Chapter 522 Robe Wat (Eighty)
The Ancheng grain case, which was written on a note by several families and imprisoned by multiple locks, has revived again from the moment Xue Ling galloped towards Ningcheng, and the culprit is still unknown.

None of the participants could stay out of the matter, including Shen Yuanzhou.

Because at the beginning they all suspected that the people who stole food were going through secret roads, Lu Wen'an was afraid that something would happen to Pingcheng, and after returning home, he took people to spend nearly a month to redirect all the secret roads in Pingcheng, and blocked all the original ones.

Ancheng didn't have such luck, Shen Yuanzhou also asked Hu Ying to change most of it, but at that time the thief didn't catch him, so he thought about it and asked to keep some of the original secret paths, especially the one used by the thief that night.More agencies are deployed inside, and I want to try to sit on the sidelines and wait for the thieves to commit another crime.

Shen Yuanzhou's thinking was similar to that of Lu Wen'an, there would never be a cat that only stole once in the world, this method was thoughtful.In the month when the crime happened, Ancheng was strictly guarded, but half a year later, there was no trace of the thief, and Hu Ying gradually relaxed a lot.

Especially when Shi Qi entered the city recently, everyone with dignity had to accompany him, how could Hu Ying have the time to think about catching the thief.Even though the little prince was very happy to wander around the south gate, no one thought of this.

After all, everyone above knew what happened back then, and most of it was caused by the Huo family, so the Hu people who stole food should belong to Xianbei.Even if it is a Jie person, it is absolutely impossible for a royal noble like Shi Qi to come here in person just to steal some rice.

On the first day, Shi Qi stepped on a stone slab next to the path in the south of the city, and immediately knew that the secret path underneath had not been changed.He has a noble status, and the boots on his feet are polished with rhino horns. Although the difference between stepping on a hard ground and a hollow stone slab is not huge, if you want to check it, you can easily distinguish it.

After stepping on his feet, he was not happy, Shi Qi jumped on top of the horse and climbed up on the horse's back, only to be very satisfied with a smile on his face.It's a pity that Hu Ying didn't follow at that time, and Zhao Deyi and others didn't know that there was a secret passage under the stone slab.

Shi Qi's petty behavior is completely unworthy of being reported.At that time, he was only secretly happy, but when he thought about it last night, he undoubtedly hated and rejoiced.Two of the bodyguards who followed Shi Qi to Ancheng participated in stealing food in Ancheng, and one of them was naturally the one Zhao Deyi sent out of the North City Gate at midnight.

No one knew that Shi Qi was looking for what was under the stone slabs, and no one knew that the Jie man did not go straight to Jie after leaving the city gate, but turned around and returned to the south gate of Ancheng after going around for a while. Ma Yi waited for Shi Qi there.

Zhao Deyi saw Shi Qi riding a horse heading north, in fact he lost his horse as soon as he ran out of sight, while everyone was chasing towards the north gate, he took advantage of the cover of the old house in Ancheng, and quickly ran into the secret passage.

At the beginning, Xue Ling explained it very carefully, he threw out the torch and walked towards the opening and closing.After mastering the tricks, the stone slab was lifted and covered, and the moss covered it suddenly remained unmoved.

And there was a huge loophole in the mechanism inside the secret passage, together with Shen Yuanzhou, they all prevented people from outside the city from entering, and no one thought of preventing people from the city from going out through these secret passages.

Those traps were the points or handrails that people who came in had to touch, but they didn't touch any of them when they went out. Shi Qi went all the way to get out of the city, but he still didn't fire a single arrow.

The Jie man who went out of the city last night had been waiting here for a long time, when he saw Shi Qi, he immediately saluted and handed over the horse to him, but at this moment Zhao Deyi was still running around at the north gate of the city like a headless chicken.

Hu Ying also sent some people to look for them on the outskirts of the city, but they all focused on the north gate, and there were very few at the south gate.The secret road is only used to send messages out of the city when the city is under siege, and the exit outside the city is naturally very remote.

And when Xianbei was detained, Shi Qi and Shi Heng made a detour from Pingcheng to Ancheng to return to Jie. As soon as Shi Qi remembered it, he followed the direction of the sun and drove his horse for sixty or seventy miles in the direction of Pingcheng before walking on the atom.

As a result, Hu Ying had nowhere to look for anyone.

At sunset, the life and death in Beijing gradually came to an end, Ning Cheng's soldiers called for a break, and Shi Qi finally returned to his tribe.The people inside were puzzled when they saw him running out of breath, Shi Qi didn't care to start the story again, so he asked if there was any news about his father recently.

The answer I received was that some people from the Jiehuang tribe sent a letter in the morning, saying that since the young prince has not been in Jie in recent years, the people of the tribe can choose another leader by themselves, or all of them will be included in Jiehuang's account.The big guys were discussing, and the little prince came back.

Shi Qi didn't understand his doubts, but was even more terrified.He didn't want to attribute the reason to his trust in Xue Ling. Even if this trust wasn't approval, he still resisted very much. He only focused on thinking that it was the god who inspired him.

Something must have happened to his father and brother.

Jie people do not have a fixed residence between the two places. If there is an urgent matter, they must either send an eagle to find it, or use a search horse to lead the way.This kind of horse is a group of horses raised since childhood. When a tribe separates, it takes one away.The old horse knows the way and misses the old love. After artificial training, he can always find the location of his childhood companion.

Shi Qi ordered four or five people, and followed the horse until late at night.

From a distance, the tents of the tribe are all brightly lit, and the figures on the curtains are singing and dancing, which is very lively. , followed those people on the road and had already heard Shi Qi talk about it, seeing this scene, they thought that what Shi Qi said didn't happen, they all got off their horses and wanted to enter.

Shi Qi's heart was beating wildly because of the great anticipation, and he followed the crowd to a short distance, but the young man suddenly stopped his horse, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't go anymore."

Those people turned around and looked at him strangely, Shi Qi repeated again: "Don't go in."

They could already see three or four people coming and going inside. The barbarians were no more than the guards on duty at night, but it was not uncommon for people to be patrolling inside the tent.There is not much difference in appearance between Xianbei and Jie people, and they may not be able to tell them apart during the day, let alone at night, but Shi Qi told the people below to stop without hesitation.

In the tent, it was definitely not his father and brother.

Jie people say they live by water and don't pay attention to other things, but there are regulations for the placement of livestock and horses in the tents, not to mention the gorgeous and inferior positions. The most important tribes have stables in the east, west, north and south.

The reason why it is at the outermost edge is to facilitate the entry and exit of the horse.However, this is the rule of ordinary Jie people. Those with a little bit of status are all connected by several tents, and their beloved horses never leave their bodies day and night.

Xianbei was influenced a lot by Han culture, especially Tuoba Mian. The capital of the king was originally an imitation of the Central Plains city, and the people who followed him were of course accustomed to living in a fixed place.Although the status of horses is also high, it is nothing more than the house where the horses are raised is more gorgeous and the water plants are more abundant.

Shi Qi and the others planned to enter from the east entrance of the tribe, with the intention of quickly finding their father and brother.On the grassland, the direction where the sun rises is where the gods are located, so the tents for the most noble people are set up in the east of the tribe.

However, the first thing that catches the eye is the outermost stables.Shi Qi saw his elder brother's favorite white-fronted sweat horse, which was mixed with other horses, half-kneeling on the ground, chewing hay with great difficulty.

This horse is delicate and delicate, if it is not hungry for a day or two, it will definitely not eat this kind of food.Eldest brother usually loves it like eyeballs, if he doesn't keep it in his tent, he will be willing to throw it out and treat him like this.Shi Qi looked around again intently, and the horses that Emperor Jie usually likes were also half-dead in the stable.

The more he didn't want to remember Xue Ling, the more everything was about Xue Ling.The scene in front of him could clearly prove that something happened to his father and brother, but what instantly came to Shi Qi's mind was:
What that bastard said was true.
