Early the next morning, Li Di went out dressed up alone, he told his wife Jiang Yinyin that he was going into the mountains to collect local products, but he deliberately did not take Li Biao with him, and he quietly disappeared into the reckless mountains after packing up.

Li Biao heard the sound and knew that this was the second brother who was about to act. But he was very puzzled, in the past, his younger brother was indispensable for the brothers to do anything, but now they deliberately let him stay, obviously because he wanted to hide something from him.

However, Li Biao was not in a hurry, he had already thought in his heart that he would definitely find out about the mysterious person he saw in the teahouse.

It's a pity that this time the brothers are not doing things side by side together, at this time, the brothers who have always been like shadows have their own hearts and minds.

Li Di wanted to see how his eldest brother was doing in the past few years of separation, whether he was safe and sound, and he also wanted to persuade his eldest brother to come home, but he didn't want his family to know about these things.

Li Biao wanted to take this opportunity to find out what he wanted to know, just to confirm the identity of the mysterious person.

The two brothers had their own thoughts and went out of the house tacitly. Of course, Li Di had already left home first, and he didn't call his younger brother, which meant that he couldn't be clearer, and there were some things he still didn't want Li Biao to know.

Li Biao naturally understood the second brother's distress, and if he wanted to know the truth of the matter, it was only possible to find out when the second brother was completely defenseless, which was a fact he had verified yesterday. So he was also going to secretly follow the second brother out, so that it would be possible to find out what he wanted to know.

Hearing that the second brother went out of the mountain, Li Biao was willing to lag behind, and besides, he had already seen yesterday that the second brother always looked preoccupied when talking to him, and he already knew three points in his heart at that time. The second brother really has something to hide from himself, this time as long as he quietly follows the second brother, he doesn't believe that he can't make a ugly man!

Li Di was walking in front, he thought to himself, over the years, the days of war and chaos are really terrifying, almost everyone lives in a dire environment, and people are living such a frightened life every day.

It's a pity that today's world is full of treacherous clouds, and even some things in the world are hesitant and chaotic, making it difficult to distinguish between good and evil. In such a confusing world, he thinks that as an ordinary person, he should not care about the grievances and hatreds in the world, right and wrong, beauty and ugliness. He thought that he must persuade his eldest brother to come home this time, he didn't want his eldest brother to make a mistake in this unpredictable environment.

Li Di turned around from time to time to look behind him, after all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and he always felt that someone seemed to be following him, but every time he turned around to look, it was just a breeze rising and the shadows of the trees swaying. He shook his head and sighed softly every time, most likely because of his own psychological effect, he kept running towards the East City Gate, he knew that the Wang Shopkeeper's teahouse was on Shihu Street at the East City Gate.

Li Biao followed like this, and he didn't want his second brother to know that he was not resting at home, but had been following him, because if he let the second brother know his whereabouts, then he would become a blind man lighting a lamp in order to find out the identity of the mysterious person - in vain, so he could only follow from afar.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the gate of the East City, Li Biao saw his second brother go straight to the Wangji Teahouse, Li Biao ascended to the city from the inner city gate, and looked at his second brother on the battlements.

The east city gate is a main city gate built on the side of the Xingshui River, the city walls are built along the river, facing the city gate is an old stone arch bridge built during the Kangxi period, on the bridge deck more than three meters wide, there is a wooden fence horizontally, only on the left side is left a mouth that allows one person to enter and exit, it is convenient for people to walk in the city, and the exit on the right has been blocked, and Xiao Jiayu's regiment is guarded with live ammunition.

Li Biao knew that this was Xiao Jiayu's order, saying that in order to prevent banditry and block materials, they would conduct a thorough search of every citizen who left the city, that is, they would not let the people take out a grain of grain or salt from the city, and if the people really needed it at home, they could only carry a small amount of materials out of the city, and they also had to have a certificate of household registration of the chief of the security guard.

But if you bring supplies into the city, they generally don't make a detailed investigation, which is what they call "only in but not out", and the people only complain and suffer for this reason.

At that time, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and it was already three poles in the sun, and the people who entered the city were walking towards the city in an endless stream, and the group members who were guarding the city were also talking about those yellow jokes that only they were interested in.

The water in the Xingshui River has risen a lot, there are a lot of reed branches floating on the wide river, mixed with a lot of garbage and debris, and a few sections of wooden rafts are running down the river carelessly, because the rope is tied, the water is not very fast, and the turbid river is pushing it to the distance downstream of Xingshui.

It seems that it must have rained again last night in the mountains upstream, and it was still raining quite heavily, and when you look at the muddy water, and the reeds and garbage that are not usually there, or a few scattered logs, you can tell that the river is rising.

On the right side of the East City Gate is a small street called Shihu Street, which is a place in the city that specializes in sustenances, and because it is very popular, there are several teahouses in the mix. Wang Ji Teahouse is the most famous teahouse on this street, and the villagers who usually go to the city always like to go to this secluded place to drink hot tea and rest their feet.

Li Biao was lying on the battlements and watching, his position was a stone's throw away from the teahouse, and the narrow Shihu Street was already crowded with bustling people. He saw his second brother enter the Wang Ji Teahouse, and he hadn't come out for a while, and he was thinking in his heart that the second brother must have been asking the shopkeeper Wang, why didn't he take the opportunity to go in, if the second brother was talking to the shopkeeper Wang, and he suddenly appeared in front of them, there was no need for the second brother to hide him. Because he can be there when they speak, it means that he must know a lot. And this is something that outsiders can know, how can the second brother be embarrassed to hide it from his own brother.

Li Biao thought about this, and he was relieved in his heart, and the things that had been entangled with him for several days were about to be cleared, and he also had a premonition that the mysterious person who took him to visit Shangyi Temple at night must have an inseparable relationship with him, otherwise his second brother would not have been able to take him out to mess around that day.

Li Biao got up from the battlements, dusted off his clothes, and was about to go down the city wall to the Wangji Teahouse, but saw a middle-aged man carrying a bamboo pole on his shoulder and naked rushing out of the teahouse. Out of the teahouse, he ran wildly in the narrow street, and in the blink of an eye, the man had already rushed to the gate of the east city, looking at the passage into the city and running out of the city, and at the same time shouted loudly in his mouth: "Everyone let go!" My raft is falling apart! ”

Li Biao looked at the distant back in a daze, and he could see that it was the king's shopkeeper who went out of the city like this, and the regiments who guarded the city were also stupid to let him go out of the city.
