Chapter 48: Secret Passage
The closure of the city gates meant that her and Li Wen's original plans would be completely disrupted.
Li Wen also looked at Shen Jiangge worriedly, lowered his voice and said, "Jiangge, I have an ominous premonition......
"Don't panic yet, we don't know if the news is true or not. We'll find out when we get closer to the walls and around the walls. ”
Although Shen Jiangge also felt that this matter was unusual, she still calmly gave Li Wen a look and motioned for him to follow carefully behind him and not make a sound.
- She could see that these strong men with white scarves on their heads seemed to be going to gather somewhere.
- The number of the other party is not small, if you accidentally snoop on the other party's secret, I am afraid that there will be more trouble at that time.
In everything, it is better to be careful.
Li Wen comprehended, and quickly lowered the brim of his hat, deliberately avoiding these people wearing white scarves.
Fortunately, these people seem to be in a hurry to do something, but no one embarrass the inconspicuous Shen Jiangge and Li Wen.
Following the path, Shen Jiangge and Li Wen quickly groped their way to the city gate.
They leaned against the wall, hid in the shadows, and poked their heads out to look at the gates.
Sure enough, as those people said, not only were the city gates closed, but even the city gates and city walls had more than ten times more troops than on normal days.
"How could this tiny town of Pingning suddenly have so many troops? Strange, I've never seen so many well-trained officers and soldiers in town......"
Li Wen grew up here since he was a child, and Shen Jiangge naturally believed what he said.
Shen Jiangge frowned, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Will it be ......?"
"Could it be Mo Jin's elite soldier who trained privately?"
Li Wen's eyes also sank suddenly, and he said in a low voice.
"Well, you thought of going with me."
Shen Jiangge nodded silently, lowered his voice and said, "If this is really the case, then you and I are in danger." Most likely, these officers and soldiers are coming for us. ”
"Is it because I am a descendant of the Li Mansion, and you have a peerless military scripture?"
Li Wen smiled softly at Shen Jiangge, but the words he said made Shen Jiangge stunned in place.
"How do you know ......"
Shen Jiangge was shocked in his heart, but he still remained calm on his face.
- She didn't expect this kid to know this.
"Actually, when I woke up that day, my aunt suddenly disappeared, and the booklet I had been carrying with me was gone, and I began to think that something was wrong."
"Later, when you offered to take me out of here, I could sense that you were saying this out of protection, and from that point on, I began to suspect that the booklet might not be simple. Maybe...... That is the Book of War that the world remembers. ”
"Later, I learned from Miss Yun'er that Mo Jinzhan had the true intention of returning to Pingning Town this time, and the Li Mansion you fought to the death against me that night, and the speculation in my heart was confirmed."
Li Wen still smiled gently and said lightly.
"I can't imagine that you look stupid and stupid on weekdays, but secretly you have so many hearts......"
Shen Jiangge smiled, hammered him on the chest, and said with relief: "Well, since you know everything, then this book of soldiers will be returned to its original owner." ”
With that, she was going to take out the book of war from her bosom.
But in the next second, Li Wen shook his head with a smile and stopped her and said, "No need, since my aunt has decided to leave it to you, she must have a reason." I believe that she has been fighting all her life and will definitely not look at the wrong person. ”
"What's more, in this embattled situation now, it is safer for you to carry it than for me to carry it."
Only then did Shen Jiangge squint his eyes and carefully look at the once stupid Li Wen in front of him, and was secretly taken aback in his heart.
After a while, she smiled and said, "I thought you were stupid to read the sage books, but I didn't expect that you were very clever at a critical time." ”
- "Tell me, how much more do you have to hide from me?" Hmm——? ”
Shen Jiangge deliberately approached Li Wen and asked half-jokingly and seriously.
"No, no. Carving insect skills, not enough to hang teeth, not enough to hang teeth, hehehe......"
Li Wen stepped back and waved his hand again and again, looking like he couldn't resist.
"Hmph~ That's pretty much it. It seems that I have to be careful with you in the future, lest I don't understand if you sell me one day. ”
Shen Jiangge smiled and stepped back, letting Li Wen go.
"No, it won't! I, Li Wen, am not the kind of person who betrays my friends!! ”
Li Wen raised his head with his neck thick, looking stubborn as "a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated".
"Okay, okay, I'll tease you."
Shen Jiangge was afraid that his voice would be too high to attract officers and soldiers, so he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then the military scripture will be put here for the time being, and it will be returned to you when I get out of this Pingning Town." ”
"This won't work! I ......"
Li Wen raised his head and was anxious to refuse, but he heard Shen Jiangge lower his voice and said-
"Don't argue with me about this yet. This is a place of right and wrong, and in my opinion, it is better to go first. As for how to get out of the city, we can only see if there is a suitable time. “
Li Wen nodded desperately after hearing this, then pointed to the back of the blacksmith shop on the side, and whispered: "I just saw people coming in and out of the back of the shop, there must be a path to walk." ”
"Yours is yours."
Shen Jiangge was impressed with this nerd again, and she punched Li Wen on the chest again, causing the "delicate" Li Wen to grin for a while.
Shen Jiangge waited for him to finish his "pain", gave him a helpless look, and took Li Wen to walk quickly towards the back of the blacksmith shop along the wall.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were just patrolling back and forth, interrogating the people who were about to pass through the city gate, and no one noticed the two people in the corner, which allowed the two to move their positions smoothly.
When passing by the blacksmith shop, Shen Jiangge took a special look at the blacksmith shop that used to be hot and sparkling.
But I saw that the things in the shop were still there, and even before the fire was extinguished, wisps of dark red sparks were still burning, and suddenly there would be a "pop-" splash of countless sparks.
But strangely, the old man and the young man are gone.
"Jiang Ge, what are you looking at? Let's go! ”
Shen Jiangge was stunned for a while before he was awakened by Li Wen's urging.
"Here we are."
Shen Jiangge hurriedly replied, looking back at the blacksmith shop, and suddenly felt an indescribable faint uneasiness in his heart.
Before she had time to think about it, she was dragged by Li Wen into a narrow passage that could only pass the two of them.
And in the chaos, she didn't notice that the figure of a man in white clothes faded out of the place where they had just stayed.
The man stood with the piano in his hand, his veil moving with the wind, and his deep and bottomless eyes were filled with endless complex feelings.
He watched Shen Jiangge go farther and farther away and remained silent, and after a long time, he untied the wine bag on his waist and poured it violently.
In the wind, he whispered, "It's time to finish." ”
A gust of wind blew, and his robe moved like a flickering shadow, as if he had never been here before.
