Chapter 238: Next
"Master, are you all right?" On the way to Kyoto, taking advantage of the break, Tsuneshu asked with concern.
Zhou Jin sat on a stake in the forest, his face was very pale, he kept coughing, and he waved his hand.
After recovering a little, he took the cup from Chang Xiu's hand, which contained freshly boiled water and was hot.
"What's the news about Qiannan and Kyoto?" Zhou Jin held the cup and covered his hands, barely suppressed the itch in his throat, and asked in a hoarse voice.
When he came from Kyoto to find Xie Yangui, although he was also in a hurry, he was not as urgent as he is now, and with Yushu here, he could often administer needles to him, even if he was uncomfortable, he could be relieved quickly.
Now, in order to rush back to Kyoto as soon as possible, there is less time to rest, and if it weren't for the pills prepared by Zhou Jin, the situation would only be worse.
Seeing that he was already like this, and still worried about the situation in Qiannan and Kyoto, Chang Xiu couldn't help frowning.
The current situation is not suitable for any more hard work, but Chang Xiu knows that even persuasion is useless.
"Bring it." Zhou Jin suddenly stretched out a hand, Chang Xiu was stunned, and then took out a letter from his arms.
I just received it, but it was not written by Xie Yangui to him, the letter came from Kyoto and was written by Xie Yangui.
It was not easy to bring this letter out of the palace and send it to Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin frowned, took out the letter paper, and quickly scanned it.
He didn't see any news that was too important, so he had to be relieved, and suddenly thought of the method that Xie Yangui taught him, so he read it again.
Sure enough, I saw something different in the letter.
"Master, what did the mother say?" Seeing that after he read the letter, he didn't say anything for a long time, and his eyes kept falling on the letter, Chang Xiu asked with concern.
He didn't know the code between Xie Ji and Xie Yangui, and it was inevitable that he wouldn't understand the letter.
"Niangniang said that she got a thing, which was related to the former prince, and hid it in a safe place, so that I could take it away and put it away when I returned to Kyoto."
This was good news, but Zhou Jin couldn't be happy, and for some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart again.
The last time I felt this way was in the paddock, and he went to see Xie Cheng for this reason.
"Let's speed up a little faster and get back to Beijing as soon as possible." After speaking, Zhou Jin took a sip of water and got up from the stake, because he was in too much hurry, his body couldn't help shaking.
Chang Xiu hurriedly supported him.
"You don't have to follow me, go to Zhuangzi in person, bring all those dead soldiers, and rush back to Qiannan as soon as possible, maybe you can help Madame." Zhou Jin straightened up and commanded Chang Xiu.
"Master, you are like this, how can I leave with confidence? At least ......" Chang Xiu hurriedly spoke, and when he saw Zhou Jin looking at him, he had to shut up.
"Go ahead." He heard his master command again.
"Yes." After following for many years, Chang Xiu really knows Zhou Jin's temper, and since it is something he decides, he will not change it easily.
He saluted Zhou Jin, finished what he had to say, and specially explained a few words to the other guards before leaving.
Seeing Chang Xiu go away, Zhou Jin did not delay, re-mounted, and continued to run towards Kyoto.
——
Wei Yan shuttled through the forest again, he was out of Kyoto with the escort of the Li family.
Unlike the first night of the Feng family's trip out of Beijing, last night was unharmed.
This time, Wei Yan followed the Li family out of Beijing, which was also different from the last time he hid in the forest to see the Feng family, and when necessary, he needed to make a move.
Although now, Wei Yan still didn't quite understand what Yunlan meant, but since he explained it like this, he had no choice but to obey.
Who let that be his uncle?
At this time, it was noon, and seeing that the leader of the team signaled to rest, Wei Yan covered his stomach, planning to find a place to make it easier.
After marking the tree, Wei Yan headed for the depths of the forest, and he walked for a while before finding a suitable and convenient hiding place.
However, what Wei Yan didn't know was that just as he was heading to the depths of the forest, from another
A group of people poured out of the forest in front of them.
If Wei Yan was here at that time, he would have found that this team of people was even more neat, they were not only coming for the Li family, but the people who were in charge of escorting them were not spared.
Soon, the ground lay down, and the smell of blood filled the forest.
After the convenience, Wei Yan walked back in a good mood, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he smelled the bloody breath.
Not daring to delay any longer, he drew his weapon and quickly rushed towards the location where the Li family was staying.
By the time he arrived, the killers were gone, leaving only corpses.
"Hiss......" frowned, Wei Yan waited for a while, making sure that no one would go and return, and then stepped forward to check the nearest ...... Corpses.
It was a guard in charge of escorting, and judging from the wounds, the other party was trained to kill with one hit.
Such a means is ...... in the inner guard Wei Yan's action to inspect the wound suddenly stopped.
After exhaling a breath, Wei Yan checked several people one after another, all of them were killed with a single knife, and there was no way to live.
This method is not the same as the person who assassinated the Feng family that day.
That is, they are not a bunch.
Wei Yan's heart once again came up with the idea just now, and he felt that maybe these people were really from the internal guard.
But he knew that the current leader of the internal guard was Yunlan, and if he was really instructed by him, it would be impossible not to tell him.
He remembered very clearly that before leaving Kyoto, Yun Lan's original words were: You follow the Li family's team out of Beijing, if you encounter an assassin, help if necessary, it is best to leave one or two alive.
But looking at these means, he alone is afraid that he will not be able to save the living, and he may even be able to catch himself.
If someone else's words, he may suspect that the other party wants to take the opportunity to get rid of him, but that person is Yunlan, so ...... There's a big problem with that.
Not daring to delay any longer, Wei Yan immediately headed back towards Kyoto.
——
"Niangniang, I just got the news, the people of the Li family ...... It's gone." Yu Qin came in from outside the hall and said back to Xie Hui.
"The Li family is gone? Whose hand did it?" Xie Cheng was a little surprised.
Although she really wanted to get rid of the Li family, she knew that this was not the best time, and she was still looking for an opportunity, but she didn't expect it to happen.
"I don't know, the news just came back." Yu Qin shook her head, then thought of something, and lowered her voice, "Niangniang, could it be...... Cloud Chief?"
"No, he wouldn't do such a rash thing, let alone ...... He should know what I'm thinking."
Back then, the affairs of the Xie family were inseparable from the Feng family and the Li family, and Xie Ji, who was the daughter of the Xie family, naturally wanted to use her own people to solve the two of them.
She and Yunlan are old friends, although they are counted as his own people, but he will never overstep his responsibilities in such a thing, unless it is her request.
"Yuqin, there are so many things that are not right, maybe as I thought." Xie Ji frowned tightly.
She didn't say it very clearly, but Yuqin understood what she meant, and frowned.
"Mother, let's ...... next. What should I do?"
