The girl's cry had actually been heard, and a sturdy middle-aged woman walked to the door of the girl's house and knocked hard.

"Swallow! Are you alright? What's wrong?! ”

This voice came very suddenly, which made Qin Lan a little flustered, and hurriedly retreated to the back of the door and looked at the girl by the door, her eyes were full of pleading, although Qin Lan was not afraid of this girl telling the truth, but if there was some trouble at this time, it would be extremely unfavorable for him to hide.

The girl seemed to have a plan in mind, and made an affirmative gesture to Qin Lan, then opened the door and walked out.

"It's okay, Aunt Yan, there's a mouse in the house, and it's already fine!"

"Are you really alright? Now that the food is in a hurry, do you want to ask your uncle to help you catch it? ”

"It's really okay, Aunt Yan, the mouse has already run out! If I see him again, I'll come to you, and you'll have to help me catch this mouse!" ”

After saying this, the girl glanced back at Qin Lan behind the door, Qin Lan also saw the girl's gaze, lowered her head slightly embarrassed, and wiped her nose.

Then the girl closed the door and walked into the house, took three steps and made two steps, walked to the table in the middle of the room and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and then turned sideways, Qin Lan said:

"I only believe you once, say, what do you want to ask? If you're going to do anything against me, I'm going to shout, just stand there, don't come here! ”

Qin Lan thought that this girl had let down her guard, but it seemed that she had really scared this girl just now, so she hurriedly waved her hand and apologized, and finally stood in place and explained to the girl.

"In Xia Qin Lan, this time I went to the royal city to find a relative, I never thought that this Wang Chen was so heavily guarded now, he had just broken into the city, and was chased here by the officers and soldiers guarding the city! There is no malice in the bottom, but I am afraid that it is harassing the officers and soldiers who are defending the city, which is also a bad thing for the girl! Inevitably, those officers and soldiers will interrogate the girl! ”

"You don't have to threaten me, I said I only believe you once, what questions do you say you want to ask me?"

"The girl is mistaken! Qin didn't mean to threaten, so he didn't hide it from the girl! Qin Lan came to the royal city this time and wanted to know where the palace was! ”

"Huh! You're such an interesting person! Just said that he was being pursued by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, but now he wants to go to the palace by himself! Could it be that he turned himself in? ”

The girl laughed! The person Qin was looking for was in the palace, but Qin recruited himself too conspicuously when he entered the city, and it was inconvenient to swagger through the market. Seeing that the girl was alone, he made this decision and disturbed the girl! ”

"If you're really sorry, wait until you find the person you're looking for, and then apologize to me! I'll ask you again, are you really going to the palace?! ”

"Seriously! Nobie! ”

"Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the people of the palace? During this time, Wang Cheng arrested people everywhere, I don't know what happened to those people who were caught, if you are caught, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat! ”

"Girl, don't worry, Qin Lan has her own methods!"

"Oh well! I'm going to find you a map, but I can't persuade you, so it's up to you to make it up to you! You'll have to help me wash my yard clothes again before I go!" You've got dirty with what you just washed! ”

Qin Lan glanced outside the house, and quickly nodded and agreed with a little embarrassment!

So just like that, the two of them began to wash their clothes in the courtyard, Qin Lan was a little ashamed to keep her head down and be silent, or this girl talked to Qin Lan with a few words from time to time, so that the atmosphere was not so embarrassing.

During the conversation, I learned that the girl's name was Xue Yan, and she had an older brother and father at home. It's just that the two of them went out of the city to do some things two days ago, and they haven't come back yet, Xue Yan is actually a little worried that her father and brother will also be arrested by the officers and soldiers.

Qin Lan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then promised the girl:

"Girl, don't worry, Ling Zun and Brother Ling must be out, some things are delayed, Qin Mou will go to the palace here, and inquire about the news of Ling Zun and Brother Ling by the way!"

Then the two chatted a few more words, washed and dried the clothes, and Qin Lan hurriedly said goodbye to Xue Yan.

When he left Xue Yan's house, it was already evening. It was getting dark, and the officers and soldiers in the city began to bang gongs and gold, informing them that it was curfew time!

After a while, there were no pedestrians in the streets and alleys of the entire royal city, Qin Lan stood on a relatively private roof, looked around, and then took out the map that the girl gave him from his waist.

The map is relatively sloppy, and you can probably see where the palace is, but because it is too sloppy, the lover can't tell where he is now, and he may have to go to the highest place in the royal city to know first.

With a plan in mind, Qin Lan walked towards a tall tower more than a hundred zhang away in front of him, which was about ten zhang long. The tower is made of black stone bricks, and there are pleasant wind chimes on each floor.

When Qin Lan got close to the tower, he saw the plaque of the tower with three big characters written on it, "Hidden Sword Tower", I don't know what the origin of this name has with this tower?

Qin Lan looked at the tower, and there were twenty or thirty guards patrolling directly under the tower, and there were also four officers and soldiers guarding the entrance in front of the tower. But judging from this formation, this arrow tower must not be an ordinary place.

Qin Lan's current place is still more than ten zhang away from the tower body, and it is obviously unrealistic to jump directly from this side, now he has to think about how to enter this tower.

Qin Lan observed on the roof for about more than an hour, and could see that these defenders also changed their guards according to the time, about an hour. During the period of the changing of the guard, their attention was focused on the officers and soldiers who changed the guard. It was only during this time that Qin An could try to break into the tower.

So Qin Lan put all the sundries on his body into the small stone box, making it more convenient for him to act for a while, and in order to be more lightweight, he even put the Ruoyang Sword into the small stone box.

Qin Lan waited on the rooftop, and finally waited for the next shift to be handed over, Qin Lei quickly rushed towards the Hidden Sword Tower with lightning speed.

Qin Lan counted a few feet at a time, took a few breaths and reset in front of a few guards in front of the tower. Without giving them time to react at all, Qin Lan raised his arms forward and slammed into them, instantly carrying the two guards with him. Fly down like a front.

The rest of the people just reacted and were about to arrest them. Qin Lan had already dodged and rushed into the tower.

Qin Lan didn't care about looking behind him at all, and kept rushing towards the tower, about the position of the third floor, Qin Lan felt strange, there was no sound of chasing soldiers behind him, and then slowed down his pace.

Just as he was about to walk back to look, a sudden violent feeling of dizziness rushed straight to Qin Lan's brain, as if a bright light flashed in a daze, and then Qin Lan lost consciousness.
