Hearing Li Yuntong's worries, Chuncao said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, you just explained like that, the slave maid felt that something was wrong with this matter, and asked the guard in the back, so I asked him to wait in the flower hall for a while, saying that he had invited a doctor to come and see, and maybe the princess would be able to 'wake up' the deceased son in a while, and he stayed." ”

“…… I was going to return to you to see how to deal with it, but just as Dongqing checked it back, the slave maid asked her to greet her. ”

After Dongqing's "greeting", even if that person thought of something, he didn't want to warn.

Hearing Chuncao say this, Li Yuntong smiled: "It's a good job." Dongqing can find out what's wrong? ”

Just when Dongqing came in, she heard Li Yuntong's question, and hurriedly replied: "Don't look closely, there is no difference between weekdays, it's just that the people on duty in the outer courtyard have changed some fresh faces, not those people two days ago, and they look more fierce and gangster, those mothers-in-law seem to be quite familiar with them, go out and laugh and laugh, and talk about some meat......

She looked at Li Yuntong and said, "When the slave came back to greet the guard that Sister Chuncao said, she found that he was not a person in the army, and there was no nameplate on his body. ”

Each sergeant has his own nameplate, which is also a sign to distinguish their identity in case they die on the battlefield.

There were no guards around her brother who were not sergeants.

Obviously, the guard who came in the name of her brother was very suspicious.

Li Yuntong sneered, "Maybe it's not that there is no nameplate, but it was deliberately taken down first, so that if something happens, they can easily get out." ”

Hearing this, the previous speculation has all become true, although I don't know who it is and what I want to deal with them, but there is no doubt that the officials and bandits colluded, otherwise they would not even be able to replace the sergeants guarding the official office outside.

No matter what their idea is, it is the people of Weizhou Mansion who are guarding outside the official office, and this official office is full of their people, father and brother are cautious people, and the army has its own specific contact methods, even if they are all surrounded, they can get out, even if the entire Weizhou Mansion even has a reverse history of assassination, the sergeants who sent off their relatives this time plus the Tubo greeting relatives also have more than 4,000 hands, and they can always fight.

Those people didn't break in, but had the idea of tricking her out, but they didn't want to move too much.

Besides, maybe Li Yanzhi didn't know about the assassination, if that was the case, this place was not far from the government office, and there were messengers patrolling the streets all the time, what was the case, it should be too late to send a few people to forcibly break through and move the rescue troops.

Since they don't have the guts, they only dare to do this trick of stealing chickens and dogs, so she is very guarded here.

It's already night, and if you want to force someone out, what method will you use?

Set?

Li Yuntong thought for a while, and instructed Dong Qing: "You avoid some people, go out through the back door to my brother and father, and Vice Minister Gongtun and them, and tell them about the situation here...... Whatever happens at night, let them wait and see what happens, and be sure to take this opportunity to find out who is behind the scenes. ”

He turned his head to Chuncao and said, "You go and arrange more neat hands and feet, prepare water to pour this side of the inner door, and gather everyone inside." Then prepare the fire folds, and if there is a fire outside, burn all the watered outer rings of the courtyard. ”

Chuncao was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What is the princess doing, how can she set fire to herself?" ”

Qiu Feng, who has always been silent, heard this but said: "When the fire outside burns, the inner courtyard has already burned out, and there is nothing to burn, plus the surrounding area is drenched with water, and the house will be safe." When a fire catches fire in a grassland or forest, it is common to cut down some trees to prevent the fire from spreading......"

Chuncao thought about it, suddenly realized, and hurriedly ran out to arrange people.

Xia Yu has become accustomed to some strange ideas about Li Yuntong, but it was Qiu Feng, because the previous big girl Qiu Ye promised someone and couldn't go to Tubo with her, so she came up, and saw that Li Yuntong actually knew the method of fighting fires in this army, and couldn't help but look at her twice.

Obviously she looks like a delicate girl, but she inexplicably makes people feel tough and upright.

It was dark, and there was no hurry to wait, so they sent someone to invite them again, and this time even the carriage was invited.

This time it was not an ordinary guard, but Cao Zhen, who was in charge of this official office.

Relying on his identity, he went straight to the second gate, and said as he walked: "Her Royal Highness the princess has fainted for so long, why hasn't she come out with a charter, have you asked for a doctor?" What if this is going to delay Her Royal Highness's illness? As soon as the prince heard this, he asked the lower officials to come over and take a look. Hey, now that something has happened to the prince of the county, what is wrong with Her Royal Highness the princess, won't it make people die in a hurry! ”

As he spoke, he stepped into the door.

He stepped forward with one foot, and before he could land on the other foot, he felt something under his foot and fell directly to the ground, gnawing on a mouthful of mud.

The people who followed him hurriedly came in to help.

came in one by one, tripped three or four in a row, pressed Cao Zhi underneath, and chirped.

It was easy to get up, but Cao Zhi's mouth had already knocked out blood, two teeth had fallen out, his knees hurt through his thick pants, and his palms had been rubbed into the skin.

He looked up, and under the wind lamp of the second gate, there were two guards with knives, their eyes were cold, and their hands were pressed on the knives, as if they would draw their knives if they didn't agree with each other.

Cao Cheng wanted to get angry, but he knew that the prime minister's seven-rank official, the guardian who guarded the princess, might not be higher than his grade, so he had to arch his hand and said: "Two eldest brothers, the prince confessed, and ordered me to come and see Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Because it is the second gate, in addition to the guards, there are also two mothers-in-law who are responsible for passing the word to the inner courtyard, hearing him say this, one of the mothers-in-law laughed, "This lord, Her Royal Highness the princess temporarily lives here, even if the prince of the county and the prince of the world come, you must not enter, don't you understand this truth?" According to the law, if there is a trespasser, it is not to be killed. ”

Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and forced a smile and said, "Isn't this a matter of urgency? Now that something big has happened, Her Royal Highness the princess is unconscious again, the prince is anxious, and he specially ordered the officials to come and take a look, and I hope to give it a convenience! ”

The mother-in-law said kindly: "The adult is not a doctor, what's the use of reading it?" What's the big deal, the prince arranged that Her Royal Highness the princess is a girl's family, what can she do when she wakes up? The spring grass girl specially explained, let us keep the door watched, if we let the idle people wait to go in, we will eat and hang. Let you in, it's convenient for you, we people can't eat and walk around, please don't embarrass us, Lord Cao......"

No matter what Cao Cheng said, the mother-in-law always had something to stand in his way, and he had the heart to break through, looking at the two eyebrows with knives waiting for the guard, and they had no confidence.

Now is not the time to tear his face, in the end, Cao Zhen still endured his anger and took people away.

It was night, the stars were dim, and the moon shadow was shallow.

There is a long corridor in front of the house and behind the house in the courtyard where Li Yuntong lives, and there are many trees, if there is a fire in the summer, it is quite difficult to save, but at this time it is still early spring, after an autumn and winter, the old leaves have fallen clean, the new leaves have just sprouted, and the servants have been watered thoroughly, and the guards in the second gate are also arranged to ambush around......

It's not easy for the fire to burn here.

Knowing that the other party wanted to coax her out, Li Yuntong naturally had to stay here, she couldn't go out, but it was not easy for other people to come in.

Because she didn't know when the other party would do it, in order to replace her work, Li Yuntong lay on the bed with her clothes, but at the moment she didn't feel sleepy at all, she just hoped that the person who did it secretly would come quickly, so as not to make people always worry about it.

Thinking that Dong Qing came back and said that the prince of the county and the prince were indeed not in the courtyard, it was said that he was invited out by Lord Assassin Shi, and the people who were sent out again had not yet sent the news back...... Li Yuntong was a little worried.

At this time, it was late at night, there should be a curfew in Weizhou City, and my father and brother hadn't come back yet? Li Yuntong listened attentively, but didn't hear any movement.

Listening to this, she was a little confused, and her eyes gradually closed......

Suddenly, she was awakened.

There was a faint commotion outside.

The heavy courtyard where she lives is the innermost, although her ears are good, but even the sound heard here means that there is a lot of trouble outside.

It's so late, there's a curfew in the city, and it's her place of residence, who dares to make such a noise here?

Li Yuntong listened intently for a moment, and before she could speak, Qiu Feng and Dong Qing, who were on duty at night, had already turned over and sat up.

Because they had been explained before, the two of them didn't light the lights when they got up, Qiu Feng took a sword to protect Li Yuntong's side, and Dong Qing got up straight and pushed the door to see the movement.

After a while, she came back and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, as you expected, the outer courtyard is on fire, the fire is quite big, Cao Zhen asked to arrange people to put out the fire, he also wanted to break in to save the princess, but he was stopped and didn't come in for the time being!" ”

Because everything was as expected earlier, Dongqing's tone was a little excited.

After a while, Chuncao, Xia Yu, and more than a dozen palace maids rushed over.

"Princess, according to your arrangement, there is a fire all around the inner door, and even the fire is watered, and when the fire outside burns, this side has already burned out...... The big brothers of the guards are all guarding in the dark outside. ”

Li Yuntong said lightly: "When this side is burned out, let the people from the second gate let them in, and beat the dogs behind closed doors." ”

Chuncao and the others nodded excitedly and nervously.

They were either holding big sticks or kitchen knives in their hands, and everyone was looking forward to it, because they had been prepared, but there was not much fear.

Perhaps because of the use of fire oil, it didn't take long for the air to smell a heavy smell of fireworks, and even the room seemed to be a little hotter.

"Turn on the lamp, it stands to reason that we should also be 'woken up'." Li Yuntong commanded.

As he was talking, he heard someone knocking on the door urgently, and a mother-in-law guarding outside said: "Princess, there is a fire in the courtyard, and there are not enough things. ”
