Although the fact that the Son of Heaven was stationed in the county government of Biguan could not be publicized, the defense of the county government was quickly strengthened. Not only were the original officers in the county government required to guard the important places inside and outside the county around the clock, but even Zhu Xuan and Lei Ming seconded two hundred elite soldiers to guard outside the county office. Of course, the explanation to the outside world is that the county government has caught a few important criminals, and in order to prevent changes, it must be strictly guarded.

Fortunately, the assassination that happened in the granary before did alarm many people, and as soon as it was passed on, everyone really thought that some Tartar spies had mixed into the bias pass and were taken down by the government on the spot, so it was reasonable for the county government to guard it tightly.

However, even so, the back office where Zhengde lived at this time was still guarded by his personal guards, and this key position was not given to the county government. So at night, the back office is much darker and quieter than the bright lights of the courtyard in front of it.

At this time, Yun Niang was looking her man up and down suspiciously, and after a few hesitations, she finally asked the doubts in her heart: "Lang Jun, who are you?" Why was it that after being discovered that day, even the county magistrate was alarmed, and specially invited you here to protect you? Moreover, your companions are much more powerful than ordinary people at first glance, which is not what you say a rich boy can do. ”

Yun Niang is actually not stupid, but because she loves Zhengde, a pretty gentleman, she has never studied her identity in detail. But after experiencing this recent series of changes, she has to think carefully about the identity of the other party, after all, this is related to the happiness of her life. She didn't want her Lang Jun to suddenly disappear in two days like he did many years ago, at least she had to know the exact identity of the other party, so she could go to him in the future.

Zhengde's eyes rolled slightly, and he put his hand around this beautiful person, and said softly: "Could it be that what kind of identity I am has a great influence or relationship with the relationship between you and me?" It's enough for you to know that I like you and you like me too. As he spoke, he kissed the woman's face and ear lightly, trying to distract the other party by such means.

Originally, this trick was tried and tested, as long as Yun Niang's interest was aroused, she would leave everything else behind and fly with Zhengde. But today, she turned her head away, flashed such teasing, and a pair of watery eyes just stared at each other: "Don't you want to tell me your identity so much?" Even if you already have a wife and children at home, I won't mind. People are willing to be your outer house, and they won't cause you trouble, but I just want to know who my Langjun is......" said, with a sad look on his face and a desire to cry.

When Zhengde saw her like this, his heart was also touched. He is already an amorous person, otherwise he would not have deliberately gone to such a border to have a private meeting with a private woman as the Son of Heaven. was begged softly by the woman in his arms, he really couldn't harden his heart and continue to lie to her, so he said with a straight face: "Actually, my identity is indeed a little different, I am ......"

Just as he wanted to tell Yun Niang his true identity, a soft shout suddenly sounded outside: "What person?" Immediately, several figures suddenly flashed and rushed to the darkness in front of them, and a few others quickly came to the door where Zhengde and the others were, several pairs of eyes staring nervously ahead, and the bright weapons in their hands were shining.

This suddenly interrupted the conversation between the men and women in the room, Yun Niang was shocked, and hugged her Langjun tightly with her backhand, and Zhengde's body was also all the time, staring at the doors and windows with vigilant eyes, as if she was on guard, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back because of this.

Several guards outside seemed to be very organized and organized, and their focus was still on protecting Zhengde's safety, in case the enemy turned the tiger away from the mountain, and at the same time, they also separated the three of them and quickly pounced towards the position where the figure had flashed just now. But as a result, there was no gain, and not even the slightest trace of someone hiding here was found.

And their actions also quickly alarmed the elite of the border army guarding the courtyard of the second hall, and these people also rushed over under the leadership of Ding Yueqian, and in a blink of an eye, this area was surrounded by water, plus the torches lit one by one, if there were really any unscrupulous people sneaking in, unless they would go to heaven and earth, there would be no possibility of getting out.

But as a result, the people on both sides looked at each other, and then looked separately, but they still found nothing. This made Ding Yueqian frown a little: "Several, are you dazzled for a moment and seen it wrong?" ”

"This ...... Probably not. We used to stay in the palace, and if we didn't even have the middle eyesight, we would have been replaced by others a long time ago. Someone immediately replied dissatisfied.

"But there is only such a small place between the second hall and the third hall, we have all looked for it, haven't we found nothing?" Ding Yueqian still insists on his own opinion.

As soon as he said this, several guards could not insist anymore, and could only say: "No matter what, you have to be more careful, don't let people take advantage of it." ”

"I naturally save this, in fact, logically speaking, with the guards of the county government now, the small people can't get close at all, let alone sneak in. What's more, this is also the official yamen, who dares to venture in? After Ding Yueqian said this, he led people to retreat outside.

This trouble also made Yang Chenda, who was resting and planned to come over to replace Ding Yueqian in the second half of the night, walk out of his residence. When he learned of such a strange incident, his brow furrowed, and then his eyes swept around the trees in the courtyard.

Ding Yueqian and him already had a tacit understanding, and when he saw his look, he knew what he was thinking, so he said: "I also took people to look around there just now, and there were no Tibetans. ”

"Really? Let's go over and see. Yang Chen was noncommittal, and walked towards the big trees located in the middle of the two courtyards. Although Ding Yueqian felt a little incomprehensible, he still followed.

After arriving at the tree that was the densest and most easy to hide, Ding Yueqian also picked up a torch and carefully looked at the crown and branches of the tree, and when he swept it, it was not only empty, but there was not even a trace of being trampled and climbed: "How about it, you can rest assured now, right?" ”

Yang Chen didn't rush to answer his question, his eyes were still keenly looking carefully between the branches, and after finding nothing, he frowned again, as if he had thought of something, his body suddenly squatted, he took a closer look at the ground with his eyes, and touched the fallen leaves under the tree a few times with his hand.

Just when Ding Yueqian was surprised and wanted to ask out loud, he suddenly jumped up again, climbed over one of the branches with his hand, and carefully touched it with his hand on the top and the few remaining yellow leaves.

"I said Lao Yang, what are you looking for? Could it be that just touching the tree can tell you that no one has ever been hiding here? Ding Yueqian pursed his lips and asked a little strangely.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen's expression was solemn after he turned over and fell back to the ground: "Yes, there may indeed be someone hiding here just now, and the stay here is really not a short time." But by the time you brought someone to search for him, he had already escaped. ”

"This ...... How is this possible? How do you know? Ding Yueqian suddenly asked in surprise, his tone still full of suspicion.

"As you said, it was the tree that told me the answer." Yang Chen smiled slightly: "Although this person was extremely careful and did not leave any traces on the tree, he still showed flaws. ”

"Flaws? Why can't I see it? Ding Yueqian looked suspicious and asked urgently.

"If you look at the leaves, is there any difference between this place and the rest of the trees?" Yang Chen patiently took a torch and gave him a hint.

However, Ding Yueqian obviously didn't have such eyesight and patience, so he still shook his head under the photo: "I can't see it no matter how I look at it, you better stop playing dumb riddles, just say it." ”

"Don't you notice that the leaves of my place are far less dew than elsewhere. If you can't see it anymore, you can still tell it by touching it. ”

"Huh?" Ding Yueqian found the direction at this time, quickly looked at it carefully, and finally saw some clues: "Sure enough, but what does this mean?" ”

"Tonight is even deeper, and the leaves are naturally covered with dew. Generally speaking, the dew will only dry up after the sun shines on the day, but now that the dew is suddenly much less, doesn't it mean that they have been shaken off by something? Yang Chen said with a serious expression: "If you touch the fallen leaves below, you will find that the leaves under this are wetter than those on the side, which is a clear proof that the top has fallen." ”

"You're saying it's because someone was hiding here just now, so the dew fell?" Ding Yueqian finally understood.

"Exactly." Yang Chen nodded: "But the black shadow in the Sanya should not be him, if my expectation is correct, the black shadow seen by the guards is not an assassin, but some kind of fast-moving animal, such as a cat or something." After all, it was night, and when they were completely defenseless, it was naturally impossible for them to recognize their true bodies at a glance. ”

"What do you mean...... The person hiding here actually released a cat to disturb people's eyes? ”

"Yes, and I found that the view here is just right, and I can see everything going on inside." Yang Chen said and jumped down from above: "This person's plan is not small." ”

"Who the hell is he?" Ding Yueqian immediately became vigilant.

"I'm afraid this person shouldn't have come from outside, but in the courtyard of my second hall." Yang Chen said his judgment thoughtfully, which immediately moved Ding Yueqian again.

At the same time, in the room, Yun Niang, who had calmed down, looked at Zhengde again and brought up the topic just now: "Lang Jun, what is your identity, can't you tell me?" ”
