Early morning.

The sun is shining and the breeze is cool.

Qin Huaidao was woken up by the sound of birds, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a delicate face in front of him, and the watery eyes on his face were full of affection, and his heart moved, holding a delicate body in his arms, and said with a smile: "Sleep with me for a while." ”

"Hmm!" A soft voice, infinitely shy.

The lover is in his arms, his heart is stirring, and he embraces the whole world, all the efforts are worth it, but when he thinks that He'er is still suffering, his heart is moving for a while, and he looks at Li Xueyan and says apologetically: "Yan'er, I'm sorry." ”

"Don't, family, don't say you're sorry." Li Xueyan covered Qin Huaidao's mouth, and immediately retracted into Qin Huaidao's arms, hating that she couldn't integrate herself into it and become one, thinking of separating again, she felt a faint pain in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't stay, and He'er was still suffering.

The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats and love.

After a while, the two got up tacitly and dressed neatly, Qin Huaidao suddenly thought of something, and said solemnly: "There are a lot of things to deal with today, there are three things you can remember and go back to do it." ”

"You say." Li Xueyan cleaned up her reluctance and became serious.

"The first thing, I put five million taels of silver in Shen Mei last night, and more than 100 people died in the escort who went to Haizhou with Wei Chi Baolin, all of whom are the generals of Wei Chi Mansion, so you contact General Wei Chi Gong to see how much the pension is, and come out of here, let Shen Mei increase manpower, expand the coverage of the intelligence network, and control the situation of all state capitals in the entire Tang Dynasty, and notify me at any time if you choose the important one." Qin Huaidao solemnly admonished and handed over the list.

"I'll arrange someone to do it in a while, five million taels is a lot, it should be enough, but if you want to inform you at any time, you must arrange someone to follow, or let Xiaoyu follow you, she is good at raising pigeons, and is currently responsible for information transmission." Li Xueyan solemnly agreed and put the list away.

Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said, "No, it's too dangerous to go deep into the grassland to save people, it's not appropriate for girls to follow, and you also need people here." ”

"Then there is only my brother Li Jingheng, although I can't talk about both literature and martial arts, and Lang Jun can't compare, but it's not a big problem to go to the grassland, I can rest assured, and the means of carrier pigeons are still taught to me, after my father is free, my brother is demoted to idle jobs, and it may be difficult to be promoted in this life."

"It's a good candidate, but you have to discuss it with your father, if it doesn't work, just find one, I'll teach you a set of methods for encrypting letters, even if others see it, it's not clear, so don't worry about exposure, you can also use this method to pass it on to Shen Mei and other trustworthy people."

"And this kind of means, teach me quickly." Li Xueyan's eyes lit up.

Qin Huaidao took Li Xueyan to the study, picked up a copy of "Mencius" and opened it, then picked up a pen and wrote a line of Arabic numerals, explaining: "Yan'er, the first two numbers represent the page number, that is, the number of pages, for example, the first page is represented by 01, the middle two numbers represent the first few lines, and the last three numbers represent the first few words. ”

After speaking, Qin Huaidao wrote a few sets of numbers, Li Xueyan Bingxue was smart, a little bit of it was thorough, and quickly translated it, and he was immediately overjoyed, and said excitedly: "There are few people who know this number, plus the number replaces, there is no need to worry about leaking secrets, no one can understand it, even if you understand what's going on, as long as you don't know which book, you still can't translate it, Lang Jun is talented, this method can be thought of, it's amazing." ”

"Once it is leaked, you can replace the book, others still can't translate it accurately, you choose a reliable person to master this method, and be responsible for translation, as for your brother, if you want, come to Jiaohe City to find me, if not, just send someone to deliver the letter, I will translate it myself."

"Okay, I'll ask my father and brother when I go back, and tell me your second thing?" Li Xueyan promised that with the encryption method, she was not afraid of leakage at all, and she was not afraid of the disloyalty of the person who sent the letter.

"Let people send messages to caravans from all walks of life, and if you are willing to come, bring someone to Jiaohe City secretly to help rescue He'er, it's okay if it's inconvenient, continue to run the caravan, don't force it, after all, it's a private matter, the tone of the message is polite, after all, it's looking for someone to help, or a dangerous thing, everyone doesn't owe me."

"Got it, I'll arrange it." Li Xueyan agreed.

"The third thing." Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold as he spoke, he took out the letter and put it on the table, and advised: "This is the evidence that the Li family of Zhaojun wrote to the minister of the Japanese state, the crime is extremely heinous, you immediately arrange for the printing of 10,000 copies, I will use it tonight, the original can be shown to several princes, but it cannot be taken away." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Li Xueyan agreed and hurried away.

Qin Huaidao asked Xiaoyu to bring something to eat, and then went into the secret room.

There is still some gunpowder in the secret room, and the amount of explosives left before the last time I went to the Wa Kingdom is not much, so I estimated it and asked Xiaoyu to go to Jia Youcai to secretly buy a batch of it.

As soon as Jia Youcai heard that Qin Huaidao had come back secretly, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly arranged for reliable people in the house to go to various places to purchase, and the forbidden army only checked people, and did not intercept goods and other people entering and leaving Qinjiazhuang.

In the afternoon, everyone pulled the things they bought to Qinjiazhuang, and everyone didn't buy much, but there were a lot of them together, and Jia Youcai motioned for everyone to leave, dear

When he came to the secret room with his things, he was full of joy when he saw Qin Huaidao, and his worried heart was completely put down.

The two talked secretly for half an hour, Jia Youcai took Qin Huaidao's various advices, and left easily, with a relieved smile on his face, Qin Huaidao stayed in the secret room and continued to make explosive bags.

Until midnight, fifty members of the village guards came quietly.

The news of Qin Huaidao's return was strictly blocked, no one knew that Qin Huaidao was coming, and as for the guards coming over, everyone just thought it was a change of guard, and no one cared.

Li Xueyan knew very well that everyone followed Qin Huaidao to play with their lives, and her heart was full of gratitude, and she also hoped that everyone would do their best to protect Qin Huaidao, arranged for someone to cook a lot of food, and personally toasted everyone to show her gratitude.

This respect moved everyone, it was the princess, or the housewife, and they were grateful.

Everyone had a full meal and came to the backyard.

Jia Youcai drove two big carriages in, which were freshly made hot air balloons and printed letters, and Qin Huaidao asked people to go into the secret room and take out explosives bags, a total of one hundred.

Tonight's battle is a prestige, but also a warning, a deterrent, we must spare no effort and go all out.

"Brothers."

Qin Huaidao's cold gaze swept over everyone, and asked with a certain majesty: "Next, I want to do a big thing, nine deaths, and if you want to quit, leave now, and never blame." ”

Everyone looked solemn, puffed up their chests, and no one left.

After waiting for a while, no one left, Qin Huaidao said with satisfaction: "Very good, whoever fights side by side with me today is my brother, and I will never lose each other in the coming day, the time has come, and the hot air balloon will rise." ”

The crowd quickly moved and was familiar with the road.

Qin Huaidao also raised a hot air balloon, put away the weapons, and asked twenty people to carry explosive bags, five each, and the remaining thirty people to carry printed letters.

Everything was ready, Qin Huaidao looked at Li Xueyan who was waiting silently next to him, he couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "Yan'er, there are some things that have to be done, He'er has to save ......"

"Don't say it, I understand, you are a man, you must support this family, go with confidence, come back alive, I and the child are waiting for you at home." Li Xueyan said, and a line of tears slipped down.

Qin Huaidao hugged the person in his arms, and the guilt was even stronger, but the person had to be saved, Li Er's situation must be broken, time could not wait, it was impossible to stay in Chang'an and slowly settle accounts with Li Er, the only, fastest, and most effective way was to break the situation with force.

After a while, the two separated, Qin Huaidao strode forward, entered the hanging basket, and didn't dare to look back at Li Xueyan again, for fear that he couldn't help it, so he shouted with a cold face: "Brothers, light the fire." ”

The oil was poured with charcoal and soon burned.

The hot air balloon lifted into the air and floated in the direction of Chang'an.

In the hanging basket, Qin Huaidao looked at Li Xueyan, who could no longer control it and cried loudly, a line of hot tears rolled down, his chest straightened, and he saluted solemnly.

The next moment, Qin Huaidao roared: "Adjust the direction, follow me, don't fly away." ”

"Obey!" The crowd agreed.

No one knew that in a certain courtyard of Qinjiazhuang Academy, Li Daozong and Li Jing were playing chess by moonlight, when they suddenly saw a hot air balloon rising into the sky, the burning fire was too obvious in the night sky, too dazzling, Li Daozong was taken aback: "Pharmacist, what is that flying?" ”

Li Jing had never seen a hot air balloon before, but he had heard of it, and he thought of something, his eyes burst with light, and he smiled, with a certain relief: "Daozong, there is going to be a big incident tonight, but it has nothing to do with us, play chess, play chess." ”

"You know what it is?" Li Daozong asked.

"Don't ask, you just don't know."

"Old thing, play dumb riddles with me, is he back?" Li Daozong is not stupid, at this time, something is flying from the courtyard on the top of the mountain, who else is there besides that person?

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, don't ask me." Li Jing denied it.

Li Daozong also reacted, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, playing chess, I haven't seen anything tonight." ”

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed tacitly and continued to play chess, neither of them mentioning what they had just discovered, but their hearts were full of doubts - what was the flying thing going to do?
