"This way." Li Wu hurriedly passed by Su Qinchao.

He then turned into a dark alley in front and disappeared in a few flashes.

Fortunately, Su Qinchao had learned a little tracking in the army and had strong martial arts skills, otherwise he might not have been able to keep up.

"There's a traitor among the secret agents." Before Su Qinchao could stand still, Li Wu directly threw a message at him.

"Who?" Su Qinchao asked in surprise.

During the previous Qiankun sacrificial ceremony, Princess Yucheng had reviewed the secret spy camp.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any more problems.

Moreover, spies are trained since childhood, and most of them are passed down from generation to generation. How could something go wrong again?

"I don't know. I haven't found out yet. I only know that it's from the north of the city." Li Wu frowned and told Su Qinchao the information she had found.

She spent the whole night searching last night before narrowing down the area to the north of the city.

We are checking one by one, and the private gun factory will be its turn soon.

The private gun factory exploded at noon today. It couldn't be more coincidental.

It is very strange that the private gun factory has been operating for so many years without leaking any information.

What's more, in Chang'an, where there are spies everywhere, it is absolutely impossible for no one to cover up for them.

But it was such a coincidence that the news was so well-informed.

This not only made her suspect that there was a traitor among the secret agents, but she also became concerned about her own personal soldiers who had followed her for many years.

After all, she made these decisions on the spur of the moment, and apart from Princess Yucheng, only her own soldiers knew about it.

In addition, according to the evidence she obtained yesterday, the owner behind the private gun factory is not a simple person.

However, it is still unknown whether he is from Princess Minghua's side. It is just her guess at the moment.

Things in Chang'an are complicated to begin with, and the profits from private gun factories are staggering, so it's really hard to say for the time being.

"Do you mean that the nobles in the palace might also be involved?" Su Qinchao understood her implication.

"It's hard to say." Li Wu's eyes flashed. There were some things she could say, but some things she could only rely on Su Qinchao to understand.

"I see." Su Qinchao did not ask any more questions, but changed the subject: "You came to me this time just to talk about this?"

He went to find Li Wu to ask her if she had heard any other inside information while she was here, and whether she had sent people to evacuate the people.

And why did Li Wu look for him?

In order not to expose her whereabouts, Li Wu would not come to see her unless it was necessary.

"Oh, the princess asked me to give this to you." Li Wu took out a roll of fine sheepskin from her arms:

"The situation has changed. Starting tomorrow night, you have to work with me. Here's what we need to do in the near future."

"Okay." Su Qinchao took it and put it close to him. Perhaps the princess felt a little worried about the spy, so she wanted to bring him in as well.

"Also, since the past two days, I have been surrounded and blocked by assassins whenever I do something. Sometimes there are more than one group, and the people behind them are also different." Li Wu lowered her voice.

"One of them in particular was related to the Tangut gang of black-clad men."

"Didn't Prince Changning die?" It was said that Prince Changning died of typhoid fever not long after he was sent to the imperial mausoleum.

At that time, the princess specially ordered someone to bring Li Yun to confirm it, and even the body was burned to ashes and poured into the moat.

How come he appears again now? Unless Prince Changning used illness as an excuse to escape.

"You're right. During this period, someone did see a person who looked very similar to Prince Changning in the Taoist temple in Xishan." Li Wu was about to reveal who helped Prince Changning escape death.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he pulled Su Qinchao to the side immediately.

The next moment, two silver lights shot out, stuck to the corners of their clothes, and pierced the place where they were originally standing.

Looking at the pattern, it is both strange and familiar, not something from our tribe, and should be related to the Dangxiang.

Then a dangerous aura, accompanied by an inaudible sound of clothes rubbing against each other, slowly approached from a distance.

It was as if there were many people sneaking around in the dark alley silently.

"Oh no, my human skin mask has been seen through." Li Wu frowned.

Then he hurriedly made a gesture to Su Qinchao and dodged in the direction where the hidden weapon came from.

"Tsk." Su Qinchao pinched the handkerchief, took out two hidden weapons emitting unknown light, and put them neatly into his pocket.

When Li Wu left just now, she was clearly talking about Princess Minghua. It seems that Prince Changning had been colluding with Princess Minghua from the very beginning.

He always thought that someone as capable as Princess Yucheng would be able to control everything.

Unexpectedly, there are so many surprises hidden in the dark.

The water in Chang'an is becoming more and more muddy, and dangers are lurking everywhere.

When Su Qinchao thought of this, he remembered the assignment he had just received, and immediately a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come spread in his heart.

It’s different from the previous feeling of just waiting in vain.

It made him feel both dangerous and exciting.

It was as if the matter that had been worrying him had finally come to fruition.

...

After that, Su Qinchao naturally returned to the private gun factory to help with the work.

No matter what will happen to him tomorrow, he can do whatever he can for the present.

Right now, the scene still needs a lot of people to clean up the rubble, eliminate the remaining dangers, and rescue the barely usable wood, bricks and stones...

Then they had to build temporary shelters for the people who lost their homes, as well as provide them with basic food, drink, defecation and urination...

As for post-disaster reconstruction, we have to wait until the government recruits civilians and craftsmen of all kinds to arrive.

Su Qinchao worked with everyone until the end of the shift, and most of the work was done, so he hurriedly left with his people.

Currently, the Jingzhao Prefecture is in charge of investigating cases, and the people are protected by the yamen runners of the two prefectures and the Jinwu Guards who patrol at night.

Since they are not needed for the time being, it is time for them to mind their own business.

The soldiers he brought with him today were originally those who had abandoned their current duties and were temporarily borrowed from various departments.

...

"I heard that there was an explosion in the North City Market. Are there any casualties?" Yunniang asked worriedly as she took off Su Qinchao's soot-covered robe.

She was startled when her husband walked in just now. His originally shiny silver-white soft armor was so dirty that she couldn't even see its original color.

His face and neck were also gray.

Therefore, she hurried back to the room without even having time to prepare dinner.

In fact, when the explosion occurred in the north of the city, they also vaguely felt it.

I just don't know how big it is, and no news has been sent back for a while.

"These are not urgent, but..." Su Qinchao lowered his head and leaned on Yunniang's neck.

He whispered that he would also have errands to do in the evening starting from tomorrow, so that she would have some peace of mind for the time being.

"What about tonight?" Yunniang wanted to ask him if he would keep her here tonight.

After all, last night Su Qinchao was still acting like a spoiled child and insisted on going to Xingxian's room tomorrow night...

Now I don’t have time tomorrow night, and I don’t know when I will be busy in the future.
