How could Li Mao not be surprised when Li Feng spoke the words of Yeyou Country?

"Are you kidding me?"

Li Feng was a little unhappy and said: "How can I joke about such a thing?"

Li Mao looked at the words on the letter carefully, and after a long while he asked, "Where did you find it?"

When Li Feng mentioned this, there was a look of pride between his eyebrows.

He took the initiative to find a place to sit down, having long forgotten that he was a soldier who had left the army without permission and was about to be punished.

"I originally sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion last night to avenge you, brother. I didn't expect to find Sheng Yu writing a letter in the study. After I left, I found this letter still beside him. I found out that he was actually in collusion with the people of Yeyou Country. Tell me, is it that even God can't stand this and is helping you, brother?"

Li Mao listened to Li Feng's emotional account of Sheng Yu, his brows furrowed, but he still couldn't believe it.

"This, this could be a mistake. Sheng Yu has been an official for more than ten years. How could he be such a person?"

Facing Li Mao's disbelief, Li Feng snorted and said, "Brother, you have served the court for many years, but doesn't the emperor still doubt you now?"

"you……"

Li Mao said nothing in the end and burned the letter to ashes under the candle.

Li Feng said angrily: "Brother, are you crazy? Why did you burn it?"

Li Mao looked at the flames coming out of the letter in the air, and quickly became depressed. He said, "Even if what you said is true, His Majesty doesn't believe it. Even if I question Sheng Yu, he won't admit it. This letter is a disaster if it is left here. If it is discovered one day, even ten mouths will not be able to explain it!"

Li Mao did have this thought.

Li Feng opened his mouth, sighed and said, "Brother is right, what should we do now?"

"Go ahead and get your punishment. Don't mention this to anyone else. Just pretend it never happened!"

Li Feng said dejectedly: "Then I have worked in vain!"

When Li Mao heard this, he angrily scolded, "You stinky boy, you went there even though you knew it was dangerous? Don't you want to live anymore?"

"Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Li Feng knew that Li Mao did all this because he didn't want to involve himself. After burning the letter, there would be no evidence, and it would be useless even if it was discovered in the future.

The letter was gone. Li Feng went out and took the initiative to be beaten with a military stick fifty times, and thought that the matter was over. Who would have thought that Sheng Yu would post a notice at the city gate, saying that he had encountered thieves and lost valuables, and that a strict investigation was needed.

Li Mao did nothing after hearing this, but the melancholy in his eyes could not be dispelled.

Li Feng also realized the seriousness of the matter, and he knew that Sheng Yu did this in order to find him. He couldn't help but admire Li Mao's decision that day.

After the notice was issued in Langzhou City, Li Mao brought Deputy General Wen into the city to pay his respects the next day.

And casually asked Sheng Yu if he needed help.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yu refused outright and refused to help.

Li Mao didn't take it seriously at the time, but he felt something was wrong after coming out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Since valuables had been lost and notices had been posted, Sheng Yu actually refused the help that was offered to him.

This is clearly a sign of guilty conscience.

Suddenly, Li Mao thought of the burned letter, and wondered if Sheng Yu was looking for this letter. Thinking of this, Li Mao's eyes suddenly shrank, and a bad feeling spread throughout his body. Ah Qi, who was in the city, had noticed the news of Li Mao's entry into the city early in the morning and told Nangong Jing.

Nangong Jing was worried about not finding an opportunity. When he heard that Li Mao was in the city, he thought that he had wasted a lot of time in Langzhou, so he said, "You find a way to send him a message and see if he is willing to come and see you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ah Qi turned around and went out again.

Nangong Jing now has a new definition of everything in Langzhou.

Especially the city lord Sheng Yu.

There are officials of all ranks in Langzhou City. What are their identities and how much do they know about Sheng Yu?

If there is a chance, I will find out one by one.

Li Mao and Deputy General Wen had not yet left the city when suddenly a passerby ran over like a headless fly.

This frightened the people around him and they started screaming.

Li Mao tightened the reins in time, and the horse was frightened and its hooves were in disarray.

The passerby fell to the ground in shock, covering his arm. Deputy General Wen immediately dismounted and said to the passerby, "How could you have bumped into me on such a wide street? What's your intention?"

The passerby didn't say anything, but just kept shouting in pain.

Li Mao thought of the day when Sheng Yu drove him out of the city, and he couldn't get angry even if he was angry.

He came over to check the situation and said, "Don't scold him. If he really had eyes, he wouldn't have bumped into us!"

"But who is he, General? It's obvious that this guy did it on purpose!" Deputy General Wen saw that the man was screaming in pain, and the way he did it was as artificial as it could be.

It doesn't look like he was really injured at all, it looks more like he is trying to blackmail someone.

Li Mao checked the man's injuries and just as he put his hand on him, he was suddenly grabbed by a passerby.

"You have to compensate me. My arms and legs are still hurting!"

Deputy General Wen saw that this man had grabbed Li Mao's hand very forcefully just now, and did not look like he had no strength at all.

This is clearly nonsense.

"General!"

As soon as he shouted, he was stopped by Li Mao.

Because while the man was holding Li Mao's hand, he also put a small note into his hand.

Li Mao calmly helped the man up and said, "Deputy General Wen, find a nearby clinic. I'll help this young man over there!"

When Deputy General Wen heard this, he was unhappy, but he still responded.

As soon as the deputy general left, the passerby immediately became respectful and said, "General, don't break your promise!"

Li Mao was confused. What do you mean by breaking a promise?

"you……"

But that person had already left and quickly disappeared in the crowd.

This person is Ah Qi in disguise.

Li Mao then unfolded the note in his hand, which had written a lookout pavilion outside the city.

The handwriting looked very familiar. Li Mao looked at it for a long time before he remembered that it was Nangong Jing's notes.

He was suddenly shocked. Nangong Jing was in Langzhou?

How come he was in Langzhou?

But no one could answer his question.

Deputy General Wen hurried over and said, "General, there is a pharmacy ahead. Hey... where is that person just now?"

When Li Mao came to his senses, the person had already disappeared into the crowd.

"Well, I gave him some silver and let him go!"

Deputy General Wen said angrily: "That man must be a scammer. He is not guilty at all. The general should not give him money!"

Li Mao didn't care about that anymore, he said sullenly: "Let's go, leave the city!"

"Yes, General!"
