at the same time

Yan Shu was harvesting corn in the field while carrying a basket on his back.

After running back and forth dozens of times, I finally harvested more than an acre of corn.

In the yard where all the corn was dried, Yan Shu drank a glass of spiritual spring water and went straight to the bathroom.

There was a large bathtub in the bathroom. I put the warm water in, took off my sweaty clothes, and soaked comfortably in the bathtub for half an hour.

Looking at the time, it was already past four in the morning, and Jiang Ci hadn't come back yet. Yan Shu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

His martial arts is so high, nothing will happen to him, right?

Guo Mansion

Jiang Ci avoided the various agencies set up in the mansion and the guards who patrolled the house at night. After figuring out the topography of the Guo Mansion, he wanted to sneak into Guo Chengsi's study to take a look, but he was discovered halfway by several hidden guards of the Guo Mansion.

"who?"

Jiang Ci flew up to the roof, and the hidden guards chased after him with swords waving.

On the roof, Jiang Ci fought with the four opponents for dozens of rounds. After injuring two of them, Jiang Ci turned around and tried to leave.

"catch him!"

The guards patrolling the mansion had arrived, and several archers shot arrows at Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci swung his sword to cut off the arrow feathers that were shot at him, and the guards rushed forward. Huanying, who was hiding in the dark, heard the sound of fighting and immediately flew over with several Xuanzong disciples.

The two parties fought fiercely, and the Xuanzongmen clearly had the upper hand.

Jiang Ci greeted Huan Ying and others.

"withdraw!"

Guo Chengsi maintains hundreds of guards in the mansion, and making too much noise would be detrimental to them. The purpose of tonight is to find out the terrain of Guo Mansion, and it is not a good time to get too hung up on fighting.

After a few people dealt with the guards and turned to leave, an arrow from the darkness shot straight towards Jiang Ci.

"Be careful, son!"

Huan Ying shouted and stepped forward to intercept him.

The arrow was extremely fast and shot towards Jiang Ci's heart one step ahead of him.

Jiang Ci was able to avoid it, but suddenly wanted to try the effect of the soft armor given by the little fox.

His body moved a little to the left so that the arrow would not hit his heart when it came.

The tip of the arrow hit Jiang Ci and was bounced out, falling to the ground with a clatter.

Huan Ying stared at the arrow on the ground in astonishment.

What kind of magical skill has the young master secretly practiced?

Jiang Ci curled his lips in satisfaction: "Let's go!"

Nanwei Governor's Mansion

"Boom!"

A dart shot through the lattice screen into the room.

Li Shangqian woke up suddenly and stood up quickly.

Mrs. Cui, who was lying on the bed, also sat up immediately.

"Master, what's going on?"

Li Shangqian took advantage of the moonlight to pull out the dart embedded in the wall. Cui had already held the lamp and walked to him.

Li Shangqian took off the note from the dart, took one look at it, and immediately put the note on the candle to burn it.

He hurriedly took off his robe and put it on, turned to Mrs. Cui and said, "Madam, please go to bed first. I'll go out for a while."

Mrs. Cui couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Li Shangqian acting in a hurry.

"Master, is there no danger?"

"I have a distinguished guest coming to visit. I'll go see him."

After putting on his clothes, Li Shangqian hurriedly left the room.

All the way to a house in the west, he opened the door and walked in.

A group of people in night clothes were waiting for him in the yard.

Li Shangqian walked up to the leading young man, his eyes filled with mist, and he knelt down excitedly.

"My minister sees Your Highness!"

Jiang Ci's eyes fell on Li Shangqian's face. He was already in his sixties, his temples were gray, and his face was covered with the vicissitudes of time. He had long lost the murderous spirit that he had when he followed his grandfather in the north and south.

He stepped forward, leaned over and helped Li Shangqian up.

"General Li, please get up quickly. You have a great friendship with my grandfather. As a junior, I cannot afford such a great gift."

Li Shangqian's eyes were already wet when he mentioned General Feng. He resisted the urge to cry and shook his head.

"The etiquette cannot be neglected. Why did His Highness come to visit so late at night?"

Jiang Ci said: "I followed a group of refugees to flee here. I never thought that Guo Chengsi, the governor of Nanwei, would close the city gate and keep tens of thousands of refugees out. General Li must have heard about the riots caused by the refugees today."

Li Shangqian's face suddenly darkened when he mentioned Guo Chengsi.

"Hmph, Guo Chengsi has relied on the power of the Queen's family to dominate Nanwei and feed the people for many years. The lives of the people are nothing more than ants in his eyes. Now that the Rong and Di armies are approaching, this bitch has always been afraid of death and sealed the city gates. It's just to save his dog's life, I really want to kill him, but the officials in charge of the warehouse are all his people, for the sake of the [-] Nanwei troops in my hands, I have been enduring this bad breath all these years!"

Jiang Ci knew that Li Shangqian had hated Guo Chengsi for many years. In the past, because Guo Chengsi controlled Nanwei's granary and military pay, Li Shangqian could only swallow his anger.

Now that Rong Di is about to attack the city, the [-] city defenders in Li Shangqian's hands have become the only hope to defend Nanwei.

"General Li, tomorrow Guo Chengsi will hold a crabapple banquet in the mansion. At that time, all the officials in the city will visit. I want to join forces with the general to eradicate this cancer together tomorrow."

Li Shangqian's eyes were bright: "Your Highness, what should you do if you need to take a humble position?"

"In recent years, Guo Chengsi has sold his official position, embezzled military pay, repeatedly raped civilian girls, and gathered people to kill people. Every piece of evidence is enough to put him to death. In addition, this time he turned away tens of thousands of refugees from the city. The general asked for orders for the people. , it’s not a bad idea to kill him first and then report him in anger. Your Majesty still needs you and Nanwei’s [-] city defenders to guard Nanwei Mansion. You will never be blamed for killing a corrupt official. But Guo Chengsi is, after all, If the Queen's people touch him, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion will definitely make things difficult for you. I will not force the general, and the general can think carefully before making a decision."

Li Shangqian pondered for a moment, thinking of General Feng Lao and the late Queen who died unjustly, as well as those colleagues who were loyal to General Feng Lao. Over the years, His Majesty has found various reasons to execute them. If General Feng Lao had not cut off contact with him in advance, then what would have happened? He will also be involved in a witchcraft case.

I also thought that over the years, His Majesty has been obsessed with the art of immortality, is incompetent, and favors demons. The people have long complained. Now, with internal and external troubles and corruption in the court, he, a governor in charge of [-] Southern Wei troops, was actually killed by the treacherous villain Guo Chengsi. Suppressed for many years.

The more I think about it, the more angry I feel.

"In this humble position, I am willing to do my best for His Highness!"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Ci Qingjun's face.

"Tomorrow I will follow you to the Guo Mansion as a junior."

Li Shangqian nodded: "Okay, then I will go with you as your humble nephew."

The two immediately discussed it again, and when the sky was getting brighter, Jiang Ci returned to Zuiyue Pavilion.

Yan Shu had returned to the room an hour early.

She was busy running for her life during the day and harvesting corn in the space at night. After taking a bath, she wanted to fall into bed and sleep.

But Jiang Ci didn't reply for a long time. He was worried about something and couldn't fall asleep even though he was tossing and turning.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and Yan Shu sat up suddenly, put on his shoes and hurriedly got out of bed.

"Who?"

"it's me!"
