The coachman turned around and got into the carriage, carefully picked up a box from it, and handed it in front of me: "This is it."

I frowned and reached out to take it.

The box is not big, and you can hold it with both hands, and the weight is not light or heavy. I don’t know what is inside.

Liu Qinghan looked at me, then looked at the box, turned to the coachman and said, "Who asked you to bring it to her?"

The coachman said honestly: "He is a middle-aged man, who looks like he is in his thirties."

"What does it look like?"

"This - he looks like an ordinary person, not eye-catching, and is very sturdy."

"Where did he give it to you?"

"Just outside the Yasser. The boss suddenly told me that the business was coming urgently today and asked me to leave at night. I rushed over and collected the money. As soon as I drove out of the back door, the man came up and stopped me and asked me if I had come to Jixiang Village to pick up people. I said yes, and the man politely took me the box and asked me to bring it to the lady who rented the car."

"How is he dressed?"

"It's just a simple dress, just dress up short."

"Then, did he leave anything?"

"No, I just said that after opening the lady, I'll know." After that, the coachman thought about it again and said, "By the way, the man asked me if I wanted to pick up the lady to the capital. I said yes, he asked me to catch the bus along the way and take care of the lady more. He gave it to me...hehe."

He said and laughed.

I know without asking, I must have given him some extra money, but I can't control these things.

Liu Qinghan turned his head and looked at me, nodding slightly.

This is also very clear. The only one who came to deliver the goods was a servant. There should be a master behind him, but the master did not show up. And the owner actually said that I opened the box and found out after I opened it. He was obviously an acquaintance. He even knew that I was leaving Jixiang Village and going to the capital. He also gave the coachman an extra reward to let him take good care of me.

Who is spying on my whereabouts?

At this time, Liu Qinghan said, "You open it and take a look."

I bit my lower lip and nodded.

Then, he reached out to push the buckle of the box and lifted the lid.

It was too dark. When the box opened, it was almost pitch black inside, and we couldn't see anything. Just as I was confused and my hands trembled slightly, a faint cold light flashed in front of me.

Inside the box is an arrow!

As soon as he saw this thing, Liu Qinghan was stunned and said blankly: "What is this?"

He didn't understand at all, nor did he understand why someone suddenly sent me an arrow at this time, but when I saw the cold light flashing, the arrow lying quietly at the bottom of the box suddenly froze.

With a trembling hand, the box fell from my palm and fell to the ground with a clang.

Liu Qinghan immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked at me: "What's wrong?"

“…”

"What happened?"

"..." I looked up at him, then looked down at the arrow that had fallen into the grass. When I opened my mouth, my voice trembled slightly, but I didn't know what to say, so I just said in silence: "I... that..."

He glanced at me, immediately squatted down and picked it up, put the arrow back in the box, and then said to me, "What the hell is going on, please tell me clearly."

At this time, Xiao Yusheng on the other side seemed to feel something was wrong. He got off the boat and walked over, but saw that both of us looked solemn. Liu Qinghan said softly: "Don't be anxious, think it through and tell me. Is there any danger? Or is someone threatening you? Tell me."

I calmed down, but didn't speak immediately, but lowered my head and looked at the arrow carefully.

This is a three-winged arrow, which was created very surprisingly, and the blade was also very sharp. There is no doubt that such arrows would turn into a bolt of lightning when they cross the night sky, which could pierce anyone's flesh and blood.

Just like that night many years ago!

Originally, I no longer recalled what happened that night. After all, what happened that night changed my destiny. After all, so many years have passed, although there is always a faint doubt that cannot be left in my heart. Back then, the one who has been guarding my house and saved me from the thief with an arrow, but later, he shot Pei Yuanxiu in the chest, almost killing him on the spot. Who is that person, or that force?!

Now that the arrow appeared in the box, all the memories of the beginning became clear.

And my face instantly faded away, leaving me as pale as ice.

I slowly raised my head and looked at Liu Qinghan's eyes. His eyes were concerned and gentle, but with an irresistible force. It seems that if he didn't figure out this matter, he would not plan to leave, let alone let me leave.

I thought about it, turned around and walked aside, and he and Xiao Yusheng hurriedly followed, and then I told them intermittently what happened.

But I didn't tell him that that night, when I stood in that small yard, facing Pei Yuanxiu's dying situation, and facing Yao Lao's sorrowful begging, I saw the fireworks rising above Yangzhou City.

That was the fireworks he saw when he killed all the corrupt officials who were dependent on Pei Yuanxiu in Yangzhou Prefecture.

I said calmly, and he also listened calmly, but for some reason, my voice slowly lowered, and his head slowly lowered.

I could hardly see the expression on his face, and could only feel a chill that emanated from the arrowheads that kept flashing with cold light in his hand.

When I finished speaking, he was silent for a long time before he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse: "This is the beginning-"

“It may not be the same.”

I interrupted him, looked at the arrowhead, and said slowly: "Although the arrowhead was also taken away by Yao Lao, I guess they must have investigated it, but they haven't mentioned this again for so many years, and obviously no results were found."

"Then this--"

If this was the original one, that is, it was sent by Pei Yuanxiu.

But I knew it was impossible. If it were him, if it was him, he would not hold my troops still, nor would he instruct the coachman to take good care of me to go north. He would only capture me and let me return to that comfortable inner courtyard like a golden cage.
