Chapter 628

The Dali Monastery prime minister left the room and went up the stairs to the main hall. Arrester Chen, two censors and Yang Yan were sitting at the table, drinking tea in silence.

There was a brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

In his early forties, the Dali Monastery prime minister was considered to be in the prime of his life. He silently sat down at the table, picked up the brush and wrote on the rice paper.

"Not a warlock!"

There was another line of words on the rice paper. It was written by Arrester Chen: Hiding something in his right hand.

Then, the two censors entered the room to talk with the female spy. When they came out, one of them wrote "Didn't ask about the case", while the other wrote "Extremely concerned about Xu Yinluo".

Yang Yan kneaded the Xuan paper into a ball. With a gentle squeeze, the paper ball turned to dust.

He threw it away and went upstairs without any expression. When he came to the door, he pushed it in without knocking.

"The Princess is missing. You guys have to bear the main responsibility." The female spy said in a low voice.

Yang Yan sat at the table. His face was like a stone sculpture, lacking any vivid changes. He answered indifferently to the female spy's accusation.

"If you have something to say, say it."

"Fine!" The female spy nodded and said slowly, "I'll get straight to the point. Where is the Princess?"

"What's in your right hand?" Yang Yan didn't answer but asked instead. His eyes fell on the right shoulder of the female spy.

"As expected of Jinluo. You saw through my little trick in one glance." The female spy raised her hand that was hidden under the table and opened her palm. There was a small octagonal copper plate lying quietly.

"The instrument of the Celestial Commissioner. It can distinguish between lies and truth." She pushed the octagonal copper plate to the side. She said lightly, "But it's useless against you who is at the peak of the Fourth Grade. Only a Sixth Grade warlock can tell if you're lying or not. "

Yang Yan didn't look at the octagonal copper plate and answered her question, "I don't know where the Princess is."

The female spy's second question followed, "Where is Xu Qi 'an? Did he really come back to the capital injured? "

Yang Yan raised his hand and said, "You ask a question. I'll ask a question."

Under the cloak, the pair of deep eyes stared at him for a moment and said slowly, "Ask away."

"Why did the barbarians target the Princess?" Yang Yan's question went straight to the heart of the matter.

The female spy didn't answer.

Yang Yan nodded. "Let me change the question. Did Chu Xianglong insist on taking the waterway because he was waiting to meet you?"

"Yes."

The female spy gave an affirmative answer and asked, "Where is Xu Qi 'an?"

Yang Yan shook her head. "I don't know. Why didn't the spy go back to the capital and escort them secretly? Why did he have to wait at the border of Chu Zhou City? "

He did not know … In other words, Xu Qi 'an did not return to the capital with serious injuries. The female spy said in a deep voice, "We have our enemies. Does Duke Wei know about Wangfei's journey to the north? "

I can't split my manpower … Yang Yan's eyes flickered as he said, "I know."

…

The female spy didn't follow General Li out of the city. Instead, she went to the military camp in Wanzhou alone and rested in a tent. At night, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw someone come in.

The person was also wearing a black robe and a mask that only showed his chin. He had a light green stubble around his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "I just came back from Jiang State City and found two places.

One of them was the site of a fierce battle, and the other had no obvious signs of fighting, but there were spider webs left by the Goldenwood Tribe's winged spiders. What about you? "

The female spy replied in the same deep voice.

"It matches the information I got from the envoy group. The northern demons and barbarians sent four fourth-level warriors. They are Snake Monster Hong Ling, Dragon Tribe Tang Shan, and Black Water Tribe Zalmuha, but the leader of the Goldenwood Tribe, Sky Wolf."

"Chu Xianglong took advantage of the fact that the three fourth-level warriors were entangled with Xu Qi 'an and Yang Yan, and asked the guards to evacuate with the Princess and the maids. In addition, the envoy group didn't know about the Princess's special status, and Yang Yan didn't know her whereabouts. "

The male secret agent grunted, "It seems that the Heavenly Wolf is waiting for him. Chu Xianglong is in danger, and as for the Princess …"

The atmosphere in the tent became heavy.

"Wait. Did you just say that Chu Xianglong asked the guards to take the maids and the Princess away?" the male spy suddenly asked.

"To be more precise, he escaped with the Princess, while the imperial guards escaped with the maids" the female spy said.

"Heh, he's not a soft-hearted person." The male spy sneered and said, then continued.

"It's obvious that the Princess he took with him is fake. The real Princess is among the maids. It's both smart and stupid. The smart part is that he mixed with the maids, but the stupid part is that he can't hide it from Sky Wolf and the others.

"At the critical moment, he still took the maids to escape. This is to tell them that the real Princess is among the maids. Well, he doesn't trust the envoy group. Or, in Chu Xianglong's view, the envoy group must have been wiped out. "

The female spy nodded. "It was Xu Qi 'an who stopped Tang Shanjun and Zalmuha, and his real cultivation is about Level Six …"

She told the recent deeds of Xu Qi 'an and said, "According to the chief of detectives of the Ministry of Justice, Xu Qi' an could defeat the outstanding disciples of the Celestial Sect and the Human Sect because of the Confucian magic books. Chu Xianglong probably didn't expect that he still had some left. "

The male spy with a hoarse voice said, "More than that, foreign objects will run out, and the Level Four Warrior is too difficult to kill. In the end, Xu Qi 'an ran out of food and ammunition, so Chu Xianglong chose to abandon them."

"Reasonable."

The female spy sighed and said worriedly, "What should we do now? The Princess has fallen into the hands of the northern barbarians. I'm afraid she's in danger."

The male spy chuckled. "It's not that bad. The Barbarians must know about the Princess's uniqueness since they sent out four leaders and asked them to ambush the Princess.

"Then, who wants to be the Princess the most?"

The female spy suddenly realized and said, "The leader of the Green Face Tribe."

The man's head, which was hidden in the hood, moved as if he was nodding. He said, "Therefore, they will take the Princess back to the north first. They will either share the Reiki equally or they will be promised great benefits. In short, the Princess will be safe before the leader of the Blue Face Tribe joins in."

The female spy agreed with him and said tentatively, "So now, we can only inform Duke Huai to seal the northern border, search for Tang Shanjun and the other three in Jiang and Chu Zhou, and take back the Princess?"

The man didn't nod or object. He said, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

"Yes! The leader, Xu Qi 'an, did not return to the capital but secretly went north. As for where he went, Yang Yan said he didn't know, but I think they must have a special way of contacting each other. "

"Why do you think so?" The male spy asked.

"Xu Qi 'an was ordered to investigate the Three Thousand Mile Massacre Case. He was afraid of offending Duke Huai and was even more afraid of being monitored. So, using the diplomatic mission as a cover and investigating in secret was the right choice. It's normal for a genius who can solve cases like a god and has a meticulous mind to have such a response. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. "

The female spy continued, "Moreover, the internal relationship of the diplomatic mission is not harmonious. The officials of the three departments and the night watchman don't like each other. The diplomatic mission is actually not very useful to him. If he stays, he might be suppressed by the officials of the three departments."

The man stroked his pale green chin, his fingertips touching the hard short beard, and muttered, "Don't look down on these civil officials. Maybe they're acting."

"But if you knew that Xu Qi 'an once stopped the officials outside the Meridian Gate and wrote a poem to mock them, you wouldn't think so." The female spy said.

She paused and added, "Wei Yuan knows that Princess is going north. Is the barbarian incident related to him?"

The man sneered, "Don't ask me. We can't guess Wei Qingyi's thoughts. But we have to be on guard. Yes, spread Xu Qi 'an's portrait. Once it's discovered, keep a close watch. As for the diplomatic mission, focus on monitoring Yang Yan's actions. As for the officials of the three departments, do as you see fit. "

… …

The next morning, Princess, who was covered in Xu Qi 'an's robe, woke up in the cliff cave. She saw Xu Qi' an squatting at the entrance of the cliff cave. He was holding a copper basin that came out of nowhere and his entire face was submerged in the basin.

Princess was still angry. She hugged her knees and stared at him for a quarter of an hour.

Then, the man turned around and quietly kneaded his face. After a long time, he turned around.

"Ah!"

Princess screamed and curled up like a startled rabbit. She widened her eyes and pointed at him, her voice trembling, "You, you, you … Xu Erlang?"

What the hell?

She had seen this man before. He was Xu Qi 'an's cousin, Xu Erlang. But why would the Xu Family's second son appear here?

"What a fuss …" Xu Qi 'an snorted proudly, "This is my unique face-changing skill. Even a Warrior with a high cultivation wouldn't be able to see through my disguise."

As he spoke, he poured away the medicine in the copper basin.

"Why did you turn into your cousin?" Hearing the familiar voice, Princess's heart instantly calmed down. She looked at him suspiciously.

This woman really didn't have any brains. Maybe she was used to swaggering around Duke Huai Palace. No one dared to fight with her, so she acted like an auntie … Xu Qi 'an said unhappily,

"Are you stupid? How can I enter the city with Xu Qi 'an's face? This is the most basic of anti-reconnaissance awareness. "

Anti-what? Princess didn't understand either. She curled her lips, "I'm hungry."

"The porridge is ready. There's a pheasant outside. Go fix it, clean it, and roast it," Xu Qi 'an ordered.

"Oh!" The princess went out obediently.

In this period of time, she learned the whole process of fixing and roasting the prey. This was, of course, Xu Qi 'an's request. Princess was also used to being bullied by him. After all, she had no choice but to lower her head.

Of course, Princess was also a bad woman. She never talked back to Xu Qi 'an directly. She often took revenge in private.

For example, when he was bathing, she would hide his clothes so that he couldn't fly into a rage in the water.

Or she would smear the bird droppings on the leaves on the prey and roast it for him to eat.

Recently, she had been thinking about spitting on the roasted prey.

The price she had to pay was being forced to listen to his ghost stories at night. She didn't dare to sleep at night and was so scared that she almost cried. Or she wouldn't eat for an entire day and had to travel a long distance.

When she fell asleep at night, saliva would flow out of her mouth.

After a long time, the chicken was roasted. Princess, who had spat for a long time, smiled sinisterly. She put the roasted chicken aside and turned back to the cliff cave and shouted,

"The chicken is roasted. I'll have porridge."

Xu Qi 'an ate meat and Princess drank porridge. This was the tacit understanding they had developed recently. To be precise, it was the sequelae of hurting each other.

Xu Qi 'an was very angry, so he was not happy to let her eat meat. Princess was also unhappy that he did not let her eat meat, so she tried to take revenge.

It was a vicious cycle.

Xu Dalang, who wore Xu Erlang's face, walked out of the cliff cave and sat by the campfire. He said, "We will arrive at Sanhuang County before dusk today."

Princess's face was full of joy. This meant that the hard journey was finally over.

Xu Qi 'an glanced at her and said lightly, "This chicken is for you."

Princess's face suddenly became dull.

"Why, you don't want to eat it? Or did you put bird poop in the chicken again? "Xu Qi 'an asked with narrowed eyes.

"You, don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure." Princess grabbed the chicken and moved it in front of him. She said fiercely, "Look for yourself, there's no bird poop."

"Then eat it." Xu Qi 'an nodded.

"…" Princess opened her mouth and said weakly, "I, I don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat meat."

"Then hurry up and eat. Don't waste food, or I'll be angry." Xu Qi 'an smiled.

"…" Her ordinary face immediately scrunched up into a ball.

At this time, Xu Qi 'an's heart throbbed. After so many days, someone finally sent a message to the Earth Tome chat group.

He picked up the porridge and returned to the cliff cave. As he walked, he said, "Hurry up and finish it. If you don't, I'll throw you here to feed the worms."

Princess made a face at his back.

Xu Qi 'an leaned against the cliff wall and sat down. He stared at the fragment of the Earth Tome and drank a mouthful of porridge. A line of small words appeared on the jade mirror:

[Two: Jinlian Taoist priest, please block everyone for me.]

After a few breaths, Li Miaozhen's message came again: [Xu Qi 'an, have you arrived at the Northern Region?]

Xu Qi 'an put down the bowl and used his finger as a pen to enter the message: [I'll arrive at the Northern Region today. Did you find anything?]
