Chapter 237: Re-entry to Stone City

On the other side, above the fish market, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and stopped in front of the skull wind chimes of the Dream Crane Tower. Jackal Feather untied the letterhead on the pigeon's leg expressionlessly, turned around and handed it to Gongzi Yu. "Childe, this is the seventh letter this month, and you haven't decided whether to return to the emperor yet?"

Gongzi Yu watched Yuan Xin practice his sword in the courtyard, and said flatly: "It's not time yet." ”

Jackal Yu frowned, and stopped talking several times, and finally couldn't help but say: "Childe, if we want civil strife in Southern Qi, we just need to take out Shen Wenji's letter and let everyone in the world know that no matter what conspiracy they have, they will be forced to advance, right?" ”

Outside the Dream Crane Tower, a middle-aged woman carrying a sachet turned around and entered the courtyard of the Dream Crane Tower. With a few crutches in mind, the middle-aged woman seemed to have turned into an old woman in an instant.

Mitsuchimu walked in with a cane. "Childe, there's movement in Stone Town."

Gongzi Yu let out a sigh: "It's almost." Let's move the people who were planted next to the Emperor of Southern Qi. ”

Guangzhimu put the cane on the ground and knelt down: "Childe can do great things." ”

Gongzi Yu sighed: "As long as the border can be pushed across the Huaishui, no one can stop the southward migration." We have lived and worked in peace and contentment in the north for too long, forgetting the natural disasters and the days when we did not have enough to eat. Only by thoroughly coming to the south and letting our people settle in the south can we truly have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Gongzi Yu said that he would go to the study on the second floor to reply to the letter.

Jackal Yu muttered quietly: "Isn't it already chaotic for us to expose Shen Wenji to Nanqi?" ”

After Jackal Yu finished saying this, the Light Zhimu, Ghost Qing and Pulsatilla next to him all laughed out loud.

Jackal Yu was laughed inexplicably, and only heard Guangzhimu say: "If the news is sent by us, Nanqi is afraid that it will return to the palace." ”

"Isn't that just right?"

Guangzhimu said patiently: "If the palace changes, the people in the palace will not be able to escape." But if it was discovered by Nanqi's own people, it would be difficult to predict the victory or defeat when the palace changed. ”

Jackal Yu was even more puzzled: "The chaos is also the chaos of Southern Qi, what does it matter to us?" Who is messy or not? In the chaos of Southern Qi, we took the opportunity to attack the border, and wouldn't it be easy to take Huaishui? ”

Guangzhimu sighed helplessly and said, "Jackal Yu, you are really still a child. ”

Jackal Feather frowned: "Why do you always say that about me?"

Gongzi Yu's voice came from the second floor lightly: "Jackal Yu, Ah Xin's recent swordsmanship has regressed. Be punished. ”

Yuan Xin, who was practicing swords in the courtyard, was stunned, raised his head and said aggrievedly: "Dad, are you wrong, I have obviously made progress recently." ”

Gongzi Yu glanced at Yuan Xin lightly, stopped talking to him, and ordered: "After receiving the punishment, I will go to Stone City with this king." ”

Jackal Feather's eyebrows raised unconsciously: "Childe, you have to go to such a trivial matter by yourself?" ”

Gongzi Yu said coldly: "You have been talking a lot lately. ”

On the other side, He Jingying had already left the palace. Xiao Zhaoye is not here, and He Jingying doesn't have to worry about someone finding out that she is not in the palace. She changed into the clothes of the guards and went out of the palace with Cao Jingzhao.

He Jingying joined Mrs. Qi at the gate of the city. He Jingying and Cao Jingzhao changed into the clothes of merchants, and it was only noon, and the three of them planned to enter the city earlier and hide in the city before the curfew.

Now that Stone Town is being investigated very strictly, Mrs. Qi has long been preparing to clear the customs and spies, and the three of them have not been hindered much from entering the city. As last time, the officers and soldiers defending the city told them to follow the main road and not the small road after entering the city, so they let the three people in.

The last time He Jingying and Xiao Lian entered Stone City, it was already night, and the surrounding wine shops and shops were closed. This time it was noon, and there was no sense of depression that I felt when I entered Stone Town last time, but because Stone Town was small and the streets were narrow, it was very lively. But if you know that such a small town with smoke is buried with mechanisms that can devour thousands of people, those peaceful appearances make people look even more frightening.

Stone Town is very small, so the buildings should be built higher, and the restaurants on both sides of the main road are built with three floors, and each floor is not large, which is enough to put four or five tables.

He Jingying, Mrs. Qi, and Cao Jingzhao asked for a private room in the restaurant in the middle of the main road, and asked Xiao Er to warm two pots of wine, serve four side dishes, and sit by the window. The downstairs is bustling, with people coming and going, mostly people dressed as businessmen and long-term workers. There is no arable land in Stone Town, and all the grain is transported from the surrounding counties, but because Stone Town is also an important town, there are many officers and soldiers stationed there, whether it is a wine store, a shop or even a green building.

Xiao Er brought the dishes up, and there was only a small plate of each. Cao Jingzhao's eyes widened and asked, "Just order beef for five taels of silver?" This is the Black Temple, aren't you? ”

Xiao Er smiled all over his face: "Ouch, guest officer, look at what you said, the things in our city are all transported from other places, so they are naturally more expensive." ”

He Jingying said gently: "This is better than good business, this business is done." ”

Xiao Er looked at He Jingying and smiled: "This son, you are the first time to come to Stone City, right?" ”

He Jingying nodded: "We originally planned to enter Beijing directly, passing by here to see if there is anything to do here." ”

Xiao Er explained: "This son, the business in our city is not something that can be done casually. No matter what kind of business it is, you must report it to Taishou, and you can only operate it if you get a spy. So don't look at our expensive dishes, in fact, the profit is less, and Wen Spy has to give money every year. ”

"When we just entered the city, we heard the guards say that we can only walk on the main road, not the small alleys, what is going on?"

"Oh, there's some mechanism in our city."

"Oh? What organs? ”

"I don't know." Xiao Er opened the window enthusiastically and pointed to a low bungalow in the distance: "Don't go here, and there is a place that looks like a place to live." ”

Xiao Er's finger almost divided the small stone city into two. They were located, near the end of the moat, and the one of Xiao Er's fingers was against the mountains.

Xiao Er said enthusiastically: "Three guest officers, you use it first, and the small one goes down first to get busy, if you really want to do business, you might as well wait for our shopkeeper to finish his work and ask him." The little one didn't know how to get the spy. And we are going to have a curfew at night, don't go around, I'll go and get the three of them ready for the upper room. ”

As soon as Xiao Er left, He Jingying pointed to the low place that Xiao Er pointed out: "This is the way I walked last time I went down with His Highness." Indeed, as this little two said, there were all organs there, and we almost folded in it at that time. There was a military camp on that mountain, and both chariots and people were most likely hiding in that mountain. ”

Mrs. Qi took a closer look at that piece: "That's basically the back piece can't go, how can they go by themselves?" ”

Cao Jingzhao stretched his neck: "It is basically divided into two pieces, east and west, and it seems that people can pass in the middle." ”

Mrs. Qi frowned and said, "That road looks very narrow, looking at the width of the left and right, it is enough for a car to pass, how can it be used as a passage for building chariots?" ”

He Jingying pondered: "Then since there is a mountain, there must be another way to transport things out from the mountain, without passing through Stone Town." This passage should be left for people to walk, Shen Wenji supervised the manufacture of these things, and it was impossible to go out of the city every day to go around to the back of the mountain. ”

"Shall we take a look, then?" Mrs. Qi asked.

He Jingying shook her head: "No need. There are traps everywhere in this stone city, and leaving such a road can lead directly to the confidential place, doesn't Mrs. Qi think it's too strange? ”

"What do you mean?"

"We don't need to look at this road, but the mechanism of Stone City has almost elevated the entire underground of the city, if Shen Wenji wants to enter the mountain, he doesn't need to walk the road to get there, he can take the tunnel."

Cao Jingzhao was puzzled: "Then in this case, where will the entrance be?" This stone town is built so narrow and chaotic, so at a glance, where can you see what kind of authentic look. ”

Mrs. Qi glanced at Cao Jingzhao obliquely: "This stone city was once designed by Tao Zhugong, how can you find the entrance to the tunnel so easily?" ”

He Jingying said calmly: "You don't need to look for it, this entrance must be in the Taishou Mansion." Otherwise, if Shen Wenji frequently goes in and out of a certain place, the goal is too big. Today we will have a good rest, and after nightfall we will go to the Taishou Mansion to explore. ”

Then He Jingying leaned by the window and leisurely ate the crispy peanuts in front of her, she hadn't left the East Palace for too long, and the crowded lanes looked particularly interesting.

In an inn opposite her, there was a small gap in the window of the Tianzi room on the third floor. Gongzi Yu, who was dressed in white, shook a feather fan, and the jackal feather dressed in black behind him just formed a pair of black and white impermanence.

Jackal Yu said: "Looking at the lip language, they seem to be planning to break into the Taishou Mansion as well. Shall we go at night too? ”

Gongzi Yu said coldly: "Don't go." ”

Jackal Yu has always been a man of few words, but during this time, Gongzi Yu's every decision was beyond his cognition, he was afraid of being punished again, so he cautiously asked Gongzi Yu: "Then Childe, what are we doing here?" ”

Gongziyu pointed to the person eating crispy peanuts in the opposite window with a fan: "Look at the people." ”

Jackal Yu frowned and looked at He Jingying, and the young man's mind finally drew a trace of clarity in these things that he thought were confusing. It turned out that she didn't use troops for a long time, and if she didn't shake out Shen Wenji's affairs by herself, she just gave the person opposite some time to prepare, so that she wouldn't be implicated in the palace change.

Jackal Yu finally understood the sentence "child" of Guangzhimu. But Jackal Yu always felt that Gongzi Yu's mind was really hypocritical. Jackal Yu pointed at He Jingying: "If Childe likes it, I'll take Childe over tonight?" ”

Gongzi Yu looked at Jackal Yu coldly: "When did this king say that he liked it?" ”

The jackal's tongue flashed and was almost bitten off by himself. Jackal Yu didn't dare to look at Gongzi Yu, and said weakly: "Okay, you don't like it." ”

Gongzi Yu knocked on the jackal's head with a wordless fan: "What is the king of Bingben doing with Ruotun in the mountain?" But if there is something else, this king doesn't mind knowing it as soon as possible. ”

The jackal feather turned her head silently, heh, good reason.
