Chapter 86 Lip Prints and Big Conspiracy
After climbing through the cave and landing along the wooden ladder, Su Xian turned to look at Yang Zhilan and said, "It's late at night, let's rest early."

After finishing speaking, Su Xian walked towards the bed.

However, he suddenly found that the way Yang Zhilan looked at him was a little weird. Although he was very calm, he keenly caught the trace of weirdness.

"what happened to you?"

Su Xian returned to his original position and stared at Yang Zhilan with a frown.

Yang Zhilan was quite upright, so she silently picked up the bronze mirror just now, held it in both hands and held it in front of Su Xian's eyes.

What the hell... Su Xian looked at the mirror with confusion.

Then...then he immediately waved his sleeves to cover his lips and cheeks, ran out the door quickly, and said, "I'm going to wash my face first."

It turns out that Su Xian's lips and cheeks are full of lip marks...

On the first floor, in the kitchen, Su Xian was fetching water to wash his face and thought to himself: "No wonder, no wonder Mrs. Liu looks weird from time to time. It turns out it's because of this."

"Ha, you didn't even tell me. Let's see how I deal with you tomorrow night."

"..."

After washing her face and looking in the mirror, Su Xian was completely relieved that the lip marks were gone.

After lying on the bed, looking at Yang Zhilan's back on the bronze mirror, he thought to himself: "Fortunately, Zhilan doesn't say much to begin with. If that guy Lin Chuan finds out, maybe the whole city will know about it tomorrow."

puff!
After blowing out the oil lamp, the room became dark.

Su Xian said "Go to sleep" and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.

Yang Zhilan, who was still making the floor beside the bed, lay motionless on the quilt...

Not sure how much time had passed, Su Xian was in a daze when he suddenly saw a figure standing upright on the floor beside the bed, and then stood there motionless.

"What's wrong?" Su Xian lost all sleepiness in an instant.

"Shh!" Yang Zhilan made a silent gesture.

Su Xian swallowed her saliva and stared at Yang Zhilan who stood upright like a wooden stake without blinking... She must have discovered something.

After a while, Yang Zhilan said: "There are people outside, but the target is not us. I want to go out and have a look."

"it is good!"

Yang Zhilan was as light as a swallow, leaped onto the window sill with one stride, then jumped out and disappeared into the night.

About half a quarter of an hour later, Yang Zhilan returned.

"What's going on?" Su Xian didn't light the lamp, and Yang Zhilan's figure was hidden in the darkness, looking a little scary.

"It's not an internal guard killer, but I don't know who it is." Yang Zhilan said, and before Su Xian asked, she continued: "They went next door, it was like a secret meeting."

"Next door? Mrs. Liu's house?" Su Xian got up from the bed.

"No, it's the other side."

"Oh."

Su Xian understood that the place Yang Zhilan was talking about was the place where Su Xian killed Xiaoge Ling. It was a house that had been vacant for several years.

Thanks to Liu Huixiang's notoriety, the empty house became a perfect place for all parties to meet secretly.

Miss Xiaoxian Zi, the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Ge Ling and Yang Zhilan, and now a group of people whose origins are unknown, they all chose that place as the location for their secret meeting.

"Oops, the entrance to the cave has been sealed, so you can't eavesdrop." Su Xian shook his head.

"No, if I climbed up to the beam, I should be able to hear a little bit, because the green bricks at the entrance of the cave have gaps and are not sealed." Yang Zhilan said.

"Let's give it a try."

After speaking, the two quickly came to the unused room. Yang Zhilan silently climbed up the beam in the dark, pressed her ears against the cracked green bricks, and eavesdropped.

Su Xian is waiting below.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Yang Zhilan jumped down from the beam, looked at Su Xian and said, "They left. What they said was very strange. I want to follow them and see where they go."

"Okay, go and come back quickly." Su Xian nodded.

After Yang Zhilan disappeared into the night, Su Xian returned to the bedroom, lay down on the bed and continued to sleep.

But he always felt that what just happened was extraordinary, maybe it was a big deal that broke the world... Unable to sleep, Su Xian simply got up and sat down, waiting for Yang Zhilan to come back and ask more questions.

After about half an hour.

There was a slight noise from the direction of the window.

Su Xian turned around and saw a tree stump-like figure standing in front of the window, motionless.

"You're back, aren't you injured?" Su Xian asked.

"No." Yang Zhilan walked back to the floor and sat down, and said proactively: "I only heard a few words just now, namely 'Hejian Inn', 'Charcoal', and 'The Last Batch'! Other than that, they were all Didn’t hear clearly.”

Su Xian frowned, chewing on these three key words repeatedly, and then asked: "Where did you follow them just now?"

Yang Zhilan's calm voice was a little weird as she said: "West of the city, a few miles away at the Grand Canal Wharf, Warehouse No. B-[-]!"

"There are countless patrols on the canal pier. I have no chance to sneak into the No. [-] warehouse." Yang Zhilan's voice was slightly disappointed. Perhaps she felt that "the mission was not completed."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

Su Xian comforted him, and then connected all the information in series and came to a conclusion: "The charcoal stored in warehouse No. B[-] of the Canal Wharf should be charcoal, and then it will be transported to Hejian Station, which is the last batch."

The Grand Canal outside Leshou County was built by the previous dynasty and was named the "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal".

However, with the disintegration of the previous dynasty, the vast area south of the Huaihe River was occupied by Nanchen, so the southern section of the Grand Canal has lost its water transportation value.

The river section in the north is still busy.

Through the Grand Canal pier in the west of the city, you can go directly to Hejian County, where the capital of Yingzhou is located. If there is no obstruction, you can reach it in just a few hours.

"But that doesn't make sense."

Su Xian shook his head and denied his conclusion, "If we just transport the charcoal to the Hejian Inn, just transport it away. The charcoal is not something extraordinary, worthy of their late-night secret meeting?"

Yang Zhilan sat motionless on the floor and didn't speak.

Su Xian quickly sorted out two clues and said: "First, the charcoal in their mouths should not be charcoal, but something else. However, the truth can only be revealed after inspecting the No. Bing [-] warehouse."

"Second, it's the destination - Hejian Inn. What's so special about Hejian Inn?" Su Xian asked, looking at Yang Zhilan on the floor.

"Hejian Inn, Hejian, is the capital of Yingzhou..." Yang Zhilan murmured to herself, and then said a name that shocked Su Xian: "Princess Lanling!"

"Princess Lanling? What does this matter have to do with Princess Lanling?" Su Xian sat up directly.

"After Princess Lanling arrives in Yingzhou, she will most likely stay at the Hejian Inn." Yang Zhilan's voice did not contain any emotion, which was convincing.

"This..." A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Su Xian's mind, "Yes, yes, Princess Lanling has stayed in a duke's mansion along the way. If she didn't find one in the local area, she would stay in a post office. Pavilion.”

"And Chengzhong of Yingzhou happens to not have any duke's mansion. So that means that the princess will definitely stay at the Hejian Inn after coming to Yingzhou."

"..."

Su Xian suddenly became energetic, raised his head and concluded: "There must be a conspiracy in this! A huge conspiracy!"
