Chapter 212 The Bastard in the Urn

The snow stopped.

Leng Lanzhi looked at the thin snow on the ground, which seemed to be melting before the night, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the snow is not heavy."

The Chinese New Year will be here in less than a month. By the time the Chinese New Year is over, Tianhai City will slowly get warmer and return to the way it was like spring all year round.

She is not worried about what will happen to the city after the new year. She is only worried about the heavy snowfall before the new year.

Although the food and clothing problems in the city have now been solved, and charcoal fires have been brought into the city in batches, the structure of the houses in the south is different from that in the north. The houses in the south are mainly designed to dissipate heat and prevent moisture, but not to keep warm.

This was something I had a deep understanding of during my stay in Leng Lan.

If there are a few more heavy snowfalls and the air-conditioning accumulates, even with cotton-padded clothes and a charcoal fire, the house will still be very cold.

Gu Zhan said: "The New Year is coming soon. If we finish things here as soon as possible, the princess can return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year as soon as possible."

Leng Lanzhi nodded: "Yes, my father and mother must be worried after being out for so long."

Lin Weiyang listened quietly, and when Leng Lanzhi brought the topic back to the right track, he said: "If you want to return to Beijing before the New Year, you can no longer wait for the other party to reveal his flaws. The fastest way is to lure the snake out of its hole."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze.

The confident look on Lin Weiyang's face froze. He looked up and saw the man wearing a mask slowly looking away: "I don't agree."

Leng Lanzhi knew why he disagreed.

When he first captured the Wala assassin, he only had to push her out and use her as bait to get twice the result with half the effort. However, because of his loyalty to his father, he did not want her to take risks and rejected this trouble-free proposal without thinking.

In his opinion, Lin Weiyang's proposal was nothing more than a cliché.

Leng Lanzhi felt that this was feasible.

She was deeply impressed by the attack on Tianhai City in her previous life, because there were heavy casualties!

Afterwards, people from the imperial court went to count the number of casualties and got a terrifying figure - out of the hundreds of thousands of people in Tianhai City, 100,000 died! The number of injured was more than double!

This is also the reason why she insisted on solving this matter before going back.

She must not let the same thing happen again!

After a slight hesitation, Leng Lanzhi made a decision: "Azhan, I want to go."

"Princess?!" Gu Zhan frowned under his mask, and his jaw clenched tightly.

Leng Lanzhi pretended to smile relaxedly and said: "I believe in your ability, and I also believe that you will not let anything happen to me."

Gu Zhan's pupils were shocked.

Did she have such great expectations for him?

The words of rejection that were about to be spoken turned into a sigh: "Okay."

Lin Weiyang watched the two people's interaction as if they were parting from each other. He was silent for a while and then said: "Is there a possibility that luring a snake out of its hole does not necessarily require using a princess as bait?"

Leng Lanzhi: "?"

Realizing that she had misunderstood, she was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, I'm stuck in a fixed mindset..."

As the New Year approaches and the temperature begins to slowly warm up, the atmosphere in the city gradually becomes better.

The people discovered that the security in the city seemed to be relaxed.

Ever since President Feng escaped, the atmosphere in the city has changed. Officers and soldiers patrolled three days a day and two days a day. They even issued a reward notice, saying that as long as someone could provide clues to President Feng's hiding place, once verified,

The person who reported it will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

As soon as this announcement came out, the people in the city became more industrious, and there was a lot of excitement outside the government office, all of which were people who came to provide clues.

Sheriff Li seemed to think that with the clues provided by the common people, there was no need for officers and soldiers to do anything, so he reduced the intensity of the search in the city.

Nowadays, the city is full of people preparing for the New Year.

Some are preparing to make their own new clothes, and some are working hard to make money at odd jobs in order to eat well during the Chinese New Year. They are not as nervous and anxious as they were some time ago.

A man who seemed to be the same as the people around him was walking slowly, but in fact his eyes were constantly looking around, trying to confirm whether the governor's mansion had really removed the patrolling officers and soldiers.

After observing for three consecutive days, the city was peaceful for three days. The man felt relieved, entered the tunnel through a house with a tunnel entrance, and spread the news.

"I took the bait!" Leng Lanzhi was overjoyed.

Gu Zhan curled his lips slightly, looking at the woman's calm and beautiful face, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

Three more days passed.

The flavor of the new year is stronger in the city.

Late at night, the city was completely quiet. Except for the patrolling guards, there were no unnecessary people walking on the streets - except for the dark places without light.

In an ordinary-looking house, with the sound of the door opening, one, two, three... hundreds of men wearing black fancy clothes walked out of the small kitchen.

The leader counted the number of people, made sure that everyone was present, and said in the language of Haiguo: "Everyone, work hard. After tonight, this prosperous Tianhai City will be ours!"

"The eldest prince said, pearls! Money! Beauty! As much as you want!"

Hundreds of people were excited and excited: "The great prince is mighty!"

The leader said: "Let's go! Go and join the others."

Immediately he glanced at someone indifferently: "Fengsang, lead the way."

President Feng, who was also dressed in black, walked out, but where was the disguised temperament on his face?

He smiled very flatteringly: "Sir, please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the small courtyard was kicked open, and a dark crowd of officers and soldiers blocked the outside. At a glance, there were more than a hundred people.

The expressions of everyone in the courtyard changed, and President Feng shouted: "We have been discovered! Evacuate quickly!"

Hundreds of people left behind a dozen or so death squads, and the rest all rushed back to the kitchen, got into the secret passage, and planned to return the way they came.

Gu Zhan personally brought people over, and after taking care of the dozen or so people as quickly as possible, he sent a team of people to chase them, and ordered in a cold voice: "Just follow them, there is no need to take action."

Then Chairman Feng and others discovered that those members of the death squads were really powerful, and they actually delayed the officers and soldiers for a quarter of an hour!

Although a quarter of an hour was not long, it was enough for them to escape.

When they got to the sea, wouldn't the sea be so vast that the fish could jump?

Then they realize that they have thought too much.

It turns out that the reason why those officers and soldiers never caught up was not that they were unable to catch up, but that they didn't want to because it was simply not necessary.

There was already someone waiting at the entrance of the secret passage!

There are people at both ends. President Feng and others have truly become the bastards in the jar and cannot escape.

Just when President Feng and his party were arrested, another team of a thousand people was also captured in another abandoned mansion in the city. Only the leader took advantage of the initial chaos to escape.

It only took Gu Zhan less than a quarter of an hour to ask President Feng about Haiguo's plan - more than a thousand people planned to kill the officers and soldiers guarding the city under the cover of night and open the city gate!

Then the team of ten thousand people dormant at sea will enter the city at the appointed time.

Wherever the tens of thousands of people passed by, those who resisted were feared to be killed without mercy!

In other words, at this time, there are ten thousand elite soldiers of the Sea Kingdom floating on the sea level outside Tianhai City!

There was less than a quarter of an hour left before they disembarked and attacked the city!
