Chapter 261
Hearing Liu Yue's words, Song Qinghuan's complexion suddenly sank, and he suddenly raised his eyes, "What do you say?"

"The hidden guards sent by Xuanying sneaked into the scene and inspected it carefully. The fatal wounds on the corpses are consistent with the moves of the Wuhen Palace killers who fought in Shengjing before." Liu Yue's voice was low, and there was hidden worry in her eyes.

"Where is Xuanying now?" Song Qinghuan asked after a moment of thought.

"Still sending people to investigate Master Liu's identity, he sent His Highness to worry about it, and asked the servant to tell you first when he comes back. If there is any news, he will come and tell you immediately."

Song Qinghuan responded and fell into deep thought.

At present, they still don't know the real reason why the Wuhen Palace Killer appeared here. Is it really just to solve the disputes in the world, or heard about their whereabouts, and deliberately waited again?
And Su Rao, is he among them?

While meditating, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Song Qinghuan asked coldly.

"Your Highness, it's a servant girl, and Young Master Ji." It was Shen Xing who answered.

Song Qinghuan gave Liuyue a glance, and Liuyue walked to the door, opened it, and invited Shen Xing and Ji Liuyun in.

Holding a bowl of decoction in his hand, Shen Xing walked up to Song Qinghuan and said, "Your Highness, the anti-fetal medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."

Song Qinghuan nodded, reached out to take it, gently stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, looked at Ji Liuyun and said, "Why is Zishu here? Can you help me?"

"When I was just making the medicine, I heard about Wuhen Palace, so I came to see you." Ji Liuyun also had a rare serious expression on his face.

Song Qinghuan invited him to a seat, raised his head and drank the bowl of soup, handed the bowl back to Shen Xing, used a handkerchief to soak the soup on the corner of his mouth, slowly raised his eyes to look at Ji Liuyun, and said in a slight tone, "Zi Shu, What do you think?"

Ji Liuyun glanced at her, although the danger may be ahead, but her eyes are still calm and calm, without any fear.My heart, which was a bit erratic, suddenly settled down.

"Although Wuhen Palace is an organization of killers, it is naturally not weak in intelligence and spying. If Emperor Qinshui really has contact with the owner of Wuhen Palace, it is not impossible for her to wait for us here specially." Ji Liuyun analyzed in a deep voice.

Song Qinghuan said "Mmm", her eyes were as deep as black mist.

Although she wished to personally kill Su Rao, but now is a special period, the strength of Wuhen Palace's troops is unknown, so it's better to avoid it if you can.

"If Xuanying's side is confirmed, I think we might be able to make a detour to Lindu." Ji Liuyun thought for a moment, then spoke again.

Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement.

Now is not the time to be impulsive, the most important thing right now is to go to Lindu safely and cooperate with Shen Chuhan. As for Su Rao, there will be more suitable opportunities to deal with her in the future.

Ji Liuyun sat for a while longer, in order not to worry Song Qinghuan too much, he casually chatted about other topics. Seeing that it was getting late, it was inconvenient to disturb Song Qinghuan anymore. Just as he was about to leave, there was another knock on the door.

This time, the person outside the door was Xuanying.

Liu Yue hurriedly opened the door and invited Xuan Ying to come in.

"This subordinate has seen Mrs. Young and Young Master Ji." Xuan Ying clasped her fists and saluted, with a heavy expression on her face.

"There's no need to be too polite." Song Qinghuan said, his eyes fixed on his face, "How is it?"

"Returning to Mrs. Liu, the identity of Mr. Liu has been found out. It is indeed Liu Quan, a well-known green forest thief in the Jianghu ten years ago. Later, he retreated into the Jianghu and gradually disappeared. No one knows his whereabouts anymore. Only Liu Quan used to make many enemies in the Jianghu, even if he retreated to the Jianghu, there are still many of his former enemies who have been looking for him. This time, the massacre of the Liu family was caused by his former enemies who hired Wuhen Palace." Xuan The shadow will tell the situation that the hidden guard has inquired about one by one.

"We know the current whereabouts of Wuhen Palace."

"Our people searched the town secretly, and found no sign of Wuhen Palace, so it should be no longer in the town. But according to past experience, the massacre happened last night, and those people from Wuhen Palace should not have traveled too far now. "

He paused, then looked up at Song Qinghuan, "This subordinate is worried that word of our presence here today will reach the ears of Wuhen Palace. Qinshui Emperor Ji has always been alarmed, and may find something."

Song Qinghuan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Just now we passed a small town on the way here, and the subordinates sent people to visit it. The town is not too far away from here. If we pass by now, we can still move in in time. After tonight, we will wait until tomorrow morning Let's start again. After that, if we want to avoid the possible traps set by Wuhen Palace ahead, we can bypass Wuzhou and enter Zhaoguo from the border of Wuzhou."

After Xuanying said this, she looked at Song Qinghuan and said, "I don't know what Young Madam thinks?"

Song Qinghuan was slightly pondering.

When they entered the town today, they did not disguise themselves.Wuhen Palace had just bloodbathed Liu's family, maybe they would leave eyeliner here, if the wind came over, it was very likely that they would kill themselves and their party by surprise.

Although Xuanying's suggestion was a bit rushed, it was the safest way.

Blinking her eyelashes, she looked at Ji Liuyun, "I think it's safe to do this, what does Zishu think?"

"Indeed." Ji Liuyun nodded, "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. Now is a special period, so be careful in everything."

"Okay." With Ji Liuyun's approval, Song Qinghuan nodded, and said decisively, "Order it, and set off to the next town immediately."

"Yes." Xuan Ying clasped her fists in response, and hurried down to make arrangements.

Ji Liuyun also stood up, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

"Okay, see you later. Over there, talk to her about Luoluo."

After a while, the back door of the inn was opened from the inside, revealing the figures of several people. The one in the middle, wearing a cloak and covering his face with a hood, was Song Qinghuan.

A carriage was parked at the back door, and Xuanying was already sitting on the shaft waiting.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing supported Song Qinghuan into the carriage, and when they were seated firmly, Xuanying pulled the reins and let out a low cry, the carriage drove out of the alley and galloped towards the entrance of the town, followed by several galloping horses.

In the hotel lobby.

It was late at night, and the inn was closed at this time. The waiter on duty at night was dozing off behind the counter, with his head drooping, as if he was sleeping soundly.After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to be awakened by some sound, and he raised his head abruptly, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement around him.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear the sound of horseshoe Dada.But when I listened carefully, I didn't hear any sound again.

Xiao Er rubbed his eyes, pretending that he had misheard, muttered something, and soon felt sleepy again, and dozed off.

At the end of the long street outside the inn, a carriage and a few horses drove fast and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiao Er woke up again.

This time, he didn't seem to hear anything, but for some reason, he always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

A gust of wind blew into the lobby, making him shiver.

The door of the lobby had already been bolted, but the window on the side was half opened at some point, and the cool night breeze leaked in through the half open window.

Xiao Er frowned suspiciously.

He remembered that he had checked it just before closing, and the windows and doors should be closed, so why were they half-opened again?Without thinking too much, she walked from behind the counter to the window and reached out to close the casement.

Before his hand touched the edge of the window, he suddenly felt a silver light flash in front of his eyes, and before he regained consciousness, he felt a chill on his neck.

There was a burst of pain.

His eyes widened in horror, and his consciousness began to slacken.

The moment he fell to the ground, he saw a red skirt flashing in front of his eyes, and a woman's slightly hoarse voice came faintly.But soon, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground dead.

With a "squeak", the half-open window was pulled open from the outside.

The next second, several men in black leaped in, rolled on the ground, stood up quickly, looked around, put their fingers to their lips, and whistled briefly.

A gust of wind passed by, and a corner of a red dress suddenly appeared at the window, swaying in front of everyone like a cloud.The next moment, a red figure entered through the window and stood still in the lobby.

The one who came in was a woman dressed in red, with a red gauze covering her face, her eyes were cold and enchanting.

"Go upstairs and have a look." The woman in red said hoarsely.

"Yes." The man in black clasped his fists in response, and one of them tapped his toes and jumped up to the second floor.The other men in black waited in place, with their heads bowed, without saying a word.

Soon, the man in black who had just gone upstairs jumped down again.

"Girl, everyone upstairs is already asleep. According to the information I just got, the person you're looking for is in room No. [-] in Tianzi." The man in black cupped his fists and said in a low voice.

The woman in red raised her eyebrows playfully, "Tianzi No. [-] room?" She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the two of them, "Come with me."

Looking around at the other men in black in the lobby, "You and the people outside, go and deal with the other people in this inn, shoot them, don't leave them alive."

The man in black responded in a low voice, and quickly dispersed.

The red-clothed woman crossed her feet a little bit, her belt was in the wind, and her body jumped into the air and jumped up to the second floor.

Standing at the stairs, she glanced at the upper room with the closed door at the end of the corridor, with bloodthirsty coldness in her eyes.

Song Qinghuan, you just wait to die!
Her eyes were hardened, and she moved her hand backwards, leading the two men in black behind her to move quickly and silently towards Room [-] of Tianzi.

After a while, they arrived at the door of Room No. [-] in Tianzi.

The woman in red raised her hand.

A man in black behind him understood, took a step forward, inserted the dagger in his hand through the gap in the door, moved his wrist flexibly for a while, only heard a slight muffled sound, the man in black pushed with his hand, The door swung open.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the woman in red, without any hesitation, she strode into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were fixed on the bed in the back.

The curtains on the bed were lowered, and the brocade quilt on the couch could be vaguely bulged up, as if someone was sleeping.

The hatred in the eyes of the woman in red was even worse, she stepped forward without a sound, suddenly lifted the curtain, and stabbed the sharp sword in her hand towards the bulging brocade.

However, there was no sound of the sword piercing the flesh as expected, not even any sound.

Her face darkened suddenly, and she threw off the quilt.

Inside the quilt, except for a quilt wrapped in a human shape, there was no one at all!
The face of the woman in red immediately twisted, her eyes were red with evil, and her silver teeth were about to be crushed.

Seeing this, the two men in black hurriedly looked around, but found nothing.

The woman in red raised her head unwillingly and looked out the window.

The moonlight outside the window was gradually brightening, and the bright moonlight shone on her face. The delicate facial features on the thin face were somewhat clear, and she was undoubtedly Su Rao, the emperor of Qinshui!
"Girl." The announcement suddenly sounded at the door.

Su Rao withdrew her gaze, looked towards the door suddenly, and said in a low voice, "How is it?"

"If you go back to the girl, the other rooms are also empty, without leaving any trace." The man in black who came to report lowered his head, trembling a little.

"It's unreasonable!" Su Rao clenched her teeth and shouted angrily, her fist had already hit the window sill, making a muffled sound.

The man in black who was present was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say any more.

It took a long time for Su Rao to restrain her anger, and slowly raised her head to look at the man in black at the door, and reluctantly uttered a word, "Withdraw!"

The man in black agreed and left in a hurry.

Su Rao pushed open the window, turned over and jumped into the boundless night.

*
At this time, Song Qinghuan and his party were almost at the entrance of another town.

The few people were not in a hurry to enter the town, but found a secluded place to stop and wait.

After waiting for a cup of tea, a figure galloping appeared in front of him.Seeing this, Xuanying's face was overjoyed, and he jumped off the shaft of the chariot to meet him.After a while, he went and came back again.

"How?" Song Qinghuan leaned out of the carriage and asked.

"Returning to the young lady, the hidden guard has investigated, and there are no people from Wuhen Palace in this town, so you can go in with confidence."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the car.

The carriage moved slowly again.

After a while, he entered the small town.

It was already late at night, and there were no pedestrians on the street, only the watchman passing by occasionally, he didn't dare to look too much, he lowered his head to avoid it, and had already moved forward.

The Yinwei had already made arrangements and booked the inn, so the group went directly to the inn and checked in smoothly.

After tossing all night, it was already early morning, but Song Qinghuan still didn't feel sleepy at all.

Liu Yue and Shen Xing were worried about Song Qinghuan's safety, and insisted on staying here with Song Qinghuan.Song Qinghuan couldn't hold them back, so he had to ask someone to move another soft couch in, and let them stay here tonight for the time being.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning to go on your journey, you should hurry up and rest." Shen Xing persuaded.

Song Qinghuan looked away, nodded thoughtfully, "Yes. You have been tired all day, go to bed early."

Seeing that Song Qinghuan agreed, Liuyue and Shenxing were slightly happy, and helped her to go to bed, turned off the lights, and the two of them also went to sleep on the soft couch.

I don't know how long I slept.

Song Qinghuan had something on her mind, and she didn't sleep well all night.

In a daze, I heard a knock on the door outside.

She was startled, and suddenly woke up from her sleep. She was about to call Liu Yue and Chen Xing, but she saw that Shen Xing had already got up, walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?"

"It's me, Xuanying."

Shen Xing frowned and looked out the window.

At this moment, the sky was just showing a white belly, and it was still early, if Xuan Ying came here at this time, could something have happened?
She looked at Song Qinghuan, waiting for her order.

Song Qinghuan put on his coat under Liuyue's service, hearing the anxiety in Xuanying's tone, and hurriedly said, "Let him in."

Shen Xing nodded and opened the door.

Xuan Ying's voice appeared outside the door, seeing that it was Shen Xing, his tense expression relaxed slightly, "Shen Xing, something has happened, you tell the young lady, we must go on the road immediately!"
