Chapter 043 Spying in secret

"Your Highness, I will escort you to the county government office."

"Just sleep here. I'm too lazy to go back and forth."

"But the conditions here..."

Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand and said, "If Doctor Jiang can sleep, I can sleep too."

Seeing her insistence, Sui Mo stopped trying to persuade her and immediately asked the Mo Group to prepare.

In the empty wing room, with clean straw mats and bedding, Qin Zhaoyue fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as his pillow touched hers, and soon he began to snore softly.

Looking at the little face that was still wrinkled in sleep, Sui Mo couldn't help laughing, remembering the time when he fell asleep in the Huangji Palace with such audacity.

Who would have thought that the "absurd and mischievous" Sixth Princess would be like this in private.

If the news of what happened that day were to be reported back, I'm afraid the people in the capital would just sneer at it.

"Sister Suimo, you smiled..."

The smile on his face immediately disappeared, Sui Mo turned around abruptly and looked at Mo Er coldly.

"What are you still standing there for? Get out!"

Mo Er stuck out his tongue. Although he looked very serious, he spoke in an almost inaudible voice, probably because he was afraid of waking up the princess.

Leaving the wing room and closing the door gently, Sui Mo ordered, "The six of you go back to the county government office to change people."

"What about Sister Sui Mo?"

"I will rest after my rotation. Don't forget to bring some clothes for the princess."

After the six-member group left, Sui Mo moved a chair and stood guard in front of the door, taking out the syringe.

"What are you doing?"

Sui Mo was not surprised at all, as he had already sensed the other party approaching.

Without stopping the movement of his hands, the needle tip pierced the skin.

She slapped the back of her hand to make the "blood vessels" stand out, and inserted the needle accurately into the "vein". She watched it more than sixty times, and even used her Qi to sense it many times. She was confident that she could do it.

But after actually trying it, I found that it is not that simple. It is slippery, and I have to insert it accurately and control the direction to avoid piercing.

No wonder the Sixth Princess didn't let her try. It seems that it would take a lot of practice to achieve this.

However, she is at the fifth level of cultivation, and with her keen observation and extremely steady hands, she should be able to master it with a little practice.

Found it!

After successfully inserting and withdrawing, Sui Mo raised his head and asked, "Commander Meng, is there something wrong?"

Even though he hadn't slept all night, Meng Jian didn't look tired.

Even if one has just developed the sixth level of Qi, his endurance is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

But the Sixth Princess had been highly concentrated for five consecutive hours, so it was inevitable that she would feel tired.

Meng Jian saw clearly what Sui Mo was doing and naturally understood what she was doing.

But when facing the deputy commander of the imperial guards, her attitude was too calm. Wasn't she even pretending?

"I recognized your identity."

He was still in between the two before, but after using his true energy in front of him, Meng Jian was sure that the person in front of him was from the Qingluan Guard.

"So what?"

Meng Jian heard a clear confrontation in the words, "Sui Mo, huh? Have I ever offended you before?"

"Commander Meng, you're worrying too much. I serve in the Imperial Court and I've never met you before."

"That's strange. I consider myself to have good intentions."

Sui Mo sighed, put down the syringe, and glanced across at the other side with a stern look. "Why is Commander Meng playing dumb? The very approach of some people brings malicious intent."

Meng Jian was stunned, but soon understood the meaning of these words.

At this moment, he suddenly raised his head, jumped lightly onto the roof, and rushed to the west in the blink of an eye.

Sui Mo also stood up immediately, put the syringe in his arms, and held the hilt of the sword, keeping alert.

Just now, she sensed someone spying on her, and there were fluctuations of true energy.

This intensive care unit receives either civilians or refugees. What is there worth a Qiwu realm expert spying on?

The only worthy target is the Sixth Princess!

Meng Jian ran as fast as a galloping horse and arrived at the western sentry post.

"Commander Meng!"

Seeing him falling from the sky, the imperial guards at the gate immediately perked up.

After guarding this place for three days and facing a severe water shortage, everyone became more or less lazy.

Meng Jian's eyes swept across their cracked lips without asking if they noticed anything unusual.

Looking around, in addition to soldiers, there were also civilians responsible for carrying the corpses.

From last night till now, there have been more than forty bodies, and they are the only strangers coming in and out.

Meng Jian secretly gathered his true energy and slowly walked towards them.

His subordinates were confused, but they could see that their leader had discovered something.

"Surround them."

"yes!"

Soon, the imperial guards at the west gate surrounded the civilians.

"General...what is this?" Old Man Yan heard the noise and quickly got up from the cart.

At his age, he couldn't bear to stay up all night long. After the work was assigned, he spread a mat on the cart and fell asleep.

At this time, he found himself surrounded by soldiers and was immediately frightened.

"Master Jun, did these guys cause any trouble?"

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the person sleeping against the pillar in the corridor and quickly kicked him awake, "Why are you sleeping? Get up!"

Meng Jian lowered his eyes. There were thirteen people in total, including Old Man Yan.

He said calmly, "Point at each other and see who is the stranger."

Although the reason was unknown, no one dared to question it and immediately started talking about it.

Most of them were police officers or substitutes, and only a few of them were relatives. Their final target was a young and strong man, who was the one who came with Old Man Yan last night.

“This…” Under the gaze, Old Man Yan shuddered suddenly, “Sir, he’s just here to do the work, I… I…”

The job of moving corpses is unlucky, especially for people who died of illness. Ordinary people are simply unwilling to take on this job.

They didn't know that they would be paid 500 coins for moving the goods for one night.

Old Man Yan is in charge of the charity cemetery, so there is no such taboo. Bringing his nephew along would cost one or two taels of silver for one night!

Unfortunately, his nephew fell ill due to poor health. He was reluctant to give up the reward, so he hurriedly asked the neighbors to introduce him to a hired worker and offered a price of three hundred coins before he finally hired one.

Did something happen? Just for two hundred coins?

Just when he was frightened out of his wits, Meng Jian had already stepped forward and headed straight for the young man.

"General...General, I am..."

The young man was terrified, but he was trembling and had no time to explain. Meng Jian's palm strike, filled with true energy, had already arrived, with the power of wind and thunder.

At the moment of contact, the young and strong man raised his hand instantly and caught the move as fast as lightning at the critical moment.

That’s not all. He took advantage of the recoil force to rise up and flew over the sentry post as lightly as a swallow.

Meng Jian's eyes were cold, and he quickly took action to dissipate his strength.

Even if he held back in order to test him, the other party at least possessed the strength of the fifth rank.

"Keep an eye on him."

"yes!"

As soon as he gave the order, Meng Jian had already rushed out.

In the blink of an eye, the person in front was about to turn the corner, his speed was unbelievable.

After chasing him for three blocks, he still completely lost track of the other person.

Meng Jian stood on the street with a gloomy face.

The opponent is quite powerful and has mastered extremely exquisite martial arts skills.

What he practiced was a martial art that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Meng family and was most suitable for the military's large-scale offensive and defensive operations.

Going for the Sixth Princess?

Although others were unaware of the trap set for the Sixth Princess in the capital, his Meng family still had some information.

If the plan fails, why follow him all the way to Mingyan County? What's the point?
