Chapter 22 "This place is very close to Tuzhou.
You must have just left Chongyang Academy, so why are you being hunted down?"
Chu Jing thought for a while and asked aloud.
Du Qingyan finally finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand.
He was still unsatisfied and wiggling his fingers stuck with the flesh of the sweet potato.
Hearing Chu Jing's question, he pointed directly at Chu Jing's head.
"Why weren't you chased after you left the academy?"
Chu Jing asked in confusion when he saw Du Qingyan shaking his head.
"No, ever since I was in the academy, I felt like someone was always following me secretly."
Du Qingyan said.
"What do you mean by following you?"
Zuo Chi also asked.
"I think you are not bad people, so I won't hide it from you and tell you the truth.
In fact, when I was in the academy, four days ago, I got up at night and saw two people behind the rockery in the east courtyard of the academy. ” Du Qingyan recalled that ever since he saw those two people at night, he felt like someone was staring at him for several days.
"What did you see that would cause trouble?"
Zuo Chi asked again.
"I was really wronged when I said this.
I didn't see anything.
Yesterday when I was running for my life, I told them that I didn't know anything, but they just didn't believe me.
I had no way to escape, so I jumped into the river."
Du Qingyan really didn't know why the two people who wanted to kill him didn't even listen to an explanation.
"I can't swim.
I jumped into the river and choked on my saliva and passed out.
I don't know why I was washed here.
Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I would have died."
Du Qingyan recalled his struggle and fear when he fell into the water, with a look of fear on his face.
"You don't know how to swim and you jump into the river.
The scholar is really useless, stupid and stupid."
After listening to Du Qingyan's words, Deng Si'er thought that he had admired learned people the most before.
When he saw that Du Qingyan in front of him was so rigid and did not know how to adapt, he suddenly felt disgusted with scholars again.
"Don't interrupt."
Chu Jing glared at Deng Si'er, then turned to ask Du Qingyan: "Since you saw two people, did you see their appearance clearly or hear their conversation?"
Du Qingyan thought for a while and then said uncertainly: "I didn't see the appearance of those two people very clearly.
What I am sure of is that one is a student of the academy.
He is wearing academy clothes.
I can recognize him.
There is another one."
Du Qingyan paused, thought more carefully, and said: "The man was wearing purple clothes.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but his skin was very white.
Oh, by the way, there was a big bird embroidered on the cuffs of that man.
Before I could see what it was, they discovered it.
I I was scared and ran away immediately.”
"bird" Zuo Chi thought for a while, who would embroider a bird on his sleeve?
"Yes, the moonlight was very bright that night, and his cuffs were embroidered with gold thread, which reflected light when he raised his hands."
Du Qingyan added.

"Have you ever seen people with birds embroidered on their sleeves?"
Zuo Chi turned to look at Chu Jing and asked.
Chu Jing had traveled around the world for many years, and what he saw and heard was beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
He hoped to hear something useful from Chu Jing's mouth.
However, Chu Jing shook his head and said: "There are indeed many sects in the world that embroider their own logos on their clothes.
Birds and beasts are the most common ones.
I really can't think of them for a while.
Besides, we only know that it is a bird.
The specific one is But I don’t know.”
Zuo Chi nodded.
Thinking about it, they didn't even know what kind of bird they were, so how could they check it out?
"Xiucai, please tell me, did you hear anything in their conversation?
Otherwise, why would they have to hunt you down to silence you?
They can find you.
You should not be far away."
Deng Si'er on the side saw Zuo Chi and Chu Jing both looking sad, so he turned to ask Du Qingyan.
Du Qingyan kept looking at Zuo Chi and Chu Jing, almost ignoring Deng Si'er at the side.
When he heard Deng Si'er speak, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "I was indeed not far from them, but their voices were too soft, so I couldn't hear them clearly.
I just knew they kept talking about potions, death row, and so on.
These two words were repeated the most.
After listening to them twice more, I couldn't hear them clearly.
That’s all I heard clearly.”
"Potion Death Row" What's the meaning Zuo Chi and Chu Jing looked at each other, but the two words were too vague and they couldn't think of anything more.
"Is the potion the one from your Chongyang Academy?
The potion is the one used for writing?"
Deng Si'er didn't pay attention to the death row prisoner.
When he heard about the potion, he thought of the small bottle of blue potion he took out of the box.
Couldn't this be it?
Chu Jing and Zuo Chi's eyes lit up when they heard Deng Si'er's words.
Yes, it's very possible.
"The potion is nothing special.
Although it is a little more expensive, you can buy it as long as you go to Chongyang Academy.
Why do you have to go out of your way to trade it secretly?"
Du Qingyan said at this time, he also had this potion.
It was not a particularly rare thing.
Why was it traded by those two people?
"How do you know they are trading?"
Chu Jing grabbed the topic and asked immediately.
Du Qingyan nodded and said: "Yes, they should be trading, because I saw the man with the bird embroidered on his sleeve giving the man in the academy a box of gold."
"Gold is still a box" Deng Si'er's focus was obviously wrong, so he had to retract his head under Zuo Chi's serious gaze.
Good guy, he has never seen gold in his life, let alone a box.
He spent so much money to buy the writing potion.
Deng Si'er thought about it and reached out to touch the small glass bottle in his arms.
He felt happy.
He also had a bottle of potion.

This should be worth a lot of money.
Deng Si'er was sitting aside and calculating.
The three people here ignored Deng Si'er's sudden interruption and only heard Du Qingyan say again: "It was a box full of gold.
I don't know how much it was.
It was just glittering in the moonlight.
It was the light from the gold that made me accidentally discovered by them."
"Then you found someone following you, do you know who it was?"
Zuo Chi asked.
"I didn't know anyone was following me at first, but for two days in a row I kept being pushed and pushed for no apparent reason.
Once I almost fell from a bridge into a pond, and then I became alert.
This was all done intentionally. ” Du Qingyan showed a scared expression when he thought of this, looked at Zuo Chi and Chu Jing for help, and said pleadingly: "I see that you are extraordinary in appearance.
You must not be ordinary people.
Can you help me and escort me on the next journey?
I have been preparing for this autumn exam for so long.
I finally passed the spring exam and I can't give up no matter what. " "Uncle Jing, this is a problem for you."
Zuo Chi turned to Chu Jing and said.
Zuo Chi knew that there must be others around Chu Jing.
Chu Jing nodded and did not refuse.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to escort you to the capital."
"Then you" "Let's go to Chongyang Academy."
It seems that Chongyang Academy is not a good place either:
