Chapter 67 Identity Exposure

Looking at the official Liu Qi and others in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. In just two days, they went from Yuzhang County to Poyang County. They travel almost day and night. They only rest for three hours a day, and all the other time are on their way. Fortunately, their horses are all first-class horses, otherwise they will be tired of lying down in such a hurry.

Lin He urged him and said immediately, "Sir, we will arrive in Zhongling County soon. Will you take a rest there?"

Liu Qi took a look at the cavalry behind him. The two-day journey made them full of dust. They looked dusty, and the most important thing was that the horse could no longer stand it. Each of these horses is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and sometimes even if it is worth tens of thousands of dollars, it is difficult to buy. Although Liu Qi is in a hurry, he will not care about these horses.

"In that case, let's take a day off in Zhongling City." Liu Qi ordered.

Half an hour later, Liu Qi and others came to Zhongling City. The generals who guarded the city like Yifeng County did not let them into the city, but after Liu Qi revealed his identity, the county lieutenant of Zhongling City respectfully led them into the city.

After entering the city, Liu Qi and others did not live in the mansion arranged by the county lieutenant, but in the post station. Lin He took people to buy necessary food and water on the road, although he brought some food from Yifeng County. But it is impossible for more than a thousand cavalrymen to bring too much food and water, which needs to be replenished at any time.

Nearly a thousand people, including Liu Qi, lived in the post station and directly filled the originally lonely post station. After checking that there was nothing wrong with the post station, Liu Qi returned to the room safely and lay down with her clothes without even washing. When she woke up, it was already dark.

Just as I was about to get up, I heard footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

"The prince." Gan Ning's voice was a little rapid.

As soon as Liu Qi heard it, he knew that something had happened and got up and said, "Come in."

Gan Ning pushed the door and said with a hurry, "Son, when Lin He came back just now, he found that we might be under surveillance."

Liu Qi's face changed and he asked, "Are you serious?" He went to the city as a deputy general of Han. There was no accident and who dared to monitor him, unless his identity was exposed.

Gan Ning pointed to the outside and said, "I just ordered a few brothers to check. There are people monitoring the front, back and back of the post station, and the people in this post station are also suspicious. Lin He quietly inquired that all the people in the post station were called away when the prince entered the city, and then they were replaced with the current people.

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Liu Qi already knew that his identity of others had been exposed, and he might have been exposed before entering the city. Although I don't know how to expose it, it's not the time to think about it. Liu Qi ordered Gan Ning, "You immediately call General Wang to discuss the matter, and tell the people below not to show their feet and pretend not to know."

Gan Ning nodded and left, and came with Wang Yi after a while.

After the three of them sat down, Liu Qi looked at Wang Yi and asked, "General Wang, how many soldiers and horses are there in Zhongling County?"

Wang Yi had just taken advantage of Lin He's shopping and secretly ordered people to inquire about the situation in the city. He hurriedly said, "There are only 800 soldiers and horses in Zhongling County, and they are all soldiers and there are no cavalry."

Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning again and said, "Is there any way for Xingba to let me leave Zhongling County unconsciously?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. I'm afraid the county lieutenant of Zhongling County has been wary of us. It's difficult to leave secretly, and it's difficult to get through the gate."

Liu Qi was silent and said, "With your guess, has the Zhongling County Lieutenant already known our identity?" Liu Qi and others have been hiding their identities since they came out of the mountain, with the hat of the deputy general. Liu Qi couldn't figure out how the county lieutenant could see their identity.

Wang Yi raised his head and said, "I'm afraid the county lieutenant already knows our identity, otherwise he won't dare to send someone to monitor the prince."

Liu Qi nodded and didn't say anything. There was too much difference between the identity of his deputy general and the county lieutenant. Without perfect certainty, he did not dare to monitor himself at will. Liu Qi took a look at Wang Yi and Gan Ning and said solemnly, "Now I want to know whether the county lieutenant found our trace himself or the whole Jiangdong found our trace."

If the county lieutenant himself finds that they can kill people, he just takes some risks. If Jiangdong finds their traces, they will have to change their plans.

Gan Ning looked at Liu Qi in surprise and said, "Do you want to start with that county lieutenant?"

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Yes, no matter what the situation is, we should get rid of this county lieutenant. It's better to be more direct."

It was completely dark. At this time, it was already three o'clock. There were figures lying in the corner of the station. These were the eyeliners arranged by the county lieutenant in the station. However, at this time, they were already dead. Their throats were cut, and there was still unbelievable in their eyes.

Outside the post station, several figures were hidden in the shadow of the house and monitored the situation of the post station all the time. Although it was already three o'clock, none of them slacked. Although they did not understand why the county lieutenant asked them to monitor the lieutenant, the county lieutenant ordered them not to come. Although the county lieutenants didn't say anything, they also knew that it was important, and they stared at the post station tightly.

Several figures floated out of the post station in the night, as if a gust of wind blew without any sound.

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp knife cutting his throat sounded, and the people watching the post fell down before they could react. Then their bodies were dragged to the post station, and the blood stains on the ground were cleaned up.

Only Liu Qi was left in the room. At this moment, he knelt at the table and looked at the military map, frowned, and his identity revealed how he should return to Jingzhou.

The knock on the door sounded again. Liu Qi got up and put away the map and walked out of the room. Outside the door, Gan Ning saw Liu Qi coming out and whispered, "It's clean."

Liu Qi nodded and walked out, and Gan Ning followed closely.

..................

In the county government, the county lieutenant turned around the hall with a look of anxiety on his face. Just yesterday, he received an order from Wu Jun to set out for the whole Jiangdong.

And just now he saw Liu Qi and his party. Although the white armor and excellent horses were dusty, the long-term murderous spirit could not be wrong. Although he doesn't know where these people got the identity of the deputy general, he has determined that these people must be the people Wu Jun is looking for.

I found that these county lieutenants were not happy, but were a little scared. At first glance, these people are elite cavalry who kill without blood. With the 800 soldiers and horses in their own county who have never been to the battlefield, they are definitely no opponents. But if he pretends not to know, the punishment is also unbearable for him.

He could only order people to monitor secretly and send someone to pass on the news to the Taishou.

A guard quickly came in and said, "Your excellency has been arranged. The inside and outside of the post station are all our people, and the messenger sent to inform the lord has also left."

Hearing the words of the guard, the county lieutenant was relieved and then told again, "Remember that you must not act rashly without my order. The most important thing is not to let them find out."

"Adults rest assured that these people are selected by their subordinates themselves. They are all clever people and will never be found."

Seeing the guard's oath, the county lieutenant made it down and picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.
