Female Supreme: Population is in crisis, I have a fruit-bearing tree

"?"

Hearing this, Su Qinghe looked at Baili Honglan in surprise. "I can't tell!"

Seeing Su Qinghe's surprise, Baili Honglan's face showed a hint of pride.

"Nonsense, if my identity could be discovered so easily, would I still be doing this? Qinghe, don't look at me as a fool, I am just pretending."

"Oh, but An Min really doesn't have any good intentions." Afraid that Su Qinghe would misunderstand, she explained again.

"I can see that." Su Qinghe nodded seriously.

The two of them were busy in the room while sharing the information they had learned recently.

Su Qinghe followed Qin Anmin's instructions and quickly found the token for mobilizing troops, while Baili Honglan sat at the desk and wrote a letter.

Su Qinghe walked up to her with the token.

"It's bright and sunny now, and the husbands and children of each family should be ready to leave. I have to rush over before they arrive. Sister Baili, do you want to come with me?"

Hearing this, Baili Honglan shook her head apologetically.

"I can't go with you."

"This is a matter of great importance. The surrounding counties are under control. The spies planted by the Crown Princess on the way are probably useless. I have to go there myself and use carrier pigeons when I am closer to Kyoto."

"But don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After looking at the sky outside, Baili Honglan hurriedly packed the letter.

Su Qinghe didn't feel sorry for it either, as Baili Honglan was not originally in her plan.

After the two of them had explained everything they needed to, Su Qinghe patted Baili Honglan's arm when they parted.

"Sister Baili, take care and be careful on your journey."

Baili Honglan also had a serious expression on her face. "Take care! I'll get help back as soon as possible."

After that, the two of them didn't waste any more time, left the study together, and headed in different directions.

Suburbs, city defense camp.

Su Qinghe did not hide anything. Holding the token in her hand, she walked straight towards the soldier guarding the gate.

……

At the foot of Lingyan Mountain, there were already several horse-drawn carriages gathered, slowly heading up the mountain.

Su Qinghe took a quick glance and passed by them without stopping.

Lingyan Temple.

The temple gate is open at this time, and occasionally a few pilgrims can be seen.

Su Qinghe stopped in the dark and observed for a while. He did not see any soldiers, and the pilgrims who had just entered also came out. Everything seemed normal.

After observing for a long time without any results, Su Qinghe was not stupid enough to go straight in through the gate.

After thinking about it, she quickly headed up the mountain.

The temple was built on the mountain. She remembered that when she went up the mountain, she saw a forest connected to the outer wall of Lingyan Temple.

Following the memory in her mind, Su Qinghe soon found herself in the forest.

The trees are lush and provide good cover.

Su Qinghe walked along the wall with light steps, keeping her ears open to any movements inside the wall.

After several footsteps, she finally found a suitable location and climbed over the wall to enter the temple.

The ground under my feet is soft, and I see a lush green scene as far as I can see. This is the vegetable garden of Lingyan Temple.

Realizing that there was someone coming around the corner, Su Qinghe quickly found a place to hide.

After a while, two monks came out from the corner.

"I don't know how many people Lord Luo invited. All the empty rooms in the temple have been booked. The guest rooms in Lingyan Temple have never been so full before."

Two monks carried vegetable baskets, squatted in front of the vegetable field and started picking vegetables.

"No matter how many there are, the more the better! This shows that our Lingyan Temple has a high prestige. Alas! It's just that there are too many people, and we cooks are busy."

The two monks were chatting, and Su Qinghe listened in the dark for a while. When they bent down to pick vegetables, she slipped out of the vegetable garden.

According to what they said, the hostages will be placed in the west wing when they arrive.

But Su Qinghe was not familiar with Lingyan Temple. She didn't know where the guest rooms were. The only place she had been to was the main hall.

A few days ago, when I went up the mountain, I looked down at the entire temple. It was a square shape.

The main hall is in the front middle part, and the vegetable garden is in a small corner at the back. Su Qinghe doesn't know the function of the other houses.

"Then we can only go to the main hall first."

Su Qinghe muttered to himself and ran straight to the hall based on the map in his mind.

Looking at it from above is one feeling, and walking in it yourself is another feeling.

Therefore, even though Su Qinghe had an impression in his mind, he was still a little uncertain when he left.

The temple was deserted and only a few people could be met from time to time. Su Qinghe hid all the way and did not dare to fly to the roof to see.

After about half an hour, Su Qinghe heard a dull bell sound. It was the big bell outside the hall. She should be very close to the hall.

Knowing this, Su Qinghe became more cautious until he saw the main hall.

Still no soldiers.

Watching ordinary pilgrims coming in and out, Su Qinghe patiently waited in the dark until he saw a group of middle-aged men in gorgeous clothes and then he became interested.

"Little master..."

A group of people talked with several monks in the temple for a while.

"Gentlemen, please come this way."

Watching the person being taken away, Su Qinghe hurriedly followed, and after many turns, she finally arrived at the guest room.

"Gentlemen, please take a rest. Lord Luo said they will arrive at noon."

The monk left after saying this, and the men did not doubt him and walked straight into the courtyard.

Su Qinghe followed in cautiously and took a look. Apart from the men who had just entered, there was no one else inside.

"Good plan."

Su Qinghe couldn't help but sigh.

Knowing that trouble was going to happen at Lingyan Temple, they did not notify the temple about closure in advance and still kept the gates open to welcome pilgrims.

If everything goes on as usual, no one will notice anything, no wonder these people are not suspicious.

Looking at the men who had entered the room, Su Qinghe turned and left without hesitation.

They will be fine for the time being. The important thing now is to find out the situation of Lingyan Temple.

Knowing the location of the guest rooms and seeing that it was still early in the afternoon, Su Qinghe quickly visited other corners of the temple.

Half an hour later.

"It seems that Luo Pinzheng did not arrange the soldiers to the temple in advance. We can only wait until noon."

Looking at the still empty courtyard, Su Qinghe quietly retreated.

She searched the entire temple, but there were only men everywhere. Except for the occasional woman among the pilgrims burning incense in the main hall, she did not see another woman.

I looked up at the sky and it was still about an hour before noon.

Su Qinghe found an empty room and went in, then took out some dry food from the space to eat.

She hasn't eaten a single grain of rice since yesterday afternoon. Now that everything has been arranged, she has to eat more during her rare free time.

Su Qinghe bit the dried meat in big mouthfuls without any image. After eating for a while, she felt choked and quickly scooped out a bucket of water from the space.

After finishing the meal, Su Qinghe put the leftovers into the space, clapped his hands and stood up.

After eating and drinking, it was almost time to go to the main hall to watch a show.
