It was very cold in the ruined temple at night. The two of them were wearing thin cotton clothes. Especially Liu Xin `er, she had never suffered this much before, causing her body to tremble all night long.
Li Zhi's heart ached a little, and he immediately took off his clothes. Then, he took off his clothes and wrapped them together. This way, they would be a little warmer.
The next morning, the two of them slowly woke up.
They opened their eyes almost at the same time. When they looked at each other, their faces turned red at the same time. Because Li Zhi was naked at this moment, although there was still the cloth on Liu Xin Er, they could still feel the temperature of each other's bodies.
"Morning."
After all, Li Zhi was a man from the future. After countless bombardments, although he was still a little shy, he did not stutter.
"Yes."
Liu Xin `er replied softly.
"Bang bang bang!"
However, at this moment, there was a series of knocks on the door.
"Not good!"
Li Zhi's expression changed!
"Xin `er, quickly run from the back door. Also, take this jade pendant and go to the old pagoda tree in the alley on the left side of the city gate. Tonight, or at the latest tomorrow morning, a person in green clothes with a long sword on his back will be there.”
"Just tell him that it's Shangjing!"
Li Zhi said with a serious expression. He had thought about it for the whole night and finally remembered something very important. Liu Hongji seemed to have served as the commandant of Zhechong Manor in the Inner Pass and had commanded more than 100,000 soldiers in the Manor!
Therefore, if Ye Gucheng went to the inner pass to ask for reinforcements, it would alert the enemy.
Li Zhi wasn't worried about Ye Gucheng's safety. Even the entire Zhe Chong Manor wouldn't be able to keep him here. However, this would alarm Duke Kui Liu Hongji in the capital.
He believed that Ye Gucheng would be able to understand everything based on his experience in the Zhe Chong Manor and Liu Xin `er's words.
"No, I can't leave you behind!"
Li Zhi's expression was serious.
"Don't make a scene. Listen to every word I say. Tell that green-clothed swordsman that there might be a change in the Zhechong Manor! Do you understand?"
Liu Xin Er saw Li Zhi's serious expression and nodded her head in a daze. The jade pendant in her hand was actually dragon patterned! This was not something that ordinary people could use!
This was only used by the royal family. Even ordinary members of the royal family were not allowed to use this orthodox dragon pattern!
After Liu Xin `er left, the door was directly smashed open.
Crash!
A large group of dozens of soldiers rushed in!
"Brat! Where's Miss Liu?"
A soldier came forward and said to Li Zhi fiercely. Although he really wanted to fight, he could still remember that County Magistrate Wang had instructed him not to use violence.
What Li Zhi didn't know was that Ye Gucheng had indeed met the commandant of the Zhechong Manor through Li Zhi's Public Order Envoy token.
The result was exactly as Li Zhi had guessed. The commandant was indeed someone who was trained by Liu Hongji, Duke of Kui.
They had wanted to take down Ye Gucheng at that time, but with Ye Gucheng's martial arts skills, he easily broke through the army and ignored the hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhe Chong Manor.
Of course, Liu Hongji was also informed about Ye Gucheng's situation!
Ordinary officials might not know what Li Zhi was doing, but as Li Shimin's trusted minister and even a witness to the conversation between Li Zhi and Wei Zheng that day, he clearly knew that Li Zhi went out for a private visit!
He had even obtained Li Shiming's twelve Public Order Emissaries, allowing him to become a Public Order Emissary for any of the twelve Great Tang Paths if necessary.
Mobilizing an army had the right to act first and report later!
Liu Hongji was naturally scared out of his wits, but he was indeed a fierce general who had experienced hundreds of battles. He had planned to use all his connections to wipe out everything in the Spiritual State when his son-in-law was promoted this year.
He would make this matter untraceable! There was no doubt that Duke Kui could do this.
But now, they were actually bumped into by Li Zhi. Looking at the way Li Zhi sent people to call for help, it was obvious that he already knew everything and was ready to make a move.
Liu Hongji immediately decided that if he didn't make a decision, he would be in trouble! He didn't dare to rebel for the time being, but he could still kill a Crown Prince who had hidden his identity and traveled the world.
This was why everything was out of Li Zhi's expectations. After these soldiers received the order, they went crazy and captured people everywhere.
On the surface, he was looking for Liu Xin Er, but in reality, he was looking for Li Zhi.
Just like that, Li Zhi was brought back to his cell.
"Is this person in the cell?"
County Magistrate Wang asked the bailiff.
The bailiff took a look and saw Li Zhi on it. It seemed that Liu Hongji had already made his move. No matter how fast the isolated city was, it was not as fast as a messenger pigeon. Therefore, Liu Hongji's order had been brought to the Spiritual State in advance, and even to Kaiyang County.
"Yes, we caught him in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs today. It was said that he was with the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but the eldest daughter of the Liu family ran away.”
County Magistrate Wang nodded.
"Alright, let's not bother about the Young Miss of the Liu Family. The Magistrate has ordered us to escort this person and the Liu Family to Lingzhou Prefecture! As soon as possible!"
Thinking of the urgent tone of the magistrate in the letter, Magistrate Wang was very curious. Who was this young man? Even the magistrate was so anxious to catch it.
"Yes, my lord!"
The bailiff nodded. Then, Li Zhi, who had just entered the cell for a few minutes, was pulled out, covered with a black cloth, locked in a carriage, and escorted to Lingzhou Prefecture!
At the same time, Ye Gucheng had a vague feeling that something was going to happen because of the incident at Zhechong Mansion. Therefore, he rushed to Kaiyang County City with all his might without caring about the consumption of his Genuine Qi.
However, when he arrived at the old pagoda tree that he had agreed to meet with Li Zhi, he did not see Li Zhi. He only saw a little girl curled up under a tree with a dragon-patterned jade pendant in her arms.
