auspicious time has come

Seeing Hengyu's expression, Shaoyan nodded.

Then, he took out a small box from his sleeve: "Aheng, the deputy king entrusted me to hand it over to you, saying that the Marquis of Dingbei had told them to stay near the Princess's mansion before he left the city—— If you need help when you encounter danger or make progress, you can use this as a signal, and when they see it, they will come to help you."

Hengyu took it, opened it to look, and saw that the contents were not unfamiliar.

They are a few pieces specially made by Mr. Su that can replace the sounding arrows.

When she was invited to the Jiang family sister's birthday party earlier, he had given her this object for self-defense because he was suspicious of Jiang Linggong at that time.

The scene of him patiently demonstrating to her how to use the object in the Yanchun Building flashed before his eyes, Heng Yu closed the box, put it away, and calmed down.

"Let's go."

……

The stars are slanting horizontally, and the sky will be bright.

Those who are in a hurry have already left the inn where they rested at night at this hour, mounted their horses one after another, and traveled northward through the unidentified mist.

The reason why I didn't rush all night last night was because there was a steep mountain road ahead.

At this time, a group of people entered the mountain and walked through the forest. When they were halfway through the journey, the young man in the lead suddenly tightened the reins, slowed down, looked forward vigilantly, and raised his left hand to signal the subordinates behind him to move forward temporarily.

In the early morning, there is a lot of mist in the mountains, and it seems to hide an unknown dangerous atmosphere.

Immediately, everyone raised their hands to touch the sword behind them in silent alert.

"rub--"

The sound of the sword being unsheathed sounded, and in the thick fog in front of him, black shadows suddenly appeared one after another covered with the mist, like night bats that had been dormant all night and leaped silently.

The birds in the mountains flapped their wings and flew away in fright.

There are quite a lot of ambushers, and their skills are all the best of the best, and their moves are all aimed at killing people.

There were no more than a dozen people who entered the mountain, with few enemies and many, although they tried their best to support them, they gradually showed signs of being invincible.

While the young man was resisting, his back was attacked. The long knife cut through his robe and injured his flesh. The next moment, blood poured out, which was strangely black.

The young man in Xuanpao sideways avoided the fatal blow, and cut off the arm of the person behind him with his sword, but he was forced to the edge of the cliff because of this.

The sand and rocks on the edge of the cliff are loose, and the strong mountain wind blows up the clothes.

The sword light flashed, thick blood splashed, and the morning fog was dispersed.

……

Heng Yu suddenly woke up from the nightmare.

Sitting up, sweat has soaked through the thin shirt, and the loose black hair is also soaked in sweat and sticks to the ear.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down the emotions that hadn't been completely separated from the nightmare.

It has been three days since Xiao Mu left Beijing.

When he left Beijing at this time, he must have a thorough planning and preparation.

Moreover, there has been no news for three days, and most of them are safe. At this time, I think they have already escaped from the reach of Li Wei's minions... The further north, the better for him.

Thinking of this, Heng Yu slowly opened his eyes and regained his composure.

She sat quietly, carefully reviewing her recent gains in her mind.

On that night three days ago, she and Shaoyan tried to go to Li Wei's residence to investigate the situation, and they have roughly figured out the situation in the past few days——

There's no special defense there, at least on the surface.

Because Li Wei does not live in the mansion now, apart from the maids and servants cleaning the courtyard every morning, there are only two maids staying at night.

But it is worth noting that every morning and evening, meals are secretly sent to that residence—this is the clue that Shaoyan and A Rui found in the daily meal schedule in the kitchen.

Therefore, it can almost be concluded that there are indeed people who are secretly detained in Li Wei's courtyard.

……

As soon as the city gate was opened, there were fast horses presenting the urgent report into the palace.

The urgent report was sent to Beijing in two successively, one of which was the Xidi Military News——

"Anxi Jiedu envoy Zeng Xin's rebel army is now fighting the Turkic army, and the forces of both sides are being restrained and delayed!"

There was an uproar in shock in the hall.

Previously, Zeng Xin rebelled suddenly and gave up the defense of the western region. The officials of the court had asked Princess Yongyang to write a letter to persuade her to surrender, but to no avail——

But now, the opponent's [-] soldiers are fighting with the Turkic army? !
Before Dingbei Hou killed the Turkic envoy Gaque, the Turks gathered their troops because of this, and Zeng Xin rebelled. The troops resisted, but the situation was not optimistic. The governments either made excuses to delay their refusal, or they were like a mantis' arm, and they seemed to be powerless in the face of the rebellious Anxi army and Turkic barbarians.

But in such a situation, no one dared to make a claim and propose to mobilize the capital's cavalry to fight——

Under the desperation, at this time, the Anxi rebels were confronting the Turks... To put it bluntly, isn't this just dog eating dog?

Although I don't know how the two sides fought, but at this time the forces of both sides are restrained, which is undoubtedly a great thing for the court!
With this respite, there is enough time to deploy troops.

Thinking about the pros and cons of this, most of the officials looked slightly relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since Jiang Zhengfu and other officials were detained, Princess Yongyang, who had been listening to the government in the Yanying Hall, had naturally turned cold when she heard the news.

A few days ago, Zeng Xin's secret letter asking for help was delivered to her...

She wanted to use Zeng Xin's power to disrupt the Western Regions and restrain as many troops as possible so that she could gain power in the chaos——

But she never expected that Zeng Xin would be stopped by the Turkic army!
This may sound absurd, but there is no accident behind it...

Thinking of Xiao Mu's mention of killing Jia Que with a sword before, Princess Yongyang sneered from the bottom of her heart.

She had already noticed the difference in this matter, since Xiao Mu had already suspected that Mrs. Xiao was killed by her at that time, there was no reason to kill Gacque again "to avenge her mother"——

Before that, she didn't understand the intention, but she couldn't figure it out. It turned out that it was waiting for her here...

Xiao Mu had long suspected or even known that Zeng Xin was her person, and it was false to kill Jia Que, and it was true to use Jia Que to secretly reach some unknown agreement with Turkic——

The Turkic mobilization of troops was not to take advantage of Jia Que's death to take advantage of the fire, but to prevent Zeng Xin from rebelling!

As early as when Mrs. Xiao had just had an accident, before everything really surfaced, Xiao Mu had already planned all of this early.

Foreign thieves against domestic thieves——

It's really a tricky way of soldiers, which is unexpected.

There was a hint of a smile in the eyes of Princess Yongyang, and she sighed slowly: "This is really... God bless me Dasheng."

It's a pity that the "sky" is already dark——

She raised her eyes to look at the gloomy sky outside the hall, which was about to rain at any moment, and the smile in her eyes became more real.

There are wizards in the world who fall, even God is regretting it.

"Report—!"

Soon, the second urgent report was delivered to the palace.

The person who reported the letter knelt in the hall, holding something in his hands trembling, and there was still a long-lasting uneasiness on his face——
