"Governor, Hu Meima is very attentive to serving the slaves, and please forgive her." Ikava put her head close to Egnazi's chest and said flatteringly. This is the henchman she cultivated after entering the house. Therefore, no matter what, you can't die in vain.

"Since Ikava is interceding for you, go down and get twenty lashes!" , Egnaqi looked at Ikava's face and said angrily.

Hu Meima, whose face was pale, immediately thanked him and hurriedly retreated. Despite the dungeon's reputation in the palace, Egnazi rarely threw people into the dungeon. But no one who went in came out alive.

So Hu Meima knew that he had walked in front of the ghost gate, and he was grateful to Ikava for saving his life.

Nearly two hours passed before Egnaqi came out of Ikava's room refreshed. Also these days, he didn't have the heart to get a good night's sleep. Therefore, after a period of clouds and rain with Ikeva, he slept very soundly.

And in the dream, he saw the cathar army being routed by the soldiers and horses of Delhi who came to help. He also personally stabbed Li Chengji and cut off the other party's head.

It was only after waking up from a dream that I realized that everything was just a fantasy.

"Governor! The vizier had been waiting in the front hall for a long time. Seeing Egnaqi come out, a waiting guard stepped forward.

"Hmm!" , Egnaqi knew that it was related to the war, and the good mood that he had just woken up immediately disappeared. But it was a matter of survival, and he couldn't ignore it. He led the guards and quickly rushed to the front hall.

Soon after he left, a handmaiden entered Ikava's room. Seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, he quietly retreated.

I don't know how long I slept, but by the time Ikawa woke up, it was already dark.

"Madame, are you awake?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly appeared in Ikava's ears.

"Hmm!" , answered, and then realized that something was wrong, and exclaimed: "It's you? ”。 Once upon a time, she trembled when she heard this voice. It's just that at that time, she was like an ant, and she was in control of life and death.

It wasn't until she climbed the big tree of Egnazi that she took the opportunity to clear up with him and erase her former identity. Slowly, she forgot her past and became the unstoppable Governor's wife with peace of mind.

But when she heard this voice again, the past that she had finally erased quickly recalled in her mind.

"Madame still remembers!" , The maid, who was very similar to Hu Meima's appearance, said with a smile, and approached: "I didn't expect it!" We can still meet in this way. ”。

"Y-why are you here? If the governor bumps into you, you're dead. Ekava exclaimed.

The fake Hu Meima sneered and said coldly: "Is this Governor's wife still comfortable?" I didn't want to come, but I sent you several times, but I didn't reply. I had to bend down and go for myself. ”。

Ekava's face changed suddenly. She naturally knew that those who had been sent had been sent by her to see the true God. Therefore, when he heard the words of the fake Hu Meima, he forcibly calmed down and said, "You want to sue me? ”。

The fake Hu Meima didn't answer, but said loudly as if he was saying something insignificant: "Now that the main army of the country is coming to the city of Huo'er, in order to make meritorious contributions, I asked me to mobilize secret agents in the city to assist the cathars in breaking the city. ”。

"You want me to help you?" Ekava immediately understood and responded. As a spy for the Division, she naturally knew her role. Even if she deliberately cut off contact with him, she still can't forget the experience of the Division.

"Nope! It's to save yourself. The fake Hu Meima corrected: "The city is about to be broken, and Egnaqi can't protect you." And the affairs department is a traitor who will not be redeemed. You should understand your situation, right? ”。

Once upon a time, Ikawa was a female branch girl, and when she endured wanton insults from her guests, he helped her redeem herself and brought her into the affairs department. Later, in order to capture Maru, Ikava became one of the many spies sent to Maru.

Originally, the fake Hu Meima didn't care about it. But after Egnaqi took her away from Yeli, the fake Hu Meima took her seriously.

To this end, he also applied to become a deacon in the Delhi area of the Department of Affairs. Ikeva became his direct subordinate.

But unexpectedly, Ikeva turned out to be restless. He killed the spies he sent one after another, and had plans to rebel. It's just that due to the strength of the Affairs Division, Ikava doesn't dare to go too far. I only dared to hide in the Governor's Mansion and enjoy the benefits brought by the Governor's wife.

The fake Hu Meima is also afraid that after the matter is revealed, the affairs department will investigate his dereliction of duty. So he didn't make a noise and kept the matter a secret.

Now, the lord of the country has come to the outside of the city in person, and the opportunity to make meritorious service is in front of him. The fake Hu Meima didn't care about the risk and went in person.

"Will the Secretariat really spare me?" , Ikava will be skeptical. Although it had been a long time since she left the Division, she still remembered the rules for dealing with traitors clearly. So after knowing the methods of the affairs department, she couldn't believe that the secretary would spare herself.

"Your business has been suppressed by me." In order to dispel Ikeva's doubts, the fake Hu Meima then explained: "Otherwise, with the means of the Affairs Division, do you think you can live so long?" ”。

When Ikava heard this, her face was a little ugly. But in my heart, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the department's pervasive intelligence detection capabilities, after she killed those spies, she would indeed be counterattacked by the department.

Curiously, however, the Division had lost several successive manpower levels. It was as if she had forgotten about her, and nothing had happened. It wasn't until the moment that the truth of the matter was known from the mouth of the fake Hu Meima.

"Deacon, my subordinates were at the mercy of the dispatch." Ekava was soft, and she didn't care about putting on her clothes, so she knelt naked in front of the fake Hu Meima and pleaded guilty.

"Humph! Put away your set! The fake Hu Meima turned his back directly and said disdainfully.

Ekava's face immediately showed a bit of embarrassment that she was being exposed.

The fake Hu Meima ignored it and said straightforwardly: "I will send someone to contact you in the evening." Whether or not to report you to the master of the hall depends on your performance. ”。 After that, I went straight to the side room.

Ekava knows what the fake Hu Meima is capable of, and if she wants to hide, no one else will be able to find him. Therefore, he did not go to the side room to take a look, but called the maids to come in and serve him to change his clothes and wash.

After a while, Mahu Mima also came. But after receiving the whip, he slept in the side room in a daze. Ikava told her to keep quiet, and she kept the matter a secret.

Outside the city, the cathar camp. From the mouth of the commander of the artillery battalion, Li Chengji learned that there were still more than 200 catties of scattered gunpowder. It was captured from the city of Eight Meters and brought all the way to Rahuo'er. In addition, there were more than 500 fireworks and more than 300 shells.

Thinking of the cave method used in the Taiping Army in later generations, Li Chengji asked him to dismantle some of the fireworks and cannonballs. Together, they were filled with coffins or large wooden crates and buried under the city walls.

But the defenders of Rakhu'er City are not so easy to fool! Therefore, how to send the gunpowder to the city safe and sound and fill the dug cave requires some consideration.

He summoned the generals above the commander of a thousand to discuss the solution. It is also to prevent the news from leaking and reaching the ears of Egnazi. So there are not many generals summoned.

After some deliberation, everyone decided to use the siege as a cover, and quietly sent people to dig up the corners of the wall and fill the explosives.
