Chapter Thirty-Seven: Reversal
"Making trouble?" Tang Shi grinned, "I'm ready."
Half an hour later, dinner time passed, the shops were closed, residents went to bed, and the streets were deserted, except for the occasional drunkard.
The door of Laofeng Inn is still open and the lobby is brightly lit. There are not many people on the first floor at this time, only the second lady who is busy cleaning up and the female boss who is making an abacus.
But not long after, three people came down from the second floor. The servant brought a carriage. The leader got in the carriage and left the inn towards the north gate.
Seeing this movement, Zhang Baoxuan and Sizhu, who were squatting behind the cart diagonally opposite, glanced at each other secretly.
Zhang Baoxuan said: "The situation has changed. Si Zhu, please go back and report the news, and I will follow."
Sizhu nodded, handed Zhang Baoxuan a bag of powdery stuff, and said, "This is special fluorescent powder. If she changes direction, mark her and we will follow her soon."
"Okay." Seeing that the carriage was about to go far, Zhang Baoxuan took the bag and caught up with it, running through the darkness. Si Zhu didn't waste any time and ran back directly.
After running for more than 200 meters, there were four people coming in the opposite direction in front of them. Their figures were familiar. When they got closer and closer, they saw their faces clearly and were pleasantly surprised.
Several people on the opposite side also recognized him. Tang Shi was surprised: "Hey Sizhu? Why did you come back? What happened?"
Sizhu didn't expect the four of them to come together. After being surprised, he quickly explained the situation: "The three of Duo Tu'er came out of the inn and left in a carriage. Towards the north gate, Brother Baoxuan has already followed. Why are you here?
Already?"
Tang Shi: "We are here to help you."
Fengling just thought for a moment and then hurried forward and said, "Let's go, let's follow him first."
There was no time to say more, and the five people ran up quickly.
The carriage could no longer be seen, but when they rushed to the north gate, they happened to see the north gate slowly closing, and through the gap, it happened to be the rear of the carriage leaving. But Zhang Baoxuan was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the newly closed city gate, several people were a little confused about the situation and hid under the eaves thirty meters away to talk.
Tang Shi lowered his voice and wondered: "What's going on? During the day, it was said that the north gate was closed and no one could enter or exit. How come it was allowed at night?"
Sizhu scanned the details on the road. There was no trace of fluorescent powder, and he felt that the situation was not good: "Brother Baoxuan may have left the city."
Fengling looked at the city gate without saying anything, fearing that there was a spy.
At this time, the guards said a few words to each other, locked the doors and left one by one. Within a few minutes, the north gate was no longer guarded.
"Laid off?" Tang Shi asked Fengling inexplicably: "What should I do now, pick the lock?"
Fengling nodded in agreement, walked over first, picked up the heavy iron lock and inspected it, saying, "This lock is very strong. If you try to break it with external force, it will definitely make a noise."
Tang Shi: "What should we do? Find a locksmith who knows how to pick locks?"
"Let me try." Mu Mingran stepped forward, looked at the lock for a while, then turned back to search for something on several people, and finally stopped at Fengling's head, reached out and pulled out Fengling's only white hairpin.
As soon as the hairpin was pulled out, the fixed bunch of hair suddenly spread out without restraint, scattered on the shoulders and across the contours of the cheeks, and the majestic facial features seemed to soften.
Sizhu happened to see this scene and couldn't help but take a few more glances. In fact, her appearance was not bad.
Fengling pushed her hair behind her ears and smiled helplessly.
After Mu Mingran got the tool, he

He put his sharp end in and fiddled with it a few times, and the lock opened. Tang Shi looked at it with bright eyes and admired it, and said: "Mumu, why didn't I know that your family is a locksmith!"
Mu Mingran ignored her, pushed open the heavy door, opened a gap for one person to pass, and took the lead to get through.
Fengling patted the back of Tang Shi's head: "Stop being poor and leave quickly."
Tang Shi shouted and followed.
Fengling, who was following Tang Shi, said some relaxed words and then her eyes fell on Mu Mingran, her eyes flashing. This lock-picking method was not something that ordinary locksmiths could develop. Such a technique, she had never seen before.
I've seen it in people of this species.
This Mu Mingran is probably not simple either.
Such speculation was just fleeting. Fengling kept her thoughts deep in her heart and looked ordinary.
There was a wilderness area behind the door, and the official road extended out. They used fire breakers to get close to the ground to explore, and found that the ruts were along the official road, so they quickly chased in this direction.
The time difference was not much, and the carriage should not have gone very far. Sure enough, as they walked, fluorescent powder occasionally fell in the middle of the road, like a landmark, guiding them in the direction. At the same time, they also got another good news.
, Zhang Baoxuan did not follow him.
Half a moment later, they caught up with the carriage.
Mu Mingran was faster and jumped onto the driver's seat of the carriage, kicking the driver to the ground.
"Yu~" The horse was forcibly stopped, and due to inertia, the entire carriage fell backwards. Duo Tuer in the carriage screamed.
The servant driving the car didn't know how to use fists or kicks. After he fell off, Tang Shi held him down with his backhand.
"How are you driving? Do you want to hit His Highness to death?" Duo Tu'er angrily opened the car curtain and cursed. Mu Mingran, who had just grabbed the seat, slowly turned his head and looked at her expressionlessly, and she immediately choked up.
, realized that he had been intercepted.
"You...who are you? What do you want to do?"
Fengling stepped forward from behind and was exposed to Duo Tuer's sight. She smiled and said to her: "Your Highness, do you still remember me?"
Duo Tuer used a little bit of moonlight to identify and couldn't believe it when she recognized it: "You, you, you, aren't you from the elite battalion? Why are you here? Are you here to arrest His Highness?" She immediately looked back at the back of the carriage,
I found there were two other people and I was scared.
"If you don't want to go with you, don't come here. Who are you from? One moment you save my highness, and the next moment you come after him." She was a little confused about Fengling's intention.
Save Duo Tuer? Several people present looked at Fengling in surprise.
Fengling's smile did not change and she answered calmly: "As a citizen of Fengyang, I naturally stand on Fengyang's side. It is also for Fengyang that I save His Highness, and now I want to prevent His Highness from bringing the news back to Dongxu and start a war because of Fengyang."
"
"Who said that His Highness is going to start a war?" Duo Tuer cleverly tried to reduce the hostility, "How about you let His Highness go and I promise not to start a war?"
Tang Shi rolled his eyes: "Believe you? Do you think we are fools?"
Duo Tu'er was anxious: "Then how can you believe it? Just tell me. As long as your highness can do it, I will do it."
"I can't believe what you say." Tang Shi didn't want to say more and said to Fengling: "Little Lingling, let's tie her up quickly. I want to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Fengling did not tie her up as she was told, but her smile deepened, but upon closer inspection, she found that the smile was actually a bit stiff, and her eyes were swirling, hiding something.
"Okay." She responded.
Tang Shi was surprised: "Why did you agree to this?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Little Lingling, you can't be deceived by this guy, just wait until I tie her up." She wanted to tie someone up, but she still had someone under her hand, so she didn't have any spare hands.
"Really? Are you willing to believe my Highness?" Duo Tuer was surprised.
Mu Mingran looked at Fengling and frowned, not understanding what she was planning. Fengling noticed something and glanced back, her eyes turned to the left, secretly giving a suspicious look to the left, Mu Mingran's eyes narrowed after receiving it.
, the body immediately tensed up and prepared for battle.
Fengling stretched out her palm to face her and said to Duo Tu'er: "However, I don't trust Your Highness very much. Why don't you give me a high-five as an alliance? Your Highness swears by your two-headed condor. If you violate it, your flesh and blood will be eaten by the condor."
."
"What's so difficult about this?"
Duduer breathed a sigh of relief and gave a high five in return.
But as soon as her hand touched Fengling's palm, it was instantly grabbed by the backhand and twisted outward. She fell forward with her hand, and something cold pressed against her throat and pressed inward, causing a slight sting.
She was shocked: "What are you doing! You are going back on your word!"
Mu Mingran slowly pulled out the knife he carried with him and stared closely at the position of the woods on the left.
Fengling sneered, raised her voice and shouted towards the forest on the left: "Why, you have been lying in wait for so long, don't you plan to come out?"
The night was so quiet that only the sounds of insects and the blowing wind were left. Fengling's words echoed for a long time, and the other party was silent for a long time. They didn't show up, and Fengling didn't make any next move. It was just a stalemate.
Just when she thought her judgment was wrong, more than a dozen people walked out of the shadows in the forest. After seeing Zhang Baoxuan among them, who was gagged and bound, Tang Shi was shocked. What was going on? Only now did she realize that Zhang Baoxuan was missing.
"Bah, bang, bang," the man in the middle clapped his hands, "I'm really capable. I was going to catch you all right away, but I didn't expect that you found out. But it doesn't matter, you still can't escape from my grasp.
Heart."
Under the bright moonlight, her face was blurry, but Feng Ling would never forget this voice, Qi Xinai.
"Oh, Qi-shou-fu." Fengling gritted her teeth and spat out each word.
"Are you Chen Ling?" Qi Xinai took a few steps closer and looked at the person in front of her. He didn't look outstanding, but the way he looked at her made her feel disgusting and condescending, as if she had gone back to the days when she looked down at people's faces.
"The first place in the arena is really hard to catch. How did you discover me?" she asked.
Fengling glanced at Zhang Baoxuan who was being escorted: "Is it difficult to guess? The north gate was suddenly closed today, and it was when your carriage arrived. The news was so timely, it is difficult not to make people suspicious. At that time, I had not
I guessed the reason. Later, when we came out of the inn, there were obviously three people, but when we arrived, there were only two. Where did the other person go? For no reason, the city gate was closed. Where did she go? When I found out that I
After one of my friends disappeared, I realized that you were afraid of an accident and took him away. You also spread the fluorescent powder on purpose to lure us here. However, I never expected that it was Qi Shou who
I'm here in person. You're going to such great lengths, maybe it's not just to catch a few of our minions, right?"
Fengling looked deeply into Qi Xinai's face, "I just want to know when did you start to keep an eye on us? Yandang Mountain, or on the way north."
