The main reason is that a certain nun's silver needle is too dazzling.

Does he dare not to buy it?

In the hall, Xie Qingbai hurriedly took the letter from Shao Jingheng, and when he confirmed that the letter was written by himself, he couldn't help but frown.

There is indeed something wrong with these soldiers.

He still didn't know where Shao Jingheng and the others got this letter from, so he asked anxiously.

If they snatched it from soldiers...

Then he must have been targeted by those officers and soldiers, so they have to make plans early, but if they encounter the carrier pigeon and take it down...

Then you can stand still and prepare a strategy, and don't alert the enemy.

Xie Qingbai thought very well.

He just forgot...

Either Shao Jingheng snatched this letter from a soldier or he encountered a carrier pigeon on the road and took it back.

It's all about soldiers.

After all, Shao Jingheng and the others would not shoot his carrier pigeon.

Don't ask why Xie Qingbai is so confident...

Because the tails of homing pigeons sent out of the city by the Kingdom of Apocalypse will be dyed a little red.

Moreover, it is a cinnabar red specially made by the government.

This is a red color that Chinese people are not allowed to make privately. Officials can recognize it immediately when they see this kind of homing pigeon.

Chu Zhaoci is from the official family!

He will definitely recognize it!

Shao Jingheng explained to him in a low voice that this was a homing pigeon they met on the road outside the city and had just been shot when they met.

It was probably shot by a nearby soldier.

Xie Qingbai was immediately shocked, "Then, the soldier lurking nearby didn't show up?"

This situation...

Anyone with a brain can imagine that there are soldiers ambushing around, and their purpose of shooting the homing pigeon is to see the content and stop it.

Then it's impossible not to come and grab the homing pigeons.

Even if the carrier pigeons were found by Shao Jingheng and others, the soldiers would kill them.

Shao Jingheng subconsciously looked at a certain nun beside him.

With his vision during the day, he could vaguely see her facial features, but at night he could only vaguely see her little face.

But that didn't stop him from looking at her and talking.

"This is all thanks to our little girl, Xiao Nian."

Although Hua Xiaonian can't eat meat, she likes it, especially because it can make money.

When she saw the homing pigeon, she instinctively mistook it for an ordinary pigeon and immediately picked it up and wanted to roast it and eat it.

Chu Zhaoci could recognize that it was a homing pigeon.

He also clearly saw the mailbox on the pigeon's feet.

He immediately understood that this was probably the homing pigeon sent by Xie Qingbai.

Fortunately, he had the paper with him.

He immediately took out a piece of paper and messed it up like the letter on the pigeon's foot, taking the opportunity to steal the letter and change the post.

The soldiers were all around, but they didn't see him exchanging letters. They thought the letter tied to the pigeon's feet was still the original letter.

At this point, you have to act.

Chu Zhaoci immediately patted Xie Jian's arm and asked with a hint of ridicule, "Didn't the young master just say you are hungry?"

"Look, there are ready-made pigeons to eat."

Xie Jian did not realize what Chu Zhaoci meant, but Shao Jingheng understood it immediately.

He also cooperated and said, "There happen to be dead branches nearby, so I will set up a fire and burn pigeons for the young master to eat."

As he said this, he looked very much like the sycophant and hurried back to collect firewood.

The carrier pigeon was held in the hands of the little nun.

Listening to what Donor Shao and Donor Chu just said, the little nun also noticed something was wrong. It seemed that this pigeon had to be eaten.

Then you have to pay.

She took out the silver needle and waved it in front of donor Xie Jian. Do you want to buy it or not?

This...Xie Jian can only bear the pain and buy it!

But the money hasn't been paid yet, and he said he would ask his father for it when he comes back.

They deliberately let the soldiers around see them roasting the pigeons, and at the same time roasting the letters on the pigeons' feet.

In this way, although the soldiers did not see the content of the letter, they had already guessed what it was.

Mainly I want to intercept it.

Shao Jingheng and the others burned the letter, so there was no need for them to show up. After all, Shao Jingheng and the others were located very close to the city gate.

If they showed up rashly, they would easily attract the attention of the officers and soldiers in the city, which would only cause trouble.

...

After hearing what they said, Xie Qingbai had to sigh that Shao Jingheng and Chu Zhaoci were really smart.

But at the same time, there was also a problem.

"They have already shot my homing pigeon. Although they did not see the content inside, it can be regarded as a way of alerting the snake, right?"

What is their purpose...

Xie Qingbai still doesn’t know.

But there must be a reason why these soldiers suddenly entered the city.

And, the reason is not simple.

No matter what their reasons are, Xie Qingbai must protect the people of Heshui County and must take countermeasures.

As for what countermeasures to use?

Chu Zhaoci and Shao Jingheng were thinking about it on the way here.

It's just that they haven't communicated yet.

Now when they heard Xie Qingbai asked about countermeasures, they all subconsciously said, "Use the strategy to your advantage!"

This is a coincidence.

The two of them looked at each other unconsciously and smiled meaningfully.

Xie Qingbai was puzzled, "How can you follow the plan?"

Those officers and soldiers haven't used any moves yet, so how can they use their tactics?

This depends on Hua Xiaonian.

Shao Jingheng turned his eyes and asked her, "Miss Xiao Nian, is there any way to find Li Hu?"

Li Hu is Hua Xiaonian's younger brother. Hua Xiaonian could follow them into the city but said nothing along the way. This is enough to show...

She has a way to find Li Hu.

Shao Jingheng deserves to be Shao Jingheng.

His guess was correct. Hua Xiaonian did have a way to find Li Hu.

When she accepted Li Hu and the others as her disciples, the nun gave each of them a medicine bag. To be precise, each of them was given a handful of medicinal herbs.

The bag is your own purse.

Herbs are picked from Qingfeng Mountain. They are medicinal herbs that nourish vitality and replenish qi. Wearing them on their bodies is of great benefit to them.

At the same time, the little nun had a bottle of bugs.

This kind of little bug likes to eat that kind of medicinal herbs. As long as Li Hu and the others are wearing medicinal herbs, they can be found.

Xiao Ni did not speak.

She just silently took out a fist-sized porcelain bottle from a small cloth bag, opened it, and revealed the "little bug" inside.

Oh, they are just bugs in her eyes.

But in the eyes of Chu Zhaoci and others...

This horse is obviously a big spider!
