Shu Blossoms

Chapter 494 It's a Trap
When the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the mountains and forests, the soldiers began to set up stoves to cook. They smiled brightly under the afterglow of the afterglow after being hungry all day and night.

Zheng Heng pulled the cook over, suppressed his excitement and said with a smile: "Make dry rice tonight, so that the brothers will be full!"

The cook responded readily, and the soldiers who heard it couldn't help but cheered in a low voice. They haven't had a full meal in the past few days.

And Yin Shi and Ma Xingyun, who were also wearing afterglow, came outside Jiujiang City, looked up at the majestic and solemn Jiujiang City Gate, and the two looked at each other firmly, the carriage continued to move, and slowly entered Jiujiang City.

Although they guessed that the city should be a scene of peace and prosperity, they still couldn't help being surprised when they saw the scene in front of them.

At dusk, there happened to be a family getting married, a welcoming team with gongs and drums, a groom riding a tall horse, and people watching the excitement around. It was really lively.

After the welcoming team left, they continued on their way and found a post house to temporarily settle down.

In the post house, Ma Xingyun asked Yin Shi, "Sir, what shall we do next?"

Yin Shi stroked the crutch in his hand, was speechless for a while, and then suddenly said after a long time: "Ayun, do you think our journey is too safe?"

Ma Xingyun said puzzledly: "It's good to be safe, if something really happens, I can't protect you, sir!"

"I don't need you to protect me. I can take care of myself. Go out quietly and buy some food!" Yin Shi ordered, and Ma Xingyun was even more puzzled, "Sir, there is food in the post house, just go to the front and say something."

"Go, I heard that Jiujiang is not closed at night, and the night scene is bustling. It's so easy to come here. It would be a pity not to take a good walk. I'm too old to walk. Go and see, and come back and tell me."

Yin Shi insisted on letting him go out, Ma Xingyun had no choice but to get up and prepare to leave.

Yin Shi said again: "Take the money with you, and remember to avoid some people, it's better not to attract attention to the bad news!"

Ma Xingyun was a little confused when he heard Yin Shi's words. He didn't understand, and Yin Shi didn't explain, so he could only leave in a daze.

He went to the toilet first, and then disappeared from it.

When he reappeared, he was already in the noisy street market.

Jiujiang Street Market is indeed very lively at night, and it seems to be extraordinarily lively tonight, like a special day, standing here, he even feels as if he is in Jiankang City.

Ma Xingyun remembered Yin Shi's instructions. Seeing many people wearing masks, he also found a pleasing one to buy and put them on. He walked briskly in Jiujiang City and saw the steaming food stalls on the street. A strong aroma drifted over.

He couldn't help walking over and standing by the side watching the boiling broth in the pot, his stomach couldn't help but growl.

"Lang Jun, do you want to drink crock pot soup?" The boss looked at it and asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Ma Xingyun nodded, then pointed to the white pastry eaten by the other person and said, "One more plate of this."

"Okay, a crock pot of soup and a plate of white sugar cake!"

The boss happily yelled and brought it to Ma Xing.

Ma Xingyun couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup, sighed comfortably, then picked up the white sugar cake and took a bite.

At this time, a group of horsemen galloped away from the main road in a hurry, and the dust splashed in this direction. Ma Xingyun hurriedly protected his food and cursed, "You don't have to worry about hurting your horse when you run at night." Man, it's too arrogant!"

The owner of the food shop gave him a quick look, "Keep your voice down, this is a member of the city defense battalion, and he is the personal soldier of General Han's family Sanlang Jun. Are you talking nonsense?"

The diners at another table followed suit: "It's really strange. People from the city defense battalion have never raced in the city. What happened today? What happened?"

Ma Xingyun watched the people from the city defense battalion leaving with relief, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He quickly drank a few mouthfuls of soup, grabbed a handful of white sugar cakes and stuffed them into his arms, threw down the money and rushed to the posthouse where they had stayed overnight.

The more anxious he became, the more flustered he became, and the faster his steps became. When he ran outside the post house, he saw the people from the city defense battalion leaving the post house with their clothes on their shoulders.

He was terrified, and turned around at a loss, seeing that these people were about to take Yin Shi away, and he was about to rush up. At this moment, Yin Shi suddenly glanced at this side, shook his head slightly, his eyes were solemn.

Ma Xingyun understood it, and abruptly stopped in his tracks, then looked into the crowd again, and sure enough, he saw several suspicious people searching the crowd.

As soon as he shrank, he hid in the crowd and disappeared.When he appeared again, it was at the gate of Jiujiang City.

At this time, Jiujiang City has closed the city gate, and it is impossible to leave.

Martial law had already begun in Jiujiang City, and for a while there were city defense battalions everywhere, and they were hunting for Wei Xiaozuo who had sneaked into the city.

Ma Xingyun only realized at this time, what did Yin Shi mean by saying that it was too smooth? They were discovered just after they settled down. There is only one possibility. The entire Jiujiang City is an urn. They were discovered as soon as they entered the city, or even earlier. They have already arranged for themselves and Mr. Yin to enter the urn.

Mr. Yin must have discovered something, so he sent himself away on purpose, so that he could escape.

He has to escape now and pass the news to General Xiao and the third brother.

In Hongdu Shiye Posthouse, Xiao Yucheng received a letter sent by Zheng Cong, stating that the food had been delivered safely.

Hearing the news, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he felt uneasy in his heart.

He pondered for a long time and quietly left Shi Ye, and came to Zhai You's house under the cover of night. He picked up a small stone, flicked his index finger, and the stone flew into the window. I did it when I entered, and with the faint moonlight, I found the exact location where the small stone fell.

He picked up the stone, glanced out of the window, and thought of something to chase out, but these movements also woke up the sleeping mother Zhai, "Ayou, what happened?"

"It seems to be a wild cat. I'll go out and have a look. Go to bed, Auntie!" Zhai You walked up to Zhai's mother and comforted her softly, and then tucked her in the quilt before coming to the yard.

He searched around the yard but couldn't find anyone. He suddenly looked up and saw a figure standing on the roof of his house, and this figure looked very familiar. They had just parted ways during the day.

Xiao Yucheng pointed to the outside, then tiptoed lightly and jumped off the roof to the outside of the courtyard.

Zhai You hurriedly chased him out, "Mr. Xiao, what happened?"

"Are you familiar with Meiling outside the city?" Xiao Yucheng asked him.

"Familiar, my father often took me there when I was young!" Zhai You nodded.

"Okay, I have something important to ask for your help. Take a letter to Meiling, find the person you stole Yujue from before, and give the letter to him."

Xiao Yucheng took out the letter and handed it to him, and Zhai You took it and promised, "I'll go there early in the morning!"

When Xiao Yucheng went back, he suddenly noticed something unusual, hid in the dark and waited for a while, and saw a group of people riding past him on horseback, and those horses ran very little, obviously their hooves were bound.

The most important thing is that these people leave in the same direction as him.

Although he didn't chase after him, he had a strong premonition that these people were probably coming for him.
