Li Xiuning followed Li Shimin's instructions and returned to the city to take charge after leaving the north gate.
In fact, even without Li Shimin's reminder, Li Xiuning's many years of espionage career could tell that there was an impending crisis in Luoyang.
No, not long after Li Xiuning returned, bad spies under his command came to report and found out the secret base of Jin Yiwei.
After confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, Li Xiuning decisively led her experts to encircle and suppress the enemy. However, she unexpectedly arrived a step too late. When she arrived, the base was already empty, and all the confidential information was burned.
"Damn it, it's too late again."
Li Xiuning waved her palm angrily, leaving a palm print on the pillar in front of her, but then her eyes shifted to the ashes of the brazier.
Li Xiuning frowned slightly and reached into the extinguished brazier, but felt that there was still warmth on the ashes, and immediately said in a deep voice: "We haven't run far yet."
As soon as Li Xiuning finished speaking, she saw a black shadow flash past the skylight on the roof.
"who?"
Li Xiuning calmed down and ran out immediately. Sure enough, she saw a dark shadow on the roof, and the figure felt a bit familiar to her, so she immediately said in a deep voice: "Chase."
The man in black's Qinggong was really powerful. Li Xiuning and his men chased him for four or five streets before finally blocking him in a dead end.
Li Xiuning walked forward slowly and sneered: "Run, why don't you run away, sister Qin Nongyu."
The man in black turned around and took off his scarf, revealing a beautiful face that I felt pity for. It was indeed Qin Nongyu.
"Sister Xiuning is really amazing, my younger sister is ashamed of herself!"
Nongyu said with a smile, but there was no sense of danger of being surrounded, and she had also been looking forward to this scene for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Xiuning frowned slightly and said calmly: "Sister Nongyu, you are a smart person. Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless for you to resist in a corner. Why don't you explain everything!"
"What are you telling me?"
Nongyu pretended to be innocent and said: "Sister, if you don't ask, I really don't know where to start from."
"Just tell me, where are your men hiding? What is the real purpose of your plan?"
"Sister, don't be so fierce. You scared my sister."
Nongyu looked frightened, but then smiled and said: "Let me correct two mistakes in my sister's words. First, most of them are my sister's bosses this time, but there are no subordinates.
Second, this is not my sister’s plan, and my sister is not capable of coming up with such a thorough plan. I just put forward a beginning, and there are other people who made the specific plans.”
"Who?" Li Xiuning asked.
"You guess."
Nong Yu's joking tone made Li Xiuning's forehead appear with veins.
"It seems that you are not smart, sister." Li Xiuning said coldly.
For a moment, the atmosphere became serious, and Qin Nongyu calmly said: "It seems that you, sister, are not as smart as I thought, sister."
"What do you mean?"
Li Xiuning frowned when he heard this. After an idea appeared in his mind, he immediately opened his eyes and said angrily: "Did you lure the tiger away from the mountain on purpose?"
Li Xiuning's chest rose and fell sharply, revealing her inner unrest at this time.
"Sister is really smart, she reacted so quickly."
A hint of cunning flashed in Nongyu's eyes, and she said with a smile: "As for why I brought you here, sister Xiuning, why don't you take a guess?"
"I don't have time to play guessing games with you."
Li Xiuning's eyes flashed coldly, and she said coldly: "Even if you don't say anything, I still have plenty of ways to make you speak. Someone..."
With that said, Li Xiuning called to his men and prepared to capture Nongyu directly.
Seeing this, Nong Yu quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister Xiuning, don't be violent, I'll just tell you."
As soon as Nongyu finished speaking, he saw another fire burning in the city, which could even be seen in the remote place where Li Xiuning was.
"That direction is...the grain depot?"
Li Xiuning's eyes were full of disbelief. She naturally knew that once the grain depot caught fire, it would mean that Luoyang would not be able to defend it anymore.
Li Xiuning stared at Nong Yu fiercely and said coldly: "Is this your doing?"
Seeing that Li Xiuning had already confirmed it, Nongyu did not deny it, but answered the question: "Sister Xiuning, what do you think Li Shimin would do if he saw it?
Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You, you guys..."
If Li Shimin knew about it, he would definitely go to the grain depot to take charge. After all, the grain depot was too important to Liang Jun, and on the way there he would have given Jin Yiwei a chance to take action.
Now Li Xiuning finally understood that the other party had made such a big circle and even planned to transfer him away, and the real target turned out to be his second brother.
"Kill her."
Li Xiuning screamed in anger, but Nong Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. After taking a step back, he didn't know which mechanism was touched, and the stone wall behind him actually started to rotate.
As Nong Yu rushed in, she shouted: "Sister Xiuning, if I were you, you would never waste time on me. If you rush over now, you might be able to collect Li Shimin's body."
After everyone rushed up, the stone wall had already closed. Seeing this, Li Xiuning's face became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, the four of you go hunt down Qin Nongyu, and the rest of you will follow me."
"promise."
Not knowing whether his second brother was alive or dead, Li Xiuning could no longer care about Nongyu. He left Nie Feng and the other four to deal with Qin Nongyu, and then went to rescue him with most of his elite troops.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like over there, or whether Li Shimin was still alive, Li Xiuning believed that his second brother would never die so easily.
Bu Jingyun and the other four quickly found the mechanism, opened the stone wall and pursued all the way, finally catching up with Qin Nongyu.
Bu Jingyun jumped up and blocked Qin Nongyu's path after landing. Hengjian said coldly: "I'll capture you without mercy and leave your body intact."
Qin Nongyu did not panic at all, but said confidently: "You should worry about your own safety."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures were seen walking slowly out of the dark corner, and they were still talking as they walked.
"Four bastards who are not at the level of a master, senior brother, you don't have to take action this time, I am enough."
"Xiaozhuang, it's not a good habit to eat alone."
After seeing the person coming, the pupils of Bu Jingyun and the other four people shrank at the same time, and they said in a deep voice with fear on their faces: "Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, it turns out to be you."
Wei Zhuang smiled evilly, slowly pulled out the shark-tooth sword, pointed it at the four of them, and said to Gai Nie: "Then let's take half each, and see who can finish it first."
