pungent peasant girl

Chapter 466 Strange Things

Right now, Luo Ziyan is flipping through a book.

Meng Qianyan rushed over and lay on his shoulder.

Luo Ziyan supported her, "What's the matter? Are you still tired from playing?"

"Isn't that right? I've been with Miss Fan all day long. She was chattering, maybe she said something."

"Okay, our family has worked hard for Qianyan, so my husband will get you some face wash, and you can go to bed after washing."

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the bed."

When Luo Ziyan came back with water, Meng Qianyan unexpectedly fell asleep afterwards.

Luo Ziyan had no choice but to wipe her face and hands with a towel, and then brought out the wooden tray.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

As soon as Luo Ziyan went out, a young man ran over from outside.

"What's wrong? Call me something?"

"My lord, someone is looking for you outside."

Luo Ziyan was surprised, "When is this, is there still someone looking for me?"

"Yes, it's at the back door. If it wasn't for the back door, the slave would have refused. The slave just wanted to ask Master Qiying, but Master Qiying has already fallen asleep."

Luo Ziyan thought for a while, "That's fine, you pour the water, I'll go and see it myself."

Since everyone else is asleep, there is no need to bother.

He went back to the house, took a cloak and put it on, and walked quickly to the back door.

"Huh? What about people?"

He arrived at the back door, but he didn't see anyone at the back door.

He took a few steps outside, and the alley was empty, and he didn't see anyone at all.

Could it be that the boy is lying?

Probably not.

He remembered that this boy was familiar.

Just as he was thinking, there was a low sound of running in the distance.

It looks like there are three or four people.

In the cold wind, an inexplicable murderous aura permeated the air.

Luo Ziyan subconsciously looked at the ground, only to see footprints on the snow-covered ground.

"Someone really came?"

He became more curious, so he walked towards the footprints at a leisurely pace.

Then, as he walked, the footprints stopped.

He looked up abruptly, and there was a wall in front of him.

Without thinking, he jumped over.

After crossing the wall, he saw two black shadows squatting on the ground.

The night was dark, and there was no light in the alley.

Can't see what they're doing.

"who!"

he scolded.

The two people seemed to have heard his voice, glanced this way, and then ran quickly.

Luo Ziyan chased forward, but suddenly saw two people lying on the ground.

"Who are you?" He knelt down and shook the two people.

But the two men remained motionless.

He subconsciously sniffed, and then his expression turned serious.

"It turned out to be dead."

Who is so bold and dares to kill people in the capital.

And this location is very close to Dahe's palace.

When he frowned and thought, suddenly his ears moved slightly.

He heard running in the distance.

He stood up, trying to back away.

It's too late.

In an instant.

The flames shot up into the sky, as if someone from the government rushed over with torches and surrounded him layer by layer.

"My lord, he's already dead." A guard looked through the bodies of the two people below and reported.

"What? He died?"

The leader was wearing a military officer's uniform, and he looked like an official who guarded the capital of the country.

Luo Ziyan asked, "Who are you?"

The other party's black eyes widened, and he said sharply: "I am Zhang Tiannan, the commander in charge of the capital's security. Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Can't you see who I am?" Luo Ziyan took off the cap of his cloak and revealed his face.

When Tian Nan saw it, he looked horrified, and quickly knelt down, "The last general will see His Royal Highness Fourth Prince, His Highness is thousand years old."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhang Tiannan stood up and looked around again, "Your Highness, the general has something to say, I wonder if I can ask it."

"Just ask."

"Your Highness, who are these two people?"

"I do not know."

"Then how did they die?"

"I do not know either."

"Here, Your Highness, why are you here?"

Luo Ziyan said bluntly, "The boy in my mansion told me that someone was looking for me outside. I went all the way here and found these two corpses. I was about to check it out when you guys arrived."

Zhang Tiannan nodded, "That's right. The last general also just heard the patrolling soldiers say that there is a situation here, that there are people chasing someone with a knife on his side, and the last general chased him over. He didn't expect that the Fourth Highness was also there."

"Yeah, this matter is beyond my expectation. Come and see, do you know these two people?"

"it is good."

Zhang Tiannan responded and squatted down. A guard raised a torch.

Torches illuminate the bodies of the two men.

Looking at the faces of these two people, Zhang Tiannan felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't tell who they were.

He took off the clothes of the two people again and looked at them.

I saw that the two men had a dagger stuck in their bodies respectively.

Zhang Tiannan frowned, "Come here, pull out the dagger."

The guard stepped forward and pulled out the two daggers with force, and the blades were still stained with bright red blood.

Zhang Tiannan wiped the dagger clean with a handkerchief.

Looking at his actions, Luo Ziyan was still thinking about who called him just now.

He didn't know these two people either.

"Fourth, Your Royal Highness."

At this time, Zhang Tiannan raised his head, looking at Luo Ziyan with some surprise in his expression.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ziyan looked over.

Zhang Tiannan quickly stopped the surprise again.

"No, it's okay, Fourth Highness, this dagger will have to be taken back, and people will have to take it back, so that the investigation can proceed. Otherwise, Your Highness should go back to the residence to rest."

"Alright, you guys check it out, I'm going back first, be careful."

After speaking, Luo Ziyan returned to the prince's mansion the same way.

Back at the mansion, the night was already getting darker.

The boy who was looking for him just now was still waiting for him.

"Fourth Highness, are you okay just now? Why does the servant seem to see the fire?"

"Yes, Zhang Tiannan is arresting people."

"Hey, I scared the servant to death. The fire has been lit for a long time."

"What?" Luo Ziyan suddenly stopped when he heard the words, "You said, the fire has been on for a long time? When did it start?"

"That's right, before the slave came to look for His Highness, he saw the fire from a distance."

"At that time—" Luo Ziyan murmured.

For some reason, he always felt that what happened just now was very strange and inexplicable.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Forget it, you go down first, we will talk about what we have tomorrow."

When Luo Ziyan returned to the dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He wanted to talk to Meng Qianyan, but Meng Qianyan fell asleep too soundly.

So, he gave up and fell asleep first.

But he didn't sleep well that night.

Before dawn, he woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he found Qiying and Qin Wu.

"What? There is such a strange thing?" Qin Wu also felt very strange after hearing Luo Ziyan's narration.

Qiying's eyes were a little panicked, "Your Highness, the people looking for you don't have anything to do with those dead and murderers, do they?"

"I don't know, but something is wrong with this."
