The dark guard led the order to retreat.

When it was time to set off, Ji Ruxuan's face no longer looked tired. Jiang Fuguang finally felt a little more relieved. He changed into a black outfit, put on a mask, covered his entire face, only revealing a pair of eyes, and followed Wei Si to climb over the wall from the backyard. Leave the inn.

Jiang Fuguang didn't know martial arts. With the help of Wei Si, he climbed up the courtyard wall. Looking at the deep alley where he couldn't see his fingers, he felt a little nervous. The sole of his foot slipped and he fell from the courtyard wall.

Wei Si hurriedly reached out to catch Jiang Fuguang, only to see a figure that almost merged with the night pass by in the deep alley. He stretched out his long arms and caught Jiang Fuguang.

It was Ji Ruxuan.

She didn't have time to be afraid, her feet had already landed firmly on the ground, and she hurriedly said: "I'm fine."

Ji Ruxuan hummed and carried her out of the alley. Four horses stopped at the entrance of the alley, and Polyudo sent by Luo Yan came to meet her at the entrance.

The four horses rushed toward the city gate like sharp arrows, with Polyudo leading the way. Ji Ruxuan and Wei Si went one behind the other, guarding General Jiang Fuguang in the middle.

Yuexi City was only one day's journey from Dali City, and we worked hard all the way, cutting in and out. On the morning of the second day, we arrived at the boundary of Binchuan in the east of Erhai Lake.

Binchuan is the east gate of the Bonan Ancient Road, the only place to pass by the Southern Silk Road, and an important town on the Yanma Ancient Road. It is rich in products and has attracted businessmen since ancient times. It is the brightest pearl in the southwest.

At this time, martial law was in place in the city. Jiang Fuguang and his party put on Naxi clothes and entered the gathering place under the leadership of Polyudo.

Polyudo took them to avoid the crowd, and after a long circuit, they finally came to a post house.

The Binchuan trade road was rugged and the mountain roads were steep, so horse caravans came into being. The local posthouses not only provided accommodation for merchants, but also provided stables, fodder, etc.

Polyudo exchanged the code with the shopkeeper, and the waiter nodded and bowed forward, leading them to a quiet courtyard in the backyard.

"This post is very safe. The girl will rest here first. I will go out to find out the news first, try to contact His Excellency Sheng Lilong, and arrange a secret meeting between the girl and His Excellency Sheng Lilong as soon as possible."

Jiang Fuguang thanked him and quietly winked at Wei Si. Wei Si understood and went out with Polyuto.

Polyudo is Luo Yan's confidant. He should have a way to avoid being heard and contact Sheng Lilong. No matter how difficult it is, he can find out about Sheng Lilong's current situation.

After entering the city, Jiang Fuguang secretly paid attention to the movements in the city. In addition to the city gates being guarded and entry and exit strictly prohibited, the shops and vendors in the city continued to operate as usual. Although there were not many merchants on the street, there were not none. This shows that there should be no major changes in Sheng Mansion, at least So it seems.

Yun Zhongguo frequently provoked and caused trouble at the border, and people in the city were panicked. If something happened to Sheng Lilong, it would be hard not to spread the news. Yueji City should have been in chaos long ago. Yun Zhongguo wanted to capture Dali City by surprise, but he did not want to cause trouble and scare the snake. , Sheng Lilong's situation shouldn't be too bad.

However, all this is just Jiang Fuguang's speculation. The specific situation will depend on the information that Polyuto and Wei Si find out.

Jiang Fuguang ate something and saw that it was still early, so he took a nap to recharge his batteries. It was not until evening that Polyudo and Wei Si returned to the post house.

Polyudo looked a little solemn: "Your Excellency Sheng Lilong is seriously ill. In order to prevent the news from leaking out and causing panic, Your Excellency Sheng Lilong has not appeared in public for some days. All matters of Yuexi City are handled by Mrs. Lina's father and brother. ." Mrs. Lian Na is Sheng Lilong's step-wife. She comes from the Zhao family in Yueji. It is said that Zhao's ancestors are of Han descent. After Sanzhao took refuge in the Southern Dynasty, the status of the Zhao family in Yuejizhao, which is of Han descent, gradually increased. Became a great nobleman of Yue Jizhao.

Jiang Fuguang frowned and asked Harudo: "When was the last time the leaders of the three imperial edicts met?"

"About ten days ago," Polyudo replied without thinking, "At that time, several of your Excellencies met in Dali City. During the meeting, they discussed the time for martial law in Dali City, the preparations for the war against Piroye, and the collection of supplies. , meeting the eldest princess and many other matters.”

It's been such a long time since Sheng Lilong was seriously ill. As a leader of the alliance, it's impossible for Luo Yan not to receive any news.

Fuguang felt confident: "It seems that Mrs. Lian Na put His Excellency Sheng Lilong under house arrest because of her serious illness. Now the Yue analysis imperial edict was initiated by the Zhao family. The force colluding with Yun Zhongguo is probably the Zhao family."

The situation in Yue Jizhao was worse than she thought.

"The reason is very simple," she paused slightly before adding, "Zhao wanted to dismount La Sheng Lilong and ascend to the throne himself, but because he is of Han descent, not only all the forces in Binchuan and Sichuan would not surrender to him, but Even Meng Xiangshe, who has always been on the same side as Yue Xizhao, will not recognize him."

The barbarians have a strong racial concept and value bloodline. The Zhao family's identity destined them to be unable to become leaders on their own.

"Since he's looking at the pot and can't eat it, he might as well smash the pot and stew it himself. If he wants to become the leader, he can only cooperate with Yun China."

Piroye didn't care who would be in charge after Yue analyzed the imperial edict. What he valued was the hegemony of unifying the southwest and conquering the south.

For him, the Yueji imperial edict is said to have the most extensive territory and the strongest troops among the three imperial edicts. It is a difficult nut to crack. Due to the special terrain, after attacking Yueji, he will have to lose troops and generals, and send troops to garrison. This is half the result with half the effort, and the gain will not be worth the loss, which will affect his south. The time to rule the roost.

It would be better to follow Zhao's wishes and control Yuexi City through Zhao, and use Zhao to send some elite soldiers into Dali City to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared, capture Dali City at the minimum cost, and then pursue the victory while conquering Mongolia in one fell swoop. Xi and Mengshe, at the best time, sent their troops to Lingnan and went south to dominate.

To him, Zhao was just a dog beside him.

Mrs. Zhao didn't care about this. They were all dogs anyway. What difference did it make if she was a dog for Sheng Lilong or for Piroye?
Being a dog for Piroye is the best way to maximize your profits.

Before Jiang Fuguang set out for the southwest, he had already learned the details of the major forces in the southwest, and also had some understanding of the Yueji Zhao family, so he came to such an ending, which was not a random guess.

Polyudo sighed: "Your Excellency Sheng Lilong is under house arrest, and the Sheng Mansion is heavily guarded. It is probably impossible to have a secret meeting with Your Excellency Sheng Lilong while avoiding Zhao's eyes and ears."

Before departure, His Excellency Luo Yan gave him a list. If something really happened to Yue Jizhao, he would contact the people on the list.

The three imperial edicts are both prosperous and prosperous, and the three imperial edicts are harmed by each other. This is a secret chess game in which the three imperial edicts are connected with each other, and each other's needs are connected.

In order to prevent the internal struggles of the three imperial edicts from affecting each other's interests, it also protected their own interests.

But the situation in Yue Jizhao has developed to this point. Is it still meaningful for the eldest princess to secretly meet with His Excellency Sheng Lilong?
For the safety of the eldest princess, I am afraid this time it will be in vain.
