Xiao Qi galloped in the night, and the scene around him quickly retreated, but what always lingered in his eyes was that resolute and resolute look.

Is that guy a monarch who is indulging in pleasure, or a heroic man of the last days who is generous and righteous? Xiao Qi and he only met this side, but the deep and indescribable look on the middle-aged man's face made Xiao Qi think about this question for a long time. He didn't know how Ye Dushan sat in the emperor's position, but just now he was so determined to die, and the matter he handed over to Mu Changsheng, Xiao Qi was faintly respectful.

There was a noise behind him that was approached by the wind, and the sergeants who were searching in the sand city slowly moved in that direction, and the pressure on Xiao Qi was reduced a lot. A pair of patrolling soldiers approached the street, so he hid under a roof, quietly watching the soldiers passing by on the street.

From time to time, he glanced in the direction behind him. He knew that it was Ye Dushan's body that had been discovered. With Di Yuan's shrewdness, the chaos caused by Ye Dushan would not last long, Xiao Qi glanced back again, and finally jumped up and headed towards the north of the city.

The north of the city is a place where homeless people gather, and the personnel are complex, and the search is really difficult. What's more, there are many people here, and even at night, there are still homeless people walking around the streets. Xiao Qi is dressed very plainly now, and he made a few cuts on the way to escape, and at a glance, it looks very similar to the dress of a homeless man. So he swaggered down the street, and no one wanted to look at him more. This made him secretly glad to himself.

Walking to the door of the familiar blacksmith shop, Xiaoxi was already guarding the door. When she saw Xiao Qi's figure, her eyes seemed to be shining, and she was shining like stars at night. Seeing her hurriedly come up, Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

In the blacksmith shop, Lu Xuanxuan smiled and looked at Xiao Qi and Xiaoxi happily, while Zuo Yunyi looked cold, as if he didn't see Xiao Qi, drinking tea by himself.

"Oh, little brother, don't you know, this girl is looking forward to you, it's only been a long time, and her eyes are going to see through. Lu Xuanxuan squeezed his eyebrows at Xiao Qi, "Little brother is not blessed." ”

"The seniors misunderstood. Xiao Qi said clearly, and inadvertently glanced back at Xiaoxi. I saw that she still had her head down, and the dark night could not hide the blush on her face.

Lu Xuanqiu grinned and was noncommittal.

"Looking at the little brother's expression, something big must have happened in the city tonight, right?"

Xiao Qi thought for a moment and said: "Some people just die, and they are born in troubled times, which is no different from what happened in other places at other times. ”

Lu Xuanxuan glanced at Xiao Qi with some surprise, and immediately laughed and invited Xiao Qi, of course, mainly to invite Xiaoxi into the house for tea. In the slum alleys in the north of the city, people wandered around at night like rats foraging for food, and many people had already seen Xiao Qi enter the dilapidated blacksmith shop before, he was worried that there would be trouble if he stayed for a long time, and saw that Xiaoxi looked at Lu Xuanxuan's obscene face very vigilantly, and pulled Xiaoxi out after a few polite words.

He pondered where to hide. These days, he can hide in the city from being discovered mainly because Di Yuan has not paid attention, in addition to strengthening the city defense, the soldiers patrolling and inspecting the city are very loose, but after such a fuss between the lady of the Hou Mansion and tonight, Di Yuan will definitely turn the city upside down. Di Yuan had already seen himself on the torture table before, and Xiao Qi concluded that if he didn't think about it, it would only be a matter of these two days when he was discovered.

He had no clue for a while, so he had to give up. He suddenly remembered that Liu Qingxue should also stay in the city, and if they got together, it would be a big help. He then asked Lu Xuanxuan for a pen and paper, and then led Xiaoxi to the back street of Chenwang's study, and he promised Liu Qingxue that he would leave a message there if he made any progress, and exchanged ideas.

Xiao Qi took Xiaoxi and walked extremely cautiously, after all, even if Di Yuan had great powers, it was impossible to lay a net between the streets and alleys in the city in one or two hours, Xiao Qi finally found a gap and came to a side alley in the east of the city.

He raised his pen and wrote, without thinking about it carefully, and before he could explain the relationship between Qing Diyuan, Wei Boyu and Ye Dushan, there was a slight movement above his head.

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Qi's whole body bounced up and jumped in front of Xiaoxi, and the soul breaker was already in his hand. In the silence of the streets, he could even hear his own heartbeat.

There was a soft "huh" overhead. Immediately after that, a shadow fell, and what shrouded Xiao Qi's eyes was a blue shadow, accompanied by a faint blue-like fragrance. The blade of the Broken Soul moved down with the fall of the figure, but after only one or two breaths, Xiao Qi withdrew the Broken Soul into his boots, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiaoxi, who was on the side, was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know whether to panic and dodge people.

"Now that the city is dangerous, you dare to bring this little girl into the city. Liu Qingxue held the sword in one hand and quietly landed five steps in front of Xiao Qi, glancing at Xiaoxi as she spoke. Xiaoxi had never seen Liu Qingxue, but seeing that Xiao Qi and Liu Qingxue were very familiar, she couldn't help but shrink back and look at her vigilantly.

"Not my idea. Xiao Qi had no intention of explaining more, glanced up and down at Liu Qingxue, and asked, "Is it so coincidental?" ”

Liu Qingxue quickly looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she said, "I came to look for you on purpose, but I didn't expect to run into it." There's something I need your help with. ”

The purpose of the two coincided, Xiao Qi was suddenly a little curious, Liu Qingxue has always been a maverick and outstanding, except for occasionally sharing some clues with herself, she really rarely sought her own help.

He also quickly realized that this matter was very important, and hurriedly asked, "What?"

"Do you know what the soldiers in the city are searching for these days?"

"I've heard that it seems that the lady of the Hou Mansion betrayed Di Yuan, but was robbed. Xiao Qi said without thinking, and suddenly looked up at Liu Qingxue, frowning with a questioning expression.

Liu Qingxue's eyes were cold, and she nodded at Xiao Qi.

"In this way, our purpose should be the same. After tonight, I'm afraid that Shajiang City will be turned upside down, so it's better to get out as soon as possible. Xiao Qi tore the half-written letter paper in his hand to shreds.

Liu Qingxue raised her eyebrows: "Did I miss something?"

Xiao Qi smiled silently: "The last emperor of Longyuan died here, died tonight. ”

Looking at Liu Qingxue's surprised expression and unconsciously slightly opened thin lips, Xiao Qi urged: "Where are you hiding? ”

Liu Qingxue then led Xiao Qi and Xiaoxi into the night, and quietly moved while the defense line in the city was not completed. Xiao Qi carried Xiaoxi on his back almost the whole time, the thin Xiaoxi lay on his back, and it was like Xiao Qi had a back bag on his back under the moonlight.

He also briefly told about Ye Dushan and Wei Boyu. Liu Qingxue suddenly showed a shallow smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Qi asked with some curiosity. He and Liu Qingxue galloped in the night, walking side by side. Surrounded by enemies in the dark, what Xiao Qi said was still a major event related to Long Yuan's direction, and it was not a pleasant joke moment in any case.

Liu Qingxue quickly restrained her smile, looked straight ahead, as calm and cold as before, and said softly: "So, we are the two people that Di Yuan wants to kill the most. What a coincidence, I thought that this kind of daring thing was the only one I would do. ”

Xiao Qi frowned, only feeling inexplicable, but Liu Qingxue had already stepped forward, only Xiaoxi was on Xiao Qi's back, and his head hung lower.

Liu Qingxue stopped suddenly. This is the back alley of a restaurant, and the wick of the lantern hanging on the second floor of the restaurant has not yet burned out in the quiet night. With this light, Xiao Qi recognized that he had come to this restaurant before, and it was here that he met Suo Pingzhang and was entertained by Zuo Yunyi.

But the scale of this place is very large, and there are many people coming and going, can Liu Qingxue hide people here? Xiao Qi couldn't help but be curious.

I saw Liu Qingxue lift a wooden board on the ground, revealing the hollow underneath. Xiao Qi probed slightly, and a strong aroma of wine came to his face, and he quickly reacted, this is the cellar of this restaurant.

The climate of Shajiang City is hot, and the vegetables, fruits, and drinks will rot after a short time, so the existence of cellars is not unusual. But the cellar was kept in and out every day, and it was still sealed and stuffy, so it was not a good place to hide.

Xiao Qi gave Liu Qingxue an inquiring look, but saw Liu Qingxue jump down directly, and Xiao Qi had to follow with Xiaoxi on his back.

Entering the cellar, there was no imaginary feeling of suffocation, Xiao Qi was confused, and actually saw Liu Qingxue lighting a candle.

Liu Qingxue took the candle and groped around the wall in the deepest part of the cellar for a moment, and then clasped her hand and knocked it, and it actually made a crisp sound.

There was actually a small piece of the wall in this cellar that was hollow, and it seemed to be a wooden plank pasted into a similar color, embedded in the stone, and the sound of this gentle tapping was transmitted. Xiao Qi approached with interest, and Liu Qingxue continued to knock, three light and one heavy. With a clatter, a crack finally cracked in the wall made of sand and gravel, but the passage was not revealed.

"You go open the door. Liu Qingxue said suddenly.

Xiao Qi was inexplicable, but he still put down Xiaoxi behind him, grabbed the slit with his fingers, and pulled outward. He suddenly realized that the weight of this door was beyond his imagination, and he could not even open it at once. He took a deep breath, clutching the bulge in the stone, and finally opened a hole to reveal the passage inside.

Behind the door, a woman's face suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Qi's eyes, her face was delicate and delicate, not as dark and full of strength as a woman in Lizhou. The corners of her eyes are wrinkled, but she has a different charm.

When she saw Xiao Qi, she didn't look panicked, but took a deep breath, took a step back, and looked at him quietly. Xiao Qi suddenly felt that this look was very familiar, as if he had seen it tonight.
