Close to the south of Jishengtang is an inn called Shifang Inn. The main source of customers of this inn is patients who come to seek medical treatment from all over the world, making the inn a place where patients gather. Although the source of customers is guaranteed, most people will not come here to stay, for fear of being infected with diseases. Even the client is willing to stay because he has doubled his salary.

On the west side of the second floor of the inn is a room. Di Yan booked this room for a day and night, and did not allow the guys to disturb him. Although Zhao Qiuniang felt that there was no problem with Jishengtang Pharmacy and had already returned, Di Yan had a stubborn temper and was devoted to monitoring Jishengtang Pharmacy and refused to go back to the inn to rest.

From this room, you can clearly see the atrium of the medicine shop. The courtyard is currently deserted and there is no one to see.

The reason why Di Yan was persistent was because she had just accidentally seen a man wearing a sword walking through the courtyard, followed by several family members in black. Although it was possible that the patients' families were in the family, and the young people in the Tang Dynasty basically had swords, they could not see anything abnormal.

But with the unique intuition of women, Di Yan felt that the young man did not look for a doctor, but was looking for someone. Soon after, the county magistrate Pei Shunqing also walked into the medicine shop and walked in the direction where the young man had just entered, which made her even more suspicious.

At this time, she found that the young man had just come out of the inner courtyard, and several men in black followed him, walking towards the outer courtyard with agility. Soon, the county magistrate Pei Shunqing also came out, and Di Yan's heart began to pound. She was already sure that the young man came to find Pei Shunqing, they met at the pharmacy, and then left separately. There must be something wrong with the pharmacy.

Di Yan became anxious. She stopped monitoring the pharmacy shop, turned around and left the room, quickly walked downstairs. At this time, someone behind her smiled and said, "Is the girl going out? It's not safe to be alone?"

Di Yan thought she was a friend, and she was about to scold her, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Li Zhen standing behind her, "What are you doing here?" Di Yan asked in surprise.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "You haven't had dinner yet, I'll ask you to sit in the next tavern."

"Now is not the time to drink, come with me."

Di Yan took Li Zhen back to the room. She pointed to the medicine shop outside the window and said, "Just just now, I found a young man with a sword secretly met with the county magistrate here. I could see that the young man had good martial arts skills."

"Oh? Are they still in the drugstore?"

"It's gone, if you come one step late, you should be able to meet them in front of the gate."

Di Yan was very calm at this time. She stared at Li Zhen for a moment and asked again: "Don't you want to take some measures?"

"If you're referring to the measures to arrest people in the drugstore, I don't think it's necessary."

"you--"

Li Zhen interrupted her, "This pharmacy is originally the property of Pei County Weiwei. I think it is normal for him to appear in this pharmacy. As for that young man, maybe he came to the pharmacy to find Pei County Weiwei, but why do you think he has bad intentions and will be detrimental to King Luling?"

"You go"

Di Yan replied coldly, "I think our ideas are completely different. You don't need to stay here. I will solve the problem by myself if you want to eat."

Li Zhen looked at her silently for a moment, "I just hope you don't act rashly and don't disrupt my plan."

"Planning What plans do you have?"

Li Zhen smiled, "I can't tell you now--"

"go out"

Di Yan suddenly became angry and pushed Li Zhen out of the door, and closed the door with a loud bang.

Di Yan's chest was so angry that her chest was fluctuating violently. This damn guy actually had any plans to hide it from him. "I don't want to listen to your plan. What's your plan to do with me?"

When Di Yan heard that there seemed to be no movement outside, she suddenly opened the door again, and Li Zhen was no longer at the door.

"You - don't want me to help you again." Di Yan stomped her feet hard with grievance, and tears were almost flowing out.

Li Zhen returned to the inn and found the guard Han Zhiqi, "Captain Han, I want to discuss with you the guard arrangements for tonight."

Han Zhiqi was very alert to Li Zhen. Since he discovered that Princess Wei trusted Li Zhen very much, he had been uncomfortable with Li Zhen. He was very worried that Li Zhen would take away his power and status.

"General Li is only responsible for the periphery patrols. I will arrange the prince and the princess' guards myself. If you don't have to worry about it, Commander Li will not worry about it."

"Is that so? But I want to remind you that Xiangcheng County is located on a major transportation road. There are many people from unknown origins in the city. You should be careful."

"I will be careful. Commander Li should think carefully about how to arrange his subordinates."

Han Zhiqi said coldly, then turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Li Zhen looked at his back and walked away, then smiled faintly and returned to his yard.

The entire inn is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is composed of three courtyards, mainly for guests to live in. It is gorgeously arranged and has a very comfortable living environment. Behind the inner courtyard is a small garden, and a pond covering an area of ​​two or three acres, full of lotus flowers.

Li Xian and his wife and their eldest son Li Chongrun lived in the inner courtyard, and twenty guards protected the main courtyard where they lived.

There is a wall between the inner and outer courtyards, and Li Zhen led the inner guards to live in the outer courtyard, responsible for protecting Li Xian's safety on the periphery. With two guards, Li Xian and his wife can basically rest assured.

At the third o'clock in the morning, the county town was covered with black paint, the lights had already been gone, almost everyone fell asleep, the inn was very quiet, and no abnormalities occurred, but around the inn, there were dark shadows patrolling back and forth, and the inner guards who were responsible for the periphery were patrolling the outside.

Li Zhen divided the thirty warriors into two teams and took turns to serve in the middle of the night. Li Zhen himself also patrolled around the inn. The moonlight was pretty good tonight, and the moonlight was bright, but there were large dark clouds in the sky at the same time, causing a full moon to pass through the dark clouds from time to time, and the earth was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

"What are the commander looking at?" Zhao Qiuniang walked over and asked with a smile.

"I'm looking at the city wall"

Li Zhen looked at the city wall not far away, and the south side of the station was close to the city wall, and even the city wall became part of the station. "If someone sneaked into the inn from the city wall, he could directly threaten the inner courtyard."

Zhao Qiuniang stared at the city wall for a moment and said, "There are soldiers patrols on the city wall, which is not so easy to go up. Actually, I am more worried about the backyard. If I were an assassin, I would choose to enter the inner courtyard from behind, just a small garden."

"What is outside the backyard wall?" Li Zhen asked.

"It's a house. I've sent my men to check it out. There's no problem at the moment."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qiuniang asked in a low voice: "Have you little sister not come back yet?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "She may be angry."

"Master, do you think there will be an assassin tonight?"

"I don't know either, but if someone wants to attack King Luling, tonight will be the last chance. We may leave Luyang Pass tomorrow. If there are military guards, they will have no chance."

“Since tonight is so important, isn’t it wise for us to only use half of the people to patrol?”

Li Zhen smiled faintly and said, "Han Zhiqi and the others are there, what are you worried about?"

Zhao Qiuniang suddenly understood Li Zhen’s meaning, and she whispered for a while: “But… the risk of Luling King is too great.”

"He won't have any risks"

Li Zhen didn't want to continue talking anymore, so he smiled and said, "I'll go to the inn to see if Ms. Di has gained anything."

He turned around and walked quickly towards the inn hundreds of steps away. Zhao Qiuniang quickly ordered her two subordinates to "follow the commander"

Two inner guard warriors chased Li Zhen who had already walked away and followed him from afar. Zhao Qiuniang sighed softly. She had already fully understood Li Zhen's intentions. Although wealth and honor were in danger, this was a little too risky.

Li Zhen soon came to the outside of the room where Di Yan lived in Shifang Inn. He listened for a while, there seemed to be no movement inside. He knocked on the door lightly, but there was still no movement in the room. Li Zhen suddenly became a little worried. He pulled out an extremely sharp dagger, reached into the crack of the door and cut it hard, and the door bolt was cut off.

He drew out his sword and slowly pushed open the door. There was no light in the room, only half-light and half-dark moonlight penetrated, making the room hazy. Di Yan sat leaning against the wall, his head lowered, and the sword in his hand had already loosened on the floor.

Li Zhen was shocked and quickly walked up quickly, but saw Di Yan just asleep. Li Zhen breathed a light sigh, took the bedding from the bed, and carefully covered her. At this time, Di Yan moved her body and woke up, "When is it now?" She asked in a low voice sleepy voice.

"It's already the third update. You can go to bed and sleep like this and catch a cold."

Di Yan was about to stand up, but her legs fell numb. Li Zhen quickly supported her and helped her stand up. Di Yan felt a headache and looked back at the pharmacy. The pharmacy was already dark. She suddenly felt annoyed. Something must have happened, but she missed it while asleep.

Li Zhen's meticulous care made the little anger in Di Yan's heart disappear. She pinched her painful forehead and asked a little embarrassedly: "How is the place in the inn?"

"It's still calm at the moment, but I don't know if I can keep calm."

Di Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at Li Zhen and smiled: "Do you also admit that someone will make a mistake?"

"I just doubted, but there was no evidence, but I also strengthened the guards on the inn. I was worried about what would happen at the end of the night, so I'll get you back."

"Let's go quickly"
