The two guests who were chatting happily with the waiter in the tea shop were none other than Phantom Shadow and his other companion.

Seeing the excited face of the waiter, Phantom Shadow exchanged glances with his companion, then stood up from the stool at the same time and walked out of the teahouse one after the other.

"I want to report this matter to the young master. You continue to pay attention to the movements here."

After explaining to his companions, Phantom Shadow turned around and disappeared.

Yan Prefecture City, Dailao

Yang Qing has been in this prison for nearly half a month, but no one, including Dai Sheng, really treats him as a prisoner.

Except that he is now in prison, his other treatment is not much different from when he was Yan Prefecture Military Commissioner.

No one paid any attention to what was going on at Yang Qing, and no irrelevant people came in.

Of course, these things are all done voluntarily by the people in Yan Prefecture.

However, although the treatment in this prison is good, he is still in prison after all. Although Yang Qing has not received any bad treatment, he is trapped in the small space of this prison and has not been able to see the sun normally for some time.

His face, which was not pretty to begin with, now looks even more pale.

Yang Qing didn't care much about this, but Bu Er was extremely anxious.

Just when he was restless, there was a slight sound in his ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.

That's right, Bu Er nowadays often hides in the dark to protect Yang Qing's safety.

"Less..."

Phantom Shadow was about to speak, but was stopped by Bu Er.

"Master, he just fell asleep not long ago. Whatever it is, we will talk about it later."

Bu Er gave Phantom Shadow a warning look.

Phantom Shadow was originally focused on what he wanted to talk to Yang Qing, but now after being reminded by Bu Er, he realized that the face of Yang Qing, who was curled up to rest, was pale.

He was taken aback, and his worries became more and more serious. "Young Master, how long are you going to torture yourself?"

You must know that his young master's health is not very good. He had always relied on doctors in the alliance to regularly check his pulse and take good care of himself to achieve his current achievements.

But his willful young master threw himself into prison without saying a word!

Is this place a place for people to stay?

But Phantom Shadow also knew very well that his young master had decided what was going on, and no one in the world could stop him.

Perhaps, it was time for him to go to the alliance leader and deliver a message.

If the young master is allowed to continue such nonsense, something bad will happen when the time comes, which is no joke.

"Bu Er, you are naughty again."

I don't know when Yang Qing sat up from the wooden board.

His face is still a little pale, but his eyes are very bright, exuding a burning brilliance.

"My subordinate disturbed the young master's rest. Please blame the young master!"

As soon as he saw Yang Qing sitting up, Phantom Shadow knelt down on one knee and saluted him.

"Get up, go to Jiang Prefecture this time. Did you find any clues?"

Phantom Shadow heard the words and stood up and said to Yang Qing, "As expected by the young master, Capital City used a golden cicada move to escape. However, our people followed and there was no problem."

Yang Qing heard this and said calmly, "Capital City If that person is so easily manipulated by others, it would be impossible for him to sit in that position for so many years."

"Jiang Prefecture, is there anything on the other end?"

Fu Bonian For such a cautious person, if he really wants to gain something, the only place he can make a fuss about is right there.

"Young Master's prediction is correct. My subordinates found out a piece of news that is related to him. However, this matter is too shocking, and my subordinates are still investigating deeply."

"What kind of news is this?" Yang Qing raised his eyebrows.

Phantom Shadow stepped forward, leaned into Yang Qing's ear, and whispered the information to Yang Qing.

"Oh? This is surprising."

Regarding Fu Bonian, Yang Qing paid quite a lot of attention to him, because a long time ago, he knew clearly that Fu Bonian was Wei Sizhong.

However, at the time of Capital City, because there was not much contact between the two, and there was no intersection, Yang Qing only kept him in mind, but did not put a lot of energy into him.

However, just because he doesn't care much doesn't mean that Yang Qing really doesn't know anything about him.

Thinking of some of the rumors they had received before, plus the news Phantom Shadow and the others had obtained in another place, Yang Qing raised a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, this thing turned out to be as wonderful as he expected.

"This matter is under investigation and we must not alert others."

What he wants is not these idle speculations, but the good show is yet to come.

Phantom Shadow nodded, then seemed to think of something again, and said to Yang Qing, "Young Master, isn't there already conclusive evidence for the death of Northern Liang Left Chancellor? Why do you..."

Why do you have to put yourself in danger?

"Put a long line and the big fish will be able to take the bait."

Yang Qing's face straightened. "When it comes to this matter, please send a message to Northern Hawk."

Then, Yang Qing explained this to Phantom Shadow.

Phantom Shadow's face was full of seriousness, and he nodded seriously while listening. "Please rest assured, young master, my subordinates will definitely take care of this matter."

Yang Qing nodded and said, "Well, that's very good. You can go down."

Phantom Shadow hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to Yang Qing, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"What else is there?" Yang Qing's cold eyes fell on Phantom Shadow, which sent a chill down his back.

Phantom Shadow's hand trembled involuntarily, and then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Yang Qing and said, "This is what the old alliance leader specially asked his subordinates to bring to the young master."

Yang Qing looked at the small porcelain bottle, his eyes flashed, and he reached out to take it. "Phantom Shadow, after the news is passed to Northern Hawk, go and receive the punishment yourself."

After Phantom Shadow bowed to Yang Qing, he walked out of the prison like a ghost again.

Bu Er watched him go away, and looked at Yang Qing with some confusion. "Master, the old alliance leader sent someone to bring you this pill. It was a good intention, but why did you..."

"Bu Er..."

Yang Qing's voice was a little deep. "Don't you know what kind of temper my adopted father is like?"

After hearing what Yang Qing said, Bu Er was also a little silent.

Their Dark Alliance leader, Dark Soul, is over sixty years old and has no children in his life. He has single-handedly grown the Dark Alliance organization to the point where even Northern Liang is a member of the alliance.

Back then, by some mistake, Yang Qing was seriously injured and rescued, and the best doctors were sent to treat him.

Later, he recognized him as his adopted son, which made it clear that Dark Alliance would be handed over to Yang Qing to take over.

Yang Qing's physical well-being has always been Dark Soul's top priority. If he learned that Yang Qing's body, which he had finally nursed back to health, was in trouble again, I'm afraid he would rush out of the Dark Alliance to find Yang Qing.

"Nowadays, things are complicated in Yan Prefecture City. If your adoptive father comes, won't it just cause him trouble?"
