Soon the boatman got better and told everything. Only then did Qi Yue understand the situation at that time.

The gentle man whom the boatman said was Qu Wei.

The day before yesterday, before dawn, a few fierce-looking people came here with Qu Wei, saying they wanted to go to Chishui Wu, but the boatman refused.

In the end, Qu Wei said to just grab it, since no one saw it so early in the morning.

As a result, those few people robbed the boat and beat up the store owner.

Later, the shopkeeper woke up with a fan in his arms.

He remembered that he had met Qu Wei before, and remembered that there was someone walking with him, so he waited on the shore every day, hoping to have a chance to find the person.

Unexpectedly, he really had to wait for Qi Yue.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Qu Wei's life is not in danger for the time being.

He deliberately let those people steal the boat and put the fan in the owner's arms. He must have wanted to send a message.

She was eager to know if Qu Wei left any clues on the fan, but the boatman held the fan tightly without letting go.

"You have to lose the boat before I can give you the fan."

Qi Yue was also helpless. Did she look like a person without money?

She quickly took out three hundred taels of silver notes from her arms and handed them to the boatman.

"Old man, do you think these three hundred taels are enough to pay for your boat?"

When the boatman saw it, his eyebrows almost flew up with joy.

"Enough, absolutely enough."

He quickly threw the fan over and snatched the banknote.

Qi Yue didn't bother with him and took the fan to check quickly.

Sure enough, we found some small holes poked with some kind of sharp object on the fan surface.

Looking at the light, I saw it was a line of words.

[Qingnan Zun wants to harm you, don’t save him. 】

Qi Yue simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When did this Qu Wei stop being so cunning?

This made it clear to the person who kidnapped him. How could she not save him?

After putting away the fan, Qi Yue estimated the distance and figured out that Qingnan Zun was no longer in Chishui Wu, so he decided to change the route.

Besides, chasing along the way like this is not a good idea. She plans to go to Donggao first to wait for work.

From Fuzhou to the Donggao border, it spans more than ten states and counties. The mountains are high and the roads are long, which makes Qi Yue's journey difficult.

It took more than ten days to reach Dengzhou in the east.

After leaving Dengzhou and walking further east, you will reach Donggao.

The only problem now is that the border between Beiyuan and Donggao is too long. She doesn't know which way Qingnan Zun will enter Donggao, otherwise she can attack halfway and rescue Qu Wei.

If she couldn't do this, she would have to go to Qingnan Zun's base camp to wait for someone.

But before that she stopped in Dengzhou.

One is to rest for a day to recuperate, and the other is to find a reliable caravan and follow them into Donggao.

In order to move smoothly, she also did some homework, such as understanding various customs of Donggao people, so that she would not be recognized as soon as she entered Donggao.

After everything was ready, the caravan was also found.

Qi Yue dressed up as a young businessman and followed the caravan to Donggao Yanjing.

Yanjing is the location of Donggao Imperial City, and its construction is very grand and spectacular.

The architecture in the city is very strange. The houses here have steps of different heights.

The lowest level is only level one, but there are also level two, level three, and the highest level is actually level eight.

After asking people in the caravan, I found out that different steps represent different ranks and wealth.

The bigger the official, the more money, and the higher the level.

There was a young man in the caravan. Seeing that it was her first time here, he pointed her in the direction of the imperial city.

"Look, that's the Imperial City, with nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!"

Qi Yue looked up.

Good guy!

The imperial city stands like a mountain above people's heads!

This Emperor Dong Gao is quite capable. Standing on the steps, you can see the ant-like people below. Doesn't he have a sense of superiority?

In addition, such a high step can be regarded as a defensive measure!

If someone wanted to enter the palace and assassinate an emperor, wouldn't it be almost tiring to climb up?

I don’t know what to do when all the officials in Donggao go to court?

Climbing up and down every day is tiring.

Considering that after rescuing Qu Wei, she still had to follow the caravan back to Beiyuan, Qi Yue did not leave the caravan, but went to Dongcheng to stay together.

The environment here is not very good, with businessmen coming and going, but it is also an excellent hiding place.

After everything was ready, Qi Yue went to the busiest teahouse in the city without stopping.

This place is a mixed bag of good and bad, and is often the best place to get information.

It didn't take much effort for Qi Yue to find out clearly.

This Qingnanzun did many bad things, and even when the people of Donggao mentioned him, they were either disgusted or afraid.

But it is said that he is coming back recently, and many people in the teahouse are talking about him.

"I really hope he doesn't come back again."

"Whether we come back or not is not up to us. If we don't hear him saying this, his life is in danger!"

"I don't know what he did this time. Maybe he will instigate the Fox King to fight again."

"I'm not afraid of a war. They can't hit us anyway. I'm just afraid they'll collect money again!"

"..."

Qingnan Zun is really coming back!

This time Qi Yue was completely relieved.

But she didn't plan to sit idle while waiting for someone.

Now that everyone has come to Yanjing, they have to leave something behind.

She planned to stir things up in Yanjing before Qingnan Zun came back, so that she could take advantage of the chaos to save people and be more confident.

I was thinking about what to do, whether to kill people and set fire, or to collect some gold, silver and jewels and send them to the space. Suddenly I saw two familiar people entering the teahouse mysteriously. They looked around and walked straight to the northeast corner. of a man wearing a black hat at the table.

These two people are Dong Gao who came with the caravan this time, and they are also from Beiyuan.

The first time Qi Yue noticed them was when they were eating on the road.

At that time, one of the men gave the other man some meat in the bowl. Not to mention how weird the situation was.

She took a closer look and realized that the two people were a couple, but the woman was also dressed as a man, matching the man's brotherhood.

The man is called Zhong Qian and the woman is called Zhong Queen.

She originally thought that these two people were just doing business and dressing up for convenience, but now it seems that is not the case at all.

Qi Yue couldn't help but become curious when she saw the three people whispering something, with excitement and anger on their faces.

It's just that it was so noisy in the teahouse and they were so far apart that she couldn't hear anything.

She simply pretended to join in the fun and sat down on the table close to the couple with a tea cup.

I happened to hear the man in the black hat talking to the couple.

"Your father will face the challenge of two wolves tonight. It's best to take action before then, otherwise I'm worried that he won't survive tonight."

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll meet at the South Gate during the garrison."

What is the challenge of facing the wolf? Is it an underground colosseum?

Are these two people here looking for their father?

I have long heard that the underground Colosseum in Donggao is very dangerous, where humans and animals fight, but I didn't expect to encounter it today?

Just as Qi Yue was about to go over and strike up a conversation, she heard a burst of people outside the teahouse.

"I'm coming!"

"Come and see, it's coming!"

Everyone in the teahouse got up and rushed to the balcony, and the two couples followed.

Qi Yue was curious and approached.
