After chatting with Ling Baiyu for a few words, Ling Xia instructed several times in a row, until Ling Baiyu nodded as if he didn't understand, he put his mind at ease, crossed the boundary of Jingzhao County, and after running for dozens of miles, Ling Xia and the four of them went on the official road, which was equivalent to the highway in later generations, built wide and flat.

Came to the intersection of the official road, there was a post station, entered the post station, two people dressed as men came to greet them, verified their identities, and learned that Ling Xia and the four of them were the people of the political envoy Yamen and the war guards, the stationmaster of the post station hurriedly ran out to greet him, while beckoning the servants to take care of the horses, while registering, and asked Ling Xia if the four of them were on business or resting?

Because there is a token of the political envoy yamen and the camp of the war guards, so the post station is respectful to the four of Ling Xia, this post station is a three-story structure, the first floor of the post station is the dining area, the second floor is the office area for delivering official documents, the third floor is the place to stay in the tip, the manger is in the backyard, and there are special guys to take care of the horses.

When she entered the door, Ling Baiyu played a child's temper, refusing to enter the post station, seeing her crazy and stupid appearance, the two people in charge of monitoring didn't pay much attention to her, and let Ling Baiyu play outside the post station.

Neither of them noticed, Ling Baiyu played at the door for a while, and when she saw Ling Xia and them all entering inside, she quietly walked towards the manger in the backyard.

……

"My lord, I feel that the kid surnamed Ling didn't seem to tell the truth when he returned to the case, he seemed to be hiding something?"

"Well, this official also feels this way, that kid seems to have sensed something? Although he reported many things, he kept avoiding the details about the Yin Soldier's borrowing of the Tao. ”

"They're on the post now, and it's going to be dark in an hour, or is it? Sending someone to the post station to "take care"? ”

"Go, this matter is very important, there is no room for the slightest mistake, the slightest mistake is a sin full of beheading, you can go for a trip, pay attention to concealment, don't be noticed by Wu Zhenshan."

"The lowly also knows that this matter is too deeply involved, so I don't dare to take it lightly, there are a few masters in the government, they are all recruited from the rivers and lakes, outsiders don't know them, and the lowly position sends them over to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

……

In the post station, Ling Xia was looking through the registration book, he first looked through yesterday's entry and exit records, there was no information about the Praetorian Guards on it, which showed that the Praetorian Guards who marched last night did not enter the post station to rest.

"Strange? The cavalry team of more than 1,000 people, except for the post station, which can house horses, provide food, shelter and transportation, can not be repaired at all, but these Janissaries pass by the post station but do not repair and rest, why is this? ”

After whispering, Ling Xia looked at the stationmaster and asked casually: "Stationmaster, last night, did you see a group of cavalry coming over from the direction of the imperial capital, almost more than a thousand people?" ”

"Yes, the cavalry you mentioned should be a team of 1,000 people, led by a big man, followed by an adjutant general and a female general wearing a veil, at that time I went up to greet them, I wanted them to come in and rest, but those people didn't look at me.

Speaking of which, the official and those people can be regarded as colleagues, but I didn't expect that the gang would ignore them, and I was really angry with the official. The stationmaster complained angrily.

"They didn't add anything? Even if they're not hungry, they should be hungry when they ride horses. When you came to the station, those people didn't add some forage or anything? Ling Xia asked puzzled.

"You don't understand this, but all military horses, if it is a short march, they are prepared with their own forage, if they are a long-distance march, they are accompanied by a team specially responsible for food and grass, in order to ensure the food safety of military horses, the cavalry basically does not supplement forage from outside."

Speaking of this, the stationmaster recalled for a moment, and then told Ling Xia: "Although those cavalrymen did not replenish the forage, the female general on the white horse asked for a bowl of rice and a fried bamboo shoot. It seems that the female general is not used to eating the dry food of the army, so she opens a small stove for herself. ”

"Female general, what are her characteristics?" Ling Xia couldn't wait to ask.

"Features? She has no features, she rides a white horse, she wears a white dress, she has a veil on her face, she can't see clearly, oh, by the way, she carries a treasure knife around her waist, the scabbard is golden, and it is not cheap at first glance. ”

"Is it true that a woman wears white clothes and veils, can ride horses, and wield a sword?" Thinking of this, Ling Xia's figure appeared in Ling Xia's mind.

With a complicated sigh, Ling Xia continued to look through the register, yesterday at fifteen o'clock in the afternoon, the political envoy of Zhongmiao Province and his entourage of five people entered the post station to rest, and left at sixteen o'clock. At 19 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the three people of Jingzhao County checked into the post station and left at 6 o'clock the next day. At twenty-one o'clock last night, Mu Luoqiu, the commander of the Magnificent Xinjiang War Guard, entered the post station to rest and left at twenty-three o'clock. At one o'clock in the morning, the third lady of Jiangnan Sushi Commercial Bank checked into the post station......

After looking back at the record book's one-month check-in information, Ling Xia asked the two officials who were responsible for assisting him to copy a copy of the contents of the record book, seeing that the two of them were hesitant, Ling Xia pointed to the record book meaningfully, saying that there were important clues recorded in it.

The two officials were originally to spy on Ling Xia and prevent him from concealing clues or handing them over to the opposing camp, so after hearing that there was important information in the record book, the two of them immediately came to pen and ink and carefully copied the information in the record book, for fear of missing the clues and letting the people from the other camp take the lead.

Seeing the two officials busy transcribing the information intently, Ling Xia quietly walked towards the backyard of the post station with his hands behind his back.

"Drive!"

"Click......"

The two officials were working hard when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the backyard, and the two looked at each other and exclaimed, "It's broken, I'm fooled." After shouting, the two hurriedly ran towards the backyard. When they came to the backyard, they saw that the horses that Ling Xia and the others were riding were missing in the manger, the two were shocked and angry, and they identified the direction, and the two hurriedly rode their mounts to chase after them.

Not long after the two left, two people walked out of the firewood room on the side, they turned out to be Ling Xia and Ling Baiyu, seeing the officials riding away, Ling Xia asked Ling Baiyu to take out a horse casually, because the post station is responsible for transmitting information, so the horses are all good horses, after Ling Baiyu chose the horses, Ling Xia pointed in another direction and let Ling Baiyu gallop on the horse!

Half an hour later, the two officials chased Ling Xia's horse from the official road, but at this time, the post man sitting on horseback, faced with the officer's inquiry, the man told them that Ling Xia ordered him to do this, Ling Xia asked the man to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao County to deliver a letter, saying that Su Jing'an, the political envoy, was going there to inspect tonight, and when he left, Ling Xia specially gave his horse to the man.

"Oops, I'm in the middle of the trick."

After listening to the guy's description, the two servants suddenly woke up, they fell for Ling Xia's golden cicada shelling plan, although they understood, but it was too late, if they started to chase, maybe they could catch up, but at this moment, such a delay, Ling Xia and the two had already run away, looking in the opposite direction of the official road, the two secretly gritted their teeth!

……

"What? Ran away? How did you run? ”

"You say it again, people are lost?"

An hour later, at the Feifengling station, Su Jing'an and Wu Zhenshan received a report from their subordinates at the same time, and learned that Ling Xia and the two had sneaked away, their expressions were all gloomy, and they severely punished the official in charge of monitoring, and the two immediately sent someone to chase Ling Xia, and after the subordinates left, the two took the record book copied by the official from the post station, and sat in the tent to ponder.

"Brother, why are we running?"

"Brother, where are we going?"

Facing Ling Baiyu's inquiry, Ling Xia didn't answer her, he was silently observing Ling Baiyu in front of him, according to the information described by the stationmaster, synthesizing some of Ling Baiyu's characteristics, Ling Xia guessed that she should be the female general riding a white horse.

She was supposed to be with the Praetorian Guards, but for some reason? She actually escaped from the Yin Soldier Borrowing Dao, but although she escaped from the Yin Soldier Borrowing Dao, she became crazy because she was too frightened.

After guessing Ling Baiyu's identity, Ling Xia hesitated a little in his heart, it stands to reason that he should send Ling Baiyu back to the imperial capital, but Ling Xia didn't know what kind of character Ling Baiyu was, what if she regained her consciousness and turned her face and didn't recognize people?

If she wasn't sent back, then she would have to follow her all the time, Ling Xia really didn't want to get involved in the struggle of the imperial court, besides, he didn't know what role Ling Baiyu played in this Yin Soldier borrowing incident, so he didn't want to go to the imperial capital.

"Brother, why don't you speak? Did Bai Yu make his brother angry? "It is said that women are sensitive, although Ling Baiyu is crazy and stupid, she has noticed Ling Xia's abnormality.

"Bai Yu, stop." Ling Xia made a decision.

When Ling Baiyu stopped his horse, Ling Xia handed her all the dry food and a few copper coins on his body, and then, using the pen and paper he had brought from the post station, he wrote a short letterhead, saying that as long as someone sent Ling Baiyu to the Praetorian Guard headquarters, he could get a hundred gold coins.

handed the letter to Ling Baiyu, Ling Xia pointed to the official road in front of her, and asked Ling Baiyu to go straight to the capital, and after arriving in the capital, she took out the letter from a crowded place and handed it to the other party, and someone would lead her home at that time.

Hearing that Ling Xia was going to take her away, Ling Baiyu showed a trace of grievance on her face, she grabbed Ling Xia's hand and didn't let him go, seeing Ling Baiyu grabbing her clothes hard, she refused to let go, Ling Xia forced a smile and said that she wanted to play a game for Ling Baiyu.

As soon as he heard that he was going to play a game, Ling Baiyu spread his hands, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he kept nodding: "Okay, okay, my brother will play games with me." ”

"Bai Yu is really good, in this way, let's play hide and seek, you close your eyes and count, my brother hides, when you count to a thousand, you open your eyes again, okay?"

"Okay, I'll start counting, brother, hide it." As he spoke, Ling Baiyu happily closed his eyes and counted in a low voice: "One, two, three, four, brother, hide it......"

Looking at Ling Baiyu, who was counting silently with a smile on his face, Ling Xu showed a trace of helplessness and reluctance, and after staring for a while, he turned around and ran towards the woods next to him, he ran far away, and did not stop until he was sure that Ling Baiyu could not find him.

"Brother! Don't you want me? Elder brother! ”

More than ten minutes later, there was a heartbreaking, anxious, panicked, and aggrieved cry from the official road......
