"Who?" Qi Lan shouted, but there was no one around, only a branch of a locust tree in the west swaying slightly in the air.

The current situation is self-evident, and someone just heard their conversation here! Xiao Xin’s identity as the prince of Chu can no longer be concealed!

Qi Lan knew the seriousness of this matter. She didn't care about thinking so much, she held the dagger tightly and jumped straight into the window and chased after her.

Qi Lan carefully recalled the mental formulas that Han Xin gave him in her mind, took a deep breath, calmed her heart, luck, and focused all her energy on her legs.

The steps under his feet became faster and faster, and his body gradually became lighter. Qi Lan's figure was like an agile leopard, moving forward and sprinting quickly.

This is light skills!

Qi Lan was ecstatic inside. She felt her body become lighter. The surrounding scenery quickly passed by her. The steps under her feet became faster and faster, like a gust of wind.

Qi Lan's mouth raised lightly, showing a confident smile. She held the dagger in her hand tightly and chased the westward. After about a few hundred meters, a figure in black appeared in front of Qi Lan.

"You little thief! He actually eavesdropped on us!" Qi Lan shouted, speeding up: "Let's see how I'll deal with you if I catch you!"

Hearing this, the man in black turned around and looked at Qi Lan, and his body was obviously hesitant. Then, beyond Qi Lan's expectations, the man in black suddenly stopped. Before Qi Lan could react, he pulled out his sword from his waist and stabbed him straight.

The man in black made a move quickly, accurately and fiercely. The move was fatal. At a glance, he knew that he wanted to lose Qi Lan's life. Qi Lan was shocked and quickly raised his sword to fight. The black-clothed assassin was extremely powerful and made a move ruthlessly. After Qi Lan barely took the next few moves, he felt overwhelmed.

"Damn..." Qi Lan gritted her teeth, and sweat slowly fell from her forehead. A fear surged in her heart. This was the first time she felt the real threat of death. She could not defeat the person in front of her. Even if she caught up with him, she would just give her life in vain.

The man in black sneered, sneering at Qi Lan's weak martial arts. He stroked the sword in his hand across Qi Lan's fair cheeks and then landed on her neck.

"The light skills are good, but the martial arts skills are so bad-" the man in black sneered: "Just because of someone like you, I want to get rid of me?"

Qi Lan knew she could not escape death, but she was extremely nervous and her mood became extremely calm. She raised her head, stared at the man in black and asked, "You have heard our conversation just now?"

The man in black chuckled: "Harvesting criminals of the six countries, do you know how serious this crime is? I am afraid that killing all your nine tribes will not be enough to calm the anger of the public."

"Hmph, what kind of public anger? How can people come from under tyranny? Only the imperial power rule." Qi Lan disdained, and she looked at the man in black: "If I guessed correctly, you should be the subordinate of Mr. Gu Yue."

"Young Master is a master of wisdom. Your every move cannot escape from your palm. You should be glad that you can die in my hands today, which is a bargain for you."

Qi Lan frowned: "What do you mean?"

The man in black sneered: "Those who become the young master's prey will be killed and wiped out and completely disappeared from the world. The young master is a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. If you are so open to him, you will probably die miserably."

Qi Lan estimated the time, thought about it in her mind, and asked, "You can answer my last question, Mr. Gu Yue - who is this person?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely cold. Qi Lan shook her head helplessly and sighed, "I'm all dying people. It doesn't matter if you tell me, at least let me die more clearly."

The sword blade of the man in black pressed against Qi Lan's neck artery. Every time he said a word, the sword blade was a little harder: "Young Master Gu Yue belongs to Daqin--"

Before the words were finished, the man in black felt a soreness and weakness on his body, his whole brain was chaotic, and his vision began to blur.

He was shocked and wanted to kill Qi Lan with all his strength, but he no longer had the strength in his hands and had to fall down with hatred.

"No, no, no, no, finish the words-" Qi Lan hurriedly shook his body, but the man in black had already lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Qi Lan stood up in disappointment and kicked the sword on the ground angrily, showing reluctance. When Yu Ruoyan arrived in a hurry, she only saw Qi Lan standing aside boredly, while the man in black fell at her feet and was unconscious.

Yu Ruoyan was shocked: "What's the situation? Did you knock him down?"

Qi Lan curled her lips and said angrily: "How is it possible? The three-legged cat kung fu I learned from Brother Han can't beat this well-trained killer at all."

"Then this is—"

Qi Lan took out a small bottle from her arms and yang: "It's this fragrant powder. Before I left Pei County, Xiao He gave me a bottle of fragrant powder to protect myself. He told me that this fragrant powder would take effect approximately half a stick of incense, so I sprinkled this fragrant powder on my body before I set off."

Yu Ruoyan couldn't help but admire her and she squatted on the ground and pulled off the man in black's mask. Her ordinary face had no characteristics. She searched in her mind and had no impression of this person.

"What should I do now? Do I need to catch him back?" Yu Ruoyan asked.

Qi Lan shook her head helplessly: "It's useless. A killer of this kind of profession will definitely not confess anything. I'm afraid that he will commit suicide when he knows that he is arrested. I just pretended to be dying and tried to get his words out, but I still failed and asked nothing."

Qi Lan was very unwilling to give up, but there was no way at the moment. She tied the man in black and threw it to the side of the road. She was about to leave, but she saw Xiaoxin and Hongye rushing over in a hurry.

"This is--" Xiaoxin looked at the man in black on the ground in surprise, very surprised.

Qi Lan had to re-tell the story again. After hearing the whole story of the matter, Xiao Xin looked solemn. He frowned, walked to Hongye, and quickly pulled out the short sword from her waist. Without any hesitation, he cut the throat of the man in black with one knife.

The splattered blood dyed the land red, Xiaoxin's clothes red, and even his face was covered with blood. Everyone stood there. Qi Lan's brain turned blank in this moment, and the blood on her face disappeared immediately.

What happened in front of everyone was unexpected. Fortunately, Yu Ruoyan reacted quickly, so she hurried forward and explored the man in black's pulse, but unfortunately the man had already died.
