On the 18th of April, just after noon, two fast horses galloped along the country road, and the horses' hooves trampled quickly in the grass and mud of the road, and the two lines of footprints were imprinted on the ground.

After two days of royal cavalry, Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu finally succeeded in making a detour into Hengzhou, successfully avoiding the boundary of Yuezhou that they had to pass through on the original route, and then as long as they first entered Qianzhong and then entered Jiannan, they would not be far from their destination in southern Xinjiang.

Along the way, I didn't hear much about the slaughter of the evil gate or any turbulent news of the rivers and lakes, but more of a lament that in recent years, Hengzhou and its surrounding three states have been in good weather, saying that there will be a good harvest after the autumn of this year.

When resting at the post station, I listened to those old people chatting and talking about the history of the Hengzhou thorn in Kuana, which has been governed well over the years, and the drought and flood in the past few years have survived thanks to the thorn history, which can look forward to the good scene of this year.

"Listening to what those old men said, this assassin in Hengzhou can be regarded as a good official who helps the world and saves the people..."Lin Manliu, who was riding a horse and chasing after the yellow figure in front of him, suddenly sighed.

"Sort of," Ye Dang said after a moment of silence.

It didn't take long for the two of them to enter Hengzhou City together, and there was no progress in the news they had heard recently, and they really needed to meet this Lord Thorn.

After the two of them set up their horses, they went to the alley where the Assassin's Mansion was located, but before they could get close to the location of the three streets of the mansion, they found that there were some bad conditions on this street, and there were many more soldiers patrolling than any state city before, or in this Hengzhou City, whether it was the lively market just now or the city gate that had just entered, there were not as many soldiers patrolling the streets at this time.

Ye Dang listened to a stall fiddling with small objects, and gave Lin Manliu beside him a look, and the young man in the short shirt realized that the two of them looked at the things sold on the street for a while, and then turned around the alley, and then walked around the county guard mansion for a short time, and found that there were soldiers patrolling everywhere.

In the end, the two found a two-story restaurant, and after ordering food, they went up to the second floor and sat down by the window, waiting for the food to be served. The restaurant's running hall Xiao Er went upstairs first to pack up the utensils for the two, and when he saw that it was just near the window, he walked quickly to open the window, and the scenery in Hengzhou City instantly opened with the window, and he had a panoramic view.

"The two guest officers wait a minute, the meal will be eaten immediately, drink some tea first, and wait patiently! If there is any need, just call the small one," Xiao Er said with a smile in his hand, and he didn't stop holding a pot in one hand and a cup in the other, and quickly filled the short-shirted boy and the man in yellow with twice the tea.

Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu naturally didn't pay attention to these things, so they casually raised the bowl of tea they had just poured and drank it into their throats. Then the two of them turned their heads together to look out the window, they couldn't be seen carefully in the streets, and now they climbed up and found that there were indeed soldiers patrolling and investigating the three streets around the Assassin's Mansion.

The patrols of the streets and alleys near the Thorn Mansion became more frequent, and under the influence of this, no people dared to take a step closer, and there was a coldness on the streets that seemed to drive everyone to approach the Thorn Mansion.

"This Thorn Mansion is a little weird today...... But the situation is urgent, and some things have to be figured out," Ye Dang said in a deep voice, still playing with this and that tea bowl in his hand.

"Why don't you go back to Hangzhou first, and I'll inform Master of the relevant matters in Nanjiang, and then make a decision," Lin Manliu thought for a moment and proposed.

“...... The hair hasn't grown together, don't you know how much more you have to walk? Your master has already started the game, just wait for Mr. Mo to watch the situation fall, we also have our own things to do," the old liar in the yellow shirt glared back at the young man at the table and said.

The short-shirted boy was silent, just rolled his eyes and continued to look out the window, it didn't take long for the meal to be served on the table, the two picked up the chopsticks together after looking at each other, as if ignoring the existence of the other side of the table, and began to put vegetables into their bowls, and then gobbled it up, without any food at all, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be a table of food that the two of them could see a little after a long journey of more than ten days.

After the two of them came out of the restaurant, they went directly back to the inn where the horses were housed to rest, and did not step out of the door until evening, until the closed door of the inn quietly opened at nightfall.

In the dark night, only those rich families in Hengzhou City will hang lanterns in front of the mansion, and the Assassin's Mansion is naturally no exception.

Compared with the daytime, there were one or two fewer patrolling soldiers, and the interval between patrols was a little longer, and the two figures shuttled through these streets and alleys, and when they were about to meet these soldiers, the two figures quietly disappeared into the alleys on both sides of the road, as if a breeze suddenly blew in the dark night and disappeared without any trace of passing.

It didn't take long for the two figures to be obscured by the dark clouds with the moonlight in the sky, and instantly jumped into the courtyard wall of the Thorn History, and when the moonlight re-illuminated the earth, it seemed that nothing had ever appeared around them.

In the Hengzhou Thorn History Mansion, the courtyards and corridors everywhere are brightly lit, and there is no dimness at all as if it were daylight. Some of the mansion officials and guards would still walk around the corridors from time to time to patrol and investigate, and in such an environment, the two figures who had flashed into the Assassin's Mansion did not stop their movements.

The leader climbed to the roof of a courtyard first, and then the companions followed suit, but there was a slight stampede for perhaps unskilled reasons.

"I wonder if you're thin...... Why is it so unbearable to climb a roof, if those nurses find out, can we run out, and we should say something else" A subtle but extremely mocking word came to mind between the two figures.

"Old liar! Even if I had been a bit naughty before, I hadn't gone up to the house to remove the tiles......" Then another small voice responded.

These two figures shuttling in the night are naturally Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu, who have just left the post station, there is no change in their outfits, but Ye Dangting has changed into the yellow shirt he often wears, and has changed into a black robe, and even the Huang Lu he carried with him was wrapped in black cloth.

Lin Manliu has not changed at all, the short shirt he was wearing was black, and the sleeves that had been rolled up all the year round were also put down, and some of the folds of the age were particularly obvious on this shabby short shirt.

"That's it, let's wait for me to see the situation, and wonder if I should show up and talk to the assassin Shi for a while" After finishing speaking, the two figures no longer communicated, shuttling together in the roof corridor in the Thorn Shi's mansion.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be helping the figures shuttling through the two nights, and the bright moon, which had only emitted bursts of light through the clouds, was covered by dark clouds after a while, so that the moonlight could not illuminate the earth for a long time.
