How could the Miao people get involved in the affairs of their prince's palace without any reason? Moreover, they bribed a killer to assassinate him. If so, once found out, it would not be an easy matter.
The murder of the prince and his concubine was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans.
For example, Qiu Xingjian can directly tell that the killer is the Miao Jiang clan, so if Chen Ruyi pursues the investigation, it is possible to destroy the Miao Jiang clan.
The Miao people have a relatively small population and live in seclusion in Moon Bay all year round, and do not go out easily.
Even if envoys from the Central Plains want to enter Moon Bay, they have to go through layers of applications and obtain permission from the Miaojiang high priest before they can set foot in Moon Bay.
If you go to Moon Bay without permission, you may not even be able to pass the first checkpoint of Moon Bay.
This time the Miao people tried to assassinate Chen Ruyi. Could it be that Chen Ruyi did something that endangered the lives of the Miao people?
Jiang Huan frowned, glanced at Qiu Xingjian curiously, and asked tentatively, "Does Chen Ruyi know those Miao people?"
Qiu Xingjian saw through her little thoughts at a glance and smiled mysteriously, "You can leave this question to Chen Ruyi yourself."
After saying that, Qiu Xingjian took out a cigarette bomb from his sleeve and shot it straight into the sky.
The moment the brilliant flames bloomed, a group of dead soldiers emerged from the woods.
All of them were dressed in black attire and their faces were covered with veils, so their faces and expressions could not be seen at all.
In the dark veil, only a slit revealed their eyes.
It's just that everyone's eyes are cruel and indifferent, and there's nothing else to tell.
"You are responsible for the divorce, and I will take the fifth princess to Jiangnan to make peace with the prince." Qiu Xingjian ordered in a cold voice.
The dead soldiers agreed, and then they drew their swords one by one and rushed towards the direction they came from.
Jiang Huan looked at the appearance of the group of dead soldiers, but he was a little confused.
"The dead soldiers have also laid an ambush. You should have expected all this, haven't you?" Jiang Huan almost squeezed out the problem.
She originally thought that she had taken Chen Ruyi under her wing, but now it seems that Chen Ruyi may not need her protection at all.
Chen Ruyi can completely deal with the problems he faces, and can also deal with these killers who don't even know their origins.
Jiang Huan actually felt that he had misunderstood everything.
I originally wanted to help Chen Ruyi ascend the throne smoothly, but I never thought about whether Chen Ruyi needed my help.
Jiang Huan paused and couldn't help but take two steps back. He felt that the Qiu Xingjian in front of him was particularly unfamiliar.
How many secrets do they hide? How many secrets are there that I don’t know about?
Jiang Huan didn't know, and he didn't know where to look.
"I know you have a lot of questions." Qiu Xingjian smiled lightly, as if he had already anticipated Jiang Huan's reactions, "You don't need to be afraid or worried. When you meet Chen Ru, maybe he will feel something about you.
Nothing was done wrong.”
After Qiu Xingjian said that, he summoned two horses left behind by the dead soldiers just now.
He made a gesture of invitation, and Jiang Huan had no choice but to swallow all the confusion in his stomach, and then he climbed onto the horse in a familiar manner, with a neat posture.
And the next moment, the weak scholar Qiu Xingjian whom Jiang Huan thought was also turned around and got on the horse's back neatly.
Jiang Huan watched every move he made, and everything told her: Qiu Xingjian is good at martial arts.
Moreover, Qiu Xingjian's martial arts seemed to be higher than his own, so he didn't need to protect himself at all.
Jiang Huan couldn't help but sigh, and glared at Qiu Xingjian with some resentment, silently expressing his inner anger.
This little move was also caught by Qiu Xingjian.
"You just pulled me and ran too fast. I really couldn't find a chance to tell you. If you want to complain about this, just blame Chen Ruyi for not letting me show off my skills." Qiu Xingjian said sarcastically.
Jiang Huan, who was poor at Qiu Xing's sword, couldn't help but spat, wishing that it would be serious to have a couple of moves with him now.
However, fighting against him is not a priority now. What Jiang Huan needs to do is to find Chen Ruyi as soon as possible so that he can ask clearly what is going on.
"I feel a lot more relieved after you came to the Prince's Mansion." Qiu Xingjian suddenly said these words, and Jiang Huan couldn't help but look sideways at him.
Qiu Xingjian is different from Chen Ruyi. He always smiles, either with joy, politeness, or like now, deep and invisible.
Jiang Huan had nowhere to go to find out what was hidden under his smile.
"With you accompanying Ruyi, he seems to be in a good mood every day, which is also good for his illness." Qiu Xingjian said slowly, the rest of his words were blown away by the wind, and Jiang Huan listened carefully.
But he also listened to it sparsely.
"...Help him..."
A gust of cold wind blew by, blowing the three thousand green hairs of Qiu Xingjian.
Qiu Xingjian's face was covered by his messy hair, and Jiang Huan vaguely seemed to see the deep sadness in his eyes.
"Save him."
-Jiangnan
Compared with the bustling and bustling Kyoto, Jiangnan looks more tender and sweet.
The gurgling water, the woman taking small steps, and the green girl with goat's horns.
Jiang Huan was dazzled by the sight and couldn't help but sigh, "People from Jiangnan really look at Shui Ling very closely."
Qiu Xingjian also puffed up his chest proudly and said with a rather proud expression, "That's natural. The water in the south of the Yangtze River is gentle and nourishes people. I was born here too."
Jiang Huan never thought that Qiu Xingjian was born in Jiangnan.
When he was young, he met and stayed with Chen Ruyi in Kyoto. If he was born in Jiangnan, then he would have been brought to Kyoto to live not long after he was born.
Being so far away from his hometown at such a young age, it seems that Qiu Xingjian still has many secrets that are difficult for him to spy on.
"Since you are from Jiangnan, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" Jiang Huan asked tentatively.
Qiu Xingjian had previously asked her to form an alliance with the Prince's Mansion, but now it was a good opportunity to test his sincerity.
Let's see how much he can tell himself, so that Jiang Huan can decide how much he can tell the Prince's Mansion.
Qiu Xingjian's smile looked a little dim. Just when Jiang Huan thought that nothing could be asked from his mouth, he heard his deep voice, "I was born in a guilty family. If I mention it, I will cause trouble."
A fatal disaster."
Qiu Xingjian slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. The secret hidden in his heart seemed to be pouring out little by little, just waiting for Jiang Huan to capture it.
