Chapter 163: Choice

When Xuan Yu Feng and Yi Shan heard this, they were very surprised: "What is missing?"

"Think about it, didn't we see it when we went out of the city and passed by that grove?" Xuan Yu Feng Shi then said, "I remember that the grove is very difficult to walk, we are one foot deep and one foot shallow, if it weren't for Ah Xi's support, we don't know how long it will take!

"Auntie, it's impossible!" Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "I packed up my things in the Thorn Mansion before, and after picking the items to take away, because I didn't know how to pack, I originally wanted to call them to the barricades, and then Mi Zhen said that he would, so he helped me get them myself." When I untied the package, I found that it was very secure, and the contents would never fall out!"

"It's troublesome now!" Xuan Yu Feng and Yi Shan both frowned, "Ah Xi and Yi Shan will definitely not touch your things, and I didn't take it, so ...... Who took it?"

Xuan Yu Feng said so, but in fact, it was already determined that it was the soldier's doing.

After all, they came out along the way, and there were only a few people who handled it, Gongsun Xi and Yi Shan, as confidants, usually had a lot of opportunities to be rewarded, and they couldn't take this opportunity to attack the hostess's package.

However, at this time, the soldiers guarding the surroundings, even if they are from the Northern Frontier Army, which is the best in the country, is still far behind the competent subordinates of the nobles. Perhaps when they left the carriage, they quietly entered the carriage and turned over the package, unable to resist the temptation of the gold, silver and jewels inside, and took the sheep with them.

What she was embarrassed about was not to find out this person, but that they still needed Lu Shiyu's escort at this time, if it was revealed that Lu Shiyu's subordinates stole Sheng Weiqiao's things, it would inevitably be embarrassing, and who knows if there will be any "accidents" on the next road?

But if that's it, she knows that Sheng Weiqiao has grown up rich and wealthy since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by her parents, so she has the most no concept of money.

Leaving Yizhou City in such a hurry this time, how many gold, silver, jewelry, brocade clothes and jade food were left in the Thorn Shi Mansion and not cleaned up, and the things brought here must be of great significance and cannot be judged by their own value.

If you don't have one piece like this, how can you not feel uncomfortable?

Moreover, it has only been a few days since they set off, and they have begun to lose things, and the next road is long, if they don't say it this time, it will make the thieves emboldened, and then they will not arrive in Chang'an empty-handed?

was thinking a lot, but I heard Sheng Weiqiao say: "Auntie, no, this thing shouldn't be taken by the soldiers." ”

"Because it's worthless!" she explained.

Xuan Yu Feng was about to say, "What you think is worthless may not really be worthless", not that she looked down on this niece's eyesight, but that she knew that Sheng Weiqiao's judgment of worthlessness in her eyes may not be the same as ordinary people.

"What I lost was just a porcelain hairpin, which is the kind that can be bought for more than a dozen dollars on the market, and ordinary girls can buy it casually and wear it to play. However, Sheng Weiqiao said, "The imperial court has always favored the Northern Xinjiang Army, these are still cavalry, and the treatment has always been the best, how many people will be so poor that they have to steal such a hairpin?

"Then how could there be no one?" Xuan Yu Feng heard that it was only a porcelain hairpin of more than ten yuan, and he also let go of his suspicion of the soldiers, but he was puzzled, "And where did you get such a porcelain hairpin, and you are still reluctant to leave it as if you were a baby?"

Sheng Weiqiao's face was gloomy for a moment: "This porcelain hairpin was given by my eldest aunt's family to Nanfeng County to celebrate my grandfather's birthday a few years ago, the year Mizhen entered the Sheng Mansion. When he went out, he bought two, one for my cousin Little Joe, and one for me, and said at that time that it was not worth much, but he thought it was suitable for our little girls to wear and play...... I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and later ......"

She didn't continue, but Xuan Yu Feng already understood, so she comforted: "Jiren has her own natural appearance, your cousin Xiao Qiao doesn't look like Fubo, maybe she is doing well now, but she doesn't want to be disturbed?"

Then he said, "Then it may be like this: you see this porcelain hairpin and think about it, and see it very different, but the people who don't know it must think that we left Yizhou City like this this time, and we might be taking up space with such an object!

“…… Maybe, right?" Sheng Weiqiao pondered for a while and said, "It's just that I didn't pay much attention at the time." ”

She said this, but she was suspicious in her heart. Because I don't remember if I told my husband about this porcelain hairpin before, I secretly muttered to myself at this moment: Mizhen him, did he take out the porcelain hairpin without knowing it? Or did he deliberately take the porcelain hairpin quietly?

If it's the former, it's okay, Sheng Weiqiao will definitely not be able to go back to Yizhou City to find the hairpin at this time, and he can only regret it; if it's the latter...... Sheng Weiqiao's heart jumped "thump": Could it be that Rong Sleeping Crane already has Shen Jiuniang's whereabouts?

Otherwise, what is he doing with that porcelain hairpin?!

"But wait!" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly thought of something, "He knew early on that I was very concerned about Xiao Qiao's whereabouts, if he knew Xiao Qiao's whereabouts, why didn't he tell me, but secretly took the porcelain hairpin?!"

"And the western frontier is about to come in a storm!"

"As the assassin of Yizhou, he can't be busy with serious affairs at this time, where can he send someone to find Xiao Qiao?"

"Or ......"

"Xiao Qiao's current situation is related to this big event?!"

Sheng Weiqiao's mind was racing, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Rong Sleeping Crane was afraid that it was deliberate, "Even if I didn't tell him about the porcelain hairpin, at that time, packing the luggage, the less valuable things were selected, wouldn't it show more and more that it was meaningful?

"What's more, a porcelain hairpin can't take up any space, let alone the weight! Even if he thinks that I may have taken it by mistake, as for taking it out without saying a word?!"

"It's just...... If I guessed correctly, little Joe, she ...... How can it be related to the current situation?!"

In the past, Rong Mianhe had speculated with her that Shen Jiuniang might have been secretly sent to Northern Xinjiang by the Shen family to change her identity and start over.

But the people he sent to Northern Xinjiang did not find any trace of Shen Jiuniang in Northern Xinjiang.

"Could it be that Mizhen's person has been found recently?" Sheng Weiqiao bit his lip and thought quickly, "It's just that even if I found it recently...... If Xiao Qiao just got married and lived in Northern Xinjiang, it would have nothing to do with Western Xinjiang at this time!"

She was puzzled for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but turn pale!

"What are you thinking about, so thoughtful?" Xuan Yu Feng couldn't help but wonder when he saw that she was silent for a long time, "It's not that you want to go back and make trouble with Mi Zhen over this matter, right?"

"No!" Sheng Weiqiao smiled reluctantly and said, "I just remembered what happened to Xiao Qiao before." ”

Xuan Yu Feng looked at her suspiciously for a while before saying, "It's all over, don't be too sad." What's more, we are in danger now, and it is really not the time to reminisce about the past. ”

As he was saying this, he heard Lu Shiyu's voice coming from outside, saying that he had found a nearby road, and asked Sheng Weiqiao if it was convenient for him to come in at this moment and tell him in detail.

The aunts and nephews hurriedly sorted out each other's appearances, and Sheng Weiqiao said, "General, please come in!"

Lu Shiyu came in with his head down, bowed down, sat down, and said: "A soldier visited a wealthy family nearby, which is a model of rich and unkind, and it is rumored that it is a family that sells illicit salt, and because of the harsh treatment of the clansmen, he was quietly informed. After the soldier got the news, he came back to report that Vice Admiral Cheng had personally led people to 'visit the door', and had just sent the news back, saying that the family had indeed confessed a secret path, which was not too far from here, and there was no need to go far to Yanbodu. It's just that the road is so narrow that it can barely be passed by mules and horses, and the carriages can't pass through it anyway. ”

"It's nothing, and I can still hold it now, so I left the carriage and let us ride together. When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he said happily, and looked at Yishan again, "Yishan, can you ride a horse?" If not, I will take turns with my aunt to take you when I turn around." ”

Yi Shan hurriedly said: "Xie Niangniang is compassionate, the slave and maid will." ”

"Wait!" Seeing that Lu Shiyu was about to retire after receiving this answer, Xuan Yu Feng raised his eyebrows and interjected, "The secret path that the person said, there is no problem, right?"

Lu Shiyu said: "Old lady, please rest assured! We haven't walked that road, how can we just listen to what people say? We must invite the whole family to accompany us." ”

In fact, he not only planned to kidnap the whole family, but even the villagers of the rich family's village would not let go, and it was necessary to kill him.

Otherwise, even if there is no problem with the road given by that family, in case someone among those villagers happens to know the road, wouldn't it be to keep them to show the way to the pursuers!

However, considering that Sheng Weiqiao and Xuanyu Feng are both wealthy women's families, this kind of killing, Sheng Weiqiao doesn't ask, he naturally won't take the initiative to mention it.

"There are people in this world who are not afraid of death, and there are really not many people who don't care about the old and young in the family. When Xuan Yu Feng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile, "The general really has a heart!"

However, she followed the conversation, "It's just that when I was a child, I listened to my mother's father teach my brother, and I once said some things, but I remembered them in my heart." It is...... Is the rich family's family really his family?"

"After all, the narrow valley is blocked, and it is impossible to clean it up, so it's normal for people to look for some kind of path nearby, right?"

So, what if the people who blocked the narrow valley with their hands specially prepared such a rich family of "smuggler salt dealers" to make a fortune waiting for them?

When Lu Shiyu heard this, he was immediately awe-struck, and Chao Xuanyu Feng hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "The old lady is as careful as a hair, and the last general will be taught!"

immediately instructed the guards at the door, "Send someone to tell Vice General Cheng that the rich family will recognize their relatives with blood!"

After a while, the guards came back with a heavy expression and told the bad news: "General, the rich family is really a patchwork, and there is no blood relationship between them at all! The people in the village have confessed, saying that some time ago, someone came to kidnap all the families in the village and took hostages, and those who are not good at threatening with hostages will all be killed! So let them work together to trap us! Originally, what they planned to take us away was a Jedi, but after entering, we will not be able to get out if we do a little tricking outside!"

"What about the real secret path?" Lu Shiyu hurriedly asked.

"The Real Secret Path...... The group that had taken the hostages had been ruined!" The guard said hatefully, "After Vice General Cheng verified that the rich family had no blood relationship with each other, he killed more than a dozen people on the spot, and two young people couldn't help but be scared, and said everything, and took Vice General Cheng to the real secret path to see, it was a plank road quietly built on a steep mountain path, very narrow, but it was indeed as the rich man said, mules and horses can pass!"

"But at this moment, the iron cable connecting the plank road has been cut, and it will not be possible to get it up in a short time!"

The people in the tent suddenly turned pale!

After a while, Lu Shiyu took a deep breath, and suddenly turned his head to Sheng Weiqiao and Xuan Yu Feng: "Two, in this situation, the other party is determined to force us to take a detour to Yanbodu! Although I don't know what kind of heaven and earth net the other party has prepared in Yanbodu, but there is no other choice at the moment, I don't know what the two of you think?"

Sheng Weiqiao's face sank like water, and said: "Don't take care of us! Although we can't fight the enemy as bravely as you are, we will definitely not hold you back too much!"

She wants to see what kind of tricks can be played in Yanbodu by relying on the soldiers and horses under his hands who were disabled by Rong Sleeping Crane, and at most a few parts of the Western Xinjiang Army quietly given by Ni Jidao!
