.

"What?"

"Qi Yan...... You ......" Xie Fuyi opened his mouth, and finally let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong with me?" Qi Yan asked rhetorically.

"Why did I choose to go by road...... You haven't thought about it...... Is it because of you? ”

"Because ......" Qi Yan pointed to the tip of his nose with a look of surprise, "Me? ”
