Finding out that something was wrong with the grain and grass, Wen Qiao and Ling immediately set off to return to the capital without stopping for a moment.

It had been less than a morning since they arrived in Linzhou, and the two of them set off without resting at all.

On the way back, the speed of the two of them was faster than when they came, because Wen Qiao had a time in his heart, so he and Ling Yi could not rest without rest along the way, and the time to go back was much less than the time it took to come.

It was the morning of the third day when I rushed back to the capital.

Near noon, the gates of the capital were wide open, and there were passers-by inside and out.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual, and the capital is still the same capital it once was. The two rode through the gates of the capital without a moment's pause.

Ling Yi had been following Wen Qiao closely, and he had been silently following Wen Qiao all the way.

Wen Qiao's horse in front of him suddenly stopped at the end of the street, and the horse's front hooves were urgently pried up because of Wen Qiao's sudden action of pulling the reins, and even the entire horse's back was vacated in the air, but it soon fell again.

Seeing that Wen Qiao suddenly stopped, Ling Yi also stopped the horse in time and continued to gallop forward.

Wen Qiao turned half of his body, because he kept hurrying for days, his face was stained with wind and frost and dust, and the temperament on his body that was not eager enough added a few more layers of wind and dust.

Wen Qiao only glanced at Ling Yi and didn't speak.

Ling Yi had been working under Wen Qiao for many years, so he naturally understood the meaning in his eyes, and he took the initiative to ask, "Where is the master going now?"

It stands to reason that they have just arrived in the capital, and since the matter of grain and grass has been completely clear, someone is behind the ghost, Wen Qiao can actually slow down for a while.

After all, this matter can't be found out for a while, there are many various forces and schools in the capital, and if they don't pay attention to their actions, it will arouse the suspicion of others.

When the time comes, it alarms the person behind it, and the situation will be even more unfavorable for them.

And Wen Qiao obviously thinks the same way.

He nodded calmly, and then said, "Let's find a place to rest for a while, and then we'll talk about it later."

They kept hurrying all the way, and the two of them couldn't bear it even if they were beaten with iron.

There are all kinds of rare things in the capital, and there is an inn and tavern on the street, and there is one every few shops.

Wen Qiao and Ling Yi casually entered an inn on the street, and after asking for two rooms, the two of them went into their rooms to rest.

When Wen Qiao entered the room, the hot water had been prepared by the shopkeeper in the room, Wen Qiao took a good bath, changed into the clean clothes provided by the inn and poured heavily on the bed.

It was only when he got to bed that he felt exhausted, his eyes were dry and aching from long use, and he quickly fell asleep after closing his eyes uncontrollably.

When I woke up again, the sky outside the window had changed to a thick layer of inky blue. Wen Qiao fell on the bed and opened his eyes, and for a moment he couldn't tell what time it was.

He shook his head violently, forcing himself to come to his senses.

He changed his clothes, cleaned himself up briefly, and went to knock on Ling Yi's door next door.

The sound of knocking on the door was opened from the inside after only one sound, revealing Ling Yi's face with a calm expression inside, he looked at Wen Qiao outside the door and shouted, "Master."

Wen Qiao didn't say anything, he turned around, and then spit out two words in his mouth, "Let's go." ”

Out of the inn, Wen Qiao stood on the street with people stunned, Ling Yi naturally wouldn't spend more at this time.

Compared to Wen Qiao, he is actually more indifferent.

After standing in place for a few minutes without saying a word, Wen Qiao neatly turned around and walked forward quickly.

The two of them didn't ride horses anymore, and there was almost no one on the street at night, Wen Qiao and Ling Yi didn't care, and used light power in the capital to quickly fly towards the place they wanted to go.

The two didn't have to travel long before they stopped at a heavily guarded place.

It was a very wide area, with a long fence around the outermost part, and every meter away there was a soldier in military uniform with a spear in his hand.

This is where the Wen Qiao military camp is stationed in the capital.

The two stood outside the barracks and observed, and after confirming that the barracks were still as calm as before, Ling Yi followed Wen Qiao into the barracks with him.

As the highest general in this barracks, every soldier knows Wen Qiao.

The soldiers guarding in front of the improvised gate of the barracks suddenly saw Wen Qiao appear in front of him, his eyes widened and his mouth opened to make a shocked expression.

The soldier stumbled and shouted at Wen Qiao, "General, general."

Wen Qiao hadn't appeared in the barracks for a long time, and all the soldiers knew that he had suddenly been sent a mission by the emperor, and no one expected to appear here at this time.

"Hmm." Wen Qiao nodded lightly at the soldier with his hand, and then asked, "Where are the plums?"

Li Zi is the deputy manager in the Wen Qiao military camp, and the name Li Zi is not a nickname, but Li Zi's real surname is Li, and his single name is a sub-character.

The soldier replied, "Adjutant General Li is in the main tent."

Knowing where the person he needed to find was, Wen Qiao didn't stop at the gate of the barracks, he took Ling Yi to find the main tent, which was lit with a lamp, but he couldn't hear a sound from the outside.

Because of something very important, Wen Qiao directly opened the curtain of the tent, and at a glance, he swept to Li Zi, who was standing in front of Shating with his back to him.

Perhaps it was the sound of the tent opening that alarmed Li Zi, and he turned his head sharply to see an unexpected person appear in front of him, and Li Zi also looked like the soldier just now with a shocked expression.

He took two big steps, walked directly to Wen Qiao, and asked with concern, "General, why did you come back suddenly?"

The group of soldiers who were in charge of escorting the grain and grass had only been gone for a short time, and he didn't think that the matter in Fuzhou would be resolved so quickly.

Because there were more important things, Wen didn't spend more time with plums, he said directly: "There is a little thing." Plum, do you remember who came to the barracks last time to send soldiers?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Zi's face, but he still replied: "On the second day of the announcement of the decree that it was necessary to escort grain and grass, the official secretary came to the barracks to ask for someone. Originally, this kind of thing should not have been done by our people, but the official Shangshu told me that this time it was to help the general, and after some consideration, I decided to transfer someone to him. ”

Li Zi's answer was similar to what Wen Qiao thought before, although he had prepared in advance, he couldn't help but darken his face when he heard Li Zi's answer at this time.

Such a flawed lie, it's ridiculous that he was deceived.

Knowing the matter, Wen Qiao said directly: "Okay, I know." Lately, you can't promise him anything no matter who comes, without my orders. ”

Although Li Zi didn't know what was going on, he still didn't understand it.

And after Wen Qiao finished asking, he didn't stay, and left directly.
