　　They back to Tong Ze inner city with covered in dust and see Qiu Lan looking out of the gate of He Qing Prince Palace with her neck stretch out with a look of hope in the distance.

　　Everyone can’t help but being surprised.

　　Rong Tian winks at Rong Hu and Rong Hu understands, he speed up his horse to meet Qiu Lan, “Why did you come out and wait? What happened?”

　　“Tell the Great King and Duke Ming, the man sent by Prince Yong Yi have arrived half an hour ago.”

　　The low voice can’t hide the excitement, “There is news of Lie Er! “

　　Rong Hu froze, his face full of vitality, suddenly filled with uncontrollable excitement and rapt.

　　***

　　Yong Yin, late at night.

　　Yu Lang holds Lie Er who had been drugged so much so that he’s so weak that he doesn’t have the strength to truss a chicken, comes out silently from the other exit of the tunnel.

　　After making sure that the surrounding area is still safe for the time being, he gently places the still-dreaming Lie Er on the flat mud ground and lowered himself, observing the movement of the village not far below the field of vision.

　　It was quite a surprise that Yong Yi was able to trace this place.

　　Facing the sudden and well-arranged round-up, even Yu Lang had to admit generously that there was still a talented person that barely get by in Yong Yin royal family.

　　Dozens of torches are burning under the night sky, disturbing the tranquility of the normally secluded village. The sound of applause and the fierce shaking of the fire light indicated that a comprehensive and rigorous search of the village has begun.

　　The number of visible enemies is at least 60 or 70, but Yu Lang, who is proficient in this way, is very clear that these 60 or 70 people who are shouting in the village are just a cover.

　　If Yong Yi could be smart enough to find him here, he must have sent another person to set up an ambush outside the village and in the dense forest before launching the manhunts.

　　Once the hunted thought they could escape the sight of the 60 or 70 people and escape from the periphery of the village, and they would immediately become the target of an ambush when they couldn’t resist their reckless actions and expose their position.

　　Yu Lang, who has been rolling on the tip of the knife almost all his life, certainly wouldn’t have made such a low-level mistake.

　　But he also knows that staying still is also a dead end.

　　The enemy was searching every corner of the village inch by inch, and when they entered the the small room where Yu Lang is used to hide, the entrance to the cellar covered by the carpet will have nothing to hide in the watertight search, that cellar is the place where Yu Lang placed Lie Er under house-arrest during this time.

　　Once the cellar is found, the tunnel leading to it is also in danger of being found.

　　The enemy will be able to drill through the winding, cold and damp tunnel and find them directly here.

　　Yu Lang knows that he doesn’t have much time.

　　“It’s Yong Yi.” The extremely low words drifted gently into his ears.

　　Yu Lang turns back.

　　Lie Er is still lying there, but he has been awakened by the fire and voices.

　　Yu Lang’s medicine prevented him from exerting strength, and it’s difficult to sit up and watch the movement, but he knows that Yong Yi has come.

　　The dark eyes rotating, showing excitement and joy.

　　The color of Yu Lang’s eyes flash through a trace of gloom, but his tone was still as gentle as water, he whispers, “Yes, Yong Yi is here.”

　　The clear and moist voice, also under the moon, with a gentle and affectionate smile, if it were not for the roaring sound of the fire on the other side, it will really give people the illusion that the lovers are intimate and whispering under the moon.

　　Lie Er closes his eyes and murmurs, “Sure enough it’s him, I know he will find me.” There’s a smile of relief on his lips, and then he opens his black eyes and looks at Yu Lang. “Are you surrounded?”

　　“Yes.”

　　Lie Er looks at him and asks calmly, “Are you going to kill me?” He and Yu Lang are also on the same line, and they understand the rules of this business.

　　In case of emergency, the last job before leaving is usually —— Killing.

　　There is no speak about human emotion, potential spies always live between life and death, only the cruel enough can live for a long time.

　　Seeing that Yu Lang doesn’t answer, Lie Er shows a careless smile, “At this time, you don’t have to be pretentious, I understand.”
