Yun Yao was talking to Gu Qingming, but she was unprecedentedly happy in her heart.

Fortunately, when he was in Ning Palace, there was no intersection between himself and Qin Yuankai, so he left a way back for today's affairs.

In the past, the Empress Dowager Qin intended to support the Qin family and suppress the royalists, so she treated Qin Yuankai and Gu Qingming differently. Qin Yuankai was sent out to earn military merits, but Gu Qingming was left under the nose of the Empress Dowager Qin, and he was idle to practice soldiers in the capital and run errands.

Because of this, Qin Yuankai had very little time to enter the palace, and Yun Yao served in the Yeting Palace at first, and later went to the Hehuan Palace, and he had nothing to do with Qin Yuankai. Even if Qin Yuankai occasionally returned to Beijing to report on his work, he would be invited to Jianzhang Palace by the Empress Dowager Qin, but Yun Yao would not be present at that time.

After all, Empress Dowager Qin didn't want the confidential issues she was talking about with her nephew to be heard by someone who was not considered a confidant.

All in all, for various reasons, Qin Yuankai only heard of Yun Yao's name and did not see him.

What's more, there is another reason that can make Yun Yao so adventurous, and that is her appearance. She is not a beauty, in the palace full of flowers, she can only be regarded as delicate at most, compared to Lu Yingquan's peerless appearance, I don't know how much, even the Jianyue next to Xu Meiren, and the red Xiao of the Yeting Palace are more outstanding than her.

Such a face that is not very noticeable can naturally make Qin Yuankai lower his guard a lot.

Gu Qingming listened to Yun Yao's words, and subconsciously wanted to object, after all, Qin Yuankai was not an ordinary person, he was the confidant of the Empress Dowager Qin, and he was also a general in Daning who could fight well, far from being comparable to those Beidi people who were not good at strategy.

The assassination of Qin Yuankai this time was full of dangers, and Yun Yao was just a weak woman who was powerless.

But before Gu Qingming could speak, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and Shen Che walked in from the outside, and agreed to Yun Yao's words in one bite:

"This king is worried that there is no suitable candidate, but I didn't expect Yun Yao to be so understanding, so with you and Qingming cooperating with each other, this king will be relieved. ”

The matter was settled, Shen Che's movements were very fast, and he found two soldiers who could replace Du Li and Hutchi that day, and together with Yun Yao and Gu Qingming, they disguised themselves as Beidi people and went to Xinglong County north of the station.

Of course, they didn't simply disguise themselves, Shen Che also found a master who was good at disguise, used some fat powder and tools, and slightly modified the facial features of several people, making them look quite similar to those Beidi people.

Xinglong County is the closest city near the south gate of the capital, if Yun Yao didn't come up with a plan to assassinate Qin Yuankai, if Ge Shuying didn't send it to the door himself, then Xinglong County would be the next place for Shen Che to attack.

As the gateway to the capital, Xinglong County's inventory is much stricter than other places, but with Shen Che's secret operation for so many years, it is not difficult to let them get in, so Yun Yao and the others soon arrived in Xinglong County.

Wang Ji, the county guard, is the person of the Empress Dowager Qin, and he is the lackey of the Qin family, so if you want to find Qin Yuankai, you must first go to Wang Ji.

The March night was still cold, the moonlight was faintly sprinkled, and the air was still full of hoarfrost.

The garrison of the county guard is very strict, perhaps Wang Ji knows in his heart that he, the county guard, is the mainstay of Xinglong County, if something happens to him, it will be easy for the Yi Wang army to attack it, so he guards his mansion layer by layer.

However, although this kind of guard strength can stop others, it can't stop Gu Qingming, he took advantage of the night, carrying a document that can prove his identity, and flashed into the county guard's mansion.

And Yun Yao and the other two soldiers were left in the room in the remote alley by him, waiting for the result.

Wang Ji hasn't fallen asleep yet, he is pacing in the study, his pot-bellied body looks particularly fat under the reflection of the candlelight, that appearance, people can't help but think of four words at a glance - brain full of fat.

Sure enough, he did not live up to his image, and not long after he left, he dragged a large wooden box from under the bed, opened the lid, and then took out some things from all corners of the room and threw them into the wooden box.

And if you look closely, the things he took out from the corner of the room were either silver tickets or gold, as well as high-quality night pearls, priceless jade and white jade, all of which were treasures that were hard to find.

While pretending, he wiped his forehead with his sleeve, obviously it was cold weather, but he seemed to break out in a cold sweat.

"Lord Wang, are you going to abscond overnight when you pack up your things now?" Suddenly, a clear male voice sounded in the room, which frightened Wang Ji's hand, and the lid of the wooden box clattered, and then it was covered.

Wang Ji trembled and turned his head, looked at the strange man in front of him, and asked tremblingly......, "Who are you?" What are you doing when you break into the official's mansion?"

Gu Qingming stared at Wang Ji, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he was even thinking that if it wasn't for the fact that there was something more important to use this Wang Ji, he would have directly killed him the moment he saw those gold and silver treasures.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

This Wang Ji is not a prefect, just a small county guard, not to mention that Xinglong County is the closest county to the capital, which can be said to be at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but this Wang Ji has the ability to collect so many people's fat and people's ointment, it can be seen that he has his back against the big tree of the Qin family, and how many immoral things he has done.

With Wang Ji's courage and official position, he would never dare to be so arrogant, so the culprit of this matter can only be counted on the head of the Qin family, and the reason why the Qin family dared to do this is nothing more than because their family produced a Queen Mother Qin, a Queen Mother Qin who was dedicated to planning for her mother's family.

Even though he was angry in his heart, Gu Qingming didn't have any expression on his face, he pressed the emotions in his heart, took out the document from his sleeve, and presented it to Wang Ji:

"On the orders of His Majesty the King, I followed Miss Geshu to Daning, asked to see General Qin, and asked Lord Wang to report on my behalf. ”

"Are you from Beidi?" As soon as Wang Ji heard this, he understood the identity of the person who came, and his hanging heart suddenly let go, and then took the document in Gu Qingming's hand.

After all, the Beidi people can't take care of Daning's affairs.

Wang Ji looked at Wen Mu and knew that the person in front of him was called Shuren, and there were four envoys sent by the king of Beidi to see General Qin, led by a woman named Ge Shuying, who was the granddaughter of the general of Beidi, Ge Shuying, and won the trust of Boer Bing in Beidi.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and after Wang Ji read a few documents and made sure that they were authentic and not fake, he said to Gu Qingming: "General Qin is not just anyone in the capital. You go back and wait first, it's arranged, and the official will naturally send someone to inform you. ”

"Lord Wang, when will I be able to see General Qin, please give me an accurate word. This time, we have come all the way to Daning, with an important task on our bodies, if it is due to Lord Wang's deliberate delay, and we missed General Qin's major event, don't blame me for not reminding your lordship. As soon as Gu Qingming heard it, he knew that this Wang Ji was deliberately delaying time, so he said half-threateningly.

When Wang Ji heard this, he wanted to be furious, but when his gaze swept over the wooden box placed at his feet, the anger in his heart suddenly suppressed.

Thinking about it carefully, he really didn't dare to delay General Qin's big event, because he couldn't afford to offend Qin Yuankai.

Now that the war between Ninggong and Yiguo is scorching, in Xinglong County and the capital, he can still rely on the reputation of the Qin family to gain a foothold, but if he goes out of this territory, Qin Yuankai will definitely not let him go, and Shen Che will not give him a good life, he will really hide in Tibet.

"Tomorrow. After thinking for a moment, Wang Ji said, "If you come here early tomorrow morning, I will take you to see General Qin." ”

"If you say yes, thank you to Lord Wang. Gu Qingming clenched his right hand into a fist, put it on his left chest, and saluted Wang Ji with Beidi's etiquette, and opened his mouth to thank him.

Wang Ji nodded, and didn't say anything to Gu Qingming, just watched the man in front of him jump out of the window, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

After a long time, when he was sure that the man had gone far away and would not return, Wang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned his head to look at the wooden box with the gold and silver treasures at his feet, and then went out the door, called his henchmen, and prepared to transport the gold and silver treasures to a safe place overnight.

As a corrupt official who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Wang Ji almost has an astonishing intuition, which is the perception of danger, and after he met Gu Qingming disguised as a Beidi person, he can foresee that Xinglong County will no longer be a stable place for him to collect money, and he must leave a way out for himself.

After doing everything, Wang Ji lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and he didn't know if he was asleep.

Time passed imperceptibly, dawn quietly came, and when the morning light poured into the room through the window, Wang Ji got up from the bed, cleaned up, and went out.

He hadn't forgotten what he was going to do today.

Not long after, Gu Qingming and Yun Yao came with two soldiers, and since Wang Ji was waiting at the door in person, the guards did not embarrass them.

Soon, a carriage came around the corner, and Wang Ji invited everyone to get into the carriage.

The carriage was spacious, more than enough for even four or five people, and did not seem crowded. Yun Yao kept her head down, lowering her sense of existence, and for a while, the atmosphere in the carriage was very embarrassing.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to feel that the carriage had stopped, Gu Qingming lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the situation outside, and said, "It's time to the capital." ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the soldiers guarding the city gate came from outside the carriage: "Who is in the carriage?

Wang Ji glanced at a few people around him, then leaned out and asked, "Do you even want to come down to check on this official?"

"It turned out to be Lord Wang!" the soldier saw Wang Ji and arched his hand and said, "My subordinates have eyes that don't know Mount Tai, please forgive me my sins." Release—"

With the soldier's words, the carriage continued to move forward, avoiding the inspection of the guards, and successfully took Gu Qingming and Yun Yao into the south gate of the capital.

It wasn't until the carriage completely entered the city that Yun Yao raised her head slightly, lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, and there was a feeling of being in a different world.

In the past, when she left the capital of Daning, it was also a carriage, hiding her identity and covering her face, and no one knew that she was Yun Yao. Now, after a few years, I have stepped here again, and I have revisited the old place, which is also a carriage, hiding my face and not knowing my identity.
