Chapter 86: The Mysteriously Missing Follower

Xiang Rong turned around helplessly to lead the way, not forgetting to glance at the pheasant on top of the fire before leaving, but all he saw was Su Yi putting out the fire with a flick of his sleeves.

That's all, it's just a few pheasants, just eat them. If you train them later, these pheasants will be worth it in exchange for the kindness of the envoys from the Qin Dynasty - Xiang Rong kept giving himself psychological comfort.

With Su Yi's extremely casual "It doesn't matter", Xiang Rong had no choice but to change his original plan, temporarily mobilized a group of guards and entourage, bought two carriages, and set off directly on the road to the General's Mansion.

By the way, the general's mansion that Su Yi and the others are going to is not the Yuci General's Mansion in Yingcheng, the capital of Chu, but the General's Mansion in Danyang City, not far from Yingcheng. The reason why the general's mansion was built in Danyang City was because the city was close to the border of Qin and Chu. As a general, Xiang Yan was stationed here specifically.

It stands to reason that when there is no external trouble, the general must return to the court and hand over military power. However, at this time, the king of Chu has no real power, and all military and state affairs are decided by the Xiang family headed by Xiang Yan.

This is not to say that the Xiang clan is a treacherous villain with great achievements. On the contrary, the Xiang clan is absolutely loyal to the Chu State. This time, it is only because of the incompetence of the king that they took over the power. In order to leave such a loss of face for the king of Chu, Xiang Yan asked to leave the capital and stationed in Danyang all year round. He would never return to Yingcheng unless it was a major incident.

However, this time they went there as a group, and they should go back - Su Yi thought secretly.

It was night, already the third night since they set out. Su Yi and Gai Nie were nesting in the carriage, about to go to bed, when they suddenly heard Xiang Rong's voice outside.

"Two adults, I have something important to report. The matter is urgent and I have disturbed you. Please don't take offense."

"Hey, senior brother, look, I was right, someone came to your door tonight."

"You are the best, go and see." Gai Nie has long been used to Su Yi's convulsions from time to time, and sometimes he can play with Su Yi. This time, it's no exception.

"Master Xiang, what's important?"

Su Yi turned around and jumped out of the carriage neatly. The Confucian uniform that had not yet been changed stood out in the dark night.

Xiang Rong raised his head and saw Su Yi's strong and vigorous figure, and secretly admired "what a handsome Kungfu", but there was no trace of it on his face, just a businesslike look, with a bit of just the right amount of flattery. .

"Master Su, I didn't want to disturb you two at first, but I kept repeating the same thing for three nights in a row. I felt really uneasy, so I came here to disturb you."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed.

"This... I'm ashamed to say..."

"What exactly happened? Sir Xiang can just be direct and strict. If he hesitates like this, doesn't he lose the demeanor of a general of the Xiang family?"

"Alas... Come on..." Xiang Rong sighed, "Master Su, from the first night we set out, our entourage began to disappear."

"Missing?" Su Yi's lips curled up, looking quite interested.

"Yes, because at first, only two people were missing, and I just sent a few people to find out the news. Yesterday, two more people disappeared, and I felt that this was something strange. It was not until just now that my subordinates came to report that two more people were missing. , I now feel that it is necessary to inform you two. I am really worried that something will happen to you two."

"That's it." Su Yi nodded gently, then lowered his head to think, and after a long while, he looked at Xiang Rong again.

"Master Xiang, from what you said, this matter is indeed strange. I just wonder if the people sent by Master Xiang to find out the information have found any clues? After all, it is not easy for me and my senior brother to be unaware of anything."

Hearing this, Xiang Rong rolled his eyes silently. It was not just simple. Who knows, recently there were two young men in front of the King of Qin. They studied under Guiguzi Wang Xu, and their martial arts were unrivaled in the world. Their resourcefulness was also top-notch. Not only did they solve the case of the Moon God being arrested, but they also replaced the Yin and Yang family and became the winner. The person whom the government trusts most. If there is anyone who can surpass the two of them, I really can't think of one or two for this honor.

"To be honest, Mr. Su, the people I sent out to find out the news have never returned."

"Not back..." Su Yi straightened his slightly wrinkled robe, and smoothed the two strands of black hair that were intentionally left on his forehead. It was obviously a normal action, but it made Xiang Rong feel a rush to his face. pressure.

After being silent for a long time, Xiang Rong's legs began to tremble, and big beads of sweat fell down on his face. Xiang Rong knew that continuing like this was not an option, but he refused to bow his head out of the arrogance of a warrior.

After holding on for half a stick of incense, the pressure released by Su Yi no longer increased, but it was just stuck at the limit of Xiang Rong's endurance. A trace of sweetness surged in Xiang Rong's throat, but he had to swallow it alive. Down.

Finally, Su Yi felt that it was almost done and gave up the pressure. Xiang Rong looked pale and took ten steps back before he could stand firm.

Su Yi glanced at Xiang Rong approvingly, "Master Xiang, there is no need to investigate the matter of the disappearance of the entourage. We can just move on. I believe that with Master Xiang's skills and the strength of my senior brother and I, we can definitely do it." Arrive at Danyang City safely. As for those followers who have disappeared, I, Su Yi, hereby promise that I will give an explanation to Master Xiang, the General's Mansion, and the Xiang family."

"In that case, I will obey Mr. Su's instructions."

Xiang Rong said goodbye, but Su Yi did not immediately go back to the carriage to sleep. Instead, he watched Xiang Rong's slightly embarrassed but stubborn figure completely disappear from the other side, then lifted the curtain of the carriage and sat in.

"Is the matter resolved?"

In the carriage, Gai Nie was wearing his middle coat, closing his eyes and concentrating, when he knew Su Yi came in.

, opened his eyes slightly.

"Um."

Seeing that Su Yi had no intention of saying more, Gai Nie knew that Su Yi had his own plans, so he stopped asking any more questions and closed his eyes first, preparing to go to bed.

Unexpectedly, Su Yi spoke at this time.

"Brother, do you think that honor is worth a visit to the Divine Prison?"

Gai Nie was startled by the tone and content of this casual chat...

"It's not enough for you to grab two followers and go in to accompany Xiang Ruan in one night? Why, do you think the Medal of Justice is not enough? Or... do you think Xiang Ruan is too lonely and must be accompanied by someone?"

"Isn't this a good thing that has the best of both worlds?" Su Yi smiled evilly, "Of course there are not too many medals of justice. As for Xiang Ruan... To put it bluntly, he is just a wanderer with good luck. He is not worth mentioning. Wait until he is purified. Just send him away when you're done. Junior brother, I'm more interested in...
