Chapter 230: Ambush in the North
Mu Zhiyan finally knew what her plan was, so she said that it was a little strange that she suddenly pulled herself to find her grandfather, it turned out that she had already learned about the Qin Mansion, and she asked her grandfather to stand up for her eldest aunt.
"How do you know what happened in the Qin Mansion?"
Mu Zhiyue didn't understand what she meant, and just about to ask, she remembered that the second sister had misunderstood that she had visited the Qin Mansion, so it was okay, but it provided her with an excuse.
"I felt curious when Qin Chi came that day, so I took a picture of people paying attention to the Qin family, only to know that my aunt was bullied by Qin Xingzhi. But I can't tell my grandmother openly, lest she think that my child is too heavy-minded, so I thought of this method, second sister, you won't blame me, right", Mu Zhiyue's eyes were pitiful, like a young swallow begging for food.
Mu Zhiyan's heart softened suddenly, he had long known that the sixth sister was smart, and he was still thinking about her here, but he couldn't let her go too easily, so he only said with a cold face: "Next time, you want to use me to make it clear to me early, so as not to embarrass me in front of my grandfather like today."
Mu Zhiyue immediately stepped forward to hug her arm, and swayed: "Good sister, I was wrong, I will not dare next time."
Mu Zhiyan pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "Next time, I will snatch your Lingyan and make me tea."
Lingyan's skill in making tea is very good, Mu Zhiyan Xiao thinks that she is not once or twice.
Old lady Mu didn't ask Mu Zhiyue again, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still had curiosity about this granddaughter, a child who was not yet nine years old, saw things so thoroughly, and her words to guide her in circles, she actually said that she didn't leak, she really underestimated her.
But there is still some pride, his Mu family's sons are outstanding, and his daughter is by no means idle, this child is much stronger than her father, and she thinks she is like her grandfather.
Two days later, Qin Ye suddenly came to visit Mu's mansion, and he didn't know what to say with Old Lady Mu in his study, and then hurried back to the mansion.
Then Qin Xingzhi also came to Mu Mansion, but Mu Zhen didn't go with him, and he stayed in Old Lady Mu's study for most of the day before leaving in disgrace.
Mu Zhiyue sent someone to investigate, but she heard that Qin Xingzhi had come to ask her grandfather for something.
I can't help but guess, it is very likely that my grandfather felt that it was not enough for the second uncle to beat Qin Xingzhi, and used some other forces to block the path of the third master Qin's career, these things were already secret, and it was impossible to find out.
But she knew that Qin Xingzhi would never dare to mention anything to straighten her aunt in this life.
Secretly admired her grandfather's decisive means of killing, even if she wanted to do it, she would cut off all his thoughts at once, this courage was worth learning from her, and it was no wonder that her grandfather could stand tall in the court for many years.
By the time all this had passed, the north wind was already howling, and the single-layer clothes on his body had been replaced by thin jackets.
At this time, in the northern border fortress, a group of people have been lying in ambush in the snow-covered barren grass for two hours, covered with turmeric. The colored cotton cloth wrapped, blending in with the wild grass beneath him, only a pair of sparkling eyes were exposed.
"Childe, go back first, we'll just keep an eye on it," a rough voice whispered.
Also lying beside him was a thin man, staring straight ahead with dark eyes.
"No, I've been with them for so many days, and if I can't kill him myself today, I'm finally unwilling", the clear voice was like a warm sunshine shining on people's bodies in the sky.
Zhou Heng has been tracking these people for more than ten days, and he has seen through the identity of the other party from the day he found it in the border city of Fu You in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he didn't expect to chase them all the way and find that they are gradually moving in the direction of Beiyan.
So he didn't dare to relax for a moment and followed, thinking that he would be caught off guard when this group of people relaxed.
How could he not recognize the person in charge, when he first fled back to the Southern Jin Dynasty, he met this person and almost exposed his whereabouts, so that he was beaten passively for a period of time.
And four of the twelve shadow guards around him died at the hands of this person, otherwise he would not have met Old Lady Mu in disguise and was finally saved by him.
It was only when he saw them go deeper and deeper into the border between the two countries that he was suspicious that he was spared, and until today they followed all the way to the border, but the group of people did not stop.
He boldly guessed who they were waiting for, so he waited in ambush here to see what happened.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and although the people lying in the barley were tightly wrapped, they could not withstand the cold air under them.
But they are all highly trained, and even if they can't stand it, they will never say a word, after all, their masters are still gritting their teeth and persevering.
Finally, in the torment, the group of people in front of them changed, and the stars shone in the distance, and they could be seen in the dim skylight, although not very clear.
"It's coming", Zhou Heng held a dry grass on the ground in his mouth, and his eyes showed a light of success.
The light of the fire slowly approached, and four or five tall horses galloped towards them, and those people were sturdy, and their faces were covered with beards, which was very obvious to the characteristics of the Northern Yan people.
Zhou Heng knew that he hadn't followed for so many days in vain, he knew that he was following the people of the Three Princes, but he didn't expect that he really colluded with the people of Beiyan, how dare he.
first opened mines to forge weapons privately, and secretly interacted with enemy countries, as a prince, what is he for.
There is also a little doubt, when did this matter start, when he was still in Beiyan, and if so, can he have the handwriting of his good third brother in Beiyan's difficult situation.
The two sides stood there and didn't know what they were negotiating, Zhou Heng didn't act rashly, although he had far more people than them, he had to calm down if he wanted to know their purpose today.
After another half a cup of tea, the leader took out something from his arms and handed it over, but the other party did not answer, and then the situation of those people was a little wrong, like some dispute, and one of the people in the Southern Jin Dynasty was thrown to the ground by the other party's horsewhip.
Zhou Heng knew that the opportunity had come, and it was his best chance at this time when their conflict intensified, and he was also very curious about what the leader had come up with.
Nodding lightly to the people behind him, more than thirty figures lying on his stomach slowly approached silently in the dark skylight, Zhou Heng did not move, always staring at the leader's movements.
Reaching back, an adult's arm-long crossbow was in his hand, and the tip of the arrow was pointed directly at the leader.
It wasn't until his men were three feet away from the group that the two people who were arguing noticed the anomaly, but there was no chance of escape in this unsuspecting situation.
