Chapter 82: The Pigeon
Tang Sai'er crouched in the grass, took out the long rope in his backpack, quickly tied it into a knot to make a flexible collar, and quietly stretched over to put back a few iron arrows.
Then bend a small tree to make a simple catapult mechanism, and then tie the rope sleeve.
After that, he took out a fire breaker, lit wooden sticks filled with kerosene, and tied them to the arrows.
She walked a hundred paces away, pulled the noose, and heard the crisp sound of iron arrows popping out of the trunk of the tree in the distance—she looked through the gap between the dead leaves, and saw that the iron arrows were shot around the corpse, and the kerosene on the charcoal ignited the corpse and the locust tree, and burned with a bang.
The smoke was billowing and the smell of burning skin and flesh became more and more pungent at night, Tang Sai'er turned his head, glanced at the direction of the smoke burning, and prayed with his palms together: "May there be no fear, and I will live in an empty and happy country." ”
At this time, he could no longer recite a complete book of scriptures for her, so he prayed with this verse after her death.
Then he turned his head and ran away without a trace of nostalgia
Someone rushed out of the high post, shouting and scolding broke through the silence of the night, and the howling north wind fueled the fire, and it was out of control.

Tang Sai'er Jing hurried back to the merchant inn, there was already a glimmer of dawn in the sky, she hurried to the stove to roast her body, so as not to suspect the red note.
Due to the urgency of time, she didn't pay much attention to the surroundings - Boss Huang was standing on the side of the cloister, secretly observing the movement of the courtyard here, and caught a glimpse of this dusty little figure.
He walked silently to the kitchen door, coughed and shouted, "Is there anyone, bring me some porridge." ”
Then she looked out of the door in a big way - outside the dimly lit kitchen, the half-grown girl was lowering her head and lighting a fire.
Lao Huang saw that there were no flaws, but he was still a little suspicious in his heart, so he turned around and left after observing for a while.
Tang Sai'er waited for him to leave, and immediately brought water to the courtyard and washed his clothes.
After a while, there was a cooing of birds on the wall, and a very thin pigeon flew down. Don Sayre put a roll of paper on his lap, and the pigeon flew away again.
Half an hour later, the red note also got up, and the master and servant left in the car after tidying up.
Boss Huang watched them leave, frowned, always felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it again, he wrote down the situation here on paper with rice soup: including the red note went to Wang Shuxuan's temporary mansion, and came out happily and stayed in a post house for one night. Her little maid was out all night, and she released carrier pigeons, etc.
He frowned, added another sentence, and then went out with confidence, looked left and right, whistled, and suddenly another pigeon flew out, gray and blue, much fatter than the previous one.
Boss Huang successfully tied up the handbook and released the pigeon. Seeing it fly to the mountain and send it to Xiao Gu, he breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to the room to rest, but he heard the two old men who were beating outside the wall chattering loudly-
"Why are there so many pigeons this morning, they are all the third."
What the. Three?!
Boss Huang strode out of the alley, caught up with two people in time in the alley outside the wall, and under questioning, one of them said impatiently: "The west courtyard of your post house is not yet dawning." There was one, and then there was a very thin one, and then there was just now. Drink, what a fat pigeon! ”
Boss Huang didn't bother to reflect on how he fed the pigeons into chubby dun, and directly filtered out a fact: the second is put by the little girl, and the third is his own baby - whose is the first one?
The west courtyard, or the house where the red note lives, is it her?

At dusk, in the camp, Guangsheng was processing some documents and letters in his room, and a burst of music and laughter came—it was the movement of the Wei Commander's Mansion, Luo Zhan had been feasting his brothers for the past two days, and he was playing in the wine pond and meat forest all day long.
Guangsheng somewhat understands his mentality: now he is waiting for the last batch of ordnance to be sent out smoothly and the transaction completed, he is not too young, seeing that there is no hope for promotion, and he will wash his hands after completing this vote, if he succeeds, these few meals will be a disguised practice of congratulations, if he fails, this is also the most unhappy before the guillotine.
As much as there is profit, there is a great risk, and the individual is responsible for the crime.
Guangsheng was about to shout for rice, when Xiao Gu and Lan Ning had already come in with food boxes.
A dazzling array of dishes was set on the table, very sumptuous, and they were all delicious home-cooked dishes, even the wild vegetables of the New Year, Guangsheng was about to put down chopsticks with great interest, and suddenly saw the expressions of the two, and asked in surprise: "Have you not slept well in the past few days, and the dark circles under your eyes are about to catch up with the cats and bears in Shudi." ”
You're a bear!
Xiao Gu sneered, and looked at Lan Ning with a wry smile: I have been working hard to apply rotting corpse water to the armor for the past two nights, and I am finally done with my work, and victory or defeat is in one fell swoop.
At this time, there was a soldier captain with a flag outside, and he handed over the secret document, and when Guangsheng saw the fire paint mark on the seal, his face suddenly became solemn, and he opened it and looked at it, first frowned, and then let go.
It is a handwritten letter from Lord Kitsuna.
He said that when Luo Zhan's case was closed, he would come in person.
Luo Zhan's case alone, I'm afraid that he can't work Ji Gang himself, and since he has appointed Guangsheng as Jinyiwei's secret envoy, he generally won't interfere too much.
His intention in coming here was to use Luo Zhan's case to make an article?
Or does he care about the Jinlan Society, which has been lurking but has not yet moved?
Guangsheng was a little unpredictable, he put down his chopsticks, drank a bowl of soup hastily, sat down at the desk and began to ponder.
And Xiao Gu on the side was also a little uneasy.
She went out just now to find an excuse to pick wild onions for seasoning. When I arrived at the nearby hillside - this is the agreed time and place, and generally there is no movement to pick wild vegetables, so that the wild vegetables picked in the past few days can have a sack.
As a result, the fat pigeon actually appeared, and when I opened it, it was really lively over there in Pingning Fang!
Hongjian ran to Wang Shuxuan's side - if it was really betrayal, how dare she come to the door in person?
Tang Sai'er was out all night, did the red note send her, or did she have other ideas?
The last sentence especially made her mind: The smell of Tang Sai'er's body is the smell of burning flesh and fat-Boss Huang has done the spice business, and the smell of his nose is extraordinary.
Guangsheng and Xiao Gu were silent, falling into deep thought, and at this time, someone sent an urgent report, on which the blue stamp of the officials below Luo Zhan was drawn "read", and now it was sent to Guangsheng for him to see.
Outside Pingning Fang, the body of the White Lotus Sect female bandit was set on fire in the middle of the night!
Guangsheng stood up suddenly, only to feel that so many square forces were not enough to stop, and it was unbearable to keep jumping!
Xiao Gu took advantage of his back to him, and also glanced at the contents of the document, and suddenly remembered the message on Fang Caifei's book: the breath of burning flesh and fat......
It was made by that little girl Tang Sai'er!
She is also from the White Lotus Sect!
Xiao Gu immediately made an assertion.
On the other side of the window, Guang Sheng's brows furrowed with a Sichuan character: The ghost of the White Lotus Sect is still in the shadows, and the case on Luo Zhan's side is about to be closed, what kind of move will the mysterious Jin Lan Society make?
He immediately remembered Wang Shuxuan's words: The purpose of the Jinlan Club is to rescue those criminals and their dependents!!
Only the words of Hongzhi are the evidence, and he has never found any clues of this organization, but he has to be on guard.
Speaking of camp prostitutes, there is a Lan Ning by his side - he took her by his side, originally to show the world his lustful gentleness, but after getting along for a long time, I found that she knows the rules quite well and can look at people's eyes, so he doesn't mind keeping it - but if she has a problem......
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Gu, "Does Lan Ning usually have close contacts with those camp prostitutes?" ”
"Except for one time to pick up clothes, I don't have much to do with it."
Xiao Gu told the truth, but there was a groaning in his heart - why did he ask about those camp prostitutes, did he find something?
"They should accompany Commander Luo to drink now, young master, do you have something to do with them?"
Guangsheng shook his head, walked to his desk, and wrote another warrant to be presented immediately to a prostitute in charge.
He demanded that the women be relocated to Pingning Fang and given special custody.
After writing this rattle and sending it overnight, he went to the bedroom with a heavy heart—hoping that it was all unfounded.
Xiao Gu Mu sent him away, and his intuition was a little wrong-strange and abrupt question, asking about those camp prostitutes!!
Her eyes flickered, and a very bad premonition permeated her mind—this instinctive alertness to danger had saved her countless times in the past.
Xiao Gu came to Guangsheng's seat and carefully looked at the page of rice paper he had cushioned underneath - Guangsheng's handwriting penetrated the back of the paper, leaving a slight mark on the pad paper.
Xiao Gu picked up the rice paper, carefully identified it by the candlelight, read out the key words, and his face suddenly became grim.

In the warehouse in the middle of the night, Lan Ning and Guo Dayou didn't dare to hold the lamp, and finally painted the last armor with the moonlight, panting tiredly.
"It's not easy, I'm numb to my hands and feet this time." This is Lan Ning complaining.
"I've learned to apply nail polish to women, people say that many skills don't pressure my hands, and it's true, marrying a daughter-in-law in the future will come in handy."
Guo Dayou's words made Lan Ning sneer and squint at him, "You still want to be courteous to your daughter-in-law like a potato and sweet potato, make sure that someone is willing to marry you first, right?" ”
"You-"
The two were arguing, and suddenly Xiao Gu hurriedly pushed the door in-
"The situation has changed, and the plan has been advanced to tonight!"
"For what?"
The two asked in unison.
"Because they're going to be moved elsewhere tomorrow morning, and we only have a chance tonight!"
Xiao Gu hurriedly finished speaking, but Lan Ning immediately proposed, "The day after tomorrow is the time for this batch of goods to leave the warehouse, a whole day, where are more than 20 people going to hide?" ”
"Just follow our plan, hide them in armor and put them in boxes!"
"What if someone comes to search for it?"
"No, it won't." Xiao Gu said categorically: "The box is sealed so that others don't open it and see it-once it is found that it is a well-armored weapon, not scrap copper and iron, Luo Zhan will show his fox tail - do you think he will be so stupid?" (To be continued......)
