C238 238 Night Tracking

"Men, get the crown prince over here."

"Yes, Your Highness."

On the other side, the story of the ghost in the inn, which had been passed on for months, had not happened since the Turkic was killed.

It was night, and Liu Ruo Qing lied in the tavern without any sleep. In her mind, there was only the lonely expression that Yan Yuan had during the day, and her heart was a little annoyed. Even the matter of him finding her master Liu Qian Xun seemed to not be that important anymore.

"Seeing how depressed he is, it seems like he has a good relationship with his fourth brother. If he were to punish his nephew, it would truly be hard to explain this to Lord Jing."

She laid on the bed, tossing and turning, "But, if we do not deal with Yan Qi, there is no way he can explain himself to the commoners. The Chen family spent so much effort to look for Yan Yuan, they couldn't possibly just do nothing, right?"

"Ai, his appearance is truly pitiful …"

"…"

Liu Ruo Qing lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep, so she got up.

He opened the door and left the room. Standing in the hallway, he was able to see the entire backyard.

After standing in the corridor for a while, a figure suddenly appeared from the back yard. After looking around, it quietly walked towards the back door of the inn.

His sneaky look made it seem like he was afraid of being discovered.

"Waiter?"

Liu Ruo Qing saw the sneaky face clearly, and thought back to the daytime, the waiter's twinkling eyes, and she suddenly thought of something.

Immediately, she followed along the fence and jumped down, quickly following the waiter and leaving the inn's backyard.

The waiter was not a martial practitioner after all, so he did not notice Liu Ruo Qing following him in the slightest.

He just kept walking anxiously, taking turns and turns and walking a long way.

Liu Ruo Qing followed the waiter and suddenly, she noticed that someone was following behind her.

This person's Qing Gong was extremely outstanding. Otherwise, with her keen senses, she wouldn't have noticed it at this point.

She stopped and turned her head abruptly. Her mouth was covered as she walked towards an alley to the side.

Just as she was about to struggle, a gentle male voice was heard. It carried a trace of numbing heat that circulated in her ears.

"Don't make a sound."

The depths of Liu Ruo Qing's eyes widened, and as she lifted her eyes, she bumped into a pair of pitch black, deep pupils.

"Yan Yuan!"

She couldn't hide the joy in her eyes and lowered her voice. "Why are you here?"

"Follow the waiter."

"You were following him?"

"Yes."

He nodded, not explaining anything.

During the day, he had already felt that the waiter was suspicious. After leaving the inn and returning to the inn, he planned to wait until it was night before secretly investigating him.

He happened to see the waiter sneaking out of the inn.

Moreover, he didn't expect that this girl would follow closely behind him.

Originally, he didn't plan on disturbing her, but he didn't expect that this girl was so sharp that even he could be discovered by her.

"Hurry up and follow."

The two of them had no time to talk much. After exiting the alleyway, they continued to follow.

Although the waiter walked quickly, his speed was much slower than theirs. Not long after they caught up, they caught up with him again.

After following them for some distance, he saw that the waiter had stopped at an open area by the lakeside to the west of the city.

He carefully looked around to make sure no one was following him before speeding up his pace and walking towards a dilapidated little house.

There were a lot of broken houses with no one living in them. Even at night, there were no lights on. Normally, no one would come here.

Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing looked at each other and quietly followed.

Just as he walked out of the house, he heard a woman's voice from inside, "Second Brother, I've troubled you in the past few days."

"Eldest Young Mistress is too courteous. If it wasn't for Chen Gongzi saving me from the tyrant, I wouldn't have been able to live to this day."

The waiter's voice was filled with gratitude.

"Eldest Young Mistress?"

Liu Ruo Qing turned her head and looked at Yan Yuan, who was frowning without saying a word, and said softly: Could she be the young mistress of the Chen Family that the waiter mentioned a few days ago?

Yan Yuan nodded, "It should be her. Let's continue listening."

Under the moonlight, Yan Yuan's eyes looked exceptionally clear and profound.

The two of them stood in front and behind each other. The heat from Yan Yuan's words naturally brushed across Liu Ruo Qing's face, causing her cheeks to feel slightly hot, and even spread to her ears.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she withdrew her gaze from Yan Yuan's face and continued to look around the broken house.

With the help of the moonlight, the two of them were able to clearly see the situation inside. The woman in white had long hair that fell behind her back.

He was truly a great beauty, no wonder Yan Qi was tempted.

"Second brother, have you found the murderer?"

"Not yet."

"Other than flattering him, that unconscious official doesn't know how to do anything else. I was hoping that he would investigate the case, but now, everyone in the town is talking about the murder of the wrongdoer. The county magistrate would like to push this matter onto the hands of the devil."

The female lead frowned, a trace of sadness on her face, "I originally wanted to use this matter of ghosts to attract the attention of outsiders to our Chen family's grievances, but who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing. "I wonder when the grievances of our Chen Clan will be resolved."

She was sobbing miserably, looking very pitiful.

That pair of eyes that were holding back their tears looked at a person lying in a corner of the broken house. The grief on his face grew even more intense.

"Everyone in the Chen family died in that disaster. My husband finally managed to recover half of his life, but now, he doesn't even dare to find a doctor. I don't know how long he'll be able to last."

Following her line of sight, Yan Yuan and Yue Shan also saw the person who was lying motionlessly at the side of the wall.

That face, was the iron evidence left behind by the fire, and every part of it was shocking.

As the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but frown. The anger in their hearts burned even hotter.

Looking at it, the waiter felt uncomfortable, but he comforted her in a low voice: "Young Mistress, a majority of the people in this town have received Master Chen's grace, why not let me call a doctor over to let Chen Gongzi see, the doctor will not tell anyone, right now, Chen Gongzi can only rely on some herbs to treat his wounds, I'm afraid …"

"Second brother, it's not that I don't trust the doctors in the town, but, I'm afraid that people will find out. That bastard Yan Qi even did something like killing people to keep his mouth shut, if he finds out that we are still alive, how could he let us go?"

Speaking of this, the woman's sad eyes were filled with hatred.

The waiter didn't try to persuade him otherwise. It was indeed risky to call the doctor over.
