Chapter 168 The Strange Yelan Country
Hearing Xiao Er talking about killing the city guards, Qin Yu clenched his fists in a subtle way.

After a few probing sentences, Qin Yu turned to the main topic: "Do you know any more news about the Yan family?"

Xiaoer was not quite sure what the guest wanted to ask, so he replied thoughtfully: "The Yan family is the first family in Archback City, and they have raised many followers, so they are very powerful."

"When did the Yan family rise?" Qin Yu asked more specifically.

A powerful family like the Yan family will not be recorded in more formal historical records.

Xiao Er scratched his head, recalled carefully, slowly shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but I heard some warriors who came and went talk about the Yan family's affairs, at least four or fifty years ago."

For four or fifty years, it is difficult to infer more specific content.

Qin Yu had no choice but to continue to ask: "Does the Yan family have a strong background? I heard that the Yan family doesn't even give Marquis Akabane any face in Gongbei City."

Akabane Wuhou can be said to be famous far and wide.

Xiao Er immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Akabane Wuhou is a powerful general, and I also heard from the warriors who came from Gongbei City that it seems that Akabane Wuhou was involved in this incident, this Yan family is really too arrogant. As for the deeper background, the villain really doesn't know."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything to ask, Qin Yu waved his hands and said, "Okay, you can go now."

Xiao Er got up and hesitated for a while, feeling that the guest did not ask for the news he wanted, and felt that the reward was a bit unsafe, so he added: "Guest officer, when it comes to news from all parties, the news from Yelan Kingdom is the best , as long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of news there. It’s not far from here, just two hundred miles south.”

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

Qin Yu naturally knew that Yelan Country was well-informed, but he didn't think of going there at first, now that Xiaoer said so, he could indeed try it.

Yelan Country is a small country shrouded in night all year round, rich in killers and spies.

The economic sources of this small country are very peculiar. Since there is no sunshine all year round, most of the planting and production cannot be carried out.

However, because Yelan Country is rich in killers and spies, Yelan Country has formed a very complete information trading channel, which can even pry into the secrets of big countries.

As long as you can afford it, you can buy any kind of information in Yelan Country.

After some consideration, Qin Yu decided to go to Yelan Country the next day to find out the details of Yan's family.

A small country like Yelan Kingdom, which relies on intelligence as its pillar, must know the details of such various forces.

It is no longer important to go to Archback City to investigate the truth about the death of the city guard.

When Qin Yu knew that he had never killed the city guards, the only possibility was the method of the Yan family envoy. It was impossible to find out the truth on the Yan family's territory.

What we need to do now is to recognize who the opponent is, and after confirming the details of the Yan family, we can determine how to deal with it.

……

Shadow Guard's underground prison.

After three days of investigation, Ling Ya returned to Suzaku City to meet Mi Lei.

Mi Lei was imprisoned for three days, eager to know the result: "How is it? Did you find out?"

Ling Ya shook her head helplessly: "According to the traces, Qin Yu did break out of the door. The witnesses in the Arched Back City unanimously believe that Qin Yu beat the two guards with his hands, and the bodies of the two guards have been burned to ashes. I can't come out."

"This is clearly framed!" Mi Lei was furious when he heard this answer.

From the fact that the bodies of the two city guards were burned to ashes, it was clear that there must be something inside this matter.

"But I can't find any evidence. Although the Yan family said they cooperated, they have been obstructing my investigation, and the person who did this is also very familiar with the investigation methods, destroying all things that can be used as evidence, even a little bit of useful things. Nothing was left behind." Ling Ya was very helpless.

It is the most helpless thing to know what is going on, but can't find any evidence.

"Damn it!" Mi Lei punched the wall angrily.

He has always regarded the Shadow Guard as his belief, and has always believed that Qin Yu's refusal to come back with him was a wrong decision, but at this moment he began to feel that Qin Yu's worries were right, and that coming back might really be handing over his fate to a group of hateful people.

"What should I do now? Xiong Man follows me every day and asks me to help save Qin Yu, but I really can't think of any way." Ling Ya was very anxious and couldn't think of any good way.

Mi Lei has been locked up all this time, and there is nothing he can do about it. He walked back and forth anxiously in the cell, and finally grabbed the bars of the small window and said, "Look for the mentor. If there is anyone else who can do it, it can only be the mentor."

Although Ling Ya felt that the tutor might not be able to help, she still nodded, comforted Mi Lei, then turned and left.

……

the other side.

On the day of the accident in Arched Back City, Chi Ruolan wrote a letter and sent the pigeons to the Red Feather Army.

That night, Chi Zhongyan knew about the fight between Qin Yu and Yan's family, and wrote the cause and process of the incident in the letter.

Chi Zhongyan originally planned to send a lieutenant to discuss the matter with the Yan family, but before he had time, he received the news that Qin Yu had rebelled against the shadow guard and treasonously.

All his life, he has been wandering between the two positions of the general of the Akabane army and the idle family. He has a thorough understanding of these undercurrents and knows that this is revenge from the Yan family.

As for the truth, for the superiors, the truth is never important, only the result is the most important.

The determination of the crime of treason needs to be signed by the commander of the shadow guard and included in the list of treason, and the nationwide pursuit will be considered to be officially effective.

This requires a process, and the commander of the shadow guard also needs to think carefully before identifying a person as a traitor.

Therefore, although Qin Yu is currently regarded as treason, the official charges have not yet been determined.

If you want to save the situation, you must hurry up and find Qin Yu before the official charges are issued.

Chi Zhongyan was very anxious, but he was in the position of the chief general of the Akabane Army and could not move easily.

Due to the incompetence of the previous leader of the Akabane Army, he left a lot of bad habits in the army, so the Akabane Army needs to be reorganized.

Now Chi Zhongyan is rectifying military discipline, and he can't get away at all.

"Yelong, is there any news?" Chi Zhongyan asked the scout captain beside him.

The man called Yelong looked about five or sixty years old, with a strand of white hair neatly combed into his forehead, his expression was cold and hard, like a stone, as if he never smiled.

Although Chi Zhongyan didn't ask specifically what the news was, he knew that the only thing the general wanted to know now was that.

"No, the Shadow Guard is still following Qin Yu."

Ye Long had never seen Qin Yu who was on the cusp of the storm, but as the captain of the scout, he knew the information on this matter very well.

"Where is he?" Chi Zhongyan asked again.

"Three days ago, the shadow guards and the patrol battalion had been following the key pass a hundred miles south of Archback City. Two days ago, it was in the jungle southwest of the Crescent Mountain Range. Yesterday, it was in a small town southwest of the Crescent Moon Mountain Range. According to the His movement trajectory is likely to go to Yelan Kingdom." After Yelong told the information that was sent back, he made his own inference.
