Although Man Yun kept his promise and did not abuse drugs against Xiao Hong, Qi Heng's pain-relieving decoction already contained ingredients that calmed and made people sleep comfortably.

So even if Man Yun's little hand was already tightly clamped when he fell asleep, when Xiao Hong opened his eyes in a daze under the dim candlelight, the position where the beautiful woman was originally sitting next to the couch was already empty.

"Hongmei, you still stay and protect the fifth sister and uncle, they will get along well! Anyway, I'm going north this time to follow the army, and I'm safe......"

Through a screen, the woman's familiar voice immediately made Xiao Hong find her hazy silhouette, and as soon as the tense strings in her heart were loosened, the body that had just been propped up in a panic suddenly relaxed, and slammed on the couch.

Outside the curtain, several women who were talking quietly breathed at the same time.

In an instant, Zhou Manyun, who was worried with his eyebrows lightly, appeared in front of Xiao Hong's eyes again, bowing his head and asking gently. Xiao Hong, who was lying on the pillow, raised her head weakly, and smiled awkwardly at her wife and the aunt who came behind her.

"It's already past two o'clock, it's time for me to go!" , glanced at Xiao Hong, remembered that Zhou Manyin, who wanted to avoid suspicion, suddenly turned sideways, grabbed Hongmei, and gestured to say goodbye to Manyun.

"Sister! It's okay......", Man Yun pulled Manyin's sleeve and whispered softly. Farewell in Shuangqiao, when will Zaijian stay next time, and the sisters should talk to each other at night, but she is really hanging at both ends now, which is really inconvenient.

"Mingyun is here, thank you Fifth Sister for making it happen!" , Xiao Hong climbed down the pole alone, bowed his hand, and thanked Manyin with a pun.

"Then I'm leaving! But ......", Manyin hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled indifferently, "But since Xiao Mingyun is awake, I gave the sixth sister a parting gift just now, but I have to ask you to take the axe first." ”

The request for a gift was inspected in person. The aggressiveness was inevitably a little rude, but Manyin insisted that Hongmei take the picture scroll on the case.

"The fifth sister's hand-drawn painting! Don't you know, among the daughters of the Zhou family, the fifth sister's painting skills are the most ......", Man Yun, who had only received gifts and had not read the content, laughed happily while playing a round field. While slowly pulling open the drawing paper in his hand.

A piece of plain ink, painting the autumn scenery on the riverbank. The oak tree on the rock floats leaves, but under the cliff rock, there is a male and a female dove pecking each other, and then look closely, the dove nest in the dark place of the leaves is still slightly exposed only an adult female dove who is watching a play.

"Sister took the wrong double dove picture to give us, right?" Although he put aside his pen not long after learning to paint when he was a child, when it comes to appreciation, Xiao Hong is still sharp-eyed. The autumn coolness between the paintings couldn't help but make his handsome face immediately covered with a thin layer of frost.

"Xiao Mingyun. This picture book is specially given to you! Manyin smiled and took the drawing paper from the hand of her sister who was sitting in a daze, and carefully rolled it blindly, and raised her eyes to stare sharply at Xiao Hong.

"People say that marrying chickens and chasing chickens fly, and Anzhi marrying doves is driven by doves. In ancient times, there was prosperity and decline, and the rich should not forget the poor and lowly. A woman abandons her parents and marries and returns, and what can she do in the middle way. All things are born with different kinds, who calls birds and beasts ignorant......"

With a soft sigh, Manyin took advantage of the steps forward. Directly put the scroll in Xiao Hong's hand, "Xiao Mingyun!" I'm a weak woman with an ill-fated fate, and I don't want to draw any mandarin ducks. The wild goose flies to please you. It's just a direct gift to remind you. No matter what happens to you in the future, please remember that it is not easy for the sixth sister to marry you in a hurry in Shuangqiao, and the woman in the world who can treat you like this is such a stupid, please cherish it. ”

"And you! Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog! But if one day you really can't get by, don't let you peck and get injured and don't know how to run. Remember. You're going to fly on your own! ”

Looking back, Manyin dragged Manyun's hand and squeezed it fiercely, his eyes were cold......

"How can there be such an unsightly woman in the world!" , Xiao Hong slandered in his heart, and stared at the figure of Man Yunxiang sending the two girls out with a side face. The solid fist was clenched as if he was beating himself down, but there was no sound at all.

"Go back! If you don't brush your hair, your man is going to explode! Standing in front of the door of the house, Zhou Manyin softly persuaded Manyun to see him off.

"Fifth sister!" , Man Yunjiao said angrily: "He's not so stingy!" ”

"If only it could be like this forever!" , Zhou Manyin smiled lightly and raised his hand to pat Manyun's rosy cheeks, and said, "Go back and rest!" You have to leave in the middle of the night, and I will wait until Mrs. Gao in the middle of the day to go to Jinyu. ”

"Mrs. Gao...... It's really ...... for the Gao family to abandon the fifth sister", Man Yun's tongue was sour, and he didn't know how to speak. Because of Manyin's begging, the corpses of the deceased of the Zhou family were finally collected by Xiao Hong's people, and Mrs. Gao was even sacrificed by Zhou Manyin for several days.

"The Gao family and I have been clear from now on! Didn't you say that the Gao family also used a rosewood coffin for me? The sound of the man is soft, and the clouds are light and the wind is clear.

"Fifth sister, take care!" , Man Yun firmly hugged his sister and Hongmei who were about to leave with tears in his eyes, and hugged each other closely......

Xiao Ze hid in the darkness outside the courtyard gate, staring at the figures of the two women not far away, leaving gracefully, the corners of his mouth tensed into a straight line, and the cold was pressing.

"Shizi! Aren't you going in to see the Sixth Son? Xiao Ze, who suddenly turned around and left, made the guards who were chasing after him feel at a loss. As soon as the secret meeting of the main generals and staff of the army was dispersed, Xiao Ze hurried to the residence of the sixth son, Xiao Ze, and his concern was overflowing, but at this time, he temporarily changed his hexagram and did not enter the door.

"Then please ask Mr. Wei and Mr. Han to come to my account...... Bring Captain Ma Du here too! Xiao Ze's steps became faster and faster, and he urgently invited a few important henchmen.

In the naval army camp, he directly proposed to Shen Yue to leave Shuangqiao, not because of his younger brother's impulse after being beaten, but because he had already discussed the results with his subordinates.

When he received the urgent report in Shuangqiao, he and his staff analyzed and came to a shocking conclusion that it was not an accidental incident caused by a few young people, but someone was behind it. And the subsequent discovery of Shen Qing's death is even more ironclad evidence.

Shen Yue personally ordered his second son Shen Qing to come to Shuangqiao, and half-coaxed and half-coerced to let the descendants of each family lead the army to accompany him, thinking that it was just a means for Shen Yue to seek alliance together, but now that he looks closely, maybe Shen Yue was secretly involved in the game at that time, and he put his son's life on the rope.

"Mr. Wei said before that if it wasn't for the accidental defeat at Shuangqiao, Shen Yue would have gained the most from the battle this time, but unfortunately he lost to Shen Qing...... However, the few who were 'officers and soldiers' and deceived the puppet Chu who had avoided the advance of the allied forces actually gained a lot, not only collecting the righteous liquidation of food and salary, but also reintegrating the river people who wandered in the middle reaches of the Tuojiang River, as well as a large number of Jiangbei bandits. ”

A map was spread out on the big table, and Xiao Hong, who had drawn circles in his hand, looked as bright as a torch, and asked the henchmen around him sideways: "Pseudo-Chu is leading the troops on this march, Xu Ne?" ”

"Yes! It's the Xu thief! Xiao Ze just asked knowingly, so he only relied on his nearest Ma Duwei to raise his voice, and the right to be the introduction.

"It's not clear who is behind the Twin Bridges. Mr. Han also mentioned that in addition to the several members of the Huimeng, there may also be assassins among the officials and gentry waiting in Shuangqiao. Xiao Ze paused, and said with a bleak smile: "Except for my Xiao family, almost all of them are possible?" ”

"When Shuangqiao coaxed, Bai Ziyi, Shen Qing and others successively sent people to pick the six sons to participate in the war, but the Xiao family did not move a single soldier. It is because the sixth prince is determined to be upright, and it is also because the army is relatively clean and no one dares to slander. ”

The sixth brother's determination is fine elsewhere, but he is against that woman...... Xiao Ze's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "However, we can't let go of any possibility. The Xiao family is clean, but what about the people who have recently entered the Xiao family? ”

All the smart people present, as soon as the words arrived, they knew what Xiao Ze meant. That is, the confidant, the bride of the Xiao family is the inside story of Xu Neyan's disciples, and they also know it in detail. The suspicions mentioned by Xiao Ze have also been thought of privately by the strategists who are a think tank, but when it comes to the internal affairs of the main family, it is difficult to speak.

"Zhou is a good assassin in his own right! Even the emperor dared to ...... Ma Duwei tried the skills of the servant girl next to her, and said that it was difficult for ordinary people to do light exercises! Xiao Ze's finger drew a dotted line in the air, leading everyone's attention to the map Jin Liwan said: "In addition to her guards in Shuangqiao Town, there are also her family's one hundred and ten private soldiers in Jin, and Jin Yu and Shuangqiao are just an hour." ”

The situation in the tent when Shen Qing died, the clothes of the corpse and the bloody dagger wound on his chest, Xiao Ze didn't care about it, but it really made people scrutinize. A painless assassination at close range, if it is not an unsuspecting acquaintance, should be related to the traces of a woman found in the tent. And in the Shuangqiao Xiaojia camp, there is a hidden haode stabbing guest candidate.

"Wait for the army to leave, send a team of people to keep an eye on the two women. Just said that it was according to the will of the sixth prince to send people to protect each other and blend in ......", Xiao Ze gritted his teeth and explained to his subordinates.

Man is to eat a trench and grow wise. Xiao Ze didn't dare to look down on the woman anymore this time.

On the same day, Zhou Manyun left after detoxifying Xiao Hong, he only let people keep an eye on Xu Yu, thinking that Zhou Manyun, who had lost his innocence and frustration, arrived at Jin Yu but returned home from Nandu, and cried to himself. I never thought that women would do things in Jinxu, if it was to earn fame in troubled times, Yun Jinfan would be a small win.

If Zhou Manyun participated in the Shuangqiao incident under Xiao Hong's instructions, it would be a good thing, but unfortunately it was not. And if Zhou Manyun is colluded with Xu Ne's pseudo-Chu, it is a big bad thing. There are some things that can't be thought about, if you brought people to Shuangqiao and arranged a chance marriage with Xiao Hong, it would make a woman's face even more terrifying and hateful.

"There is no need to be burdened to arrange manpower, we are just clarifying Zhou's suspicions for peace of mind! The Xiao family can't have a daughter-in-law with her elbow turned outward, and Xiaoliu can't have a woman with a bad heart next to her! ”。 Xiao Liu was so stupid that he got carried away when he had beauty in his arms, but in Xiao Ze's heart, the letter reported that Zhou Manyun's kiss to Xu Yu in the Xiakou Palace was always an unsolvable knot.

"Lord Shizi! If it is confirmed that the sixth grandmother is really colluding with the pseudo-Chu and betraying the interests of the Xiao family......"

"Then kill her anyway!" , Xiao Ze didn't raise his head to stare at the map, his eyes were as cold as ice and snow. (To be continued......)
