267 Into the city
The days of Piao Yi in the palace are not easy, although Concubine Yun has no toss, but he has received urgent documents from the northwest and southeast borders, and what is more worrying is that there is no news in Hongcheng, and it is the father and son of the Xu family who sent the news, saying that they were attacked by unknown people at the junction of Hongcheng and Yacheng.
Although there were not a few deaths, many were injured, and they are now stationed in the dangerous Niutou Mountain. I don't know what happened to Yaka? And what did the Apricot Forest Fairy solve the plague in the two villages under the jurisdiction of Hongcheng?
When she mentioned Yaxiang's flowing eyelids, she couldn't help jumping, always a little worried about Yaxiang's safety.
"What news did they have coming?" Piao Yi called the rain and asked.
"Niangniang has no news, they saved a faceless man, Niangniang asked them to take the man to Yacheng, and now they have lost the news of Niangniang." Yu knew that the emperor was referring to the bamboo and chrysanthemum under the queen, and it seemed that the emperor was worried about the mother.
"The Man without a Face? But who is he? Is Xiang'er in Hongcheng City? Piao Yi walked around the imperial study in an irritable mood, they had lost the news of Hongcheng, and it seemed that there was an invisible force that cut off Hongcheng from the outside world.
"The man was poisoned and dumb, unable to speak, his hands were broken, unable to write, and now he is being treated according to the method that Niangniang said, although it has improved somewhat, but I am afraid that I will have to wait a month or two to speak, and my hands may take a year and a half to be able to write." Yu actually wanted to know who the man was, but unfortunately he couldn't help it in a hurry, so he could only wait for the man to recover slowly.
"This urgent document said that Qi Hongyu was missing, and the Northern clan took the opportunity to provoke a war. Inform the two horses and ask them to lead an army of 100,000 to support the northwestern and southeastern frontiers respectively, and set off on the same day. Piao Yi looked at the emergency document and frowned and said, how could Qi Hongyu be missing? That is the only grandson of General Qi, if he encounters an accident, the Qi family will really be broken, and this matter has to be hidden from General Qi for the time being.
The generals in the court were suspicious, and Piao Yi decided to use the four sons and the fifth sons of the Zhou family, and he didn't know that the two had gone to Hongcheng.
"Qi Qi Xià, the two concubines went to Hongcheng a few days ago, and the old general Qi received an anonymous letter from Hongcheng, saying that the prefect of Hongcheng may have died in his post, and the current prefect is a fake prefect Fang, and the two concubines went to investigate the matter." Since the two horses do not have specific positions, they can act at will on weekdays, and Yu also heard yesterday that the two went to Hongcheng.
"Is there such a thing? Who was so bold as to murder an official of the imperial court? Could it be that these people are related to the Northern Tribe, the Zombie Tribe, and the Ghost Valley found in Hongcheng some time ago? "Piao Yi is really shocked, if it's really related, then the faceless man is the prefect of Fang?
The information they received was not complete, and they didn't know who the man was, but it was related to the Hongcheng Fang Governor? Of course, Piao Yi didn't think that the man was the prefect of Fang.
The situation in Hongcheng is getting more and more chaotic, and Piao Yi can't help but worry about Yaxiang's safety, you must know that the two maids who followed her to Hongcheng, Zhu and Ju, have been sent by her to take care of the faceless man, she is alone, and if something happens, no one will report it.
Of course, Piao Yi didn't know that Yaxiang was not alone, the industry of Siming Palace was all over the place, Hongcheng was an important city, how could there be no industry of Siming Palace, but there were really not many people, Siming Palace was developing too fast, and there was indeed a shortage of manpower, and every batch of cultivation was sent to various places, especially the cultivation of dark guards was a long-term thing.
It has been less than ten years since the development of the Siming Palace, and there is a shortage of dark guards.
Ri went to Yuyao City to take away a few dark guards, and transferred some people from the dark, Yu Yihuang received Yaxiang's letter, and also sent a team of people to Yuyao City to help find the moon.
And he himself heard about Hongcheng's situation, worried about Yaxiang's safety, and rushed to Hongcheng with a few henchmen, and there was another person secretly behind them, that is, Liu Yin.
Liu Yin's mind can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, not to mention Yu Yihuang himself, Yu Yihuang's departure this time is to worry about Yaxiang's safety, and secondly, to deliberately avoid Liu Yin.
The secluded valley is not his Yu Yihuang's territory, and he can't do anything to Liu Yin, since this is the case, then he can avoid it.
Yu Yihuang knew that it was impossible for him to be with Yaxiang, he just regarded Yaxiang as his sister, he just had to watch her be happy.
Now he was in a hurry to rush to Hongcheng, and he didn't notice that there was an extra tail behind him.
Zhou Feng and Zhou Fan did not go directly to Hongcheng, they heard that the escort led by the Xu family father and son was attacked, they went to see the Xu family father and son first, and the two briefly said their purpose for coming to Hongcheng, Xu Chengming was surprised when he heard that the prefect of Fang might be a fake person, but he suddenly understood why they were attacked at the junction of Hongcheng and Yacheng.
If it was still the former Fang Governor's Mansion, such a thing would definitely not happen, Xu Chengming had also interacted with the Fang Governor's Mansion, and knew that that person was a dignified person, and would not let his subordinates openly attack the imperial doctor he escorted, it seems that that person is really as stated in the anonymous letter, most of them are fake.
Is there such a superb art of disguise in the world? Unexpectedly, the wife and children of Governor Fang's mansion were no longer recognized by his subordinates?
Xu Chengming didn't know about the disguise change incident, and thought it was just an ordinary disguise technique.
I heard that Zhou Feng and Zhou Fan were going to Hongcheng, Xu Yuancong also wanted to go and see, his purpose was to see if he could meet his sister Yaxiang in Hongcheng, of course, Hongcheng was under martial law, and if you want to enter Hongcheng, you have to climb over the high city wall and enter.
The light skills of the three of them were not bad, they did not bring a secret guard, and went to Hongcheng even at night.
Outside Hongcheng, there are more than a dozen people who also want to enter the city, but they look at the heavily guarded city gate, and the high wall is a little difficult, they are the secret guards sent by Yaxiang, although the light skills are not bad, but now the guards are strengthened everywhere in the city wall, and it is really difficult to enter the city through the gap.
They should have entered Hongcheng two days earlier, but they encountered more than a dozen Bei people outside the city, although they were masked, and there was a conflict between the two parties, fortunately, they also had a lot of poison in their hands, I heard that it was the formula given by the palace master, but a few people escaped, they went to chase and kill, and chased for two days and two nights, but they still let the two escape, they had to turn back, and the heavily guarded Hongcheng, so that they had to wait for the opportunity to enter again.
"Watch, watch, you two and a few of them, stay outside the city to answer." Kaede looked at the tall city wall and estimated which of the dark guards could easily cross over, and it would be difficult for the injured ones to cross over, and there was indeed a need for someone to pick them up outside the city.
"Yes." Although the two of them also wanted to enter the city, they knew that it was not realistic to rely on a few injured secret guards outside the city to respond, so they simply agreed.
