Rui Ji stood up suddenly, looking nervous: "What did you just say?" Say it again! ”

The leader blinked in embarrassment and replied, "We'...... accidentally found out Shen Lie's foothold in the imperial capital, and planned to take the opportunity to take him down. ”

"Accidents? How unexpected? Rui Ji's hair was scattered, and she couldn't care about putting it back together: "Are you following Shen Lie?" ”

The boss always saw her anxious look, and hurriedly told the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Rui Ji didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately shouted: "You idiot! I can't stay here, evacuate now! ”

Lao Chang was a little stunned, and said to himself: "Madam, do you think this is a trap?" The brothers are very clean, and they protect each other......"

Rui Ji tied her hair and cleaned up her things, her mouth not idle: "Idiot, stupid! I just came to the imperial capital, and before I could do anything, I was cheated by you! Who is Shen Lie? Sir can't find his whereabouts, can you be bumped into by your luck? ”

With that, she lifted the small burden she was carrying and was about to go out. The boss was shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Madam, don't be angry, you also want to share Mr. Lao's worries, and there is no malice." Besides, Shen Lie was still under our close surveillance at this time, and he definitely wouldn't threaten the safety of here. ”

Rui Ji pushed him away and said impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense! I'll find a safe place for myself and I'll come back to you later. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a muffled snort suddenly came from outside the courtyard, followed by the sound of someone falling heavily to the ground.

Rui Ji and Lao Chang couldn't help but be stunned, and looked out the window at the same time.

I saw two figures falling into the small courtyard one after the other, and without saying a word, they killed the secret agents who stayed here. Rui Ji can see clearly, one of them is the former chief Shi Shen Lie of the Reverse Scale Division, nicknamed "Living Hades"!

"It's broken!" Rui Ji took a half step back and asked, "Where's the secret passage?!" ”

The leader reacted: "Secret passage? Oh yes, the Secret Passage! Fast forward to the secret passage! ”

He panicked and moved away from the low cabinet next to him, then kicked open the entrance to the secret passage on the ground, and shouted to Ruiji, "Madam, go down from here!" ”

At this time, an agent happened to be kicked by Yuan Bin, smashed the window frame with a bang, and fell directly into the house.

Rui Ji was shocked, and before she could ask Lao Chang where this secret passage leads, she bent down and went in. Her martial arts skills are far inferior to her sister Lianji, and in the face of the fierce Shen Lie, she is afraid that she will fall into the hands of the other party if she runs half a step slower.

Fortunately, she moved quickly, and the leader often waited for him to enter the tunnel before sealing the entrance, and before the low cabinet could return to its original position, Shen Lie and Yuan Bin entered the room. Shen Lie saw that there was something wrong on the ground, and immediately shouted, "You restrain him!" I'm chasing people! ”

Yuan Bin agreed, threw himself down in front of Lao Chang, and used both fists and palms to attack the opponent.

The boss Lao Chang's martial arts are also not bad, in order to cover Rui Ji's retreat safely, he didn't care about his life at this time, and while resisting Yuan Bin's attack, he stood at the entrance of the secret passage, blocking Shen Lie to the death.

Shen Lie was in a hurry to chase after Lao Jianhua's secret envoy, and seeing that the other party's leader was desperately blocking the way, he suddenly became angry, and made a false move in his hand, shaking off Lao Chang's arms, and then kicked him in the lower abdomen.

The leader often screamed in pain, flew into the wall behind him, vomited blood again and again, and apparently did not live long.

"Restrain him!" Shen Lie commanded Yuan Bin loudly as he opened the lid of the entrance with his foot, and then got into it without hesitation.

After about a cup of hot tea, Shen Lie appeared out of the secret passage again, and said in a deep voice: "There is a fork in the road, and the other party has used several blurry beads, so that I can't continue to track them." Alas, he was told to run away. ”

Yuan Bin walked to the side, wiped the blood on the blade in his hand, and said, "This guy outside was forced by me to tell the truth before he took his last breath, who do you guess the secret envoy is?" ”

Shen Lie was slightly stunned: "I only know that it's a woman, who is it?" ”

"The sweetheart of the former Murong Commander," Yuan Bin said in a deep voice, "Now the Lin'an lady of the puppet Jin King Li Ji, Rui Ji." ”

"Is that her?" Shen Lie was surprised: "Hasn't this woman been enjoying glory and wealth in Hangzhou?" How did you get here? ”

Yuan Bin sneered: "Lao Jianhua sent Rui Ji to the imperial capital to stir up the wind and rain, most of which is also related to women's affairs. ”

Shen Lie glanced at the bloodstains of corpses all over the house: "After Lao Jianhua's nest here, it will soon attract the attention of the government, let's go back and talk slowly." ”

-

When Rui Ji crawled out of the secret passage, her hair was scattered and covered in mud, and she was indescribably embarrassed. Fortunately, it is close to the western city wall, and it is overgrown with wild grass, but there are very few people, so it is not afraid of being discovered by the nearby residents.

She entered the city this afternoon, and before she had eaten dinner, she was caught off guard by Shen Lie. Not only was the stronghold of the imperial capital completely destroyed, but even he almost fell into the hands of the other party.

Now that the support forces in the city have been lost, Shen Lie is probably directing the people of the Intelligence Department of the Zhenjiang Army to search for her everywhere, where to go next, Rui Ji has no idea for a while.

She tidied up her clothes a little, pulled her hair back together, and looked around blankly, her heart sad. At this time, it has passed three o'clock in the unitary hour, and the curfew has begun in the imperial capital, and the doors of the fangs everywhere are closed and locked.

And at this moment, a warm sedan chair suddenly came slowly and leisurely in the distance, and a few lanterns in front of the sedan chair were the regulations of the palace.

At this time, the only people who can still wander around at will outside and are not controlled by the imperial capital patrol camp are those who are ordered to do business. The palanquin in the palace is one of them.

Rui Ji thought about it, and hurriedly walked to the side of the road, then leaned over and stopped on the road.

-

"Why did it stop?"

"Lord Hui, there is an unconscious woman on the side of the road, and the guards are checking on it."

"What's the matter? Hurry up, this official still has official business to deal with. ”

"Obey the order, get up!"

Ouyang Lin secretly scolded his subordinates for being troublesome and delaying their work, but at the same time, he raised his hand to open the curtain and looked out curiously.

When the sedan chair passed by Rui Ji, his heart tightened suddenly.

Vaguely, Ouyang Lin felt that the woman's side face was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

A very uncomfortable feeling came over me instantly.

He subconsciously stomped on the sedan board, signaled the sedan chair driver to stop and get off the sedan chair immediately, and then lifted the sedan curtain and got out of it.

Seeing this, the accompanying guards hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Ouyang Lin glanced at Rui Ji on the ground and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Your Excellency, you're just in a coma. I think I'm sick, or hungry. ”

"Looking at her outfit, she is not a homeless or a runaway, how could she pass out on the side of the road?" Ouyang Lin frowned and said, "It's remote and uninhabited here, and it's getting late, so I'm afraid that if you drag it out overnight, you'll be worried about your life." In this case, you can carry her on your back and go back to the guard with your official first. ”

The guard agreed, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Rui Ji, who was pretending to be unconscious, and followed the warm sedan all the way to the imperial city.

Ouyang Lin is the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Forbidden Army, although his official position is not high, but because he is specifically responsible for the command and task of Emperor Li Bing, he has his own independent courtyard and guard. He returned to his lodgings and instructed his men to put Rui Ji in the guest room first, ask the military doctor to come and treat her, and then bring him to see him when he woke up.

After the matter was arranged, Ouyang Lin turned around and went to the signing room, while sorting out all the information on the secret investigation of Wei Zixuan, he wondered in his mind where he had seen that woman.

While his hands were busy, Ouyang Lin seemed to have been struck by lightning suddenly, and suddenly froze motionless on the spot, and his eyes widened suddenly: he finally remembered that the unconscious woman just now had indeed seen it before, and it was in the Eastern Capital Luoyi!

When he escaped death from the hands of the Xuanjia Army, he once visited Murong Xue and thanked Zhan Shi of the East Palace for his rescue. In the other party's house, it was the woman who served him tea.

Murong Xue's wife, Rui Ji?!

Although there was only one side, Ouyang Lin was sure that he had not admitted his mistake, he put down the document in his hand and slowly stood up, but his thoughts were running rapidly:

Not long after I left the patrol camp, Xie Guang rebelled, detained the emperor and Murong Xue, and placed him under house arrest. Later, Li Jiangyao was entrusted by Shen Lie to lead the Northern Ya Rebellion Division to make trouble in Luoyi and successfully rescued the two, which led to the later emperor's ascension to the throne and the gathering of troops to resist the enemy.

However, during that operation, Murong Xue's wife, Rui Ji, was not rescued. First, it was rumored that she died under the knife, and later I heard that she was not actually dead, but was included in the account by Li Jiong, the puppet king of the Jin Dynasty, and was named Mrs. Lin'an.

How did this woman end up here now? And why is he alone on the side of the road?

Ouyang Lin vaguely felt that there might be a huge and hidden conspiracy behind Rui Ji's appearance, and this conspiracy itself may also be related to Wei Zixuan and Yin Chengyi.

Such a coincidental encounter, is it used against me?

With this question, Ouyang Lin left the signing room and slowly came to the guest room where Rui Ji lived, and happened to meet the guards coming out of it.

"Adult ......"

Before the guard's words were finished, Ouyang Lin made a silent gesture, and then motioned for the other party to follow him to a distant place to speak.

"How's the guy?"

"Oh, I'm awake. Lang Zhong said that judging from the pulse, it should be caused by fright, but the body is fine. ”

Ouyang Lin nodded, and asked again, "Did she tell her identity and origin?" ”

The guard replied: "The girl said that her surname is Mu, and she is from Caizhou, and she came to the imperial capital to join her relatives." Unexpectedly, her relatives had already moved away because of the war, and she was unfortunately robbed and molested by ruffians, and fled in panic all the way, so she fainted on the road. ”

"Surname Mu? Caizhou from? A cold light flashed in Ouyang Lin's eyes, and he asked lightly, "What else did she say?" ”

The guards didn't know the situation, and Wu Zi introduced: "Miss Mu said that she thanked the adults for saving her life, but this is the official barracks, and she is a little scared to stay, so she wants to leave the city and return home after dawn." The lowly is about to report this matter to you, and you have come by chance, my lord. ”

Ouyang Lin's eyes rolled: "Did you mention this official to her?" ”

The guard hurriedly shook his head: "How can a lowly position be so ignorant of the rules?" We can't easily mention it to outsiders. I only told her that this was the territory of the forbidden army, so she didn't have to worry. ”

"Good, good." Ouyang Lin bowed slightly: "From now on, neither you nor anyone else can reveal the slightest news of this official to this Mu girl." You go and tell her that there is a major case in the imperial capital, and Jingzhao Yin Mansion is arresting people under martial law everywhere, and she can't leave the city for the time being. Just to be on the safe side, just stay here. ”

The guard was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean...... House arrest for her? ”
