Lan Sishao hurriedly said no, "I heard Xia Qingrou say that I want to kill you." If you appear, Xia Qingrou will definitely kill you at all costs, so let the dark guard go. ”

Xia Qingli politely refused, "Several secret guards here are injured to varying degrees, and they have been guarding day and night, where can they survive." ”

"I have a way not to be discovered. Stay here and I'll bring you something to eat later." ”

Lan Sishao and the others stayed up all night here, and they must have eaten nothing.

Lan Sishao couldn't persuade Xia Qingli, so he could only tell her to be careful and not to clash with Xia Qingrou head-on.

Xia Qingli left two pills and asked Lan Sishao to take them when Cai Ying's wound was bleeding or her injuries had changed, and then she went out of the mountain pass.

She did not enter Pingling County directly, but quietly came to the iron ore area.

Iron ore is a state-controlled thing, and it is not allowed to be walked in the surrounding area, and even if you approach it, you will be warned.

Xia Qingli hid under a tree, looked at the entrance and exit of the iron mine, and used his wind ability to feel the situation in the iron mine.

There were a lot of tools and some mined iron ore parked in the clearing, but no one was there. It is estimated that Cai Ying and the others had already startled the snake yesterday, and the other party withdrew first.

If they are withdrawn, they will leave their tails, and there are still people searching for Cai Ying and them.

After the exploration of the wind ability, Xia Qingli discovered some people hidden in the iron mine. This group of people is not working in an iron mine, judging from their breathing, etc., they have a certain amount of martial arts.

Moreover, this place is almost two hundred meters away from the place where the iron ore is normally mined, and it is still in a special room.

Ambush?

This is most likely.

If such a big thing happened in Pingling County, the imperial court would definitely send someone to come.

It is impossible for people from the imperial court to bring too many people in to check. In addition, the people in the imperial court are not familiar with the situation inside, which gives the other party an opportunity.

But she couldn't understand, why did the other party do such a thing? Is there any benefit to be gained by dealing with the people sent by the imperial court? Or do you want to stir things up?

Xia Qingli, who couldn't figure it out for the time being, decided to sneak in directly, catch one and kill the rest, and see what the situation was, the harm of keeping these people was too great.

With the help of her wind abilities, she silently infiltrated the underground chamber.

A group of people were sitting there discussing, unaware.

"It doesn't matter if Cai Ying and Lan Si Shao die or not, the key is whether they can attract people from the court, this is the most important thing. Also, how long do we have to ambush here? ”

"It's supposed to be these two days. I just don't know who the court will come this time. ”

"Most likely, General Blue, this time involving iron ore. If it is really General Lan, we will solve him as planned and make the court chaotic, and it is best to be able to turn the Lan family against the water. ”

"It's too difficult for the Lan family to turn back, we haven't been able to win over the Lan family for so many years, but the Lan family is very important."

Xia Qingli heard a lot of useful information.

She raised her hand and saw several wind blades, harvesting the lives of everyone except the one in the center.

This is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and sinister eyes.

He looked at his companion who had fallen to the ground in a daze, and for a moment he didn't realize what had happened.

Until, a sharp blade against his neck.

The subtle pain made him a thriller.

"You, who are you? What do you want to do? ”

Who the hell is it? Why can they sneak in quietly and kill so many of them in an instant?

Xia Qingli hooked her lips slightly, "Do you have the right to ask?" ”

The middle-aged man trembled, "No, no!" ”

Until now, he knew one thing, that is, the reason why the other party did not kill him was to get useful information from him.

Xia Qingli was quite satisfied with his attitude, "I heard from you that you have been wooing the Lan family, how do you usually win over the Lan family?" ”

Under the threat of death, the middle-aged man didn't dare not tell the truth, "I don't know the specifics, I heard that it is from all aspects." For example, courtiers, young brothers, or subordinates from the Lan family. ”

"Except for a few marginal subordinates of the Lan family who were bought, the rest all failed."

He looked for an escape opportunity.

Xia Qingli saw his intentions and slightly increased the strength of his hand, "I advise you not to do things that you shouldn't do, otherwise if I go down with this knife, you will go to see the king of Hades." ”

The middle-aged man stiffened his body and didn't dare to make any more moves, "Don't worry, I promise I won't do anything I shouldn't do." ”

Xia Qingli continued to ask, "How long has Xia Qingrou been here?" What is she mainly responsible for? Where is she now? ”

The middle-aged man replied one by one, "Before there was anything wrong around Yuedu, Xia Qingrou would come from time to time. After something went wrong in Yuedu, she has been staying here, mainly in charge of buying people and iron ore. ”

"She's kind of connected to the above, although she can't control us, but we don't dare to provoke her. That woman is very vicious, and whoever dares to upset her will stab him to death. As for her now...... I don't know where she is, but after the accident here, she evacuated as soon as possible, probably to other mining areas. ”

Through understanding, Xia Qingli learned a lot of useful news. For example, there are many minerals that are controlled like this, and there are better in remote places. Those places are guarded by the army, and they are not so easy to penetrate.

"For the sake of your good explanation, I'll give you a good time." She wiped the other party's neck directly, and then went to Pingling County.

When she sneaked into Pingling County, she found that the city gate was closed, the doors of every house were closed, there was not even a pedestrian on the street, and all the shops were closed.

There was uneasiness in the air, as if a terrible monster would come out of nowhere at any moment and swallow people in one gulp.

Xia Qingli thought about it, came to the county office, and sneaked into the place where the county order's family lived.

When she arrived, she saw the county order family packing up their things in a panic.

"I don't want those big things, I don't want them at all, but I mainly take the fine, soft, gold and silver." The county commander was sweating in a panic, "Hurry up, hurry up, we must escape here before the court comes, otherwise we will all die." ”

The county lady, the concubine and the children cried and cried, messy, not to mention how messy the scene was. Partial birth, some subordinates took the opportunity to sell the deed of life and wanted to get rid of the status of slaves, which led to more chaos in the scene.

Xia Qingli hid in the dark to watch the excitement, and from time to time deliberately used vines to knock down the county commander and others to slow them down.

As for all the doors of the county office, they were all sealed by her with vines. Even on the wall, there are rattan thorns, and no one wants to leave from here.

After doing this, she wandered to a pharmacy to pack a bunch of medicines, then to the back kitchen of a restaurant, packed some meals and clean water, then to the pastry shop to pack some pastries, and finally to the ready-to-wear shop to pack a bunch of men's and women's clothes, and returned to the col.

Lan Si, who had been waiting, rarely saw her come back safely, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Xia is fine." ”

Xia Qingli handed him the things he was carrying, "You guys eat something first and change into clothes." I'll bring back everything I need to bring back. ”

Lan Sishao probably checked it and was surprised that she brought back such a complete set of things, "Miss Xia is really hidden, no wonder my father always says that my family is not blessed to marry you." ”

Even a few Secret Guards can't do that.

Xia Qingli sat on the ground to rest, it had been a long time since she had consumed abilities at such a high intensity, and she was really a little tired.

Lan Si rarely saw this and didn't bother her.

He took the medicine he needed, some food and clothing, and gave the rest to some of the guards: "You divide a share, and keep a part." ”

The injuries of several dark guards need to be treated, and the medicine came too timely.

When Xia Qingli rested properly, Lan Sishao and the others were also full of food and drink.

Xia Qingli asked: "Lan Sishao, do people often woo your family?" That kind of from all sides. ”

Lan Sishao didn't know why, but he also replied, "My father's position is there, and he has won the trust of the saints, so over the years, there have been many people who have won over my family, from all aspects. ”

"The most common thing is to start with a few of our brothers and sisters. Our brother and sister were too innocent when they were a few hours, and they were deceived a few times, but fortunately, my father and mother were vigilant enough, so nothing went wrong. After that, we would be followed everywhere we went, until we grew up. ”

There are also troubles about a good family background, but in general, a good family background is more beneficial.

When Xia Qingli heard this, he thought about it in combination with the clues he had learned. In other words, the Lan family has a decisive role in the plans of the people behind the scenes.

"Lan Sishao, can you summon your father? The person sent by the imperial court this time may be your father. ”

For the suppression of this kind of thing, the imperial court mostly sent trustworthy and experienced generals, such as General Lan.

Lan Sishao said no, "There are too many lurking enemies, and if we send a message, it will reveal our hiding location, and it will also easily bring danger to my father." The best way is to send someone to wait at the only intersection in Pingling County. ”

Xia Qingli disagreed with this method, "The city gate of Pingling County is already closed, and the county order family is busy escaping. I see that the people who closed the city gate were not the county commanders, but the people who hid in the shadows. ”

She didn't stay in Pingling County for long, and she couldn't be sure how many people were hiding in Pingling County, and whether those people were good.

Don't underestimate the people, some people can do anything for the sake of profit and themselves.

Lan Si was less worried, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It would be terrible if my father was calculated."

Xia Qingli, "...... Please be in your right mind, your father has been on the battlefield, and he knows the situation here, how can he be easily calculated? ”

"I'm worried that the other party will disguise themselves as ordinary people, which is the most troublesome point."

Lan Sishao's neck felt cold when he heard this, "This ...... If that's the case, then we have to take precautions in advance. Does Miss Xia have a good idea? ”
