Chapter 141: A Mess of Hemp in the City Lord's Mansion
"My lord, according to his humble position, Li Haoran may not be clear about everything that happened in Guangqi City. ”
In the Jinluo City Lord's Mansion, in a hall not far from Chu Yan's bedroom, under the dim candlelight, there were two figures standing and sitting, and the one who spoke was a man in black tights, and the face of the man in black was covered by a black cloth, and he couldn't see his expression, but from the respect that appeared in his two eyes when he looked at Chu Yan at the moment, it could be seen that the man in black should be Chu Yan's henchman.
If Su Qin was here at the moment, he would find that the development of things was not much different from what he had guessed, and after the man in black came back from Li Haoran, he was indeed looking for Chu Yan to return to his life.
Chu Yan didn't speak after listening to the words of the man in black, but was silent, and Chu Yan, who was frowning, looked full of worry at the moment.
Time has passed, at this time to be able to be received by Chu Yan - in addition to the man in black is Chu Yan's henchman, there is also a very important reason, Chu Yan is waiting for the news of the man in black, the news is good and bad, the arrival of the citizens of Guangqi City is a big deal in the eyes of many people, but Chu Yan doesn't care about this, so when he heard the man in black talk about Li Haoran, the look on his face has not changed much, and it is still gloomy and terrifying.
As if knowing that Chu Yan's mind was not here, the man in black took two steps forward at this time and stretched out a broken arrow in his hand.
Looking at the dried blood stains on the feather arrow, Chu Yan frowned and looked at the man in black with some puzzlement, the man in black has deep trust in Chu Yan, and the person who can be trusted by Chu Yan must have a strength that ordinary people can't reach.
Chu Yan waited quietly, he knew that the man in black would not take out a broken arrow for no reason, and he knew what the man in black was going to say next.
"As for the ...... outside the city" Speaking of this, the man in black spoke, and his two eyes looked at the teacup held in Chu Yan's hand, the teacup had been held by Chu Yan in his hand for nearly half an hour, during this time, Chu Yan did not take a sip, and the tea was now cold.
"Concubine Luo's disappearance...... Although I haven't found any trace of those people yet, I already have some eyebrows, and I ask my lord to give me a little more time, and I will definitely find out about the matter. ”
"Time...... Not enough. Chu Yan, who had been silent, looked up at the man in black at this time and smiled bitterly, his eyes stayed on the remnant arrow for a moment, "Concubine Luo left Jinluo City in the morning, if she doesn't arrive in Xiliang City at dusk tomorrow, Xiliang City will definitely send someone to ask about it, and then everyone in the world will know about Concubine Luo's accident." ”
"No one knows what happened to Concubine Luo yet. The man in black was silent for a moment.
"Just because no one knows doesn't mean we're going to be able to get out of the relationship. Chu Yan got up as he said and looked at the night outside, "The matter of Guangqi City has nothing to do with us, Li Haoran wants to make trouble with him, the question now is, where is Concubine Luo now? What is the purpose of their abduction of Concubine Luo? As for the small issues of Concubine Luo's disappearance in Jinluo City or Xiliang City...... Chu Yan's words were not finished, he heard a knock on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" Chu Yan asked with a frown.
"My lord, supper is ready. ”
"Got it. Chu Yan responded, and then glanced at the man in black, "Wait until the people from Xiliang City come to ask, you send someone to perfunctory first, this day's time, I need you to give me a definite answer." ”
"Concubine Luo...... Dead no. After saying this softly, Chu Yan walked outside, although Chu Yan was not hungry at the moment, but eating could calm his mood, just like some people would eat desperately when they were in a bad mood or sad and angry, only when they were full enough would they feel that they were still alive.
The man in black bent down to send Chu Yan away, and when Chu Yan's figure disappeared, the man in black looked down at the half-broken arrow in his hand, his eyes were confused, and then his fingers moved slightly, only to see a few candles in the hall extinguished in an instant.
Without light, there is no shadow.
The man in black was originally a shadow living beside Chu Yan.
The remnant arrow in the hand of the man in black was dug out of the snow, the arrow was an ordinary visible feather arrow, the difference was a notch left on the arrow, if the man in black did not guess wrong, the notch on the arrow was deliberately carved by Ning Xichen, what does a small circle notch represent?
The man in black couldn't imagine under what circumstances Ning Xichen had saved this feather arrow, and he didn't know what Ning Xichen wanted to express through this feather arrow.
The man in black only knew that from the bloodstains on the snow outside the city, it could be seen that many people who traveled with Luo Xiyue should have died.
Hiding the feather arrow in his hand, the man in black thought about every detail when he checked the scene today, he was afraid that he would miss a little detail and cause things to go unpredictable, so he stood in the dark for a while, and when the man in black who closed his eyes and thought about it was sure that he had nothing wrong, suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared, and a person's face appeared.
The face was blurry at first, but as the man in black contemplated the recollection, the face became clearer and clearer.
The man in black always felt like he had seen that face there.
Because the face is not unfamiliar, but the man in black just can't remember.
It's a very distressing thing, just like some people spend a lot of time thinking about the past that they have been thinking about for a long time.
Thinking of Chu Yan's advice before leaving, the man in black shook his head, wanting to forget the face in his mind, because the man in black knew that Luo Xiyue's disappearance could be big or small, as small as Ning Guo was just one less concubine, and if it was big, it would be war.
Thinking of the war, the man in black was overjoyed.
Because he knew who the man he was seeing.
Although he didn't look too carefully, the man in black was sure that he was not mistaken, Qi Luoge.
Since he knew that it was Qi Luoge, the man in black couldn't help but be a little suspicious of his eyes, didn't Qi Luoge die as early as when Qingyun City was broken? Then who was he seeing? Thinking of this, the man in black wanted to go to Chu Yan to confirm it and see if Qi Luoge of Qingyun City had died as rumored by the outside world.
Of course, everything that happened in Qingyun City at the beginning was not something that could be explored at will at the level of the man in black, the man in black just wanted to make sure, if Qi Luoge was not dead, then would Qi Luoge have anything to do with what happened in Guangqi City? And why did Qi Luoge come to Jinluo City, and would it have anything to do with Luo Xiyue's disappearance?
Things are getting more and more complicated, and the black-clothed people have a plan in their hearts, and they can't help but speed up their pace and rush to the place where Chu Yan has supper.
The corridor in the City Lord's Mansion turned around, and when Su Qin was following Dafu and a few people, he had to carefully observe the secret whistle in the City Lord's Mansion, of course he didn't know the conversation between the man in black and Chu Yan before, but looking at the man in black who suddenly came, Su Qin couldn't help but hold his breath again.
The fire in the stove in the house creaked, Chu Yan heard the man in black ask about Qi Luoge's life and death, and couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in his hand, and Su Qin couldn't understand why the man in black suddenly asked this question, could it be that something happened to Qi Luoge?
"Qi Luoge is not dead. Chu Yan said lightly, and after speaking, he looked at the man in black and asked, "Are you sure you didn't look at the wrong person?"
"You can't be mistaken. The man in black said affirmatively, and looked at Chu Yan after speaking, "My lord, since Qi Luoge dares to come to Jinluo City, is it still at such a time...... You see......"
"Qi Luoge, you send someone to investigate, the top priority now is to find Luo Xiyue's whereabouts, so that I can also give an explanation to the imperial court. ”
With a soft hum, the man in black was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly saw a small black shadow beside the stove, and couldn't help frowning.
"My lord, you eat slowly, be careful of scalding. The man in black said something in his words, looking at Chu Yan, who had already understood the meaning of his words, the man in black turned around sharply, and raised his hand to see three flying knives break out of the window.
Just as the man in black threw out the flying knife, the body of the man in black rushed out of the door like an arrow from the string.
When he came to the door, looking at the three flying knives on the corridor, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he shouted to protect the adult, and then ran to the opposite side of the corridor.
Su Qin, who was originally listening attentively to the conversation between the man in black and Chu Yan outside, didn't know what was wrong with him, and he would be discovered by the man in black, Su Qin at this time was no longer the hairy young man who had just walked out of the mountain, when the man in black spoke to Chu Yan to warn, Su Qin sensed that something was wrong, he didn't dare to stop when he turned around, he turned around and ran up in the city lord's mansion.
Now that a stranger has broken into the City Lord's Mansion, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion are running fast like machines, those dark sentinels are still ambushed in the dark, and Mingli has reached the point of three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, Su Qin dodged and ran for a while, and heard the messy footsteps in front of him, Su Qin paused violently, hid himself in the dark, and looked at the soldiers who ran over with lanterns, Su Qin found that he didn't know when he returned to the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion.
Walk through the corridor in front of you, turn left, pass through a small firewood house, and then run through a clearing of about three feet, climb out of the wall in front of you, and go out of the city lord's mansion.
Su Qin thought silently in his heart, but looking at the torches on the other side of the corridor, Su Qin knew where there were already soldier handles, although the distance was less than ten zhang, but how difficult was it to get out?
Su Qin, who was thinking hard about how to get out of trouble, saw a familiar face, and couldn't help but be stunned, Su Qin didn't understand why Cai Mingquan was still in the kitchen at the moment.
As if hearing the noise outside, Cai Mingquan poked his head out of the kitchen and looked left and right, although he didn't understand what was happening, Cai Mingquan knew that it was better to hurry back to his residence, but when he looked back at some of the food he had just found, Cai Mingquan was a little difficult to give up.
Su Qin helped him make this decision
Seeing Cai Mingquan, Su Qin's mind moved and he decided to take a risk.
