Chapter 70: Undercover
CHAPTER 70 3.24
"Lu Wan, let Jing Jiu inform His Highness to keep an eye on this."
Lu Wan followed Ruoxi's gaze, "This is a forest?" ”
Ruoxi carefully studied the caravan's route, and in order not to arouse suspicion, they would definitely not deviate too far from the original route, so Ruoxi took the caravan's original route as the axis and extended a five-kilometer range outward. Combined with the previous analysis, the scope is further narrowed. Judging from the information currently available, no matter what Nancang is plotting, the people of Liguo are an indispensable part of it. Therefore, their stronghold must be located near the border, or in other words, there must be a stronghold near the border. Nancang has taken so many people from Yangcheng, and the target is too big, so this place should not be far from Yangcheng. This densely wooded and sparsely populated place is the perfect place to hide. "In addition, let Yangcheng, Guangling, and Liangcheng check if there are any secret passages in the city."
It was late at night. Even the boisterous bugs have died down. And in the secret room of the National Teacher's Mansion, there are still candles.
"Father, I'm afraid Liguo already has some suspicions." These people, nominally caravans, freight to and fro, but in fact they are all masters, if it weren't for the cold ice and death, I am afraid that this news will really be sent out by them. "I didn't expect Liguo's reaction to be so fast." From the time Liguo proposed to form this caravan, they were careful, but in the end, they were still exploited.
"Has Ling Ruoxi made any changes recently?"
"Father, you mean, it's her handiwork?" Luo Li's research and development base is far away from the border, and Ling Ruoxi is in Changping, thousands of miles away, how did she know?
"Hmph, don't underestimate this girl. She is Ling Yunsi's child. You've got your eyes on Lu Wan, and if necessary, you can start with her. In addition," Leng Tian glanced at Gu Yin, "Han Bing, it's good to be buried." "I thought that it was foolproof to use drugs to control Leng Guyin, but now it seems that the amount of medicine will be increased.
"Yes. Father, should we stop our actions? ”
"No, you don't." Now the development of Luoli needs a large number of people to test the drug, and success or failure depends on this. He had waited for more than twenty years and didn't want to wait any longer. "It's business as usual."
As soon as Lu Wan sent the secret letter out, she felt that someone was following her behind her. Moreover, it seems that the group of people in front of them are also not good. Before Lu Wan could come up with a way, a large number of people suddenly appeared in front of and behind her, making a commotion, just separating the two groups of people who were following her. Before he could figure out where these people were coming from, he was dragged into a convenient room by a hand.
"Miss Luwan, it's me!" Lu Wan subconsciously punched back, and only then did she see the person clearly, "Lu Xuan? How are you? "Lu Xuan is the guard of the King of Nanyang, he is here, what about the King of Nanyang?
Really. Lu Xuan turned sideways, and the one standing behind him was the King of Nanyang.
The person in front of her was unknown, and Lu Wan didn't dare to linger longer. He raised the pastry box in his hand and said, "My lord is still waiting for the pastries, so the slave and maid will retire first." ”
Before Lu Wan could walk out, Lu Xuan grabbed her arm. King Nanyang didn't speak, how dare he let people go.
"Miss Luwan, the people outside here are all going to arrest you. Are you sure you can still see your master when you go out like this? As if to verify Shangguan Jinglin's words, there were whispers from these people outside.
"What about people?"
"I don't know, I don't see it."
"People must still be around here, search for me."
"Yes."
These people are clearly coming at her.
"Lord Wang," Lu Wan gave a blessing lightly, and said: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, Lu Wan is just a little slave, one doesn't make enemies and the other doesn't hold grudges, I think it's a coincidence." The lord of the county was still waiting for the pastries, and the slave maid told the ...... first Before Lu Wan finished speaking, Lu Xuan took advantage of her unpreparedness and knocked her unconscious with a knife hand.
"Send people back to the Hou Mansion."
King Nanyang intervened sideways, and Lu Wan was safe and sound, but King Nanyang's words were still in his ears. "General, it seems that you still don't trust this king, and I believe that you will soon be able to see the sincerity of this king." Ruoxi hadn't understood what Shangguan Jinglin meant at the moment, but this sincerity was received by her not long after.
is also confused, and Leng Guyin.
"You mean, someone showed up and saved her?" Could it be Ling Ruoxi? But in a few months, have they inserted so many people in Chang'an?
"Yes, my subordinates guessed that these people should be the people of the King of Nanyang. Among them, one of them was a subordinate of King Nanyang, and his subordinates had met once. ”
King of Nanyang? How could King Nanyang and Ling Ruoxi get involved?
"Take someone immediately and seal the Tianshui Pavilion." Whether it is as Chu Haochu or as Leng Guyin, he is not a person who plays cards according to common sense.
If there is no evidence, find out the evidence.
"Miss, when I just came back, I was followed. And just now, Tianshui Pavilion was seized. ”
This move, Ruoxi was going to stay at the end, but he didn't expect to be ruined by Leng Guyin so quickly.
However, if you can find out even if you check, I will lose.
"Master Hou, but what did you find out?" Ruoxi leisurely sipping tea, looking at the angry Leng Guyin in front of him. Leng Guyin ran over angrily early in the morning, his clothes were still the same as yesterday's, and his body was still stained with blood, it seemed that he had just come back from prison. Looking at his appearance, you don't have to think about it to know that he didn't ask anything, and he came to find Ruoxi to be angry. "Master Hou, I am the wife that your Ming Media is marrying, if something happens to me, Master Hou thinks that the Hou Mansion can get out of it?!"
"Ling Ruoxi, you'd better make sure that you don't have any ulterior intentions when you come to Nancang, otherwise, I will definitely take you down with my own hands!"
Ruoxi shook his head and watched Leng Gu stride away without looking back.
The matter of Tianshui Pavilion was originally deliberately misleading, and this matter was just a matter of not being resolved in the end. Ruoxi is also rare to have a few days of peace.
Changping found nothing, but on the Yangcheng side, Changfeng traced it for many days according to the clues provided by Ruoxi, and finally had some eyebrows.
"Master, just go alone. You are in the armed forces, and you cannot put yourself at risk. ”
"Don't worry, aren't there still Jing Yuan and Yuan Hao? Besides, no matter how bad it is, there is still General Qin! "Ruoxi previously reminded that Nancang was able to avoid Liguo's sight and transfer people outside the city, and it was likely that there was a secret passage. Changfeng analyzed, no matter where this secret passage is, where it leads, it must pass through the city wall. So in the past few days, Changfeng took Wei Jiu and touched almost every brick, and finally let Changfeng discover the abnormality.
Outside the city is the moat, and the moat, together with the Canglan River, must pass through a section of water to connect the inside and outside of the city. The climate of Yangcheng is not humid, and now it is the dry season, and the land is dry, but the land here is wet, and it is obvious that there is another mystery underground.
In order to prevent the enemy from entering the city from the waterway, Ruoxi not only set up a large number of obstacles underwater, but also ordered people to build a watchtower in Yangcheng to monitor the dynamics of Yunshui at any time to prevent the enemy from going deep.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Nancang to pass from the clouds and water, only from other places.
According to the location of the city, Changfeng quickly confirmed the approximate location of the entrance, and determined that it was indeed the entrance to the secret passage of Nancang.
"General Luo, this play, please cooperate with us. In addition, it is impossible to secretly arrest so many people and transfer them out of the city without a certain number of people. I suspect that there are still their hidden stakes in Yangcheng, so I will trouble you to find them all out and destroy the secret passage. "The prince has replied to the secret letter, asking him to handle this matter with full authority, and all the troops, big and small officials in Yangcheng, are at his disposal. Now that they are in the light, the south is in the dark, and the enemy's strength is unknown, after thinking about it, it is safer to let the team on the border participate.
Changfeng decided to pretend to be a person in distress and lure the snake out of the hole, which led to the scene of Wei Jiu's persuasion at the beginning.
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind, you go and prepare first." Ruoxi is still in Nancang, and every day is unpredictable. If Nancang's conspiracy is found out one day earlier, Ruoxi will be able to return one day earlier.
In order to make the trick real, Changfeng and Wei Jiu, pretending to be small soldiers under General Cheng Luo, were expelled home for violating military law, and were collected by creditors. As Changfeng expected, on the third day of their wandering on the street, someone came to the door and said that they were asked to work, as long as the work was done well and the price was negotiable.
"Don't worry, my brother and I used to be soldiers, and I have the strength to ensure your satisfaction." Wei Jiu deliberately didn't have anything to say along the way, distracting his attention, creating opportunities for Changfeng, and secretly leaving marks along the way.
It is necessary to ensure that they can enter the interior smoothly without being suspected, and they can no longer continue to let Nancang scourge the people of Liguo, this scene must continue to be performed.
In the past few days, the army, which had previously only been responsible for the defense of the city, suddenly took over the defense of the city. Not only are there people patrolling the streets every day, but there are also people searching from house to house. It is said that Yangcheng mixed in with Nancang's spies. Even the defense at night was more than doubled.
"Big brother, should we avoid the limelight?"
Taking advantage of their efforts to deliver food, according to the light seeping in from outside, Changfeng estimated that they had been locked up in this cellar for three days. There were also a dozen or so people tied up behind them. It is estimated that he has been locked up for too long, and he has no energy.
"No, the adults are already urging me, so we can't wait any longer. Let's do it tonight. When the time comes, you lead people away, and I will take them away. Remember, be careful. ”
Looks like they're going to make a move.
In order to be safe, most of the people who were arrested would be placed separately. A few days ago, they had just brought Changfeng back, and before they could enter the door, they saw Tian Taishou's people circle the inside and outside of the small courtyard, saying that there was a problem with the title deed of this house and that it was to be returned to the government.
These two Nancang meticulous works did not dare to rashly expose their identities and confront the government, so they could only pray that the entrance of the secret passage would be hidden, and they would not be able to find it for the time being.
I don't know if it was because of the tense atmosphere in the past few days that the people smelled the smell of danger, and every household closed their doors early. There was only a small patrol in the streets, with the occasional sound of weapons and armor clashing together.
"Who?" When the servant arranged by Tian Taishou was drowsy, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing, and immediately became energetic, picked up his saber and chased after his companions.
