After a day of shopping and getting up early, Liu Qi stayed in his room to rest for almost the entire afternoon.
But this was what others thought. In fact, Liu Qi had woken up long ago.
At this time, he was standing at the back window, staring at the horse pen for a long time.
It's not that there's anything special about it, it's just that this groom is quite interesting, he can actually read.
During this period, someone brought him a piece of paper and wrote down how much fodder each horse should feed. He checked and distributed the fodder to the horses one by one.
This groom is a bit interesting.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly, there was a sound on the door, and Qin Wei's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
"Come in, I'm not asleep."
After Qin Wei entered the house, he looked outside cautiously and then closed the door.
"Your Highness, Skylin is here. He is downstairs. He wants me to ask you when you plan to have the dinner."
"Aren't the Fourth Prince and the others still there?"
Qin Wei shook his head.
"No, there is no movement at the moment. My subordinate is thinking that he might arrive late at night."
Liu Qi laughed.
Even if Liu Yin didn't arrive tonight, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
This guy has more success than failure. He looks brave, but in fact he was spoiled in the palace.
How could he be on the road late at night? He must have found a way station to rest along the way, and will continue on his way early tomorrow morning.
"Ignore them, let's eat ours. After evening, the plan remains the same."
...
Just like yesterday, the dinner arranged by Shi Kelin was still so simple and unpretentious.
Although Jia He kept persuading the prince to drink more, Liu Qi never drank.
Until the end, it was dark. But Liu Yin still has a future.
Liu Qi was quite lucky. If he had come, I'm afraid tonight's plan would not be implemented.
"Your Highness, something is a little different from yesterday."
Inside the house, Qin Wei came in and said.
"how to say?"
"Tonight Jia He specially added some more guards inside and outside the courtyard. If we want to go out without anyone noticing, it may be difficult."
Liu Qi chuckled lightly.
"Who told you that the king would take the main entrance?"
Staying until late at night, it was so quiet that you could hear the cicadas chirping outside.
Liu Qi felt that it was almost done and suddenly stood up.
"let's go."
Qin Wei was confused.
Walk? Where to go?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Liu Qi walking straight to the back window, opening it and pointing outside.
"Let's go from here."
"I have already observed it. Jump to the roof first, and you can go directly to the horse pen. The horse pen is directly connected to the outside."
Qin Wei was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the prince had already made a plan.
...
Bang!
Although they were very careful, they still made some noise when they landed.
"Aba Aba!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the two men, the groom on the haystack was startled and pointed at them with a whimper.
"Your Highness."
Liu Qi waved his hand and told him not to panic.
Immediately, he made a "shh" gesture to the groom. Then with a ferocious expression, he scratched his neck with his hand.
The groom really obeyed and did as he was told, and never made a sound again.
Just like that, Liu Qi took Qin Wei and swaggered to the street.
Just like Qingdu, there is no curfew in the entire Qingguo.
But at this late hour, the streets must be much deserted than during the day.
Although I met patrolling soldiers on the road, there were many people coming and going, so I didn't pay special attention to them.
After a while, the two of them walked to the main street.
The sight in front of them couldn't help but shock the two of them.
I saw many beggars lying on both sides of the road, and there were also many people who looked like victims of the disaster, sitting on the steps, eating food that came from unknown sources.
Compared with the peaceful scene seen during the day, it is a completely different picture.
From this moment on, Liu Qi's brows began to grow serious.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Taking Wei Qin with him, Liu Qi came to a group of beggars, looked at the oldest old man in front of him and asked.
"Uncle, where did you come from? Why don't I see you come out during the day?"
It's okay not to ask. When asked, several beggars immediately stared at Liu Qi with panic on his face.
Before asking any more questions, the old man stood up first, and the others quickly moved away from them.
No matter how Qin Wei yelled at the back, these people didn't even look back.
Liu Qi did not let Qin Wei chase him, but instead set his target on a few people in ragged clothes sitting on the steps.
"Auntie, I want to ask you..."
Good guy.
This time, before they even finished speaking, these people all ran away.
Not only that, except for them, everyone else also scattered away after seeing this.
This is too strange.
"Your Highness, do you want me to chase you?"
"No need, even if you catch them, you may not be able to ask anything, and you may even disturb the patrols on the street."
"Keep walking, don't forget the mission we set out tonight."
After walking a few more streets, I didn't see any beggars or refugees again.
"Could it be that there are regulations in the city that do not allow beggars, or maybe refugees are wandering the streets during the day."
Liu Qi murmured.
Some officials want to make the city look better, and also want to give a good impression to their superiors. There are many such examples.
This is normal. If Shi Kelin really did this, Liu Qi felt that he was indeed overly concerned.
After all, no one is perfect, and some mistakes are inevitable. It is not a big problem, but it is just for the sake of looking good for your own political achievements. Once you change, you will become a good comrade.
But after thinking about it, the question is, what are those people afraid of?
Even if there is an order from the government, just say it, why do you see yourself and Qin Wei, like the gods of plague?
While Liu Qi was deep in thought, Qin Wei suddenly touched his shoulder. Said quietly.
"Your Highness, there is someone following us."
As the prince's personal bodyguard and the most skilled general in Lantian, having eyes and ears to see in all directions is a necessary ability.
Liu Qi was not stupid enough to look back and pretend as if nothing had happened.
"Let's go, turn into the alley in front."
In fact, Liu Qidu planned to go back, feeling that it was already so late and that person would definitely not appear again.
But I didn't expect that this man would keep an eye on me so closely.
With Captain Qin by his side, Liu Qi didn't panic at all. Gradually, the two of them disappeared into the dark alley.
It’s a murderous night with a dark moon and high wind!
The whirring majesty blew the weeds on the ground. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, it gave people a feeling of crisis.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the surroundings. When Liu Qi and the two stopped, the sound suddenly disappeared.
The two stopped and waited for a while.
"Just keep walking."
But just as Liu Qi finished speaking!
Sudden!
Just outside the outer wall, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
This man's face was covered with a black scarf, his eyes were fierce, and he was holding a cold dagger in his hand.
While charging in the direction of Liu Qi, he shouted.
"Dog officer! Take your life!"
