Mr. Xia was tied, and the convoy of Shimen was bound to explode.

"The others continue to transport food!" said Xing Ji to the restless people, "It's none of your business, but if you want to interfere, it's an exception!"

All the 'soldiers' around the stone gate raised their weapons and stood ready for battle.

"It's okay, it's okay, you continue to send food, it's just a misunderstanding, you'll figure it out!"

After that, Xia Wancheng and the coachman left with Xingji, while Chen Yin and the three of them were taken to another place alone, without letting them have any communication.

Because of the prior appointment, Chen Yin and the others did not resist in the slightest.

When the escorting 'soldiers' saw that they were cooperating, they did not act rudely, but their attitude was a little arrogant. He followed Xingji's instructions and led them to a small wooden house a hundred steps inside the stone gate.

"You three stay here for the time being, don't have any bad ideas, it's all our people out there. With that, the man slammed the door of the hut and left.

"If we knew where that guy named Liang Ye was, we wouldn't have wasted so much effort. Chanyu sighed and found a chair to sit down.

The room was neatly organized, with many wooden benches and tables, and a row of cupboards against the wall with many dishes and kettles.

"This is probably where they usually take a break from their shifts. Chanyu looked at the furnishings in the room for a while.

Yingli also sat down, while Chen Yin was looking around the room carefully.

As Chanyu said, this was just a place for those people to rest and escape the heat, and Chen Yin didn't find anything else that could prove that this was a trap or something.

The squeak of the wheels outside the house was still continuous, and the sound of rummaging through sacks rubbing against grains could be heard from time to time. You can feel how tense the atmosphere outside is inside the house.

"It's not bad," said Yingli, leaning on the table, lazily, "it's hot outside, and it's not a bad thing to hide here to escape the heat, otherwise the devil knows where that summer evening will take us." ”

As time passed, the later grain trucks must no longer know what had just happened here, and some people said that they would unload the trucks later and go where to eat and drink.

At this moment the door of the hut was opened, and the 'soldiers' who had escorted them before told them to go out for all three.

"Are we free or are we going to be locked up?" asked Yingli.

Although this person did not answer Yingli's question, his tone was much friendlier than before: "Three of you, please follow me." ”

When they walked out of the wooden house, the grain convoy outside was still a long line, but these people were too far away from them all the way, like strangers.

The three of them were taken to an inn in the city, which, unlike Banyan City, clearly smelled of war.

"It's a really down-to-earth place. Yingli stretched and said.

The inn was almost empty, except for one or two tables of people, who were just immersed in eating and did not talk a word.

When the four of them entered the store, the shopkeeper glanced up, and hurriedly buried his head and continued to calculate, not daring to ask.

The 'soldier' took the three of them to the innermost room before leaving, and finally said only the words, "Please stay here for a moment." ”

"It seems that in the eyes of this person, our identity has become a prisoner and a guest in an instant. Chanyu smiled.

"But I still can't leave the room. Yingli said,

Chen Yin wasn't thinking about this now, he took out the wooden box in his arms and put it on the table: "What should I do about this, do you tell the people of Tianluozhuang, or continue to hide it, and then find a chance to return it to Xia Wancheng?"

"I think I have to open it up and see what it is and then make a decision. Yingli said as she picked up the wooden box from the table.

Chen Yin and Chanyu tried to stop it, but it was too late, so Yingli easily opened it.

"This ......"

There were three things in the box—three pebbles that could no longer be ordinary.

"Soul Jade or Xuanshi?" Chen Yin asked.

Yingli shook her head and held it in her hand: "It's just an ordinary stone." ”

Chanyu immediately took one.

She looked at it for a moment, then broke the stone in half, and there was no mystery in it: "What does this mean?"

"What's wrong with this, you don't know Lingyu Mansion, how can they hand over really valuable things to you and let you transport them. ”

The door was pushed open, and it was Heunghime who spoke.

She had changed back into black clothes, not at all as solemn as when she wore a military uniform, and she had changed from the inside to the outside into the appearance that Chen Yin and they were once familiar with.

"Miss Xingji, what the hell is going on?"

It seemed that changing back into this dress made Xingji feel a lot more comfortable, and she poured herself a glass of water with a relieved face: "Do you want to ask Lingyu Mansion what's going on, or what's going on in this city?"

Chen Yin glanced at the wooden box: "It's the one." ”

"Lingyu Mansion is just using you to probe the depth of the defenses we have set up from Rongcheng to Shanghu City," Xingji drank the entire bowl of water in one gulp, "On the one hand, I asked you to transport 'valuables', and on the other hand, I sent out a message that someone was going to smuggle contraband to Shanghu City. ”

"Did Xia Wancheng say it?"

"How could he have said," Heung-hee sat down and stretched her arms, "the two you replaced confessed before they were killed. ”

"But I heard Xia Wancheng say that I have rescued them. Yingli said.

Xing Ji shook his head: "They killed them, and the corpse capital is still in the prison of Rongcheng." ”

"We received a message a few days ago that there was no source, saying that someone would transport contraband, but coincidentally, the two people who were supposed to be in charge of the delivery were not low-key enough and were caught by us before leaving," Xingji said, "However, the people of Lingyu Mansion thought that they acted quickly, but they didn't know that as soon as the two of them entered the prison, they confessed that they would help Lingyu Mansion transport a box to Shanghu City, but I didn't expect that it was you who replaced the two of them." ”

"The people of Lingyu Mansion gave them to ...... Silenced?" Chanyu couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise, just like you, it's just a stranger found outside by Lingyu Mansion, how can you really care about your life or death," Xing Ji said this, smiling slightly, "However, the demon is one foot high, the road is one foot high, how can this surnamed Xia and Lingyu Mansion be our opponents, I didn't mention half of the forbidden thing, I only told Xia Wancheng that the three of you are spies of the imperial court, but he was frightened a lot, and hurriedly made a clear relationship with you." ”

"Then why don't you have a showdown with them?" Chanyu asked.

"There's no need, why a showdown, Lingyu Mansion needs to buy time, so it will superficially comply with us and provide food for Shanghu City, and Shanghu City does need their backup," Xingji said, "So, that's it, it's good to let them not go up or down, and after this time, they will have to stop for a while." ”

Chanyu's face suddenly sank: "According to what you just said, isn't it that Lingyu Mansion will soon find a way to destroy our mouth?"
