I made the villain right.

The lights in the secret room were bright, and a group of people were looking at a large map of Kyoto to discuss countermeasures.

"From the palace to the execution ground in the East Market, we will pass through Shengping Street, East Street, and Baique Lane. East Street is complicated and densely populated, which will help us escape the pursuers after rescuing the Shi father and son. In my opinion, it is safest to act here."

The person who spoke was the shopkeeper of Fumengxuan, named Gucheng. On the surface, he was helping Fanhua manage the business of Fumengxuan, but in fact, he was the one in charge of the secret city's information spy network.

They have already passed the news of Kyoto City back to Fengyun Pavilion, but time is urgent and even if Shi Jin and Fan Hua received the news, they cannot make it back, so this task will be done by them. In order to save the Shi father and son, some secret guards of Fengyun Pavilion hidden in Kyoto City, as well as the people in the secret city will all be dispatched.

Xiao Ba thought for a moment and said, "After the Shi family father and son are rescued, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers and officers conducting a city-wide search. Fumengxuan is far from East Street and cannot be reached in such a short time. We can only abandon this hiding place and find another place. But where can we hide now?"

After hearing this, Gu Cheng's expression became serious. His eyes became calm and deep as he looked at the topographic map. He was obviously thinking about how to solve this problem.

After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly stopped at a certain place on the picture, and he had the answer in his mind.

At this time, the stalker suddenly came in and reported: "Mayor, I just received a note and I don't know who sent it."

Gu Cheng was surprised when he heard this. Fumengxuan was now deserted and no outsiders would pass on information to it.

Gu Cheng opened the note, which read: We are willing to work together to rescue the Shi father and son. We will meet in Yunshuijian at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow to discuss countermeasures.

After reading it, Gu Cheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise and a complicated expression. There was actually someone who not only knew their whereabouts, but also wanted to save the Shi father and son just like them. He couldn't tell whether this was true or a trap.

Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba saw that Gu Cheng looked a little strange, and immediately asked, "What's written on it?"

Gu Cheng didn't say anything but handed the note to them to read, and they were puzzled and suspicious when they saw it.

Xiao Qi asked: "Could this be a trap?"

Xiao Ba thought for a while and said, "It's possible, but is it possible that it was passed on by someone who has a good relationship with the General's Mansion?"

Xiao Ba's words awakened Gu Cheng. He suddenly remembered that Shi Wei met with Feng Nanyiyi before he was captured. According to intelligence records, they seemed to be discussing some important information, and Feng Nanyiyi escaped through the window when Shi Wei was captured.

The person supporting Feng Nanyiyi behind the scenes is the Fourth Prince. Could it be that the Fourth Prince also wants to save the Shi father and son?

Gu Cheng had a suspect in his mind: "I guess the person who delivered the message is the Fourth Prince."

Everyone looked puzzled when they heard this.

Xiao Ba was puzzled and asked, "As far as they know, the Second Prince has very little contact with the General's Mansion. If there is such a relationship, then the Fourth Prince's fiancée Yun Youying has a good relationship with the Madam. Is it necessary for the Fourth Prince to do this for a fiancée?"

"That's not the case. The defeat of the General's Mansion is related to the situation in the court. The Fourth Prince and the Second Prince have been fighting for the throne for many years. In one night, the Second Prince became the crown prince. The Fourth Prince is unwilling to accept this. The Second Prince has Qin Yixian behind him. If the Fourth Prince wants to seize power, he needs to find someone who can compete with him. Shi Wei, who has been competing with Qin Yixian for many years, is the most suitable candidate. The Fourth Prince has his own reasons for saving them."

"That makes sense." Xiao Qi thought for a while and decided: "If they can help, this plan will be more likely to succeed. Tomorrow, Xiao Ba and I will go to Yunshuijian to find out what's going on."

"That's right," Gu Cheng agreed.

Then they continued to discuss the issue of hiding. After some discussion, they finally decided to hide in Fan Mansion. That is, the most dangerous place is the safest place. If soldiers come in to search, they can also hide in the secret room of Fan Mansion without worrying about exposing their whereabouts.

The next day.

The servants in the Fourth Prince's mansion kept Feng Nanyiyi's instructions in mind and went out to Shuiyunjian in the morning. The people who were watching outside the door did not pay attention to these servants in the mansion.

Yunshuijian was bustling with people and there were many guests.

After the waiter came in, he went straight to the shopkeeper at the counter. When the shopkeeper saw the waiter, he asked enthusiastically, "What instructions do you have, sir?"

The waiter handed the menu to Shopkeeper Yu, who took it with a puzzled look. As he opened it, he heard the waiter say, "This is the recipe that Mr. Feng from the Fourth Prince's residence requested. You can prepare it according to the recipe and book a good private room. Mr. Feng also specifically asked that a red lantern be placed in the room. Mr. Feng will come to dine at Mao time."

The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed when he heard the word "red lantern". The red lantern was the secret code for their meeting with Feng Nanyiyi. They had always been exchanging letters with Feng Nanyiyi and rarely met unless under special circumstances. The fact that Feng Nanyiyi asked them to meet at the hour of Mao meant that he had something very important to tell them.

"Sir, please go back and tell Mr. Feng that everything will be ready, so he can rest assured."

"Okay," the servant said and left.

……

There were still three quarters of an hour left before the agreed time.

In order to shake off the person who was monitoring him outside the door, Feng Nanyiyi found a man with a similar body shape to him, changed into his clothes and went out through the back door. The person who was following him saw this and secretly followed him. After the man was led away, Feng Nanyiyi went out and immediately went to Yunshuijian.

Xu Wusheng walked out of the main gate in a swagger. He asked Yun Youying to go out to the market together. It seemed like they were just shopping, but in fact they were planning how to get away.

While sitting in the carriage, Xu Wusheng told Yun Youying about his plan.

"Ying'er, someone has been following me recently, which makes it difficult for me to act, so I need you to help me get away."

When Yun Youying heard that he was being followed, he frowned and looked nervous, and even his tone was a little panicked: "Brother Wusheng, how can I help you?"

Xu Wusheng saw that Yun Youying was a little nervous, so he took her hand and comforted her softly: "Don't panic, Ying'er, I have arranged a plan, you just need to cooperate with me"

Yun Youying heard this and leaned on his shoulder with peace of mind: "Okay." After thinking for a moment, she felt confused, so she asked: "Brother Wusheng, have you offended someone? Why would someone dare to follow you?"

Xu Wusheng didn't say it directly: "Recently, there have been a lot of changes in Kyoto. Maybe someone is afraid that I will do something that will harm his interests, so he sent someone to follow me."

Xu Wusheng thought of something, so he reminded her: "Ying'er, the capital city has been in turmoil these days, so you should stay in the mansion as much as possible and go out less."

"I know." After saying that, Yun Youying lowered her eyes. There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. She vaguely felt that something was going to happen.

Yun Youying thought about the fact that Shi's father and son were about to be beheaded, and a trace of worry appeared between her brows and she straightened her body.

She sighed and said, "General Shi and Shaoqing Shi are the pillars of our dynasty, but who would have thought that they would be sentenced to death overnight? The execution will be carried out in two days, and Jin'er is not in Kyoto. I'm afraid she won't have the chance to see them for the last time. How sad she will be when she returns to the capital and learns about this."

Xu Wusheng's eyes fluctuated. In order to divert her emotions, he immediately changed the subject: "Ying'er, I have booked a private room. After we enter the teahouse, Wang Yi will pretend to be me. You just need to cooperate with him and pretend to drink tea in the teahouse. After a cup of tea, you can go back home."

They got off the carriage and walked to the busy street. Xu Wusheng saw a mask stall not far away, so he pulled Yun Youying towards it and whispered as he walked, "Ying'er, let's buy a mask and put it on before going in."

Although Yun Youying was confused about this request, she did not ask any more questions and agreed softly, "Okay."

They stopped at a mask stall and Yun Youying chose two masks, one was a fox mask and the other was a rabbit mask.

She handed the fox mask to Xu Wusheng: "Brother Wusheng, you wear this"

Xu Wusheng took it with a smile and put it on himself. Then Yun Youying also put on the mask and asked happily, "Brother Wusheng, does this look good on me?"

"Ying'er is beautiful, and she looks great in anything she wears"

Yun Youying felt so sweet in her heart when he praised her that her face turned red. Fortunately, her face was covered by the mask and could not be seen, otherwise she would have shyly lowered her head and dared not look at him.

The stall owner smiled and praised: "You two look a good match, and wearing this mask makes you look even better."

Xu Wusheng was delighted when he heard this. He gave the stall owner five taels of silver without asking the price and said, "No need to change."

After saying that, they left. The man in black who was following them followed them.

The stall owner's eyes sparkled after receiving the money, and he shouted happily behind them: "Thank you, sir. Take care, sir."

After Xu Wusheng entered the teahouse, he went straight to the private room. The man in black followed him upstairs stealthily and took a peek into the room. He found that they were the only two people in the room, leisurely chatting while drinking tea.

The man in black was afraid of exposing his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to peek outside the door for too long, so he could only find a seat on the first floor and continue to watch the movements upstairs.

Xu Wusheng noticed that the man in black had left and called out to Wang Yi. Wang Yi, who was hiding in the dark, immediately showed up after hearing the voice: "Master!"

Xu Wusheng took a look at him and was relieved to see that he was dressed exactly like himself. He then handed the mask to Wang Yi and said, "Wear this mask when you go out."

"Yes" Wang Yi took the mask.

Seeing this, Yun Youying realized that Xu Wusheng bought the mask to confuse the enemy. He thought it through very carefully. It was not enough for Wang Yi to just dress like the real person. Only after he put on the mask would no one know that he was an imposter.

After a moment, Yun Youying looked at Xu Wusheng and said, "Leave this to me, Brother Wusheng, just do what you want to do."

Xu Wusheng glanced at her, then hurriedly left behind the window and immediately headed for Yunshuijian.

After Xu Wusheng entered the room, he found that there were several other people in the room besides Feng Nanyiyi. Among them, he recognized Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, because he had seen them in Fan Mansion. The rest were unfamiliar faces.

When everyone saw Xu Wusheng come in, their eyes were focused on him.

"Your Highness is here, let me introduce you to my friends."

Feng Nanyi pointed at the middle-aged man in gray next to him and said, "This is Bai Jin." He then introduced the young man in white next to the middle-aged man in gray and said, "That's Pei Luoheng."

Bai Jin and Pei Luoheng are both from Qianshuang Pavilion. Bai Jin is the protector of Qianshuang Sect, while Pei Luoheng is Feng Nanyiyi's eldest disciple. Over the years, they have followed Feng Nanyiyi in hiding in Kyoto City, and Yunshuijian is their hiding place.

"Your Highness," Bai Jin and Pei Luoheng greeted him in a friendly manner.

Xu Wusheng bowed slightly in return.

Then Feng Nanyi turned around and introduced Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba: "These two are friends of the Fan Mansion."

.......

After Xu Wusheng got to know the people present one by one, he got down to business.

An hour passed......

After everyone's brainstorming, a meticulous rescue plan came up with.
