Chapter 1623
A snow-white carrier pigeon fell from the sky and flew into her hands with its wings.
Xiao Lingyue touched the feathers of the pigeon and stuffed the wax balls that had been sealed into the bamboo tube on its legs.
"Send it to your master."
"Gugu!" The pigeon screamed twice, tilted its head, looked at her with black eyes, spread its wings and flew towards the night sky.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the empty courtyard and said, "Don't stop my carrier pigeon, I will tell Zhan Beihan myself."
""The yard is quiet.
No one responded.
Xiao Lingyue didn't care, and after saying that, she walked back with her clothes.
The door creaked and closed.
Hidden in the shadows, several secret guards responsible for secretly guarding each other looked at each other when they saw this.
"What should I do? Do I need to stop me?"
"According to the rules, no matter whether the pigeons that are not in the royal palace come and go, they must be intercepted and reported to the prince for processing."
"But, County Lord Anping said so. If we stop the pigeon in advance, the county lord wouldn't be angry, right?"
"Why don't we stop him secretly and let him fly after he has reported to the prince?"
"Good idea, who will stop it?"
A few secret guards, look at me, I'll look at you.
I was embarrassed and silent.
At this time, a clever secret guard made a quick decision and jumped off the tree.
"I'll report to the prince, and I'll leave the pigeon to you!"
Others:!!!
treacherous!
A quarter of an hour later.
Zhan Beihan, who was busy in the study, received the news and frowned and raised his head: "She put out a carrier pigeon? What did she write?"
"I don't know, but the pigeon has been secretly stopped. My pigeon has found this on the pigeon's legs."
The secret guard stepped forward respectfully and presented the wax balls in his hand to Zhan Beihan.
Zhan Beihan put down his pen and picked it up and took a look.
White wax pills are the simplest and most common sealing method, and are hollow inside and can be used to convey messages.
The benefits are concealment, lightweight and convenient.
The disadvantage is that once the wax ball is crushed and the content inside is removed, it cannot be restored.
It can also play a certain protective role.
Zhan Beihan clearly saw a note sealed in the wax ball, but he couldn't see what was written on the note.
He played with it for a few unexplained times and asked, "Where is this sent?"
"The county lord didn't say anything, and his subordinates didn't know."
The secret guard said again: "However, after the county lord released the carrier pigeon, he said something specifically, "No need to intercept it, she will explain to the prince himself."
Zhan Beihan paused his finger: "Did she see you?"
The secret guard said carefully: "It shouldn't be, but the county lord must have known that there are secret guards nearby, and they said they were standing in the courtyard."
"Since that's the case, do what she said."
Zhan Beihan threw the wax balls to the secret guards and ordered: "Let the carrier pigeon fly back, send someone to follow him, if he flew out of the capital, there is no need to follow him again, come back and report it to me."
"yes."
The secret guard responded respectfully and exited the study.
Zhan Beihan continued to focus on handling official duties.
Two more hours passed, and the sky outside the window gradually became brighter.
The secret guard came to report again, knelt down on one knee and bowed, "As the prince expected, the pigeon did not leave the city, but flew towards the west of the city and disappeared in the backyard of an inn. The subordinates did not dare to alert the snake, so they came back to report to the prince.
.”
Zhan Beihan asked, "What are the characteristics of that inn?"
"The appearance is ordinary and there is no difference from an ordinary inn. There is a lantern hanging at the door, and there are strange patterns on it."
The secret guard took out a square cloth from his arms, stood up and put it on it, and said respectfully: "I have drawn the pattern as it is. Please check it out."
Zhan Beihan took it over and took a look, narrowing his narrow eyes slightly.
"You go down."
