After a while, someone rushed into the Liu Family Manor and said, "Not good! She came with her shadow guards!"
The person in the room stood up suddenly: "How many people are there?"
"Eleven."
"Are you sure she's in it?"
"Confirmed! Xiao Tangzhi gave me a secret signal, and I looked carefully. One of them was wearing the jade crown that Xiao Tangzhi had just given her. Judging from her figure, she was also a woman."
"Okay!" the man said, "Then we'll set up an empty city plan for them and lure them in first!"
Because Prince Duan and His Royal Highness Fu Yan were here, the patrols in the city were tightened. A group of men in black slowly moved forward along the wall, and no one noticed that the man in black carrying the box was the last one to fall behind.
When they arrived at the gate of Liu's manor, someone jumped up lightly and looked inside.
The courtyard was quiet, with only one room lit. In the room, two people were vaguely seen leaning against each other and making love.
Someone sighed and said, "That boy is really lucky!"
...
...
Another person said, "Don't make things complicated! Hurry up!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and all the men in black took a deep breath and jumped in together. Only one of them jumped up, but he retreated halfway and fell back.
At this time, according to the original plan, the two men in black had already rushed to the window, then silently poked through the window paper and blew the incense in. Behind him, the other men in black all crouched on the ground, just waiting for someone to fall, and then they would go in and drag him away.
The next moment, several people suddenly jumped out from the surrounding grass and rushed forward with knives in hand.
The men in black were caught off guard, and many of them groaned, having been tricked.
When the leading man in black turned his head quickly, the window in front of him suddenly opened.
The man in black saw that this person was not Yan Shiyue and said anxiously: "No..."
The person inside the window had a packet of poison powder sprayed in his face.
When the man in black retreated hastily, he was already covered in the liquid, and the people around him also fell down.
The person in the window immediately jumped out, grabbed the person next to him, and pulled off the mask. He was also shocked and said, "Wrong! She is not!"
The next moment, a large bag of drugs was thrown in from high up. A stone arrived first and broke the paper bag with a "pop". The drug powder immediately scattered like flowers from heaven, covering the heads, faces and bodies of the people who were fighting.
Moreover, the efficacy of this powder was surprisingly strong. These people were all experts, but they just shook it and fell down, unconscious.
After a while, the shadow guard arrived with the officers and soldiers.
Xiao Tangzhi, who was carrying a box outside, walked away leisurely.
Then the shadow guards led the soldiers in, tied them up one by one, removed their jaws, and secretly escorted them back to the capital...
These people were sent by two countries, and they dared to attack His Highness Fu Yan. Now that they were caught in the act, Emperor Cheng Sheng could use this opportunity to make trouble. Although they are both small countries, a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. If they don't want to fight, then just give money!
Xiao Tangzhi threw the box away on the road. These people were still very honest. When they said two catties of black gold, they meant exactly two catties.
When he returned, the shadow guard had caught the fake Tang Shiyue based on his information and was interrogating him.
Seeing him come back, Yan Shiyue asked, "Is it solved?"
Xiao Tangzhi responded with a smile, and when the shadow guard came back and told him, Yan Shiyue sighed, "You are mixing the two forces together? Great, great."
Xiao Tangzhi bowed in a formal manner: "Thank you, thank you!"
The next day, Prince Duan also got the news. After asking in detail, he frowned and said, "I didn't think it through. Your ability is something that the neighboring countries cannot help but covet. When you were in Chang'an City, they had nowhere to start. Once you left, all the demons started to run wild."
"It doesn't matter!" Yan Shiyue said, "After these two groups go back, the others should behave themselves, right?"
"It's hard to say," Prince Duan said, "What you know and can do is too bizarre, enough to make people take risks." He paused and said, "If it doesn't work, why don't you go back to Chang'an?"
"Let's talk about it later. Now that we are here." Yan Shiyue said, "Fourth brother, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter. I won't run around."
Prince Duan nodded after a long while, and then said: "Why do you like to use people from the underworld so much? After all, their actions are not in accordance with the law."
"I don't like to use them, it just happens!" Yan Shiyue waved her hand: "Use the right person for the right situation, don't worry about it."
Prince Duan said nothing more.
So the group continued on their way.
The fake Tang Shiyue, the shadow guard interrogated her, and she actually firmly believed that she was the real Tang Shiyue.
Then after several days of detailed questioning, they found out that he was actually related to Tang Shijin.
It seemed that someone from Goguryeo found Tang Shijin, and Tang Shijin told them about her in detail. Then there was a wise man in Goguryeo named An Zhengmin, who said that Yan Shiyue must have come from the afterlife, and he didn't know what method she used to revive... Then he invited a master to perform a ritual on the spot to summon this person over. No one knew how he brainwashed him, but this person firmly believed that he was Tang Shiyue.
All right, Yan Shiyue will write a letter to Emperor Chengsheng, asking him to propose conditions to Goguryeo when the time comes and get this An Zhengmin to see how wise he is.
As for Tang Shijin?
She was too lazy to pay attention to him and even too lazy to clean up.
After that, the boat trip was peaceful, and we changed to a horse carriage. It took more than two months before we finally arrived in Yuezhou.
Today's Yuezhou is desolate and dilapidated. There are no cement roads or bluestone roads, just mud roads.
The end point of the highway initially decided upon by Prince Duan, An County, was even more backward than Yan Shiyue had imagined.
The Jubao Village back then was, after all, a rich and beautiful small village with a few blue brick and tile houses. But here, the houses are made of adobe and are dirty and messy. There is no Shangbu or Yuefang at all. There is mud everywhere you go, and the wheels of the cars sink after a few steps, so that the horses cannot pull the cars.
Even Wei Xin couldn't stand it anymore and said, "This place is really unacceptable. Let's go to the inn in Jing County!"
Yan Shiyue held his forehead and said, "It depends on what Fourth Brother thinks!"
Prince Duan decided to investigate here.
Then the craftsmen and others he brought with him built a shed on the side of the mountain to facilitate surveying in the mountain. Prince Duan lived in the county government office, while Yan Shiyue stayed in the home of a wealthy local businessman named Qian.
He was said to be a wealthy businessman, but in fact he was just a local rich man. Most of the bedding and utensils were brought by her herself. After she settled down with difficulty, the lady of the host family, Zhao, came over to pay her respects with great fear and trepidation.
Yan Shiyue talked to her in a friendly manner for a long time before Zhao finally relaxed.
Then Yan Shiyue asked her for two pairs of leather boots and went out with Wei Xin to take a look.
The air stank, and the ground was like it had just rained. If you stepped on it, the mud would cover your ankles. The fishermen came back from fishing, and the water in their baskets would leak as they walked, day after day, so the road was never clean. Not only was there mud, but there were also some rotten fish and shrimp.
Yan Shiyue went to the county government office to take a look.
The county government office was not as nice as the small courtyard house where she lived in Jubao Village. The straw was even visible on the top of the wall.
Fortunately, the ground was paved with stone slabs. Yan Shiyue stamped the mud on his feet and saw a long-time attendant. He asked him, "Where is the fourth brother?"
The attendant looked embarrassed and said, "Your Highness is watching someone repair the house. It's leaking a little."
Yan Shiyue was not surprised at all, so he went over to take a look, and then he saw a man dressed as a county magistrate, standing and talking with Prince Duan.
As she passed by, the man turned around after hearing her voice, bowed and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I, Wang Anshi, greet the Prime Minister."
It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Shiyue staggered due to the smoke.
The air itself has a fishy smell, which is fine once you get used to it, but this county magistrate...his clothes are so greasy! His sleeves are all greasy!
She tried so hard to suppress the urge to cover her nose that she didn't notice the name of the county magistrate.
