Chapter 233 Where did this rat come from?!
Qi Yan turned around with some surprise, only to find that it was Ling Ruofeng's daughter who had chased after him.
The guards stepped forward and blocked her three steps away from Qi Yan.
Ling Xuerou bowed gracefully to Qi Yanying, her behavior completely unlike that of a five-year-old child.
She looked at Qi Yan with a confident expression.
"Doesn't Lord Qi want to know where your brother is?"
Qi Yan's eyes darkened as he looked at her coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
"Has Lord Qi considered that your brother might have gone into hiding to avoid being caught by Ding Yan?"
Ling Xuerou said to herself.
Qi Yan naturally guessed that his elder brother was hiding, but even after taking over Suzhou for several days, his elder brother still hadn't come out.
He was worried that something had happened to his older brother and that he wouldn't be able to show up.
But how does this little girl know that his older brother is in Suzhou?
"What you're saying is completely meaningless."
Qi Yan turned to leave, but Ling Xuerou spoke again.
"Lord Qi, you might as well investigate where Xu Zhenbang and Ding Yan went that day."
And where did the assassin he captured go? Maybe he'll find his way back.
"Xu Zhenbang?"
How come this old man has a place in this?
"Given Shadow's strength, do you think the small group Ding Yan brought could withstand Shadow's assassins?"
It was Xu Zhenbang and Yun Zhao, along with a tiger, who subdued all the Shadow assassins.
"tiger?"
Qi Yan was stunned.
Why is there something about tigers?
"It is said that Yunxuan's daughter rescued a tiger on the road, and that tiger has been following her ever since."
That's how the Yuan family in An County was eliminated. Although your brother wasn't caught,
But with Yun Xuan around, a few assassins would be enough for him to figure out who was behind the shadow.
I think this is what Lord Qi should be most worried about right now.”
The Fifth Prince still wields considerable power, while the Qi family remains opportunistic, swaying whichever way the wind blows.
If the emperor were to find out that the Qi family controlled a gang of assassins and attempted to assassinate the emperor's cabinet ministers...
Even with the young prince present, given the emperor's suspicious nature...
The Qi family will definitely lose the emperor's trust.
As expected, Qi Yan's eyes darkened.
This is why Qi Yan was so unhappy when he heard that Ling Ruofeng wanted to kill Ding Yan, and even that the assassin had been captured by Ding Yan.
What are your thoughts?
Qi Yan looked down at the little brat in front of him.
Although she was just a child, she seemed more clever than her father in her speech and behavior.
"Your brother only needs to find out where they went and search in the opposite direction."
As for Yunxuan, all they're relying on right now is Xu Zhenbang and Yun Zhao, that tiger.
In Lingnan, there is a city called Fengyun City. The Hu family, the city lords, employ several beast tamers who can control beasts.
Without that tiger, relying solely on Xu Zhenbang...
How can we save that entire family of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled? At that point, wouldn't they be completely at the mercy of the Qi family?
Qi Yan frowned and said coldly, "How do you know about the events in Fengyun City?"
She was clearly a princess in the capital, while Fengyun City was far away in Lingnan, completely unrelated.
Moreover, according to her statement, she clearly knew that the Hu family was backed by the Governor-General of Jiangnan and was a member of the Qi family.
Ling Xuerou smiled mysteriously, her expression carrying a hint of arrogance.
"You should have heard that the Fifth Prince received the news."
"Marquis Ningqian is about to cause a major incident; he's looking for someone to take over military power in the Northwest."
Qi Yan was certainly aware of this matter.
Marquis Ningqian was a man of the emperor, and his family had even considered whether to help the emperor protect Marquis Ningqian.
Later, they realized that Marquis Ningqian was not on good terms with them, and the Qi family did not have a suitable person to take over.
Only then did they decide to let it develop as it was.
How did Ling Xuerou find out?
"This is what I told the Fifth Prince: I can have precognitive dreams."
At that moment, Qi Yan thought he was hallucinating.
What nonsense is she spouting?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you how the Qi family plans to choose in the future."
Ling Xuerou calmly returned to the courtyard with her hands behind her back.
"My lord, what should we do?"
The guard asked in a low voice.
Everyone found what she said unbelievable.
But even Ling Ruofeng didn't know what she was saying.
"Investigate as she instructed first. Also, the Governor-General of Jiangnan has been arrested, and what about Fengyun City?"
Send someone else to make contact and find out exactly what's going on with Yun Zhao's tiger!
Whether it's true or false, you have to check to find out.
Suzhou was under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Jiangnan, and could be considered part of the Qi family's territory.
With a precise direction, the information from that time was quickly found.
Qi Yan immediately led his men to search in the opposite direction.
Sure enough, they found Qi Qin injured and unconscious in a cellar!
"Big brother!"
Qi Qin's companions were all gone, leaving him alone in the cellar.
Not knowing what had happened, Qi Yan could only take his elder brother back to the government office.
Pei Jishi has left Sucheng, which is currently facing a shortage of medical care and medicine.
Qi Yan could only send someone by fast horse to Yuezhou to fetch a doctor and buy medicine.
Ling Xuerou stood outside the door, looking at the unconscious Qi Qin, and couldn't help but frown.
In their previous life, the Qi brothers died at the hands of Wei Junyan.
He was killed by Wei Junyan when he personally avenged the Yun family after Wei Junyan stormed the capital.
Before this, the Qi family had enjoyed a long period of glory.
How did Qi Qin end up in such a sorry state?
Can arranging a marriage for himself and forcing Yun Zhao to leave really bring about such a huge change?
She just couldn't understand it.
late at night.
A rustling sound came from Ling Xuerou's room, which startled her awake.
"What is it?"
Looking towards the direction of the sound, one could see several pairs of scarlet lights flickering in the corner.
She immediately jumped out of bed and ran outside without even putting on her shoes.
"Chirp!"
The sound of mice squeaking filled her with alarm. Could it be the plague?
He immediately rushed out of the room, shouting as he ran towards Lin Shujing's room.
"Mother, open the door quickly!"
Ling Ruofeng and Lin Shujing were awakened and opened the door to see their daughter rushing into the room in a panic.
"Mother, a rat is biting people!"
"What?!"
Lin Shujing and her husband were taken aback.
Looking towards my daughter's room, I saw several huge rats lying there.
Under the moonlight, the rat's scarlet eyes gleamed, as if it were thirsting for blood.
Ling Ruofeng picked up a stool and tried to smash it.
Who would have thought that as soon as he stepped out of the room, the rats squeaked and rushed into Qi Qin's room!
The noise woke up the others. Qi Yan, who already had trouble sleeping, left the house in a grumpy mood.
"What happened?"
"A mouse! A mouse went inside!"
"What?!"
Qi Yan's drowsiness was instantly dispelled. He opened the door and saw several mice crawling on his older brother's bed!
He grabbed his shoes and slammed them onto the bed.
The mice scattered in all directions.
"Quickly! Get a doctor!"
After a major disaster and then a plague, Suzhou had very few doctors left.
When the Qi family guards hurriedly brought the doctor over, Qi Qin already had a high fever.
"Plague! It must be the plague!"
Ling Xuerou suddenly screamed and quickly covered her mouth and nose, backing away.
Pei Jishi is not in Suzhou now. If it really is the plague, they are doomed!
The doctor arrived at the door, heard Ling Xuerou scream, and turned to leave.
"I don't have that ability, you should find someone else!"
