When Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu came out of the secret passage, it was already the middle of the day.

The bandits were still entrenched in the mansion, first noisy and shouting, and then slowly calming down.

Feng Ziying had been hoping to hear some inside information, but she couldn't do it, first, there were many sentry posts, and second, they were all discussing behind closed doors in the main room of the inner courtyard.

The secret passage is a four-foot-high secret passage, after two twists and turns, the passage leads to a shrub outside the east wall, from which several rocks and shrubs are mixed together to form a good exit, it is difficult to see anything from the outside to the inside, but from the inside out, you only need to push it up, a stone falls off, and an exit can be left.

Breathing in the fresh air, Feng Ziying, who was still a little nervous, relaxed a little, but Zuo Liangyu, the kid, regained his vitality as soon as he came out.

"Brother Feng, how are we going now?" After learning Feng Ziying's identity, Zuo Liangyu's heart was full of envy and joy.

He lost his life since he was a child, his mother also died when he was five years old, and he has been relying on his uncle who worked in the blacksmith shop to make a living.

Because he has been undisciplined since he was a child, he has also developed a brave temperament that is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is good at forbearance, so he used a brick in the alley to angrily hit the splash skin who had snatched the silver or two that he had saved up with great difficulty.

The Zuo family was born in the military household of the Wei Institute, but as early as Zuo's father's generation, he was eliminated by the Wei Institute and became a craftsman household that mainly served the military households.

After learning that Feng Ziying was the concubine of General Shenwu and the Gongsheng of Guozi, Zuo Liangyu's mind was also a little hotter, for him, it was probably the biggest noble person he could meet since he was eleven years old.

In terms of age, he is only a month younger than Feng Ziying, and in terms of identity, he can only call Feng Ziying Uncle Keng, but Feng Ziying doesn't care much about this, maybe it is because the state of mind of being born and equal has not completely subsided, so he only asked Zuo Liangyu to call him Brother Feng.

Feng Ziying didn't expect that this approach would make Zuo Liangyu unforgettable and grateful.

Zuo Liangyu, who has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child, has never encountered such a special encounter, don't look at his young age, but he can be regarded as a naughty young man in Linqing City, but his inner inferiority complex and sensitivity have always been hidden.

In the face of other similar people in Linqing City, it may be nothing, but in the face of Feng Ziying, the third generation of the standard Great Zhou Army, the second generation of officials, and even a student of the "Central Party School", Zuo Liangyu really has some impulses to kneel and worship.

"How to go, you should help me plan." Glancing at Zuo Liangyu, Feng Ziying stabilized her mind.

As soon as Feng Ziying left the eyes of the adults, her heart was still much more relaxed.

After all, under the sight of Feng You, Jia Yucun and Xue Jun, it is really suspicious that a boy who is less than twelve years old can really behave too demonically.

Especially Feng You, this is almost growing up with him, that is, he has been in the Guozijian for half a year to live a little out of the other party's sight, even so, it is impossible for him to be reborn in the past six months.

Previously, Feng You was constantly observing himself with an inquiring gaze, which made Feng Ziying a little creepy.

It's not that he is worried that Feng You will see where he comes from, after all, it is impossible for anyone to believe this kind of thing, he is just worried that Feng You will suddenly feel that he is unreliable and unreliable, and he will not accept this suggestion of his own.

"Brother Feng, then Mr. Xue said that Caoyun Li Commander Shuai should have passed Jining, I have calculated the time if, Inspector Li is traveling day and night, I am afraid that he should have arrived in our Linqing, but looking at the current situation, it is definitely not, then Inspector Li is probably just sailing in the daytime, so calculated, if Governor Li walks fast, he should have already arrived in Liaocheng, even if he walks slowly, he should have passed Zhang Qiu, uh, probably at the seventh level, Zhoudian or Li Haiwu."

Seeing that Feng Ziying attached so much importance to her opinions, Zuo Liangyu also cheered up and thought hard before expressing her opinion.

Feng Ziying shook her head, "Uh, Erlang, Li Governor Shuai is in charge of Caoyun, the seventh level, Zhoudian and Li Haiwu's line, although it is an important place for the river transportation wharf, but it is not a place where he must stay, Liaocheng and Zhang Qiu in Dongchang Mansion have water sub-warehouses, especially Zhang Qiushui's sub-warehouse, which is the key location of storage and transportation in North Zhili and Shandong Corn, Li Doushuai went north to inspect Jining, either in Zhang Qiu, or in Liaocheng. ”

He also discussed this point of view with Feng You, Jia Yucun and Xue Jun, Feng You didn't know much about this Cao Yun matter, but Jia Yucun and Xue Jun, especially Xue Jun, who had a lot to do with Cao Liang and knew the inside story, agreed greatly.

The governor of Caoyun is only responsible for Cao affairs, but this Cao affairs has a very wide jurisdiction, as long as it is related to the storage and transportation of Cao grain, he can ask about it, so this is the concurrently held position of the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise this is the governor of Cao Yun, how can he serve the public? In particular, how could the local officials along the canal bow their heads and bow their heads?

"Then Brother Feng means that Governor Li is either in Liaocheng or Zhang Qiu?" Zuo Liangyu rubbed his hands, looking eager to try.

He grew up on the edge of the wharf, he often climbed the boat to play on the canal, the farthest north out of the province to Cangzhou, the farthest south to Xia Town, in the first half of the spring famine he also climbed the boat to Texas, so he is quite familiar with this waterway, as long as he can board the boat on the wharf, the rest is not a thing.

"This is my estimate, but whether this is the case or not, we will not know until we go to Liaocheng."

Feng Ziying estimated that if she could get out of the city at night, then she would take the waterway to Liaocheng for about 100 miles, and it would take at least one day and one night to arrive by land, which would be very smooth.

If you take the waterway, it is faster, a mountain shuttle comes quickly, you can run more than ten miles in one hour, and you can reach Liaocheng in three or four hours.

The problem is that waterways need boats, where to find them at this time?

But now is not the time to think about it, how to get out of the city is the biggest problem.

"Brother Feng, if we want to go out of the city, the most convenient path is to take it along the Dongti Street of Yongqing Gate, but I am worried that those dog thieves will definitely have to worry about the guards coming out, so there must be an ambush along the line of Yongqing Gate, and we are afraid that we will be arrested."

Zuo Liangyu showed his advantages at this time, from childhood to adulthood, the streets and alleys of Linqing City have been drilled by him, there is no place he is not familiar with, he also realized that Feng Ziying is deliberately investigating him, so he is also very hardworking.

"Can't go north, just go to the south, there are two roads in the south, one is to go out along Yongqing Street, go to the drum tower to drill through, but the drum tower must be guarded by bandits, can't pass, then go around the fire temple, you can go to the canal, that line was originally the wharf of the grain gang, but before we saw that the people of the grain gang were surrounded and slashed by bandits, and many people died, retreated to the river and ran away by boat, it is estimated that the wharf was occupied by bandits."

Feng Ziying became a little anxious, "Isn't that why we're cornered?" ”

"No, there's another way, but it's a bit of a risk." Zuo Liangyu's eyes flashed with light, "You can walk before you reach the front of the Drum Tower, don't go to the Fire God Temple, but take Banjing Street on the other side, there are ordinary poor people behind it, I estimate that if this gang of bandits has an internal response, they will definitely not bother to be in that area, we can sneak through the alley behind Banjing Street, and we can sneak to the entrance of Gulou East Street, that is, the East Water Gate, and go to the ,......."

Feng Ziying immediately understood, "You mean, let's sneak out of the East Water Gate?" But will the bandits of Gulou East Street and East Water Gate not defend it? ”

"There must be bandits guarding it, but the bandits don't have boats, even if they grab a few boats from the grain gang, but they definitely don't dare to go out of the East Water Gate to fight with the grain gang, the grain gang can support those people on dry roads and waterways, if it weren't for the fact that there are too many bandits, I'm afraid they won't retreat, the grain in the shop on Gulou Street is where the grain gang is worth, so as long as we sneak out of the East Water Gate, it's done." Zuo Liangyu was very sure, "It's just Brother Feng, how are you watery?" If not, you'll have to find a plank. ”

Feng Ziying is average in water, but in his previous life, he was a strong swimmer when he was in college, and this swimming requires a habit, and it is not a problem to change a body at all, not to mention that he is only a twelve-year-old now, so it is even more fine.

"Okay." Feng Ziying nodded.

The time was too tight, and the two didn't discuss much before going out, and now they are discussing while walking.

"It's broken! Why are all the bandits coming here? As soon as he got out of the street, Zuo Liangyu quickly shrank back and exclaimed: "They didn't dare to come here before, I thought they were afraid that the guards in the city would come out." ”

"Hmph, they must know that the guards in the city will not come out, how can they not be deployed along the line?" Feng Ziying was also a little annoyed, it would have been nice to come out earlier, but it was too early, it was not dark yet, and it was easy to be noticed, so they didn't dare to take this risk.

"Erlang, is there any other way to get around?" Feng Ziying frowned and looked at it.

"Then we have to try the stone archway, but we have to go back and go around in a big circle, and walk to the Guandi Temple behind the scorpion pit, and it may be too late." Zuo Liangyu was not sure either, and shook his head.

Feng Ziying's heart sank, and it was possible that the side of the Guandi Temple would be controlled by the thief army, and she might have to retreat when she walked over.

"Is there any other way?" Zuo Liangyu shook his head dejectedly, "There are only these two paths." ”
