"Bump!" The old wooden door was very fragile, Liu Nianru pushed it gently, but she didn't expect the door to break directly.

The door fell to the ground and made a very violent noise, thanks to the fact that this place is often haunted and no one comes, otherwise Liu Nianru would have been found and arrested by now.

"Ahem." Because no one comes all year round, the dust here is also covered with layers of dust.

As soon as the wooden door arrived, a lot of dust rose on the ground, and Liu Nianru stretched out her hand to try to shake the dust away, but found that it was just useless, because there was too much dust.

Liu Nianru had to take a few steps back, and wait for the dust to clear before moving in.

After a long time, the dust finally calmed down.

Liu Nianru raised her feet and walked in, judging from the thickness of the dust on the door, it was obvious that there were traces of people walking here recently. I just don't know how this man handled this fragile wooden door, and he didn't break it.

There is also a shallow trail of dragging, this trace has been around for some days, it seems that Duan Bailan's people have indeed been arrested, and the situation is very bad.

Liu Nianru followed the footprints and walked inside, but she didn't expect the footprints to disappear suddenly after turning a corner.

Liu Nianru frowned, why is it gone?

Could it be ...... There's a trap here?

Thinking of this, Liu Nianru looked at all the surrounding scenes, and suddenly, Liu Nianru found that a painting on the wall next to her was very clean.

There was nothing surprising in the first place, but in such a dirty and messy environment, a very clean thing is very eye-catching.

Liu Nianru hooked her lips and took down the painting, and sure enough, there was a secret door behind the painting.

If you don't look closely, you really can't see it.

Liu Nianru easily opened the secret door, raised her feet and walked inside.

……

Walking through the dark corridor, it is obvious that many things here have not been built for a long time.

It seems that he did it after he came.

Sure enough, there was a cell at the end, and there was a man lying in it, who was not known for life or death.

I don't know if it's because of arrogance, the door of the cell was not locked, Liu Nianru easily went in and helped the person up.

Pale complexion.

Looks like he's lost a lot of blood.

Liu Nianru really didn't know anything about medical skills, so she could only carry this person to the medical hall first before making plans.

……

Xiao Heng's side.

He had been escorting grain and grass for a while, and he had long been out of the range of the Jingshi, and at this moment, a bunch of people and horses were walking in the wilderness.

The flags were blazing and the wind was strong.

"Stop!" Out of nowhere, a pair of centaurs, armed with large knives, blocked their way.

"Who are you?" Xiao Heng, as the one who led the way, naturally wanted to stand up and speak at this moment.

"Heh......" The man in black who led the way on the opposite side just sneered and didn't speak.

"If you know each other, put down your things and walk away, otherwise you will wait for the people and goods to die together!"

Xiao Heng hooked the corners of his lips, completely without the anxiety of those behind him like facing the enemy.

He had known something for a long time and how anxious he was

This?

The man in black on the opposite side saw that Xiao Heng did not move, and rushed over with a knife with a sneer.

……

Liu Nianru's side.

"Doctor, help me see how he's doing." Liu Nianru carried Duan Bailan's people to the medical hall.

The doctor took the man's wrist and closed his eyes, only to open them for a moment.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've had a lot of trauma, and it's okay to rest for a while." The doctor said.

Liu Nianru followed the doctor to the table on the side and watched the doctor write the prescription.

"Doctor, when will he wake up?" Liu Nianru asked, this is related to her own plans.

"Well, if nothing else, you'll wake up in a while." The doctor said.

"Okay, thank you, doctor." Liu Nianru smiled, settled the account, and then followed the doctor to grab the medicine.

When Liu Nianru came back from decoctioning the medicine, the person lying on the bed had already woken up.

His eyes were confused, and he didn't have the slightest look.

Seeing Liu Nianru, those eyes slowly focused.

Liu Nianru helped him up and leaned on the back of the bed.

"Awake? Let's drink the medicine first. Liu Nianru saw that his lips were still white, and handed him the medicine cup.

"Thank you, Miss Liu." The man took the bowl and drank the medicine obediently.

After a while, the bowl of medicine bottomed out.

Liu Nianru put the bowl next to him, and as soon as she sat back, she listened to him speak.

"I'm Lin Ze, a subordinate of Lord Duan, he sent me over to take over Yaocheng because he trusted me, but ...... But I have failed to live up to the trust of the prince. Lin Ze said, it is not difficult to see his self-blame.

"It's okay." Liu Nianru said, "He won't blame you. Tell me what happened. ”

"Okay." Lin Ze should arrive, and then there was a brief silence, Lin Ze should be organizing the language.

"After you left that day, I was taking over the work of the original city lord, and I was busy for a day, and when I returned to the city lord's mansion, there was a person hidden in my house, who knocked him unconscious and brought him to the place where you saw me today."

"He didn't kill me, he was observing me, and the next day, when he came, I found him wearing the exact same mask as me."

Liu Nianru frowned, what are you trying to do? Imitate Lin Ze and go behind enemy lines?

"Later, he began to torture me, and at first he came every day, except to observe me, and he treated me harshly."

"When he got acquainted with my behavior patterns, I really felt that it was another me, and he was imitating it too much."

"Then he basically came once a week, just to see if I was dead or not."

"I actually tried to escape, but I couldn't get out of that place at all, and the cell door was locked at first, but then it opened, but at that time, I didn't have the strength to get out."

Listening to Lin Ze's story, Liu Nianru felt a little big, this emperor is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Liu Nianru also told Lin Ze about the situation in Frontier City, and the two discussed how to regain the position of city lord.

Liu Nianru's idea is very simple, since he wants to replace you, how good it would be to just kill him with a knife, so that no one has found out yet, and if the emperor's people come, Lin Ze will be okay to send a message or something.

It's called ...... Mission Impossible?

Lin Ze also agreed, and then the two discussed the plan, in fact, Lin Ze told Liu Nianru some of his habits, and then Liu Nianru saw if he could use these habits to deal with the fake city lord.

"There will definitely be no one to follow him when he returns to the room, so we might as well go and wait in the City Lord's Mansion." Lin Zedao.

Liu Nianru nodded, "Then you wait here, and when the matter is done, I will come to you." ”
