Chen Qi saw that she was holding the hem of her skirt with one hand, as if she had broken her feet, and her face had been frozen blue, which was really pitiful, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you, how can you call here?" ”

"General, the little girl went out with the servants to incense today, and she was separated from the people because she was greedy for the snow. The little woman didn't know the way, and it was slippery in the snow, so she accidentally fell, so she cried out in pain here, not wanting to disturb the general. ”

Chen Qi saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and her speech and demeanor were full of young lady appearance, and then she was really amazed by that face, and thought to herself which young lady this was, so good color.

"Go, go and help the young lady up."

As soon as Chen Qi's words fell, Eagle Tail hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the little girl is fine." ”

Chen Qi also said that she thought the soldiers were rude, and just wanted to help herself, but the eagle tail had curled up and said: "There is a difference between men and women, I hope the adults will forgive me, and the little woman can stand up by herself." ”

Chen Qi slapped his forehead, thinking that he had forgotten about this stubble, it seemed that he was really a lady with very strict etiquette.

The eagle tail stood up slowly, slowly approached Chen Qi, Ying Ying saluted, as if inadvertently showing the willow waist hidden under the big man, and saw that the eyes of the soldiers around Chen Qi were straight.

"General, please tell the little girl how to go to the Silver Bow Bridge in the west of the city."

"You live in the imperial capital, but you don't know the way?"

Washio's face turned red, "Little women rarely go out......"

"Oh......" Chen Qi thought to himself, it is normal for a woman to not go out of the second door, so he pointed to the distance and said: "You turn a street to the north over there, and then keep walking, at most only a hundred steps, it is the Silver Bow Bridge." ”

"Thank you, Shogun." The eagle tail was close to Chen Qi, and when it was cold and frozen, as soon as he spoke, a soft white breath came out, which just hit Chen Qi's face, and sniffed his heart.

But Chen Qi's expression instantly became solemn, and he shouted: "Slow! ”

Washio was already about to turn around and leave, so he had to turn around and say, "What's the matter, my lord?" ”

"Since you live in this imperial capital, you don't know the way, why do you have an accent that sounds a little familiar? You're not from the Imperial Capital! ”

Eagle Tail lowered his head and said shyly: "The little girl is from Gyeongju, and although she has lived in the imperial capital for many years, she has always been unable to change this local accent...... It made the adults laugh. ”

Chen Qi said "oh", thinking to himself, it turned out to be a person from Gyeongju, people say that Gyeongju beauties are like clouds, and when he saw it today, he didn't have any doubts at the moment, so he nodded and said, "You go." ”

The eagle tail slowly walked away to the north, and Chen Qi also rode his horse and continued to walk south.

How did he know that Zheng Lun was hiding in a corner in the distance, and he had already seen Fang Cai's affairs clearly.

Zheng Lun was already suspicious when he saw that the woman's behavior was strange, and he saw that she and Chen Qi were suffering so much that he couldn't hear what she said clearly.

After the two of them separated, he made up his mind to follow the woman to see what was wrong.

At first, Eagletail was walking slowly, but she heard the sound of footsteps behind her ears, and knew that it was Zheng Lun who was following, so she walked faster and faster.

Zheng Lun saw that she was still pretending to have inconvenient legs and feet at the beginning, but later she walked like a fly, and became more and more convinced that this woman was cheating, and she didn't know which country lurked into the imperial capital, where would she let it go?

He hurriedly divided his soldiers into several groups, and ordered them to quickly outflank the left and right alleys in advance, but he was quiet

He followed behind, trying to capture the woman alive.

Eagle Tail didn't recognize other places in the imperial capital, but because he had been staring at Qinghuai Villa for a few days, he was very familiar with the vicinity, so he rushed all the way to Qinghuai Villa, and saw a clearing in front of the villa, and suddenly a bunch of soldiers poured out from various alleys in all directions, surrounding her in the middle.

"It's come to this, why don't you get down quickly?" There was a shout from behind him.

Eagletail slowly crouched down, and fell to the ground with a big slump on her body, and no one could see what her hands were doing under the big skull.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Zheng Lun thought to himself why bother talking nonsense, so he was arrested and interrogated slowly. So he made a gesture.

Hundreds of soldiers slowly gathered around the center, and the circle around Eagletail became smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, the eagle's tail lifted the big one, and some swarthy beads appeared under his feet.

I saw her pick up several beads with her ten fingers slightly bent and throw them in different directions one after another.

Every time one was thrown, there was an earth-shattering explosion like thunder, which not only blew up the surrounding soldiers into the sky, but also blew up big craters on the ground.

The sudden change caused the soldiers to rush one after another, and Zheng Lun was unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south by bursts of black smoke. The war horse that sat down was taken aback, and flipped Zheng Lun to the ground and jumped out, where did he care about the life or death of the main general.

However, the eagle tail didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and continued to pick up the thunder and fire beads on the ground and throw them out, so frightened that Zheng Lun could only hold his head tightly and lie on the ground and dare not move.

After a dozen deafening explosions, the whole world finally fell silent. Zheng Lun was frightened, and a woman's coquettish smile came from his ears.

"I could have lived a few more days, but I had to rush to death today...... I'm going to play with you today, and I'll give you a big gift in a few days. ”

The black smoke cleared, and Zheng Lun stood up tremblingly to see where there was still a trace of the woman. But he had no time to think about the woman's whereabouts, for what he saw before him was so shocking......

It was originally a wide open space, but now a complete circular pit has been blown out along the circle around him, turning the square inch under his feet into an island in the middle. The pit was littered with the corpses of soldiers, with mutilated limbs, and the hearts of the people were beating wildly.

Zheng Lun believes that he has seen many people on the battlefield of life and death, but he has never seen such a ruthless and terrifying killing method, and the enemy is only one person, and he is still a woman!

A great sense of fear quickly took over his entire mind.

Result...... How many such people are still lurking in the imperial capital?

Why did she come all the way to Qinghuai Villa?

How many people did Chen Qi secretly communicate with under his nose?

Zheng Lun suddenly felt that maybe it was time to find a way to save his life.

******

Pei Ran, as the head of the household, has a professional sensitivity to money.

This astonishing sensitivity made everyone around him think that this was the biggest reason why he was able to control the household for so long.

In fact, otherwise, Pei Ran still has a stronger ability, which is the root of his wildfire.

That's the sense of smell.

Ye Zhiqiu had always asked him not to cut off Emperor Wen's military food supply, and he did so.

But a few days ago

Suddenly, the son asked him to cut off supplies, and he did so.

According to ordinary people's thinking, they will think that the side that is cut off from supplies is dead.

But Pei Ran didn't think so.

Desperate to survive, no pole Tailai.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly sent someone to order him to cut off food so urgently, he must have encountered something tricky.

Soon, rumors that various reinforcements from the surrounding neighboring countries had infiltrated the city began to spread everywhere, which of course also reached Pei Ran's ears.

Pei Ran is not good at leading the army to fight, but splitting between catties and two is his strength, and he quickly saw some clues that ordinary people can't see.

Obviously, all the rebels, including Ye Zhiqiu, believed that the enemy troops had been mixed in with reinforcements in the city, but Pei Ran was the only one who didn't believe it.

The reason is actually very simple, people have to eat.

If you really mix in with the enemy army, you will inevitably need supplies, where will this supply come from?

Pei Ran quietly checked the circulation of various grain estates and found that there was almost no movement in the entire imperial capital.

There is only one explanation for the enemy army that does not eat food: it does not exist.

In other words, this is a ploy set up by Emperor Wen to confuse the enemy.

Although it is not known what the ultimate purpose of this strategy is, at least the initial effect has already appeared.

Pei Ran looked at Chen Qi, who was patrolling the city every day in the imperial capital, Zheng Lun, who was uncertain, and Ye Zhiqiu, who was worried, and suddenly felt an incomparable pleasure when he thought of the humiliating scene in the snow house.

He saw the flaws in this strategy, but Ye Zhiqiu and they didn't have it yet.

Since this is the case, we must find a way to fill this flaw and secretly help the saint.

Pei Ran's sense of smell is very sensitive, and his thinking is also very clear.

A rebel army is a rebel army, the world must be holy after all, only following the saint is the king, no matter what promise Ye Zhiqiu makes, after all, it is just a mirror and a lot.

What's more, the northwest side of the imperial capital where the Baiguan Mansion is located is far away from the east and south of the city where the so-called "reinforcements" are infested, even if there is a war, he has no worries, as long as he doesn't want to be a bird in the Hanyuan Palace.

So Pei Ran began to think carefully about what to do next.

After all, he is a veteran of officialdom, and his ability to act and speed of reaction are still very good.

But in half a day, he made up his mind and began to act in secret.

First of all, he secretly sent people out of the city to a private granary in the eastern suburbs, and directly transported supplies from there to the Hanjiang River. The granary in the eastern suburbs is his wife's mother's belongings, and of course there is no need to walk the official document when the grain and grass come in and out, so naturally it will not be noticed by Ye Zhiqiu. And his wife's maiden family is a family that inherits the prince, and the family background is very solid, even if all the grain is transported, it will not hurt the vitality.

Then he suggested that it was better for the people of Nancheng to set up porridge sheds in various parts of Nancheng to give some thin porridge on the grounds that rumors of reinforcements were spreading and people's hearts were fluctuating.

Ye Zhiqiu was in a hurry, and when he heard that it was such a trivial matter, he didn't care about it, so he agreed.

How did he know that once Pei Ran set up a large number of porridge sheds, the amount of grain in circulation in the city would inevitably fluctuate, and if he wanted to judge and verify the number of enemy troops in the city based on the amount of grain in circulation, he would not know.

So, when Ye Zhiqiu thought that everything was business as usual in the city, Pei Ran had quietly withdrawn his salary from the bottom of the kettle.
