The evening breeze passing by the setting sun fluttered the hem of Ruan Ning's cyan skirt, which looked out of place in this yard filled with the smell of blood.

Shen Lichuan looked a little distracted.

While Ruan Ningxiang was staring at the corpse on the ground intently, Shen Lichuan felt for a moment that the scene in front of him was like returning to the time when he fought in the heavenly realm, faced with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

Especially the look in those eyes, focused and heavy.

Familiar feeling.

Shen Lichuan walked forward unknowingly and said, "General Ruan, I have something to say to you alone."

Hearing this, Ruan Ningxiang looked over.

Before she could answer, Chu Yu, who was always alert to someone like a fox, had already blocked Shen Lichuan's sight, "General Shen will be escorting the Uzi envoy south tomorrow, not to mention packing his luggage. Hurry up and get together with your family, and you still have time to come here and mind your own business!"

The tone was full of outright hostility.

Shen Lichuan clenched his fists, accumulating strength in his fists. He stared at Ruan Ningxiang and said again in an accentuated tone: "General Ruan said he would treat me as a friend before, but now I can't even say a word to you?"

Ruan Ningxiang was caught in a dilemma between the two of them. She pulled off Chu Yu's sleeve, shook it gently, and cast a pleading look.

After a long while, Chu Yu struggled hard in his heart before letting go, "One word of time."

These words were spoken with a fierce gaze at Shen Lichuan, and they were also a warning.

The two of them came under the eaves, and Ruan Ningxiang could still feel the burning gaze staring at her not far away.

She kept a step away from Shen Lichuan and took the initiative to speak: "I know that General Shen must be resentful about escorting the Uzi envoy. In fact, I proposed this matter to the emperor. Let me say it first. Feel sorry. "

"You?" Shen Lichuan stared at Ruan Ningxiang in surprise.

"Well, the emperor originally intended to send me there, but I..." Ruan Ningxiang lowered her head guiltily and twirled her fingers, "I don't want to go."

Shen Lichuan was originally full of anger, but now listening to her weak explanation and looking at the delicate and delicate woman in front of him, he felt a little distressed for some reason.

The country of Uzi is a more dangerous and unfamiliar place than Northern Xinjiang.

Shen Lichuan, are you willing to let her go to that kind of place?

The answer is, reluctantly.

"I know I was selfish, but I really had no choice at that time, so..." Ruan Ningxiang raised her eyes with trembling black eyelashes, "If General Shen is really resentful, I am willing to ask the emperor for permission to replace him. you."

"No! You can't go anywhere without my consent!"

Chu Yu, who only gave them a chance to say a word, strode over directly and forcefully pulled them back to the carriage.

"You are led by a woman time and time again. If you continue like this, Tosukawa, something will happen to you sooner or later." The sixth prince came over with a sullen expression.

Shen Lichuan slowly withdrew his disappointed gaze. He didn't want to, but every time he saw Ruan Ningxiang, he felt like he was being manipulated by the other party. He wanted to resist, but in the end... he gave in.

The horse-drawn carriage drove down the street, making a rumble of wheels.

Chu Yu's chest was rolling violently, and he stared at the person closely, wishing he could tie the person to his belt.

Ruan Ningxiang carefully pulled Chu Yu, "I'm really angry."

"What do you think?" Chu Yu's voice trembled with anger.

God knows, when he heard this man say that he would go to Uzi after asking for an order from the emperor, at that moment he really wanted to stab the man who missed his woman every day.

"Didn't we all agree in advance? It's just a show for the people behind the scenes. You also agreed that you will cooperate with me." Ruan Ningxiang poked his chest with her finger, "Enough is enough."

Chu Yu held her hand and said, "But I'm afraid. What if the sixth prince goes to see his father and his father changes his mind?

What if our strategy doesn't lead to the person behind it?

Something happened in Mr. Zhang’s house today, but what about tomorrow?

Ah Xiang, when it comes to you, I can't tolerate any mistakes, do you know that?"

"I know." Ruan Ningxiang lowered her voice, "I can vaguely feel that the people behind us have been spying on our every move."

"The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light." Chu Yu hugged Ruan Ningxiang into his arms, "That's why we have to be more careful."

"Yeah." Ruan Ningxiang nodded,

Chu Yu played with the coral earrings on Ruan Ningxiang's ears, "What do you want to eat later?"

"It's been soaked in the bloody smell for a long time, how can I still eat it?"

Ruan Ningxiang couldn't eat it. She closed her eyes now, her mind was full of bloody pictures, and her stomach was heavy.

"If you can't eat, then have some other appetizers." Chu Yu spoke close to her ear.

The breath he exhaled made Ruan Ningxiang's ears itchy. Ruan Ningxiang avoided it and pretended not to understand what he meant.

I thought that after coming back, this person would be as hungry as before.

The result was no.

He first ordered someone to bring hot water, and then ordered some things to do with mugwort.

When he went out, Ruan Ningxiang secretly cleaned her teeth and chewed a piece of mint leaf that he liked before sitting down with peace of mind and sorting out things.

Chu Yu came over with a fruit plate, "What's written on it?"

Ruan Ningxiang didn't even raise her head, "Let's record today's findings first and see if we can find any clues."

As soon as Ruan Ningxiang spoke, Chu Yu smelled a faint scent of mint, and he also picked out a young leaf and put it in his mouth.

Standing next to her, looking at her as if she were drawing a map, she drew the layout of Zhang's mansion, the place where the body died, and the state of it one by one, and marked the features and doubtful points with a cinnabar pen.

Chu Yu noticed that she had focused on her footprints and haircut, "How did you find that?"

"It's a little suspicious, but I haven't figured it out yet." Ruan Ningxiang stared at the painting, "Did you find anything?"

Chu Yu pointed at the villain in the painting, "There is a third party force that wants to kill the people here."

"Um?"

Ruan Ningxiang turned around, and with a bang, her forehead hit Chu Yu's chin. The pain caused her to whimper, "Your chin is so hard."

"Open your mouth and let me see."

"Knocked it down..." As soon as Ruan Ningxiang spoke again, Chu Yu quickly stuffed something over.

Sweet and sour, licorice flavored plum.

Ruan Ningxiang chewed the candied fruit and murmured in a dumbfounded voice, "You don't care about whether it hurts me first, but you care about whether I eat it or not."

Her forehead turned a little red, and Chu Yu blew gently on her, "It hurts, I know, it hurts me too, I feel bad."

"Glib tongue." Ruan Ningxiang chewed plum blossoms, "You said it was a third party that killed them?"

Chu Yu took another hawthorn cake flavored with tangerine peel and stuffed it into Ruan Ningxiang's mouth, "First of all, the assassins had poisons and stab wounds on their bodies. The fatal ones were the stab wounds. Then why did the people behind the assassination poison them?

?”

"The people who ordered them to do things killed people to silence them afterwards." Ruan Ningxiang guessed.

"That's half right, but it's not after the fact, but at the scene." Chu Yu leaned on the table and chewed a mint candy, "July and a half is not an immediately fatal poison. They didn't find that the wine was poisonous, which means that the wine is poisonous.

It was strong, and there wasn't much poison in the wine, so it didn't arouse their suspicion.

But in July and a half, there are components of the Huanyan flower, which can make people excited. Adding alcohol will double the effect. This excitement is not necessarily sexual, but also emotional.

Therefore, at first they were fierce, but as they fought later, their blood flow accelerated, and the deeper the toxins eroded, the more powerless they were. When they killed four Jinyi guards, they were killed by Wang Meng who insisted on being the last."

Ruan Ningxiang was confused when she heard this, "Isn't Wang Meng dead too? How did you determine that he was the last one to die?"
