There was a dull pain in the back of her head, and her body was as cold as being immersed in an ice pool in the cold winter. Li Qingyi curled up subconsciously, trying to save some warmth, but the chill seemed to wrap around her from the inside out, making it difficult to dispel.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes vigorously. After adjusting to the light, she realized that there were two people lying next to her. Judging from the outline of their clothes, they should be Changning Changlan.
"Changning! Changlan!"
She called a few times, and the two of them responded. When they woke up, they touched their swords as soon as possible, but found that their waists were empty, and then they remembered that the weapons had been taken away.
Changlan saw that Li Qingyi was awake and asked quickly: "Grandma, are you okay?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "Why are you here too?"
"Grandma was kidnapped and left the house. We then led people to chase her. However, someone came to help Gongsun Yi and the guards were killed. The two of us knew we were outmatched, so we simply surrendered. At least we could stay with grandma and adapt to changes."
"Are you injured? How are you? Is the injury serious?" She was kidnapped by Gongsun Yi and left the house. After getting on the horse, Gongsun Yi was afraid that she would make a move, so he knocked her unconscious, so she had no idea what happened next. What happened.
Chang Ning said: "The flesh trauma will not kill us. It's just that Gongsun Yi gave the two of us medicine. The medicine has similar properties to the medicine Miss Xie gave him to suppress internal energy. Now we can't use our internal energy. We were thrown into this ice cellar just now. , without inner protection, and was injured and lost blood, so he fainted from the cold."
"Ice cellar? No wonder I feel cold all over."
She stood up and looked around, but because the light was too dim, she couldn't see anything clearly.
In a daze, Chang Ning had already taken out a mini version of the fire stick from his clothes and lit it.
Chang Lan said "Hey", "Where are you hiding? You haven't been searched? Everything on me is gone."
Chang Ning had just recovered from an old injury, but had a new injury, and her spirit was a little sluggish, but that didn't stop her from still being wretched. She smiled and patted her chest, "I hid here and escaped the search."
Changlan looked disgusted, "You didn't learn it from a story book, did you?"
Chang Ning smiled proudly, "Those who wrote the storybooks have abnormal minds and have all kinds of outrageous ideas, but they are not all useless. This method of hiding small fires in the chest is what I learned from the storybooks. "
The corner of Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, and he held back a sentence for a long time, "...Not bad, live and learn."
The three of them used this miniature fire to illuminate their surroundings and checked their surroundings.
The ice cellar is neither big nor small, with ice cubes everywhere and nothing else.
"The exit should be above, but the fire is too small and can't shine that high."
Li Qingyi looked at the ice cubes around him, "We can build up these ice blocks and climb up, but the exit must be guarded. Let's not act rashly. The most important thing we need to determine now is the location of the ice cellar. Otherwise, even if we get out of the ice cellar, nothing will happen." Even if there are countermeasures, you can’t escape.”
The two girls nodded.
Li Qingyi asked them, "When you came, did you notice how far Gongsun Yi had gone and in what direction?"
Changlan said: "At that time, the two of us were tied up and thrown into the carriage. The servant could not tell the direction. But judging from the speed and time of the carriage, we drove about as far as the palace to Li's house, and we were halfway There are three turns.”
Li Qingyi listened to Chang Lan's story in surprise, and once again sighed at the sharp ears and eyes of Qin Zeng's information guard. He somewhat understood why he wanted to send an information guard to his side. It was really useful.
She looked at Chang Ning again, a little curious about what Qin Zeng liked in this little girl when he transferred Chang Ning to her side.
Changlan said: "After Gongsun Yi took you out of the palace, the slaves chased him and met his rescuer three lanes away. The man who came was very powerful. He should be fighting quickly and successfully defeating him. Gongsun Yi rescued Gongsun Yi and did not want to waste time with the two slaves, so Changning and I surrendered and said we would stay with grandma to take care of her. They exchanged looks with Gongsun Yi and agreed. After we entered the carriage, two horses took the lead. The reason for leaving should be to ensure Gongsun Yi's safety. The troops were divided into two groups. And we..."
She pulled Chang Ning's hand down and asked her to illuminate the ground. Then she drew a dot on the ground with her finger and said, "This is the back alley of the palace, and this direction is the Li family."
She drew a straight line between the palace and the Li family, and then drew a circle with it, saying, "We are at the position of this circle."
Li Qingyi looked at the circle thoughtfully and pointed to the east: "There are mostly common people in this direction. Looking at the size of this ice cellar, if it is privately owned by the house, it would have to be at least five courtyards, which is unlikely. And the direction of the palace to the south , many of them are rich and wealthy, but all of them have a good reputation, a name and a surname. Even if they are in the same party with Princess Zhenbei, they will not hide me, the eldest grandson-in-law of Princess Zhenbei, at the risk of being exposed. "
"That leaves two directions: west and north."
Chang Lan pointed to the circled position in the west and said, "Actually, I have a guess."
Li Qingyi looked at the location she pointed at and narrowed his eyes, "Shenxiang Rouge Shop?"
Changlan nodded: "My servant went out to check this place for my grandma before. I learned that the rouge shop was going to buy raw materials. At that time, I took a special look at the terrain here. Without taking the wrong path, the carriage kept moving forward, regardless of the direction. No matter which alley you pass through, you will have to change directions three times from the Wang Mansion to the Deep Fragrance Rouge Shop."
Li Qingyi remembered what Chang Lan had just said that when she was on the carriage, she felt the carriage turn three times.
"So, we are most likely at the Shenxiang Rouge Shop, but this place has been targeted by us. How can Gongsun Yi still dare to come here? Unless..." Li Qingyi's scalp was numb, "Lin is here too!"
"Ah?" Changning was surprised, "Didn't she follow the caravan out of the city?"
Li Qingyi's palms were a little sweaty. "Before I left, the uncle told me not to come to the Shenxiang Rouge Shop to check. He said that Nanzhu was probably a deception left by the Lin family. The purpose was to reveal the Shenxiang Rouge Shop and lead me here. Now it seems that not only Nanzhu was a cover, but the caravan was also a cover, and Lin didn’t leave at all!”
"She is so brave? How dare she stay in the capital?"
"She must have some way to ensure that she is not captured. Moreover, she has a mission, how can she escape easily..." Li Qingyi felt that the matter was too difficult, "I don't know if the uncle has discovered it now, I'm just afraid, Lin The person you want to target is not me, but him..."
******
Thirty miles away from Yuzhou City, Song Yang, the eldest son of Marquis Yongping, and Changze escorted the guilty minister Mu Rencheng to this place. They would reach the capital in five days.
Today it is Song Yang's turn to take people into the city to buy rice.
Nagasawa said: "Little Marquis, why don't I go down there."
Song Yang waved his hand, "Why, you still don't trust me?"
Nagasawa was indeed a little worried. Song Yang had an out-of-control temperament. He had been holding back his temper while marching along the way. He was already choking hard. Seeing that he was approaching the capital, he could not help but relax. This was a normal human psychology, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly. He only said: "Young Master has worked hard all the way, and his subordinates are thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It's time for them to run more legs."
Song Yang smiled and said: "Okay, I know what you mean, so don't worry. I will never do anything extraordinary. I will come back after buying food with my two brothers."
Nagasawa had no choice but to point to the two steady-tempered men and go with Song Yang.
Song Yang picked up the water bag, took a sip of water, and threw it to Nagaze, "Let's go!"
Yuzhou City is not a small city, but it is still far behind the capital. However, Song Yangfeng has been sleeping rough for a month, and such a small city is enough to excite him.
If Nagasawa doesn't let him do this or that, he can't let him eat something good, right?
Along the way, Song Yang was thinking about squirrel mandarin fish, grilled quail, sweet-scented osmanthus cake...
Walking to the gate of the city, many people gathered around to read the notices on the wall. Song Yang took a curious look and found out that he was a flower-picking thief, not just one person but a group. He not only "picked flowers" but also "sold flowers". It was extremely hateful and disgusting. , the people were talking and cursing. Especially those with daughters at home. When they heard that the flower-picking thieves had arrived in Yuzhou City, they were discussing whether to go to relatives' homes to take shelter.
The two men following behind saw Song Yang's interest and quickly reminded him: "Little Marquis, please don't create extraneous matters."
Song Yang sighed and muttered: "I just took a look, and I didn't say to catch the flower-picking thief..."
The three of them went all the way to the rice and grain shop and bought enough food for the last few days. The two followers reminded Song Yang to go back quickly.
Song Yang said: "Aren't we going out to buy food? I haven't finished shopping yet! Let's go to the restaurant in front and order some side dishes to take away!"
If you can’t eat hard dishes, it’s a good idea to buy some side dishes to satisfy your cravings!
The attendant heard that he was going to take it home to eat, and thought it wouldn't take long, so he left it to him.
Then Song Yang found a restaurant, ordered four side dishes and asked the waiter to wait. He walked to the door to get some air, but vaguely heard a sharp woman crying in the distance!
Song Yang was startled. He couldn't really meet the flower-picking thief, right?
He moved subconsciously and then stepped back. He couldn't cause trouble. Escorting Mu Rencheng was a big deal!
But the woman's cries in his ears became more and more desperate. Song Yang turned around in a circle, thinking that it wouldn't take long to fight off a gangster for that girl!
After practicing with his father on the battlefield for a period of time, Song Yang's kung fu improved a lot. He ran up the wall in two steps, took advantage of the momentum to get on a roof, surveyed the nearby terrain, and flew in the direction of the woman's cry. past.
Not long after, a man's rude voice came into my ears, "If you are sold into a brothel in the future, you will not be a bitch who can do everything. Why are you being pretentious now? Serve me well, and I will reward you with a good meal!" "
With a cold expression on his face, Song Yang climbed up the big tree outside the courtyard along the roof wall, and looked into the courtyard from behind the tree full of autumn leaves.
I saw a ferocious man with a sinister face grabbing a delicate girl in a blue shirt. The girl's dress dragged on the dusty ground, covered in dust, and the original color could hardly be seen.
Her hair had long fallen down and was being held by the big man in his hand.
