Bai Yuanfei successfully sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion. It was time for Zi Chou to meet. He lay on the roof of the main hall. As soon as he sneaked in, he was startled by the sight of the City Lord's Mansion.
Below are densely packed patrol teams, one shift every quarter of an hour, alternating with each other, so tight that there are no gaps.
Judging from their movements, they all maintained good physical strength and did not show any slackness because of the late night.
Bai Yuanfei felt a little speechless. What kind of secrets was hidden in the city lord's mansion that required such strict vigilance.
At first, I just thought Liangzhou City was a little strange, but now it seems that there must be some secrets hidden in it.
Now, with Bai Yuanfei's ability, he has no confidence that he will not be discovered if he dives. The more important reason is that he does not yet know where Li Xingzai and Fudler live.
The City Lord's Mansion is huge. Looking over from a high place, there are main halls, courtyards, cloisters, rockeries, green water, and countless courtyards connected together. It is impossible to tell where Li Xingzai lives.
Bai Yuanfei's mission is to spy on the intelligence here. As long as he can find out some information and return to Qinchuan Pass safely, he will have completed the mission. However, this is not what Bai Yuanfei wants. His purpose is to meet Li Xingzai and get a token from him
Go back. Only in this way can this mission be considered outstanding.
Li Xingzai's hiding place was still out of reach, so Bai Yuanfei was not in a hurry. He quietly got down along the pillar and sneaked into the kitchen of the city lord's mansion. Then he turned over and jumped onto the pillar.
Thieves are often described as timid, but timidity sometimes also means caution. They never lack patience if they want to steal something.
In order to steal something, he once hid in a gutter for three days, relying on the millet he brought with him to satisfy his hunger, reducing his body functions to the limit, enduring the filth and the rats that sometimes crawled over him, until he finally waited.
Chance.
Bai Yuanfei is a master in this way.
At dawn, the bodies of the guards under the city were discovered. Reports were made at all levels, and finally reported to Song Bokang. Song Bokang was also a very cautious person. The current Li Xingzai can be called a rare commodity, and no one can imagine how valuable he will be in the future. Therefore.
, Song Bokang had to be cautious, and sent extra manpower both inside and outside the city to prevent any accidents from happening to Li Xingzai.
When the incident happened, Song Bokang immediately had a hunch that it was related to Li Xingzai. Someone sneaked into the city and wanted to rescue Li Xingzai. Then, Song Bokang launched a large-scale manhunt for the entire city. For a time, the city of Liangzhou was trembling with wind and thunder, and everything was covered with soldiers.
Song Bokang even paid a special visit to Li Xingzai. When he saw Li Xingzai appearing safely in front of him, he felt relieved.
It has to be said that Song Bokang's hospitality to Li Xingzai has always been good. Famous singers in Liangzhou City are sent here one after another. They pay for food, clothing, and servants. As long as Song Bokang can satisfy him, there will never be half a discount.
.
Song Bokang had his own thoughts. No one could predict what kind of person Li Xingzai would become in the future. He could not predict whether he would face the south or the north and become a great person. Even if he was a puppet emperor, a puppet emperor was still an emperor. If he treated him today
If he was wronged, he would bury the seeds of hatred in his heart, just waiting for revenge in the future. He would try his best to avoid this kind of thing from happening.
Similarly, there will be no unfair treatment in terms of living conditions, but in other matters, Song Bokang absolutely restricted Li Xingzai's freedom. For example, he was never allowed to meet with Fudler.
Li Xingzai was indeed placed under house arrest, but he showed no emotion towards such treatment.
He spends his days drinking and having fun with singing girls, lying among thousands of flowers, enjoying the beauty's rouge and powder, and is often drunk until he loses consciousness.
Many people who had seen this scene shook their heads. Before he became the emperor, Li Xingzai showed the temperament of a faint king. If one day he takes charge of the world, he will probably become a being on par with Jie and Zhou.
Of course, a mediocre and incompetent waste is more suitable to be a puppet and is easier to control.
This is what Song Bokang, including Cui Xiangle, the man behind Song Bokang, saw.
But few people can understand the anguish deep in Li Xingzai's heart.
Since the fire, he and Fudler have been detained separately. Li Xingzai and Fudler have been together for a long time. The two wandered together, stole from each other, and deceived people together. They did these things together, and a lot of things have happened.
A deep tacit understanding. This sudden separation left Li Xingzai alone, as helpless as if he had lost an arm.
All problems must be solved by himself.
Moreover, Li Xingzai is now under strict surveillance. In the courtyard where he lives, the servants, chefs, gardeners, including the singer who accompanies him every day, are all from Song Bokang. Even Li Xingzai has at least two pairs of eyes when he sleeps every day.
Look at him.
If Li Xingzai could grow wings from his ribs, he could leave here, but unfortunately he doesn't have Cheng Dalei's ability to fly like a colorful phoenix.
The only thing Li Xingzai could do was to spend a lot of time and alcohol to deceive his enemies, hoping that the other party would relax their vigilance.
The more indulgent he acted in front of outsiders, the more depressed he felt inside. Being locked up here, he lost all his freedom and the news about Chang'an City.
In Chang'an City now, something big could happen every minute. Not to mention that as an imperial prince, even as a human son, he should share his father's worries. But all Li Xingzai can do is to be locked up here.
Therefore, he indulged in sensuality, on the one hand, with the intention of paralyzing the enemy, and on the other hand, he may not be in the mood to drink to drown his sorrows.
The night was long, and the more wine he drank, the less likely he was to get drunk. Li Xingzai lay naked on the bed, staring at the high roof, and beside him lay the woman who was going to bed tonight.
Under strict surveillance, Li Xingzai could not show any emotion in front of outsiders. He could only stare at the roof in a daze night after night, waiting for dawn to arrive.
He is like a giant dragon tied to the dragon-breaking platform. Although the noble dragon blood flows in his body and he can control the wind and rain, and turn rivers and seas upside down, he is tied to a pillar and cannot move.
There was a creaking sound, the window was pushed open a crack, and a bamboo tube poked in, blowing in smoke.
Li Xingzai's eyes were already a little heavy. He struggled a few times and suddenly felt a soaked handkerchief covering his face. When he woke up, he saw a black shadow standing in front of him.
Covered in filth and smelling disgusting, he opened his eyes wide and finally recognized Bai Yuanfei.
Bai Yuanfei had not been to Qinchuan Pass for a long time, and he and Li Xingzai were not familiar with each other. Under the current circumstances, they looked a little strange to each other.
"It's you?"
"Okay, okay." Bai Yuanfei waved his hand: "Can you put your clothes on first and then talk? It's very unsightly."
