Wei Xiaoyue and Lan Jiuming walked downstream along the river bank, and after walking for about an hour, they saw that the guards here were a little weak, and decided to cross the river from here!

The two of them jumped lightly on the shore, floating lightly in the center of the Hunjiang River, their feet pointing to the water, looking at the north bank.

Lan Jiuming did a good job and went ashore first, followed by Wei Xiaoyue. As soon as they came ashore, they quickly hid and flew away from the shore as soon as the patrolling soldiers passed.

At first, they flew over the road with light skills, but then they saw the village, and their footsteps began to slow down, and finally the two of them got on the official road and walked towards Phoenix.

Phoenix City is the largest city on the north bank, about 100 miles away from the Hunjiang River, and the defenders of the ferry on the Hunjiang River are basically the people of Phoenix, and even Guo Zitao's home is also in Phoenix.

Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue followed the crowd to successfully avoid the interrogation and entered Phoenix City, which was very lively, and its prosperity was much higher than that of the cities near Naguze.

"Let's go around the General's Mansion!"

Lan Jiuming took Wei Xiaoyue to inquire all the way, and when he arrived at Guo Zitao's mansion, there were layers of guards outside, and they were heavily guarded.

Diagonally opposite the gate of the mansion, there were a few simple tables and chairs Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue took a closer look, it turned out to be a porridge shop, there was only one old man busy in this porridge shop, they had a total in their hearts, the two stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat?"

"Two guest officers, I only have porridge and some side dishes, but there are no side dishes!"

"Let's have two bowls of porridge!"

"Okay!"

Soon, the old man brought two bowls of steaming porridge in front of them, "Two slow use!"

Lan Jiuming remained silent, and Wei Xiaoyue slowly drank porridge, after a while, there were no other guests in the porridge shop, and Lan Jiuming talked to the old man: "The shopkeeper, you can set up a stall opposite the General's Mansion, there must be someone in the mansion!"

The old man was cleaning up the table, and he didn't look up, but he followed Lan Jiuming's words: "Don't hide it from the two of you, Mrs. Guo's Mansion and I are fellow villagers, so I am allowed to set up a porridge shop here, and the soldiers on patrol will come to me to drink hot porridge after they are on duty!"

"Does the shopkeeper still know Mrs. Guo?"

Hearing Wei Xiaoyue's tone with envy, the old man was even more proud, "Mrs. Guo is a good person, she was originally from the same village as me, and later married General Guo and came to Phoenix City with him, as long as the people from our village come to defect, Mrs. Guo will arrange a livelihood!"

Lan Jiuming asked further, "Then how long have you been here?"

The old man stopped what he was doing, stood up, rubbed his sore waist, and muttered, "It's been ten years for this moment!"

After speaking, the old man not only sighed: "Hey, life, how many decades can there be!"

As soon as the words fell, four or five fast horses galloped over from a distance, stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, and a handsome man got off the horse, with a graceful demeanor and a paper fan in his hand, and entered the gate in a dashing manner.

"Who is this person?" Lan Jiuming asked curiously.

The old man said: "This is General Guo's cousin, Luo Yutang, who has been living in the General's Mansion recently!"

"Cousin?" Lan Jiuming frowned, "Has General Guo been in the mansion recently?"

"He rarely goes back to his home recently, and I heard that the battle in Jiangnan is very fierce, so he has been inspecting the military situation by the river these days, and occasionally comes back once or twice!"

Wei Xiaoyue asked curiously, "How do you know this?"

The old man said mysteriously: "My porridge shop was closed until the middle of the night, and I know the movement of the gate of the General's Mansion clearly, and the people up and down the General's Mansion have come to me to drink porridge, and I know what is going on inside!"

Lan Jiuming smiled and said, "I don't believe it!"

The old man also smiled, "If you don't believe me, I can't help it!"

"How much do you know about that Luo Yutang who entered just now?"

The old man sat on the chair next to Lan Jiuming and said, "You said him, I really don't know much about him, I only know that he is both civil and military, and he is very favored by General Guo!"

Lan Jiuming had a hint of something unusual, and he wanted to further confirm, "Is Luo Yutang married?"

"Not yet, such a handsome future life does not worry about marriage events!"

Lan Jiuming pondered for a moment, took out the silver to pay for the meal, and left the porridge shop with Wei Xiaoyue.

"I always feel that this Luo Yutang is not a peaceful person!"

Hearing Wei Xiaoyue say this, Lan Jiuming became interested, "Oh?

"He was dressed very well, completely different from the group of sergeants, his eyes were like water, flickering, and he gave me the impression of being frivolous in appearance!"

Lan Jiuming nodded and said, "You're right, Guo Zitao is a martial artist, he lives in the military camp all the year round and doesn't return for several months, but this Luo Yutang lives very comfortably in the General's Mansion, and I feel ...... when I think about it."

"You mean ......"

"It's just a guess, it's hard to say!" Lan Jiuming looked at Wei Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, we only have less than 100,000 soldiers on our way to the north, and we have to pass through many cities along the way, have you ever thought about what to do?"

Wei Xiaoyue had a sad face and said: "Old General Yang has been stubbornly guarding the Broken Valley for so many years, and he also knows that it is extremely difficult to hit Luo Xing Palace, and now the situation is that the arrow has to be sent on the string, so he can only take one step at a time!"

"I think that you don't have to fight like this, now you have to fight hard, and if you don't have a good reputation, you will only be detained as a rebel!"

"Brother Ming, do you have any good ideas?"

"The march and war must be famous, you are the princess of the Eastern God Department, Xiaofeng is the righteous prince, the successor to the throne, you can raise the banner, spread the East God Department, and command the world in the name of the royal family, so that many people will respond, when the time comes, our soldiers and horses are strong, and we are still worried that we can't beat the King of Dongming?"

Wei Xiaoyue said excitedly: "Brother Ming, your words let me clear the clouds and see the sunny sky, there are many people in the Eastern God Department who are dissatisfied with the King of Dongming, I believe that as soon as the text comes out, it will definitely be able to make waves!"

Lan Jiuming thought for a while and said, "Now Phoenix City is an opportunity, if we can pay Guo Zitao, then it will be a great benefit to us, and it will also have a positive effect on the future march!"

Wei Xiaoyue's joy was overflowing, "It would be best if we could get General Guo Zitao's help, but how to get him to defect to us?"

Lan Jiuming said: "I already have a plan in my heart, let's start with this Luo Yutang, let's go into the General's Mansion tonight to investigate!"

They guarded near the General's Mansion until dark, until the subordinates came out to change the wick at the door, Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue saw that the guards were lax, and they climbed over the wall and entered the General's Mansion.

They whispered on the roof of the house without touching the ground, and then there was a burst of bells from the south side of the General's Palace!

"What kind of sound is this?" Wei Xiaoyue asked.

Lan Jiuming looked at the sky, and then said, "It should be a notice of opening a meal!"

"I've never heard of a bell ringing for dinner!"

"You have been in Luoxing Palace since you were a child, and eating is not as lively as outside, generally large households have a large population, and meals are notified by ringing the bell, and hundreds of people eat together, which is very spectacular!"

After Lan Jiuming finished speaking, he flew up to the highest place with Wei Xiaoyue, "The view here is good, let's observe here and see where Luo Yutang and Mrs. Guo live?"

The two of them hid in the shadows, looking at each one carefully, the strange thing was that they didn't find Luo Yutang, Wei Xiaoyue saw a richly dressed woman slowly entering the inner hall surrounded by several maids.

"That should be Mrs. Guo!" Wei Xiaoyue said, pointing at her.

"Where did Luo Yutang go?" Lan Jiuming was a little strange, "Could it be that he went out?"

It didn't take long for Mrs. Guo to leave the table and walk to her room, and as soon as she pushed the door open, she was hugged by a dark shadow.

Mrs. Guo was startled, and stretched out her fist to fight, but was held down, "Yuehong, why are you here!"

"Crazy you, the maids are still there!"

When Mrs. Guo saw that it was Luo Yutang, she pretended to be angry and punched him, Luo Yutang waved her hand, sent the maid down, closed the door and hugged Mrs. Guo and said, "I'm all right, they won't talk nonsense!"

"When General Guo comes back and sees you despise his wife, I have to break your legs!"

Luo Yutang sneered and said, "If it weren't for his status, I would have ...... a long time ago."

Mrs. Guo stepped forward and covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Luo Yutang picked her up and put her on the bed just about to make love, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside, Luo Yutang opened the door angrily, and a maid stood at the door, bowed her head and said, "General Guo is back!"

"What?" Luo Yutang asked in surprise, "Where is General Guo now?"

"I was in the front hall just now, and now I'm coming this way!"

Mrs. Guo hurriedly tidied up her clothes and walked out, "You leave quickly, if we are bumped into, we will not be able to survive!"

Luo Yutang let out a long sigh and walked away.

After Mrs. Guo cleaned up, she sat on the bed, and not long after, there was a hearty laugh from outside, and Guo Zitao strode in.

This scene was clearly seen by Lan Jiuming and Wei Xiaoyue on the roof, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, left from the roof, and followed Luo Yutang!
