Chapter 143 Tracking

In the early morning, Liu Xia took Dabao out to Longdu City.

Sitting on the back of the earth spirit beast, Liu Xia always had a question in her heart.

Liu Hongtao handed it over to the trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He believed that Liu Hongtao should have bit out Tuoba Lingyun long ago, but the court had no intention of taking action against Tuoba Lingyun.

The matter of Heifengzhai is solid evidence, and Tuoba Lingyun can't be blamed for anything.

It's just that the court did not take action for a long time, which made Liu Xia feel that things would be more troublesome than he thought.

The place to go with Dabao today is the leather shop where the two of them met the owner of the leather shop in the Valley of the Emperor.

After the end of the Heifengzhai incident, Liu Xia inferred that there was an armed force hidden around the Longdu, and this force was the main force used to attack the Longdu after the uprising of Heifengzhai.

At present, it seems that Tiankuiwei and Longdu Guard are the least suspected for the time being.

The guard army stationed in the Valley of the Emperor is the most suspected.

Because when Dabao and Liu Xia were preparing to steal the eternal silence in the Valley of the Emperor, they knew that someone had an affair with the defenders in the Valley of the Emperor.

What we have to do now is to follow the melons and see what tricks the other party has.

In less than an hour, Dabao and Liu Xia arrived in Yongwang Town.

As mentioned earlier, Yongwang Town is a small town outside Longdu, but it is famous for its leather goods business.

The scale of the town is not small. By the time Liu Xia and Dabao arrived, there was already a lot of traffic and pedestrians rubbed shoulders.

Many caravans from the Tianji Dynasty will enter here to buy some leather goods and then sell them all over the country.

So, there are caravans everywhere on the street.

Liu Xia and Dabao then went to a breakfast shop, had a drink, and then went to Changtai leather goods.

When you get to the door of Changtai Leather Goods, you can see that the business inside is really good.

The door is full of enthusiasm, and several guys are in full swing.

Liu Xia and Dabao arrived inside, and no one received them.

At this time, Liu Xia was looking for Zhang Heng's figure.

Zhang Heng was the man he met in the Valley of the Kings that night and reported to the garrison officer.

Just because I was going to Wuzhou to suppress the bandits at that time, I ignored this matter.

"Isn't that boy here?"

Dabao muttered in a low voice.

"No hurry, wait."

Liu Xia smiled faintly.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over and greeted him warmly.

Liu Xia briefly asked a few questions. The guy saw that Liu Xia didn't really buy things, so he didn't pay attention to it.

At this time, Liu Xia saw two people coming down from the attic.

When these two people walked, they were windy and their eyes were cold. At first glance, they were officers who had been to the battlefield.

Then, Zhang Heng also followed and began to greet the leaders of the caravan.

Liu Xia gave Dabao a wince at this time, and the two of them retreated.

Then the two of them found an inn in Yongwang Town and stayed there.

Keep an eye on Zhang Heng with all his strength.

Zhang Heng is just an intermediary. He has both the upper family and the next family.

Nowadays, he doesn't know who his upper family is, and he doesn't know who his next family is.

For two days, there was nothing wrong with the leather goods shop. Although several officers have come in and out of the leather goods shop, it seems that they are really here to buy things.

Until the night of the third day, Liu Xia saw Zhang Heng riding a local spirit beast and leaving Yongwang Town.

Liu Xia hurriedly followed Dabao behind him to see where he was going.

Sure enough, as Liu Xia expected, he actually went in the direction of the Valley of the Emperor.

The two people carefully followed him and went all the way into the Valley of the Emperor.

Zhang Heng seems to be very clear about the defense of the Valley of the Emperor.

Following his footsteps, he can easily avoid the patrol guards.

Less than two hours before and after, Zhang Heng stopped outside the courtyard wall of Liu Xia and Dabao's tombs and hid in the grass.

Here, it is very desolate. After the collapse of the Daqing Dynasty, the spiritual guards have disappeared.

Opposite the Daqing Dynasty is the tombs of the emperors of the Tianji Dynasty. From afar, it looks brightly lit, but it looks more desolate here.

After waiting for less than half an hour, a wave of patrols passed by, which was the same as what happened to Dabao and Liu Xia that night.

When this wave of patrols passed Zhang Heng's hiding place, a leader of the patrol said, "Brothers, you go first. I'll pee."

At present, the patrol team continued to move forward, and the captain quietly reached the root of the wall. While unbuckling the belt, he whispered, "It's so windy tonight."

"The moon in Tianshan is also very round."

Say this, Zhang Heng came out of the grass.

"Brother Zhang, have you been here for a while?"

At this time, the battle handed a bamboo tube to Zhang Heng.

"Ha ha, it's been a while."

Speaking of this, Zhang Heng also gave him a bamboo tube.

After the two exchanged, the captain of Zhao did not talk any more nonsense and turned around and left directly.

And Zhang Heng also hid the bamboo tube, turned around and went down the mountain.

Liu Xia and Dabao followed him back to Yongwang Town at dawn.

Zhang Heng's next home seems to have been found. Yes, who is his last home?

"Why don't you just grab Zhang Heng and go back and let Cai Wei interrogate him. How safe it is?"

Returning to the inn, Dabao lay down ** and proposed with a weed in his in his t.

"No hurry, Zhang Heng is irrelevant. Once we catch him, we will startle the snake. Find out and go home and then talk about it.

Liu Xia said with a smile.

At noon the next day, Zhang Heng rode his horse to Longdu in person.

Liu Xia and Dabao followed Zhang Heng and returned to Longdu.

After Zhang Heng arrived at Longdu, he went straight to the Tingyu Tower in the south of the city.

This Tingyu Tower is a tea shop for recreation.

There are often folk artists playing and singing in it, and many nobles in Longdu like to go there to listen to music and drink tea.

This Heng is obviously a regular visitor here. He entered the Tingyu Tower and was taken to the backyard by the clerk.

After

, Liu Xia knew nothing about what happened again.

Just as the two were anxious, they saw a thin man coming out of the backyard.

"Keep an eye on him!"

Liu Xia hurriedly patted Dabao, and the two followed him out.

This thin man walks very carefully and looks back from time to time.

"What are you doing with him?"

Dabao asked puzzledly.

"This man is a eunuch!"

Liu Xia said in a low voice.

"How do you know?"

Dabao asked in a low voice.

"I am a spiritual, and my sense of smell is much sharper than yours. Most of the eunuchs in the palace were injured in the urethra during castration. Therefore, they always have a faint smell of urine. Although these eunuchs were covered with powder. But I can still smell it. That taste is very unique. It's the same as seeing the confinement room.

Liu Xia explained in a low voice.

Dabao suddenly realized: "You mean, Zhang Heng came to Longdu to see this eunuch?"

"It is probably nine out of ten. Let's see if he is heading in the direction of the palace.

Liu Xia said in a low voice.

Immediately, the two people followed the eunuch.

The eunuch was obviously very alert. He took Liu Xia and Dabao around the south of the city, and then went to Wangcheng.

After Liu Xia and Dabao saw him enter the palace from Xihua Gate, Liu Xia and Dabao went to the royal palace.

It seems that Zhang Heng's family is in the palace.

Liu Xia thought, is this Zhang Heng the emperor's man?

But when you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel right.

As the king of a country, there is really no need for the emperor to cover it up to this point.

Unless it's something that can't be put on the surface.

It seems that all this will have to be figured out when we go to the palace tomorrow.

As soon as she returned to the royal palace, Cai Wei ran over excitedly and said, "Brother, brother, I'll tell you a good news."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Liu Xia asked with a smile.

"Brother Yixin and Situ Qingcang are here."

Cai Wei said hurriedly.

When Liu Xia heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

He was injured before and has been recovering from the injury in the northwest. Counting the days, it is indeed time to recover.

At that time, Liu Xia was recalled to Longdu, with a seriously injured heart along the way, which was really not good for the heart.

After discussion, Situ Qingcang stayed to take care of him.

Now that he has recovered from his injury, he will naturally come to Longdu to join him.

Now is the time to employ people. Liu Xia can't ask for two more helpers.

"Became me."

At this moment, Liu Xia hurried towards the hall.

Entering the hall, I saw the high-hearted and Situ Qingcang waiting there.

When they saw Liu Xia, they got up and said hello.

After this period of rest, I was refreshed and my face was red.

On one side, Situ Qingcang was in high spirits, and the jade tree was in the wind. Moreover, Liu Xia found that he had stepped into the spiritual master level.

This is a happy event.

"Oh, congratulations to Brother Situ, He Xi and Brother Situ. I didn't expect that your cultivation has been promoted a lot in just a few months.

When Liu Xia saw her old friend, she was naturally very happy and hurriedly said.

"I can't compare with the prince. If it weren't for the prince, it would have been a while for me to step into the spiritual master."

Situ Qingcang looks much more shy than in the northwest.

"Brother Yixin, I'm looking forward to your coming every day. I'm relieved when you come. The royal palace looks like it now, but the internal affairs are in a mess. I think you are the big housekeeper of the royal palace.

Liu Xia said with a smile.

The housekeeper has always been the master's confidant, but Liu Xia is indeed an old and down-to-earth person to deal with the daily affairs of the royal palace.

Otherwise, I have a headache for the sesame and mung beans in the royal palace every day.

"Okay, this time Situ and I came here day and night, just to know that you must be short of manpower. This housekeeper, I'll try it first to see if I can do it.

He smiled modestly.

"I think there is no problem. Well, Dabao, you go to Zhangzong and others. Tonight, we are all here. Have a good drink in the royal palace. Let's meet each other and get familiar with each other.

Liu Xia said with a smile.

"Good."

As soon as Dabao saw that he could eat happily tonight, he naturally went to the west courtyard happily.

Half an hour later, the royal palace held a banquet.

Everyone is drinking and chatting, naturally.
