"Your Majesty, were these two tunnels dug after you ascended the throne?"
Ying Xixi asked casually.
"No, it was dug during the reign of the late emperor. Only the late emperor and I knew about the tunnel leading to here from Qiankun Palace. Now you are the third person to know about it."
Ying Xixi didn't know whether she should say she was flattered.
"I see, that's great. By the way, Yun, should we pretend first?
Tomorrow morning, I will go to court on your behalf and order the brave general to lead his troops to the border. On the surface, it is the brave general who is going to the border, but in fact, it is you who is going to the border.
But we can't let others know that it's you who's going to the war, including when we get to the battlefield, we can't let Lin Yueguo find out for the time being that it's you who's going to the war.
So should we do our disguise now or on the way?"
Xiao Xieyun curled his lips and took out two human skin masks from his bag.
"You can always do a disguise."
Ying Xixi opened her eyes wide, took the two human skin masks and opened them to take a look.
It’s hard to tell who it is. You have to wear it on the face to see it.
"Ayun, is your disguise as a brave general?"
"right."
Xiao Xieyun took the human skin mask and put it on his face, and a strange man appeared in front of Ying Xixi.
"General Xiaoyong is one of my trusted confidants, and I have already told him about it.
After he leads his troops out of Beijing tomorrow, he will find an opportunity to reunite with us, and then I will replace him.
As for him, he will also put on a human skin mask and blend in with the soldiers, and go to the border with us."
Xiao Xieyun explained simply.
Ying Xixi felt much more at ease when she saw that Xiao Xieyun had already made a plan.
"Ayun, we will take some soldiers away tonight, and General Xiaoyong will take another group of soldiers tomorrow.
Can the soldiers who remain in the capital city defend it?"
What she was worried about was that the scheming Lin Yueguo would suddenly do something weird again.
When luring a tiger away from the mountain, not only the tiger but also its subordinates are moved away.
"Yes, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Xiao Xieyun took off his mask, pinched Ying Xixi's cheek with his big hands, looked at her with a firm tone.
"I will personally destroy the Linyue Kingdom and kill Zhao Yonggang with my own hands to avenge my father-in-law!"
Ying Xixi's heart trembled, "Ah Yun..."
Xiao Xieyun's eyes were filled with tenderness, "Xixi, as long as you want to do it, whatever you want, I will satisfy you."
As long as you don't leave me.
"Thank you, Ayun."
Ying Xixi threw herself into Xiao Xieyun's arms and rubbed her cheek against his chest.
The two hugged each other for a while, and then there was a knock on the door.
Ying Xixi quickly let go of Xiao Xieyun and sat down at the table.
Xiao Xieyun frowned and sat down, "Come in."
The person who came in was the commander of the military camp.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xiao Xieyun took a sip of water and put it down. "Are you ready?"
"Your Majesty, everything is ready and we can set off at any time."
"Are you sure there are no spies among the soldiers who left with us tonight?"
The question Xiao Xieyun asked made the commander stunned.
Are there any spies among the soldiers?
this.......
"Your Majesty, I'm not sure. I haven't checked the soldiers' conditions."
The commander answered honestly.
He knew that His Majesty had arrested many spies from the court some time ago.
Since spies can hide in the imperial court, there are probably some in the military camp as well.
Xiao Xieyun's face was gloomy, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the table.
The letter from the border came too suddenly, and he really didn't have time to check the military camp.
He only just remembered the spy matter.
But tonight we must rush to the border first...
After thinking about it, Xiao Xieyun didn't say much. He just asked the commander to gather the soldiers first and set off later.
After the commander left, Ying Xixi asked about Xiao Xieyun's spy.
"Ayun, what if there really is a spy from the Linyue Kingdom among the soldiers heading to the border with us?"
"No problem, as long as I don't show up."
As he spoke, Xiao Xieyun took out five human skin masks from his bag like a magic trick and placed them on the table.
"These masks are all different. We can just put on any mask and blend in with the soldiers first, then switch with General Xiaoyong later."
Ying Xixi: “….”
Who said Xiao Xieyun is a simple-minded person? He had people make these human skin masks and kept them there a long time ago. Wasn't it just for emergency use?
She was actually looking forward to what kind of "surprise" Xiao Xieyun would give her later.
A moment later, two men with ordinary faces came out of the house and ran straight to the entrance of the tunnel.
Some soldiers had already entered the tunnel. The commander guarding the tunnel saw the two men with changed faces, understood, and then let the two men follow him into the tunnel.
Ying Xixi was protected by Xiao Xieyun all the way, holding her hand tightly. She passed through the tunnel smoothly and arrived at the exit.
The tunnel leads directly to the outside of the capital, and the exit is just behind the Ten-Li Pavilion.
When Ying Xixi came out of the tunnel, she saw the soldiers gathered nearby.
Under the moonlight, there was a large crowd of people.
It seems that there are at least thousands of people.
Xiao Xieyun and Ying Xixi stood next to the soldiers. The commander finally came out of the tunnel, carefully sealed the exit, and ordered everyone to continue.
Because we have to wait for the next few days to meet up with the soldiers brought by the brave general, we can only walk first and then use other means of transportation after the meeting.
So we have to walk for at least tonight.
