Wang Xun was sitting in the hall and drinking another cup of tea when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
He stood up and walked out of the lobby, and saw Yang Guo walking towards him.
"Then Li Xia..."
"He has escaped over the wall. Mu Qiao should quickly lead people to chase him..."
Wang Xun glanced at Yang Guo suspiciously and rushed to the courtyard wall.
Looking around, I saw that the flowers and trees had been trampled all over, and there were rope chains and iron anchors hanging on the wall.
Wang Xun was too lazy to take a closer look, so he turned outside the courtyard and walked in the direction of the soldiers' shouts.
Alleys twist and turn.
After walking in the alley for a while, I saw Shen Kai coming back side by side with Yang Fu, holding his knife.
"what happened?"
"Li Xia jumped over the wall and ran away." Yang Fu said, "I chased him all the way to the nearby area and lost track of him."
Wang Xun nodded and moved towards Shen Kai.
The two walked side by side, avoiding Yang Fu. Wang Xun asked again: "Have you seen Li Xia?"
"No." Shen Kai said, "I suspect that Yang Fu lied to me and diverted our manpower."
Wang Xun didn't mention what he thought, but he replied: "No, Mr. Yang will not collaborate with the people of Song Dynasty to make detailed plans."
"But……"
In the middle of Shen Kai's words, Wang Xun glanced at him and said coldly: "What official position do you have? Do you dare to question a high-ranking senator?"
"I... I don't dare."
Wang Xing said: "Don't worry, since I promised Wu Lang to capture Li Xia for him, I will do my best."
"Yes, Wu Lang has told me that everything will be arranged by Wang Langjun."
Before the two of them walked back to Yang Mansion, they saw several soldiers searching a carriage not far away.
"What's going on?" Shen Kai was very unhappy and shouted: "Didn't I ask you to wait and guard the back door? Why are you here?!"
"Because three carriages came to Mr. Yang's house in succession, our manpower..."
"That's enough! Did you find anything?"
"No……"
Shen Kai vaguely felt something. He turned to look at Wang Xun and asked, "Wang Langjun, please tell me what to do?"
Wang Xun squinted his eyes and thought about it, but he said carelessly: "What's the use of asking me? I learned the art of strategizing and maneuvering, and unlike Wu Lang who was a general and knew how to maneuver. I can still chase Li Xia. Run?"
"this……"
Wang Xingdao: "I'm not like Wu Lang. I work very hard. My brothers have been busy all night, so let them go and rest. I will use my own method to get Li Xia's head."
Shen Kai couldn't figure out the person in front of him for a moment, so he responded: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Wang Xun opened her mouth and yawned, spread her hands and stretched herself in the morning light.
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? Since Zhang Wulang fell ill, it was me who took action. And once I take action, Li Xia will never be able to escape."
Shen Kai glanced over and saw Wang Xun's careless look, and felt very suspicious of his words...
~~
After daybreak, there was a knocking on the door of a house in Kaifeng City.
"it's me."
"It's Brother Li, it's Brother Li, let Brother Li come in quickly..."
There was a "click" sound of pulling the bolt, and Li Xia walked in carrying a bundle.
The bundle in his hand was heavy, but he still held it in one hand and stood still in the morning light.
"Information, got it."
Li Xia only uttered these five words.
He didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. It was like once in a competition, he let the flag of his motherland fly on the highest podium.
What he felt was that two generations of people worked hard for the same country and won glory.
At the same time, Yang Guo's last words made him feel heavy. It was like he was about to step onto the competition field, burdened with the eyes and expectations of countless people.
Li Xia looked at Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo in front of him, thinking that they could rush up and hug him, like his former teammates and coaches...
But Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo didn't dare to step forward to hug Li Xia. They just looked at him with reverence and admiration in their eyes.
Liu Jinsuo wiped his blood-covered clothes with his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Xia smiled and said, "I can tell you that it is very important and worth the hardships we have to endure along the way."
Liu Jinsuo's eyes suddenly turned red and he cried loudly.
"Brother...wuwu...brother, have you seen it? We got it..."
Lin Zi wiped his eyes and did not ask Liu Jinsuo to speak lower this time. He just turned his back and his shoulders kept shaking.
Han Qiaoer listened to the crying in her ears and looked at Li Xia standing there with her hands spread out. Finally she couldn't help but rushed forward, hugged Li Xia's waist, and started crying.
"Woo...Brother Li is back...I'm so scared that something will happen to you..."
Han Chengxu was a little angry and scolded: "Qiaoer, know some rules, little girl..."
"It's okay, there are not many rules?" Li Xia smiled and patted Han Qiaoer's shoulder.
In the courtyard, the Gao family brothers and sisters stood there with somewhat pleased eyes, not as integrated as others.
Until Li Xia looked at them and said: "There is also a lot of information about the southwest, Yunnan's military strength, wealth, and officials... We all know that Duan Xingzhi just went to Hara and Lin to meet Brother Meng not long ago."
Gao Changshou seemed to be startled, and murmured softly: "I failed to rescue my cousin this time when I went north, but... it was useful? Didn't I bring people here to die in vain?"
Li Xia smiled and said, "It's more useful than you rescuing your cousin."
He has always been a little cold and distant, but today it was rare that he showed a few smiles in a row. His whole body was bathed in the morning sun, and everyone looked at him in a daze.
Gao Mingyue suddenly wiped his eyes and turned back to the house.
Gao Changshou was not like Liu Jinsuo and Lin Zi. When Han Qiaoer hugged Li Xia, he stepped forward generously and hugged Li Xia hard.
"well……"
Li Xia patted Gao Changshou on the back.
Then, he turned to look at Han Qiaoer and said: "Qiaoer, I have a very important thing for you next. This may be the most important task of this trip..."
When Han Qiaoer heard this, her eyes lit up little by little.
But Li Xia asked again: "Can I completely trust you?"
Without any hesitation, Han Qiaoer responded crisply: "Qiaoer will definitely not let down Brother Li's trust!"
"good."
Li Xia did not hand the baggage to anyone else, but handed it to Han Qiaoer.
The little girl couldn't lift it, but she stubbornly refused to let anyone help her and moved it into the house with great effort.
Everyone saw her hard work, but they just laughed, and finally burst into laughter...
For them, there is only one most important thing to do next.
Find a way to escape from Kaifeng and go back to the south...
"Lin Zi, go to the villa that Han Chenghuan borrowed from us and put Lei Sanxi's head there... Let them go out of the city and search for us slowly..."
~~
"The information provided by the south is very detailed. Han Chengxu in Li Xia's team is a survivor of the Jin Kingdom. He has a brother named Han Chenghuan, who is now serving as a minister in the Kaifeng Economic and Strategic Mansion... From what I can see, if Li Xia wants to escape from Kaifeng
, I must look for Han Chenghuan."
"We have been keeping an eye on Han Chenghuan for a long time, but Li Xia has never gone to find him."
Wang Xun thought for a while and said: "Li Xia entered Kaifeng earlier than us. Is it possible that he contacted Han Chenghuan as soon as he entered the city, and Han Chenghuan prepared a hiding place. Then he took advantage of the fire last night to hide.
stand up."
"It's possible." Zhang Hongdao responded softly, looking even weaker than last night.
"Okay." Wang Xun stood up and said, "I know how to search, leave it to me."
"Muchiao..."
"Um?"
"Lao Gui... who killed him?" Zhang Hongdao asked in a low voice, "Since I am planning something with you... I have to be careful..."
"Then what are you doing cautiously?" Wang Xin said: "You are too cautious and that's why you are in such a desperate situation. It doesn't matter who killed Lao Gui, as long as he didn't trouble us. Maybe he was returning south alone and was bitten by a wolf on the way.
Already."
This explanation obviously did not convince Zhang Hongdao.
However, Wang Xun had turned around and was about to walk out.
Zhang Hongdao grabbed his lapel again and asked, "Let my people rest. Who are you looking for to hunt down Li Xia?"
"You don't have to worry about..."
Wang Xun carelessly patted Zhang Hongdao's hand and said: "We are very powerful. No matter what trouble you have, we will settle it for you."
"Thank you Muxiao..."
Watching Wang Xun's back go away, Zhang Hongdao's eyes filled with thought.
The reason why Yao Shu is believed to be the person behind Wang Xun is because it was Yao Shu who arranged for Lao Gui to enter Zhengmeng Academy.
But is the owner of Zhishi Garden really Yao Shu?
It is true that the Yao family was a famous family. Yao Shu cultivated fields for the people and built temples for saints. He was never stingy, but he was always simple. How could he use something like high-grade ambergris?
Thinking of this, Zhang Hongdao murmured in his heart.
"It's very powerful? I'm afraid we're just waiting to see what's going on, and everyone has their own agendas... Wang Maqiao, this is your way to death... Let's talk about it after we've used it..."
