Chapter 110 is very annoying (two in one, I have a schedule tomorrow, so I won’t update)…
——————————
The other party really had an outstanding and recognizable face. Although he was wearing a simple armored suit, which was different from his usual attire, with a scabbard hanging from his belt and a simple black mask hanging on it, his temperament changed drastically with such attire. It was also known that the other party was not a delicate and gentle musician at all, but a warrior who could fight and kill.
She might even be the real murderer of Luo Xuan.
Most people really can't associate them with each other.
But the other person happened to be not wearing a mask, so she could see his appearance clearly, and he knew that she could recognize him.
"It's me, Your Highness. I'm glad you recognized me."
The man spoke softly, without loosening his fingers, and even rubbed them lightly back and forth. This kind of intimacy was an intentional offense, as if it was just as he said - he had never had the opportunity before, pretending to be a fake identity, and was afraid of the many masters around her. Now he has finally caught her and can easily control her.
"You're welcome. Miss Fuling isn't hard to recognize. It's just my luck. If I had woken up while you were still wearing the mask and seen you, I wouldn't have been able to recognize you."
"It's not that I caught up with him. I felt that His Highness was about to wake up, so I took off my mask."
It was a provocation, but also like getting what he wanted.
“.....”
In Fuling's opinion, Yan Siqing's reaction was very small. She just raised her eyelids slightly, with a subtle expression and clear eyes.
It is like the plum rain and autumn wind in spring and autumn, which are both lingering and warm, but also have a bit of a chilly and haggard charm.
However, he did not have the strong hatred and fear towards the enemy after falling into danger.
The strong have always been like this, steady and calm, planning with moderation.
It makes people lose the confidence of winning the game, even Fuling is very clear -
"That's terrible. I think I'm more nervous than you are, Your Highness."
Yan Siqing hadn't responded to this man's unusual expression. Upon hearing this, she pursed her lips again and said softly, "Are you afraid I have a backup plan? Or are you afraid this is a self-torture trick to lure you out?"
Fu Ling: "You have this doubt, but I also feel that with your character, even if you foresaw our presence in advance and knew the danger, and were even willing to take the risk as bait, you would never implicate others."
"Those people were also harmed, which makes me think you wouldn't choose this approach—after all, you are fully capable of making other arrangements."
"So our unexpected design was truly beyond your expectations and was successful ahead of time."
Yan Siqing was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "I'm indeed more suspicious of the Ancient Bronze Village and the smelting plant. I think you'll leave clues and ambush points there. After all, enclosed places are suitable for setting traps and hiding people and horses, underwater carriages, and glass bottles in zither cases. It's beyond my imagination."
"It's too unconventional. I can't handle this kind of unexpected ingenuity."
Fu Ling: "It's as if you couldn't resist Jiang Hui's entanglement."
Yan Siqing was silent for a moment and looked at her quietly.
Fu Ling met her clear gaze and felt inexplicably embarrassed. He moved his fingers that were affectionately stroking her chin away, but let Yan Siqing see it.
"Excuse me, but you've got a little stain stuck to you."
It wasn't intentional, but I did take the opportunity to offend her while wiping the stain.
Yan Siqing's eyes dimmed slightly, and her body was so weak that she could hardly even adjust her sitting position. She could only move slightly while observing - the fishy smell she smelled in her drowsiness was gone at this time.
And it's not a bad environment.
Surprisingly...it was a clean little house with tables, chairs, refreshments, and even the blankets were of high-quality and valuable items.
Even...her preferences are in the details.
Women understand women’s private details better, and can notice and write them down, but whether to arrange them or not is another kind of thought and sincerity.
She was speechless for a moment, then looked at Fu Ling with a strange look in her eyes.
"Did you arrange this? Thank you very much."
She also thanked me.
Fu Ling was speechless, stepped back, and wiped the dirt off his fingers with a handkerchief. He said a little coldly, but also politely: "I am just a subordinate, doing what I am told. You are a valuable person. If it weren't for our conflicting situations, we each have our own standpoints and deserve respect. Naturally, I wouldn't treat you badly over such a trivial matter."
Although she was the one who arranged the places where people were detained.
Yan Siqing heard the footsteps outside and looked up, "Then I'll thank you together."
"Your Majesty."
The King of England pushed open the small door, the curtain fluttered, and the rotten fishy smell outside rushed in. Yan Siqing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he only saw the swaying candlelight on the wall of the corridor outside. He looked at the King of England Lechen standing at the door, and saw a man in a black robe standing behind this man.
Mask, black robe, armed.
A bit like Fuling, the two may be in the same warrior system, acting as the most terrifying weapons under Lechen, and many things are also carried out by people of their kind.
For example, killing people.
But this person obviously has a very high status.
Yan Siqing took a look and then returned his gaze to Chen.
Lechen was also looking at her, sizing her up and down, with a casual smile, but also cautious and shrewd.
“It’s not easy.”
He said.
The words are like your silence.
Lechen walked in and approached, "I'm quite satisfied with this place, so you're so polite, but what I admire is that no matter where you are, Madam, you are always calm and decent..."
When he got closer, he squatted down, kept a proper distance, and looked at her at eye level.
Yan Siqing: "If I panic, His Highness will also suspect that I am bluffing."
Liaochen smiled: "Indeed, it's just that Madam has always been too difficult to deal with. This time we are just taking a shortcut and taking a risk."
"You've always been so tolerant and considerate of women, and you've always been so kind to Fuling that you're not on guard. If I suddenly placed her zither case in the carriage, it would disrupt your thinking and grab your attention."
"It's possible to succeed."
“I didn’t expect it to be successful.”
This is a cunning idea that takes advantage of her habits.
Fuling was standing aside, right behind the man in black robe. Upon hearing this, he glanced sideways at Yan Siqing.
Perhaps everything had been planned since the Liao family's pastries.
Being able to understand her so well is not just Liaochen's personal achievement.
After all, Fuling was able to get close to her several times, enter her boudoir, and know her preferences.
Yan Siqing didn't feel angry after being taken advantage of, nor did he feel any regret. He just said, "That's good too. At least it means I'm not so pathetic as to be suspicious and cold to everyone around me. I'm still a normal mortal."
She said she wasn't good at dealing with heresy and unexpected things.
In fact, she was also a very unusual surprise to others.
His words and actions are different from others.
Liaochen was speechless for a moment.
"Isn't it good to be a ruthless and invulnerable saint?"
He seemed to think that Yan Siqing was letting herself fall, and was even a little dissatisfied with her downfall because of Fuling.
Weird.
Yan Siqing: "Actually, I've never understood you people, or what you're asking for. In principle, there's no such thing as a naturally ruthless and invulnerable saint. Unless someone pursues extreme self-interest, becoming gradually ruthless in the process, they become that kind of person. But the higher you climb, the closer you get to success, and even if you finally succeed, why would you think those self-interests can still bring you enough happiness and satisfaction?"
"Putting the cart before the horse, being alone and without support."
Liaochen narrowed his eyes, "You are not that person, how can you make such a statement?"
Yan Siqing: "Then what do you want? Or rather, which supreme power are you pursuing that your parents should have left you?"
She asked back.
Liaochen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck.
Fuling's eyebrows trembled, and she took a step forward, but the man in black robe raised his hand to signal her, and she paused.
Quiet.
Yan Siqing did not struggle, because Lechen only attacked suddenly, but quickly released his grip.
"Madam, you are indeed cunning. You don't want to be my hostage or be forced to reveal secrets by me, so you would rather trick me into killing you and put an end to it once and for all."
Yan Siqing: "No, I just didn't expect you to care so much. So, what you pushed for in the Liao family, is it really about me taking your place?"
Lechen: “…”
The verbal dispute ended in complete failure.
He didn't put his hand down, but smiled kindly and elegantly, with the composure of a sage. "Power should simply return to its original noble bloodline."
"But I have indeed wondered... whether you and I have a connection in our past lives."
"But I also know very well that you are not, and she only has one child in the end."
Yan Siqing was startled and lowered her eyes. She knew that the person was referring to Queen Xie.
Yan Siqing: "That insect is raised together with the golden phosphorus insect. The art of raising Gu has been yours since the White Horse Temple. Maybe the night Zhan Tianli was captured in the hot spring villa and Fuling appeared there was all your plan."
"Now it seems that she is over there, but she didn't kill Zhan Tianli. Everything is still according to your plan."
From the time Zhan Tianli was arrested until now...Liaochen has not let the chessboard escape his control.
However, her doubt was rejected by Lechen.
He seemed to be lost in thought. "Madam, you haven't underestimated the impact each time you break through. You got away with the Liao family incident again. I originally thought that I could get Emperor Heng to capture you and make Prince Yan and his son turn against him, so that I could benefit."
Yan Siqing: "Didn't you suspect that I knew Empress Xie's secrets and the whereabouts of the Jade Seal? Now you're plotting to have me fall into Emperor Heng's hands. Aren't you afraid that I might reveal it and ruin your plan?"
Lechen said, "I do have this concern. You're a man whose truths and falsehoods are difficult to grasp. But regardless of whether you hand over the seal or not, as long as I'm the son of Emperor Heng, the future crown prince, the future emperor, it doesn't matter where the seal is, whether you hand it over or not, or whether Emperor Heng succeeds in obtaining it, right?"
Yes, the Jade Seal is Emperor Heng’s goal, but it is not the only goal of others - there is no goal in the world more important than the supreme position.
Yan Siqing thought for a moment, then looked at Fuling and the other two, "Then, these two are the backbones of the previous dynasty that Empress Xie left for Your Highness."
"What a big move! Just to plot against me, are they really going all out?"
Lechen did not deny it. Fuling was not really one of them because he was young and should have been trained later, but the man in black robe was definitely one of them.
"Thanks to you."
"Emperor Heng let you go at the Liao family, which means he no longer suspects you are the child of Emperor Ye's Empress Xie. He will only suspect me next. He hasn't investigated thoroughly, but he half-believes that I am valuable and wants to use me to contain Prince Yan."
Lechen sighed and admitted that his situation was not immediate. His move against Yan Siqing was not part of his earlier clever plan, but a step-by-step response to the changes in the chess game.
"In fact, Madam has also been trying to survive step by step. I am no more noble than you."
The words seem to be silent.
Lechen: "Let me ask you this: Madam, are you willing to join forces with me? You and I are meant to be one family. My mother is Empress Xie, and the Yan family is loyal to us. With such a bond of affection and fate, our fates should be one. Can't you and the jade seal...both be on my side?"
He withdrew the fingers that were pinching her neck, moved them upwards, and stroked her cheek.
Yan Siqing frowned and moved her body to avoid his fingers.
Yan Siqing had rarely been physically bullied in his life. Most of the seemingly dangerous situations, when forced to the point of danger, were either resolved in the end or as dangerous as the time with Emperor Heng.
Fuling is a woman and very interesting, so she can tolerate it, but Lechen cannot.
Yan Siqing felt uncomfortable, so she avoided him, but... Lechen seemed to be angered, and suddenly approached and pulled her back, pressing her cheek against his. His collar was tilted due to being pulled, revealing his snow-white figure underneath.
The smell is like the mood of burning incense and brewing tea in Tingyu Tower, lingering and inviting.
Lechen even forgot that Fuling and the others were here, and he didn't notice that Fuling and the others had changed their pace...
Abrupt, sudden, and on the verge of breaking out.
"Your Highness, do you feel that you are more like the bloodline of Emperor Heng, and have inherited some of his shameful and immoral deeds?"
Killing someone and destroying their heart.
Lechen, who had lost his composure and brain, suddenly woke up, stopped moving, adjusted his breathing, and laughed softly on Yan Siqing's shoulder.
"Just say it's not appropriate to put me in a Buddhist temple."
"I'm just a vulgar man, how can I be pure and free from desires?"
"However, I truly do not wish to be like Emperor Heng, who, upon ascending to power, acted recklessly, discarded his integrity, showed no respect for his political opponents, and forced his hand on my mother."
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
He pulled away, letting go, and pulled her collar back in place.
But he didn't want to look her in the eye again.
Embarrassing.
He knew that he had always failed miserably in front of this woman and had never won.
It was really weird. She was clearly in his hands, so why was she still so nervous?
"But I arrested you not only to threaten Jiang Hui."
"Madam can choose."
Yan Siqing raised his eyebrows.
Liaochen: "Tell me the location of the jade seal, otherwise I will use you to threaten Jiang Hui to rebel and declare war on Emperor Heng."
Once the war breaks out, it will be a capital crime, regardless of whether Emperor Heng knows that Jiang Hui was forced to do so.
Yan Siqing: "Even with such a big fuss, you can't get away with it. Emperor Heng is not a fool."
"Unless, you collude with foreign enemies."
Lechen smiled: "If this world cannot belong to me, what does it matter if I give it to others?"
Yan Siqing was stunned and looked at him for a long time.
Liaochen's face turned cold. "Why, do you think I'm not as patriotic and brave as your second husband? Don't you think that if Emperor Heng wanted to kill him and abolish his royal status, wouldn't he turn to the enemy and fight back to protect himself? Human nature can withstand temptation because everyone knows that temptation is only hypothetical. But when the enemy is really at the gate, there are countless people who will jump over the wall in desperation."
He had been in the Buddhist land for many years, listening to the filth and dirt in the hearts of thousands of people, and had long been extremely disappointed with human nature.
But he himself is not free from human nature.
Seeing Yan Siqing didn't respond, he mentioned again: "Your true love, Mr. Hai, can he satisfy your needs for a man of virtue?"
"Which of the three men do you like best?"
baffling.
What's there to ask?
Yan Siqing looked at him with a slightly strange expression, a little puzzled, "Speed is of the essence in war. Are you sure you want to waste your time on such a boring question?"
Lechen: "According to what your second husband said, I am just a monk, not a eunuch."
The tone was cold and full of resentment.
Yan Siqing: “…”
She seemed to have returned to Tingyu Tower, and suddenly heard the enlightened monk in front of her talking about the mundane matters of men and women. She was really shocked at that time.
Now, the person in front of him seemed to have downplayed his identity as the so-called real or fake prince, the ambitious power-seeker, and turned into that vulgar young monk again.
She was waiting for the political game to start, but he started talking about men and women.
"You and I are in a critical situation right now. Failure means death. I can't go to the end with an unsolved problem."
"Madam, could you please be generous and kind, just as you are to others, and comfort me and give me an answer?"
Lechen was particularly concerned about this and insisted on getting a result.
Yan Siqing: "Others wouldn't be as presumptuous and disrespectful as you."
Liaochen was silent, then suddenly turned around and asked Fuling, "Then why don't you ask? Aren't you curious?"
Fuling: “…”
Yan Siqing: "Don't embarrass her. I'll just answer that I only like the best-looking ones with the best figures who are still young. However, they have to have lots of hair and can't be bald."
Lechen: “…”
He looked at Fuling, then at Yan Siqing.
Yan Siqing: "Why, can't I be as worldly as you guys?"
She was calm and composed, without any embarrassment of being a prisoner.
Lechen stood up and said, "People outside must be extremely worried about your disappearance, fearing that I, the person behind the scenes, would hurt you. But they would never have thought that—Madam, you have hurt me deeply."
He touched his head and sighed, but suddenly pulled out Fuling's sword, and the blade suddenly... pressed against her neck.
The words seem to be unmoved by you.
But Fuling moved, and the next second, the knife was against Fuling's neck who had just moved.
Liaochen smiled calmly: "Remember who is your master."
"Three times. Three times you tried to stop me for her."
Fuling's expression changed, he knelt down, closed his eyes, and gave no explanation.
Lechen sneered: "It's just that people in this world are stupid and cowardly, too easily moved. If you treat her well, she will care about you."
Fuling: "You ordered us to be placed here, saying that we must not treat your wife harshly, Your Highness."
Lechen: “….”
The room was very quiet.
The black-robed man said hoarsely, "Your Highness, time is running out. Jiang Hui is a general, and his march and search are extraordinary. It's only a matter of time before he finds us."
Liaochen sighed, put down his knife, and turned to ask Yan Siqing, "So, Madam, you can forgive even a traitor like Fuling. How will you treat those loyal disciples of the Dali Temple who risked their lives to come here for you, only to suffer because of you?"
"Who do you want this knife to fall on? Can it make you say that the jade seal exists? Don't tell me that it is not in your hands. If it is not in your hands, then they will die."
"I have no way out, ma'am, and neither do you."
Now that the cards are out, Lechen no longer plans to be as polite as before. After all, he has already seen that Yan Siqing is unwilling to choose his side.
He was being polite to her, but that didn't mean he cared about other people's life or death.
If he couldn't capture Prince Yan, he would have to take the imperial seal, start a new campaign, and declare war on the Jiang Dynasty.
"Of course, ma'am, if you tell me, I'll release everyone once I get it."
Yan Siqing was silent, then said, "Including me?"
Lechen smiled: "I said, you and the jade seal should belong to me."
"No need to negotiate, you can only choose one of the two now."
"Those bugs before were just hypnotic, but the golden phosphorus bugs can kill people. They can kill people faster than using a knife."
"There are many people, ma'am, more than just one or two."
He was still kind and gentle, as if he was treating her with gentleness and courtesy, but Yan Siqing could see that he had reached the final moment. After a series of previous conspiracies failed and he was unable to take down King Yan, he was also at a stage where he had to make a choice between two options.
Either retreat bravely and protect yourself, or take the last step.
He also saw that she really didn't like to implicate others, especially many people.
Arresting a group of people around her is much more effective than arresting her alone.
Yan Siqing remained silent for a while. After a while, Lechen lost his patience and walked towards the door with a knife in hand. Yan Siqing suddenly asked, "How much do you know about Qing Huang?"
What?
Lechen looked back.
Yan Siqing fixed her eyes on him. "Back then, you were still young, making it difficult to entrust anyone with anything. Empress Xie also gave up entrusting the secrets to those so-called confidants, because once they got hold of the secret, it was hard to say whether they would become disloyal while the young master was still young. Instead, entrusting the Jade Seal to Prince Qinghuang separately was the best option, and it was also a mature strategy. I guess you figured it out later, which is why you've always been suspicious of my Yan family."
Lechen: “Yes.”
Yan Siqing: "Queen Xie did indeed entrust my great-grandfather with the task. Because of the situation back then, my great-grandfather was indeed loyal and trustworthy, and worthy of trust."
"Later, this secret became known only to me."
Lechen: "Then the Qinghuang you mentioned..."
Yan Siqing: "What is left for Qinghuang is only with Qinghuang."
“.....”
Lechen left quickly, speed is of the essence in war.
Only Fuling was left to watch.
As soon as the door closed, Fuling looked at Yan Siqing, "I didn't expect you would really tell anyone."
“Is it worth it?”
It was a group of people, and many lives were lost. It may be a pity that many of them died, but it involved confidential matters such as the imperial seal.
Anyone would choose the latter.
She originally thought that Yan Siqing was kind and compassionate, but with justice first, he would only painfully sacrifice the lives of others, not now...
The other way around.
Yan Siqing closed his eyes wearily and said calmly, "If it exists, it will always hang over me, becoming a suspicion. Sooner or later, it will cause greater disasters and cause greater casualties. His Majesty is also planning to capture my daughter and bring her to Chang'an. When that happens, she will be my absolute weak spot. Why should I, a mere commoner, bear such responsibility for it?"
"As for its fate, it should have been your master and the royal family who bore the consequences long ago."
"The Yan family's loyalty ended when they were exterminated."
"Only the Xie family owes it."
"I've long since given up on keeping it."
“It’s annoying.”
Fuling was stunned.
——————
Outside, the man in black robe followed Lechen and walked quickly in the corridor.
They discussed how to get the jade seal and the treasure map. Only an hour had passed since they captured Yan Siqing and the others. Jiang Hui and the others had not yet arrived at the scene, so it would take time to find them.
At most, four hours.
They only have this time to operate.
And after getting it, you have to evacuate Chang'an.
It is true that speed is of the essence in war.
The black-robed man asked in a low voice, "Now that we know the secret, should we transfer her? Or execute her directly?"
"After all, I've already explained...it's useless, Your Highness."
"Keeping it would be a hidden danger."
"She won't go with us willingly. She's also very smart. If we take her away by force, she could easily get into trouble along the way."
As Liaochen walked, light and shadow intertwined on his face, and his expression became unpredictable.
"If the information is true, and the things have been obtained, and she hasn't been found yet, then of course she should be taken away. Her personality is not without flaws. As long as there is enough pressure, she is not incapable of weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately changing her position and adapting to her new identity. Isn't that what marrying Jiang Hui did?"
"If Jiang Hui can do it, why can't I?"
"Is it because I'm bald?"
"Will my hair never grow?"
The man in black robe: “…”
"What if she's found, or doesn't want to leave?"
Lechen stopped and looked back at him.
His face was half bright and half dark, but it was very similar to the face of a cold-blooded and ruthless ruler like Emperor Heng.
"It's okay if I can't have it, but if someone else has it, that makes me uncomfortable."
"If I can't come back, or if I miss her, then there will be only one fate for her."
"Didn't I ask you to feed her pills before?"
"The antidote is here."
"No matter what, I won't lose."
"Follow the plan and keep an eye on your apprentice."
He took out a jade bottle from under his sleeve, which contained a pill.
The tone is light and airy.
The man in black robe lowered his head and agreed.
——————
Inside the room, Fuling took Yan Siqing's pulse.
Yan Siqing: "Why, are you afraid that I'm faking the poisoning?"
Fuling: "Yes, I'm afraid you'll run away."
Yan Siqing laughed, "I actually wish I had martial arts skills, like you guys, so I could always have a chance to turn things around in desperate situations."
Fuling said nothing, checked the room where she was imprisoned, and finally closed and locked the door.
The room was quiet. Yan Siqing closed his eyes lazily. He seemed to smell a hint of fragrance behind him, and then... closed his eyes.
Outside, the man in black robe had already given orders to his subordinates.
"Spread the news, have you left a trace?"
"Yes, in order to rescue Yan Siqing, Prince Yan's forces will be diverted to Lijia Village and Dongling City, away from Chang'an City... The same goes for Jiang Hui and Prince Yan."
Once they left, it gave Chen more space to take action.
To prevent him from dealing with three generations of the Chiang family at the same time.
That has no chance of winning.
After his subordinates left after completing their tasks, the man in black robe turned around and saw his disciple Fu Ling, whom he had raised since childhood.
Fuling looked puzzled.
"Why, do you have other thoughts?" The man in black robe said in a cold tone.
Fu Ling lowered his head and said, "Master, it may not be that easy to lead Jiang Hui and his son to Lijia Village and Donglingwei City. They are not easy to deceive."
The man in black robe said: "Move Jian Wuliang and his men over there. If he is really over there, he will naturally go over there with the help of clues."
So, indeed, cunning.
They're just trying to buy time.
But no matter what, Jiang Hui will still find this place...
Is it possible that the focus will shift to Yan Siqing later?
Fuling vaguely suspected that her master had other plans with Lechen, more sinister ones, but she wasn't sure.
I only know that Yan Siqing...it's hard to leave, or it's hard to leave alive.
She knew very well that the person in front of her followed her master, Laochen.
As long as it is for the supreme purpose, they can do anything.
I am the same.
In the darkness, Fuling looked towards the small hut where Yan Siqing was imprisoned.
It is still daytime, but it is already in darkness.
Sooner or later the candle will go out.
——————
It is impossible for them to return so early after going out to investigate a case, but Xiaoyun and his men are former assassins of the palace, so they are very perceptive and will report to the palace on time.
If it wasn't passed on, it might be because Yan Siqing felt it was troublesome, or because she was in a safe situation and there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
But the news didn’t reach the Dali Temple either.
It would be very strange if both sides lost contact.
Jiang Hui sensed something was wrong and checked the city gate, only to learn that the people had already left Chang'an City.
He had been gone for at least two hours, and it was almost evening now, but there was still no sign of him returning.
Jiang Hui stood on the city wall, with the trembling city army generals behind him.
Ruoqin saw Jiang Hui's gloomy expression and knew he was on the verge of anger. "Your Highness, we've checked Luo Xuan's family and are pretty sure Madam left Chang'an City to investigate the case. She probably went to the Wild Forest area." "Based on the clues we have, it might be related to Lijia Village, and also—Donglingweicheng."
"Luo Xuan's wine business was doing very well in Ku County, but the wine merchants in Ku County actually served the garrisons of the various Weicheng. Those garrison commanders secretly violated regulations and drank excessively. Merchants also bribed these commanders to circumvent patrol regulations by transporting non-compliant goods to Chang'an... As a result, the wine industry in Ku County has grown rapidly in recent years, but this has nothing to do with Luo Xuan. After all, he was selling wine, and there was a layer of separation. He was suddenly killed. It's possible that the wine merchants in Ku County had problems with the garrison's military department, learned some secrets, and was murdered."
Different powers lead to different findings.
Jian Wuliang was unable to go beyond his authority and see into the problems of the Ministry of War, but when Jiang Hui investigated, the first thing he found was the issue of garrison.
So it also involves another destination.
"Dongling City Wall." Jiang Hui said lightly.
"Go check it out, don't expose yourself at this time."
"yes."
Concerning Yan Siqing's safety, Jiang Hui kept it secret and quietly left Chang'an.
As evening arrives, the sun sets and night approaches.
For many people in Chang'an, tonight is a very peaceful day. There are no scary noises like in the past. It is ordinary, peaceful and harmonious.
People work from sunrise to sunset and rest from sunset to sunrise. Chang'an is prosperous with bright lights and wine. Wine shops and noodle shops each have their own fragrance, and people coming and going are all happy.
No one knows who is approaching life and death, and who is touching power.
——————
Click, Yan Siqing was awakened by the sound of a door being unlocked, and looked up to see two masked men coming in.
It seems that they are going to transfer her away.
Lechen had no intention of letting her escape.
Yan Siqing remained motionless, watching them approach coldly.
Suddenly, with a whoosh, the candle was extinguished by a gust of wind.
The whole room fell into darkness.
It seemed as if a dark shadow floated in like a ghost, and in a blink of an eye, the two masked men fell to the ground.
What amazing Qinggong and some Xuegong skills.
She had been drugged and naturally had no ability to resist, so she did not move and just watched calmly... After the two men fell down, another black shadow was revealed.
It was too dark for her to see clearly, but when the other party came closer...
Yan Siqing's eyes trembled slightly.
"You will die, Miss Fuling."
Fu Ling said nothing and simply carried the man away like a rag bag.
His lightness skills were extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye he took Yan Siqing away from the old courtyard where she was hiding.
Only then did Yan Siqing confirm that this place was indeed a copper smelting plant.
She was hidden in the basement.
——————
Fuling took Yan Siqing out of the copper smelting plant, went to the lake outside, and entered the woods, moving even faster.
This person's martial arts skills are definitely much higher than those of Ruo Zhao and others.
He is considered to be a top-level strong man.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have intervened in a series of events starting from the post station...
"Queen Xie and her followers are using you like the sharpest sword. You are destroying your own future and will regret it later."
Yan Siqing reminded her softly.
Fu Ling lowered his eyes, still wandering through the forest, but whispered, "Didn't you say I would die? I'm going to die soon, so why would I care about my future?"
She remembered their first meeting at the post station.
The other person's eyes are gentle and calm, and he treats everyone equally and impartially.
That is a gesture that is hard for anyone to resist when standing at the bottom of the stairs.
But she was not a truly pitiful actress after all. In her eyes, those so-called powerful people were just mediocre people who could reap lives at any time according to her orders and plans.
So, she pretended, and pretended so perfectly that sometimes she even believed in her own fragility, pitifulness, elegance and self-possession.
Later, they were all in the bureau.
She has always had a hidden identity and position, but she watched as this top-notch intelligent person was in a more difficult situation than any low-level person, trapped in one dangerous situation after another, and was often pressured by the powerful and unable to escape.
But she cracked them one by one, and power bowed to her and status was at her feet.
How interesting.
Fuling thought he was watching a show, until...the other party had become a princess, but still treated people the same as before.
At that moment, Fuling knew that he had been soft-hearted.
She even felt that such a person, who was unwilling to live a mediocre life and unwilling to reach the top, would definitely not live long and would die sooner or later. Didn't she know that?
Look at now.
Still failed.
Fuling carried Yan Siqing on his back as they moved quickly through the darkness.

Now it is still not Yan Siqing's turn to plan for her safety.
Only Zhao Zhao has been outside and has always been a hostage in suspense.
This put Yan Siqing in a dilemma.
Yan Siqing: "Just guilty."
"I feel I am not worthy of being her mother. I always make things difficult for her and prevent her from even seeing her parents."
Her tone was calm, but sad.
Fu Ling: "I think most people in this world would like to have a mother like you. No daughter can refuse."
Yan Siqing could hear the painful emotions this person felt on the topic of mother and daughter.
