Chapter 107 Almost lost my innocence

The journey from the capital to Yizhou is long, but Su Yuxing and his party arrived at the broken temple in Nanqiqi and the others in less than a day.

"There is a broken temple in front of Shaoqing, do we need to go up and take a look?" the subordinate asked behind Su Yuxing.

Su Yuxing nodded and divided the entourage into two waves: "This wave followed me to the ruined temple, and the other wave went to the river to see if there was anything unusual."

On the way here, Su Yuxing quietly observed the surrounding flowers and trees, and he observed a small river not far from the broken temple.

If Nan Qiqi and the others settled here, they would definitely go to the river in front to fetch water.

So the soldiers were divided into two groups, one group went to the river, and the other group followed Su Yuxing to the ruined temple.

As he approached the dilapidated ruined temple, Su Yuxing was keenly aware of a strong smell of blood. He glanced around and found no body.

The subordinates who came with him later realized: "Why is this place so unpleasant, Shaoqing, is there some wild animal that died here?"

Su Yuxing's temple jumped.

He sniffed carefully with his nose, recognizing again and again that the smell in the air was the remnants of human blood and not the remnants of beasts.

"It seems that someone has already dealt with us one step ahead of us. There must have been a fierce battle here."

After hearing Su Yuxing's words, the subordinate looked around in confusion.

The ruined temple had been abandoned for a long time, and the ground was full of messy withered grass and dust. He really couldn't see any signs of a fierce battle.

Su Yuxing lifted his foot and wiped it on the ground. The surface ash on the ground was wiped off by his foot, exposing the scarlet soil underneath.

"This!" The subordinate was taken aback, "It turns out to be hidden here, it's hidden too deep, how did Shaoqing find out."

While the subordinates sighed, they also had to admire Su Yuxing's investigative ability.

It is not without reason that he can achieve such a high position at such a young age.

Su Yuxing stepped forward again and swept away the weeds scattered on the ground, revealing large and small holes in the soil behind him.

It looks like a weapon.

Su Yuxing said slowly: "It's because they cover up too deliberately, so they look unnatural."

"The soil on the ground is fluffy, but how can fresh soil be fluffy in a dilapidated temple. And these weeds look messy, but they are neat and deliberately cover the traces underneath."

After listening to Su Yuxing's offending remarks, the subordinates suddenly realized that their admiration for Su Shaoqing rose by a few percentage points.

The subordinates observed Su Yuxing's face and asked hesitantly, "Is the seventh princess safe or dangerous now..."

Su Yuxing couldn't jump to conclusions at this time. He was waiting for the wave of people who went to the river to come back.

"Report!!" A man rushed to the broken temple and almost fell to the ground, holding a token in his hand.

Su Yuxing frowned: "How is the situation by the river?"

The man who rushed in handed Su Yuxing a token with three big characters "Princess Order" engraved in regular script.

"The subordinates found a body by the river. It looked like a groom. This token was found on his body."

Su Yuxing picked up the token and examined it carefully. It was undoubtedly Nan Qiqi's token. In the past, Nan Qiqi used this token to threaten him, and he couldn't admit it wrong.

"How long has that person been dead?" Su Yuxing lowered his hand with a serious expression.

"It looks like he has been dead for two or three days." The people at Dali Temple can more or less judge this.

"Princess she won't be... won't..." The subordinates behind her were incoherent.

"Shut up!" Su Yuxing stopped sharply, his face was very ugly, "Princess, she has her own good looks, and there will be no danger."

He began to carefully observe the details around him again, trying to prove that they were still alive.

After all, Nan Qiqi is not alone, if Luo Xiyan is there... it should be fine.

Su Yuxing pinned the princess' order to her waist and walked outside the door.

He stared in the direction of Yizhou, and suddenly saw a faint trace of a carriage on the ground.

He turned to his subordinate who had returned from the river, and asked oppressively, "Can you see clearly that the man who died by the river was a coachman?"

Under the strong pressure, his subordinates began to tremble and sweat, and he trembled and said, "This subordinate is absolutely true, because something like a horsewhip head was also found on him."

"Okay, very good!" Su Yuxing suddenly began to laugh, and everyone was confused.

Su Yuxing jumped on his horse dashingly, and gave an order to his subordinates who were still ignorant behind him: "Let's go now, and get to Yizhou before dawn."

"Yes!" The accompanying people mounted their horses and whipped their whips, and rushed in the direction of Chaoyizhou.

The sky was still bright, Luo Xiyan patted Nan Qiqi's face: "Qiqi is dawn, we should go."

Nan Qiqi snorted twice and still got up from the bed. The events from last night were still vivid in her mind. She really didn't dare to stay in this ghost place.

"Sister Xiyan, what are we going to do first?" Nan Qiqi shook her head, trying to make herself more sober.

Luo Xiyan had already packed her clothes, picked up the sword and pinned it to her waist: "We went to the Yizhou government today to inquire. Didn't they keep reporting to the imperial court, we should also go and see."

Nan Qiqi cheered up and got up from the bed, nodded and said, "Indeed, it's much safer than these places, and I still have a princess token."

Nan Qiqi touched her package, but she didn't find the token she was thinking of for a long time.

She patted her head and suddenly realized that she had given the token to the coachman before, so how should she prove her identity.

Looking at Nan Qiqi's confused expression, Luo Xiyan burst out laughing.

"It's okay, the governor of Yizhou knows me. After all, I have been working with Su Yuxing for some time, and I have been to these places."

"Oh, that's fine." Nan Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

After Nan Qiqi got dressed up, she hadn't seen Chen Zicheng yet.

She stuck her waist and said indignantly, "Chen Zicheng's lazy pig must still be sleeping!"

Nan Qiqi rushed to Chen Zicheng's room angrily, and Chen Zicheng was still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Nan Qiqi took off Chen Zicheng's pillow, and shouted loudly with his hips on his shoulders, "Chen Zicheng, look at what time it is, are you still sleeping? The sun is about to shine on your butt."

She speaks in a tone and gestures like an old mother waking her child up.

Chen Zicheng was dragged up by Nan Qiqi abruptly. Fortunately, he slept in his clothes last night, thinking that if he was in danger, he rushed to the next room first.

It was because of this that he kept his innocence.

When the group walked downstairs to the inn, there was still no one in the inn, not even the owner of the inn and the servant.

The whole inn was eerily silent, especially the "guests" in each room.

"We must investigate these things clearly. If we go to the government, we can let them seal this place first." Luo Xiyan was calm.

Chen Zicheng was so hungry that he sneaked around to the kitchen, trying to grab something to fill his stomach.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the kitchen, he was taken aback by the sight in front of him. He and the innkeeper looked blankly at each other.

But he is standing on the ground, and the boss is hanging on...
