Halfway through sleep, Nan Jinyan felt a faint musty smell in the room, so he got up and walked to the window and picked it up.

The fresh air came to her face, Nan Jinyan stretched her waist, and pushed her hands to the window, tonight's moon was like a shy girl, hiding behind the clouds and only revealing half of her head, and the stars were also sparsely hanging.

Behind this inn is a forest, very dense, at this time, it is quiet all around, and those birds and beasts are afraid that they are also sleeping.

"Chirp...... Coo-coo...... "The sudden bird's call pierced the night sky, this bird's call was quite special, a long "chirp" in front of it was like a whistle, this bird was like him, he didn't sleep so late, Nan Jinyan smiled faintly.

Because he was not used to sleeping, Nan Jinyan slept dimly until midnight, and heard Zuo Weishu knock on his door, and said outside the door: "Your Highness, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

Hearing this, Nan Jin slowly opened her eyes, took a look at the sleeping Su Roujia by a little moonlight, helped her pull off the quilt casually, quietly got up and changed her clothes and opened the door to go out, with a very light movement.

Zuo Wei led two guards to wait in the corridor at the door, Nan Jinyan came out of the room, stood in front of the door, tidied up his robe, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"What does Your Highness plan to do with a suspicious person caught during the night patrol?"

"Oh?" Nan Jinyan listened, suspicious person? Isn't it the prime minister's person who followed all the way from the Southern Jin Dynasty? He had to go and see, and then he asked, "What about people?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, for fear of disturbing the crown princess, his subordinates ordered someone to keep him in the backyard."

Su Roujia heard the sound of talking outside the door, she got dressed and tiptoed to the door, and listened secretly on the door.

Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder with a finger from behind, and when she turned around, she was a very burly masked man in a night suit.

Before she could scream, the man slashed the back of her neck with the palm of her hand, and the man in black caught Su Roujia who had fainted, picked it up and put it on her shoulder.

took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table, and then, jumped out of the window on the second floor, and together with the person who answered downstairs, took Su Roujia away, and at this time, the people outside the door didn't know it.

Nan Jinyan glanced at the guards behind the left guard, and said in a deep voice: "You two stay here and protect the crown princess." ”

The two guards immediately stood straight at the door, one left and one right, and Nan Jinyan turned his head to the guard and said, "Go to the backyard." ”

Nan Jinyan and Wei Shu, the two of them went downstairs one after the other, passed through the side door of the inn, and came to the backyard.

Several guards carried torches and surrounded the suspicious man, who was thin, dressed in night clothes, covered his face, and had been tied up with flowers, and one of the guards pushed the man to his knees.

The light of the torch illuminated the backyard very brightly, Nan Jinyan approached, the firelight flickered, he looked at the man in black in front of him, this person's eyes were full of fear.

"Where's the shopkeeper?" Nan Jinyan felt that something was abnormal, such a big movement, the shopkeeper didn't even take a look, it seemed unreasonable.

Zuo Weishu replied: "I haven't seen it, maybe I'm already asleep, right?" ”

"Chirp...... Coo-coo...... "There was another strange birdsong, Nan Jinyan pulled the man's face towel away, and everyone was stunned, "Shopkeeper? ”

"Suffered!" Nan Jinyan pulled out a guard's saber with his hand, turned around and ran upstairs, and the left guard led the escort to follow.

When they arrived at the door of the room, the two guards were still guarding there, Nan Jinyan ran over and kicked the door open, and the room was empty.

The two guards who were in charge of protecting Su Roujia trembled with fright, and the left guard rushed over to grab one of them, and roared angrily: "What about the crown princess? ”

"Subordinates, subordinates don't know, we have been guarding the door, never leaving an inch!" The two guards knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, begging for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, spare your life!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life! ”

Nan Jinyan glared at the two guards angrily, his eyes were fierce, and Zuo Wei glanced at it, knowing that his subordinates had caused a big disaster, although they were all brothers who were born and died, today, they would never be able to protect them.

Zuo Weilu gritted his teeth, his muscles flared up, and he pulled out his knife, "Ben will cut down you two pieces of waste for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today!" He raised his knife and swung it at one of them.

Nan Jinyan grabbed Zuo Wei's arm, "I don't blame them for this, I only blame us for being too stupid and falling for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

He shook the arm of the left guard, and said: "The top priority is to do everything possible to find the crown princess back for the palace!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey! Zuo Wei was very happy that the prince spared the lives of the two guards, turned his head and raised his legs, and kicked the two of them, "Thank you for your kindness not to kill!" ”

"Your Highness is gracious, Your Highness is gracious!"

"Get up." Nan Jinyan blinked his eyes and saw an envelope on the table, he walked over and picked it up, and there was a letter inside.

The letter reads:

Tomorrow at three o'clock, North Li City South Mengxian Building, a narrative.

After reading it, Nan Jinyan angrily crumpled the letter, turned to Zuo Weishu and said, "Where is the shopkeeper?" ”

"Before he came up, his subordinates had ordered someone to escort him to the lobby downstairs to wait for His Highness's whereabouts."

Nan Jinyan kneaded the paper ball in his hand and came down the stairs leisurely, the left guard rate followed, and the shopkeeper was escorted by two guards and stood in front of the counter.

The shopkeeper, who neither resisted nor struggled, saw Nan Jinyan walking towards him, his eyes were dripping, and he was sweating profusely.

Nan Jinyan looked at him, sat down on the bench at the dining table on the side, poured a cup of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Whatever this palace asks, you will answer, perhaps, you can consider sparing you from death." ”

The left guard waved his two fingers lightly, and the guard dragged the shopkeeper to the table, and as soon as his hand was released, the shopkeeper's face was facing down, and half of his body was smashed on the table, obviously alive, but like a dead corpse.

Nan Jinyan looked under the table slightly, the shopkeeper's feet were not strong at all, and the whole person was completely hanging there.

He turned his head to look at the left guard, "What's going on?" ”

Fortunately, when setting off from the Southern Jin Dynasty, in order to prevent accidents, Zuo Wei led a military doctor to accompany him, and he shouted loudly: "Go and call the military doctor!" ”

After a while, the military doctor got up and replied: "Your Highness, according to the pulse, this person has been poisoned for a long time, but this poison is not fatal. ”

Then he took out a pill from the medicine box he carried with him and stuffed it into the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth, "General poison, this pill can be alleviated, and it should be fine after a while." ”

"Poisoned?" Nan Jinyan muttered a sentence and asked the military doctor, "Do you know what poison he is in?" ”

The military doctor arched his hand and said: "If the subordinates' inference is correct, it should be a 'zombie fan'." ”

'Huh?' Zombie fans'? What is it? Why has Hongu never heard of it? Nan Jinyan asked.
