Chapter 122: Something Went Wrong
"That's good, the main thing is that there are too many things that happened before, I don't want to run into any more trouble, and it always makes sense to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Qiu Yan muttered inside.
Lu Chiye patted Qiu Yan's hand lightly, so that she didn't have to mind too much.
General Wang is indeed a man of his word, knowing that Qiu Yan and their current situation is special, if there is no strong martial arts person around him to protect him, he will definitely encounter countless troubles.
Therefore, after talking to his personal guards, he transferred a team of extremely strong martial arts people from the secret guards arranged at home and personally sent them to Qiuyan and them.
I didn't expect General Wang to be such a sincere person, Qiu Yan was really grateful, and specially left him for a meal to express his gratitude.
It's just that whether these people are strong or weak, Qiu Yan and Lu Chiye don't know.
In order to have a bottom, Qiu Yan asked them to make a move and a half in front of the two.
These people are strong in martial arts and trained in an orderly manner, Qiu Yan and Lu Chiye felt it, and they were sure that they all had real kung fu and a sense of security, so they were also relieved.
Qiu Yan hugged his fist at these people and said with a smile, "After that, I will trouble you to protect us secretly." ”
The men said in unison, "Yes." Then they all hid their figures.
Qiu Yan smiled at Lu Chiye and said, "Husband, if I hadn't known in advance that someone was by our side to protect us, I really wouldn't have felt it. ”
Lu Chiye also smiled and nodded.
Now, they don't have to worry too much about their safety.
Although no one has appeared for several days in a row, it seems that those things that are spying on the two or staring at the two of them really haven't happened again, but they can't be taken lightly, Qiu Yan and Lu Chiye are still on guard.
After careful attention for a few days, I still didn't find it.
Qiu Yan was a little strange.
So he pulled Lu Chiye and asked the people under General Wang, "Everyone, you have been hiding in the shadows to protect us all these days, I wonder if you have found that there are still people following us or spying on us?" ”
Those people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads.
One of them said, "There are no suspicious people around the two of you for the time being. ”
Qiu Yan and Lu Chiye looked at each other, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to be completely relieved.
Sure enough, what the two of them feared happened.
That day, Qiu Yan finished her work and returned to her room.
When he was about to take a nap, he pushed open the door, only to find a letter on his desk, neatly folded there.
Qiu Yan walked over and unfolded the letter, there were two pieces of stationery, each of which was full of words.
Qiu Yan also knew these handwritings, and they were the handwriting of the scholar.
Qiu Yan read the letter at a glance and ten lines, and then folded the letter again.
The content of the letter is probably that the scholar said that he had something to talk to him, and that after the conversation, he should also leave here.
Qiu Yan originally wanted to refuse, she and this scholar were not familiar with each other, and the other party seemed to misunderstand that she was interested in him, but in the end, after thinking about it, she still felt that if something really happened.
After some ideological struggle, Qiu Yan still decided to go to the appointment.
No matter what you say, as long as you can remind him again, it would be best to let him leave quickly, so as not to let Lu Chiye be jealous all the time.
The scholar's letter said that Qiuyan was asked to meet in a relatively remote place.
The letter was probably put in advance, and it had been put for a while, and it was written that the appointment time was not in time, and now there were still two quarters of an hour before the time was in place, which was considered abundant.
But that place is so remote that two quarters of an hour will only be enough for Qiu Yan to walk there from home.
She stuffed the folded letter in her pocket, walked out of her room, and stood in the doorway to look for Lu Chiye.
After looking, to no avail, Lu Chiye didn't seem to have returned.
Qiu Yan puffed out her cheeks, Lu Chiye hadn't come back yet, she couldn't tell him that she was going out, and she didn't know how long it would take for him to come back, and she couldn't wait for him here.
After thinking about it, Qiu Yan still went out first.
Since she had decided to go to the appointment, and they were going to leave in the near future, she couldn't be late.
And it probably doesn't take that much time, right? Maybe when she comes back, Lu Chiye hasn't come back yet.
So, Qiu Yan left without leaving a message.
But what she didn't know was that not long after she left, Lu Chiye returned.
Standing in the courtyard and looking around, he found that Qiu Yan was not there, thinking that she hadn't gone home yet, so he went back to the room by himself, ready to rest.
I was so tired that I forgot to close the door and went straight back to my room.
When he was lying on the kang and squinting his eyes and about to fall asleep, he heard the sound of someone coming in.
Lu Chiye suddenly became vigilant and hurriedly sat up from the kang.
Facing her, a little girl hurried into her room, her expression full of anxiety.
The girl was dressed plainly, with two pigtails, and a sugar gourd in her hand, and when she saw him, she was not timid, she looked at him with blazing eyes, and asked, "Big brother, are you Lu Chiye, the head of the Lu family?" ”
Lu Chiye nodded, did not speak, and cast a puzzled look.
The little girl continued, "It was a sister named Qiu Yan who asked me to come to you, and she said that she was checking on the business outside, and there was a situation that she couldn't cope with alone, and she needed your help. ”
Then the little girl also lifted her sugar gourd, smiled a little shyly, and said, "This is still given to me by that sister, she asked me to take you over." Let's go, brother? ”
Lu Chiye looked at the little girl for a while, probably because fatigue occupied his mind, and he didn't think much about it, he stood up and nodded, and said to her, "Okay, I know, you lead the way, I'll follow you." ”
The little girl just led Lu Chiye out, and she walked in front of her along the way, and Lu Chiye followed behind.
After walking for about half an hour, perhaps awakened by the oncoming wind, Lu Chiye suddenly found that something was wrong.
He was very tired just now, so he didn't think much about it, and it was a little girl who came to pass the word, and the reason was also very good, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong, so he followed her.
Now that I think about it, it's still a bit strange.
The direction of this road is not where they do business together.
And in the morning, he and Qiu Yan were divided into tasks, and she had no way to be sure that she would be at home, and it was absolutely impossible for this little girl to come to the house to spread the word.
After all, the girl's tone seemed to be sure that he would be at home, not to try his luck and see what it was like if he wasn't at home.
Thinking like this, Lu Chiye's eyes darkened, since he wanted to lead him over, it was estimated that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him.
Lu Chiye guessed: It was likely to be the group of people who followed him and Qiu Yan before.
However, thinking that they had the general's people secretly protecting them, he didn't have to worry.
It's better to just plan and see what these people want to do.
It is best to never suffer in the future, after all, although there are people to protect it, there are still risks, and Lu Chiye is reluctant to have a trace of danger in Qiuyan.
Because I figured it out in a short period of time, I didn't show anything wrong, and continued to walk with the little girl.
There was no word all the way, the little girl only cared about walking, and Lu Chiye only cared about following.
Probably because his safety was guaranteed, he didn't care too much about himself, and followed the little girl into an alley, and walked to the end of the alley, which was a small house.
The little girl stopped and said to Lu Chiye, "Okay, brother, I brought the road, I'll go back first, and my mother is still waiting for me to come home for dinner." ”
Lu Chiye nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.
When I got to the hall of the house, I saw a woman sitting on the main seat.
And that woman is none other than Qiu Yan's mother, Cao Xinfeng!
When Lu Chiye saw her, his face instantly turned cold, and his attitude was also very cold, and he said in a non-salty manner, "Why did you call me so hard?" ”
Then, without waiting for her to answer, he continued, "If it's okay, I'll go first." ”
Cao Xinfeng didn't expect Lu Chiye's attitude to be so bad, and seeing that he couldn't keep him, he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.
"Wait, hey, are you so impatient with me as my son-in-law?"
Then, he smiled and said strangely, "I might as well tell you the truth, I actually knew about the Qin prisoner before, and reported it to the higher-ups." ”
Lu Chiye looked at her lightly, didn't react, just pursed his thin lips slightly.
Seeing that he didn't react, Cao Xinfeng was a little unwilling, and asked, "The two cities are so far away, aren't you curious about how I know?" ”
When Lu Chiye heard her say this, he knew what she knew.
He deliberately replied coldly, "I'm not curious." ”
His face was flat, as if he was really not curious.
Cao Xinfeng was a little angry, and seemed to be a little annoyed and angry, "If you're not curious, I'll say it!" ”
Lu Chiye raised a smile without a trace, but Cao Xinfeng didn't see it.
Next, under the guidance of Lu Chiye, intentionally or unintentionally, Cao Xinfeng confided in all the things she knew.
Listening to her, Lu Chiye knew that Cao Xinfeng had no reason to lie to herself, so he didn't doubt her words.
It's clear: someone really asked Cao Xinfeng to do this behind his back!
Thinking like this, the light in his eyes dimmed.
pursed his lips, and after thinking about it, he came to a conclusion: The person behind Cao Xinfeng is very likely to be the prince.
Cao Xinfeng didn't notice that Lu Chiye was talking, so he just continued to speak, and he was quite proud, feeling that he had Lu Chiye and Qiu Yan in his hands.
Then, Cao Xinfeng smiled and pushed the cup of tea on the table, pushed the cup of tea forward, and pushed it in front of Lu Chiye, twisted the handkerchief with one hand to cover his mouth, and chuckled, looking twisted and pinched.
"Son-in-law, I'm also thirsty after saying so much, presumably you too, have a cup of tea? Anyway, I was thirsty, so I drank first. ”
Then, regardless of whether Lu Chiye answered or not, he picked up a nearby cup of tea and drank it.
seemed to be drinking tea, but Cao Xinfeng's eyes kept looking at Lu Chiye, and there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.
