Ning Yi suddenly laughed out of place and said, "Since this person can insert Neiying into the people who accompany him, it can be seen that his identity is not simple, just rely on you?" You're just a soldier defending the city in Xizhou, and you-"

Ning Yi didn't continue, but Qi Xiao also understood what Ning Yi meant, Yuxue's foundation is not deep, if the person who was hidden behind found out that Yuxue was still alive, it was not certain whether he could return to the capital safely.

The two of them are still a little ambitious, and now, they seem to have been splashed with cold water on their heads.

Qi Xiao clenched his fists tightly, again like this, again like this, this deep sense of powerlessness almost tore Qi Xiao apart, but Yuxue said a little stubbornly: "As long as we tell Your Majesty the news, Your Majesty will definitely find out the truth of the matter." ”

Qi Xiao turned his head, looking at the persistence and seriousness on Yuxue's face, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, but Ning Yi echoed seriously: "Yes, Tuoba Yue is a good emperor, but what if the person involved is in a high position?" You're just an inconspicuous squire, do you really believe that he has to cut down an ancient tree for the sake of a little ant? ”

Yuxue's face turned red, and he wanted to refute, at least, in his heart, Tuoba Yue was not that kind of person.

Qi Xiao agrees very much, he has only heard of Tuoba Yue, at least put himself in his shoes, he may also weigh the pros and cons, rather than simply punishing any murderer.

He looked at Ning Yi and said, "The prince didn't bring me here today just to tell me the truth about my mother's death. ”

Ning Yi spread his hands very frankly and said, "Yes, I want you to go back to Xiliang with me-"

"Impossible—"

"No, it won't-"

Qi Xiao and Yuxue said almost at the same time, Dali still has their enemies, went to Xiliang like this, didn't they become deserters? So when will their revenge be avenged?

Ning Yi waved his hand, letting the people around him retreat, and he said solemnly: "Even if you don't go back to Xiliang with me, in the Great Calendar, you have not come out yet, you have already offended Zhao Yancheng, although Zhao Yan is not a great evil person, but he is not a good person, that woman is very important to him." ”

Qi Xiao's expression changed, and he said: "But now that the human and material evidence is there, can he still bend the law for personal gain in front of the entire Xizhou people?" ”

Ning Yi was not in a hurry and said: "Tomorrow I will set off for Xiliang, you only have half a day to think, by the way, even if you go back to Xiliang with me, the road is very dangerous, but as long as it is done, you will get what you deserve." ”

After saying that, he walked away.

Qi Xiao and Yuxue returned to the city, Qi Xiao first sent Yuxue back to the post house, Peng Yu saw Yuxue, and couldn't help but say, "You kid, where did you go?" ”

Yuxue lowered his eyes, couldn't see clearly, Qi Xiao said: "He couldn't stand the blow that day, and after fainting outside the city, he was rescued, and I happened to see him today, so I brought him back." ”

Peng Yu didn't have time to think about anything else, Qi Xiao's eyes were dark and shining, and he stared at Peng Yu deadly, but Peng Yu only had joy on his face, and Qi Xiao put his mind at ease.

After sending Yuxue back to the post house, Qi Xiao left under the pretext of leaving, but when he turned around an uninhabited alley, he dodged in, and then went in the direction of the post house.

Yuxue had been living in Qi Xiao's house before, and there were not many empty rooms in the post house, but fortunately, when she settled the second lady Lan today, she cleaned up two side rooms, just one that could be left for Yuxue who was still injured.

Qi Xiao's whole body was hidden in the tall canopy behind the house, and his movements were extremely light, even the sleeping birds were not alarmed.

I saw Peng Yu patting Yuxue's shoulder and said, "Okay, you have a good rest, we are going to leave tomorrow, it just so happens that today I am guarding the person next to me, I have been there all night, if you have anything, you can call me." ”

Yuxue hummed softly, Peng Yu was in a low mood when he saw him coming back, thinking that this child was still worried about Aunt Qi's affairs, so he sighed and persuaded: "Rain and snow, there are unpredictable storms in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, sometimes it is not something we can control, Aunt Qi must be in the spirit of the sky, and she will not want to see you like this?" ”

Yuxue's nose was sore, and his hands were clenched unconsciously, he nodded slowly, and suddenly asked, "Brother Peng, why don't you see Brother Zhou and them?" ”

Peng Yu smiled: "It should be resting in the room, okay, don't think so much, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

Yuxue quietly looked up at the ancient tree behind the house, and then obediently entered the house, Qi Xiao held his breath, facing Peng Yu, he still didn't dare to be careless.

At the same time, Yuxue returned to the room and did not fall asleep immediately, but lay on the bed, staring at the top of the tent with his eyes vigilantly, this was discussed between him and Qi Xiao, although Ning Yi's news was that *'s companions had left Xizhou, but they were still suspicious, how much Ning Yi's words could be believed, it was not yet known, he wanted to take them to Xiliang, so what he said must be helpful to this matter.

Therefore, Yuxue plans to take a risk with Qi Xiao, that is, to use Yuxue as bait, if *'s companion knows that Yuxue is not dead, he will definitely choose to start tonight.

Minutes and seconds passed. There was no sound around, and suddenly there was a noisy footstep of a group of people not far away, the first to notice was Qi Xiao, he pressed his hand on the long sword on his waist, but he felt that this matter was very strange, the footsteps of the people who came were light and heavy, not like a person who practiced martial arts.

Peng Yu naturally noticed that those people stopped outside the courtyard gate, Peng Yu opened the door vigilantly, and saw a group of people at the door, led by a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, with fine eyes, followed by two thugs, and a woman looking at more than thirty people.

Seeing Peng Yu open the door, the middle-aged man grinned, leaked a mouthful of yellow teeth and said: "Presumably this is Peng Guard, I am the shopkeeper of the Xizhou Dance Hall, and I came here on the commission of Lord Zhao." ”

Peng Yu was stunned, why didn't anyone talk to him about it?

Seeing Peng Yu hesitate, the man took out something from his waist, Peng Yu frowned, it was indeed Zhao Yancheng's thing, he turned his body slightly sideways, and looked at the middle-aged man vigilantly.

The middle-aged man smiled, and brought a few people in, and suddenly the door of the room where the Jiang family was squeaked open, and the middle-aged man accepted the smile on his face, and said: "I have been entrusted by Lord Zhao, please leave Mrs. ”

Peng Yu and Qi Xiao, who was hidden in the tree, changed their faces at the same time, but unlike Qi Xiao, Peng Yu understood in an instant, and he said why the woman was a little familiar, it turned out that from the perspective of age and body shape, it was somewhat similar to the Jiang family in the house.

It turned out that Zhao Yancheng wanted to exchange the tanuki for the prince, no wonder he would bring the Jiang family to the post house.

Thinking of this, Peng Yu felt a chill in his back, but he didn't have the courage to stop it, and he was powerless to stop it, and when he woke up, Jiang and the woman had already exchanged clothes, and planned to leave with the shopkeeper of the dance hall.

Peng Yu seemed to have roots under his feet, and looked at the tips of his shoes motionlessly.

Jiang Shi walked in front of Peng Yu, and suddenly said softly: "Don't worry, I will help you say a few kind words in front of adults in the future." ”

Yan Bi, he chuckled and left.

Qi Xiao's eyes were red, and sure enough, what Ning Yi said was right, this woman was very important to Zhao Yancheng, but he would not bend the law openly for personal gain in front of the people of Xizhou.

Suddenly, in Jiang's room, there was a sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, Peng Yu didn't care much, kicked the door in, and saw a person hanging on the beam, it was the woman from Fang Cai.

Peng Yu threw the long sword in his hand, the blade cut through the satin and made a piercing sound, the woman's body was fallen, Peng Yu caught her, and then put it on the ground, but it was too late, the corner of the woman's mouth continued to gush out thick black blood, it turned out that she had taken poison.

At the same time, a bunch of people suddenly rushed in outside the courtyard, Peng Yu subconsciously turned around, only to see that the courtyard was brightly lit, and the two leaders were Zhao Yancheng and Guo Ping.

Guo Ping said in a loud voice: "This official wants to interrogate the Jiang family, come on, go and escort the Jiang family out to me——"

His voice was so loud that he was afraid that no one would hear him.

Zhao Yancheng stood with his hands in his hands and stood aside, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

It was such a coincidence, everything seemed to have been arranged, and sure enough, when the officer and soldier saw a female corpse lying in the house, and Peng Yu, they seemed to be frightened, and ran out and shouted: "Oh no, the prisoner committed suicide in fear of crime!" ”

Guo Ping seemed to be very surprised, and hurriedly rushed in with Zhao Yancheng, and when he saw the woman lying on the ground, Guo Ping sighed again and again: "How can this be? How could you suddenly commit suicide in fear of sin? ”

And Zhao Yancheng looked at it coldly, and when he saw Peng Yu's expression, he waved his hand and said, "You also did your best, okay, let's go rest first, and leave it to Master Guo here-"

Guo Ping smiled again and again: "Yes, your brothers will leave for Beijing tomorrow, you still have to rest early, take care of your spirits, and leave it to me here." ”

Peng Yu stiffened his hand and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

In this way, Guo Ping's people carried out the body of "Jiang's" in a very high-profile manner, and the case that night was directly closed with Jiang's suicide in fear of crime.

However, they miscalculated one person, that is Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao was going to ambush * his accomplice tonight, but he didn't want to see this scene, he was in charge of this case, and it was precisely because of this case that he was so busy that he didn't have time to go home to see his mother often, so he would take it lightly, but now the murderer of the case was taken away so easily, how could he be willing?
