Ji Linglan took out her beater, pretending to wipe off her sweat, but bumped straight into Xu Ning.The moment the two collided, Ji Linglan said in a low voice: "We are being watched by someone, find a chance to come to my room later, don't let anyone find out."

Xu Ning responded softly, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my mind for a moment and didn't notice someone coming."

Ji Linglan waved her hand and said, "I'm the one who made a mistake first, you're welcome, my lord."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and soon separated, Ji Linglan went back to the room, while Xu Ning went downstairs as before.After asking for some food from the shopkeeper, Xu Ning went back upstairs, leaned over to look downstairs, saw that no one was paying attention, and quickly entered Ji Linglan's room.

Xu Ning closed the door, bowed and saluted, "This subordinate has seen the young master."

Ji Linglan said bluntly: "I'm afraid we have been targeted. You inform the others and leave through the back window when you wait until midnight."

Xu Ning frowned slightly, and said: "My lord, Lin'an City is a border town, so it might be inappropriate to wander outside at night. One of my subordinates has a good friend in the city. If you agree, we can stay at his home."

"What does your friend do, can you trust him?"

Xu Ning replied truthfully: "He serves as the deputy thousand householder in the Lin'an Guard Army. He has been friends with me for many years. He is upright and trustworthy."

"In the army?" Ji Linglan pondered for a while, and then asked: "Since he has been a good friend for many years, he should know that you are serving Princess Yaohua, and he should also know that you are accompanying Princess Yaohua on this trip to Fu Kingdom."

"He knows that his subordinates serve the princess, but he doesn't know that his subordinates are traveling with the princess. But with his intelligence, he should be able to guess."

Ji Linglan thought for a while, and said: "Then according to what you said, we will spend the night at his house tonight. But you have to remember one thing, don't reveal our identities."

"Yes, my subordinates will keep in mind. If the young master has no other orders, this subordinate will leave."

Ji Linglan nodded and said, "You go."

Xu Ning turned around and came to the door, opened a crack in the door and looked outside, seeing no one around, stepped out of the room.

Ji Linglan opened the package, took out the underwear from inside, put it on carefully, changed her clothes again, opened the door and went out.Ji Linglan walked straight out of the inn, walked around, then walked to the tea house opposite the inn, asked for a private room by the window, and watched the crowd around the inn condescendingly.Sure enough, a few suspicious men were found, looking in the direction of the inn's gate from time to time.

Ji Linglan carefully took note of the faces of these people, then left the teahouse, walked around the street, came to a clothing store, bought men's clothes according to Ji Pingting's size, and then went back to the inn.When he came to the entrance of the inn, he looked up at the teahouse opposite, and happened to meet a man on the second floor, then he looked away and entered the inn.After Ji Linglan walked into her room, she put all her belongings into the locker in the dissection room, then came to Ji Pingting's door, and knocked on her door.

Seeing Ji Linglan's disguise as Zhang Chun, Ji Pingting was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother, shall we leave now?"

Ji Linglan handed the men's clothing she just bought to Ji Pingting, and said, "Ting'er, put on your clothes, and I'll make a disguise for you."

"it is good."

Ji Pingting took the clothes from Ji Linglan's hands, and went behind the screen to change again.Ji Linglan asked her to take out the cosmetics and painted on her face. Fortunately, when he was bored before, he watched videos of makeup bloggers in the dissection room. Sample.The original willow-leaf eyebrows were drawn thicker, the round nose became taller, the slightly thick lips became thinner, and some freckles were painted on the cheeks.

After finishing the painting, Ji Linglan took a closer look. The originally delicate and beautiful girl, after some transformations, turned into an ordinary-looking boy. He couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

"Ting'er, Xu Ning said that he has a good friend in Lin'an City, who is the Deputy Qianhu of the Lin'an Guard Army, and he said that he would take us to live with him temporarily. Now that you are disguised as a man, it is best not to speak, so as not to be seen through."

"Brother, why do I talk like this?" The beautiful female voice changed into a clear male voice, and Ji Pingting looked at Ji Linglan with a smile.

Ji Linglan was startled, and then said in surprise: "Tinger can also imitate male voices?"

Ji Pingting laughed "hehe" twice, and said, "I just like these weird skills, and I once learned them from a stranger."

Ji Linglan breathed a sigh of relief, and praised: "Ting'er is amazing! From now on, your name is Zhang Ting, you are my younger brother, and I am your elder brother, do you understand?"

Ji Pingting nodded and said, "Understood."

Ji Linglan walked to the back window and looked out. It was already dark outside, and it was cloudy again. Except for the light of the lantern, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Ji Linglan turned to look at Ji Pingting and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you down."

"With my brother here, I'm not afraid."

Ji Linglan checked the time, pushed open the window, hugged Ji Pingting's body, jumped down, and then hid in the shadow without stopping.After they jumped out of the window, the adjacent window opened, and then three more figures jumped out.Ji Linglan hurriedly greeted the three of them and left the inn together.

Under the guidance of Xu Ning, the five went round and round to the door of a house. Xu Ning stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then there was a sound of answering the door.After Xu Ning announced his name, the door was opened, and a man who looked like a servant walked out from inside.

"You are Mr. Xu from the capital?" Although the man asked, his eyes passed Xu Ning and looked behind him, sizing up Ji Linglan and the others.

Xu Ning's cold eyes flickered slightly, and said, "Yes, is Brother Zhu here?"

"My master went out to visit friends and hasn't returned yet." The man hastily opened the door and said with a smile: "Master Xu, please come in. If you have something to do, let's talk about it."

Everyone walked into the gate of the courtyard, and the man closed the gate immediately, saying: "Please, everyone."

Ji Linglan and the others followed the man. He observed the surrounding environment as he walked. This is a courtyard with three entrances. The servants who came and went in the yard stopped when they saw them coming, and bowed to one side.

The man led everyone to the main hall, and said with a smile: "Please sit down, my servants will make tea for the honored guests, please wait."

Xu Ning nodded and said, "Thank you."

Seeing the man turn and leave, Ji Linglan looked at Xu Ning and asked aloud, "Have you been here before?"

Xu Ning replied truthfully, "I came here two years ago."

Ji Linglan then asked: "Do you have any impression of these people?"

Xu Ning shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. Master suspects that Zhu Ling wants to harm me?"

"This time you are traveling with the princess to Fu country. Others may not know it, but the princess must know, and the relationship between Zhu Ling and you will definitely be investigated. If you come to Lin'an City, you can't stay in an inn, so you will come naturally. If you look for him, this place will be under surveillance. You have never seen anyone here, and Zhu Ling happened to be out to visit friends, this is too coincidental." Ji Linglan paused, and said: "And I was in the inn I have seen this person in the teahouse opposite."

Ji Pingting immediately became nervous when she heard this, and said, "Brother, according to what you said, the people here should be staffed by the Crown Princess, so let's leave here quickly."

"Since we entered the door, they have never made a move, which means that they don't want to confront us head-on, and they will definitely make a fuss over the tea. We will pretend to be tricked later, if my guess is wrong, then we will Get them all before you're ready."

In such a situation, not only did Ji Linglan not feel nervous at all, but she was able to respond quickly. It can be seen that she has both wisdom and courage, and the aura of the superior is fully displayed, which has to be impressive.

The three of Xu Ning whispered together, "Yes, my lord."

As soon as the voices of the few people fell, footsteps sounded, they quickly silenced, and looked in the direction of the door.The man came in with a tray, saw several people sitting in the hall, and said with a smile: "The slave has sent someone to inform the master, and he will be back soon. A few distinguished guests have a cup of tea, just wait for a while."

Xu Ning asked casually, "Where did Brother Zhu go to visit friends?"

While pouring tea for everyone, the man replied: "My master has gone to Li Qianhu's house. Today is Li Qianhu's birthday, and the master is going to congratulate him."

"I see." Xu Ning nodded, and said: "I heard from Brother Zhu that there is a young lady in Li Qianhu's family who is beautiful and beautiful. She is in her prime and has not been married yet."

The man's hand paused, and then he said calmly: "My lord may have misremembered, Li Qian's family has only one son, and this year has just reached the age of weak crown."

"That's it, I misremembered it." Xu Ning looked around and said, "Two years from now, the furnishings in this room will still be the same as before. Brother Zhu is really a thrifty person."

"Isn't that right? Master has always been thrifty, and some of the furniture has been used for many years." The man served tea one by one, and said, "Please drink tea, my servant will take someone to clean the guest room."

"It's work."

The man bowed to leave again, but he didn't go far away, but hid in the shadow outside the door, quietly observing the scene in the room.

In the darkness, a figure approached and whispered, "My lord, do you want to inform the people in the inn?"

"No, there is not a man and a woman in the inn among these people, just let them act according to the original plan. The master ordered that they would rather kill by mistake than let them go."

"Yes, my lord!"

The man's eyes were fixed on the five people in the hall, watching them drinking tea and talking and laughing briskly, with mocking smiles in his eyes, he didn't come out of the shadow until he saw them all lying on the table, motionless.And behind him were seven or eight men, each with a weapon in his hand.

Everyone walked into the main hall, the man looked at Ji Linglan and the other five, and ordered indifferently: "Clean it up."

"Yes, my lord."

Ji Linglan lay on the table, clenched the dagger in her hand, and waited nervously for the opponent to approach, but before he could make a move, she heard a scream, and the person approaching him fell to the ground with a 'plop'.Immediately afterwards there was another scream, and the people in the hall fell down one by one, everyone bleeding to death from seven orifices.

The man was shocked, and quickly said: "Quick, exit the main hall!"

The only two remaining people followed the man out of the main hall in a panic. Xu Ning, who was lying on the table just now, suddenly got up, drew out the long sword at his waist, and rushed towards the three of them.Zhang Ye and Lynch also rushed over and fought with the other three.

Ji Linglan sat up, looked at Ji Pingting beside her, and said in surprise, "Tinger, what's going on?"

"When they came in, I released the babies, hehe." Ji Pingting smiled innocently. If she didn't see the corpse lying on the ground, no one would believe it. , Killing the five killers silently.

Seeing Ji Linglan's silence, Ji Pingting said nervously, "Brother, did I do something wrong?"

Ji Linglan came back to her senses, reached out and touched Ji Pingting's head, and said soothingly, "Ting'er did nothing wrong. Facing such a situation, it's a life-or-death situation."

Ji Pingting couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said, "Hey, brother still loves me the most."

Ji Linglan smiled and said, "Put them away, let's go out and have a look."

"Okay." Ji Pingting took out the bottle, took back the five poisons, and went to the yard with Ji Linglan to watch the battle.

In the yard, the six people fought inextricably, but Xu Ning and the others had the upper hand. After a quarter of an hour of stalemate, except for the man who had fought with them, the other two were killed by the sword.

The man was stabbed in the abdomen and was captured by Xu Ning. He looked up at Xu Ning and asked, "How did you know about our plan?"

"Zhu Ling is straightforward and not tactful, so that he has made great military achievements, but he is still just a deputy. He bought such a house with all his savings, and he is not even willing to change the furniture in the house. How can he be willing to support so many people? Servant."

"Commander Xu is worthy of being the Commander of Shadow Guards, Zhang is so convinced!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhou was about to bite off the poison hidden in his teeth, Xu Ning quickly pinched his chin, pulled it down, dislocated his jaw, pulled out the poison in his teeth, and then squeezed his jaw. Return to original position.

Ji Linglan came closer, looked at Zhang Zhou, and asked, "Who are you, and whose orders are you taking?"

Zhang Zhou looked at Ji Linglan and re-examined the very ordinary-looking man in front of him. It must not be ordinary people who can make the commander of the shadow guards respectful.He guessed: "You are the only son of Princess Yaohua who has been lost for many years?"

Ji Linglan smiled noncommittally, and said: "One word reveals my identity. It seems that the Crown Princess has really put in a lot of effort to put me to death."

Zhang Zhou's face changed, apparently he did not expect Ji Linglan to know the true identity of his master.

Seeing Zhang Zhou's reaction, Ji Linglan knew that she had guessed correctly, and then asked, "What did you do to Deputy Zhu Qianhu?"

Zhang Zhou didn't answer and asked instead: "The man and woman in the inn are the bait you set up?"

Ji Linglan didn't answer his plan, turned to look at Xu Ning, and said, "Search him and see if there is anything of value."

Xu Ning took the order, squatted down and searched carefully, took out two tokens from his arms, and handed them to Ji Linglan.

Ji Pingting took a closer look and said, "Brother, this one is the waist badge of Lin An's guards. It is engraved with the word Zhu and the words "Deputy Thousand Households". It should be Zhu Ling's token. The waist card is engraved with the word Zhang and the words of the deputy commander, he should be Zhang Zhou, the deputy commander of the prince's guard."

Zhang Zhou looked at Ji Pingting with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "If you can recognize the waist badge of Xiao Jiwei, this young master's identity must be extraordinary."

Ji Linglan looked at Zhang Zhou, pondered for a moment, and said, "Kill it."

Xu Ning and the others were startled, they never expected Ji Linglan to give such an order.

"Since you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain, you can only kill it." Ji Linglan understood why they had such expressions, and even he couldn't believe that he would give such an order, but the reality is like this, either you die or If I die, he must accept it if he wants to live.

"Yes, son."

Xu Ning responded and drew out his long sword, which cut Zhang Zhou's throat.

Ji Linglan tried her best to ignore the fallen Zhang Zhou, and said calmly: "The people at the inn are empty, and they will definitely come here to meet them. We must leave this place immediately."

"Then where should we go, it's almost curfew time."

"Go back to the inn, how did you come here, how did you go back."

Ji Pingting and the others looked at each other. Although they were worried, they had no other solution. They followed Ji Linglan to the inn quickly. With the help of Xu Ning and the others, they jumped to the second floor and entered the room through the back window. .

Ji Linglan took out a fire pocket, lit a candle, and looked around. The room was fairly tidy, except for the side of the bed, which was a little messy. The bed curtain and bedding were cut by sharp objects, and the cotton wool flew down in front of the bed.Ji Linglan came to the window again, looked at the holes in the window paper and the ashes that fell on the ground, and said: "They also came in through the window, and they wanted to use drugs to stun us before doing anything, but they didn't disturb the inn. People here, we will rest here tonight and leave the city early tomorrow morning."

Ji Pingting asked with some concern: "Brother, will they kill the carbine again?"

"If it were you who escaped from here, would you come back?"

Ji Pingting thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No."

Ji Linglan smiled, and said, "Rest in peace, they won't come back. But just to be on the safe side, we'll stay in the same room."

"Yeah, okay, listen to brother."

"It's late at night, Ting'er go to bed and rest, I'm going to turn off the lights."

Ji Pingting didn't give in, she obediently went to the bed and lay down on it.Ji Linglan came to the table and sat down, and blew out the candle in her hand.

In the dark, Xu Ning looked at Ji Linglan. For the first time, he really wanted to know this person. He was not only calm and wise, but also decisive. He was very similar to Princess Yaohua, a very talented superior.Even Lynch and Zhang Ye looked at Ji Linglan with probing eyes, as if they had just met him.

Although the room was very dark and it was almost impossible to see each other, Ji Linglan could clearly feel their gazes on her body.He didn't care about it, and he didn't intend to pay attention to it. At this time, he missed Fu Nanling to the extreme, and even regretted why he left stubbornly.

Just as Ji Linglan was silently chanting Fu Nanling's name in his heart, a coup d'état was taking place in Fu's palace.

In Yikun Palace, He Mingmei sat in the main hall, calmly looked at Fu Nanping in front of her, and said, "Prince Ping, what do you mean?"

Fu Nanling smiled and said: "Mother, as the saying goes, 'a country cannot live without a ruler for a day', the emperor died, but failed to issue a will. It is inevitable that the court will be in turmoil. It is better to establish a new monarch early."

He Mingmei still looked calm, and said: "Prince Ping has something to say, you might as well say it directly."

"The queen mother really deserves to be the mother of a country. She does things neatly and speaks cleanly and without sloppiness. Since this is the case, the minister simply speaks out. When the father was alive, he had already favored his son as a candidate for the crown prince. It was just a sudden emergency, and he failed to make a will. I ask the empress mother to issue a decree to announce this matter, and support my son as the new king, and you as the queen mother. My son promises that I will be more filial to my mother afterwards, so that my mother can enjoy her life."

"King Ping led people to surround this Yikun Palace. If I don't agree, will I never be able to go out again?" Looking at the sergeant opposite with a knife and gun, He Mingmei still didn't change her face.

"The queen mother is a smart person, and she should know what to do." Fu Nanping said with a determined smile on his face, "Now the entire palace is under my control, and you have no choice."

He Mingmei was silent for a while, and said: "I am tired today, and I will definitely give King Ping a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

Fu Nanping frowned slightly, looked at He Mingmei silently for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will wait for the queen mother's reply. The mother wants to rest, and the son will leave."

Fu Nanping bowed perfunctorily, turned around and walked to the door of the main hall, then stopped and said loudly: "In this special period, in order to ensure the safety of the mother, they are left to guard in the Yikun Palace, and please rest in peace. "

"Then thank you King Ping for your kindness."

As soon as Fu Nanping walked out of Yikun Palace, he ran into Concubine Lan Gui who came in a hurry.He frowned and looked at her, and said: "It's late at night, mother and concubine are not resting in Zelan Palace, what are you doing here?"

An Youlan questioned: "My lord, now that the palace is under our control, why do you still come to this Yikun Palace?"

If you want to say who An Youlan hates the most, it must be He Mingmei.When she was young, she and He Mingmei entered the palace together. Just because the queen mother was He Mingmei's aunt, He Mingmei was named queen, while she was only named Lanfei.The two fought for most of their lives. Although the queen has no heirs, she still sits firmly on the throne of the queen, and she always bows to Mingmei. This is her lifelong obsession.Now that Fu Lianzhao is dead and her son controls the palace and is about to inherit the throne, she finally has a chance to overwhelm He Mingmei and must sit on the throne of queen mother.

Fu Nanping said patiently, "I still need the queen's help to secure the throne."

"What does the emperor mean?" An Youlan frowned, and asked again: "Do you still want her to be the queen mother?"

"Mother, the queen is always the queen, as long as she doesn't make mistakes, no matter who is the emperor, she will be the queen mother."

"No, you are my son, and I will be the queen mother. What is she, He Mingmei?" In front of her son, An Youlan never concealed her true nature.

A sense of irritability rose in Fu Nanping's heart, and he said: "Now that the overall situation is uncertain, can the mother and concubine live in peace and stay in your Zelan Palace?"

An Youlan was stunned, her face flushed red, and she said: "Ping'er, how can you talk to concubine mother like this?"

Fu Nanping completely lost his patience, and said: "Come here, take the imperial concubine back to the palace."

"Ping'er, you..."

Fu Nanping didn't give An Youlan another chance to speak, so he turned around and left with the people.

An Youlan looked at Yikun Palace angrily, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.But as soon as she arrived at the gate of the palace, she was stopped by the guards at the gate.

"My subordinates join the imperial concubine empress. Empress, Your Highness has orders. No one is allowed to enter. Please forgive me, empress."

An Youlan raised her hand and slapped her, and said angrily: "Presumptuous! You can stop me, too? Get out of the way!"

The guard's face was scratched red by Concubine Lan Gui's long nails, and instantly swelled up.He still blocked the door and said: "My Lady, this is His Highness's order, and my subordinates dare not disobey it. I hope that Your Majesty will not make things difficult for my subordinates."

An Youlan's face was distorted with anger, and she said fiercely: "You bastard! You dare to stop me. Believe it or not, I will have someone kill you right now."

"Your Majesty, even if you kill me, this subordinate cannot disobey His Highness's order."

"Come here, pull him down and punish him with a stick five hundred times. I want to watch him be beaten to death." An Youlan's face sank like water, and she would take all the anger from Fu Nanping on this guard.

The nanny next to An Youlan hesitated, and persuaded: "Mother, the overall situation is uncertain now, and it is not easy for us to make troubles. We should go back to Zelan Palace first, and wait for His Highness to ascend the throne, and then discuss everything in the long run."

An Youlan was so angry right now, she couldn't listen to anything at all, so she raised her hand and slapped the old nanny, and said: "You dare to question my orders, it seems that this palace pampers you too much on weekdays."

The old mammy was beaten so dizzy that she quickly fell to her knees and said, "I know I was wrong, and my mother forgives me."

Concubine Lan Gui shouted angrily: "Come here, where are all the dead?"

At this moment, the gate of Yikun Palace was opened, and He Mingmei appeared at the gate.

Concubine Lan Gui was taken aback, and murmured: "He Mingmei?"

"Presumptuous! The empress's name is also your name?"
