At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

In order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, Xia Yun sent someone to inform Tieshui City of the news in advance last night.

At this time, Tieshui City should be waiting for news from Xia Yun.

"You are right. Continue to send people to closely monitor the four city gates. We are ready to leave at any time."

Xia Yunshen nodded in agreement.

Needless to say, he had given up the idea of ​​evacuating from the secret passage.

It is simply impossible for him to give away fifty carts of goods and silver worth 13 million to others for free!

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, Tuoba Jinghui and the other two responded in unison.

Time passes minute by minute.

Everyone except Xia Yun was making final preparations.

Xia Yun was quietly waiting for the latest news from the four city gates.

There is no doubt that they must evacuate Lantuo City before early morning tonight.

But if the cost and loss can be minimized, Xia Yun will naturally not refuse.

When the time came to noon.

Xia Yun had just instructed Tuoba Jingcheng to prepare a sumptuous meal for the brothers.

The next moment, more than a dozen uninvited guests suddenly appeared outside the door of the Grassland Inn.

"Marshal, there is a group of men in black outside. There are about a dozen of them in total, and they all have weapons on them."

Tuoba Jinghui appeared in front of Xia Yun and reported immediately.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yun raised his eyebrows.

Who would suddenly come to the Prairie Inn at this time?

"Who is the leader?"

Xia Yun asked immediately afterwards.

"The leader seemed to be a woman, but she had a veil on her face, so I couldn't see her specific appearance."

Tuoba Jinghui responded truthfully.

The leading woman?

Wearing a black veil?!

The information given by Tuoba Jinghui instantly reminded Xia Yun of a figure.

But soon, Xia Yun shook his head, feeling that the figure he just remembered was too ridiculous.

That person should be staying in the capital now and it is impossible for him to appear in a place like Lantuo City.

"A friend has come from afar. Since he is here, let's meet him."

Xia Yun stood up happily and strode out of the inn.

The other party came to the Prairie Inn at such a sensitive time, but did not break in by force, which clearly showed that he came with other purposes.

Tuoba Jinghui, who was following Xia Yun, quickly informed everyone of the news just in case.

So, when Xia Yun walked out of the inn's door, more than a hundred figures filed out and positioned Xia Yun in the center.

However, just when the atmosphere reached a point of tension, Xia Yun's sight suddenly locked onto the leader of the group of men in black in front of him!

"It's you?!"

In an instant, Xia Yun's face revealed an expression of extreme surprise.

The leader was dressed in black, had waist-length hair, and a thin black veil on his face.

It turned out to be the woman from Prince Ruyang's Mansion who had appeared at the Fenglai Pavilion during the incident at Fenglai Pavilion in the capital!

On the day of the Fenglai Pavilion incident, Prince Cheng's Mansion sent a large number of troops to surround the entire Fenglai Pavilion.

Although the whole incident ended with Xia Yun's victory, Xia Yun was at the scene at that time. In addition to catching Tuoba Weiwei, he also met the woman from Ruyang Palace.

Just now when Tuoba Jinghui informed him that a man in black had appeared outside the inn, the other person's figure had already flashed in his mind.

But at that time, he never thought that the woman from Ruyang Palace would actually appear in this Lantuo City!

And at this moment, he took the initiative to find the Grassland Inn!

"Why, does the Marshal no longer recognize my daughter?"

The two sides were in a stalemate for about dozens of breaths. The veiled woman suddenly burst into laughter, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Xiao Mengmeng."

Xia Yun, who had recovered from his surprise, immediately called out the other person's name.

He heard the name Xiao Mengmeng from the other person himself.

Afterwards, he also asked Xu Wan'er to investigate the Ruyang Palace.

However, the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion was extremely low-key. Apart from finding out that Xiao Mengmeng was the princess of the Prince of Ruyang's Mansion, no other information was found.

At that time, Xia Yun didn't take it seriously, thinking that he and Xiao Mengmeng didn't have much in common.

They never thought that today, they would meet again in such an occasion.

"Lantuo City is in chaos right now. Wouldn't the Grand Marshal invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Xiao Mengmeng smiled and spoke again. Her laughter sounded like a silver bell, very clear and moving.

"Miss Xiao, what are you talking about? A guest is a guest. Please come in and have a chat."

Xia Yun smiled and stretched out his hand in an inviting gesture, with a very deep light flowing in his eyes.

He had already started to think about the real reason why Xiao Mengmeng suddenly came to the Grassland Inn!

Soon, at Xia Yun's enthusiastic invitation, Xiao Mengmeng and a dozen men in black all entered the Grassland Inn.

At the same time, more than one hundred people under Xia Yun also put aside their hostility.

Under Tuoba Jingcheng's arrangement, Xia Yun and Xiao Mengmeng finally appeared in a private room, while the other two groups were all waiting in the lobby of the inn.

"It is the time of the great war in the northern border, and the border is extremely dangerous. Why did the princess suddenly appear in Lantuo City?"

After the two sat down, Xia Yun behaved like a gentleman and took the initiative to make tea.

"Your Excellency is the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Court's Northern Expedition. Logically, you should be on the battlefield in the northeast right now. Why are you in Lantuo City?"

Xiao Mengmeng asked back with a smile.

Although there was a black veil on her face, her face, which was vaguely visible, was still a peerless beauty.

"Haha, there must be a reason why I appear in Lantuo City."

Xia Yun laughed.

Different from those beautiful women who are only pretty on the outside, Xiao Mengmeng in front of him is obviously not a simple character.

"The Grand Marshal is so majestic, but I think the Grand Marshal came to Lantuo City not just to kill hundreds of people in the Chengzhu Mansion."

As the saying goes, tit for tat, Xiao Mengmeng simply said one sentence and directly revealed the truth of the bloody case in Chengdu last night.

Xia Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

How did this little girl know about the bloody incident in the City Lord's Mansion?

Xia Yun was extremely surprised for a moment.

He asked himself that it was impossible for the people under his command to have any information leaking out.

Could it be that this little girl was also there last night?

"Grand Marshal, don't worry too much. It was the gunshots last night that betrayed your identities."

Xiao Mengmeng smiled.

Last night when fierce gunfire was heard in the City Lord's Mansion, she was leading people to watch from the outside.

Therefore, I have a vivid memory of the situation at that time.
