11. Prepare to enter the city

Before dawn the next day, the dark tide of Nanqi City surged.

Just after the end of the day, outside the queen's bedroom, Yan Wei urgently asked to see her. Yan Wei is the queen's own nephew, the eldest grandson of Yan Zhenqiao, the imperial historian, and serves as the squire of the military department.

"What's the urgency in this early morning?" Queen Yan Yiwei hadn't dressed up yet, and her face was lazy. Nearly forty years old, although she is very well maintained, she is still invincible to the passage of time, although there are no obvious wrinkles on her face, but after all, her skin is saggy.

"Please forgive the queen, there is indeed something important to report to the mother!" It can be seen that Yan Wei is very anxious.

The queen nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Last night, Weichen received important information, the princess of Tanglin fell off the cliff after escaping that day, and was rescued by a hunter, and she just contacted the prince of Tanglin yesterday, and will enter the city today. "Yan Wei has been searching for several days in a row, and there is no news at all, and now that people are finally about to appear, they must seize the opportunity.

"Is the news reliable?" the queen seemed to sober up for a moment, and her tone became serious.

"Totally reliable. The people sent by Tanglin had already arrived on the outskirts of the city last night, waiting to bring Princess Tanglin into the city with them. The Great Prince of Tanglin had also been deploying last night. Yan Wei didn't say a lie, the information he received was like this.

"Does the emperor know?" the queen's mind was racing fast.

"The news has been blocked by me, and it can't reach the emperor. "Yan Wei is quite old-fashioned.

"Where is Prince Xuanmu?" a few gleams flashed in her eyes.

"All forces have been summoned. Yan Wei felt a little proud.

"This time we have to make sure that nothing goes wrong, and if there is an accident, not only will he not be able to return alive, but we may also be implicated. "The queen is still angry about their last failure, she is not stupid, and the emperor is not blind. "Solve it outside the city, don't act rashly when you enter the city, you have to know how many forbidden troops and inner guards there are in the city now, but don't leave any handles. ”

"Weichen understands!" Yan Wei looked like something was going to happen.

On the way to the city, the prince of Xuanmu, Mu Sinuo, had already set up a double ambush and was ready for battle. The layout was so meticulous that he felt that even a fly would not want to fly by today.

Zhenyeol's people were divided into two teams, one team was in the city to respond, both of them were guards who came with him and a spy organization lurking in Dashenyue, and they were already very familiar with the situation in Nanli City. The other team was the Tanglin soldiers who came to the border to support, and the number was as high as 200 people. Arrived last night, before entering the city, after meeting with the people sent by Zhenyeol, he rested in the woods, ready to recuperate for the next day's fierce battle.

Lin Wanyan got up early in the morning and asked Taxue to dress her up. Looking at everything in the room that she had become familiar with, her feelings were mixed.

After Tyuxue finished dressing up, she handed Lin Wanyan a delicate wooden box, which contained some jewelry she wore on the day of the accident. Lin Wanyan picked a delicate jasper hairpin and gave it to Treading Snow, but Treading Snow was unwilling to accept it, and in the end, Lin Wanyan personally helped her put it on her head, so it was counted.

After breakfast, Lin Wanyan read a book in the study on the third floor, waiting for Li Muchuan to call her. She didn't have anything to pack, her clothes were already torn when she came, and now she is wearing what Xiao Yuwen asked her to prepare.

Seeing that it was past noon, Lin Wanyan still didn't wait for someone to call her. She couldn't sit still anymore, could it be that something had happened? Lin Wanyan stood in front of the window on the third floor and looked around, faintly uneasy. But it doesn't seem to be the same, it's just that there are fewer people around, and it's much cleaner. Yes, there are fewer people, and there are a lot less. What are these people doing, and why is it today?

Taxue had already been sent by her to find Li Muchuan, and Lin Wanyan didn't want to wait any longer, so she raised her legs and walked towards Lingmo Pavilion. Sure enough, there were many fewer guards in the Spirit Foam Pavilion. She entered the Lingmo Pavilion all the way unimpeded, there was no one on the first floor, no one on the second floor, and the third floor was locked. Xiao Yuwen is not here either?

Just as Lin Wanyan returned to the Cold Smoke Pavilion with a suspicious expression, Li Muchuan hurriedly came out of the Cold Smoke Pavilion with a look on his face.

"Girl, I've found you!" Li Muchuan smiled on his face.

"I'm not looking for you all the time!" Lin Wanyan stared at Li Muchuan carefully, his current appearance was completely different from what she had seen before, calm and down-to-earth, as if he had just done a big thing, but he was still immersed in it.

"Then please go out with me, and the carriage will be waiting outside." Li Muchuan didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to the door.

Lin Wanyan didn't have time to ask anything, so she could only keep up.

At the door, in addition to a carriage that was not luxurious, there were twenty or thirty men dressed in plain clothes, all sitting on their horses at the moment.

Lin Wanyan glanced at them, even if they were deliberately dressed in a low-key manner, they could not hide the cold air exuding from their bodies. Especially the eyes that inadvertently glanced over, which made Lin Wanyan's heart tighten. These are all masters of one top one, Lin Wanyan has finished his conclusion.

"Girl, get on the carriage!" Li Muchuan lifted the curtain for Lin Wanyan.

Lin Wanyan cooperated and got in, and Li Muchuan quickly jumped up.

Lin Wanyan was a little strange, shouldn't Li Muchuan ride a horse? What does it mean to share a carriage with her? But she didn't ask, lifted the curtains, poked her head out, and wanted to take one last look at this place where she had lived for so many days. She had never been out of this gate before, and she had always walked around in a regular manner.

From the outside, it looks like it's just an ordinary house, and it doesn't even have a plaque. However, it can be seen that this must be on a very high mountain, and at a glance the mountains and forests are full of clouds and mist overhead, which is very solemn and quiet.

"Girl!" Li Muchuan took out a black cloth from his arms.

Lin Wanyan turned his head and looked at the black cloth in Li Muchuan's hand, his face was not very good-looking.

"How offended!" Li Muchuan handed over the black cloth with a smile.

"Is that what Xiao Gongzi meant?" Lin Wanyan didn't know how to say this, and his heart was a little sour. She has a little selfishness, and she wants Xiao Yuwen to send her, but she is afraid that it will be very embarrassing. It's good, Xiao Yuwen didn't give him this opportunity.

"Don't get me wrong, girl, this is the usual practice here, even if the lady comes. "Of course, this is Li Muchuan's nonsense, Mrs. has never been here at all, and the women who have been there for so many years are only for her to step on the snow.

Naturally, others don't have to go down the mountain with a black cloth like this, because if they are not Xiao Yuwen's cronies, they can't go up the mountain at all, and if they can come up, they will be dead when they go down.

The main reason is that Li Muchuan thinks that Lin Wanyan is not simple, it is better to be careful, he doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

Lin Wanyan didn't say anything, consciously folded the black cloth in half and then folded it in half, blindfolded his eyes, and leaned over to sleep on the cushion. I wanted to ask something, but I didn't feel at all because of this black cloth, this person was in the same carriage with her just to spy on her, and expected him to tell the truth?

Li Muchuan knew that this aunt was angry when he saw her like that, he smiled secretly, didn't speak, and sat with his eyes closed. This woman who doesn't know what to do is still with such a face after doing so many things for her behind her back, it's just that she doesn't know it, so I don't care about her.

The speed of the carriage was very fast, Lin Wanyan couldn't sleep at all, she could feel that this section of the mountain road must be difficult to walk, there were many curves, the road was uneven, and it was very bumpy. She didn't know how Xiao Yuwen brought her back to the mountain at that time, or if he himself was injured.

She couldn't help but wonder, who was Xiao Yuwen, what was she saving her for, would he be implicated in sending her to her brother like this, or was this just a deal? It was a conspiracy from beginning to end, and she was just a pawn?

No, she can't doubt Xiao Yuwen, and she doesn't want to doubt it, after all, her life was saved by him desperately. The heart is sinister, she still hopes that her little kindness can be used on him, and she still chooses to believe that he is a good person.

In the few contacts, what impressed her the most was Xiao Yuwen's eyes, which were cold and bottomless, but she saw a piece of purity. This kind of purity makes her feel at ease like his hug and his kiss, which is also the reason why Lin Wanyan will not dislike Xiao Yuwen's "lightness" of herself, the purity of doing whatever you want like a child does not make people feel aggressive at all, and people can't refuse.

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped. Lin Wanyan sat up straight alertly, put her right hand on her sword, but did not tear off the black cloth on her face, she knew that Li Muchuan was still in the carriage.

Li Muchuan had already opened his eyes, took in her series of movements, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly jumped out of the carriage, followed by a girl with a large bag of things.

"Miss, slave green warbler, wait for Miss to change her clothes. Lu Ying put down the cloth bag on her shoulder, helped Lin Wanyan remove the black cloth, and then untied the cloth bag, inside was a set of palace guards' clothes, a hat and a pair of shoes.

Lin Wanyan covered his eyes with his hands and slowly opened his eyes. looked at the sweet-looking green warbler, the green warbler called herself a slave, but her clothes were extremely exquisite, and her headdress jewelry was also just right. Looking at the clothes prepared for herself, Lin Wanyan instantly understood in her heart.

Lin Wanyan changed her clothes, took her sword and got out of the carriage, while Lu Ying replaced her in the carriage.

She found that there were more than a dozen more people dressed the same as herself. Lin Wanyan looked at her clothes, they fit very well, they should be prepared according to her figure, and looking at this dress, it should be the Ouchi guard or the imperial guard.

Isn't he going to meet his brother, what are you doing dressed like this? How could Li Muchuan know the people in the palace, and please move them? Lin Wanyan had more and more questions in his heart.

Seeing Lin Wanyan get out of the carriage, a plain man soon led a horse. After Lin Wanyan nodded in greeting, he jumped on the horse and slowly drove his horse to the front.
