Not long after Shen Haozhe went to Xiaocheng, Helian Yuya once again found that Cang Lan had disappeared, and this time, it was not as simple as a trip.

"Hi Ye Qingling!"

Focusing on dealing with Shen Haozhe, he was not very wary of Qingling, but was taken advantage of, He Lianyu gritted his teeth, and circled the hall while holding the knife handle.

Mi Ke didn't dare to show his anger, he followed the emperor out of the palace and was ordered to take care of the inn first, and he didn't receive the letter from Cang Lan until three days later.Looking at it now, this letter, which stated that it would be handed over to the right prime minister, does not contain any good news.

Helian Yuya walked around the hall, and the depression in his body finally calmed down a little bit, how to deal with Qingling is the second priority.That hateful prodigal emperor left without saying goodbye?Don't you think about yourself at all? !He must never let him just walk away like that!

"Write a letter to Shen Haozhe, telling you what you know...wait..."

Picking up Cang Lan's letter and putting it down again, Helian Yuya quickly went through the situation in each country,

"Let Sangji write a letter to King Beiling..."

The civil strife in Nanhui is about to subside. With the support of Helian's old troops headed by Sangji, King Hui's narrow victory is imminent.Left Prime Minister Ge Tong's vitality has been seriously injured, and now it's time to reverse the situation in Nanhui.

Helian Yuya came to a conclusion, and said,

"Are there traces of the ghost clan around Feng Yansheng?"

It seems that the master's anger will not be spilled on himself, Mi Ke secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and immediately replied,

"No return."

It is said that during the battle with Linxue in the dense forest, some ghost clan took advantage of the chaos to approach Feng Yancheng, and most of the ghost clan who dealt with him was undoubtedly Zetamar.But they are all people who take advantage of the word first, but they are using each other, and it is impossible for Zetamar to take the risk to come to the rescue.

Mi Ke hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help saying,

"Maybe the people around me misunderstood it?"

"Misunderstanding?"

Helian snorted coldly, thinking about the previous situation, of course he wouldn't think that Zetamar came here for Feng Yansheng, and must have exchanged some news. If there is confusion, it is very possible to rescue Feng Yancheng by the way.

"This person hides very deeply, and the imperial doctor who killed himself has nothing to do with him."

I haven't figured out what Zetamar is planning. I wanted to keep Feng Yansheng to lure out the ghost clan, but I haven't seen him for a long time.

"Since that ghost clan no longer appears, it's useless to keep Feng Yancheng, it's about time to clean it up, and let Sangji send Feng Yancheng a secret letter..."

Helian Yuya suddenly planned to get rid of Feng Yancheng, but Cang Lan naturally knew nothing about it.

Cang Lan's bodyguards served as Qingling's followers, plus Qingling's own followers, the convoy of nearly a hundred people had already left the border of the country.Passing through the small country of Zhu, Qingling sent people to show the customs clearance documents, and stopped the motorcade at the border to rest.

The severe cold in the North has delayed the arrival of spring, and even the number of people is much less. There are almost only white snow and vast permafrost along the way.

Cang Lan is most afraid of the cold, but he can't stay in the carriage now.

He dyed his hair black and tied it up, with a belt that symbolized his identity as a guard around his forehead, and changed into a navy blue dress. Not to mention the casual look, at least he was dressed like a guard.He wiped the blade of the sword again and again, glanced at Xing Ye, and wanted to pass his sword again, and wiped it indiscriminately, which was extremely boring.

At the front of the convoy, Liao Luoxue was talking to someone in the carriage, opened the curtain, glanced at Cang Lan and let it go again.

After a while, a young man got out of the car, walked straight to this side, stopped in front of Cang Lan, and said arrogantly,

"Your Highness has a body of gold, the journey has been tiring these days, you can't just use dry food, you go hunt some wild game!"

Winter has not yet completely passed, and asking people to hunt in such a barren season is definitely finding fault.

Moreover, the voice of the person who spoke was not low, most of the people around were Cang Lan's bodyguards, and they all stared at him immediately after hearing the words.This young man is a warrior sent by the businessman to 'greet' Qingling, he pretends to be himself in a majestic manner, with a smirk, waiting for Cang Lan to reply.

Facing the sinister smiling face, Cang Lan raised her eyebrows, she didn't want to pay attention, Xing Ye had already said,

"Master... Hao guards are not followers."

"What's the difference?"

The young man sneered, and lowered his hand, the short knife was faintly exposed in the sleeve, and the dark pattern on the black handle turned bright red, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Aren't you serving His Royal Highness King Ren?"

This person has martial arts, and he was ready to strike while speaking.Xing Ye clearly saw the dagger slipped out by the other party, his disgust flashed, and he glanced at the car driving in Qingling in the distance, already secretly accumulating energy, but saw Cang Lan stand up, and said indifferently,

"Serve His Royal Highness King Ren, and I will do my best to serve you."

Cang Lan untied her bow and arrow, got on her horse, and walked away. Xing Ye froze for a moment, and then followed.Leng Zhou at the side snorted coldly, and hurriedly caught up with the two of them.

Such a punch on the cotton made the person who provoked him feel unspeakably awkward, and found that the three of them were walking gracefully, not as if they were hunting wild game, but as if they were going to relax, and my heart was even more uncomfortable.Looking back at the gap in the carriage, he cursed as if he had recovered his face,

"Pretend!"

Go back angrily.

Cang Lan had already seen that this person was being provoked by Liao Luoxue to make trouble, and planned to walk around in the snow to settle the matter.Seeing that Xing Ye lowered his head and kept silent, he was obviously not angry, but he didn't make trouble, so he could only bear it.Thinking of this, he smiled at the other party,

"It's nothing to do anyway."

"Lord..."

Xing Ye naturally didn't think it was a trivial matter for Cang Lan to be called around, although the people in front of him didn't seem to care at all.Sensing that Cang Lan intended to comfort her, he looked up, a calm smile came into his eyes, and then he met the gentle silver eyes at the moment, and immediately cast everything aside, a suspicious red appeared on his neck.

Seeing this, Cang Lan's eyes flashed strangely, she opened her mouth, and the words came to her lips, just saying,

"What's more, it's good for someone to make things difficult, so as not to be seen through."

No matter how reluctantly he found an excuse, Xing Ye would not object, but Leng Zhou did not dare to object.

So the three of them had nothing to say, and wandered freely for an hour, seeing that the sky was getting dark, but they still didn't meet half a living thing, Leng Tian finally couldn't hold his breath, stepped forward and said,

"The merchant's executioner just wanted to show off his prestige. He has achieved his goal. Your Majesty, let's go back earlier..."

He stopped talking, and took a peek at Xing Ye.

Cang Lan saw it in her eyes, pressed the button without mentioning it, turned her horse's head, and said calmly,

"You recognize him?"

"I don't know him, but my subordinates recognize the pattern on the handle of his knife, which is the symbol of the well-known killer organization 'Xingzhong' in the world,"

Leng Tian rode his horse and followed behind, speaking firmly, and then looked at Xing Ye,

"They secretly work for the merchants in the capital."

"You seem to be very clear."

Feeling that Leng Zhou had something to say, and the matter was mostly related to Xing Ye, Cang Lan didn't check Xing Ye's reaction, so she continued the conversation, and as expected, she listened to Leng Zhou,

"These are Leng Ye... Mr. Xing found out, and the emperor knows a thing or two."

"Why should I know?"

With Cang Lan's acquiescence, Leng Zhou said again,

"Your Majesty, do you remember the common girl who was favored by the Emperor in the past? That girl is no ordinary orphan girl. She was born in 'Xingzhong' and was secretly in charge of contacting merchants."

"Is there such a thing?"

Cang Lan was really stunned this time, when did this happen?

When Leng Zhou saw him, he really couldn't remember it, and he felt unspeakably aggrieved, and regardless of Xing Ye's ugly face, he reminded,

"Master Xing was imprisoned because of this."

Looking back at Xing Ye, Cang Lan racked her brains and finally 'remembered' that 'old story',

"The girl I snatched? You were the one who took me into prison because of her?"

Because of this, he offended 'Prince Yi' and almost implicated the family, and was forced to be his bodyguard in the end.

Xing Ye didn't want to mention this at all, and tried several times to stop Leng Zhou from talking, but he couldn't find a reason, and he was not good at speaking.Now being asked by Cang Lan, I don't know how to answer, hold back for a long time, but still one word,

"……Yes."

Cang Lan didn't seem to sense Xing Ye's evasion, thought for a while, and said,

"She died on my boat, so you infer that I killed her to silence her?"

Now Xing Ye didn't speak again, but Leng Zhou took the words, quite unfairly,

"That matter has something to do with Lord Ye, the servant of the Ministry of War at that time. Lord Ye has always been the emperor's right-hand man. Who would have thought that he had contacts with merchants in the Jing Kingdom and even lied to the emperor, thinking that he was obeying the emperor's order..."

Cang Lan frowned at this obvious provocation.

But the reason why "Prince Yi" paid attention to that girl was because he happened to bump into this girl traveling with Qingling, and knew nothing about her identity, so he insisted on "please" to see what happened.Now that I think about it, this woman is the contact person between the merchant and Qingling. Xing Ye pursued this matter. Some people are afraid that clues will be revealed, and it may be true to kill and silence her. Then...

Cang Lan was still pondering, Xing Ye heard this from the side, but said again,

"The Lord didn't know about that."

"I didn't say..."

Leng Zhou snorted, thinking, the 'Prince Yi' took revenge on Xing Ye back then, maybe he didn't know about it.

He didn't know that Cang Lan in the past was even more unreasonable than now, even if he was unreasonable, he would make trouble, let alone someone who dared to break ground on Taisui Mountain.

When Xing Ye traced the 'Xingzhong' at the beginning, he really mistook Cang Lan as the mastermind behind it, but following Cang Lan's side these few years, he overthrew his original judgment, and he even somewhat forgot what Cang Lan was like before.Therefore, knowing Leng Ri so well, he was even more vigilant, and said with a cold face,

"Where did you learn these things?"

Seeing that Xing Ye refused to appreciate him, Leng Zhou paused for a moment, and said sullenly,

"Although father apparently drove you out of the house, he actually sent someone to keep an eye out, lest you..."

"What I'm doing now has nothing to do with the Leng family."

"you……!"

Leng Zhou was stunned by Xing Ye's calm words again, and then fell silent for a while.

Cang Lan rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the few words they had mentioned in their previous quarrel, and if he sensed it, he raised his eyes to Xing Ye inquiringly.

At this time, the other party had dismounted from his horse and was squatting on the ground to inspect something, then bowed his body slowly, stopped in a hidden hole, squatted halfway on the ground again, closed his eyes and paused for a moment, while measuring something, while moving slightly silently.

Cang Lan was about to step forward when Xing Ye suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed at the ground!

The long sword sank to the hilt, and at the same time, a shrill scream came from the ground—the scream of some animal being stabbed.

I've never seen hunting like this before.

The permafrost is so hard that it is extremely difficult to penetrate it.Being able to penetrate so deep with ease, and to draw the sword accurately, without sound or trace, Xing Ye's skills seemed to be growing again.

Cang Lan came to a conclusion in the dark, Leng Tian was also in a daze, and only after a while did he think of stepping forward to help, he also drew out his waist knife, used the scabbard to dig up the soil twice, and soon dug out a rabbit, which was quite fat.

"Going back like this, that person has nothing to say..."

Leng Zhou murmured, and then complained,

"If you can catch rabbits, you should start early, and you have to wait until dark."

After finishing speaking, he felt a little ashamed. Although he was a man in the Jianghu, he was pampered and knew these ways of survival in the wild.

Xing Ye didn't even bother to pay attention to Leng Zhou's nagging, wiped the sword clean twice, and brought the rabbit back to Cang Lan, but didn't make a sound, as if he wanted Cang Lan to be happy, but was afraid of hurting his face.

Holding the prey, looking forward to and a little nervous, like some kind of animal, Cang Lan let out a muffled laugh, Xing Ye was even more at a loss,

"Lord..."

"Let's go back."

Of course Cang Lan couldn't explain the associations that came to her, she blinked and said with a smile,

"Thanks for having you here."

He joked casually, seeing Xing Ye's bright eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth spread little by little.This person is so easy to deceive, how can he be assured...

The three of them were considered to have completed the task, and returned to the place where the convoy stopped, and Leng Tian went to hand the prey to the cook, and after whispering a few instructions, he found the fire and sat down contentedly.

Cang Lan was already warming her hands by the bonfire, took the porridge from the servants, saw Xing Ye standing behind her as usual, moved to the side, motioned him to sit down.

Xing Ye was taken aback, overstepping his instincts, but the people nearby were all sitting around the campfire, so he stood out instead.He bowed his head in silence for a while, and sat down half a foot behind Cang Lan.

Cang Lan tilted her head, glanced at the person sitting in front of her chest, and was about to say something when she suddenly heard shouts, and soon saw the provocative 'Xing Zhong' striding forward, pointed at Cang Lan angrily, and shouted ,

"You! How dare you talk too much in front of His Highness, saying that I ordered you?!"

Cang Lan raised her eyebrows, and cast her eyes on Leng Tian, ​​who had already stood up and said,

"Since His Royal Highness wants to eat wild game, I will ask the cook to ask His Highness what he would like to eat, so that guard Hao can go hunting next time."

"Don't think that you will be fine if you lift His Highness out!"

The man laughed back in anger, looked at the three of them gloomyly, but turned around and left without saying anything.

The opponent turned from provocation to threat, Xing Ye could no longer ignore it, and was about to get up quietly, Cang Lan stepped back intentionally or unintentionally, and handed the porridge over.

Probably because Cang Lan's movements were too natural, Xing Ye reached out to catch it without thinking, and finally realized what he had done.

Cang Lan took another bowl, seeing that Xing Ye was still holding the bowl in a daze, she pursed her lips and said,

"Don't leave quietly, I still have something to ask you."

Xing Ye's decisive killing intent when he got up was not like a temporary decision. It seemed that something made him be extra wary of this person, and he even didn't hesitate to kill him first.

In the narrow carriage, Cang Lan was lying in her clothes, but still felt cold.He was sorting out the clues of the matter in his mind, but he couldn't decide where to start asking. After all, he could see that Xing Ye didn't want to mention the past at all.

Cang Lan was hesitating, waiting for Xing Ye's sudden flash, her face changed, her eyes suddenly turned to the charcoal basin that was sent just now, and she lifted the curtain of the car to pick it out.

Amidst the sound of the charcoal basin falling on the snow, another almost inaudible sound of breaking through the air came to my ears.

Someone moved his hands and feet in the charcoal basin, and then watched outside...

Cang Lan's thoughts turned sharply, and she reached out her hand to hold Xing Ye who got up and wanted to chase,

"Since that man is the merchant's minion, without him, Shang Yu will become suspicious, so let him go first."

There are many guards accompanying them, and Leng Tian and Xing Ye are people with eyes and ears. Although the opponent's methods are troublesome, they are not enough to be feared. It is much better than alerting the merchants.

Cang Lan instantly weighed the pros and cons, and at the same time felt Xing Ye's arm tremble slightly, and uncontrollable anger and excitement appeared on his face which was rare.

He was sure that there was a deeper secret hidden in it, and he withdrew his thoughts and said,

"What's in the charcoal basin?"

"Added drugs to confuse the mind..."

Soon realizing that Xing Ye's complexion was abnormal, Cang Lan's eyes sank, and she probed the other's forehead,

"Are you poisoned?"

Xing Ye held his breath, and before he could speak, Leng Ri's low voice rang through the curtain of the car,

"Your Majesty! Is Leng Ye chasing after..."

He obviously found that Xing Ye was still in the car, he breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Forgive me for being rude, just because the criminal guards have been involved in such plots before..."

Xing Ye still bowed his head and said nothing, Cang Lan couldn't see his expression, his eyes fell on his tightly pursed lips, and after a moment, he asked,

"what happened?"

The voice is not high, but the tone of command cannot be avoided.

"The Lord condemned,"

Xing Ye froze, and said quickly without any fluctuations in his tone,

"This subordinate once stayed in the 'Xingzhong' when he was young."
