"Li Bihuai has been lurking in Yuanmu Town for so many years. However, he was killed yesterday, and the imperial envoy from Northern Qin suddenly arrived early. Although it was ostensibly to save a noble son, it was too coincidental!"
Xiao Lingyue was startled. These people actually knew the excuse Shen Shilang had made?
Aren't they locked up in Li's house? How did they get the news from outside?
The middle-aged man had a sullen face and nodded: "Old Yan and I have the same idea. What a coincidence!"
Mr. Yan said coldly: "It is precisely because the incident happened so coincidental that it made me uneasy. For the sake of safety, I feel that I should give up the transaction and leave Log Town as soon as possible! It is not too late to think of a solution after the limelight has passed."
not good!
These people want to run!
Xiao Lingyue immediately increased her vigilance.
The middle-aged man was confused: "I understand Mr. Yan's thoughts. When I learned that Li Bihuai died suddenly, I felt that things were out of control. It would be best to get out as soon as possible, but... Your Excellency disagrees."
He sighed, took out a small note from his arms and handed it to Mr. Yan.
"Look, this is the message I just sent you this afternoon."
Mr. Yan took it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed: "Sir, this is..."
What was written on the note?
Xiao Lingyue scratched her heart and liver curiously, her eyes moved to the gap, and she tried her best to stare.
However, the paper note is too small.
The tiny characters on it are even smaller and densely packed.
Xiao Lingyue stared until her eyes were sore and she couldn't see clearly.
She curled her lips.
Well, at least she now knows that even if the caravan is blocked in the house, they can still communicate with the outside world.
Or.
Someone outside can pass in messages and instructions through special methods.
Those government officials who were guarding outside were lonely!
Not only was he unable to prevent the transmission of information, but he was also unable to prevent people who knew martial arts. Xiao Lingyue could come and go as he pleased, and so could the few dead men hidden in the caravan.
But then again, who is the "adult" mentioned by the middle-aged man and Mr. Yan?
Above the caravan, there is indeed a higher level behind the scenes.
Is Zhan Beihan going for this person?
After Mr. Yan finished reading the note, he handed it to the oil lamp to burn and watched the flames jump as the note burned.
His voice was gloomy: "Your Excellency, the Northern Qin court has discovered the secret of Hulang Mountain. This delivery is probably the last transaction, and there must be no room for error under any circumstances!"
His Highness is in a difficult situation at court and needs a large amount of iron ore to forge weapons and armor to enhance his strength in case of unexpected events.
The delivery volume this time is 30% more than in previous years, which is enough to meet His Highness's needs.
So what your lord means is to advance the delivery time, change the delivery location, and move the goods away before the Northern Qin imperial envoy reacts, so that the nails we planted before can be used, and there is no need to feel bad."
"..."
These words ran through Xiao Lingyue's mind like an electric shock.
She opened her eyes suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingyue suddenly figured out some issues that she had never been able to figure out.
That’s what happened!
inside the house.
The middle-aged man thought in silence for a long time and nodded: "Everything is based on your orders!"
