Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Detective

At night, Qu Lanyue counted the hours and quietly walked out of the courtyard in dark clothes.

During the day, I chatted with Taoliu and learned that although the southwest corner was leaning on the moat, there was an undercurrent channel left when the mansion was built, which was connected with the lotus pond in the mansion. If this is the case, then it is estimated that the path to enter the house must be the secret passage in the water.

The night rain is light, and there is silence in all directions.

Qu Lanyue avoided several night patrols and went to the southwest corner of King Qi's mansion. The rain soaked his clothes, and his steps became more and more urgent, and he finally found the lotus pond, but he was blocked by thorns more than one person high, and he couldn't squeeze into the corner of the wall at all.

The heavier the rain came, Qu Lanyue didn't know who was waiting there, and she didn't know if anyone was coming. His heart sank, and he raised his sleeves to hide his face, and squeezed away the thorns. The stabs cut through the garments and cut the flesh and skin. Qu Lanyue seemed to feel no pain, and struggled to move forward.

Squeezed through the thorns, it was pitch black. With feeling, Qu Lanyue tapped a stone on a wall three times, holding her breath and waiting.

Qu Lanyue waited for a while and did not respond, a little lost. I wanted to strike again but was afraid that the sound would attract the people of the night patrol not far away, so I raised my hand after thinking about it again.

Before the tapping hand fell, I suddenly heard a sound from the lotus pond next to me. Qu Lanyue's heart tightened, she stepped aside, and looked sideways in silence.

In the light of the verandah in the distance, I saw a dark shadow floating in the water, as if swimming towards me.

The black shadow swam to the shore and called softly: "Miss Qu? ”

Qu Lanyue hesitated for a moment, walked out of the corner and stepped forward, clenched his hands into fists, and said softly: "Who are you?" ”

When the man saw Qu Lanyue's figure, he seemed to let down his guard, supported his hands, and quickly climbed the shore.

The person who came was dressed in black, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew that it was a man with a dignified body. The man was dripping with water, bowed his hands, and saluted Qu Lanyue.

Raindrops fell on the faces of the two who looked at each other.

"Who are you?"

A thick and calm voice came: "Girl, time is pressing, my subordinates are making a long story short!" subordinate Su Zhihuan, his father is a deputy general under the general, the general was framed by Xu Changtian and died tragically, knowing that the general was framed by gangsters, but because there is no evidence, he can't avenge the general. Xu Changtian was tyrannical and brutal, and now the Zhenbei army was convicted and executed for the slightest disobedience, and several soldiers have died under his knife. My father is helpless, but he knows how to obey! The subordinates were originally ordered by their father to come to rescue the girl, but because the prince set up a round-up, they could not get close, so the girl was trapped here, and asked the girl to surrender! ”

Qu Lanyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this, exhaled briefly, and said in a trembling voice: "You are Su Zhihuan?" ”

I thought about all the possibilities, but I didn't expect it to be him!

Su Zhihuan got up. "It's a subordinate!"

Qu Lanyue was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know how he found Yingge and thought of this method.

Stabilize your mind and remember what Xiao Qi said that night, "My father ......"

Su Zhihuan was sad in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Girl's Day mourning! ”

Qu Lanyue paused when she heard this, tried her best to hold back, and spoke again, "My father has no grievances or enmity with that Xu Changtian, why did he want to kill my father?" ”

Su Zhihuan heard this, "Girl, this matter is a long story, now is not a place to stay for a long time, I heard that you will be in the water, and I have wronged you, and when I get out of the Qi Palace, my subordinates will talk to you in detail!" ”

Qu Lanyue came back to her senses, raised her sleeves to wipe the rain off her face, and responded softly: "Okay!" ”

Su Zhihuan told Qu Lanyue how to escape after entering the water, and then heard a cold voice behind him: "You are too bold!" Dare to come to my Qi Wangfu to intercept people! ”

didn't see anyone coming, this voice alone shocked Qu Lanyue's whole person!

Xiao Qi!

"Girl, go away!"

Su Zhihuan knew that something was wrong, so he protected Qu Lanyue behind him and motioned for her to go first!
