Thinking

Outside the tent, Yan Jisi's voice came: "Your Highness, the banquet is coming to an end."

Yuan Feng got up, hoping to go out with him.

At the door of the tent, Yuan Feng looked at Qi Si and said, "Daiqin will wait for you twenty miles outside Linhuang City, be careful in everything and don't rush in."

Qi Si nodded and looked at Yuan Feng with a smile.

"When it's difficult to make a decision, just listen to Dai Qin, he is very reliable." Yuan Feng urged.

"Okay." Qi Si said.

"Your Highness, it's time to go." Yan Jisi reminded.

"You go, I should go too." Qi Si took a few steps back.

Yuan Feng's gaze stayed on Qi Si's face for a moment, then turned around and left with Yan Jisi, and went back to the banquet.

Qisi found Asigu's tent, and the group had finished their preparations. Jiang Xuan raised his sword, and they got up and left the tent.

There was a commotion from the Wangzhang camp in the distance. It was the movement of the banquet, the noise of carriages and horses, and the ripples in the water spread out. There were voices of people everywhere in the quiet grassland starry night.

The attendants led the horses, and Qi Si and Jiang Xuan set off from the other side of the Hongji Sacred camp. The night was the best cover, and Xiao Zhi and A Sigu watched them leave.

Running continuously all day and night, with only an hour of intermittent rest on the road, Qi Si and Jiang Xuan arrived near Linhuang at dusk the next day.

"It's been a hard journey for you and me to keep coming and going." Qi Si said gratefully and apologetically to Jiang Xuan.

"Why be polite, we are all our own people." Jiang Xuan threw a bag of crispy candy to Qi Si.

Twenty miles outside Linhuang City, on the Kuoye Plain, a road leads straight to the distant horizon. Beside the big stone on the side of the road, there is a man and a horse.

"It's Dai Qin!" Qi Si recognized Dai Qin's figure from a distance, tall and unrestrained, leaning against a big rock with an epee on his back, a little lazy and a little ruffian.

Dai Qin also saw Qi Si and Jiang Xuan, waved his hands and laughed, showing his white teeth.

As they got closer, the two reined in their horses and slowed down, Qi Si turned over and jumped off the horse and ran over: "It's been a long time!"

Dai Qin smiled brightly and freely, his face was rigid, his eyebrows were sharp and thick, and he had a calm and mature yet youthful aura.

The scar that was neither long nor short stretched from his brow bone across his eyelids to his cheekbones, but it didn't frighten him.

"Did you come here overnight?" Dai Qin asked, striding forward with a mighty imposing manner.

Qi Si said: "Brother!" With Dai Qin's strong aura and unruly gangster aura, this "Big Brother" is a real feeling.

Jiang Xuan also dismounted, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Daiqin, I have long admired you!"

Dai Qin laughed, very satisfied, and rubbed the top of Qi Si's head with his palm: "Look at you."

Looking at Qi Si again: "What are your plans? Do you want to rest for a night first?"

Qi Si shook his head: "No, this is the best time. I think I will go to the Grand Prince's Mansion tonight. It would be even better if I could go to Hekeyi's Mansion."

Hekeyi is the middleman who has contacts with Tudan Tesha, and is also an important minister of Great Liang. He is on the side of the eldest prince, so he is not guaranteed to have important clues.

Dai Qin thought for a while, then slapped Qi Si on the shoulder with a big hand and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

The three got on their horses, Dai Qin held the reins with one hand, and lifted up the veil with the other to cover most of his face.

Qi Si asked, "Should we change our clothes now?"

Dai Qin waved his hand: "Just go to the city and then prepare."

Along the main road to the vicinity of Linhuang, Dai Qin took them around to the other side of the city gate and entered the city, but did not check their identities because there were people waiting to meet them.

As soon as they entered the city, they went to an inconspicuous house. The servants prepared hot meals. Qi Si and Jiang Xuan continued to drive for a day and a night.

"Leaving in the middle of the night?" Qi Si asked after swallowing a mouthful of the glutinous and sweet meatballs.

With a relaxed smile in his eyes, Dai Qin raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and said, "Exactly, take a hot bath after eating to get rid of tiredness."

Qi Si admired Dai Qin's leisurely way of taking time out of his busy schedule. After dinner, he and Jiang Xuanzhen went to take a hot bath separately. This way, most of the tension of rushing into the prince's mansion at night was relieved.

This suits Jiang Xuan's temperament very well, and he is happy to arrange it like this.

After some rest, it just so happened that the rich and powerful went to the Darhan Grassland to watch the Nayar event. Linhuang, the capital city, was much calmer than before. At this time, the city was completely silent, and Qi Si and Jiang Xuan changed into night walks. Clothes.

"If I remember correctly, what our kids use is a sword?" Dai Qin came with a long sword in his hand and handed it to Qi Si.

"Exactly." Qi Si took the sword and gestured a few times, very conveniently, "Brother's weapons are always easy to use."

The sword body and scabbard of this sword are all plain, without patterns or engravings, it is very suitable for this kind of thing, and it is not easy to leave a handle.

Dai Qin smiled: "Except for hidden weapons?"

Thinking about the stone "hidden weapons" Dai Qin gave him last time when the two of them held off the rebels in Tudan City, he couldn't help laughing: "Except for the hidden weapons!"

"Since Duji Hubu was brought back, he entered the Grand Prince's Mansion and never came out again." Dai Qin said.

Under the cover of night, the three of them quickly rushed to the mansion of the eldest prince on the roof of the mansion in Linhuang City, like eagles in the dark night, their wings passed by without leaving a trace.

"Will you meet him?" Qi Si was a little doubtful, his brows and eyes exposed outside the veil were slightly frowned, and the head-on night wind while running gently brushed the broken hair on his forehead.

"No, he's been in a small building in the courtyard in the northwest corner. He hasn't moved for several days. Every day, his servants bring him food and water and he rushes away. I guess he's retreating while recovering from his injuries." Dai Qin said. Stopping suddenly and raising their hands to signal, the three of them immediately hid in the alley to avoid the inspection camp.

"Duji Falcon Bu's kung fu is a bit sinister. It is said that once they have practiced to the seventh level of their internal skills, they can make rapid progress and improve their cultivation in a very short time, but it is also easy to make people's minds crazy." Jiang Xuan said. , he actually collected a lot of this kind of knowledge during his wanderings in the Western Regions.

Dai Qin made a gesture, and the three of them jumped onto the roof and continued to move forward. At this time, they had arrived near the residence of the eldest prince, and the guards came and went frequently.

He replied: "That's right, if that's the case, it's very likely that his skill after this retreat is even stronger than before."

"But it's nothing to be afraid of." Dai Qin jumped to the eaves of a house opposite, paying attention to the movement around him, raised his hand and flicked the hilt of the heavy sword he was wearing, his tone was still relaxed.

Looking at him, I feel that his self-confidence is not unreasonable. Daiqin's martial arts are extremely high. From the last time we fought side by side, we know that once the momentum of opening and closing is revealed, it is very difficult for Duji Falcon to make that way of evil martial arts. If you can stand up to it, everything has its own restraint.

The three of them lay on the roof, opposite to the Grand Prince's Mansion, the mansion is very large, adjacent to the Great Liang Palace, it is equivalent to the East Palace, the surrounding streets are wide, and neatly lined up guards patrol back and forth every once in a while, and there are also rounds. The mansion soldiers on duty.

In the past few days, Linhuang's dignitaries have left, and the guards are much more relaxed than usual, which is good for things.

Jiang Xuan stayed outside to respond, while Dai Qin and Qi Si took advantage of the interval between shifts and patrols, and quickly jumped into the wall of the side courtyard like two sharp black arrows, and then rushed to the roof of the inner courtyard, as quiet as night owls.

"Qinggong is not bad." Dai Qin praised.

Qi Si smiled, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, calm and relaxed.

The two planned to search the meeting hall, the study room and the eldest prince's bedroom one by one according to what they had discussed based on the design drawings given by A Sigu before departure.

"Are you sure you don't want to check in his concubine's room?" Dai Qin asked.

Qi Si heard something in his words, but didn't quite understand, and asked, "Going?"

Dai Qin nodded, waved his hand and said, "It's not that I'm not a gentleman, it's just that it's always a good place to hide things."

After thinking for a while, he said with a smile, "Okay."

The mansion is very quiet, the servants around the eldest prince are no different from those in the palace, they have all been strictly trained, they come and go with light hands, and at this time they are resting at night, and there is even more silence.

Dai Qin made a gesture to him, indicating the position of the secret whistle, Qi Si nodded to express his understanding, Dai Qin raised his hand and flew three stones, three muffled hums sounded at the same time, followed by a rustling sound, Someone fell from the eaves in the dark and fell into the bushes in the courtyard.

"Secret sentries take advantage of concealment. They are in the dark, and those who come are in the open. Most of the secret sentries' martial arts are not high. As long as you find out where they are, it is likely to be easy to solve." Dai Qin said.

The two passed the yard and arrived near the study.

Inside the fence on the second floor of the small building, Dai Qin didn't turn his head back, grabbed Qi Si's waist with his backhand and quickly hid with him in the corner, then motioned to Qi Si to wait for him, then jumped up, hooked the eaves of the house and turned over to the roof of the small building .

Qi Si stood against the wall outside the second floor of the small building, looked up, but was blocked by the eaves.

After a few faint sounds of fists and feet on the roof, a black figure suddenly hung from the eaves, like a huge bat, facing Qi Si!

Qi Si almost jumped up, his heart was beating wildly, and he kept a distance from the black shadow by sticking to the wall behind him.

The next moment, Dai Qin turned down the eaves softly, and lifted the black shadow upside down, like a leopard jumping down with its prey in its mouth. He threw the black shadow on the ground, limp and motionless

Only then did Qi Si see clearly that the shadow was a person.

Dai Qin bent his eyes and smiled silently, his eyes with long scars were deep and beautiful, revealing a sense of mischief, Qi Si could almost guess the white teeth exposed under his veil.

Qi Si: "..."

"This kind of thing that climbs high and looks far is barely called a secret sentry. It looks far away but does not look at the foot-those who attack and must take, attack what they cannot defend." Dai Qin said, "You are a good boy at first glance. Brother will teach you some , it will come in handy when you go to someone else’s house in the future.”

Qi Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you, brother, for your teaching."

Along the way, I first arrived at the meeting hall in the Grand Prince's Mansion according to the plan.Dai Qin didn't pull out all the secret whistles, but with anticipation bypassed most of the guards who were watching secretly, so as not to be discovered.

The two quietly entered the meeting room through the back window, and Qi Si searched quickly under the faint moonlight, but found nothing useful. Dai Qin checked the room one by one. There was no institution here, and it was obviously only used for discussions with his subordinates. , there will be no important things.

After tossing and turning, I went to the study, the study and the bedroom are in the same courtyard, the eldest prince is not in the mansion, there are no servants on duty outside the rooms in the courtyard, only the soldiers on guard.

Dai Qin and Qi Si sneaked into the study and bedroom. There is only a secret escape mechanism entrance in the bedroom, and there are no other valuable things.

There are several hidden compartments and many letters in the study.Qisi went to look through the letters, and Daiqin investigated the agency, and he really found a stack of secret letters in the middle of the desk in the study.

This mechanism is really exquisite, when Ji Si came over, Dai Qin handed him the letter, watching Qi Si quickly flip through the secret letter through the bright moonlight coming in through the window.

Dai Qin crossed his arms and asked, "What's wrong with you, the eldest prince?"

He was only entrusted by Yuan Feng to help Qi Si, but he didn't ask what Qi Si was doing.

Qi Si quickly scanned the letters and saw the seal characters on a letter, mentioning several familiar names, he couldn't help being surprised, then put the letter away, and replied: "The country hates the family."

Dai Qin frowned slightly, seeing Qi Si standing there, seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to be in a daze.
