Leaving the city, the gloomy weather could not suppress the sound of iron hooves in the streets.
The once bustling commercial district in the center of the city is now empty. Groups of neatly dressed soldiers pass by from time to time on the once crowded streets. The shops that used to have their doors always open and wanted to put their goods on the street are now closed one by one.
, not even a trace of light wants to shine through the store.
Like a dead city.
Wanhua Building, located in the center of the commercial street, is no exception. The doors and windows are closed, and even when night falls, there is no light coming from the pavilion next to the street, and there is a dead silence.
Only the houses in the backyard surrounded by pavilions had a faint light, as if lighting more candles would make them feel more uneasy.
The room in the middle of the backyard was obviously larger, but it was completely dark, with no light at all. However, there were two people standing and sitting in the darkness.
"No message returned?" The person sitting spoke, and heard the clear and sweet voice, like the cry of an oriole, very moving.
The person standing nodded and spoke in a nice female voice, "It should be the Li County Anbu who took action. The situation looks very serious this time. Something terrible must have happened. I'm afraid most of the Anbu have returned to Li County."
Cheng, Jin'er, I suspect that Wanhua Tower is no longer safe, so we will evacuate the city tonight and wait for a suitable opportunity to return to Guangjun."
The sitting woman named Jin'er shook her head slightly, stood up, walked to the door frame, put her ear to the door and listened, then sat back to her original position and lowered her voice and said, "The old man will come tonight, everything.
Let’s talk about it after he comes back.”
The person standing seemed surprised, "The old man is coming tonight?!" She looked in the direction outside the room with some worry, walked to the seat next to Jin'er and sat down, stretched out her hand to hold her hand and said,
"The security around Li City is unimaginable now. It seems that all the people from Li City's garrison are pouring into the city. Why do you still let the old man come to Wanhua Building with such a curfew?! If he is exposed, we will
It’s over!”
She held Jin'er's hands with slight force, "Maybe now he has been caught and tortured, so..." She looked at the darkness around her, shrinking her neck in fear, "Maybe now
The ANBU people are already in the Ten Thousand Flowers Building..."
"Don't scare yourself, Zhu'er, the ANBU is probably very busy now, and it's impossible to keep an eye on the city as densely as usual..." Jin'er's voice was full of girlishness, and it was just as gentle now.
With such an irresistible charm, she stretched out her other hand to gently hug Zhu'er's waist and comforted her, "I didn't tell you before, but the young master sent news a few days ago that Luo Tianen might be dying.
, I knew at that time that the news must be correct, just looking at the tense atmosphere in Li City in the past few days, I knew that until today, the garrison was stationed in Li City, and there was such a big noise at the courtier's residence in Li County. I wanted to come to Luo City.
Tian En is already dead at this moment!"
"Luo Tianen is dead?!" The woman named Zhu'er was shocked again, "So the news you want to spread again and again today is... the news of Luo Tianen's death?!"
Jin'er nodded, "The court officials' residence is surrounded by a large army, and the chess pieces we secretly set up cannot spread the news. I can only analyze the situation based on the surface, and combine it with the ANBU's recent attacks on various people in the city."
The conclusion of the crazy sniping by the Fang forces' secret spy network is probably unmistakable," she tilted her head and put her face on Zhu'er's head and murmured, "This kind of news is too important and must be conveyed to the Young Master as soon as possible.
,if not......"
Zhu'er, who was originally a little scared when she was held in Jin'er's arms, broke away from her arms and stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving the city now. The old road won't work. I can try some other unexamined roads."
Lu, I am different from them. If it were me, I would probably break through the blockade of the Anbu. The city is so big, and spies from all forces have to spread the news now. No matter how powerful the Anbu is, it is impossible for him to keep secrets.
Breathable!”
"We'll wait until the old man comes. It would be best if he has other ways to deliver the news." Jin'er stood up and patted Zhu'er's head and said softly, "Even if it is the worst result, none of us will
There is no way to pass on the news. There are other ways. The old man's superiors and I usually communicate with the young master on a five-day cycle. If there is no news for two consecutive five days, then it is either the Anbu of Li County.
Either they cut off the two lines of communication between me and the old man's superiors in one fell swoop, or they cut off more than a dozen lines of communication between me and the old man's subordinates. The possibility of both of these points is very low, so the greatest possibility is
Yes, the situation is very serious, and the old man's superiors and I chose to hide together. With the young master's wisdom, combined with the previous news that Luo Tianen was about to die, we can definitely guess the outcome."
"Wouldn't that mean...?" Before Zhu'er could finish her words, Jin'er raised a finger to cover her lips.
Jin'er took one step forward and silently came to the wall facing the street behind the room. After listening for a moment, she quickly turned around and entered the closet on the side and closed the door. In the darkness, she
He knelt down on the floor of the closet, put his ear to the ground, and then very carefully stretched out his hand to buckle and pull the corner of the closet, and slowly pulled out a long piece of brick, revealing a long and narrow black hole.
!
She put her ear to the black hole again and listened, then she remained motionless and knelt on the ground and waited quietly. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from outside, and then the shouts of the soldiers around her.
Shouting and running!
Jin'er was startled and reached out to push the long brick back, but finally hesitated for a moment and waited for a moment!
Then, a dull crashing sound came from a place that seemed to be only a wall away, as if someone had thrown a rag bag filled with sand outside the wall beside Jin'er, which shocked her heart to beat wildly!!
"Wait a minute, general, wait a minute...!!" A hoarse voice shouted in great pain, "I am from the prefect's palace... I am from the prefect's palace.
people!!”
Jin'er's heart, which was already in suspense, suddenly rose to her throat. She was very familiar with this voice!!
When she extremely carefully picked up the long brick and tried to restore it, a small ball of paper rolled in from the hole. She ignored the note and quickly and accurately
He stuffed the masonry back into place and locked it again, then he remained motionless and listened to the sounds outside across the wall.
There were wailings, curses, and then the sound of weapons, or flesh and blood flying...
After the hustle and bustle outside completely faded away and the world returned to calm for a while, Jin'er tiptoed out of the closet, raised her hand to stop Zhu'er from approaching, and walked alone into a dark and closed dressing room in the corner of the house.
Light a candle and look closer at the bloody note.
