Fire Captain

Bai Ziyang saw that it was almost time. If it was any later, Yu Wenyue would probably come. He was about to knock on the door when Chu Qiao opened the door and walked out. Seeing that she looked fine, Bai Ziyang said, "I'll take you there."

Chu Qiao nodded and walked out with Bai Ziyang.

The two looked at each other in silence. Bai Ziyang wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but seeing that Chu Qiao looked listless, he didn't want to disturb her. He consoled himself by thinking that this affectionate (?) atmosphere was pretty good...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly passed by two people, a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen clearly. She was followed by a man who was very handsome. If you only look at their appearance, there would be nothing wrong with them. But the key point is that Bai Ziyang could tell from their body shapes and steps that they must be martial artists. Moreover, the man's eyes stayed on Chu Qiao's face for a long time, but his eyes were not full of obsession with beauty, but deep thought, reminiscence, doubt and confusion. This is a problem...

Bai Ziyang quickly whispered in Chu Qiao's ear: "There's something wrong with these two people, hurry up, get on the horse!"

Chu Qiao's horse was still tied at the street corner, so Bai Ziyang led his horse out when she went out. Chu Qiao knew that this was not the place to talk, so she immediately jumped on the horse. Bai Ziyang sat behind Chu Qiao, held the reins tightly, kicked the horse's belly lightly and started to trot.

Bai Ziyang's premonition was correct. Just as the two of them crossed a street, they suddenly heard the sound of clothes tearing through the air from behind them. Turning around, they saw that it was the man they had just seen, jumping down from the rooftop next to them and attacking Chu Qiao.

Bai Ziyang hurriedly whispered in Chu Qiao's ear: "Go find Yu Wen Yue, I will stop him." As he said that, he pushed hard on the saddle, flew up to meet the man, and immediately the two of them started fighting in mid-air.

Chu Qiao only had time to turn around and glance at Bai Ziyang.

When the attacker saw that the target had gone far away and he was blocked by Bai Ziyang, he was so anxious that a hidden weapon flew out of his hand. Bai Ziyang dodged it but did not expect that the hidden weapon hit Chu Qiao's horse's tail. The horse was stimulated and ran away at full speed.

“Oh my god!” Bai Ziyang only had time to curse, but he saw a man suddenly flash out from the side and ride his horse to chase after Chu Qiao’s horse. It wasn’t Yu Wen Yue but Yan Xun?

Bai Ziyang was angry and slapped the man away with his palm. He turned around and shouted, "Fei Liu!"

Xiao Feiliu used his light Kung Fu to chase after Chu Qiao by climbing over eaves and walls.

Chu Qiao’s horsemanship was average. She could only ride without falling off the horse, but she couldn’t do anything else. For example, the horse was running wildly due to the excitement, and she couldn’t control it.

When Yan Xun caught up with her and was about to save her, an arrow suddenly shot out from the dark. Chu Qiao rushed towards Yan Xun and they both fell to the ground. Seeing the assassins who were ambushing in the dark slowly approaching, they hurriedly pulled each other to escape. Chu Qiao said as she ran, "Who did you offend? You made me get chased too?"

I heard the assassin behind me say, "Catch that woman!"

Yan Xun was still in the mood to tease: "That's not right, I think those people are coming for you! But I can protect you!"

Chu Qiao said: "Then I have to thank you... but there is no need... stop talking nonsense and run!"

In a panic, he stepped on a trap set by a hunter and fell into a cave. He was able to escape from the pursuers temporarily, but the trap was deep and slippery, with no place to step on, so it was difficult to get out.

Yan Xun asked: "How is it? Are you okay?"

Chu Qiao said: "It's okay...seeing you is never good!"

Yan Xun said: "How can you be so ungrateful? I just saved you!"

Chu Qiao said, "Who are you calling a dog?... Forget it, the miasma under our feet seems to be poisonous. We can't stay here all night."

Yan Xun said, "How about this, this side is not high, you step on me to get up first, and then find someone to rescue me."

As he was talking, a vine suddenly dropped from the trap. Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao in surprise and said, "Could it be that the killer rescued us first and then killed us?"

Chu Qiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you stupid?" She stretched the vine and saw that it was still strong, so she grabbed it and climbed up.

Yan Xun was still shouting from below: "Don't you find it strange?"

Actually, it was late at night, and there was no one outside the trap. Suddenly a vine hung down... It seemed quite weird...

Chu Qiao ignored him and climbed out first. Standing outside the trap, she shouted to the people below: "You can come up if you want. If you don't want to come up, just stay down there..."

Yan Xun pulled the rope from below and said, "Hey, am I afraid of you?"

Chu Qiao had no time to pay attention to Yan Xun. She glanced around the trap. She knew that this vine would not fall into the trap for no reason. It must be that person... Just then, a small stone hit her on the head. Chu Qiao covered her head and looked over. Sure enough, she saw a person sitting in the hidden place of the tree branch.

"Fei Liu? Where is your brother Sun?" Chu Qiao had heard Fei Liu call Bai Ziyang "Brother Sun" several times. Maybe the two words Ziyang are not as convenient as Sun.

Fei Liu looked at Chu Qiao seriously and said, "He said, you are too stupid! He asked you... to practice riding well!" After saying that, he saw Yan Xun crawling out of the trap and immediately turned invisible and flew away.

Chu Qiao was left alone, her eyebrows raised, her face puzzled.

Yan Xun looked in Chu Qiao's direction and asked, "Who are you talking to?"

Chu Qiao turned around and said, "Where is the person? You must have been poisoned by the miasma down there!"

Chu Qiao looked at the sky and said hurriedly: "It's so late, the master will scold me when I go back!"

Yan Xun patted his chest and said, "I will go and explain to Yu Wenyue when the time comes. If he dares to bully you, just come with me..."

The answer he got was Chu Qiao’s “heartless” back as she left.

When Chu Qiao returned to Qingshan Courtyard, Yu Wen Yue had already turned off the lights and seemed to be resting. The next day, Chu Qiao saw Yu Wen Yue and explained, "There were too many people on the street yesterday, and Xing Er was squeezed out of the crowd. When she came back, she ran into Prince Yan Xun being chased by someone, which delayed her!"

Yu Wen Yue didn't say anything else but just looked at Chu Qiao. He had used the Spy Paper Sky Eye to investigate Chu Qiao's background before. Although there was no problem after searching, based on his intuition as a spy for many years, he still felt that this Xing'er must have an extraordinary identity. Unfortunately, there was no evidence.

After Chu Qiao dealt with Yu Wen Yue, Yu Wen Huai sent people to arrest her within two days. Standing in the same prison, Chu Qiao was speechless and hated in her heart: I must find out the truth about Spy Paper Sky Eye as soon as possible, sooner or later I will not be able to play with these two brothers anymore.

After much trouble, he managed to fool Yuwen Huai and successfully left the cell. When he returned to Qingshan Courtyard, he was almost blinded by Yuwen Yue again. At night, Bai Ziyang saw Chu Qiao with her eyes covered with white gauze and asked immediately, "What happened to your eyes?"

Chu Qiao touched the white veil in front of her eyes and said, "I don't know either. Yu Wen Yue dropped something on me and I can't see anymore."

Bai Ziyang slammed the table, stood up and said angrily: "I'm going to kill him."

"Hey, don't go!" Chu Qiao grabbed him and said, "I think the blindness should be temporary. If he wants to kill me, it's easy. He won't go to such great lengths just to blind my eyes."

Bai Ziyang calmed down and felt that Chu Qiao was right. He came up to Chu Qiao and said, "What you said makes sense. Don't be afraid. I'll show you!"

Bai Ziyang untied the white veil in front of Chu Qiao's eyes and carefully examined her eyes. Chu Qiao was blind at this time, so her sense of smell and touch were particularly sensitive. It was the first time that Bai Ziyang was so close to her. As soon as he got close to Chu Qiao, she smelled a pleasant fragrance, like the fragrance of grass, and like the smell of being exposed to the sun, very fresh and making people feel particularly happy. Then, when she felt the touch of Bai Ziyang's fingertips, Chu Qiao's cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.

Bai Ziyang was completely unaware of Chu Qiao's slight change. He just focused on looking at Chu Qiao's eyes. After checking, he said with confidence, "This should be Yu Wen Yue's secret medicine. It can make your eyes clearer and see the night as bright as the day..."

Chu Qiao's brain paused for a moment and then started up again, though it was a little slow to react. She said, "That's good..."

Bai Ziyang said angrily: "What's so good about that? You will naturally achieve this effect when your internal energy recovers. This is really unnecessary."

Instead, the blind man had to comfort him, "Alright, alright, alright, forget it!"

It was just as Bai Ziyang said. Chu Qiao regained her sight in less than two days. After she regained her sight, she received an order that the Third House would hold a banquet at Hongshan Courtyard in two days. When she arrived, she should remember everything and everyone in the venue and not let all the training these days go to waste.

Chu Qiao followed Yu Wen Yue to the venue and stood at the door. A dancer walked past her when she left the stage. The fragrance on her body made Chu Qiao feel very familiar. She immediately thought of the person who passed by her when she was with Bai Ziyang at the Chang'an Lantern Festival a few days ago. Chu Qiao immediately became alert and followed the dancer after receiving Yu Wen Yue's eye signal.

She followed her all the way until she reached a room. When she was hesitating whether to go in, she heard the window inside the room move. Chu Qiao immediately broke into the room and saw a figure in black climbing out the window. She immediately followed him. The man in black seemed to have a clear goal. He held a map in his hand and followed the instructions, heading straight to the rockery secret room behind Yu Wenyue's study in Qingshan Courtyard.

Chu Qiao had a hunch that she might be the one who would gain the most today. As expected, she followed the man in black all the way to a secret passage she had never seen before. Unfortunately, she was spotted by the man in black halfway through, and the two of them started fighting. It seemed that the man in black just wanted to get rid of Chu Qiao's tracking, but unfortunately, the two of them kept chasing each other, and even when they reached the depths of the secret room, the man in black still failed to get rid of Chu Qiao as he wished, until Yu Wen Yue arrived, and the man in black had no choice but to flee.

Chu Qiao secretly felt sorry for the fleeing man in black. It seemed that the man had a map of the secret room. If he could get it, would Bai Ziyang be able to come and go as he pleased? ... When she came to her senses, she found that Yu Wenyue was looking at her in an unusual way.

Chu Qiao asked tentatively: "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Wen Yue's expression remained unchanged as he looked at Chu Qiao and said, "I'm wondering whether I should kill you!"

Chu Qiao was slightly startled. Was her identity exposed? But she remained calm and pretended to be puzzled as she asked, "Sir, what...what did you say?"

Yu Wenyue said: "This is the core of the Spy Paper Sky Eye. If outsiders break in, they will be killed without mercy to prevent the secrets from being leaked."

The fireworks in Chu Qiao's heart were blooming, and she said with an innocent look on her face: "Master, it was you who asked me to follow Fang Qin. I was just helping you complete the task, why did you want to kill me?"

Yu Wenyue said: "Only spies from Qingshan Court are qualified to come here. You have two choices: either become a spy or commit suicide on the spot."

Chu Qiao smiled without any fear and said, "Sir, do I have a choice? I want to be a spy."

After Chu Qiao returned to her room, she just relaxed and lay down on the bed when a head suddenly popped out from under the quilt next to her. Chu Qiao was so shocked that she almost slapped the head.

Bai Ziyang came out and said, "Why did you come back just now? I almost fell asleep waiting for you."

Chu Qiao had never seen such a person who was good at "complaining first". She rolled her eyes, walked to the table and sat down and said, "Today I entered the secret room of Spy Paper Sky Eye! I guess I have joined Spy Paper Sky Eye."

Bai Ziyang threw off the quilt and jumped off the bed and asked hurriedly: "How did you get in? Is it dangerous?"

Chu Qiao said, "It's not dangerous. Someone broke in today and I followed that person in... How about I take you there and give it a try?"

Bai Ziyang said, "Not yet. Today, an outsider broke into the spy building, so their secret room mechanisms will be redeployed to prevent the secrets from being leaked. Let's wait a little longer."
