Maung-mei is wrong

Xiang Yushu gritted his teeth, suppressed the soreness stuck in his throat, and put on a lazy voice: "Well...he will go too, but...he and brother Xian are going to play sloppy, so as to attract each other's attention, The real messenger is me... Heh, I want to take a path, no one can find me..."

Qin Luoyu suddenly fell silent, flapped his fan again and again, and didn't ask any more questions.

Xiang Yu Shu turned around again, closed his eyes and held her hand: "Luo Yu, lie down with me for a while..."

Qin Luoyu was startled, seeing how clingy he was, couldn't help laughing, and lay in his arms: "Don't you think it's hot?"

"It's not hot...the lady has icy muscles and bones, it's comfortable to hold." Xiang Yu Shu buried his face on her shoulder, "...I really want to leave here with you quickly."

Qin Luoyu was silent for a moment, still shaking the fan in his hand: "Me too."

"Hmm...Really?" Xiang Yu Shu's hand on her waist lightly clenched his fist.

Qin Luoyu kissed the top of his hair suddenly, and whispered: "If I lied to you, will you forgive me?"

Xiang Yushu rubbed her chin with the tip of his nose, and said softly, "How could my lady lie to me..."

"I can't help it... The master redeemed me from the fireworks land, and I agreed to do things for him in return for saving my life." Qin Luoyu's voice was a little choked, "But I really like you. You give me Everything in my life is beyond my reach... If I could start my life again, I wish I could be reborn in an ordinary family and wait for meeting you innocently."

"Fool..." Xiang Yu Shu squinted his eyes halfway, pretending to be still in a daze, and pulled Qin Luoyu's face to touch his own. I don't know whether to comfort Qin Luoyu or mutter to himself, "Being against your will There are reasons for everything, right... The Xianggong will protect you."

"You are my wife, so I naturally want to protect you."

Fortunately, Qin Luoyu also cried, and the tear stains stuck together, making her unable to notice Xiang Yushu's tears for a while.

Just over an hour passed quickly, Xiang Yu Shu was woken up by Qin Luoyu, and the moment he opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of rice.

Qin Luoyu cooked porridge for him, scrambled a plate of eggs, did not know how much sesame oil was added, the aroma of the eggs and the aroma of the oil made the index finger twitch, rolled it with pancakes, and Xiang Yu Shu devoured several of them, He choked again and drank the cold porridge.

Maybe he felt that after what happened today, both he and Qin Luoyu could be freed, so when Xiang Yushu woke up, he felt that the haze in his heart was swept away. Looking at the refreshingness that I haven't seen for a long time.

After tidying up, there was no signal to meet up outside, so Xiang Yu Shu felt a little restless, pacing back and forth in the room, seeing the papers he practiced calligraphy on the side of the desk, which were neatly collected by Qin Luoyu, stacked At the desk, I walked over and took a blank sheet, brushed the ink a few times, took out a pen and started writing.

Qin Luoyu washed the rice bowl, returned to the house, and saw that Xiang Yushu had sealed a letter and pressed it under several books.

She could have pretended she didn't see it, but she felt palpitated for no reason, and asked, "Master, you... what did you write just now?"

Xiang Yu Shu looked back at her, smiled: "It's nothing."

"Don't scare me." Qin Luoyu grabbed his hand and said relentlessly, "I've seen it all."

"It's not for you, so don't ask." Xiang Yu Shu pretended to be strict, "Don't peek."

Qin Luoyu glanced at the desk, and asked anxiously: "It's not for me, who is it for?"

"Give it to Brother Han, don't worry, just explain something, it's not a big deal." Xiang Yu Shu pinched her cheek, "Don't think about it."

Originally, he didn't intend to leave any letters, but he was afraid that going there would be dangerous. In case he... then he should leave some words for Nie Yunhan, so as to take care of his own affairs.

Qin Luoyu's eyes were red: "Can I stop thinking wildly? Is it dangerous for you to go this time? Or...or don't go, let's go now!"

"Silly girl, didn't I run away? You are willing to have a husband who is greedy for life and afraid of death, huh?"

"I don't care about greed for life and fear of death, so what if I sacrifice my life for righteousness, my life is gone! I only want you to live well!"

Xiang Yu Shu rubbed her hair, and coaxed her in a nice voice: "This is our rule, it doesn't mean that this operation is dangerous. Just stay at home and wait for me to come back, ah!"

Qin Luoyu sobbed: "How can there be such an unlucky rule?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a whistle outside, Xiang Yu Shu fastened the Baichuan belt, took the saber from the wall, and smiled at Qin Luoyu: "I'm leaving, Luo Yu, don't think too much, everything will be fine of."

Qin Luoyu quickly ran over and hugged him from behind: "Sir..."

"Okay, okay, don't make it look like parting from life and death, it's not auspicious." Xiang Yu Shu pushed Qin Luoyu's hand away, turned around and kissed the corner of her lips, and opened the door with a smile to go out.

The person who came to pick him up was still Zuo Hengqiu in Li San's costume, Xiang Yushu left with him, turned a corner but stopped, with his back turned to the direction of the small courtyard, so as not to be seen by the yamen servant on the roof of his house to look.

Zuo Hengqiu asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there any discomfort?"

Xiang Yushu shook his head: "Brother Zuo, wait a minute."

"How long will it take?" Zuo Hengqiu said, "Today's affairs should not be delayed."

Xiang Yu Shu bit his lip, hesitated for a moment and said: "Forget it, let's go."

He followed Zuo Hengqiu to leave quickly, and walked along the criss-cross alleys for a while, throwing away the eyeliner following behind him, but he couldn't hear the sound of the pipa coming from his small courtyard.

The yamen guards outside the yard still felt strange and whispered to each other.

"Why does Xiang's wife play the pipa early in the morning?"

"That's right, Mr. Xiang just left the house, and he's so restless."

"Don't say that, people are not like this kind of person."

"Hmph, you know a lot, don't you know what it means to know people, face, but not heart?"

Returning to Liang Mansion Yamen, Song Mingchong was dressed in casual clothes, and sat on a chair in the main hall, closing his eyes and concentrating on it. Next to him was the grey-haired Zhifu Zhang.

Zhang Zhifu is well versed in the way of officialdom, so naturally he has to fully cooperate with Song Mingchong in arresting the wanted criminals, so recently he has transferred all the power to Song Mingchong, and ordered everyone in the entire government office to be dispatched by Commander Song, so he is happy to be free.

Song Mingchong didn't have to force him to hang around every day, the two of them knew each other very well.

I heard that today the commanding envoy will set up a net to arrest people, the magistrate didn't want to be an eyesore, but he didn't expect that the other party changed his behavior a few days ago and sent someone to invite him early in the morning to sit face to face in this hall.

No matter what the scheduling arrangement is, Song Mingchong will ask Zhang Zhifu, and only after getting his approval, will he arrange someone to do it.

Zhang Zhifu naturally did not dare to disobey Song Mingchong's intentions, and he also knew that the Commander actually wanted to share the responsibility, lest in the future the court would ask about today's affairs and ask him about Song Mingchong's crime of overreaching.

If the county magistrate of Wenzhou thousands of miles away had a telepathic connection with Zhang Zhifu, the two old men might "hold their hands and look at their tearful eyes, choking speechlessly."

Face to face with Song Mingchong was too stressful, coupled with the hot weather these past few days, making Zhang Zhifu oppressed, wrapped in a thick official uniform, for fear that he would accidentally faint from heatstroke and make fun of him in front of the Shangguan.

"Report—" The messenger ran in yelling, knelt down on one knee in front of Song Mingchong, and cupped his hands to report, "Report to Commander, the spies have received clues. The people who delivered the secret letter this time are Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian, Xiang Yu Shu and Zuo Hengqiu cooperated in countermeasures, pretending to send messages, intending to disrupt our hunting plan."

Song Mingchong lightly tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said to himself: "Xiang Yushu is the pawn they reserved, and it should be activated at this time... It is their usual practice to pretend to send messages to disrupt my plan. It is of great significance to pass on the news, and Nie Yunhan will definitely not feel at ease to do it to Yu Shu, a young man, and I guess... he should also want to see the teacher. Master Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhifu, who was dripping with sweat, was called out suddenly, trembling inexplicably, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "Your subordinates, you don't understand military affairs, and it's up to you to command and make decisions."

"Master Zhang is modest." Song Ming smiled, turned his head and said to the messenger: "Go on, keep an eye on Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian, and never let them out of the city! As for Xiang Yushu and Zuo Hengqiu, If you find two people at the city gate, you can pretend to let them go, so as not to startle them, send people to follow along the road, and capture them after leaving the city!"

"Order!"

After the orderly saluted, he immediately got up and ran to the door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the door, Song Ming suddenly said: "Wait! Come back!"

"What else do you want to order?" The orderly turned around quickly.

Song Mingchong frowned slightly, and murmured: "I remember Xiang Yushu and Qin Luoyu's daily report said that there is a deep affection between the two?"

The messenger said: "My lord, according to the report of the yamen who guarded the small courtyard, it is true. The two of them are like glue, like paint, and they love each other deeply. It doesn't seem to be a fake."

"Xiang Yushu is young and energetic. Although he is a red boa reserve army, he is not experienced enough after all. He must have fallen for this beauty trick and truly believed in Qin Luoyu, otherwise he would not be able to show his feet." Song Mingchong stood up and paced back and forth, " And that Qin Luoyu was just a woman who was redeemed from a brothel, not a trained spy, if she really fell in love with Xiang Yushu, wouldn't the information she provided be more credible? discount?"

The messenger looked at Song Mingchong, thought for a while and said: "I heard that she really has a deep-rooted love for Xiang Yu Shu. When Xiang Yu Shu is not around, she often waits in a daze in the courtyard. When Xiang Yu Shu comes back, she cheers for joy. Want to come here?" Whether it is really affectionate or not, you can’t pretend or hide it.”

After hearing this, Song Mingchong nodded slowly, then looked at Zhang Zhifu again: "Master Zhang, I'm a little confused."

Zhang Zhifu hurriedly said: "Commander, please speak."

"Now I have two doubts. The first possibility is that the information is true. Nie Yunhan will definitely not believe Qin Luoyu, so he will not arrange to send a letter to Yu Shu. We should focus on Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian."

"Secondly, although Nie Yunhan doesn't believe in Qin Luoyu, he believes that Xiang Yushu will keep his mouth shut, and he also knows that he is being watched closely, so he planned to send a letter to Yushu by surprise. Qin Luoyu will use drugs to talk. However, Qin Luoyu was attracted to Xiang Yushu, worried that he would be encircled and suppressed, so he made a false report, reversed the facts, and turned against him at the most critical moment. So we have to focus on guarding , it should be Xiang Yushu." Song Mingchong looked at Zhang Zhifu sincerely, "Master Zhang, which one do you think is more likely?"

Zhang Zhifu was very embarrassed.

He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, thinking that just now Song Mingchong asked about Xiang Yushu and Qin Luoyu's husband and wife situation, guessing what the other party was thinking.

After a while, he made up his mind and looked up at Song Mingchong: "As a red boa, Nie Yunhan is the most scheming, and he is more likely to choose to surprise. And if Qin Luoyu is really in love, naturally He will only think about protecting his sweetheart, and will not hesitate to tamper with the information."

Song Mingchong stretched his eyebrows, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that the prefect thinks the same as I do. It's really a hero who sees the same thing."

Prefect Zhang cupped his hands again and again: "The Commander is overwhelmed."

"If this is the case, Nie Yunhan will definitely protect Xiang Yushu in secret to ensure that he can leave Guiliangfu City smoothly. At the critical moment, he will not hesitate to risk his life to attract the attention of officers and soldiers..." Song Mingchong put away his smile and said to the messenger Bing said, "Pass down the order and keep an eye on the gates of the various cities. If you see someone suspected of Xiang Yu Shu and Zuo Hengqiu leaving the city, if necessary, you can make things difficult and lure Nie Yunhan and others to show up, then you can pretend to release Xiang Yu Shu." The two left, sent people to follow along the way, and took it down in one fell swoop when he relaxed his vigilance!"

The messenger cupped his hands and said loudly, "Decree!"

When watching the messengers leave, Song Mingchong was still wondering in his heart: "But... Who is Lingchi? How many of them have come? How will Nie Yunhan use him?"

---

Xiang Yushu and Zuo Hengqiu rushed to the meeting place, and saw Ling Qingbi, who was too easy, waiting in a dead-end alley.

He wore a robe of scribes, dressed like a master in the yamen, and his face was very ordinary, it was hard to leave any impression after seeing it.

It's just that when he saw Xiang Yushu, the man smiled, and then blew a hooligan whistle, and suddenly lost his image: "Brother, you look good today."

Xiang Yu Shu nodded to greet him, then asked curiously: "Dressed up like this, are we going to go through the city gate?"

"The gates of the city are closely guarded. Song Mingchong will definitely feel that you are going to go elsewhere, so we did the opposite. Both you and Brother Ling pretended to be scholars, and Ah Xian made two guides, which were all in the bag. It's not real." Zuo Hengqiu pulled him to the wall, took out a small bag from his arms, "Stand still, I'll make it easy for you."

Not long after, two scholars came out from the entrance of the alley.

Ling Qingbi is tall and tall, not weak, so he dresses up like a senior, and looks about 40 years old.Although Xiang Yushu is tall, he has the unique thinness of a young man. Zuo Hengqiu picked out a large burqa for him, which can make him look thinner, and also painted him with a yellow and emaciated face, like a man who can fall down when the wind blows. sick seedlings.

Both of them carried a small burden on their backs and walked slowly on the road.

Kong Tan and others were stationed on the boat in Yangbo Port, so they also went out from the south gate of the city, intending to meet outside the city gate, and then turned around and took a path to Songchang Mansion where Han Fang was located.

The gates of the city were indeed heavily guarded. The soldiers guarding the city divided the people passing through the gate into two teams, one with carriages and horses, and one on foot. They were inspected one by one, which was a waste of time. long line.

The weather was hot, and the people who lined up all complained and wiped their sweat.

Ling Qingbi stood side by side with Xiang Yushu, their backs were soaked, both of them had makeup on their faces, they could only bear it for fear of wiping it off, but fortunately Zuo Hengqiu's disguised yellow mud was not afraid of water, and the sweat soaked it However, there were no traces left.

Seeing Ling Qingbi glance at the carriage team from the corner of his eyes, Xiang Yushu asked softly, "Brother Hirano's team hasn't been found yet, has it?"

"Well, maybe I left the city early." Ling Qingbi sighed, "Last night, after searching all night, Song Mingchong arranged people everywhere, and we couldn't do our best, and the search was not thorough."

Xiang Yushu said: "It doesn't matter, the jurisdiction of Songchang Mansion is on the only way to the capital, send the information to Uncle Han earlier, ask him to send someone to set up a checkpoint, it will always be stopped."

"Lao Nie said the same thing, I can only hope so." Ling Qingbi said.

Fanning the cool wind with one hand, Xiang Yu Shu asked with interest: "What else did Brother Han say?"

"He said that although Song Mingchong and the crown prince supported him behind the scenes, they definitely didn't want to be implicated in this matter. Therefore, if they felt that the situation was not good for them, they would not protect Guan Pingye too much, and would only treat them as abandoned sons. This is We have an opportunity, as long as we catch up with Guan Pingye and Haqin's convoy as soon as possible, everything will be solved."

Xiang Yushu was stunned: "Is the prince involved in this matter?"

Ling Qingbi glanced at him and smiled: "It seems that you don't know many things, and they didn't tell you?"

Xiang Yushu naturally knew why, pursed his lips, and whispered: "I was staying under Song Mingchong's nose, they didn't tell me for the sake of prudence."

"That's true." Ling Qingbi nodded.

While the two of them were talking, they saw a man who looked like a government soldier rushing to the gate of the city, and whispered a few words to one of the yamen servants. The yamen servant nodded solemnly, and the government soldiers left in a hurry .

Ling Qingbi rolled his eyes, and a trace of worry flashed across his plain face.

The subsequent inspections were indeed more stringent. They saw that several tall young men were stopped in one place, but they were not arrested.

Not long after, Ling Qingbi and Xiang Yushu lined up in front of the guards of the city. They opened all the packages on their bodies for inspection as required, and handed over the Lu Yindocument respectfully, and accepted the body search very cooperatively.

One of the yamen servants looked at Lu Yinzai carefully and back and forth several times, and looked back and forth at Xiang Yu Shu and Ling Qingbi with probing eyes, but he finally refused to let him go, pointing to the side: "Go and stand .”

Ling Qingbi saw that this was to let them stay with those people who were stopped for no reason, suddenly felt something bad, and asked with a smile: "Guan Ye, what's wrong with this?"

"I can't see anything wrong, but it just doesn't feel right." The yamen servant said, and secretly gave the colleague next to him a look.

Hearing these unreasonable words, Xiang Yu Shu couldn't hold back anymore, and was about to push up, but was stopped by Ling Qingbi.

Ling Qingbi continued to respectfully say: "My son and I are both scholars, and my mother is critically ill. Now I am rushing back to visit her, I am afraid that I will not be able to see her for the last time, so I ask the officials to hold us up and let us go."

Seeing the delay and the team still not moving forward, the people with good things behind shouted unhappily: "What's going on in front?! Why can't we stay still for a long time? We're still in a hurry to get out of the city!"

"That's right! Queuing here on a hot day, my children are almost suffering from heat stroke!"

"Can you stand aside if you are suspicious? Let the ones behind pass first!"

The yamen servant stopped Ling Qingbi and Xiang Yushu aside with a knife: "Wait a minute, the ones behind will go forward, come and come, unpack the burden, take out Lu Yin!"

Ling Qingbi was anxious, and reasoned with him: "I said, Lord, what's going on? Our guide is here, why don't you let it go? You can explain it to me!"

The guards of the city government ignored him and continued to check other people's guides and burdens.

"Father, they are too unreasonable!"

Xiang Yushu was helping out, thinking in his heart hurriedly—could it be that there is something wrong?

Ling Qingbi continued to mess around: "I said, sir, are you bullying us scholars? Why don't you detain others but detain us instead? The elderly at home are still waiting. If the hour is delayed, can you afford it?"

Another yamen servant stabbed Ling Qingbi in the chest with a scabbard, and said indifferently: "Why are you calling? Are you waiting obediently without looking at others? I see that you speak with confidence, how can you look like a scholar? Don't pretend to be? "

"You are biased! Who said that scholars have to be weak? You have to know the six arts of a gentleman, rites and music, and the number of books!" Ling Qingbi also knows that waiting obediently will not arouse suspicion, but they don't have the time to pretend here Shunmin couldn't help feeling more and more annoyed.

Xiang Yu Shu was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he tugged Ling Qingbi's sleeve, and whispered: "Father, stop arguing..."

"What's the noise?!"

Several people turned their heads at the same time, and saw Li San, disguised by Zuo Hengqiu, walking towards them with a knife in his arms.

Ling Qingbi got even more excited: "Big brother, you can comment! We have road citation documents here, and they can't give a valid reason, why don't they let us go out of the city?!"

One of the yamen servants was not happy after hearing this: "The order from the superior is to be strictly investigated. What if the suspect is released?!"

"Take chicken feathers as arrows!" Zuo Hengqiu said coldly, then leaned into the yamen servant's ear and whispered, "Don't waste time, the wanted criminal just appeared on Yuanke Avenue, quickly bring a few people with me Go to support!"

As soon as the yamen servant heard this, he carried out the order from above, and hurriedly said to his colleagues next to him: "You guys, go with Brother Li."

Then he threw Lu Yin and the package into Ling Qingbi's arms: "Get lost! Let the others pass too!"

Ling Qingbi and Xiang Yu Shu hurriedly bowed to the officers and soldiers and Zuo Hengqiu with their things in their arms, and hurriedly passed the city gate.

Zuo Hengqiu hurried forward along the main road with a few yamen servants, thinking to himself: "Would it be too hasty if I acted so suddenly? It was too obvious just now, these people are very familiar with Li San Why? Why did you follow me so obediently? What reason will you use to dismiss them later?"

Just as his mind was spinning rapidly, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The passers-by on the road disappeared at some point, and when he turned around, he saw the servants behind him stop, with their hands on the handle of their knives. looked at him unkindly.

Then there was the sound of footsteps again, Zuo Hengqiu followed the sound, and saw that it was the soldiers from Tangzhou Mansion brought by Song Mingchong, together with a few yamen servants, more than a dozen people had surrounded him.

He immediately understood that everything just now was just a trap, no wonder these people followed him so readily, in this way, Xiang Yu Shu and Ling Qingbi might have been seen through!

Zuo Hengqiu pulled out his saber with a "swish" and said to one of the soldiers: "Since you have recognized me, why don't you discuss it, I don't want to hurt you."

The mansion soldier snorted: "It's true that you red boas are capable, but I don't believe that one of them can defeat more than ten of us!"

"One is not enough for him, so is it enough for us?!"

Nie Yunhan's voice came from the air, followed by the sound of his clothes flapping, he, Zhuo Yingxian and Yun Xuzi jumped to the side of Zuo Hengqiu, the four of them back to back, looking arrogantly at the servants and servants around them. Fu Bing.

Zuo Hengqiu said in a low voice: "Old Nie, we have been tricked, they deliberately lured us out, Yu Shu should have revealed their secrets."

Zhuo Yingxian held Fuxue tightly, and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, as long as Yu Shu and the others go out, someone will meet them."

Yun Xuzi stroked his beard: "I still can't see these kittens!"

"Today we don't hide anymore. Not only do we want to rescue Master Dai and Sister Feng, but we also want to make a big fuss. Let's see if Song Mingchong can stop me!"

Nie Yunhan pulled out his shadow, moved his wrist and turned the knife a few times, then suppressed his smile, and shouted: "Go!"
