Infinite flow: The non-African's partner is the European emperor

Xie Fei squeezed Zhou Xing's hand and said silently: "Zhou Jinli is really cruel!"

Zhou Xing looked at Xie Fei with a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes. He could empathize with Zhou Jinli's feelings at the moment.

If Xie Fei ran away from him like Xie Zhixing did, he would be even more extreme than Zhou Jinli and would not give Xie Fei this opportunity. He would chain him up and lock him up at home, not allowing him to go anywhere except by his side.

Xie Fei felt a chill on the back of his neck when he looked at him like that, and he puffed out his cheeks and pinched his waist.

The situation in the house became more serious, and the father and son looked like they were about to fight.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the old housekeeper's voice came: "My lord, someone has arrived."

The tense atmosphere was instantly broken, and Prince Qing waved his sleeves and said, "I will send someone to look for him. You stay in Kyoto and don't go anywhere."

Having said that, he walked out of the door, and asked the butler to keep an eye on Zhou Jinli and not let him leave the palace.

Xie Fei looked at Zhou Jinli's face through the gap in the roof, and sighed in his heart that everyone has times when they are helpless.

Prince Qing sent a team of people to look for Xie Zhixing's whereabouts, but after searching for half a month, they still couldn't find any trace of him, which made people wonder if he really died somewhere.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more solemn day by day. Zhou Jinli indeed did not leave his room again, but this also seemed very unusual.

One day later, Xie Fei met Zhou Jinli's servant.

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Jinli to come to see him.

Still at Haokeju, Zhou Jinli looked much thinner than he was half a month ago, with dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

Zhou Xing came with Xie Fei. He was holding a knife in his arms, with half of his face covered. He stood behind Xie Fei with a cold expression, and the more he looked, the more he looked like a bodyguard.

Zhou Jinli glanced at him, then at Xie Fei. He poured him a cup of tea and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to ask you to do something for me, sir."

Xie Fei took a sip and already knew what he was talking about.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I know Zhixing went to look for you." Zhou Jinli's hands on his knees tightly grasped his clothes, his knuckles were a little white, and his expression was unbearable. "I believe you have also heard about Zhixing's disappearance. Yesterday, my people sent back a message that Zhixing's whereabouts were found in Yancheng. I can't leave Kyoto, so I can only ask others to help me. Zhixing trusts you very much, so I would like to ask you to confirm whether he is there."

"Your Highness, do you believe me?" Xie Fei asked him.

Zhou Jinli was silent for a while, and finally said only one sentence: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, as long as Zhixing believes in you."

"Okay." Xie Fei had originally planned to go find Xie Zhixing. It would be wonderful if someone gave him a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy.

As far as he could remember, Xie Zhixing also learned his true identity during this period.

Zhou Jinli directly gave him a stack of banknotes and covered all his expenses.

But the situation was urgent, so they didn't have time to prepare. They immediately arranged for a carriage to take them out of the city.

Chen Xuan and the others were a little surprised when they received the news. It was too sudden.

Xie Fei asked them to stay in Kyoto with peace of mind, and after finding Xie Zhixing, he would probably speed up time again.

Yancheng is in the west and is the only way for the Northern Army to march. I guess Xie Zhixing wanted to catch up with the Northern Army, so he rushed there as soon as possible.

It took Xie Fei and his companions four or five days of continuous travel to reach Yancheng. The carriage was so shaking that their butts were almost hurting. They changed to riding horses halfway through the journey and finally successfully reached their destination.

"How can I find him?" Xie Fei thought, stroking his chin. This is a city after all, and it's not easy to find someone.

"Ask first." Zhou Xing took off the bamboo hat on his head and put it on Xie Fei's head. The hanging black veil covered his face.

Xie Fei asked in confusion: "What is this for?"

Zhou Xing said: "There are many people in the underworld here, and a weak and feeble scholar like you is the easiest to be targeted."

Xie Fei curled his lips and said, "Don't I have you? Besides, I'm not that weak."

Zhou Xing squeezed his hand, and under the wide sleeves, their hands were tightly clasped together so that no one could see.

The two men found an alley where a beggar, dressed in rags and holding a cane, lay.

"Uncle, can I ask you something?" Xie Fei threw a small piece of silver into his broken bowl.

"Sir, please ask." The beggar was overjoyed and quickly put the change in his arms.

Xie Fei asked: "Has the Northern Army ever been to Yancheng?"

The beggar said, "I just left yesterday."

Xie Fei stared, it seemed that they were still a step too late.

"Then do you know which direction they went?" Xie Fei asked again.

The beggar nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know. Didn't they hear yesterday that there was a robbery village 20 kilometers away from Yancheng? They took people there yesterday."

"Thank you." After getting the information he wanted, Xie Fei threw another piece of silver into his bowl, then took Zhou Xing out of the city.

Calculating the time, if they catch up now, they should still be in time.

In the evening, they caught up with the main force of the Northern Army and encountered them setting up camp.

As soon as the two approached, they were stopped. A group of soldiers surrounded them and asked sternly: "Who are you two?"

Xie Fei stated his purpose directly: "Excuse me, is Master Xie Zhixing here?"

The soldiers were silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you want from him?"

Xie Fei said: "We were asked by someone to come and look for the young master. We want to know if he is safe now."

The soldiers immediately understood that it seemed that these two people came because of Xie Zhixing’s previous fall off the cliff.

"He's not here." The soldier replied, trying to drive them away: "Leave quickly, this is not a place for you to approach."

"Then may I ask one more question?" Xie Fei asked, "Is he okay?"

"it is good."

After the soldier answered coldly with one word, Xie Fei did not continue to argue and the two left.

After arriving at a post station in the wild, Xie Fei stroked his chin and analyzed: "It seems that Xie Zhixing has returned to the Northern Army, but he doesn't want others to know that he is in there. Why?"

"There's still time to sneak in and take a look tonight." Zhou Xing said lightly.

Xie Fei nodded in agreement, he just thought so.

When night fell, the two men changed into night clothes and sneaked into the camp of the Northern Army.

The two hid in the dark and eavesdropped on the soldiers' conversation, and then found the tent where Xie Zhixing was.

As soon as I approached the tent, I heard the voice of Xie Zhixing talking to someone.

"How can I believe what you said?"

Xie Fei leaned against the tent and listened carefully, but did not hear any other voices. It sounded like Xie Zhixing was talking to himself.

"You saved my life, I'm grateful, but what you said is too unbelievable, I need some time to think about it."

Through the light in the tent, they could see two shadows inside, one was Xie Zhixing, and the other was... the fox sitting on the table.

"Xie Bai." With just this one glance, Xie Fei's mind automatically popped up the fox's name.
