Chapter 55: Whereabouts Leaked

After reading the emperor's handwritten letter, Zhu Jinxuan felt a little warmer and a little shame after reading the letter sent by secret letters.

Her emperor brother still loves her. If she really only cares about the so-called majesty of the Tian family, how could she agree to let her continue to run outside after receiving her letter, and asked Hu Xiaolin and Dongchang not to follow her anymore. Instead, she asked Hu Xiaolin and Dongchang to help her as much as possible.

On the other hand, she has always been concerned about herself since she was a child. This time she was so bold that she secretly left the capital, regardless of how worried and anxious her brother would make her brother feel after she left. She never considered how much pressure she would put on her brother.

Compared to Zhu Jinxuan, who was missing his brother with a little guilt, Bai Shier did not immediately write the letter after getting the letter from Zhu Jinxuan, but instead held the envelope containing the letter in his hand and looked over and over, as if he wanted to find something from it.

"Is there anything weird about this envelope?"

Bai Shier's movements were so strange that even Zhu Jinxuan, who was feeling grateful for her brother, was aroused by his actions. She couldn't help but look up and down the envelope and asked with a curious look on her face.

"Don't worry, I'm still looking for it."

After turning and turning, Bai Shier didn't see what he wanted to see, he felt a little discouraged and unwilling to give up. After answering Zhu Jinxuan casually, he pulled out the long sword placed on the table.

Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help frowning when she saw Bai Shier's rude way of using a sword to dismember the envelope "Five Horses" and felt a little unhappy. After all, this was the first item she had obtained from her relatives in such a long time, but now she was cut into pieces by Bai Shier's rude way, so she naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ha, I know."

However, the unhappiness in her heart was immediately suppressed by Bai Shier's cry of surprise and relief.

"What, what did you find?"

Zhu Jinxuan hurried over.

"Hey, nothing, it's just a little tacit understanding with my brother-in-law."

Bai Shier put his sword into the sheath and handed a small piece of the cut envelope to Zhu Jinxuan.

"spit."

Zhu Jinxuan, who took the envelope handed over by Bai Shier, was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized the meaning of the three words "brother-in-law". A blush immediately rose on her face, and then she couldn't help but spat at him with shame.

"Um?"

However, after looking down at the content on the paper, she looked at Bai Shier again with curiosity and a little dissatisfaction, pouted and questioned him.

"What did you do in the letter I handed over to the emperor?"

Zhu Jinxuan was naturally dissatisfied. This guy actually tampered with his letter from his home and even hid it from him.

"Ahem, how dare I move your letter?"

Bai Shier looked at Zhu Jinxuan's eyes and immediately couldn't help coughing. He said vaguely, as if he wanted to cover it up.

At the same time, I felt a little guilty and I was a little proud.

"All right."

However, he thought that he would just pass by vaguely, which obviously would not work in front of Zhu Jinxuan. Facing Zhu Jinxuan's eyes that were still staring at him firmly and the "storm" brewing on his face, Bai Shier could only raise his hand to surrender, obediently and truthfully explained the "hands and feet" he had done in the letter Zhu Jinxuan sent back to the capital.

"In that letter, I wrote a few words on the inside of the envelope. But don't worry, I haven't changed the content of the letter at all."

"What did you write?"

Although Bai Shier tried to cover up the words of louder and longer behind, Zhu Jinxuan, who was already very familiar with him, immediately grasped the point. At the same time, a bad premonition arose in her heart. With her understanding of Bai Shier, she felt that what Bai Shier wrote on the back of the envelope would definitely make her heart beat faster.

"nothing,"

Bai Shier waved his hand and said with a relaxed look on his face, but his voice couldn't help but lowered a lot.

"I just told my brother-in-law that after finishing this, I will take you back to the capital to visit him and discuss the marriage, so that he will not be so anxious..."

Bai Shier said in a nagging manner, but Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but cover her face.

Although Bai Shier said it easily and simply, she knew that what he wrote might be similar in meaning to what he said now, but his tone and attitude were definitely not as relaxed as he is now.

However, in this way, she finally understood why her brother, who had always been called a gentleman, wrote only a short, but full of arrogance in his "reply" to Bai Shier.

"Let's wait and see!"

This is all the content of the emperor's reply to Bai Shier.

What should I see? Zhu Jinxuan seems to be able to guess some of the probabilities. She is undoubtedly deeply troubled by this, but she also knows the nature of these two men who are closest to her. It is obviously impossible for her to give in either side.

However, there should be still a lot of time before that day, and she shouldn't have to start having a headache so early.

"Forget it, there will be a road before the car arrives at the mountain! Let's talk about it then."

In the end, she decided not to think about this matter for the time being.

With this time, it’s better to think about what to do next to seize Mu Yixing and connect the clues that were broken again so that the case will continue to be investigated downward.

...

Ye Bi, who didn't know the dramatic scene that happened in Quanzhou Prefecture City, was riding his horse slowly walking along the official road towards the west.

Quanzhou Prefecture City is backed by the sea, so when exploring Mu Yixing's escape route, they avoided the trouble of exploring eastward.

There were just three directions left, so Peng Zhenlei decided to separate the four of them and go to investigate in the three directions. This is also the most common way for these four of them to do things.

Peng Zhenlei went south, Ye Bi went west, and the Tie brothers and sisters went north.

Although the four geniuses of the Six Gates mentioned in the world only mentioned Tie Wenbin's name alone, the heads of the six Gates knew that Tie Wenbin and Tie Wenlan, the brother and sister combined together could support the title of a geniuses, and the two of them did always act together and did not have a time to disperse.

Compared to the figures of Peng Zhenlei and the Tie brothers and sisters who immediately rode away on horseback after they were dispersed, Ye Bi, who had impure motives when he proposed, naturally had his "reality revealed" after he had no outsiders around him.

From the beginning, he never expected that the four of them could find Mu Yixing's whereabouts, let alone catch him.

He didn't forget that just a few days ago, the four of them and Bai Shier almost made dumplings by Mu Yixing's subordinates. Even if he really lost his luck, he found out that Mu Yixing's whereabouts, he was afraid that what he had to do was not to find a way to arrest people, but to run away first.

Ye Bi walked west along the official road leading to the Jiangxi Provincial Administration without any haste. He did not expect that he, who was the least concerned, would be the "luckiest" one. After Mu Yixing fled westward after escaping Quanzhou Prefecture.

After all, in the event of a sudden change, anyone's first reaction is to escape to a safer place, just like those "smart people" who jumped repeatedly on Chixian and Europa.

For Mu Yixing, the safest place is naturally the Jiangxi governor who is the Jitian Nest in Tianyanmen.

Although he later discovered that the Jinyiwei and the people from the East Factory had no intention of continuing to pursue, Mu Yixing also stopped and continued to escape, instead began to gather his subordinates, accumulate strength, inquire about the situation, and wait for the opportunity.

Especially after Zhao Da and Wang Qing escaped and reported that the treasures accumulated for many years were occupied by the Jinyiwei, Mu Yixing could only report the situation to Huang Long, hoping that Huang Long could send more capable people to help him regain this batch of treasures as soon as possible. These batches of treasures that were originally to be handed over to Huang Long. For the sake of the group of treasures that originally belonged to him, while fighting for the dangers detected by Jinyiwei, Dongchang or Liushumen, he began to send his subordinates to Quanzhou Prefecture as much as possible to inquire about the situation.

Among them, the Six Gates were not noticed before, but suddenly appeared at this time, and three four famous detectives were sent to the yamen. Mu Yixing even asked his spies to focus on inquiries.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Compared with the Dongchang and Jinyiwei who had already inquired about a lot of information, the six doors that still knew nothing obviously pose a greater threat to Mu Yixing.

As for Peng Zhenlei, Ye Bi and Tie brothers and sisters, Mu Yixing, directly asked the painter to draw a picture based on the descriptions of Zhao Da and Wang Qing, and distributed it to each of his subordinates who went to Quanzhou Prefecture to inquire about information, and ordered them to focus on investigating the situation of the four people.

Ye Bi, who didn't know that this floor was still rushing on the road leisurely and headed towards Mu Yixing's escape, was naturally soon discovered by Mu Yixing's spies.

At first, the spies were nervous because they found that Ye Bi was heading for the same direction as their retreat, but they immediately relaxed.

The reason is also very simple.

If Liushemen had really discovered the direction of their retreat, or even the new stronghold after their retreat, how could he send only Ye Bi? I am afraid that not only Liushemen, but even the hawks and dogs of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei would flock to the crows who smelled carrion.

Moreover, Ye Bi's speed of traveling seemed to be out for fun proves that they were worried about nothing.

After confirming that the six doors did not find their roots, they just sent people out like casting a net to find out their news, many spies felt an impulse.

While Ye Bi was alone and unprepared, he concentrated his efforts to do it first.

However, this idea has also been opposed by many people.

The reason for their opposition was also very simple. Mu Yixing just ordered them to inquire about information and did not ask them to do anything else.

If they accidentally fail to get Ye Bi out of his way and let him escape, not only will they be exposed, but they may also be exposed Mu Yixing's position.

After all, no one can guarantee that if he is captured alive, he will be able to withstand the torture of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei.

The two sides were evenly matched and could not argue, and no one could convince anyone.

Although those spies who felt they should not give up such a good opportunity wanted to bypass the opposing spies and acted on their own, they were unfortunately noticed by the other party.

So under the warning of the other party, they had to give up.

Then, according to the safest method, while distributing personnel to continue monitoring Ye Bi's every move, he sent someone to return to the stronghold and report to Mu Yixing and let Mu Yixing make a decision.

Mu Yixing, who soon received the news, was still a little unbelievable at first, but after repeatedly confirming that there was only Ye Bi, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Over the past few days, except for playing Jinyiwei once at the beginning, they have been talking about words. Although their subordinates don’t say anything, and they still seem to be loyal, Mu Yixing knew in his heart that these subordinates must have negative emotions such as dissatisfaction and fear, and their morale was not high.

If Ye Bi can be successfully ambushed, killed or even captured Ye Bi alive, it will undoubtedly be a great boost to morale and confidence.

However, just when he decided to send a few more deli subordinates to ambush Ye Bi, he heard the person who came to report it and said that Ye Bi appeared alone.

In an instant, another bolder thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

...

"call!"

Looking at Quanzhou Prefecture City that was already close in front of him, Fang Xun and his junior brother Zhang Sijin vomited a breath of turbid air at the same time.

Since receiving Hou Qing's order, they went south all the way and finally arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture City!

In fact, they should have arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture a few days ago. What slowed down were the officials along the way who saw them with many people and long swords hanging on their waists.

Almost every time they go to a densely populated place and strong government power, they will be investigated by those officials. Even if Fang Xun takes out the token given by Hou Qing, they cannot immediately reassure these officials. Many times, they need to be taken to the yamen to investigate before they will be released.

This undoubtedly slowed down their pace.

Fortunately, after suffering several losses, they also gained experience. After getting on the road, they would choose to avoid densely populated places and sleep in the open air. They only went to the city to find the yamen when they passed by the big city to replenish dry food with the token given by Hou Qing.

Only then did they finally arrive at Quanzhou Prefecture today, otherwise they would have to spend more than ten days on the road.

In the Quanzhou Prefecture City, Fang Xun immediately began to search for the traces of Peng Zhenlei and others as Hou Qing said.

However, after many inquiries, he only found out that Peng Zhenlei and the other two seemed to have left Quanzhou Prefecture a few days ago with unknown whereabouts.

Fortunately, the constables from Quanzhou Prefecture still pointed out a clear way for Fang Xun for the sake of Hou Qing's token.
