Chapter 139: When no one whispers in the middle of the night
(There is also a shift in the evening.) )
It was late at night, but the lights were still there.
Although the big red lantern hanging on the wall of Jinluo City still has snow remaining, the faint light emitted by the red candle is still eye-catching in the dark night.
In the sky above Jinluo City, the night sky was lonely and deep, and there were no stars.
Looking at the snow outside the inn window, Su Qin gently lowered the light blue embroidered curtains, if he remembered correctly, Qi Luo Ge had been out for three hours, but he had not returned yet, Su Qin didn't know what Qi Luo Ge had found, or what he had encountered.
The inn was silent, Su Qin looked at the neatly folded futons, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, he walked to the bed, Su Qin took the Huangquan knife, then opened the wooden door, and walked outside the inn - although winter was about to pass, Su Qin did not feel the slightest warmth in the air, but felt that the air at the moment was a little irrepressible and dull.
The reason why he brought the Huangquan Knife was because Su Qin felt that the Huangquan Knife could make him feel a little safe—it wasn't until many years later that Su Qin realized that the only one who could bring him a sense of security was himself.
Although the streets of Jinluo City were deserted, it made Su Qin feel a little free, compared to Guangqi City, which was once guarded, Jinluo City, which had no soldiers guarding the streets at this moment, made Su Qin's heart relax a lot, and walked a few streets aimlessly, Su Qin stopped at a crossroads.
There are tents temporarily set up by the city's residents who came from Guangqi City, only for rest and cooking, the open canopy is not big but can shelter the wind, after these few days of rushing, now many of them are sleeping deeply, only a few tents are still exposed by candlelight, through the corner of the tent lifted by the wind, Su Qin saw the figure of Li Haoran not far away at a glance, Li Haoran was alone and buried in what was written.
"With one lamp, all the lights will be bright, and finally all the lights will be bright. After writing this sentence, Li Haoran put down the pen and fell into silence, and then suddenly picked up the written fold, put it on the candle and lit it, and the paper and ink turned to ashes.
Looking at Li Haoran's actions, Su Qin was a little puzzled, he didn't know why Li Haoran was like this, he suddenly paused when he wanted to turn around and leave, and then silently took half a step back, hiding his entire body in the dark.
Of course Su Qin didn't know that at dusk, Chu Yan and Li Haoran had a short but extremely clear conversation, and no one knew the content of the conversation, but from the indignant look after Li Haoran left the City Lord's Mansion, the conversation between Li Haoran and Chu Yan should have ended unhappily.
The living settlement of these tens of thousands of city residents is a big problem, and these problems plague Li Haoran at the moment, so that he can't sleep at night, so Li Haoran wants to go to the imperial court, report everything that happened in Guangqi City according to the truth, and then ask for a way to live for these innocent people, but Li Haoran didn't expect Chu Yan to cleanly refuse his request to let these people live in Jinluo City temporarily, and he didn't even have much respect for Li Haoran's tone.
Thinking of what Chu Yan said before, and then thinking of the holy decree issued to him by Emperor Lu Tianxing of the Yan State in Guangqi City, although Li Haoran, who had been warning himself with guarding against irritability and anger, still burned the song he had just written into ashes - Li Haoran believed that Lu Tianxing must have known what happened in Guangqi City, but he knew but did not say anything, this situation made Li Haoran feel helpless at the same time, but also felt that things were a little bad.
At this moment, Li Haoran was a little faintly worried, he was worried that things would be much worse than he imagined.
Although worried, Li Haoran didn't know how he should choose to express his anger to the high imperial power.
Sighing lightly, Li Haoran remembered what Qiao Er said to him at the beginning, and his face became colder and colder, although he played an unimportant role in the incident in Guangqi City, but at this moment, since he took these citygoers out of Guangqi City and took them to live a better life, it was his responsibility and obligation.
Li Haoran, who decided to go north alone, turned around and came to the outside of the tent, looking up at the night sky, he didn't notice the two figures that had quietly left.
Just when Su Qin was about to leave just now, he saw a figure outside Li Haoran's tent, if it weren't for Li Haoran lighting the music in his hand to make the glimmer in the tent brighter, Su Qin might not have found the hidden figure.
It should be a warrior, otherwise he wouldn't stand there quietly, like an epiphany that only grows in the dark.
Because his attention was focused on Li Haoran, the shadow did not notice Su Qin, who came silently, after watching Li Haoran light the recital, a sneer pulled out from the corner of his mouth, and then his steps were lightly raised, like a gust of wind, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Seeming to be familiar with the streets of Jinluo City, he didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to follow him, after the figure left the tent, he shuttled up and down the building where the city residents lived, and Su Qin calmly followed the figure fifty steps behind, until he saw the shadow disappear into a mansion.
Looking at the three words of the City Lord's Mansion written on the red lantern, Su Qin hesitated for a moment, and finally made a quick decision, that is, to continue to follow, at this time, the expression on Su Qin's face was the same as when he caught the beast in the Adis Mountain, with a little seriousness and calmness.
Su Qin didn't understand why this black shadow was staring at Li Haoran in the middle of the night, and he didn't know what secrets were hidden in the City Lord's Mansion. In a plain alliance country like Yan Country, the City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly a place that will be heavily guarded, this is like a person's heart, the reason why Su Qin hesitated just now is this, but thinking of Qi Luo Ge who went to inquire about the news, Su Qin did not give up halfway because the City Lord's Mansion would hide the danger, in Su Qin's opinion, Qi Luo Ge went out to find out the news is not an adventure, as a man, sometimes he should be more able to take on some things than a woman.
The City Lord's Mansion where Chu Yan lived was quiet at the moment, but there was a dark flow in the quiet, Su Qin just looked at the wall for a moment, and saw a pair of patrolling soldiers and a few secret sentinels hidden in the dark, and the black shadow Su Qin didn't know where it went.
Taking a deep breath, Su Qin walked along the walls of the City Lord's Mansion until his nose was filled with a smell.
Looking up at the faintly visible cooking smoke, although Su Qin didn't smile, the old scar on the corner of his mouth made Su Qin look like he was exuding a demagogic smile in the dark night.
After confirming that his thoughts were correct, Su Qin's body jumped and disappeared into the darkness like a fish jumping through a dragon gate.
