Discordant sounds of one kind or another seemed to be heard in the ranks of officers and soldiers who were getting further away.
But none of this can affect Yi Xiaotian.
After confirming that the door was locked, Yi Xiaotian sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and sighed softly.
And in front of him, those women who were wearing heavy makeup and gorgeous flowers just now have returned to their former capable and sassy appearance.
"Sure enough... I was still a little rushed when I entered the city before, but it's good to be prepared in advance."
Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but applaud everyone.
The acting skills of Ning'er, Ying'er and the others just now were simply lifelike. I have to say that their talents are quite good.
"Sir, I didn't believe that the government would find out about it before. I didn't expect that Zhu Ran could really detect such a subtle change."
Ying'er also breathed a sigh of relief and looked helplessly at her sisters, who all looked tired.
After all, they haven't relaxed since yesterday.
——
The fact is that the first task Yi Xiaotian gave to Ning'er, Ying'er and the others was to create pressure from public opinion in Wu County.
After so long preparations, everyone knows that the news of Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage has not spread among the people for a long time due to the blockade from the upper levels.
In order to put pressure on Sun Quan and make him afraid that the matter will be exposed to Liu Bei who is still unaware of the situation, using public opinion is definitely the most effective and worry-free.
Such a stormy appearance is already the best result.
Although, in the end, he was still suspected.
But... knowing the importance of this operation, Yi Xiaotian had already arranged corresponding handling methods for them early on, just like what he did just now.
——
There was a knock on the door at the right time.
Three short, one long, three times in a row——
"The lady is back!"
Ying'er, who was still slumped aside, suddenly became energetic. Yi Xiaotian nodded and motioned to the maid next to him to quickly open the door for the visitor.
This is the secret code agreed upon by Yi Xiaotian, Sun Shangxiang and others.
Unless there was such a way of knocking on the door, Ying'er, Ning'er and the others would have made the same disguise just now to prevent it from coming from the government——
The door was opened gently.
Judging from Ying'er's surprised expression, she knew that the person outside must be Sun Shangxiang.
As expected, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi were walking in tandem, wearing bamboo hats and cloaks that concealed their appearance. Even in such a summer day, they were still wrapped up tightly.
They walked in the dark along the way, avoiding even the eyes of most pedestrians, and finally returned to the base.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Sun Shangxiang screamed:
"It's so hot! If we hadn't eaten some cold cakes at my sister's house, we would have fainted from the heat by now!"
She quickly threw away her heavy disguise, and in a relaxed state, she skipped towards Yi Xiaotian in the courtyard.
How could Yi Xiaotian not know the intention of Sun Shangxiang's shouting like this?
Seeing Sun Shangxiang coming over, he first handed her a cup of fragrant Pu'er (tea brought back from Zhang Zhao). After Sun Shangxiang took it obediently, Yi Xiaotian rubbed her head lovingly:
"Looking at you guys, I guess the plan is going quite smoothly?"
"Huh! That's natural, we don't care who is behind it!"
Sun Shangxiang raised her little head and said with great pride. The smile on her face completely exposed her joy at this moment.
Lu Lingqi on the side, after entering the mansion, made some inquiries about the situation in the streets and alleys.
After double-checking that no one was following her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After closing the door tightly and unloading the heavy burden on her body, Ying'er and Ning'er on the side saw this and thanked Lu Lingqi one after another.
Sun Shangxiang was young and somewhat childish. Although they were maids, they were much older. Naturally, they knew how important Lu Lingqi's protective role was during this trip.
To thank her, Lu Lingqi just waved her hand:
"You and I each perform our duties, there is no need to thank you, come to think of it..."
She turned to look at Yi Xiaotian and said slightly seriously:
"Sir, today we have exchanged information with Miss Da Qiao and confirmed that she is willing to cooperate with us - just..."
"Just what?"
Yi Xiaotian heard Lu Lingqi's serious tone and turned around to look into her eyes seriously and reply.
"It's just... I heard from Miss Da Qiao that Miss Xiao Qiao just left Zhou Mansion and returned to Qiao Mansion today. It seems that it was because of the notice last night..."
"Are we self-defeating?"
——
Lu Lingqi's worries can only be said to be human nature.
Even Yi Xiaotian, now separated from the history books, is not in the true state of predicting the future.
Nowadays, he is mostly relying on his many years of experience and experience, and his own ability gained through trial and error to carry out plans. It is inevitable that there will be omissions.
When Lu Lingqi said this, Yi Xiaotian also frowned.
"Really?"
"Well...that's what happened this morning. Miss Da Qiao's father went to the Sun family house to check on her. He was worried that Miss Da Qiao would also be forced to run away from marriage because of Shang Xiang, and now she would do stupid things even when she was wanted.
——”
"I can only say...I can only say that Miss Xiao Qiao is really a sweetheart."
"However, the result now is that the Zhou family seems to be very confused and angry about Miss Xiao Qiao's choice. From this point alone, it is not difficult to see that Miss Xiao Qiao's situation in the Zhou family is not what we thought.
Such freedom - Miss Da Qiao can temporarily have the right to choose freely, but Miss Xiao Qiao..."
Lu Lingqi sighed helplessly.
She didn't mean to blame Xiao Qiao. After all, they made plans and had no way to notify the relevant people in advance. Everyone just took it one step at a time... It can only be said that Xiao Qiao suddenly left the Zhou family and even had a vague intention of breaking with the Zhou family.
The stone did disrupt their original plan.
"Sister Xiao Qiao didn't mean it...Sir...tomorrow...tomorrow I will go and persuade Sister Xiao Qiao..."
"As for the Zhou family..."
After finally getting into a good mood, suddenly thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang felt a little at a loss again.
In her opinion, Xiao Qiao was absolutely good to her wholeheartedly, so he had such empathy for what she was going through now.
——
Yi Xiaotian's silence made everyone look a little panicked.
But... if everyone is familiar with Yi Xiaotian, like Lu Lingqi, they will know that as long as Yi Xiaotian falls into this state of contemplation, it means that everything will turn around.
Lu Lingqi looked at Yi Xiaotian quietly at this moment, waiting for Yi Xiaotian to speak——
"Miss Xiao Qiao left home at this stall... Is there any other reason? If you recall carefully, Miss Da Qiao is so attentive. Even if the situation is not good, she will tell you all useful information - although at the moment with us
There are some discrepancies in my plan, well... think about it!"
When Yi Xiaotian spoke like this, Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other.
They both saw determination in each other's eyes, and then they began to reminisce.
It didn't take long either.
Sun Shangxiang suddenly screamed and said in incomplete sentences:
"I...I remember...yes! Sister Da Qiao seems to have said that! She said...that the Governor may return to the house tomorrow! Sister Xiao Qiao must not want to see the Governor and leaves home in such a rage!"
Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then it probably took him less than a breath of time to think of how to change the plan.
