In Guanju Palace, when Sheng Xiyan woke up, it was almost lunchtime.

When he opened his eyes, all he could think of was Xuan Ling's bleeding hand, and he stood up in a hurry.

Hua Xia and Mei Xiang came over quickly.

"My Lady, you're awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sheng Xiyan looked around, grabbed Hua Xia and asked:

"Where's the Emperor? How's his hand?"

"The Emperor has asked the guards to escort you back. He has returned to the Yangxin Palace."

Sheng Xiyan went under the bed to put on her shoes. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and suddenly started crying.

She was anxious to go to the Yangxin Palace to see Xuan Ling, but he had just pushed her away.

He won't see her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiao Zhuozi went to the Yangxin Palace secretly earlier and heard that Wu Yuanpan had already bandaged the emperor's wound."

I coaxed her and helped her lie down again.

Sheng Xiyan turned around, buried her head in the quilt and cried silently.

She risked everything to help Qi Yan, but ended up hurting Xuan Ling's heart and his hand.

He will never forgive her!

In a secret room outside Beijing, Qi Yan woke up from his coma and sat up in shock.

I looked around, but before I could stand up, a masked man came through the door.

His identity could not be determined from his clothes.

"General Qi, nice to meet you."

Qi Yan crossed his legs and propped them up on the table, saying lazily, "You rescued me, didn't you just want to say hello?"

The masked man smirked.

"General Qi is indeed a feared general at the border. Aren't you surprised at whose territory you're on?"

Qi Yan narrowed his eyes and said jokingly:

"Let me guess, the Canlang Nation? I was defeated by you in the Battle of Shatuo and survived for three years. How dare you show up again?"

He suddenly stood up and attacked the masked man.

In an instant, the two men started fighting in the small secret room, and the chairs and benches were kicked away.

This man's tactics are complicated. He must be from the Central Plains, a native of the country who was bribed by the Canlang Country.

The two of them stopped at the same time.

“General Qi, good skills, but I can get by in the capital, which is not bad.”

Qi Yan said: "Tell me, what is your purpose?"

The masked man bewitched him, saying, "General Qi, your wife and children have been taken away by the dog emperor, and you have been accused of treason.

As a man, shouldn't you kill the dog emperor and take back your wife and children?"

Qi Yan said solemnly, "Even if I don't pledge allegiance to him, I won't commit regicide."

The masked man poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Qi Yan didn't answer it, but he smelled a strong aroma of tea.

The masked man's evil smile was not forced.

“I understand what General Qi is thinking. You and the dog emperor have a youthful friendship, but what about your wife and children?

He took your wife for himself while you were fighting for your life at the border. If I didn't rescue you, do you think the dog emperor would let you go?

He will definitely kill you to eliminate future troubles, so that he can monopolize your woman forever."

In an instant, Qi Yan felt dizzy and his body had strange reactions.

"You poisoned it?"

I saw that the masked man was still holding the cup of tea.

"The poison is the aroma of tea?"

The masked man smirked and said, "That's right, General Qi. What you smelled just now wasn't the scent of tea, but the soul-stealing poison."

"Despicable!"

Qi Yan held onto the chair and sat down.

"General Qi, as long as you and I cooperate and kill the dog emperor, I will give you the antidote, rescue your wife and children, and escort you out of the capital.

Go to the Canlang Kingdom, and you will become a guest of honor to my king."

After a long while, Qi Yan said, "Let me think about it."

The masked man said firmly: "The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for you to enter the palace and kill the dog emperor!"

Qi Yan touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"Of course there is. General Qi, please wait and I will deliver it to you right away."

Qi Yan stood up and patted his shoulder.

"Since you want to cooperate with me, we are friends. Friends should treat each other with sincerity, instead of locking me up here. What do you think?"

The masked man said to Sifu, you have been poisoned anyway, and this place is extremely secluded and isolated from the world, you can't escape even if you want to.

He laughed and said, "General Qi is right. Please follow me downstairs to have dinner."

Qi Yan followed him downstairs and caught a glimpse of several servants carrying wooden boxes at the bottom of the stairs. There were some gaps in the boxes. What was inside?

Some dishes were placed on the table.

"General Qi, please."

Qi Yan picked up the wine pot and poured wine. The two of them clinked glasses and talked happily.

Until nightfall.

Qi Yan was drunk and was carried into the secret room.

After a long time, there was no movement downstairs. He quietly took out a dagger from his boot, reached into the crack of the door and opened the bolt.

He walked around the guards, walked down the stairs quietly, and entered the room where the goods were stored.

Are there candles in the wooden box?

It is not difficult to guess that the spy disguised himself as a businessman to hide his tracks in the capital.

But Qi Yan has been thinking about a very important question: how do the spies of Canlang Country communicate with each other?

The candles used?

I looked at the candles, which were just ordinary candles. When I had no idea what to do, I reached out and grabbed a candle from the bottom.

I was surprised to find that this candle had no wick, and when I broke it, it was hollow inside?

It turns out that information was transmitted by placing it in candles.

He quietly returned to the secret room.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden movement on the roof. After a while, a tile was removed, revealing a face.

Qi Yan stood up hurriedly.

"Tie Wa, listen to me...

Remember that?

"I've got it, uncle. I'm leaving now."

Tiewa covered the roof with tiles and disappeared from the roof by climbing over the eaves and walls.

Fortunately, his uncle taught him the tracking technique. When the fog came the day before yesterday, Qi Yan pierced his pocket immediately and was taken away all the way. The tracking soil spilled from his pocket allowed Tiewa to track him all the way here.
