Volume 1 Chapter 37 The inn caught fire
"Your Highness, the princess has arrived."
On the third floor of the restaurant opposite Bangyue Building, Xu Xiang was dressed in brocade clothes and looked at Jiang Shenyu who got off the carriage, feeling a little apprehensive.
The plan to escape from Linzi this time had been formulated before the ring competition. Judging from the situation in the past few days, everything is going well, and whether you can successfully escape depends on now.
"Still haven't found any trace of Jiang Fu?" Xu Xiang said worriedly.
"I haven't found it for the time being, maybe it's hidden in the crowd, right?" Yang Dianfeng also said with some uncertainty.
"If he doesn't show up, then my plan will be in vain!"
If this plan is not successful, Donghai will probably not only send a few people to keep an eye on him, and there will be no chance to leave at that time.
"The subordinates think that the Hou Mansion has repeatedly sent killers to you, and he already hates you to the core, and now that the great opportunity is in front of him, he has no reason not to seize it."
"What if he just wants the drawings and is obscene?"
Yang Dianfeng showed a puzzled expression and asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, what is obscene development?" ”
"Uh...... No matter what, everything that should be prepared is ready! Old Yang, you can go now. Xu Xiang held the jade pendant in his hand tightly, and silently cheered himself in his heart.
"Then the subordinates will go outside the city to wait for you and the princess!"
"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”
Although there was no rain today, the weather was not too good, and the sun above the sky was often covered by dark clouds, but it sneaked away.
The sun shone on the sundial (pronounced guǐ, an instrument used to observe the sun's shadow and set the time), and the pointer fell to the third quarter of the hour, and Xu Xiang came to the door of the Bangyue Tower.
The carriage that sent Jiang Shenyu had left, and Jing'er and Jiang Shenyu had already arrived in Bangyue Tower.
He looked around, trying to search for Jiang Fu's figure.
But Jiang Fu and the soldiers were hiding in a private house, looking at Bangyue Tower through the curtain, how could he easily find out?
Jiang Fu, who was holding a long knife, frowned, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Why did Shen Yu and Xu Changsha appear here at the same time?" Did they run so far when they met? ”
"Shadow Nine, since Xu Changsha appeared here, Shadow Seven and Shadow Eight are nearby. You find them as soon as possible and ask why Xu Changsha is here? Jiang Xiang came over this time to catch the person who stole the drawings and the secret spies of other countries, and he couldn't help but wonder if Xu Xiang also got the news?
"Yes!" Shadow Nine responds and leaves.
Time passed bit by bit, and it had been a long time since Jiang Shenyu and Xu Xiang went in, but they did not come out.
If you just come over for dinner, it won't take so long, and it's already past lunchtime, and there are still two hours left for dinner.
Jiang Xiang couldn't help but be even more convinced that Xu Xiang had obtained the information that someone would trade drawings here.
At this moment, there was a movement, and Shadow Nine came to him with Shadow Seven.
"Your Highness! The subordinate brought Shadow Seven over. ”
The two knelt down in front of Jiang Fu and saluted, Jiang Cheng saw that the time was about to reach Shen Shi, and wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible, so he didn't pay attention to etiquette anymore. Directly said: "Get up!" Shadow Seven, why did Xu Changsha appear here? ”
Ying Qi had been following Xu Xiang all along, and naturally he didn't know about the capture of the map thief and the secret spy, so he replied: "My subordinates don't know!" ”
"I don't know?" Jiang Fu was a little angry, "What are you and Yingba eating, Xu Changsha doesn't know what to do here?" ”
"......" Ying Qi was silent, and complained a little in his heart: "I secretly follow him every day, and I can't communicate verbally, can I know what he wants to do?" Could it be that His Royal Highness Xu Er went to a place, and he had to figure out what he was doing there first? ”
"What's unusual about Xu Changsha today? Have you ever met any strangers? Jiang Cheng changed his mind and asked again.
"If you go back to Your Highness, everything is as usual today, but when His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Beimeng left Linzi, His Royal Highness Xu Er went down to see him off." Ying Qi hurriedly said.
"Send Mu Jun?" The mystery in Jiang Xiang's heart rose, Xu Xiang and Mu Jun can be described as hostile sides, to say that Xu Xiang would send Mu Jun, this really doesn't make sense!
Ying Qi nodded and continued: "Originally, the people of Beimeng ignored him at first, but he insisted on meeting with the third prince of Beimeng. Later, the two talked on the side for a while, and as for what they said, no one knew, but when the third prince of Beimeng left, his face was very unsightly. ”
"Xu Changsha, Xu Changsha, what are you doing?" Jiang Fu almost went berserk.
"Your Highness, could it be that Xu Changsha already knows, and someone will trade drawings here in Shenshi. And then come over and see what's going on? Ying Jiu said tentatively.
"Your Highness, someone has entered!" At this moment, the team of the Imperial Martial Arts Battalion, who had been staring at Bangyue Tower, spoke.
Jiang Fu hurriedly approached the curtain hole and saw a noblely dressed man walking in, but Jiang Fu could see at a glance that this person's steps and movements were a little obscene. Ordinary aristocrats vaguely exude the temperament of a superior person, and their steps will never be so obscene.
It is clear that this man must not be a nobleman. Just dressed in the gorgeous costume of a nobleman, deliberately dressed as a nobleman.
"There's something wrong with this guy!" At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and Jiang Wei immediately guessed that this person was either a buyer or a seller.
"Your Highness, do you want to act?" The team asked, seeing that someone had already walked in.
"Don't worry! Look at it for a while! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the soldiers were alert, and their hands lightly pressed the hilt of their swords. Jiang Fu was also vigilant, they were hiding in this private house, they were already very careful, he stared at the door, and glanced at Ying Jiu.
Ying Jiu understood, walked to the door lightly, and asked, "Who?" ”
A voice came from outside the door: "Brother Wang, it's me!" ”
Jiang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, he could hear that this voice was the second brother Jiang Zhe.
The door opened, and Jiang Zhe walked in.
"Didn't the second brother go to track down the missing guard and the blacksmith Lu from the blacksmith shop? How did you get here? Jiang Fu asked.
"Brother Wang, I've found that guard!" Jiang Zhe opened his mouth and said, "That guard is hiding in a courtyard in Beicheng, that place is very secret, and it took a lot of effort for my brother to find it. ”
"Oh?" Jiang Fu bowed slightly, "Since the guard has been caught, why didn't the second brother interrogate him more, but came to Brother Wei instead?" ”
"That person's identity has been found out, and he is inextricably linked to Suihou Mansion. When my father found out, he asked me to come over and tell Brother Wang that if I found that the person involved was from the Suihou Mansion, I should be cautious. ”
Jiang Fu frowned, he didn't expect that this matter would actually involve the Suihou Mansion.
"Brother Wang, before I came, I checked around. Guess what I found? Jiang Zhe continued.
"What?"
"The fish shop opposite Bangyue Building found Suihou Nangong Sui and his son Nangong Que."
"You mean Suihou is nearby?" Jiang Fu's eyes looked in the direction of the fish food shop, all this is too coincidental, right?
"Brother Wang also thinks it's a bit of a coincidence?" Jiang Zhe said, "I just caught that guard here, and I found someone from Suihou Mansion at the trading site." ”
"What a coincidence!" A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Jiang Fu's mouth.
Now he already felt that the doubts just now were not important, and he would know the truth immediately anyway.
He smiled coldly, "Xu Changsha, Shen Yu, Suihou, picture thief, secret spy." It is not a coincidence that so many people gather in Bangyue Tower, but Prince Ben wants to see what can happen today! ”
"Then what are Brother Wang's plans?" Jiang Zhe asked.
"Second brother, how many people have you brought?"
"I only brought more than a dozen people, what's wrong?"
"Good! I will give you fifty people, and you will take these sixty people to secretly surround the fish food shop and watch the retinue. Linyu food shop is opposite Bangyue Building, and on the second floor, you can have an unobstructed view of the situation of Bangyue Building. If I rush into Bangyue Tower to arrest people, and if Sui Hou wants to sneak away, I will take it directly! ”
"Take it directly? This is a little inappropriate, Sui Hou is a Hou master after all......" Jiang Zhe said hesitantly.
"Just because he is the Hou Ye, as the so-called thief needs to take the stolen goods, if he slips away, what if he finds out that the person who is trading inside is related to him, how about he flatly denies that he is not at the scene? When the time comes, we will have no evidence and no way to help him! ”
When Jiang Fu and Jiang Zhe were discussing their next actions, they suddenly heard several shouts: "It's water!" Walk the water! ”
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came, only to see smoke coming from Bangyue Tower, and a raging fire ignited after a while!
Jiang Fu's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Sinking fish!! Ying Jiu, immediately take someone to Bangyue Tower to save people, and you must rescue Shen Yu and Xu Changsha! The others, follow me to quickly surround the Bangyue Tower, and no one will be allowed to escape! ”
"Yes!"
