After discussing with everyone in the General's Mansion, Lu Li left the General's Mansion, then took out a luxurious set of clothes from his baggage and changed into them, and went to meet Yang Xue.

Before he arrived at Ji Wen's mansion, Lu Li was stopped by a group of soldiers, and Lu Li hurriedly nodded to the soldiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, the merchant surnamed Qinghua City is named Zao, and he is Mrs. Yang Xue's distant cousin." I learned that Mrs. Yang Xue was here, so I came to visit. ”

When Jingguo's soldiers saw it, they thought that Lu Li was here to climb the relationship, so they wanted to drive it away. Lu Li took out some broken silver and stuffed it into the hands of the leading soldier, and the soldier nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll go and report it." ”

When the soldier entered the courtyard, he immediately lost his arrogance when he stopped Lu Li. The courtyard is guarded by Ji Wen's personal guards, and as a guard on the periphery, he doesn't often come in this courtyard.

Hao Yang was patrolling with people, and he happened to see this soldier, so he immediately stopped him: "Stop, you are a guard outside the courtyard, what are you doing in the courtyard?" ”

The soldier hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the adult, there is a person outside who claims to be a relative of Mrs. Yang Xue, and the villain is here to report." ”

Hao Yang narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then asked, "Where is that person, take me to see it!" ”

The soldier took Hao Yang outside the door, and when he saw Lu Li, Hao Yang walked straight over: "Your Excellency is a relative of Mrs. Yang Xue?" ”

Lu Li glanced at Hao Yang and hurriedly put on a smile: "If you go back to the official master, the villain is Mrs. Yang Xue's distant cousin, and he specially came to visit her." ”

"So?" Hao Yang dragged out his voice, and his eyes looked at Lu Li: "Who told you that Mrs. Yang is here?" ”

Lu Li was shocked after hearing this, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back. I still thought about things too simply, thinking that I could meet Yang Xue by making up a random reason, but I didn't expect this person to ask the point all of a sudden. How could ordinary people know that Yang Xue was here?

Hao Yang saw that Lu Li didn't speak for a long time, and said directly to his subordinates: "Come on, arrest him!" ”

When Lu Li heard this, he put his hand into his sleeve and clenched the dagger, and the moment the two soldiers came over, Lu Li directly burst out and threw the dagger at Hao Yang.

Because the distance was too close, Hao Yang didn't have time to react at all, so he could only make a subconscious dodge, and the dagger slashed across his face, leaving a deep scar on his face.

Lu Li took the opportunity to turn around and run, and the soldiers hurriedly chased after him. Hao Yang covered his wounds and shouted: "Quick, inform the two generals Ma Hua and Shao Qin, blocking the city gate and not letting him escape!" ”

The soldiers chased Lu Li into the street, and the people saw this situation and hurriedly took refuge, causing a commotion, and Lu Li took the opportunity to burrow into an alley. By the time the soldiers chased them into the alley, Lu Li was gone.

Soon, the soldiers reported the situation to Hao Yang, who immediately ordered a search of the whole city. Waiting for the soldiers to leave, Hao Yang thought in his heart: This person wants to see Yang Xue by name, could it be that Yang Xue is an accomplice with him?

Thinking of this, Hao Yang hurriedly shook his head, this kind of thing was beyond his jurisdiction, and after thinking about it, he decided to report this matter to Ji Wen.

"You said that the assassin wanted to see Yang Xue by name?" After listening to Hao Yang's words, Ji Wen became suspicious.

Hao Yang nodded, not daring to comment. Ji Wen couldn't hold his breath, and said directly: "Go, you follow me to confront Yang Xue face to face!" ”

The two came to Yang Xue's room, Yang Xue felt that something was wrong when she saw Ji Wen's posture, but she still said unhurriedly: "If the prince wants to find a concubine and ask his subordinates to call me over, why did he come over in person?" ”

Ji Wen ignored her and said directly: "Just now, the outsiders said that it was a distant relative of Concubine Ai, so I came to talk to Concubine Ai." ”

When Yang Xue heard this, she immediately showed a puzzled expression: "Huh? Lord Wang, this person is a liar, and the relatives of the concubines have already gone to Jingguo, how can they be here? The prince quickly arrested this person and asked him about his true purpose! ”

Seeing Yang Xue's reaction, Ji Wen was a little puzzled, could it be that Yang Xue really didn't know that person? It seemed that he could only catch the man and ask him from his mouth.

"Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry too much, Hao Yang has already seen through his conspiracy, but that person has good skills and ran away, so this king will order someone to arrest him back for a good interrogation!" After speaking, Ji Wen took Hao Yang and left directly.

At this time, Yang Xue breathed a sigh of relief, but she quickly guessed: Most of the people who came to find her at this time were Zhang Shumo's people, did he take the initiative to come to find herself, did he have something to tell him? Forget it, you can't meddle in this matter, otherwise Ji Wen will definitely suspect it, so let that person fend for himself, no, it's better to die without proof!

Lu Li had already changed his clothes at this time, put on a fake beard, and hurriedly walked on the streets of Xu Liangcheng. He turned around and found that the city gate was closed, and the soldiers searched the city, and immediately understood that he could not leave, so he climbed over the wall and entered the general's palace.

After Mrs. Su knew about Lu Li, she immediately changed the clothes of the people under him, and let him mix in with the people.

For two days in a row, Hao Yang did not find out Lu Li's whereabouts, which made Ji Wen very annoyed. He immediately ordered Hao Yang to increase the search area, and not to let go of every inch. Hao Yang received the order, and when he was about to leave, a guard hurriedly ran in.

"Oh no, Lord Wang, just now there was news from the next city, Jiao Qiang of the Western Route Army led 10,000 horses to occupy the next city, and then led people to attack Dieling Pass!"

"What!" Ji Wen stood up violently and slapped the table fiercely: "How can this be reasonable, this king doesn't beat them, but they start this king's idea!" Come on, call Ma Hua and Shao Qin to me! ”

Hao Yang on the side thought of Lu Li's matter in his heart: that person and the events of the next city happened one after another, is there any connection between the two?

Soon, Ma Hua and Shao Qin arrived, and Ji Wen said directly to the point: "Jiao Qiang of the Western Route Army will take 10,000 people to fight the Middle City and Dieling Pass, which of you will take it back for me!" ”

When the two heard this, they clasped their fists at the same time and knelt on one knee: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Ji Wen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay!" Mahua, this king will send you over, how many men and horses do you plan to bring? ”

Ma Hua thought for a while and said: "In order to be safe, the last general plans to lead 40,000 troops to recapture the next city and Dieling Pass. Before the arrival of reinforcements from our Jingguo, we will not let the enemy take away the two passes. ”

"Forty thousand? There are only 10,000 of them, what are you doing with so many people? Ji Wen asked angrily.

Ma Hua hurriedly explained: "Qinghua City is very close to the two passes, and the last general will bypass Qinghua City and directly attack the two passes, which will inevitably be attacked from the front and back, so it is safer to bring more men and horses." ”

At this time, Hao Yang suddenly felt that the enemy army had a big conspiracy, and hurriedly said: "No! If General Ma took away 40,000 people, then Xu Liangcheng would only be guarded by more than 20,000 people, in case the enemy attacked Xu Liangcheng, wouldn't the prince be in danger? ”
