The room was like a pantomime, the sound of the old monk putting down the water glass was inaudible, and the man outside the window looked puzzled, probably wondering if he had found the wrong place.

Qingyan used her spiritual sense to observe around the wing to see if there were any guards or hidden guards. After all, that middle-aged man didn't look like an ordinary person.

In the end, she really managed to find two, one was on the bright side, standing outside the door, with a long knife on her waist, her hand on the handle all the time, always on guard.

In addition to this guard, there is also one hidden in a big tree not far outside the wing. Although there is no weapon in his hand, there is a wide cloth belt around his waist, with a row of willow leaf flying knives hidden on it. It seems that he is good at concealed weapons.

Qingyan told Chou Chou about the situation here, and Chou Chou divided his consciousness to stare at the lady and the two fake monks, and also looked at this side.

Then he said to Qingyan: "Both of them have a token in their arms, engraved with a character Li in seal script."

"Li? Is it from Li Hao's family?" Qingyan guessed.

Chou Chou: "You just know his family. There are many people with the surname Li. Don't forget that the king of Xixia is also surnamed Li."

Qingyan recited the history silently in her heart. In 881, Li Sigong was appointed as the envoy of the Dingnan Army, and the Li regime lasted for a total of 346 years.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sigong, the leader of the party Xiang Tuoba, was named the Jiedu Envoy of the Dingnan Army for his meritorious service in pacifying Huangchao, and granted the land of Wuzhou.

Dangxiang successively surrendered to the regimes of Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty.After the five prefectures were annexed by the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian left to start a business. In 990, he was named the King of Xia by the Liao Dynasty and successively occupied the states in the Hexi Corridor. In 1038, Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country...

"Well, I almost forgot that Xixia is also surnamed Li, so could this person be from the Xixia royal family?"

Now that the Song Dynasty was established ahead of schedule, the Xixia side might also be progressing ahead of schedule.

If the one in the wing room is from the Xixia royal family, and the abbot personally received it, then there may be something wrong with this temple.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Aunt Chen and the others chose to pass the news here, it is very likely that this is one of their strongholds.

At first she thought it was because they happened to meet this temple fair that they chose this place, the women in the back house could go out, and they could get away with it when there were many people.

I didn't expect this possibility. This temple is all other people's territory.

If this is the case, then the man who just ran into her outside is not necessarily an enemy. He should have come to monitor the two people inside.

One is suspected to be a member of the royal family of the Xixia Kingdom, and the other is the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, who is suspected to be an undercover agent here. The man who eavesdropped outside is likely to be one of our own.

Qingyan had been following him and guarding against him, but now she might want to help him.

It's just that people who don't know who the other party is, if they are the magistrate or Li Shoubei, they can actually pass on what they heard before to him, and then pass it on to his superiors through him, which may be more useful than telling Li Hanqin.

After all, he hasn't been on the front line yet, and it's not certain whether he can get in touch with generals who value this matter, and these people are active here, and they don't necessarily care about the affairs of the border gate. What if there is something here? Conspiracy, but also waste of time.

Of course, it is also possible to tell him. Even if he leaves at most, he can let Old General Li continue to investigate the matter. It is not good to say other places. Qinzhou is his territory, and he can always find something. .

The two people in the room were still playing chess seriously, only the sound of black and white chess pieces falling occasionally, and there was no conversation at all.

The man squatting outside had no impatient look on his face, presumably he was used to this kind of thing.

But soon the guard in front did not continue to stand at the door, but began to move.

First, he walked to the left, as if on patrol. Qingyan saw that he quickly turned to the side of the wing room. If he continued to walk forward, he would soon be able to go to the back, and it would be easy to find that he was squatting behind. people.

The guard was very cautious, he walked in a daze without making any sound, the man under the window didn't notice it, and was still listening there.

If their identities were as Qing Yan thought, then once this person was discovered, no matter whether he heard anything or not, he would definitely be silenced immediately.

"Chou Chou, think of a way to remind him, if it's someone from your side, we've done a good deed."

Chou Chou nodded and manipulated a small stone with his spiritual sense, and hit the opponent directly.

The man's back was suddenly hit by a small stone, and he was shocked by the pain.

He turned around and looked around, then jumped up without hesitation, ran towards the other side, and hid in the gap between the last wing room and the main courtyard wall of the temple.

He suspected that he had been spotted, so he moved first and had room to escape. He knew he had misunderstood when he heard the footsteps accelerating on the other side, and someone should have reminded him at that time.

He lowered his body and held his breath, trying not to make a sound.

And just as he got in, the guard also ran behind.

As soon as he heard the movement, he quickly rushed over from the side, but found that there was no one behind, and there were no traces on the ground.

However, he didn't relax his vigilance either, he directly pulled out the knife and held it in his hand, and walked forward. The ground was still clean, so he turned and walked back.

There are a total of three wing rooms in the last row, all of which should belong to the abbot, a quiet room for meditation, a bedroom, and a reception room currently in use.

The reception room is on the far left, next to the small courtyard for receiving pilgrims, and there is a gap between which only one person can pass.

The gap that the man got through was on the other side, between the bedroom and the courtyard wall. This gap was very narrow and could only allow one person to enter sideways.

Since he wanted to help, Chou Chou carefully wiped away the footprints on the ground with his spiritual sense, so even if the man was suspicious, he saw that there were no footprints on the ground, and he didn't chase there, but stayed on the side for more time After a while, after listening to the movement, he turned and went back to the front.

The man in the gap slightly poked his head out at this time, just in time to see the back of the guard turning around, he quickly retracted his head, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then became vigilant again.

He stretched out his hand and touched his back with difficulty. The stone was very painful just now, so he couldn't have felt wrong. Sure enough, he was not discovered by the people inside, but someone secretly reminded him.

The man said thank you softly to the sky, then he drilled in along the gap, didn't go to the front, but turned over from the wall directly in the middle.

Qingyan gave him a thumbs up in her heart, fortunately he didn't go to the front, if he slipped through here, he would just be seen by the guard who just came back to the front.

Because the guard walked to the right anxiously, wanting to see if there was someone hiding here. After climbing over the wall and going out, the guard also walked to this gap. Return to the original position and continue to guard the goal.

The place where the man climbed over the wall happened to be on the side of the wing, so the wall was shorter than the house, and the hidden guard on the tree didn't notice it. It can be said that he escaped a catastrophe.

Qingyan's consciousness followed that person all the time, and after leaving the temple there, she headed towards the temple fair in front and quickly approached the crowd.

Then I walked around for a while, entered the temple through the side door, came to the back, and went back to one of the courtyards.

The back courtyard is divided into two sides. The left row is for female pilgrims, and the right row is for male pilgrims. There is a small garden in the middle, and the two sides do not disturb each other.

The monks live in a staggered row, and the three rooms of the abbot are at the end, just next to the courtyard where the men live.

After the man came in from the front, he returned to the yard where he jumped out of.

It was the courtyard where Qingyan met. Qingyan was so busy following him with her spiritual sense that she really forgot to see if there were other people in the courtyard where he came out.

Shen Consciousness followed him into the yard, and then into the room, where there were also two people sitting there, one was a literati who looked to be in his thirties, and the other was an old man with gray hair.

After seeing the old man's face, Qingyan was shocked, that man turned out to be Lieutenant General Wang Linyan!
Chou Chou told her before that Vice General Wang was much older than before, but she didn't have consciousness at that time, so she didn't see him.

When they passed by Qingfeng Town again, she did have consciousness, but at that time Vice General Wang had already left, and seeing her now, she was really much older than before, as Chou Chou said.

When I met him before, he looked like a man in his prime, but now there are many dimples on his face, his hair has also turned gray, and he suddenly aged ten years, which is considered to be an old age in this era.

Since this person is under the command of Deputy General Wang, he is also under the command of Old General Li. It seems that the Li family's control of Qinzhou City is still in place, and they have not let these people toss under the nose without realizing it , still noticeable.

That being the case, it's easy to say.

Qingyan shouldn't know Vice-General Wang now, but Xue Huan'er and Li Hanyun must know each other. This is their grandfather's confidant, and they must often go to and from the defense mansion. It is impossible for the Li family not to know each other.

etc!Li Hanyun said before that the one who can speak several languages ​​seems to be Vice-General Lin, so if she tells Vice-General Wang the Tubo language, I don't know if the other party can understand it.

Of course, you don't have to tell them what they said, you just need to tell Li Hanyun about the suspiciousness of the three people. A woman from a back house meets a monk and they still speak Tubo dialect, which is suspicious enough.

They will definitely investigate. As long as these people have problems, they are not afraid that they will not be found out.

Whether it's stalking or stalking, or directly arresting and interrogating, you can always get some news.

Then she told them all about the abbot and the scar-faced Xixia royal family, and that would be fine.

Thinking of this, Qingyan ran back directly from behind, and went to the front when she reached the side of their yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Xue Huan'er, Wang Qingyue and Li Muxue were about to go out, and they immediately greeted her when they saw her.

Xue Huan'er took her hand, looked at her first, and said, "Where did you go? You went to the latrine, we waited for a long time but no one came back, so we asked someone to look for it, saying that the back was empty, and thought you were there." It was kidnapped."

Embarrassed, Qingyan scratched her head, hugged Xue Huan'er's arm and said to them, "No, I heard a voice behind me, and thought it was some youngster, so I chased it out, and chased it all the way to the monk's house, to confirm It’s all my fault that I came back after I had nothing to say in advance and made you worry.”

As he spoke, he quietly gave Xue Huaner a wink.

Xue Huan'er's mind was not slow, and she immediately understood what was going on.

After all, her husband's family was born in the army, so she still has some sensitivity to some things.

Knowing that there was an outsider there, Hengyue couldn't say it directly, so she went back into the room with her strength.

Qingyan apologized to Mrs. Wang again, which really worried them.

Xue Huan'er asked the remaining maid to look for others, saying that Miss Yang had already returned and there was no need to look for it.

After sending away the servant girl, she directly pulled Qingyan to sit down. Mrs. Wang happened to be a little sleepy, so Wang Qingyue helped her go to the house to rest.

The servants are not here, so she can only go in to take care of her mother.

Sending Li Muxue in to take a nap, Xue Huan'er directly dragged Qingyan to the yard, and asked in a low voice what was going on.

Qingyan looked around with her spiritual sense, and then said to her: "After I chased it out, I found it was a man, so I continued to chase, but the man didn't find me, and stopped in the third courtyard , and flipped in.

I went in together, and then I heard the voices of a man and a woman. They were speaking in Tubo dialect. I couldn’t understand them. I just waited outside. Guess what?

Then a young monk came out, but that monk didn't have a ring scar, and it was unclear whether he was a real monk or a fake monk.

Then another woman came out. I seem to have seen it at the prefect's banquet. She looks very ordinary and is very tall. "

Xue Huan'er knew who it was as soon as she heard it, "That's Mrs. Chen, the wife of General Jianmen. The first time I saw her, I thought it was a man from the back."

"Yes, yes, at first, I also thought it was a man disguised as a woman, but later I saw that she has no Adam's apple and her facial features are considered soft, so I didn't admit my mistake.

Afterwards, I followed that monk, trying to find out who he was, and then found out that he knew the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, and he should have a relationship with this abbot.

Also, I took a peek at the abbot's room, and there was a man with a scar on his face. He looked like he was in a high position, and there were hidden guards around him. The hidden guard in the tree found out.

I also helped someone who was also eavesdropping there. I don’t know if it’s the enemy. Later, I followed him back to a courtyard on the side of the male pilgrim. I heard him call Vice General Wang in the room. I don’t know if it’s from our side or the enemy. square……"

Xue Huan'er pondered for a while before saying: "Husband's grandfather has a deputy Wang, but I don't know if it is him. I think the rest of the people you mentioned are a bit problematic. This Qingyuan Temple may be a den of thieves.

In this way, I asked my fifth brother to go over there to have a look. He is more familiar with Deputy General Wang. "(end of this chapter)
