In Cheng Liu's impression, Xiqiang's caravans have always behaved like this, and the people and horses escorting the convoy generally do not follow into the city, but find a nearby inn to stay, and then return to the place of departure.

According to historical records, it seems that these people are reluctant to show their heads, and there are many people in the city, worried that they will be targeted by someone, and they may cause some trouble when they go back.

But Cheng Liu suddenly thought of a question, there are no empty rooms now, except for the ordinary guest rooms that have just been vacated by the other door, but there are so many of them, how can they live?

Sweet Potato suddenly raised her head, and she seemed to think of the problem as well, and the two of them looked out the door almost at the same time.

Sure enough, after a series of footsteps sounded outside, the door of the opposite room opened, and then the sound of putting things was heard, and after a long period of noise, Xiao Er retreated from the room.

Sweet Potato closed the window and paced softly to the door, wanting to hear what was going on outside.

But it was especially quiet at this time, and after those people entered the room, except for some words when Xiao Er was there, there was no sound until now.

If he hadn't seen a figure passing by the door just now, Cheng Liu would have thought that these people had changed rooms again.

After the air was dull for a while, Cheng Liu retracted his thoughts and ordered the sweet potato to come back and pour tea.

In fact, Xia Cicada is on the side, but Cheng Liu has become accustomed to it, and it is a little awkward to change people.

As soon as the sweet potato left the door, there were three knocks on the door.

The people in the room looked out the door at the same time, and Sweet Potato stopped, turned around and asked, "Who?" ”

"I, Wei Yan."

Cheng Liu rolled his eyes and asked him to come in quickly.

"Are all the people below arranged?"

"Well, the shopkeeper said that there is no problem, but the stove burned at night will cost an additional fee, and the tables and chairs in the lobby can be slept."

Cheng Liu put his mind at ease, even if it was a servant, he didn't want them to freeze in the ice and snow for a night.

"And where do you sleep at night?"

Wei Yan scratched his head: "Just stand outside the door." ”

Cheng Liu smiled: "There is no stove outside, so let's do it, you sleep with me at night, anyway, you are also my bodyguard now, you have to protect me by my side." ”

"What is a bodyguard?"

Not only Wei Yan, but several people were a little puzzled at the same time.

Cheng Liuhao explained it, and finally made it clear.

And Wei Yan then remembered what he was doing when he knocked on the door.

"By the way, Childe, this is a letter left here by Miss Yuyoukui."

Don't think about it, it must have been a secret pile that deliberately put the letter here, and waited until everyone rested at night before asking the shopkeeper to hand over the envelope to him.

After putting down the letter, Wei Yan exited the room, there were so many people below, and they all had to explain before going to bed.

Cheng Liu opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was the intelligence of the hidden pile.

The letter mentioned three pieces of information, one is from the palace, Chundie and Qiuhong fought with the assassin for the first time, the other party was a eunuch in the palace, and successfully killed them, but their identities may have been exposed, and the queen mother deliberately wanted to let them withdraw from the capital first, but she was still hesitating and did not take the next step.

Second, Luan Tangshan had just caught Xiqiang's spies two days ago, and learned from them that there were many hooks lurking in Jincheng, but after a thorough investigation, there was still no clue, the hooks were still there, and the crisis had not been resolved.

The third is the news from Jincheng's dark pile, those two people are from Xiqiang this afternoon, but it is difficult to determine which side it is serving, but judging by the departure route, the dark pile is more inclined to the people Jincheng bought, maybe Luan Tangshan, maybe his subordinates, in short, it is inseparable from Luan Tangshan.

These three pieces of information are very valuable to tell the truth, but I didn't expect that the secret pile of Jincheng was also secretly observing the situation here, and after Luan Tangshan left, he immediately began to investigate.

Although it was not verified in the end, it can at least prove that Cheng Liu's guess was right.

After reading it, Cheng Liu directly threw the letter in the furnace, and said in a deep voice: "There are Xiqiang hooks lurking in Jincheng, and we will go to Jincheng this time, not only to get the military power, but also to find out these hooks." ”

Sweet potato seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "In Jiangxia in Jingzhou before, there were secret agents who reported back, and the hooks on both sides were infiltrating each other, but Xiqiang's hooks held the initiative. ”

"Is it news from the palace?"

Sweet potato nodded.

This was not strange, but looking at Luan Tangshan's face, this person is extremely feminine, and he should also be a person who is good at using conspiracy, how can someone take the lead?

It's so unscientific......

Cheng Liu rubbed his cheeks vigorously and continued to look at the map while lowering his head.

"It's only a few dozen miles away from Jincheng, if it weren't for the heavy snow, maybe we would have entered the city a long time ago, but in this way, it will inevitably give those hooks a chance, in this case, they can't sit idly by, maybe they will prepare on the road."

Sweet potatoes are opposed.

"Judging from the current situation, this seems unlikely, there are also our hidden piles in the city, although we don't know the movement of the hook yet, but at least a little wind and grass can be seen, the older the hook, the more afraid of startling the snake."

"What's more, Miss Yu has been building a spy network for so long before, and she should be paying attention to the situation here at this time, under her nose, there should be no such loophole, if there is really a loophole, the two of them will not do it in the inn today."

There is some truth to this.

But Cheng Liu is still a little uneasy.

"Anyway, let's have a good rest today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Xia Cicada pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in, mixed with large snowflakes falling on the floor.

"The wind and snow are still very strong, I'm afraid it will still snow tomorrow morning, and the horses will not be able to hurry."

Although I took precautions and added wool to the horses, after all, I have been walking in the snow for so long, and the durability is definitely not as strong as when I first went out, and I am afraid that it will be especially difficult to walk with such a heavy snow.

"Then we have to go, I'm afraid that the Xiqiang hook in Jincheng has already passed on the information, if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid there will be no initiative in the future."

In fact, Cheng Liu has never been, but the final conclusion can only be seen after Luan Tangshan's bright move, and before that, Cheng Liu has always been confident.

Wei Yan walked in again, this time with an extra bag of sweet potatoes in his hand.

"I didn't expect that there are also our heavenly melons in Liangzhou, it seems that the ideas of our son-in-law have spread to the north and south of the river."

Cheng Liu smiled, he was originally going to collect the map, but when he saw him coming, he pointed to the map again and said, "We are going to arrive tomorrow, do you have any plans?" ”

"Do you have the right to fight?"

"Why are you in a hurry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, what are you going to do after you first tell me that you have the military power?"
