Seeing this, Shi Qinghuan and the others had no choice but to salute.
Jing Heng nodded lightly, looked at the three of them, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Are there any guests in the house?"
"yes."
"You can tell at a glance that the three of you are not ordinary people. Where do you come from?"
"Bei Clan of Xia Qianzhou, Beiyun, this is my fiancée, and this is my eldest brother-in-law."
As soon as the Qianzhou Bei Clan came out, Jing Heng's expression changed slightly, and his tone became gentler and more respectful, "It turns out to be Mr. Bei. The Qianzhou Bei Clan is the pillar of our country. I never expected that I would be able to see Bei here today because of the fate." Young Master.”
The Qianzhou Bei clan is naturally valued, because it supports half of the Yuexia Kingdom's treasury.
Bailiheng responded with a smile, "Your Highness is very polite. It is also an honor for us to meet His Highness."
"Okay, it's rare to meet you, and I see you hit it off, how about we have a drink together?"
"Okay, it's an honor for me, but they are both weak and tired from the journey, so let them go back and rest first."
"That's fine."
After that, Bailiheng followed Jing Heng to another courtyard, while Shi Qinghuan and Shi Qingyu left with the maid.
When they arrived in the courtyard and made sure that the maid had left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is there anything going on with him?"
Shi Qingyu asked, while Shi Qinghuan shook his head, "No, the Yuexia Kingdom is now in the midst of a struggle for power. No matter who it is, they will only politely win over people from the Qianzhou Bei Clan."
Shi Qinghuan thought about the scene just now, "Jing Heng just came out of Dongyuan, but he went to Xiyuan to drink again. He must have just seen Zhu Leyou coming out, so Zhu Leyou must be in Dongyuan."
"It's still early now, let's wait a little longer."
"good."
Time passed and night fell.
Bailiheng's ability to delay time has always been great. Shi Qinghuan and Shi Qingyu were also ready, taking advantage of the night to roll out from the courtyard wall.
There were many guards in the courtyard where Zhu Leyou was, but fortunately Shi Qinghuan had his own way.
After finding a place where the guards were weak and a blind spot, the two looked at each other. As soon as Shi Qinghuan's drug was taken out, Shi Qingyu dragged the person away, then put on his clothes and stood back to his original position.
Shi Qinghuan turned around and left. After changing his clothes, he entered the small kitchen behind the courtyard.
The maid in the kitchen was busy loading food into the food box. Shi Qinghuan quickly stepped forward and said, "Here, let me help you."
With a flick of his sleeves, the medicinal powder was sprinkled on the maid silently.
"Who are you?"
"I am Xiaoqing, the niece of Aunt Sun Lu. She recommended me to join the mansion when she returned to her hometown to get married. I just came here today."
"It turns out she's my aunt's niece. Where was she assigned to?"
"It's not decided yet. Auntie asked me to get familiar with the place. Don't delay my errand then. If not, I'll come over and take a look."
"Okay, in the future..."
"Are you all ready?"
The conversation was interrupted, Shi Qinghuan turned his head and saw a guard walking over.
"OK OK!"
The maid picked up the food box and was about to leave, but suddenly she covered her stomach.
"Oops, I suddenly have a stomachache."
"What should we do?"
"This is His Highness's errand, so we can't delay it any longer."
The maid thought for a while and then stuffed the food box into Shi Qinghuan's hand, "No, you can help me deliver it so that the girls in the waiting room can eat it. I'm going to..."
The maid couldn't help it and hurried forward, "Master, I'm feeling a little unwell. This is my sister. It's the same as asking her to send her off."
The guard glanced at Shi Qinghuan, who was so soft and cute, and didn't think much about it.
"Okay, come with me."
Shi Qinghuan lowered his head and followed behind him, all the way into the courtyard.
"Be more diligent."
"yes."
The guards were guarding the door, and Shi Qinghuan pushed the door open and went in.
"I told you, I won't eat anything, just take it all away!"
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zhu Leyou's voice.
Zhu Leyou seemed to be fine and was being treated preferentially.
Shi Qinghuan lowered his head and stepped forward. When he got close to Zhu Leyou, he leaned over.
"it's me!"
"you..."
Shi Qinghuan signaled her to be silent, and then took out the food one by one, "Girl, it's time to eat!"
"Oh, I'm actually hungry, that's all, just eat!"
The two acted, deliberately making some noises of dishes.
Then he said softly, "Why are you here? Are you okay, what about him?"
"He's fine, just outside."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Leyou's eyes lit up, "He is outside, is he here to save me?"
"Yes, without further ado, without further ado, here we go..."
After a while, the door was opened, and the little maid lowered her head and followed the guard away.
After some time, the door was opened again, and Shi Qinghuan, wearing Zhu Leyou's clothes, crawled out in embarrassment.
"No, that girl knocked me out and went out wearing my clothes!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately panicked, summoned all the guards, and hurriedly chased him.
There was no one in the courtyard for a moment, Shi Qinghuan got up and left.
On the other side, Jing Heng, who heard the commotion, hurried out and listened to the guard's report. He became angry at first, and after arranging a city-wide search, his eyes turned and fell on Baili Heng.
Things are too coincidental.
He turned around and walked to Bailiheng's side, "Mr. Bei, I have a lot of fun today, but we are friends after all. I should also go and say hello to your fiancée and her brother."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
"That's not possible. The etiquette cannot be broken. Moreover, more than half a day has passed. They should have a rest. Let's go."
Not allowing Bailiheng to refuse, Jingheng turned around and walked towards the yard where Shi Qinghuan was.
Bailiheng naturally understood what he meant and followed him back to the courtyard.
The house was brightly lit, but empty.
Jing Heng's expression darkened, "Where have Mr. Bei's people gone?"
His expression was gloomy, and just when Bailiheng was thinking about how to answer, a voice sounded from one side.
"Huh? The Third Prince is here?"
Looking at the source of the sound, I saw two figures sitting on the roof, drinking wine and smiling.
Shi Qingyu flew over with Shi Qinghuan and immediately greeted Jing Heng.
Jing Heng waved his hand lightly, "You guys have been up there?"
"Yes, the moonlight is just right, so my brother and I have some leisure time, but what happened in this mansion? It's so lively."
"Oh, there was a thief, it's not a big deal. In that case, you all can have a good rest. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Your Highness, walk slowly."
Jing Heng walked out of the courtyard and asked the guards on the side.
"Were they always on the roof?"
"When we chased people through here, they were on the roof."
Hearing this, Jing Heng nodded, "Let's go!"
But now in the courtyard, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jing Heng leaving.
After making eye contact, they turned and entered the house.
"Where are the people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure came out from the corner, it was Zhu Leyou.
The clothes on his body were exactly the same as Shi Qinghuan's. Looking at his figure in the dark, it was impossible to tell who was who.
Just as the guard saw the two people on the roof, it was not Shi Qinghuan but Zhu Leyou.
It would be extremely difficult to escape from the magistrate's mansion and then escape from the city at this time, so it would be better to stay here.
With Qianzhou Bei's presence, Jing Heng did not dare to search the courtyard at will.
Coupled with the evidence just now, he should also let down his guard.
The four of them sat down and Bailiheng looked at Zhu Leyou, "What is going on?"
