This chariot and horse were exactly the same Yeri Renjing's car that had appeared at the banquet just now. Murong Fu kept a close eye on it and remembered it clearly, so he calculated the time and waited on his only way.

If an ordinary person were to block the minister's carriage and horse in the street, these guards would probably drive them away at this moment. However, when they heard the visitor announcing his home address, these guards who were used to being arrogant did not dare to be rude at all.

The leading guard bowed slightly and saluted: "It's late at night. Your Majesty, the Privy Councilor, is going back to your residence to rest. If you have anything to do, please discuss it tomorrow!"

Murong Fu smiled gloomily and said in his hoarse voice: "Master Yeli, the military information I am going to talk about is very important and related to the country. I have gone through a lot of hard work to find out. I must report it to you immediately. There’s no need to delay!”

Murong Fu's voice was not loud, but he sent it out with his inner strength, and it reached the ears of everyone in front of him very clearly. The crowd felt as if someone had stuffed a handful of sand into their ears. It was indescribably uncomfortable, and some people couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The curtain of the carriage opened at a corner, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The people in the carriage gave the guard a few instructions, and the guard nodded.

Putting down the curtain, the guard came a few feet in front of Murong Fu and said, "Master of the First Grade Hall, please come to the carriage to discuss it in detail!"

Murong Fu bowed slightly and said, "Thank you!" and followed the guard's guidance to the carriage.

A deep male voice came from inside: "Please come up and talk!"

Murong Fu tapped his toes and jumped up easily. He opened the silk curtain and saw that the carriage was brightly lit. The huge carriage was covered with all kinds of precious animal skins that were rare in the Central Plains. There were also There was a small stove with charcoal fire cooking wine, and the whole carriage was as warm as spring, completely isolated from the severe cold outside. The moment Murong Fu stepped in, the armor was even covered with a layer of white mist.

In the middle of the carriage, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar in a brocade robe was carelessly flicking the charcoal fire with an exquisite copper handle. When he saw Murong Fu coming in, he didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "I don't know, Mr. Li." What is so urgent? Do you need to inform me immediately?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and the arrogance of someone who has been in power for a long time in his words.

If it was really an ordinary fifth-grade military attaché who had been shocked by the opponent's aura, how high was Murong Fu's vision? How could you take it to heart? However, he still put on a show to save his face, pretending to be a presumptuous and abrupt person and said: "Li Yanzong, the first rank of the official, please see the Privy Councilor!"

Yeri Renjing nodded and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Li, whose name I have heard for a long time. I am here late at night. What is the important matter?"

Murong Fu bowed and saluted, "Before I say anything, I need you to give me a promise!"

Nori Jinkei was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to reply like this, so he said, "Tell me about it!" There was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Murong Fu said: "I would like to ask you to keep today's matter a secret. This matter is of great importance. Once leaked, I may be in danger of my life."

Hearing this, Yeli Renjing couldn't help but sit up straight. He felt that the situation was serious. He thought for a while and said: "Okay, I promise you. What happened today will come from your mouth and enter my ears. No third person will know." !”

Murong Fu pretended to be happy: "Thank you, sir!"

Then he took a few steps forward and gently said a few words to Nori Jinkei.

Nori Hitei didn't take it to heart at first, but after hearing it, he felt that the situation was serious. He sat up straight and said, "Seriously?"

Murong Fu said: "It's absolutely true! Please mobilize your troops immediately. I'm afraid that this matter will shake the country, so I risked my life to retaliate!"

Yeri Renjing narrowed his eyes: "Okay, Mr. Li will leave first. I will immediately mobilize manpower to deal with this matter!"

After Murong Fu left, Yeli Renjing pondered for a long time alone in the carriage, and said to himself: "Before, these guys just made small troubles and turned a blind eye. This time they actually caused trouble. It's so big! Zhang, you are so brave!"

Immediately, Nori Jinjing shouted: "No hiding!"

The guard who had obeyed the order before immediately stepped forward to obey the order.

Yeli Renjing said: "Take my official seal and immediately go to the Horse Army Division to find Commander Yeli and ask him to mobilize a battalion of military horses as quickly as possible to the small stone pavilion fifty miles west of the city. Be sure to arrange it before the fourth watch. Finished! When we arrive, everyone must be arrested and everything must be brought back! We must capture both the stolen goods and the stolen goods!"

The guard agreed and immediately took the order and left, galloping all the way to the military camp.

After some turmoil, a group of elite horse troops from the Xixia Horse Army quietly left the city under the cover of night and came to ambush outside the city.

At five o'clock, which was the darkest time of the day, the two groups of people groped in the darkness and quietly gathered together.

In order to keep the secret secret, these two groups of people did not light torches and arrived at the designated place based on their memory of the path.

One group of people brought several mule carts, which carried rows of things, all covered with black cloth.

The same was true for the other group of people, except that most of their cars were not loaded with anything, and the sound made by the wheels was obviously lighter. There was only a dark coffin placed on one of them. From the appearance, this group of people looked like they were going to a funeral.

In the darkness, the two groups of people discovered each other's presence at the same time and stopped.

The leader of the group carrying the boxes dressed as a merchant, cleared his throat and said, "Where do the guests come from?"

Another group of people was led by a big man, but he was still wearing a tattered short coat in this cold weather, with his arms exposed: "He came from the south to perform a funeral!"

After hearing this, the merchant felt relieved and continued to ask: "When did the old prime minister pass away?"

The big man continued to answer: "At three o'clock the night before, the prime minister's coffin was already here!"

The merchant was overjoyed after hearing this. The leaders on both sides approached and continued to talk.

The big man in ragged clothes whispered: "Two thousand taels of gold are packed in the coffin. My master wants a lot of fine iron, right?"

The merchant said happily: "Don't worry, there are 30,000 jins in total, not even a tael is missing!"

The big man in ragged clothes said: "I have to inspect the goods first!"

The merchant said: "Whatever you want!"

So the big man walked to the big boxes, opened the lids of the boxes, took out the fire certificates from his body and shook them a few times. He looked at them one by one under the weak firelight and saw that the boxes were neatly coded one by one. of iron.

The big man looked at it for about a cup of tea, then closed the lid of the box, nodded and said, "No problem!"

The merchant said happily: "Then pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"

Before the big man could say anything, countless torches suddenly lit up in all directions. Teams of armored soldiers surrounded the two circles of people. The leading officer shouted: "Don't call the thief away!"
