After arranging the funeral of the dead girl, when we came out of Dog Lane, the street was already bustling with people.

Qin Yue was worried so she kept Huan'er outside to watch over her.

Seeing Song Zhi come out well, Huan'er immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, are you okay?"

The concern in her eyes was evident, and from the haggard look on her face it was clear that she had been worried all night.

Song Zhi said: "I'm fine, of course I'm fine."

Huan'er blushed and lowered her head, "I'm glad you're okay."

"By the way, where is Tuoba Yu?"

Qin Yue said: "I used some aphrodisiac and fell asleep."

"what?"

Song Zhi opened his mouth wide, "You actually used aphrodisiac on her."

Qin Yue was helpless. "That girl was so energetic, jumping up and down and insisting on looking for you, saying that you must have secretly used her method to save the Third Prince. She absolutely couldn't let you take all the credit and hard work. I had no choice but to apply some aphrodisiac to her to calm her down."

Song Zhi had a headache. What was going on in this girl's head?

She followed Qin Yue back to her guest's place. Just as she reached the door, she ran into Tuoba Yu who was rushing out with a whip in his hand and cursing.

Seeing her, Tuoba Yu was immediately furious, "Where is Nan Qi?"

Song Zhi said unhappily, "In the prison."

"Heavenly Prison?"

Tuoba Yu was a little dumbfounded. "No way, you failed in the prison break? That's impossible. How could my flawless plan fail?"

Her tone changed from doubt to certainty. "You must have hidden Nan Qi, right? You claimed all the credit and hard work, told Nan Qi that you were his savior, and then asked him to marry you."

Song Zhi was simply impressed by the girl's train of thought. "You think too much. The prison is heavily guarded. I'm going to break into the prison if I'm crazy."

"Then why did you leave me alone and go out secretly yesterday?"

"I don't think I need to explain my whereabouts to Princess Tuoba."

"you!"

Tuoba Yu gritted his teeth and sat on the threshold, "If you don't tell me, I'll sit here and not let you do business."

"what ever."

Song Zhi pushed her aside without caring and stepped in.

Qin Yue and the others hurriedly walked in through the passage. Tuoba Yu stood up in shame and anger, "Who do you think I am? How dare you treat me like this!"

Seeing no one paying attention to her, she stomped her feet vigorously and said, "Okay, you guys are brave!"

With frustrated eyes and reddened, Tuoba Yu turned and left, and soon disappeared into the busy street.

Qin Yue looked towards the door and said, "Now that she's gone, nothing will go wrong."

Song Zhi held the teacup in his hand without looking up. "After all, the envoys she brought with her are not freeloaders. Don't worry, she has someone following her."

Qin Yue finally felt relieved and whispered in her ear, "According to what the sisters have been hearing these days, many outsiders with travel permits have recently arrived in the capital, and a large amount of drinking water and dry food have been sent out of the city. Do you think..."

"Keep investigating and find out where these are being provided."

"okay, I get it."

Qin Yue quickly went to inform everyone.

Song Zhi's eyes tightened, and she thought to herself that the wise king must not let her down this time.

The storm was brewing, and two days later, the capital city suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere.

The relaxed feeling of people strolling leisurely in the past disappeared at some point, replaced by passers-by in a hurry.

An autumn rain came with a crackling sound. Song Zhi stood under the eaves, watching the raindrops falling from the eaves in strings.

"Miss, the rain is too heavy. Why don't you wait a while before going out?"

"Xiao Tao, tell me, when is the best time for a large number of soldiers to sneak into the city without anyone noticing?"

Xiao Tao scratched her head and said, "I don't know."

Song Zhi reached out to catch the transparent raindrops, and said softly, "Of course, this is the time when people are least likely to suspect me."

It was a bright day and the rain was pouring down like a waterfall.

The people all returned to their homes with their doors and windows closed, and the streets were empty.

But because it was daytime, it would not be surprising to hear footsteps on the street. It was much safer than waking everyone up at night.

"Zhang's dim sum is pretty good. I suddenly feel like eating some right now. I'll be back soon. You can just wait for me at home."

After saying that, he opened the paper umbrella with his bony fingers and walked into the rain without hesitation.

Xiaotao wanted to follow, but the rain was too heavy.

She turned around, took another umbrella and opened it, then chased in the direction of Song Zhi.

On the long street in the pouring rain, Song Zhi was the only one walking forward slowly.

Because of the wind, no shop on the street was open at this time.

She walked slowly and steadily, and finally, the sound of horses' hooves in uniform steps came from not far away.

She quickly dodged and hid behind a corner, and when she looked over, she saw a group of people wearing straw raincoats and straw hats walking towards her.

The soldiers guarding the city were indeed the wise king's men, so this team was able to enter the city so openly without alerting others.

In the sight mixed with rain, the team looked like a long dragon about to wake up.

Song Zhi noticed the direction these people were heading.

It’s Gouer Lane.

It turns out that the virtuous king took control of the place in order to station troops and then deal a fatal blow to the imperial city.

She changed her route and quietly headed towards Gouer Lane. At the entrance of a spacious alley, she met the high-spirited and virtuous King and... uh, the indomitable Wang Lanzhi.

The two men were followed by five or six servants, all looking eagerly ahead, when they saw the team approaching from afar.

He was so excited as if he had already taken the throne.

Song Zhi did not stay there for long. After a little thought, he decided to enter the palace.

As a result, as he turned around, he suddenly collided with someone coming from behind.

"Hey, it hurts."

Xiao Tao's crying voice came, "Miss, aren't you going to Zhang Ji? Why did you stop here? Zhang Ji is still ahead."

Song Zhi managed to steady himself and rubbed his sore nose, then he saw Xiao Tao chattering non-stop.

She was so scared that she quickly covered Xiaotao's mouth. Fortunately, the sound of rain covered it up and no one noticed the noise.

She quickly pulled everyone away from this troubled place. After they were far away, Song Zhi took a breath and asked, "Didn't you notice a group of suspicious people on the main street when you came here?"

Xiao Tao shook her head in confusion, "No, it was raining so hard that I was in a hurry to find you, so I didn't have time to look around."

Song Zhi was shocked. "Then why did you choose the small road instead of the main road?"

Xiao Tao knew the answer to this question. She said proudly, "Miss, you are so stupid. The small road is closer than the main road. You left before me. If I want to catch up with you, it must be the easiest way to take the small road."

Song Zhi was speechless.

In this world, some people live by their strength, some live by their hard work, but Xiaotao is different.

Xiaotao relies on luck.
