Li Jiangyao was worrying about the master's affairs when he suddenly realized that the meeting that started at dawn had unknowingly continued until the sun turned west.
In total, it had been two days and one night since he left the inn. It was estimated that Lian Ji would have gone back by now. Li Jiangyao was concerned about the situation on her side, so he said to everyone: "I'm here today. You all should seize the time and implement the agreed tasks separately. Regarding the issue of expert help, I will think of another solution."
Then, he said to Wang Hai: "Mr. Wang, please be my contact person and keep the news open at all times. I will go back to deal with Lian Ji now. If there is any progress with the brothers, please send your men to inform me."
Wang Hai quickly nodded in agreement, and accompanied Li Jiangyao to leave the station with his colleagues. After saying goodbye to each other, they left separately.
Li Jiangyao rode alone and returned to the inn in the city. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lian Ji sulking in the room.
"I said you guy, where did you go?!" Lian Ji said angrily.
Li Jiangyao shrugged: "You have the nerve to ask me? I was just about to ask you. Yesterday, I didn't even say hello, I turned around and ran away without a trace. What did you think of me?"
Lian Ji knew she was in the wrong. She rolled her eyes at Li Jiangyao first, and then said happily: "Why didn't I say hello? Didn't I leave you a letter? How are you like you? You have been missing for so long, and there is no news at all. As a result, the slave family doesn't know who is there." I’m so worried, I’m afraid you’ll be arrested by the government.”
Li Jiangyao picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "You underestimate me too much. How could they get it so easily? By the way, you can find it if you find it." Someone?"
Lian Ji nodded, took out a piece of dry food from the bag, handed it to Li Jiangyao, and said with a soft smile: "I found it. I didn't have time to tell you in detail before, but my benefactor is in Luoyi, the eastern capital. I went to Japan yesterday. I planned to ask him about my sister. Unexpectedly, he happened to be out on business, and only his apprentice was at home. His apprentice told me that my sister was temporarily trapped in the palace because of her brother-in-law's involvement, and my benefactor and the others were trying to find a way to rescue her. .”
"Oh? Who is your benefactor?" Li Jiangyao took some dry food and put it into his mouth and asked nonchalantly: "To be able to rescue people trapped in the palace, he must have a lot of background. Hey , have you never asked him why he asked you to take such a huge risk to assassinate the Duke of Tangtang?"
Lian Ji seemed nonchalant: "I don't care at all why I killed, I only care about my sister. My benefactor said that as long as I help him complete his last mission, I will owe him nothing and regain my freedom. By that time, Then I can live with my sister.”
"Then did his apprentice say how he planned to save your sister?" Li Jiangyao asked.
When it came to rescuing Rui Ji, Lian Ji couldn't help but become serious: "His apprentice didn't go into details. He only said that when the time comes, create favorable conditions for me to take action myself and take my sister and brother-in-law away. By the way, I will take this matter. Maybe I can’t do it alone, can you help me?”
Li Jiangyao was embarrassed: "Help... It's not impossible, but I have to meet your benefactor first. I don't know the details at all, so I don't trust his plan. You have to know that breaking into the palace without permission is as different as directly Death makes no difference."
Lian Ji said displeasedly: "Why are you such a mother-in-law? My benefactor never easily meets strangers, and even his apprentices cannot meet you! Don't think about it. Just ask, are you willing?" Will you help me?"
After knowing her for so long, Li Jiangyao saw Lian Ji losing her temper for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "How come you are so good and so good, and then suddenly you become violent? I didn't seem to have said I wouldn't help you."
Hearing what he said, Lian Ji put away her angry face and turned her anger into joy: "I knew you were a good person!" As she said that, she stepped forward and naturally sat on Li Jiangyao's lap, while stretching out her arms. Jade arms wrapped around his neck and said coquettishly: "You are so good to the slave family, how should the slave family reward you?"
Li Jiangyao didn't move at all, allowing Lian Ji to show off her coquettishness. She just smiled lazily and said, "I advise you to restrain yourself. Don't make me weak and delay the important task of saving your sister."
Lian Ji was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled again, kissed Li Jiangyao on the lips like a dragonfly, stood up and said, "You are so good, I really like you now."
"Talk nonsense again," Li Jiangyao shook his head helplessly: "Did your benefactor's apprentice say what we should do next?"
"He didn't say it clearly," Lian Ji said with a smile, "but I want to move first."
"Moving? Where?"
Lian Ji smiled coquettishly and said: "Fool, where else can we move? Of course we can move to my sister's house."
Seeing Li Jiangyao's surprised look, Lian Ji explained: "Think about it, the war is in chaos now, and the whole Luoyi seems peaceful, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There are people from all walks of life everywhere. We are in the inn. As time goes by, it will inevitably attract attention. On the contrary, it is my sister's side. Because the couple is under house arrest in the palace, no one pays much attention to it. Moreover, Zhishanfang is close to the imperial city, and it will be difficult to take action later. It’s more convenient.”
She paused briefly and said quietly: "The most important thing is that the courtyard is where my sister lives daily. Living in it, I feel that I can be closer to my sister."
Li Jiangyao was just getting what he wanted, so he quickly smiled and said: "I don't care, I can live anywhere. Now that you have made up your mind, let's set off."
The two simply packed their luggage, paid for the store, left the inn, and came to the small house in Zhishanfang.
When they arrived at the place, Lian Ji raised her foot and kicked off the door knocker connected to the lock without saying a word. The big brass lock was hanging like that on one side of the door.
Li Jiangyao was startled and said distressedly: "I said you... are too rude! If you accidentally kick the door shaft, how can you sleep with the door closed at night?"
As she walked, Lian Ji turned back with a smile and asked, "Do you have the key?"
"No."
"Well, there is no key. How can we not kick in the door?" Lian Ji looked excited: "Do you climb over the wall every day to get in?"
Li Jiangyao felt quite depressed, but he really had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to chase her into the courtyard.
Murong Xue's mansion is not big, it can only be accessed from the front and back, and it can be fully explored in a moment. Li Jiangyao and Lian Ji checked each house, paying careful attention to the location, and considering how to deal with various emergencies.
Finally, the two passed through the study and came to the master's bedroom connected to it.
Although the bedroom is not large, it is clean and tidy. There is still a faint fragrance lingering in the room, which makes people easily think of the scene where a sweet couple lived here not long ago.
Looking at the neatly tidied couch and the few skirts hanging next to it, Lian Ji's eyes suddenly became moist, and then her tears kept falling.
Li Jiangyao knew that she was seeing things and missing people, and she couldn't help but feel sad because she missed her sister, so she comforted her with gentle words: "Lian Ji, you don't have to be sad. Good people have their own destiny, and your sister will be fine." .”
It was okay if he didn't say it. After saying this, Lian Ji became even more sad, turned around and threw herself into Li Jiangyao's arms, crying loudly on his shoulder.
Li Jiangyao couldn't say anything more at this time. While trying to forget that Lian Ji's voluptuous body was pressing against him, he gently patted her back to express comfort.
It wasn't until the clothes on his left shoulder and chest were wet with tears that Lian Ji slowly stopped crying. She raised her hazy tearful eyes and begged Li Jiangyao: "Can you hug me? Help me to the couch and give me a hug." I."
Li Jiangyao shouted in his heart for help! At this time, in this atmosphere, if he really carries Lian Ji to the bed, God knows what will happen next.
"My sister-in-law, please be restrained." Li Jiangyao concentrated his energy: "I am not a gentleman who sits still. If you do this again, I...I can't save your sister!"
When Lian Ji heard what he said, she pushed him away and cursed: "No coward!"
Seeing that the other party was willing to let him go for the time being, Li Jiangyao breathed a long sigh of relief: "If you don't have the guts, then you don't have the guts. It's better than taking advantage of the opportunity and cooking the raw rice into the cooked meal. Oh, by the way, let's break in like this and live here casually. , after all, there is still something wrong. How about... I go say hello to the neighbors on the left and right first, and just say that I am staying with relatives temporarily? "
"Go away!" Lian Ji thought he was still looking for an excuse to hide from her, so she said angrily: "Let me be alone here, and you can do whatever you want with other nonsense."
Li Jiangyao came out of the house, looked around, then turned around and went to the small courtyard next door where Wang Hai was.
Facing the surprised Wang Hai and the room full of Nilin Division spies, Li Jiangyao briefly explained the reason why he came here. Wang Hai said happily: "That's good, Mr. Li. This humble position is not only convenient for delivering news to you, but also has the responsibility of protection. I have a total of eleven brothers here, at your disposal."
Li Jiangyao nodded: "Mr. Wang, please arrange for three or four brothers who are agile and good at tracking to keep an eye on Lian Ji. As soon as she leaves, keep a close eye on her to see who she is communicating with."
Wang Hai quickly agreed: "I'm humble enough to obey my orders. Tracking is the special skill of Nilin Division, and there happen to be a few outstanding ones here."
Li Jiangyao felt reassured after hearing this, and was about to go back when Wang Hai suddenly stopped him: "Master Li, please stay for now." Then, Lao Wang quickly returned to the back hall, and after a while he came back with something.
"Sir, this is what Jiang Junyi, the commander of the arsenal, asked me to give it to you." Wang Hai explained: "After the meeting today, Xiao Jiang told me that due to the rush of time, he didn't bring many things with him, so he didn't have time to give them to you. You get equipped. Now that he has sent people to deliver all the items, please take them with you."
Li Jiangyao looked at it curiously and said in surprise: "Bead of confusion?!"
Wang Hai chuckled: "Sir, you are indeed knowledgeable. Yes, this is our Beiya Nilin Division's unique weapon, the Bewilderment Bead. I believe Master Li also knows its usage and efficacy."
Li Jiangyao nodded happily: "I know, I know, is this for me?"
"Yes. Not only the confusion beads." Lao Wang picked up something like a wristband and said, "There is also this sleeve arrow. It is usually tied to the forearm, and the machine rope is tied to the finger. With a little force, you can shoot three short arrows. The arrows are all quenched with poison."
With that said, Lao Wang made a few simple gestures and introduced the specific usage to Li Jiangyao.
Li Jiangyao imitated his example, played with it a little, and roughly mastered the use of the sleeve arrow, so he put it on his left arm. This sleeve arrow is very light in workmanship and does not affect normal activities at all after wearing it.
Lao Wang pointed to another object and said: "This is a chain-cable flying claw. It is used to climb high walls and cliffs. It is very convenient and easy to carry."
Li Jiangyao is an expert in flying over walls and walls. He understood the beauty of it at a glance and exclaimed: "This guy is awesome! If our army's scouts can also be equipped with it, it will definitely be even more powerful."
