Cheng Xiaolian heard what Yang Youcai meant: "Mu Xiaodi led people to attack Mengmi City?" ”

Yang Youcai cried with a sad face: "I haven't attacked yet, but it's not far away, I said at the time that I wanted His Highness to be careful with Mu Xiaodi, now it's good, he himself led the army to attack Mengmi City, if the Mengmi City Lord strictly investigates the spies, we can't get out at all, this attack is simply the meaning of putting us to death." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was not so pessimistic: "Don't think of Xiaodi so badly, he won't be this kind of person, besides, if he really wants to do something unfavorable to us, take someone to pick us up directly, and then kill us and throw the corpses into the wilderness, who knows that he did it?" ”

"Your Highness, you are always too kind, he called borrowing a knife to kill people, he didn't have to do it himself, the Burmese soldiers could help him, and he would have a good reputation when the time came, we will be dead this time."

Meng Ke waved his hand: "Impossible, I also think that Mu Xiaodi is not this kind of person, if he was so scheming, he would not have been instigated by His Highness's two words to attack the city." ”

"You look like a good person with a big head!"

"Hmph, you don't look like a good person when you have a bad stomach!"

Cheng Xiaolian shouted angrily: "Don't quarrel, when is this happening, listen to me, Xiaodi can't do this kind of thing, let's think according to this strategy, since he won't betray us, why suddenly attack Mengmi City when we are away?" ”

Although Yang Youcai doubted Mu Xiaodi, he would not question Cheng Xiaolian's authority, so he began to think about it according to this line of thought: "If he is really of the same mind as His Highness, then he suddenly attacks Mengmi City, then there is a reason why he has to attack, for example, I heard that we were caught by the Mengmi City Lord, so we urgently brought people over." ”

It can be said that Yang Youcai is worthy of being the head of Jinyiwei, who has been dead for ten years, and he doesn't know the truth and deduces the truth almost based on two or three sentences, but because he always thinks about others with the worst thoughts, sometimes he will inevitably be biased.

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "That's right, after we escaped last time, coupled with the strange behavior of that team of soldiers, it can be inferred that the city lord of Mengmi City must know that there are spies who have run into his sphere of influence, but he can't tell what we are doing, and because we ran to the royal capital, in order to implicate him in the future, he can only claim that he has been caught, maybe Mu Xiaodi moved his troops because he couldn't hold his breath because of this news." ”

Meng Ke suddenly interjected at this time and said: "It doesn't matter what Mu Xiaodi thinks, it doesn't matter what Meng Mi City Lord does, the important thing is that we have to find a way to go back, otherwise this fight will start, the elite of the royal capital will definitely be dispatched, and we will definitely have no possibility of escaping at that time, no matter how we disguise, we can't pretend to be people who farm, after all, it is estimated that every village is strictly guarded at this time, and there will be no businessmen doing business in this situation?" ”

Yang Youcai nodded: "Meng Ke is right, we must hurry up and choose, either rush over, or retreat to Ava City." ”

Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "At this time, I'm afraid that the emergency military situation has already arrived on the table of the King of Burma, and we are afraid that we will not be able to mix it up if we pretend to be doing business, so let's lurk in Mengmi City first, and wait for the opportunity to go back." In addition, Yang Youcai, inform the Jinyi Guards of Ava City, and ask them to inform Mu Xiaodi, we are still in a latent state, and no one has been caught, don't let him act rashly. ”

Of course, Yang Youcai and they can't carry carrier pigeons with them when they come out, otherwise they will definitely be suspected, so they can only pass the news through the carrier pigeons in Ava City.

Yang Youcai hurriedly waved his hand and beckoned a brocade guard to do it, a person's goal is very small, even if it is easy to infiltrate Ava City.

After sending him away, Cheng Xiaolian looked at Yang Youcai: "Is there any place nearby where I can hide for a while?" ”

Yang Youcai scratched his head: "It's also the first time I've come here, and the Jinyi Guard of Meng Mi City hasn't been transferred, hey, it's all my fault, I should have transferred people out of the city in the first place." ”

"I don't blame you, who would have thought that the war would break out."

At this time, the old man suddenly spoke: "Young shopkeeper, I know that there is a place to hide." ”

Although Cheng Xiaolian didn't tell him his identity, the old man also guessed about it, as I said before, he was just honest, but he was not stupid at all.

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up, the old laborers were originally doing business in this area, and they were familiar with it at the time, so they hurriedly asked, "Hurry up." ”

"Twenty miles west from here, there is a village of Suotun, that village I don't know why all the people are dead, it has become a dead village, no one lives, and the people around say that the place is haunted, and there have been no outsiders to go, so it has been idle, if a few people are not afraid of ghosts, we can go there. Sometimes we brothers went out to run errands and had no place to live, so we would spend the night together, but nothing happened. ”

Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "Let's go, let's go to Suotun Village to have a look, I don't believe in ghosts in my life." ”

Meng Ke laughed: "Hehe, if you don't do bad things, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I'm not afraid, Yang Youcai, you are not virtuous and smoking, maybe the female ghost will come to the door at night." ”

Yang Youcai smiled with a smile: "I'm still looking forward to a female ghost looking for me, the Yang family is not yet there, and I'm worried about who will pass on the lineage to me." ”

A team of people talked and laughed at Suotun Village, it was already past noon, Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "The joke just now is a joke, we still have to be careful at night, since it is rumored that this place is haunted, it must be no wind and no waves, we can't be careless, prepare hay, we are all living in a house, arrange good people to be on duty at night, we are all here in the wind and waves, don't capsize in this small ditch." ”

Yang Youcai agreed with Cheng Xiaolian's statement: "That's right, there are not many of our brothers, we can't give our lives because of carelessness, if there is anything wrong, say it quickly, there is nothing to be ashamed of, brothers don't laugh at anyone." ”

Meng Ke laughed: "I said Yang Youcai, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" ”

"Fart, if Lao Tzu kills people and can go around this village, Lao Tzu will be afraid of ghosts?"

These people snickered and went to work, some fetched water and some collected firewood, all they thought in their hearts was that Yang Youcai, the big leader of Jinyiwei, would be afraid of ghosts.

Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai stayed in a large courtyard, and it could be seen that this courtyard should have been a big landowner, and it seemed very spacious.

"I said Yang Youcai, aren't you really afraid of ghosts?"

Yang Youcai swallowed his saliva: "Your Highness, I won't tell you, sometimes I can dream of those people I killed when I close my eyes at night, am I haunted by ghosts?" ”
