Nangong Jing came back to his senses, knowing that he had been distracted just now. He felt a little embarrassed, so he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and said, "What did you say?"
Ah Qi paused and said, "The princess is not safe in Baihuzhou. Should we send a few more secret guards there?"
"No need, she can protect herself!"
"yes!"
Nangong Jing's heart sank when he thought of the letter just now saying that the person sent by Li Mao to Yuzhou City had been captured.
Knowing that Li Mao was suspicious, he did not lead the army directly to Langzhou. He must have been extremely anxious, so he resorted to this desperate measure.
But there was one thing that Nangong Jing couldn't understand. Since Li Mao was already suspicious, why didn't he send troops yet? He even sent people to Yuzhou City to investigate. What did he want to do? "Go and call the general over. I have something to discuss with him!"

Seeing that he could not persuade Nangong Jing at all, Zhang Yan had to agree, but he asked questions about the current situation of the military camp.
In fact, Nangong Jing had a deeper purpose for this trip, which was to see Li Mao.
The two looked at Nangong Jing and Ah Qi and asked uncertainly.
"Yeah, hey, you don't know?"
At this moment, the eyes of these people revealed an expression that was all about money.
The hardness on Nangong Jing's face was finally defeated by the softness in his heart.
There is a desire in greed that is irresistible!
"Are you a merchant?"
Is there some suspicious person? If so, then if they go in now, they would be walking into a trap.
"Can……"
Ah Qi hurried forward and stopped the passerby who was talking.
"Two brothers, please tell me, do we need to be searched and checked when entering and leaving the city now?"
Nangong Jing nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we just started the business not long ago. Can you two tell me what the situation is in Langzhou City?"
Nangong Jing and Ah Qi's clothes were too gorgeous, so when they entered Langzhou, they found a village nearby with dozens of households.
He hurried down to arrange everything, allowing Nangong Jing and Ah Qi to leave the military camp quietly.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Ah Qi said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the interrogation at the city gate is so strict, is it..."
Upon hearing this, Ah Qi took out a silver ingot from his arms and asked them to take out what they could.
"Well, it's nothing. It just happened five or six days ago. They said there were thieves in the city and they were searching for them!"
That kind of scene is not only helpless, but also a little bit impossible to face. The scene is not bloody, but it is heartbreaking to watch.
Although Zhang Yan was dissatisfied, he did not dare to go too far.
"Ah Qi, take some money and buy them some food and clean clothes!"
"I have to be searched every day when I leave the city. It's so annoying!"
The two of them casually looked around at the vendors outside the city gate, hoping to hear if there was any reliable information.
Ah Qi took them all away without even looking at them.
Zhang Yan didn't want to hear this, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, can you please not go?"
"That's right. How can I be a spy if I'm just a fishmonger? Searching me every day will only delay things!"
Ah Qi has become accustomed to indifference and is not moved at all, but the same cannot be said for Nangong Jing. He simply cannot avoid this kind of look.
Nangong Jing is the backbone of the entire army. Others can be sent to lurk, so why does he have to go alone?
Ah Qi turned and went out.
"As long as we don't send troops, nothing will happen!"
When Nangong Jing and Ah Qi heard this, they looked at each other and both felt that there was something wrong.
"I have two purposes for this trip. One is to investigate the strength of Li Mao's army, and the other is to find out the situation in Langzhou!"
For him, a prince, seeing all this was like seeing the mistakes made by the officials in the court when they were governing the world's affairs.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. To be honest, when Nangong Jing was fighting on the border in the early years, he had seen all kinds of people, people who were about to starve to death, people who sold themselves to bury their fathers...
The two men found a secluded place, changed into coarse linen clothes, and entered Langzhou City disguised as civilians.
Among them was a piece of coarse linen clothing brought by a pretty widow.
"Don't worry, this place is only two hours away from Langzhou. If anything happens, I can rush back as quickly as possible. Don't worry!"
"yes!"
"If you ask me, it's not some damn thief, it's just this General Li who just came recently and is very troublesome!"
Nangong Jing thought for a moment and said, "Five days at the earliest!"
When Zhang Yan came over, Nangong Jing made a decision and planned to sneak over there personally.
Nangong Jing was quite open with Zhang Yan, but there were some things he did not make clear.
There were soldiers guarding the gate of Langzhou City, and everyone leaving or entering the city had to be searched.
Nangong Jing had made up her mind and Zhang Yan couldn't stop her.
"My Lord, when will you return?"
As soon as you walk out of the village, the place is already filled with things.
He always felt that Li Mao's behavior was too strange.
Nangong Jing was still wondering why Li Mao didn't take action directly.
"Look again!"
Seeing Nangong Jing and Ah Qi wearing such nice clothes, everyone's eyes widened like copper.
"Then if something happens in the army and you need to make a decision, how can I contact you?"
The people in the village were dressed in ordinary clothes and had sallow complexions, looking as if they had not had enough food for a long time.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. You are of noble status. If you go to Langzhou to hide, what if you are discovered..."
Zhang Yan was shocked when he heard the news and immediately objected.
Nangong Jing came over, cupped his hands and said, "Two big brothers, we are in the city to purchase goods. There was no such situation when we came here a few days ago. Why do we suddenly need to check? It's a bit strange!"
Ah Qi was slightly stunned, thinking that these two people were quite cautious.
"Yes, yes, it's that General Li. He's always busy. Since he came, he's either conducting searches or leading troops in drills all day, making everyone panic. It's strange that he hasn't sent out any troops in the past few days, but now this has happened!"
Nangong Jing and Ah Qi listened to the two people talking back and forth and understood. Li Mao's previous military drill was just waiting for Nangong Jing to bring the army over.
But he didn't expect Nangong Jing to not come. He guessed that he was anxious, so he withdrew his troops and sent people to Yuzhou City to inquire. Now he has caused such a scene in Langzhou City...
I guess they were preventing Nangong Jing or others from sending some spies into the city.
"So that's how it is. Then I'm relieved. I'm just running a small business. As long as they don't ask for protection money, it's fine!"
