It was also night, but the moonlight outside the city was brighter and brighter.
In a lonely and dilapidated inn by the forest, Qi Shaoling was sitting by the bed, looking at the letter and hidden weapon that Fu Yunzhi entrusted in his hand, his expression became more and more serious.
He clearly remembered yesterday that the hidden weapon used by his savior - Duan Muling was the dart sent by Fu Yunzhi in his hand.
The door was opened, and Duanmu Ling walked in with a carefree voice: "I went to the city to buy some snacks, do you want to eat together?"
"Is this fun? Hongshoutao."
Qi Shaoling's original tone was very cold, but now he even spoke with icy scum.
Duanmuling was stunned, looked at the letter and hidden weapon in Qi Shaoling's hand, smiled and said: "If I hadn't been in a hurry to save you last night, I don't think I would have revealed my identity so quickly."
Shrugging his shoulders, Duanmuling sat next to Qi Shaoling, handed the food in his hand to Qi Shaoling and said, "Eat first."
Qi Shaoling didn't take the food, but walked to the door with his injured body.
"For the sake of saving me, I will not expose you. From then on, we will not owe each other, but if you cause trouble in the capital, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Duanmu smiled with great aura: "Yo, Inspector Qi has such a face of a righteous man, which scares me so much. Why, if I didn't save you, you will take me back and imprison me?"
Qi Shaoling said: "Stealing is against the law."
"Illegal? Then what the Duanmu family did is legal? If you like defending justice so much, why didn't you come and save us and other slaves when they bullied us?"
"Have I ever hurt anyone, killed someone or set it on fire? I only bought this red birthday peach to save myself. Is there a law that people can't defend themselves? If I obeyed and let Duanmu's family practice Helan magic skills, Is that right?"
Qi Shaoling supported the door frame with both hands, but because his legs were seriously injured, he couldn't cross the threshold no matter what.
Duan Muling crossed his arms and said, "Director Qi, with your current body, I guarantee that you will faint immediately when you walk out of this hotel."
Qi Shaoling sighed, sat back at the table and said, "I don't completely deny what you did, but don't do it again next time."
Duanmuling stuffed the food to Qi Shaoling and said, "It might be."
"..."
Duanmu Ling's cheeks and eye corners were red from excitement, but in the next second he put on a playful smile and said, "Unless you take me back to your home to supervise day and night, I don't know what I will do. "
Qi Shaoling said: "You no longer need to be a popular birthday peach."
Duanmu Ling smiled, showing his white teeth, and said: "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. I've tasted the sweetness of getting something for nothing before, so I don't want to earn taels honestly. It’s almost here, it must be a very lively day.”
"Duanmu Ling!"
"So if you take me back to your house, it will be solved?"
Qi Shaoling frowned and said, "What are your plans?"
Duanmu Ling put a tripod on Qi Shaoling's knee and said, "My goal is you. I like you, and I want to get the moon first, can't I?"
Qi Shaoling swung that troubled leg away: "Stop making trouble."
"You think I'm joking?"
Qi Shaoling looked at Duanmuling's half-smile face, and suddenly felt that he couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.
Duanmu Ling leaned closer to Qi Shaoling's face and said, "Take me back to your house, isn't it just a prisoner in disguise? It's just a change of place. Let's regard it as the benefit of the savior."
"Or... you dare not?"
Qi Shaoling thought to himself that it would be better to enclose the red birthday peaches under his jurisdiction before offering sacrifices, and said, "Then you will stay here for a while."
"Okay! Thank you Supervisor Qi for taking me in!" Duanmuling clasped her fists and said.
Hmph, temporary stay?Not only do I intend to live forever, but I also plan to be the master of your house.
Duanmuling was immersed in his fantasy about the future and could not extricate himself, exuding a strange aura all over his body.Qi Shaoling didn't want to sit too close to Duanmuling, went to the window and rubbed his swollen temples, but accidentally saw a small road next to the inn, a group of people in white were on their way.
Seeing that Qi Shaoling seemed to be paying attention to something, Duanmu Ling also went to the window to look.
"Huh? Those people are from Shahan Kingdom! They are dressed so unluckily, what are they doing..." Duanmuling muttered, then jumped out of the window and walked up to one of the men in white to strike up a conversation.
After talking with the man in white for a while, Duanmuling climbed the window and went back to the room.
Qi Shaoling: ...
Is it that troublesome to walk through the door?Is this an occupational disease?
Duanmu Ling said: "Those people are really Shahan people. They came here from Shahan Emperor's capital. It is said that they are to report the funeral to our emperor."
"funeral?"
"King Shahan is dead."

In the Linxi Inn in the imperial city, Qi Xiao and Fu Yunzhi stood in the dark corridor, neither of them spoke.
The sound of footsteps still didn't stop. Qi Xiao wanted to investigate, but when he thought that there was Fu Yunzhi by his side, and it was inconvenient for him to leave, he stood still.
Fu Yunzhi tugged on La Qixiao's sleeve.
"what happened?"
Qi Xiao followed Fu Yunzhi's line of sight, and saw a blurred white shadow at the end of the corridor.
Qi Xiao frowned. Normally, he would have wanted to find out, but he didn't want to take Fu Yunzhi's risk. After all, such things should be believed.
"Let's go back to the room first. When I went to inspect just now, Damu's lieutenant Shali told me that this kind of situation happens almost every night, but it won't last long."
The two sat on the bed and waited silently.It didn't know how long it took before the sound of footsteps coming from nowhere disappeared.
Qi Xiao looked around and said, "It should have passed."
When Fu Yunzhi got up, the first thing he did was to light the candles.
"Ok?"
Qi Xiao walked up to Fu Yunzhi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This candle won't light."
The two of them couldn't see the surroundings clearly in the dark, so Qi Xiao said, "Forget it, let's go downstairs to find other people, and ask the innkeeper for some new candles."
After the two went downstairs, they saw that the main hall of the inn had been brightened again. It seemed that new candles had been replaced, and the innkeeper was distributing new candles.
The main hall is crowded with people, it seems that people from the messenger group gathered in the main hall to receive new candles.Qi Xiao walked up to Shali and asked, "Were you all in your room when something strange happened just now?"
Sally said: "Yes, because there are many unclean things in the corridor."
Qi Xiao thought of the white shadow he saw in the corridor.
Shali continued: "Lang Xuanguo finally believes that this inn is weird, right? We can pack our luggage and live outside the city tonight."
Qi Xiao was at a loss for words, and wanted to dissuade him but didn't know what to say.But at this time, a group of Shahan people in white clothes suddenly came outside the inn.
One of the men in white said loudly: "The attendant of King Shahan, please see General Damu."
Sally hurried up to greet her and asked, "Wearing this dress, you... are here to announce the funeral?"
The man in white said: "Yes, the king has returned to Tataria's side. It's a fever, and the imperial doctors have tried their best..."
The man in white's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was suppressing his grief.
"The king...he..." Sally was shocked.
The rest of the people, including King Shahan's Uncle Wang, who is the leader of the envoy group this time - Damu was also shocked when he heard what the man in white said, followed by sadness and pain.
Fu Yunzhi and Qi Xiao could feel that the grief of the Shahan people was sincere grief, and everyone knew that King Shahan was deeply loved by the people.
Someone said: "The king is sick...could it be, could it be the ghost of the king who came to us..."
Damu immediately said sharply: "Impossible, the king is the god of war, the son of the light, the king should return to Tataria instead of dying in the world."
After finishing speaking, Damu turned his head and said to Fu Yunzhi and Qi Xiao: "The candles have been extinguished, and they can no longer be lit. It is recorded in ancient books that this is the anger of Tataria. He gave us the punishment of darkness, maybe it is a punishment." Let's let such a good king die... We really can't stay any longer."
"idiot."
Damu looked at Fu Yunzhi who had been observing with a candle, and slightly raised his voice, "What did you say?"
Damu has been on the battlefield for a long time, his words and deeds are full of momentum, not angry but powerful.Coupled with Damu's burly figure and tough facial features, his chin is also covered with a masculine beard, which makes him look even more oppressive.
Qi Xiao frowned, stood closer to Fu Yunzhi and said in a low voice, "Shahan people are not emotionally stable right now, please restrain your words."
Fu Yunzhi glanced at Qi Xiao, and said in a slightly slower tone: "I said you were blinded by your beliefs."
Damu raised his eyebrows, as if he was waiting for Fu Yunzhi's next words.
Fu Yunzhi said: "Those who are obsessed with the authorities, you all think that it is Tataria's incompleteness, so you don't even have the time to check these candles."
Qi Xiao asked, "Is there something wrong with these candles?"
"Yes, look carefully at the wicks of these candles, it's been broken, cut off some parts, and the people who did it seem to be very accurate, the wicks are completely broken during the night, so the candles go out .I think all candles have the same length of wick, so they go out at the same time."
Shali took the candle in Fu Yunzhi's hand and looked at it carefully, then took another candle to compare the length of the wick, and then said to Damu: "General, this man doesn't seem to be lying."
Damu pondered for a while before saying: "Since it's artificial, can I understand that Langxuan Kingdom doesn't welcome us? It seems that someone wants to drive us away?"
Fu Yunzhi said: "General Damu is too arbitrary. None of us know the true face of the person behind this. Please also give Langxuan a little time from General Damu, and allow us to send troops to this inn to assist in the investigation. Take care of this."
"Three days."
Damu said: "Please tell your king that Sha Han is bereaved. We will rush back to attend the funeral in three days. If we cannot attend the memorial service, please forgive me. Therefore, we hope to get an explanation within three days."
"Tsk." Fu Yunzhi pulled Qi Xiao, turned around and left.
Not being able to attend the memorial ceremony is a trivial matter, but if Sha Han can't get an explanation, the follow-up will be a diplomatic breakdown between Sha Han and Langxuan.Not to mention that Sha Han's group of "wolves" has no leader now, I'm afraid they will go to extremes, and it will be out of control by then.
After returning to the room, Qi Xiao asked, "Three days...can it work?"
Fu Yunzhi shook his folding fan and said, "Since it's not a ghost but a human being with two feet, there must be a way. You can walk with me."
"where to?"
"Fu Fu, find my brother-in-law Zhou Yiqing, I want to get some things with him, a doctor."
Qi Xiao thought, Yunzhi is so smart, there must be no problem.
The author has something to say:
My previous typesetting seems to be a bit troublesome for people who use the app, it is too crowded, so I tried a new typesetting, writing a paragraph with a blank line, although I am not used to it...
In a lonely and dilapidated inn by the forest, Qi Shaoling was sitting by the bed, looking at the letter and hidden weapon that Fu Yunzhi entrusted in his hand, his expression became more and more serious.
