"The Pavilion Master said... Did the prince deliberately let Song Zong go? Qian Shan wondered: "How does the pavilion master know... Did Song Zong really escape from Dark Cliff Village? How does the girl know... Did the prince do it on purpose?"

Jiang Chengjia explained: "The real reason why the prince went to Dark Cliff Village was to make a scene in front of Song Zong, first imprison him, and then force him to escape from Dark Cliff Village in order to save his life... Go find outside help who can save him. If Song Zong's trading base in Guangxin was supported by the Shi clan forces next to the Great Wei, then Song Zong would inevitably distrust King Huai when he learned that Ning Nan was going to expose the evidence of his crime and put him to death, and he might subconsciously think that King Huai Ning Zheng sent Ning Nan Wei to kill people and kill him. Therefore, at this time, the person Song Zong wanted to find the most was the person behind the other curtain of Guangxin's dark village stronghold. Therefore, once Song Zong sees the opportunity to flee, he will definitely flee to Guangxin.

The reason why the prince set up such a big situation was to let another mastermind behind Song Zong's smuggling road of the Great Wei come to the surface. In this way, he must give Song Zong a chance to escape from the imprisonment of Jing Duwei. Otherwise... Do you think that with the subtle arming of the guards... Will Song Zong's powerless scholars have a chance to escape? It was because I was so anxious that I thought that he was seriously injured, and the moment I heard the news, I was so confused that I didn't take the details of this matter to heart. ”

Only then did Qianshan understand the whole story.

The breeze was still full of confusion and said: "The Marquis of Huaiyin set up a bureau... Subordinates understand. But why did the pavilion master say... Chengmian is also in Guangxin City? The lord of the pavilion said that the city is reluctant... But Cheng Chongyu, the son of the city general? ”

Qian Shan glared and asked Fu Feng rhetorically, "When did the pavilion master say such a thing?" Why didn't I notice? ”

The breeze glanced at her, and continued to look at Jiang Chengjia and said, "When the pavilion master whispered... mentioned the city of Mian..."

Qian Shan remembered the question that Jiang Chengjia had mentioned to her when she was on the street, and she was surprised: "How could the pavilion master know that Cheng Mian is in Guangxin City?" ”

Jiang Chengjia's mind at the moment was condensed on the matter of Ningnan's worrying situation, and he was depressed, disappointed and confused, when he heard Fufeng and Qianshan ask, he reluctantly replied: "I will find that Chengmian is also in Guangxin City... Or because of Qianshan. ”

The breeze and the candle shadow looked at Qianshan at the same time.

And Qianshan looked surprised, pointed at herself stupidly and repeated: "Because of me? ”

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "The owner of the small medical hall pharmacy where I lived when I was unconscious was Cheng Mian. ”

Qian Shan was dumbfounded and said, "How do you know? ”

Jiang Chengjia explained a little tiredly: "When I was resting, someone came to the hospital. Then I heard the man talking to the healer... I'm not asking you... Is there a noble son in the capital who has disabled legs and is blind? That's what I heard from the healer's conversation with the visitor. In addition, I also vaguely heard the doctor mention Huai Wang Ning Zheng, although I didn't hear it so clearly, but I did hear the word Ning Zheng.

Although this is also speculation, the doctor claimed to be a subordinate in front of the man who came to the medical hall, and he was also called the son of the other party, and then I thought of what you just said.... I decided that the man might be Cheng Chongyu, the eldest son of the general of the city. ”

After hearing Jiang Chengjia's words, Qianshan was even more surprised: "How could it be such a coincidence, the medical hall I found in a hurry... It's actually the storefront under the name of Cheng Mian Gongzi? ”

The breeze silently listened to the conversation between the two of them, and frowned: "Could it be... The reason why the prince of Cheng Mian came to Guangxin... Is it also to investigate the forces behind the dark bank business of Guangxin? ”

"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened." Jiang Chengjia replied, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees, and his eyes were pondering something.

"Pavilion Master... What are you thinking? Whirlwind noticed the change in her expression and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'm thinking, Ruocheng Mian really came to investigate because of this... So using the medical hall as a cover, in addition to purchasing medicinal materials to treat his leg disease and the strange poison on his body, is there any other use? Jiang Chengjia rolled his eyes and pondered for a long time.

The wind and the candle shadow looked at each other, and fell silent.

In the room, the expressions of the four people became solemn.

At this moment, there was a low knock on the door outside Yaxuan, which woke up the four people in the seat.

Jiang Chengjia looked strange, cast a glance at Qianshan, and then hurriedly glanced at the candle shadow and the breeze, and finally made a silent movement.

Qianshan's steps were light, she bent down and lowered her head, drilled through the curtains in the room, quietly came to the edge of the fan, vigilantly looked at the outside, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

I only heard a hoarse male voice outside: "Deliver wine and food." ”

Qian Shan rolled her eyes and gestured into the room. Jiang Chengjia got up and hid in the dark pavilion in Yaxuan with the candle shadow and the breeze.

The carved log door creaked open.

Outside, there stood a short, middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen clothes with his hair hastily wrapped in jute linen.

Qian Shan looked at him, and her eyes fell on the food table in his hand.

The ceramic bowl is obscured by a delicately carved porcelain cover, making it impossible to see what is inside.

Qian Shan set her eyes on the middle-aged man's face, and asked calmly: "The main family ordered, the perch fat and crispy soup, and the gui celery sprouts and dove meat have all been served?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The girl also forgot two dishes, namely Dongmen Bone with Sauce and Steamed Chicken Vegetarian Meat and Tender Belly." ”

Qian Shan heard the man report the names of the last two dishes, and the vigilance and defense on her face finally relaxed, so she said softly: "Xiao Er, please come into the house to cloth vegetables." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded lightly, and entered the Yaxuan steadily with the food table. Good

Qian Shan led the way in front and led him to the main hall of Xuan Pavilion.

"Master... The lord of Guangxin is here. Qianshan shouted into the room.

Jiang Chengjia, Candle Shadow and Breeze who were hiding in the dark pavilion behind Yaxuan slowly walked out.

The three of them bypassed the Jinmei screen placed in front of the dark pavilion and sat down in front of the long desk again.

At this time, Jiang Chengjia didn't know when he put on the veil and sat on the main seat on the right side.

She never showed her true face in front of anyone other than the helmsman of the four halls of the Water Pavilion and her brother and her close attendants, so she often carried a silk scarf covering her face with her.

After the middle-aged man finished the dishes, he sat on the futon closest to the door of the house, and then dared to look up at the three people in front of him.

This glance frightened him so much that his face turned pale.

He didn't expect that the right hall of the Water Pavilion was still the helmsman of martial arts, and the helmsman of the lower hall was here.

The two men were sitting with serious expressions, kneeling on either side of the main seat, staring at him motionless.

The middle-aged man was already sweating in shock, and then looked at the masked woman sitting in the middle of the main seat, and then met her smart and clear eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he came, and then bowed and said: "My subordinates have seen the pavilion master, and I have seen the helmsman. ”

"No need to be polite." Jiang Chengjia suppressed his tone, and at this moment he had already changed his voice to speak, "You are the new lord of Guangxin?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's a subordinate." ”

"What's your name?" Jiang Chengjia asked again.

"Subordinate Cui Yuan."

"Cui Yuan. You've come just in time, and I'm going to ask you two things. Jiang Chengjia didn't ask much, and went straight to the point: "These two days... Can Song Zong, the assassin of Guangzhou, ever come here? ”

The man named Cui Yuan said with a slightly stunned expression: "Returning to the Pavilion Master... Song Zong is currently in Guangxin City. ”

"Really?" Qian Shan asked.

Cui Yuan bowed his head again and said: "A few days ago, the top instructed his subordinates and brothers in the cabinet to mention Song Zong by name, so that once we find out that Song Zong has entered Guangxin, we will always keep an eye on his movements. His subordinates and brothers did not dare to let their guard down. In the early hours of yesterday morning, Song Zong galloped in from the side gate of Guangxin City on a fast horse. ”

Sure enough, it was after her that she escaped from Dark Cliff Village. Cui Yuan's words confirmed Jiang Chengjia's guess.

She knew that the news of Song Zong's escape was deliberately ordered by Ning Nanwei to be released to Qianshan. I'm afraid that in addition to wanting to test her, I also want to take him away from the Dark Cliff Village. made it impossible for her to participate in Song Zong's affairs.

Jiang Chengjia lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment and asked: "Guangxin has been attacking the city since March ago... The night defense was strengthened, and Cangwu Taishou and Guangxin County ordered Hu Guang to strengthen the city defense... How could someone open the city gate at night and introduce Song Zong into the city? ”

"Song Zong is holding a jade plate of assassination, and the people who defend the city dare not stop it." Cui Yuan replied truthfully.

Jiang Chengjia's eyes froze, and then he said a little anxiously: "Song Zong has entered Guangxin City... Where is it now? ”

Cui Yuan listened to his inquiry about this, his pale face changed a little, and he lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Song Zong disappeared in the largest restaurant in the city yesterday, and his subordinates sent his brothers to investigate... There is no trace of him at all. ”

Jiang Chengjia was silent. Although she knew that this was expected, she was still worried.

Song Zong is an old and cunning person, and Ning Nanwei is even more of a person who has a tricky layout. She knew very little about this matter, and if she cut off the news from here, it would be even more difficult to investigate it in detail later.

Seeing that Jiang Chengjia was silent, Qian Shan asked Cui Yuan again, "So... Song Zong galloped on horseback, could there be someone tracking behind him? ”

Cui Yuan saw that the pavilion master was not to blame for losing Song Zong, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Qian Shan ask like this, he hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

"Who? But the fine guards under the command of the Marquis of Huaiyin? ”

Cui Yuan frowned, shook his head and said, "Jing Inspector Wei is indeed chasing after him, but... After that, another group of people followed him. ”

"Another group?" Jiang Chengjia raised his eyes to look at him, muttering to himself, his face puzzled.

"Who can you find out?" Qian Shan asked.

Cui Yuan clenched his fists and told the truth: "My subordinates sent someone to check the origin of that group... Although they were dressed in Central Plains costumes, they wore ivory ornaments around their necks and wrists... It seems to be a person from the Champa country. ”
