"I won't stop you." Song Yu showed an indifferent attitude.
Qi Rong's eyes became hot again. You don't need to think about it to know that his survival to this day is all due to the planning of the guy in front of him. If he leaves the mansion rashly at this time, the end will not be much better.
Otherwise, Qi Rong would have run away long ago due to the lack of supervision in the mansion for the past two days.
He felt really useless. It took three months to find the person he was looking for with no whereabouts, and his life had to be protected by others. He wanted to take advantage of his age to make the other party feel guilty, but this guy didn't fall for it at all. His little head could no longer think of any more tricks, and he was filled with confusion and panic.
Look at this kid rubbing his eyes all the time. Song Yu secretly sighed, stepped forward and held down Xiao Qi's head with one hand, rubbing it fiercely: "If you don't want to leave, it doesn't matter. I know you still have something to hide from me. I won't force you. You. It depends on when you want to say it."
Qi Rong lifted Song Yu's hand away. His black and clear eyes were still glaring at Song Yu with hostility. However, Song Yu fully accepted his malice, went back to the house and closed the door, neither light nor heavy.
All Qi Rong's energy and energy were released with the sound of the door closing. On such a dewy night, where could he go if he left here? With self-mockery and contempt for himself, he moved back to the wing that Song Yu had arranged for him.
Song Yu and Xie Nanshi arranged Qi Rong's room in the same courtyard for safety and convenience. It only takes a few steps to get there. He had been on tenterhooks all day, and now he finally relaxed. Drowsiness suddenly swept through his brain. However, before he could put out the candle, he found a letter under the lamp.
Qi Rong subconsciously looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he opened the letter carefully. There is no signature on it, only a simple sentence: Young Master, Zi Shi, under the willow tree at the back door.
There is also a mark on the back of the letter, which is his father's exclusive mark.
At this moment, Qi Rong felt that he had finally found help again. He held the paper in his hand and ran out of the room as fast as he could. The courtyard was still quiet, nothing unusual. Only the lights in Xie Nanshi's wing suddenly turned on, apparently attracted by Qi Rong's movement.
Qi Rong's excited mood suddenly cooled down as if someone had poured cold water on it.
There is not much time left for him to make a decision.
Qi Rong bit the tip of his finger. Should he go see the person who sent the letter? What if this is a trap? Perhaps he has ignored one issue from beginning to end, that is, the enemy knows his identity from beginning to end. Is there any need for him to conceal it?
If his father hadn't insisted that he concentrate on studying and practicing at home before being crowned, his identity wouldn't have been concealed for so long. Qi Rong didn't trust anyone in this mansion. He only believed in the Jiange elder who was still missing. But... when Song Yu attracted the people from the Ping An Division, the deadlock had already been broken.
If Song Yu is a good person, concealment will only make their investigation more passive; if he is a bad person... they should know who he is from the beginning!
He looked at Xie Nanshi's lit wing, stood upright and finally resumed his movements, but his walking movements were still a little stiff, just like his uneasy heart.
But no matter how anxious he was, he could only walk a dozen steps. Qi Rong raised his hand, but couldn't knock it down. However, the next moment the door opened by itself.
Xie Nanshi sat quietly on the bed and meditated, opening his eyes only after Qi Rong walked in. He didn't say anything, he just stood up and poured two cups of tea, then motioned for Qi Rong to sit down.
Like a perfect listener.
It has to be said that beside Jie Nanshi, Qi Rong's originally nervous mood relaxed unconsciously. He raised his head and took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and said quickly: "I am not some beggar Xiao Qi, my real name is Qi Rong. , is the son of Qi Baisheng, the leader of Yongxi Prefecture."
"Looks like I guessed it right again!"
Xie Nanshi didn't speak, the voice came from outside the house. Qi Rong was startled, and turned around to see Song Yu sticking his head out of the window, looking at him with a smile.
Although he was prepared to tell Song Yu from the beginning, the way this person appeared still made him feel resentful that he was being watched.
"No wonder you guys like to climb through windows. It's really interesting." Song Yu didn't care about Qi Rong's alert attitude, but stretched his whole body and jumped in through the window without any dexterity.
"What does it mean you guessed it correctly?" Qi Rong couldn't figure out where he had revealed his identity. He was even too cautious to take a good night's sleep, fearing that he would be killed if he talked in his sleep.
It was late at night, and Song Yu was not interested in tea. He took out a handful of peanuts, chewed them, and sat on a low stool beside him: "Don't you think you are hiding well? It's hard for children living on the streets to grow up. With your size.”
Qi Rong felt like white hairs were sweating on his back.
Song Yu continued to add fuel to Qi Rong's fears: "Let's just say you are gifted. I have noticed that you have been practicing boxing with Yun Lang these days. You seem to be careless, but you are actually deliberately hiding everything you have. study……"
On the side, Xie Nanshi slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "Did you see that?"
Song Yu still calmly took advantage of this skill: "Besides, you still have the spiritual energy you have cultivated in your body. Do you think this can be fooled by some legend about a 'passing master'? No way. , do you think we will believe this statement now? Even if we believe it, how are you going to explain that you saw the deputy governor assassinate the governor? "
Qi Rong pursed her lips tightly, her whole body trembling.
Song Yu didn't dare to really push people to a dead end. In order to ease the atmosphere, he also stuffed the handful of peanuts into Qi Rong's hands: "Although we know the truth, we haven't exposed you. We are just waiting for you. Open your mouth. Now that you are willing to come to us and confess, we are very happy."
Qi Rong held the handful of peanuts with the aroma of oil and salt in his hand, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment. He even wondered if he shouldn't confess, whether the Song Yu in front of him was simply annoying, or if he thought about it, he was horribly hypocritical.
Jie Nanshi's clear voice calmed down the frightened child: "For the people of Yongxi Prefecture, we will do our best."
The words with the same meaning are completely different in persuasiveness when spoken by Song Yu and spoken by Jie Nanshi. After listening to Xie Nanshi's words, Qi Rong immediately stood up without hesitation, and then knelt down and said: "Because I can't find the elder of Jiange, and I can't save my father!"
"It's not the New Year yet, I won't give out lucky money!" Song Yu stepped forward and pulled Qi Rong up, and continued: "So your father is still alive?"
Qi Rong glared at Song Yu and subconsciously amplified his voice: "Of course my father is still alive!"
Song Yu quickly made a booing gesture: "You are really not afraid of being heard."
Qi Rong gritted his teeth in annoyance.
Xie Nanshi was a dull gourd, and Qi Rong blocked his mouth again. Song Yuzuo looked around and looked again, but had no choice but to find his words again: "You came to confess so late at night, do you have anything else to say?" He really wanted to ask where the state leader was now, but he still couldn't. It took a lot of effort to pry open a little bit of this child's shell, but I didn't want him to just shrink back.
Qi Rong hesitated for a moment and handed the letter he had just held to Xie Nanshi.
Xie Nanshi flattened the crumpled paper. Song Yu put his head on Jie Nanshi's shoulder and read the words clearly: "Do you suspect that someone from the deputy governor wrote it to you?"
Qi Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The mark above was created by my father. Logically speaking, only his close associates can know it."
"Is that your father's person?" Song Yu returned the letter to Qi Rong and saw that he still had doubts on his face: "Do you suspect there is fraud? Then go and try it and you will know?"
Qi Rong couldn't believe this: "You still want me to be bait?"
"Last time you were dissatisfied because I didn't tell you. Now I'm telling you, you can make your own choice." Song Yu spread his hands.
Qi Rong looked helplessly at the other normal person in the room. But he saw that Nan Shi was sorting out the talismans, and then handed Song Yu a thick stack: "Should it be enough for tonight?"
"Enough!" Song Yu's eyes were almost blinded by laughter.
Qi Rong hesitated, feeling like he was on a big pirate ship.
But...it seems a little hot-blooded. After all, this is the first time he has seen hope of revenge in three months of being on the run.
…
As soon as midnight arrived, Qi Rong arrived in front of the willow tree at the back door on time. There was no sound around and no one could be seen.
Qi Rong walked under the willow tree and looked around warily. At this moment, he heard a slight noise behind him. He narrowed his eyes, reached for the dagger in his arms, and stabbed behind him. "who!"
A man appeared from behind the willow tree, raised his hand to block Qi Rong's arm, and turned his head to avoid the attack. Then he decisively knelt down on one knee and said, "Chen Li has met the young master."
Because Chen Li moved into the Song Mansion a few days ago, he walked around the inner courtyard a lot. Qi Rong had met him several times and knew him. But other than that, Qi Rong didn't have any impression of this person in his mind. Chen Li's kneeling did not make Qi Rong feel at ease. Instead, he hid behind the willow tree as if he was frightened: "Who is your young master? I just came out to pee. Who are you!"
Chen Li immediately kowtowed: "Young master, I don't know. I met the young master two years ago at the state master's side, so I recognized your identity when I saw you in the daytime. I'm just afraid of being delayed." I don’t dare to recognize the young master’s plan immediately.”
Qi Rong frowned and looked at Chen Li in the moonlight. He did feel that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but there were too many people who had appeared in the governor's mansion over the years, and he couldn't recognize them all.
Even so, Qi Rong was not prepared to recognize him directly. He still hid behind the willow tree and stared at Chen Li: "Sir, aren't you from the Safety Department? I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to kneel like this."
