Chapter 7 Chapter Seven: The Birds Are Hidden, The Rabbits Are Cooked

Yan Wei turned her head and saw that it was Tong Shui who had already walked to the place where the prey was handed in without realizing it.Yan Wei hurriedly dropped her prey, and walked slowly towards the queue of soldiers with Tong Shui one by one, getting closer to the drum master. I only heard someone in the queue yelling: "You two, hurry up!" Startled, Yan Wei stumbled and fell to the ground.But the clothes were too long, after walking for so long, the belt gradually loosened, Yan Wei stepped on her skirt and tripped. Tong Shu hurriedly leaned over to help Yan Wei.Two people also came from the ranks of soldiers, and the person in front of him asked as he walked, "Which regiment are you from? Who is the commander?"

Tong Shu was about to open his mouth to answer "It's me" and prevaricated, but he heard a voice behind him: "It's me!" It was the drummer who had already removed the bronze drum and came over. I only heard the drummer continue: "He had diarrhea when he got up early, and he must be unable to hold on at this time. I'll send him back." The two people who came over nodded and retreated to the team. With Tong Shu's support, Yan Wei stood up and looked up at the drummer, it was actually Wu Jie!Yan Wei was surprised and delighted, and was about to speak when Wu Jie said: "You want to pretend to be sick, we will help you go."

Yan Wei nodded, and with the support of the two, she gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. "Why did you come here?" Wu Jie asked with a frown. "Alas... I was in a panic, I had no choice..." Yan Wei sighed.Yan Wei was very afraid that he would continue to question him, after all, Tong Shi was the most wanted criminal in Jiang Guo. Wu Jie looked at Tong Shi carefully, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "How are you two swimming?" Tong Shu replied, "Our water skills are excellent." Wu Jie nodded: "There is a two-mile-long waterway that leads to the outside of the city. If you can swim across it, you can leave the city."

Tong Shuai cupped his hands and said, "Please point me to a bright path, I am very grateful!" Wu Jie nodded again, but didn't speak, as if she didn't want to talk to Tong Shui anymore. Yan Wei turned her head to look at Wujie, and after only a few months of seeing him, she felt that he was quite different from before. He had grown taller, with a calm and steady demeanor, as if he had suddenly become an adult from a boy. "What about you? Why are you in King Jiang's palace?" Yan Wei asked. "I'm a palace guard now." Wu Jie said flatly. "Then you let us go, will it be okay?" Yan Wei asked again tentatively.

Wu Jie shook his head with a smile, and said: "No, don't worry, in the entire Jiang Kingdom, I am the only one who can hold and use that magic sword. His Royal Highness is relying on me, and you haven't revealed your identities. It's easy to cover up this matter. " The three of them walked all the way to a secluded place, the hustle and bustle of people gradually faded away, only the noisy sound of reeds in the wind, like sobbing. Wu Jie cupped his hands and said: "Get into the water from here, swim along the right bank, pass a copper net, and you will be outside the city. There is a defect in the copper net here. You should be able to go there. There are patrols on the shore, but not frequent. You Just be careful."

Tong Shu also bowed his hand: "Thank you for your help!" Wu Jie said again: "The copper net will be repaired tonight, don't let me see you here again! After this farewell, if we meet again, we will be enemies..." He said this to Tong Shi, but After speaking, he looked at Yan Wei. Yan Wei felt a pain in her heart, feeling inexplicably sad, she just lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Take care..." The two escaped from Zeyi smoothly. Because of the mum's betrayal, they didn't stay at the pre-arranged destination. city. Just after entering the city gate, there are government servants coming out everywhere, cleaning the streets and clearing the roads.The roadside has three floors inside and three floors outside, full of spectators.Tong Shui and Yan Wei didn't know why, so they also huddled in the crowd to look around.

Tong Shu asked an old man beside him: "What kind of big man is going on tour? Such a big battle?" The old man replied: "Who else? Naturally, the envoy of the Jiang Kingdom came here half a month ago. Isn't it time to go back now?" "Jiang Guo?" Yan Wei was a little puzzled, "Didn't you hear that Jiang Guo sent envoys before?" "Yes, this is the first time in more than ten years. The last time was when the two countries negotiated peace. The time they sent the craftsmen over, it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and the days go by so quickly..." the old man said in a rambling voice. .

Seeing the guard of honor of the envoys approaching from a distance, Tong Shu stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look around, and suddenly someone pulled his sleeves, Tong Shu thought it was the crowd behind him who squeezed over, with only his arm With a flick, he broke free and didn't even look back. But he heard a voice whispering in his ear: "It's me." It turned out to be Li Qichen's voice. When the two looked back, they saw Li Qichen standing behind him, and said with a smile, "There's nothing to see here, come with me." After a few twists and turns, the three of them came to a house, opened the door and entered, and saw Yan Changchu doing Qi guidance in the courtyard, and stopped when he saw the three of them coming in.

Yan Wei saw at a glance that Yan Changchu's left arm was splinted, hung on his shoulder by a cloth belt, and his entire forearm was tightly wrapped in linen, and asked in surprise, "Father! What's wrong with you? Is the injury serious? " Yan Changchu smiled and said: "It's just a broken bone, it has been fixed, and it will be cured in a hundred days, so don't worry." Li Qichen said softly to Yan Wei: "I'm sorry... I didn't take good care of your father..." Yan Changchu patted Li Qichen's shoulder lightly, and said, "Under that situation, the four of them were all unharmed. It's a blessing. This little injury is nothing."

Tong Shu asked, "Why don't you let us watch the fun over there? Is there something urgent?" Li Qichen said: "Didn't you see what is at the gate of the city?" Tong Shu scratched his head and said doubtfully, "I saw them clearing the streets when I first entered the city, so I squeezed in to watch the excitement, and didn't pay attention to what was at the gate of the city..." Li Qichen smiled wryly, "There are portraits of the two of us..." Tong Rate was very anxious, and said angrily: "What's going on? Why are you still wanted when you return to Yang Country? Is this the land of Yang Country or the land of Jiang Country?!"

Yan Changchu said: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Because the dumb defected to the enemy, Jiang Guo already knew the identities of the two of you, but they sent envoys to ask the king to hand over the murderer..." Tong Shi said anxiously: "They hand it over when they tell them to do so? Are we afraid that they won't succeed?" Li Qichen patted Tong Shuai on the shoulder lightly, and said: "Since the last time we withdrew our troops, the two countries have not communicated with each other for several years. This time, Jiang Guoxian sent envoys to repair it. Naturally, our country cannot meet with swords and soldiers, let alone... ...then Mu Xuanshi's biological father is Jiang Wang Longwei's uncle..." Hearing this, Tong Rate opened his mouth wide in surprise, and murmured: "God...what is the origin of this Mu Xuanshi? His mother is King Yang's cousin, and his father is King Jiang's uncle?!" Li Qichen shook his head and said, "I don't know what's hidden in this, but I only know that Jiang Guo's envoy asked our country to hand over the murderer who assassinated Jiang Guo's clan Mu Xuanshi..." Tong Shui shouted: "Fuck the murderer! Anyway, the fight is about to start, just send troops to fight there!" Yan Changchu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple... I guess the king originally planned to attack Jiang country this year, but the floods at the beginning of the year, the drought in the middle of the year, and the weakness of the country, I'm afraid it will take another year to recover, so it's impossible to attack immediately..." Tong Shi said: "Should we hand over the two of us?" Li Qichen smiled and said: "Although there are pictures of the two of us at the city gate, when you entered the city, was there someone to check?" Tong Shu shook his head and said, "No..." Li Qichen said: "So, this is just for Jiang Guo people to see, you don't have to worry too much..." Tong Shui frowned deeply, and said, "Originally, it was said that if you made such a great contribution, you would be able to get rid of the crime, but now that you have done this, you will be even more shameless..." Li Qichen said: "The so-called great merit is to succeed in the assassination and get out of the body, but now that Jiang Guo knows our names and surnames, it can't be regarded as a full merit." Tong Shui murmured, "Then what should we do?" Li Qichen looked at Yan Changchu, as if waiting for him to speak. Yan Zhang Chu said: "Yan Wei and I will naturally go back to Huaidu, and I have to return to the king... I suggest that you two should be separated, it is better not to be together..." Li Qichen nodded, and said to Tong Shui: "I think so too. I'll go back to Chiya alone to find Mr. Yue'an to return to my life. You should go back to Salt Lake to avoid it." Tong Su was a little undecided, and asked hesitantly, "How about I go to Huaidu too?" Yan Changchu shook his head and said, "Not good...it's not appropriate for you to show your face in a place like Huaidu right now, it's better to go to a remote place to avoid the limelight for the time being." Tong Shui said: "Then I'll go to Chiya, this business was my next one from the very beginning." Li Qichen said with a smile: "I was the one Jun Yue An was looking for at the beginning, and I was the first to make a move. No matter how you look at it, I should be the one to go." Tong Shui shouted: "I stabbed the fatal sword!" Li Qichen took out the brocade scroll left by Mu Xuanshi, and said, "As entrusted by others, for matters of loyalty, I will always hand over this to Mu Biecai, and this sword 'Sangluan'. What's more... ...You can go to the salt lake, where can I go..." He said with a sad look on his face. Tong Shui sighed, and said, "Okay...but don't tell Mu that you killed the man, just say I did it..." Li Qichen was startled: "Are you afraid that he will take revenge on me?" Tong Shi said: "It's hard to say... After all, blood is thicker than water... He hates his father today. After more than ten years, maybe his mood will be different." Li Qichen smiled and said, "You think too much, don't worry, I'll be fine!" Tong Shui said: "Then it will be for one month. If you don't come to Salt Lake to find me, I will come to you." Li Qichen murmured: "A month later, let's meet in Huaidu, and you don't want to show up in Chiya." Tong Shui nodded and said, "Okay! Some of my brothers are permanently stationed in Huaidu. When you arrive in Huaidu, just contact them." Yan Changchu said: "There shouldn't be anything wrong. This arrangement is just in case. Don't worry too much..." How can you not worry?Yan Wei listened to them quietly, feeling very uneasy. Every time we got together, I felt very at ease. Every time we separated, I was afraid that we would never see each other again. Especially this time, the separation was so scattered, so suddenly... … Li Qichen saw that Yan Wei was depressed, and said softly to her: "When everything is settled, I will go to Huaidu to find you, wait for me..." After speaking, he glanced at Yan Changchu, hesitant to speak.
