Although Gong Yan said that it was not important to find Qin Yiren, he did not relax his search for all parts of Lingshi County at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's just that although this Lingshi County is not big, the area outside the city is extremely wide, and there are many mountains and forests, and searching for a person in it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The officers of the Lingshi County Ya and the people of the Quanzhou branch of the Zhongyi League searched for three days, but they still found nothing. And the surveillance of the mountain temple was also in vain, and not even a suspicious figure was seen.

But Ji Ruchen still clearly felt that a huge danger was approaching him step by step. He knew in his heart that if he didn't act soon, this dangerous situation would continue until his identity was completely revealed.

Gong Yan's prediction was not wrong, there was an extra woman who didn't know martial arts to protect, which made Ji Ruchen's situation more and more difficult.

The bamboo house on the mountain was no longer safe, so he sent the Qin Yi people to hide in a very hidden stone cave in the back mountain. But this is not a long-term solution after all, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and a weak woman cannot protect herself at all. In addition, there are occasional hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt, and there is a possibility that they will discover the hiding place of the Qin Yi people at any time.

If it is only handled by the government, it is likely to be perfunctory, and after a period of time, it will become an unsolved case, and no one will care about it anymore.

However, the attitude of the Loyalist Alliance on this matter is quite different. Since the day the first helmsman was killed, they have not stopped tracking down the murderer.

The leader of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance, Xue Youyou, even when the war in the north was still tense, he personally went to Luzhou and Huizhou to investigate the killing of the helmsman there. Although she finally returned in vain, it was enough to show her attitude of loyalty and righteousness.

And after Xue Youyou left, Gong Yan came. He has been in the South for more than half a year, and has been relentlessly tracking down the murderer.

This Gong Yan is thoughtful and extremely patient, although the recent operation to open the net has not been effective, he is still very calm, and he has come up with an even more terrifying stupid method - to investigate the hundreds of households in Lingshi County one by one.

After hearing his decision from Gong Yan's mouth, Ji Ruchen knew that the day when his identity would be revealed was coming soon. As Gong Yan said, he is now unavoidable and has nothing to hide!

Now that the mistake has been made, there is nothing to regret. From the day he started working as a killer, he knew that there was no way back, and it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

This is also the reason why he didn't want to involve Qiongniang's mother and son in the first place. is afraid that one day, his identity will be exposed, and he will be hunted down by the government and the Loyalty League, not only will he no longer be able to protect their mother and son, but they will also be implicated by him.

Two years ago, Ji Ruchen did a business in Luzhou and killed a Jianghu Langzhong who betrayed the hermit to the government.

At that time, the flood had just passed, and many of the displaced people were infected with the epidemic. That Lang Zhong took the opportunity of practicing medicine to explore the secrets of other people, and once he found a white-haired child or a black-haired old man, he went to the government to report it in exchange for a reward.

After killing Lang Zhong, who specialized in informing, Ji Ruchen wanted to rush back to Lingshi County as soon as possible, so he walked at night. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter Qiongniang's mother and son being chased and killed by the people of the Loyalty and Righteousness League, so he rescued their mother and son.

Later, in order to cover his identity, he had no choice but to let his mother and son live under the same roof with him.

At first, he tried to hide what he was doing from them. It's a pity that providence can't help it, and finally the careful Qiongniang discovered his secret, and insisted on getting involved. In desperation, he had two accomplices, and at the same time two more responsibilities.

Since it was a matter of time before his identity was revealed, Ji Ruchen began to plan to take Qiongniang's mother and son away.

On this day, he returned home from the yamen, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Qiongniang, have you packed up all your things?

Qiong Niang nodded, pointed to a backpack at the head of the bed and said, "There are some clothes and food inside, and some broken silver." ”

"Today the people who were in charge of the search outside the city have withdrawn, and we have climbed out of the western wall, and then we have gone up the mountain, and we must not take much with us. ”

"Are you sure you can't take the big road? I'm worried that Miss Qin's body is weak, and I don't know if I can climb down the cliff of the back mountain. ”

Ji Ruchen shook his head and said, "Gong Yan is meticulous, and he will definitely send someone to set up a card check on the official road, and our goal is too obvious to be confused." Once we do it, it will expose our escape route, and it will be unfortunate to be chased and killed by the people of the Loyal Alliance. Miss Qin's body has basically recovered, and I will take her with me when I go down the mountain, and you just need to take care of Ah Yang. ”

Ah Yang heard it on the side, and immediately said unconvinced: "I don't need to be taken care of by my mother, my skills are better than my mother now!"

Ji Ruchen laughed when he heard this, "Ah Yang's kung fu has indeed improved a lot! I will rely on you to protect your mother in the future!"

Hearing such a compliment, Ah Yang's little face did not show any smug look, on the contrary, there was a trace of worry in his big black eyes, "Dad, where are you going?

Ji Ruchen slowly squatted down, touched Ah Yang's head with his hand, and smiled gently: "Of course I will always protect you and your mother." It's just Ayan, the world is impermanent, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. If one day we really separate, you must protect your mother for me, okay?"

Ah Yang nodded solemnly and said, "I will protect my mother!"

Ji Ruchen stood up, touched Ah Yang's head again, and said with a smile: "Go and bring the dinner prepared by your mother, and when you are full, you will have the strength to protect your mother!"

Yang grinned, turned around and ran to the stove to serve food.

At this time, Qiong Niang suddenly stepped forward and hugged Ji Ruchen's tiger waist tightly with her arms.

"Qiongniang-" Ji Ruchen called her a little confused.

Qiong Niang pillowed her head on his chest, and there was a tremor in her voice: "Ruchen, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we won't be able to reach Chongyuan, and I'm even more afraid that we will be separated from you from now on!"

Ji Ruchen's arms were stretched forward stiffly, but after listening to Qiongniang's words, a touch of pity flashed in his eyes, and he slowly closed his arms together and hugged Qiongniang's slender and soft body.

"Qiongniang—"

"Don't say anything!" Qiong Niang interrupted him in a muffled voice, "I understand everything, you have never had me in your heart." I just want to hold you like this, even if it's just for a short time, okay?"

Ji Ruchen sighed softly, stroked Qiongniang's hair with his hand, and said softly: "I am a person who is destined to live on the tip of a knife for the rest of my life, so I don't dare to worry too much." Whether it's you, Ah Yang, or my sister Xiang'er, I can't give you a stable life, and I don't want you to put yourself in danger because of me. The only thing I can do is to send you to the abyss so that you will not be harmed in any way. Qiongniang, I'm sorry-"

Tears slipped quietly from Qiongniang's cheeks, and she just continued to hug the man she loved tightly, her heart full of sadness and confusion.

And Ji Ruchen just let her hold herself, slowly closed her eyes, and didn't dare to let her see the deep attachment and reluctance in her eyes......
