Chu State, the capital.

The director in charge of the Jin Kingdom's investigation was surprised when he received the news from Zhou Qing.

After reading it several times and making sure that he was not mistaken, he hesitated and entered the palace to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this is news from the Jin Kingdom, saying that I saw the queen mother at the border of Chu and Jin."

Xiao Yan's pupils were stunned for a moment, and he straightened up and took the news in the principal's hand and looked at it.

The handwriting on it is the spies on the Jin side, but I don't know the authenticity of this news, after all, the border places of Cangjiang and Chu and Jin are completely in two different directions, how could Su Ying appear in that place?

"You immediately sent a message to ask what the hell is going on?"

"Yes."

After the principal stepped down, Xiao Yan's eyebrows gradually became cold.

Zhang Shuming felt that this must be another scam, just like last time.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient."

Xiao Shen picked up the tea on the table to calm himself down, but the restless beating heart in his chest betrayed his emotions, and he didn't know why, he actually felt that it was likely to be true.

"Go, bring me the biggest map."

"Yes."

Zhang Shuming walked to the bookshelf, took the largest map from the top and came to the dragon case to unfold.

Xiao Yan's dark eyes quickly roamed over it, and his slender fingertips drew a curved arc on the map.

"They have not found any trace of the queen around the Cangjiang River, and later Jiang Yang said that people are likely to be taken to the estuary, to the sea, if they really enter the sea, this sea area will have a current in this season, the current will wash people away, maybe it will really go to the Haikou side of the Jin Kingdom."

Zhang Shuming listened to Xiao Yan's words, sighed in his heart, and felt that the emperor was really stunned, and took 10,000 steps back and said, even if the queen was really washed to the sea, would that person still be alive? Who can live from the head of the Cangjiang River to the end of the Cangjiang River?

Zhang Shuming felt that this was Xiao Yan's inner demon, but no one could make him sober up, so he could only think of it himself.

Xiao Yan naturally didn't care what others would think, he only knew, but he would not give up looking for anything that was possible.

"You go and send a message to Wang Su immediately, so that Wang Su can rush to the border area between Chu and Jin in the shortest possible time to see what is going on."

Before, he had sent Wang Su to the vicinity of the mouth of the sea to find Su Ying's whereabouts, and the distance he had passed from there was the closest.

Zhang Shuming didn't dare to refute, and obediently retreated.

Su Ying: They received a reply on the evening of the third day.

The content of the letter was very brief, asking Zhou Qing how he learned about it.

Zhou Qing looked at the reply letter and then at Su Ying, as if asking how to answer.

Su Ying said: "Tell him that it's fake, it's a fake news deliberately released by someone, and you have already seen through it." ”

Zhou Qing was surprised, and really couldn't understand Su Ying's intentions.

Of course, Zhou Qing couldn't figure it out, if there was no spy among them, then she would definitely personally reply to Xiao Yan to tell her that she was still alive.

But now that they have a spies, the news that Zhou Qing sent back is likely to be known by others, if those people use her whereabouts to make a fuss, then the people who really care about her life and death are likely to be used, and unnecessary incidents will inevitably arise, She still plans to wait until she returns to the capital.

Zhou Qing didn't rush to write, but looked at Su Ying suspiciously: "Have you found the whereabouts of the queen mother?" ”

Su Ying's face did not change and said, "I found it." ”

Zhou Qing was even more surprised, why did he lie when he found it?

"Do what I say, there's nothing wrong with it, write it."

Zhou Qing was skeptical.

Su Ying could only patiently explain: "The deputy director is a spy here, and someone will definitely answer him after his news is transmitted, can you be sure that the person who answered him is not hidden among the people you trust?" ”

Zhou Qing understood when he heard her say this, he did this for fear that someone would be unfavorable to the emperor and queen.

After writing, Zhou Qing sent the message out.

"You, did you really find the queen mother?" In fact, what she wanted to ask was that the queen mother fell into the flood under the dam, was that an accident that a person could survive?

But Su Ying replied very firmly, "I found it." ”

Zhou Qing didn't ask where the person was, that was not something she could know.

On the night when Zhou Qing's reply was sent back to the capital, a person came to an inconspicuous house in the dark.

There was only one side room in the house, and a lone lamp was lit, and the figure pushed open the door of the side room and walked in.

The moment he entered, the dim candlelight in the room was instantly extinguished, and the room fell into a cold darkness.

"Master, there is news from the Jin Kingdom again, saying that it was a mistake, and the person who found it was not the queen mother at all."

The people in the room sneered when they heard this, "Can you survive if that place falls?" It's also Xiao Yan's whimsical, but you still sent someone over to find out what's going on, and who can't bear it. ”

"Yes."

……

Until the fifth day, the pass of the Jin Kingdom was not opened, and seeing that the meaning of the Jin Kingdom did not mean to open and close before catching people, it seems that before catching people, they did not plan to open the door.

After waiting for a few days, Su Ying's patience was almost exhausted, but she didn't plan to break through.

When Zhou Qing entered the house, he saw Su Ying's eyes looking at him a little deep.

"What is Childe looking at?"

"I'm looking at your face."

Su Ying simply called Zhou Qing to him, Zhou Qing walked over suspiciously, and before he could speak, he lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of him.

Su Ying brought the person into the space, and after a while of tinkering, she was satisfied with the person brought out.

When Zhou Qing woke up, it was already dark, she looked around suspiciously, and Su Ying sat in a chair, only the flickering bean lamp illuminated her back.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth suspiciously, "Childe." ”

Su Ying's expression moved when she heard this, and she slowly turned her head.

Zhou let out a low exhalation, looking at the face that was exactly like himself in the dim light, and was speechless in surprise.

Su Ying said faintly: "Like? ”

Zhou Qing nodded in astonishment, and heard Su Ying's voice, it turned out that Su Ying had changed into his own appearance.

Zhou Qing got up and walked over to take a closer look, this can't be said to be the same, just looking at the face, it's almost exactly the same!

Even if they are so close, they can't see any flaws, and this face is like Su Ying's, so that people can't find any trace of camouflage.

"Childe is really a good craft."

Su Ying did not deny that this is a one-to-one reduction mask made of animal collagen, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake even in the sun.

"I don't want to wait any longer."
