The atmosphere in the city at this time is weird!
No one stayed in the usually noisy market at this time, and everyone hid in the house after the gong sounded in the quiet street.

In the streets and alleys, there are only teams of running soldiers and galloping cavalry.

The sound of knocking on the door can be heard in the distance, which is the team entering the house to search.

There were also people coming and going in the Qi mansion, and the domestic servants who usually kept them sorted out their weapons, big knives, short spears, and poisonous needles.

Qi Kexian also changed into a suit of neat clothes. If he couldn't snatch Qi Heng out today, he was going to hide in the grassland first and encourage the Dilu tribe to attack Hecheng.

Then inform the family in the capital that Zhao Tinglei colluded with the Di clan and slaughtered the imperial merchants to rebel.

With the support of the eldest princess and the imperial concubine, even if Zhao Yanjiao is now the Duke of An, this matter cannot be done well.

The Dilu Grassland has always been the worry of the Wu Dynasty.

How to accompany the tiger is the method that the emperor wants to find.

The Qi family used business to deal with the Dilu tribe, which was also a means of seeking peace.

If the city is in chaos and Xiashi Pass falls, the new emperor who has just ascended the throne will have a headache.

But before that, Qi Kexian had to remove himself.

Qi Heng and others need to be found, life or death will not refuse.

And the group of people from the old mountain forest in the other courtyard should be sent out as soon as possible. If they fall into the hands of the Zhenbei army, they will not be able to wash them clean.

"Patriarch, the group of people from the other courtyard left Hecheng half an hour ago and have already passed Xiashi Pass!" Someone came to report.

Qi Ke nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

As soon as Qi Heng disappeared, he asked someone to notify the other courtyard, and let the people in Laoshanlin leave Hecheng through the secret passage, and then find the route he had long ago to leave the customs.

As long as no one gets the stolen goods at the same time, I am not afraid of being searched by the garrison.

As for Qi Heng...he believed that his nephew was smart, and he knew what he could and couldn't say better than himself.

The Qi family has been operating in Hecheng for decades, so it is very easy to inquire about things.

Only after the initial panic, everything that happened inside and outside the restaurant was known.

Even the strange things about Qi Heng came to light.

Although the process is not very clear, when the third master of the Qi family disappeared, someone saw a Dilu noble girl jumping from the private room into the carriage, and the carriage was picked up by the Zhenbei Army in the city and went out of the city directly, and entered the barracks outside the city.

This is obviously a route for deliberately kidnapping hostages.

It also clearly shows that Qi Heng is in the hands of the Zhenbei Army, and now the city is searching for nothing more than those evidences.

No matter how powerful the Qi family is, they cannot infiltrate the Zhenbei barracks. Even if they know that Qi Heng is inside, they can't do anything.

Only the garrison with its dense eyeliner has become a sieve, and the positions of the three of Lin Qingyuan are clear.

It's just that now Lin Qingyuan is under strict protection, and his eyeliner can't get close.

There is another person who makes Qi Kexian angry and wants to be the most, and that is the "Noble Lady of the Di Clan"!
Now Di Lu's noble daughter is also in the garrison mansion, and it is still a small courtyard with only a few maids.

He didn't know if this was a bait deliberately left by Zhao Tinglei, or something else...

In any case, this noble daughter of Di Lu is the key to Qi Heng's disappearance.

And those two censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate...

As time passed, another day and night fell, and the city was still brightly lit.

Some were dragged out of the house crying and screaming, and some tried to escape and were quickly caught.

Although this intensive search came suddenly, for the well-trained Zhenbei Army who was accustomed to obeying orders, it was only considered a bloodless military training operation.

But soon they couldn't relax.

There were more than [-] corpses in an ordinary house, the blood on them was still wet, and this was also a key search area.

Whistles sounded all over the city!
In the garrison mansion, Zhao Tinglei kept assigning manpower.

Because I missed Song Liyun's greeting post the night before, it is a bit sudden to deal with it now.

Fortunately, the Zhenbei Army has always been under his command, and a team of thousands of people is at his command.

In just one hour, the security at Kip Shek Pass was upgraded, the checkpoint was closed, and people were prohibited from moving around.

In the city, there are also three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Some people in the discipline are hard to fly. This is what Zhao Tinglei has long wanted to do.

In the past, he was just a thousand households of the Zhenbei Army, and the old emperor hinted that the local government was not in harmony with the Zhenbei Army.

The Yunzhou garrison and the Hecheng government office have no other friendship except for the unpleasantness of asking for military supplies, food and salaries.

Now Zhao Tinglei is on the guard, but the Qi family is in control everywhere, and he is in cahoots with all the merchants in Hecheng, monolithic and unable to intervene.

But today is different, Qi Heng disappeared, the Qi family was in disarray, the Qi family was looking for someone, and the Zhenbei Army took the opportunity to also look for someone.

Moreover, dozens of helpers were caught in the restaurant during the day, and the merchants in the city who were originally linked together were caught off guard.

In a short period of time, the Zhenbei Army searched half of the city like a blanket.

Song Liyun leaned against the window and watched the movement outside.

The Anhua courtyard where she lives is not only one courtyard, but several independent small courtyards, which are prepared by the garrison mansion for officials who come and go on official business.

Two of them, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also live here.

There was only one wall separated, the noise from outside came into Anhua Courtyard, and the maids and servants were very nervous.

In Song Liyun's room, a servant girl had come to ask twice if she wanted tea, and another rough envoy had come to refill the lamp oil twice.

When the maid came in for the third time and asked Song Liyun if she wanted to eat supper, Song Liyun called her: "What do you want for supper?"

The maid was stunned, and then replied after a while: "At this time, the stove is usually hot with porridge!"

Song Liyun raised her eyebrows, and came to ask if she wanted to eat supper, but she didn't know what it was, what a surprise!
She waved her hand: "You don't need supper, you go down! I'm going to bed!"

As he said that, he walked from the window to the bedroom, and put down the curtains to wrap up the tent.

Seeing this, the maid turned her head and went out, without waiting to turn the corner, she ran directly to the second gate.

In the room, Song Liyun blew out the lamps and candles, took off his coat and hung it on the bedside, and took out a roll of sheepskin from the space and put it under the bed, pretending to be sleeping.

After tidying up, she lay down at the foot of the bed, took out the invisible cloth to wrap herself.

In the dead of night, people were lying on the ground close to the ground, and the sounds from outside were even more clear.

Only after a cup of tea time, a series of footsteps sounded from outside. When they stopped at the door of the room, they hesitated for a moment, and the knife picked the door bolt.

Under the hazy moonlight, Song Liyun saw a pair of soap-topped fast boots slowly approaching the bed.

Before anyone came to see what was on the bed, Song Liyun had already quietly wrapped a rope around the man's ankle from under the bed.

"Wow" was the sound of the quilt being lifted. When the man saw that there was a roll of sheepskin under the quilt, he felt bad and quickly pulled away.

But... after taking two steps, his feet tightened, and the whole person fell into the air and fell to the ground.

Song Liyun didn't understand the invisibility cloth either, and rolled out from under the bed, swung an ax in his hand and smashed it on the man's forehead.

The man was in a mess when he fell, only to see a gray mass roll out from under the bed, and before he could cry out in surprise, a black stick hit his face.

All this was just a breath, and the man's brain was smashed to death.

Song Liyun didn't go to move people, she listened first, and there was no more movement outside, then she carefully looked at the person who tried to kidnap her.

It was a middle-aged man, dressed as an official servant, he seemed to be a staff member of the Garrison Mansion.

Ha ha!

Coupled with the maid and rough envoy just now, this garrison mansion is really a sieve!
