As the sky gradually became late, scattered raindrops began to float around, and the cold wind blew across Qin Wan's cheeks, and a little dryness surged in her heart.

The code had disappeared halfway through the way, and she had no clue at all now. I don’t know how Xiao Jun took Xiao Lie.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and Qin Wan became alert, turned over and dismounted, waved her hand and put the horse into her space, and turned around to hide.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Qin Wan finally saw clearly that the person on the horse was a masked killer in black clothes.

She narrowed her eyes and said that this person was probably one of those who came to assassinate Xiao Lie.

The man in black pulled his horse and looked around, but seemed to find nothing, so he continued to run away.

After the man in black walked far away, Qin Wan released the horse back out of the space and rode his horse to the direction of the man in black.

If these people assassinated Xiao Lie, then following them, you can find some of Xiao Lie's whereabouts.

On a rainy night, Qin Wan came to a dilapidated inn, where nearly twenty horses were tied to the stable outside the inn.

Now that the flood has just passed, there is no possibility of so many horses at the inn and ordinary guests, there is only one possibility.

These horses belong to those men in black.

Qin Wan put his horse into the space and sneaked into the inn. Most of the lights in the inn guest rooms were turned off, and only one of the second floor wings was still on.

In the wing room, several men in black sat at the table with cold faces.

"That boy seemed to have evaporated from the world. We searched all around us, but we couldn't find any shadow."

"He could not run away with Xiao Lie unconscious."

"The boss said that if we don't take Xiao Lie's head back, we can only mention the head to see the prince."

Prince?

Qin Wan immediately grabbed a keyword.

Qin Tianfu has many sons, and in addition to the prince, there are three other conferred kings.

Could it be them?

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible.

The fiefs of those people are all on the border and are far away from here. Moreover, they have no motivation to kill Xiao Lie. For them, if Xiao Lie can be recruited to their own hands, it will even bring greater benefits.

Apart from the three princes who were crowned kings, there was only one king of different surnames left in the Dayan Dynasty.

King Xing Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou's grandfather had made great achievements in expeditions to the Western Regions and made unparalleled military achievements. He was adopted by Emperor Gao as his adopted son and made an exception to be named king. He even had the fief in Huaiyang Prefecture next to Jingzhao Prefecture, and was responsible for the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital.

It has been three lifetimes since Muyunzhou.

When Qin Tianfu first became emperor, he sent Xu Yu and Mu Yunzhou to make a secret deal and did not attack Huaiyang Prefecture. It was also with Mu Yunzhou that he successfully entered Jingzhao Prefecture.

However, it would be even more unreasonable for Mu Yunzhou to send people to kill Xiao Lie.

They had no grievances or grudges, and even afterwards, Mu Yunzhou stood on Xiao Lie's side and pushed Xiao Lie to the throne.

Qin Wan listened for a while, but no longer heard any useful information.

These people didn't find Xiao Lie, and were confused.

She did not act rashly and left quietly.

Before she knew who the murderer behind the scenes was, Qin Wan didn't want to alarm the snake. If these people were really sent by King Xing, she would have to consider how to resolve them so that she would not cause trouble to Xiao Lie in the future.

After all, when she arrived in Xizhou, she patted her butt and didn't care about it anymore, and Xiao Lie still wanted to fight the country.

Qin Wan did not live in the inn, so she continued to look for Xiao Lie's whereabouts.

It was drizzling and a little cold.

Just as she was planning to find a place to rest, she suddenly saw a figure of a man and a horse in the rain not far away.

The man was not a man in black, he seemed to be an official, and his figure was somewhat familiar.

Qin Wan looked at it for a moment and suddenly realized.

It's Jiangchuan!

She immediately became alert.

Huang Mazi said that Jiang Chuan is from the Prince's Mansion, so there is no need to lie to her.

Could this matter also be related to Qin Zheng?

That night, Qin Wan kept following Jiang Chuan secretly.

Until dawn, the rain stopped.

Jiang Chuan suddenly blew a whistle, and a black hawk fell from the clouds. He took his pen and wrote a sealed letter, tied it to the black hawk's feet, and released the black hawk away.

Just as the black eagle spread its wings, it suddenly let out a miserable whine and fell to the ground.

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Qin Wan appeared in front of him and grabbed the injured Black Hawk.

"Princess?" Jiang Chuan said in surprise.

Qin Wan looked at his expression but could not see any panic.

She narrowed her starry eyes slightly and asked quietly: "Captain Jiang, what are you doing here?"

"We met a killer in Crescent Mountain. Xiao Jun took Xiao Lie to escape. I came to find them."

"Why do you have to send a secret letter to Xiao Jun and Xiao Lie?" Qin Wan said, pulling the secret letter out of the black eagle's legs.

"Princess might as well read the content of the secret letter?" Jiang Chuan said.

Qin Wan opened the secret letter with one hand, glanced at the handwriting on it, frowned slightly, and asked Jiang Chuan: "Who are you?"

The secret letter actually read: Xiao Lie is in trouble, come and rescue him quickly.

This could never be sent to the Prince's Mansion.

Jiang Chuan took a step back, bowed respectfully to Qin Wan, and said, "Princess, my subordinates are entrusted by Mr. Xu to escort you and the prince to Xizhou."

"Xu Yu?" Qin Wan reacted suddenly.

"That's right, Mr. Xu knew that the prince was in trouble, so he specially sent a message to his subordinates to take care of you along the way. If he encounters trouble, he can ask him for help."

Qin Wan never expected that Jiang Chuan would be Xu Yu's person. Throughout the journey, he has always been like a bystander and never showed any kindness to them.

Suddenly, Qin Wan thought of something and asked quickly: "You won't tell Xu Yu everything that happened along the way, right?"

Xu Yu is very smart. If he knew everything, he would definitely notice something.

"No, Mr. Xu just asked his subordinates to take care of you along the way, and did not ask to report your situation at any time. He did not dare to disturb Mr. Xu easily."

From Jiang Chuan's tone, Qin Wan vaguely felt that he had an extremely strong respect for Xu Yu.

"You and Xu Yu..."

"Mr. Xu saved our family's life from the soldiers and bandits. I have already sworn in my heart to be loyal to Mr. Xu for life. Princess doesn't have to worry. Mr. Xu is facing the prince's side and he will not harm you."

"Zhu Mazi once said before, are you from the Prince's Mansion?"

"I also looked for Mr. Xu in that matter. The escort of the Prince's Mansion is like me and has an old relationship with Mr. Xu..." Jiang Chuan explained.

Is there Xu Yu's people in the prince's mansion?

Qin Wan suddenly reacted. Xu Yu in the book had a very high prestige in Dayan. Qin Tianfu was defeated in the early stage. It was because of meeting Xu Yu that he regained his territory. With Xu Yu's extremely high talent, he slowly entered.

All the generals under Qin Tianfu were dispatched by Xu Yu and received the favor of Xu Yu.

In a way, Xu Yu's prestige may be higher than Qin Tianfu.
