The Ling family has been passed down for many years, not only in the world, but also in the imperial court.
After all, when the war started, the Ling family sent many people to join the army to guard the mountains and rivers.
Song Minzhi's expression was a little out of control, and after hearing Qi Yuan's words, he subconsciously wanted him to stop investigating.
After all, she knows the truth of the matter best. If the investigation continues, both father and Ziyi will be exposed soon.
Now that Ziyi's power is weak, he is no match for the Ling family.
But Song Minzhi really didn't know how to speak. No woman would forgive the "thief" when it came to this kind of thing.
If she asked Ling Xiao not to investigate, wouldn't it arouse even more suspicion?
Song Minzhi finally understood the difficulty of lying and then covering up the lie.
"I...I don't want you to be so tired. Now you don't even want to see me, and I don't have the shame to live anymore..."
Qi Yuan frowned, this method of changing the topic was really average.
"Madam, just rest assured and cultivate yourself. I just feel that I have not protected you well, so I am too embarrassed to face madam. I will come to see madam after I find the culprit and avenge madam."
Qi Yuan softened his voice.
Song Minzhi was stunned, "You want to go out? What will happen to the Ling family if you leave?"
"Madam, don't worry, my father is in charge at home. I will personally bring back the enemy's head to Madam."
After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he strode away without giving Song Minzhi a chance to speak.
He was originally a martial arts practitioner. He walked in a hurry and disappeared quickly.
This made Song Minzhi, who was still preparing to put on a show to tactfully dispel Qi Yuan's idea of investigating further, completely panicked.
"Go and see if Ling Xiao has set off!"
Song Minzhi pushed the dowry maid next to him, and suddenly regained his energy and looked anxious.
She didn't doubt the Ling family's strength at all, let alone Ling Xiao's martial arts. Being able to rely on martial arts alone without relying on the Ling family, he was called Ling Xiao Sword by people in the world. Ling Xiao's martial arts was top-notch.
It happened so suddenly that she didn't even have the chance to convey the news to her father and Ziyi. It would be up to Ling Xiao to investigate.
Isn’t Ziyi in danger? !
Song Minzhi was afraid that she would react too late and Guo Ziyi's head would be brought to her.
The dowry maid was pushed by Song Minzhi, lowered her head and bit her lip and ran out, chasing Qi Yuan.
But the maid stopped as soon as she left Song Minzhi's sight. How could she, a maid, try to dissuade him.
The dowry maid stayed outside for a while before going back.
When Song Minzhi saw the maid coming back, she immediately grabbed her hand and said, "How are you? Are you leaving?"
"He left. He took many servants with him, and many of the servants in our yard were taken away."
The maid told Song Minzhi what she had planned.
Song Minzhi became even more panicked and paced back and forth in the room.
"No, we still need to let them know the news, otherwise they will become the dead souls under Ling Xiao's sword."
Song Minzhi stamped his feet and turned his attention to the dowry maid.
The dowry maid was panicked, but she had no way to refuse.
Song Minzhi was worried and scared, and was not willing to wait until dark before changing clothes with the maid and leaving the Ling family in the same way as before.
The servant who was watching Song Minzhi in the dark secretly took note of those who acted as internal agents, and then followed Song Minzhi closely.
Song Minzhi sneaked out of Ling's house in fear, then changed several sets of clothes before taking a carriage to the woods on the outskirts.
This method was taught by Guo Ziyi, saying it was to make her act cautiously.
Song Minzhi went to the woods on the outskirts to confirm that no one was following him before blowing the whistle.
After a while, an eagle flew over, and Song Minzhi put the prepared note into the small tube at the eagle's foot.
Watching the eagle fly away, Song Minzhi frowned and hurried back to Ling's house.
The last delay caused such a big trouble, and now that it was such a critical moment, Song Minzhi did not dare to make any mistakes.
After spreading the news, he returned to Ling's house.
But the servant in the dark did not follow Song Minzhi back, but used Qinggong to chase after him with all his strength.
The eagle flew too high, and the servant could not intercept the message, so he had to chase it all the way to look for opportunities.
After passing through the woods, the eagle lowered its height, and it seemed that it was about to arrive.
The servant seized the opportunity and did not dare to waste it. He immediately raised his hand and shot down the eagle.
The eagle was knocked unconscious and fell down. The servant picked up the eagle, put away the note and left quickly.
Qi Yuan, who originally said he was leaving, was having a delicious meal in the side courtyard.
"Master, this is the intercepted news."
The servant handed the note to Qi Yuan. There was a birdcage at his feet, containing the eagle.
Qi Yuan glanced at the eagle in the cage, and then opened the note.
"When the matter is exposed, Ling Xiao leads a thorough investigation. Ziyi is in danger."
Qi Yuan read the words on the note lightly, then chuckled and picked up the chopsticks to continue eating.
"Have you found out who Ziyi is?"
The servant nodded, he would not report until the investigation was completed.
"The leader of a small sect, the Holy Clothes Sect, had contact with the Song family some time ago, but then disappeared after the Song family's daughter got married.
The Holy Cloth Cult also investigated and found many suspicious things. "
The servant raised his head and glanced at Qi Yuan as he spoke. He felt that the master of the house had become mysterious after this incident.
"go on."
Qi Yuan finished his meal and played with his tea cup.
"Yes." The servant responded and continued.
"The Holy Cloth Sect is weak, and most of its members are people who know some Three-legged Cat Kung Fu. There are not many people who are really good at martial arts, and most of their members are young adults.
It doesn't look like a martial arts sect, but more like it's hiding soldiers.
Because further investigation would involve the government, so I came back to ask the head of the family for instructions. "
After the servant finished his report, he waited for Qi Yuan to speak.
This matter is indeed not that simple. Not only the Song family, but also the Holy Clothes Sect have traces of being involved with the government and the court.
This is not a good sign for Wulin outside the imperial court.
Once Wulin gets involved in court matters, those in power will not be able to tolerate them.
The Ling family had intervened in the border wars of the imperial court a few years ago. Although the imperial court commended them, none of the servants who had gone to the border had returned yet.
Now that the court is involved again, could this matter be because the court wants to suppress the martial arts?
Qi Yuan put down the teacup in his hand.
"You continue to investigate, I will go to the palace tomorrow."
Qi Yuan's words made the servant's expression become more serious. He nodded and left Yingying to continue his investigation.
Qi Yuan sat in the yard and continued to study the method of stripping the soul.
These people from the Ling family are really efficient in getting things done. It's no wonder that Guo Ziyi wants to take advantage of the Ling family in such a dirty way.
The servants were able to do their jobs well, which saved Qi Yuan a lot of trouble.
Guo Ziyi probably didn't expect that his vest would fall off so quickly. When the time comes, he will attribute the credit to Song Minzhi.
I think it must be a heart-wrenching scene.
