Zhou Ji saw that the four of them were stunned at the door, and they also walked over, and he was also very uncomfortable when he saw Liu Nature's smile: "Uncle Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Why are you standing at my door? ”

Hearing Zhou Ji's words, Liu Nature's smile was even greater: "As soon as Hao Yang left, you called a meeting, this intention is too obvious, if Ji Wen plants a spy next to you, I'm afraid your plan will be exposed!" ”

When everyone heard this, they sighed in their hearts, this Liu is naturally Zhou Gang's junior brother, and it is no wonder that Zhang Xiaowen has a capable person like him by his side.

Zhou Ji couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back. Liu Nature's words are right, his performance is too obvious, if Ji Wen planted a spy by his side, then he must have discovered his own abnormality, and then his plan will be in vain.

"But don't worry, I will follow you tomorrow, and I won't let Ji Wen's old boy bully you!" After speaking, Liu naturally put his hands behind his head and swayed away.

Looking at Liu Nature's back, Zhou Ji immediately said to his subordinates: "Be optimistic about your subordinates, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the barracks without my order!" ”

Liu naturally put away his smile immediately after returning to his tent, and the appearance just now was pretended to be shown to Zhou Ji, in order to make Zhou Ji believe in himself, so that he could have the opportunity to kill him at the first time!

At the same time, Hao Yang returned to Jincheng with 2,000 men. After returning to the city, Hao Yang immediately reported the direction of the plan to Ji Wen.

"Lord Wang, Zhou Ji seems to have seen through our plan, and his subordinates asked him to meet, but he said in a weird way that his subordinates had ulterior motives, and his subordinates thought that Zhou Ji might have guessed that we were going to be unfavorable to him."

Ji Wen's face was embarrassed when he heard this: "How should this be good, he won't dare to come, right?" ”

Hao Yang didn't reply, Ji Wen thought for a while and said, "It's better to call Yang Xue first, she has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe there is another way." ”

The subordinates invited Yang Xue, Ji Wen repeated Hao Yang's words, Yang Xue thought in his heart when he heard it: With Zhou Ji's intelligence, it is not impossible to guess this, but even then he should still go to the appointment, after all, he needs a reason to deal with Ji Wen, there is no more suitable reason than a defensive counterattack! Moreover, Zhang Shumo sent Liu Nature over, which should be to cooperate with him to complete the plan, I believe that Liu Nature will definitely persuade Zhou Ji to go to the appointment.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue said: "Don't worry, if Zhou Ji guesses our plan, then he will definitely come to the appointment." Zhou Ji should have known about Zhou Gang a long time ago, and he didn't dare to do anything to the prince because he was afraid of the identity of the prince. But if the prince wants to kill him, then he can fight back openly, he needs this opportunity! ”

Ji Wen patted his thigh when he heard it: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." Then tomorrow we just have to do what we do! ”

Hao Yang was faintly worried in his heart after hearing this, so he immediately said: "Lord Wang, Zhou Ji is not an idle person, since he dares to come to the appointment, he will definitely make complete preparations, should we also send some more people?" ”

Ji Wen nodded: "That's natural, I'll leave these things to you." ”

Hao Yang was ordered to leave, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. So he recruited the county lieutenant of Jincheng and ordered him to send more men to be on guard to prevent Zhou Ji from sending people to sneak attack.

And Yang Xue took the opportunity to find an excuse to say that she was pregnant and couldn't see the blood, so she planned to go to her mother's house tomorrow to avoid it, and wait for Ji Wen to get rid of Zhou Ji and then return to the palace.

Ji Wen didn't dig deeper, so he agreed to Yang Xue's request, Yang Xue left satisfied, Yang Xue deliberately glanced at Ji Wen before leaving, after today, he would never have to face Ji Wen's face again!

April 13, the beginning of summer.

Hao Yang came to Cuizhuyuan early. This Cuizhuyuan is a famous brothel in Jincheng, located in the eastern suburbs of the city, although it is a brothel, but the women in it are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so it has become a place where literati and ink writers love to go.

On this day, Cuizhuyuan was wrapped up by Ji Wen, and all the women inside had been sent away, leaving all the knife and axe hands carefully selected by Hao Yang, just in case, Hao Yang increased the number of people to five hundred!

Just when Hao Yang was anxiously waiting, the county lieutenant hurriedly found him: "Lord Hao, when the subordinates were patrolling, they found some people slowly converging on the side of Cuizhuyuan, you know, how can someone usually come to this kind of place early in the morning?" So the subordinates think there will be a problem in this? ”

When Hao Yang heard this, he was horrified: If these people are helpers sent by Zhou Ji, it means that Zhou Ji has been prepared!

Thinking of this, Hao Yang immediately said to the county lieutenant: "You lead people to guard near Cuizhuyuan, as long as there are suspicious people approaching, arrest them immediately!" ”

How dare the county lieutenant be lazy, he immediately brought a thousand men and horses to start arresting people according to Hao Yang's orders, although this was a bit reckless, but it directly restrained the manpower arranged by Zhou Ji.

On the other side, Yang Xue left the palace early and rushed to the courtyard where her family lived, and Ji Wen specially sent a team of people to follow her in case of accidents.

When he came to the courtyard, Yang Xue immediately asked Lin Hao to gather everyone's family, and when Lin Hao heard it, he thought that Yang Xue might be running away with everyone, and he was worried.

Mrs. Lin was still angry with Yang Xue, so she asked, "Why did you ask your grandfather to gather all the family members?" If you want to take everyone to Zhang Shumo, I will die here now! ”

When Yang Xue heard this, she dared to tell the truth, so she had to say: "Mother, I heard that Ji Wen sent someone to guard everyone and not let everyone out, so this time I specially took everyone out to relax." ”

Everyone looked at Yang Xue suspiciously, not believing her words. Lin Hao said directly: "Yang Xue, I advise you to give up the idea of escaping, if you let Ji Wen know, he will kill us all!" If you want to die, you can do it, but you can't drag my Lin family to accompany you to the funeral! ”

Yang Xue closed her eyes and took a deep breath, since they were so afraid of death, she had no choice but to make this decision.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue directly changed her attitude: "Let me tell you the truth, I offended Ji Wen's eldest wife, she is going to kill our whole family now, anyway, I am going to escape, you can go or not!" ”

After speaking, Yang Xue turned around and left. As soon as everyone saw this posture, who dared to stay, they rushed to follow Yang Xue and ran out.

The guards who followed Yang Xue were a little embarrassed when they saw this posture, so they said to Yang Xue: "Mrs. Yang, what do you want?" ”

Yang Xue glanced at him: "Can't I take my family out for a trip?" Didn't you want to let you follow, afraid that we wouldn't be able to escape? ”。

The guards knew that Yang Xue was pregnant, and now that she was being favored, they didn't dare to object, so they had to obediently follow behind Yang Xue. So Yang Xue successfully brought the family out and set off to the agreed mountain village.

Lin Hao walked at the back of the team, feeling uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but think in his heart: If Ji Wen's original partner just wanted to deal with Yang Xue, would he take the initiative to tie Yang Xue back in exchange for the life of the family?
