Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 631

After he finished drinking, Xilan put the small cup back into the food box, and by the way, he didn't forget, "I told you it's delicious, but you still look like a big enemy."

"It doesn't taste good..." Ling Zimo complained in a low voice.

It's not a nuisance, but he's never had a sweet tooth.

"What did you say?" Without the hearing of a martial arts practitioner, Xilan couldn't hear what he just said after a distance.

"It's nothing." Ling Zimo immediately put away his disgusted expression, blinked and said, "Madam is right."

"Really?" Xilan glanced at him suspiciously, but she didn't intend to go any further.

"Yes." Ling Zimo pretended to be nonchalant, picked up the memorial and continued to review it.

Fortunately, the sound was not loud just now...

...

Xuzhou, Hanle County, Minshan.

"Pavilion Master, this is the corpse we found." Huang Liren led Tang Jin forward to a tree.

There, a middle-aged man's corpse was half leaning on the root of the tree, his tongue was cut off, and his heart was gouged out with a knife. He died in a miserable state.

Tang Jin squatted down next to the corpse, checked it carefully, and said calmly, "It is indeed Du Siyuan, how long did it take you to find him?"

"Reporting to Pavilion Master, you personally ordered the search for Du Siyuan, and your subordinates dare not delay. After discovering this corpse, I immediately reported it to you. It is only an hour since you arrived here."

"One hour..." Tang Jin frowned, "Looking at his appearance, he has been dead for at least half a day."

"It's about half a day's journey from Minshan to the place where we captured Wu Maokun, and it takes a whole day to add up."

"That is to say... from the time you lost Du Siyuan, they started to kill people and silence them."

Hearing this, Huang Liren immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and confessed his mistake, "Pavilion Master forgive me, it's because my subordinates are incompetent."

Even though this kind of seventh-rank small officials, the Qianji Pavilion sent out to monitor them were all ordinary people.

The person sent by Yaojing to help them is probably the same, they are not very powerful.

But Qianji Pavilion's job is to collect intelligence and inquire about news.He was robbed by the other party under their noses, and it's really embarrassing to say it.

"There is nothing to forgive." Tang Jin said lightly, "You lost your target without you realizing it, and it took you so long to find it."

"With all the conditions put together, do you still think that the other party came this time only with ordinary staff?"

Hearing this, Huang Liren was startled, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Pavilion Master, what do you mean...the other party has come to be a master this time?!"

"Maybe."

"But this Du Siyuan is just a seventh-rank official, and Wu Maokun is just a connector and military adviser sent by the Bai family to Du Siyuan. The two of them are not important people, how could...?!"

Although the facts are in front of his eyes, Huang Liren still finds it difficult to accept.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Liren continued, "It's also an accident that these two people were taken away in the first place."

"Because Hexi County is the last few places Mr. Zhao visited, they have plenty of time, and the people we monitor are also relaxed, so we let them find opportunities."

"Such a thing happened not only in one place in Hexi County, but also in two other places."

"But the people in those two places were quickly found again, and then they were tracked down. Only this place..."

There are cases where the target is robbed, and there are cases where people are killed and silenced, but this is the first time I have seen this weird situation of one kill and one protection.
