Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Black-Clad Beast
It was getting late, scattered raindrops began to float around, and the cold wind blew across Qin Wan's cheeks, and a little dryness welled up in her heart.
The code had disappeared halfway, and she didn't have any clues now, so she didn't know what happened to Xiao Jun with Xiao Yan.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Qin Wan suddenly became vigilant, turned over and dismounted, waved his hand to put the horse into his space, and turned around to hide.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Qin Wan finally saw clearly that the person on the horse was a masked killer dressed in black.
She narrowed her eyes, this person was one of those who came to assassinate Xiao Yan.
The man in black looked around, but didn't seem to find anything, and continued to gallop away.
When the man in black was far away, Qin Wan put the horse back out of the space and followed in the direction of the man in black.
If these people assassinated Xiao Yan, then following them, you can find some of Xiao Yan's whereabouts.
On a rainy night, Qin Wan came to a dilapidated post station, and nearly twenty horses were tied to the stables outside the post station.
Now that the flood has just passed, it is impossible for the inn and the general guests to have so many horses, there is only one possibility.
These horses are those of the men in black.
Qin Wan put the horse into the space and quietly slipped into the post station, most of the lights in the guest rooms of the post house were turned off, and only one of the wings on the second floor was still lit.
In the side room, several people in black sat at the table with cold faces.
"That kid seems to have evaporated from the world, we searched all the neighborhoods, and we didn't find any shadow."
"He was in a coma, and it was impossible for him to run far."
"The boss said that if we don't take Xiao Yan's head back, we can only go to see the prince."
Rajah?
Qin Wan immediately grabbed a key word.
Qin Tianfu has many sons, in addition to the crown prince, there are three kings.
Could it be them?
But when she thought about it, she thought it was impossible.
Those people's fiefs are all on the frontier, far away from here, and they have no motive to kill Xiao Yan, and even for them, if they can recruit Xiao Yan under their hands, it can even bring greater benefits.
In addition to the three princes who were crowned kings, there was only one king with a different surname left in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Xingwang Muyunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou's grandfather had an expedition to the Western Regions, made immortal military exploits, was accepted as a righteous son by Emperor Gao, made an exception to be crowned king, and even the fief was in Huaiyang Mansion next to Jingzhao Mansion, bearing the heavy responsibility of guarding Gyeonggi.
To Mu Yunzhou's vein, it has been three generations.
When Qin Tianfu was called the emperor, he sent Xu Yu and Mu Yunzhou to make a deal secretly, and did not storm Huaiyang Mansion, and it was also under Mu Yunzhou's support that he was able to successfully enter Jingzhao Mansion.
However, Mu Yunzhou sent someone to kill Xiao Yan, which is even more unreasonable.
They had no grievances, and even in the back, Mu Yunzhou stood on Xiao Yan's side and pushed Xiao Yan to the throne.
Qin Wan listened for a while, but didn't hear any more useful information.
These people didn't find Xiao Yan either, and they were confused.
She didn't act rashly and left quietly.
Before she knew who the murderer was behind the scenes, Qin Wan didn't want to startle the snake, if these people were really sent by King Xing, she still had to think about how to resolve them, so as not to cause trouble to Xiao Yan in the future.
After all, when she arrived in Xizhou, she patted her ass and didn't care, Xiao Yan still had to fight the country.
Qin Wan did not live at the post station, and continued to look for Xiao Yan's whereabouts.
It was drizzling and a little cold.
Just as she was about to find a place to rest, she suddenly saw a figure of a man and a horse in the rain not far away.
The man was not a man in black, he seemed to be an official, and his figure was somewhat familiar.
Qin Wan looked at it for a moment, and suddenly reacted in an instant.
It's Egawa!
She immediately became alarmed.
Huang Mazi said that Jiang Chuan is from the Prince's Mansion, so there is no need to lie to her.
Could it be that this matter also has something to do with Qin Zheng?
It was night, and Qin Wan had been secretly following Jiang Chuan.
Until dawn, the rain stopped.
Jiang Chuan suddenly blew a whistle, and a black eagle fell from the clouds, he took a pen and paper with him and wrote a secret letter, tied it to the black eagle's feet, and released the black eagle into the air.
At the moment when the black eagle spread its wings, it suddenly let out a miserable wail and fell to the ground.
Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Qin Wan appeared in front of him and grabbed the injured Black Eagle.
"Princess?" Jiang Chuan said in surprise.
Qin Wan looked at his expression, but he didn't see the slightest hint of panic.
Her starry eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked quietly, "Jiang Messenger, what are you doing here?" ”
"We met the killer in Crescent Mountain, Xiao Jun fled with Xiao Yan, I came to find them."
"Come to find Xiao Jun and Xiao Yan, why do you want to send secret letters?" Qin Wan said as he pulled the secret letter out of the Black Hawk's leg.
"Princess, might as well read the contents of the secret letter?" Egawa-do.
Qin Wan opened the secret letter with one hand, glanced at the handwriting on it, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and asked Jiang Chuan, "Who are you?" ”
On the secret letter, it was written: Xiao Yan is in trouble, come to the rescue.
This could never have been sent to the Prince's Mansion.
Jiang Chuan took a step back, respectfully saluted Qin Wan, and said, "Princess, my subordinates are entrusted by Mr. Xu to escort you and the prince all the way to Xizhou. ”
"Xu Yu?" Qin Wan reacted immediately.
"Exactly, Mr. Xu knew that the prince was in trouble, so he specially sent a message to his subordinates, asking his subordinates to take care of you along the way, and if you encounter trouble, you can ask him for help."
Qin Wan didn't expect that Jiang Chuan would be Xu Yu's person, and he has always been like a bystander along the way, never showing the slightest kindness to them.
Suddenly, Qin Wan thought of something and hurriedly asked, "You won't tell Xu Yu everything that happened along the way, right?" ”
Xu Yu is very smart, if he knows everything, he will definitely detect something.
"No, Mr. Xu just asked his subordinates to take care of you all the way, and he didn't ask to report your situation at any time, and his subordinates didn't dare to disturb Mr. Xu easily."
From Jiang Chuan's tone, Qin Wan faintly felt that he had an extremely strong reverence for Xu Yu.
"You and Xu Yu ......"
"Mr. Xu once saved the lives of our family from the hands of the bandits, I have sworn in my heart that I will be loyal to Mr. Xu for life, the princess does not have to worry, Mr. Xu is on the side of the prince, he will not harm you."
"Huang Mazi once said before, are you from the Prince's Mansion?"
"I was also looking for Mr. Xu for that matter, and the commander of the Prince's Mansion has an old ......relationship with Mr. Xu, just like me," Jiang Chuan explained.
There are also Xu Yu's people in the prince's mansion?
Qin Wan suddenly reacted back, Xu Yu in the book has a very high prestige in Dayan, Qin Tianfu was defeated in the early stage, it was precisely because he met Xu Yu that he regained his foothold, and with Xu Yu's extremely high intelligence, he slowly tried to advance.
All the generals under Qin Tianfu had been dispatched by Xu Yu and had received Xu Yu's favor.
In a way, Xu Yu's prestige may be higher than Qin Tianfu.
She breathed a sigh of relief, since Jiang Chuan was not from the Prince's Mansion, there was no need to avoid it, she hurriedly asked: "Jiang Messenger, you have followed all the way here, have you found any other clues left by Xiao Jun?" ”
