laughed.
The smile is warm and obedient.

Xue Cai closed his eyes and sat in the carriage. Beside him were volumes of files, which almost filled up the rest of the carriage. And this is just the archives of Ruyimen for twenty years. There is also the one hundred years ago, because the disciples are almost all dead, so there is no need to worry, they stay in Pin Congmu's house, and send someone to tidy up slowly.
Xue Cai is in a good mood at the moment.
He remembered the line written by Empress Jiang on the memorial: "The family loses its children, and the country loses its virtue. The pain of the people is the crime of the king." There are also tears on the words.
Finally, finally, she had an explanation for her words.
Regardless of the process, as long as the result is good, it is good.
He lowered his eyelashes and told the driver to go faster. He wants to go back. Return to Bi country as soon as possible, and return to that person as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, Zhu Long rushed over on his horse and called out, "Master Xiang! Master Xiang—"
Xue Cai ordered the driver to stop, and with great effort squeezed out from the hill-like log: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Long's expression was very serious: "Yishu has escaped."
Xue Cai's eyes suddenly sank.
***
When Xue Cai was in Haishi, she walked up Quelai Mountain quickly wearing a starlight.
After he captured Yishu here, he dispatched several teams to the outside world, making people think that he had secretly transferred the queen to another place, but in fact she was still imprisoned in the tower, guarded by ten of Bai Zeli's most loyal subordinates, They were all old people who had been with Ji Ying for many years.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to leak the wind. How did Yishu escape?
When he walked into the tower, at first sight, he saw Yundi's corpse, which was full of swords, like a hedgehog.
"Yundi sacrificed himself and entangled everyone so that Yishu could escape. Moreover, he killed all of us by himself."
Around Yundi, there were ten people lying around in disorder.
From the death of everyone, Xue Cai could reproduce the tragic situation at that time in his mind, but he was not busy moving, but squinted his eyes and said: "They all took medicine and couldn't exercise. How did they recover?" of?"
Zhu Long's expression changed, and finally he lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid...among the ten people, someone betrayed."
Xue Cai walked around among the ten corpses, and finally stopped in front of one corpse: "He is a betrayer."
"Because he was the first to die?"
"He knew that he would die in betrayal, so he simply died in the hands of Yundi first. He was the first to die, so he died so simply, he really didn't suffer much pain..." Xue Cai's face was dark, and he simply kicked the corpse hard, "Look up his identity, why he helped Yishu."
"Yes." Zhu Long paused, then asked again, "The queen has escaped, what should Yi Fei do?"
"Yuxi is still there, Yuan Su is still there, and Yishu's crimes can be announced to the world. The people are furious, let's see where she can escape!"
Xue Cai said coldly.
At this time, he is not very worried, because the overall situation is still in control on his side.
But with the deepening of the investigation, the information Zhu Long brought back was very bad: "The subordinate who betrayed is called Yuan Jing. According to the records of the Four Kingdoms, he is from Yiguo. I have sent people to his hometown to continue to investigate. In addition Hu Jiuxian had been pretending to be sick in Luwan before. After the Luwan shipwreck, we went to his residence but did not find him. Yesterday, the maritime patrol ship sent back news that a ship from the Hu family left from Fengxian County. There were Hu Qianniang and that A maid named Qian Se. But I don’t know if there is Hu Jiuxian.”
"You mean... Yishu is likely to be picked up by Hu Jiuxian and taken to Yiguo?" Xue Cai was taken aback.
"Grandfather He has already gone after that boat."
Xue Cai walked around the tower with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped in front of Yundi's body, and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Where are Ma Fu and Zhou Xiaolian?"
"After learning that Hu Jiuxian might have a problem yesterday, I immediately sent someone to investigate the two of them, and they disappeared with Hu Jiuxian."
"It's okay if Hu Jiuxian really took him away. He is the richest man in the four countries. It is impossible to hide. He will come out to show his face after all. I'm afraid..."
"I'm afraid that someone will hide behind him and use him to cover our eyes."
Xue Cai frowned in thought, and after a while said: "Write to King Yi. Tell him everything that happened here."
"Will King Yi help?"
"He..." Xue Cai's expression suddenly became a little impatient, "If he doesn't help, we won't pay back the money!"
Before the national treasury was empty, Queen Jiang Guanyi borrowed a large sum of money. Xue Cai was not in the capital at the time, but when she found out, she was so angry that she lost her temper with the queen. Therefore, he was still very angry when he mentioned this matter at this moment. Zhu Long raised his eyebrows, thinking he understood.
Xue Cai walked out of the ancient pagoda and looked at the land full of waste under the moonlight. The crisis has not been really resolved, just like life, full of variables.
In the end, he only said one sentence: "No matter what, go home first."
go home.
When there is endless turmoil outside, put it aside and go home first.
He has been away from that person for too long. It's been too long to look at the moonlight.
