In Wan'an City, Fang Qi, who was walking around the city, saw that the people in the city were running in one direction, and he was curious, so he grabbed a person and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The person who was caught by Fang Qi wanted to struggle but couldn't do so, so he could only look at Fang Qi with an anxious face and said, "Didn't you read the notice posted this morning?" ”

"Notice? What notice? Fang Qi asked suspiciously.

"It's over there, not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Oh, let go of me, the people from southern Xinjiang are coming, and I have to hurry up and run for my life. Grabbed by Fang Qi, the man shook Fang Qi's hand and ran in the direction of the back mountain.

"Look at it." Fang Qi glanced at the guards behind him and said.

When he arrived at the notice that the person said before, a hint of suspicion appeared on Fang Qi's face.

What did Liu Shaoqing want to do, how did he send all the people of Wan'an City into the back mountains. If it was said that it was to save the lives of these people, it was sent in as early as the beginning of the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, so why wait until this time!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something had happened that he didn't know about.

"Let's go, go to the City Lord's Mansion." Fang Qi said in a deep voice, turned around and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he walked into the City Lord's Mansion, Fang Qi saw several generals of Wan'an City hurriedly walking out. After seeing him, I also hurriedly said hello to him and left quickly.

Fang Qi felt more and more that something was wrong, asked Liu Shaoqing's location, and hurried over with his personal guards.

He had already prepared everything he needed to prepare in the past few days, and if something happened at this juncture that he didn't know about and affected his next plans, then he would lose more than he gained.

When Liu Shaoqing was found, Liu Shaoqing and the two generals of Wan'an City were grasping the map and studying something. As soon as he saw Fang Qi, Liu Shaoqing immediately put away the map and greeted Fang Qi with a smile, "Why did Lord Supervisor remember this chamber?" ”

Hearing Liu Shaoqing's words, the corners of Fang Qi's mouth twitched. Glancing at him, he pretended not to hear the mockery in his words, and said, "What is the City Lord doing here?" This map is ......"

Liu Shaoqing pretended not to care and rolled up the map and put it aside. Looking at Fang Qi, he said with a sad face, "Where is there any map, it's just some military books and atlases from the predecessors, find out and discuss with the two generals to see if there is any good way to fight against the king of Southern Xinjiang." ”

"I wonder if the lord of the city can come up with a good idea?" Fang Qi stared at Liu Shaoqing's eyes and raised his voice and asked.

Liu Shaoqing pretended not to check, shook his head, and said, "Alas! There's no good way to do it. ”

"When the military went out, they saw the notices posted outside. What's the matter, why did the lord suddenly remember to send the people of the city out of the city? Fang Qi pretended to ask casually.

"Isn't it for the safety of the people? If this king of southern Xinjiang came with an army of more than 100,000 people, it would be different from the previous petty fight. In case we can't hold it anymore, send these people away in advance, and let them save their lives in this war. Liu Shaoqing looked at Fang Qi, and the depths of his eyes were a little guarded.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Fang Qi saw that he couldn't get any useful information from Liu Shaoqing's mouth, so he only felt very bored, and stayed in the conference hall for a while, then got up and left.

After Fang Qi left, a general in the council hall asked Liu Shaoqing, "Lord City, why do you want to hide the matter of the Demon Cliff from the prison army?" ”

Liu Shaoqing looked at Fang Qi, who had already walked away, and said in a low voice, "The matter of the Evil Ghost Cliff is related to the survival of Wan'an City, and the less one person knows, the more chance Wan'an City will have to defend it." You all listen to it, this matter is rotten in my stomach, whatever the prince says, you can do it. If the people below asked, they would all say that they didn't know. ”

"Don't worry, Lord of the City, we have our own measure." The two generals in the chamber stood up and said.

Outside the council hall, Fang Qi, who had walked around the corner, turned gloomily and instructed Ah Bao, the personal guard behind him, "Tonight, you find an opportunity to steal the atlas that Liu Shaoqing and the others showed to this prison army!" This prison army wants to see what the hell they are doing behind their backs! ”

Ah Leopard nodded and answered.

That night, Ah Leopard wrapped himself tightly and quietly sneaked into the conference hall.

Carefully picking the lock on the door of the council chamber, he walked in. Looking at the place where Liu Shaoqing placed the atlas during the day, that place was really empty, and no trace of the atlas could be found.

Ah Leopard lit the fire fold and used his body as the light of the fire to prevent it from being discovered by the night patrol in the city lord's mansion. By the faint light of the fire fold, Ah Leopard rummaged in the council hall for a while, and finally found a secret compartment at the foot of the table. opened the dark grid, and the album that was hurriedly put away by Liu Shaoqing during the day was lying inside.

After carefully checking and making sure that there were no traps around the atlas, Ah Leopard took out the atlas and put it in his arms.

Restoring the dark grid, Ah Leopard turned around and walked towards the door. As soon as he walked outside the door, there was a slight noise beside him. The leopard's body shook, and he looked at the place where the noise was making. I saw a black cat staring at him with two green eyes, looking at him without blinking.

Ah Leopard's eyes narrowed, and the long sword quickly unsheathed, slashing in the direction of the black cat. The black cat didn't even have time to bark, and fell straight to the ground. A leopard stepped forward, put away the black cat's corpse, and quickly cleaned up the blood stains on the ground.

After making sure that there were no traces left, Ah Leopard breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Ah Leopard's body stiffened, and he only felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the corner. Holding the long sword in his hand, he cautiously walked towards the corner. When I walked in, I found nothing. After looking around, the gaze that seemed to stare at him before disappeared without a trace.

Leopard shook his head, laughing at himself for being too suspicious.

After finding a dry well, Ah Leopard threw the black cat's corpse into it. Then he took the atlas he found in the council hall and walked around before returning to Fang Qi's room.

Fang Qi was overjoyed when he saw that Ah Bao had succeeded in the album that Liu Shaoqing had read in the afternoon. He stood up and took the atlas from Leopard's hand. When he opened it, he saw that the atlas was really a map, just as he suspected.

It seems that there is no problem with his guess being wrong. This Liu Shaoqing really had something to hide from him.

Thinking of Liu Shaoqing's submissive appearance when he came in and was obedient to Xiao Zhihan, Fang Qi guessed that this eighty percent was Xiao Zhihan's or Yan Xi's idea, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart.

"Where is this map? This place looks a little familiar! Fang Qi looked at the map in front of him, touched his beard, and thought carefully.

Ah Bao looked at Fang Qi with a suspicious face, and said to Fang Qi, "My lord, this seems to be a map of the mountain behind Wan'an City. Ah Leopard stretched out his hand and pointed to a few places, and Fang Qi said, "These places, the little one has been there with a few other people before, and I have some impressions." ”

"Back Mountain ......" Fang Qi twisted his beard, squinted at the place where the red and black pens had been drawn on the map, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao overheard a few defenders of Wan'an City say that this Evil Ghost Cliff is the most dangerous place in the mountain behind Wan'an City. Not to mention outsiders who are not familiar with the terrain, even if the locals go, few people can come back intact. Ah Leopard thought for a moment and said.

"Is that so?" Fang Qi looked at the places that had been drawn on the map and muttered to himself.

Although he is not a military wizard, as a prisoner, he still knows a little bit about it. The markings on this map were very clear, and coupled with the terrain of the Evil Ghost Cliff that Ah Bao had just mentioned, Fang Qi instantly understood the plans of Liu Shaoqing and the others.

No wonder they still looked worried before, for fear that the army of the king of southern Xinjiang would come to Wan'an City. When I saw them today, they were all full of red light, and I couldn't find half of the anxiety I had before.

Ah Leopard on the side didn't hear what Fang Qi said, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say, my lord?" ”

Fang Qi didn't answer Ah Leopard's question, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and get the pen and paper." ”

"Yes." Ah Bao didn't dare to ask any more, so he went to the desk on the side to get a pen and paper, stood aside and studied the ink, and then stood quietly aside and stopped talking.

Fang Qi spread the map flat on the table and covered the paper with it. According to the lines on the map, little by little they were drawn on the paper. After a while, the layout near the Evil Ghost Cliff was completely painted on paper by Fang Qi.

After drawing the map, Fang Qi took another piece of paper and wrote dense words on the paper.

After the ink on the map and the letter had dried, Fang Qi took an envelope, folded the map and the letter, and put it in an envelope. He took the candle on the side, dripped it on the seal of the envelope, and pressed a small seal on it while the wax tears were dry.

After the letter was sealed, Fang Qi handed it over to Ah Bao.

Seeing Ah Bao put the letter away, Fang Qi said with a serious face, "You put this map back in its place, and remember not to alarm anyone." Then quietly send this letter to the old place for this prison army, quickly! ”

After the guard left with the map and letters, Fang Qi calmed down and sat at the table and drank tea. Gently taking a sip of the somewhat bitter tea, Fang Qi only felt that his palms holding the teacup were full of cold sweat.

If he hadn't found anything abnormal today, Liu Shaoqing and the others would have missed these actions in secret, I'm afraid he would have missed them. If his plan falls through because of today's miss, I'm afraid that the first one who won't let him go is His Royal Highness the Prince.

In addition, the anger of the defeat of the king of southern Xinjiang may also be vented on him. In case the king of southern Xinjiang was angry and made his letters public, and he was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, even His Royal Highness the crown prince would not be able to protect him.

Thinking of the consequences of not handling this matter well today, Fang Qi couldn't help but be afraid for a while. After being afraid, I am deeply happy.

Fortunately, he discovered something wrong in time, which made this matter turn around again.
