Early the next morning, Yang Zhi met with the civet in the teahouse two streets away, the two just nodded lightly, pretending not to be very familiar, the civet chose a table against the wall, Yang Zhi stood and said a few words, before sitting down next to the civet, facing the door of the teahouse; there were no other guests in the teahouse, unlike the business of the restaurant opposite, as usual, it was as good as ever, and it was full of people. After Dr. Tea served tea, he still stood at the door of the teahouse, waiting for the guests while greeting the neighbors who passed by.

Yang Zhi lifted the lid of the tea bowl and asked, "Did you follow yesterday?"

The civet cat is an assassin, and what he is best at is tracking and lurking, there was such a big movement last night, and there is no reason for the civet not to move; the civet was expressionless, like a person who had just woken up from a late night, and whispered: "I followed, I followed to the Wu Balcony, where there is a big courtyard, saying that they were hiding; there was a big man, Xiao Yixue, and the people who searched were his subordinates, but I heard a good news, Yelu Ma Ge was on the way to escort the Huanglong Mansion, he was rescued by Master Tianxin, and now he has arrived in Shangjing and served as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan." ”

The civet heard Yang Zhi briefly talk about what happened in Xianzhou, and knew that Yelu Ma Ge was very important to Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi groaned and said: "No wonder Yanyun Hall keeps having accidents, Master Sigong is anxious to kill me, they are preparing to let Yelu Chun be the emperor in Nanjing after the loss of Shangjing and Zhongjing." In this way, Tongyi's case is very suspicious, but now we can't protect ourselves, so let's go to Da Song tomorrow. ”

The civet thought and said, "Tomorrow you go first, I will follow you, if there are only one or two blind ones, I will help you clear them, and when we meet a large group of people, we will escape." In fact, the most important thing is the new city, which is a point that we can't bypass, and Xiao Yixue is likely to have sent someone there to defend it. ”

"Xiao Yixue may have other things to do, and he may not be able to take care of us. Yang Zhi smiled and said: "As long as the wanted documents of the government do not come out, everything is in time, if we see the documents at the city gate tomorrow morning, we will go in the direction of the Yongding River, it is a big deal to find a boat to cross the river, and take one step at a time." However, in order to reduce the pressure of tomorrow, I have to find something for Xiao Yixue to do today. ”

The civet smiled: "You don't have to worry about these things, last night I killed five people in black near a big courtyard, but the strange thing is that until now, the other party has not searched this street." ”

"It's already here. Yang Zhi's eyes fell on a man wearing a robe at the door of the teahouse, the blue robe was very new and dazzling, but Yang Zhi recognized the face on the side, it was the man who had been on the shift last night; Yang Zhi said quietly: "If you show your hand, people will definitely not feel at ease, and today the people in the city must be inquiring about the news, to see who dares to openly make enemies with them and dare to underestimate them." ”

Yang Zhi's position was seen very clearly, and the husband walked to the door of the restaurant, thought about it and walked back, went directly into the teahouse, came to the table of the two, and said with a smile: "Look at the two of you are not all the way, what are you talking about?"

I see, Yang Zhi's outfit is like a solid family, and the civet cat is a small businessman who runs a single gang, what can such two people have in common; Yang Zhi knew that he couldn't be quiet, and asked unhappily: "Who are you, so many things." “

The husband didn't care about Yang Zhi's attitude, took out a waist card and said: "I am a member of the palace tent army, I suspect that you are plotting against you, who are you?"

Yang Zhi stood up coldly and said: "What about the palace tent army, is it that you are also in charge of local affairs now, I remember that there is no palace tent army in Zhuozhou." ”

Dr. Tea walked after the husband, looking uncomfortable, and said in a panic: "My lord, if you have something to say outside, I am a small businessman who runs a small business, but I depend on this teahouse to survive." “

Yang Zhi stood up, smiled and said to Dr. Cha, "Don't worry, we'll leave now." ”

The husband stepped forward to stop Yang Zhi, sneered and said, "Can you go?"

Before the husband could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ribs, looked down and saw that a short sword had pierced into his body, and the huge pain made him unable to say a word anymore, and on the way to fall, he was held down by the civet cat and moved to a bench by the wall; Dr. Tea was so frightened that he was about to shout, but was slapped unconscious by Yang Zhi and placed on a tea table. Yang Zhi whispered: "I'll go first, I'll pick up Li Wanhua out of the city immediately, don't need the mule cart, you be our coachman, wait for us in front of the pastry shop on South Street." ”

Yang Zhi bought a carriage on the day he entered Zhuozhou, originally intended to be Yang Zhi pretending to be a coachman, but now he can only change the plan, Yang Zhi goes first, in case someone is found dead, the most suspicious thing is the civet cat who left behind, and the officials are searching for people who are similar to the civet cat.

After Yang Zhi finished speaking, he left the teahouse and went back to pick up Li Wanhua; the civet cat picked up the waist card that fell on the ground, searched the body of the husband, and then slowly went out, and quickly disappeared into the crowd. The civet cat walked to the pastry shop on South Street, chose three kinds of pastries, asked the man to bandage them, paid the money, and looked back to see Yang Zhi coming in a carriage, Yang Zhi had already changed his outfit; Yang Zhi nodded slightly, stopped the carriage, and the civet got into the carriage and sat in the position of the deputy.

In the eyes of passers-by, the civet cat is a subordinate who came out to buy pastries in advance, Li Wanhua lifted the curtain, revealing a jade face like a flower and asked, and the civet proposed pastries into the carriage. After changing his clothes behind the curtain and restoring his original appearance, the civet cat came out on another street, changed places with Yang Zhi, and whipped the car.

Under the sunshine, the south gate was full of people and cars, a busy and prosperous scene, not surprisingly, in addition to the normal officers and soldiers at the city gate, there were also groups of people from the rivers and lakes; the carriage slowly drove out of the car with the long procession, after all, there was a new city and county directly bordering the Great Song Dynasty in front, and the inspection of the officers and soldiers was not strict. The officer who stopped the carriage just asked the civet, "Where are you going, who is in the carriage?"

"My lord and wife went to Xincheng to visit relatives. The civet replied without hesitation, and the officer stepped forward to open the curtain, and saw Yang Zhi pretending to be a middle-aged man and a young and beautiful Li Wanhua, he smiled, put down the curtain and said, "Your lord is so blessed, and it costs two taels of silver to go out of the city." ”

Although Zhuozhou is a smuggling city, only horses are strictly forbidden to smuggle from the north to the south, so they are more sloppy to ordinary people, and there is no goods in the lonely carriage, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door think of making money; the civet has been observing the movement of the people in front of him out of the city, knowing that it is a custom, and taking out more than two taels of broken silver and handing it over, he was let out of the city.
