Looking at Hengyu's expression, Shao Yan nodded.

Then, he took out a small box from his sleeve: "Ah Heng, this is the deputy general of the king entrusted me to transfer to you, saying that the Marquis of Dingbei had confessed before leaving the city and asked them to stay near the eldest princess's mansion - if you encounter danger or need help if you have progress, you can use this as a password, and when they see it, they will come to help." ”

Hengyu took it, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the things inside were not unfamiliar.

It is a few special things made by Mr. Su that can replace the sound of arrows.

Previously, when she was invited to the Jiang family's sister's birthday banquet, because she was suspicious of Jiang Linggong at that time, he gave her this thing for self-defense.

Flashing in front of him when he patiently demonstrated to her how to use this thing in Yan Chunlou, Heng Yu closed the box, put it away, and calmed down.

"Let's go."

……

The stars are slanting, and the sky will be bright.

Those who were in a hurry had already left the inn where they had rested at night, and had mounted their horses one after another, and walked all the way up the north through the unknown mist.

The reason why I didn't make the journey overnight last night was because there was a steep mountain road ahead.

At this time, the group of people and horses entered the mountains and forests, and when they were about to go halfway, the young man led by them suddenly tightened the reins, slowed down, looked ahead vigilantly, and raised his left hand to signal his subordinates behind him to slow forward.

In the early morning, the mountains are foggy and swirling, as if there is an unknown dangerous atmosphere.

Immediately, everyone was silently on guard, and they all raised their hands and touched the swords behind them.

"Rub-"

The sound of the sword coming out of its sheath sounded, and in the layers of dense fog in front of it, black shadows stained with wet mist suddenly appeared, like night bats that had been dormant all night and jumped silently.

The birds in the mountains fluttered their wings and scattered in shock.

There are many ambushers, all of whom are the elite of the elite, and their moves are all aimed at taking people's lives.

There are only more than ten people who enter the mountain, and there are fewer enemies and more people, although they are trying their best to support, they are still gradually showing the momentum of invincibility.

The young man was attacked on the back, and the long knife cut through his robe, hurting the flesh and skin, and the next moment blood poured out, glowing with a strange black.

The young man in the dark robe turned sideways to avoid the fatal blow, and the sword slashed off the arm of the person behind him, but he was also forced to the edge of the cliff.

The sand and gravel on the edge of the cliff were loose, and the fierce mountain wind puffed up the robes.

The sword light flashed, and heavy blood spilled out, dispelling the morning mist.

……

Hengyu suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

When I sat up, my shirt was soaked with sweat, and the green silk that was scattered was also soaked with sweat and stuck to my ears.

She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, calming her mind that hadn't yet fully recovered from the nightmare.

It has been three days since Xiao Mu left Beijing.

When he left Beijing at this time, he must have made careful preparations.

And there has been no news for three days, most of them are safe and sound, and at this time, I think it should be out of the reach of Li Wei's minions...... The further north you go, the more advantageous it is for him.

Thinking of this, Hengyu slowly opened his eyes and was able to regain his calm.

She sat quietly, her mind carefully recovering what she had learned from the recent days.

On that night three days ago, she and Shao Yan tried to go to Li Wei's courtyard to investigate the situation, and they have roughly figured out the situation in the past few days-

There is no special defense there, at least on the surface.

Because Li Wei does not live in the mansion now, except for the female envoys and servants who sweep every morning in the courtyard, there are only two female envoys left behind at night.

But it is worth noting that every morning and evening, there are meals that are secretly delivered to the courtyard - this is the clue that Shao Yan and Ah Rui found in the daily meal of the kitchen.

Therefore, at present, it can almost be concluded that there are indeed people secretly detained in Li Wei's courtyard.

……

As soon as the city gate was opened, a fast horse brought the urgent news into the palace.

The urgent report was sent to Beijing in two succession, one of which was the Xidi Military Newspaper -

"The soldiers and horses of Anxi Jiedu who made Zeng Xin rebel are now at war with the Turkic army, and the forces of both sides are being pinned down and delayed!"

There was a sudden shock and uproar in the court.

Previously, Zeng Xin suddenly rebelled and gave up the defense of the western region, and the officials of the DPRK and China had asked the eldest princess of Yongyang to send a letter to persuade her to surrender, but it was unsuccessful-

But now, the other party's 20,000 soldiers and horses are fighting with the Turkic army?!

Before Dingbei Hou killed the Turkic envoy Jiaque, the Turks gathered troops because of this, and when Zeng Xin rebelled, the West was really troubled by internal and external troubles, and the situation could be a mess - although the DPRK and China made the soldiers of the Western Prefecture gather troops to resist, but the situation was not optimistic, and the provinces either delayed and resigned for some reason, or used the mantis arm as a drop in the bucket, and faced the rebellious Anxi Army and the Turkic barbarians, and they were powerless to parry.

But in such a situation, no one dared to advocate and propose to mobilize the Jingshi Biqi to fight -

Under the anxiety, at this time, the Anxi rebels were facing the Turks...... To put it bluntly, isn't this exactly dog-eat-dog?

Although I don't understand how these two sides fought, but at this time, the forces of both sides were contained, which was undoubtedly a great thing for the imperial court!

With this respite, there was enough time to deploy troops.

Thinking about the gains and losses, most of the officials looked a little relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Jiang Zhengfu and other officials were detained, the eldest princess of Yongyang, who naturally began to listen to politics in the Yanying Palace, heard the news, and her eyes were almost imperceptibly cold.

A few days ago, Zeng Xin's secret letter asking for help had been delivered to her......

She originally wanted to use Zeng Xin's power to disrupt the Western Lands and contain as many troops as possible so that she could take power in the chaos-

But she never thought that Zeng Xin would be blocked by the Turkic army!

This may sound absurd, but it's no accident......

Thinking of Xiao Mu's previous sword killing of Jiaque, the eldest princess of Yongyang sneered in her heart.

She had already noticed that something was wrong with this matter, and Xiao Mu had already suspected that Mrs. Xiao was killed by her, so it was said that there was no reason to kill Jia Que again to "avenge her mother"-

Before, she didn't understand the intention, but she didn't think that she was waiting for her here......

Xiao Mu had long suspected and even knew that Zeng Xin was her person, and it was false to kill Jiaque, and it was true that she had secretly reached an agreement with the Turks through Jiaque -

The Turks gathered troops, not to take advantage of the death of Jiaque to rob the fire, but to prevent Zeng Xin from rebelling!

As early as when Mrs. Xiao had just had an accident, before everything really surfaced, Xiao Mu had already planned all of this early.

Countering thieves against thieves –

It's really treacherous, unexpected.

A smile appeared in the eyes of the eldest princess of Yongyang, and she sighed slowly: "This is really ...... God bless me. ”

It's a pity that this "sky" has already darkened -

She raised her eyes to look at the gloomy sky outside the hall, which was about to rain at any time, and the smile in her eyes became a little more real.

There are geniuses in the world who have fallen, and God is sorry for it.

"Report ——!"

Soon, a second urgent message entered the temple.

The messenger knelt in the hall, holding an object in his hands tremblingly, and there was still a long-standing anxiety on his face—
