Chapter 550: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Bai Liandang broke out in a cold sweat.

She didn't know what the people in the Gu Mansion were like before, but they all knew the roots until she came, and she wouldn't use people who didn't know the roots.

Even Mama Li's niece Hui'er was returned to Mama Li for an excuse. Not to mention the two kung fu maids Gu Yan found, if it weren't for his reassurance, it would be impossible to put them by his side.

There are also people in the front yard, after the last incident happened, Gu Yan arranged people outside the general's mansion, this time he is not in the northwest, and the guards in the mansion are more than twice as many as before, how can no one find out that there is a fire here!

The more Bai Lian thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong!

But the doors and windows were sealed, and as the fire became more and more vigorous, a feeling of despair gradually rose in Bai Lian's heart.

It is the first time that there is no way to find the sky, there is no way to hold the ground, and death is in front of you.

But who is going to take his own life?

Liu Ying who was sent away?

She doesn't have such ability, she has only been in the northwest for half a year, and there won't be many cronies to cultivate, and now that the inside and outside of the Gu Mansion have been cleaned by her, where will there be her manpower.

But who else could it be, not her?

At this time, Bai Lian heard a voice outside, faintly hearing in the crackling and burning sound:

"Childe, the doors and windows are sealed."

With this sentence, Bai Lian's heart instantly lifted, as if she had a dream in the blink of an eye,

"Smash the door open!"

In a desperate situation, the old people meet, Bai Lian has always kept herself calm, but at this moment she cried excitedly.

It's Yang Qing!

Then, the door was kicked open, and two men broke in in the heat.

The first person was dressed in a cotton brocade robe that had rained through the sky, and the red firelight responded to him, and there was happiness and fear in his expression.

After getting out of the burning house, Bai Lian found that only the main courtyard where she lived was on fire, and the front yard and other courtyards were not on fire, but strangely, no one in the entire General's Mansion found it.

"Yang Qing, why are you in the northwest?" Bai Lian was very surprised.

Yang Qing untied the cloak behind him and handed it to Bai Lian, who paused for a moment before taking it, Yang Qing

"Why didn't you notify me when you came to the northwest?" Bai Lian asked as she pulled her cloak.

Yang Qing's face was a little unnatural, but in the night, Bai Lian didn't see it, and only heard Yang Qing say: "The business is busy, I can't take care of it, I thought about waiting for the business to open and then invite the nine girls over." ”

Yang Qing said this, and Bai Lian believed it.

Bai Lian looked up at him at this time, the previous memories flooded back, and the two of them seemed to remember the previous moment when they were separated, but Yang Qing didn't dare to meet her gaze anymore, just opened her eyes and said:

"I slept late tonight, and when I saw the firelight here, I rushed over, but I didn't expect to call the door but it shouldn't be, and the general's mansion didn't even have a nursing home, so I asked someone to break open the door, and then I found that the people in the inner and outer courtyards were like being drugged, and they were asleep. I've sent someone to wake them up. ”

After listening to Yang Qing's words, Bai Lian's brows furrowed, and at this time, Bai Lian heard the sound of Steward Gu rushing to the backyard with someone.

As soon as he saw Bai Lian, Steward Gu knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, and the guards behind him were also a little vain, it seems that what Yang Qing said is true, but Cheng DΓΉ, who wants to come to the Chinese medicine, is not deep, otherwise he is afraid that Yang Qing will not wake them up at this moment.

Bai Lian shouted to them to get up, until now she didn't know who the troublemaker was, she frowned and said: "The only person who can make all the people inside and outside the house get hit like this is to do something about eating, take care of the housekeeper, and send someone to tie up the people in the kitchen!" ”

Steward Gu took the order and went.

Yang Qing pointed to the fire in the main courtyard, but Bai Lian raised his hand and signaled that he was not in a hurry:

"Let it burn, you watch it, don't let the fire spread, just ignite other yards."

After that, Yang Qing watched the Gu Mansion's nursing home move separately, and he didn't speak, Bai Lian's decision was never wrong.

Several of Bai Lian's maids were rescued, and they were all asleep, Bai Lian was suspicious, and then thought that she was very tired tonight, and she went to bed early and didn't eat dinner, so she didn't fall asleep like the people in the house.

It seems that what she guessed was true, someone did something with the food!

When the people in the kitchen were kidnapped, they also looked like they hadn't woken up, and at this time, several mothers-in-law were already frightened, looking at the fire in the main courtyard, their tremors trembled, and they didn't understand what the housekeeper tied them for, but they also knew that it was absolutely no good thing.

They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Bai Lian's gaze swept over them one by one, and said in a deep voice:

"Tonight, the people in the house who are sleeping don't know that they have been drugged in their food."

When Bai Lian said this, her eyes swept over them, not angry and arrogant, and they were so frightened that they wanted to break their heads to show their innocence.

Looking at their expressions, if they are not really innocent, they are pretending to be too similar.

"Then let me ask you again, is there any suspicious person approaching the kitchen today?"

The kitchen has always been a few of them, and if no suspicious person approaches, there is a ghost in the middle of them.

Even if they are the old men who have been used in the General's Mansion, Bai Lian will not believe them all.

In this world, there are too many means to force them to comply. Gold and silver are incompatible, there are other means, and loyalty is not absolute.

The few of them looked at each other and looked at each other, and none of them could say anything suspicious.

Then, as if remembering something, two of them said:

Madame asked, and the old slave remembered a man. At dinner today, the water in the kitchen tank bottomed out, and the old slave called the little brother in the front yard to come to the well in the backyard to help carry the water. ”

And, at this time, several maids around Bai Lian woke up, and they also heard Bai Lian's words, Qiao'er has always been careful, listened to Bai Lian's words, and then looked at the mother-in-law in the kitchen, and then frowned.

She stood up and came to Bai Lian's side, wanting to salute, but her steps were vain and she almost fell headlong.

She is a weak woman, unlike the people in the outer courtyard who are all strong, even if she is drugged, most of the medicinal power is dissipated at this time.

After the people around her helped Qiao'er stand firmly, Qiao'er said to Bai Lian Shili: "Madam, the slave maid has something to tell you. ”

Bai Lian nodded and motioned for her to say, Qiao'er said: "After Madame fell asleep in the evening, Mrs. Liu Shoubei came to visit, saying that she had told Madame before, to send a few potted plants, and later knew that Madame was asleep, so she didn't let the slaves and maids call Madame, and the slaves and maids led her to the flower room in the backyard. ”

Qiao'er said this, Bai Lian thought of it, that Mrs. Liu did mention that she wanted to send a few trimmed bonsai before, Qiao'er's words gave Bai Lian a wake-up call, and Bai Lian immediately thought of the Liu family.

I only heard Qiao'er continue: "Mrs. Liu was walking well, but she suddenly tripped over a stone under her feet, fell on the edge of the well in front of the flower house in the backyard, and inadvertently fell the paddle in her hand, Mrs. Liu said that it was just a handkerchief, so she didn't care, and then after sending the things to the flower room, Mrs. Liu left, and the well was the well used for the kitchen in the house."

With Qiao'er's words, the mother-in-law in the kitchen also breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter is already obvious, Bai Lian frowned, she thought about a lot of people, but she couldn't think of why others would want her life, now the general's mansion is safe, only her own courtyard is locked, and there is a raging fire, which is obviously for herself.

The Liu family!

With the Liu family, there are no old worries before, and there are no new grievances in the near future, what reason can make them take a lot of trouble to ask for their lives, Bai Lian really can't think of it.

Subsequently, Bai Lian thought of Liu Zhixiang's background, he was once a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yan family, was it instructed by the Yan family behind this matter?

However, why did the Yan family do this?

Now is the time to rely on Gu Yan's Northwest Army, why would they do such a thing at this time?

Bai Lian couldn't figure it out.

But one thing is certain, someone wants her life.

Yang Qing didn't speak, looking at Bai Lian's expression was cold and indifferent, and his momentum became more and more calm.

She shines brighter than ever.

Even if there are many wolves at this moment, it is difficult to hide her momentum.

How good she is, Yang Qing has always known that he has heard about all the things that happened in Beijing, that is, Gu Yan, otherwise who can protect her safe and sound, thinking of this, he felt a little sad in his heart, but he was also a little relieved.

Originally, I came to the Northwest just to see her and see if she was doing well, but after arriving, I thought that she had already married a family, where could she still live in the Northwest for a while like before, and I always wanted to leave, but I always felt regretful.

It wasn't until tonight that I was glad I didn't leave.

Steward Gu watched the fire in the main courtyard burn all the time, and asked Bai Lian to show it, Bai Lian thought about the things before and after, the reason why the Liu family did it so vaguely was because he was afraid that Gu Yan would know that there were robbers who burned and looted, but he was afraid that it was also the Liu family who made the means to lure Song Ji out of the city, and when he came back, he was afraid that he would have burned into a pile of ashes.

Even if Gu Yan investigates it afterwards, he can't investigate the Liu family, there is no spy of the Liu family in the house, and when the incident happened, it was the subordinates in the house who guarded it unfavorably, and even if it was investigated, no one could be found.

If it is really the Yan family, I am afraid that this time it will not work out, there will be a next time, Bai Lian looked at the raging fire at this time, with a sadness in her eyes that she couldn't even say, and the knife from her relatives could not fight back.

"Butler." White Lotus shouted.

"The subordinates are here." Steward Gu responded.

"Tomorrow the news will be spread, there was a fire at night, the people in the house did not notice, the main courtyard was burned, saying that I was staying in the main courtyard and could not escape." After Bai Lian finished speaking, she looked at the sky-high fire, and the red light reflected in her eyes, dyed red.

Steward Gu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Madam, how do you send a message to the general?" ”

"No need to send a message." Bai Lian turned around and said, "I'll enter Beijing tomorrow." ”

When they learned of their deaths, they would stop, and there would be no obstacles along the way, and she would see what their purpose was-

When Gu Yan received the news, he was already in the capital, and he was camped thirty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, but he was not in a hurry to enter Beijing.

The news was sent by the Rongcheng garrison, and the Rongcheng General's Mansion went to the water at night, and the fire burned the main courtyard of the General's Mansion, and the wife failed to escape and was buried in the fire.

When Gu Yan received the news, he was stunned.

In the past, even if I was outnumbered, I didn't feel like this when facing thousands of troops.

He just felt like a dream, he took the letter and read it again, and the words seemed to be imprinted in his heart.

He felt something in his throat gushing out, his eyes were suffocated, he stood up sharply, and rushed out of the tent, and the black horse was not far from his tent, and he strode straight at the black horse.

Gu Yan seemed to be a beast that had lost his mind, Luo Xin had just seen the messenger and learned the news of Rongcheng, so he hurriedly came to Gu Yan's camp.

Before he went in, he saw Gu Yan coming out of the tent with such a look, Luo Xin stepped forward, but Gu Yan didn't seem to see him, he got on the horse directly, and was about to leave.

Luo Xin's surprise was not small, he had been following Gu Yan for so long, and it was the first time he had seen him like this.

The three armies left and left regardless of it.

Luo Xin immediately stopped in front of the horse, and the black horse raised his hooves and snorted, almost injuring him.

Luo Xin said anxiously: "General, don't be impulsive! ”

"Get out of the way!" Gu Yan's face was gloomy, as if he could condense ice.

Luo Xin just stopped in front of the horse and said, "General, the three armies are here, is the general going to abandon them?" ”

Gu Yan didn't expect these at all, at this time, Luo Xin couldn't take care of Gu Yan when he said it, he just wanted to give birth to wings and return to the northwest immediately.

"Get out of the way!"

Luo Xin saw that Gu Yan couldn't listen to such words, and knew that even if anyone came at this time, he couldn't stop him, so he said again:

"General, don't worry, why don't you think about it carefully, why is the letter from the Garrison Mansion, and not from the General's Mansion and Song Ji?"

Luo Xin's words made Gu Yan's heart stunned, and most of the murderous aura that had risen before disappeared in an instant.

Such a big news, the housekeeper and Song Ji didn't even have any news, and Song Ji was a message in the army, much faster than an ordinary letter, the news that the garrison should never have arrived, but Song Ji didn't have any news there.

I was carried away by that kind of news just now, so I ignored it, and now I was reminded by Luo Xin that I gradually regained my senses.

Luo Xin looked at Gu Yan's expression softened, and then he considered his words and said, "The general might as well wait, there must be something we don't know about here." ”

Gu Yan's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and a Sichuan character was twisted between his eyebrows, and Gu Yan looked up in the direction of the northwest.

Three days, wait another three days, if there is no news from Song Ji and the housekeeper, he can't sit still anyway-

Calculating the schedule, there will be two more days to go to Beijing, Bai Lian rode in the carriage, with Qiao'er and Yan'er, and the other two kung fu Yin Ling and Jin Xian pretended to be men at this time and Song Ji and others rode horses to follow the carriage.

That day, Song Ji lay in ambush for half the night and saw no trace of the thief, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, and then the alarm bell sounded in his heart, thinking that Gu Yan confessed to himself, no matter what, he should not be reckless, and protecting the general's mansion was the top priority.

Thinking of this, Song Ji rushed back, and saw the fire at the Rongcheng General's Mansion from a distance.

This surprise is not trivial, Song Ji commanded his subordinates to put out the fire, and he was about to break into the main courtyard after being drenched in water in winter, but fortunately, Steward Gu stopped him, and learned that Bai Lian and the maids around him had been out of danger, and Song Ji returned to his place.

Bai Lian went to Beijing, Song Ji escorted left and right, not fake the hands of others, this time it was a great luck, Mrs. was fine, if there was really an accident, it would be ten thousand deaths, and it would be difficult to escape the blame.

ps: Two in one chapter, the husband and wife will be reunited tomorrow.

Good night, I'll give you more tomorrow.
