Chapter 136 Investigation
"Ye Qi, look!" Bai Xin called out softly to remind Ye Qi.
I saw two people walking out of the house behind the backyard of the tavern downstairs.
"It's the same person as in your portrait!" Ye Qi said coldly: It's definitely the Xichang spy!"
Zhong Shu, Xu Rong, Mo Tian and others heard the conversation between Ye Qi and the others, and went behind the window to peek at the appearance of the two people.
"Li Ze, take the rifle down, they are out!" Let it smell them and remember their smell.
"Okay!" After listening to this, Li Ze grabbed his rifle and walked downstairs.
"There is someone guarding outside the house!" Bai Xin said.
"Hmph, in a tavern, it takes two people to guard the door of a room!" Ye Qi snorted coldly.
"Stay at the inn across the street today. Come back to investigate at night when there are fewer people!"
"Yes!" Several people responded.
As Ye Qi was speaking, Qiangba had already run to the door and shouted twice. Everyone woke up and sat down at the tables. Bai Xin and Ye Qi resumed drinking tea and chatting.
At the same time, two waiters came in carrying food, and Li Ze followed behind them. It was he who saw the waiters coming up just now, so he asked Qiang to come up first to warn them to avoid alerting the enemy.
"Sir, the dishes are ready, please enjoy!"
After the two waiters arranged the dishes, they left.
Li Ze followed them and closed the door.
"Little Rifle, I'll give you a big chicken leg as a reward first!" Bai Xin walked to the table and left a big chicken leg for Rifle.
Rifle was so happy that it drooled. It barked, took a light bite of the chicken leg that Bai Xin handed to it, and hid aside to savor it carefully.
"Madam, would you like to have a chicken leg too?" Ye Qi pulled her over, sat her next to him, and asked with a smile in his eyes.
"Well, the remaining big chicken drumstick has to go to Xier. She and Qiangqi are the two with the best acting skills today!" Bai Xin said with a smile.
"Princess!" Xier was a little embarrassed.
"Don't be embarrassed. Min'er will reward you with a big wing. You two can sit down and eat together!" Bai Xin said to Min'er and Xi'er. The two of them were about to prepare the food for her behind her.
"Princess, this is against the rules!" Min'er said.
"When I'm away from home, my rules are the rules! Right, General?" Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi and asked. His eyes didn't look like a question, but rather like he didn't allow any objections.
Ye Qi nodded helplessly. How could he dare to object? He kept picking up her favorite dishes for her.
"Look, the general has no objection. You guys should sit down quickly. Look how self-conscious that secret guard is!" Bai Xin saw that the two of them were still hesitating and pointed at Li Ze. That man had already pulled Mo Tian down to start eating!
"I will never let your Highness down!" Li Ze nodded shamelessly, picking up vegetables with his hands.
Bai Xin rolled her eyes at him, then said to them, "Next time you go out with me, you have to be as thick-skinned as him!"
Min'er didn't say anything. It was the first time Xi'er went out with her, so she had to let her get used to it slowly. She wanted to make these girls who followed her confident, so that they could live bravely even if she was gone.
"Yes, Princess!" The two of them giggled, and then sat down. Bai Xin gave each of them a chicken leg and a chicken wing, and then they relaxed and started to eat.
Xu Rong and Zhong Shu looked at this scene and understood it. It seemed that the general's mansion was controlled by the lady. As for the two girls, their future marriages must be controlled by the lady, so they had to please the lady.
After they finished their meal, Ye Qi and his friends moved to the room of the inn opposite to arrange for tonight's investigation.
"You really don't want me to go?"
Seeing that Ye Qi had arranged everything and returned to her room, Bai Xin hurried forward and asked.
Tonight they have to investigate three locations, in addition to the Ruyi Ju Restaurant next door, there are also the Yunqing Teahouse and Desheng Pawnshop. They have to find out their specific structures and the locations where the weapons are manufactured without alerting the enemy.
Even though Ye Qi, as the chief officer, did not need to go in and investigate personally, he still had to guard outside. If there was any unusual movement, he would immediately gather his men and join the battle.
So Bai Xin was still very worried. If she could be there, at least she could help if there was any trouble.
"We just need to investigate tonight, and you can rest in the room. If you go with me, I will be distracted!" Ye Qi said as he hugged her in his arms.
"Then you take Li Ze with you. He was a scout and is more familiar with his commands. It will be easier for him to find where those two people went today!"
Bai Xin lay in his arms, looked up at him and suggested. With Li Ze going, she could feel more at ease.
"He has to stay here to protect you!" Ye Qi shook his head in objection. He would only feel at ease if he or Li Ze was guarding her.
"It's okay, I'll be fine. I promise I won't let myself get lost again!" She assured him.
"Xin'er!" When Ye Qi heard her mention this, his heart trembled even more, and he held her hand tighter.
"If you take Li Ze with you, I will stay here peacefully. Keep the door closed and don't go out. Otherwise, I might turn around and follow you!" Bai Xin threatened arrogantly.
"Xin'er, you disobeyed me twice and threatened me twice. Do you know what the consequences will be?" Ye Qi looked at her dangerously!
"Well, didn't he already punish him last time in the mansion? The threat only counts once!" Bai Xin said fearlessly.
"Xin'er, I've taken note of your threat. After the battle, you'll be in trouble!" Ye Qi said gritting his teeth in her ear.
Bai Xin swallowed, glared at him and said, "We'll talk about it later. Anyway, you have to take Li Ze with you tonight!"
Ye Qi was so angry that he leaned over and captured her lips fiercely and kissed her until she was completely out of breath. Finally, he bit her lips lightly and hard before letting her go.
"It hurts...!" Bai Xin gasped and cried out softly.
"Close the door and don't open it until I come back!" Ye Qi glared at her and said viciously.
After saying that, he hurried out.
"Hmph!" Bai Xin snorted in dissatisfaction, but as she looked at his back as he walked away, she couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes.
She took out his Bagua Jade Box from her carry-on luggage, pricked her finger to draw blood, and lightly drew a line in the center of the Qian Gua. A faint red light appeared in the blood-stained Gua, but soon disappeared.
Bai Xin's heart felt like it was cut by a knife, and it was so painful that she couldn't even breathe.
I used a cotton swab to press the bleeding finger to stop the bleeding. I took a look and fortunately, the needle was thin enough that it was not obvious that the finger had been pricked. In this way, Ye Qi would not be able to find it.
He curled up in bed, sweating profusely because of the pain. After taking a few deep breaths, he finally recovered a little. Fortunately, it didn't last long and he could bear it, Bai Xin thought with a chuckle.
The moon is setting outside the window. I lie in bed unable to sleep, just hoping that everything is alright.
