Escape after crossing

"I'm fine, you go to sleep, I'm going to go out for some exercise and I'll be back soon, you don't have to follow me, it won't be dangerous. Go!"

"Master, I'm fine. I'll accompany you. Mingyue has not forgotten why she and Mingxi followed Jiang Ziluo.

"Don't you listen to what I say? Go back to sleep." Jiang Ziluo's face turned cold and he pretended to be angry.

Mingyue thought Jiang Ziluo was really angry, so she didn't dare to say anything more and went back to her room. When Jiang Ziluo saw Mingyue went back to her room, he went downstairs and left.

Jiang Ziluo went outside the city. They entered the city from the south gate yesterday, and Jiang Ziluo left the city from the west gate. The gates of Qingyang City opened at dawn.

In summer, the sun rises early, so the city gates open early. In winter, the sun rises late, so the city gates open late. Even on rainy or snowy days, it is the same; the city gates open at the same time as the sun rises.

Didn't the city gates in ancient times usually have fixed hours for opening and closing? This was the first time Jiang Ziluo had heard of such a rule, and it was very novel.

After Jiang Ziluo left the city, he looked around and found a small hill to the west. The hill was not very high and not far away, so Jiang Ziluo decided to go there.

If there was no one around, he would practice a set of military boxing and then go back. Jiang Ziluo ran around the mountain, and after making sure there was no one around, he found a flat place and practiced a set of military boxing.

He sweated a lot and felt very comfortable. When he got down the mountain, the sun was already high and the temperature had risen. Jiang Ziluo returned to the restaurant, asked for hot water, took a shower and changed his clothes.

After breakfast, Jiang Ziluo, Mingyue and Mingxi bought some daily necessities at the market. Afterwards, they came to a teahouse and listened to the gossips of the people in the underworld, hoping to get some clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.

Just as he was listening attentively, the conversation at the next table caught Jiang Ziluo's attention. "Have you heard? A few days ago, the Wu family's merchant ship came back from the south and encountered a large ship on the way."

"What's the big ship like on the water? It happens all the time."

"Yes, if you want to say something, just say it quickly to keep people on suspense."

"Haha, you guys are so anxious. Now, it's not unusual to encounter a large ship. I heard from a fellow on the Wu family merchant ship that he heard several people talking together, but they were in a language he couldn't understand and he had never heard of before."

Jiang Ziluo's heart moved, and he motioned Mingyue and Mingxi to move closer to the table. They pretended to be ordinary guests and continued to listen to the conversation of those people.

"This is not surprising. Many people from the north come here to do business."

"No, he is not from the north. He heard the two words, remembered them in his heart, and then told their master. The master asked him how he knew these two words.

The man saw that the host looked unhappy, so he told him what he had seen and heard. The host only told him to tell him when he saw those people again.

He was not allowed to speak out, and the host did not tell him what the two words were. When they stopped at the Qinghe County dock, he saw those people getting off the boat again.

He immediately told his master, and he never saw those people on the boat again. His master also specifically told him not to tell anyone about this matter.

"Then who told you that? Didn't he say that himself?"

"He must have said it himself. Otherwise, who would know about this? Could it be that his master said it?"

"Hey, this guy likes to drink. After he comes back from sailing and earns money, he likes to drink. After drinking, he loses control of his mouth and says everything."

"You know this guy? How else would you know? Did he invite you for a drink?"

"That's not very decent of you. You have wine but you don't invite us to join you?"

"That's right, you know someone like this, why don't you bring us along?"

……

Jiang Ziluo did not listen to the next words, but was thinking about whether those people who got off the boat were related to the assassination of Leng Chenming and others?

Because the time they disembarked was too coincidental, and they spoke a language I couldn't understand? Foreigners? From the south, Mosan people?

It seems that I have to send a message to Xuanyi and the others, asking them to pay attention to the people from Mosang Country, and also tell them to be careful so as not to alert the enemy.

Jiang Zi whispered a few words to Mingyue, and then asked Mingyue to pass the message to Xuanyi and the others. She and Mingxi continued to drink tea in the teahouse, wanting to see if they could hear some different news.

Jiang Ziluo sipped tea while paying attention to the conversations of people around him.

At this time, two people at the next table caught her attention.

"You know what? I heard that there is a rare treasure in the Wu family's cargo this time!"

"What treasure? Tell me about it!"

"It looks like a precious sword. It is said to be extremely sharp and priceless!"

……

Jiang Ziluo continued to listen, but did not get any more useful information.

Jiang Ziluo decided to go back to the inn first and make plans after Mingyue brought back news about Xuanyi.

After Jiang Ziluo returned to the inn, he waited anxiously for Mingyue's return. After a while, he finally saw Mingyue hurried back.

"How is it? Have you told Xuanyi?" Jiang Ziluo immediately went up to him and asked.

Mingyue nodded, "Yes, Xuanyi said he would pay more attention to the people of Mosang."

Jiang Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope we can find something... By the way, Mingyue, send some people to find out the whereabouts of the sword. I always feel that this sword may hide some key information."

"Yes, sir." Mingyue took the order and left.

Jiang Ziluo sat down thoughtfully, playing with the teacup in her hands. She felt as if she was getting closer and closer to the truth, but there were still many mysteries waiting for her to solve...

After thinking for a while, Jiang Ziluo decided to go to the Wu family's merchant ship to investigate. She changed into light clothes and sneaked into the dock with Mingxi.

On the merchant ship, Jiang Ziluo and Mingxi carefully searched for clues. She found some strange traces in the cabin, as if someone had fought here.

Jiang Ziluo followed the traces and finally found a sword in a corner. The sword exuded a mysterious light, and a gem was inlaid on the hilt. It looked like a rare treasure.

Jiang Ziluo carefully picked up the sword and observed it carefully. She always felt that this sword had a special meaning. Just as Jiang Ziluo was thinking, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.

She quickly put away her sword and hid in the dark to observe. She saw a group of men in black walking into the cabin, searching for something.

Jiang Ziluo's heart tightened. Could these people be the masterminds behind the scene? She waited quietly, ready to act when the opportunity arose. Jiang Ziluo watched the group of men in black. After searching in vain, they began to talk to each other.

"Brother, where is what we are looking for? We have searched everywhere but can't find it." said one of them.

"Search carefully again. We must not let it fall into the hands of others." The leading man in black said sternly.

Jiang Ziluo thought to himself, they were also looking for this sword. It seemed that this sword was indeed hiding a great secret.

At this moment, a man in black accidentally looked in the direction where Jiang Ziluo was hiding. Jiang Ziluo was startled, wondering if he had been discovered. Jiang Ziluo held his breath and stared at the man in black nervously.

However, the men in black just glanced casually and did not notice her. Jiang Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief and decided to stay put for the time being and continue to observe the actions of these men in black.
