Qin Yi and others came to the imperial city five days ago, disguised as Xiling merchants. However, after arriving, they did not know whether it was because of the war. According to the spies who stayed in Dongchen Kingdom, they were interrogated when they entered the city.
The regulations have become more and more strict, and the people from the patrol camp have also stepped up patrols in the city. Especially outside the Zhenbei General's Mansion. Because Song Heng is fighting in the north, out of the protection of Song Heng's family, the people from the patrol camp are even more strict.
Intensified inspections around the Zhenbei General's Mansion. The Zhenbei General's Mansion is also heavily guarded. It is very difficult to arrest people in the Zhenbei General's Mansion. He originally wanted to capture Song Heng's wife Shen to threaten Song.
Heng, because the spies in Dongchen reported that Song Heng loved his wife very much, and that Shen was also very capable. But after they waited for three days, Shen had not left the city, and they could not wait too long.
, so he retreated and captured Song Heng's son.
In fact, based on his understanding of Song Heng, even if they threaten him with his wife and children in the Northern Territory, he may not betray his country, and even if he goes to such great lengths, he may not be able to threaten Song Heng. However,
It can make Emperor Dongchen not trust Song Heng. Emperor Dongchen is afraid that Song Heng will be threatened and defection, so he will transfer Song Heng back. Song Heng led troops in the north to rescue him like this. If the commander is suddenly changed, the morale of the army will be shaken. Moreover,
, another person would not be as good at fighting as Song Heng, and he would not understand their fighting methods in the Northern Territory as well.
There is another possibility that Emperor Dongchen did not transfer Song Heng back,
If Song Heng was not transferred back, the Dongchen Kingdom would also ask him to give up his son's life. Watching his son die in front of him would break Song Heng's mentality and make Song Heng disappointed with the Dongchen Kingdom.
Therefore, no matter whether Song Heng will be threatened by them or not, no matter what happens, it will be beneficial to their Northern Territory.
Two days later, the Royal Forest Army and the state governments still found no trace of the group of northern barbarians who had captured Song Ziling.
Qin Yi also discovered the county town where they were going to stay. He was strictly checking people entering and leaving the city. A portrait of Song Ziling was posted at the gate of the city. Next to the portrait, a notice offering a reward was posted, saying that the barbarians from the Northern Territory sneaked into Dongchen and captured the Zhenbei General's Mansion.
If the common people find any traces of Barbarian and Young Master Song from the Northern Territory, they should immediately report it to the government. If the information is true, they will be rewarded with thousands of taels of gold.
Yan Yi, who was waiting in line for the inspection, frowned. How did the people from Dongchen Kingdom find out that it was the people from the Northern Territory who captured Song Ziling? They didn't leave anything to reveal their identity! Even if someone saw them arresting Song Ziling, they were still there all the time.
They didn’t say a word, and no one could tell that they were from the Northern Territory by their accent! Moreover, in order to hide his identity, when he left the Northern Territory, he picked people who were short in stature, slightly more delicate in appearance, and not quite like the Northern Territory.
The soldiers of the domain people.
How did they discover it? Qin Yi couldn't figure it out. Could it be speculation?
It was Qin Yi's turn to check. When the officers and soldiers at the city gate saw him, they smiled and shouted: "Boss Yi."
Qin Yi smiled and said in Mandarin with a Xiling accent: "Brother Wang, you are on duty again today!"
The officer surnamed Wang said: "I am on duty every day. Oh, have you sold all your Xiling tea?"
More than ten days ago, the goods on this carriage were not like this.
Qin Yi smiled and said: "They are all sold. I bought a lot of silk in the imperial city and plan to take it back to Xiling to sell. We Xiling people really like the silk from your Dongchen Kingdom."
After saying that, he got off the carriage again, walked up to the officer and soldier named Wang, took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve pocket, and stuffed it into the hands of the officer and soldier named Wang.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'll treat Brother Wang and the brothers to tea."
The officer surnamed Wang stuffed the silver ingot into his arms and said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Yi."
Qin Yi took out the customs clearance documents and handed them to him: "Brother Wang and the brothers will check it carefully."
The officer surnamed Wang didn't even accept the paperwork, but said directly: "What else are you looking for, Boss Yi? I can trust you, let's go!"
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Qin Yi thanked him with a smile, and then got on the carriage.
The officers and soldiers named Wang were also let go.
