At this moment, Kong Yingda was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
He really didn't know that this thing would come so easily. What was this?
This, this was his chance to turn the tables!
At this moment, he even imagined the Emperor's furious expression when he saw all this, and the things hidden behind those dukes. As long as this thing came out, wouldn't the Emperor not think of it?
Currently. While his imagination was running wild, the old village chief had already mysteriously taken out an oiled paper bag the size of a bowl from under the bed.
After carefully opening it, a pungent smell wafted out, causing Kong Yingda's expression to change. Seeing this, the old village chief chuckled and said, "Kong Gong, there is no need to panic. Although this thing smells bad and pungent, it really isn't poisonous!"
Hearing this, Kong Yingda carefully approached. After looking at the snow-like thing, he was even more certain of his thoughts. However, he still asked again, "Old Man Sun, this is a serious matter. Don't lie to me!"
The old village chief's face stiffened and was about to swear again. However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was the worker who brought in the food.
The old village chief hurriedly wrapped the oiled paper bag and handed it to Kong Yingda to open the door.
At this moment, Kong Yingda had obtained the evidence.
How could he be in the mood to stay?
He hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Old Man Sun, it's getting late. Old Man Sun still has to go back to teach the students. I will consider your matter carefully. After all, although the Old Man has been admiring the mountain for a long time, I still have to trouble you to deal with him for me! After all, I'm already so old … "
Hearing this, the old village chief was overjoyed and said, "You're too kind. Why don't you come up the mountain with me now? It won't take long! Moreover, Feng Zi likes to make friends … "
"That won't be necessary. I really have something to do. Farewell!"
Without waiting for the old village chief to finish speaking, Kong Yingda had already hurriedly walked out of the door.
When the old village chief came back to his senses, Kong Yingda had already disappeared from the door.
The old village chief looked at the table full of dishes and hurriedly shouted, "Kong Gong, please eat before you leave!"
"…"
Meanwhile.
Yuchi Gong had personally led his men to search through Mount Xiao Market, as well as the surrounding areas. However, they still hadn't found a single trace of Kong Yingda.
At this moment, Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin were standing at the entrance of White Deer College in a daze.
"I say, Old Yu, do you think this old man went up the mountain?" Cheng Yaojin said with some uncertainty.
After all, Zhang Feng had not been alerted to the current situation.
If Kong Yingda were to find out about this, it would be troublesome if Kong Yingda were to expose their identities in a moment of desperation.
Therefore, since last night, starting from Chang 'an City, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Wuji had carried out a carpet search. They basically plowed the grass within ten miles from the city gate to any place, but they still couldn't find a single clue.
Until now, the three thousand elite soldiers didn't even blink their eyes.
Moreover, they had just found out from the guards that an old man had brought the Imperial College's document up the mountain last night!
As a doctor from the Imperial College, Kong Yingda was naturally capable of this. Moreover, the seal of the document was on him!
Did this mean that Kong Yingda had already gone up the mountain last night while they were searching the perimeter?
Most importantly, no one had expected Kong Yingda to be so fast last night. Moreover, he had sent a message back to the palace from Chang 'an, and then the emperor had ordered …
After all this trouble.
The guards here changed shifts every six hours. This meant that when Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Wuji arrived, the guards had already changed shifts. Kong Yingda had also been let in by the guards who had changed shifts last night.
However, it was only until just now, when the guards blocked the door again, that they realized …
At this moment, the two of them looked at the mountain gate hesitantly.
In order to alert the enemy, they had checked everything except the paper mill.
"Report!"
At this moment, a scout hurried over.
"Replying to the two sirs, last night when the inn in the market was about to close for the night, there was indeed an old man who checked in. Although he looked shabby, he was extremely generous and asked for a good room. Today, the old man left before dawn. Even his mule is still in the hands of the innkeeper!"
"Oh?"
When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised.
They looked in the direction of the paper mill and the mountain again.
At this moment, only these two places had yet to be checked.
Yuchi Gong asked uncertainly, "Old Hei, why don't I go up the mountain and you make a trip to the paper mill?"
Cheng Yaojin's head and waist were like a rattle drum when he heard this.
"I'm not going. It's not like you don't know that the old village chief is a coward. Every time we go there, he takes half a day to let us in. Usually, he won't even let an outsider in. Do you think he will let Kong Yingda in?"
Thinking of this, Yuchi Gong felt that it made sense.
At this moment, Kong Yingda's motive for going up the mountain was very clear. He was definitely going up the mountain to find something and definitely not to sightsee. Besides, although the paper mill was magical, it was only related to the papermaking technique. What else did the paper mill have?
Other than paper, it was paper. Why would Kong Yingda come here?
It was impossible just thinking about it.
Finally, the two of them gritted their teeth and said at the same time, "Then shall we go up the mountain?"
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and waved his hand. "Surround the entire academy. We will go up the mountain to take a look!"
