When she woke up from her dream, Qin Miaoyin was holding Ye Jinyu's arm and was sad for a long time.

Ye Jinyu also encountered this kind of girl trafficking for the first time, even if he knew that it was just a task in a dream, his emotions still fluctuated slightly.

The next time I fall asleep, I'm afraid I won't hear about it from other people's mouths, but they have to face it with their own eyes, and I don't know if Miaoyin can stand it.

Hou Ye did not return overnight, Ling Zhao wanted to go out of the house to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by his father and the guards.

"Master Hou has instructed that no one is allowed to leave the house until he comes back, good daughter, go back and guard Miss Ye well, don't let Miss Ye have any mistakes."

After listening to Ling Zhao's reply, Ye Jinyu knew that the matter of robbers was not simple, even if he was uneasy, he didn't dare to let Ling Zhao go out again.

Thinking about it carefully, the matter of An Rumeng and the others going home was decided by Hou Ye with a temporary change of mind, and it was impossible for the news to leak out so quickly, and the robbers had already planned everything in just one day.

If it weren't for the fact that they had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of the Hou Mansion, it would have been possible for the mansion to respond accordingly, otherwise it would have been impossible to make corresponding countermeasures so quickly.

At this time, in the yamen, Li Yi and Qi Guanyu, who had not stopped all night, were still arguing.

"The robbers are the assassins who assassinated you, and they made such a request just to let you fall into the net, how could the lower officials put the Hou Ye in a dangerous place." Qi Guanyu frowned and waved his hand, and muttered again: "There must be another way, I'll think about it again." ”

"But if Ben Hou doesn't go over in person, the lives of the An family will be gone, and there are still two hours, and it will be too late if you don't act." Li Yi said in a deep voice.

"These robbers are not locals, and we don't know how many people are hiding behind them. If we really do what they say, we will be in a passive position. Qi Guanyu said righteously: "Besides, they are still carrying more than 20 lives, they can't just let people go, and the lower officials must also seek justice for those who died." ”

Li Yi's eyes flashed slightly, he asked the lark to investigate before, about half a month ago, a villa on the outskirts of Yingcheng was ransacked, and more than 20 members of the Jiang family were killed, and all the property and food in the family were looted.

"What Qi Senjun said was about the Jiang family's villa on the outskirts of the city?"

Qi Guanyu said sonorously: "It turns out that Master Hou also heard about it, yes, we have been investigating for more than half a month, and now we finally have an eyebrow, and two murderers have also been arrested, if the trial can continue, maybe we will be able to catch all the murderers soon." At this juncture, we must not give up halfway. ”

"Qi joins the army, how much do you know about these murderers?" Li Yi asked.

"Judging from their methods of ransacking the Jiang family, these people are likely to be an organization, well-trained and planned, and they are by no means ordinary rogues." Qi Guanyu said.

Li Yi nodded and said: "The killer organizations on the rivers and lakes, the various sects, the officials and soldiers in the imperial court, and even those mysterious organizations among the people, these are all possible. Qi Senjun wants to ask the follow-up from the mouths of the two captured people, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Let's just figure it out and see what they want to do. ”

"After these people ransacked the Jiang family, they didn't hide to avoid the limelight, but chose to assassinate Hou Ye, there must be another mastermind behind them." Qi Guanyu was moved, and after a while, he said: "Since Master Hou has made up his mind, Xia Guan can only try his best to cooperate, but this trip is extremely dangerous, and Xia Guan will personally lead people to protect you in secret." ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, not the slightest fear, but admonished: "If Ben Hou is taken away by them, don't act rashly, it is best to secretly follow and find out their lair, but if you are detected and retreat immediately, Ben Hou will find a way to leave clues on the way." ”

"Xia Guan understands, I'll go and let people prepare, and set off after a stick of incense." Qi Guanyu turned around and went out.

Li Yi leaned back in the circle chair tiredly, the wound on his back had not completely healed, and it still hurt even if he pulled it slightly. In the past, this kind of pain was nothing to him, but now he suddenly thought of the little girl at home, and her voice and appearance lingered in his mind, which made him a little apprehensive and timid.

In case he had an accident this time, he would never see the little girl again, he couldn't hold her, he couldn't spoil her, he couldn't see her smile, he couldn't feel her warmth anymore, and this fear of saying goodbye scared him.

Ye Rutong, you must wait for Ben Hou to come back, definitely!

When it was almost noon, there was still no movement at the door of the Hou Mansion, Ye Jinyu looked at the troubled Miao Yin next to her, and pretended to be very calm on the surface, but in fact, she was also very panicked.

She was worried that something would happen to Hou Ye, and she was even more worried that the people in the house would be implicated. She is now very sure that Hou Ye's identity is by no means simple, maybe his relegation to Yingcheng is just a pretense, but she can't guess what the real purpose is.

It's just that the thought of the Tiger Talisman that can mobilize troops and dispatch troops will give birth to a sense of fear that she will fight at any time, which is more terrible than natural and man-made disasters for a person living in a peaceful era.

Her anxiety lasted until the evening, and when she heard the news that Hou Ye had been taken away by the robbers, she could no longer maintain the peace on her face. Hurriedly grabbed the housekeeper and asked: "Didn't the government also participate in this matter, and Master Qu also followed, how could such a change happen?" ”

The housekeeper sighed, "The robber asked Hou Ye to change people in person, and no one else was allowed to follow, so he ...... in the end."

"Impossible, my cousin will definitely not watch Master Hou go to his death." Ye Jinyu's tone has changed a little, and she also firmly believes that Hou Ye will not die easily, they must have other arrangements, but outsiders don't know.

"Uncle Ling, you must inform me if there is any more news." After Ye Jinyu figured it out, he let go and went back.

The night was dark, the carriage ran on the bumpy road for several hours, Li Yi was wearing a black hood on his head, and it was pitch black in front of him, and he could only rely on his hearing to discern the surrounding environment.

These people had been running around with him for so long, and it seemed that they had run far away, but he listened carefully, they had been circling around the outside of the city, and they had not run out of the boundary of Yingcheng at all.

I didn't expect them to be so vigilant, and they wasted so much time for fear of exposing the location of the nest. I don't know if Qi joined the army and Qu Yu and they couldn't keep up, were they dizzy and lost?

The carriage went around the road for another half an hour, and finally stopped, and Li Yi was unceremoniously dragged off the carriage and pushed forward. The road under your feet was not smooth, there was a section of uphill road, and then it was flat, and there were fires flickering around, and listening to the crackling sound, I guessed that there were many torches or fires lit around. Trina

It was quiet, only the sound of the wind and footsteps could be heard, and the footsteps were orderly, thumpping, deep and powerful.

Li Sui's heart moved, and he quickly circled a range of these people's identities.

"It's here, let's go in!" Someone pushed him, and he fell to the ground, and there was no sound of the door closing behind him.

Li Sui's hands were tied behind his back, and he broke free several times to no avail, but it made him a little more sure of the identities of those people.

The wound in his shoulder blade seemed to tear a small opening, and he felt a little sticky on his clothes, and the fine and dense pain tormented every nerve in him.

Li Sui inhaled silently and sat on the ground.

Hunting in the cold wind outside, the sound sounded like a mountain wind, and from time to time there was the sound of heavy curtains beating and shaking each other.

The men had left him here and disappeared, and there was only the sound of neat footsteps outside.

Li Sui sat for a while, and when the pain in the wound subsided, he carefully kicked off his shoe, and something the length of a finger immediately fell out of it.

He sat and turned, moved back, picked it up with difficulty, and rubbed off the leather cloth he was hugging outside, revealing the sharp blade.

After he was taken into the carriage by those men, everything on his body was looted, except for the one in his shoes that escaped.

Li Sui cut the rope on his wrist, took off the mask on his head, and slowly got up. When his eyes adjusted to the darkness around him, the curtain of the door not far away was suddenly blown open by the wind.

There was a brazier outside, and instead of houses, tents were scattered around.

Li Sui was sure that there would be such a habitual and well-trained organization, and I am afraid that only soldiers on the battlefield would be able to fight.

He didn't go out, listening to the footsteps there were at least twenty or thirty people here, and there were people guarding the door. I hope that Qi Guanyu and Qu Yu's actions can be faster, those people didn't kill him immediately, they must have kept him for questioning, and wanted to get something from him.

Let's go back to before dark, Qi Guanyu and Qu Yu and others, who were secretly tracking, went around in various mountains and forests outside the city for several hours, and finally lost the people.

At that time, one of their two teams was in the north and the other in the south, separated by more than ten miles, and no one knew anyone's situation.

Relying on his understanding of the Hou Ye, Qu Yu worked hard to search for clues that his master might leave behind.

When Qi Guanyu was investigating the Jiang family's murder case, he already knew a little about those murderers, and later sent someone to do further investigation and confirmation under Li Sui's reminder, and finally received the news before dark, and now he has seven points of certainty about the identity of the murderer.

A group of deserters who escaped from Luozhou!

Luozhou is an important border area in the southeast, where it is perennially harassed by the surrounding tribal peoples, and wars are fought for most of the year. The people were frightened, and the soldiers who were stationed there were also miserable people, so it was not uncommon for there to be deserters.

The southeast is mountainous and watery, and the topography of Yingcheng is very different. Regardless of why these people fled here, they dare to make such waves as deserters. But from the habits they have cultivated over the years, it is likely that their nests will be settled in the mountains they are more familiar with.

According to this line of thought, Qi Guanyu led people to search every mountain forest outside the city overnight, and finally found a stone mountain near the border of Yingcheng on the fourth watch.

There were lights in the depths of the hinterland of the stone mountain, and Qi Guanyu led people to stand at the highest place a few miles away, and saw that there were indeed large and small tents distributed below.

"Has Master Qu arrived?" Qi Guanyu asked the person next to him.

"Not yet, maybe I lost it halfway through." Catch the fast return.

"Go down the hill and go farther away to give a signal, and wait for someone to come." Qi Guanyu commanded.

The catcher immediately took the order and ran away.

Qi Guanyu and the others rested and waited in place, observing the movements in the camp from time to time, there were a total of eight tents, five of which looked very rough in appearance, and three tents that were slightly smaller but delicate.

It seems that three of these deserters have gone up to the peak, but now there is only one outside the three tents with two soldiers standing at the door.

Qi Guanyu speculated that Hou Ye should be locked up in that tent.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the road at the entrance is getting narrower and narrower, if you lead people to attack, the attack power will be gradually reduced, and there are quite a lot of roadblocks on both sides, plus the terrain where you camp is more than a foot higher than the entrance, which is also conducive to the enemy's observation and make the most favorable resistance and breakthrough.

It's an easy terrain to defend and difficult to attack!

Qi Guanyu thought of a few offensive countermeasures, but he always felt that there was still something missing, until Qu Yu brought people over, the sky had cleared, and there were gradually signs of other soldiers' activities in the camp.
