Chapter 48 The Secret Passage
The city gate being closed meant that all her and Li Wen's original plans would be disrupted.

Li Wen also looked at Shen Jiangge worriedly, lowered his voice and said, "Jiang Ge, I have an ominous premonition..."

"Don't panic yet, we don't know whether the news is true or false yet. We will find out when we get closer to the city wall."

Although Shen Jiangge also felt that this matter was unusual, she still gave Li Wen a wink calmly, telling him to follow behind her carefully and not to make any more noise.

——She finally figured out that these warriors wearing white scarves seemed to be gathering somewhere.

——The opponent's number is not small. If you accidentally pry into the opponent's secret, I'm afraid there will be a big trouble.

In all things, be careful.

Li Wen understood this and quickly lowered the brim of his hat, deliberately avoiding these people wearing white scarves.

Fortunately, these people seemed to be in a hurry to do something, but no one bothered the humble Shen Jiangge and Li Wen.

Following the trail, Shen Jiangge and Li Wen quickly reached the city gate.

They pressed against the wall, hid in the dark, and looked toward the city gate.

Sure enough, as those people just said, not only were the city gates tightly closed, but there were also more than ten times the number of troops at the city gates and walls.

"How come this small town of Pingning suddenly has so many troops? Strange, I have never seen so many well-trained officers and soldiers in the town..."

Li Wen grew up here since he was a child, and Shen Jiangge naturally believed what he said.

Shen Jiangge frowned, thought for a moment and said slowly: "Could it be..."

"Could they be elite soldiers trained privately by Mo Jinzhan?"

Li Wen's eyes suddenly sank and he whispered.

"Well, you and I want to go together."

Shen Jiangge nodded silently, lowered his voice and said, "If this is really the case, then you and I are in danger. It is very likely that these officers and soldiers are coming for us."

"Is it because I am a descendant of the Li family and you possess unparalleled military skills?"

Li Wen smiled gently at Shen Jiangge, but what he said made Shen Jiangge freeze in place.

"how do you know……"

Shen Jiangge was shocked, but his face remained calm.

——She didn’t expect that this kid actually knew this.

"Actually, when I woke up that day, my aunt suddenly disappeared, and the booklet I had always carried with me in my bag also disappeared. I started to feel that there was something fishy about this matter."

"Later, you offered to take me away from here. I could feel that you said this out of protection. From then on, I began to guess that the booklet might not be simple. Maybe... that is what the world is thinking about. Military Scripture."

"Later, I learned from Miss Yun'er that Mo Jinzhan's true intention of returning to Pingning Town, plus the fact that you fought so hard for me in the Li Mansion that night, my suspicions were confirmed."

Li Wen still smiled gently and said lightly.

"I didn't expect that you usually look dull and silly, but secretly you have so many tricks up your sleeve..."

Shen Jiangge smiled, punched him in the chest, and said with relief: "Well, since you know everything, then this Military Scripture should be returned to its original owner."

After that, she took out the military book from her arms.

But in the next second, Li Wen smiled and shook his head to stop her and said: "No, since my aunt decided to leave it to you, she must have her reasons. I believe that she will never misjudge the person during her military life."

"Besides, in the current situation where we are surrounded by enemies, it is safer for you to carry it than for me to carry it."

Shen Jiangge then narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the once stupid Li Wen in front of him, and was secretly surprised.

After a while, she said with a smile: "I thought you were stupid because of reading books about sages, but I didn't expect that you were very smart at critical moments." - "Tell me, how many things are you hiding from me? Um--?"

Shen Jiangge deliberately approached Li Wen and asked seriously and half-jokingly.

"No, no. It's a trivial skill, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning, hehehe..."

Li Wen stepped back and waved his hands, looking like he couldn't resist.

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it. It seems that I have to be more careful with you in the future, lest I don't even know if you sell me out one day."

Shen Jiangge smiled and stepped back, letting Li Wen go.

"No! I, Li Wen, am not the kind of person who betrays my friends!!!"

Li Wen raised his head with his neck raised, showing a stubborn look that said, "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated."

"Okay, okay, I'm teasing you."

Shen Jiangge was afraid that his voice would be too loud and attract the officers and soldiers, so he quickly said: "If that's the case, then leave the Military Book with me for the time being and return it to you when we get out of Pingning Town."

"This won't work! I..."

Li Wen raised his head and anxiously wanted to refuse, but heard Shen Jiangge lower his voice and say -

"Don't argue with me about this yet. This place is a place of right and wrong. In my opinion, it's better to leave first. As for how to leave the city, we can only see if there is a suitable time."

After hearing this, Li Wen nodded desperately, then pointed to the back of the blacksmith shop and whispered: "Just now I saw people coming in and out of the blacksmith shop. There must be a path to go."

"Good for you."

Shen Jiangge once again looked at this nerd with admiration. She happily punched Li Wen on the chest, causing the "delicate" Li Wen to grin.

Shen Jiangge waited for his "pain" to end, gave him a helpless wink, and led Li Wen quickly towards the back of the blacksmith shop along the wall.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were only patrolling back and forth, questioning the people who were about to pass through the city gate, and no one noticed the two people in the corner, which allowed the two to move their positions smoothly.

When passing by the blacksmith shop, Shen Jiangge took a special look at the once hot and sparkling blacksmith shop.

But I saw that everything in the shop was still there, even the fire had not been extinguished, and wisps of dark red sparks were still burning. Suddenly, there would be a "crack--" and countless sparks would splash out.

But the strange thing is that both the old man and the young man have disappeared.

"Jiangge, what are you looking at? Let's go!"

Shen Jiangge froze on the spot for a while before being awakened by Li Wen's urging.

"coming."

Shen Jiangge responded hurriedly, looking back at the blacksmith shop, and suddenly felt an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.

She didn't have time to think about it before she was dragged by Li Wen into a narrow passage that could only fit two people in a row.

In the midst of the chaos, she didn't notice that the figure of a man in white clothes faded out from where they had just been.

The man stood holding the piano, his veil moving with the wind, and his bottomless eyes filled with endless complex emotions.

He watched Shen Jiangge walking further and further without making a sound. After a long time, he took off the wine bag from his waist and took a swig.

In the wind, he whispered: "It's time to end."

A gust of wind blew by, and his clothes moved rapidly like a shadow. For just a moment, it seemed as if he had never been here before.
