C142 Follow Me
The red veins in the eye sockets are exposed to the cold air. Yu Longchen stood on the roof of the mansion. His pair of sharp eyes overlooked everything in the darkness. What was he looking for?
Two soft sounds entered Yu Longchen's ears. He didn't pay attention to them, but kept staring at the same place.
"Did you find anything?" Yuan Zhen could not stand stably. He shook left and right twice and squatted down. Miao Yingyu stood under the roof where the two of them were and looked up at them.
"If you go, you will be a burden to me." Yu Longchen's tone was indifferent and there was a bit of disdain in it. "You guys go!"
Yuan Zhen was not willing. He snorted unhappily. "Do you think we are a burden? I want to go!" Thinking about it carefully, Yu Longchen was actually afraid that something would happen to them. Was this considered a different kind of concern? The way he looked at Yu Longchen was somewhat different.
"What can you all do? I still don't know what kind of place that is. When the time comes, I still need to be distracted to protect you!" Yu Longchen asked with a serious tone. This time, he was serious.
"Hehe." Yuan Zhen found a fulcrum and stood up. He shook his head and smiled awkwardly. "The wind is too strong here."
Yuan Zhen did not care about what Yu Longchen said. He changed the topic. "When did you start to doubt Xiangyi?"
"She went to tell you when Qing went missing." Yu Longchen frowned deeper and deeper. His eyebrows were squeezed into a line.
Yuan Zhen was not stupid. He could understand it easily. On the surface, there was nothing wrong with this matter, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a little surprised.
When Mu Ruqing went missing, Lingyue's first reaction was to tell Yu Longchen and Xiangyi's reaction was to tell him and Miao Yingyu.
Logically speaking, when her respected Mistress went missing, she would be anxious and sad but she would not cry when she saw anyone. Thinking about it now, her expression was indeed a little fake and exaggerated.
"But this still cannot prove that it is related to her!" Yuan Zhen still could not think of the key point.
"Qing was kidnapped in the room, but we did not notice. It means that there is someone in the room as a spy. Lingyue is my subordinate. Then all suspicion will fall on Xiangyi. " Yu Longchen looked at Yuan Zhen. He was really stupid. "Do you know why she looked for you?"
" We are good friends with Qing! " Yuan Zhen scratched the back of his head. His tone was not good.
"Because she knows your abilities. Is she crying very hard?"
"Yeah, her eyes are red."
"She has let Qing down. She knows that only you guys can find that tunnel. So she went to find you. Consider it a small compensation. "
"What!" Yuan Zhen did not feel anything strange about Xiangyi. Yu Longchen spoke in such detail, and there was doubt in his eyes. "Impossible. She does not know about our abilities."
"She does not know, but it does not mean that the people behind her do not know." Yu Longchen did not bother to explain too much, "See for yourself."
Yuan Zhen followed Yu Longchen's gaze and saw a courtyard in front of them on the roof.
There was a faint candle light moving in the darkness, and a person in a black cloak was moving through the night. Yuan Zhen's eyes were wide open, afraid that he would miss any movement of that person.
Miao Yingyu kept looking at the two of them. When she walked to the door, she saw the person who lifted the lantern through the crack of a door.
"Then how are you going to make her reveal a flaw?" Yuan Zhen was puzzled again. She was a living curious baby.
"I just need to magnify her guilt and fear, and then use her family to threaten me." Yu Longchen was a little speechless, but he still patiently told him, "It's very easy to find her family."
"Then, are you really going to kill them all?" Yuan Zhen's words were filled with disbelief, and it only made Yu Longchen roll his eyes. That was right. With his temper, how could he possibly kill those people?
Yu Longchen pointed his foot and jumped out. By the time Yuan Zhen reacted, he had already appeared on the roof in front of him.
Yuan Zhen gritted his teeth and did not want to fall behind. He lifted his leg and chased after them. Miao Yingyu saw the movements of the two people and also followed.
Xiangyi held the folded letter in her hand tightly. The lantern swayed left and right as she walked.
Her eyes could not hide the nervousness in her eyes. She looked at the road in front of her and comforted herself, "We are almost there, almost there!" She did not notice that there were three people following behind her.
After leaving the Imperial Residence, they passed through a remote alley in the Imperial Capital. Occasionally, they met one or two people and lowered their heads as they passed by.
Xiangyi walked close to the wall and bumped into a person. Just as she was about to flare up, she lifted the lantern and saw that person. Her face was filled with joy.
"Yo, which family's girl is this? She looks really pretty. Let big brother take a look." The man had some stubble on his chin, and under his thick eyebrows, there was a pair of lewd eyes.
Xiangyi was grabbed by the man's wrist and the lanterns fell to the ground. Her expression turned into one of fear. "Get lost! There are scoundrels there!"
How could the man listen to her? He laughed complacently and carried Xiangyi by her waist. Regardless of her struggles, he carried her to a darker alley by the side.
Yu Longchen and the other two could not see the situation inside from the roof. Yuan Zhen saw that Xiangyi was going to be sullied and his heart was somewhat anxious. No matter who was being carried away, he would take care of it.
Miao Yingyu stopped him and shook her head, indicating that he should not move. Yuan Zhen said in a low voice, "No matter what, she is still a pure woman. How can we just sit and watch?"
Yu Longchen gave him a warning look and heard the cries coming from the alley. He just waited for the matter to end.
In the alley.
Xiangyi's cries made people's hearts tighten. "Someone come! Help!"
"There is nothing wrong with Miss following me!" The man panted heavily and stood opposite Xiangyi.
Xiangyi kept begging for mercy as she handed the letter to the person standing in front of her.
The two of them cooperated very well. Those who could not see it all thought that something indescribable was happening in the alley.
"Sect Leader asked you, is there anything wrong with King Chu?" The man whispered. His voice was completely covered by Xiangyi's crying voice.
Xiangyi shook her head, her tone slowly carrying despair. After shouting for so long, pretending to be tired, her voice was very low. "His Royal Highness went out to find the Princess but did not come back. Even his personal bodyguards do not know where he went."
The man's expression was a little complicated and still said, "You be careful. If it is useless to Sect Leader, you know Sect Leader's means."
Speaking of this, Xiangyi's shoulders unconsciously trembled. She was born and raised in the Imperial Capital. Ever since she was sent to the Prime Minister's Estate to be on duty at eight or nine years old, Mrs Miao became her mistress. At that time, everything changed...
"En." Xiangyi nodded her head and thought of the contents of the letter. She felt a little guilty and pinched her hands but still did not take it back.
The man hid the letter and turned around to walk out of the alley. When he went out, he looked around. He was still wearing his belt and seemed to have come out of a happy life. He could not see Xiangyi behind him.
Yu Longchen's target had become a man. He did not care about Xiangyi, but followed the man more carefully.
Xiangyi only knew a little bit of defensive martial arts, so she naturally could not find them. However, that man was different. She did not know his background, and she did not know how many people there were. She also did not know where they were lying in ambush.
The man moved faster than Xiangyi. He turned the alley whenever he saw it. If it wasn't for the few people looking at him, he would have lost them.
