Hearing this, Liu Yin looked to the right, and three zhang away, there was a woman standing, wearing a wide mink cloak and a hat with a wide brim, covering most of her face, so that Liu Yin couldn't see her true face at all. However, for Liu Yin, he is like an acquaintance in Jiangyouguan, and it doesn't make much difference if he can't see clearly, anyway, he is a stranger, and the woman's outfit is obviously deliberate, in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Are you ......," Liu Yin said curiously.

The woman lowered her voice and said, "Lord Youcheng, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhao Zhuo, who was very vigilant, immediately blocked in front of Liu Yin, for strangers, Zhao Zhuo, as a secret service officer, has professional sensitivity, and it must be unwise to let Liu Yin contact this woman alone without clarifying the identity of the other party.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you want to meet my family? Zhao Zhuo's eyes were like awe, two cold rays forced him over, and his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife, as long as the woman had any abnormal movement, Zhao Zhuo would definitely not mind the blood splashing five steps.

The woman looked around nervously, and said in a low voice: "Lord Youcheng, please believe that I have no malicious intentions, I have 100,000 urgent matters to report to your lordship, but it is not very convenient here......"

Liu Yin waved his hand to signal Zhao Zhuo to retreat, just a single weak woman, even if she tried to do wrong, I am afraid that there would be no chance to succeed in front of her, Liu Yin took her to an empty room next to her, and said: "This lady, it is safe here, please have something to say." ”

The woman bowed slightly, and said, "The concubine is the wife of Ma Miao, the captain of Jiangyou Guan, and the Li family is here. ”

This time Liu Yin was really surprised, this woman was actually Ma Miao's wife, and he was about to leave for the garrison mansion to meet Ma Miao, the Jiangyou guard, and sooner or later, his wife actually appeared in this place, which can no longer be explained by incredible.

Although it is said that the Han Dynasty's male and female etiquette defense is not as strict as that of later generations, it is far from the point of free exchange, Liu Yin really can't figure out what reason the Li family has to appear here and meet him alone, her face is pale, she can't see a trace of blood, and there is a trace of panic and uneasiness.

"Madame is here, what's the matter, but it's okay to talk about it."

"Your Excellency, are you going to the garrison for a banquet?"

"Exactly."

Li Shi half lowered his head, and said hurriedly: "My lord, you must not go to the garrison mansion!" ”

"Why is that?" Liu Yin was confused.

"Ma Miao is in the wings on both sides of the lobby, and there are hundreds of swords and axes in ambush, ready to smash the cup on the banquet, wanting to take the life of the adult, so you must not go to the banquet."

Liu Yinqi said: "I have no enmity with Ma Miao in the past, and I have no grudges in the near future, why did he come to kill me?" Madame's words are really hard to believe. ”

When Li Shi heard this, he hurriedly said: "My lord, the concubine can guarantee her life with her wealth, and she is honest, and there is no falsehood." My husband is an unfaithful and unrighteous person, who eats the country's money in vain, but does not want to serve the country, and often complains because of the low treatment. Yesterday, when the adults went to Jiangyou, Ma Miao was afraid that the plan to dedicate the city would be exposed, so he discussed in Wei overnight, and planned to ambush the sword and axe hand to murder the adult under the corridor during today's luncheon. The concubine came out because she didn't want to see her husband fall deeper and deeper, and she didn't want him to harm the people of Jiangyou and endanger the society of the court. ”

Liu Yin couldn't help but be stunned, this Ma Miao only thought that he was a righteous person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was still a ruthless character who was insidious and vicious inside, it seemed that he really looked down on him, and fortunately Li came to report the news, otherwise, he might be calculated by him.

Liu Yin bowed deeply to the Li family, and said solemnly: "Madame understands the righteousness, which is the luck of the court, please accept a certain worship." ”

Li stretched out his hand to help, but felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to say: "My lord doesn't need to be polite, I killed the concubine." Ma Miao is afraid that the news will leak out, the garrison is heavily guarded, and anyone is only allowed to enter but not out, although the concubine got the news last night, but the palace is very well guarded, and only when he arrives, can he have the opportunity to come out and report to the adult. Adults only need to leave Jiangyou now, and they can get out of the way. ”

Liu Yin smiled indifferently and said: "What is the mere garrison mansion, even if it is the Longtan Dragon's Lair, I must break through today." ”

Li Shi was shocked and said: "My lord, Ma Miao is merciful and ruthless, he has already moved to kill, and now the garrison mansion is a net of heaven and earth, if your lord goes, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Madam, please rest assured, such a thief who harms the people and misleads the country will be punished by everyone, how can I tolerate him? Mrs. doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore, and Mrs. will definitely repay her kindness in the future. Liu Yin said calmly.

Li smiled sadly and said: "As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, the concubine should know how to commit adultery and hoe evil, as Ma Miao's wife, the first husband is to abandon people, Ma Miao's sin, is the sin of the three clans, I don't want to have a life, only pity my pair of children, who are not yet adults, but they will be abandoned in the city, and the time is also fate." ”

Liu Yin was silent, Ma Miao colluded with Wei to commit treason and defect to the enemy, committing a first-class capital crime, destroying the three clans, these three clans, but including his wife Li's family, it seems that after the matter is over, he must also make a case to the court to protect the Li family from being implicated.

Liu Yin ordered to take the Li family down, not to let her go back to the garrison mansion, and to stay in the post house for the time being. Then Liu Yin readjusted the deployment, and the guards brought to the Ma Mansion increased from a few to twenty, and Liu Yin picked up the Qiang guards with good skills, and at the same time, Zhang Le did not have to guard in the post house, and selected two hundred brave men, secretly approached the garrison mansion, and waited for an opportunity to infiltrate the garrison mansion, specifically to deal with the sword and axe hand under Ma Miao's ambush. He also ordered Fu Zhu and Fu Zhao to bring 200 people each, and when the situation occurred in the garrison mansion, they quickly cut off the road between the garrison and the military camp to prevent reinforcements from entering the garrison mansion.

From Li's mouth, Liu Yin learned that Ma Miao had more than 100 sword and axe men in the mansion, presumably these people were Ma Miao's cronies, and the other troops were still in the barracks. Jiangyou Pass is not big, and the garrison mansion is correspondingly much smaller than those officials' mansions in Chengdu, and Ma Miao does not dare to mobilize too many people to the garrison mansion, for fear of arousing Liu Yin's suspicion. The total number of defenders at Jiangyou Pass was more than 1,000 people, and it was not good to crowd them all into the garrison.

This may be an opportunity for Liu Yin.

After preparing to stop, Liu Yin took Zhao Zhuo and twenty guards and rode straight to the garrison mansion.
