Although there are not many people coming and going on weekdays, it is common to see pedestrians on the road quietly and strangely. In the distance, someone is looking at the intersection, and only the shadows of people in the dense forest can be seen disappearing and appearing.
Fan Feng's heart sank. Alang's guess was confirmed. Sure enough, someone was staring at Zhuangzi.
Without moving forward or even seeing someone groping outside, Fan Feng immediately turned around and left, finding Zhou Xin who had returned by the Jing River.
Zhou Xin is a bit small and thin, so he is not suitable for fighting in battle, but he is very clever. He was specially selected by Fan Shiyi to be responsible for the liaison between Fan Feng and Sun Moon Lake. He was placed in Dongshan Restaurant last year and lives there on weekdays. East Market.
"The entrance to the village is not good. There are people guarding it and no one is leaving." Fan Feng said in a low voice: "I guess the village has also noticed it. I wonder if they will send people out..."
"Unlikely." Zhou Xin relatively knew more about the inside story. "Alang has already told us that in the event of an incident, the guards and young men will retreat to Dongshan Temple to wait for King Qin to return to the capital. What's more, Alang was summoned to the palace yesterday. I'm just afraid..."
Fan Feng knew what Zhou Xin meant. Now Su Dingfang and Liu Hei'er in Zhuangzi did not know that Li Shan had escaped from danger, nor did they know what happened in Chang'an. After all, Li Shan was summoned to the palace and did not return all night. If something happened, It is difficult to have a chance to escape, so Zhuangzi probably chose to defend tightly instead of actively exploring outside.
This is the most appropriate choice. After all, under normal circumstances, no matter what happens in Chang'an, as long as you can defend Sun Moon Lake or Dongshan Temple and wait for King Qin to return to the capital, everything will be fine... But who would have thought that King Qin might have arrived in Chang'an soon? .
"Where is the south?" Fan Feng did not dare to waste time.
"No, it used to be a racecourse over there. I just touched it...all of them were strangers." Zhou Xin cursed in a low voice, "It's a good chance we were detained."
After a pause, Zhou Xin added: "But there are not many people, only five or six of us. One of us is outside and the other is in. Maybe we can sneak into Zhuangzi."
"No!" Fan Feng immediately objected, "We can't take risks."
The reason why he wanted to enter Zhuangzi and inform his mistress and Duke Zhao that Alang was fine was secondary. Fan Feng's main purpose was to communicate information. He could have sent his personal guards to intercept King Qin. Not to mention other people, just Su Dingfang's intervention was enough. I won the trust of King Qin.
But if you want to take the risk, it's not worth it, because there is no guarantee that Fan Feng and Zhou Xin will be captured by mistake... And now Li Shan is still traveling across mountains and rivers, and currently only Fan Feng and Zhou Xin are available, and they are Everyone has their own tasks.
After hearing Fan Feng's explanation, Zhou Xin stopped insisting. He was relatively familiar with Zhuangzi and whispered: "You can go around from the back mountain to the outside of Dongshan Temple, but it's very far. It takes about more than an hour."
Fan Feng hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, who knows when King Qin will arrive in Beijing?"
Zhou Xin couldn't help but nod in agreement. If King Qin happened to enter the capital when he left, something would be bad.
"Let's follow Alang's instructions." Fan Feng made up his mind, "I immediately set off for Xianyang County and asked Chi Gong, Duke of Wu, to send his own guards to intercept the King of Qin even if he cannot raise an army."
"You rush to Baqiao or Changlepo. These two places are the only way for King Qin to return to the capital. You must intercept King Qin."
"good."
Fan Feng grabbed Zhou Xin's sleeve and whispered: "Alang escaped from the palace last night. The East Palace must be alert and may set up ambushes in Baqiao and Changlepo. If something goes wrong, don't take the risk."
Zhou Xin's eyes flickered, "But we must also warn..."
"That's right," Fan Feng gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the King of Qin notices something is wrong, he will definitely not enter the capital...at least not the palace."
After discussing the details, the two separated, one heading to the east toward Changlepo and Baqiao, the other to the west toward Xianyang County, one trying to intercept the King of Qin, and the other trying to persuade Yuchi Gong, who had three thousand elite troops.
At this moment, Li Shan was still moving forward with difficulty, but he was able to persevere despite being tired. After all, this was his mental state. In his previous life, as an orthopedic surgeon, he often performed long and intensive surgeries, so he could still hold on.
The key point is that she is hungry. She is really hungry. She didn't eat much at noon yesterday. Cui Shiniang ate a bowl. Zhu immediately asked the maid to clean it up. Li Shan didn't even eat...Zhu was afraid that her daughter-in-law would eat it. too much.
He didn't eat last night, so Li Shan originally thought about going to the palace to have a meal... He was already hungry after staying up all night, so he took a bunch of copper coins from Fan Feng in the morning, but the problem is that Chang'an City is still prosperous in the north. , the south is desolate, and there are no people there. Li Shan can't buy food even with copper coins.
The further he walked, the heavier his steps felt. Li Shan just endured it and walked all the way to the south of the city. Finally, he saw a few wine shops beside Yong'an Canal.
A pot of wine, two plates of food, five steamed buns... Li Shan felt a little guilty, and he didn't know if the string of copper coins in his arms was enough to pay the bill. Over the years, he had always been surrounded by personal guards when he went out, so it was not his turn to pay. , so I don’t have the habit of bringing money.
After eating a steamed bun and drinking a glass of wine, Li Shan began to speculate on the current situation. Something strange must have been discovered at Sun Moon Lake. What would Su Dingfang and Liu Heier do?
If my father-in-law still goes to the Yamen today, it will be screwed. Pei Shiju will not let go of this bargaining chip... This guy's target has never been the King of Qin, but only himself. Cui Xin is a very heavy bargaining chip.
Can Fan Feng enter Sun Moon Lake?
If not, he should be on the way to Xianyang County now. Would Yuchi Gong have raised an army if he didn't see the half piece of jade pendant?
The most important thing is, can Zhou Xin intercept King Qin?
In other words, where is Li Shimin now... This guy can't be vigilant at all, right?
Suddenly, Li Shan shuddered and decided not to think too much. Every time he felt that he had made the most reasonable choice and every step was correct, but in the end...
When I fled south from Xiabo, I made every choice for a reason, but I was unlucky every time. I hope I won't make the same mistake again this time.
But after a while, Li Shanfa gritted his teeth fiercely. Even if he was betting, even if he was on behalf of the land, even if he had a crow's mouth, I would survive every desperate situation, and turn defeat into victory every time, and this time would be no exception!
After clearing away the two plates of food and the remaining steamed buns, Li Shan comforted himself in his heart, maybe Li Shimin noticed something was wrong and would be punished by his fate... He didn't return to Beijing at all!
"Twenty-five coins?" Li Shan counted what he had in his hand. After counting it three times, there were still only twelve copper coins.
The difference was almost double. Li Shan glanced at the clerk who looked not very good, and guessed that the store would not accept credit.
The waiter turned around and was about to greet someone. There was someone here who wanted to eat the Overlord meal... Li Shan suddenly ran out of the restaurant and left.
