The night was sinking like water, and the only sound on the street was the uniform footsteps of the patrol team and the sound of the armor rubbing against each other. Song Jingchen took the five guards carefully to avoid the patrol and stopped at the back door of a mansion named Xihua Pavilion.

Knocked on the courtyard door, and after a while, the door opened a crack from the inside, a woman with heavy makeup stuck her head out, and saw six men in black standing outside the door, her face changed: "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Jingchen took out a token the size of a palm.

The moment she saw the token, the fear on the woman's face immediately turned to respect, and she hurriedly turned sideways to let Song Jingchen and the others in.

Although the three countries have maintained peace before, no one is a fool. Naturally, spies will be placed among the countries and a so-called intelligence system will be established.

Such as Xihua Pavilion, on the surface is a fireworks place, but all the information in the capital city is ultimately sent back to Daxia by the merchants who come and go.

However, due to the recent unrest outside, Xihua Pavilion has no guests now, only the girls in the building have nothing to do and gather in the lobby to entertain themselves.

Seeing six unfamiliar men coming in, the girls were silent for a moment, and they were about to go up to them. The woman who led the way waved them back and took Song Jingchen and the others to the third floor.

When she walked to the last door, she blessed her body: "Wait a moment." After speaking, she raised her plain hand and knocked on the door: "Auntie, someone is coming over there."

The voice fell, the door creaked open, and a tall, beautiful-looking woman came out, the woman didn't look at anyone else, her eyes swept up and down on Song Jingchen for a moment, her eyes lit up and rushed up: "Brother Chen, I I guessed you would come."

A simple sentence came out of his mouth like a hook, which made people's bones brittle.

Song Jingchen twitched the corners of his mouth, and unkindly pulled a guard beside him to block him.

The woman was startled, and it was too late to stop the car. She slammed directly into the arms of the sphinx, and the pain of knocking her forehead against his mask caused him to take a deep breath.

He wasn't angry either, instead he smacked the spear guard twice on the chest like a spoiled child: "Oh, I hate it, you hurt me~"

Sphinx: Who am I? where am I?

Song Jingchen raised his forehead: "Rong Qi, I'm here today for business."

"You lied to the slave family here for so long, and finally came here to find the slave family. Why are you so serious?" Rong Qi gave him an angry look and pretended to be angry: "I really don't understand the style..."

Speaking of this, he paused, thinking of something and pursed his lips and chuckled: "The slave family heard that you are married, oh, with your temperament, that little girl has to be treated coldly, or let the slave family save her and the water and fire. Bar."

Song Jingchen frowned and said coldly, "My lady is fine, I don't need you to worry about it... Also, talk well."

Surprise flashed across Rong Qi's face, and he thought that a person like Song Jingchen would not care about any woman.

He put away the teasing, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I'll make a joke with you. I understand the truth that a friend's wife should not be deceived."

At this opening, the spooky guard, who had been teased to the point where his face was red, froze...

Rong Qi raised his eyebrows: "My little brother seems very disappointed that I am a man, but if you don't mind, I can also be a man..."

Song Jingchen's face was black: "Rong Qi!"

"Okay, I won't say it." He raised his hand in surrender.

Few people know that the owner of Xihua Pavilion, who can hook people into three ways with just one mouth, is not only a man, but also a flower-picking thief who has been in the rivers and lakes for a while, Xihua.

It's a pity that he met Song Jingchen before he became famous, and he coaxed him to lose the bet and became Daxia's spy in Wu State.

Every time he thinks of this incident, Rong Qi still regrets it. What he cherishes is women's flowers, why can't he figure out who Song Jingchen knows more flowers than?

Rong Qi has serious doubts now... No, it's the conclusion and affirmation that the rumor that Chang'an has a beautiful beauty in the country was released by Song Jingchen, otherwise he ran all the way to Chang'an, and the beauty didn't see it, how could he meet this beauty? Black-hearted goods? He also coaxed him to be free for ten years.

Thinking of this, Rong Qi glanced at Song Jingchen resentfully, blaming the boy's deceptive appearance, leaving him unguarded at all.

I will never admit that I am too easy to deceive when I first appeared in the arena.

Song Jingchen ignored his gaze, bypassed him and entered the room directly.

Rong Qi pouted, waved his hand to signal the woman who was leading the way to step back, and gave the spooky guard a wink.

The spooky guard, who killed without blinking an eye, was so frightened that he rushed up the beam of the house.

Rong Qi: ? ? ?

He turned his head to look at the other people, and after a few more whizzes, the remaining few guards also disappeared in place in an instant, as if he were some kind of beast.

Rong Qi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud after reacting, turned around and followed Song Jingchen: "Where did you find these people, it's so funny."

fun? Song Jingchen nodded: "I have a chance to let them play with you another day."

I haven't seen each other for many years, how could this kid become so kind?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Rong Qi is not the little hairy he used to be. He waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, I still prefer the girls in our building."

Song Jingchen didn't fight, and reached out to him.

Rong Qi's exaggerated arms crossed his shoulders, took a step back, and made an expression that he would rather die than give up: "You, what do you want to do? Although I dress like this, I'm a pure man, so... even if you look good, it won't work. ."

Song Jingchen's brows twitched fiercely. He was no longer able to complain about his behavior of adding drama to himself from time to time. He said straight to the point: "What about things? Since you guessed that I will come, you should be prepared, right?"

"It's really boring." Rong Qi muttered, turned around and took out an envelope from the grid on the dresser and handed it to him: "The time is limited, and the palace is now heavily guarded, so our people can't find much."

Song Jingchen opened the envelope, which contained a map of the Wu Kingdom's palace, which also explained the situation of each palace and marked where Song Li might be locked up.

"Shangguan Yu has always been cautious in doing things, and important hostages must be placed under his own eyes to feel at ease."

Speaking of serious business, Rong Qi rarely became serious: "Are you going to sneak in to save people?"

Song Jingchen didn't say anything, just looked up at him and asked his opinion with his eyes.

"The current palace is not so easy to break into." Rong Qi sat down opposite him, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Song Jingchen: "The queen mother is now the biggest bargaining chip for Wu, how could they save you. Opportunity? I think it's better to wait for her to come out rather than risk being besieged in the palace to find someone everywhere..."

Song Jingchen motioned for him to continue.

"Won't Shangguan Yu take the queen mother out of the city for Yan Guangmao in three days?" Rong Qi said seriously: "The distance from the palace to the city gate is the best time to save people."

Song Jingchen nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable..."

...

"Your Majesty, the spies sent back the news that the army outside the city is already retreating, and there are only less than 10,000 people in the camp." Lian Shan replied: "And the people from Tianji Valley have been successfully sent out of the city."

The man in the water pavilion said quietly, "Song Jingchen retreated quite simply."

I didn't ask the people in Tianji Valley.

Lian Shan looked up at him cautiously: "Then can we take this opportunity to take them..."

Shangguan Yu said solemnly, "The foster father is still in their hands."

Lian Shan didn't expect that his master was still thinking of taking the risk to rescue Yan Guangmao, so he couldn't help but say, "General Yan..."

"Lianshan." Shangguan Yu looked at the boundless night: "Why don't you think Song Jingchen told me the so-called truth through Lord Xu's mouth? Even if I don't believe it, it can at least leave a seed of doubt in my heart."

Lianshan is puzzled.

Shangguan Yu raised the wine jar, raised his head and took a sip, and hooked the corners of his lips mockingly: "Because he knows that there is no turning back for me."

The many wrongs he has committed in the past are a foregone conclusion, and nothing will change because he knows the truth or apologizes. For example, although the accident of the Song family was done by the adoptive father, he was an insider or even an accomplice. He has no way to go back.

What's more, the two countries have been at war for several months, sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers, Song Jingchen will not give up attacking Wu just because he released Song Li.

This battle is no longer as simple as a personal grievance.

Since we are going to fight after all, why do we mix those truths that have no meaning?

"But we can ignore Yan..."

"I said, he is my adoptive father."

Even if he took advantage of himself, the revenge had to be avenged by himself.

Of course, if given the chance.

Without waiting for Lian Shan to continue to persuade, Shangguan Yu said coldly: "Song Jingchen will not sit still and will try his best to save her... The Queen Mother, the palace is heavily guarded and it is not easy to save people. After a period of time, you go to find a woman with a body shape and age similar to the Queen Mother..."

The cold wind was freezing, and Lian Shan shrank his neck from the cold. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's getting dark, Your Majesty should pay attention to your body."

"I'm fine, go and prepare as I said."

...

Three days passed in a flash, and the agreed time to replace the hostages was noon.

About Mochen, a fully equipped army came out of the palace. The emperor's dragon chariot was guarding the middle of the army. Lian Shan rode beside the dragon chariot, and behind the dragon chariot was a carriage, which was never blown up by the wind. The curtain could vaguely see that sitting in the carriage was a woman whose hands and feet were bound and gagged.

The people who were afraid to go out because the army was besieging the city could not help but stop on both sides of the street to watch the battle.

"Is it the Empress Dowager Daxia who is sitting in the carriage?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Who else but her."

In fact, at this point, they don't know whether to blame the Queen Mother of Daxia for killing their princess or to blame the emperor for taking the initiative to attack Daxia.

Shangguan Yu sat on the dragon chariot, glanced at the people around him, closed his eyes and asked lightly, "Is it all arranged?"

Lian Shan replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the way to the gate of the city, our people are in ambush in the dark. As long as the Duke of Song dares to come and save people, we will ensure that he will never come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black with long swords suddenly jumped down from the roofs on both sides, fighting with the soldiers in a flash.

The people screamed in terror and ran around.

"There are assassins, escort him." Lian Shan shouted loudly, and drew out his saber around his waist to block the blow that a man in black stabbed at Shang Guanyu.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed out from the houses on both sides, and instantly surrounded the entire team, including the men in black.

"No, we've been tricked." A man in black scolded.

Another person slashed a soldier with one sword and said angrily, "Don't worry about so much, it's important to save the queen mother."

The other men in black came back to their senses when they heard the words, and headed towards the carriage behind Long Ran with the same goal.

Although the number of soldiers is large, the men in black are better at their skills, especially the five men in black wearing masks. Everywhere they passed, soldiers were killed and injured.

Seeing that one of them had already got on the carriage, he was about to go in and bring the Queen Mother out, when he didn't want to make a sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow penetrated his shoulder blade and shot him out of the carriage.

The others were startled and turned back subconsciously to see that the eaves on both sides were filled with archers at some point.

Don't talk about saving people now, it's hard for them to leave.

Shangguan Yu has retreated to the periphery, frowning at the chaos in front of him.

Although everyone in black had their faces covered, he would not have misunderstood that Song Jingchen was not among these people.

How could he not come forward in person for such a big thing as saving people?

Looking at those people again, I found that the five men in black with masks obviously had many chances to rush into the carriage to save people, but they didn't do that, instead they were killing people indiscriminately, giving the illusion of panic.

But in Shangguan Yu's view, they are more like procrastinating.

Thinking of something, his pupils shrank: "Go back to the palace!"

After saying that, he grabbed a horse and ran towards the palace.

Lian Shan glanced at the man in black who was fighting with the soldiers. Although he didn't know why, he was busy greeting people to follow Shangguan Yu.
