Chapter 117: Exquisite Layout

In the sound of horses' hooves, in the shaking carriage, Zhao Xian woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she was only in a trance for a moment, and when she saw Ah Yan next to her, she already knew that she was in the carriage.

"Master, are you awake?" Ah Yan has red eyes that haven't slept all night.

"What time is it?" Zhao Xian sat up straight and asked this as soon as she spoke.

"The hour has passed!" Yan replied.

"It's so late." Zhao Xian muttered. But in her heart, she thought: "Yelu Zongzheng must have left the city", she remembered that Yelu Zongzheng had said that he would go out of the city from the north to Fengqiu Gate today.

She couldn't remember how she had fallen asleep the previous night, how she had met her, and how she had returned to her carriage.

She only remembered how her heart was beating wildly when she heard Yelu Zongzheng's too-clear confession last night, but she could only pretend to be ignorant.

After a tiring day yesterday, she still couldn't stand the fatigue of her body, and she fell asleep with extreme sleepiness.

Zhao Xian was dazed in her sleep and realized that she was first pressed on his shoulder by Yelu Zongzheng, and then seemed to be afraid that she would not be comfortable sleeping, so she wrapped her with a cloak in his arms.

Last night, listening to the sound of the 'ticking' rain outside the house, she fell asleep peacefully, but she didn't know if Yelu hadn't closed her eyes all night, she only knew that in that warm embrace, she slept very sweetly, and it seemed to ...... It's really good!

"Alas!" , just thinking that she couldn't send each other this morning, and she didn't know if she could see her again in the future after today, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and she always felt that everything was so unpredictable.

Thinking of not being able to see him again, she felt slightly bored in her heart, this feeling was quite annoying, and she gently lifted the dense bamboo curtain on the car window, Zhao Xian looked out, the spring outside was bright, and there was no trace of rain, as if last night's incident was just a spring dream of her own.

Ah Yan was strange about the master's actions, and didn't understand why the master, who was calm and self-controlled in the past, suddenly smiled and sighed today, and finally couldn't help but say: "Master! You have something on your mind. ”

"Ugh!" Zhao Xian was pointed out by Ah Yan, a suspicious red flashed on her face, she hurriedly put down the curtain, coughed lightly and asked in disguise, "How did you find me?" ”

"I waited for the master at the gate of 'Xinghuazhai' last night, and in the early morning, it was the horse led by the king of Yelu County who carried the master." Yan replied.

"Am I not awake?" Zhao Xian never knew that she could sleep so sweetly.

"Master Xu has been too tired lately." Ah Yan was honest after all, and he didn't think much about it.

Mentioning that she was carried by a horse, Zhao Xian suddenly remembered the horse given by Yelu Zongzheng, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that jujube red horse now?" ”

"The master is talking about the horse that has been following the car all along?" Ah Yan lifted the curtain and asked, pointing outside.

"That horse is called 'Luoxia'", Zhao Xian saw at a glance that the jujube red horse was running with the carriage unhurriedly, with a proud posture, and when he was coquettish and flattering Yelu yesterday, he was completely like two horses.

"What happened to yesterday's pregnant woman?" Zhao Xian remembered the pregnant woman who was hit by an ox cart yesterday.

"My master and brother I sent the woman to the Huimin Pharmacy, and Senior Brother Li said that although she was seriously injured, fortunately, she was rescued in time, and her life was finally safe, so he left the woman to slowly raise in the pharmacy." Yan replied.

"Yes, that's very good." Zhao Xian nodded, leaned back on the pillow behind her, and sat up again for a moment.

Yesterday, I was unexpectedly blocked on the way to the appointment, and I rescued myself afterwards, which was delayed for nearly three hours. The incident happened suddenly, and at that time, he was only concerned about the life and death of the pregnant woman and the safety of the child in her womb; After that, he was in a hurry to go to Xinghuazhai to meet with Yelu Zongzheng, and he had no time to think of anything else.

Now that I have calmed down and thought about it, I realized that yesterday's events were quite coincidental and full of doubts. For example, the pregnant woman who was hit, the crowd of onlookers, and the dozen or so carriages blocking behind without advancing or retreating.

All the coincidences come together to show only one message, pointing to one purpose, and that is to delay her. Is it delaying her appointment? Apparently not.

Her eyelids jumped suddenly, and she raised her voice outside the curtain and ordered: "Hurry up and drive the car to the vicinity of the Inner Chengzhou Bridge." ”

Early yesterday morning, the Xixia envoy had already left Bianliang first, because she relaxed her vigilance for a while, and at this time she thought that she was wrong.

She didn't want her guess to come true. However, no matter how the carriage rushed to the state bridge, no matter how fast she was without stopping, when she arrived at the cabin of 'Yijiangnan', she still understood that she was still late.

Zhao Qiong's injuries last time did not heal, but because of her carelessness, the Ziyan and Longcui sisters were taken captive last night. Zhao Xian's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

The two sisters were kidnapped, and now she doesn't have to think about it, she also understands who it is?

Since their carriage left the house early yesterday morning, she has fallen into layers of calculations.

She thought that no matter when she went out of the city yesterday, she could see the scene of a pregnant woman lying there after being hit and no one rescued her, and the man was sure that she would not die without help.

If she had ignored human life, she would have thought that the dozen or so blocked carriages behind her would not let her retreat and leave, and she would have chosen another way.

The dying pregnant woman, the premature baby, herself, her brother, and Ah Yan worked together for two hours until dusk to revive her, which was obviously delaying the time.

the crowd of onlookers; the so-called ox cart that disappeared without a trace after hitting someone; too calm and bizarre pregnant women; A dozen wagons without anyone coming down; And her personality is taken into account. All of this is obviously a game that someone has set up.

Such a deep scheming, seemingly coincidental but step-by-step style, except for the 'hidden gang', don't think about it.

The leader of the 'Hidden Gang' is the speculation of his cousin Zhao Yunsheng, if it is said that this was an eight-point guess before, it has been very certain at this time. Thinking about it, Zhao Yunsheng had already guessed that she was Xiao Xian, the person behind the scenes of 'Remembering Jiangnan'.

The 'Hidden Gang' failed to kidnap people last time, and this time the careful layout is bound to win for the Ziyan sisters, presumably in order to show favor to Li Yuanhao with the two of them as gifts, so as to conspire with great things.

"Ah Yan, immediately someone will find out where Li Yuanhao is now? There are quite a few envoys in the Western Xia, and they may not be able to go fast, you and I will lead people to chase after them, and maybe there will still be a chance to bring the Ziyan sisters back. Zhao Xian suddenly turned to Ah Yan and said.

"Master, no!" Zhao Qiong hurriedly stopped.

Seeing Zhao Xian's eyes blaming herself, Zhao Qiong hurriedly pulled Zhao Xian to sit down, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, with a sad face: "Does the master know where the Ziyan sisters are?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xian said, "But Yan'an Mansion? ”

Zhao Qiong nodded: "It is a small village near the border of Western Xia in Yan'an Prefecture, which has been harassed by Western Xia soldiers all the year round, and their hometown was ransacked by the Western Xia army that year, and both parents died. Later, several people fled to Bianliang, but fortunately the master rescued him to today. ”

"Don't blame yourself, the two Ziyan sisters are begging to be taken captive this time, and they are willing to go to Xixia to be spies in the shadows. I know that the master has always treated us like relatives, and I didn't want to send them into the tiger's mouth, but the two of them begged each other bitterly, and they didn't hesitate to force each other to die, and their subordinates ......" Zhao Qiong lowered her head before she finished speaking.

"So, you agreed? Do you know that once the two of them enter Li Yuanhao's hands, it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, if you are not careful, your life will not be guaranteed" Zhao Xian's face became more and more ugly.

"The subordinates know the master's intentions, but they only raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Now that there is such a good opportunity to enter the Western Xia Palace, how can you give it up? If it weren't for that, his subordinates would protect the two even if they fought for their lives. If the master wants to punish, his subordinates will not complain. After Zhao Qiong finished speaking, he knelt in front of Zhao Xian.

"You're ......!" Zhao Xian sighed, bent over to help Zhao Qiong up, and said, "I know that you and your sisters have a deeper relationship than me, and now that this is the case, I have nothing to say." ”
