When Xie Songhua walked out of the alley, the sun had completely set. One side of the sky was blue-grey, leaving only a dim red light in the western sky.
In the narrow alley behind her, a young drug boy was lying on the ground.
She walked out of it expressionlessly, and almost walked to the yard where she worked every day before she met people. She nodded lightly to those who were willing to say hello to her, which was regarded as a face-to-face meeting.
What she gave the drug boy was a common drug popular in the black market, and it was also strictly prohibited by the government. Many human traffickers use this kind of drug. Not only can it make people sleepy, but after they wake up, they will not be able to recover from the effects of the first two or three days of coma.
Things that happened within an hour will be completely forgotten.
This was also given to her by her good master.
Originally, when she went to ask, Zhuo Yuanshi insisted that he did not have those messy medicines, but when she was called to come to Dengzhou Mansion, the old man sent over a box full of bottles.
She was studying these things when she was in the capital and whenever she had free time along the way.
In the past, she only wanted to learn medicine, treat diseases and save people. After coming here, she discovered that these poisons were actually, in a sense, no less important than the medicines used to treat people's illnesses.
But now her headache has turned to the mayor again.
The note that the medicine boy thrust into her, without even thinking about it, must be related to Han Jian, but in the end, the matter ended up involving the mayor Liu Zhong.
Could it be that Liu Zhong is related to Han Jian?
Han Jian was a member of Emperor Yufeng. He was an eunuch and was known to have never taken sides with any of the princes. Could it be that he got involved just to deal with Xiao Yu?
Xie Songhua carefully recalled everything that happened after he traveled through time, especially the several confrontations between the prince and the third prince.
After combing through it, she discovered to her dismay that Han Jian was indeed not suspected of being attached to either of the two princes, because both princes had suffered from him.
For Xiao Yu, I got involved with bandits, Dengzhou Prefecture, and maybe even Shandong Province.
Is this Han Jian crazy?
Xiao Yu just thought that she was frightened by the current situation and did not raise any suspicion.
With his temperament, he couldn't say anything comforting, so the two of them could only get along as they always had.
In the end, it was Xie Songhua who spoke first, "Is the prince... about to take action?"
"how?"
The words "cold" and "cold" were thrown at me, but I couldn't hear the emotion.
Xie Songhua was silent. This matter involved a lot, and logically speaking, it was really not something she should be involved in.
Xiao Yu has a cautious temperament. If he asks too many questions, he may become suspicious.
"What I want to say is that although the prince has his own royal guards in Dapan Town, he is still very weak."
"Don't worry, your brother and the others are almost ready. If you send out a signal here, they will rush through the border immediately. When the time comes, you can find a place to hide here, and they will pick you up soon."
Xie Songhua:……
Does this mean she is worried about her own life and death?
Although she was indeed a little timid and nervous, that was not the point.
"No, I'm worried about the prince."
"Um?"
Xie Songhua almost bit his tongue when he asked him a rhetorical question. His words sounded a bit too warm.
She quickly changed her words and said: "Your Majesty is the God of War of our Daqi. Our Daqi cannot live without His Majesty. Besides, I have been taking care of you many times over the past few years. As a companion, I am naturally worried about Your Majesty's safety."
I was afraid that he would interrupt me again, so I hurriedly said what I wanted to say, "This is the amulet I asked for at the small spiritual temple in front of me two days ago. I heard people here say that the spiritual temple is quite effective."
Yes, Your Majesty, please take it with you!"
When Xiao Yu heard this, he frowned and looked at her, and then at a purse in her hand, "I never believe these nonsense."
After saying that, she walked out without even taking a second look at the purse in her hand.
Sure enough, this Xiao Yu doesn't look like the kind of person who talks too much. How could he believe this?!
But now that the time has come, Xie Songhua has no other choice but to play the non-existent emotional card with his eyes open, and quickly chases after him, "But I believe it! And, Your Majesty, if you have any shortcomings, I can
He became a lonely person."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he staggered when he crossed the threshold and almost fell out.
When he turned around, he saw Xie Songhua looking at him expectantly, "Your Majesty, just think of it as all the friendship we've had along the way!"
The expression on Xiao Yu's face became a little strange, "Do you believe this?"
Xie Songhua lied without blinking an eye, "This is natural, we believe it from top to bottom in Daqi!"
Xiao Yu looked at the sachet she handed over again, pursed his lips, and finally stepped forward to take the sachet.
Xie Songhua saw that the others had disappeared into the yard, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
She has no way to confront Liu Zhong. She can only take one step at a time.
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that the residents of Dapan Town had become nervous in the past few days.
That kind of tension is invisible, but it can be felt tangibly.
And when she returned again, she saw those people sitting in the dark courtyard, but this time, she could clearly see that there were more people than last time.
Just as nervous as Dapan Town are the people outside Dapan Town.
Xie Wenhua hadn't trimmed his beard for several days, and a circle of green stubble appeared on his chin.
All his attention was focused on the few sealed letters in his hand, which were all news sent from Dapan Town.
It was after Xiao Yu entered that he was finally convinced that there were people from Xiao Yu in Dapan Town.
This somewhat reassured him.
But the things Xiao Yu sent now made him completely nervous. According to what was said above, the situation in Dapan Town was more complicated than they imagined.
The Fourth Prince walked in just after this. As soon as Xie Wenhua saw him, he stood up immediately, "Fourth Prince, this..."
The fourth prince glanced at the thing in his hand, "I already know this information, and the Dengzhou Guard has also confirmed this matter. I am afraid that the provincial government will also be involved. If so..."
He didn't say anything else, but Xie Wenhua understood what he meant. If the provincial government also participated, then they might have no chance of winning this time.
He just brought over a thousand Beijing garrison, plus dozens of imperial guards, what could be accomplished?
The Dengzhou Guard may not have been completely penetrated, but under such circumstances, the risk of using the Dengzhou Guard is extremely high.
"I'm afraid time is running out. We have to come up with a solution as soon as possible. If we wait for the other party to take action first, we won't even be able to take advantage."
Just at this moment Baiyue walked in. Like the two of them, he looked a little tired, "Jinyiwei just checked all Zhao Qingshan's places to stay in Dengzhou. The matter may be more complicated than we imagined."
After he finished speaking, he threw a small bundle on the table. When they saw what was inside, the two of them were shocked, "How... is this possible?!"
