Qin Yi and others came to the imperial city five days ago, disguised as Xiling merchants.
However, after arriving, I don’t know if it was because of the war. According to the spies who stayed in Dongchen Kingdom, the interrogations became more and more strict when entering the city, and the people from the patrol camp also stepped up patrols in the city.
Especially outside the Zhenbei General's Mansion, because Song Heng was fighting in the northern border, and out of the protection of Song Heng's family, the people from the patrol camp intensified their 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 kidnap Song Heng's wife Shen to threaten Song Heng, because the spies in Dongchen reported that Song Heng loved this wife very much, and this Shen was also very capable.
But after they waited for three days, the Shen family did not leave the city. As they could not wait too long, they retreated and captured Song Heng's son.
In fact, based on his understanding of Song Heng, even if the Northern Territory threatens him with his wife and children, 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 could make Emperor Dongchen not trust Song Heng. Emperor Dongchen was afraid that Song Heng would be threatened and defected, so he transferred Song Heng back.
Song Heng led troops in the northern border to carry out such a rescue operation. If the commander were suddenly changed, the morale of the troops would 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, then the Dongchen Kingdom would also ask him to give up his son's life and watch his son die in front of him. If he could destroy Song Heng
His mentality can make Song Heng disappointed with 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 Yulin 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 in 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 Yan, who was waiting in line for the inspection, frowned. How did the people from the 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 didn't say a word during the whole process, and no one could tell that they were from the Northern Territory through their accents! Moreover, in order to hide their identity, he
When I left the Northern Territory, the soldiers I picked were all short in stature, slightly more handsome in appearance, and not quite like the people from the Northern Territory.
How did they find out?
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 loaded 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 and said directly: "What else are you looking for, Boss Yi?"
I trust you, let’s go!”
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
Qin Yi thanked him with a smile and got on the carriage.
The officers and soldiers named Wang were also let go.
