In the next two days, Yunshang walked almost all over Yinzhou City, and she probably had a count in her heart.
Before that, she had always felt that Wu people could be seen everywhere, but after walking carefully, she found that there should be no more than a hundred Wu people in Yinzhou City, but most of them are concentrated in places where Ganoderma lucidum is frequently traded. These places happen to be the places where Yunshang goes in and out frequently on weekdays, so it seemed that there were Wu people everywhere before.
One or two hundred people.
This is not a small number for the Wu clan with a total of less than 10,000 people.
On the night of the third day, as soon as Yun Chang returned to the inn, she found a very familiar figure in the lobby of the inn.
When Yun Chang saw the man, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, still wondering if she was wrong, but the man had already raised his head and looked at each other, then laughed.
Yun Chang couldn't help but also smiled, and walked towards the table over there.
Sitting on the table over there is a woman in her twenties, her complexion and temperament are relatively outstanding, her lower abdomen is slightly protruding, she seems to be pregnant.
"Ning Qian? Why did you come here alone?"
Except for the slight changes in the facial features, the woman obviously looked like Ning Qian.
Hearing her question, Ning Qian's smile deepened: "I planned to take a trip to Yinzhou City, but on the way, I met the secret guard you sent to deliver the letter, and knew you were in Yinzhou City. I'll come over here to see you."
"Okay, it's just in time for you to come and be with me." Yun Shang was also very happy: "How long are you going to stay? Will you just stay in this inn?"
"Okay." Ning Qian nodded, and her eyes fell on Chengye beside Yunshang: "Too..."
Ning Qian wanted to call His Highness the Crown Prince, but as soon as the words came out, she realized that the place was wrong, so she had to turn a corner abruptly: "Bao'er is here too? Are you okay?"
Ning Qian has always been by Wang Jinhuan's side, and had helped Luo Qingyan cover up before, so naturally she knew about Chengye.
Yun Chang nodded: "No problem, he has been here for a few days."
"That's good, it's fine."
Yunshang laughed, looked down at Chengye, who had been staring at Ning Qian in a daze. Seeing his expression, Yunshang knew that he was guessing Ning Qian's identity, and the smile on his face deepened a bit: "This is your Aunt Ning Qian."
Chengye was still looking at Ning Qian: "But...it's different."
But soon, Chengye turned his head to look at Yunshang again, and suddenly understood: "Ah, I see..."
Ning Qian quickly gestured with her fingers: "Shh, this is our secret, okay?"
Chengye nodded quickly, with a mysterious expression on his face: "Well, it's a secret."
It was inconvenient for the two of them to talk in the lobby. After dinner, they asked the shopkeeper to open a room for Ning Qian. The room was next to the room where Yun Shang lived, and they went back to the room where Yun Shang lived.
"Why did you come to Yinzhou suddenly?" Yunshang asked as soon as she entered the door.
The smile on Ning Qian's face gradually faded: "Yinzhou is close to Wu'anzhou. Before that, Wang Jinhuan and I felt that because of geographical reasons, Xia Houjing might not attack Yinzhou. There are soldiers and horses mobilized, and there are traces of spies, so I decided to come and take this trip."
Yun Shang nodded: "Yes, before I also felt that Xia Houjing would not attack Yinzhou, and now I feel the same way, Xia Houjing will mobilize troops to Yinzhou, and there are spies here because of other The reason, I will tell you in detail later."
"Tell me first, what's the situation outside Wu'an City?"
Ning Qian shook her head: "Xia Houjing fought three battles with us, but these three battles have already come to an end. I think you have heard about it. I didn't go to the battlefield, so I don't know if there are more battles." It's gone. What I want to tell you is another story."
"Huh?" Yun Shang heard Ning Qian's tone, and knew that something extremely important must have happened: "What is it?"
"After arriving outside Wu'an City, Wang Jinhuan and I separated for a while, trying to sneak into Wu'an City."
Yun Chang was taken aback, and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "You? You sneaked into Wu'an City? Wu'an City is heavily guarded, how did you sneak in? Are you a bit too courageous?"
Ning Qian pursed her lips: "Actually, the security in Wu'an City is not as strict as you imagined, at least there are spies from all walks of life in Wu'an City from time to time, and it may not be easy to get in with many people. , but it is not difficult to mix in one or two people."
"Besides, I'm a woman and pregnant, so the target is not so obvious, so I sneaked in. The details are separate, what I want to say is that I met Xia Houjing in Wu'an City."
"You... met Xia Houjing?" Yun Shang became more and more surprised: "Will Xia Houjing walk around in Wu'an City at will?"
After a pause, he said again: "Yes, after all, it is his own territory. He should be very confident in the defense of Wu'an City, so he will be so wanton. But..."
Yun Shang remembered another very important thing: "But, Xia Houjing should recognize you? Xia Houjing and you have met many times before, and you are also dressed like this in Wu'an City? If so, then Didn't he recognize you?"
Ning Qian nodded, then shook her head: "That's indeed what I planned to do in Wu'an City, but... Xia Houjing didn't recognize me."
Yun Chang heard this and frowned.
Ning Qian seemed to be able to guess what Yun Shang was thinking, so she just said directly: "At that time, I was almost face to face with Xia Houjing, and even met Xia Houjing's eyes. At that time, I also felt that Xia Houjing There are seven or eight times out of ten I will recognize me, and I am still lamenting that my luck is really bad, but I never thought that Xia Houjing would look at me as if he was looking at a stranger... "
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes: "How could this be?"
"I once wondered whether it was the real Xia Houjing or someone else pretending to be it, but then I tried every means to verify it for a long time, and found that there was no trace of disguise on that person's face, but the whole face was a little stiff , Recalling what you said before, I subconsciously paid attention to the position of his neck and sideburns, only to find that there are scars on it."
Yun Chang bit her lips: "Then this should be the real Xia Houjing, but why doesn't he recognize you? Could it be just pretending? It shouldn't be... If he saw you in Wu'an City, he would know Wang Jinhuan is leading the troops outside Wu'an City, he can't let you go easily... "
Ning Qian nodded: "I'm inclined, that person is the real Xia Houjing, but he really doesn't recognize me."
"I just don't understand what happened in it." Ning Qian took a sip of tea: "After that happened, I thought about it for a long time, and I always felt that this matter might be very important. You wrote a letter to inform me, and then I hurried over when I heard that you were here... "
