Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 520 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

A piece of armor in exchange for a chance for them to escape is a good deal.

However, it was a dark night and the city gates were closed, so they could only run away temporarily or hide. A quarter of an hour was neither long nor short. If these people in the martial arts world were really capable, they would not be able to escape.

"Little girl, didn't you say before that you wouldn't interfere?"

Although the man in blue was afraid of her, he was still unhappy and couldn't help but say something. However, he changed his way of addressing her and no longer called her a stinky girl.

At this time, the rich kid had already disappeared, and they still didn't dare to chase him.

Si He looked at the man in blue and said, "Since your attitude is bad, I changed my mind. But didn't you hold back just now? If you can't catch her even with this, then you are incompetent."

Just now, when they were talking with the rich young man, they had unnoticeably thrown something on the other party's horse, something like powder, probably for tracking.

Although their movements were not obvious, anyone who paid attention to their actions or had good eyesight would have seen them.

When they saw Si He reveal this, their expressions changed. The man looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "You are so good at seeing things and using other people's tools to kill people."

Si He smiled faintly and said nothing, as if she agreed with what he said.

Indeed, she had no intention of letting those people go, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future, but at least they had taken their things, so she gave them a chance and saw if they could escape.

And now these gangsters are like good knives. Letting them continue to chase and kill will not dirty her hands.

The man asked again: "Where are you from, girl?"

Si He looked at him meaningfully, her eyes revealing some murderous intent. She said, "I don't think you want to know."

The man's expression suddenly became more complicated. Well, if he knew too much, he might not be able to leave.

Time passed little by little, and a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. They immediately mounted their horses and chased in the direction where those people had fled.

Si He watched them disappear into the dark night, then dismounted and walked towards the inn, followed closely by Gao You and others.

When the onlookers in the inn saw this, they all made way but remained silent. They were very wary of her and at the same time very curious about who this woman disguised as a man was.

She checked into the inn smoothly, and the owner gave her a big discount, charging only half the price. It was obvious that he was scared by her previous behavior.

In fact, she also wanted to keep a low profile, but the situation did not allow it.

After entering the guest room, she carefully looked at the scale armor again with a complicated look in her eyes. She thought about sending someone into the city tomorrow to check on Yue Fuli's situation. If there was nothing else, she wanted to go to Kyoto.

She wanted to see what else the descendants of the Jiang family would sell.

……

The next day, she sent someone into the city early in the morning and delivered the scale armor vest to Yue Fuli. This was a good thing after all, with strong defense. He was in danger all over the place, so it would be good to have one more thing to protect himself.

She waited for news in the inn and did not enter the city. After all, the gate of Changping City was strictly checked, and her disguise could be easily seen through.

An hour later, the guard came back and successfully delivered the scale armor. He also brought back some news that Yue Fuli had encountered some minor troubles, but it was not a big problem.

The so-called trouble was that the position of the crown prince did not fall to him so smoothly. It also involved some exchange of interests. The King of Eastern Han intended to ask him to return the three cities originally belonging to Yue Zidan.

After all, all the cities in Jizhou have been divided up by the Yue family. If Yue Zidan loses those three cities, he will really have no real power at all. He can only fight outside with the few remaining people. It will be extremely difficult and there is little hope.

In addition, he also wanted Yue Fuli to give two cities in Zhongzhou to Yue Hejiang. This could be considered as compensation to Yue Hejiang. After all, Yue Hejiang was the eldest son, and logically speaking, he was the rightful candidate for the crown prince.

Only in this way can Yue Fuli be made the crown prince.

For this reason, Yue Fuli was naturally unwilling to do so. The empty title of a prince was not worth exchanging for five cities.

If five cities were handed over at once, not only would his strength be greatly reduced, but even the three cities in Zhongzhou would be difficult to defend. After all, that area was connected. After handing it over, it would be completely separated from the Wucheng area. At that time, the three cities would still fall into Yue Hejiang's hands. This would be equivalent to giving Yue Hejiang five cities. Then he would have worked in vain, losing eight cities and only getting the title of a prince.

This title seems glorious, but it is actually very empty. The establishment or abolition depends on the decision of the King of Eastern Han. If he can be established today, he can find an excuse to abolish him tomorrow. It is far less important than strength.

What the King of Eastern Han wanted was control and balance. Yue Fuli grew too fast and too big, breaking the balance and almost beyond his control, so he naturally had to intervene.

Now, Yue Fuli is in the Yue family, dealing with them. Although it is a bit troublesome, he cannot be forced into this matter, because the situation is different now. The eleven cities under his name are firmly under his control. If something happens to him, it will easily cause chaos.

After all, this is the territory of the Yue family. The King of Eastern Han does not want to let outsiders take advantage of this matter because it is not handled properly. Now the border is in chaos and all parties are eyeing it covetously. At this critical juncture, there can be no chaos.

Especially the Yuehejiang garrison, because most of the personnel have been withdrawn for more than a month, other forces there have begun to make unusual movements.

Now Yue Hejiang had only been back to the Yue family for a few days, but he hurriedly mobilized people and rushed to the base.

After Si He learned the news, she was not too worried about him. After all, there was no danger involved, it just required some brainpower to deal with others.

In this case, she felt at ease to go to Kyoto, and the round trip should not take too much time.

After making the decision, she asked someone to leave a message for Yue Fuli, and then she took her men and rode to Kyoto.

Fortunately, the weather was good these two days, not overcast, which made it convenient for her to travel.

We traveled day and night and had a smooth journey. Two days later, we finally arrived in Kyoto.

After arriving in Kyoto, Si He clearly felt the prosperity here. Even though the Great Yan Kingdom is now in turmoil, as the imperial capital, the surface of peace and prosperity is still maintained quite well.

This place is like a luxurious and magnificent building. It looks shocking, but in fact the foundation has been riddled with holes and is shaky. It will collapse soon.

Because they were going into the city, the inspection would be stricter, and it would definitely not be allowed for a woman to dress as a man, so Si He changed into women's clothes, but she still changed her makeup a little, and she looked completely different from usual.
