It is sad that the ruins are broken at the end of autumn, and the deep dew of autumn has turned into frost.
It was nearly September 8th, and the white dew had arrived.
Since Quexie took over Dongdu, both the soldiers stationed on Yongqiao Avenue at the south gate and the defense facilities at the east gate of the town have become more complete than when Wu Yeqi was there before.
Even in the past few days, Yun Yichen had led his troops out of the city and forced back all the Northern Yan King's subordinates who had feinted to attack the east gate of the town.
The counterattacks of this leader of the Eight Quexie Generals slowed down the attack on Zhendong Gate to a certain extent, and also prevented King Beiyan's army from being able to harass them at will like before.
Such changes forced both Li Yanhe and Jun Feiyu to deal with it cautiously.
In their opinion, Quexie was deliberately stalling for time to buy time for Wu Yeqi to return to Xijing to aid.
If Chu Xu and his people successfully return to the capital, Yun Yichen, who is guarding the eastern capital, will no longer have any restraints.
At that time, no one would dare to imagine what kind of crazy actions this evil leader of the Eight Generals, who took the initiative to get into deep trouble and was determined to die, could do!
Faced with such a severe situation, those on the side of Yijian Villa also began to secretly prepare for their uprising.
At this moment, the time is ripe. It is time for the internal intelligence who has been hiding in Dongdu since Xue Tang went north to take action.
In order to ensure that the operation was sufficiently secretive, Qing Lan and Ye Dangting conspired to secretly send a dozen disciples led by Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi out of the camp.
But when Lin Manliu and others had walked more than ten miles out of the camp, they saw two people waiting on the side of the mountain road.
When the young man took a closer look, it was Ning Ke and Yan Farewell!
When Lin Manliu discovered the two of them, Ning Ke also glanced at the bushes where the disciples of Yijian Villa were hiding.
Ning Ke shouted: "Now that we are here, there is no need to hide anymore!"
Lin Manliu walked out of the forest alone and said aloud: "I don't know, Commander Yan and Mr. Ning Xiao are here, but they want to block the boy's way?"
Having said that, the young man began to secretly review it in his heart.
How could Ning Ke and Yanbie know about their plan? Could it be that Jiang Xu sent the message to them?
Lin Manliu had indeed stated before that there was an internal agent from Yijian Villa in Mingdong Capital, but how did Jiang Xu figure it out at this moment...
Could it be that Ning Ke communicated with him and evacuated Wu Yeqi, but Que Xie informed him about taking over the guard.
Ning Ke shouldn't act like this, and Jiang Xu shouldn't be able to guess so many...
When Yanbie saw that neither of them had any intention to continue speaking, he could only clasp his fists and say, "Yan was invited by Mr. Ning Xiao to help Yijian Villa sneak into the city!"
Lin Manliu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'd like to thank Commander Yan for helping me, but there's something I need you to explain to Ning Ke. How did you know where we're going?"
It's not that he can't trust Ning Ke, but that he can't trust Jiang Xu who may be related to her.
At this moment, these things must be explained clearly, and we can no longer fall for the trap of the eldest son of the Jiang family.
Ning Ke guessed what the young man was thinking, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Jiang Xu. There is someone else who learned that Yijian Villa has taken action..."
Does anyone still know about Senior Brother Shen? !
When it was revealed that there was an internal agent in the Eastern Capital, even the leading guard did not know the existence of Senior Brother Shen. He was one of Wang Zhong's most powerful confidants.
Lin Manliu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Ke, who looked back with a look that looked like a fool.
He asked aloud: "Ning Ke, can you state the identity of the person you informed?"
Ning Ke didn't think much about it and refused directly.
"No!"
Lin Manliu said calmly: "That boy has no choice but to decline your kindness today..."
This made Ning Ke furious. She clenched the folding fan in her hand, pointed it directly at Lin Manliu's nose and cursed loudly.
"Lin Manliu! You guys just need to remember that there is someone above me! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Ning Ke, Ning Ke...who is the person behind you?
Lin Manliu turned his head and looked to the north. Standing here, he could vaguely see the south gate tower of Dongdu at the end of the forest.
The young man said: "Then let's go together, but after entering the city, you must follow my arrangements... Do you understand?"
Ning Ke rolled his eyes at the young man and responded angrily: "Okay, okay, our hero Lin should lead the way!"
Lin Manliu did not respond. After bowing to Yanbie, he led the disciples of Yijian Villa towards the southwest of Dongdu.
After Yanbie and Ning Ke looked at each other, the two of them followed the crowd and moved forward together.
...
Under the leadership of Lin Manliu, the group first passed through the Guangyang Gate of Dongdu in the dense forest, and then walked to a remote mountain road.
During this period, Ning Ke noticed that Lin Manliu had received a snow-white Gyrfalcon from a disciple of Yijian Villa.
After the young man scratched him, the gyrfalcon parked on his arm flew into the sky, hovering in the air for several weeks, and finally headed southwest.
The location they arrived at now was the location where the Gyrfalcon disappeared...
Ning Ke then secretly thought that Lin Manliu's actions just now might be sending a message to the eastern capital?
But now that there is a river blocking the road ahead, the fastest way in is from Guangyang Gate. What is the point of staying here?
Just as she was hesitating, two men in black, whose faces could not be seen clearly, came from the other end of the remote mountain road.
Both people's faces were covered with masks. The masks they used were extremely weird, as if they had flower petals attached to their faces.
One of them looked at Lin Manliu, who was directly in front of the crowd, and said, "Who is coming?"
Lin Manliu cupped his fists and said, "This boy is Lin Manliu from Yijian Villa. Are these two senior brothers Hua Jin and Wu Ji?"
The person who spoke did not respond in a hurry. He glanced at his companion beside him, and when he saw the other party nodded, he looked back at Lin Manliu's position.
"Why didn't Master Ye come in person?" he asked.
Lin Man said in six words: "Master Ye still needs to be in charge of the central army. This meeting can be left to the boy and the brothers behind him!"
After hearing the young man's explanation, the two masked men opposite him obviously lowered their guard.
The person who asked the question clasped his fists and shouted: "The flowers are gone!"
The man who had been silent all this time also spoke: "No plan!"
After Lin Manliu returned the gift to the two of them, he said: "That matter should not be delayed, so I will ask the two senior brothers to lead the way!"
Hua Jin gestured "please" to everyone and started walking towards the mountain road behind. Wuji paused on Lin Manliu for a while, then looked at Ning Ke and Yanbie at the back of the crowd. .
Wu Ji said casually: "If Junior Brother Lin will bring strangers with him during the next meeting, we need to inform him in advance!"
Lin Manliu smiled apologetically: "I was just worried that the order was wrong, causing the Gyrfalcon to send messages incorrectly. Please don't blame me, senior brother..."
Wu Ji shook his head, indicating that the young man didn't need to think too much, and then followed Hua Jin's pace.
Ning Ke actually listened to the conversation between the two.
She carefully watched the backs of Hua Jin and Wu Ji, feeling much more vigilant than before.
With just a short observation, you can clearly distinguish the people in the team. These two people are not simple...
Could it be that the two of them are the secret chess hidden by Yijian Villa in Dongdu?
But judging from the previous words between Lin Manliu and the two of them, they should have never met each other. It was even very possible that Lin Manliu was not sure that it was two people coming.
Lin Manliu seemed to feel the gaze from behind. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Ning Ke.
When the latter saw the young man's face looking towards her, he immediately turned his head and looked away.
Not long after this move, Lin Manliu felt a pain in his waist, and he quickly looked away.
Yue Hanzhi asked casually: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The two of them had the same mind and naturally understood that they were talking about a meeting. Lin Manliu quickly began to explain in words.
"The old liar and Mr. Qinglan discussed the matter before and gave me the Gyrfalcon's message transmission method to contact Senior Brother Shen who is hiding in the city..."
"The two people who appear here at this moment are two fellow comrades whom Senior Brother Shen met not long after he entered the Eastern Capital. This time there were wars and wars, so they worked together with Senior Brother Shen... .”
"So today, two senior brothers, Hua Jin and Wu Ji, will lead us into sneaking into the Eastern Capital City!"
Yue Hanzhi nodded and muttered something for no reason.
"It's a bit weird to get this name..."
Hua Ji, who was walking at the front of the crowd, had extremely keen hearing. As soon as Yue Hanzhi made a sound, he turned his head and looked behind him.
Lin Manliu hurriedly spoke out: "When I first received the message from Senior Brother Shen, I felt a little strange...two senior brothers..."
Before the boy could finish his words, the masked man who called himself "Hua Jin" sighed.
"Brother Shen came up with this as soon as he slapped his thigh. They all said that we should have a more mysterious name when we travel around the world. This way we can avoid a lot of trouble..."
Wuji, who was beside him, also muttered: "Isn't that right? At first, we were also having fun, always thinking that we could make some majestic, heroic names..."
Hua Jin sighed again and answered helplessly: "It turns out that our brother Shen has some ink in his belly. When he opens it, it becomes a poem..."
Wu Ji listened to Hua Jin's tone and sighed.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Yue Hanzhi became even more curious. What kind of name did Senior Brother Shen, whom Lin Manliu had mentioned before, give himself so that he could attract two friends who worked together? , so stated.
When Lin Manliu was discussing matters with the old liar and Qinglan a few days ago, he had seen the secret letter sent by Shen Yutong to Dongdu. The letter at that time only contained seven short words.
Spend all your money and save money...
Today he saw two people coming together, so he guessed their names.
And the remaining three words "Kan Can Hong" are naturally Shen Yutong himself.
When Lin Manliu and others walked to a fork in the mountain road, two carriages had already been parked among the trees.
He looked at the objects on the carriage, and could vaguely see that they were wooden barrels for hauling sewage in the city. He thought that this was the way for the group to enter the Eastern Capital.
