Tongcheng is approaching May, and it has entered summer, but tonight there is no cloud and no rain, and it is cold and unbearable.

Wen tightened his clothes, but found that he had winter clothes on them.

With Zhixia by his side in daily life, he doesn't have to worry about his own affairs.

It's just that why is he in the carriage at this time? There are many urgent matters in Lianzhou, which can make Li Mao ignore the affairs in the city and come to report late at night.

Isn't the Emperor of Southern Chu dead?

It's a happy event.

As soon as I thought about it, I immediately realized that something was wrong.

Zhixia should be secretly escorting Xu Zhongyan back to his hometown in Qianlong County now, why is he here?

Wen wanted to ask, but when he looked around first, he saw that in addition to Li Mao, Wenliang and Zhou Tong were also present, and Zhou Tong and Li Mao didn't know about Xia, so he couldn't mention it at this time.

Why is Wenliang Zhoutong also there?

Before she had any premonitions in her heart, she heard Li Mao's report: "Miss, in Lianzhou City, among the students who entered Beijing this time, there was a man named Xu Zhongyan, who sneaked into Zhaohua Hall the day before yesterday and scolded Ling Guangjun. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen was stunned.

Xu Saburo scolded the palace?

That was more than 10 days ago. Thinking about it again, isn't this the day they saw Li Xunjin from Qianlong County and came back, and met Li Mao out of the city to deliver an urgent report from Lianzhou?

Are you born again?

But it's obviously sleeping, isn't it "sleeping to death"?

Zhixia saw that the eldest lady was stunned, and her face was full of concern, which reminded her of the scene when the eldest lady read Yang Wantang's letter in Liangzhou that day.

It seems that you need to ask a medical officer to take a look, don't have any hidden diseases, it's not good to fall into the root of the disease.

Li Mao replied simply, and said that the rest of the detailed matters could be reported one by one after the eldest lady returned home.

Wen turned around and returned to the carriage, leaving only the sentence "Wait here", and didn't even bring Zhixia with him.

She had to organize her thoughts first.

The handstove was lit on the carriage, which was much warmer, and the old man was a little sober and calm.

First of all, the time for rebirth is not right, when she was in Liangzhou, she repeated more than 100 times, each time a little later than the last time. The last time was on the day I received Yang Wantang's letter.

But this time, the time was postponed by nearly a month.

Whether the time of rebirth has changed, or whether the interval has changed, is unknown.

Again, in every cycle of Liangzhou, she knew how she died, but this time, she was reborn in her sleep, but she didn't know why.

It can't be anything to sleep and die, the people close to you are not there that day, and not losing your home is the most defenseless time.

I'm afraid someone sneaked in and killed her secretly.

At that time, both inside and outside the city, the most important thing was Xu Zhongyan. Even if someone wants to make trouble in Tongcheng, the first one should be Taishou Liu. Her identity is still hidden, and the spearhead is directed at her, no matter how you think about it.

Zheng Tong and them were "Mrs. Liu", and they didn't make it clear to them, so they shouldn't be able to find themselves.

After thinking about it, it may only be on one person.

Golden Silk.

Since you only think of her for the time being, let's solve her business first.

Several people outside the car stood in the cold wind, looking at each other. Wen Liang's face was cold, Zhixia's face was full of melancholy, Li Mao wanted to say a few words to Zhou Tong, but when he saw that Zhou Tong was not as publicized as before, his face was still a little embarrassed, so he was silent.

Several people waited for a long time, and only then did they get out of the carriage, first found Li Mao with their eyes, and said: "Li Mao, you go back and inform Taishou of the matter of Lianzhou, and at the same time send someone to spread a message out, saying that I am dissatisfied with Taishou's change of place, and sooner or later Xingshi will ask for guilt." ”

Without waiting for Li Mao to ask about the details, he was urged to return to the city immediately, so he didn't say anything more and turned around.

Wen Liang saw that Wen had no intention of returning to the city, so he asked, "Miss, is there something wrong with this Xu Zhongyan?" ”

Wen Gu nodded, without explanation, and said to Wen Liang: "Uncle Wen, how many secret guards in the city are there now?" ”

As soon as Zhou Tong heard the secret guard mentioned in Wen's old words, he walked away alone. Although he is temporarily in charge of the Liangzhou army, Wenliang's secret guard deployment is still little known.

Seeing that Zhou Tong consciously avoided it, Wen Liang did not stop it, and replied softly: "Except for Li Mao's people, there are a total of two hundred and sixty-three secret guards in the city. Leaving aside the inside and outside of the prefecture, in the army, the city defense battalion, the Taishou Mansion and the government office, and outside the rotation of the big clans in the city, there are still 30 people who can be flexibly dispatched. ”

Wen asked again: "If you go to Qianlong County, how many people can leave immediately?" ”

"Leave fifteen people to respond flexibly. The remaining fifteen people can leave in a moment. If that's not enough, you can schedule more. ”

"Fifteen people are enough." The three of us will go back to Qianlong County first, Uncle Wen, you go and arrange the secret guards together, and then follow, and talk about it on the way. ”

Seeing the urgency of the arrangement, Wen Liang responded and stepped into the night.

"Zhou Tong!" Wen called out.

Zhou Tonggang watched the eldest lady arrange Li Mao Wenliang to leave, thinking that it was finally his turn, and when he heard the greeting, he came over and wanted to knock off his breastplate and answer loudly, but he felt that the sky was not yet bright, which was quite abrupt, so he suppressed his voice and said: "Miss, the end will be." ”

But he just said, "Drive." ”

After speaking, he turned around and returned to the carriage with Zhixia, Zhou Tong caught up with him, and asked, "Miss, where are we going?" ”

"Go back to Qianlong County and find Li Xun."

Zhou Tong happily sat on the front of the car and lifted the reins. But I turned around in my heart, thinking that I still know more about the eldest lady, and no matter how active my conscience is, he is also a middle-aged single man over thirty years old, where do I know about these men and women.

Thinking of this, he became more and more proud, pulled the reins with one hand, and shouted, "Drive!" Then he drove the carriage and galloped away from the place where he came.

At this time, in Tongcheng, ordinary people were still asleep. The merchants are the pawns of the merchants, but they are already preparing to open.

Although Tongcheng changed hands not long ago, it was not man-made. Under the rule of Liu Zhu, it was more orderly than before, and the people were happy to have it, so Liu Zhu also took advantage of the situation to urge the merchants to open as soon as possible and further stabilize the situation.

The southern city of Xingde Xingli in the south has also returned to its usual liveliness. As soon as the door of Yinshifang is opened, the shops along the street should be lit up from time to time, steamed cakes and cakes, fruit snacks, each of them is opened, the heat is steaming, the fragrance is fragrant, and the prosperity of Tongcheng on this day is regarded as the beginning.

And in this south city center there is a cross street, which was originally for traveling merchants, sitting near and far, and selling to attract customers, but later it was occupied by the Jianghu people.

said that he was a Jianghu person, but in fact, he had some martial arts, and he played sticks for money.

These people come and go everywhere, and they all stayed after Tongcheng stopped letting them go a few days ago. But the territory is so big, but there are more and more people, and there was a first-come-first-served rule at the beginning, but if they all came first, they would be robbed if they didn't agree.

has kung fu on his body, but there are not many restraints, and his temper is hot. What's more, it's also about livelihood, if you grab it, it's a day's livelihood, and the latecomers can only wait for the former to disperse the stall before they can pick up the rest of the time and earn some scattered copper coins.

At this time, on this cross street, there are two groups of people standing opposite each other, putting on a posture, and they are about to make a move.

When the swords and soldiers were facing each other, they had to hear the sound of the blade breaking through the wind from a distance, and in an instant, it turned into a silver light that pierced through the middle of the two groups of people, and pierced into a pillar of the wall at the bevel of the cross street.

The people around looked together, only to see a spring and autumn knife more than eight feet long, the blade of which was directly submerged into the pillar stone, firmly fixed on it, and the handle of the knife was still trembling.

Then I heard the crisp voice of a young girl coming from the other direction:

"I'll look at today, which one is going to die first?"
