Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin chatted in the room, and some subordinates brought melon seed kernels and snow ear bird's nest.

Zhou Ruolin said: "At this moment, we can take the opportunity to leave, we can't really investigate any case for that assassination, right?"

Li Tianqi said: "No, if we leave without saying a word, it will give people a sign of weakness, so that the old woman and the little boy may still fall back into the hands of these officials, even if they want to leave, they will still say hello to the assassin." Although I didn't want to get involved in this case at first, but I found out that it was related to the prince, and I couldn't help but raise my interest, and what kind of Su Gan Chengji is actually the prince's personal entourage, if that Su Gan Wei is really his subordinate, then what kind of connection is there?"

"Hmm. It also makes sense. Zhou Ruolin nodded and said, "Then we can only wait for the assassin to come back and interrogate the criminal." ”

"That's right. Li Tianqi said, "When you were in that forest, how did you find the silver ingot?"

Zhou Ruolin said: "Didn't you investigate those people at that time? I wanted to go back to the side of the road and wait for you, but when I walked to the place where the horses were, I found that it was a little messy, and it seemed that someone had quietly run to look for something after we passed." ”

She paused, then continued, "I didn't get those silver taels to drop. The reason why I picked up the silver ingot was precisely because I saw those words, and the other silver taels did not have such words. I felt strange so I took it into my pocket, but when we walked to Yizhou City and met the old woman, I forgot about it and gave her the silver taels. That's ......"

"That's how it happened. Li Tianqi sighed lightly, "I didn't expect that there would be someone who would quietly follow us and steal things? But it's not a bandit for money. ”

Zhou Ruolin said: "Could it be that Lei Yan...... Mother Toad?"

Li Tianqi said: "It is possible. But we were just ordinary people, and we didn't show our kung fu, so why did she hide and steal while we weren't paying attention? Besides, I'm still over there shouting her name, and if she's still there, she'll come out to me. ”

Zhou Ruolin said: "Then I don't know who it is." But I've used my tracking skills, but I've been able to find any information, and that person must not be a simple person. ”

"Hmm. Li Tianqi nodded and said: "Just by being able to evade your tracking skills, then it can be seen that this person must be superb in kung fu, and he also knows our actions at a glance, so he must have been observing us in the dark." ”

"That's the information we have now. Li Tianqi said: "But there is still a possibility. ”

Zhou Ruolin smiled and asked, "What is possible?"

Li Tianqi glanced at her and smiled without saying a word.

What he was thinking about at the moment was that Zhou Ruolin was lying, maybe she was looking for something all along, but she didn't find something, or she found something but hid it for a long time. But it's only a possibility, and he won't say it now.

Zhou Ruolin pouted slightly: "If you don't talk about these things, I forgot to ask, who is the county lord Li Xuanning that you just mentioned? Why did you mention that I was her personal follower, so the assassin didn't doubt me anymore? How did you know each other?"

Li Tianqi said casually: "Oh, it's a long story, I only met her by chance, but it's been many years since the incident, so it's inconvenient to tell you." ”

"Why? Don't you still believe me?" Zhou Ruolin raised her voice, she seemed a little puzzled.

"What do you say?" Li Tianqi smiled: "You still have some secrets that I don't know. For example, why did you think of attacking the King of Wei? And you must have planted an ambush because of the attack on the King of Wei, that is, the fine work. Who is he? I don't have any exact information until now. ”

Zhou Ruolin smiled and said: "It turns out that you are obsessed with this for this, but you are not a person from the imperial court, what is the use of caring about this?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ruolin was really sharp-tongued, and the questions he said did make Li Tianqi have to be convinced, it is true, he is neither a person from the King of Wei nor a person from the crown prince, but just an ordinary person, whether he knows it or not does not matter to him at all.

Zhou Ruolin looked at his reaction and continued: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't want to involve you, and you are not an errand for the imperial court at all, to say great is to protect you, do you know, the more secrets you know, the more dangerous people's situations become, and those things seem to have nothing to do with you at the moment." And why bother yourself, right?"

Li Tianqi couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, you're right, thank you." These things really have nothing to do with me, I don't know why these high-ranking officials and nobles are fighting openly and secretly, and I don't want to wade into this troubled water. ”

"Then can you tell me who she is, how did you meet?" Zhou Ruolin struck while the iron was hot.

Li Tianqi asked, "Do you really want to know?"

"Of course. Maybe it will also help the case?" Zhou Ruolin's eyes widened.

Li Tianqi at this moment, because of Li Xuanning's relationship, he had to pay attention to all the information about the prince, and he accidentally found out that this matter was actually related to the prince, so it was necessary to investigate. Although he knew that Zhou Ruolin also had secrets on him, this was the time when he needed help, if he was alone, sometimes he would not be thoughtful when he encountered things, just like not checking what the horses were carrying in the forest.

"What's the matter? still don't want to say?" Zhou Ruolin couldn't help urging when she saw Li Tianqi start to ponder again.

"Okay. Actually, there's really nothing to hear. Li Tianqi told the county lord Li Xuanning's identity and the process of acquaintance. That week, Ruolin listened attentively, but she didn't realize that the story was finished.

"Hey, that's it. Li Tianqi pushed Zhou Ruolin.

Zhou Ruolin came back to her senses and said again and again: "Oh, it's over?"

"Hmm. Li Tianqi said, "What are you thinking?"

Zhou Ruolin asked, "It turns out that you met her like this, it seems that she must be very grateful to you, right?"

Li Tianqi said: "This kind of thing is what any hot-blooded man would do. ”

"Forget it. You were only a teenager back then," Zhou Ruolin said lightly, "I think she should be very grateful to you." Li Xuanning, I remember. ”

Li Tianqi asked, "What do you remember her name for?" Do you want to know her?"

Zhou Ruolin sneered: "I want you to take care of it!" After that, she said quietly: "But I'm thinking about what Nian Changfeng is going to do? Actually attacked the camp of the crown princess, and what is the origin of that masked woman, why would she follow Nian Changfeng to attack the camp?"

Li Tianqi said: "I don't know about this. Although I have met the masked woman many times since, she obviously won't tell me the truth. ”

"Oh, how many times have you met?" Zhou Ruolin's heart moved, and she couldn't help but ask again: "Is this masked woman you said the same person as the one we met in Black Dragon Pool last time?"

was actually guessed by her, but she didn't expect a woman's intuition to be so effective. Li Tianqi couldn't help but secretly admire, and nodded immediately: "That's right, it's her." ”

"I understand a little now, and sure enough, the masked woman is kind of interesting to you. From the beginning, I wanted to kill, and although I talked very ruthlessly when we met later, I could hear that she had a good impression of you. Zhou Ruolin said coldly.

"Well, you've said that before, and you don't need to repeat it now. Li Tianqi shook his head and said.

Zhou Ruolin said: "She is a disciple of the Shushan Qi Sect, she should not be wrong, and she will naturally know if she is found." ”

"yes, I forgot! That's exactly what you said at the time. Li Tianqi was reminded by her like this, and he thought about it again, he had decided in his heart at the moment, and when the matter was over, he rushed to Shushan to find this masked woman Yuxian, in addition, Fei'er was also a disciple of the Shushan Qi Sect, so thinking about it, they were actually sisters? Fortunately, Shushan is not far away.

"Thank you!" Li Tianqi said with a smile.

"Thank me for what?" Zhou Ruolin was a little unsure of what he meant.

Li Tianqi said: "In short, thank you." ”

"Hmph!" Zhou Ruolin pursed her mouth.

At this moment, the thorn stumbled over, breathless and said, "Lord Shangcha...... Search all the inns...... That...... The guys...... There is no ...... Traces!"

How could this be possible? It was almost nightfall, and they galloped in, and they must have to stay overnight, and the nearest town near Yizhou City was seventy or eighty miles away, and according to normal calculations, they should have stayed in the city.

Li Tianqi slowly stood up and asked, "Can you check them one by one?"

The thorn Shi poured himself a cup of hot tea, drank it and said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, Xia Guan Jun has checked them one by one, there are ten inns in this city, and no one in that kind of dress has been found. ”

Zhou Ruolin said: "This is strange. I didn't find anyone. ”

Li Tianqi said: "It's not surprising, it's not difficult for their group of people to live in a private house. Maybe there is also an industry. ”

The thorn Shi wiped his sweat and asked, "What should I do?"

"Have you ever asked the soldiers defending the city if they have seen these people go out of the city?" Li Tianqi said.

"This ......" The assassin apparently didn't ask the guards.

"Don't worry, this group of people should not be out of the city, notify the city gates overnight tonight to see if these people are found out of the city, at least we can verify whether this group of people have gone out of the city, if they don't go out, you can also let the city guards pay attention, and if they find that such people are out of the city, they will be detained immediately!" Li Tianqi said.

"Okay! The lower official will immediately send someone to do it. The thorn said.
