Zuo Xianying took Li Qi into a grocery store, but there was no one in the house.
Zuo Xianying closed the door and went to the inner hall to check again. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the store, she stayed close to Li Qi.
Li Qi still didn't react to the sudden attack, so he couldn't help but ask: "Who are these people who ambush us?"
Zuo Xianying said: "Nine out of ten people are from Shuilou."
"Shuilou?" Li Qi pursed his lips and asked, "Did Lanyuan instigate them to do it?"
Zuo Xianying said: "It's not clear yet, but anything is possible in this Youcheng. Judging from the current situation, it seems that they have already made preparations."
"Have we been prepared for a long time?" Li Qi was stunned, "Doesn't it mean that someone knows that we will come to Youcheng?"
Zuo Xianying nodded: "It should be so at present. After all, if you want to check Lanyuan, you must come to Youcheng... This is a place that cannot be bypassed."
Li Qiruo started to think: Who knew he was in Chalan Garden?
Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed?
Or has the news leaked?
Li Qi couldn't understand. After a while, there seemed to be no movement outside. Zuo Xianying opened a crack in the door. Before he could look any further, Yan Yuejun pushed open the door and rushed in.
"The idea is tricky! Let's go through the back door!" Yan Yuejun said.
As he said this, he glanced at Li Qi and said, "Master Li, I can only aggrieve you a little."
Li Qi didn't say much. After all, there was no need to talk about grievances at this time. If he could escape, everything would be fine.
If I had known that this ghost place was so dangerous, I would have called the monk and Zhang Chuang over.
With the remaining bad guys behind them, Li Qi and the others went out from the back door of the grocery store and came to a ditch full of stench.
I followed the ditch, heading east, and walked for almost half an hour without seeing any exit.
The three of them were already covered in all kinds of dirt, and they were used to the pungent stench.
At this time, the three people were like three mice, running wildly in the sewer.
Soon, a ray of light lit up not far away, and Yan Yuejun, the leader, said: "We can go out soon, Mr. Li, just hold on."
It was okay for Li Qi to arrive at this time. He had been adjusting his breathing using the Qing Gong mental method Bai Mengxuan taught him along the way, and it was not very difficult.
It has to be said that this set of light kung fu is so exquisite, Li Qi thought to himself: If this set of kung fu existed in his time, why wouldn't he be able to win an Olympic gold medal?
After coming out of the sewer, who would have thought that we were already in the suburbs.
Looking around, he could see the towering city walls of Kyoto. Li Qi suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, reminding him of his time in Jincheng.
That time, he also followed the culvert out of the city. At that time, Yan Yuejun led others to stop him, and he finally escaped.
Glancing at Yan Yuejun and Zuo Xianying, Li Qi said: "Let's go into the city quickly, report to the officials, and rescue the others."
Yan Yuejun glanced at him with some helplessness in his eyes, and said after a moment: "It's useless. The terrain of Youcheng is complicated, there are many exits, and the people below are extremely vicious. Even if officers and soldiers are dispatched, they may not be able to kill them.
Bring it out."
"Is this the end of it? Don't care about other people?"
Li Qi didn't care much about bad people. After all, everyone wasn't familiar with them. What he cared about most was the outstanding people.
Although he was in a hurry on the way out, Li Qi also figured out the cause and effect.
That Shuilou is nothing more than an institution that specializes in "training" for Lanyuan. Lanyuan hands over the women they get, and through their training, makes those women obedient, and then sends them back to Lanyuan.
Li Qi had already thought about this clearly when he arrived at the third floor of the Shuilou cabin.
And those women are witnesses. As long as their confessions are passed, Lanyuan will no longer have the ability to quibble.
When the time comes to find the account book and all the physical evidence, I can go back and deliver the report to the prince.
As for what happens next, how to overthrow Lan Yuan and how to attack the princess, these things are not what I want to think about.
After all, with Concubine Dou's harem methods, this matter will definitely be brought to the emperor's side, and it may even make the whole court aware of it.
But the problem now is that the enemy has been alerted. If we can't bring out those outstanding people, I'm afraid it won't be so easy next time.
Yan Yuejun sighed and said: "Master Li, I have tried my best on this matter..."
Grandma, I still don’t believe that I can’t even deal with a group of ditch rats!
"You just said it would be useless even if you send out officers and soldiers?" Li Qi asked.
Yan Yuejun nodded and explained: "Yes, there are only about a hundred people in the Kyoto Yamen, but this quiet city extends in all directions..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qi asked again: "What if there are thousands of people?"
Yan Yuejun didn't understand what Li Qi meant, but still replied: "Thousands of people may not necessarily..."
"Where are the tens of thousands of people? Where are the tens of thousands of Imperial Guards?" Li Qi said.
Yan Yuejun was stunned for a moment and said: "If there are tens of thousands of imperial guards, this Youcheng is bound to be captured, but apart from the emperor, if you want to mobilize the army, I'm afraid..."
"I understand." Li Qi said, "In other words, as long as there are enough people, it is not difficult to bring those outstanding people out of Youcheng, right?"
"That's true..."
"Okay, while it's still early, don't waste time. I have to go to the military camp." Li Qi said.
Damn it, it's time for my cheap brother to come in handy.
After arriving at a post station from the suburbs, everyone washed up, bought three horses, and rode straight to the Guards barracks.
In Kyoto, there are nearly 100,000 Imperial Guards!
Moreover, he was stationed on the outskirts of Kyoto all year round, and the person in charge of more than 100,000 people was Tiance General Yu Boyi.
Li Qi met this Yu Boyi once, when he set out to Guangnan to annihilate the Tianji Society, and met him at the door of the Royal Study Room.
As Yu Boyi's right-hand man, Huang Jin has been in charge of more than 30,000 people.
This is why the more than 5,000 imperial guards listened to his words so much when they went to Guangnan.
Arriving at the gate of the military camp, Li Qi explained his identity, and soon someone came in to report.
After a while, it was not Huang Jin who came out, but Tian Hangnan.
"Master Li, why are you here?"
Tian Hangnan, who hadn't seen Li Qi for a long time, seemed particularly happy.
"Captain Tian? Where is General Huang?" Li Qi asked.
Tian Hangnan said: "General Huang is not in the camp, what does Mr. Li want from him?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Yuejun and Zuo Xianying who were standing aside.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and moved closer, and when Wada Hangnan came he whispered softly.
"Where did General Huang go?"
"Master Yu called him over. I don't know what the specific matter was. He was basically at the general's residence during this period." Tian Hangnan replied.
