The perfect companion here with bean curd is the fritters. The golden fritters that have just been put in the pot have a large amount of oil, but they are fragrant and crispy, and they crunch in the mouth, and such a mouthful of bean curd and a mouthful of fritters are eaten for half an hour, and the cold air of early winter does not know where to be driven.

Yan Saburo's appetite is a bit large, and the bean curd is served in a sea bowl bigger than his face, and he eats four bowls. He only needed ten fritters, because he also asked for eight pumpkin pancakes.

Originally, he should have been able to swallow the ninth cake, but He Xiaoyuan walked out of the gate of a carriage and horse shop opposite him and sat down directly opposite him.

"Let's have a bowl of bean curd and pour the marinade. ”

Yan Saburo couldn't help but stare at her twice, and He Xiaoyuan stroked his face: "Isn't it scary?"

"Nope. "Tsubazaburo is polite," just right. ”

He Xiaoyuan changed her appearance.

She was a beauty, and there was no woman who didn't love beauty, but her appearance hindered her next move, after all, a beautiful girl attracted attention wherever she went. In addition to painting thick eyebrows, Yihe Xiaokite also used a little medicine, which made his cheeks swollen, his lips thickened, and his originally white cheeks grew freckles.

It's funny, just doing such a little bit of tricks, the pretty and delicate beauty becomes mediocre, but Yan Saburo can still recognize her at a glance, after all, the outline of her facial features is still there.

It can be seen that the "beauty" comes from the exquisite collocation, and less is not enough.

Yan Saburo's back was immediately scratched twice by the cat. He understood and expressed his interest in the craft.

He Xiaoyuan smiled slightly: "This is not a disguise technique, it is just a poison, and if you make a mistake, you will regret it for life." ”

She used poison to make changes in parts of her face, and if there was a slight difference in dosage and usage, it would be a big problem.

A cat meow came from behind Yan Saburo, but he heard Chitose say stupidly, "Forget it." ”

It's too much trouble.

In less than ten breaths, the bean curd was served. He Xiaoyuan said to Yan Saburo while blowing hot air: "There is two news. ”

"First, I found out that the Liao family in the prison lost their heads yesterday. ”

Yan Saburo looked up in surprise: "Including Liao Qing too?"

"This morning, the heads of the Liao family were thrown into a mass grave, and there was no Liao Qing in it. ”

The white cat popped out of the bookcase and meowed.

Yan Saburo stroked its head: "I can save it." ”

He Xiaoyuan said, "What did it say?" She now knows that this cat is extremely spiritual.

"It's nothing, it's suffocating inside, trying to get out and breathe. Yan Saburo smiled and said nonsense. On the way back to the central part of Shengyi, he carefully kept the relationship between Chitose and the white cat secret, and did not let He Xiaoyuan and Han Zhao know. After all, this is one of their soft underbellies. "It seems that King Wei is ready to escape. ”

He Xiaoyuan raised her eyebrows: "What do you say?"

"If he doesn't leave, why kill people?" Yan Saburo looked around, "If he wants to escape from the capital, he will kill all the Liao family, and it is enough to leave only one Liao Qing as a backhand." ”

He Xiaoyuan sighed twice: "It makes sense!" is indeed in line with the heart of King Wei.

The white cat scratched Yan Saburo's back in dissatisfaction. Hey, this is obviously her opinion, okay, this kid is so arrogant that he pirates, it's shameless!

Yan Saburo smiled, revealing his white teeth. Who made her unable to speak?

"What about the second message?"

He Xiaoyuan pointed to the car and horse shop she walked out with her backhand: "This family has news." ”

"My man works here, and he said that the third steward of the Yao Mansion suddenly came over yesterday evening and ordered twelve carriages, large and small. ”

"Yao Mansion?" Yan Sanlang's eyes condensed slightly, "That Yao of the Empress Dowager Yao?"

"Yes. The corners of He Xiaoyi's mouth lifted slightly, "He also asked for an ordinary carriage, and the body should not have special marks." The horses pulling the cart should also be selected, and the concentrate should be fed and washed in advance. ”

He Xiaoyuan couldn't help but sneer when he said this: "You expected it right, King Wei is going to leave Shengyi and run away!"

Yan Saburo nodded slowly, his face heavy.

Counting it up, the news of Han Zhao's defection should also reach the ears of King Wei. Sanlongjiang couldn't stop the Zhenbei Army and the Brown Army, and King Wei should have understood that the situation was urgent when he received the news, and it was even more sinister for him.

The main forces of the patriotic army are stationed outside. The southeastern front was dragged down by the 70,000 troops, and the North Central Army and the South Central Army combined with 40,000 people, but they were bitten to death by the Brown Army on Fenglai Mountain; the Zhenbei Army, which was able to fight well, suddenly turned against the water, and the court army sent out was persuaded to surrender, and now there is only a garrison of less than 20,000 people defending the national capital!

A huge Wei Guo, not long ago, it was overwhelming the country, but now the Wei Wang suddenly has no soldiers in his hands. The prospect of guarding Shengyi does not look very optimistic.

Of course, as the king of a country, in addition to fighting back, there is also a way out.

That is to run away.

As long as they can successfully delay time, the armies of the southeast front and the south will always return to King Qin in the north, and King Wei will still have a chance to wait for the day when he will turn over and recapture Shengyi.

Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood.

Yan Saburo and He Xiaoyuan rushed back to Shengyi in advance, just for fear that King Wei would evacuate earlier. Cangwu Stone is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the royal family, and there is a high probability that King Wei will take it with him, Yan Saburo doesn't want to work hard for months and finally pounce.

As for He Xiaoyuan, the purpose is even simpler: he just doesn't want King Wei to escape.

However, they were outside the palace and could not confirm the emperor's intentions. Is King Wei going to flee or staying? The palace kept it strictly secret, and they could only judge from the clues.

The royal court also needs the Shengyi army and people to work together to resist the Zhenbei army, even if King Wei intends to anoint the soles of his feet, he will not leak this news to the civilians.

Therefore, He Xiaoyuan has mobilized the sentinels planted by people in Shengyi in the past few days to inquire about the changes in the homes of major prominent families.

Although King Wei is known as a lonely man, he will never run away alone, and he will definitely be accompanied by powerful nobles. It is already very unkind for him to throw down the civilians of the city, if he leaves the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty again, and he quickly slips away first, then he will be a veritable commander of the light pole in the future.

If King Wei wants to be his king after he flees, someone must support him. The henchmen of the old Xiao family who have spent a lot of effort to cultivate, it is a pity to give up like this.

And if these magnates want to move, they have to pack up the gold and silver, turn things upside down, and sell their fields, right?

Shengyi has been prosperous for a hundred years, and these nobles have a very rich family background, so where can they deal with it in a short period of time?

If you're busy, you're prone to mistakes.

King Wei can block the information of the escape, but these clues are not something that can be sealed if you want to. Caring people like Yan Saburo and He Xiaoyuan will definitely be able to find flaws.

Sure enough, on the third day of arriving in Shengyi, He Xiaoyuan caught the exposed horse's feet in Yaofu.
