"You wear men's or women's clothes, what pressure do you put on us?" Ishikawa was puzzled and looked at Xiang Xuemei in surprise

"Let's go, compared to the previous trip, I have my own point to say." Xiang Xuemei held a horsewhip in her hand, pointing to the road ahead of Pingchuan, "Thirty miles ahead, it is ten miles of peach blossom ditch, whoever picks the first peach blossom will win!" Do you dare to compare? ”

"Compare is compare, why be afraid." Ishikawa was angry, and looked at Xiao Yan who had been on his side for a long time, "Let's compare together, I don't believe it, our brothers can still lose." ”

Xiao Yan naturally had seen Xiang Xuemei's kung fu immediately, and knew that Ishikawa would definitely not win.

However, he was the one who didn't think much of the excitement, so he coaxed with interest, "Compare, we have to win!" ”

With the support of his brothers, Ishikawa immediately raised his might, and his courage grew.

So, the three of them urged the horses to stand side by side, and Xiao Yan began to count: "Three, two, one, drive ......" With a "drive", the three of them shot straight out like an arrow off the string.

At the beginning, the three of them walked almost all the way, and no one was left behind, but after twenty miles, the gap widened significantly, and Xiang Xuemei took the lead, leaving the other two far behind.

Seeing this, Ishikawa fought to catch up, but after all, his skills were still inferior, so he gradually became decadent, but shouted at Xiao Yan, "Brother, it's up to you to win glory for our man!" ”

Xiao Yan was not moved, and he didn't see him get up, but the horse under the seat suddenly sped up and chased in the direction of Xiang Xuemei.

Xiang Xuemei lay down on the horse and rushed forward blindly, the cloak on her shoulders fluttered in the spring breeze, and Xiao Yan behind her saw that she was about to catch up with her, but somehow, she always fell behind her again, always maintaining a similar distance.

Finally, a scorching peach blossom came into view, Xiang Xuemei cheered, dismounted, picked a peach blossom in her hand, and looked at Xiao Yan who was getting closer and closer with a smile.

When he came closer, Xiao Yan also dismounted, smiled brightly, and admitted defeat, "The skills are not as good as others, and I am willing to bow to the wind!" Admire, admire! ”

Xiang Xuemei pursed her lips and smiled arrogantly, and asked casually, "I don't know how Lord Shi will feel?" As he spoke, he put the flower in his hand under his nose and closed his eyes intoxicated to smell the fragrance of the flower.

At this time, although she was dressed in men's clothes, Yingying stood in front of a bright and gorgeous peach blossom, which was really bright and moving, and she was more beautiful than flowers. Especially the demeanor of closing his eyes and sniffing, it was very delicate and moving, and Xiao Yan's heart jumped with it.

He hurriedly looked away, looking left and right at him, "Miss Xiang, have you been to Yangzhou before?" ”

"I have been there only many years ago, when I was still young, and what I remember most is the white Qionghua blooming on the thousand trees in Yangzhou." Xiang Xuemei's eyes were fascinated, as if she remembered what happened when she was young, and whispered: "Li Qianrong and Jasmine, laughing roses in the mortal dust, but Narcissus can be leisurely, and Jiang Mei seems to be the same as her Qingshu." ”

Somehow, as soon as Xiang Xuemei finished reading, Xiao Yan looked at her steadily, her eyes shining like stars, "Miss Xiang, do you like this poem in praise of Qionghua?" ”

"Who arrived first?"

Xiang Xuemei was just about to answer, the sound of horses' hooves, Ishikawa finally caught up, and before the person came close, the voice came first.

When I came closer, I saw that neither of them answered, but I saw that Xiang Xuemei raised the peach blossoms in her hand, and her face was pretty and flying, so she understood, and immediately became angry, drooped her head, and didn't say a word.

I was stunned, and immediately raised my head again, and asked puzzledly: "You won this horse race, but what does this have to do with you disguising yourself as a man?" ”

"If I am a woman, and I am always running ahead of you when I am hurrying all the way, then you will not be so shameless! So...... "Xiang Xuemei is a serious and righteous color."

It turned out that she was dressed as a man, and she was really kind and careful for the sake of the other two.

Worried that she is a little woman, but she always runs in front of two big men, indeed, it will attract criticism and jokes.

Naturally, there is also invisible pressure in their hearts.

Therefore, she dressed as a man, obviously with good intentions.

However, Ishikawa felt even more aggrieved, and without saying a word, he looked at Xiao Yan angrily.

However, Xiao Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes looked away, and he was even more preoccupied, so Ishikawa had no choice but to give up and stop bothering him.

Sure enough, along the way, except for the night closure, Xiang Xuemei really took the lead and kept running ahead.

At the beginning, Ishikawa struggled to move forward as always, still wanting to fight, but after several times, he lost in a row, so he didn't want to and couldn't afford to struggle anymore.

Looking back at Xiao Yan, seeing that he was unusually and sullen all the way, he also thought that he was like himself, and he was suppressed by Xiang Xuemei and unhappy? And they didn't pay much attention to his abnormality.

Finally, three days later, in the evening, the three of them and the twelve black horsemen successfully arrived in Yangzhou City, and they all stayed in the Jiading Inn in the city.

As soon as everyone arrived at the inn, as soon as their feet touched the ground, they also yawned and had a sad face, and they were busy looking for their own rooms, and then each looking for their own beds, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as their heads touched the pillow.

The next day, the sun was three poles before waking up one after another.

Of course, the earliest to get up is Xiao Yan, Ishikawa Chizhi, and the latest is Xiang Xuemei.

After each had breakfast and lunch, Xiao Yan and Ishikawa hid in the room, discussing how to meet the "Feng Yelang" in the prison, and how to induce him to tell him the truth that he might have been hiding for so many years.

"The old way, let him taste all kinds of criminal laws, I don't believe that he doesn't tell the truth, the truth?" Ishikawa slapped the table, not angry.

"No, you think, it's been five years, if you want to say that he said it a long time ago, until today, I'm afraid he won't reveal a word and a half." Xiao Yan denied the idea of the former.

"Then coax him, confess and be lenient, and make meritorious contributions to commute his sentence, as long as he tells the truth, or provides some useful clues, he will be commuted, and he will really be commuted."

If you don't eat the wine, you will give him a toast, soft and hard, Ishikawa comes and goes, and that's all there is to it.

"It is difficult for him to willingly confess the secrets he has worked so hard to hide, but it is not impossible to do so, you have to use skill, use stratagem, do what he likes, and induce him to tell it himself." Xiao Yan thought of a feasible strategy again.

"You put it simply, how do you do what he likes, and how do you induce him to say it automatically?" Ishikawa is not angry.

"It's so simple, so why do you think it's so complicated?" Ishikawa once said that there are everywhere, and the ubiquitous Xiang Xuemei walked in and said playfully.

The two of them had long been surprised by her behavior, and after seeing her sit down freely, Ishikawa deliberately embarrassed her, "How to make it simple, please teach Miss Xiang." ”

"Simple, just two words, prison robbery!" Xiang Xuemei neatly stretched out two jade-like fingers.

Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing, she never thought that Miss Xiang's thoughts coincided with herself! As the so-called heroes see, they see the same!

"Miss Xiang, are you going to rob the prison with your twelve black horses? Maybe it won't work? The guards of the Yangzhou Mansion Prison are tight? Besides, even if you rob him out, what's the point? Ishikawa said in disappointment.

"Grab it out, and then put a long line to catch a big fish!" Xiang Xuemei replied extremely seriously.

"Yes, what he wants most now is to get out of prison, as for how to put a long line to catch a big fish after he is rescued, or how to lure him to tell the truth, just leave it to me!" Xiao Yan also agreed.

"If I want to rob you, I am an official of the imperial court, so naturally I can't know the law and break the law." Ishikawa hesitated and shoved.

"Stupid stone, naturally it's not a real disaster!" Xiao Yan knocked Ishikawa on the head.

Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, "It's not a real tribulation, can it still be a fake calamity?" ”

It's no wonder that Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that there was a difference between a fake robbery and a real robbery, so he glared at Xiao Yan, "What kind of fake robbery?" ”

"You go to the Yangzhou Mansion Prison first, and discuss with the warden, just say that in order to assist in the investigation of the case, we will put on a show to rob the "Feng Yelang", and let them fully cooperate. Xiao Yan explained the arrangement to Ishikawa in detail.

"And then? If you get him out, will he go to find Yu Qiukong? What if he didn't know him at all, and he didn't know Yu Qiukong's whereabouts? Isn't your prison in vain? What then? "Ishikawa is still rambling.

"As long as I rescue him, I naturally have a way to make him tell the truth, whether he has any connection with Yu Qiukong or not, understand?" Xiao Yan confidently emphasized again.

"Well, I'll believe you again! I'm going to help you make a good arrangement, let you play your strengths, and make a big show! Don't let me down! Although Ishikawa didn't know what method Xiao Yan would use to lure Yu Qiukong's truth, he still obediently and obediently complied.

After Ishikawa left, Xiang Xuemei looked at Xiao Yan with interest, "After rescuing him, how are you going to deal with him?" ”

Xiao Yan also looked back at her, and asked her whether it was true or false, "Do you want to know?" Then tell me first, when did you come to Yangzhou? ”

"Well, I'll tell you when you successfully catch Yu Qiukong." The latter shook his chin arrogantly and turned away.

Xiao Yan looked at her back, and frowned again, a very distant memory hidden deep in her heart became clearer and clearer after coming to Yangzhou.

He shook his head, suppressed the lingering memories in his heart, and thought, let's deal with the matter in front of him first.

Because, when Mu Qing invited himself to go to Shuzhou this time, he naturally knew that things were tricky, so he wanted to help him.

Therefore, you must calm down and think carefully, how to rescue Feng Yelang without any mistakes and flaws, and then gain his trust, so that he can learn Yu Qiukong's true identity from others?

He took out the portrait of Yu Qiukong drawn by Miss Fan from his arms, and studied it carefully with the sunlight slanting in from the window.
