Chapter 24: Attacked

Soon, two days had passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two theories that the mysterious person was sent by Tu Hai or instructed by the promotion rank are becoming more and more circulating, and the Tu family and the person who is promoted are-for-tat, and there is a lot of friction in the words, and the relationship between the other party and the mysterious person is arranged as if he has seen it with his own eyes.

There are also occasional rumors here that Lu Yiru is the mastermind behind the scenes-why he ruthlessly killed his old love (separator) in order to show loyalty to his fiancΓ©.

And the Che Yan side, except for the initial indignation and noise, has always been calm and unwavering.

Just when several theories were contending with each other and several parties were surging, the news suddenly broke out that the veins under Che Yan's hands had not produced iron ore for several months.

When the news spread, Zhong Liyang Miao and Chan'er were about to go to the Jin Mansion to discuss the details of iron ore procurement with the Jin title, and when they heard that the situation had changed, the two of them were cautious, so they put the matter on hold for the time being, and at the same time sent Huang Feng, An Liu, Lang Du and others to the street to inquire about the details.

"The news is basically true, but I can't find out who released it. Huang Feng was the first to come back and reported to Chan'er, "This news disrupted the confrontation between the Tu family and the Jin Mansion a few days ago, and at this point, the spearhead was shifted to Che Dai, saying that he was pretending to be attacked, sitting and watching the snipe and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and taking the opportunity to take over the mineral veins of other families to stabilize his position." ”

"Che Ji is not pretending. In this regard, Zhongli Yang Miao and Chan'er said almost in unison.

After saying that, both of them were shocked again, they didn't expect each other to have such a consistent opinion.

"How do you know he's not pretending?" Chan'er asked out of curiosity.

It is not ruled out that he may do the opposite and deliberately let the news out. It is not excluded that someone else released this news in order to hit him. But taking a step back, the veracity of this news is still unknown, and from any point of view, the effect of pretending to be asleep on him is definitely more harmful than good. ”

"Are you an expert at analyzing situations, and you have considered various situations in such a moment?"

"My father once said that I was good at this kind of thing...... How did the county lord see it?"

"Do you remember the servants we met yesterday when we passed by Chefu?"

"Hmm. ”

"He had a lot of medicines in his hands, and judging from the amount of them, there was nothing wrong with them. ”

"The county lord knows how to heal?"

"A little bit of understanding, a long-term illness becomes a doctor. ”

"But that's still speculation. Zhong Liyang Miao frowned and said.

"It's not that there are no clues to follow. Let's go and have a look?"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. ”

The location where Che Yan was attacked, the dark side of the mine-

Huang Feng, An Liu, and Lang Du were on the periphery to investigate, while Zhong Liyang Miao and Chan'er came to the trail where the mountain bike was injured by a hidden weapon.

"There are still a few remnants of silver needles here. Chan'er pushed aside the grass and looked at Zhongli Yangmiao, "You should know a lot about hidden weapons, right?"

"Hmm. In addition to money, our business with Tu's ore is sometimes traded in the form of hidden weapons. After all, they are not people in the rivers and lakes, and if they encounter any danger, it will be much more convenient to use hidden weapons to protect themselves. ”

"And did you make this silver needle?"

"It's from Zhong Liyuan, yes, but it's just a very ordinary kind, and there is no way to narrow down the range of suspicious people from this point. ”

"Since it's a very ordinary one, Che Yan should be very familiar with it, how could he be injured to the point of being unconscious?" Chan'er muttered to herself.

"It's not because of the poison that restricts his movements......" Zhongli Yang Miao also fell into deep thought.

"Yes, that's what makes me feel strange, more than half of the silver needles scattered here are stained with blood, as if Che Yan is standing there and doesn't know how to dodge......"

"Bloodstains...... Standing in place ......" Zhong Liyang Miao repeated Chan'er's words while searching for various hidden weapons in his mind, and suddenly a light flashed in front of him, as if he had figured out something.

"Do you think of anything?" Chan'er asked when she saw Zhong Liyangmiao's expression change.

"There is a hidden weapon, that is the ...... that really seriously injured Che Yan" Zhong Li Yang Miao was halfway through his words, and suddenly found that about ten zhang away behind Chan'er, several masked people were opening their bows and arrows to aim this way.

"Be careful!" Zhong Liyang Miao shouted, and before he had time to think about it, he threw Chan'er away.

Almost at the same time, several feathered arrows had hit the place where the two had been standing.

"Are you alright?" Zhongli Yang Miao and Chan'er fell face to face on the grass.

"Well, it's fine. Chan'er answered.

Zhong Liyang Miao immediately stood up, turned to the direction of the masked man, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, seeing that we have made a discovery, so we want to kill people. ”

"I haven't figured anything out yet, it's too wronged......" Chan'er also sat up.

While the two were talking, another round of feathered arrows was fired.

Zhong Liyang Miao took a step forward and stood in front of Chan'er, pulled out his sword from its sheath, and blocked the arrows one by one.

"Originally, I said that this time I would try my best to ensure the happiness of the prince and the county lord, but this situation is ...... Or Yang Miao was negligent, please forgive the county lord. Zhong Liyang Miao turned his back to Chan'er and whispered while waving his knife to resist the feather arrows.

"You can't be blamed for that. It's all at this time, how can I still have the spirit to settle accounts with you?" Chan'er stood up and said, "There is a lot of movement on our side, Huang Feng and they must be able to hear it, but if they don't come, it means that they ...... They're in trouble too?"

Chan'er guessed well, not far away, Huang Feng, An Liu, and Lang Du were also besieged by a group of masked people and dragged down.

Huang Feng and Lang Du were worried that not to mention the master, An Liu was Yuan Han's person, and Chan'er had a deeper meaning to him, so they were even more worried about Chan'er's accident.

~~~

On this side of the path, Zhongli Yang Miao didn't have much effort to block all the feathered arrows.

"It's impossible for them to not know your identity, and if they know it, it must be more than just a bow and arrow......" Chan'er subconsciously looked around, and suddenly fixed her gaze in a certain direction, and then exclaimed, "Those ...... Are they all made by your Zhongli Garden?"

Zhong Liyang Miao looked at Chan'er's line of sight, and his heart sank.

Taking advantage of the masked man's efforts to attract the attention of the two with feathered arrows, the other people had piled up a lot of strange hidden weapon boxes on the sides of the two of them under the cover of the bushes, and there were all kinds of flying needles and darts glowing with silver light in their hands......

Faced with this scene, Zhong Liyangmiao, who has always been gentle and courteous, and he was humble and gentle, finally rose in his heart. He instantly took out something similar to a wooden stick from his arms, threw it at the hidden weapon boxes all over the ground, and the wooden stick slanted through the front boxes from top to bottom, sealing their movements in time.

And the hidden weapon boxes in the second row have all been opened, shooting out silver needles in the sky.

Zhong Liyang Miao hurriedly rotated the knife in his hand, forming a round shield in front of the two of them, and flicked away all silver needles, flying needles, and darts.

On the other hand, the masked man's bow and arrow attack was still continuing, Chan'er did not bring her own sword with her, so she bent down and picked up a feather arrow on the ground, and helped Zhong Liyang Miao knock the feather arrows to the ground.

When the third row of hidden weapon boxes was launched at the critical moment, Huang Feng, An Liu, and Lang Du finally got rid of the siege and rushed here.

Huang Feng relied on his superb light skills, while dodging the hidden weapons that kept flying out, he quickly approached the people in the bushes, and instantly clicked on the acupuncture points of the people in front of him.

An Liu lived up to the name of the fast sword, and he blocked all the hidden weapons shot out of the two rows of hidden weapon boxes by himself.

Lang Du appeared from the masked man's side, slashed the bows and arrows in their hands, and slashed at those who couldn't dodge.

However, Zhong Liyang Miao and Chan'er had just breathed a sigh of relief when a voice came from the cliff next to the path:

"I didn't expect to do this......"

A few people followed the prestige, and saw the man who spoke standing on the edge of the cliff, and in front of him there was a row of people with bows and arrows, but unlike before, these arrows were oiled rockets.

Due to the large number of enemies at present and the geographical advantage, Ren Zhongli Yang Miao, Lang Du, Huang Feng, and An Liu all showed their full strength, but the group was still in adversity.

Just as Chan'er quickly measured the scene in front of her and decided to expose her skills, Jing Hu and Luo Dong appeared in time - the two of them flew up from both sides of the cliff and attacked the archer mercilessly.

In a flash of lightning, the situation quickly changed.

In the face of the two people who suddenly burst out, the man standing on the edge of the cliff was not too panicked, only took two steps back, and raised the long sword in his hand to meet Jing Hu.

As for the leader of this group of masked men, Jing Go's sword was unsheathed for the first time since the day everyone set off from the lonely capital.

"He's actually a hidden master......" Zhong Liyang Miao sighed as he looked at the masked man's moves.

"Do you already know who he is?" asked Chan'er.

"Hmm. He is a member of the Tu family, Tu Zhen. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How could it be him? Does he want to replace everyone, including his brother?"

"That's all I can think about. ”

"What did you just say about the real secret weapon, what's going on?"

"It was your words that reminded me, Lord of the County. Zhong Liyang Miao explained, "I just thought of a hidden weapon that could make Che Yan lose his mobility and be shot by a large number of silver needles, and at the same time there was no trace left. And this kind of secret weapon is only available to the Tu family. ”

"What kind of secret weapon is it? If it's the Tu family, Tu Hai is also possible. ”

"This kind of hidden weapon is called the gut breaking needle, once it hits the human body, it will enter the blood veins, causing people to fall into a coma, and people will not wake up if the needle is not removed. As time goes by, the gods can't save it. Zhong Liyang paused and said, "Because it is too ruthless, we have long stopped making this kind of secret weapon, and the mysterious person can be determined to be one of Tu Hai and Tu Zhen." ”

"Hmm. ”

"However, in the past few days, everything related to the Tu family has been done by Tu Zhen, everyone has his eyeliner, and he also knows our whereabouts, which makes me have to be suspicious of him. I'm afraid that Tu Hai has gradually been hollowed out by him......"

"Maybe Tu Hai told him to do this to disrupt our vision?"

"If this were the case, it wouldn't be that even Lu Yiru didn't show up. ”

While Zhong Li Yang Miao and Chan'er were talking, Jing Hu and Luo Dong had already cleaned up everyone on the cliff, and the person who was the leader was really Tu Zhen as Zhong Li Yang Miao speculated.

"You're a great person, and I'm no match for him. Zhongli Yang Miao looked in the direction of Jing Hu and Luo Dong and said, "King Fu was worried about you so he let them follow, right?"

"Well, I guess so. Chan'er was thinking about Che Yan's injury, and nodded absentmindedly, unintentionally asking about Jing Hu and Luo Dong's intentions.

~~~

On September 29, calm returned.

All the silver needles in Che Yan's body were taken out, and the person had woken up.

Zhongli Yang Miao and Chan'er discussed with the promotion of the same line to buy the iron ore they needed.

Tu Hai and Lu Yiru, who had regained their freedom, also began to prepare for marriage.

~~~

The seventh day of October -

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Jing Hu, Luo Dong, Huang Feng, and An Liu to follow Zhong Liyang Miao and Lang Du to inspect the iron ore and load it on the carriage and horse, Chan'er finally had an hour to act alone.

Chan'er sneaked out of Chefu's courtyard, climbed in through the side wall, and went straight to Che Yan's study.

"Who is it?" Che Yan said vigilantly when he noticed someone approaching outside the window.

"I'm here just to convey something. Chan'er sat down on the edge of the hollowed-out oval window and smiled slightly.

"Are you...... Miss Helian with Young Master Zhongli. Che was a little surprised.

"Is the owner of the car mine feeling better?"

"It's no big deal, this time thanks to the two of them, Che Mou picked up a life. ”

"The owner of the mine is too polite. ”

"I don't know what Miss He wants to convey?"

"Well, I'll ask you three questions, and after that, we'll talk about what this is conveying, how about it?"

"Uh......" Che Yu was a little confused.

"I'll just say yes. Chan'er used her right index finger to draw a "one" and said, "First, I would like to ask the owner of the car mine whether he has done business with Hengguo Chihua Weapons Company." ”

"This is ......"

"You don't have to rush to answer yet. Chan'er gestured a "two" with her hand and continued, "Second, what do Huo Kui, Langxi, Yu Guanguan and others have in common with you?"

"......" Che Yan was silent, and his expression became serious.

"This third......" Chan'er drew another "three", "What is the relationship between the rut and Prince Gong's Mansion?"

"I hear these three questions very clearly. Che Yan said, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully to Chan'er, "See Miss Chan'er." ”

"Get up, please. You know, I'm afraid you still don't know who I am. ”

"Lord Xiaoxuan often mentions Miss Chan'er, and he also told him that if he meets one day, he must not be lazy. ”

It turned out that Che Yan was also one of the eight people of Yinchen Xuan who were hidden in the shadows like Huo Kui, a rice merchant in Jicheng, a lonely country, and Lang Xie, the shopkeeper of Hengguo Chihua Weapons Shop. It has always been him who has been responsible for privately providing iron ore to Chihua Weapons Company under the cover of false accounts, which has ensured that it occupies forty percent of the supply of weapons in Hengguo all year round. In recent months, Yuan Han has been aware of this matter, and he is worried that Emperor Xuan will find out sooner or later, so he asked Chan'er to give Che Yan a reminder.

After some greetings, Chan'er returned to the topic and said:

"I don't have much time, so I'll make a long story short, I'm here to pass on a message to you for Fu Wang Yuanhan, you and Uncle Lang Xie are dealing with the business of Taizong Taizong, which is already a bit eye-catching, if you don't restrain it, I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Miss Chan'er, and please convey my thanks to the prince. ”

"However, it doesn't seem to be too late, your iron ore is finally facing overmining and is out of production......

"Not really...... Please rest assured, Miss Chan'er, my iron ore mine is still operational. ”

"Ah, that's fine. I've got to get back to it. Before parting, Chan'er remembered something, and asked with some hesitation, "That ......"

"Miss Chan'er has something to do, just tell me. ”

"I just wanted to ask, Lu Yiru won't know your secret, right?"

"Yiru?" Che Yan laughed, "I've never been in love with her, and naturally I won't reveal the secret of my identity." ”

"Hmm. Chan'er was puzzled by the rumors, and turned around to leave, but was startled by the promotion that suddenly appeared in front of her, "Ah!"

"I'm sorry to have frightened Miss Chan'er. Jin Zhi said, bypassed Chan'er, walked in front of Che Yan, and kissed him affectionately......

Jin and Che Ji kissed affectionately......

Suddenly, Chan'er understood everything. It's not that Che Yan can't produce iron ore, but that he has dug up to the line of promotion, and the two share it......
