When the leakage room had just been reported, Zhang Ping stepped into the warm pavilion of the Imperial Palace.

The little fireman on duty saw him from afar, and hurriedly went up to him and stuffed a handstove for him:

"Grandpa, the emperor has already rested, and he ordered us to take care of it, so that grandpa can go back and rest early."

There was the sound of squirming footsteps at the twists and turns of the corridor, and after a while, I saw Cui Xi with a cloak on his arm and warm wine in his hand.

"Master, take a sip of wine and warm up."

Cui Xi poured wine for Zhang Ping, and the little fire man next to him took a cloak and put it on Zhang Ping, and the master and apprentice slowly walked towards Zhang Ping's residence.

"Have you done your business?"

Zhang Ping took another sip of wine, his tone exuded the smell of wine, and he slanted at Cui Xi.

"Apprentice, don't worry."

Cui Xi pinched his eyelids.

Zhang Ping looked around, "Let's go to the warm pavilion to serve, there is a little Xizi here." ”

The little flame man who turned on the lights to lead the way heard this, saluted and dispersed.

Zhang Ping handed the wine cup to Cui Xi, rubbing his chin and muttering:

"Today, King Yanling said that we were late in delivering the news that time, which allowed Lin Shifan to seize the opportunity", he glanced at Cui Xi, "Could it be that these little beasts are delayed on the road?" ”

"Master," Cui Xi denied without hesitation, "They have been trained for so long, and every time they are passed out smoothly." ”

Zhang Ping muttered again, "I don't think it's possible."

He put the black hood over his head, turned around, and said:

"I'll go and ask him, and you'll be in the room to support me, so that no one will find out I'm not there."

Cui Xi saw Zhang Ping wearing a black cloak and disappeared at the end of the corridor, suddenly raised the wine jug in his hand and shook it, grinning.

Zhang Ping's residence had already burned the brazier, and Cui Xi took off his robe and entered the cubicle with great interest.

Cooing, the restless cries of pigeons, and the flapping of their wings sounded in the room.

"Hah...... Woke you up? ”

Cui Xi approached a pigeon cage with an innocent and gentle look, as if he was a young child who had seen a close playmate.

In the cage is a gray-feathered pigeon with a round head and a round head, shaking its fleshy body restlessly.

Cui Xi shook the flask in his hand at it proudly, "You drunkard, you will make a mistake if you are greedy for a glass." I mixed two drops of wine in the pigeon feed that day, and you didn't use it like that! ”

"Shh......h

Cui Xi made a silent gesture to the gray feather pigeon, "You gluttonous and gluttonous, my master was suspicious just now." ”

Hahaha......

He suddenly laughed, and looked innocent.

"I think I'm going to get through it!"

*****************

At this time, in the harem, there was a remote courtyard.

A woman's angry voice sounded, "Didn't the Lord say that you should not meet to avoid suspicion?" ”

After being silent for a while, Zhang Ping said in a soft and hoarse voice:

"There's no way, our family took the risk to meet the nobles and confirm something."

The woman's voice turned helpless again, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's too risky for my father-in-law to come here so rashly late at night, and there are eyeliner everywhere in this palace." ”

She paused, and whispered, "Say something quickly." ”

*****************

The jade belt is on the third floor of the old tour, and the bedroom prepared for Huda is specially prepared.

Huda hugged the beauty for half a night, and had just fallen asleep at this time, and had a hearty dream.

Tuk-tuk.

There was an untimely knock on the door.

Huda was a little impatient, but remembering the events of the night, he quickly calmed down.

He patted the beautiful woman on the shoulder and motioned for her to stand down.

The beauty muttered a few times in his arms, but she didn't dare to linger, so she wrapped her clothes and went out.

I just walked outside the door and felt that something was wrong, didn't someone knock on the door? I don't see anyone.

Huda listened to the footsteps outside the door and walked away, so he knocked on the window lattice twice in response.

A moment later, the riverside window of the room opened, and a man in black jumped in silently.

Of course, he heard the noise in the room, and as soon as he landed, he sneered, "It's really a sin to disturb the adult Yaxing." ”

That being said, the tone was not apologetic at all, but rather a little mocking.

The man in black familiarly touched the couch, sat cross-legged, and touched the teacup to add a cup of tea to himself.

"How's things going?"

Huda didn't have time to pay attention to anything else, and then sat down on the other side of the warm couch by the bright light outside the window.

"It's a failure."

The man in black took a sip of tea, his voice very calm.

Huda didn't say much, only hummed, indicating that he knew.

He tapped his fingertips on the table on the couch, tuk tuk.

Although Huda did not open his mouth, the sound of the beating in the dark night knocked the man in black to the point of anger.

"Damn it," said the man in black indignantly:

"Shuntianfu said that the New Year is over, and the patrol defense must be strengthened, and the manpower of the patrol battalion is all scattered around the Weifu. It took us half of our men to reluctantly lure them away, and it was easy to enter the Wei Mansion, who knew that it was an empty city plan. ”

They were familiar with the way and infiltrated the Weifu in two ways, but who knew that they had actually entered the Shura Field.

Damn, the man in black scolded again.

He watched as the dead soldiers he trained were sprinkled with lime, poured with boiling oil, and stepped on the traps of the beasts, and everyone cried wolf.

It was easy for him to bring a few brothers into Wei Chengye's courtyard, but who knew that the crossbow was triggered just after landing, and this is not enough, the crossbow was actually fed with poison!

Phew, the man in black cursed in his heart.

Damn, it's also a famous family, and he actually used such a means to do it.

Shame, shame!

How can such a miserable encounter be mentioned to Huda, it seems that he is too stupid and incompetent.

"The matter has been lost, and the other twenty brothers are gone except me."

Both the man in black and Huda understood the meaning of this, and since they were dead soldiers, they would either die on the spot, or they would also bite through the poison hidden in their mouths after being captured and kill themselves on the spot.

Coo-goo-goo......

The sound of a pigeon came from outside the window.

Huda carefully opened the sash, took the pigeon perched on the wooden frame, and removed the thin bamboo tube that was tied to his leg.

This is the news delivered by the secret agent, and Huda realizes that the room is too dark, so he fumbles for the fire and lights the lamp.

He opened a roll of paper hidden in the bamboo tube, and muttered in his mouth: "Up, down, two, up, three, down, four......"

This is the secret word when they deliver the message, which means that the real message is hidden in the first word above the first line, the second word below, the third word above the second line, the fourth word below, and so on.

"People are not in the Wei Mansion."

This is the mystery.

It turned out to be a message delivered by an agent buried in the Wei Mansion.

"What kind of stupid thing are you burying spies!"

The man in black scolded angrily, this news has only come out now, what's the use.

*****************

It snowed heavily for a day and a night, turning the land white.

A group of peddler-like men escorted a carriage down the official road to the southwest.

"How about Qian Xiaoqi? Can it still hold up? ”

The thick cotton curtain on the canopy was lifted, and a middle-aged man peeked in.

Under the light of the snow, it can be vaguely seen that this person's dark and thin face is none other than the Lin Mansion's pro-soldier team, Huang Qi.

Qian Xiaoqi's body was hidden in the thick brocade quilt, his face was tired but grateful, "It's okay." ”

Huang Qi nodded, and took out a document from his arms:

"Go out at night in a hurry, this is the emperor's will, Xiaoqi has arrived in our Southwest Road Army, and it will be promoted to the general flag", Huang Qi opened the document and put it in front of his eyes, "My young lady asked me to tell Xiaoqi that the old and young in your family should be taken care of by the Lin family in Kyoto, which can be assured." ”
