Chapter 420: The Emperor
In the inn, Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun glanced at each other: "Someone is following." ”
The third prince immediately became alert, but he couldn't see anything in his expression.
"Guest officer, your meal is here!" The shopkeeper brought the food ordered by Xiao Shulun to a plate.
Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan glanced at each other.
"Don't touch these dishes yet." Gao Jingchuan whispered.
The other party followed him, and somebody had already infiltrated the inn's kitchen and tampered with their food.
Xiao Shulun understood.
The three sons pretended to be two gentlemen, painting voices and colors.
I saw him picky and pulling the vegetables on the plate back and forth.
"That's what it's good at?" The third son pulled a few times and slapped the chopsticks!
"Shopkeeper!" He shouted.
"It's coming! Here it comes! The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.
"Guest, what's wrong?" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Shulun's expression, it was too familiar, this was clearly looking for trouble.
"You, do you have any other orders?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously.
"You say, this is your specialty here?" The third prince raised his eyebrows, and his breath came to his face.
"Yes...... Yes......" The shopkeeper replied, wondering in his heart, this guest was just fine, why did he suddenly become a villain now?!
"Forget it!" Xiao Shulun just found an excuse not to eat, and he didn't mean to embarrass anyone.
"No more!" The third prince threw the silver on the table, stood up and left.
"Guest, guest?" The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Shulun who was leaving, and scratched his head, "This ...... What's going on? ”
You say he's a bully guest, right? People have paid and paid more! You say he's a friendly guest, right? The way he looked just now was obviously a gentleman's troublemaker.
"Whatever!" The shopkeeper picked up the silver.
"It's a pity that this table is a good dish!" As he spoke, he took the plate down.
Think, eat it yourself.
But just when the shopkeeper cleaned up the food and turned around to leave with the dishes, a guest walked away, and the guest lowered his head, his feet were in a hurry, and he accidentally ran into the shopkeeper at once.
Suddenly, the dishes in the shop's second-hand shop were overturned all of a sudden.
"I'm sorry." The guest kept his head down, said a word, and turned to leave.
"Hey! You ......" The shopkeeper wanted to settle accounts with him, but when he was talking, the man had already gone away.
"What's going on!" The shopkeeper looked at the overturned meal,
Forget it, he doesn't have this mouthful.
The shopkeeper looked pity and cleaned up the meal.

…………
In other words, Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan have walked out of the restaurant.
"Still following?" Xiao Shulun and Gao Jingchuan stood side by side and asked Gao Jingchuan in a low voice.
"Yes." Gao Jingchuan replied.
"How many?"
"I only found one." Gao Jingchuan meant, he wasn't sure if there were anyone else.
"Shall we go separately?" Xiao Shulun said, "We have always been together, and he didn't dare to show up. ”
If they are separated, they will know who he is targeting.
"Okay." Gao Jingchuan nodded.
"You watch out."
"So are you."
So the two of them, who were halfway there, suddenly separated and left.
One went east, the other south.
The people who followed the two of them were slightly stunned when they saw this. Then, he chased in the direction of Gao Jingchuan.
Xiao Shulun walked into the alley to the south, and the sight of the surveillance behind him disappeared.
"It seems that he is going to Jingchuan." Xiao Shulun said, turned around and went in the direction of Gao Jingchuan.
Gao Jingchuan's side, the gaze has been glued to him.
It's your own ...... to be tracked
Gao Jingchuan realized that the other party was coming for him, and while he was relieved, he tightened a string of thread in his heart.
Wang Zhixian's map of the city flashed in his mind, and Gao Jingchuan matched the streets on the map with the current streets one by one.
He nimbly weaves through the alleys.
The person who followed him followed him for a while, and suddenly understood!
This is taking him around in circles!
By the time he realized it, it was too late.
In a turn, Gao Jingchuan, who was supposed to go ahead earlier, turned back at some point, appeared straight in front of him, and confronted him.
The stalker didn't want to think about it, and turned around to run away.
But if it's too late, it's too late, Xiao Shulun, who was not in the same direction as Gao Jingchuan, suddenly appeared and blocked his retreat.
"Friends." Xiao Shulun blocked the path of the person who was following him with a big thorn, looking him up and down.
It was a man in his forties, ordinary-looking, featureless, and unnoticeable in the crowd.
"What can't you say openly and honestly, and have to follow us secretly?" Xiao Shulun said as he approached.
The man who followed him had an ugly face.
There is Xiao Shulun in front and Gao Jingchuan in the back.
Dead ends on both sides.
"Who are you?" Gao Jingchuan asked.
The man didn't answer!
You can't go on either side! But heaven can go! The eaves can walk!
The stalker jumped to his feet and tried to escape from the rooftop!
However, he underestimated Gao Jingchuan's kung fu, and just when he was about to jump on the roof, Gao Jingchuan had already seen through his intentions, and when he had just made a move, Gao Jingchuan had already made a move.
That person's kung fu was not as good as Gao Jingchuan's.
With Xiao Shulun, he was even more forced to the upper hand.
In a few moves, Xiao Shulun had already buckled the man's backhand and controlled it!
Gao Jingchuan lit the other party's acupuncture points to prevent him from hiding poison in his teeth and committing suicide like those dart masters.
Xiao Shulun twisted the jaw of the person who was stalking! Broke open the other party's mouth, and sure enough, he found that the other party's teeth were hiding poison.
"It's ruthless." The third prince took out the poison.
Only then did Gao Jingchuan unlock his acupoint.
"Who are you!?" Xiao Shulun asked.
The man pursed his mouth tightly, as if he wasn't going to say anything.
"Take it back to my second brother." Xiao Shulun said.
Gao Jingchuan nodded.
…………
…………
Xiao Zhongyu's side, he had just finished interrogating Old Man Ma, and he just wanted to take a breath.
As a result, Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun brought him a person.
"It's ......"
"Follow me and Jingchuan." Xiao Shulun said, "Let me catch Jing Chuan, his mouth is poisonous." ”
As he spoke, he handed the poison he took out of the stalker's mouth to Xiao Zhongyu.
Xiao Shulun asked: "Is it the same as the previous dart master, the poison?" ”
Xiao Zhongyu took the poison and looked at it carefully.
"It's not a kind of poison."
"Not a class?" Xiao Shulun was puzzled.
Xiao Zhongyu explained: "The poison in the mouth of the dart master is the kind that sees the blood seal, this kind of ...... It is poisonous and dumb, and he will die for a while, but he can't speak. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Zhongyu paused.
"This poison is used by the troubled killer assassins."
"Assassin killer?" Xiao Shulun was puzzled, "So, this person is not from the Wanna cult?" ”
"It's too early to say anything." Xiao Zhongyu said, "Give the person to me, and I'll interrogate it carefully." ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Shulun said, "It's up to the second brother!" ”
Xiao Zhongyu took the people escorted by Xiao Shulun and took them to the county jail.
The third prince looked at the back of his second brother and exhaled.
"I hope I can ask something."
Gao Jingchuan looked at him.
"Now, we can go and eat, right?" Xiao Shulun said.
Gao Jingchuan nodded.
"Definitely not going to the restaurant before." The third prince said, "The shopkeeper probably scolds me again." ”
Gao Jingchuan couldn't help laughing: "Then what do you want to eat?" ”
"Whatever, I don't pick." The third prince said.
"Okay."
…………
…………
At this time, the emperor, who was not a picky eater, had already arrived at the border of Langzhou.
He hurried so fast that he had traveled almost overnight, and now he had finally allowed himself to recuperate.
However, it is not a rest in an inn, but a rest in the open air.
By the campfire, Xiao saw Chu sitting quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, these days, you have suffered." Ying Wei Chuqi came over and handed the food to Xiao Jianchu.
Dried meat and steamed buns, they are embarrassed to give the emperor to eat on the seventh day of the first month, but they are really nothing good about them when they are in a hurry.
Xiao Jianchu took the steamed bun and took a bite.
"Your Majesty, can you warm up with some wine?" Eleven handed the flask over.
Xiao Jianchu took it.
Eleven's wine is the burning knife of the northern nomads, and when you take a sip, it is like a knife in your throat. However, this wine is also extraordinarily warming.
"Not bad." Xiao Jianchu took a big sip, and couldn't help but take another sip, "Good wine!" ”
Eleven is a little embarrassed, burning knives, where can it be compared with the palace wine, it is stronger. ”
"Your Majesty, you can rest for a while." Chu Yi walked over and said, "When it's dawn, we'll go again." ”
"When can I get to Langzhou?" Xiao Jianchu asked.
"Dusk."
Xiao Jianchu thought for a while: "It has to be faster." ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"
"We'll rest for half an hour, and then we'll continue on our way." Xiao Jianchu asked, "In this case, can you go to Langzhou at noon tomorrow?" ””
The first year of junior high calculated the distance: "It should be possible." ”
"Then it's decided." Xiao Jianchu said, "Hurry up and rest, and after half an hour, we will set off." ”
"Yes!"
…………
…………
Xiao saw that Chu hurried overnight, and sure enough, he arrived at the gate of Langzhou City at noon.
"Huang ......" Chu Yi opened his mouth, thinking of Xiao Jianchu's identity at this time, he coughed dryly: "Childe, we have arrived." ”
"There are a lot of people in us, and if we enter the city like this, it will definitely attract attention." Xiao Jianchu said, looking at the group of shadow guards, "As always, you guys disperse first, go to the third junior high, my side, the first junior high follow me." ”
"Yes!"
…………
…………
At this time, Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun didn't know that Xiao Jianchu had come.
They came to Xiao Zhongyu.
Before, he handed over the stalker to Xiao Zhongyu, and it took Xiao Zhongyu two days to pry the stalker's mouth open.
"Not a member of the Vanna cult?" Xiao Shulun was a little surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Zhongyu said, "He is a Jianghu assassin. ”
"Jianghu assassin, what are you doing tracking Jingchuan?"
Xiao Zhongyu Dao; "I took the money and came to kill Jingchuan."
"What?!" The third son is like a cat with a tail! All at once, it's fried!
"Who wants to kill Jingchuan!" As he spoke, the murderous aura in his eyes couldn't be suppressed at all!
"I'm fine." Gao Jingchuan sighed, slowly pressed Xiao Shulun down, and said, "Listen carefully to what the second brother has to say." ”
Xiao Shulun frowned and sat down.
Xiao Zhongyu continued: "He doesn't know the person who hired him! The man just gave him a lot of money, and then, let him kill Jingchuan. ”
"Did he describe what the man looked like?" Xiao Shulun asked.
Xiao Zhongyu smiled: "It's described, I asked people to draw a picture based on what he described." ”
With that, he took out the painting.
In the portrait, it is a man with a square face, who looks very honest and has no features.
"It's ......"
"That's who hired him." Xiao Zhongyu said.
"What can we do with just one portrait?" Xiao Shulun was a little concerned and confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Xiao Zhongyu shook his head, "We have a lot of clues. ”
He pointed to the person in the portrait and said, "First of all, he was hired in Langzhou, so this person is from Langzhou, and secondly, this person is very rich...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid so much to hire a killer. ”
"These two clues add up...... Xiao Zhongyu narrowed his eyes, "Langzhou, rich, square-faced people." ”
"Then it's easy to find!" Xiao Shulun suddenly opened up to him.
"Yes."
"Let's ask Wang Zhixian first." Gao Jingchuan said, "It's good that his city map is almost finished." ”
"Let's go!" Xiao Shulun rolled up the portrait and left with Gao Jingchuan.
…………
…………
When Wang Zhixian saw Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun, he was full of smiles and hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, I was about to report the good news to you!" Map in the city, we're finally done! What a ......."
"It's done, I'll take it and see it." Xiao Shulun interrupted the pile of nonsense below him.
"Good! Good! Wang Zhixian nodded again and again.
"That's right." Xiao Shulun said, shaking out the portrait he asked for from Xiao Zhongyu and showing it to Wang Zhixian.
"Do you know this man?"
Wang Zhixian looked at the portrait and tilted his head slightly: "Ma Peiying? My lord, what are you painting him for?! ”
"Who is this?!" Xiao Shulun looked at some of them.
"This is Ma Peiying, when he drew a map of the city, he also helped."
"What?!" Xiao Shulun was taken aback, "He also helped?" ”
"yes." Wang Zhixian said, "Didn't you say that you could find more people to help?" I asked him for help. ”
Xiao Shulun asked, "What does he do?" ”
"He's from Kaibu Village." Wang Zhixian said, "It's an honest businessman, so I asked him to help measure it." ”
Xiao Shulun was taken aback: "He is responsible for measuring that piece?" ”
"Oh?" Wang Zhixian was stunned, he really didn't know how Xiao Shulun cared about this. However, he didn't ask questions, after all, when the official asked, as a subordinate, he just had to answer well.
"He's in charge of the west of the city." Wang Zhixian said.
"Isn't the map of the city drawn?" Gao Jingchuan stood up and said, "Please bring the map of the city and show it to us." ”
"Good!" Although Wang Zhixian was still confused, this did not affect the speed at which he took the map.
Soon, the complete map of the city was spread out in front of Gao Jingchuan and Xiao Shulun.
