Chapter 616: Sudden Confession (2)
Song Yi knew that they couldn't escape at this moment.
Instead of making senseless sacrifices, it is better to respond to all changes with the same, maintain strength, and wait for the other party to relax before escaping.
However, Song Yi was not worried about their own safety now, but wanted to know if it was because they already knew the whereabouts of the True King in Blackwater City because so many soldiers were checking in Blackwater City.
So, Song Yi asked, "Lord Huodu, I really want to know, how did you know that we entered the city?" Don't? ”
"Does the princess really want to know?" Huo Du smiled slightly, looking at Song Yi, his face was full of pride.
Song Yi nodded lightly and said, "We didn't delay all the way, and we didn't tell anyone." Not long after entering the city, you were told, could it be that you arranged for someone to be in Youzhou City? ”
Song Yi had long suspected that there were traitors in Youzhou City. Otherwise, the True King's plan to sneak attack the Jurchens was so secretive that he didn't even tell Gao Yunjin that the True King was ambushed halfway, and he must have leaked the news in advance. In order to find the missing true king, Song Yi rushed to Youzhou City from Kyoto, and there were not many people who knew that she came to Youzhou City. In addition to Gao Yunjin and his son, there are only a few generals around Marshal Gao.
Song Yi had just arrived in Blackwater City, and the Huo Du brothers and sisters came to the door, obviously having received the news a long time ago, knowing that Song Yi would enter the city today.
Therefore, there are all kinds of signs that there must be traitors in Youzhou City who spread the news from the city to the Jurchen side.
"Princess, are you trying to trick me?" Although Huo Du said so, the confident expression on his face also showed everything.
"When the princess arrived in Youzhou City, when she set off from Youzhou City and arrived in Blackwater City, Lord Ben knows very well. In order to welcome the real princess, Lord Ben also specially instructed the side card to let the princess go all the way unimpeded. Didn't the princess doubt it along the way? The smile on the corner of Huo Du's mouth was very dazzling in Song Yi's eyes.
But Song Yi also knew that she did ignore something.
It turned out that after coming out of Youzhou City. traveled all the way north, passing through the checkpoints set up by many real girls, but without exception, Song Yi and them were not subjected to too much interrogation. Even if someone asked, as long as Zhang De used the money, he was not too embarrassed to tell two lies.
Jiang Geng also raised questions, feeling that the two countries were at war, and they were very nervous, but the soldiers at the checkpoint were very relaxed. Song Yi wanted to hurry, but he didn't take Jiang Geng's question to heart.
Now, after listening to Huo Du's words, Song Yi finally understood that all this was arranged by Huo Du. He deliberately asked the people at the checkpoint to let them go all the way, so that they could reach Blackwater City smoothly.
If they were going to come to Blackwater City, Huo Du and they knew about it early on, did that mean that the news of the True King's presence in Blackwater City was also deliberately spread by Huo Du?
No, it's not. If it was really the fake news spread by Huo Du, the soldiers in Blackwater City would not have checked on the streets so much, and Gao Yunjin and the others would not have received no news at all.
Jiang Geng had already made contact with his people this afternoon, confirming that Xiao Hei had indeed tried to get in touch with his people ten days ago. It's just that I didn't know what happened later, and the prince and they didn't show up at the agreed place.
Could it be that the prince has been targeted by the people of Huodu? Or, the prince is already in Huo Du's hands?
No, it won't.
In an instant, Song Yi thought about many things in his mind.
Song Yi shook his head, if the prince was already in Huo Du's hands, then Huo Du and they would not be so polite to themselves at all. Even the real king has been arrested, who cares about the princess of the real king?
Therefore, as long as Huo Du's attitude towards himself has always been so respectful. It shows that the true king did not fall into their hands, and must be hiding in a corner of the city.
Song Yi knew that the one thing she had to do now was to stabilize the Huo Du brothers and sisters and prevent them from continuing to search for the true king. Give the True King a chance to escape from the city.
After Song Yi figured out what he was going to do next, he was at ease.
Huo Du kept staring at the expression on the real princess's face. When he told the other party that he knew everything about her. The other party's face obviously showed a panicked expression, then angry, and now very indifferent.
Huo Du has reason to believe that the real princess has already guessed the answer she wants in a very short period of time, through the clues in her words.
Huo Du had to be impressed by the real princess. After all these years, women are still so smart. She is always able to grasp the key information at the critical moment and speculate on the answers she wants.
Huo Du's appreciation of Song Yi deepened a few points.
"Brother" Lina has been paying attention to the conversation between her brother and the real princess.
Lina didn't know why her brother was talking so much nonsense to the real princess. As long as the true princess is in their hands, they will definitely be able to lure out the true king hiding in Blackwater City. When the time comes, they can offer the true king and the true princess to the khan. When the time comes, the Khan will definitely reward their brothers and sisters.
But Lina found out that her brother had been secretly revealing the news to the real princess. She even saw something shocking to her from the expression on her brother's face.
How could my brother show an appreciative expression towards the real princess, it couldn't be that my brother still liked the real princess, right?
Lina was shocked by her experience, she knew that back then, when their brother and sister rescued Song Yi on their way back from the Qianchao Dynasty. concealed his identity from Song Yi, just disguised as a businessman between the two countries. At that time, my brother liked Song Yi very much, and Linna remembered that she also saw her brother looking at Song Yi with an infatuated expression.
But she always thought that after so many years, her brother and Song Yi had become married. Besides, the Jurchen and the Qianchao are now open, and the elder brother is the chief of the guard, and he is in charge of the affairs of the imperial tent. It can be said that he is already a minister of the Khan's humerus, how can he still have such a ridiculous idea about the woman of the enemy country.
As a Jurchen nobleman, a close confidant of the Khan. Lina will never allow it, her brother is disloyal to the Khan. It is never allowed, and my brother has other thoughts about the real princess.
"Brother, what are you talking to her? Now, she is in Blackwater City, and she doesn't ask whose territory it is? Lina said angrily.
Song Yi looked up at Linna, and from the disgusted expression on the other party's face, she already knew her attitude towards herself. However, Song Yi still couldn't figure out why Lina was so hostile to herself from the beginning when she saw her.
"True princess, I'm sorry. Since Lina said so, I think you should come with us" Although Huo Du was a little dissatisfied with Linna's sudden attack, he couldn't find fault with Linna, so he could only ignore it and said to Song Yi instead.
Song Yi nodded, "Since Lord Huo is honest in the invitation, then I will be disrespectful."
As he spoke, he said to Jiang Geng and Zhang De beside him, "Don't waste your efforts. I'm afraid that there are already archers ready outside. All you have to do is do it, and they will be able to fire their arrows. Rather than die of suffocation like this, it is better to follow me into the City Lord's Mansion for a few days."
