Inasi took the risk and sneaked into Metasequoia City. She stayed here for seven or eight days and was also confused for seven or eight days.
On the second day after she arrived at Metasequoia, she easily found out the news about Princess Hestia. Not only that, but she also found traces of the Persian girl Efentia.
The reason for this is that the Zhenjiang Army did not seem to deliberately block the news about the two of them. Although Hesijia concealed her true identity from the outside, many Metasequoia soldiers and civilians did not know that she was actually the majestic Pearl of the Vast Sea and Princess Yingyang. , but everyone also knows that there is a beautiful Turkic girl living in the city guard's mansion.
This situation surprised Inasi.
At the beginning, she suspected that this was probably Li Jiangyao's attempt to lure the Turks to rescue Hesijia in order to set a trap and catch them all. For this reason, Yinas did not dare to act rashly. Instead, she hid in the dark and secretly observed Hesijia's condition.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Yinas fell into a deeper confusion.
Hesijia doesn't look like a captured prisoner at all, and certainly doesn't look like a guest staying here temporarily. On the contrary, her every move is not much different from the metasequoia people on the street. They live happily and happily every day. free.
From the smile that often hangs on Hesijia's face, it is easy to see that this Turkic princess is enjoying the time in front of her. Inas and Hestia grew up together and were very familiar with each other, so Inas could be sure that the princess's current appearance was not a disguise, but real and real.
As a result, she would inevitably become more confused.
What happened to Hesijia?
Inasi couldn't figure out the reason, so she decided not to observe secretly. Anyway, the Zhenjiang Army did not restrict Hesijia's freedom of movement. They would simply find a suitable opportunity to meet the princess directly, and then try to save her from here.
However, what Inas did not expect was that the defense of Metasequoia City seemed to be lax, and it looked peaceful and harmless to humans and animals. However, in fact, due to the joint efforts of the Turks and the Western Xinjiang Alliance to strangle, the Zhenjiang Army had never been They did not dare to relax their defenses against enemy spies, so the city garrison was tightly guarded on the outside and tight on the inside. She wandered around the courtyard for several days, and hid in the dark from time to time to spy. All of this had already fallen into the eyes of the security guard.
Situ Wushou, who was in charge of the security of the City Guards Mansion, received a report from his subordinates that a woman from the Yiwu tribe had been acting suspiciously recently and seemed to be monitoring the situation in the manor, so he immediately became vigilant.
He ordered the guards to launch counter-reconnaissance and quickly found out Inas's movements and residence in the city. On the ninth day after she arrived in Metasequoia City, when she was about to meet Princess Hesijia, the guards of the city guard suddenly took action and surrounded her.
Yinas has great martial arts skills, and she was in a desperate situation in the enemy camp, so she naturally used her full strength to attack. After only a few encounters, three White-robed Army soldiers were injured one after another. Originally, the white-robed guards were ordered by Situ Wushou to capture Inas alive, but they didn't expect that this cute little girl would be so ruthless, so they had to let go of their hands and feet and surrounded and killed her. The two sides fought and chased each other from the inn where Yinas stayed, all the way to Metasequoia Ximen Nei Street. They were so startled that nearby business travelers fled in all directions, creating a huge chaos.
At exactly this time, Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang came back from outside the city. They were shocked when they saw what they saw, thinking that their hometown had been stolen by the enemy.
Xu Youchang had sharp eyes and recognized Yinas at once. He quickly stepped forward to stop the guard and at the same time dodged to the other side with his bare hands. Inasi was exhausted from fighting at this moment, so she didn't even look at him. She used her last remaining strength and stabbed Xu Youchang directly with the dagger, as if they were both going to die together.
Lao Xu had experienced many battles, and his martial arts was superior to that of Inas, so he didn't panic. He just made a simple hook and tightly clasped Inas's wrist. He exerted force again, only to hear a clang. The dagger fell to the ground.
"Hey! Look clearly! It's me!"
Yinas dropped her weapon, feeling desperate in her heart. She was about to launch a flying kick to hit Xu Youchang's lower body, but when she heard the other party shouting like this, she was stunned for a moment. When she looked carefully again, she couldn't help but feel surprised and happy.
"Is it you? General Xu?!"
Xu Youchang laughed loudly and then let go of his hand: "Dear Princess, did you just want to destroy me?"
Hearing that the other party still called herself "princess", Yinas suddenly smiled sheepishly, then raised her hand to tuck her loose hair, and hummed: "Stop pretending, don't you still know who I am?" ?”
Xu Youchang looked at her meaningfully and asked instead of answering: "What's going on? When did you come to Metasequoia City? And why did you fight with our soldiers?"
Inasi was about to answer when Li Jiangyao, who was not far away, suddenly said calmly on his horse: "Friend, this is not a place to chat and reminisce. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Xu Youchang nodded and turned to the guards officers and soldiers who arrested Yinas: "Are you Lord Situ's men? I will take this person back to the city guard for investigation first. If I find anything, I will tell Situ Wushou. "
The officers and soldiers of the guard gave Xu Youchang a military salute in a formal manner, and then followed the order to withdraw the team and leave. Xu Youchang ordered someone to bring a horse and let Inas ride it, and followed them back to the city guard's house.
When they arrived at the place, Xu Youchang first stepped aside, then pointed at Li Jiangyao, and asked Yinas with a smile: "Do you still remember him?"
Yinas raised her hand and gently wiped the blood stains on her face, stared at Li Jiangyao, and smiled calmly: "Captain Li of the Pegasus Scout Camp, how dare I forget?"
Li Jiangyao also smiled and nodded: "I have a good memory. We have met three times in total. The first time was on the business road of Suiye Kingdom. You led people to ambush the Shengtang caravan, but I led my troops to fight back and kill you, but you escaped. The second time was the Battle of Chechi. You were captured by my men and later escaped. This time we are destined to meet again, and we will fight and kill you."
"And I was captured by you again." Yinas shrugged: "It seems that you are really the bane of my life. Every time I encounter you, I will be unlucky. However, I don't plan to escape this time. I want to kill you." Cut it, please do as you wish."
Xu Youchang laughed loudly when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to pull up a chair: "Come, sit down, sit down and talk. If you want to kill or behead, it's not that exaggerated!"
He poured a bowl of water for Yi Nasi, then smiled at Li Jiangyao and said: "In order to protect Hesijia, this girl pretended to be a Turkic princess and deceived Murong Xue and I. If it weren't for Shen Lie from Nilin Division, She was messing around, and I still don’t know her true identity.”
Li Jiangyao nodded in agreement and turned to Yinas: "I heard that you are the granddaughter of He Lianxiong and the apprentice of the Turkic Martial Saint Biro?"
Inas was immediately shocked. She never expected that the other party knew her details so well. She couldn't help but wonder: "You...how did you know?"
Xu Youchang said from the side: "It goes without saying, of course the princess told us."
"Princess? Heska?" Yinas was a little disbelieving: "How could she tell you this? What on earth did you do to her?"
Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang looked at each other and smiled: "Answer me a question first. Are you coming to Metasequoia to spy on military intelligence for Ronya, or are you looking for Hesijia?"
Inasi looked very wary: "Is there any difference between the two?"
"Of course." Li Jiangyao responded calmly: "If you are going to be a spy, I will not embarrass you because of my previous fate. I just ask you to leave here immediately."
"Leave?" Yinas was doubtful: "Aren't you afraid that I will report your information to the Prince of the Temple?"
Xu Youchang said calmly: "What is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that you can't figure out the context of our Xinjiang Army. Even if you find out some information, it doesn't matter. We have defeated the Western Xinjiang rebels many times, including your Dalai Marquis Mu, Marshal Mohadi, and Iron Pigeon Doron are not hiding or sneaking around. What's more, you have sent spies here before."
Yinas heard the upright and heroic self-confidence in Xu Youchang's words. She couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then asked: "What will happen if we come to see Princess Hesijia?"
Li Jiangyao nodded slightly: "Let me just say that finding the princess should be the top priority of your searching team."
"You even know this?" Inas suddenly opened her eyes.
In order to ensure the personal safety of Heskaya and Efentiya, the missing person mission has always been a secret operation of the Turks. Only a few senior officials know the whole story, and the outside world does not even know the existence of their team.
But listening to Li Jiangyao's tone, it was obvious that he was very aware of the missing person group, which was enough to show how powerful the other party's intelligence system was.
The Turkic army and the thirty-six countries in Western Xinjiang have no secrets from Li Jiangyao!
Inasi bit her lip unwillingly and asked again: "You haven't said yet, what will happen if I come to find the whereabouts of the princess?"
"Then let you go see her." Li Jiangyao smiled: "Otherwise, what else can we do?"
"So simple?"
"It's that simple."
"Can I take her away?"
"She is not a prisoner. Of course she can leave if she wants."
"What the hell are you doing?" Yinas said angrily: "After working hard with me to explore for so long, and almost being killed by your people, why not just come to the door and ask for someone openly? You two Are you kidding me?"
"Really not." Xu Youchang said: "As our friend, Princess Hesijia is just an ordinary guest in Metasequoia City. She has neither been rudely offended nor lost her freedom. Even you. We also informed each other in time that we were looking for her. Therefore, what Mr. Li just told you is all true."
"This is impossible!" Yinas glared at Li Jiangyao: "If Hesijia knew that we were looking for her everywhere, she would definitely be anxious to death. How could she continue to stay here?"
Li Jiangyao scratched his head, glanced at Xu Youchang, and then said helplessly: "If you ask me, I can't figure it out. If you don't believe it, then go see her now."
