"Miss Yang Yue, can you tell me now, where did Brother Yang go?"

Yang Yue took Zhang Xiang to sit down in a pavilion, which was behind the villa, with a wide field of vision, and could overlook the huge Yunmengze lakes behind the villa.

Yang Yue asked his subordinates to prepare some snacks and send them to entertain.

She sat opposite Zhang Xiang, and after listening to Zhang Xiang's words, she looked at his calm expression and looked very embarrassed.

She didn't know if she should or not.

She knew about the relationship between the colt and her brother, but her brother didn't tell her what to do if the pony came here.

It was a very sudden thing, and she knew she was going to be in this situation when she saw the colt just now, so she didn't have time to think about it at all.

"Miss Yang Yue doesn't believe me?" Zhang Xiang looked at her.

"The women don't dare." Yang Yue hurriedly bowed his head.

Zhang Xiang waved his hand: "Miss Yang, you don't have to follow me with polite words, I know that you can't trust me like your brother, but you probably also know what your brother said to me before he left Pingzhou, if I really don't like him, as long as he is still in Nanchu, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will already be looking for him everywhere, are you right?" Although he and I can't go the same way, you should know that our friendship will not interfere with what he has to do. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, the questions I ask you are all within the scope of what you can answer, and I won't ask what you can't answer, such as what your brother left you in Jingzhou for, I won't ask this kind of question, so you can rest assured to answer my question. ”

Yang Yue thought left and right for a while, and then nodded slightly: "Brother went to Yuandu Mansion." ”

"Yuandu Mansion?" Zhang Xiang frowned: "Miss Liu also went?" ”

"Well, when we left Pingzhou, we went directly to Yuandu Mansion, and after spending the Yuan Day in Yuandu Mansion, my brother asked me to come to live in this Donghu Villa."

"Oh..."

Zhang Xiang smiled: "Then it seems that I have no chance with him, so if I have the opportunity to meet again in the future, let's talk to him again!" ”

got the answer he wanted, and Zhang Xiang didn't want to stay too long, so he got up and said goodbye to Yang Yue.

Yang Yue politely kept a few words, and only then got up to send him out after Zhang Xiang's refusal.

She really didn't want this colt to stay here, it put too much psychological pressure on her, and she didn't know what the colt was going to ask, because of her identity, she didn't dare not answer at all, because she didn't want to answer in her heart.

Zhang Xiang proposed to leave, and she was a little relieved.

"Before the horse, this trip is going to Yingzhou?"

On the way out, Yang Yue thought of Zhang Xiang's words just now and asked.

Zhang Xiang nodded: "Well, go do something." ”

"Then the colt should go early and return early."

"Huh? Why? ”

"No, I just think that it is too desolate over there, the horse is from a noble background, and he is used to the rich life of Bianjing and Pingzhou, and the people are afraid that the horse can't stand the environment over there."

"Then thank you Miss Yang for your kind reminder!"

After getting out of the door, Zhang Xiang arched his hand to her again: "Please Miss Yang tell Brother Ling a word, do what you can, if you can't do it, don't do it, and your heart is strong." ”

"Miss Yang, say goodbye!"

"The folk girl remembers, thank you for the horses!" Yang Yue bowed lightly and watched Zhang Xiang leave.

When Zhang Xiang's carriage was far away, Yang Yue's eyes showed a little sadness.

After a while, Wei Zhuang walked out of it: "Miss Yang, this Zhang Mingheng knows that you are here, and you told him that your brother and Miss Liu went to the Yuandu Mansion, will he harm our affairs?" ”

Yang Yue shook his head: "Don't worry, I know his friendship with his brother, even if his brother is here, he will tell him, he is passing through Jingzhou, he won't stay too long, it won't hurt our business, you just send a few people to follow and see when he leaves Jingzhou." ”

……

The carriage drove through the hills and rushed to Jingzhou City not far away.

Zhang Xiang's expression was calm, he was thinking about all the questions, from the initial contact between Wei Lie and Kang Lao Furao, to now.

He overturned everything that had been done before, picked up all the things that had been overlooked, and tried to connect all the problems.

Wei Lie, Yang Li, Liu Qingyin, Kang Jia, Caoyun Military Rations, Honglu Temple Mission...

How will Wei Lie return to China? What did he do when he went to Pingzhou to contact the Kang family?

What did Yang Li and Liu Qingyin do in Yuandu Mansion? Are they going to start an incident from the Yuan Capital Mansion? Isn't this a muzzle of a gun! Yuandu Mansion is the station of the Zhending Army, this is not looking for death!

Why did Mrs. Kang suddenly leave Pingzhou City? Kang Yu, Tong Jingchu, Kong Fu, Xia Dinghe and other Honglu Temple envoys are going to do what to do?

How were the ships scuttled?

What did Yang Li want Yang Yue to do when he came to Jingzhou?

All of this is so weird that Zhang Xiang really can't connect the dots.

But he always felt that there was a pair of black hands pushing all this, and he didn't know what the purpose was?

These seemingly unrelated things are actually connected, otherwise the emergence of these problems is too coincidental, but he can't find a breakthrough in the problem now, if he can find the key to a problem, then all the problems should be solved.

But how exactly do you find this breakthrough?

Thinking about all this, Zhang Xiang returned to Jingzhou City.

"Lin Feihong, do you know the master next to Yang Yue?" After entering the city, Zhang Xiang lifted the curtain and suddenly asked Lin Feihong, who was riding on horseback.

Lin Feihong shook his head: "I don't know, but his strength is good." ”

"He is a disciple of Wei Lie, the owner of East Lake Village, Wei Zhuang, one of the four guards of East Lake, Wei Lie, do you know Wei Lie?"

"Yes."

"Then have you beaten him as a disciple?"

"Beat it."

"So confident? At the beginning, the four guards of the East Lake went to Pingzhou with the owner of the Wei Village, but Yuan Shen was not sure that he could win the four guards of the East Lake. ”

"The strength of this Weizhuang is similar to that of Tao Lin in Rong County, your Donghu four guards may be powerful together, if they join forces, there should be some special means, such strength can indeed hire Mei Yuan Shen, but this Weizhuang is alone, I have a fifty percent chance that I can kill him."

"Okay, I'll give you a task, when we return to the inn, we'll set off, leave Jingzhou in a high-profile manner, and when you get out of Jingzhou City, you will turn back and sneak into Donghu Villa tonight to see if you can hear the conversation between Yang Yue and Wei Zhuang?" Remember, you must not be discovered, even if you have to be discovered, you must retreat, you must not let her know that you have been here, no matter what you hear tonight, or you have not heard anything, you have to leave Jingzhou before dawn, I will wait for you on the official road to Xiangzhou Mansion, you can catch up. ”

"Didn't you turn over the courtyard wall and make a bad impression on Rao?"

"You like to flip, isn't there a chance for this?"

"Why eavesdrop on their conversations?"

"This Yang Yue was arranged by Yang Li to come to Jingzhou, she must have a good intention, she saw me today, she was obviously panicked, as if she was afraid of what I knew, if I was in Jingzhou, she would not feel at ease, so she would definitely send someone to follow us to see if I left Jingzhou, only if I left Jingzhou, she could feel at ease."

"So you know what they're going to do?"

"I just don't know why I let you eavesdrop!"

"And what about them?"

"Whether you can find out or not, you have to leave Jingzhou before dawn, I'm just curious..."

After returning to the inn, Zhang Xiang asked the guards to pack up and set off after lunch, which made the slave curious, but she didn't ask anything, and it was the biggest thing for her to return to Yingzhou as soon as possible.

After a while, Zhang Xiang's carriage departed, leaving Jingzhou and heading north, with the next stop being Xiangzhou Mansion, the capital of Jingnan Road.

The carriage traveled slowly on the official road for two hours, and after evening, it came to a fork in the road, and Lin Feihong, who was leading the way on horseback, turned his horse's head and galloped towards the fork in the road on the other side.

This fork in the road can directly bypass Jingzhou City and go to Donghu Villa.

Zhang Xiang's carriage continued to slow down to another fork in the road leading to Xiangzhou Mansion.

"Donkey, where is Lin Gongzi going?" Seeing Lin Feihong, who left suddenly, the slave asked curiously.

Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "I'll ask him to buy me fruits!" ”

"Where is the fruit here?" The girl's face was full of surprise: "Does the colt want to eat the fruit?" So why not buy it in Jingzhou City? ”

Zhang Xiang smiled: "It's because there's no here, so I asked him to go back and buy it!" ”

"Donkey, you are really enough to toss Lin Gongzi, you have been gone for so long before you let him go back." Nu Wan'er snickered.

"He's riding a horse and running fast, and I can't go back with the carriage!" It's a long way to the north! This breath is so hot, you need to prepare some fruit to quench your thirst. ”

"Hmm... We'll walk a little longer and see if we have a place to stay, and if we don't have one, we'll find a place to settle down for the night. ”

……

At night, the East Lake Villa is exceptionally quiet, there are no lights in the big city, and there is no noisy market crowd, and the villa standing quietly on the edge of the lake is like a creeping crocodile.

A dark shadow galloped through the darkness and leaped down one hill.

The black shadow's light skills are excellent, and the speed is extremely fast, and soon it arrived outside the gate of the East Lake Villa, looking at the tall courtyard wall, the black shadow jumped up easily, and then disappeared into the dark courtyard wall.

The village was very quiet, and there was no one in the village at night, only the dwelling in the depths, and there was a faint light coming from a few of the rooms.

In one of the rooms, Wei Zhuang came to find Yang Yue, who had just had dinner.

"Miss Yang, Zhang Xiang has left Jingzhou, and our people are still some distance away, so we must have gone far at this time." Wei Zhuang reported the situation to her.

As if expected, Yang Yue nodded: "Well, Wei Gongzi, I have already treated you, this colt is not nosy, brother, although he is a colt, but he has no sense of belonging to the court, the court sacrificed his father, and he does not want to see this Southern Chu court in his heart, he just wants to avenge Zhaoxue for his father, the court is actually his enemy in his eyes, the former Chu wants to restore the country, to him come, it is in line with his heart, he can use this to consume a lot of power of the court, and he will go to Bianjing in the future, so he can be safer." ”

Wei Zhuang said: "Having said that, but he is a colt after all, we still have to be careful, there can be no mistake in this matter, otherwise you and I will not be able to explain to the master." ”

Yang Yue nodded in agreement: "So just in case, I asked you to send someone to follow him, he is too smart, I am afraid that he will see me today, suspect my intention to come to Jingzhou, and will stay in Jingzhou, and now that he has left, I will not worry." ”

"What is the news from Yang Gongzi and the princess?"

"The news that my brother came yesterday is that the military rations on Xichuan Road have set off, the escort officer is the commander of Liang Keliang of the Xichuan capital camp, and the superintendent is the two household officials sent by the imperial court, and there are about ten days to come to Jingzhou. This Liang commander used to be a member of the Hedong forbidden military camp General Zuo, because of drinking and making mistakes, he was relegated to the Xichuan Ludu camp to be a commander, these years, General Sun Qing took special care of him in Xichuan, this time the prefect of the Yuandu Zhuang sent him as an escort officer, and it was also recommended by General Sun, and when this batch of military rations arrived in Jingzhou, he would assist us, and the inside and outside should be combined to rob this batch of military rations. ”

"Well, as soon as this batch of military food arrives in our hands, Master will be able to do it in the Yuandu Mansion, this batch of military rations is just the military resources for our incident, and now the Southern Chu and Northern Liao are fighting in Liangzhou, and the Southern Chu is at a disadvantage, and it has been suppressed, and the imperial court is very anxious, and there is no extra mind to manage the Yuandu Mansion."

Yang Yue said slowly: "The families of those Honglu Temple envoys have been successful in Jiangnan, although they have not completely destroyed the military rations in Jiangnan, but it is enough to make the imperial court very angry, the news from my brother, Commander Liang revealed that the imperial court will be extra cautious about the military food escort of this batch of Xichuan Road next, and the state capitals on both sides of the river have been ordered to send troops to guard a certain distance along the coast, and he asked us to be more careful when the time comes." ”

"Don't worry, I have already set up multiple checkpoints in this section of the river from Jingzhou to Yuezhou according to Master's instructions, and Master has already planted 2,000 people in Yuezhou to deal with the aftermath, even if they are well guarded, as long as we come to this section of the river, we can have many opportunities to start."

"I just hope things go well." Yang Yue sighed softly, and then asked, "By the way, Wei Gongzi, has Old Madam Kang gone to Yuandu Mansion?" ”

"I arrived in the Yuan Capital two days ago, and with our disciples from Donghu Village escorting me all the way, I can naturally be safe."

"What about Gongzi Kang? And those people in Linzhou Mansion, did they evacuate Jiangnan safely after destroying the military rations? ”

Wei Zhuang shook his head: "There is no news of them yet, we have given them the evacuation route in advance, but according to our secret eyeline all the way, Kang Gongzi and the others did not evacuate according to the original route, so I don't know where they went now?" Master is also very anxious, and has already sent more people to Pingzhou and Linzhou to investigate. ”

"Oh..."Yang Yue sighed softly, and there was a slight worry in her eyes.

Seeing that she was silent, Wei Zhuang also gave her his hand: "Miss Yang, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

"Wei Gongzi walks slowly..."

After the middle of the night, a black shadow swept out of the East Lake Villa, disappeared into the darkness, and then far away, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, running to the north...
