Chen left the room and went down the stairs to the lobby. Constable Chen, two royal censors and Yang Yan sat at the table and drank tea in silence.

On the table are pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

In his early 40s, Dali Shicheng, who was still young and powerful in officialdom, sat down at the table in silence, raised his pen, and wrote on rice paper:

"not a warlock!"

There is also a line on the rice paper written by Constable Chen: there is something hidden in the right hand.

Then, two censors came into the room to talk with the female spy. After they came out, one wrote "I didn't ask about the case", and the other wrote "I am very concerned about Xu Yinluo".

Yang Yan kneaded the rice paper into a ball. With a little effort, the ball turned into rice flour.

He casually threw, expressionless upstairs, came to the door of the room, did not knock, directly pushed in.

"The princess is missing. You watchmen are mainly responsible." The female spy said in a deep voice.

Yang Yan sat at the table, his facial features were like stone carvings, lacking vivid changes. To the accusation of female spies, he replied coldly:

"something to say."

"Good!" The female spy nodded and said slowly, "I'll talk to you directly. Where is the princess?"

"What's in your right hand?" Yang Yan does not answer the rhetorical question, the vision falls in the female spy's right shoulder.

"It's really a golden gong. I can see through my tricks at a glance." The female spy raised her hand hidden under the table, spread out her palm, and a small octagonal copper plate lay quietly.

"The magic weapon of the sky warden can distinguish lies from truth." She pushed the octagonal plate aside. Light way: "however, this is invalid to you of four grade peak.". If you want to tell if you're lying, you need six warlocks. "

Yang Yan didn't look at the octagonal copper plate and answered her question: "I don't know where the princess is."

The second question of the female spy follows: "where is Xu Qi'an? Did he really get hurt and go back to the capital? "

Yang Yan asked a question

... in the cloak, under the mask, the deep eyes stared at him for a moment and said slowly: "you ask."

"Why would the barbarians target the princess?" Yang Yan's problem points to the core.

The female spy did not answer.

Yang Yan nodded, "let me change the question. Chu Xianglong insisted on taking the waterway that day because he was waiting to meet you?"

"Well."

The female spy gave a positive reply and asked, "where is Xu Qi'an?"

Yang Yan shook his head: "I don't know. Why didn't the spy return to the capital, escort him secretly, and meet him at the border of Chuzhou? "

I don't know... That is to say, Xu Qian didn't return to Beijing seriously injured. The female spy said in a deep voice: "we have our enemies. Does Wei Gong know about the princess's journey to the north? "

Can't separate hands..... Yang Yan's eyes flashed slightly and said: "I know."

...

the female spy left the post station, did not follow Li Shenjiang out of the city, and went to wanzhousuo (local military camp) alone. She had a rest in a tent. At night, she opened her eyes and saw someone lifting the tent.

The visitors were also wrapped in black robes, wearing a mask with only chin exposed, with a light blue stubble around their mouth, and their voice was hoarse and low:

"I just came back from Jiangzhou City, and found two places, one where there was a fierce battle, the other where there was no obvious battle trace, but there was spider silk left by the golden wood feather spider..... What about you?"

The female spy responded with the same low voice:

"consistent with the information I got from the envoys, the northern demons and barbarians sent out four four products, namely the snake demon Hongling, the Jiaobu tangshanjun, and the Heishui Bu zalmuha, but there was no Jinmu Bu leader Sirius.

"Chu Xianglong, taking advantage of the entanglement of Xu Qian and Yang Yan, asks the bodyguard to leave with the princess and the maid. In addition, the people of the mission don't know the special characteristics of the princess, and Yang Yan doesn't know the whereabouts of the princess. "

The man's spy said, "well, it seems that the Sirius has been waiting for the hare. Chu Xianglong is more or less unlucky. As for the princess..."

the atmosphere in the tent is dignified.

"Wait, you just said that Chu Xianglong asked the bodyguard to run away with the maid and the princess?" The man spy asked suddenly.

"To be exact, he fled with the princess and the bodyguard with the maid." Said the woman spy.

"Oh, he is not a soft hearted man." The man's spy sneered, then said:

"it's obvious that the princess he took is fake, and the real princess is mixed with the maid. It's both smart and stupid. The smart thing is that he confused his vision. The stupid thing is that he did this. How can he hide it from Sirius.

"At the critical moment, they still run for their lives with their maidservants. This is to tell them that the real princess is in the maidservant. Well, he had great distrust of the mission, or, in Chu Xianglong's view, the mission must have been completely destroyed at that time. "

The female spy nodded and said, "it's Xu Qi'an who stops Tang Shanjun and zalmuha, and his real accomplishments are probably six grades...."She told Xu Qi'an about his recent deeds and said: "according to the Chief Constable of the Ministry of punishment, Xu Qi'an's ability to defeat the outstanding disciples of the two sects of heaven and man depends on the Confucian magic books. Chu Xianglong probably didn't expect that he was still in stock. "

The husky man spy said: "more than that, foreign things are always exhausted, and the Wufu of Sipin is too hard to kill. In the end, Xu Qian is still out of ammunition and food, so Chu Xianglong chooses to abandon them."

"Reasonable."

The female spy sighed and worried: "what should we do now? I'm afraid that the princess will fall into the hands of the northern barbarians

The man's spy chuckled: "it's not so bad. If we send out four leaders and let them jointly ambush the princess, the barbarians must know the peculiarity of the princess.

"So, who wants the princess most?"

The female spy suddenly said: "the leader of the green face department."

The man's head in his hood moved, as if nodding, and said, "so, they will take the princess back to the North First, or share Lingyun equally, or be promised great benefits. In a word, the princess is safe before the leader of Qingyan department takes part."

The female spy agreed with him and said tentatively, "now, we have to inform his Royal Highness the king of Huai to blockade the northern border, search for the four Tang Shanjun and take back the princess in Jiangzhou and Chuzhou?"

The man didn't nod, didn't object, and said, "is there anything else to add?"

"Yes! Xu Qi'an, the organizer, did not leave Beijing. Instead, he secretly went north. As for where he went, Yang Yan claimed that he did not know, but I think they must have special contact information. "

"How can I see it?" The man asked.

"Xu Qi an was ordered to investigate blood slaughtering three thousand li case. He was afraid of offending his royal highness, and even more afraid of being watched. Therefore, it is the right choice to spy on the mission as a cover. It's normal for a genius to deal with cases like this, or it's unreasonable. "

The female spy continued: "moreover, the internal relations of the mission are not good. The officers of the third division and the watchmen hate each other. In fact, the mission is of little use to him. On the contrary, he may be restrained by the officers of the third division."

The man felt through the pale blue chin, fingertips touched the hard short beard, pondered: "don't look down on these civil servants, maybe they are acting."

"But if you know that Xu Qi'an once stopped the civil and military officials outside the Meridian Gate and wrote poems to ridicule them, you wouldn't think so." Said the woman spy.

After a pause, she added: "does Wei Yuan know about the barbarians when the princess goes north? Is it related to him?"

The man sneered: "don't ask me, we can't guess Wei Qingyi's mind. But we can't help but, um, spread out the portraits of Xu Qi'an. Once they are found, they should be closely monitored. Mission side, focus on monitoring Yang Yan's action. As for the civil servants of the third division, let's see. "

......

the next morning, the princess in Xu Qi'an's robe woke up from the cave and saw Xu Qi'an squatting at the cave entrance, holding a copper basin which was made out of nowhere.

The princess was still angry in her heart. She held her knee to see his nerves. It was a quarter of an hour.

Then, the man turned his back and kneaded his face quietly. After a long time, he turned around.

"Ah

The princess screamed, and the frightened rabbit curled back. She pointed to him and said in a trembling voice, "you... Xu Erlang?"

What the hell?

This man she has met is Xu Erlang, the cousin of Xu Qian, but how can Xu Erlang appear here?

"Make a fuss..." Xu Qi'an snorted: "this is my unique skill of changing face. No matter how high the cultivation is, I can't see my face changing."

As he spoke, he poured out the liquid medicine in the copper basin.

"Why did you become your cousin?" Looking at the familiar princess's voice, I heard his suspicious voice.

This woman really doesn't have any brains. Maybe she's used to brag in huaiwang mansion alone. No one has a house fight with her, just like her aunt..... Xu Qi'an has no good way:

"are you stupid? Can I go to the city with Xu Qi'an's face? This is the most basic anti reconnaissance consciousness. "

Against what? The princess didn't understand. She said, "I'm hungry."

"When the porridge is ready, there is a pheasant just beaten outside. Go to repair it, clean it, and bake it." Xu Qi'an said.

"Oh The princess went out obediently.

Xu an learned the whole process of baking the game, of course. The princess is also used to being bullied by him. After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Of course, the princess is also a bad woman. She never confronts Xu Qian head-on and often retaliates in private.

For example, when he takes a bath, he hides his clothes to make him incompetent and furious in the water.

Another example is to spread the bird droppings on the leaves to the prey, and then bake them for him to eat.Recently, she was thinking about spitting on her roasted prey.

Every time the price is forced to listen to his ghost story at night, afraid to sleep at night, scared almost cry out. Or a day without food and a long journey.

When you fall asleep at night, saliva comes from your mouth.

For a long time, when the chicken was baked, the princess who spat for a long time gave a sinister smile, put the baked chicken aside, turned back and yelled to the cave:

"the chicken is baked, I'll have porridge."

Xu Qi'an eats meat and the princess drinks porridge. This is the tacit understanding recently cultivated by the two. To be exact, it is the sequela of mutual injury.

Xu Qi'an is very angry, so he is not happy to let her eat meat, and the princess is not happy that he does not let himself eat meat, so he tries his best to revenge.

Vicious circle.

With Xu Erlang's face on his head, Xu Dalang came out of the cave, sat by the campfire and said, "we can reach Sanhuang County before dusk today."

The princess's face brightened, which meant that the hard journey was finally over.

Xu Qi'an looked at her and said faintly, "this chicken is for you."

The princess's face was suddenly dull.

"Why don't you want to eat? Or are you putting bird droppings on the chicken again Xu Qi'an squinted and asked.

"You, you don't use the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman." The princess grabbed the chicken and came up to him. She said, "look for yourself, where is the bird droppings."

"Then you eat." Xu Qi'an nodded.

The princess opened her mouth and said weakly, "I, I have no appetite. I don't want to eat meat."

"Then eat quickly, don't waste food, or I will be angry." Xu Qian said with a smile.

"..." her plain face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.

At this time, Xu Qi'an heart palpitation, after many days, the book chat group finally someone handed the book.

He picked up the porridge, got up and went back to the cave. As he walked, he said, "eat it quickly. If you don't, I'll leave you here to feed the insects."

The princess made faces at his back.

Xu Qi'an sat down with his back against the cliff, his eyes fixed on the fragments of the book, and took a sip of porridge. The jade mirror revealed a line of small words:

[2: Taoist priest Jinlian, please shield you for me. 】

after a few breath, Li Miaozhen's message came again: "Xu Qi'an, have you been to the north. 】

Xu Qi'an puts down his bowl, uses his pen as a proxy, and enters the information: "you can arrive in Beijing today. Do you have any information. 】

....
