Heaven and earth return to one

Chapter 13 Night Detective

It was already April 100th when Li Yunke and others rushed to the vicinity of Luohuai with [-] people on the road.That night, he ordered You Changhe to camp ten miles outside the North City Gate, intending to rest for two days to relieve the fatigue from the long day's journey, and then go to deal with the group of cunning Qiujue people.

In order not to attract attention, no fire was lit outside the tents, and even a few game hunted from nearby forests for dinner were cooked in their respective tents.

The tent was filled with smog, and there was a hint of fairyland smell for no reason.But Li Yunke couldn't appreciate it, he just felt choked, so he passed a knife in the hand of the young soldier who was roasting pheasant in front of him, straightened up and sent his hand up, and opened a hole in the top of the tent.

Li Yunke stuck the knife into the pheasant that was about to be roasted, and smiled at the young soldier, "Thank you for your hard work, continue."

Dazed, the young man pulled out the knife and lowered his head in embarrassment.

You Changhe, who was at the side, saw him, kicked the young man's butt heavily, and said, "Stupid thing, don't you know how to bake it in your own tent before sending it to the prince? Let the prince smell the smoke all the time." What's the point?"

The young man lost his guard and almost plunged into the fire, managed to stabilize himself, stood up quickly, apologized repeatedly, and at the same time moved the pheasant out.

"No need, it smells good, let's make it here." Li Yunke sat on the camp bed and waved to You Changhe, "Commander You also sit down, and we will divide this chicken between you and me in a while."

You Changhe repeatedly said he didn't dare, and sat on the floor opposite him.

Li Yunke said: "What should we do, does Commander You have any ideas?"

"Go back to your lord," You Changhe clasped his fists, "Right now we don't know if that Qiujue who pretends to be a Chengning man is the one we are looking for, and according to the general's opinion, we should send people into the city to find out. "

Someone outside came to deliver water, Li Yunke took a freshly boiled glass of water from that person, and said, "That's right, that's exactly how it should be."

You Changhe said again: "However, we still don't know what's going on in the city. It's not appropriate to scare the snakes. In the end, two people will be enough."

It's really so satisfying, if he didn't know that this person is determined to be Li Yunshen's lackey, Li Yunke would have fallen in love with him.Putting the water glass on the ground, Li Yunke leaned over and sniffed the aroma of the roasted pheasant, and said, "Is there a suitable candidate?"

"The last general will go now," Commander You said, "There is also a little brother under the last general, who is very clever, the prince can rest assured."

Li Yunke nodded, "That's good. I hope I don't miss out. I'll wait for the good news from Commander You. I think the chicken is almost roasted. Which piece does Commander You like?"

You Changhe stood up, waved his hands and said, "Your lord, just use it slowly, and I won't bother you in the end."

Li Yunke, as he said, slowly enjoyed a whole roasted pheasant by himself, walked around the camping place twice and almost digested it. Feeling that it was still early, he slept with his clothes on.

Waking up after midnight, the surroundings were quiet, Li Yunke lay down for a while, then got up quietly and left the tent.

There was still no fire outside, and Li Yunke could make out the figures of two night watchmen under the not-so-bright moonlight tonight.The weather had already warmed up, and although it was still a little cold at night, it was nothing to them, a group of soldiers who were used to living in the wild, and they didn't feel cold even if they didn't light a fire.

At this time the surroundings were very quiet, and the two night watchmen were probably tired from traveling during the day, and they were leaning together to doze off, and they didn't notice Li Yunke who was out of the tent at all.This saved Li Yunke a lot of things, so he stopped delaying now and went towards Luohuai City under the cover of night.

The gate of the city has already been closed, but because the world has been relatively peaceful recently, the guards on the city are also very idle. There are only a few people in twos and threes, some dozing off, chatting and chatting, and none of them are serious night watchers.

Li Yunke found a dark place without fire, and climbed up the wall with hands and feet. He ignored the smooth and towering city wall, jumped to the top of the city with a few kicks, and slid down from the other side while the guards didn't see it. .

The street was very quiet, only three or five people who came home late hurried past by the light from the three or two lighted rooms in the several inns along the street, and none of these people noticed that they were under the shadow of the eaves. Li Yunke who was walking fast.

The journey went smoothly, Li Yunke wandered around the Qingsong Inn, and finally came to the door of a room in the west corner of the backyard.He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door three times, paused for a moment, knocked twice, stopped again, then once again, stopped again, and finally three times.

There was no sound in the room for a while, and Li Yunke stood outside the door waiting patiently.

After a while, there was some movement in the room, and then the sound of footsteps came from inside, and when the footsteps approached the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Qiao Shanshan's hair was loose, she was wearing a dress, her belt was tied casually, her face was obviously sleepy, and she looked a bit lazy and seductive.Seeing Li Yunke outside the door, she yawned to get out of the way, and said in a nasal voice: "Hey, am I dreaming?"

Li Yunke gently tapped her forehead, and closed the door with his backhand after entering the room, saying: "You girl is really lawless, I asked you to find a way, but who made you destroy your reputation?"

"Master, you came into your room alone in the middle of the night to talk to your subordinates?" Qiao Shanshan poured out a glass of water in the dark, gulped it down, "Oh, you woke me up."

Li Yunke: "..."

Qiao Shanshan went straight to the inner room, and sat down on the bed, "Let me tell you, I really didn't expect you to come, I thought it was the soldier who gave me the rouge who missed me for so long, and finally couldn't bear it." live."

"..." Li Yunke dragged a chair to follow, "Who are you kidding? It's not like you don't understand the code."

Qiao Shanshan patted her face and widened her eyes, she seemed to be really awake.She raised her skirt and sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, pulled off the quilt and hugged her in her arms, and said: "Master is going to take those useless Chengning soldiers into action?"

Li Yunke sat on the chair he dragged in, "Well, tonight, the commander of the imperial army sent to me by the imperial brother brought people to the city to spy at night, and he should have been wandering around your place, I hope they will have a good harvest tonight." .”

Qiao Shanshan said: "It's not a big problem. Master, do you want your subordinates to invite Commander Kang?"

Li Yunke frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "No need, he should be busy with his business these days, so don't bother him with such trivial matters."

trifle?Qiao Shanshan was puzzled, "He's been very busy recently, he bought a lot of valuable things, and he's always frowning, not knowing what he's doing. From this point of view, this is also the master's order?"

Li Yunke avoided answering, and said, "Why do you say the problem is not serious?"

"This subordinate is discussing with Commander Kang. In order to let the people brought by the master notice the group of Qiujue soldiers smoothly, they asked people to leave marks outside the inn and outside the window where they stayed." Qiao Shanshan said, "The mark is drawn It's the tiger head tattoo on every man's body. It's made of Chiling grass. Afterwards, it's washed off with crimson leaf juice. It won't leave any traces. Just let the night detective see the mark' "Accidentally" died in the chaos. Even if the old guy on the throne investigates this matter himself, he will never be able to find out why. Anyway, the rest of the people did not see it with their own eyes, and no one can explain what is going on. "

After hearing this, Li Yunke picked up an unimportant question and said, "Then it's my brother, don't call me an old fellow."

Qiao Shanshan: "..."

"How can you be sure that the soldiers I brought will find out, but the Qiujue people won't?" Li Yunke asked.

Qiao Shanshan proudly said: "Master, don't worry, the mark is very concealed. If you don't know that there is such a thing and look for it deliberately, you will never find it. The subordinates speculate that before encircling and suppressing this group of people, the master did it in order not to expose it." Zhuangzi, he must find an excuse to call someone to visit at night, so he has already arranged for his brothers to wait. Brother Lin pretends to be a Qiujue who pretends to be a Chengning man. They caught them while walking in the city at night, and the place where they were caught "coincidentally" was outside the window of an inn room where Qiuju soldiers stayed. After being "frightened", Brother Lin tried to "panic" to cover up the mark, So it was exposed."

The corner of Li Yunke's mouth twitched twice, and said: "It's thanks to you that you can figure out how to let a Chengning man pretend to be a Chengning man."

"This subordinate personally drew a big tiger on his chest!" Qiao Shanshan laughed twice, "Don't worry, Master, Brother Lin will definitely get away and won't fall into the hands of those useless generals."

Li Yunke got up and went to the window, looked at the night outside, and said: "You don't trust the people I brought, so you even think about this."

"The subordinates don't trust the one who is on the throne," Qiao Shanshan snorted. "If all the people he chooses are so capable, this group of people won't come in at all."

"Okay, you've worked hard on this matter, and it saved me a lot of effort." Li Yunke raised his chin at her, "Don't tell me Kang Hui is busy buying things, tell him what you like, let him buy it, and let him buy it. Say what I mean."

Qiao Shanshan jumped off the bed, made a respectable bow to him, and said, "Then the subordinate will thank the master!"

"I reckon those two guys will have a busy conversation tonight, so I'll go back and wait for news. Go to bed early, or you'll grow old quickly." Li Yunke turned out of the window and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Qiao Shanshan walked slowly to the window, spat softly, and said, "I don't know who woke me up."
