"Then your Excellency lured Shan Bin to raise troops, is it just for this temporary chaos?" Wang Heng was puzzled. It was not worthwhile to spend so much trouble just for the temporary chaos in Yanbei. If Shan Bin failed, Qi Yun would definitely
We will increase the number of troops to defend Yanbei. By then, it will be much more difficult to break through.
The Jin envoy's gaze was like a knife, penetrating into Wang Heng's heart: "The more chaotic Yanbei is, the easier it will be for you to get things done, and that's exactly what I want. If you are still not at ease, I can write a handwritten letter in person.
How about submitting it to Your Majesty and directly describing the young master's actions?"
What Wang Heng was doing was the merit of his father and son. What the Jin envoy said was exactly what he wanted, but he was still wary of him. He thought for a moment and then slowly said: "What will Shan Bin do after the incident is completed?"
"I don't need to worry about this, sir. Please prepare paper and ink." The Jin envoy heard that Wang Heng asked Shan Bin and knew that his words had dispelled his wariness, so he replied.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Wang Heng stopped talking and immediately ordered for paper and ink.
In the presence of the king, the Jin envoy asked the two of them to write down the details of everything in Yanbei City and hand them over to Wang Heng. Wang Heng was filled with joy after receiving the secret letter, but he heard that the Jin envoy had spoken again: "Master, you should be relieved now.
It’s better to find out which season is better.”
Hearing the Jin envoy mention He Ji again, Wang Heng felt worried again. After entering Yanbei City, he had been secretly inspecting He Ji for some time, but He Ji just disappeared from the world, and there was no news. He thought to himself: "Is it possible that He Ji has disappeared from the world?"
Did Ji Ji manage to get out of seclusion before he and Elder Xu arrived?"
Wang Heng then denied his suspicion. Even before the martial law, it was not easy to get out of the seclusion. What's more, now that martial law is in force in Yanbei City, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to get out of the seclusion.
Seeing Wang Heng's troubled expression, the Jin envoy already knew the answer and said, "I have a method that may help find out He Ji's whereabouts."
Wang Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "If you have any ideas, sir, you might as well just tell me."
The Jin envoy smiled mysteriously, motioned for Wang Heng to come forward, and whispered several words in his ear. Only then did Wang Heng's brows, which had been furrowed for a long time, unfurl, and he looked sideways and whispered: "I see, Wang Heng understands, so I'll send someone here."
Go do it."
Although his words were a little respectful, Wang Heng's eyes were still wary and he continued to speak: "Sir, since you still want to stay in Yanbei and wait for the Lord's edict, why not stay in Tongguxuan temporarily so that we can take care of each other?
no?"
The Jin envoy knew that Wang Heng was still wary of him, and wanted to use Xu Mo and other masters in Tongguxuan to keep an eye on him. However, the Jin envoy was not worried. As Wang Heng said, he really wanted to stay.
With Danbin's heart in mind while waiting for the edict, rather than looking for another place in the city, it is better to wait here with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, the Jin envoy clasped his fists and said, "Since the prince invites you, I would rather obey my order than I should be respectful."
Seeing that the Jin envoy did not refuse, Wang Heng felt relieved. He immediately called the shopkeeper and others to clean the backyard and arrange the residence. Without further ado, he waited until everything was arranged properly and then whispered to Xu Mo to act according to the plan.
Xu Mo was ordered to go south of Yanbei City...
The snow in early spring fell on the body, and the chill became stronger. Pedestrians on the roadside still wore winter clothes, holding up their winter cotton coats high to cover their heads and faces to prevent the cold from invading their bodies.
Xu Mo received Wang Heng's order and hurried to the side of the city gate until he saw the courier who was still soliciting business.
I don’t know whether the messenger is doing it for a living or something else. There are almost no pedestrians at the south gate of Yanbei City, but the messenger still refuses to leave. His figure standing in the wind and snow is a little thin. Occasionally, there are pedestrians passing by, who kindly want to persuade this person to go early.
They wanted to go home and stop waiting for business in the early spring wind and snow. But when they saw this man's ferocious face, they all retreated.
The messenger looked up at the sky. It was getting late. When he was leading the horse beside him to close the stall, he saw a man walking towards him in the wind and snow. His long beard was blown by the wind. Among the crowd of passers-by,
Very conspicuous.
His eyes lit up, and the messenger stopped turning around and began soliciting business: "Send the message, send the message! Ten coins in the city, one tael in Yanbei!"
Perhaps he was called out loudly by this person, which attracted everyone's attention. Two long-bearded guests came quickly towards the messenger, approached him, and asked: "My mother is sick at home, and I need to send a letter outside the city. How much money do I have?"
?』
The messenger looked at the guest and said, "If there is a golden sword, I won't take a penny from it."
"The golden sword is in the heart, and the silver money will pay for it." The long-bearded guest pointed to his heart with three fingers, made a gesture, and responded in a low voice.
Seeing the gesture, the messenger wanted to bend down and salute, but he was grabbed by two long-bearded guests and whispered: "There is an order at the door. You rush to the 30 miles outside the city, patrol the military camp, and try to sneak into it."
, pass a message to the leading general."
If ordinary people had heard that they were going to infiltrate the patrol, they would have been paralyzed with fear. However, the messenger was not afraid at all and just asked in a low voice: "What message does Elder Xu want to deliver?"
Xu Mo signaled the messenger to come forward and whispered: "Try to tell the leading general, Yanbei Army Commander Shan Bin..."
At the end of the speech, the voice gradually faded and no one could hear it, but from the messenger's wide eyes, one could tell the content of the message, which was shocking.
After hearing the message, the messenger calmed down his shock and immediately said: "I have received orders and will leave the city now."
Xu Mo then took out a letter and a small silver ingot from his arms, stuffed it into the hand of the courier, bowed and clasped his fists in a pretentious manner and said: "I'm sorry to bother you, brother, my mother is seriously ill, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible."
The messenger nodded slightly, took the letter and money, stuffed it into his arms, got on his horse, and left the city while the city gate was still open.
Seeing the smoke and dust from the horses' hooves, Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to rush back to Tonggu Xuan to report to the young master. But when the general turned around, he bumped into someone.
The man staggered a few steps after being hit by Xu Mo. The steamed buns he had just bought in his arms fell to the ground, covered with snow and mud. He couldn't help but become furious, and a pair of eagle eyes were about to spit out fire at the sight.
If there wasn't something important going on and he was being stared at so furiously, according to Xu Mo's temperament, even if there were too many people and it was inconvenient to take action, he would have tracked and sneaked into this person's house under the cover of night and massacred all of them. But the young master has big things to do now.
Xu Mo didn't want to attract attention, so he immediately took out some scattered silver from his arms, threw it into the snow, coldly said "I'm sorry" and left.
The eagle-eyed man looked at the scattered silver coins thrown on the ground in the snow, his eyes became more angry, his chest heaved violently, and his fists were clenched. He could see that there were still pedestrians in the city, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and stretched out his hand.
I want to pick up all the scattered silver coins on the ground.
A passerby saw him picking up coins on the ground with one arm, and thought he was a disabled person. He felt sympathy and wanted to come forward to help, but was turned away by the ferocious look in his eagle eyes.
Seeing that no one was approaching to help him, the eagle-eyed man picked up the scattered pieces of silver that he had never put in his eyes one by one with one hand, stuffed them into his arms, and then stopped caring about the dirty steamed buns on the ground and kept silent.
Leave.
Walking to a remote alley, the eagle-eyed one-armed man looked back from time to time. Seeing that no one was paying attention around him, he got into the alley and walked to a remote courtyard at the end of the alley. He looked left and right for a moment. After seeing no one else, the one-armed man opened the door.
Admission.
"How? Have you found a way to get out?" The one-armed man had just been admitted to the hospital. The people in the room seemed to have already noticed it, and the voice floated out from the room.
Hearing this, the one-armed man's eyes were full of wariness, but when he pushed the door open, the wariness in his eyes had already dissipated, and he spoke to the man sitting at the table in the room, with a black gauze covering half of his face: "Think of it.
It's not difficult to get through the south gate, but the interrogation is still tight when leaving the customs. I think it's impossible for us to take these two people out of the customs."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the masked man to speak, his eyes glanced at the young man and woman who could not move in the room, and he spoke again: "I really don't know. Since we have entered Yanbei City and these two people are already a burden, why don't we kill them?
, to avoid future troubles.”
The masked man didn't seem to be in a hurry and spoke slowly: "Where is the dry food you bought?"
"They were knocked away." The one-armed man said angrily when he saw that the masked man was still thinking about food.
A smile appeared on the lips of the masked man: "I didn't expect that the dignified Second Lord of Hejiabao would be in such a difficult situation."
"It's not funny, but don't forget, you promised to protect me when I return to the north, and I also agreed to your request to join my Jin Dynasty. Now we should think about how to get out of the city first." The one-armed man said coldly
Open your mouth coldly.
The masked man suppressed his smile and looked at the panic-stricken He Ji in front of him. He did not answer directly, but moved his eyes slightly back. Feeling the gaze of the young man and woman, he stretched out his hand, lightly twisted his fingers on his shoulders, and flexed his fingers.
Bounced behind you.
"Shoo...sssssssssssssssssssss"
!" Two rays of true energy were quickly shot from the fingertips to the two people behind him.
Qi Tao, who was listening attentively to the conversation between the two people in the room, thought to himself, if he was taken out of prison by these two people, and when he arrived in the Northern Jin Dynasty, his identity as the prince would be revealed again...
When I heard that the two of them could not leave Yanbei, I calmed down a little and secretly felt lucky that Yanbei's army had strict discipline. I never thought that the moment I heard the sound of Zhenqi breaking through the air, my chest froze, and before I could react, my vision turned black.
Passed out.
Feeling that the two people behind him had been knocked unconscious by the true energy of his fingertips, the masked man spoke leisurely: "If you are impatient, you will only lose your judgment. Brother He, please be patient. Let me first describe in detail what you have found out.
"Fan."
Perhaps influenced by the masked man's calmness, He Ji finally calmed down, went to the table and sat down: "For some reason, the Yanbei general has deployed troops to strictly guard the north gate. Although the south gate has not yet been sealed,
, but we are also conducting a strict investigation. With this situation, you and I are now unable to go north or return south. We have become turtles in a urn."
"You mean, a sudden increase in troops?" The masked man listened attentively and seemed to have found the key.
He Ji was anxious. Although Yanbei City was big, once the city was closed, it would be impossible to get out of the city. At the moment, he could only place his hope on the masked man. He immediately said: "Yes, do you have any idea?"
The masked man remained as steady as a rock. His single exposed eye turned for a moment, as if he noticed something, and whispered a word to He Ji.
"have."
He Ji stood up excitedly and asked, "Tell me quickly."
"Wait." The masked man replied.
If he hadn't followed the masked man's method and walked all the way to Yanbei City, He Ji would have almost flipped the table over. He suppressed his anger and said sarcastically: "Wait? How long will it take until the people behind this young master find us?"
The masked man sneered: "When Yanbei City is in chaos, then you and I can escape."
He Jimoran had no other choice but to believe in the masked man.
The masked man stroked his growling stomach and continued: "Since you have chosen to trust me, you don't have to worry. The most important thing right now is not to try to get out of the city, but to fill your stomach first and then think about it in the long term."
The corners of his eyes twitched. He Jizhi knew that the masked man's appearance would attract attention if he left the courtyard, so he had no choice but to stand up and go to the city to buy more food.
Hearing the sound of He Ji's footsteps gradually disappearing, the masked man who had previously been confident and relaxed suddenly became solemn and murmured to himself: "Shan Bin really deserves to die."
