The next day, after Lin Xi's routine was over, he saw that nearly half of the people had improved. She shared the good news with Zhang Langzhong and the four of them, and they were very motivated all day.

In the evening, after Lin Xi saw the last patient, he went to find Zhou Ke to come over.

"I would like to write a letter to ask Zhuo Minghe about the situation of my family's three treasures and four treasures, are you currently convenient for Feige to pass on the book to him?"

Zhou Ke hesitated, "Convenient." It's just that you have to wait a few days. ”

Lin Xi was puzzled: "If it's convenient, why wait a few days?" ”

Zhou Ke hesitated even more.

He looked back at the official guarding the door, thought for a moment, and went over to close the door. This move puzzled Lin Xi.

I only heard Zhou Ke lower his voice and said: "Miss Lin, I'll tell you one thing, don't tell others, and don't tell County Lieutenant Song." ”

Lin Xi was slightly stunned and looked at him, "You say." ”

Zhou Ke said in a low voice: "Zhou Ke used to be busy with his master in the past, and he was not used to being idle at first glance, so Zhou Ke often checked around the neighborhood in the past two days, so as not to have unknown people approaching." And in the middle of the night last night, I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, and I noticed traces of people passing by in the northwest. ”

"That's definitely not County Captain Song's person, I haven't seen County Captain Song send someone to leave. I followed the trail all the way and found that I finally arrived outside Jinling City. ”

Lin Xi's eyelids jumped when he heard the words outside Jinling City, "Are you sure?" ”

Zhou Ke swore an oath: "Zhou Ke is willing to swear in the name of the master, if what Zhou Ke said deceives Miss Lin, he will make the master die a good death!" ”

Lin Xi: "......"

It doesn't have to be so loyal.

Lin Xi asked, "Are there any other discoveries?" ”

Zhou Ke condensed and said: "Yes, yes, I found that there are guards on the Jinling city wall to strictly guard them, and there are always patrols, and there are machine arrows and crossbows at each pass, and there are also checkpoints in front of the city gate." If I'm not mistaken, there is an ambush outside the city gates. ”

Lin Xi chuckled in his heart, "Isn't the focus of Jinling City to cure the plague?" I have heard that what they have done has worked, and that in a few days the plague will be over!" Why is manpower being increased in this area at this time? ”

Before the words fell, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that even if Song Lingjun said that the old Chu relics in the city had been cleaned up, Jinling City could not be considered safe.

Because there are not only the old Chu relics in the city, but also outside the city!

Didn't she directly point out in front of Song Lingjun a few days ago that there was still a private army hidden in the mountains in the northwest!

And Zhou Ke continued: "Miss Lin, since you know that the master of my family is a member of the Xiao family in Guanzhong, you should also know that the Xiao family has a private army. Previously, my father sent me to the barracks to hone in order to better protect my master, so I am quite familiar with the ways in the barracks. ”

"I don't dare to make a decision, but what I can be sure of is that Jinling City is definitely waiting for something to arrive right now. And I went quietly for a hundred days to see, and everything was as usual outside the city gates. They only set it up at night, which shows that they want to prepare secretly, so that they will not be confused and caught off guard when they are faced with danger. ”

Lin Xi; “！！！”

Zhou Ke's guess was directly correct with her previous guess!

The chaos in the city has subsided, but the outside is still watching. Could it be that the private army in the mountains just wants to wait for Jinling City to be seriously injured by the plague, and then reap the benefits of the fishermen!

Lin Xi forced himself to compose, "Thank you for telling me this. Zhou Ke, you go back first, I want to ......"

"Are you going to ask County Lieutenant Song?" Zhou Ke interrupted Lin Xi's words, "Miss Lin, I actually know that you asked about the situation in Song County Weicheng before, but why didn't he tell you at that time?" Even if you know him, you can't see through it. ”

Lin Xi looked up at Zhou Ke.

Zhou Ke said sincerely: "Miss Lin, if you go to Jinling City to see it in person, you will know that I am not lying to you." I understand that you are in the city, you must be in a hurry, but you are not in a hurry, if you want to enter the city, you must think long-term. Don't worry, Zhou Ke will definitely help you find a way. ”

Lin Xi saw that he said sincerely, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know." You go back and rest first, I'm going to think again. ”

Zhou Ke said, "Okay." Miss Lin, if you leave, you must sue me. Otherwise, if you encounter any danger outside, I will not be able to explain to my master when I go back. ”

He finally glanced at Lin Xi again before leaving.

Lin Xi sat alone at the table, his mind in a mess.

In the end, Lin Xi didn't sit down, and went straight to Song Lingjun's residence.

At this hour, there was still a candle flame in Song Lingjun's residence, and when Lin Xi entered, he was approving official documents.

Song Lingjun was quite surprised when he saw her: "Miss Lin, why are you here?" What's the matter? ”

Lin Xi went straight to the point: "Is Jinling City being deployed to meet the enemy these days?" ”

Song Lingjun was stunned, but he didn't deny it, but just asked, "Who told you?" ”

Lin Xi's heart was even more confused, "You don't care who told me." County Lieutenant Song, tell me the truth, it won't be long before the private army in the mountains in the northwest is going to attack Jinling? ”

Song Lingjun's expression became more serious, put down the brush, and said, "Yes." But, Miss Lin, that's not your concern. ”

"But my father-in-law Shen Chen is in the city now!" Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "There are so many people killed and injured in Jinling because of the plague, there must be a lot of people in the city guard army who are infected with the plague!" What does this mean? It shows that Jinling has insufficient troops to defend the city at this time! ”

"If an army attacks Jinling, it will be more difficult for Jinling, and the people in the city will be even more miserable! Whether you can hold the city or not, it's still a second word! ”

Song Lingjun looked at her and said calmly: "I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that Miss Lin, you would be too worried." Besides, no matter how worried you are, what can you do? Will the number of troops in the city increase because of fear? Will the enemy's forces be reduced and weakened due to fear? ”

Lin Xi was dumbfounded: "I ......"

Song Lingjun sighed, a little helpless, and the words of comfort were rusty because of the rare gentleness.

"Miss Lin, this official can assure you that there is Brother Shen and Master Yi here, Jinling...... It's going to be fine. And you rushed to Pei County day and night, and then you worked hard day after day to cure the plague, and you have done enough to do well. What you need now is a good rest. Believe me, when you have a good rest, maybe you can go back with Brother Shen. ”

Lin Xi was silent.

After a long time, Lin Xi asked in a dumb voice: "Has Jinling borrowed troops from other places?" ”

Song Lingjun said: "The nearest is the Jiangyou region, and the troops over there have not been for a short time, so it should be late to borrow troops at this time." However, I believe that Brother Shen and Master Yi should have been prepared in advance, and Jinling will not be left alone. ”

Lin Xi said in a deep voice: "You continue to work, I'm sorry, I won't bother you." ”

Song Lingjun shook his head and said that it was not in the way, and called an official to send Lin Xi back.
