Situ Yang returned all the way, but at the end of the day, there was still no major breakthrough.

As a tutor in the palace, his status seems to be noble, but his status is only higher than those of the guards, and he still cannot speak in front of Nangongshan.

Therefore, he was eager to make meritorious deeds and wanted to gain a firm foothold in Prince Qi's palace so that he could at least express his opinions on some matters.

It is about ten miles from the northwest of the imperial city back to Prince Qi's Mansion, passing through a busy city.

While he was on his way, a "whoosh" sound broke through the air, and an unknown object shot towards him.

Situ Yang retreated and dodged subconsciously.

who?

He immediately looked in the direction where the object came from, and found that people were coming and going, and he couldn't tell whose hand it was.

Looking down, Situ Yang found that the "hidden weapon" that attacked him was actually a ball of paper.

He walked over, picked up the ball of paper, spread it out and saw a few words written on it.

After reading the above content, Situ Yang's face was a little complicated, including joy, confusion, and some shock. Holding the paper ball in his hand, he ran towards the mass grave outside the city without stopping.

Li Feibai was sitting opposite Nangong Shan, and the two were chatting in low voices. The former sometimes dipped his fingertips in water and made gestures on the table, while the latter sometimes nodded heavily.

"Reporting to your lord, Situ Yang is outside asking for an audience." A servant came to report.

In Prince Qi's Mansion, there are only three people who can directly meet Prince Qi without reporting. These three people are Li Feibai, Mo Fugui and Lin Tianchong.

"Let him in." Nangongshan sat up straight.

"Your Majesty, the body has been found." Before he could stand still, Situ Yang couldn't wait to speak.

"Oh?" Nangongshan stood up immediately, took a few steps forward, and said excitedly: "Quickly tell me, where is it?"

"In the mass grave outside the city, next to a poplar tree, the body has been buried for many days. However, despite the cold weather, the face is still clearly distinguishable. I can conclude that it is the old beggar."

"Great, Situ Yang, you have done a great job this time." Nangongshan put his hands on his shoulders and said loudly.

With a smile on his face, Li Feibai slowly walked down the steps and asked, "How did you find the body?"

"After my subordinates inquired about Zhang's residence in the northwest of the imperial city, when I was about to return home, I remembered that it was not far from the mass graves, so I suddenly thought in my mind whether they had abandoned the corpses in the mass graves. Anyway, it was close.

I left the city and went there." After Situ Yang said this, he paused.

"But there are so many unnamed graves in the mass graves, and many of them were dug and buried without even coffins and mats. How did you find the old beggar's body?" Li Feibai continued to ask with a smile.

"I thought, if the old beggar's body is really there, it was buried recently, and the color of the earth where he was buried must be new. God has paid off. Finally, I dug up seventy-seven forty-nine

After a new grave, the old beggar's body was found." Situ Yang vividly described the situation at that time.

In fact, the paper ball that attacked Situ Yang on the street was made by Fang Qing. It said: The body is in a mass grave outside the city, next to a poplar tree!

This was naturally instructed by Li Feibai.

If he directly told Nangong Shan the whereabouts of the body, it would be impossible to justify it. He could not directly say that Fang Qing discovered it, so he could only use this method to inform Nangong Shan through Situ Yang.

But in Situ Yang's view, since the other party unknowingly told him the whereabouts of the body by using paper balls, he definitely didn't want others to know. This credit can be taken as his own, and the other party will definitely not expose it.

With a smile on his lips, Li Feibai gave a thumbs up and pointedly said: "Master Situ, what a good idea!"

Situ Yang didn't hear the underlying meaning of his words at all. He lowered his head and smiled: "This subordinate also made a mistake. I'm just a bit more lucky."

Walking to the tea table, Nangong Shan poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Situ Yang: "Teacher, thank you for your hard work. If this plan succeeds, I will promote you to the deputy commander of the palace guard, second only to Lin Tianchong."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Situ Yang knelt down, took the tea handed over by Nangong Shan with both hands, and drank it with his head raised.

After helping him up, Nangongshan continued to ask: "Where is the body now?"

"Without the prince's handwriting, I couldn't bring the body safely into the imperial city, so I buried the body back." Situ Yang said.

"You buried the body back in its original place?" Li Feibai was startled.

"Mr. Bai, is there... a problem with this?" Situ Yang asked tremblingly.

"You have dug the soil again. If someone from the Qingyi Department or the Qian Mansion discovers it, wouldn't it be a failure?"

"This..." Situ Yang was stunned. He secretly hated himself for not thinking of this level.

"Fei Li, what should we do now?" Nangongshan's joy disappeared in an instant.

"For today's plan, the prince can only leave the city in person. The city gate defenders will not dare to inspect your car in detail," Li Feibai said.

"You mean, use my car to bring the body back?" Nangongshan asked.

"That's all."

Nangongshan felt nauseated at the thought of being driven in the same car with the body of an old beggar who had been dead for many days.

"Mr. Bai, although this plan is good, there is a problem. The old beggar has been dead for many days. Although his face can still be distinguished, there is inevitably a putrid smell coming out. If the city gate defenders ask about it, what should they do?" Situ Yang

Realize the problem.

"It's good that you can think of this." Li Feibai smiled slightly and continued: "Use sandalwood. Sandalwood can cover up the rotten smell of the corpse. Just put more in the prince's car."

"Okay, let's set off immediately."

In this way, a group of thirteen people from Prince Qi's Mansion, dressed in armor, headed towards the north gate of Jinglin under the leadership of Lin Tianchong.

Inside and outside the city gate, there are two groups of people lined up. They are preparing to enter and exit the city. At this time, they are being inspected by the city gate defenders.

The chariot arrived soon, and when a city gate guard saw that it was the chariot of King Qi, he immediately came up to greet him.

"I dare to ask, but the King of Qi is here in person?" the guard said to the driver, cupping his hands and clasping his fists.

The curtain was opened, and Nangong Shan poked his head out. Seeing the city gate guard, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be General Cheng Tianli. What, it's your turn to be on duty today?"

"I've met the King of Qi!" Cheng Tianli bowed first, and then replied: "Today I am on duty in a humble position."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Feibai turned his head slightly, looked at Cheng Tianli, and thought to himself: Do these two people know each other?

"My lord, are you leaving the city?" Cheng Tianli glanced at the armored guards behind King Qi.

"Yes, the weather is cold and I feel bored staying in the city. Let's go out hunting and stretch our muscles." Nangongshan replied.

The thirteen guards were all on horseback. Cheng Tianli glanced at them and found that the appearance of the "white tiger" was not deeply imprinted in his mind, so he did not dare to investigate further.
