Chapter 117: Absconding into the city
The two looked at each other, and even let out a chuckle at the same time.
"Well, let's get down to business."
"Yes, when this matter is over, you and I will have a good drink."
The two of them talked and laughed, and walked towards Qi Changrong's courtyard with a relaxed expression, and the servants they met on the way saluted them one after another, but they couldn't understand why they were so happy.
When the next person came to report, Qi Changrong was pondering the map of Huangsha City.
As early as when Pang Lu fled with the six princes of Liangguo, she had already ordered Fu Xiang to blockade Huangsha City, and only allowed to enter and leave the entire city.
Therefore, it is impossible for Pang Lu to quietly take people out of the city, and he must have found a corner to hide at this moment.
In her previous life, she fought with Pang Lu many times, so she naturally understood what kind of character this person was, with his style, it was impossible to swallow his anger and suffer a loss, and he must have a grudge against him for such a big heel today.
As long as you take advantage of his hatred, you may have a windfall.
When the two came, they saw such a scene, Qi Changrong lifted the pen and went down, and Shi Chun lowered his eyes and polished the ink.
Childe beauty, red sleeves add fragrance, a good picture of the quiet years.
The two bowed their hands to Qi Changrong, and had to break the silence in the study: "The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
This study was originally dedicated to Pei Ji, but when he moved out of Pei's Mansion to live elsewhere temporarily, the study was handed over to Qi Changrong.
Today, it seems that nothing has changed, and it seems to be completely different from before.
Qi Changrong stopped writing, raised his eyes to look at them, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The two knew that Qi Changrong was asking knowingly, but they still pretended not to know, and just asked: "The six princes of Liangguo have been rescued, what does His Highness plan to do now?" ”
It's strange to talk about this.
Not only is it strange, but it also makes them quite angry.
They never thought that the six princes of the Liang Kingdom would actually blend into a small caravan, and they were secretly doing a lot of small actions.
What made Fu Xiang's heart feel the most chilling was that he watched a big fish escape from the fishing net.
Dajin and Liangguo have had a grudge for a long time, and the two sides have long been in a state of either you die or I live, originally this time, if you can find out the identity of the six princes of Liangguo as soon as possible and trap them, you will definitely be able to disturb the situation in Liangguo and harvest unexpected surprises.
"Don't you wonder who the person who rescued him is?"
Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows and smiled, but Fu Xiang said coldly: "The people who come are covered with black cloths, and they can't see their appearances clearly, even if they are curious, how can they know their identities?" ”
Of course, there is one thing that can be verified without guessing, they must be people from the Liang Kingdom, responsible for protecting the safety of Tuoba Sheng, the sixth prince of the Liang Kingdom.
Otherwise, they would not have preferred to fight to the death.
"There are only a few powerful courtiers in Liang Kingdom." Qi Changrong lowered his head and removed the ruler, picked up the drawing paper with his hand, and blew on it: "You might as well guess who will be walking with Tuoba Sheng." ”
Fu Xiang fell into deep thought, half-squinted and analyzed:
"The six princes can be easily caught, but they don't know martial arts...... Yesterday, he reported his identity brainlessly, and he was even more casual and dull, Emperor Liang loved him, and he didn't want him to be too messy, so the people accompanying him must be not low in status and strong in martial arts, and they can shock Tuoba Sheng at a critical moment......"
Halfway through speaking, he subconsciously looked to the side.
Pei Ji gave him an appreciative look and said with a smile: "What Master Fu said is reasonable, please continue." ”
Fu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "The strength of martial arts has been verified yesterday, and as for the identity, it is not yet known. ”
Fu Xiang is responsible for the security of the city, and he thinks that his fists and feet are not bad, although he can't fight against a hundred, he won't be beaten by others and have no power to fight back.
But when fighting Ryoto, he is always in a passive position, and if he is not careful, he will suffer.
And His Royal Highness's secret guards have no difficulty in dealing with ordinary Liangren, but when facing the head of Liangren, that is, the person who broke into the city wall, several people joined forces to besiege them, and they only temporarily trapped people.
You can imagine how strong that person's martial arts were.
After he finished speaking, Pei Ji looked at Qi Changrong beside him and added: "The identity of the people in black is not traceless, they are ruthless and experienced, they should be from the Liangguo military camp, and their position is not low." ”
The ink on the painting finally dried, Qi Changrong put it back in its place, thought for a moment and said, "Who does Master Pei think he should be?" ”
Pei Ji's face gradually became solemn, he pursed his lips, and slowly spit out two words in a heavy voice: "Pang Lu." ”
This is a highly controversial figure.
Fu Xiang was startled, and suddenly looked up at Pei Ji.
Pang Lu?! That ruthless general of Liangguo?!
After listening to Pei Ji's speculation, compared to Pei Ji's shock, Qi Changrong was calm.
She already knew that that person was Pang Lu, so naturally she would not be surprised.
However, Pei Ji was a little surprised that she could guess the identity of that person so quickly.
So, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why did Master Pei make such a guess?" ”
"It's simple."
The study was silent, and only Pei Ji was talking eloquently:
"Pang Lu has made countless meritorious contributions and has a very high prestige in the Liang army, and the Liang soldiers will naturally obey his orders willingly. Moreover, he won the trust of Emperor Liang, and the sixth prince Tuoba Sheng was Emperor Liang's most beloved son, and it was understandable that Emperor Liang sent him to protect Tuoba Sheng. ”
The martial arts are strong and the status is not low, which can make Tuoba Sheng jealous......
Thinking about it, in the Liang Kingdom, there is only one such character, Pang Lu.
"Master Pei's guess is right, it was Pang Lu who rescued Tuoba Sheng."
"Huh?"
Pei Ji was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness already knew?" ”
Then without waiting for Qi Changrong to answer, he smiled again, and said to himself: "Your Highness is smart, it is not surprising that you can guess Pang Lu's identity. ”
"Lone is not a guess." Qi Changrong said softly: "Gu has already received the news, and the informant said that Pang Lu is not in the territory of Liang Kingdom. ”
Pei Ji suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart dissipated: "I see! ”
Although the East Palace is here now, her eyeliner is distributed everywhere, and some news naturally can't hide from her.
Fu Xiang, who had already seen through Qi Changrong's essence, stood aside silently, he intuitively felt that Donggong did not know Pang Lu's identity after receiving news from the informant.
Pei Ji looked up at Qi Changrong, frowned slightly, and asked with some worry, "Then what should happen now?" Pang Lu rescued Tuoba Sheng, and the people who were making trouble in Huangsha City were panicked, if they were allowed to escape easily, our southeast land would become a joke of other countries! ”
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Pang Lu is ruthless, and he has always been retribution, if he succeeds in escaping, maybe it won't be long before he turns his gun and deals with the southeast.
Hearing this, Qi Changrong was not worried at all, and said in a calm voice: "Master Pei, don't worry, in a short time, they won't be able to get out of the city." ”
"I can't get out." Pei Ji paused, worried: "But we can't find where they are." ”
Even if the city gate was blocked in time and the city guards were sent to search from house to house, it had little effect.
Pang Lu is cunning and treacherous, how can he appear so easily?
The lock city can be locked for a while, but it can't be locked for a lifetime, and as soon as the city gate is opened, Pang Lu can take advantage of the situation to leave.
"That's not necessarily, Master Pei doesn't have to be so pessimistic." Qi Changrong raised his head and looked at Pei Ji seriously: "Master Pei, didn't you notice that there was one person missing?" ”
Pei Ji subconsciously looked left and right, and then asked, "Who?" ”
Qi Changrong smiled faintly: "Lonely's ninth brother-in-law, Yan Qing." ”
Speaking of this character, Pei Ji's eyes widened slightly, and he was speechless for a while, and after a while, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Didn't the Nine Horses go with General Jun to do business?" ”
The Nine Horses are too low-key, and when General Jun is there, the two of them often go in and out together, and they won't be unable to see people for a few days.
As soon as General Jun left, Yan Qing also seemed to evaporate from the world, and the dragon saw the head and tail all day long, and in the past few days, most people in the mansion thought that he had left with General Jun, and even Pei Ji had the same guess.
As soon as Donggong asked like this, it proved that Yan Qing's whereabouts were not the same as they imagined.
"Definitely." Qi Chang's expression was as usual, and there was indifference between his eyebrows and eyes: "The nine horses have been in the city. ”
Pei Ji wanted to ask again, but Fu Xiang quickly pulled his sleeve and shook his head at him.
Donggong obviously has something to say, so why should they come out to be suspicious?
Whether they ask or not, they will know what they should know, and they will not know what they should not know, even if they break the casserole and ask in the end.
Qi Changrong continued: "Before Tuoba Sheng was robbed, Gu ordered the nine horses to secretly monitor, and if Pang Lu escaped from the robbers, he would follow quietly, and leave marks along the road, waiting for Gu to send people to support. ”
Hearing Qi Changrong's explanation, Pei Ji instantly felt a toothache, looked at her expressionless cold face, and silently lit a wax for Pang Lu and the sixth prince in his heart.
Encountering such a consolation-savvy and calculating enemy was the beginning of their misfortune.
But listening to her words, even if she was as smart as Pei Ji, she couldn't figure out what she meant, and couldn't help but ask cautiously: "......What does His Highness mean?"
"They can't escape." Qi Changrong was confident, and smoothed the wrinkles of the drawing paper: "You come and have a look." ”
Pei Ji and Fu Xiang took a few steps forward, and their eyes fell on the picture on the table.
From the moment they entered the door, they saw that Qi Changrong had been fiddling with this thing.
I thought it was a treasure of everyone, but when I walked in, I found that this was actually a map of Huangsha City.
The corners of the streets and alleys, the red walls and green tiles, and even the dilapidated houses and temples, leap from the pen one by one, and the detailed portrayal is astonishing.
Fu Xiang was silent, as the head of the guards in the city, he didn't know that the East Palace had understood Huangsha City so thoroughly.
Qi Changrong wrote, with a sharp edge in his words: "The place circled by the red dot is the most likely hiding place for them." ”
Hearing this, Fu Xiang carefully kept in mind the few places circled with a red pen, and said eagerly: "Why don't you immediately lead troops to surround these places?" In this way, forgive him Pang Lu even if he has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to fly! ”
