On the second day after arriving at the front line, Mu Huanyan and Ling Ran disguised themselves as a civilian couple, carrying their burdens, and made a detour to Qiyang City. Fifty miles outside the city of Qiyang is an important garrison, so the guards at the city gate are very martial law.

When Mu Huanyan and Ling Ran walked to the gate of Qiyang City, the guards inspected the people entering the city one by one.

Mu Huanyan and Ling Ran looked at each other and smiled, and they lined up tacitly to be inspected. Mu Huanyan's appearance was not stunning, but she simply made up, with a headscarf around her head, without any decoration, only a light makeup on her face, and a flower on her eyebrows to hide people's eyes.

Ling Ran walked in front, the guards touched his whole body, and found nothing, so he was ready to let go, and Mu Huanyan followed behind him to enter the city with him.

The guard immediately stopped her and said, "Wait, what's in the baggage?" ”

Ling Ran smiled and said, "This is a cheap woman, I accompanied her back to her mother's house to visit her sick mother-in-law, that is, I brought casual clothes and supplements." ”

"Open it and take a look."

Ling Ran hurriedly took off the burden from Mu Huanyan's body and handed it over to the guards.

In addition to some clothes in the baggage and some medicines in the army, Mu Huanyan also specially put two gold ingots in it.

The guard rummaged through the baggage, and at a glance he saw the two gold ingots, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"You don't look like rich people in your dress, do you?" The guards squinted at Ling Ran.

Ling Ran hurriedly said: "My mother-in-law is seriously ill, and the younger one is also borrowing from the left and right, so I scraped together all this money to visit." Please also open the adult and let the small one enter the city. ”

As he spoke, Ling Ran took an ingot of gold and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

"Okay, let's go, let's go."

Entering the city, Mu Huanyan and Ling Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The second prince is out of the city, and the idlers are avoiding-" Ling Ran pulled Mu Huanyan and immediately flashed to the side of the road.

A group of soldiers with spears and shields in their hands walked in front, followed by several men on horseback, and then soldiers with spears.

One of the horsemen was at the front, dressed in silver-white armor. There was not a hint of expression on his face. Mu Huanyan held back a glance at the hem of his clothes, there was yellow satin in it, presumably this person was Chu Yichen, the second prince of Xiangguo.

The team walked out of the city gate, and Ling Ran and Mu Huanyan continued to walk forward.

Ling Ran said: "Look at the temperament and appearance of the second prince. He is also an extraordinary person. ”

"He is a prince. Naturally, it is not the same as the common people. You've just changed your outfit now, and if you walk down the street with him so majestic, others will praise you for your extraordinary temperament. ”

"I can't see it. Your mouth is still quite sweet. ”

"Don't be funny, let's hurry." Mu Huanyan urged.

"Where do we go next?"

"Go to the teahouse, there are a lot of people there, and there are storytellers and singers, maybe you can hear some news."

"Sure enough, you're smarter, how do you say you know so much, where did you learn this?" Ling Ran was very curious.

These, of course, were learned from Ling Mo in his previous life, if it was possible, Mu Huanyan would also tell him let's go to the Qinglou, it would be better to inquire about the news there, but because of the identity, go to the teahouse first to listen and then talk, if you still can't inquire, you can go to the Qinglou again.

After walking around Qiyang City, they found a large and lively teahouse, and the two walked in and found a place to sit down.

"Two guest officers, what do you need?" The shopkeeper came over and greeted him warmly.

"A plate of peanuts, half a catty of beef, and any refreshments that can fill your stomach."

"Okay, what kind of tea do you drink?"

"Pu'er."

"Guest officer, it sounds like you're a foreigner."

"Yes, my wife is from Qiyang City, I accompanied her back to visit my mother-in-law, I just entered the city, and the guards at the city gate also checked our baggage."

"Don't you know, there is a war going on now, and the vigilance is a little stricter, otherwise how can the people in our city have the opportunity to live and work in peace and contentment, speaking of which, we have to thank the second prince, the second prince is amazing, forcing the enemy outside the city, we can still be so lively here."

"Little two, little two." A newly seated guest was calling out to him.

The little second smiled and said to Ling Ran: "Wait a minute, the guest officer will serve you food in a while, you came in a hurry, today it is the turn of Mr. Storyteller to come to the book, not much to say, I will go to entertain other guests first." ”

"Okay, you go get busy." Ling Ran approached Mu Huanyan and whispered, "It seems that this second prince has a high prestige among the people." ”

"Let's talk less, so as not to let others see the difference."

After a while, the food was delivered.

"Fill your stomach first, you haven't had a safe meal these days." Ling Ran sandwiched a few pieces of beef and put them in Mu Huanyan's bowl.

While eating, a storyteller came in front of the table of the teahouse, wearing a blue gown, with goat's whiskers, and a pair of small eyes in good order.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the people around him who were drinking tea cheered, which showed that he must be a very popular storyteller.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tian Shuo, and today I'll tell you about our second prince's march to war."

Hearing his name, Mu Huanyan thought of the vole and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Ran looked at her so happy.

Mu Huanyan lowered his voice and said, "Can you hear that the storyteller can't pronounce correctly, and Tian Shuo sounds like a vole." ”

"You, where did you go?"

"I think the reason why people are popular is probably because they are very young, who knows if he is really called a vole, or maybe he is said to make everyone happy."

"That's true, it hasn't started yet, it can make you laugh out loud, it's really a master."

Tian Shuo began to speak.

"You may not know that last year, the emperor sent an envoy to Sheng Guo to have friendly relations with Sheng Guo, but he didn't think that the daughter of a general in Sheng Guo actually smashed our country's treasure crystal nine rings, repeatedly humiliated the envoy, and used extraordinary means to ask for the three cities of Xiangguo. The emperor was furious and vowed to recapture the three lost cities, but he didn't expect that before we started to attack, the hateful Sheng Guo actually sent people to attack us. And the general sent is the father of the woman who smashed our Shengguo treasure that day, everyone says that it is hateful or hateful? ”

"It's hateful, it's so hateful!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Ling Ran said: "He is saying bad things about you, and he also reverses black and white, saying that we have taken away their three cities by extraordinary means, which is really hateful. ”

"Don't get in the way, let's continue to listen to him."

Ling Ran peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and the disputes between countries and the mouths of the people were completely changed.

Tian Shuo continued: "Hateful, not only do you feel hateful, I also feel hateful, of course, the emperor also feels hateful, so he sent troops to meet the enemy, the first battle was victorious, who knew that the enemy army was cunning, and then won several battles in a row, and finally, our mighty Quartet, known as the god of war, the second prince personally went into battle, and beat the general to the ground!" Thirty miles back! It's really happy, I believe that soon, our second prince will be able to take back the three cities we lost. ”

"The second prince is Chitose, the second prince is Chitose!"

The crowd cheered.

"However, at this critical moment, the emperor suddenly became unwell, and the second prince was worried about his father, so he had to leave the front line and return to the palace to visit his father."

Hearing this, Mu Huanyan and Ling Mo couldn't help but feel energetic, pricked up their ears, and continued to listen to the storyteller's explanation.

"These few days have given Sheng Guo a chance to breathe, the emperor is unwell, but he is still worried about the three cities, and now he has ordered the second prince to go to the front line and regain the lost territory as soon as possible to comfort the monarch's heart. Now, the second prince has gone to the position, and it is not easy to worry about the emperor's condition and the war. ”

Listening to it, Mu Huanyan felt that this Tian Shuo didn't have any strength, and what he said was just flattery, Tian Shuo continued to speak, but Mu Huanyan lowered his head and took a few sips of tea.

Although the book is not very good, it made Mu Huanyan get a news that Emperor Xiang was unwell.

"Ling Ran, let's change places."

"It's okay, I really think that this Tian Shuo has any strength, what he said is just some words of praise for merit, I don't like this kind of person the most!"

After settling the bill, the two left the teahouse.

On the way, Mu Huanyan said: "Emperor Xianghuang is unwell, this is good news." ”

"It's not that he fights, and his physical discomfort doesn't have much to do with the war."

"I have a hunch that this is a good thing for us." There was no more reliable news, and Mu Huanyan didn't want to tell Ling Ran what he thought in his heart, so as not to be overjoyed.

Ling Ranjian said, "Why don't we sneak into the Xiangguo Palace and find out the truth." ”

"No, the palace is heavily guarded, let alone going in, even if you go in, it's not easy to get out, your safety is the most important, there is a place you can go to."

"Where?"

Mu Huanyan leaned close to Ling Ran's ear and whispered, "Qinglou." ”

Ling Ran raised his eyebrows, "How can I go to that kind of place, no, I won't go." "He still has to guard his face like jade.

"Qinglou Teahouse, this kind of place with a lot of people, the mouth is the most miscellaneous, and it is easiest to find out the news, let's go to do business, and not let you go to have fun, anyway, only I know about this matter, and I will keep it secret for you." Mu Huanyan said very easily, and Ling Ran glared angrily.

"Are you sure you want to go to that kind of place?"

"Of course, let's go buy two sets of good clothes first, and then ask the inn, change our outfits, and move at night." Mu Huanyan was interested, walked faster, and looked for a tailor shop on the street.

If you want to be valued by others, you can't wear this civilian's clothes, so I spent a lot of money to buy two sets of clothes, and then I found an inn.

"Huan Yan, let's only act at night, you haven't slept well these days, good news, I'll call you again at night."

"You can also sleep for a while, so that you have the energy to visit the Qinglou."

"You!" Ling Ran blew his beard angrily and glared. (To be continued......)
