"It's you." Although Li Mi didn't know Jiang Heng's name, he only heard about the past from his father, but his intuition told him that this young man was not a simple person.
Jiang Heng stopped talking and made a "please" gesture. In fact, before coming, he also discussed with Geng Shu, what if Li Mi is afraid of Li Hong's authority and insists on not leaving? Take him out after being knocked unconscious, and then stand him up to rebel? This is obviously not feasible, but Jiang Heng is sure to persuade him.
Geng Shu said outside: "Time is running out."
Jiang Heng looked at Li Mi and said, "This is our only chance, Prince Mi, even if you regret it after tonight, your father will definitely strengthen the guard of the Li Palace, and we will never be able to enter again."
Li Mi let out a long sigh and was silent for a few breaths, and finally he nodded. Jiang Heng said in his heart, in this regard, he is very much like Li Hong who speaks volumes.
"Take me away." Li Mi said, "Let's go out and talk about the rest."
Geng Shu immediately pushed open the door and came in, holding the guard uniform in his hand, and threw it to Li Mi, motioning him to change it.
"They are going to enter the side courtyard soon," Geng Shu said, "you two stay inside."
Haidongqing's exploration distance is getting closer and closer, and someone has discovered it and began to surround other courtyards.
"Quick." Jiang Heng said.
Li Mi put on the guard uniform, Geng Shu took out his sword, Li Mi understood at a glance.
"Shuang'er asked you to come?" Li Mi said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Your Highness has a heart, it's the same for anyone who comes." Jiang Heng said, "If Your Highness insists on not leaving, it will be useless for anyone who comes, right?"
Li Mi sneered and said, "Give me a sword."
"No," Geng Shu replied, "only this one."
In an instant, the guard roared, holding a strong crossbow against the courtyard wall, shouting, "There are assassins!"
Jiang Heng immediately dragged Li Mi, blocked him in front of the two, and said, "Come on, let go of the arrow! Shoot your prince to death, go back and take the blame!"
Li Mi: "…"
Guard: "..."
The guards never imagined that this man was actually using the prince to block the arrow, and they were immediately startled. And just at this moment, Geng Shu had rushed out, stepped up to the wall, shook off the fierce light sword, the cold light flickered, Ji Shuang was right, the sword was indeed an extraordinary weapon, reflecting the moonlight, really cutting iron Like mud, if it comes across any weapon, it will be cut in half!
Seeing the guards wailing and falling off the wall, blood dripping from the top of the wall, Jiang Heng said decisively: "Come on!"
Jiang Heng picked up the sword, threw one to Li Mi, and pushed him around the screen. Geng Shu jumped off the wall and walked quickly to the front to investigate, but the sound outside became quieter.
"There are assassins!"
There was another scream in the distance.
Li Mi: "Where are your companions?"
Jiang Heng: "…"
Jiang Heng and Geng Shu looked at each other, and Geng Shu said, "There is no one else, just the two of us. Is there anyone else here? Who?"
Jiang Heng made a decisive decision: "They are leading the guards away for us, let's go!"
Jiang Heng chose another path, and when he rushed through the corridor, he saw that the garden was full of guards lying down.
Jiang Heng: "!!!"
Li Mi stopped and nearly tripped to the ground.
Li Mi said, "How many people did you kill to save me?!"
"I didn't kill people," Jiang Heng said. "It can't be counted on my head."
Geng Shu raised his head and looked at the northeast corner, Costin turned into a straight line and flew away. Geng Shu said: "There are few people there, break through from the northeast!"
Geng Shu turned on the roof, kicked the guard who was about to ambush with a crossbow | arrow, and then pulled Jiang Heng up. Jiang Heng was about to stretch out his hand to pull Li Mi, but Li Mi turned to the room a few times.
"I can," Li Mi gasped, "don't worry about me! Dangdang... Be careful, look ahead!"
"Here!" someone shouted.
More people went into the room, Geng Shu took a deep breath, retracted his sword and pulled out his palm, leaned on one side, and stepped on the roof, the tiles flew up, and then the palm wind swept away, and the broken tiles flew away like shooting stars in the sky!
This hand is simply amazing, even Luo Xuan has no such ability, Jiang Heng was stunned.
Geng Shu said, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"
Jiang Heng came back to his senses and was dragged behind by him. The two of them slid down the eaves together. They didn't forget to turn their heads and said, "Where's the prince?"

"He himself said to leave him alone," Geng Shu said, "look at his good fortune."
Li Mi was out of breath and said, "Wait for me!"
However, along the way, the guards on the flat ground were cleaned up a lot, and most of them were lying on the ground. Not long after, Jiang Heng heard the southwest corner shout again: "The assassin is here!"
The torches spread in the southwest and southeast directions. Geng Shu said, "There are still two groups of people, what's the matter? There are so many people here tonight?"
The rescuers didn't seem to care about them. They set fire to the southeast corner. When the wind blew, thick smoke rose, and there was chaos in the Li Palace. Instead, they left the Li Palace very quickly.
Geng Shu stretched out his arms and fell down the palace wall like an eagle. He whistled, and the warhorse galloped. Geng Shu and Jiang Heng rode together, and Li Mi rode on the other.
"Follow us." Geng Shu said.
Li Mi looked back at Li Gong, and finally flicked the reins ruthlessly and followed the two of them.
Hai Dongqing followed from afar in the sky, and fish belly white appeared in the east. Geng Shu turned his head and asked Jiang Heng behind him, "Are you going back to the city now?"
"It's too noisy," Jiang Heng said, "try it."
This rescue has been deviated from Jiang Heng's original plan. Originally, he just wanted to transport Li Mi out of nowhere. In this way, Li Gong won't find out until dawn, and they can also take the opportunity to return to Xichuan. But when there was a commotion in the middle of the night, Xichuan would definitely go to martial law immediately.
After galloping 80 miles, they returned to the outside of Xichuan City. The sky was already bright. The three of them were stationed at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain outside the Macheng City, on a hidden hillside. The gate of the city began to be strictly checked.
Geng Shu asked Jiang Heng, "What should I do now?"
Li Mi also saw it and asked, "Who has the final say? Are you two masters and servants?"
"Shut up." Geng Shu replied coldly and casually.
Since entering the Li Palace, Geng Shu has not formally spoken to Li Mi, and Li Mi still doesn't know that this guy is his future brother-in-law.
Jiang Heng still didn't give up, thinking about stealing three waist cards, Qiao Zhuang Yi Rong, pretending to be the possibility of the Royal Forest Army infiltrating, or let Feng Yu investigate, and then let Geng Shu climb the city wall and go in, and notify Luo Wang to come out to respond.
Geng Shu said, "Don't take risks. Once caught, it will only make it more troublesome."
Jiang Heng said, "Then we can only go back to Song County."
Suddenly, Geng Shu put his hand on the Lieguang Sword, slowly drew the sword, and turned around.
Jiang Heng turned his head, stretched out his hand, and stopped in front of Li Mi, and the two retreated behind Geng Shu.
In the bushes behind the hillside, a figure appeared.
Jiang Heng saw him again. The impression of this man was too deep on him. His twisted facial features and scars on his face, even if he glanced at Luoyang five years ago, he would never forget.
"Little Taishi's plan went wrong," said the tall and thin assassin, "what can we do about it?"
The person who came was Jie Gui, who wore a felt hat on his fingers and showed a strange and chilling smile: "Master Zhou You Zhou is waiting for His Highness in the post house in the city, if you don't mind, I will come here. Bring everyone into the city?"
Li Mi was shocked when she heard the words, and looked at Jiang Heng and then at Geng Shu.
When Jie Gui appeared, Geng Shu seemed to have regained another identity, and said coldly, "No need, let him stay in the city by himself."
Jie Gui smiled and said, "That's not good. Lord Zhou brought me a letter. Your Highness is still sympathetic to us running errands."
"Brother." Jiang Heng said suddenly.
When he heard this "brother", Jie Gui's face was not surprised, but showed an expression of "as expected".
Geng Shu glanced at Jiang Heng and raised his eyebrows to indicate, "Are you really willing?" Jiang Heng nodded and said, "Follow him."
Jie Gui made a "please" gesture, and the three followed behind him.
"What do I say," Jiang Heng took the lead behind Jie Gui, and said lazily, "So you are here too, are the assassins of the Wang family so idle? Why don't you protect the royal family?"
Jie Gui said, "I don't want to make such a trip either, but our brother and brother Gong of the Dayong royal family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really worried about his brother, so he brought me here in person."
Jie Gui took the three to a section of the dried-up river in the moat outside the city. This section of the river was right under the Zhongshan Mountain. Li Mi glanced at Geng Shu, who was hidden in the darkness and did not show his face.
Neither Jie Gui nor Geng Shu mentioned the matter of Xue Ye's wanted that day, and they knew each other.
"Who is Zhouyou?" Jiang Heng said.
From the time Jie Gui appeared, Geng Shu maintained a vigilant look, walking behind Jie Gui, but always pressing the sword with one hand.
"Guests from the East Palace," Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng, "responsible for communicating with Guan Wei, and managing liaison with the country."
Among the five countries, the relationship between the countries is in charge of the left minister Wei. In these years, the internal affairs and foreign affairs have been gradually transferred to the East Palace to prepare for the transition of power in advance.
But this time, it was obviously beyond the capabilities of Prince Taki, and the left minister had to assist the East Palace and try to influence the situation in Daiguo.
"You are from the East Palace, right?" Jiang Heng asked Geng Shu.
Geng Shu didn't answer, but Jie Gui said, "Little Taishi, you are very smart."
Geng Shu whispered, "Heng'er, listen to my explanation."
Geng Shu wanted to say something, but how could he explain it? The fact is that in the four years of Yong Kingdom, he became a hot young general in the court, and the purpose of training him is to pave the way for the future crown prince Taki to inherit the royal power. When Ju Cong took over the throne from his dead brother Ju Lang, he suffered from factional infighting, so he had to ensure that the power of the future court would be smoothly concentrated in the hands of his only son.
Jiang Heng said: "No need to explain, I know it all."
Hearing this tone, Geng Shu nodded, unlike Jiang Heng who was blaming himself.
Li Mi suddenly said in the dark, "Are you from the Yong Kingdom?"
Jie Gui said, "Yes, Prince Mi is also very smart."
Li Mi said again: "I heard it right? The one who assassinated Juicong under Yubi Pass was from the Yong Kingdom?"
When Jiang Heng was about to answer, "I'm not from Yong", Jie Gui answered first, "It was just a misunderstanding."
"The misunderstanding has caused many people to suffer," Li Mi said. "You better explain this misunderstanding seriously."
Li Mi was right. Originally, the Daiguo general and Yongguo formed an alliance and marriage. It was because of this assassination that Daiwang decided to send troops instead. All kinds of chaos that were out of control all started with Jiang Heng's sword.
"There will be a chance." Jie Gui said, "Yongren specially came to save you, isn't it enough to make amends?"
Li Mi sneered, Jie Gui pushed open a wooden door at the end of the passage, and said, "When we arrive, please ask His Royal Highness to move to the post house to talk."
The four appeared in the backyard of a residential house. A carriage was parked outside the door. Jie Gui put on a felt hat, covered his head and face, and drove the car himself. Geng Shu, Jiang Heng, and Li Mi crowded in the car and were taken into the backyard of Yongguo Inn.
"It's really cold enough." Jie Guiyu let out a breath of fog and said, "Master Taishi, let's catch up?"
