"I know that the brethren are well-behaved. But, I still have to go. That Gu An is not a stupid person. He might have guessed that this time the prince invited him to Guangxin for a Hongmen banquet, maybe he was prepared in private. He is upright, and if the prince really makes a move on him, he is very likely to fight to the death. I'm worried about Gu An's safety, and I'm even more worried..."Jiang Chengjia paused, forced to feel deeply uneasy in her heart, she still couldn't help but follow Ning Nan behind her, wanting to protect him.

Qian Shan fell silent, she knew that as long as Jiang Chengjia made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change it.

"If the girl insists on going... and promised Qianshan about it. In the end, Qianshan could only compromise, but at the same time put forward her own requirements, "No matter when, the girl needs to put herself first." ”

Jiang Chengjia knew what she was worried about, and said helplessly: "I may not be able to do this, but I will try my best to do it." ”

Speaking of which, Qianshan also knew that it was useless for her to persuade anything, so she said: "In this way, the girl has a good rest now, and it will be two moments... As soon as the prince leaves the house, I will bring someone over. ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded.

The pouring rain outside the house stopped at some point, and Qian Shan hurriedly left the north courtyard with a wet coat and an umbrella. Jiang Chengjia stood in front of the door staring at the sky that had completely darkened in a daze, the cool breeze after the rain poured in, she shivered coldly, hugged herself into a ball and quickly hid in the house.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the grass after the rain is gradually noisy, and the golden cicadas are crying in the old trees in the courtyard. The hot, humid air was unpleasant.

Later, the streets of Linhe were empty, and the night patrol officials dangled from the city gate to the streets, holding a gong and a wooden hammer in their hands, only to hear a crisp sound of "dong", and the little officials shouted absentmindedly: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candle." ”

Two lanterns were lit in front of the Command Mansion, located on the east side of Saltwater Lane, and someone quietly walked out of it.

The man was holding an umbrella in his hand, and his face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, except that the dark clothes on his body were a little more obvious than the night.

In the stable not far away, someone led a horse and slowly walked towards the man in Xuanyi.

In the moonlight, the man's shadow was stretched for a long time.

"The city gate has been opened, and the lord should be careful all the way." Listening to the voice, he is a slightly old, a capable middle-aged man.

"I see. In the few days I was away, I asked Uncle Ji to take good care of my mother. The man stepped out of the darkness, and the moonlight shone on his face, setting off his high nose, and his deep black eyes revealed a sense of sharpness.

"Master, are you sure you won't let the slave go with you?" Ji Xianzhi hesitated twice, and finally asked.

"There is not only a mother in the house, but also Sister Jun and... Jiang Female. Ning Nan said that Jiang Chengjia paused, "Be sure to keep an eye on her." ”

"Whoa."

Listening to Ji Xianzhi's response, Ning Nan was worried about boarding the stirrup, jumped up, and then rode away from the command mansion.

At this time, according to what Jiang Chengjia told her beforehand, Qianshan took advantage of the fact that the Jing Inspector was guarding the most void, and brought a woman into the North Courtyard.

Jiang Chengjia had already changed into night clothes, sorted out his bags, sat in the house and waited for Qianshan to come over.

Inside the house, two oil lamps were lit.

Qian Shan entered the house, and behind her stood a woman wearing a black cloak and a hat.

"The subordinate Tieyi has seen the pavilion master." The woman saluted before taking off her hat, and in the dim candlelight, her delicate face was revealed in front of Jiang Chengjia.

The iron cloak had long since changed into her appearance, and now stood shoulder to shoulder with her, as if carved out of a mold.

Jiang Chengjia stared at this face that was exactly the same as his own, nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "The prince is not here, and your disguise in the command mansion should not be exposed." However, there are two people who need you to be careful, one is Ji Xianzhi, and the other is the Xiang lady Li Xiangjun. These two are probably going to stare at your mistakes. ”

The woman on the other side, who was the same height and shape as her, immediately responded solemnly: "My subordinates understand." ”

Jiang Chengjia hummed in a low voice, and when everything was arranged in the mansion, she carried her burden, put on a black gauze hat, jumped out of the back window of the north courtyard, and quickly climbed up the back wall and climbed out of the command mansion. Qian Shan followed closely, and the master and servant flew up the city wall one after the other, carefully bypassing the city guards who were patrolling the platoon, and finally got out of the city at the opportunity, and ran all the way to the Zhuangzi outside the city.

At the side of the horse farm not far from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Linhe, there was already a gray-haired old man waiting there.

Jiang Chengjia stopped behind the old tree on the side of the road, and saw the old man looking in the direction of the city gate from time to time, so he stepped forward with Qian Shan and came to the old man's side. Qi Yan reads

"Sir, may I ask you about it?" A gentle and soft inquiry came, and the old man looked up and saw a woman in a pitch-black long dress and a black gauze hat standing in front of him, followed by a woman in the same costume.

The old man immediately raised his spirit and asked, "I don't know what you want to ask?" ”

Jiang Chengjia replied: "Ask about the meeting." ”

The old man immediately asked: "The meeting is wide, can the girl be more specific?" ”

"Sir, do you know about the Yue Wang Temple?"

The old man immediately understood something, bowed down to Jiang Chengjia and said, "The old man happens to know, please be among the guests." ”

Jiang Chengjia bowed slightly, and walked quickly towards the racecourse.

The old man followed, and when he closed the fence of the racecourse, he looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, and then he hurried inside.

"See the Pavilion Master." The old man entered the field and immediately saluted Jiang Chengjia, who was facing away from him.

She turned around, hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said politely: "No need to be polite." My hours are short, and I can't stay long. ”

The old man immediately understood what he meant, and walked out with two black sideburns and brown horses from a compartment in the horse farm.

Jiang Chengjia and Qianshan respectively led the horse rope, and the old man hurriedly led them to another trail, and carefully advised: "This path is not an official road, and there are no bandits entrenched, the pavilion master can reach Cangwu in about three days from here, and someone will lead the pavilion master to Guangxin County." ”

She nodded gently at the old man and said, "It's hard to drive." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chengjia immediately turned over and got on the horse, snorted, and rushed out with a whip. Qianshan jumped on her feet and chased after her.

The old man guarded the horse farm, stretched his neck, and looked at the two dusty figures riding out, showing respect.

The master and servant rushed all the way to Cangwu, as the old man expected, someone waited in Cangwu to guide them to Guangxin, and on the third day and night, they finally arrived at Guangxin, the county town of Cangwu, and the arrival time coincided with the eve of the city gate locked. The two hurried into the city, and the two horses were tired enough, and they followed their master listlessly step by step.

The Great Wei Dynasty was full of private real estate purchased by the Water Pavilion, half of which was used for business and half for the Thousand Machines to inquire about news and expand its influence. Qianshan read and learned the address of the house that the Water Pavilion had purchased in Guangxin before coming, so she took Jiang Chengjia all the way to find it, and then found the lord of the person in charge of the four rudders of the Water Pavilion in Guangxin City, and did not really rest until three o'clock in the hour.

An ordinary house in Dongfeng Lane is full of people at the moment, all of whom are the spies planted in Guangxin by Qianji and the guards of Shang Wuxing who are on standby here.

The water pavilion is divided into four rudders, two rudders in the bright place and two rudders in the dark place. They are the Thousand Machine Office, Fengyue Building, Shangwu Xing, and Tangye Terrace.

The Thousand Machines Division is led by the breeze and is in charge of recording the affairs of the world; Tangye Terrace is led by Fang Si and masters the essence of the business between the Water Pavilion and the outside world. The water pavilion is stationed in the world, and it is famous for these two rudders, and the two people who call the fourth uncle of the water pavilion are important figures in the contact between the water pavilion and the outside world.

Shang Wuxing, on the other hand, is led by Candle Shadow and is in charge of the training and deployment of all the guards in the cabinet; Fengyue Tower is led by Yan Ji, in charge of women, and is good at disguise and charm to listen to the world's strange news, and the iron clothes that replace Jiang Chengjia are from the Fengyue Tower under the control of Yan Ji. Similarly, because of the protection of these two rudders in the dark, the Water Pavilion can stand in the rivers and lakes so far.

The power of the water pavilion is all over the world, divided by the county as the standard, the person who leads the four rudders under the county town is called the lord, and the person who leads the four rudders under the county town is called the lord. The commanders above the lords and lords in various places are the four of Wind, Fang Si, Candle Shadow and Yan Ji.

Xue Qing, Xue Bi and Qian Shan, as the personal guards of Jiang Chengjia and Jiang Chengyi, ignored the affairs of the pavilion and directly obeyed the orders of the pavilion master and the son.

The lord in charge of these people in Guangxin was a short, one-eyed young man, and he was in high spirits tonight, and he was naturally ecstatic to finally see the pavilion master he had in mind.

However, Jiang Chengjia changed her appearance and turned into an ordinary-looking girl, wearing a hat all the time. The one-eyed boy longed to see him as he really was, but he couldn't.

At this moment, in the inner hall of this house, there are three people sitting quietly, and a group of people in the outer hall are waiting anxiously. They were all curious about why the Pavilion Master would come to this cold place this time.

"What are you calling for?"

The inner hall was quiet, and Jiang Chengjiaxun sat in the main seat, asking the one-eyed young man in a calm voice.

The young man seemed to be very excited, straightened up, and saluted the woman in the main seat and said respectfully: "Lord Bingge, the name of the subordinate is Song Yang." ”

"Do you know what I'm here for?"
