At night, Li Zhipian cat walked out of the East Wing Courtyard, came to the backyard of the mansion, jumped over the high wall, hid in a big tree and stared at the hut

At the third watch, the wooden door of the hut in the backyard was pushed open from the inside, and two men came out, and Li Zhilian vaguely felt that the figures of the two people were a little familiar under the moonlight

Before she could think about it, the two men had already got into the carriage and left through the back door

Li Zhilian jumped down from the tree, dodged into the darkness, and saw the color of the carriage clearly, and she suddenly remembered that there was a person who liked to wear bright clothes

It seems that he should be the person entertained by the prefect, one is a merchant and the other is the prefect of a city, what can they discuss with each other?

The backyard was quiet, and the sound of carriages getting farther and farther away

Li Zhilian observed the route, dodged into the shadow of the eaves opposite, and followed the carriage

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the ground, and the Xilin City was empty, not even a dog barked, and the rows of houses were as dark as if there were no human beings

A black shadow flew by, Li Zhilian saw a flashing shadow on the ground, drew a short knife and slid back, and the black shadow turned over and slashed backwards.

Under the moon, she saw that the person who came was wearing a military uniform, and asked softly, "Who are you?" ”

The black shadow got up and stepped into the shadows, knelt down on one knee and said, "Weichen Shu Yihuan, knock on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess"

Li Zhilian asked: "Is it your ...... Lord Prefect?" ”

The black shadow said: "It's my father"

At this time, the carriage had already turned a corner and disappeared, Li Zhilian waved his hand at him, and the two of them quickly ran to the bend one after the other

The end of the bend happened to be the location of the West City Gate, and the carriage drove straight out of the city, Li Zhilian turned his head, looked at Shu Yihuan and quipped: "Father is going to ...... Collaboration with the enemy and traitor? ”

Shu Yihuan rushed out with a knife, Li Zhilian hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Shu Yihuan said with a sad face: "I'll kill him!" Go and persuade my father to turn himself in."

Li Zhilian stopped him with one hand, leaned over to look outside the city gate, frowned, and asked, "Why are the soldiers guarding the gate wearing the clothes of the officials?" ”

Shu Yihuan replied: "Father said that the reinforcements will arrive in a few days!" Tonight, let us soldiers have a good rest, and set up a dinner party to entertain us, but I didn't expect to send the traitor out of the city."

Li Zhilian waved his hand and said: "Not so ~ not so ......"

Shu Yihuan looked at her in surprise

Li Zhilian asked, "Is there any way to let me out of the city?" ”

Shu Yihuan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask something but didn't ask

Li Zhilian said: "I know the person in the carriage, he is a businessman, I chased him all the way from Lining City to here, I want to see what his purpose is"

Shu Yihuan nodded and said, "The back is where we rest on weekdays, I'll take you to change your clothes, and then follow me out of the city to patrol."

After changing his clothes, Li Zhilian muttered for a while and said, "In the past few days, you can help me pay attention to who else is out of the city, what is happening in the city, and your father...... If I can't come back, you'll tell him when Lord Shen arrives......"

Shu Yihuan stopped talking, and Li Zhilian patted him on the shoulder: "Xilin City will be handed over to you......"

Shu Yihuan nodded solemnly

When the officials guarding the city gate saw Shu Yihuan coming on horseback, they all lowered their heads and looked left and right, pushed each other out and asked, "General~ Why are you here?" ”

Shu Yihuan glanced at them coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "I drank too much wine!" Go out of the city and take a walk, and by the way, take a patrol."

The official bowed down and said: "In this special period, it is better for the general not to go out......

Shu Yihuan snorted coldly: "With you~ dare to stop me?" ”

The official hurriedly said: "Don't dare~ It's just that the adults have orders!" Didn't let anyone go out."

Shu Yihuan said: "Why do you think I'm here?" ”

The official turned his head to look at the city gate behind him, then looked up at Shu Yihuan, pondered for a while, and shouted to the people behind him: "Open the city gate"

Li Zhilian lowered his head and followed Shu Yihuan out of the city gate, the air was filled with a smell of blood, and he turned his horse's head and looked around, it was empty, and there was not even a fire

Shu Yihuan pointed in the direction of Xisha County and said: "Over there is the direction of the Western Zhou Kingdom."

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "You can go back by yourself!" As if he remembered something, he turned his head to Shu Yihuan and said, "That's right~ I'm still lying in the east courtyard of your house!" Go back and help me hide it for a few days, the longer the better......"

Shu Yihuan was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "How can I help you hide it...... Hey......"

Li Zhilian has already driven the horse away, she is too familiar with this road! In the blink of an eye, she and Su Yun met the three people of Xisha County

The moon was dark and the wind was high in the mountains, and Li Zhilian was driving at high speed under the cover of night

Suddenly, there was a sparkling fire in the distance, and she stopped her horses, drove them into a narrow mountain road, drove them into a wood, and silently jumped off her horse, tied her horse to a large tree, and jumped up to the trunk of the tree

She jumped over the trunk of the tree in front of her, getting closer and closer to the camp

In front of the barracks, several sentries were on guard, and a green carriage was parked outside the barracks

Li Zhilian frowned, this silver and gold is really a spy of the Western Zhou Kingdom, so Shu Liuguang is really treasonous?

The camp was very quiet, and after a while, a man came out of the tent and beckoned to the soldiers who were patrolling, and the soldiers quickly gathered at the door of the camp

Li Zhilian took advantage of the sound of the wind blowing in the valley and quickly flashed forward, and she saw clearly that the person who came out of the camp was actually Su Yun's Eagle Guard Qi Yi

He beckoned the soldiers to carefully carry a few bamboo tubes from the tent and carry them to the green carriage

After a while, Yin Wanjin and his guards came out of the tent, nodded at Qi Yi and said something, got into the carriage again, and turned back the same way.

Li Zhilian watched the carriage go away from the tree, took out the scabbard of the short knife and threw it towards Qi Yi

Qi Yi grabbed the scabbard, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the bottom of the tree

Li Zhilian jumped down from under the tree and asked, "What about Su Yun?" ”

Qi Yi looked at her for a long time before he said suspiciously: "Li Zhilian? ”

Li Zhilian nodded and asked again: "What about Su Yun?" Take me to meet him."

Qi Yi took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty hasn't arrived yet."

Li Zhilian said anxiously: "Haven't arrived yet?" So what are you doing here? ”

Qi Yiqiang smiled: "It was Xilin City that I led my troops to attack"

Li Zhilian suddenly froze and asked, "Why?" ”

Qi Yi smiled bitterly: "We Eagle Guards only obey orders, and never ask why"

Li Zhilian asked again: "Then what were you trading just now?" ”

Qi Yi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry~ I can't say"

Li Zhilian raised the short knife and said coldly: "I'm also half your master, aren't I?" ”

Qi Yi glanced at her in surprise: "You know!" ”

Li Zhipian said: "When Su Yun handed me the short knife, I felt very strange, why did I carry it with me, do you remember the first time we met?" You also changed your attitude towards me when you saw this short knife."

Qi Yi looked at her: "It's saltpeter"

Li Zhipian said: "Saltpeter? ”

Qi Yi nodded and said, "It's not medicinal, but it's for setting off fireworks."

How could this passage be exactly the same as what she said three months ago when she was going to the Shan Mountain Range to blow up the mountain to save Shen Zhitang, could it be that Yinwanjin also had to make explosives? But he's a businessman, why make explosives?

Qi Yi said again: "All the saltpeter used to make fireworks in the four countries came out of the Western Zhou Kingdom, and Boss Yin said that he wanted to make a large-scale fireworks display."

Li Zhilian felt that this matter was not so simple, there was Shu Yihuan staring at Yin Wanjin, she was waiting for Su Yun to come, raised her eyes and looked at Qi Yi and said, "Get me a dress that your soldiers wear, I'll wait for Su Yun here."
