Xin Zi looked shocked.

Looking at Takemoto again, he saw that her face was as disbelieving as himself, and he was even more puzzled.

"Between you...... Don't exchange messages? ”

Takemoto nodded.

"Lord Zuo's arrangement, in order to better hide our identities, we all have to act alone. So no one knows who else is Lord Zuo's people besides himself, and they don't know how many hidden piles have been arranged in this city. ”

Xin Zi didn't ask any more, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Zuo Qiyang, although he didn't know how big the chess game was, he was also well-intentioned.

Facing Li Yuan who was kneeling on the ground again, Xin Zi's eyes softened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Takemoto also recovered from the shock, she had always been unpleasant to this frivolous man, and now she was forced to work with him, which made her feel like eating a fly, and she was unspeakably uncomfortable.

"You must show up to help you immediately when the whistle blows, you don't know this rule, do you?" She frowned and asked in a low voice, "You are in the Tang Mansion, you should have heard the whistle just now, what made you take so much time to arrive?" ”

Xin Zi is far less strict than Takemoto, and now that she wants to break out of such a situation, it is a blessing to have one more helper, how can she care about whether the other party arrives in time or not, so when she heard this, she only smiled slightly, with a calm attitude.

Takemoto didn't mean to let go.

Xin Zi had not been trained like a dead soldier since she was a child, and she understood that many of the behaviors of her group were acceptable. But the man in front of her has grown up step by step with the same training as her. For them, the task is above all else, and no one or anything should be an obstacle to them at any time.

But the time when Li Yuan came over was obviously tired. If he can't give a reasonable explanation at this moment, then he's hesitant.

For them, hesitation could mean death.

Li Yuan got up unhurriedly in the face of Takemoto's questioning, and instead smiled at Takemoto. He knew that he was handsome and that most women could not resist with a smile, so he was used to using it as his killer weapon when getting along with women.

But this killer trick doesn't seem to work when it meets the iceberg of Takemoto now, and the other party is still looking back at him with questioning eyes, and his eyes are even more gloomy because of his smile.

"I followed Tang Yinzhong to the backyard, and he ordered me to guard outside, so as soon as the whistle sounded, I immediately knew that it must be this Xin girl's distress signal." Li Yuan explained unhurriedly.

"Oh?" Takemoto was full of suspicions, where was this to relieve himself, and he clearly wrapped himself in, "You want to say that you should have rushed over earlier than me?" ”

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Of course not," he said and stretched out his slender index finger and pointed at his forehead, "I'm not like you." When you encounter a problem, you just want to work hard, but I have to use my brain. ”

Hearing this, Takemoto lifted the soft sword and struck Li Yuan in the abdomen.

Li Yuan deliberately made an exaggerated posture to cover his abdomen.

"Takemoto."

Xin Zi reminded carefully. It's not that I'm worried that Li Yuanzhen will be hurt by Takemoto-she naturally doesn't buy that kind of pretentious appearance-it's just that time is running out now, and the time left for herself to escape from this gloomy mansion is passing little by little, and she really can't squeeze out much for Takemoto and Li Yuan to fight here.

But although she had never received the training of the group of people left by Zuo Qiyang, she also faintly sensed the importance of the insistence on not fearing death to them from between Takemoto's eyebrows. So she was silent, and gave the two of them enough time to settle their grievances here first—it was better to quarrel in this empty inner room than to suddenly turn against the enemy on the road.

Takemoto immediately understood what Xin Zi meant, put away the soft sword, knelt down on one knee and said, "Takemoto is willing to be punished."

Xin Zi just luckily took Zuo Qiyang's whistle, but he didn't think that he was really qualified to control the dark stakes behind the whistle. She never thought of treating the two of them as a master, so in the face of Takemoto's sudden move, she naturally forgave it immediately and asked her to hurry up.

Li Yuan also understood Xin Zi's worries, and no longer deliberately teased Takemoto, and said, "I heard the whistle, and I was sure it was Miss Xin's cry for help." I knew what this girl needed right now. She is now trapped in this Tang Mansion, and suddenly she thinks of summoning us out, and there is only one possibility - to escape from here.

So I immediately left the courtyard, and found the nearest way to the side gate in the house, and cleared the guards and idlers along the way. Now we went out of the courtyard gate, avoiding the verandah and the cloister leading to the main entrance, and climbed over the carved wall, and went straight out through the west gate, where there were two good horses that I had found temporarily. ”

The two of them listened to Li Yuan's detailed description, and their expressions were a little more surprised.

If what he said was true, then from the time Xin Zi's whistle sounded to the time he appeared outside the door, his efficiency was really amazing, and I have to admit that his judgment was also above Takemoto.

Takemoto is not a person who can't afford to lose, and when he heard this, he immediately put away his edge, and sincerely bowed to Li Yuan and thanked him.

Li Yuan said, "What is there to thank for this, it is my business." While helping Xin Zi up with Takemoto and walking out.

Takemoto finally asked: "When I hear the whistle, I immediately go out to clear the road, and I admire this improvisation." But aren't you worried about Miss Xin's safety? If Miss Xin's life was in danger at that time, wouldn't you be fetching water with a bamboo basket? ”

Li Yuan said indifferently: "How come, isn't there a secret stake of yours whose force value is far above mine guarding here?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuben's brows furrowed again, and he opened his mouth and was about to ask Li Yuan how he knew his identity, but Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "I have guessed that you have been ten since the first day." Your temperament is very different from that of ordinary servants. ”

The two stopped talking and escorted Xin Zi out of the Tang Mansion.

Sure enough, as Li Yuan said, he didn't encounter any guards from the palace along the way. In fact, Li Yuan chose an extremely secret path, so not to mention the guards, even the maidservants have never encountered one.

When he arrived at the west gate, Li Yuan sent Xin Zi on the horse, and then said to the two: "You go first." Tang Yinzhong only left temporarily, and when he came back with the pastries and found that Xin Zi was gone, he would definitely tell Tang Jiashan as soon as possible, and it would be difficult for you to get out at that time. I'll go back and drag him first, and I can drag him for a while. Get out of the city as soon as possible, and don't delay for a moment. ”

Xin Zi also understood in her heart that the reason why they were able to come out of the Tang Mansion so smoothly was only because Tang Jiashan and King Xin expected that she would not have any ability to escape. There is only one such opportunity, and it has to be gambled, and once it is discovered, there is no chance of winning.

So when she heard this, although she was a little worried about Li Yuan's safety, she could only nod her head and said firmly: "We are waiting for you in the small mansion where I used to live on the outskirts of the northern part of the city." ”

Li Yuan responded with a hello, and finally explained: "If you can't wait for me before dark, please leave by yourself and don't worry about me." With that, he patted the horse's back and watched the two leave. (To be continued.) )
