Give you a spring

Liang Jingzhao and Guan Yue came to Wanbaotang, Su Yu was still inside, and there was such a big fight just now, the clerks inside were gone, only the shopkeeper was left unconscious in the warehouse.Guan Yue walked over and took a breath. He was already very weak, so he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and poured out a pill for him to take. He then simply bandaged the wound with the most bleeding. Liang Jingzhao looked around and dragged Get a sack.

"Using this to move him out?" he asked.

"Okay," Guan Yue said, then raised Su Yu's head, and the two worked together to pull him in.

Jing Zhao rubbed his hands full of blood, couldn't help frowning, and said, "The injury is so serious, who did it?"

"I don't know," Guan Yue has been interrogating You Buqing in the yamen. His Highness and Guard He are dealing with Wanbao Hall. He said uncertainly, "It should be Guard He's hands, right?"

"I think so too," Ping Wei still has a very good image in Jingzhao's heart, such a bloody thing... doesn't quite fit his impression of the other party.

Guan Yue nodded, but remembered what His Highness said yesterday about what he did in the black market, he hesitated to speak, and glanced at Young Master Liang who was staring at Su Yu with his head down—forget it, let’s not talk to him anymore .

The two walked out of the inn together, Liang Jingzhao found a carriage, left Su Yu behind, and sat in the front driving place with Guan Yue - the other party had already briefly told him what happened in the past two days on the way here, But there were still some things he didn't understand.

"Did you think that I was killed by You Buqing, just like Pingwei?"

"No," Guan Yue said, "I was misled by him, thinking that he had buried explosives under the Wanbao Hall, so I hurried over here, and on the way I heard explosions from the other courtyard. I met He Zhou and came to find you with him."

"You Buqing hates Pingwei so much, why didn't he just blow up Wanbaotang, didn't he guess that Pingwei would go there today?" Liang Jingzhao asked suspiciously.

"Maybe Pingwei killed his two relatives and left him alone in this world. He thought that losing a close person to Pingwei would also cause him pain," Guan Yue guessed. He thought that You Buqing was in Wanbaotang He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped because he had zha medicine in his possession. He wondered what he would do if His Highness died, how he would explain to His Majesty when he returned, and whether he would lose his official position.So the moment he saw He Zhou, he suddenly felt relieved - the other party was always inseparable from His Highness, and since he was fine, it meant that His Highness was also safe and sound.

And after he learned that it was not Wanbaotang that was bombed, but the courtyard where he lived, he felt a little lucky. Even if he was told that Liang Jingzhao might still be inside, he was not as panicked as before.

But now that he was with Young Master Liang, he still felt a little guilty, and his attitude towards him was also very gentle, and he almost responded to every request.

"It looks like this," Jing Zhao nodded as he listened to him, "I found the five abandoned carriages in a weeds at the junction of Ningyao and Fengdu."

Guan Yue was startled, and asked reflexively, "Is there a part of the gunpowder inside?"

"No," Liang Jingzhao said, "I contacted the officials at Ningyao and asked them to come and inspect it. The five discarded vehicles are already on their way to the frontier."

"Great," Guan Yue's eyes lit up, "something good has finally happened, we have to report it to His Majesty as soon as we return to Linjing."

"But the gunpowder transported from Fengdu to Nanling hasn't been found yet?" Jing Zhao said calmly, not as happy as he was.

"Yes, I'm afraid we will have to go to Nanling later."

"I don't know who will go, Ping Wei will definitely go back to Linjing," Jing Zhao looked at Guan Yue, "Will Brother He be with him?"

"Should be..." Guan Yue wanted to say that it was impossible for Guard He to leave Ping Wei's side, "But I have an official position in the Ministry of Industry, so I can't stay away from the palace for a long time, will your father agree with you to go to Nanling? You came to Fengdu this time in a sneaky way, right?"

Jing Zhao smiled wryly, "Indeed, Ping Wei looked for me too urgently on the day of departure, and didn't have time to tell my father."

So it is also possible that He Zhou went to Nanling alone?

Guan Yue was a little curious, would the other party agree.

The two came to the yamen while they were talking. Guan Yue was already familiar with the people inside. Seeing a policeman approaching quickly, he immediately pointed to Su Yu who was in the carriage behind him. The other party quickly dragged out the sack and carried it on his shoulders. Walk in with them.

Su Yu was thrown in the cell next to You Buqing. Before Guan Yue could say anything, the police officer who interrogated You Buqing had already brought a bucket of water, opened the sack and tore Su Yu's head out. Ice water was poured on him.

The effect was very good, Su Yu woke up from the coma in the blink of an eye, he slowed down for a while, saw Liang Jingzhao standing in front of him, grinned and said, "Are you not dead?"

Jing Zhao raised his eyebrows and replied, "Better than your life."

"You know me?" He paused and asked again.

"Yes, You Buqing and I mentioned you guys, you are the son of the general who is in charge of guarding the capital."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," Guan Yue interjected, "How did you get in touch with Donghu Xizuo in Nanling, by letter?"

Su Yu was interrupted, turned to look at him, "Yes," he smiled, and said indifferently, "But they were all burned."

This was expected by Guan Yue, so he asked again, "How did the letter get delivered?"

Su Yu didn't answer.

Guan Yue looked at him, why did the other party choose to be the shopkeeper of a restaurant, Wanbaotang must have been opened after his suggestion, Wanbaotang... the warehouse... He suddenly saw With a flash of light, he said, "Is it to hide the letter in the shipping box? Wrap it in a thick cloth and pick some goods that don't need ice, so as to avoid the possibility of being wet and damaged."

When Jing Zhao heard it, he stared thoughtfully at Su Yu who was on the ground, "Is that so?"

Su Yu didn't reply, and the two people who were standing took it as his acquiescence, and Jing Zhao looked at Guan Yue, "I'm sure we won't be able to find those letters now, but the wharf near Fengdu is about to be rectified."

Guan Yue nodded, and he will start to do it after returning to Beijing. He pondered for a while, and asked, "Go to You Buqing next door and ask him who is the person who helped ignite the explosives? If he sees that you are still alive, he must have a very serious expression on his face." Rich."

Young Master Liang smiled, "Okay."

Guan Yue looked at Su Yu again, he and the other party were the only two left in the prison, he said the name that You Buqing had mentioned to him before, "Is Yang Zhirong the one who contacted you in Nanling?"

Su Yu glanced over, Guan Yue reached out and grabbed his mouth, "Answer."

"Yes," Su Yu squeezed out a word between his teeth,

"Anyone else?"

"A lot, more than you can imagine."

"How did you get in?" Isn't it across a moat.

"Although they are separated by a river, Da Qi and Dong Hu are not completely disconnected from each other. Sometimes businessmen from the two countries will still conduct trade," Su Yu said as if he knew what he was thinking.

Guan Yue narrowed his eyes, "So you took the opportunity of coming to Daqi to do business and sneaked into Nanling?"

"It's not secretly," Su Yu retorted angrily, "It's aboveboard. You Daqi took it lightly, so don't blame us."

It seems that the merchants who came to the city to do business also have to investigate, Guan Yue thought for a while, "When are you going to do it?"

This question was on point, Su Yu raised the corner of his mouth, a cold smile appeared in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

Just as Guan Yue was about to press him again, footsteps came from behind him, and he looked back, it was Ping Wei and He Zhou.

"When will we do it?" Ping Wei stood by the door, looking directly at Su Yu across the gate.

"You're here," Su Yu met his gaze, opened the corners of his mouth like an acquaintance, and waved.

Ping Wei ignored him, as if waiting for an answer.

Su Yu was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking about it, and then said, "You know...you Buqing's little bit of zha is a signal?"

"What do you mean?" Ping Wei asked.

"We plan to take action three hours after he ignites the explosives, that is... half of the Nanling will be blown up before midnight today. You are too late," he looked at Ping Wei, with three points of sarcasm and seven points of secret joy Authentic, "Even if we pass now, it will take more than half a day. And once Nanling is bombed, my Donghu army will arrive as scheduled."

Guan Yue's face was pale. At first, he thought that this matter was messed up, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. He looked at Ping Wei in a panic, and the other party was expressionless. He raised his head and asked him, "You told Nanling before Letter, did they reply?"

"Yes, I said that we will strengthen our defenses," Guan Yue replied.

"Which general is guarding the Nanling?"

"Qin Zhaoyi, General Qin, Nanling has a total of [-] naval troops guarding the moat, and there are also [-] elite soldiers in the interior."

Ping Wei thought for a moment, "He Zhou and I will go directly to Nanling later, and you and Liang Jingzhao will stay?"

Guan Yue frowned, "His Royal Highness, you have to go back to Beijing to report this matter to His Majesty, I'm afraid that you go directly..."

"It's too late, I'm going to arrive at Nanling tonight," Ping Wei interrupted him, saying without any explanation, and turned to look at He Zhou, but to his surprise, He Zhou didn't agree, he took a step forward and held Ping Wei With Wei's hand, he said in a deep voice, "What Guan Yue means is that you can't go to Nanling without the consent of Emperor Chong. It's something." It would break the rules, he looked at Pingwei fixedly, and shook his head.

Ping Wei was stunned for a moment, Guan Yue echoed beside him, "Yes, Your Highness, you have to go back to Beijing."

"Then who should go to Nanling?" Ping Wei asked.

Guan Yue was silent for a while, "I'll go, I have some friendship with General Qin, it will be more convenient to go to his side."

"Where is Jingzhao? You can ask his opinion, if you can, you can go together," Ping Wei said with a sinking face, "Wait until you get to the pier, I will ask Liu Qi to give you a boat, just go there. If you get there It doesn’t matter that the explosion has happened, your task is to find the spies.”

"Okay," Guan Yue replied, "Before You Buqing confessed that a spy named Yang Zhirong was in Nanling, I can start with her when I get there."

"En," Ping Wei looked away from him, looked at Su Yu, and responded lightly.

He Zhou turned sideways and let him leave.

Pingwei squatted down, met Su Yu's gaze on the ground, and before he could speak, he asked Convenience first, "Did you think that everything would be done step by step, Xie Xu, since you knew that Ning Yao's fire medicine was robbed and rushed to Fengdu?" It’s too late to start now.”

He smiled contemptuously, "We got the gunpowder a long time ago, and we won't wait until you arrive at Nanling to blow up the city."

Ping Wei listened to him quietly, "Even if your army reaches Nanling, I believe Da Qi's navy will stop you there."

"Is it possible?" Su Yu asked back, "We have been preparing for this war for a long time."

Ping Wei didn't want to chat with him anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "How do you plan to bomb Nanling?"

He looked behind, He Zhou immediately took out the map of Nanling from his arms, put it on the ground, and looked at Su Yu opposite.

The other party was not that stupid, he told all the plans, and seeing that he didn't speak, Ping Wei squatted on the ground to study by himself, and He Zhou came up from behind and knelt down beside him.

"If I were the master of Donghu, I might choose the bustling area in the center of Nanling, where there are the most people, and the casualties will be more serious." He Zhou circled a piece in the center of Nanling with his fingers.

Ping Wei nodded, "But we didn't guess that Donghu would take the opportunity to lead troops over after the bombing of the city. Will the secret agents bury zha near the moat and kill some of the guards first?"

"It's possible, but if you plant the zha there, will it be difficult? Even if you do it in the dead of night, you will still be discovered, not to mention that there are as many zha as [-] shi."

Ping Wei said "Well", "That's right..." He looked at the map, just bombing the city with gunpowder and leading troops over may not be enough for Donghu to take Nanling.As he said just now, Daqi's naval army is not bad, Qin Zhaoyi is a very experienced general, and there are still [-] elite soldiers in the interior, but if Nanling is to be completely lost...

His eyes flashed suddenly, and his finger landed on the junction of Nanling and Linjing, "Do you think it is possible that they will blow up this area? If something happens to Nanling, the nearest city of Linjing will definitely send troops to help, but if the middle A piece of land was blown up, making Nanling and Linjing lose contact..."

"That would make Nanling helpless and help Donghu occupy it, and once the opponent succeeds," He Zhou looked at Pingwei and said word by word, "Then Linjing City will be very dangerous."

He stood up abruptly, "I'm going to find Guan Yue and Liang Jingzhao."

Ping Wei looked at Su Yu who was opposite, and the smile on the other party's face disappeared completely, "You didn't express your opinion, but I think I guessed right, didn't you?"

he asked softly.

Su Yu glanced over his head, as if he didn't want to look at him, but he had many wounds on his body, and his brows tightened in pain when such a move involved the wounds.

Ping Wei walked out of the prison and called a soldier, "Look at this man, don't let him die."

Then go to He Zhou and the others.

The three of them were standing at the entrance of the prison and discussing in low voices. Jing Zhao had just asked You Buqing who was responsible for lighting the explosives, "He is a native of Fengdu, 26 years old, and his name is Ding Feng. You Buqing said that he was originally from the Yamen The person in charge of cooking was detained by the Donghu people and forced to help them."

"Have you found out where his family is being detained?" He Zhou asked.

"I've already told the police that there should be a result in two hours."

"Well," He Zhou nodded, looked at Guan Yue again, and told him about the idea with Pingwei just now, "We guess that the Donghu people will choose to blow up the area connecting Linjing City and Nanling, and you will go to Nanling later. , find General Qin, and tell him what happened here, and we will return to Beijing and report to Emperor Chong.”

"Okay," Guan Yue's face turned pale again when he heard his words, he was secretly startled, wouldn't Nanling become very dangerous in this way?Although Da Qi has indeed been harassed by Jie Xiong and Dong Hu in the past few years, he has always stayed in Linjing City. There is always peace and tranquility under the feet of the Son of Heaven. The wars almost all take place in Nanling or in the distant frontiers. very far away from him.

However, this time when he came to Fengdu to investigate the case, he was inexplicably related to Donghu, and the other party also said that they would blow up part of Nanling before midnight today.

How does this make him react?

Guan Yue was restless, at this time Pingwei walked out of the prison behind him, stood behind him and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, saying in a low voice, "It's okay, Guan Yue."

He looked into each other's eyes and said calmly.

Jingzhao was actually a little flustered, but he didn't show it. After all, he was born as a general, and he had already made up his mind to go to the frontier. Now he just faced it early, so there was nothing to worry about.

Guan Yue and Heping stared at each other for a while, then said "Mmm" lightly.

"He Zhou and I will also arrive in Linjing City before tonight, and we will go to Nanling to find you immediately after explaining the situation to His Majesty," Ping Wei promised.

Guan Yue twitched his lips, "But don't those Donghu people say they want to blow up the road from Linjing to Nanling?"

"You can go a little farther, from Linjing to Mingyang, and then to Nanling," He Zhou replied, Mingyang is on the right side of Linjing City, above Nanling, it doesn't matter if you go farther, as long as you can get there.

"Yes," Ping Wei said, "Maybe Mingyang will also send troops over, don't worry too much, everything will be fine, as long as you arrive at Nanling tonight."

Guan Yue and Liang Jingzhao nodded, and they quickly left the prison, went back to the inn to pack their things and rushed to Nanling.

Pingwei looked at their backs and sighed, "I haven't talked to Guan Shan and General Liang about it yet, the Nanling may be bombed tonight, they both want to know that their son is in Nanling, what should they do?" ?”

"Don't be afraid," He Zhou put his arms around his waist and said softly, "If they dare to trouble you, I will take revenge back."

Ping smiled, "We'll stay here for a while, and we'll head back to Linjing when the police catch Ding Feng."

"What about You Buqing and Su Yu?" He Zhou asked.

"Let's go back and let Emperor Chong make the decision," Ping Wei said softly, "This letter is gone, and the Nanling next to it has gone wrong again, and it may be a mess for a while."
