Qi Ning said to the outside, "Wait a minute." Then she said softly to Yifu: "You rest first, I'll go out and come back later."

Yifu nodded lightly, and Qi Ning stood up and helped Yifu cover it. After going out, he took the door and walked to the courtyard. Qi Feng followed behind him and then whispered: "Marty, that boy did not stay in the palace. He had been in a music shop in the city last night, and there were several children of the officials around him."

"Oh?" Qi Ning sneered: "It's indeed an acting."

"He didn't go back to the palace last night, and slept in Lefang. He came out of the palace at noon today, and then returned to the palace." Qi Feng lowered his voice and said, "He left the palace just now, but he was at the Lefang yesterday. I secretly asked someone to ask. This kid spends ten days a month in the major Lefang in the city."

"He is still in the music shop?" Qi Ning asked.

Qi Feng nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be another night tonight. Marquis, why should you keep an eye on that kid?"

Qi Ning didn't answer, saying, "Qi Feng, I want to assign you to do something."

"Mr. Please give me instructions."

"As soon as tomorrow dawn, you will take Yifu out of the city." Qi Ning said: "Go to the city to find a comfortable carriage, escort it along the way, and send Yifu back to the Black Rock Cave."

Qi Feng was stunned and said, "Mr. Marquis, send Miss Yifu away? Then... she is still recovering from the wounds. There are still many roads in the Black Rock Cave. Isn't it too hasty?"

"Ifu's injury is not too big a problem." Qi Ning said: "It's just that I have to rest. Chengdu is too dangerous to keep her here. You will take Zhou Shun and the others away tomorrow. By the way, has Li Tang not come back yet?"

He sent Li Tang to Qingcheng Mountain to inquire about the situation of the temple, but Li Tang never turned around.

Qi Feng said: "Li Tang has always been cautious in his work, so the marquis doesn't have to worry about it."

Qi Ning nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "Yes, which door did that kid leave the palace?"

"As soon as the main gate of the Shu Palace enters the darkness, it will be closed." Qi Feng explained: "Around the palace, there are people patrolling at night, and the back door is also closed. I see that Li Yuan comes out from the east door."

"That's good." Qi Ning said: "You should prepare quickly and leave tomorrow morning."

Qi Feng seemed to have a premonition, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked softly: "Marty, what are you...what are you going to do?"

"It's your turn to ask about my business?" Qi Ning's face darkened. "If you want to do things, you can do it honestly." He gave a few more words, and went back to the house, closed the door, and sat down next to Yifu. Seeing Yifu open his eyes, he said softly: "Has it disturbed you?"

Yifu shook her head slightly and was about to speak, when Qi Ning waved her hand and said softly: "Don't talk, listen to me."

Yifu nodded, and then Qi Ning whispered: "I have made arrangements. You will leave Chengdu early tomorrow morning..."

Ifu's eyes immediately showed an anxious look, and Qi Ning whispered: "You are injured and it's not good to stay in Cheng. I will send my subordinates to escort you away."

"Then...will you go with me?" Efu's body struggled slightly, and Qi Ning held it gently, saying, "I have the last thing I haven't finished. Once the matter is over, I can catch up immediately. You set out first, I'm afraid I'll catch up before you return to Heiyan Ridge."

Although Efu was sometimes anxious, she was definitely not a stupid person. She felt something vaguely and shook her head and said, "No...you...you should go together, let's go together, I...!"

"Don't talk." Qi Ning's expression became serious: "The Han people say that marrying chickens, following chickens, following dogs, following dogs. Although you have not passed the door yet, you are already my wife, so I asked you to leave. You must leave and you must not discuss it." His tone was softer: "Don't worry, I said I'll go to you soon and I will definitely not break my promise."

Seeing that Qi Ning was determined, Yifu knew that it would be useless to say more.

The next morning, Qi Feng prepared the carriage, and the Miao warriors who accompanied Yifu to protect Qi Ning to Chengdu were also ready. Zhou Shun and another guard were also ordered by Qi Ning to follow Qi Feng to escort Yifu back to Heiyanling.

Qi Ning personally carried Yifu into the car. Before he left, he saw Wei Shutong suddenly coming. When he saw this scene, he was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Marquis, is this going back to Beijing?"

Qi Ning shook her head and smiled, "The real murderer behind the assassination has not been found yet, so of course I will not leave like this. It's just that Yifu was injured and was not adapted to the local conditions here. Moreover, there are more skilled doctors in the Miao village, so I sent her back to recuperate first."

Wei Shutong arrived: "So that's it." He also said: "The lower-ranking official transferred a team of troops to escort along the way?"

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "No need to work." He asked, "Yes, Lord Wei came here so early, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, I have to discuss with the marquis." Wei Shu said, "The marquis is an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, so the subordinate wants to ask the marquis to review the soldiers and horses in Chengdu. I wonder if the marquis can arrange it?"

Qi Ning said: "Let's talk about this matter again. I will visit Lord Wei tonight."

Wei Shutong didn't say much, and said a few polite words before saying goodbye.

Qi Ning sent Yifu out of the city. After leaving the city, she got on the carriage and asked softly: "Can you hold on?"

But Ef's eyes were already red, biting her lip and not speaking.

"I said, don't worry." Qi Ning reached out and touched Yifu's hair, and said softly: "Wait for me, when I see you again, I will definitely bring you a big gift." He kissed Yifu's forehead, and Yifu held Qi Ning's hand, tears rolled down, and said: "Don't lie to me when you speak."

"Don't cheat, no cheat." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I am honest and well-known to everyone in the world, and I will not cheat."

Seeing that he was serious, Yifu couldn't help laughing. Qi Ning nodded, then got off the carriage and gave Qi Feng a few instructions. Qi Feng looked solemn and said, "Marty, I will send Miss Yifu back to the Heiyan Cave and hurry back immediately."

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "You are waiting for me in Miao Village. If I haven't arrived for a long time, you will set off and return to Beijing first."

"Marquis..." Qi Feng's throat was dry and he was choking: "We are following the guards around the Marquis. If the Marquis... If the Marquis makes a mistake, we will have no face to go back and have to commit suicide and apologize."

"Nonsense." Qi Ning frowned and said, "I'm pretty good. What does it mean to be a mistake? The dog can't say good things. Now I'm going to go on the road immediately. If Efu loses a piece of hair, I won't spare you then."

Qi Feng bowed and the others bowed deeply. Then he turned over and left in the carriage guarding Yifu. Qi Ning couldn't see the shadow of the carriage, and then entered the city and returned to Guanyi.

On this day, Qi Ning did not come out of the official post in the official post, and he also told the officials in the official post that he would not see anyone.

At dusk, Qi Ning's door was knocked open. When Qi Ning opened the door, she found that it was Li Tang who was back.

"Mr.." Li Tang entered the house and reported in a low voice: "I went to Qingcheng Mountain, found the temple, pretended to be a pilgrimage, and entered the temple. There was nothing special about the temple." Seeing Qi Ning signaling herself to sit down, half of her butt was placed beside the chair, "Last night, I went over and found that the temple was very strict at night. The monk in the temple was wandering around with a knife. I wanted to go in, but my people discovered it...!" Speaking of this, I felt ashamed: "I can't...!"

Qi Ning shook her head and said, "Don't blame yourself, what will happen later?"

"I was discovered and could only escape. Fortunately, the terrain of Qingcheng Mountain was complex, and more than a dozen monks were chasing me on the mountain. I finally got out." Li Tang said: "Those monks are not weak in martial arts. Marquis, I knew at a glance that the temple was not as simple as it looks."

Qi Ning smiled coldly and said, "How could the temple donated by the King of Shu in Xichuan be simple?"

"Mr. Marquis, I wanted to find another opportunity to go in and inquire, but I was worried that I would not return for a long time. Marquis is worried, so I came back to report first." Li Tang whispered: "I will go again and find out clearly."

"No need." Qi Ning said: "I heard that Li Hongxin donated more than one temple. Please find out where he donated several temples. Remember to be careful."

Li Tang said: "I understand. Yes, Marquis, Qi Feng and the others are not seen, right?"

Qi Ning didn't hide it. She briefly said that Li Tang and Qi Feng were both guards of Jinyi Hou Mansion. This time, Qi Ning chose the famous guards. Not only were they not weak in martial arts, but they were also very clever. When Li Tang heard this, he knew that things were strange. He looked up and saw a long black package on the table. He was stunned for a moment and did not ask much.

"You have worked hard all the way, take a break early." Qi Ning whispered: "You will stay in this room tonight and the lights are lit."

Li Tang thought for a while and finally said, "Does the Marquis go out to do something?" He lowered his voice: "If the Marquis has something, just leave it to his subordinates to do it. The Marquis is waiting here."

"No need." Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I have to do some things myself. You just stay here and make people just think that I've been in the house all the time."

Li Tang knew that Qi Ning was leaving behind to hide his eyes and was worried, "Mr. Marquis, or...!"

"No need to say more." Qi Ning shook his head, "You are waiting here."

It soon became dark. When it got completely dark, Qi Ning turned behind the screen. When he came out again, he had already put on an extremely ordinary coarse cloth dress and had a black turban on his head. Under the dim light, at first glance, he looked like an ordinary person coming and going in Chengdu.

Li Tang frowned slightly. Qi Ning had already picked up the black package on the table, raised his hand and patted Li Tang on the shoulder. Without saying much, he opened the door and left.

Li Tang wanted to follow him, but hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, and murmured to himself: "Mr. Marquis, you must return safely!"
