The next day, Shi Yunqing and the others followed Liu Zhen and others from Heishui Town.

Shahegouzi is three hundred miles away from Heishui Town, and is a garrison point of the defenders of the Northwest Army.

Since Xue Qi was able to take charge on his own, he let Xue Datong sit in the big camp on the side of Heishui Town, and he patrolled the garrison points of various defense lines once every three months.

From an outsider's point of view, this Xue Qi is capable and filial. But only a few people around Xue Qi knew that he did it for another reason.

Xue Qi's other garrison points were only a strip away, and although Shahegouzi was close to the border with Mongolia, Xue Qi built a special courtyard there and sent special personnel to guard it.

After Xue Datong came back this time, he was originally going to go to Shahegouzi in person. But because of the arrival of Princess Pingshun, the mansion needs to be built, and there are some things in the army that need to be dealt with, so it has been delayed until now. Seeing that the time for Xue Qi and Xuanyuan Fen to arrive was slowly approaching, he had no choice but to let Liu Zhen take someone there.

Xue Datong's order was for Liu Zhen to transfer Xue Qi back to the people around Xue Qi who had left Xue Qi in Shahegouzi, led by Yang Jian, and dispose of Xue Qi's courtyard over there.

The journey of 300 miles, if you are in a hurry, will pass in three days at most.

But because Liu Zhen and Yang Jian did not have a good relationship, he had the intention to let Yang Jian go to Xue Datong to eat melons. I also had three meals constantly, a short break at noon, and simply found a place to stay and rest in the evening.

It took six or seven days to get there.

Liu Zhen originally wanted to delay time, so although Shi Yunqing and the three of them rode mules, in this line, they were not slower than Liu Zhen and others who were riding war horses.

And along the way, the big drinks every night are naturally paid for by Shi Yunqing.

Shi Yunqing's side is naturally not without gains. From the words of Liu Zhen's subordinates, they learned that the courtyard on the other side of the ditch of the Shahe River in Xue Qi was abnormal.

Although I didn't inquire about the specific differences, judging from the fact that those people were secretive and Liu Zhen would be angry when he heard it, it would definitely not be a good thing worth publicizing.

Thinking about it again, Xue Qi can marry the princess, which can be regarded as the Xue family's high climbing. In this way, I can glorify the lintel, but I haven't heard any news during this time in the northwest. That means that after Xue Datong came back, he not only kept silent, but also issued a ban with his subordinates. What is Xue Datong worried about?

Now that Xue Datong has returned to the northwest for a month, he asked Liu Zhen to go to Shahegou to sweep away Xue Qi's traces there, what does it mean?

Maybe you will find the answers to these when you get to Shahegouzi.

On the evening of the seventh day, we arrived at Shahegouzi.

Although Shahegouzi is close to the border, it is also the largest town in the vicinity because it is a garrison area.

The military camp was five miles away from the town, so Liu Zhen, Shi Yunqing and others were separated outside the town.

When night falls, the night is dark and the wind is high, but it is cheaper.

Shi Yunqing and the three of them wore night clothes and quietly touched the camp of the Xue family's army.

It was also thanks to Shi Ping who quietly followed Liu Zhen and others when he broke up with Liu Zhen and others before, and it was also thanks to the fact that when Liu Zhen and his party entered the camp, it was dark at night, and Shi Ping found out where the courtyard they said Xue Qi specially built was.

This army of the Xue family army was under a mountain, and Xue Qi's courtyard was built on that mountain.

The foot of the mountain is surrounded by camps, and if you want to go up the mountain, you can only pass through most of the camp.

Connecting to the mountain, there is a relatively smooth path.

But three steps, one post, two steps and one sentry, the guard is very strict.

In such a remote place, where the army may be mobilized to fight at any time, it is a little unusual to have such a courtyard in the first place. This yard is not yet a barracks that the camp needs to be kept secret.

Secondly, such a posture is not something that ordinary generals can put on. Especially, the general's man is not in this place yet.

Seeing this, Shi Yunqing couldn't help but purse his lips and sneer, it seems that this time it is not a false trip.

He looked at Shi An, motioned for him to stay outside to answer, and then quietly jumped up the mountain with Shi Ping. Naturally, they wouldn't go that way, but fortunately, two of them were skilled, and under the cover of the night, a few jumps, stepping on the branches and leaves of the bushes and going up.

It is estimated that no one would have thought that someone would target the courtyard of the hill guarded by the barracks, let alone break at night.

So the further up the hill you go, the fewer people there are to watch.

After waiting for the top of the mountain, I saw a small courtyard appear in front of me. The courtyard walls are built according to the mountain, and they seem to be getting higher and higher.

Shi Yunqing looked at Shi Ping, and the two of them crossed the wall, and then went inside.

The courtyard has four entrances, and the building in the courtyard of the first entrance is very simple, that is, a hall. Shi Yunqing saw several of Liu Zhen's subordinates who had walked all the way. This is about the place where Xue Qi used to work and deal with things before, and in addition to Liu Zhen's people, there is also a small team of people opposite them.

Although they are both from the Xue family army in the northwest, these two teams obviously belong to Liu Zhen and Yang Jian, although the two sides did not fight and quarrel directly, they both glared angrily when they looked at each other.

There are no direct guards here, but apparently these people are here and act as guards.

This courtyard seems to have been built for several years, and the emperor has not sent anyone to inspect here in view of his trust in Xue Datong. And Shahegouzi is a lot more remote here, and even Xue Datong basically can't come, so it is even more impossible for other outsiders to come in. It should be the people in the barracks who want to come outside the courtyard and the soldiers who entered.

The second time they entered the courtyard, although there were no soldiers on the surface, Shi Yunqing and Shi Ping still sensed the aura hidden in the corner, the shadows.

The soldiers in ambush in the courtyard of the second entrance are also to prevent those who sneak in through the net from the outside.

What could be something here that was worth Xue Qi's painstaking efforts?

Entering the courtyard of Sanjin, Shi Yunqing and the others were even more surprised. There were obviously no guards in the courtyard.

In the dark night, Ti Qi stood on the courtyard wall, and the wind on the mountain was blowing with a little whistling. Looking at the back row of houses, there seemed to be no buildings behind them, and Shi Yunqing suddenly understood, then the back should be close to the cliff.

No wonder the guards under the mountain were strictly forbidden before coming up, and basically no one stood guard after coming up. If there is a cliff behind the yard, then there is nothing to worry about.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a faint wolf howl in his ears, and he shook his head and sneered. There are still wolves in the mountains, and it is estimated that the wolves in the military camp here will not dare to invade them, but if someone falls from the top of this mountain, there must be no bones left.

Whew, and another voice came, it was the sound of a woman crying.

Is it a woman's voice? Or does it seem to come from the last time you entered the yard?
