MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 71

An Ruochen jogged with Long Da for two laps on a war drum, and suddenly thought of it, and said: "General, why don't you take me to the city for a run, it's late at night, and there is no one on the street, so I can run away. Is this better than riding in circles on the school grounds?"

Long Da turned his head to look at her, An Ruochen quickly put on a flattering smile, and almost wagged his tail. Let's go, let's get out.

"Okay." Long Da led An Ruochen out of Ziyun Tower on horseback, and headed for the city. Let An Ruochen lead the way on the road, and An Ruochen took the main road and walked straight, and ran quite happily. The clacking of horseshoes, accompanied by the general's laughter, the moonlight was bright, and the lanterns on the roadside shone brightly, as if in a dream.

An Ruochen smiled, slowed down while riding, and turned to look at Long Da.

She slows down and defecates slowly, perfectly matching her speed.

"Are you happy?" Long Da asked her.

An Ruochen nodded.

"So the important thing is not the outing, right?" Long Dao, waiting for her to ask, "What is the important thing?" This time he will answer her...

"General, look, why is the bell gone?"

Long Da came back to his senses, and looked up, the bells at the four corners of the Dingsong Pavilion in the distance were indeed gone.

Long Da lightly frowned, clamped his horse's belly, and said to An Ruochen, "Go and have a look."

An Ruochen breathed a sigh of relief, it's so good, she struggled with how to tell the general that the bell was taken away for a day, because she couldn't explain how she knew it. Now that the general himself discovered it, it would be easy to handle.

When Long Da arrived at the Dingsong Pavilion, he turned around and found that there were people lurking in the corner. One of the arresters saw that it was Long Da, so he came out to salute and answer. After hearing the reason, Long Da asked them to keep watching, and he took An Ruochen to the eunuch's mansion.

The prefect Yao Kun was a little surprised to see Long Da's visit like this. Talking about the reasons with Long Da in detail, Long Da was also surprised. It was Li Mingyu?

"It was indeed I who ordered him to come to pick up the documents and files. But when he handed it over to me at night, he didn't mention the matter of your lord's invitation to meet me."

Yao Kun said: "The clerk under me can see clearly that it is indeed Li Mingyu. Mr. Li often comes to my yamen, and the clerk knows him."

Long Da pondered for a moment: "He is probably also vigilant. If he dares not to report the lord's order, he must take action soon, and it will be better if he thinks it will be delayed for a while."

"The general's people will be checked by the general."

Long Da nodded: "Don't startle the snake, I will send someone to secretly investigate his plan and purpose, sir, just keep watching Dingsongting."

The two discussed carefully and made a plan. Long Dashi led An Ruochen back to Ziyun Tower.

On the way, An Ruochen asked about the situation, and Long Da only said that there were already suspected internal rapes, and they needed to investigate. I didn't say much else. An Ruochen didn't ask any more questions. After returning to the Ziyun Tower, it seemed nothing had happened. After taking care of the war drum, he went back to his room to rest.

Long Da returned to his room as if nothing had happened, and after a while he found Xie Gang. Xie Gang sent his confidants to keep an eye on Li Mingyu to make sure that he had gone to bed in the house, so Xie Gang went to search Li Mingyu's study in person, and this search was like a bolt from the blue, so he rushed to report to Long Da.

"He drew a very detailed map of the defense arrangement of the East City Gate, as well as the list of soldiers and generals in each platoon. There are cans of lamp oil hidden under the cabinet. The terrain and terrain for several miles outside the city are clearly drawn. The surrounding situation of Guanliu Pavilion is clearly marked. Be careful. He drew the line on duty during the noon guard duty at the city gate. The papers were obviously flipped through many times, and there were still a lot of corrections, obviously after pondering for a while."

"So he plans to take action at the East City Gate?"

"The gates of the city are heavily guarded, so there will be no major disturbances," Xie Gang said.

"Perhaps a little trouble is enough for him."

"He wants to take advantage of the chaos to let someone go?" Xie Gang thinks this is the most likely possibility.

Long Da nodded. "The bell was taken down today, and the eunuch's order was concealed today...Maybe the matter will be fixed tomorrow?"

"It's not even tomorrow." Xie Gang said, "I'll immediately send someone to ambush at the east city gate."

"People have to be arranged at the four city gates, in case this is his cover-up, proceed quietly, don't make it public. Also, send two people to stare at him reliably, and tell him to go down, before he acts on the city gate, no matter what he sees Don’t expose whoever you do, we’ll catch the big ones.”

Xie Gang took the order and went down.

It was still dark on the second day, and in the alley not far from Ziyun Tower, two figures met. One person still turned his back to the alley, stomping his feet and stretching his limbs, like stretching in the ordinary morning.

"Why are you so adventurous?"

"It's the last time, I'm leaving today. Have you made arrangements here?"

"It's done. Long Teng asked Xie Gang for a long time last night, and Li Mingyu's study was checked. He is still sleeping soundly, everyone is staring at him, and no one is paying attention to me."

"Okay. I have explained everything. Someone else will come. He will look for you. He said his surname is Xie, and asked you if the bell will ring. You can answer two bells to ring enough."

"Got it. Where are you going?"

"I will go to Mao County to do some business first, and then return to Nanqin. I hope that one day, we can meet in Nanqin."

"Yes. The great cause will be accomplished in the end, and then we will drink three hundred cups."

A chuckle came from behind, and then died away. The people at the alley knew that Mr. Xie had left. This farewell, I really don't know when I will see you again.

"My surname is Xie."

"One bell is enough."

At that time, he knew who it was when he heard the voice. He was trained together, ate and lived together, parted ways for the great cause, lurked and endured hardships, and finally reunited here in the city. Who knew that in the end, because of a mere merchant's daughter, it turned into the current situation.

The man stood there for a while, then went back to Ziyun Tower.

In fact, Li Mingyu didn't sleep well all night, and when he opened his eyes, he still felt his heart beating fast. He quickly got up, washed and ate, pretending that everything was normal. Hearing that Long Da went to the barracks outside the city again early in the morning, he felt relieved. He arranged the trivial matters, explained that he was going out to do some errands, and went out.

He was suspicious and careful along the way, but no one was following him. When he arrived at the Dingsong Pavilion, there were several elders in the pavilion playing chess together. It was fine, so he pretended to watch chess for a while, and then sat down. While looking at the scenery as if nothing had happened, he groped for the edge of the chairs with his fingers. There was nothing in this row, and then he watched a game of chess and sat down in another row. This time he found it, he bent down to straighten the hem of his clothes and looked down, and saw a book-like shape wrapped in oiled paper stuck under the chair. Li Mingyu quickly tore off the package and stuffed it into his arms. After tidying up his clothes, he saw that he should look all right, so he got up and left.

One of the old men playing chess was pretending to be a policeman. When Li Mingyu approached him, he was extremely nervous. Fortunately, Li Mingyu didn't find anything. She wanted to keep an eye on Li Mingyu's movements, but was afraid that he would find out. But a glance out of the corner of his eye has already seen him take something from under the chair. Li Mingyu took his things and left. The policeman clenched his fist behind him and released it several times in a row, which was a signal to others.

The other two police officers immediately followed, following Li Mingyu.

They all received instructions. If Li Mingyu met someone, they would follow up separately. Whoever he met and what he did, don't arrest him. Just remember clearly the people he came into contact with.

After Li Mingyu walked out for a while, he realized something was wrong. He suspected that he was being followed.

He continued walking as if nothing had happened, but he was paying attention out of the corners of his eyes, becoming more and more certain that he was being followed. He remembered the words of that elaboration, An Ruochen's eyes and ears were terrible.

Li Mingyu's heart was pounding, and he was very nervous. The original plan was that he would go back to the Ziyun Building first, put down the half of the evidence, and take a closer look. If it was really useful, he would take the lamp oil to the east gate, set up a small fire at noon, and lead the officers and soldiers to put out the fire. Then he drove out of the city and went to Guanliuting to get the remaining half. If it is useless, he will not go to the east gate.

But now, he felt that he knew the evidence was true without looking at it, because someone wanted to stop him. An Ruochen's eyes and ears are really scary. He wasn't even sure if he could send this half of the evidence back to Ziyun Tower.

There was a corner ahead, and Li Mingyu suddenly ran wildly.

The person following him was taken aback for a moment, should he chase him or not? If you chase it, you will be exposed, if you don't chase it, you will lose it.

The two detectives looked at each other, chase!

Not only them, but also the other detectives lurking nearby and the spies arranged by Xie Gang also started running.

Li Mingyu ran with all his strength. He wanted to go back to Ziyun Tower, and he had to go back. Even if you can't take all of them, only half of them will do. The traitor must be exposed, and the general must be told how dangerous that witch is. It was a scourge, a scourge to General Long, and to them Great Xiao.

"Where!"

A voice shouted.

From the corner of Li Mingyu's eyes, he saw someone rushing towards him from the end of the alley. He gritted his teeth, panicked, turned a corner, and turned another corner. The cold wind was blowing on his face, and what he heard in his ears was his heartbeat like a drum. He stumbled over gravel, and he almost fell to the ground. His right leg scratched something lying on the side of the road, and it hurt so badly that he couldn't care less about it. He ran wildly, desperately forward.

Li Mingyu ran out of the alleyway, but saw two people looking around on the street, saw him, and rushed towards him. He quickly turned around and ran again, when he saw a horse tethered by the side of the road. Li Mingyu was overjoyed, quickly untied the reins, and jumped up.

The horse neighed and started to gallop. Li Mingyu heard someone yelling: "Quick, he's on the horse!" "Don't let him run away!" The yelling got farther and farther away, leaving them behind!

Li Mingyu couldn't help but smile, he can go back to Ziyun Tower, he can go back safely!

There was a carriage approaching in front of him, Li Mingyu took the reins in his unhurried manner, turned around and ran into another path. He knew this road, and it was close to Ziyun Tower from this way.

Ecstasy welled up in his heart, he felt a bit like a lone hero. At this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a figure descended from the sky, rushing towards him.

Li Mingyu subconsciously shouted!

There was only one scream, and then silence.

But someone heard it, and he yelled loudly, calling for everyone to chase in the direction of the scream. Three people arrived at the same time, rushed into the path, and were stunned.

Li Mingyu fell off his horse, his neck was falling on a big stone pier by the side of the road, his head was tilted at an unnatural angle, his eyes were turned white, his limbs were limp, and he remained motionless.

He broke his neck! died!

Mr. Xie once again stood outside the backyard door of Jingxin Nunnery. The lanterns at the jujube tree were placed under the tree, and the vegetable garden was still sparsely grown, and the raised stone slabs refused to be paved.

What a stubborn teacher.

Mr. Xie went towards the courtyard wall. He came from the front door. The front of the nunnery was closed tightly, and there was a notice posted that the nunnery master was away for alms. Mr. Xie jumped into the nunnery without hesitation. He knew that the meditator would not come back until noon.

The nunnery is quiet and there is no one. But Mr. Xie still took his steps lightly and walked around the backyard. When he saw the two strings of blessing lanterns hanging in the backyard, he narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while.

Turning his head, he saw the square grid drawn on the ground.

This time Mr. Xie snorted coldly in his heart. During the years he had been in contact with Mrs. Jingyuan, she never had fun, didn't celebrate the New Year, and didn't like festive things, let alone let Xiangke's children draw some messy things here in her backyard.

This nun is also unreliable. He already had doubts in his heart. She must have betrayed them. He wanted to find evidence, and when he returned to South Qin, he was not empty-handed.

Mr. Xie looked around, walked to the door of the wing room and pushed it lightly. The door was not latched, and it opened with a push. He stood at the door and looked around, but was very careful not to go in. He knew that Mrs. Jingyuan liked to set up traps. As far as the eye can see, the wing room is very simple, with a table and a bed, nothing worth exploring.

The man went all the way to the front yard again, and looked around carefully, even the bottom of the table under the seat of the Avalokitesvara statue, but found nothing unusual. So he went back to the backyard again. This time he saw the small side yard between the back yard and the front yard. He walked closer and saw that there was a chain hanging on the door. He pulled it, and the chain was locked.

Jing'er in the hut has nothing to do and is sleeping lightly. Every time the teacher goes out, she has to be locked in this yard. The teacher said it was for her safety, and she had a secret in her heart, so she naturally felt safe in this way.

At this time, she heard the chain of the courtyard gate being pulled several times by "bang bang bang bang" and woke up with a start.

Jinger suddenly sat up. This movement does not seem to be caused by the teacher.

There was a soft "dong", as if someone let go of his hand, and the chain knocked on the door. Jing'er quickly got up, pulled the cotton clothes on the quilt and put them on her body, and quickly got out of bed. The first reaction after getting out of bed was to drill under the bed. After entering, I found that the bottom of the bed was too high, and it was unobstructed. If someone opened the door, they would be able to see it at first sight.

She quickly climbed out again. Thinking that the door hadn't been latched yet, he hurried over and gently inserted the latch.

At this time, I heard two soft sounds of "dong" and "dong", as if someone jumped in over the wall.

There are thieves!

Jing'er covered her mouth, her heart was about to jump out of her throat in fright. She looked around, but there was no place to hide in this small hut.

There were slight footsteps outside the house, Jing'er couldn't hear them clearly, and she didn't dare to lean close to the door to listen, for fear of making some noise and attracting people's attention. She stood behind the door against the wall, not daring to move. At this time, it was too late to get under the bed again.

The people outside may be checking the yard, and after a while, they start to gently push the door of this room. Jing'er bit her lip to stop herself from screaming. Her heart was beating fast, pounding, and she was afraid that the loud heartbeat would disturb the people outside the house, but the more she was afraid, the faster her heart beat.
