Shen Zhitang kept pacing back and forth, looking up at the door from time to time, and at a glance, he met Xia Huaixu's gaze

Xia Huaixu took a deep breath and turned back and forth anxiously

Li Jianqing and Shen Qiu walked into the courtyard quickly, Li Jianqing saw Shen Zhitang at a glance and stopped: "Teacher~ What's the matter with being in such a hurry to find students?" ”

Shen Zhitang raised his head: "Yesterday, I sent Fa Cao from Xilin City to the Blue Flag Army to investigate the news of Xia Chunjun, he has not come back yet, I went to his house to ask, and said that he did not return overnight."

Li Jianqing pondered for a while and said: "Teacher~, you also know that the Zhou family is the most unpopular with the person surnamed Li, so it's not appropriate for the student to go to this matter!" ”

Shen Zhitang shook his head and said, "I'll go to the Blue Flag Barracks with Xia Huaixu in a while, you and Changshi go to see someone, be sure to bring him to the Blue Flag Barracks."

Li Jianqing suddenly became nervous and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Shen Zhitang said: "A person you always want to see"

Li Jianqing was entangled for a while and said: "Students must do their best"

Shen Zhitang patted Li Jianqing's shoulder and said, "Let's have a good chat, maybe he can give you the answer you want"

Li Jianqing took a deep breath and slowly retreated, his heart had never been so flustered, that person was like a thorn in his heart since he began to explore his life experience, and now that he was going to see him, he retreated a little

Shen Zhitang looked at Li Jianqing's back and said, "Huai Xu~ Let's go!" ”

Xia Huaixu nodded: "Uncle~ Is this trip dangerous?" ”

Shen Zhitang's face showed a sad color: "The Zhou family doesn't treat me very well, and besides, the gold medal given by the emperor is still in the hands of Fa Cao."

Xia Huaixu nodded solemnly, "My nephew must do his best to protect his uncle's safety."

Shen Zhitang smiled and said: "Don't be too nervous, Zhou Congyi is bold, and it won't kill me, let's just delay time, if the next step of that poisonous insect is really to attack Xilin City, we still need the help of the army."

At this time, on the streets of Xilin City, Li Zhilian and Su Yun quickly walked through the crowd and came to the door of the Xianghe Inn, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet him: "Isn't this the daughter of Lord Qincha!" How can you have time to sit in the shop! ”

Su Yun turned around and turned his gaze to Li Zhilian, with an expression that I know you are lying again, but I will not pierce you

At this moment, the sound of footsteps upstairs protruded, Li Zhilian pushed away the innkeeper, hurried upstairs, took advantage of the height of the handrail to fly up, put his feet on the shoulders of a man in black, twisted, only to hear a "click", the man in black had already fallen to the ground

The remaining few were opening the door one by one to search for the masked man, and immediately drew his sword and attacked her, Li Zhilian picked up the falling sword on the ground, and one turned around, and the masked man's blood spurted out, and he fell down one after another

The people in the room poked their heads out one after another, and some of them were so frightened that they spread out on the ground, pointing at Li Zhilian and couldn't make a sound

Su Yun and the innkeeper, who followed later, were stunned by the scene in front of them, and stood on the ground.

A figure flashed at the staircase on the third floor, and Su Yun quickly reacted and ran up to the third floor

Li Zhilian coughed lightly, and the innkeeper woke up suddenly, and immediately stammered: "This ~ little one doesn't know anything!" ”

Li Zhilian looked at him and said, "Which room do those ginseng pickers live in?" ”

The innkeeper trembled and pointed to the courtyard downstairs and said, "In the firewood room in the courtyard downstairs."

Li Zhilian glared at him coldly, turned around and went downstairs, and the innkeeper then held on to the handrail and explained: "In the past few days, the west city gate has been opened, and there are many people in the city, and I am also here to support my family...... I have no choice but to do it."

In the small courtyard, Lu Dasan and the others were chatting with each other, and when they saw Li Zhilian coming, they hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen~ When can we leave!" We've been away from home for almost half a month, so it's time for the family to worry."

Su Yun clapped his hands and ran down and said, "It's been disposed of, the bodies were taken away by the patrolling soldiers, and there is nothing on them that can identify them."

Lu Dasan looked at the soldiers who were carrying the corpses back and forth and said, "They~? ”

Li Zhipian said: "Uncle Lu~ You are too dangerous here, call everyone to follow me to the prefect's yamen for a few days, and we will definitely let you go home when the matter is over."

Lu Dasan's eyes widened, and he pointed ahead and said, "They ~ are here to find us"

Li Zhilian nodded: "Hmm~ The guys and stewards of the pharmacy have been wiped out"

Lu Dasan turned around and ran into the firewood room outside, shouting as he ran: "It's dangerous here~ Quickly pack up and go with Miss Shen"

After a while, the small courtyard was filled with more than a dozen or twenty people, and an old man asked, "Did something happen to the little girl?" How could anyone want to harm us! We are all ordinary ginseng pickers! ”

Li Zhilian probably glanced at it, and the last time they met, she didn't pay attention to how many people there were: "It's only possible that you came for those poisons you picked."

The dozen or so well-dressed ginseng pickers were in an uproar, and they all said with emotion: "But those are all designated by Shentang Valley!" ”

"That's right! We all follow their requirements to find herbs! ”

"It's been a few years, and it's been these herbs."

"Yes! My mother-in-law also tried to grow her own."

Li Zhilian and Su Yun glanced at each other and shouted loudly: "They just missed, they will definitely send someone again, you can talk to our government first, okay?" ”

The crowd gradually quieted down, and Lu Dasan said: "Miss Shen~ We believe in you, so I'll go back with you."

Under a big willow tree near the outside of the city, the neighborhood was deserted, Li Jianqing followed Changshi on the dirt road, there was no chicken and dog barking, and there was no voice, and the huge courtyard was as silent as death

Changshi gently pushed open the door, saluted and walked back, Li Jianqing walked into the courtyard alone, searching around as he walked

Suddenly, the figure in the house in front of him flickered, Li Jianqing quickened his pace and chased after him, and when he came to the grass house, the door was wide open, and he slowly walked into the house. There are two grass houses, the outside is a stove, the inside is lived, and the inside and outside are separated by a rag curtain

"You're here~" Suddenly a voice came from all directions

Li Jianqing opened the curtain and walked in, looked at it, and no one was: "Why pretend to be a ghost?"

"Why didn't Shen Zhitang come, he trusts you a lot?"

Li Jianqing quickly glanced around the room, and then held his breath to discern the direction of the sound

"Why, don't you have a question for me?" The voice came from outside the door, Li Jianqing was startled, and immediately turned to look at the person behind him

The man was dressed in a dark robe, full of white hair, standing against the light, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones: "Why did Shen Zhitang call you here?" Please let me go to the Blue Flag Army as a lobbyist? ”

Li Jianqing raised his eyes, the man was already standing in front of him, just facing his eyes, and in the pupil of the man's left eye, there was a mole exactly the same as Li Zhilian, but Li Zhilian's pupils were shallower and he could see more clearly

Suddenly, Li Jianqing's heart was mixed, he shook his head, took two steps back, and muttered: "Impossible~This is impossible~"

The man still looked at Li Jianqing and said: "It seems that they have already looked for you" and then took out a token from his arms and said: "It's not convenient for me to show up now, you take this token to the Blue Flag Barracks, and you will know what to do that week."

Li Jianqing suppressed his breathing, slowly picked up the token on the table, and left the small courtyard in a trance, he once thought that as long as he found the person named Li Kun, he would know who he was, but now he found ...... I also know why he doesn't seem to be happy at all

The shadows of the trees around him followed, and he followed his memory to the place where he had put his horse when he came

Changshi looked behind him and asked, "Isn't he going to go that adult?" ”

Li Jianqing turned over on his horse, whipped him violently, and walked away
