Chapter 260
Song Qinghuan nodded, picked up the rice paper and dried the ink on the paper, looked at her and said, "Come, accompany me to Master's."

Although Shen Xing didn't know why she wanted to draw the portrait of Emperor Qinshui, but seeing Song Qinghuan's solemn expression, he knew that it was not on a whim, so he didn't ask any more questions. He responded, took the painting paper and rolled it up, and helped her get up and walk out the door go.

"Master." When they reached Ye Wen's door, Song Qinghuan reached out and knocked on the door.The questioner sitting in the hall raised his head when he heard the movement, saw that it was Song Qinghuan, nodded and said, "Come in."

Song Qinghuan entered the door, sat down opposite Ye Wen, then glanced at Shen Xing, "Shen Xing, give the painting to Master."

Shen Xing responded, and unfolded the scroll in front of Ye Wen.

"Master, this is my painting of Emperor Ji of Qinshui, look...?" Before he finished speaking, Ye Wen's eyes suddenly sank on the scroll, and a cold light spread in his eyes.

Song Qinghuan's heart also sank.

Looking at this expression, their guess just now is probably right...

"Master?" She settled down, raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a deep voice.

Ye Wen didn't make a sound, took the scroll from Shen Xing, and spread it out on the table in front of him, his eyes fixed on the face of the woman in the painting, dark and turbulent in his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head, "There are five points similar."

Song Qinghuan's Mo pupils narrowed, and his eyes were cold.

Unexpectedly, Su Rao and Lin Susu are five points alike!From the previous description of Shen Chuhan, it can be seen that Li Xu has a deep affection for Lin Susu. The death of Lin Susu was the biggest heartache in his heart. Suddenly, he saw Su Rao who was five points similar to Lin Susu. Either way, or for some other reason, it is not impossible to generously use the Xugu Dafa.

"Although the facial features are not very similar, the charm between the brows and eyes is indeed...reminiscent of Susu." Ye Wen lowered his head slightly, his face was gloomy, and his expression was unpredictable.

Song Qinghuan's heart couldn't help but feel cold, and for some reason, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

If Su Rao and Lin Susu really had such an ambiguous relationship, with her skill and scheming, she would definitely not let such a good opportunity go by.She had long hated herself and Shen Chuhan to the bone, if Wuhen Palace was used by her, the situation for herself and Shen Chuhan would become even more difficult.

Ye Wen was also aware of the seriousness of the situation, and looked up at her, "I will investigate this matter as soon as possible."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan nodded, "Thank you, Master."

"Anyway, now you can relax for the time being, she doesn't know your whereabouts. After reuniting with Shu'er in Lindu, he will definitely come up with an appropriate way to deal with it." Ye Wen comforted.

"I understand, thank you Master." Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement, stood up, "Then Master, I will go back to my room first."

"Well. Rest early today." Song Qinghuan was about to leave tomorrow, so Ye Wen didn't stay any longer, handed over the rolled drawing paper in his hand, and watched her leave the room.

He stood up, walked to the window and looked out.

Junior brother, are you really still brooding about Su Su?
He sighed heavily, looked away, went to the study and started to write a letter.

Early the next morning, the tranquility in the Valley of No Cares was broken.

Today, everyone is going to set off.After getting together for breakfast, Song Qinghuan, Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun, who were about to go on the road, went back to their rooms and made final preparations.

Song Qinghuan looked around the small wooden house where he had lived for several months, and deep reluctance spread in his heart.

After leaving this valley of no worries, the paradise in this valley has nothing to do with her any more, and what will greet her will be a more violent round of bloody storms.He raised his hand to caress the swollen abdomen, sighed slightly, and only hoped that in the meantime, the fetus in the womb could be delivered safely.

"Your Highness, everything is ready." Liu Yue came forward and reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah." Song Qinghuan regained consciousness, looked at Liuyue, "Go and see if Luoluo and Mr. Ji are all right."

Liuyue retreated in response.

Song Qinghuan slowly withdrew his gaze from looking around, wrapped the soft whip around his waist, took one last look at this familiar place, lifted the curtain and walked out.

Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun also quickly made preparations, and Song Qinghuan went out with the support of Liu Yue.

"Sister-in-law." Ye Luo walked over, stood on the other side of her, and stretched out his hand to support her.

"Are you all ready?"

Ye Luo nodded, "Ready."

While talking, Mingyue Qingfeng had already brought the carriage and horse over.

Song Qinghuan looked at Ye Wen who came out to say goodbye, "Master, we are leaving, you must take care of yourself."

"Yes." Ye Luo followed suit, tears flickering in his eyes, "Daddy, I'm not by your side, you have to take care of yourself, I will write back often." Saying that, she looked at Mingyue Qingfeng , "Mingyue Qingfeng, take good care of my father, and when my sister comes back, I will take you out of the valley to play."

"Don't worry, sister Luoluo." Although Mingyue Qingfeng was reluctant, his expression was determined, showing the expression of a little man.

Ye Luo touched their heads emotionally, trying not to let the tears fall.

"Okay, so many years have passed, are you still afraid that I can't take care of myself? But you, be careful along the way, pay attention to safety, and write back more often if you have the opportunity." Swept in front of people one by one.

"En." Ye Luo choked up a little, and nodded heavily.

"Okay." Ji Liuyun came over and said, "It's getting late, we should go." Looking at Ye Wen, "Master, let's go."

"Go." Ye Luo waved his hand.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing raised the curtain of the carriage, welcomed Song Qinghuan and Ye Luo into the carriage, and the two also got into the carriage.Xuan Ying sat on the shaft of the chariot and picked up the reins.Ji Liuyun also got on his horse.

Finally, they bid farewell to Ye Wen again, and they drove towards Taniguchi slowly.

Out of the valley, through the misty forest, and finally on the official road.

Considering Song Qinghuan's physical condition, the group of people was not in a hurry, and they stopped and walked along the way, which was quite leisurely.On this day, it was almost dusk, and the few people decided to stay in the small town ahead for one night before leaving.

Because the town here is close to the official road, there are quite a few people in the town, and the streets are still bustling at dusk.

Xuanying found an inn, and they settled down.

To the outside world, Ji Liuyun said that Song Qinghuan and Ye Luo were his two younger sisters, and they kept a low profile all the way, except for the minor commotion caused by their appearance, they lived in peace.

After dinner, Song Qinghuan was about to wash up and go to bed early, when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Liu Yue asked.

"It's me, Xuanying."

Xuan Ying?Song Qinghuan frowned, sat up straight, and glanced at Liuyue.

Liu Yue responded, walked to the door and opened it, looked at Xuan Ying outside and asked, "What's the matter? Are you looking for His Highness?"

Xuanying nodded, "There is news for Young Madam."

Liu Yue stepped aside, "Come in."

"What's the matter?" Song Qinghuan got up from the couch, walked to the table and sat down, looked at him and said, "But what news did you get?"

From now on to Lindu, along the way, Xuanying has already set up secret sentries, and Shen Chuhan's news network spreads all over Liangguo and Zhaoguo, so the transmission of information does not lag behind.

Xuan Ying nodded, "Young Madam, there is news from Chen Country."

Upon hearing this, Song Qinghuan raised his hand to pour tea, and looked straight at Shen Chuhan, "About Su Rao?"

"Yes." Xuan Ying replied, "The spies from Chen Kingdom came to report that Emperor Qinshui has indeed not been in Luo City recently, and only claimed to be ill, and rarely appeared in front of people."

Song Qinghuan's heart sank slightly.

"Also, there's a letter from Mr. Ye." Xuanying took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Song Qinghuan.

"Master also sent a letter?" Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart increased, he reached out to take it, and opened it.

After reading ten lines at a glance, his face was already gloomy.

Ye Wen said in the letter that he had sent someone to investigate clearly that the palace lord of the Wuhen Palace, who has seen the head and the tail, is indeed Li Xu.Moreover, the scope of activities of Wuhen Palace has recently shifted to the junction of Zhaoliang and Liang, which is the only way they must pass to Lindu, so they must be careful not to attract the attention of Wuhen Palace.

Song Qinghuan's fingers gripped the letter paper tightly.

Li Xu hated Ye Wen deeply because of Lin Susu's matter. If he knew that Shen Chuhan was Ye Wen's apprentice, plus Su Rao's grievances with them, once Wuhen Palace learned of his whereabouts, he would definitely not let him go. Live yourself.

"Young Madam?" Seeing Song Qinghuan's expression changed, Xuan Ying couldn't help but speak.

Song Qinghuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he handed the letter to him.

Xuan Ying took a look, and his face darkened.

"Young Madam, my subordinates will send more people to guard your safety, please don't worry." He raised his head and looked at Song Qinghuan, speaking in a deep voice.

Song Qinghuan nodded, and said, "Wuhen Palace, watch more."

"Yes." Xuanying responded, seeing that Song Qinghuan had no other orders, she left after leaving.

After Xuanying left, Song Qinghuan stared blankly at the teacup in his hand, and his face was a little ugly.

"Your Highness?" Liu Yue asked carefully.

Song Qinghuan raised his head, and seeing her concerned eyes, he curled his lips into a smile, "It's nothing, I don't need to worry now, I can only take one step at a time."

"Yes. The servant will help you change your clothes."

*
After walking for another half a month, we finally reached the border between Liang and Zhao.

As we got here, the security became more stringent, and patrolling troops could be seen everywhere, and an awe-inspiring atmosphere enveloped the city.

Xuanying's hidden guards inquired about the news that Wuhen Palace was currently active in this area, so the group did not dare to take it lightly, they only chose to travel during the day, and found a good inn in the evening.

On this day, they arrived at a small town not far from the border.

Although there is still some time before sunset, the few people decided not to rush on the road. They will stay here tonight and continue on the road tomorrow after resting overnight.

As soon as I entered the town, I felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Ji Liuyun narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the hurried crowd, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.He got off his horse, stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, what happened here?"

The passer-by looked up at him with a somewhat panicked expression. Seeing his kind and handsome face, he regained his composure slightly, "Are you a traveler passing by here?"

Ji Liuyun nodded, "When we first entered the town, we felt something was wrong, so we wanted to ask what happened."

Passers-by waved their hands, "Hurry up and find an inn to stay in, and go on the road early tomorrow morning, don't stay here any longer."

Ji Liuyun frowned more tightly, "What happened?"

Passers-by sighed, "Master Liu's family in the town was wiped out last night. None of the 35 members of the family survived. Blood flowed like a river at the scene, but the murderer did not leave any evidence. The government is also helpless. At this moment, everyone It's because I'm worried, I'm afraid the murderer is still in town."

He sighed, "Master Liu has been in our town for four or five years. He is always kind and charitable, and the people in the town are very good. I don't know who he offended, and he ended up like this."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, "Stop talking, the town is not peaceful recently, I have to go back quickly." As he spoke, he glanced at him and reminded, "So, after today's night, tomorrow morning you will all Hurry up and get on the road."

"Thank you." Ji Liuyun clasped his fists in thanks, and exchanged a glance with Xuanying behind him.

"Have you found the inn yet?"

"I have ordered someone to find it, it's just ahead." Xuanying said.

Ji Liuyun said "hmm", took two steps forward, and lowered his voice next to Xuanying's ear, "I always feel that the massacre of Mr. Liu's family is not simple. You send someone to investigate secretly."

Xuanying nodded in agreement, leaving the matter aside for the time being, and drove the carriage towards the reserved inn.

When they arrived at the inn, everyone went back to their rooms and settled down first.

Song Qinghuan took a short rest, looked at Liuyue and Shen Xing, "Did you hear what the passerby said just now?"

The two nodded.

Liu Yue worriedly said, "Your Highness, do you think... Could this matter be related to Wuhen Palace?"

Song Qinghuan pondered for a while, "It's hard to say now. But according to the passer-by just now, this Mr. Liu moved to the town a few years ago, and his family background seems to be quite rich. Impossible. If you are really a person in the Jianghu, there will inevitably be many enemies, and it is reasonable for Wuhen Palace to take action."

"In that case, the people from Wuhen Palace are nearby?" Liu Yue was slightly worried.

Song Qinghuan frowned, "These are just my conjectures, we have to wait for the news from Xuanying to find out." After finishing speaking, she looked up at Liuyue, "Go to Xuanying's side to have a look. If you have any news, let me know right away."

"Yes." Liu Yue agreed and exited the room.

Shen Xing helped her to sit down at the table, with some worries in his eyes, "Your Highness, Emperor Qinshui is thoughtful and hates us to the bone. If she is really around here and knows the news of your presence, I will definitely try my best to get revenge."

Song Qinghuan let out a long sigh of relief, "This is the end of the matter, there's no use worrying about it. All we can do now is wait for news from Xuanying."

Xuan Ying's people were really fast, and Liu Yue brought the news as soon as the sun set.

"How is it?" Song Qinghuan asked eagerly.

Liu Yue's face was gloomy, and she said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the massacre of Mr. Liu's family is most likely the work of Wuhen Palace."
