Chapter 218 General Liu takes action

In the middle of the night, a fire broke out at the inn where the envoys were resting. The weather was dry and the fire spread quickly!
In particular, the fire in the courtyard dedicated to Qin Shuhuang, which Liu Renren negotiated with the postmaster before, was the worst.

While fighting the fire, the guards discovered that a strange man in black had sneaked into the envoy team.

By the time the fire was finally put out, it was almost dawn!

Less than half of the entire inn was burned down.

After counting, the subordinate officials came with their guards to report, and Liu Renren received them with a tired face.

"How's it going?"

The official in charge of statistics said: "People quietly piled firewood and poured oil around the inn and several remote yards. Then a fire suddenly broke out and spread quickly. Five people in the envoy team were injured in fighting the fire. In response to the sudden appearance of black-clothed people, Three people were injured, and one man in black was captured alive but he committed suicide by taking poison. The yard you arranged for Her Royal Highness the Princess was burned beyond recognition and was the most severely damaged! In addition to the burned supplies, there were not many supplies brought by the team. of."

Liu Renren's eyes narrowed slightly. Yi Cheng, who was still sweating profusely just now, explained that he was set on fire and robbed by robbers. It seems that this is not the case!
It's just the regent's people who took action!

"Appease the injured. If they are unable to go on the road, leave them at the inn to recuperate. Once their injuries are healed, let them return to the capital on their own."

Liu Renren had just finished the arrangements when the Tisang envoy from Beidi came over to express his condolences with a sad face.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a courageous bandit in Dawu territory! He actually dared to burn down the official post! Lord Liu must instruct the local magistrate to punish him severely! I heard that the courtyard where His Highness lived was seriously affected. I wonder how His Highness is doing now? Can it be convenient for me? Want to see me and offer my condolences?”

Liu Renren glanced at Tisang, whose eyes were full of inquiry, "His Royal Highness is frightened and is resting. It is not convenient for questioning. Lord Tisang, please come back."

Tisang did not give up because of this, "I have a peace talisman here given by the high priest of Beidi. It can be used to calm the panic. It will definitely be very useful to Her Royal Highness. I want to personally present it to Her Royal Highness."

Liu Renren winked at the old servant Ah Hai beside him, and Ah Hai walked up to Tisang, bowed and stretched out his hands.

"Lord Tisang is interested, please give the talisman to Liu, who will personally deliver it to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The corner of Tisang's mouth twitched. Liu Renren couldn't make sense here, so he could only take out the talisman from the purse at his waist and hand it to Ah Hai.

A Hai accepted the talisman and retreated behind Liu Renren.

Tisang was rejected and left.

Not long after, Tisang met General Liu.

"General Liu, how are you? Is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess among the envoys?"

General Liu shook his head coldly.

He deliberately set fire to the inn, and then sent people to search the inn. The entire inn was searched through by his people, but Qin Shuhuang was not seen. Liu Renren said that there were only two faces living in the courtyard arranged for Qin Shuhuang to live. Born maid!
Liu Renren, this old fox!
Tisang was surprised, "Did the eldest princess follow another team? Is there any news about General Liu from the other team?"

"Not yet, there will be news tomorrow night at the latest."

General Liu's eyes were sinister. He was staring at the capital where Qin Shuhuang left to meet Liu Renren. Could it be that Qin Shuhuang could turn into a butterfly and fly away?
If it’s not here, it must be on the other side!
After saying that, General Liu turned around and left, as if he didn't want to say another word to Tisando.

Tisang frowned and stared at General Liu's figure, feeling conflicted and entangled in his heart. In fact, he didn't really want the powerful eldest princess to be assassinated by General Liu.

With this person here, maybe his master can plan more benefits for Beidi.

Liu Renren's side has been exposed, which Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren had expected before.

The envoy team did not stop because of this. After only half a day's delay, Liu Renren took the envoy team and set off for Beidi again.

In the vision of the regent and General Liu, as long as Qin Shuhuang is eliminated first, the envoy team led by Liu Renren will be allowed to be rounded and flattened by them, and then they will deal with the things they just sprinkled water on. There is no need to start from the beginning. Tangle, so as not to arouse the opposition of neutral ministers in the DPRK.Ruihe Shilan and the others spent the night in fear.

As soon as day broke, the team broke camp and left the camping place.

He Yutian said to Song Yiqiu: "Brother Song, those people didn't take action last night. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it today. We must be careful today."

Song Yiqiu nodded, "Then follow the method we discussed before!"

"it is good!"

An hour after the team set off in the morning, they reached a crossroads and Ruihe and his team split into two teams.

One team was led by Song Yiqiu, and in one of the carriages sat Ruihe, who was wearing Qin Shuhuang's clothes. The other team was led by He Yutian, and in the carriage was Shilan, who also changed into Qin Shuhuang's clothes.

The people who had been following him from a distance immediately split into two teams to pursue him.

When Qin Shuhuang's two teams reached remote places, they were ambushed separately.

More than half of the two teams were the personal guards of the eldest princess's palace, and they were led by Song Yiqiu and He Yutian respectively. Their abilities were no worse than those of the men in black who suddenly attacked.

Qin Shuhuang told Ruihe Shilan in the letter that if they encountered a strong opponent, in order to preserve their own manpower, the two of them no longer had to hide the fact that she was not in the team. The two days they had fought for her were enough.

A group of men in black attacked the carriage where "Qin Shuhuang" was.

Even though Song Yiqiu tried his best to stop him, the carriage was still cut open by the man in black.

At the critical moment, when Ruihe's life was in danger, the hood on his face was knocked off by the man in black, and the face revealed was not Qin Shuhuang's at all!
The leading man in black was stunned.

Qin Shuhuang is not in the team, so there is no need for them to fight hard!

The leading man in black gritted his teeth and made a retreat gesture to his men.

The half-beaten men in black immediately retreated, mounted their horses and left quickly.

The horses ran for half an hour to meet up with another wave of men in black.

The two leading men in black approached and said at the same time: "How?"

No need to answer, you can tell from the looks on both sides that both teams have failed.

The leader of the men in black had a face as dark as ink, "No, let the tiger leave the mountain! We will rush to report to General Liu now. We can only hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess is still among the envoys."

After the men in black retreated from the surprise attack, they did not become angry and fight as expected in Qin Shuhuang's letter.

After the confrontation with the men in black, no one in the two teams was injured. Only a few personal guards were slightly injured. They were not serious and were kept alive all the way.

Ruihe Song Yiqiu, Shilan He Yutian and others did not dare to stay where they were, so they packed up in a hurry and continued to move forward according to the plan.

They agreed to meet in Aucheng three days later and take another road to Beidi. Because they would not go with the envoy's large force, they would be faster than Liu Renren.

After arriving at the border first, they planned to remain anonymous and help His Highness secretly inquire about information and arrange accommodation and transportation.

After staying safely on the passenger ship for two consecutive nights, Qin Shuhuang and Xuan Cang finished the dry food they brought and had to leave the cabin and go to the deck to buy food from the boatman.

As soon as the two walked to the deck, they found that the channel in front of the Lingjiang River was blocked by two official ships!
