The palace gate of the city hall will be closed at the time of Hai, and it is already the time of the sun, and the time of only half a pillar of incense will be closed.

The two soldiers in front of the palace gate stuck to their posts, like two pines and cypresses, and did not move at all.

Chao Ya walked to the fence outside the palace gate, when he saw the guards guarding, his heart couldn't help but tighten, he first hid behind the brick wall, closed his eyes, calmed down his heart trembling because of fear, and then took out the entrance to the palace from the sleeve tube Yu Yao, because he pinched it too tightly, the cold sweat in his palm actually wet the guard.

Chao Ya thought that now was not the time for him to retreat, he took a few deep breaths, then wiped his hands on his face, and when he removed his face, his old face turned into the face of a young man, and this cold and rigid face was the face of Kongjing's subordinate peasant guard. Chao Ya followed Josuke-sama's instructions and used illusion magic to change his appearance, and after changing his form, he pretended to be calm and walked towards the palace gate.

When they got to the palace gate, the guards naturally stopped and demanded to show the guard card. Chao Ya didn't say a word, and showed the guard card in his hand. When the two guards saw that it was a special protection card issued by Kongjing, they didn't ask any more questions, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

Chao Ya saw that he didn't see through it, so he went directly to the palace gate.

After entering the palace gate, Chao Ya went straight to the city lord's dormitory, he was afraid of being seen by Kong Jing or his subordinates, so he tried to avoid the patrolling personal guard soldiers along the way. When Chao Ya passed by the 'Xuanliu Pavilion', he heard a sharp shout from behind him, "Who is so bold as to dare to break into this place late at night?" ”

Chao Ya's heart was stirred, but he quickly calmed down, and turned to look at one of the eunuchs who was hurrying towards him. The eunuch had fine skin and tender flesh, and his face was white, and he looked like he was more than forty years old. But it is estimated that it is a new eunuch, and Chao Ya did not recognize who this eunuch is?

And this eunuch happened to be serving the city lord to eat and sleep, he saw this man with a sword, and after a closer look, he recognized it, he knew that this person was Kong Jing's personal entourage, so he hurriedly changed the emphasis, and said: "Ouch, why didn't the peasant beard guard inform me so late at night?" If there is anything important, I can send a letter to the city lord, so that you don't have to bother to come here in person in the middle of the night, if you are seen by some people who are taunting right and wrong, you may also say some ugly gossip about the peasant guards. ”

Chao Ya had already understood the identity of this person at this moment, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law is right, but the last general has important military affairs that must be reported to the city lord, if the military situation is delayed, not only Lord Kongjing will blame, but the lord will also investigate, and there may be a crime of killing the head in the middle of the evening, so the last general will not dare to slack off." ”

The father-in-law was frightened when he heard it, but he was still puzzled, "Military intelligence? What is the military situation, now that there is no war in our Chiyan City, is the farmer's guard wrong? ”

"Except for the courtiers in the city, they are not allowed to ask about political affairs, and it is better for the father-in-law not to ask." Chao Ya took on a peasant beard pose and began to threaten, hoping to get rid of the man quickly.

The father-in-law looked even more displeased, "It is the duty of the old slave to protect the safety of the master, even if you are a farmer's guard, if there is something important, report it tomorrow!" The Lord is not in good health, and if he disturbs the Lord's rest, who can afford it. ”

Chao Ya knew that if this greedy eunuch didn't need some money to send away, he would definitely not let it go easily, so he hurriedly took out a bag of silver taels from his sleeve, handed it to the father-in-law, and said: "This means that my father-in-law will be bothered to accept it, and I will bother my father-in-law to lead the way." ”

The father-in-law suddenly smiled, he stretched out his somewhat white hand and took it, gently turned the money bag upside down, and then put it into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The peasant beard guard is really a good general in the city, and he came to report late at night for the sake of the military situation, since it is so urgent, and the old slave is not easy to stop, you will go to the 'Yuehua Pavilion', the lord has not stopped because he is worried about the city affairs." ”

Chao Ya didn't want to talk nonsense with this eunuch anymore, so he walked quickly towards the 'Yuehua Pavilion', but when his figure disappeared into the night, this Han Gonggong seemed to understand something, and there was a trace of worry on his face.

................

Yuehua Pavilion was really brightly lit, there were six guards guarding in front of the pavilion, Chao Ya walked up the steps with his heart, and walked to the front of the pavilion, and the guards were busy saluting when they saw the Nongshu Guards appearing here, "Nongshu Guards!" ”

Chao Ya nodded, "I want to meet the Lord, you all stand down!" ”

"This—" They looked left and right, and they didn't dare to take orders.

"Okay, then you guys stay outside the door." Chao Ya pointed at one of the guards and said, "You, follow me in!" ”

"Huh?" The guard was surprised and frightened, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

"I have important matters to discuss with the Lord, but the Lord is weak and unsafe, if there is anything you can do to obey!" Chao Fang commanded calmly.

The guard felt that what the chief farmer said was reasonable, so he did not ask any questions, answered, and followed him into the cabinet.

Inside the pavilion. He bowed down in front of the bookcase, checking the file, his head was covered with cold sweat, the loose clothes showed his thin body, and his pale face showed his pain of being tortured by illness, he searched for the file for a while, but found nothing, as if a defeated lion had lost its sharpness, he collapsed on the soft chair, looking at the top of the attic, his eyes were blank.

Chao Ya looked at the Lord in front of him, who he hadn't seen for ten years, and suddenly had mixed feelings, so excited that he almost burst into tears, he leaned over and knelt down on his knees, and said, "The last general Chao..." ”

The Duju City Lord was no stranger to this farmer, because he knew that he was Kong Jing's subordinate, and he said weakly: "The master has no intention of seeing you, you can step down!" ”

As soon as he came to save and was ordered to retreat, this was a blow to Chaoya, he knew that he would disobey the lord's order to stay any longer, but he had to stay, "What is the Lord looking for?" ”

"What?" Du Ju suddenly laughed desolately, "I just wanted to check the records of the officials in the DPRK and China, but I couldn't find it, oh, by the way, you were recommended by General Kong Jing, presumably you are very familiar with him, you simply go back and tell Kong Jing that the master can't find the file about him in these thousands of files, and the owner wants to know what's going on." ”

Chao Ya was a little hard to believe what he was hearing, was this angry lord now rebuking Kongjing? Chao Ya asked tentatively, "I don't know what the Lord is doing to check General Kongjing's file?" ”

"What's the matter? The owner doesn't know, the owner is just curious, where he came from and who he is, but he doesn't know at all. Du Ju sighed, "That's it, that's it, the master is also tired, you can retreat!" ”

You can't step back, so you must find a reason for the Lord to go with you, "Maybe there is a place where the Lord can find out the background of General Kongjing." ”
