Li Shiyi was already more than ten days late when he set off, and what he had to do was different from the pheasant slave, so when the pheasant slave was about to enter the Song realm, he took the talent to arrive at Ruyang County, where the Runing Mansion under the rule of the Yuan people was located, which was the frontline of the Yuan people, across the Huaishui and the Huainan West Road under the rule of the Song people.

From here down to Xiangyang Mansion, up to Kaifeng, the provincial station, and the distance from Guide Mansion, which threatened the Huaidong side of the Song people, was almost far away, thus becoming an important transit hub, according to the statistics of the spies who stayed in this area, the total number of troops who continued to gather here has exceeded 100,000 people, most of them came from the various jurisdictions of Zhongshu Province, and the local soldiers and horses in Henan were transferred to Xiangyang and Ezhou.

"Are the people still there?" Facing the two men who had been waiting for a long time, Li Shiyi did not dismount, but tightened the reins in his hands, causing the mount to slow down and just stop beside them.

"Here, the little ones saw with their own eyes that his shop was closed, and he went back to his house in the city, leaving three men at the end of the shop." One of his subordinates stepped forward and reported in Li Shiyi's lowered ear.

"Lead the way, go to his house." Li Shiyi diǎndiǎn headed, sat up straight on the horse, waved the whip in his hand and pointed ahead.

"The shopkeeper is unpredictable, so it's better to let the little ones test a thing or two, and then make a decision based on the situation."

The subordinates were a little hesitant, Li Shiyi understood his worries, this is the place where the Yuan people gathered, and if they didn't do much, they would fall into the encirclement, and time had passed too long, and no one was sure what choice that person would make.

"You don't understand, before it was confirmed, he was my predecessor, worthy of everyone's admiration, aren't your people staring, what movement can escape?" However, Li Shiyi seemed determined to go on his own journey, and paid no attention to the caution of his men, and since he could not be persuaded to do so, his men could only do as ordered, and he mounted his horse to lead the way, while the other companion accelerated ahead of them, and disappeared at the end of the street in a short time.

In a place like this where large armies gather, the night ban is naturally more strictly enforced than elsewhere, although they are all dressed as Han soldiers, and they will inevitably be checked from time to time, in order to avoid startling the snake, Li Shiyi and the others have sped up, and almost at nightfall, they rushed to the front of the house that their subordinates said.

"Knock on the door and send this into the "∧ dǐng" ∧diǎn "∧ small" ∧ said,.. ◎os_(); Go. ”

Li Shiyi got off his horse and looked around, this is a big mansion located in the east of the city, most of the people who live in this position chosen by the other party are merchants, who belong to the residence of rich but not powerful dignitaries, seeing that their team of Han troops entered the workshop, they were all closed, and no one thought about watching the excitement.

A sergeant stepped forward and knocked a few times, and immediately someone opened half of the black door from the inside, stretched out his head to look at it, and looked at the sergeant hesitantly, but did not dare to open the door wide.

"Is there something wrong with this military master?" It looks like he is the steward of the house, and he speaks cautiously, for fear of angering the other party.

"Your master's surname is Yong?" The sergeant glanced through the crack in the door, and the steward was followed by two servants, not holding a guy in their hands.

"I'm sorry, my master's surname is Qin, not what you said Yong, if the military master is looking for someone, you might as well go to other houses to inquire, if there is any inconvenience, the small one can also guide the way, people in this area dare not say that they all know, most of them still know." When the steward heard that the surname was wrong, he immediately relieved himself.

"The surname Qin is right, you give this to your master, and he will understand after reading it." The sergeant listened to him, took out a letter, and handed it over.

The steward took it and took a look, and the words "The master of the Qin Mansion personally opened" were clearly written on the cover, and said in his heart, aren't you playing with me? He pretended to admit the wrong person, and said no to it, but even so, he still respectfully called him "offended" and asked him to sit inside.

"No need, I'm just waiting here, if there's news, hurry up, it's not early." The sergeant was also strange, and sat down directly on the steps, never looking at the steward again.

Such a headless letter, I don't know if it's evil or lucky, the steward doesn't dare to slack off, and walks quickly towards the backyard, he knows this diǎn, his own master will definitely be in the study, and sure enough, through the small garden connecting the front and back yards, the lights in the study have been turned on.

"Come in."

After the report, a voice came from inside, the steward opened the door and walked in, a middle-aged man in front of the bookcase raised his head and glanced at him, and lowered his head to continue to write something, the steward was a little anxious, but he also knew the habits of the housekeeper, and did not dare to interrupt him.

"Tell me, who?" The middle-aged man was very rich, not very tall, wearing a satin gown, no crown, and a bun on his head, he put down his pen and looked at the manager's cramped appearance and asked.

"A small colonel of the Han Army, looking at the color of the uniform, is a hundred households, and the small ones dare not specialize, so they can only come to report it." The steward arched his hand and told everything he had seen before.

100 households in the Han army? The middle-aged man frowned, these businessmen, they are usually most afraid of those rough men outside the city, although the military discipline of the old man who participates in politics in the town is very strict, and generally no sergeant will openly make trouble in the city, but on weekdays, there are also small conflicts such as taking diǎn things, eating and drinking for nothing, etc., so late? The middle-aged man looked up at the window, what could it be?

"This person is also quite interesting, he knows that my master's surname is Qin, but he still wants to deceive each other, what to say to find a person surnamed Yong, and when the little one tells the truth, he changed his mouth again, and ordered the little one to submit a letter, do you want to take a look at it? After the housekeeper finished speaking, he took out the letter and was about to hand it over, but he didn't expect that no one would pick it up for a long time, he looked up in surprise, and the middle-aged man stood there in a daze, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he didn't hear his words clearly.

"Oh, what kind of letter are you talking about, where is it, take it and see so." After shouting a few times, the middle-aged man came back to his senses, urging again and again, completely losing his previous calm, but confused the person in charge, could it be that the sergeant is really someone from this mansion?

The inside of the envelope was just a thin piece of paper, and the middle-aged man seemed to be trembling with his fingers when he picked it up, and he took a deep breath before unfolding it, as if this paper had a lot of magic. The steward peeked from behind the paper, and there were only seven words written on it, like a poem, and what surprised him even more was that when the middle-aged man saw these words, his face became pale, even stronger than Fang Cai.

"Where are the people? Take so-and-so with you. After a while, the middle-aged man came back to his senses, and he anxiously grabbed the butler's shoulder, and asked excitedly.

"At the door, don't be in a hurry, the small one will lead the way."

It took less time to get out of the study than it took to come in, because the steward found that he had already used it and ran away, but he still fell behind the middle-aged man, what kind of person could this sergeant be, so that the usually calm master was so excited, he unconsciously became curious.

"Dare to ask, but look for so-and-so?" Without being introduced, the middle-aged man said directly to the sergeant, there was only one stranger in front of the door, of course, it was impossible to admit the mistake.

"You are Mr. Qin? My host will be there soon, please wait. The sergeant, who was sitting on the steps with his back to the gate, heard someone asking, stood up, turned around and looked up and down at the visitor, and said calmly.

This is faster than the middle-aged man imagined, because the person came from the opposite street, and the group of more than ten people were all dressed as Han soldiers, and the leader was dressed as a businessman like him, and he looked like he was in his thirties, but his eyes were extremely sharp, which was all practiced by spies to observe the enemy's situation.

"Fortunately, under the surname Li, can you take a step to speak." Li Shiyi didn't have the time to talk to him at the door, so he walked in along the open gate, and their horses were left on the opposite side, watched by the two sergeants, who by the way used to look out for the wind.

"Where, please." The middle-aged man's face was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he thought about it and didn't take them to the living room, but went directly through the garden into the study in the backyard.

"Lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, sir, please."

"Iron Horse Binghe fell into a dream. Who are you? ”

Li Shiyi chanted out the seven words in the envelope, and the middle-aged man matched the second half of the sentence, similar to the joint code of later generations, but only the two parties knew that the other party had waited for twenty years for this code.

"The identity of a certain is inconvenient to say, the original surname of the foot is Yong, the name is Qin, Baoyou went out of Beijing in May of the third year as the staff of the Ministry of War, Huaibei Tigou on official business, and the last time the news was sent back was in July of the sixth year of Jingding, is a certain right?" Li Shiyi recited the information in his memory, these materials were handed over to him by Liu Yu before, and when he went north, he was not available because he had to escort Liu Yu and his party, and now that the matter is over, he slowly began to sort out the people on these materials.

Like the person in front of him, most of the people have been sent for more than ten years, in order to disguise their identity, not only do they have their own livelihoods, but even the family house is readily available, this person marries a wife and has children, needless to say, the concubines have several rooms, and the population of this house is more than 30, so how much public heart will this person have? Only he knows.

"Your Excellency doesn't mention it, I have forgotten what year I came here, Yongqin Yongqin is rare for someone to mention this name, do the princes in the court still remember that thousands of miles away, there is such a person in the enemy country who is working for the Great Song Dynasty?"

"Others don't know that a certain master will never forget it, he once said that everyone who fights in the dark is a hero of the country."

Li Shiyi spoke in the vernacular, but it resonated so well in the ears of middle-aged people, these people gave up their families and careers, and lived incognito, aren't they just walking in the dark, heroes! The middle-aged man suddenly became excited.

"Who is your master?"

"Zhongshu Sheren, Longtu Pavilion waiter Liu Ziqing." Li Shiyi replied solemnly.

"The prayer that is bent on danger is making Liu Ziqing?" The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Exactly."

Li Shiyi replied with a head of the jaw, no official title is as loud as the actual performance, in the north, I am afraid that Liu Yu's reputation will be greater than that of the political hall, all thanks to the previous propaganda, and they also have a share of the credit of these dark warriors.

"What do you mean by coming?" The middle-aged man sighed for a while and asked.

"The situation doesn't need to be said, inside and outside the city are in your eyes, what will they do in the future, you must also know, the Great Song Dynasty has reached the critical point of life and death, we need every strength, not necessarily to go into battle to kill the enemy."
