Everyone agreed with Song Wanning's idea, and Yun Che brought up something else.

"If we want to fight Xu Wuzhi, we won't be able to do it with just a few of us. He was able to blockade the entire capital, which means that the city defense forces are already in his hands."

Lei Ting understood what he meant: "I will send a pigeon to the military camp and ask them to prepare and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Yun Che shook his head: “You don’t have to send everyone back to the capital. You should first secretly deploy a few teams and have them return to the capital with light luggage. You must conceal your whereabouts and be quick. There are spies under Xu Wuzhi’s command in Jiangcheng. If Xu Wuzhi finds out, he might take action in advance, which would be detrimental to the emperor.”

"I understand." Lei Ting said, and started to deliver the letter.

Song Wanning did not dare to delay and tried to find a way to send a letter to the Song family in the city.

She followed Lei Ting deeper into the woods for a while, and suddenly noticed movement in the bushes.

Then Song Wanning heard that special voice.

[I’m so tired. Is there any fruit around here? I’m so hungry that my thorns have become soft.]

Song Wanning walked over carefully and found a little hedgehog lying there.

She smiled and said, isn’t this a tool for sending messages?

"Little guy, if you help me pass a message to a family in the city, I will give you some fruit to eat. How about that?"

The little hedgehog agreed immediately.

In this way, Song Wanning wrote a letter, rolled it up, stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, and hung it around the little hedgehog's neck with a rope.

Then, he told it the address of the Song family and the appearance of Song Jiang, Song Rong and Liu Mei.

Afraid that the little hedgehog was too hungry to walk, Song Wanning first fed it two fruits.

"When you come back, I have more fruit for you to eat. Go and come back soon, okay?"

【Guaranteed mission completion! 】

The little hedgehog slid away and disappeared.

In the capital, at the Song residence.

Song Jiang learned about the martial law in the capital from his neighbors. After telling Yun Si and Yun Tang, they asked everyone to close the doors and not go out.

The two had followed Yun Che for many years and were keenly aware that something had happened in the capital.

After knowing that the two of them were sent by Yun Che, Song Jiang trusted them very much and hurriedly prepared to close the door and refuse visitors.

This hurdle is not a big deal. Song Jiang feels that the door seems not to be closed tightly.

Is there something blocking the middle?

Song Jiang looked down and saw a little hedgehog crawling in, squeaking in pain.

The sound was too soft, and Song Jiang had to listen carefully to hear it.

"Where did this little thing come from? How did it get into someone else's yard?"

Song Jiang was very depressed. Logically speaking, shouldn't these small animals in the wild be afraid of people?

The little hedgehog was afraid that he would be thrown out, so he stood up with great effort and showed Song Jiang the small bamboo tube around his neck.

Song Jiang opened his eyes wide, feeling extremely surprised, but he discovered something was wrong the next second.

He squatted down and took off the small bamboo tube from the little hedgehog's neck and found a note inside.

When Song Jiang opened it, he did not dare to delay and hurried to look for Yun Si, Yun Tang, Song Rong and Liu Mei.

"This is my sister's handwriting! My sister asked us to find a way to get them into the city!"

Yun Si and Yun Tang looked at each other: "The master is back."

Song Jiang was very excited: "We must bring them in quickly, otherwise if something happens to the emperor and Xu Wuzhi ascends the throne, none of us will be able to escape!"

Liu Mei was worried: "I heard from your Aunt Wang that you can go out now, but you can't come back in after you go out. Her brother-in-law is now stopped outside the city and won't be allowed in no matter what."

"Mom, we have to go check out the situation. We can't just sit here and wait for death!"

So, a few people decided to go to the city gate tower to take a look.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Song Jiang noticed that the guard was someone he had seen before.

It seemed like this was a patient he had seen before. Although he couldn't remember, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.

When Song Jiang arrived at the city gate, he first greeted him: "Sir, do you still remember me?"

The lieutenant on duty looked at him for a while, then nodded: "Doctor Song, what, you want to leave the city too? Don't blame me for not telling you in advance, the whole city is under strict lockdown starting today, and you can't come back in once you go out."

Song Jiang smiled and said, "Sir, my family is going to buy some herbs. The herb dealer came this morning and has been waiting outside for a long time. Let's talk at the tea stall outside the city."

As he spoke, Song Jiang pointed to a tea stall not far outside the city.

"It will only take a moment. I will be right back and you can see it. I will definitely not make things difficult for you."

As he said this, Song Jiang calmly stuffed a bulging purse full of silver into the lieutenant's hand.

The lieutenant weighed it and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Then he thought about it again, and felt that the number of people in Song Jiang's family was there, and if he came back without bringing anyone else, nothing would happen.

"Okay, then hurry up and don't delay."

Song Jiang nodded and thanked him, then took Liu Mei, Song Rong, and a few "porters" with him. After the lieutenant counted the number of people, they quickly left the city.

Not far away, Lei Ting had been staring at this side. After seeing Song Jiang and his men coming out, he sat down at the tea stall. After a while, the waiter came over to deliver the news.

Lei Ting told Yun Che what Song Jiang meant, and Yun Che understood.

"Everyone change your clothes first, then go over to hand over."

Lei Ting looked at the unconscious Xu Lian and asked, "General, what about her?"

If no one was watching Xu Lian, she would definitely find a chance to return to the Xu family and inform Xu Wuzhi.

"Don't you have a cart? Bury her among the herbs."

Yun Che didn't even glance over there.

Afterwards, Yun Che and others replaced the "porters" and followed Song Jiang into the capital.

There were guards watching here the whole time. Although they couldn't see clearly from a distance, they were still afraid of arousing suspicion and were in a state of panic the whole time.

Only when they finally returned to the Song residence did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Yun Si and Yun Tang came to greet Yun Che: "Master!"

Song Wanning, Song Rong, Liu Mei and Song Jiang get together.

"Sister, you are finally back!"

"Ning'er, how have you been on this journey? You've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot." Liu Mei said with red eyes.

Song Wanning quickly comforted her: "Mom, I'm back safely, right? Don't worry about it."

Time waits for no one. The longer we delay, the more dangerous the emperor will be in the palace.

"Everyone, I know there is a secret passage that leads directly to the palace. I escaped from that secret passage today. I can take you into the palace, but the emperor is heavily guarded. They are all Xu Wuzhi's men. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the emperor even if you enter the palace."

Chunzhi said at this time with a sad face.

It’s not that he didn’t trust Yun Che and the others, it’s just that Li Cheng was a hurdle that he really couldn’t get past.

After all, Chunzhi was short-sighted. He felt that Yun Che and his men alone could not rescue the emperor. He wanted to wait for the Yun family army to return to the capital so that he could capture the rebels in one fell swoop.
