The store clerk was nimble, and it didn't take long before he brought the hot water and meals with trepidation.

The two of them washed their faces as if they were in a battle, and finally calmed down, and sat at the dining table to have dinner peacefully.

In the second half of the night.

There were two crows of jackdaws outside the window, which seemed very abrupt in the silent night.

Xiao Lingfeng, who was leaning on the low couch, suddenly opened his eyes, and glanced sharply out of the window.

Two more beeps.

Xiao Lingfeng got up and walked to the window in two steps.

Zhuang Qingyue was startled awake by his movement, and she turned over and sat up at that moment, before she had time to think, a black face scarf was thrown into her arms.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Xiao Lingfeng's eyes.Zhuang Qingyue nodded, tied her face towel casually, and after arranging the night clothes she had changed long ago, she came to Xiao Lingfeng's side lightly.

The window latch was pulled out, and the cold wind poured in through the wide open window in an instant, and went straight into the collar of the man's coat.

Being blown head-on by the cold wind like this, Xiao Lingfeng frowned silently, and turned to glance at Zhuang Qingyue.

Unexpectedly, the man shivered from the cold wind without any precaution, but he just put his arms together, without any expression of resistance on his face.

He was very different from the usual squeamish young man.

Xiao Lingfeng hooked the corners of his lips, and immediately jumped up from the window sill, tapped his toes twice, and then landed firmly on another roof a few steps away.

A tall man with a height of more than eight feet, but the lightness kung fu he used was as smooth as stepping on the snow, and even when he landed on the roof, there was not even the slightest sound of the tiles.

After standing firmly on the roof, Xiao Lingfeng took advantage of the darkness to hide his figure, and when he looked back, he saw Zhuang Qingyue was looking at him in front of the window, lost in thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Follow." He reminded in a low voice.

Zhuang Qingyue immediately came back to her senses when she heard the words, followed his steps and flipped out lightly and deftly, landing in front of him.

When Xiao Lingfeng came out through the window earlier, Zhuang Qingyue was watching his movement in secret, so he was fascinated.Now it's his turn, why doesn't Xiao Lingfeng think the same?

After seeing Zhuang Qingyue's posture, Xiao Lingfeng's eyes lit up, and his eyes couldn't help showing admiration.

After carefully identifying the direction, the two of them got up and stepped on the roofs without making a sound, heading towards the southeast of Yanhui Town.

Because of the canal passing by, Yanhui Town has become a large distribution town on the upper section of the canal over time. The southeastern pier often has ships loading and unloading goods, day and night.

Therefore, although there is a curfew in the town, the southeast pier is licensed to be active at night without the curfew.

The two approached the southeast pier, and gradually, they could hear the noisy voices from the pier.Therefore, the closer they got to the southeast pier, the more careful their movements became.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingfeng stopped, raised his hand and stopped Zhuang Qingyue behind him.

"Shhh." He raised his finger and stroked his lips to signal Zhuang Qingyue to keep quiet, then listened with his ears sideways.

After two breaths, he made a gesture and led Zhuang Qingyue to jump off the roof and turn into the shadow of the corner.

After turning in, it is a dead-end alley that no one will pass by easily.Ding Yue, whom he had met earlier, was waiting here with three soldiers dressed as boatmen on the dock.

Ding Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Lingfeng who came quickly.Just as he was about to seize the time to go forward and report, when he lost his gaze, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the military adviser Zhuang Qingyue behind his prince.

Ding Yue couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

Originally thought that a military adviser could not carry his hands on his shoulders, so he should wait for the news in the inn at this moment, but he did not expect that he would come here with the prince.

Secretly looking at the general division, he saw that the military division was breathing steadily and without panting, not at all calm as if he had just crossed half of the wild goose back to town.

Xiao Lingfeng waited and saw that Ding Yue didn't know which muscle was wrong, he just stared at Zhuang Qingyue for a long time without speaking, so he fixed his gaze on him, and asked in a deep voice:

"What's the situation? Just say it."

His eyes fell on Ding Yue's body as if it were real. Ding Yue suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly lowered his head and reported to Xiao Lingfeng what he saw and heard in the middle of the night.

"After the subordinates and others investigated according to the instructions of the military division, they found a few tricks."

He glanced at Zhuang Qingyue, "The three places pointed out by the military adviser are a grain store, a winery, and a cloth store. These three businesses seem to have their own owners and have nothing to do with each other, but secretly connect."

He took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Xiao Lingfeng: "These three shops have secret passages, and the places where the secret passages are located have been checked and marked by the subordinates and others."

Xiao Lingfeng took the cloth and asked casually, "Have you gone in?"

Ding Yue clasped his fists: "I would like to follow the prince's order, except to confirm the location of the secret passage, I never went inside."

Xiao Lingfeng nodded, casually handed the cloth in his hand to Zhuang Qingyue, and asked him inquiringly, "What do you think?"

Looking at the cloth that was suddenly stuffed into her hand, Zhuang Qingyue murmured softly, "Don't you know how to read it?"

Having said that, under Xiao Lingfeng's gaze, he still carefully compared the location of the secret passage marked above with the memory in his mind.Soon, he discovered that the location of the winery above was wrong.

Perhaps, the secret passage under the winery has already been rearranged by them.After thinking for a moment, he met Xiao Lingfeng's gaze, and told Xiao Lingfeng the deviation of this secret path very calmly.

Looking at the cloth again with Zhuang Qingyue's hand, Xiao Lingfeng smiled: "The changes you can see may not be what they want you to see on purpose."

This gentleman has already become suspicious of Zhuang Qingyue. Now that he has started to avoid Zhuang Qingyue from using the buried chess pieces, it is not impossible to change the arrangement of the secret passage.

But this winery is too obvious to move.

Xiao Lingfeng crossed his arms: "Tell me, according to what they know about you, the strangeness of this winery is in front of you. Are you going or not?"

"Where is the prince? Knowing that there is a fraud, what choice will you make?" Zhuang Qingyue smiled and threw the question back to him.

There was a short laugh in his ear.

Ding Yue on the side immediately became vigilant.

Sure enough, Xiao Lingfeng tightened his mask again, and when he spoke again, there was an imperceptible ruthlessness in his voice: "If you dare to make trouble in our northwest, I will naturally meet you."

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you still prefer to go to the mountains?" Zhuang Qingyue turned her head to look at him.

Xiao Lingfeng snorted lightly: "This king has always been like this."

"My lord." Ding Yue couldn't help but uttered his words, but Xiao Lingfeng waved him back before he could dissuade him.

"Ding Yue." Xiao Lingfeng looked at him with a serious tone: "Just in case, you take people to the other two secret passages to investigate. Remember, if there is a trap that even you can't resist, you should immediately withdraw, and you can't go deeper gone."

Ding Yue cupped his fists: "This subordinate takes orders."

Now that the task has been assigned, it has to be carried out.Ding Yue took the order to leave, and brought those soldiers who looked like boatmen back into the crowd at the pier, ready to wait for an opportunity.

The subordinates left, and it was time for them to act.

Xiao Lingfeng raised his chin and nodded in the direction of the winery: "Let's go?"

"Walk."

The two shuttled back and forth in the dark alley, gradually approaching the winery under the cover of night.

The winery seemed to be doing a great deal of business. At this moment, the side door was wide open, and the rich aroma of wine overflowed, spreading in all directions along the night wind.

The village is brightly lit, and the handymen who come and go are transporting cylinders of northwestern specialty spirits out, and pile them on the horse-drawn carriages lined up outside the winery. When the carriage is full, someone will drive away. It appears to be heading towards the pier.

In addition to carrying the big wine jars out, there are other handyman boatmen who are carrying grain to the winery one after another for wine making.

"Hiss." Looking at the sack after sack of grain being moved in, Xiao Xiaolingfeng rubbed his brows: "So much, are they really used to make wine?"

When he said this, someone happened to glance over here.Zhuang Qingyue quickly grabbed Xiao Lingfeng's sleeves to avoid it, and then whispered: "It's hard to say, I have to go and see."

The man didn't seem to notice the abnormality here, and quickly turned his gaze.Taking advantage of the fact that everyone in the winery was carrying goods in full swing, and no one noticed this side, the two found a remote corner and turned into the backyard of the winery.

The two avoided the crowd, followed the simple but accurate map given by Ding Yue, and found the entrance to the secret passage in an unused wine cellar in the backyard without much effort.

As if waiting for them on purpose, the wine cellar was deserted, and there were not even half of guards around.

The wine cellar is very large, Xiao Lingfeng carefully passed the stacked abandoned wine tanks, and came to the depths of the wine cellar.

A stone gate stood there.

Xiao Lingfeng looked around, and after marking the place where the hidden weapon was most likely to be placed in his mind, he found the safest and most dead-end place to stand still.

Afterwards, he beckoned to Zhuang Qingyue: "Hide away."

When someone stood beside him, Xiao Lingfeng raised his hand, and a stone that he had touched out from nowhere was out of his hand, and with his vigor, he attacked the round stone embedded in the stone door that seemed to be a door-opening mechanism. superior.

The stones hit each other, but because of Xiao Lingfeng's inner strength, there was only a heavy muffled sound in the empty wine cellar.

A moment later, with a soft "click", the movement of the machine came through the wall.

"Boom—"

The heavy stone door opened in response.
