Bring beauty to the world

Master Sima expressed his thanks repeatedly with a happy face, and then went back to sign an order to escort Lin Yue and the others back to Beijing.Lin Yue walked back to the hotel and said to Lieutenant General Li and the others, "God helped me. The governor is not here. I heard from Sima that he went to Dicheng. He should go to find Master Liu to find out the situation. Now they are still there. If you haven't recovered, let's go quickly."

According to the agreement, at [-] o'clock in the evening, Lin Yue escorted Mr. Liu to the Bingmasi school grounds, and joined the Bingmasi cavalry to go out of the city together. But when they were walking on the street, they heard that there seemed to be many people walking on the roofs around them. Lieutenant General Li had been fighting for many years, so he knew that there might be an ambush, but before he could say the warning, a large number of archers appeared on the roof, and many soldiers rushed out from all around, pointing their spears at them.

Lin Yue was startled, and immediately realized that she might have been fooled, but she was blocked by someone behind her, she said sharply, "Bold, I am the emperor's imperial envoy to supervise the army, who dares to make mistakes!" Not far away, someone laughed loudly, "Master Superintendent, don't come here unharmed." The person who spoke was a tall man, probably in his 50s, wearing the uniform of a third-rank governor.Lin Yue knew that this person was probably the local governor, it was really weird, didn't he go to Dicheng?Could it be that Sima lied to himself.

"Master Superintendent, in fact, I have long known that you have come to Yunzhou City, but the order from above has not arrived, and I dare not take people personally. Now that Shangfeng has issued a message, I must take your head. I have offended you." Yun After the state governor finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers were about to attack.

"Wait a minute, you know my identity, but you still dare to besiege the prison army, don't you know that the laws of the country are strict?" Lin Yue was also a little flustered at this time. Could it be that she is going to die here today.The governor smiled and said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but so what? No one will know if I killed you here. Even if the emperor asks, I will say that you all died when you met bandits on the way, and I can't blame it. Even if you want to kill a chicken for the monkeys to see, at most you can find an excuse and give me a little punishment, well, you can go on your way with peace of mind."

At the critical moment, Lord Liu shouted, "Master Inspector, please slow down." The Inspector said slowly, "Master Liu, it's not that I don't want to save you this time, it's just that you know too much, and the secret has already been known by others." , anyway, you will die sooner or later, why not let me die for you first."

Lieutenant General Li under Lin Yue shouted, "Come out, brothers!" After speaking, he raised his long knife to protect Lin Yue, and charged forward on his horse. As soon as the words fell, the archer hiding on the roof came Started shooting a lot of feathered arrows at them.Lieutenant General Li couldn't control the others, so he waved his long knife to fend off those feathered arrows, and protected Lin Yue from rushing out of the killing formation. Those soldiers were brave, and they all stood by Lin Yue's side. When they rushed out with great difficulty, the gate of Yunzhou City was closed, and they could not rush out of the city. Seeing that the pursuers were approaching, Lieutenant General Li said to Lin Yue, "Master Supervisor, I will cover you to rush out, remember not to look back " After finishing speaking, he rushed to the city gate with the remaining soldiers. It may be that the governor thought that these people could not rush out, so there were only a few guards left at the city gate, and the remnants brought by Lieutenant General Li The soldiers turned their backs on their backs, and Lieutenant General Li rushed to the city gate, dismounted immediately, cut down the two defenders with one knife, opened the city gate to let Lin Yue escape quickly, and he himself closed the city gate to block the pursuers as much as possible .

Lin Yue was panting heavily while riding a horse. She didn't dare to look back. Her life was bought by the soldiers who guarded her. In the cloth pocket, there are a large number of account books and criminal evidence of criminal officials. As long as these are in the hands of the emperor, those people can still be convicted without personal evidence.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the horses were tired and stopped slowly. Lin Yue looked back, but no one seemed to catch up. She was thirsty and hungry at this time, and she was exhausted from the battle just now. With all her strength, if there is another team of chasing soldiers at this time, she will definitely not be able to run.Lin Yue's heart was very complicated at this time. It was originally an easy expedition, but she didn't expect it to end like this. It even caused the tragic death of [-] soldiers under her command. A small case involved so many things. A member of the court, this is something Lin Yue didn't expect.Not long after the horses had left, Lin Yue couldn't hold on any longer. She didn't dare to take the official route, she just chose those small paths, just worried that the pursuers would catch up with her. Later, she saw that there seemed to be lights not far away, so she rode the horse go.

It turned out to be a small village with a dozen or so scattered houses, and it didn't look particularly rich. Lin Yue saw one of the houses with lights on, so she walked over and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside the house. "I'm passing through the capital for the exam. I missed the time and want to stay overnight." Lin Yue said as politely as possible.The house was quiet for a long time, just when Lin Yue was about to leave in disappointment, the door opened, and an old lady looked at her holding an oil lamp, "My lord, why are you still walking outside at such a late hour?"

Lin Yue hastily clasped her fists in salute and said, "Ma'am, I passed by here. Because I don't know the place well, I got lost and came here. I want to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning." After she finished speaking, she took out ten taels of silver from her pocket .

The old lady saw that the other party was handsome, and she was not dressed like an ordinary person, so she let her in.After entering the house, Lin Yue looked around. Although the house was simple, it was clean, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the house, like the smell of women's powder, but she just got rid of the chasing soldiers and felt nervous. Well, I didn't pay too much attention to these details.

"Ma'am, what is the name of this village?" Lin Yue asked.The old lady poured Lin Yue a bowl of water, sat next to her and said, "How can this small village have a name? It's just my son. I see that your face is tired and rosy, and there are some blood stains on your clothes. Are you a bad person?" ?”

After hearing what she said, Lin Yue quickly looked at her clothes. There were bloodstains on the sleeves that had just escaped. She was worried that the other party would be nervous, so she explained with a smile, "Ma'am, I'm not a bad person, I just encountered a small incident. It's not human blood, please rest assured." She felt that she was really hungry, so she took out some silver taels and asked the other party to make something to eat for her.

The old lady seemed a little dubious, but for the sake of the money, she didn't ask her any more questions.Seeing the old lady leave, Lin Yue couldn't help being a little funny, even if she was a bad person, she didn't bother to pay attention to such a poor place.

After about half an hour, the old man brought her a bowl of noodles and some pancakes for her to eat. Lin Yue didn't care that these things were unpalatable. Calm down.She asked the old man, "Old man, it's so late, I see that other people's houses have turned off the lights, why are you still on here?"

The old lady said, "Other families have strong laborers. They go to bed early after finishing the farm work. I am the only old woman here. I have nothing to do, so I sew at night." When the old lady was talking, In fact, Lin Yue has been observing her secretly. She always feels that there is something wrong with this old lady. The wrinkles on her face are a bit weird, and the skin on her hands does not seem to be what an old lady in her 60s should have. The most important thing is Yes, the fragrance that Lin Yue smelled when entering the door turned out to be from this old lady, thinking of this, Lin Yue raised a little guard in her heart.

"Old man, why is there always a scent in your house?" Lin Yue asked intentionally.The expression on the old lady's face was a little unnatural, but she didn't show any flaws. She stood up and said, "It's getting late, son, you should rest early, and you can leave tomorrow morning."

She brought Lin Yue to the back room. The room is not big, but there are two bedrooms. The old lady pointed to one and said, "You can sleep here. I often clean here, and it is very clean." After Lin Yue thanked her, The old lady closed the door.When she turned around, a scent of fragrance spread out again, Lin Yue smiled and said, "What an old man, it's really interesting." She looked at the room, it was very clean, and finally The important thing is that the stickers here seem to be newly posted.Lin Yue was lying on the bed. Even though she was very tired, she didn't dare to relax her vigilance. After all, the room was indeed a bit weird, but in the middle of the night, she couldn't help feeling sleepy and fell asleep hazily.

It's just that in the sleepiness, she seemed to feel that her body was a little floating, as if being moved by someone, but she was really sleepy, so she didn't care, it was just a dream, but when she woke up the next day But it took her by surprise.

It turned out that when Lin Yue got up, she found herself limp and weak. Looking around, it was completely black, and there was a brazier on a table not far away.Lin Yue thought to herself, didn't she run into some black shop?It's still someone who plots to kill someone.I don't know what kind of poison I have been poisoned, and even though I struggled hard, I couldn't exert any strength.

Later, when she heard footsteps, she quickly lay down and pretended to be asleep. During this time, she secretly opened her eyes and saw a young girl walking in with a lot of knives in her hands. Lin Yue was shocked.

The girl was too far away, Lin Yue couldn't see her face clearly just from her back.When the woman turned around and walked to Lin Yue, she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand. Just as she was about to raise the knife and chop it off, she heard Lin Yue shout, "Don't kill me!" The woman was also frightened by the voice. She had to take a few steps back, and she saw the guy who was lying there sleeping soundly looking at her with fear on his face. "Are you awake?" She covered her mouth with a chuckle.Lin Yue hurriedly said, "Girl, who are you? Why did you trap me here?" The woman said in front of her, thinking about the kitchen knife, "Don't you know me? I was cooking with you last night." After she finished speaking, she took out a mask from her bosom and waved it in front of Lin Yue.

"Disguise!" Lin Yue yelled, no wonder the old woman had a scent last night, just like the little princess, but she never expected that this woman would be able to perform such a skillful disguise.She pretended to be calm and asked, "Girl, you haven't answered my question yet, why did you trap me here?"
