"……All right."

When Master Ban mentioned this, Shao Yu couldn't help but recognize the situation. He nodded and accepted his arrangement, turned around and left.

As soon as he left Master Ban, Shao Yu bumped into Shi Lan who came to see him.

"Shaoyu, I plan to go to the city to get some information."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Shao Yu raised his legs to go with Shi Lan.

Shi Lan did not move, but asked first, "Do you want to go to the mirage today?"

Shao Yu shook his head, "I won't go for the time being. Master Ban told me to stay out of the limelight and wait two days before going."

"Hmm... that's fine, then I can just go to the city by myself." Hearing this, Shi Lan rejected Shao Yu's companions.

Shaoyu asked in confusion, "Why? It's safer for two people to be together!"

Shi Lan explained, "I went to the city to try to gather information through some previously opened channels. I won't do anything dangerous, and there's no point in following you."

"Then... I'll keep an eye on the port, and you can just do your thing." Shao Yu did not delve into Shi Lan's intelligence channels, and flexibly changed his target.

Shi Lan shook his head and objected, "The probability that the Yin Yang family will disembark Tian Ming from the ship and hide it is almost zero. There is a high probability that they will not disembark. There is no point in watching the port. Why don't you stay."

"Don't you still need to deal with your family's affairs?"

"Uncle Liang and Master Fan are keeping an eye on the family affairs. It's not like I can't do it without me." Shao Yu shrugged and replied, "Now that something has happened in Tianming, I must keep an eye on him first."

"So I'd better go with you and see if we can get some valuable information through the channels of our Xiang clan."

In terms of intelligence channels, the Xiang family definitely has much more information than Shi Lan, and they have interests in dealings with many local officials.

Local forces - including civil society and government forces, colluding with rebels are basically the norm in areas outside Guanzhong - far away from the central court, the effectiveness of imperial laws will inevitably weaken, and it is normal for them to break the law and break the law.

Or it was to gain more profits, or they had no choice but to survive, or some other reason... In short, there were thousands of reasons, but there were not many reasons for them to swear allegiance to the emperor.

Songhai's officials actually changed more than once due to events such as the assassination of Ying Zheng. However, among the newly appointed officials, most of them were born locally and had long been connected with the anti-Qin forces, and those transferred from other places quickly joined in. They were previously

That's what it does.

The world is so big, it is impossible for Yingzheng to send all the reliable officials of the central court to local places. If there are not enough, it is meaningless.

Therefore, the Xiang family always has enough insiders in the city. It is unrealistic to expect them to do anything practical, but there is still hope for collecting information.

"That's okay." Shi Lan no longer refused after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.

………………

After Shao Yu and Shi Lan sneaked into the city with ease, they temporarily parted ways and went their separate ways.

Shi Lan walked around the city several times, and after confirming that no one was following her, she quietly walked toward the general's mansion.

Currently, there is only one important person in the General's Mansion, Gu Xun, and there is almost no defense. With Gu Xun's status, the defense should be strengthened, but he happens to be a type of person who is not needed.

Shi Lan easily got into the empty-defense general's mansion, but she didn't know her target, which was the exact location of Gu Xun, so she could only find it bit by bit.

After walking around for a long time, I still couldn't find anyone, but a voice suddenly rang in my ears.

"Two hundred steps forward, turn left and there is the third door on the right."

The sudden voice made Shi Lan's heart beat faster for a moment, but after realizing who the voice was, she calmed down in an instant.

She obediently walked over as the voice told her and found the independent courtyard where Gu Xun lived.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't go through the main entrance and jumped over the wall with a neat somersault.
