Tang Ji and Hua Yuan'er stayed at the Beidu Palace for a day and did not leave until evening. Liu Qicai even thoughtfully prepared a carriage for them.
In the carriage, Hua Yuan'er lowered his head and smelled it. His face suddenly changed due to the smell of sweat, and then he complained: "That Li Chengyang looks chubby. I don't know where he got so much physical strength. It's not as good as spending a whole day with him on errands."
Practicing is easy!”
"Don't talk nonsense." Tang Ji replied immediately, glancing at the curtains.
Hua Yuan'er came over instantly. The driver who was driving was from the Beidu Palace. He nodded, blinked and thought for a while, then touched his shoulder and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Hey, then
Princess Xian'an is obviously interested in you, I really don't think about it, if you become the consort, it will be much easier for us!"
"Don't consider it!" Tang Ji replied firmly.
Are you kidding me? The silly girl he really wants to marry is still waiting for him in Kyoto when he comes back. How could he consider someone else!
"I'm not asking you to marry her. At worst, we can just leave after we capture Yingzhou!" Hua Yuan'er continued.
Tang Ji touched his chin and pretended to think before replying: "I think you are quite old and unmarried. How about you? Sacrifice yourself. If you can win the princess, after the matter is over, I will give you a bookstore."
How about you?"
When she heard that he was going to give the bookstore to her, Hua Yuan'er's eyes lit up, but after thinking about it for a moment, she shook her head: "I'll forget it. Although the princess looks pretty good, her brain is not that good."
Just like that, the two of them stopped talking about this topic.
Not long after, the carriage stopped safely. Tang Ji and Hua Yuan'er said a brief goodbye to the coachman, then turned and walked back to the inn.
Tang Ji asked the waiter in the inn to get him a basin of water. After wiping his body in the room, he heard the noise from next door and quickly put on his clothes. As soon as he opened the door, he found that Su Qing was already outside.
"You can take action at Xu time." Su Qing said calmly.
Tang Ji nodded in response: "Okay!"
...
The night was dark and windy, and the night sky was covered with thick clouds, with not a shred of light visible.
On the streets of Beicheng, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding torches advanced slowly, their eyes scanning the surrounding alleys for fear of missing some suspicious person. Suddenly, there was a sound from the street corner ahead, and immediately
attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone held sabers in their hands and approached with vigilant eyes. Just as they were about to catch each other out, the man lying on the old cart spoke first.
"Don't look at it, I'm one of my own!"
After saying that, the man took out another token from his arms and showed it.
The patrol leader looked at it twice, and after confirming that it was correct, he glanced at the inn opposite and said with a smile: "Why don't you wait and see people?"
"Yes, General Jia's order." The plainclothes soldier replied, rubbed his nose, and wrapped his clothes tightly: "It's been two days, and General Jia didn't say anything about changing. What's so good about these bandits?
In this Yingzhou city, who else dares to make a mistake..."
The team had no time to listen to his complaints. After confirming that there was no problem, they waved their hands to signal the soldiers to move on.
Little did they know, as soon as they left, a figure flew out of the backyard of the inn. After observing around on the roof for a while, it fell back down again. Soon, it led another person over the wall, passed through the side alley, and headed towards the north.
Running down the street.
The plainclothes soldier vaguely heard some movement, turned his head but found nothing, but was shivering by a gust of cold wind: "I really can't stand it. If I hadn't bought a big cotton coat, I would have frozen to death."
Outside..."
On the other side, being dragged by Su Qing to run and fly across alleys, rooftops, and walls, Tang Ji couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Thanks to Su Qing's lightness kung fu, if it had been anyone else, he would have been unable to move even a single step in the middle of the night.
About a quarter of an hour later, Su Qing brought Tang Ji into a small courtyard in Beicheng.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a young man came up to him: "Commander Su."
Su Qing nodded, raised her finger and pointed at Tang Ji: "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Tang."
The young man was a little surprised. He had heard from Su Qing before that Tang Ji had come with him, but he didn't expect it to be true. Although this man was highly regarded by His Majesty, he didn't know martial arts. He would have to have a lot of courage to sneak into the camp.
Zhou, couldn't help but feel admiration, raised his hands and said: "Xingchen Secret Agent Yang Nian pays homage to Mr. Tang!"
"No need to be polite!" Tang Ji replied casually.
"Then let's stop chatting and invite the two adults to the room." Yang Nian turned sideways and made a "please" gesture.
Soon, the three of them entered the house. Yang Nian took out a yellowed paper map and spread it on the table: "Since the secret spies in the city were cleared, my subordinates knew that the imperial court would send people over. They wanted to sneak into the Beidu Palace, but what happened?
I ended up in prison by accident, but fortunately I can help two adults this time."
After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the map and explained: "This is the county prison. The front is the ordinary prison, and the back is the death row. Before, General Shen was imprisoned in the dungeon. I had contact with him as a spy.
He, but he doesn't believe me. It would be better if the two adults could arrive earlier. Now the general is imprisoned in death row. It is heavily guarded there and it is very difficult to sneak in. "
Tang Ji rolled his eyes, did this guy call them here just to complain?
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take credit for you when things happen in Yingzhou." Su Qing could understand the difficulty of the other party. After a few words of comfort, he continued: "Then how do you get in now?"
Yang Nian raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to explain: "Although the death row is guarded by the Yingzhou Army, at three o'clock every day, officials go in to clean the barrels. I have made arrangements, but Mr. Su, you only have a quarter of an hour."
The corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched slightly, "Good guy, you treat the official servants as handymen. How strict is the security in Yingzhou City?"
Not even on death row!
But fortunately, he finally found a way to get in. He sighed: "It's okay, as long as we can get in."
"We?" Yang Nian looked suspicious, and then said in surprise: "Master Tang, do you want to go in too?"
"Yes!" Tang Ji replied helplessly.
"Absolutely not, Mr. Tang, you don't know martial arts. If there is an accident, there is no guarantee that you will escape unscathed!" Yang Nian persuaded anxiously.
Tang Ji shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to go, but the damn guy who was hiding in the dark and teasing him wouldn't allow it!
Su Qing raised her eyes slightly: "It's okay, I will protect him, you can continue talking."
"This..." Although Yang Nian has been away on missions all year round, he still understands the affairs in Kyoto, so he is naturally assured of Su Qing's strength. But if Tang Ji also wants to go with him, it is not necessarily possible. He still wants to persuade him, but
Seeing the firm expressions of the two of them, they took back what they said and then continued: "After you sneak into the county government office, you will change into the clothes I prepared for you in the side courtyard.
Someone is going to pick you up. One more thing you should pay attention to is that when you enter the death row, don't talk if you can, but don't be too nervous. Under normal circumstances, the officers and soldiers won't ask too many questions."
Tang Ji and Su Qing looked at each other and nodded immediately.
Yang Nian glanced at Tang Ji with some concern, then exhaled, cupped his hands and said, "Okay, those two adults should be careful and don't force yourself. It's getting late, so I'll take the first step."
"You should also be careful." Su Qing replied.
"My subordinates know." After Yang Nian answered, he opened the door and walked out.
Soon after, he changed his clothes and walked towards the street.
In the room, the candlelight flickered faintly. Su Qing looked at the map and said calmly: "Brother Tang, are you afraid?"
"You are not talking nonsense. If you go to death row at night, you may lose your life. Who is not afraid!" Tang Ji glanced at him angrily, then shook his head: "But if you don't go, the one hiding in the secret
Even if this guy tells the King of Beidu our identities and whereabouts, we will still die!"
Not only that, he will never allow Ranran to be harmed!
Su Qing smiled lightly, raised her hand and patted his shoulder: "If something happens, I will risk my life to get you out. This is our agreement, but I'm afraid the burden of Yingzhou will be handed over to you in the future.
.”
"A person like you will definitely not survive the next episode in a TV series!" Tang Ji glanced at him.
Su Qing asked in confusion: "What is a TV series?"
"Nothing!" Tang Ji carefully browsed the map again and conducted another analysis with Su Qing.
After a long time, when most of the time passed, the two of them set out to leave the small courtyard.
On the roof not far away, the short man in black yawned: "Finally it's out, Qilin, let's go!"
"Yes." The man in black with the sword in his arms replied, jumped up and followed.
