The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

At this time, Xiao Yu was rushing to the front line.

He had already left Jiangzhou City, and suddenly saw a carrier pigeon following behind him, Xiao Yu tiptoed on the horse's back, flew up lightly, and caught the pigeon.

He tied the horse by the tree, and looked at the contents of the letter under the moonlight——

The small script on the letter is upright and timeless, it was written by my brother himself.My brother told him two things. First, let him stop by the military camp when he passed the front line, and find out if Qi Fenghua was in the camp; How many.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, bit his finger, and quickly wrote on the back of the letter——

"Qi Fenghua has been an ordinary lieutenant general in the army for many years. He comes from a noble background and thinks highly of himself. He disobeys General Lin and has several conflicts with General Lin. Since General Lin is the commander-in-chief of the front line, Qi Fenghua can only listen to General Lin. There was a lot of complaints about the order. The two were at odds with each other. Therefore, General Lin did not let him lead troops to fight, but only let him be responsible for the delivery of grain and grass. I have not seen him since I went to Yan. Regarding whether he is in Regarding the barracks, I will investigate carefully when I return to the front line."

Xiao Yu casually wrote the letter and let the pigeon bring it back.

After Xiao Lou received it, he handed it to Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that Qi Fenghua has been very frustrated in the army these years. He disobeyed General Lin and was suppressed by General Lin. His father, the Eighth Prince, ignored the government. He won't let the emperor promote him. After a long time, he will inevitably feel aggrieved. At this time, once someone makes a promise to him to cooperate with Zhao Guo in rebellion, he will naturally be moved."

Xiao Lou nodded: "I don't know if Ye Qi and the others have any clues..."

At this moment, Ye Qi's voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Lou's mind: "The envoys of the Zhao Kingdom made a move, and a group of people suddenly rode horses towards the outside of the city. Should Liu Qiao and I follow?"

In order to communicate with each other in time, Xiao Lou and Ye Qi tied up the heart-to-heart system, and immediately said after hearing this: "Follow up, pay attention to safety, don't be discovered by them, and use the stealth card when necessary."

Ye Qi said: "Okay, we've caught up, and we'll report back when we have news!"

According to Yu Hanjiang's instructions, after Ye Qi and Liu Qiao left the magistrate, they went to watch around the post house. As a result, they watched for less than half an hour, when the door of the post house opened suddenly, and a group of Zhao Guo envoys rode quickly Headed out of the city.

It was already three o'clock in the morning.

The night is as cool as water, the moon hangs high, and the surroundings are so quiet that only the sound of horseshoes is left.

Ye Qi and Liu Qiao looked at each other, and quickly activated their card skills to chase after the group of people, reporting the direction to Xiao Lou while following them. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang also quickly rode out of the city on fast horses to meet them.

Zhao Guo's envoys moved like the wind.

But Liu Qiao's "Light as a Swallow" can leap with the help of trees. There are trees everywhere outside Jiangzhou City. She shuttles between the trees, like an ancient master of qinggong.

Ye Qi's [Teleportation] card can teleport 50 meters at a time. After Liu Qiao finds a good landing point, he can teleport directly to the tree.

One of them flew on the tree, and the other followed under the tree, keeping a distance of about 50 meters from Zhao Guo's envoy group.

It was windy at night, and Liu Qiao was thin and light. He was wearing black clothes and jumping on the tree, which did not arouse the vigilance of Zhao Guo's envoys.Ye Qi also found a black suit and put it on, and covered his face with a black cloth in a serious manner.

Soon, the two followed the messenger group out of the city.

Ye Qi and Liu Qiao didn't dare to act rashly, so they could only track and report to Xiao Lou with a heart-to-heart channel.

Half an hour later, the Zhao Guo envoys arrived at the mountain outside the city.

There is a temple on the mountain outside Jiangzhou City. The ancient temple located in the mountain looks very quiet at night. The group of envoys stopped near the ancient temple. Ye Qi and Liu Qiao climbed the tree together. Put on the invisibility cloak.

There is a Wangqing spring near the ancient temple. By the spring, two tall men are standing opposite each other.

One of them was a handsome man in white, with a piece of green and transparent jade hanging around his waist, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a smile in his eyes. Under the moonlight, he was dressed in a white gown like a fairy descending from the earth, his temperament was beyond dust.

The young man in black standing opposite him had handsome features, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Ye Qi suddenly said in his mind: "This man in black looks a lot like a young prince, he is Qi Fenghua, right?!"

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were on their way here, and when they heard this, they immediately said to Ye Qi: "Stay still, listen to what they are saying, be careful to hide them with the invisibility cloak, and don't disturb them."

Ye Qi continued to prick up his ears to eavesdrop.

Qi Fenghua frowned and said, "Your Highness, when are you going to act?"

The second prince chuckled lightly and said, "Brother Qi, don't worry, poisoning the prince at the wedding banquet is very risky, and I need to plan carefully. It is necessary to ensure a successful one, so that the prince will die without anyone noticing, and To deal with the aftermath, find a 'murderer' who is willing to help me take the blame and settle the matter, so that my father will not suspect me, so that I can take over as the crown prince logically."

Qi Fenghua nodded: "There are still a few months before your wedding with Princess Shu'an, I hope the second prince will get ready soon."

The second prince narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't let him sit in the prince's position for too long."

Qi Fenghua was silent for a moment, took out an exquisite bottle from his arms, and said: "This is the kind of poison I mentioned in the letter. It is a medicine powder developed by a master poisoner I know. The food is colorless and tasteless, as long as you put a small spoonful into the food or drink, the other party will never be able to detect it, and it is enough to poison dozens of people you want to deal with."

The second prince took it with a smile: "Thank you."

Qi Fenghua said: "After the matter is completed, don't forget our agreement."

The second prince nodded: "Of course. Brother Qi helped me ascend the throne, and I will help Brother Qi fulfill his long-cherished wish. In the future, you and I will share this prosperous world, and Qi and Zhao will form an alliance forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Qi Fenghua cupped his fists at him: "I shouldn't stay in Jiangzhou for a long time, there will be a period later."

Seeing that Qi Fenghua was about to go down the mountain and escape, Ye Qi immediately called Xiao Lou through the telepathy channel: "Qi Fenghua has gone down the mountain, Liu Qiao and I might not be able to catch him!"

Xiao Loudao: "Don't worry, Han Jiang and I have already arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Qi Fenghua can't fly with his wings. You continue to stare at the second prince."

Ye Qi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to monitor.

After Qi Fenghua left, the second prince blew the bamboo flute on his waist, and the group of messengers ran in and knelt down in unison: "See Your Highness!"

The second prince raised his hand, motioning for them to get up.

A man said: "Your Highness summoned his subordinates, what orders do you have?"

The second prince shook his fan and said with a smile: "This time I sneaked into Daqi secretly. Apart from taking medicine with someone, I actually wanted to see what the Princess of the Wangfu, whom my father proposed to marry me, looked like. Now that the purpose is already If it is achieved, we should go back as soon as possible, so as not to arouse suspicion."

The messenger said: "But we left suddenly, isn't this against the rules?"

The second prince said indifferently: "You leave a letter, saying that Zhao's domestic affairs are busy, so please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality these few days. From now on, the second prince will visit in person."

He waved his hand and got on his horse: "Let's go."

Several messengers immediately followed him down the mountain from the other side.

At this time, under the mountain.

Yu Hanjiang brought a group of shadow guards over and surrounded Qingshan.

The token His Majesty gave him finally came in handy.The shadow guards saw the token as if seeing His Majesty, and obeyed Yu Hanjiang's orders without hesitation. There were dozens of shadow guards with high martial arts skills.

When Qi Fenghua came down from the mountain, he sensed something was wrong.

He pricked up his ears and looked around vigilantly.

The surrounding area was terribly quiet, and the trees formed clusters of black shadows under the moonlight, and the shadows on the ground opened their teeth and claws, like ghosts dancing.

On a tree not far away, there was a long white silk hanging, on which seemed to be a woman in white clothes, floating back and forth with the wind.

This scene reminded him of his sister hanging on the tree in the palace...

Qi Fenghua suddenly became clever, and his body froze like a statue instantly. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone the theory that ghosts took their lives. When he saw the white shadow hanging on the tree, he immediately drew his sword from his waist, flew over, and cut the white shadow with his sword. Ling, slashing at the white shadow, shouted sharply: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?!"

As the white silk broke, the "woman in white" who fell on the ground revealed her true colors——

It is a doll made of white cloth.

Qi Fenghua was horrified and realized that he had been fooled.

At this moment, a giant net fell from the sky, almost covering him completely.

Fortunately, Qi Fenghua reacted quickly enough and immediately flew up the tree.However, countless black shadows suddenly appeared around him, and the sword light was like white snow, covering him in an instant, even though he was very skilled in martial arts, he was forced to fall to the ground.

Another huge net was grabbed by several men in black with excellent lightness skills, and surrounded him!

There are more and more fine nets, these men in black seem to have formed some kind of formation, Qi Fenghua has nowhere to escape, struggling for a while, and finally captured by eight men in black together!

The surroundings suddenly lit up with flames, causing Qi Fenghua to narrow his eyes.

I saw that this group of men in black were holding torches in their hands, and many others were carrying bows and arrows, and the sharp arrows were aimed at him at the same time.

A man and a woman came out from the crowd.

The man was tall and handsome; the woman was wearing a blue cloak, tall and tall under the moonlight, with extraordinary temperament.

"Master Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you." Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice and said slowly, "Aren't you supposed to be on the front line? Why did you appear in Jiangzhou?"

Qi Fenghua pretended to be calm and said: "Who are you, what nonsense are you talking about? My name is Qi Zhao, and I am a hunter on the mountain. I went down to hunt but was caught by you inexplicably. Let me go! You misidentified the person."

"Really?" Yu Hanjiang asked coldly, "Master Qi's appearance is [-]% similar to that of the prince. I am the magistrate of Jiangzhou. In order to investigate a murder case, I have had a lot of contacts with the prince. I should not admit my mistake. Besides, Master Qi Didn't you just meet the second prince of Zhao Guo? The second prince has a noble status, how could he meet a hunter?"

"..." Qi Fenghua's face was ashen.

"Just now, my husband and I made a white doll and hung it on a tree. I didn't expect Young Master Qi to react so violently. When he saw this scene, he immediately flew over and cut off the white silk with a sword. I don't know why?" Xiao Lou said with a smile.

"..." Qi Fenghua wanted to tear his eyes apart, wishing he could tear the net apart. However, the net that trapped him seemed to be made of special materials, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it.

Yu Hanjiang looked at him coldly and said, "Miss Wangfu, Qi Yiyao, your own sister was killed by you, right?"

Qi Fenghua clenched his teeth and refused to answer.

Yu Hanjiang slightly raised his eyebrows, and winked at the shadow guard: "Search."

Two shadow guards stepped forward and quickly searched his pockets——

Sure enough, poison was found.

It was the poison he gave to the second prince just now, and perhaps it was also the tool he used to poison his younger sister Qi Yiyao!

Xiao Lou took the medicine bottle, took a piece of cloth, spread it in his palm, poured out the medicine powder and observed it carefully.This medicine powder looks like transparent rock sugar powder, it must be colorless and tasteless when mixed into food, and it is not easy to be noticed——

Many clear memories suddenly came to my mind.

Back then, in the serial poisoning case in the capital, it was this powder that my father found.

Later, his father died of this kind of poison, and his mother knew that the other party was a master poisoner, so she took Xiao Lou and Xiao Yu brothers and fled the capital overnight, and even made the two sons pretend to be little girls to avoid the murderer's pursuit and revenge .

Thinking of his childhood experience, Xiao Lou couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

The poison actually appeared again.

Follow Qi Fenghua, maybe you can find the murderer who poisoned your father back then!

Seeing Xiao Lou's expression, Yu Hanjiang immediately wanted to understand the reason for his ugly complexion. Yu Hanjiang gently embraced Xiao Lou's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, don't worry, since everyone has stolen money now, we can always find some clues." .Following this poisonous powder, we may be able to uncover the secrets of the rebel forces in the capital."

He looked at Qi Fenghua coldly, and waved to the shadow guard behind him: "Take it away!"

Qi Fenghua, who was escorted to the magistrate, looked extremely ugly.

He never expected that when he came to meet the second prince late at night, he was caught by the prefect of Jiangzhou who was waiting for a rabbit at the foot of the mountain!
