After selling fruits in the morning, Ling Jue briefly checked the location of the market, so he found it very quickly this time. The so-called places where intelligence is most concentrated are teahouses and restaurants. Ling Jue and Yin Er entered a restaurant that they could probably afford, and ordered three dishes with the waiter who came up to greet them, two meat dishes and one vegetarian dish. The waiter served them boiling water with only a few tea leaves added. The two of them didn't mind it, so they sat on the bench, waiting for the food to be served, while listening to the chat of the strong men sitting next to them.

One of them, a muscular man with a sinewy face, talked about the current situation of Phoenix City. It turns out that in addition to Huo Qing, there is a female city lord in Phoenix City. However, this female city lord is said to be a saint. In fact, according to the tradition in Phoenix City, the saint and the city lord have the same power, but one is in charge. The religious one is in charge of the governance of the country. Ling Jue also heard that the saint was extremely opposed to Huo Qing's expedition. Huo Qing was afraid that she would cause trouble from within, so he locked her up. She had been locked up for a long time, and the saint did not show up for several holy meetings. Apart from these, there was no news about Chang Ning. Ling Jue subconsciously wondered if Chang Ning was hiding somewhere in the city, planning to cause trouble. After the meal, the two of them strolled around the streets. Ling Jue didn't want to buy anything, but in the end he bought a piece of the specialty sulfur soap, and then returned to the inn.

The dark and damp guest room was not easy to live in. This was also the worst night Ling Jue had ever slept here. Ling Jue hated herself for being so troublesome. If she had listened to Chang Ning, she would now be the queen of Qingcheng and Haicheng. But when she thought about the troublesome task of defending the country, Ling Jue still thought of letting Chang Ning do it. Whatever you give up, you will gain, but whether she comes or not, he Chang Ning still owes her. In the second half of the night, Ling Jue was so exhausted that he fell asleep. When Ling Jue woke up the next morning, he found that it was already noon. Yin Er went out to investigate by himself and left a note for Ling Jue. Ling Jue casually ordered a side dish, filled a bowl of porridge, and sat in the room to sip. As she ate, the sun was shining now, and she planned to wait until it cooled down a little before going to have a look near the palace. Obviously, this saint is a breakthrough. She has a noble status and is opposed to war. If he can see her and incite her emotions, and cooperate inside and outside, there is no fear that Huo Qing can still hold on.

Ling Jue, who was walking by the palace wall, saw the guard in front of him. He looked familiar. This face seemed to be that of someone Chang Ning had seen before. When the other party saw her, he was stunned for two seconds. This hesitation made Ling Jue also... She was confused, she was in disguise now, and logically no one would recognize her. Ling Jue walked past the guard with his chest raised and his head raised. Sure enough, he didn't react at all. Ling Jue breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Ning's people were still here, so it was certain that Chang Ning was fine. He should have touched the palace. . Ling Jue thought that no wonder Chang Ning would choose him. Sometimes their minds could really collide.

Ling Jue walked around the city wall and found no big clues. When she was about to leave, an old man stopped her. Ling Jue found a bamboo cage next to the old man with several crickets in the cage. Ling Jue observed the old man and saw that the old man handed the bamboo cage in his hand to the guard before leaving. When the old man came to his side, Ling Jue stopped him, "Old man, what is in your bamboo cage?"

The old man became excited when he heard someone ask him, "That's the cricket I carefully selected." He continued to talk, "There is a lady named Sun in the palace who likes crickets very much, and she catches Miss Sun. A satisfied cricket can get ten pieces of silver." Ling Jue had an idea and found a good way to enter the city, and she also asked the old man for advice on how to identify a good cricket.

Ling Jue returned to the inn with satisfaction, only to find that the woodshed where she and Yin Er lived seemed to have been invaded by thieves. Ling Jue immediately went to find his boss, who said he had never seen anyone suspicious. Inquiring from other people, a boy who saw Yin Er today said that he only saw Yin Er hurried back to the woodshed today, didn't apologize when he bumped into him, and then picked up a package and left. .

Did she leave her behind and run away? Ling Jue felt that it shouldn't be possible. Yin Er didn't look like a child who couldn't bear hardships. Moreover, if he returned to the military camp by himself and others asked why she didn't go back with him, Yin Er would definitely be punished if he was found out.

Just when Ling Jue was thinking wildly, she heard a knock on the door. Yin Er's voice was at the door. "Miss, please pack up quickly. We have to change places." Ling Jue opened the door and saw Yin Er's voice. Second, there were a few guys following behind him. Although they were all dressed in ordinary clothes, they were all extraordinary in appearance.

"these are?"

"They are people sent by the city lord to carry your luggage." The small bag of things Ling Jue packed surprised the big men who came.

"Is that all?" one of the big men asked curiously.

"Yes." Ling Jue replied calmly.

The big man was ashamed. He thought there would be a big battle when the city lord asked a few people to bring a few people, but it turned out that this lady really went into battle lightly. Obviously Chang Ning had a wrong understanding of Ling Jue, but he didn't blame Chang Ning. Based on his understanding of Ling Jue, once Ling Jue went out, the carriage would not be enough to pull him. If he were not afraid of being too ostentatious, he would at least There must be two carriages for Ling Jue.

Although it was of no use, Ling Jue still thanked Chang Ning from the bottom of his heart. Following Yin Er, they arrived at a mansion overnight. Yin Er told Ling Jue that his master lived here now. Ling Jue was also a little curious about Yin Er's master. She asked Yin Er, "What kind of person is your master?" ?”

Yin Er thought for a while and replied, "Although he looks fierce, he is a good person." Ling Jue probably knew what Yin Er's master was like. They walked inside and passed through the corridor. Ling Jue saw a familiar figure. Chang Ning was wearing moon-white clothes and stood far away from Ling Jue. Ling looked at him in despair. He looked the same as before, neither thinner nor fatter.

When she met someone familiar, Ling Jue didn't know what to say. Chang Ning walked up to her and asked her, "How are you lately?"

Ling Jue replied, "Okay," but looking at Chang Ning like this, she always felt strange. In order to verify her doubts, she deliberately walked half a step in front of Chang Ning. She stretched out her feet. Because it was dark and the candlelight was not bright enough, Chang Ning behind her was caught and fell to the ground hard.

Ling Jue pointed at Chang Ning and shouted before 'Chang Ning' could speak, "Who are you, pretending to be the city lord?" 'Chang Ning' looked at Ling Jue and felt incredible. He had been in the world for so many years, and no one had ever been able to see through him. Ling Jue was the first person to see through his disguise.

"Where did you see it?" 'Chang Ning' took off his fake face and revealed the face hidden behind the disguise. It was an old man with a white beard who looked older.

"Master!" Yin Er recognized his master immediately and hurried to his side to help him up.

Only then did Ling Jue realize that he was the disguise master, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to do it, I just thought you were a little weird."

The old man didn't mind Ling Jue testing him at all. Instead, he was curious about how Ling Jue recognized him.

"Intuition, and even though the weather is dark, Chang Ning will not trip over my clumsy movements." Ling Jue believed in Chang Ning so much that the old man who had been helped up stroked his white beard and laughed loudly, " No wonder Chang Ning said there was no need to test you, you really have a connection with him." Ling Jue smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that it was not the case.

"Do you know where Chang Ning is now?"

The old man answered her, "Chang Ning is not in the mansion now, but in the palace. If you want to find him, you should wait until the day after tomorrow." If Chang Ning is in the palace, that's fine. Ling Jue already knows how to enter the palace. Early the next morning, Ling Jue took Yin Er to the river to catch crickets. She deliberately picked crickets with thick legs, big butts, sharp teeth and long tentacles.

After accepting Ling Jue's order, Yin Er asked Ling Jue while looking for crickets, "Miss, why are you catching crickets?"

"Don't worry about it. Just listen to the crickets and don't hurt the crickets." Today, Ling Jue caught three crickets, large, medium and small, but they were all average in appearance, so Ling Jue chose one. Among them, the most ordinary-looking one was packed in a bamboo basket and arrived at the gate of the palace. The guard saw that it was for sending crickets, and after looking at it, he sent Ling Jue away. Ling Jue still caught crickets the next day, but today she met A good big cricket, just as the cricket was delivered to the palace gate, Ling Jue saw the guards rushing over and said to her: "You take the token, Miss Sun said she wants to see you." Ling Jue hurriedly Carrying the cricket into the palace, she thought it would be a protracted battle. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky to be treated differently by Miss Sun. Could it be that the ordinary cricket yesterday was still a king? Ling Jue guessed as he went to the palace where Miss Sun lived. The interior of Suzaku City is very large, with many areas, and it is easy to get lost. If it were not for the guards and maids to lead the way, Ling Jue would have to get lost inside. When he arrived at a palace, the maid who brought her asked him to wait in the front hall. After a while, a woman wearing a veil and gorgeous clothes came out. She looked at Ling Jue and exclaimed, "You... How did the little dwarf find such powerful crickets? All my good crickets were beaten by him and they lost all their fighting spirit. You have to explain it to me." Ling Jue didn't know the reason. She looked towards This woman must be the legendary Miss Sun. Ling Jue rolled his eyes and made up a reason at random, "I inherited this cricket from my family. It is a special species in the legend. Although It may look unattractive, but it’s even more powerful than that powerful-looking cricket.”

"Really?" Sun Liyan somewhat suspected that Ling Jue was tricking her.

"Of course it's true." Ling Jue showed sincerity in his eyes.

"Then I believe you for the time being." Sun Liyan accepted Ling Jue's words. She asked the servant to bring out a few gold bars and told Ling Jue, "From now on, you can only supply me with goods. This is a deposit for you. Don't If you think about cheating and cheating, I won't be able to spare you if I find out." Sun Liyan said fiercely, Ling Jue nodded repeatedly, and put away the gold bars with a greedy look on his face. Sun Liyan was only satisfied when she saw Ling Jue's appearance, it was still easy to handle. It is more convenient for people. Sun Liyan felt a toothache when she thought of Huo Qing on the battlefield.

Ling Jue left the place after accepting the gold bars. The token was temporarily kept by her to facilitate entry and exit of the palace. Ling Jue turned left and right, pretending to have left. After no one noticed her, Ling Jue went to where the saint was. Although the palace was big, because the temple was at the highest place, it was easy to get there. turn up. Ling Jue walked towards the tallest building. He was hiding and avoiding any danger along the way, but there were two guards in front of the gate. Ling Jue looked at the high wall and glanced around to see if there was anything. Something to put your feet on. Finally, she found a stone, which was enough for her to slip in. Ling Jue finally climbed to the wall and saw that her position was still far from the ground. Ling Jue jumped down with a heartbeat. There were flowers following her below. So there was no injury. Ling Jue walked through the flowers and saw two people sitting in the courtyard not far away playing chess. Facing her was a gentle and beautiful woman, and the figure sitting opposite the woman holding a sunspot was particularly special. familiar.

Ling Jue approached cautiously, and her whereabouts were naturally noticed by Chang Ning. A chess piece passed by her ear, and Ling Jue broke out in cold sweat.

"Who are you and how did you get in?" Ling Jue looked at Chang Ning in front of him. Sure enough, he didn't recognize her. Ling Jue felt a little sour in his heart for no reason. Chang Ning didn't notice her poor disguise, and the disguise master disguised him. She discovered it immediately.

Ling Jue had no choice but to say, "I'm here to find you, City Lord." Chang Ning looked murderous. Logically speaking, his identity is now a Go teacher. No one except the disguise master Zhao Lao and the saint Yi Wanrou knows. How could the unseen boy in front of him know his true identity behind this face? And he looks like he came from outside the palace. When Chang Ning revealed his murderous intention, Yi Wanrou behind him spoke, "You should be the guest invited by sister Li Yan." Ling Jue looked at Yi Wanrou, who looked indifferent to the world. No wonder Chang Ning would break through from her side.

"Lord Saint, my true identity is Ling Jue, the princess of Haicheng. I came here today to ask Lady Saint to help stop the war between the two countries." Ling Jue ignored Chang Ning and communicated with Yi Wanrou. Chang Ning's pupils dilated, and the killing intent in him suddenly disappeared. He couldn't believe that Ling Jue would actually come to Phoenix City.

"Then how can we prove your identity?" Although Yi Wanrou is kind, she is not a fool. Ling Jue directly threw out the key to Haicheng's treasure that he carried with him, "We in Haicheng have nothing but money, otherwise Huo You don't want to operate from Haicheng. If we cooperate, the treasures of Haicheng are enough for the world to live in peace." Yi Wanrou looked up at Ling Jue, she smiled and said to Ling Jue, "Princess Haicheng is indeed extraordinary. ." Yi Wanrou did not accept the key, but judging from her attitude, it was clear that she was on Ling Jue's side. Chang Ning watched Yi Wanrou, whom he had persuaded for a long time, suddenly become sidetracked. Sure enough, even the kindest people in the world have selfish motives, not to mention who doesn't want their people to live well, and Ling Jue, in this saint, In a woman's eyes, she probably sees a God of Wealth coming to her door.
