"Because Liu Xiang knows that he is my man, he will naturally be on guard against him. How can he let Sanhu investigate him? You know best how smart the people in the capital are. I let him go, it's just I want to train him and see if he can gain something from this trip."

As soon as she finished speaking, a carrier pigeon flew from the sky. Before it landed, she recognized it as coming from the investigation team.

She caught the carrier pigeon, took out the note, read it, raised her eyebrows and said, "It's such a coincidence that someone wants to buy Prime Minister Liu's life and let us assassinate him. Now Sanhu wants to protect him, and we want to assassinate him again, but It’s really fun.”

After she returned to her room and thought for a while, she wrote a note and asked it to be sent back by the carrier pigeon.

The content on the note was for the investigation team to take over the task, but not to act in a hurry.

After all, although Liu Xiang’s identity has not yet been found out, you don’t need to think too much to know that he is special. Such a person who wants to assassinate him will never give a task to only one organization. They only need to pretend to accept the task and then wait for others. Just organize it.

"Chu Qingyun, I need to use your spy to find out who is behind this person who sent the mission. The sooner the better."

"it is good."

Chu Qingyun had a lot of spies in the capital, and he could quickly detect such things on the surface. It didn't take long for Yingyi to come back from the capital with the news.

"My lord, I found out that he is the second prince's man."

"Second Prince?"

Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun said in unison.

They looked at each other and Chu Qingyun said: "What's more, who is Mr. Liu?"

"He is also from the second prince."

"Okay, I understand, please step back first."

"Yes."

Ye Qingran clapped his hands: "In this case, this is our opportunity. We must catch up with Liu Xiang and save his life, as well as Sanhu. Even if Sanhu doesn't really protect him, he will inevitably If you are accidentally injured, you must find them before the assassins arrive!"

As soon as she said this, Chu Qingyun understood what he meant.

To catch up with Liu Xiang's carriage, the fastest one is not horseback riding, but Chu Qingyun's Qinggong.

Their speed is extremely fast, and the carriage is far inferior to it.

At this time, Liu Xiang and Sanhu had not gone very far, and they were not in a hurry. They just followed them secretly. When they were about to find a place to drink water and eat something to rest, a man suddenly appeared in the grass next to them. A group of assassins.

They held long knives and headed straight towards Liu Xiang and San Hu.

Sanhu remembered his mission in his heart. He couldn't let Liu Xiang die before he found out Liu Xiang's identity, so he rushed over with a low roar.

The fight was so fast that Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun didn’t have time to stop them from behind.

Although Sanhu's martial arts were good, it was difficult to face so many professional assassins, and he was injured in just a short time.

Liu Xiang only knew a little bit of Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, and even under the cover of Sanhu, he was almost cut by the assassin.

Seeing this, Sanhu could only use his body to block the knife for him, even though he was seriously injured.

When Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun felt it, Sanhu was already lying on the ground struggling to get up, but the wound was too deep and the blood was flowing quickly, and he had no strength.

At this time, the assassin was still entering the palace, and Ye Qingran could not take care of him. He could only work with Chu Qingyun to deal with the assassin as quickly as possible before going to check on his injuries.

"Why are you so stupid? What are you doing to protect him from the knife? I said, I won't blame you if the task is not completed. If he is really unlucky and dies, he will die. Why would you risk your own life to protect him?"

Sanhu said with some difficulty: "I...I don't want to live up to your expectations..."

"Stop talking, let me help you stop the bleeding first."

Chu Qingyun was watching the surroundings, and no one cared about Liu Xiang's situation.

Under Sanhu's desperate protection, he only suffered minor injuries. He didn't expect that he would be assassinated on the way back to the capital. When he came, he left his guards at the inn not far ahead. But who could have imagined that he would be in danger before he arrived at the inn.

He was a little angry, and when he turned around, he saw Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun, and naturally he subconsciously connected this matter with them.

"Did you sneak attack on me?"

Chu Qingyun glanced at him: "Hey, we rescued you out of kindness, and I advise you not to be ignorant of good and evil."

After Ye Qingran took care of Sanhu's injuries, he took out a sign from his waist and put it directly in front of Liu Xiang's eyes: "Do you see it clearly?"

"Lingshan?"

Liu Xiang got up from the ground and patted the dust on his body, "That investigation office that appeared out of nowhere in the capital is one of your people?"

"Yes, and someone paid us a lot of money to buy your life. But you have to see clearly that the assassins were not sent by us, we came to save you. If it weren't for us, or if the three tigers didn't risk their lives to save you, you would still be here now. Can you live to say these words?”

In fact, when he saw the sign, Liu Xiang had already believed what they said, but he didn't expect that Ye Qingran would confess directly and reach into the capital without anyone noticing.

"We'll talk about other things later. You should go back to the village to heal your wounds first. Don't go back to the capital in the next few days."

Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun helped them get into the carriage and drove to the village.

She kept Liu Xiang alive, not because she pitied him, but because he belonged to the second prince, and at this time she knew that the second prince wanted to kill him, so there was a natural chance for him to betray the fourth prince and surrender to them.

Besides, Prime Minister Liu should know a lot of things, otherwise the second prince wouldn't be so aggressive in buying assassins to kill him, which would make it even more worth saving.

If we could get the second prince's affairs out of his mouth, wouldn't we have more leverage in the future?

Although we still don't know what kind of conflicts we will have with the second prince at this time, even if we are not enemies, we still have the opportunity to become allies with the information. The more the merrier.

After applying medicine to their wounds, Ye Qingran let Sanhu rest.

Liu Xiang was left behind.

Ye Qingran walked up to him and said, "You should have guessed who is going to kill you, right?"

Liu Xiang shook his head: "I don't know."

"You really don't know? He is already planning to kill you, do you still want to help him hide it?"

"I'm not hiding it, I really don't know."

Ye Qingran narrowed his eyes: "Then think about it carefully. Whose information do you have in your hands now? Whose handle do you have? Whose affairs do you know best? Do you know that he is afraid that you will tell him?"

"Second Prince?"

He blurted out, "But..."

He hesitated a little, which confirmed Ye Qingran's thoughts. She continued: "You don't have to doubt it. It's him. We have already checked. He sent people to various organizations to assassinate you. Think about it. That’s why.”

At this time, Liu Xiang still couldn't believe it was the second prince, so he shook his head: "It's not him. If you really find out about him, you should find out my identity."
