"Wait, Brother Han--"

Qi Lan called him in a hurry, but when she opened her mouth, she felt a little regretful. She had a lot of words to say to Han Xin, but she didn't know how to speak for a while. Han Xin stopped, but Qi Lan was speechless, and an awkward atmosphere spread.

Han Xin waited for a while, but Qi Lan didn't say anything. The ice-filled face seemed to be even colder. He paused and finally turned around and faced Qi Lan.

"What's the matter?" The unemotional voice was cold, but it seemed to contain a hint of expectation.

Qi Lan lowered her head, hesitated, and finally said: "I...I decided to stay with Aji."

The expectation on Han Xin's face turned pale in an instant, and his heart began to ache again. This time the pain seemed to be even stronger than before.

"…Hmm." He squeezed out his throat, not even he was sure what he was saying.

Qi Lan lowered her head and continued, "Aji's life is destined to be extraordinary. She will definitely encounter many ups and downs. I want to be by his side and face it with him."

"...Hmm." Han Xin's hand tighter.

Firm, gratitude, admiration, joy... When she thought of Liu Ji, all the feelings surged up. Qi Lan's face was a little red, and a happy smile remained on the corner of her mouth. She twisted her body shyly, and her shy look very cute.

Qi Lan's eyes, like a sharp sword, pierced Han Xin's heart. He took two steps back and wanted to escape, but his feet seemed to be tied up with stones and could not move at all.

Qi Lan excitedly and shyly revealed all her thoughts, and after that, she covered her face with a little embarrassed. Han Xin had no expression from beginning to end, only her tightly curled up fingers exposed the turbulent waves in his heart.

After trying hard to calm down his inner mood, Han Xin said coldly: "I understand." After that, he turned around and left, his steps seemed much faster than usual, and looking at his back, it seemed that he was running away.

Qi Lan was a little stunned. She originally thought Han Xin would say more, but this time he was extremely indifferent and said much less than usual. Qi Lan treated Han Xin as her elder brother from the bottom of her heart and wanted to share her thoughts with him as soon as possible. However, Han Xin seemed unwilling to talk deeply. Qi Lan muttered in her heart, but she still didn't think much about it.

Back in the courtyard, Qi Lan told Liu Ji what he saw and heard on the street. After Liu Ji pondered for a long time, he seemed to have thought of something and handed over this matter to Lu Wan for investigation. Although Lu Wan seemed cynical, he did things very quickly. That night, he found the true identities of these mysterious people.

"Fengyi Guard?" Qi Lan was surprised: "Didn't Fengyi surrender two days ago? Why did he assassinate Aji?"

Liu Ji had a calm face: "I'm afraid surrender is just a cover. When I attacked Fengyi that day, I felt very strange. The defenders of the court looked frightened and seemed to be afraid of something. And the soldiers who attacked me were very fast and could not be ordinary soldiers at all."

Xiao He fiddled with the teacup in his hand and kept thinking silently. After a long time, he slowly said: "In other words, Fengyi's real purpose in under the name of surrender is to assassinate the Third Young Master?"

Everyone was silent. Lu Wan and Liu Ji looked at each other and agreed to Lu Wan's guess. Qi Lan was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat and clenched Liu Ji's hand in worry.

Liu Ji smiled and patted her hand, indicating that she was relieved. Xiao He was paced back and forth in the room with a serious expression. The others knew that Xiao He was thinking and kept silent.

After a long time, Xiao He suddenly said, "Where is this person Yongchi now?"

Liu Ji was stunned, obviously knowing nothing about the answer to this question. Lu Wan also scratched her head and waved her hand. The rebellion in Pei County had just subsided, and the army's organization and other issues made them busy, and they even ignored the existence of Yongchi.

Qi Lan remembered it very clearly that Yongchi was in Mangdang Mountain that day, which made Han Xin suffer a great humiliation. She had long hated this person so much that she gritted her teeth. Now, after Xiao He mentioned it, she said angrily:

"That vulgar scumbag is said to have disappeared without a trace after entering the city. Brother Han has looked for it several times, but he has not seen it. Humph, it is best to be the farther away from us, the better!"

Xiao He shook his head in annoyance

: "We are all careless. Yong Chi is a narrow-minded person and will retaliate. After we incorporated his troops in Mangdang Mountain, he will definitely hold a grudge and try to take revenge. Han Xin is brave and he has no choice but to vent his anger on him for a moment. He can only vent his anger on the third young master first."

Lu Wan shook the fan, as if puzzled: "Even if Yong Chi wants to assassinate Aji, what can he do with him alone? His subordinates have mediocre martial arts. If they want to hurt Aji, it may not be a weather at all, right?"

Xiao He didn't say anything. It seemed that he didn't understand this problem. After a while, Liu Ji stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go to Fengyi to find out the news myself."

Before Lu Wan and Xiao He could react, Qi Lan said first: "I'll go too!"

"No, it's too dangerous." Liu Ji shook his head: "You stay in Pei County and let Lu Wan and Xiao He take care of you."

"How can that be done? I'll go with you. If you want to kill Yongchi, I can just pinch my fingers." Lu Wan said shamelessly.

The three of them quarreled and the room suddenly became lively. Xiao He covered his head with a headache, shook his head and sighed: "Okay, stop arguing. I also think that Miss Qi will go with him this time, which will be more convenient for investigation."

"Little Hehe--" Lu Wan pouted, not satisfied with Xiao He's words. Xiao He ignored Lu Wan's aggrieved eyes and said to Liu Ji on his own: "This time I go to Fengyi, I need to do something secretly. I guess there must be a hidden secret in Fengyi. You and Miss Qi can pretend to be husband and wife, mingle in the city, and investigate secretly."

Liu Ji was still hesitant, but Qi Lan was eager to try and was very excited. Looking at Qi Lan's excited look, Liu Ji had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
