The third prince planned very carefully this time, he originally planned to control the entire Gyeonggi in his own hands, and then release the news after encroaching on some forces around Gyeonggi, even if Ling Qixuan rushed back, it would be useless.

His wishful thinking is good, but people are not as good as heaven, if it weren't for Lan Yunjuan and others who happened to rush back, I was afraid that his conspiracy would really succeed. The city gate is not open, Lan Yunjuan and the others cannot enter, but fortunately, there are their buddies in the city, sneaky, as long as they are careful, they finally spread the news in the city safely.

With just one glance, Lan Yunjuan understood the seriousness of this matter, he didn't know whether to report this matter to his master, and when he was hesitating, he happened to see Shopkeeper Lin walking down from the carriage.

After discussing with the two, they decided to pass the news on to the master, and as for how the master decides, it is not something they can intervene in. The note was taken away by the carrier pigeon, and they both sat down by the fire.

It was not a solution to be trapped outside the city all the time, and they, like the people who were desperate to enter the city, had been held back outside the city for two days. I received news from the pawnshop guy last night, and their shop was not affected, but the business was not as good as before, which is the most gratifying news so far.

It's just that there is another piece of news that is also worrying, as soon as the news of the death of the old man of Nanshan spread, the entire continent soon knew. With the departure of his old man, those who had two hearts before had to set up their own doors and no longer obey the orders of the young master. They even raised a banner, suspecting that the old man of Nanshan did not have any descendant disciples, and all this was just a play directed and acted by the young master.

I had expected that these people would change after the old master went to the immortals, so the shopkeeper Lin was in a hurry to rush back to preside over the overall situation on behalf of the young master, but they couldn't enter the city, so they didn't know what these people had done, and what the old master left for the young master, he had to keep it for the young master.

Thinking about it, there is only that way to go, but I don't know if the original path still exists after all these years, Lan Yunjuan thought in his heart. Before they met their masters, they were just beggars controlled by human traffickers in the city, and it was their task to change their ways to get money from these passers-by every day.

Sometimes, in order to fulfill the money demanded by the traffickers, they even steal, rob, and deviate, in short, they are proficient in cheating, and this road out of the city was also discovered by them when they followed a petty official, and then it became their secret base.

There have been a lot of rights and wrongs in Gyeonggi recently, and this time the city gate has not been opened for a long time, and some people with a keen sense of smell have begun to speculate whether there is something important "missing" in the palace like the last time the city was closed. No one knew the news of Ling Qixuan's departure from the city, and the people did not suspect that the lockdown was because someone wanted to usurp the throne.

The impatience of the people did not dare to act rashly because of the cold spears and bows and arrows in the hands of the officers and soldiers. They just gathered in twos and threes, looking for a shady place, waiting for when the city gate would open, and they would either return home to reunite with their families, or they would purchase goods to trade in Gyeonggi.

Complaints came from time to time, and Lan Yunjuan and they first slowly moved towards the sparsely populated place, and when there were no more people around, they slowly moved towards the secret passage in his memory under the leadership of Lan Yunjuan.

After all these years, his memory did not fade, and the winding path slowly coincided with the path in his mind, and he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, until he came to the foot of the city, and then hurried forward. There was a large patch of grass piled up here, and there was even a haystack in the middle.

A few people looked at the wind, and the blue clouds rolled to the edge of the barren haystack in the middle, first using the scabbard to pick aside some newly picked grass, and then pushing the whole stack of grass along the foot of the city to move some distance, when the hole behind the haystack gradually revealed its full appearance in front of everyone, they were all happy for a while.

The hole was not large, allowing only one person to pass through it, and they had to crawl on the ground, but it was enough for them. Blue Cloud Roll told them to wait outside, and he went first to investigate, and if it was safe, they would go in from here.

Taking advantage of Lan Yun's efforts to explore the road, the men under Shopkeeper Lin drove the carriage back to the place where they had temporarily rested, Song Fu Yin was very shrewd, if he missed their carriage for no reason, how could he not doubt the reason. If they startle the snake, it will not be conducive to their current actions.

This place was already remote, and the blue cloud scroll cautiously poked out of the city, and in front of him were some broken farm tools, and the wood had been so bad after years of sun and rain that it broke if it was broken at the slightest break. Lan Yunjuan cleaned these things aside, and probed the surrounding situation to make sure that there were no Song Mansion Yin's men and horses here, so he went to call them into the city.

Shopkeeper Lin and his party were waiting outside the city apprehensively, and when they saw the blue clouds rolling away and returning, their faces unconsciously showed joy. The quicker they moved, the better, and none of them had any objections, and one by one they crawled through the hole, and for a moment there was only the rustling of the fabric rubbing against the ground as they crawled.

This place is familiar to them, although so many years have passed, but the memory of begging when they were young is deeply ingrained in their minds, and they can't go far along the path, which is the place where they once lived. During those days, I tried all kinds of ways to get money, and I tried all kinds of ways to get money every day, and even did everything I could, just because they couldn't beg for the money demanded by the traffickers, and the pain of a meal was inevitable.

Seeing the familiar courtyard, as well as the old tree in the courtyard that was lush but grew crookedly out of the courtyard wall, Lan Yunjuan and several people looked at each other and smiled, showing a knowing smile.

The courtyard was the same as it had been when they were here, with moss on the walls and a thick layer of dust on the walled courtyard. The courtyard wall is not high, and if you jump lightly against the wall, you can see the scene in the courtyard. The inside does not look like it has been abandoned for a long time, and there is even a lock in the main house.

This situation made Lan Yun suspicious, and he gestured to the people behind him to wait for him outside. He reined in his movements and slowly approached the main house. Vigilantly probing the entire compound, but finding no trace of anyone, the situation was even more suspicious than he expected.

A large area of wild grass rose in front of the house in the middle, and the winter slaughter made them lose their vitality, and Lan Yunjuan lowered his head to observe carefully, there were human footprints on these wild grasses, although they were only half of them, but they were enough to make him vigilant.

He clenched the sword in his hand for the moment, followed the tracks, and disappeared without a trace in front of the main house. A thin layer of ash had fallen on the lock, which looked to be some years old, and he moved to the window, where the two windows, though as dilapidated as the courtyard, still hung intact.

By daylight he could see the inside of the house, the tables and chairs were incomplete, the tables were tilted, one side of the table was on the ground, and even the chairs were placed in such a way that he would not have doubted if he had not seen the previous footprints.

Lan Yunjuan turned around and went back and carefully told Shopkeeper Lin about the situation here, wanting to hear what he thought. Shopkeeper Lin's shrewd eyes flashed, and he asked Lan Yunjuan to take him over to take a look first, while the rest of the people remained in place.

The two of them did not break the state of the door and window, but chose another place. Blue Cloud Roll jumped onto the roof with Shopkeeper Lin, there was a big hole in the roof, and the cold wind poured into it from here, and there was a faint whistling sound.

The two of them fell down cautiously, and before they could stand still, the scene in front of them made the two of them break out in a cold sweat. The two looked at each other, and they both saw the happiness in each other's eyes, fortunately they did not enter through the main entrance, there was a very thin silver wire behind the two door panels, and there was no clue from the outside, but if someone tried to push the door open, they were afraid that they would be shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

The filaments tied to the back of the door connected the broken windows on both sides, and anyone who tried to get in from here would fall into a trap. This place must be unusual, the two of them did not dare to act rashly, standing there first looking around, and then probing the place where they fell, cold sweat instantly crawling all over their backs.

They also made a mistake and chose the only way. Blue Cloud Roll was still wondering before, why the footprints dispersed when they reached the outside of the house, presumably when they came here, they also came down from the roof, no wonder they didn't patch the holes in the roof, who would have thought that there was another hole in the dilapidated house that seemed to have been vacant for a long time?

The staggered loopholes on the ridge of the roof are lined up in an orderly manner with a row of short daggers exuding a cold glow, and on the opposite side are bows and arrows that are already on the string, all facing the direction of the doorway, and where they can only be seen with the naked eye, there are dozens of mechanisms, and I don't know how many mechanisms are hidden in the secret.

If it weren't for the two of them being cautious, I am afraid it would be difficult to survive from such an arrangement, and I don't know what this seemingly dilapidated house is for, so it is troublesome to arrange such a cautious mechanism. As long as someone tries to break in, the movement here will not be small, and the person who arranged the mechanism will be easy to know as long as he is in Gyeonggi.

In this way, the person who placed such an arrangement must not be far from here, otherwise he would not have been able to detect the movement here in time. In order to reassure the people waiting outside, they decided to get out of here first, get them all in place, and then come here to find out.

Their fears were justified, and the rest of the people waited outside, only thinking that a second was as long as a century, and they could hardly refrain from coming to see if something had happened to them, but they had to wait outside for fear of disrupting their plans. Seeing them come out of it safe and sound, their hanging hearts relaxed.
