After reading the secret letter spit out by the big moth, Qin Shaoyou asked with some doubts: "Commander Qi arrived at Qingtangwei, but he was not in a hurry to join us, but ran to check other things... You said, what is he going to investigate?"

"I don't have the ability to predict, how would I know this?"

Qin Qiaoer shook her head.

"I only know that my master is not a person who can't distinguish priorities. Since he went to Qingtangwei and went to investigate other matters, it means that the matter is as he said, and it is very important. In addition, Dongchuan Hou Now that I have led the troops to the expedition again, it is indeed possible to slow down and join us again. After all, it is impossible to rush to the military camp to arrest people, right? It would be strange if it did not cause a mutiny.

Seeing that Sixth Sister had some misunderstandings, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean, will the matter that Commander Qi went to investigate has something to do with the bloodshed that Brother Cui predicted?"

Qin Qiao'er frowned and pondered: "This is really not necessarily true..."

Qin Shaoyou suggested: "Would you like to send a letter to ask? If Commander Qi finds something we don't know, after asking, we can make some arrangements in advance."

Qin Qiaoer thought for a while, then nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go to the letter and ask."

She immediately wrote a letter in secret language, sealed it with wax pills, let the big moth swallow it, and released it to find Qi Longfei.

In the past few days, the big moth has been flying back and forth to pass news, and he has not rested much. But it works for Qin Qiaoer, but it doesn't complain at all, which is completely different from the attitude when helping Qin Shaoyou to pass the news.

Sure enough, the treatment of this pro-master is different.

The news from Qi Longfei's side hadn't been delivered yet, but something happened to Qingtang Weicheng.

That night, in the middle of the night, Qin Shaoyou opened his mouth wide in the house, directed at the blood moon in the night sky, and when he performed the breathing technique to swallow the moon, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in the courtyard.

It is the night wandering **** who is responsible for monitoring and patrolling at night.

Seeing Qin Shaoyou, like a big toad, licking the moon in the yard, Yeyoushen was obviously stunned for a moment.

In the past few days, he has not listened less to the messenger in red and the ghosts under his hands, saying that Qin Shaoyou will turn into a toad every night, and wants to lick the dog on the moon that day.

Originally, Yeyoushen didn't quite believe it, but today I finally let him see it.

Sure enough, it is exactly the same as the toad who wants to eat swan meat...

Yeyoushen came back with urgent information to report, so he didn't waste time watching Qin Shaoyou as a dog... No, he was licking a toad, after being stunned for a moment, he immediately adjusted his state, and walked over to Qin Shaoyou, cupped his hands and said, "Sir , Marquis Dongchuan came back with someone."

Qin Shaoyou found Yeyoushen when he appeared in the courtyard.

Knowing that Yeyoushen was back, there must be an important discovery or a sudden situation, Qin Shaoyou stopped swallowing the moon immediately.

Even so, after hearing the news reported by Yeyoushen, he still raised his brows, feeling that something was wrong.

Didn't the Marquis of Dongchuan lead the army to the expedition? Why did it suddenly turn back?

If he wins the battle, he will not enter the city in the middle of the night, he will definitely enter the city in the daytime, and even if the officials and people in the city are not allowed to go out of the city to welcome him, he will definitely have to make a big splash, and everyone knows what he does. He fought a victory so that he could boast of his achievements and achievements to the court.

Like now, he suddenly entered the city in the middle of the night, or he was defeated and fled back in embarrassment. Or, is there something wrong in the city, so he would rather give up the war and rush back to deal with it?

Qin Shaoyou felt that the former was more likely.

As for the latter... He really couldn't think of any major event in the city that would make the Marquis of Dongchuan rush back regardless of the war.

Even if the Duke of Dongchuan really died, although the Duke of Dongchuan would be sad and cry, he would not rush back in such a hurry.

Is it really a defeat?

Qin Shaoyou was startled, and hurriedly asked: "How many people did the Duke of Dongchuan bring back? How are those people? What's the follow-up reaction after returning to the city?"

Yeyoushen replied: "Not many people brought back by the Duke of Dongchuan, only a few hundred, all of them were the cavalry he brought back before. I was afraid of being noticed by him, so I didn't dare to get too close, I just observed from a distance, but I still saw that these people looked very embarrassed. Many people had bloodstains and injuries on their bodies, and some people didn't even have helmets at all, and their hair was disheveled... After they entered the city, they immediately ordered the city gates to be closed, and at the same time Let the soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city gate and city wall all go to the front of the city, posing as if they are ready to stand in front of the enemy..."

At this time, Qin Qiaoer noticed the movement in the yard, and pushed the door out, just after hearing Yeyoushen's report, her expression suddenly changed, and she thought of going with Qin Shaoyou.

"Marquis Dongchuan lost? And he lost miserably?"

Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a while~lightnovelpub.net~ and instructed Yeyoushen: "Immediately take the ghosts under your command and try to sneak out of the city to see if there are any Qingtang barbarians following and attacking!"

"Yes." Yeyoushen led the way.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer woke up all the red-clothed messengers who were resting on shifts, and at the same time asked Bai Qingjiang Shuibo to send orders to wake up all the aquariums lurking in the wells and rivers in the city, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

After making these arrangements, Qin Shaoyou glanced at Cui Youkui, and said with a helpless smile: "Senior Brother Cui, your divination is really accurate. Qingtang Weicheng, something has really changed! I just don't know, you The blood that is mentioned in the divination is whose blood is being shed... Is it the Marquis of Dongchuan and the others? Or... ordinary people in this city?"

Cui Youkui had followed Qin Shaoyou for a long time, and instantly understood what he meant, his face sank: "Do you suspect that the Marquis of Dongchuan will kill Liang and take advantage?"

Qin Shaoyou sighed: "I hope he is not as bad as I thought... Sixth sister, send a secret letter to Commander Qi, tell him the situation here, and ask him to come over quickly to prevent the situation in this city from becoming the worst. possible development.”

Qin Qiaoer nodded and immediately went to send a secret letter.

Cui Youkui was asking Qin Shaoyou: "If the Duke of Dongchuan really wants to kill Liang and take credit, and Commander Qi didn't arrive in time, what should we do?"

Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, looked up at the dark night sky, and said slowly: "We are red-clothed messengers, but also night watchmen. Since we are night watchmen, we must guard the darkness and prevent them from swallowing ordinary people, even for the sake of This is also true! I am a person who is very afraid of death, but there are some things, even if I am afraid of death, I have to do it, otherwise I will be ashamed of the title of the night watchman and the belief in my heart. Even if you manage to survive, you will not feel at ease.”
