Inas, who ventured into Metasequoia City, stayed here for seven or eight days, and also wondered for seven or eight days.

On the second day of her arrival at Metasequoia, she easily heard the news of the princess Hesijia, and not only that, but also the trace of the Persian girl Effantia.

The reason why this is the case is because the Zhenjiang army does not seem to deliberately block the news of the two of them, although He Sijia concealed his true identity from the outside world, and many Metasequoia soldiers and civilians did not know that she was actually the dignified Hanhai Pearl and Princess Yingyang, but everyone also knew that there was a beautiful Turkic girl living in the city guard's mansion.

This situation surprised Inus.

At first, she suspected that it was likely that Li Jiangyao was setting up a suspicious formation, specifically luring the Turks to come to the rescue of He Sijia, so as to set a trap and catch them all. With this in mind, Inas did not dare to act rashly, but hid in the shadows and secretly observed Hesjia's condition.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of watching, Inas fell into a deeper circle of confusion.

He Sijia did not look like a prisoner who had been captured at all, and certainly not like a guest who lived here temporarily, on the contrary, her every move was not much different from those metasequoia people on the street, living happily and freely every day.

From the smile that often hung on Hesijia's face, it was not difficult to see that this Turkic princess was enjoying the time in front of her. Inas and Hesjia grew up together and knew each other very well, so Inas could be sure that the princess was not a disguise, but a real and real thing.

In this way, she will inevitably feel more confused.

What happened to Hesjia?

Inas couldn't figure out why, so she decided not to keep watching. Anyway, the Zhenjiang Army did not restrict Hesijia's freedom of movement, and then simply found a suitable opportunity to meet the princess directly, and then try to save her from here.

However, what Inas didn't expect was that the Metasequoia City Guard Mansion seemed to be lax in defense, calm and safe, harmless to people and animals, but in fact, due to the joint efforts of the Turks and the Western Xinjiang Alliance, the Zhenjiang Army never dared to relax its guard against enemy spies, so the City Guard Mansion was also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the garrison was tight. She walked around the courtyard for several days, and from time to time she hid in the shadows and snooped secretly, all of which had already fallen into the eyes of the guard sentry.

Situ Wushou, who was in charge of the security of the castle guard, received a report from his subordinates that a woman of the Yiwu tribe had been acting suspiciously recently, and it seemed that she was monitoring the situation in the mansion, and he couldn't help but be alert immediately.

He instructed the guards to carry out counter-reconnaissance, and soon found out Inas's movements and where she was staying in the city. On the ninth day of her arrival in Metasequoia City, she was about to meet with Princess Hesjia when the guards of the city guard suddenly attacked and surrounded her.

Inas has strong martial arts, and at this time she is in a desperate situation in the enemy camp, so she naturally does her best. After only a few faces, he wounded three white-robed soldiers one after another. Originally, the white-robed guards were ordered by Situ Wushou to capture Inas alive, but they didn't expect this delicate little girl to be so ruthless, so they had to let go of their hands and feet and fight to besiege and kill. The two sides fought and chased from the inn where Inas had settled, and fought all the way to Metasequoia Ximennei Street, which shocked the nearby business travelers to flee in all directions, and there was a great chaos.

At this time, Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang came back from outside the city, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this, and thought that their hometown had been stolen by the enemy.

Xu Youchang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized Inas, and hurriedly stepped forward to drink the guards, and at the same time flashed to the other party's side with his bare hands. Inas was exhausted at the moment, so she didn't even look at it, so she raised her last bit of strength and directly swung her dagger and stabbed at Xu Youchang, with a posture of dying together.

Lao Xu has experienced a hundred battles, and his martial arts are above Inas, so he didn't panic, just an understatement of a hook hand, and he tightly clasped Inas's wrist, and then exerted his strength, only to hear a loud sound, and the dagger landed.

"Hey! You see! It's me! ”

Inas took off her weapon, feeling desperate in her heart, and was about to fly up with a kick and go straight to Xu Youchang's lower body, when she heard the other party shouting like this, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

"Is that you? General Xu?! ”

Xu Youchang laughed, and then let go of his hand: "Your Royal Highness the dear princess, you were going to abolish me just now?" ”

Hearing that the other party still called herself "princess", Inas suddenly smiled embarrassedly, then raised her hand to brush her loose hair, and snorted: "Don't pretend to be garlic, don't you know who I am now?" ”

Xu You looked at her meaningfully, and asked instead of answering, "What's going on?" When did you come to Metasequoia City? And why are you fighting with our soldiers? ”

Inas was about to answer, but Li Jiangyao, who was not far away, suddenly said lightly on the horse: "Friend, this is not a place to chat and catch up, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Xu Youchang nodded and turned to the officers and soldiers of the guards who captured Inas: "You are Lord Situ's subordinates, right?" I'll take this person back to the city guard mansion to check first, and if I find anything, I'll go and tell Situ Wushou about it. ”

The officers and soldiers of the guard gave Xu Youchang a military salute in an orderly manner, and then collected the team and left according to the order, Xu Youchang ordered someone to lead a horse, let Inas ride, and return to the city guard with them.

When he arrived at the place, Xu Youchang first retreated left and right, then pointed at Li Jiangyao, and asked Inas with a smile: "Do you remember him?" ”

Inas raised her hand and gently wiped the blood stains on her face, stared at Li Jiangyao, and smiled calmly: "Captain Li of the Pegasus Scout Battalion, how dare I forget?" ”

Li Jiangyao also smiled and nodded: "Good memory." The two of us have met three times in total, the first time was in the business road of the Broken Leaf Country, you led people to ambush the Shengtang caravan, and I led the troops to fight back, and you escaped. The second time was the Battle of Chechi, where you were captured by my men and then escaped. This time there is fate, and when we meet again, we are still fighting and killing. ”

"And you're being held captive again." Inas shrugged: "It seems that you are really the disaster star of my life, and every time you encounter it, you will be unlucky." However, this time I don't plan to run away again, I want to kill or chop, and listen to it. ”

Xu Youchang laughed when he heard this, and reached out to pull a chair: "Come, sit down, sit down and say." What to kill and chop, it's not so exaggerated! ”

He poured a bowl of water for Inas, and then smiled at Li Jiangyao: "In order to protect He Sijia, this girl impersonated the Turkic princess and deceived me and Murong Xue. If it weren't for Shen Lie's nonsense and crooked fighting, I still don't know her true identity. ”

Li Jiangyao nodded in agreement and turned to Inas: "I heard that you are the granddaughter of Helian Xiong and the apprentice of the Turkic Martial Saint Biluo?" ”

Inas was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that the other party knew her details so well, and couldn't help but wonder: "You...... How do you know? ”

Xu Youchang said on the side: "Needless to say, of course the princess told us." ”

"Princess? Hesjia? Inas was incredulous: "How could she tell you this?" What exactly did you do to her? ”

Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang glanced at each other and said with a smile: "You answer me a question first." Did you come to Metasequoia this time to spy on the military intelligence for Ronia, or to find Hesjia? ”

Inas looked very wary: "Is there any difference between the two?" ”

"Of course." Li Jiangyao responded with a good time: "If you are a spy, I will not embarrass you for those fates before, but please leave here immediately." ”

"Leave?" Inas was skeptical, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Prince of the Templar about you?" ”

Xu Youchang said calmly: "What is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that you can't figure out the context of our Zhenjiang Army at all, even if you find out any news, it doesn't matter. We have defeated the rebels of the West many times, including your Marquis of Durham, Marshal Mohadi, and Doren the Iron Dove, not in hiding and sneaking. What's more, you didn't send spies before. ”

From Xu Youchang's words, Inas heard the confidence of being bright and proud, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then asked, "What if you come to find Princess Hesijia?" ”

Li Jiangyao bowed slightly: "I'll just say, finding the princess should be the top priority of your search group." ”

"You even know that?" Inus's eyes widened.

In order to ensure the personal safety of Hestya and Effantia, the search group has always been a secret operation of the Turkic side, and only a few high-ranking people know the reason, and the outside world does not even know about the existence of their team.

However, listening to Li Jiangyao's tone, it is obvious that he is very clear about the matter of the search group, which is enough to show how powerful the other party's intelligence system is.

The Turkic army and the thirty-six countries of Western Xinjiang have no secrets to Li Jiangyao!

Inas bit her lip unwillingly, and asked again: "You haven't said yet, what will happen if I come to find the whereabouts of the princess?" ”

"Then let you go see her." Li Jiangyao smiled: "Otherwise, what else?" ”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

"Can I take her away?"

"She's not a prisoner, so of course she can leave if she wants."

"What the hell are you guys up to?" Inas said angrily: "I have been investigating for so long, and I was almost killed by your people, so why don't you go directly to the door and ask for someone?" You two aren't kidding me, are you? ”

"Not really." Xu You said: "Princess Hesijia, as our friend, is just an ordinary guest in Metasequoia City. She was neither offended by any rudeness nor lost her freedom. Even if you were looking for her, we told you in time. Therefore, what Master Li just told you is all true. ”

"It can't be!" Inas glared at Li Jiangyao: "If He Sijia knew that we were looking for her everywhere, she would definitely be in a hurry, so how could she continue to stay here?" ”

Li Jiangyao scratched his head, first glanced at Xu Youchang, and then said a little helplessly: "If you ask me, I can't figure it out." If you don't believe me, then go meet her now. ”
