Jia Cong and others pretended to be clever and frightened away King Qin's pursuers. They took a breath and gathered together to discuss. Jia Cong said first: "There is no need to guess about this. It must be Mr. Ji's uncle who found out that he was hiding among us. I'm afraid he can't catch him."
When you find someone, use the troops of King Qin to kill him and silence him. That old man is quite powerful, he can still recognize him even though he has put on makeup."
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly and said: "I have said before that it is extremely difficult to escape from him." He thought for a while and said, "In this case, it means that my uncle has not yet sent a letter to Beijing."
Jia Cong hit the marching table with his finger and said: "He can't react so fast. When he called Mrs. Cao back to her parents' home, you had already hidden yourself in the Gao family. Only after meeting with Mrs. Cao and discussing it could he completely solve the problem.
I understand what happened in the Prince's Mansion at that time. Then he had to search outside and inside Chang'an City, which would take a lot of time. The most likely possibility is that he was seen by his people when he left the city. We have an absolute advantage in terms of time. Even if Cao Cao
Mr. Ji uses carrier pigeons to deliver urgent letters. Now that Mr. Ji is with us, he does not dare to write too clearly in his letters. On the contrary, we use three lines of special personnel, pigeons and horses to deliver the letters long ago. "
Chen Ruijin thought: "In this case, Mr. Cao has jumped over the wall this time. He knows that he may have made a big mistake and it will be difficult to make up for it. Mr. Ji, this person has never had any luck."
Mr. Ji immediately said: "No."
Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily. When people have to resign themselves to fate, they will naturally and take chances." He turned to look at Xiaomei, "Aunt Xiaomei, are you leaving now? Is it possible for you to enter the city before the Qin army?"
?”
Xiaomei said: "No problem, the defeated army walked slowly, and I still know the path."
Jia Cong nodded: "Mr. Ji, please write a letter to Mr. Cao, saying that although Cao has failed you, you still refuse to let her down. If I trouble Mr. Cao to help you take care of your children, you will be rewarded in the future. Mr. Cao thought
, you still have many shortcomings in his hands, so he probably doesn’t dare to talk nonsense; even if he doesn’t have any luck, he will inevitably check your letter. What we are dealing with is the time difference, and delaying them is only a matter of time.
"
Mr. Ji clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Jia is so cunning."
Jia Cong snorted: "I'm not asking you to force me."
At this moment, the tent was set up. Mr. Ji sat down inside, and a soldier brought some ink. Mr. Ji praised: "This ink is cheap! Who came up with this idea."
Jia Cong said casually: "Intellectual property rights will be around three hundred years from now. They will be everywhere in the south."
Even though Mr. Ji didn't know what "intellectual property" meant, he could hear "three hundred years later" clearly. He was glad that he came to them. He finished writing it in a short time, to the effect that he was keeping it secret for Mr. Cao.
The secret is that Mr. Cao takes care of his parents and wife for him, and he loves and hates his cousin. We will talk about it later. If something happens to his parents and wife, Mr. Cao and the prince of Xining County will not be safe. After writing it, I checked it twice and
There was no flaw, so he took out the private seal and tried to seal it. Jia Cong coughed beside him and said, "Mr. Ji, haven't you read "Water Margin"?" Mr. Ji understood immediately, put away the seal, took paste to seal the letter, and then sealed the letter.
I wrote an envelope and gave it to Xiaomei.
Xiaomei took the letter and put it in her arms, smiling slightly. Jia Cong stepped forward and bowed to the ground: "Please, Auntie."
"Don't worry." Xiaomei turned around and left.
This woman was not beautiful, but her posture when she turned over on the horse was very good-looking. Jia Cong shouted from behind: "Auntie, what a refreshing and heroic posture!" Xiaomei turned around, smiled, and flew away after hitting the horse.
Xiaomei chased Qin Bing until dawn and caught up with them. She then took another road to get ahead. Instead of going straight to Chang'an City, she went to a small town on the outskirts of the city. There was a post office there. She did not take out the Gao family's mailbox.
After sealing the letter, he pretended to chat with the people inside for a while. Few people came to post letters here recently. The man who kept the post office was a man in his forties, and he was happy to have a woman talking to him. Xiao Main said he was thirsty.
The man went inside to find a clean cup for her. Xiaomei took advantage of the opportunity and jumped into the counter and pulled out the postmark seal. When Jia Cong opened the post office, the postmark was also made with a wheel seal according to the method of later generations. Xiaomei turned the seal
On the day when Jia Cong and others left Chang'an City, he stamped Mr. Ji's letter, turned the seal back to today, put it back, and hid the letter in his arms.
When the man brought some water, Xiaomei thanked him with a smile and asked him if he had seen anyone before. The man asked who was busy. Xiaomei described Mr. Banriji's appearance after putting on makeup when he left the city that day, and said: "There are three people."
Everyone said they saw him come into this post office one day."
The man thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "I can't remember such a person."
Xiaomei begged: "Master, please think about it~~" and told Mr. Ji again, "The beard is about this long, the eyebrows are thick and black, and it looks ugly when it droops. There are two moles here... A small hat in green clothes, worn on both feet.
Those are ordinary blue cloth shoes..." He went on in detail for a long time. "Has he ever come to you to send a letter?"
The man thought hard for a long time, shook his head and said, "I really can't remember."
Xiaomei thought for a moment and asked: "How many letters did your post office receive that day? Where were they sent?"
The man said sadly: "We only have to fill in the form for packages here, but not for letters. After paying the postage, you can just put it in the mailbox yourself."
Xiaomei sighed softly and said in disappointment: "Could it be that it's not here?" Then she left with a frown on her face.
She immediately rode into the city and rushed to the post office closest to the Cao family. This time she took out the Gao family's seal and ordered the post office steward to stamp the postmark for today's arrival and send someone to deliver it immediately.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Cao got the letter and was shocked. He didn't know whether to believe it or not. However, King Qin's troops had not returned yet. Theoretically, it was impossible for two thousand people to capture more than twenty people.
He was still uneasy for a few days. When he saw the letter from his nephew, he felt like there were twenty-five rats in his arms, with hundreds of claws scratching his heart. If the letter was true, could it be that the boy really didn't say anything? Or did he really say nothing?
Did you say something unimportant? The old man was pacing back and forth in the study without a clue. He didn't know that Jia Cong didn't believe him when he did business with Mr. Ji last time. He also vaguely hoped that what his nephew wrote in this letter was true.
He picked up the letter and read it again, looked at the postmark, and ordered someone to go to the post office where the letter was sent to check.
The town where the post office is located is very close to Chang'an City, and Mr. Cao's men arrived not long after. The man asked the man guarding the post office about Mr. Ji. After saying a few words, the man thought of Xiaomei and said curiously: "This man is
Who? Why are everyone asking about him?"
The man hurriedly asked: "Who still asks about him?"
"A sister-in-law who just arrived also heard about this man." The man said, "She said that three people saw him coming in." The man then asked what the woman looked like and what she asked. The man had a crush on Xiaomei and refused to tell her.
Mr. Cao's people gave him two hundred dollars. After receiving the money, the man explained clearly what Xiaomei looked like and what he had learned about.
It's just that there was a misunderstanding here. The man was quite lonely because he was guarding the post office all day long. When a woman came and talked to him for a long time, he felt very fond of her. After Xiaomei left, he thought about it again and again.
, thought about it several times. Therefore, he felt that Xiaomei's visit to the post office had just happened, so he casually said "just now"; in fact, Xiaomei had been gone for a long time. When Mr. Cao's people heard this, they naturally thought that "just now" meant that she was at the post office.
He had just left not long before entering the door, so he didn't ask this man when Xiaomei came.
After the man finished asking questions at the post office, he rushed back to Cao's house to see Mr. Cao and told him everything he knew. Mr. Cao thought that a woman had followed him and sent someone to the post office to inquire. Mr. Cao didn't have time to think about it.
, someone came from outside to report that the people sent by the King of Qin to chase Jia Cong were back, defeated and lost one of their generals. Mr. Cao was so shocked that he jumped up: "How is that possible! Jia Cong is a man with three heads and six arms.
How could Zhayou defeat so many soldiers?" He decided to investigate again.
But he couldn't sit still anymore. He changed into ordinary people's clothes inside, took the letter with his sleeves and went to the Yamen to find Wang Wuzuo. Wang Wuzuo also felt numb at the moment. When he saw him, he sent his young apprentice away.
He went out and whispered: "Now we are on the cusp of the storm. Brother, please don't come to me in broad daylight."
Mr. Cao sighed, "I don't know who to talk to for a while." He took out the letter and showed it to him, and told him that there was a woman who went to the post office one step ahead of him to inquire about Mr. Ji.
Wang Wuzuo thought for a while and said: "Although the people at the post office can't remember him, it's possible that after entering the post office, he hid somewhere and changed his clothes, removing the fake beard, fake eyebrows, fake moles and so on. Someone saw him.
When I went in, what I saw was that I didn't recognize his face, but I could only remember his clothes and beard."
Mr. Cao nodded: "My nephew is cunning. Although the post office is small, there is always a desk for people to write letters. He hides it under it to change clothes, or he has another kind of fake eyebrows and beard hidden in his bag.
.The stamp of this post office is definitely not fake.”
Wang Wuzuo said: "Guess who that woman is?"
Mr. Cao said: "I didn't tell King Qin that he was among Jia Cong's people. The people looking for him would not be people from King Qin. Then they could only be people from the Jia family or the Gao family."
Wang Wu said: "The post office is originally opened by the Jia family and the Gao family. Their people don't need to pretend to be passers-by to inquire. Maybe besides us, there are people who are watching Mr. Ji."
Mr. Cao took a breath and said after a while: "Where else can anyone keep an eye on him? Could it be the prince's people?"
"Or people from other countries." Wang Wu said, "That woman is obviously a spy, and there are many people from other countries who are keeping an eye on the Qin State. Mr. Ji made a fuss at the Prince's Mansion at night, and it is inevitable that there are secrets from other countries hidden in the Prince's Mansion."
Mr. Cao said: "Maybe it's the other concubines in the prince's house."
Wang Wuzuo nodded and said: "Your love is favored, and it will be inevitable if someone regards your nephew as her adulterer and wants to pinch him."
Mr. Cao read the letter and said, "I don't know whether I should believe what is written in this letter."
Wang Wuzuo took the letter and read it again, and sighed: "If it is false, there is nothing we can do. Now I hope it is true." He suddenly said, "Wait... the place where the letter was sent is not on the way from Chang'an to the capital.
Could it be that your nephew parted ways with Jia Cong after he left the city?"
Mr. Cao hesitated for a moment and said: "He is not that bold, he is afraid that I will catch him."
"Furthermore, why did it take so long to send a letter that was sent on the outskirts of the city?"
Mr. Cao said: "He sent it by ordinary mail, which is slow in nature. This section is not surprising."
Wang Wuzuo carefully read the letter paper for half a day, then took it under his nose and smelled it, and said: "The paper is just returned, it must be from Lingyunzhai; the ink is an extremely ordinary carbon ink. How can he use such good paper?"
A mediocre choice?"
Mr. Cao said: "He probably prepared the paper himself, but borrowed the pen and ink from others at random."
Wang Wuzuo sneered: "Mr. Cao sincerely hopes that what is said in the letter is true. But what if it is false?"
Mr. Cao smiled bitterly and said: "King Qin's two thousand soldiers have returned. I don't know what happened. They were defeated anyway. If this letter is false, I don't know what to do."
Wang Wuzuo said coldly: "If it is false, Mr. Nie Ji must have given all our details to Jia Cong. With this man's murderous nature, you and I should both run for our lives."
Mr. Cao was silent for a moment and said, "What if we think too much?" Wang Wuzuo just looked at him indifferently for a long time, then issued an order to expel the guest. Mr. Cao left in silence.
It was not until night that Mr. Cao learned the details of the defeat of the pursuers, and he was suddenly broken into a cold sweat. The colleague who came to tell him smiled bitterly and said: "The King of Qin was also frightened into a cold sweat. It was so quiet that the master had already sent him to death row."
.”
Mr. Cao couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Could it be that he really knows magic?"
The colleague said: "That soldier will die after passing the Bai Ling he set up. Besides, even if he doesn't know magic, he still has a magic weapon that can fly in the sky. Mr. Cao, you just want to think about it, his magic weapon is flying in the sky
, Others can't hurt him, but he can kill others. If he fights, he will win without losing. Even if he really wants to be independent..." The man lowered his voice and said, "Others can't stop him if he's afraid."
Mr. Cao stumbled anxiously and said, "Is there no other way?"
The colleague originally came to him to ask for a solution. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "Now we must first find a way to save Master Jingde."
Mr. Cao thought to himself: If that kid confesses, running away is the right thing to do. How can he have time to save the monk? Another thought, what if that kid really didn’t tell the truth? His wife and I are holding them in my hands.
.If he didn't miss his family and could just leave, why would he need to write this letter again? He was thinking about it, and his thoughts were confused. His colleague reminded him again: "Mr. Cao, save Master Jingde first."
Mr. Cao quickly calmed down, thought for a while and said: "Since Jia Cong is a Taoist, it is not difficult to save him. How many disputes have there been between Buddhism and Taoism since ancient times? The King of Qin was so suspicious that he had ulterior motives. He would have been able to get away as long as other countries did not work hard.
It is only said that Jia Cong is a Taoist with a good background. He is afraid that this person will go down to the next world to promote Taoism and demote Buddha. If you remove Jia Cong, you will lose an important chess piece of Taoism."
After hearing this, the colleague thought: "Avoiding the important and choosing the light is the best way to protect everything."
Mr. Cao said: "We are afraid that it will be difficult for us to break the prison with our own hands, so we can only think of these methods." The colleague sighed softly.
It is said that the King of Qin wanted to pursue Jia Cong temporarily because he was instigated by Mr. Cao and one of his associates. The man was an eminent monk. He hurriedly went to see the King of Qin that day and only said that Jia Cong had brought great trouble for the prince. The King of Qin always believed in him.
He told him that he was confused and sent people to chase him. In fact, less than half a day after the pursuers had gone, he suddenly realized that it was a bit ridiculous. But the soldiers and horses had already left! Now that the general had lost his face and lost face, he was furious.
