Qi You walked out of the hall, people were chatting with each other, but no one noticed him.

Dark clouds billowed in the sky in the distance, and seeing that the torrential rain was approaching, Qi You breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace.

In order to deceive others, he didn't take out the map from his sleeve, but kept thinking about Xiao Langyin's advice over and over in his mind, walked around the eaves of the corridor, and walked along the leftmost path.

This road is sparsely populated, and it looks very desolate at first glance.

The orchestral sound in the main hall gradually faded, and Qi You suddenly saw a figure of a man not far away, and couldn't help but stop.

Dressed in strong clothes and agile, he looked like a ghost against the gloomy sky.

It was the man who was about to perform swordsmanship in the palace just now.

It is also the assassin who should have acted at this time in the original book, but failed because of Qi You's interruption.

Qi You couldn't help holding his breath, and silently followed behind him through two pillars.

Thunder rumbled across the sky, and the assassin was in a hurry, staying away from the palace, obviously wanting to do something unknown.

But he is very low-key and extremely smart. He does things unassumingly and even picks the most exciting time to come out.

Except for Qi You, no one would suspect him, nor would he know that he came here to assassinate His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Qi You was speechless. How many enemies does the tyrant have? Every day, he sees more assassins than ministers.

He was about to run away, and he couldn't let him run away at ease.

Qi You cursed in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop at all. After all, the assassin knew that he was in the dark, and the assassin had no defense against him, so the situation was extremely favorable.

Qi You couldn't help thinking that if he helped Yong Chi find out who was behind the scenes before he escaped, he would be worthy of getting acquainted with him...

Seeing that there was no one around, the assassin released a carrier pigeon from his bosom, then quickly turned and left, his figure lost in the heavy sky.

The pigeon flapped its wings and circled twice, stopped on the ridge and combed its feathers with its beak, presumably because of the gloomy sky, it was also a little scared.

The letter paper rolled into a thin tube wrapped around the pigeon's hind legs is clear and eye-catching, as if it is tempting Qi You to catch it.

Qi You stopped, and finally couldn't help it, took out the slingshot he was carrying in his arms, aimed at the projectile, squinted and shot at the carrier pigeon.

When the pigeon landed, Qi You quickly stepped forward and unfolded the letter paper.

The paper is densely packed, but it is not words, but codes similar to oracle bone inscriptions. Qi You looked at the question marks in his head.

After pondering for a while, Qi You's eyes stopped on the inscription. In the lower left corner of the letter, there was a crescent-shaped family crest.

The family emblem is exquisite and exquisite, and it must belong to a famous family.

Whose family crest is this?Which family would deliberately assassinate Yongchi?

Qi You's pace slowed down.

It's fine if you don't see it, since you already have clues in your hands, Qi You can't help but sit idly by.

It is not too sorry for the tyrant to uproot the thorns before leaving.

Jiang Chen is arresting the assassin, how about handing over this letter to him for a thorough investigation?

In short, he just came out, and no one knew that he was going to escape.

Qi You weighed it to convince himself, and decided to hand over the letter to Jiang Chen.The matter is urgent, Qi You still wants to say hello to Xiao Langyin first, the east gate is very close to here, and there is no delay in returning, lest Xiao Langyin wait anxiously.

The sky became more and more gloomy, and the wind howled, blowing the pine tops whistling.The unique sweltering heat before the heavy rain made people feel sticky all over, Qi You frowned and ran towards Dongmen Taiji.

There is a man in light fur and black boots standing on the platform with a lamp. It is Xiao Langyin.

Qi You ran to his side.

Xiao Lang looked at him with a smile: "Ah You, happy birthday, I haven't given you a birthday gift yet."

Qi You nodded and said anxiously: "I want to go back and go to the pier with you."

Xiao Langyin hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back: "Do you think this is the Imperial College, where you can come and go?"

"Your Majesty is already drunk." Qi You pointed to the north side: "I'm not going to the palace, I'm going to the guard's office, it's only time for a cup of tea."

Xiao Langyin squinted his eyes: "Why did you go to the guardhouse?"

"Do you remember the man who was going to offer swordsmanship at the banquet? He is an assassin, and he wants to assassinate His Majesty tonight." Qi You said, "But he failed, and I intercepted a pigeon that was released just now. It should be a message."

Xiao Langyin looked at him suddenly, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Then how did you know?"

Qi You couldn't say that he read it from the original book, so he could only falter and say: "In short, I have clues and evidence, so I will tell Jiang Chen at the guard station."

Xiao Lang paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Why bother to look far away, it's the same for me."

Qi You moved his fingers, trying to reach for the paper in his sleeve, but he stopped halfway.

The person behind the assassination is still hiding in the dark.

Who would it be?

Qi You glanced at Xiao Langyin who was standing under the shadow of the eaves, smiled casually and said, "Jiang Chen is in charge of the birthday banquet, he must know the situation better, you should wait for me for a while."

"Ah You." Xiao Langyin's smile suddenly became ambiguous: "Didn't you already decide to leave the capital? Why are you still worried about His Majesty's safety?"

Qi You paused.

"Your Majesty Wan Cheng, some people would sacrifice their lives for him. He has no shortage of protection. And you, who will really protect you?" Xiao Langyin lowered his voice and said slowly: "You should worry about yourself, don't Can't figure it out."

Qi You remained silent, and at this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps not far away.

"They are members of Jin Yiwei, not under my jurisdiction, and they are searching everywhere for clues to the assassins of the hunting ground." Xiao Langyin looked at Qi You and said, "This place is remote, and you appear at this very moment, and they have no way to explain it. Also, you are holding a letter and insisting that the letter was written by an assassin, how do you know? How do you make Jiang Chen believe you?"

A series of aggressive questions caught Qi You slightly off guard.

Qi You pondered for a long while, still unwilling to run away: "After all, I bumped into this matter, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, and it's hard to feel at ease when I escape."

After saying a few words, the sound of chaotic footsteps got closer and closer, Qi You turned to look sideways, and several guards with knives actually blocked the east gate at this moment, prohibiting entry and exit.

Qi You felt bad, turned his head and said in a low voice: "I'll go to the north gate, hand over this letter and let you go."

The north gate is not far from here, but this gate is often used to transport ingredients and fruits for the palace, so there are few people and the supervision is relatively lax.

It takes at most half an hour to go back and forth from here.

"Your Majesty is holding a banquet today, what if the north gate is also tightly guarded?" Xiao Langyin looked at him: "Since we escaped successfully, why should we take the risk to go back?"

Qi You glanced at the guard not far away who was holding a knife on his waist and was waiting in full force: "There have been frequent accidents in the palace recently, and the evidence may only be in my hands. I always have to go back."

"Suddenly changed my mind." Xiao Langyin said depressedly: "We originally agreed."

Qi You was silent.

Xiao Langyin continued: "Regardless of whether you go back or not, His Majesty is sure to be safe, and if you meet him during this trip, it must be a disaster."

"No." Qi You said with a hoarse voice: "It's okay to see His Majesty, he... was drunk by me, and didn't know anything about it."

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, Qi You couldn't see Xiao Langyin's expression clearly, and it took a long time before he heard a sentence: "Have you thought about it?"

Qi You nodded, and was about to walk towards the north gate.

Suddenly someone shouted from behind: "Ah You!"
