Chapter 75
A quarter of an hour passed, and at this time, there were already four people in the yard.

Wang Qinian brought a piece of news. Yesterday afternoon, the soldiers guarding the north gate saw Si Lili leave the city with their own eyes!
And not long after, several horses appeared outside the city gate, wearing bamboo hats and black clothes, all of them were dressed similarly, and they scattered and walked north.

Combined with this information, everyone discussed for a while, and finally came to several conclusions.

First, Si Lili was well prepared for this escape. On the way, there were people from the Northern Qi Dynasty to support him, and there were 'smoke bombs' to confuse the public. The difficulty of arrest has increased a lot.

Second, Si Lili must have fled to Northern Qi, and if he walked through the North Gate, there were not many ways to go to Northern Qi.

Thirdly, the inspection institute will definitely arrest Si Lili, and Wang Qinian knows the location of a few of the inspection institute's flying pigeons, so they can intercept the news at that time.

But looking at these conclusions, Lin Chen always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, he asked Wang Qinian, "If you go from Kyoto to Northern Qi, are you sure there are only a few routes?"

"That's right, there are only four roads in total, and the most likely way for Si Lili to go is through the important town in the east!" Wang Qinian immediately replied.

He respected Lin Chen very much.

No way, from some channels, he learned about Lin Chen's strength, and for such a strong person, this is just basic respect.

"Can you reach Beiqi by sea?" Lin Chen asked a point that had not been discussed before.

After all, Wang Qinian is just an ancient person, and he sees things in a narrow way, and he didn't even talk about the sea route just now.

As for Lin Chen, he will not be restrained. He has experienced all three modes of transportation, sea, land and air, and even the underground subway.

"Sea route is of course possible. There are several ports to the east of Kyoto, and there are ships that can reach Northern Qi."

Wang Qinian snorted, "However, Si Lili is heading north. If you want to take a detour to the east port, it will take a long time, and the checkpoints you pass along the way will increase greatly!"

"She will be very dangerous if the Inspection Institute wants to arrest her, so she must not go by sea!"

"What if she comes back suddenly and then goes out through the east gate?" Fan Xian said suddenly, "At present, we are all thinking that Si Lili has already left the north gate and is heading for Beiqi."

"Currently including us, the Inspection Institute and the major families think so, but what if she just did it on purpose?"

"At this time, everyone's eyes are looking to the north, and taking this opportunity, she quietly ran back to the capital, and then left through the east gate to go to the port to take a boat?!"

Fan Xian didn't think of this at first, but he suddenly thought of it when he heard what Lin Chen said about Hailu.

"I think it's possible." Lin Chen nodded.

"Well, let's go after him now. We won't be able to catch up anyway, so let's guard at the four city gates. If Si Lili runs northward, we can only wait for the inspectorate to arrest him and come back."

"But if, as Fan Xian guessed, she will return to the capital, then we have a chance to catch her first!"

Several people discussed it again and felt that this plan is feasible!

After thinking about it, Lin Chen made an assignment: "Fan Xian, you guard the north gate, I guard the east gate, Teng Zijing guards the west gate, and Wang Qinian guards the south gate!"

Si Lili left yesterday afternoon in the evening, and soon after she left, the city gate was closed, so it was impossible for her to come in at night.

And now it's only noon the next day, even if she finds an opportunity to come in in the morning, there is a high probability that she is still in the capital now!

After all, if you want to go out quietly under the investigation of the Inspection Institute, you still need to make sufficient preparations.

And even if he ran out, it didn't matter, anyway, Lin Chen also had this psychological expectation, he decided to go out of the east gate first, and drive out for an hour!

Even if the other party is running fast and running all morning, it is definitely not as fast as his lightness kung fu.

In this way, under Lin Chen's assignment, the four separated and went to a city gate each.

After arriving at the east gate, the first thing Lin Chen has to do is to touch it out, and then walk eastward!

After leaving the east gate, there is only one main road for a long distance, followed by a fork in the road, and then another fork in the back.

After estimating the approximate distance the horse could travel, Lin Chen only walked seven forks in total.

However, more than an hour passed, and Lin Chen didn't see any suspicious people on the road. It seemed that Si Lili should still be in the capital, or hadn't entered the capital at all.

Thinking about it, Lin Chen immediately rushed back, and decided to stay in a place where he could see the East City Gate for a while. He wanted to monitor here and wait for Si Li to sort it out.

But walking, on the road, Lin Chen's eyes lit up!
Because on the road facing him, there was a woman riding a horse. When I looked closely, it was Si Lili or someone else!
It's really bright, for a while, Lin Chen was in a good mood, and he stepped forward directly, knocked him unconscious and took him away before he could react at all.

Lin Chen was carrying a person in his hand, which did not affect his speed at all.

Instead of going back to the capital directly, Lin Chen randomly found a dilapidated house on the side of the road, and threw Si Lili into it.

Ahem, don't get it wrong, it's just an interrogation.

'Duh!Duh! '

Tapping the two acupuncture points lightly, Si Lili woke up very quickly.

Still confused, Lin Chen said in a deep voice: "Now I give you two choices, first, die! Second, tell me who is behind the assassination on Niulan Street, and then I will let you go!"

At first, Si Lili didn't understand the situation, but he quickly realized it!
Vigilance asked: "Who the hell are you?!"

Si Lili had met this person before, and he was very impressed, and even investigated his identity.

It's just an ordinary talented person, his name is Zhou Ming, and he is currently serving as a guest minister in Fan's residence, and his strength is estimated to be on the ninth rank!
Obviously, this identity did not convince Si Lili.

At this time, she was the one that the inspection institute wanted to arrest, but this man named Zhou Ming said that he would let him go. Fan Xian couldn't possibly have such courage!

So, there are only two possibilities at this time.

One is that this guy is lying to her, no matter what, she will be caught back.

The second one is also the one that makes her very confused, that is, this guy's real identity is definitely not the same as what he said on the surface, and must have a deeper identity!

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether you want to live or not!"

Si Lili didn't answer this question directly, but asked in a nonchalant manner.

"How do I know if what you said is true?! What if you kill me or take me back after I finish speaking?!"

"Do you think you have a choice?" Lin Chen's tone turned cold, and he took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket.

And handed it over, "Eat this!"

"???"
