The people on Xiao Xian's side also showed a state of combat readiness, waiting to confirm that Feng Yi could enter the capital, and then they would quickly cooperate.
Feng Yi took the bamboo tube off the gray mouse and took out a topographic map.
Erhuo took out a piece of jerky from his pocket. The mouse held the jerky and ate it with gusto.
No matter how much Xiao Xian disliked Feng Yi, since he had accepted his help and the two decided to join forces, he had no intention of continuing to act pretentiously.
He strode towards Feng Yi, "What's the situation in the capital now?"
Feng Yi handed him the topographic map. "But I don't think this place where Kangdi is imprisoned is real! Even if it is real, it must be full of dangers."
Xiao Zhao had been holding back for such a long time, and finally found an opportunity to completely crush Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui into the dirt, leaving them speechless.
Even Xiao Xian was part of this calculation. It was certainly impossible for him not to keep a close watch on Emperor Kang when he expected Xiao Xian to come back.
"I've considered the situation you're describing before! But, after all, he's the great emperor, my father. Even if I knew it was a trap, I would have rushed into it without a second thought."
Feng Yi could understand his feelings very well, but could not agree with his decision.
"You have to know that once you get stuck in it, Xiao Zhao will definitely take advantage of you, and it might be difficult to turn things around."
"This king can take care of all this!"
As long as he can deal with Xiao Zhao, Da Gan's dilemma will be resolved.
"As for the infectious diseases in the capital, I will give the antidote that Li'er gave me to the people of the Shadow Pavilion. I will first put it into the well. As for the river, my people can deal with it."
"Then when can I enter the capital?"
"Tomorrow night."
Xiao Xian frowned and pondered for a moment, "It's a good time to take a break first."
During this period, he led Guangping and others without sleep and encountered several ambushes in succession. His body was already exhausted to the extreme.
Once we enter the imperial palace in the capital, there will inevitably be a tough battle to fight.
"This is the pill Li'er gave me. You can take one."
Xiao Xian stared at the porcelain bottle in Feng Yi's hand, feeling bitter in his mouth.
If he had been nicer to Qu Li at the beginning, even if he hadn't strangled her, made sarcastic remarks, and insulted her, perhaps her heart wouldn't have been hurt like this!
"How rude of you." Erhuo curled his lips and muttered softly when he saw that they didn't even say thank you.
Feng Yi glanced at him sideways, and he opened and closed his lips twice, but finally kept silent.
After Xiao Xian and others took the pill, they felt that all the fatigue in their body disappeared instantly, especially in the dantian area, as if a warm current was flowing through.
Everyone sat cross-legged and began to regulate their breathing.
Erhuo and others also sat back with Feng Yi.
Feng Yi touched the mouse's head and tied two bottles of pills to its body, "Go!"
The mouse ran very fast, entered the capital through the hole in the wall, and successfully returned to the Shadow Pavilion.
When the deputy leader saw that the mouse had finally returned safely, his anxious heart finally settled down.
Following Feng Yi's instructions, he had someone throw the pills into the well.
As night fell, the deputy pavilion master paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
Qian Jiuzhao propped up his face with one hand and complained listlessly, "Can you please stop walking around? It makes me dizzy."
"You also know how complicated the situation in the capital is right now! It's very difficult for the master and his men to enter the city now."
"My master is very agile. I believe this wall will not be able to trap him."
"You are optimistic."
The master and Prince Chen are like water and fire.
If Xiao Xian had not led his troops to defeat Southern Qi, his master would not have had to go to Dagan as a hostage, and would not have had to endure so much pain and humiliation.
These accounts have not been settled yet, and Qu Li has appeared.
It is said that when rivals meet, they become extremely jealous of each other. Who knows if they will fight?
Qian Jiuzhao has been trapped in this capital city for a long time, and he is always worried about being infected, so his nerves are always tense.
When he heard that Feng Yi was coming, he finally relaxed. Naturally, he didn't think as much as the deputy leader.
There was a rustling sound outside. Qian Jiuzhao and the deputy leader exchanged glances, and they both quickly opened the window.
Feng Yi and Xiao Xian appeared in sight together, and the deputy leader was extremely excited.
"Don't say anything extra for now. What is the current situation in the capital?" Feng Yi spoke briefly, his eyes emitting a cold and deep light.
The deputy leader poured him some water.
Xiao Xian sat aside, but did not pick up the teacup.
Qian Jiuzhao's face suddenly darkened: "Although I look down on Qu Li, I now finally understand why Qu Li looks down on you."
Xiao Xian slowly raised his eyes.
When their eyes met, Qian Jiuzhao's throat tightened because of his overly sharp gaze.
In order to relieve the discomfort, he coughed violently twice, and then he felt that his breathing was smoother.
"Shadow Pavilion has its own well behind it, so it's fine."
Feng Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "No one from the Shadow Pavilion has contracted the disease?"
"Not really. Several people went out on missions and came back with persistent high fevers!"
Feng Yi touched his chin and thought carefully.
Xiao Xian stared at the cup of tea in front of him, his brain working at high speed.
Almost at the same time, they both said, "There's something wrong with the water!"
The deputy leader was stunned. "Water?"
"The epidemic in the capital is spreading very quickly, but there are also many people who are not infected. This is clearly different from the plague." Feng Yi explained.
"Master, what you mean is that these people who were infected with the plague actually drank poisonous water?" Qian Jiuzhao was very smart and figured this out quickly.
"If there is a problem with the water source, then Xiao Zhao deliberately wants to use the epidemic to cause panic among everyone, and then have a perfect reason to blockade the entire capital." Xiao Xian opened his thin lips slightly, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.
"No wonder the master asked us to throw these pills into the well." Qian Jiuzhao muttered.
"What's the situation in the palace now? And Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui." Feng Yi asked again.
"The situation in the palace is currently unclear. Xiao Zhao has replaced all the guards at the four gates: the east, west, south, and north. As for the Second and Fourth Princes, they are currently imprisoned in the Sky Prison, being personally guarded by Xiao Zhao's men. As for the Second and Fourth Princes' mansions, the guards aren't very tight."
Feng Yi nodded and said to Xiao Xian, "You stay here first. I'll go out for a while."
A few days ago, Lao Mo gave him a message that Ruan Su in Xiao Ci's mansion was his person.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Xian asked in a cold voice.
"Of course I have something important to do." Feng Yi threw a few words at him mercilessly.
Xiao Xian pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek and said, "I want to see Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci. Please make the arrangements."
