If Jiang Chengyi had not been watching the old thieves in the capital and constantly inquire about the dynamics of envoys from various countries, he would have been unable to move forward in the border town and could not find out the truth.

It's ridiculous to say that he trusted Jiang Chengyi more about the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family. Because Jiang Chengyi and him were on the same front as him in the interests of the government and the opposition. At least now, in order to get rid of the Deng family and gain a foothold in the Wei Emperor's party, Jiang Chengyi must cooperate with him.

But Jiang Chengjia is different. How close is she and him? The closer he is, the more he cannot accept that she has deception or concealment from him. He stubbornly believes that there should not be any profit or loss between them, but that they should rely on each other and take care of each other.

Ning Nanyou was confused and looked dazed, looking like he had lost his soul.

Xiao Sa bent over in front of him and waved to him: "Why don't Junhou stop talking? But what did you remember?"

The husband slowly came back to his senses, and his starry eyes fell lightly on the middle-aged man in front of him like cold quenching in the snow mountain. Then he answered the question he had just asked: "I don't know the reason for Bai Weijun's suicide. Time is tight, Uncle Xiao... You and I need to investigate separately to save time. You will check the traces of his last night, and who have you met to restore the situation at the time of the incident.

As for me... such a big thing happened in the border town, I'm afraid I won't be able to let Lu Xun and others withdraw from the northern land for the time being. The Jingshu Guard stayed in the city, which would also help us find out the true identity of Bai Gu's defender. Why did he commit suicide... so I left it to me to find out. I wonder... Uncle Xiao believes that there is a problem with such division of labor?"

Xiao Sa looked at the sky outside, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your Majesty's words make sense."

With a little silence, Xiao Sa's eyebrows were deeply locked and said with concern: "Of course... I advised the lords and marquis... not to let the stewards stay for too long. If Deng Qing failed to return to the city in time, and caused the Taiwei and found your traces, then there would be misfortune whether it was the Pingding Palace or the Huaiyin Palace...

Xiao Sa repeatedly emphasized this issue and has urged Jingshuwei to evacuate countless times. Originally, Jingshuwei should have evacuated last night. In order to convey the news of the loss of the jade pendant to Jiang Chengjia, Lu Xun specially stayed for a day. However, before dawn this morning, Bai Weijun died tragically on the city wall, and Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi needed to postpone their trip.

But Ning Nanyou knew that it was not a solution to drag on like this, so he thought about it and said, "I know Uncle Xiao's concern, so it's better to do this? The city gate is still there late at night, and I will order the Lord of the Supervisor to lead some people away first. Forty thousand elite soldiers are indeed very dangerous in the city. Even if the border city wants to investigate the case, please leave Lu Xun and one hundred Supervisors to guard. I just hope that Uncle Xiao can help me cover up the identity of these hundred people before I leave."

Xiao Sa thought this move was acceptable, so he nodded and agreed: "I should do my best to cover up the identity of the generals who supervised the guards for the lord."

The two men faced each other and looked at each other. In an instant, they suddenly felt that the room had darkened and the Yao windows were creaking.

The two looked out the window at the same time - in the last moment, there was still red sun shining and golden light condensed. The next moment, a sudden wind came, rolling over a darkness, black clouds pressing against the city to destroy it, and the golden light was hidden. Apart from the red sun, a rain covered the sky and mixed with crystal snowflakes, hitting the city violently.

Just like the current treacherous situation in the border town, it seems to be a warning given by God.

At night... the prefect's mansion was quiet and silent. Apart from the ticking sound of rain in the yard, there were only a few occasional conversations from the servants mixed in.

In the courtyard opposite the water pavilion platform, Jiang Chengjia was wearing a straw raincoat and hid under the eaves of the corridor.

It was pouring rain in the courtyard, and Qianshan looked at it with a frown: "Girl, such a heavy rain... how do you go out?"

Jiang Chengjia was very calm: "The straw raincoat is already there, so I am afraid that I can't go out?"

Qianshan hesitated and said, "Are the girl sure I won't let me go with you? How do you deal with it alone..."

The girl laughed softly and said gentlely: "Ashan... how much have I experienced? How could I not even deal with such a scene? Don't talk nonsense, just send me to the front door of the mansion. The agreed time is coming, and Governor Xiao is already waiting in the front yard, so don't let him wait and be anxious."

Qianshan was reluctant, but she pushed the girl's wooden wheel and walked all the way to the conference hall.

At this moment, Xiao Sa was wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, and personally captured a young man in ragged clothes, wearing a dusty face and prison uniform, standing in the heavy rain, looking forward to waiting for Jiang Chengjia to come.

Seeing a girl appearing under the corridor, he felt a stern and said politely to the lady: "Mrs. Shao."

Jiang Chengjia smiled gently at him, then nodded, and in a blink of an eye, he looked over him, looking at the embarrassed young man beside him, and turned to his eyes and said: "May Lord Governor wait for a long time."

Xiao Sa bowed to her a little, then looked at the girl up and down.

Today, she specially changed into casual clothes that Xiao Sa often wore and held a pair of strange husbands in her hand. After she confirmed that there was no one around, she silently pasted the mask in her hand, and Qianshan held a bronze mirror to sort it out for her. In a blink of an eye, she turned into a little white-faced young man.

She disguised herself in front of Xiao Sa, asking him to confirm her identity.

Even though the middle-aged man in front of him was stunned, she did not stop. After finishing her appearance, she said, "Mr. Xiao, everything is ready. Let's set off now."

Xiao Sa nodded, and saw the girl standing up with her soft and weak body, tiring up her teeth, and slightly tiring her clothes, then turned her head to look at him.

As the two exchanged eyes, Xiao Sa saw a knife slashing Zhou Yuanmo's neck, which made him faint in an instant.

Xiao Sa dragged him, placed him on the wooden wheel, pushed Zhou Yuanmo around, and walked towards the gate of the prefect's mansion.

The two of them slowly walked towards the outsider of the mansion. Walking into the rain, Jiang Chengjia felt the slashing raindrops hit her like stones, heavy and uncomfortable.

Qianshan stood under the eaves in front of the government office and watched them gradually get away, with indescribable worry and fear.

Last night, at Jiang Chengjia's suggestion, Xiao Sa replied to Qin Ye in the bulletin board of the East City. He thought... the other party did not receive the news so soon, but at noon today, after Jiang Chengjia returned from the Yizhuang, someone had already handed Qin Yezhi's reply.

The two sides made an appointment and met at the Broken Bridge in the suburbs of the city at the hour of Hai tonight. Qin Ye made a request and only allowed Xiao Sa to select one of his servants to go.

This is nothing different from Jiang Chengjia's inference yesterday.

She concluded that there were still people in the city who had accomplices with Qin Ye. Otherwise, Xiao Sa would have ordered people to post the letter content on the bulletin board in the East City, and would not have been spread to Qin Ye so quickly. Therefore, she did not dare to disguise herself in her courtyard, for fear that Qin Ye would have the eyeliner installed in the prefect's mansion, and found the clues of this matter and disturbed the operation. So she made an appointment with Xiao Sa to change clothes in the secret small corridor next to the meeting hall, and did everything carefully.

The wooden wheel walked to the corner of the street alley in the east, and the two finally stopped slowly.

In the dark and rainy night, a faint moonlight fell from the cracks of the dark clouds, which made Jiang Chengjia see Xiao Sa's appearance clearly, and only heard him tell him: "Mrs. Shao... I sent it here and walked forward... It is very likely that the thieves and accomplices in the city will find clues."

Jiang Chengjia knew what he meant, and nodded silently, took the handle behind the wooden wheelchair from him, took the support of the wooden wheel, and stood firm and said to him warmly: "Mr. Xiao... I was really hostage at four o'clock in the hour of the lunar month, so I ordered Li Jian to lead troops to surround the Broken Bridge immediately... Remember... Don't show your foot."

It was raining heavily, and Xiao Sa's face was already covered with rain. Seeing the girl's firm expression, the nervousness in her heart was relieved a little. She shouted deeply and responded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shao, I will do my best."

The two said goodbye and hurriedly separated in the alley.

Jiang Chengjia was alone, pushing Zhou Yuanmo, who was unconscious and walked towards the city gate with difficulty.

With a cup of tea, one person sat down and came to the city gate. The towering and closed door opened from the inside as if it was greeting them. In the dark corner, a soldier holding the door bolt ran to her and said politely: "This little man... the city gate is open... Be careful in everything."

Jiang Chengjia nodded lightly, pushed the wooden wheel hard, and walked out resolutely.

There was no trace of light outside the city. Except for the faint lights above the city wall, it was almost pitch black in front of me, and the path was hidden in it and nothing could be seen. Because it was a rainy night, the gravel road was very muddy, and the wet rain was all over.

Jiang Chengjia stepped on the soft soil and took a deep mark with one foot. Under the gaze of hundreds of people on the city wall, he moved forward step by step.

The rain slowly penetrated into her clothes through the thin slits of the straw raincoat, with a sticky and wet feeling, and she was sweating all over her head.

The wooden wheel is very difficult to move in the mud and water. Jiang Chengjia is sick and has no strength at all, and it is even more difficult to walk now. She groped in the darkness and finally reached the broken bridge, but was blown by a gust of wind and almost fell into the puddle.

She wiped the rain from her mask in a mess, fearing that it would fall off at this time.

Just as she was panting and finally stood by the wooden wheel, a soft sneer suddenly came from the opposite side of the broken bridge: "The famous governor Xiao Sa Xiao Xiao...is the person sent by him such a weak and powerless person?"

This extremely familiar voice sounded, and Jiang Chengjia twitched violently, his face was dim and his whole body was stiff.

I saw a figure slowly walking from the other end of the broken bridge. The young man walked steadily.
