Ye Qingran didn't expect that he would ask about this matter when he opened his mouth. He was a little surprised, but his expression did not change and he said with a smile: "They went hunting in the nearby mountains in a group and will have to come back later."

"That's it... I have an unkind request. I see the beautiful mountains and clear waters here and the beautiful scenery. I want to stay here for a few more days. I'm a little bothered. I don't know if you two can agree. I will pay for it."

"It's okay, we don't need a few more pairs of chopsticks here. Since the young master likes us, we just want to stay a little longer. When they come back from hunting, we can let the young master taste this game!"

Ye Qingran smiled honestly and looked like a hospitable peasant woman. Liu Xiang stared at her for a long time but couldn't find any flaws.

"Okay, since Mrs. Xiaoran said so, I'd rather be respectful than obey. Thank you very much."

"You don't have to be so polite. I've just finished the work I'm doing. Why don't I show you around here?"

"Okay."

After saying that, Ye Qingran took him around the village, and from time to time he made up some interesting stories about farming in the past.

Liu Xiang originally wanted to test her, but seeing her like this, he really couldn't see any flaws, so he had to give up.

"Is this person also a local here?"

He suddenly pointed at the person in front of him and asked, "Why does he look familiar to me?"

Ye Qingran was still thinking about how to deal with this Liu Xiang. When he heard what he said, he was immediately shocked. He looked up and saw that the person he was talking about was Ye Zhuoyu.

She didn't expect Ye Zhuoyu to come out at this time, and Liu Xiang happened to see him.

"Yes, he is from our village. He is just an orphan. He was abandoned when he was a child. He grew up in our village, so he can be considered a local."

Ye Qingran started making up random things without thinking much.

Soon, Ye Zhuoyu noticed this and was a little panicked, but he quickly restrained himself and left quickly.

At this time, I was seen and I didn't dare to go back to the darkroom. It would be troublesome if I was questioned, so I had to go all the way to the field and pretend to go to farm.

Liu Xiang stared at him for a long time, until he couldn't even see his back before giving up.

Ye Qingran knew that he was suspicious in his heart, his mind was working rapidly, and he said deliberately: "Mr. Liu, let's go."

"I want to talk to the brother just now."

Liu Xiang said, and was about to chase Ye Zhuoyu, but was stopped by Ye Qingran.

He narrowed his eyes at her: "Is there any problem?"

Ye Qingran took advantage of the situation and looked nervous: "Ah... no, it's nothing... but you better not go, sir. We are just ordinary people farming, and we have nothing to talk about."

Since Liu Xiang has become suspicious, there is no way to easily dispel his suspicions. It is better to follow his suspicions and deepen his suspicions. After he checked himself and found nothing, he gave up.

As expected, when Liu Xiang saw her attitude, he chuckled: "Since Mrs. Xiaoran said so, I can't insist on it. I'm a little tired after being out for so long, so I went back first and said goodbye."

"Master Liu, walk slowly."

Ye Qingran watched him walk away. After he was completely out of sight, she quickly took a detour to Liu Xiang's residence.

Although Liu Xiang had doubts, he was not too wary of Ye Qingran, a peasant woman from the countryside. He hurried back to the room, called the guards and said, "Go and check the appearance of the other members of the Ye family. I always felt that the person just now looked familiar, and seeing that Xiao Ran looked nervous, there must be something wrong."

"Yes, son."

After the guard agreed, he went out and headed straight outside the village.

Ye Qingran listened to their words secretly and followed them out.

She hid in the corner, and saw the guard blowing a whistle, and several people flew out of the darkness. After discussing in a low voice, they left together.

"Hmph, let's see how fast you can be."

She snorted coldly and returned to the farmland.

Ye Qingran was not in a hurry about Liu Xiang's investigation. Instead, he wanted to test their strength and see if he could follow the clues and find their other personnel.

Ye Zhuoyu was still farming with others in the farmland at this time. He didn't dare to act rashly when he saw her coming. He didn't look at her until he confirmed that there was no one else around her.

"They're not here, don't worry." Ye Qingran said.

Ye Zhuoyu nodded and walked over, feeling helpless: "Sorry, it's just that mother wanted some needles and threads. I heard there was no movement outside, so I thought I would go out and get the needles and threads and go back immediately. I didn't expect that he happened to see me."

"It's okay. He came here just after getting the news. He won't give up until he finds out something. It's better to sell him a clue and then cut it off so that he can retreat."

Ye Qingran pondered for a while, "I think he brought quite a few people this time. They just hid near the village and didn't bring them in. If we really start a fight, we still can't tell who will win and who will lose." .”

"If that's the case, what should we do now?"

"Prime Minister Liu has already sent his men to find out the news about you. What we have to do is to intercept and kill all those people tonight and make them never return. In this way, Prime Minister Liu will not get the information and will not know about you. identity of."

Ye Zhuoyu nodded: "Okay, then I will do this. I will treat it as making up for it."

At night, Ye Zhuoyu, dressed in night clothes, flew out of the village and headed straight to the west in the direction where Liu Xiang's men had left.

In the past few days, Liu Xiang had hardly left the room, and Ye Qingran didn't bother to care about him. Without thinking too much, he knew that he was waiting for his men to come back to him with news, but unfortunately, he couldn't wait any longer. .

But this man was also very cautious. When he didn't get the news, he wouldn't reveal anything, and she couldn't even find the slightest fault in him.

If she hadn't known in advance that this person was sent from the capital, she might have been deceived.

In the room, Liu Xiang was pacing back and forth, feeling restless in his heart.

"These losers, let's check the news. How come they haven't come back after being away for so long?"

He clenched his fists and said, "Forget it, it seems I can't count on it, so I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he picked up the pen and paper at hand, wrote a long paragraph on it, then folded it, rolled it up, put it into a small bamboo tube, and then blew the pigeon whistle.

Soon, a gray dove flew from the sky, circled twice and landed on his arm.

He gently stroked the pigeon twice, tied the bamboo tube to its paw with a red rope, and then whispered: "Go, fly faster."

The pigeon flapped its wings and quickly disappeared from his sight.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as the pigeon flew out of the stockade, it was stabbed to death by a dart, fell straight from the air, and finally fell into the hands of Ying Yi who flew over.
