The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 345 Night Assassin
"General, is what Master Li said just now true?"

After Li Yan sent Master Li away, he immediately showed a puzzled expression: "Do you want your subordinates to go and find out?"

Huo Xun still frowned, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head: "The official uniform worn by Mr. Li is not a fake, and there is no need for him to lie to me. I am afraid that [-]% of this matter is true."

"Then, why haven't we been notified by the court?"

Li Yan asked subconsciously, and seeing Huo Xun raised his eyes to look at him, he immediately realized that his question was superfluous.

He followed Huo Xun from the capital city to Yunzhong in the rain, and almost ate, drank and slept together. He kept an eye on the dynamics of the capital all the way, but he didn't hear any news about Huo Xun. Huo Xun was focused on looking for Xiao Ruan. I don't even know if the court has issued a notice.

"General, there is one thing that my subordinates really can't figure out. Our whereabouts are secretive, so how could Master Li know that we have arrived in the cloud?"

Hearing Li Yan's question, Huo Xun's eyes dimmed, but he still didn't speak.

According to that Li lord, if the emperor's decree was to go to Beijiang with King Xia to congratulate him, he and King Xia would definitely give him and King Xia separate orders.

Now the emperor's people haven't found his people yet, but King Xia has let his officials find him. Could it be that King Xia's men are really better at finding people than the emperor's men?
Does this mean that his previous guess was not correct, King Xia was able to find and execute Zhao Yan in a very short time, so his guess was also wrong?

Furthermore, the new Northern Jiang emperor ascended the throne, wouldn't it be more appropriate for the emperor to send Xiao Zhongheng to congratulate him, why would he think of sending him a military officer?
Over the years, he led troops to attack Bei Jiang and made many achievements, but Bei Jiang didn't like him at all. Is it really good for him to go to Bei Jiang?

Huo Xun didn't want to go to Beijiang, he just wanted to search for Xiao Ruan's traces in the clouds, but since the court ordered him to go with King Xia, he only had time before meeting King Xia Look for Xiao Ruan.

Now that he has no trace of Xiao Ruan, King Xia already knows that he has come to Yunzhong. I am afraid that he will have less time to find Xiao Ruan.

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Huo Xun's eyes gradually flashed with anticipation, and he said in a deep voice: "From today on, let the news of my general's arrival in Yunzhong spread immediately. If Madam hears the news, she will find a way to meet me."

After Huo Xun's whereabouts were made public, all the officials in Yunzhong came to see him.

In order to be able to delay the time when Dao Mengcheng met King Xia, he had to stay in the cloud as much as possible.After thinking about it for a while, Huo Xun finally decided to let these officials find Xiao Ruan's whereabouts together with him.

It is night, midnight.

There was silence between heaven and earth, Huo Xun heard a slight abnormal noise from the window sill, and a carp straightened up and sat up.

But seeing that most of the tightly closed windows had been quietly opened, Huo Xun felt suspicious, and immediately found a favorable place to hide.

The moonlight came in through the window, and Huo Xun clearly saw a black figure leaping in quietly, sneaking to his bed.

Just when the man reached out to touch the bed, Huo Xun's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he flew forward and stretched out his hands to strangle the other person's neck, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you!"

That person never expected that Huo Xun would just sit and wait in the room, subconsciously wanting to resist, but was eaten to death by Huo Xun, unable to move a bit.

Seeing that the person didn't answer, Huo Xun grabbed the other person's arm and turned him around, only heard a scream of "Ouch", Huo Xun's men paused, and tore off the mask on the opposite face, showing a surprised expression.

The assassin was none other than Lu Hanrui who was supposed to be in the capital.

"How will you be here?"

"Didn't I come to find you?"

Lu Hanrui broke free from Huo Xun's arm, moved it twice, and couldn't help complaining: "It's so good that I'm also your brother-in-law, can you see who I am before doing it next time?"

"General, what happened in your room?"

Just as Lu Hanrui's voice fell, he suddenly heard Li Yan's voice, and quickly waved at Huo Xun to signal not to expose himself.

"It's nothing, I'll call you if I need anything."

Huo Xun's eyes flashed, he walked away from Li Yan, lit the candles in the room, and then turned to look at Lu Hanrui who was wearing night clothes: "Tell me, why are you sneaking here?"

"The general is really easy for me to find. The prince is indeed very angry with you for leaving without permission, but you are eager to find a wife, how can we not understand?"

Lu Hanrui listened quietly for a while with his ears sideways, and seeing that there was no movement outside, he said again: "You have been out for a few days, is there any news about Ruan'er?"

But seeing Huo Xun's silence, Lu Hanrui sighed: "Perhaps your guess is correct, the crown prince ordered me to deliver this letter to you, and you will know why I came to you in such a disguise after reading it."

Suspiciously taking the envelope from Lu Hanrui's hand, Huo Xun tore off the sealing paint, read the contents of the envelope by candlelight, and suddenly raised his head: "It's no wonder that the emperor not only didn't hold me accountable for leaving the capital without permission, but that he wanted to let me leave the capital without permission." I secretly investigate Duke Xia."

"That's right. This matter is no small matter. The crown prince is worried that other people will inform you, but my sudden appearance in the cloud will inevitably arouse the suspicion of King Xia, so I have no choice but to use this method to see you."

Lu Hanrui nodded, and after taking a deep breath, there was a touch of relief on his face: "If Xia Junwang really has something to do with Zhao Yan, he will naturally not kill Zhao Yan, which can also be in line with what you say Zhao Yan is. Flee directly to the speculation in the cloud."

"It's not just that, if Duke Xia didn't kill Zhao Yan, Ruan'er must have been hidden by them!"

After reading the contents of the letter, Huo Xun immediately understood the cause and effect, and immediately said: "Reply to the emperor and the prince on my behalf, Huo Xun will definitely investigate the King Xia and live up to the emperor's expectations!"

After finishing speaking, he frowned as if he suddenly remembered something: "There is one thing I think I need to confirm with you. The emperor's order to let King Xiajun go to Beijiang with me was also issued in secret? Haven't heard any news?"

"The emperor wants to give you time to conduct a secret investigation, and naturally he will not notify King Xia before he finds you... No, do you mean to say..."

Halfway through Lu Hanrui's speech, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. When he saw Huo Xun nodding at himself, he immediately showed a look of surprise and shook his head: "How is this possible? As far as I know, the imperial decree for Duke Xia is still on the way. How could he... ..."

"To be honest, before you found me, Duke Xia had asked a magistrate here to pass the news to me."

With Huo Xun's conclusive words, Lu Hanrui suddenly shut his mouth tightly.

No wonder he didn't find any trace of Huo Xun all the way here, but suddenly he heard that the famous General Huo came to Yunzhong and lived in this inn.Apparently, he already knew that the capital had not punished him, so he revealed his identity openly.

Having figured this out, Lu Hanrui felt worried when he looked at Huo Xun again: "It seems that Duke Xia's eyes and ears are better than we imagined, and it is very likely that he has discovered that the emperor has begun to doubt him. ...Be careful in everything, and I will report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible."

Lu Hanrui wasn't sure whether the emperor would make any arrangements for Huo Xun after he knew about this matter, and he couldn't make any guarantees for him at this time, but when he thought of Xiao Ruan, he couldn't help but said: "But then again, this is not a bad thing The more suspicious things Xia Junwang has, the more likely it is that Zhao Yan is not dead, as long as Zhao Yan is found, Ruan'er will definitely be found!"

Huo Xun kept his eyes on the void in front of him and didn't reply, but his hand holding the envelope became tighter and tighter.

He had never heard from Xiao Ruan before, and what he was most worried about was what happened to her.Judging from the clues found now, she must still be under Zhao Yan's control.

At this moment, he had never hoped that Zhao Yan would be so infatuated with Xiao Ruan as he is now. As long as he still has feelings for Xiao Ruan, he would never let Xiao Ruan suffer any harm. That's the only way, he Only then can there be a chance to rescue Xiao Ruan!

Here, Huo Xun was a little more confident just now that he could find Xiao Ruan, while Huo Xun was talking about Huo Xun in a secret room of Xiajun Wangfu in Mengcheng.

"Master Li, you have been in contact with Huo Xun for a while, why don't you tell us about him."

The oil lamp was like a bean, and King Xia took a sip with a bowl of herbal tea in his hand, seemingly asking unintentionally.

"Reporting to the lord, you are still well-informed. Didn't you see how shocked the officer was when he took someone to welcome him to the post house. It seems that this famous general is nothing more than that, just like the lord. Compared to you, he is not even as good as one of your toes!"

Mr. Li blinked his mouse-like triangular eyes, and all kinds of contempt for Huo Xun came out of his mouth, which caused a series of ridicules from other officials in the room.

King Xia Jun won a high hat from Mr. Li, and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes: "Hey, Mr. Li, you must not underestimate this person. Although he is not as good as this king, he is still the eyeliner sent by the emperor." No matter what, we should all be careful. You still tell me, what did he do with you, why did he come to Mengcheng so late?"

"What the lord said is."

Master Li frowned and thought for a while before he said mockingly: "According to the observation of the subordinate officer, there is nothing unusual about that kid, but at first he didn't bother to associate with the subordinate official. But later, I don't know what happened, but he learned In order to condescend to invite the lower official to drink, he also asked the lower official to help him find a woman named Xiao Ruan. My lord, what should we worry about such a lustful person?"

"Master Li may not know something, but I heard that the woman is Huo Xun's wife. When His Royal Highness Duke Huai fled the capital, he deliberately took Huo Xun's wife away for revenge."
