"Think about what kind of enemies we will encounter." Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at Shen Xing and replied softly. "Pack your things and I will take you for a walk nearby after dark."
Lu Zhiyao and Shen Xing were talking when there was a knock on the door. Opening the door, Mo Xiaoying walked in and asked Lu Zhiyao in a low voice: "Go out for a walk?"
Lu Zhiyao said nothing, just looked at her, and then Mo Xiaoying said: "Let's go, Jun Fan is with us."
Lu Zhiyao saw that the two people had already agreed, so she had no reason to refuse. She took Shen Xing out with her, leaving Yunfei, Geng Zhengxin and Baili Chen waiting at the inn. They walked on the street and stood In the crowd, Lu Zhiyao felt somewhat uncomfortable.
A few people just walked around the inn and checked whether Lin Mubai's troops were stationed here.
After eating, when it got dark, Lu Zhiyao sent Shen Xing back, and he and Xuanyuan Junfan came to Yongcheng, found the location of the granary, and stood looking there from a distance.
It can be seen that the peripheral defense is far beyond what they thought before, and Lin Yinan does not intend to give them any chance to succeed.
"what to do?"
"The prince is asking me?" Lu Zhiyao looked at Xuanyuan Junfan who spoke out.
"Of course." Xuanyuan Junfan nodded, "The Emperor has left this matter to you. Both I and the Queen must obey your orders."
Lu Zhiyao chuckled, feeling that Xuanyuan Junfan's words sounded a little too nice.
"Then should I postpone it for a few more days and enjoy being the master more?" Lu Zhiyao stared in the distance. There were about fifty soldiers who could be seen with his eyes alone. I don't know how many there are in there.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Lu Zhiyao made a decision and the three of them acted together.
Because Lu Zhiyao had experience fighting Xuanyuan Junfan before, he knew his skills well. As for Mo Xiaoying, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, Lu Zhiyao thought that Xuanyuan Haotian would not send one The person who was holding her back. And the facts proved that what she thought was right. Mo Xiaoying's keen sense and her reaction ability showed that she belongs to the type who has experienced hundreds of battles.
Entering the enemy, the three of them spread out. The place here is not small. Lu Zhiyao looked around, trying to find a place that could accommodate her and Shen Xing. The field of view was relatively wide, and the distance was within a few storage distances. The food supply was too far away. Lu Zhiyao did not intend to fight face to face with the enemy at close range. It was enough to leave that kind of thing to Xuanyuan Junfan. It was the best choice to let Shen Xing shoot rockets from a distance.
Lu Zhiyao inspected the entire place in the shortest possible time, then met up with the other two people and left.
After arriving at the safe zone, Lu Zhiyao frowned and said, "Something feels wrong."
"How do you say this?" Mo Xiaoying asked curiously.
"Did you find anyone suspicious just now?" Lu Zhiyao said her opinion. There, she did not find any expert who seemed to have keen observation skills, nor did she feel that such a person existed there.
"He won't be so defenseless." Lu Zhiyao said uneasily.
"It seems that you think highly of Lin Yinan." Xuanyuan Junfan interrupted.
"I also want to look down on him, but please don't forget, Your Majesty, whose hands you suffered not long ago, and whose life-saving food was destroyed." Lu Zhiyao looked at Xuanyuan Junfan coldly and asked. : "There is no larger grain storage area nearby, right?"
"No."
"You guys wait here, I'll go for a walk nearby." After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, she turned and left. Xuanyuan Junfan looked at her back and had no intention of pursuing her.
"Look, even before we met the real enemy, our Xiao Zhiyao started to feel uneasy." Xuanyuan Junfan said to Mo Xiaoying with great interest.
"She can hear what you said." Mo Xiaoying glanced sideways at Xuanyuan Junfan, feeling that he shouldn't say this.
It didn't take Lu Zhiyao long to return. She returned to her residence without saying a word and locked herself in the room.
Shen Xing had already picked up his bow and arrow, just waiting for Lu Zhiyao to fulfill her promise and take him out. Lu Zhiyao sat there quietly for a long time, then stood up, walked to the window and called Shen Xing over.
Lu Zhiyao jumped out of the window with Shen Xing and reached the roof. Shen Xing was startled, but did not scream.
After crossing several streets, Lu Zhiyao finally stopped. She let go of Shen Xing's hand and asked, "Where is the farthest place you can shoot?"
Shen Xing looked up at her sideways, then pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, and shot it out after a moment.
Lu Zhiyao only glanced at the shooting range and smiled with satisfaction. If it was this level, then things might be much easier to handle.
When Shen Xing saw Lu Zhiyao not speaking, he thought she was dissatisfied, so he raised his hand again after being stunned, ready to try again.
"That's enough." Lu Zhiyao stopped him, but he had no intention of returning to the inn immediately. Instead, he sat down, looked up at the stars, and chatted with Shen Xing. "You have been here for most of the past six months. Is there a person there?"
Shen Xing shook his head and said, "I live in Prince Xuanyuan's Mansion."
"Oh? Did Xuanyuan Junfan teach you martial arts?" Lu Zhiyao didn't expect Xuanyuan Junfan to be so good at things.
"Yes." Shen Xing nodded seriously, "I was sent there just a month ago. The prince said you would go, so..."
"Be good, we won't be separated again." Lu Zhiyao took Shen Xing's hand and sat down. Neither of them said anything. They cherished this hard-earned reunion. Lu Zhiyao thought in his heart about being in the mountains. The three children, especially Qing Mo and Qing Han.
Lu Zhiyao took Shen Xing back to the inn very late and slept all night. The next day everyone went to Yongcheng to prepare for the mission.
After arriving at the destination, Shen Xing was arranged to stay, and the others all went to the grain storage area to explore the surrounding environment. Just in case, they moved separately. Lu Zhiyao stood in the alley, looking down at his hands. He was looking at the map and thinking about which way to retreat would be the fastest way to leave here and return to the border of Qingming Kingdom.
Suddenly, Lu Zhiyao's gaze shifted and looked in a certain direction to his left. He quickly left and hid in a dark place. Sure enough, within a while, someone passed by.
Lu Zhiyao took a closer look, and her expression became stunned for a moment. It was Chu Ziqian and another strange man she had never seen before.
Could it be that Lin Yinan sent Chu Ziqian to guard this place this time?
Lu Zhiyao watched the two people gradually move away, then looked in the direction where they came from, and then his breathing returned to normal without hesitation.
The first time she came out was a tough battle. Lu Zhiyao's vision changed several times, and finally returned to its original cold look. She chose this path herself, so she should stick to it.
Returning to his footing, Lu Zhiyao quickly drew a picture on paper, put it on the table and said to several others: "These are the two routes that I think are safer. In addition to the Yamen near the granary, there are There are some residents living in this area, but not many, and I suspect that there are people from the other side lurking there. After taking action, we can return to the border the fastest by taking this road, but in this open space , we are also more likely to become targets of the enemy. Once the border is alerted, it will be difficult to return to Qingguo safely."
"Did you sneak over and take a look last night?" Xuanyuan Junfan was a little surprised and asked where Lu Zhiyao went last night. Otherwise, she had only been there with them twice and could she have drawn such detailed drawings?
"Should I return immediately after taking action, or should I choose to go to the Yamen to hide from the limelight and wait for an opportunity to go back? Let the prince decide." Lu Zhiyao did not answer Xuanyuan Junfan's question and continued to speak.
"Yamen?" Mo Xiaoying raised her eyebrows, "How to hide?"
"Once there is a problem with food, the Yamen will not sit idly by. The most dangerous place is also the safest. It may not be a good strategy to avoid the enemy's pursuit there, but it will also delay the final decision to leave Xia Lai Country.
Good time.”
Xuanyuan Junfan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Go back directly. There will be many opportunities to come here in the future. Don't worry about not having time to go to the Yamen."
"Well, if we leave directly, I will prepare the carriage this afternoon and then pass the customs the same way as before. I'm afraid I won't be able to get through."
Lu Zhiyao made a prompt decision and followed Xuanyuan Junfan's decision to think about the next thing. The others looked at her calm look and had something on their minds.
"As expected of the daughter of the great general of the country." Xuanyuan Junfan spoke without fear of death, making the atmosphere in the room a little unusual.
"I just thought the prince was complimenting me."
"I was just complimenting you."
"Shen Xing, follow me out." Lu Zhiyao took Shen Xing out to do errands without even looking at him. Mo Xiaoying saw the door being closed and quickly got up and chased him out.
"Wait for me." Mo Xiaoying said, "I'll be with you."
According to Lu Zhiyao's understanding, apart from the escort agencies, the only people who frequently traveled between the two countries were businessmen. She bought two carriages, several pieces of fine cloth, and some clothes, and ordered them to be delivered to the inn.
After leaving, Mo Xiaoying took her to a restaurant that looked good, ready to fill her stomach.
Lu Zhiyao only took one look at the plaque and said to Mo Xiaoying, "The things here are pretty good."
"Have you eaten?"
"Yes." Lu Zhiyao replied in a low voice. This is a famous store of the Chu family. Chu Ziqian must have come here to handle business under the pretext of doing business for Lin Yinan, right? The Chu family, which would never destroy its own brand, was originally powerful.
It should be in the southern area. Those stores in Beijing are considered new, so the taste of the old stores will naturally not be worse than there.
Leaving Xuanyuan Junfan and others behind, Mo Xiaoying ordered a large table of dishes. Lu Zhiyao used the light to taste the long-lost taste, and his memory was a little blurry for a while.
“Really good!”
Mo Xiaoying's true nature will be exposed as soon as she sees food. Seeing her happy look, Lu Zhiyao's mood also improved.
