Chapter 567: Infiltrating the City
The next day, he was discussing matters with Bai Qingze, when he suddenly heard several unusual birdsong outside.
"It's the signal I agreed with the dark whistle, there's a situation." After listening with bated breath for a while, his expression changed, and he threw down a sentence: "I'll go out and have a look." And he hurried out by the window.
Seeing this, Bai Qingze had no choice but to wait in the room. After leaving the room, he searched for the sound of birds, and sure enough, he found a man dressed as an ordinary person behind a tree.
This man is one of the secret sentinels arranged in the city to deliver the news.
Seeing the disgust, the man arched his hand and wanted to salute, but the disgust stopped him first, and asked with his eyes: "No need to be polite, I ordered you to wait in the city to wait for arrangements, this time you left without permission, did you find anything?"
The man nodded, and said in a low voice: "Our people found out that yesterday Bai Qi took people out of the city overnight, looking at the direction, he was going to southern Xinjiang."
Disgusted with hearing this, his expression became a little solemn, and he said to the man in a deep voice: "I know." Seeing that the news had arrived, the man said hello to the disgusting and turned to leave, and soon disappeared into the distance.
And disgusted, after a short pause, also returned to the room. Bai Qingze saw that he was tired of leaving, and hurriedly stepped forward: "How is it, what is the news?"
Yili walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, and told Bai Qingze about Bai Chi's departure from the city. "What do you think?" He asked, moving his gaze to Bai Qingze.
When Bai Qingze heard about Bai Qi leaving the city overnight, his face was also solemn, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Princess Ling relies on Bai Qi very much, if it weren't for some urgent matter, she would never send him out of the city in such a hurry."
Hearing Bai Qingze's analysis, he nodded and agreed. The two of them didn't speak again for a while, because they thought of a possibility at the same time, a possibility that made Princess Ling send Bai Qi out of the city in such a hurry.
"Something happened to the emperor." Almost in unison, they said this, and the expressions of both of them were extremely solemn. They already knew about the Gu poison mutation on Xiao Jin's body, and then contacted the news from the secret whistle that Bai Qi left the city overnight and went to the direction of southern Xinjiang, with their logical reasoning ability, it was not difficult to come up with this answer.
"The emperor's Gu poison has mutated, the situation has deteriorated, and Princess Ling is helpless, so she can only send Bai Qi to southern Xinjiang to find a crazy Taoist." Disgusted with the analysis, Qingjun's eyebrows frowned tightly, if such news is true, it will undoubtedly be bad news for them.
The two were about to discuss their next plans, when there was a sudden sound of something falling outside the door, and then, Ji Ketian pushed open the door and stumbled in.
It turned out that she came to discuss the matter of entering the palace, but overheard the conversation between the two, and learned that Xiao Jin might be in critical condition, so she couldn't hold back any longer: "I can't wait, I'm going to enter the palace now."
Yili and Bai Qingze glanced at each other, knowing that they couldn't persuade Ji Ke to tilt, not to mention the current situation, they were also very worried about Xiao Jin's situation, so this time, without too much discussion, the three of them unanimously decided to enter the city.
After sneaking into the city, Ji Ketian wanted to enter the palace immediately, but was strongly dissuaded by Yanli: "I know that you are anxious now, but we don't know anything yet, so why do we have to confirm that the news is true before making a decision."
After all, so far, everything is just disgust and Bai Qingze's speculation. Even if Ji Ke Tan didn't care, they couldn't let Ji Ke Tan enter the palace to risk in an unknown situation.
In this way, the three of them stayed at the inn first. Yili and Bai Qingze went to the teahouse to inquire about the news, but Ji Ketian was left at the inn to rest due to emotional instability.
The teahouse where he and Bai Qingze went was a place frequented by dignitaries and nobles in the palace, and it was well informed. The two of them pretended to be rich businessmen from other places, and deliberately made generous moves, and sure enough, after a while, someone came forward and said that they wanted to make friends.
In the name of small talk, Yili and Bai Qingze tried to find out the news of Bai Chi, but they got the answer that Bai Chi was naturally in the palace. It turned out that Bai Chi went out of the city, but it was just a secret operation, and these people didn't know about it.
"There's a problem." After leaving the teahouse, Yili and Bai Qingze looked at each other, and their eyes conveyed such a message. The more secretive Bai Chi's actions out of the city this time, and the more unwilling they were to be known, the more it shows that their speculation may be true.
On the other side, Ji Ke leaned around in the inn, unable to fall asleep, although Yili and Bai Qingze let her recuperate with peace of mind and wait for their news, but now Xiao Jin is likely to be in danger, how can she sleep with peace of mind?
Xiao Jin, you must not have anything. Thinking back to the last time they met, Ji Ketian bit his lower lip tightly. At that time, Xiao Jin still looked so well, that she relaxed her vigilance for a while, who would have thought that in such a short period of time, such a big change had happened.
Thinking about it over and over again, Ji Ketian finally closed his eyes slowly. But in her dreams, she always saw the picture of Xiao Jin suffering due to the mutation of the Gu poison.
"Xiao Jin!"
With an exclamation, this time she woke up from her dream, and she sat up from the bed, finding that the corners of her eyes and forehead were full of tears and cold sweat.
Just now, she dreamed that Xiao Jin's life was at stake, and said goodbye to herself with a smile. The image was so real that the heartache in the dream extended to reality.
Ji Ketian covered her chest with one hand, her face was painful, and a burst of panic gave her a very bad premonition. Rather than an explanation for no reason, she prefers to believe that this is a kind of heart-to-heart connection between her and Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin must have had an accident, so there was this way to remind her. Ji Ke came back to his senses, got up and changed his clothes, and ran directly to the disgusted room, regardless of the fact that it was still the middle of the night.
She can't take care of any danger now, she can't take care of any reason, as long as she can enter the palace as soon as possible and confirm that Xiao Jin is safe! Ji Ke leaned in front of the disgusted room, and beat anxiously: "Disgusted, disgusted with leaving......"
After knocking for a while, no one opened the door, so he pushed the door in confusion and found that the door was unlocked, so he walked in, but found that it was empty, and there was no tired figure at all.
remembered that he had said that he and Bai Qingze went out to find out the news, but he must have not come back yet. In desperation, Ji Ketian had to stay in the room and wait.
Anyway, it is impossible for her to sleep peacefully when she goes back to her room, so it is better to stay here and wait for the disgusted to come back and take her into the palace. Thinking about it, he sat down at the table in the middle of the room, and waited all night unconsciously.
