After the convoy left, dead silence returned to the foot of the mountain, but there were three more people in the empty pavilion, one sitting and two standing, both of them silent, as if they were waiting for someone.
Not long after, a few very low footsteps sounded outside the pergola, faintly, getting closer and closer.
The three people suddenly raised their heads, with wary expressions on their faces, and looked directly outside. The two people standing had their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists.
The atmosphere was as tense as a cold sword about to be unsheathed, and the sword was about to explode.
The visitor stopped for a moment outside the pergola and tapped the bamboo pole four times in a very regular manner.
The three people in the pergola heard the knocking sound, looked at each other, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
The person who came was none other than the man who had followed the convoy into the mountains. He was thin, agile, and moved as fast as the wind. He moved all the way in and out of the mountains without alerting the Yulin Army and the mysterious group of people stationed in the mountains. convoy.
The man walked briskly into the pergola, saluted the person sitting there and said, "Wooden Holy Envoy."
It turned out that the man sitting there was Li Sheng, Xie Liangzhan's confidant. For some reason, in just a few months, he lost the high spirits he had when he was on Longyou Road. He looked much thinner and a little depressed. Only those eyes were still shining brightly.
Li Sheng looked at the visitor, nodded and said, "Du Feng, tell me the situation."
Du Feng bowed slightly and spoke respectfully: "Returning to the Holy Envoy, there are Yulin troops guarding everywhere on the mountain. The convoy just now looks different from the Yulin army's dress, but the convoy reached halfway up the mountain. When the water bandits were originally on guard duty, they unloaded the truck together with the Yulin army stationed in the yard, and then transported the contents of the truck up the mountain."
Li Sheng concentrated for a moment: "What's in the car?"
Du Feng pursed his lips: "I don't dare to get too close because I can't see clearly."
Li Sheng tapped his fingers lightly on his knees, his face was a little solemn, and he said thoughtfully: "Looking at the posture of the Yulin army, they must be coming to attack Qingyun Village, but how could they come to attack Qingyun Village at this time? Yulin The army is the personal guard of the saint, so he must be acting under the orders of the saint. Is there anything in Qingyun Village that even the saint is worried about?"
Du Feng didn't know what was going on. He looked up at Li Sheng and did not answer rashly.
However, one of the people standing behind Li Sheng said impatiently: "No matter what the emperor wants, the Mu Sheng Envoy should think carefully about how to get those people out of Qingyun Village. If there is any further delay, If you go down and ruin the young master's important affairs, even if Mu Shengshi has made great achievements before, the young master will not be able to forgive him."
After hearing this, Li Sheng still looked as usual and tapped his knees with his fingers, without any change.
Du Feng lowered his head and lowered his eyes, hiding a hint of shock and anger in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Li Sheng said slowly and calmly: "Then let's go, avoid these Yulin troops and go around from behind."
The two people behind Li Sheng looked at each other, and the person who spoke just now continued to say coldly: "Then listen to the Holy Envoy and let's go."
The four people cleaned up the traces in the pergola, and the two people walked out together. However, Li Sheng and Du Feng looked at each other calmly, fell a few steps behind them, and covered their mouths and noses in unison.
As soon as the two people walked out of the pergola, a layer of pale mist suddenly hit their faces. The two of them were just stunned for a moment, and then they fell limp and fainted on the ground.
Li Sheng waved his sleeves to ward off the remaining mist, kicked the two of them again, and then slowly walked out of the pergola and sneered at the empty outside: "Your Excellency, it is indeed a good trick! !”
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Changmu walked out of the thick darkness of the night, stood with his hands behind his back, tilted his head and looked at Li Sheng with a smile: "It's not as good as the Mu Sheng envoy's betrayal method."
Li Sheng's face finally darkened, and he snorted coldly: "To be clear, I will only take you into the village, and for other things, everyone will do it according to their abilities."
Han Changmu stretched out his sleeves and smiled disapprovingly: "That's natural. We can't let the Wooden Saint really have no place to stand."
Li Sheng couldn't hold back any longer, his calm expression was shattered inch by inch, his face turned livid with anger, he threw down his sleeves heavily, and cursed: "The Commander-in-Chief is still interested in making sarcastic remarks here, it seems he is not in a hurry."
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows and smiled casually: "So someone is offended?"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and Wang Xian and two secret guards rushed forward and tied Li Sheng and the four people tightly.
After half a stick of incense, the two people woke up and saw Han Changmu who was calm and composed. Then they turned around and saw Li Sheng and Du Feng who were unconscious. Then they heard Han Changmu report himself with a dead look on his face. Behind the door, his expression suddenly changed.
These two people had no real ability, and their success in front of Xie Liang was all due to their good words. They thought they were just going up the mountain to pick up someone. Who would have thought that there would be a time when their lives would be hanging by a thread.
Faced with such a situation, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. Their minds were so confused that they couldn't think of anything to suspect.
After all, in their previous experiences, it didn't matter whether they knew how to work hard or whether they could get things done. As long as they had a eloquent and smooth-tongued mouth, they could make things happen or rain or shine.
But now, the two of them were gagged. It was obvious that their good words had become a decoration, and only one life was left.
The two of them almost unanimously made up their minds, and they could not spare their lives. Almost at the moment when the smelly footwear that was used to gag them was torn away, they unanimously and unanimously, without waiting for Han Changmu to ask, poured beans from a bamboo tube. Everything you know, hear, and guess is all explained.
The two of them talked for a cup of tea before they stopped. Their mouths were dry and their faces were pale.
There has never been an easier interrogation than this one. The more Han Changmu listened, the more frightened he became.
He met Li Sheng by chance on his way back here. He didn't have time to say anything, but just glanced at each other and he could tell that Li Sheng wanted to ask for something.
Although he didn't know what happened, the direction Li Sheng and his party were walking was also the direction of Qingyun Village.
He followed along, but he didn't expect to break such a big secret.
He pressed the corners of his lips, suppressed the smile that he couldn't hide, nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Li Sheng and the two who were still pretending to be unconscious, and sneered, "In that case, then... Please go to the Internal Security Department with me, and I will save you from worrying about things you shouldn't."
The two of them shuddered together. They knew very well that the punishments in the Department of Internal Security were terrible, but they had indeed confessed everything. Even if all the punishments were used on them, they would not be able to inflict them even if they wanted to. It's a big deal.
If this is the case, will they still survive?
The two of them looked at Han Changmu in fear, feeling as if they wanted to faint and never wake up.
Han Changmu raised his eyebrows, smiled sadly, and waved his hand.
The two looked at each other in horror. Their lives should be safe for the time being, but they didn't know what they would suffer in the future.
The footwear was so smelly that it almost made people suffocate.
Wang Xian stepped forward with a serious look on his face, shook out a colorless and frayed handkerchief from his sleeve, and covered their faces mercilessly.
Within a short time, the two of them fell into endless coma again, but this time the dose of the drug was much heavier than before, enough to support them and send them back to the capital's Internal Security Department to be imprisoned.
Hearing the movement next to them, Li Sheng and Li Sheng woke up in time, turned to look at the two men, and sarcastically said with half a smile: "If you wake up halfway and run away, then it means that the commander's skills are not as good as others."
Han Changmu raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Sheng lightly.
This medicine was prepared by Yao Yao himself. He has never seen anything better than this.
It's just that her prescription was covered up like a burial object brought into the coffin. He even coaxed and deceived her, but he only got some finished products and an incomplete prescription.
Han Changmu turned to look at the several secret guards who had followed him, and said in a low voice: "The four of you, escort these two people back to the capital overnight." He paused and said calmly: "Don't send them to the Internal Security Department. Send him back to the mansion and give him to Jinyu to be imprisoned."
Several secret guards looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "Your Majesty, I cannot leave you alone here."
Hearing this, Wang Xian rolled his eyes secretly, as if he was not a human being.
Han Changmu said softly and resolutely: "No, just escort these two people back. I still have Wang Xian here."
"Yes, yes, there is still me. I will definitely protect you." Wang Xian said hurriedly.
Several secret guards looked at Wang Xian with disdain, their eyes showing full contempt.
Wang Xian shrank his neck, and suddenly felt that his big words were too early. With his little effort, it was a great achievement to be able to protect himself and not hold him back.
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of my subordinates to protect the Crown Prince. I cannot leave." Several secret guards knelt down in unison and kowtowed their heads so loudly that it hurt.
Li Sheng couldn't listen anymore, rolled his eyes and curled his lips.
By saying this, Han Changmu seemed to be going up the mountain of knives and into the sea of fire. If these secret guards didn't follow, they wouldn't be able to prepare the coffin boards in time.
The sneer on his face was even stronger.
They traveled around the country and never did anything without putting their heads in their belts. Every time they went out to run errands, they never saw anyone so pretentious.
Li Sheng really couldn't stand the hesitant and hesitant behavior of such a wealthy family, so he let go of the rope, stared at Han Changmu's face, and said impatiently: "Why don't you, Sir, make arrangements first? Let’s go up the mountain first.”
"No need." Han Changmu turned his head suddenly, with an angry look on his usually calm face, and ordered in a cold voice that did not allow for refutation: "If you don't want to leave, just go back to Jiannan Road."
