When night fell, there were no lights in the Xianyang Fu County Magistrate's Mansion, and it was dark.

Xu Heng and Yang Shen were in the county magistrate's spacious study, and the two of them stood and sat together, waiting for the princess of the rivers and lakes. The former walked around the study humming a little song, and the darkness did not seem to affect him in the slightest, and did not prevent him from marveling at the county magistrate's collection or picking up a book to study it carefully;

It has been two hours since Xu Heng skillfully gained the trust of the county magistrate and coaxed him out of the county magistrate's mansion.

The princess showed no signs of coming.

At least he didn't see the attention he deserved in Xu Heng. In the past two hours, this senior brother just inspected the county magistrate's mansion from front to back, closed the door to enter and exit, and then took himself to the kitchen for a meal.

Xu Heng personally cooked, noodles.

After eating, I went to the county magistrate's study and stayed until now.

I didn't even check it carefully, I didn't even ask about the exact location of that batch, I didn't do anything to arrange it.

Just set up an ambush for the princess of the rivers and lakes?

It's totally an enemy, okay!

He has experienced the methods of the princess of the rivers and lakes.

It is really called "elusive and unpredictable".

Even if the entire county magistrate's mansion was full of soldiers, it couldn't stop her. What's more, it is the city lord's mansion that is not defended at all now.

What is this senior brother going to do?

Yang Shen became more and more unable to understand him. No, I should say that I never figured it out.

However, it was precisely because people couldn't understand that he had some confidence in Xu Heng. The princess of the rivers and lakes is not something that can be caught or defeated by conventional means. Maybe it was really possible for him to capture the princess of the rivers and lakes and free himself? Yang Shen suddenly became excited.

"Well, Senior Brother Xu," Yang Shen decided to remind him, if he can really deal with the princess of the rivers and lakes, "Shall we just wait for the princess of the rivers and lakes to come, and we don't need to prepare something in advance?"

Yang Shen looked around and spread his hands: "Senior brother thinks that it is not defended like this, in case the princess of the rivers and lakes really comes, it seems that it will be difficult to catch her." ”

"Well," Xu Heng put down the novel in his hand, thought about it seriously, and agreed, "You're right. Since you can say that, you must have some ideas, let's talk about it. ”

Xu Heng looked at Yang Shen, looking forward to the latter's suggestion.

Is this a plan to pretend to be ignorant, or is it really not expected?

No matter what kind of speculation it is, Yang Shen regretted that he opened his mouth rashly.

But the arrow was on the verge and had to be sent, the new Golden Sword Master thought about it carefully, and said: "Since the purpose of the princess of the rivers and lakes is the 'that batch of goods' in the hands of the county magistrate, we may be able to do something about that batch of goods." For example, setting up an ambush, applying poison or something. This was the only method he could think of, although he didn't think it would be of any use, he only hoped that it would inspire Xu Heng and come up with a better way.

But it turns out that ordinary people really can't guess Xu Heng's thoughts, Yang Shen's suggestion was rejected without thinking, the young man in Xuanyi paced two steps in the study, walked to the door, opened the door of the study, turned around and said: "Good idea, but it's not necessary." ”

The slightly chilly night breeze blew into the study in mid-October, which shocked Yang Shen's spirits, and he only heard Xu Heng continue: "Do you remember the last words I told you on Xianyang Mountain at that time?"

"'Let's go, let's go to find the princess of the rivers and lakes together'?" After a short time, Yang Shen remembered the young man's words as soon as he recalled them, and discovered the meaning, "We are going to 'find', not to 'catch'?" but ......" Yang Shen frowned, remembering his words to himself when they first met, "Didn't you say that the princess of the rivers and lakes was involved in a major event, and she was specially ordered to *** the princess of the lake?"

"Yes, it's not right!" Xu Heng snapped his fingers, indicating that Yang Shen's answer was correct, "The princess of the rivers and lakes is implicated in many things, but I only have one question, as long as I see her, everything can be solved." So there's no need to catch the princess, as long as I find her, I'll win. ”

"I see. Yang Shen was thoughtful.

"Alright, let's go, our guests are here. ”

Xu Heng greeted and rushed out first. Yang ginseng followed. It wasn't until he ran out of the room, under the reflection of the bright moonlight, that he noticed the wisp of smoke that seemed to be around Xu Heng: "Chengying Sword!" He felt a pang in his heart, knowing how Xu Heng designed to ambush the princess of the rivers and lakes.

The county magistrate's mansion is not big, and with Xu Heng's light skills, he can go back and forth several times in a moment. At this time, the situation was urgent, and it was even more fast, and it was almost a few breaths to the destination-the small back garden behind the county magistrate's mansion.

The towering rockery in the center of the garden lay on the side, revealing a swarthy hole, Xu Heng rushed in without stopping, followed by Yang Shen paused at the door, and said in his heart: When he followed Xu Heng to the mansion before, he had sensed the peculiarity of this rockery, and the goods were indeed hidden here.

Yang Shen looked around at the entrance of the cave, considering whether to go down.

Xu Heng is already below, and the princess of the rivers and lakes is also inseparable, first doing things for the princess of the rivers and lakes, and then helping Xu Heng, it seems that he is no longer pleasing to both sides, and now his current identity is a little embarrassing. But if you leave now, where can you go?

At this moment, it was a dilemma, under the predicament, Yang Shen thought about it several times, and finally made up his mind, made up his mind, and rushed into the hole without hesitation.

……

After that, a small group of people quietly entered Xianyangfu and went straight to the county magistrate's mansion.

Walking to the front of the destination, the group did not go to the main gate, but went directly to a back door of the county magistrate's mansion, took out special utensils and blew it. The agreed signal rang for a long time, and no one came to open the door.

This immediately made the leader nervous. He waved his hand to his men, who lit the fire and went to check the portal, and after a moment returned to report: "It is locked from the inside, and there is no light in the house." ”

The stronger the night wind, the flickering firelight, illuminating the figures of everyone around him, and the serious face of the leader was even more gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Go over the wall!"

……

In the depths of the cave, Xu Heng rushed to the end of the cave in one breath and saw a shadow that had been pursued for a long time.

Not like the outside world rumors, looking at the petite and cute figure, the princess of the rivers and lakes should be a child, not a big beauty who captivates the country and the city, the little princess is wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, standing in front of the two big cars, looking at something. The heavy cover on the carriage had been opened, revealing the yellow, orange, orange, and white gold and silver ingots among them.

Next to the princess of the rivers and lakes stood respectfully a very handsome young man in black, with a respectful demeanor as if he was waiting for the princess's orders at any time. The young man saw Xu Heng rushing over and glanced up at Xu Heng. This glance successfully stopped Xu Heng.

Xu Heng stood two feet away from the princess of the rivers and lakes, watched with interest as the little princess of the rivers and lakes checked the gold and silver of the two carriages, jumped off the carriage, and said happily to the black-clothed young man next to him: "Jiang Zuo and Jiang Zuo, this is enough for two carts of gold and silver ingots......! Well, 800,000 taels of silver. ”

The black-clothed young man leaned over and bowed his head: "Your Highness miscalculated, it should be worth one million taels of silver." ”

"Oh, anyway, it's a lot!" A large amount of gold and silver made the princess feel very good, even if she miscalculated the amount, she didn't care, after counting the gold and silver, she found the young man in Xuanyi standing quietly next to her, and wondered, "Who are you, how did you come here?"

"In," Xu Heng just said a word, he received a blow to the back of his head, his head was stunned, he shook his body and turned around, and when he saw Yang Shen with an expressionless face, he was very puzzled in his heart, why did Yang Shen attack him?

"You,"

As soon as he asked another word, Yang Shen's sheathed golden sword was again, making Xu Heng fall to the ground with hatred.

Putting down Xu Heng, the golden sword was erected, Yang Shen slowly knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Minister Yang Shen see the princess!"
