Most of the soldiers died in the capture, but the two Qing'er girls were only brought into the palace.

If the old man is not mistaken, Miss Qing'er's master and servant are locked up in the mansion of Mrs. Mi in the Qinglong Palace.

Because from the mouths of several forbidden soldiers who came out of the palace for recreation, it was known that there was no one living there.

But since the day the young lady was arrested, there will be people in and out every day to deliver food, and the prince has been there several times, but every time he goes, he will come out with an iron face, and he is angry that some maidservants in the palace are punished.

As for Xiao Jin's matter, we also heard from several forbidden soldiers who were drunk, saying that Xiao Jin was arrested because he rejected Xiao Zishuo's proposal to make him the secretary.

But at that time, Xiao Zishuo also mentioned the death of Mrs. Mi, Xiao Qian, Xiao Wang and the forbidden army in the Four Hundred Palaces, and said that Mi Xiao would also die, and he believed in Xiao Jin.

I guess these people must know something about Xiao Zishuo, and this matter is so important to Xiao Zishuo that he wants to kill people.

Judging from the words coming out of the mouth of the forbidden army, Xiao Zishuo meant that if Xiao Jin didn't agree to his proposal, then he would also die, so Mr. Gu, can you guess something? ”

Gu Daoyuan listened to what the old man said, and vaguely seemed to have grasped something.

He suddenly remembered that when Xiao Jin came to him and Fang Hengxin to save Xiao Zishuo that day, he was indeed stumbling and spitting, looking like he had not finished speaking.

And the news that came out of the palace at that time was that Xiao Zishuo made a big fuss about Mrs. Mi's house,

Could it be that Xiao Zishuo didn't just make a fuss that night?

Gu Daoyuan glanced at the smiling old man, stood up and said goodbye to him.

He just wanted to hurry back to Zhao Zhihai and report these things as soon as possible.

Because Gu Daoyuan found out with his intuition, it seemed that Xiao Zishuo's arrest that day was not simple, and this matter was also extremely useful for rescuing Zhao Qing'er and Xiao Jin.

Xuanshan saw that Gu Daoyuan was leaving, so he didn't say anything more, he had been an Iron Eagle swordsman all his life, so he was naturally more familiar with the way of officialdom than ordinary people.

After taking the initiative to promise to find out the safety of Zhao Qing'er in the palace as soon as possible, he personally sent Gu Daoyuan out of the Purple Smoke Pavilion.

"Daoyuan, what do you think?"

After Zhao Zhihai heard all the news that Gu Daoyuan heard from Xuanshan, he also sensed a trace of the possibility of being able to rescue Zhao Qing'er.

At the same time, he also keenly discovered that Xiao Zishuo must have a handle to be mastered by Xiao Jin, so Xiao Zishuo can still imprison Xiao Jin regardless of Xiao Jin's great achievements to him.

And Xiao Jin's arrest was by no means simple, because he refused to agree to Xiao Zishuo's request.

"The eldest person, except for Mi Xiao and Xiao Jin, the rest of the people who know about the affairs of Mrs. Mi's mansion are Xiao Kun and Xiao Jin, but Xiao Kun will never tell us about it.

Xiao Jin once said that Xiao Zishuo was drunk and made trouble in Mrs. Mi's mansion that night, so the joints in this are set on the word trouble, how to make trouble, what kind of trouble it looks like, even the eldest son of Qi will be arrested, and he will almost be killed.

It seems that Xiao Zishuo attaches great importance to this matter, and even did not hesitate to arrest Xiao Jin to make the world feel that he is unkind, so once we know Xiao Zishuo's handle, it is enough for him to let Qing'er go. ”

Zhao Zhihai listened to Gu Daoyuan's analysis and subconsciously patted his forehead.

He once thought that if he really couldn't do it, he would go back and lead the troops to attack the capital of Qi and force Xiao Zishuo to hand over Zhao Qing'er, but that

In the same way, the Qin State will be particularly passive among the four kingdoms under heaven, and it is unlikely that Qin Gong, Yong Shuzhao and Fang Yuanheng will support him, so this plan is really the next step.

But when Gu Daoyuan brought a new opportunity, Zhao Zhihai had a glimmer of hope, although this hope seemed to be like a cloud, but how could Zhao Zhihai let it go.

"Mr. Gu, tomorrow you go to Xuanshan again and ask where Mi Xiao is located."

Zhao Zhihai said to Gu Daoyuan casually, and Gu Daoyuan was shocked when he heard what Zhao Zhihai said, he looked at Zhao Zhihai with wide eyes, and immediately understood what he meant.

"Wonderful".

Gu Daoyuan couldn't help but blurt out.

Now that Xiao Jin is in prison, and Qing'er is imprisoned in the palace, it is impossible to rescue those two people with his own people.

But Mi Xiao is different, because although he is also a prisoner, he is the current Chu State Ling Yin, so naturally he will not be locked in a cell, and Qi Guo is now in Tokyo to clean up a large number of Chu people, so he will not pay attention to Mi Xiao at all.

Therefore, obtaining Xiao Zishuo's handle through the mouth of the thief is the best strategy for now.

Gu Daoyuan almost never convinced people in his life, but only after meeting Zhao Zhihai was he impressed by his talent that was not inferior to himself, and he had his own insistence on following Zhao Zhihai with all his heart.

So on the second day, Gu Daoyuan went to the Purple Smoke Pavilion again and saw Xuanshan.

……

There are still two days left for Xiao Zishuo's ceremony to succeed the Duke of Qi, and after a few terrifying months, the city of Tokyo seems to be alive again in the past few days, and it is gradually lively.

In the depths of a seemingly ordinary alley on Xuanwu Street, a group of children are playing tricks outside a courtyard that seems to be uninhabited.

Who would know that the people living in this courtyard, or the people who are locked up, are the Chu State Commander Yin Qixiao, who has the largest land area among the four countries in the world.

At this moment, Mi Xiao is sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun, this originally arrogant and domineering old man has long since lost the majesty of two months ago, and some are just reluctant and lonely like the wind and candles.

He listened quietly to the bursts of laughter from the children outside the courtyard gate, like the sound of heaven, and remained in his extremely gloomy mind for a long time.

In two days, he will be executed by the Duke of Qi.

The dignified Chu State ordered Yin to be imprisoned in another country, and when he was killed, he was not in front of the two armies, and no one around him mourned for him, so he was beheaded by Qi Gong like a dog, I am afraid that he also opened the precedent of the Chu State, which is unprecedented.

Of course, all this is thanks to Xiao Zishuo, the madman, and also to the mysterious Mr. Xiao who is hiding behind Xiao Zishuo.

Mi Xiao felt that he must have offended a lot of people surnamed Xiao in his previous life, and he would be humiliated by people surnamed Xiao again and again in this life.

For the past two months, every night when he closed his eyes, the scene of six horses appearing in the sea of blood in the sunset would relive in his mind.

The look of the young man in the royal car who looked at the weak crown and Xiao Zishuo who was sitting in the car were deeply engraved in Mi Xiao's mind.

"Is God really just favoring Xiao Zishuo?"

Every time he thinks of the past, he has to ask silently in his heart.

First of all, he cultivated Quan Yu to gradually climb to a high position, became the Sima of Qi and concurrently served as the county guard of Hedong, and led the 80,000 Hedong army to intercept and kill Xiao Zishuo who went abroad as a proton halfway, which seems to be believed

The foolproof plan at hand ended with tens of thousands of troops surrendering to Xiao Zishuo.

Later, he took the battle for the nickname as an opportunity to push Xiao Zishuo to the opposite side of the relationship between the clan of the office, but he did not expect him to be clever and skillfully find a new balance between the text and the clan on the spot, which further enhanced Xiao Zishuo's prestige among the clan relatives of the office.

In the end, the princess Mi Zhu sacrificed herself and made a big situation that no one could turn over, but was turned the tide by Xiao Zishuo's men, first kidnapped Xiao Wang and Ziyan, and then rescued Xiao Zishuo from prison, and finally launched a fatal blow outside Tokyo.

Xiao Zishuo turned evil into good fortune again and again, broke one plan after another that he had been planning for more than ten years, and escaped safely from one seemingly lifeless trap after another.

It seems that God is really just favoring Xiao Zishuo.

Originally, Mi Xiao was still waiting for the mediation of the mother country or the use of a large army to rescue him, but more than two months have passed, Tokyo is still the Gyeonggi of the Qi State, and there is no news from the army of the Chu State.

As the days passed, Mi Xiao even found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers guarding him, which made Mi Xiao himself feel a little ashamed, it seems that in Xiao Zishuo's eyes, he is just an old dog who is about to die.

Yin, the dignified commander of the country, even had only four or five soldiers left to guard him.

He gave the only jewels and jade on his body to the few Qi soldiers who were guarding him, originally just to curry favor with them, so that he would not suffer too much embarrassment before he died.

But he didn't expect that these soldiers knew that when Qi Jun succeeded to the throne, they would kill the Mi Xiao and sacrifice to the sky, so they saw that the Qi Xiao gave them a lot of valuable things, and they were also serving the old man of Chu with good food and drink these days, and today they also took him out of the house for the first time and basked in the sun in the courtyard.

He naturally knew what these soldiers were thinking, but he also knew that everything was empty, so he simply calmed down and enjoyed his last time.

When he was young, he inherited his father's business, and assisted the King of Chu, who was also young, to correct his virtue internally and shape the hegemony externally.

He personally led the soldiers and horses of the Chu State to fight in the east and west, and made great achievements for the hegemony of the Chu State for decades.

Everyone in the world knows that the territory of Chu is vast, but how many people know that in the past few decades, as he launched his southern expedition, he seized a large area of land from the Baiyue people, and more than doubled the territory of Chu.

But these will all pass away with the wind.

He was captured by the Qi State for two months, but not a single soldier from the Chu State came to rescue him, so Mi Xiao also understood through these days of careful thinking, maybe it was not just the Qi people who wanted to die.

Listening to the children playing outside the hospital, he thought of his many grandchildren, how many grandchildren did he have?

No matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember.

He wants to go back to Nanjing to hug his grandson, and when people in the world reach his age, hugging his grandson should be the greatest joy in life.

After a while, the children outside the courtyard seemed to have been playing for a long time, or had found something interesting, but the sound of giggling and laughter was no longer heard.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at the busy soldiers inside and outside the house, wanting them to call the children outside the courtyard back.

But when he found that the attention of those soldiers was not on him, he realized that he had already been reduced to the status quo of being a prisoner. Where can you still dictate to others?
