The lights on the second floor were quickly turned off, and the lights on the first floor were slowly turned off, leaving only the lights in the post hall still on.

The official guarding the door yawned and closed his eyes before he knew it.

At this moment, the post station fell completely silent.

As the minutes passed, several dark shadows suddenly burst out.

Two of them lurked silently on the second floor.

They were about to test it when there was a sudden movement in the room.

Listening to the voice, it seems that someone has turned over.

Their ears were pressed against the door frame for a moment, and several different shades of breathing were heard.

The two looked at each other, then turned and went downstairs.

Two quarters of an hour later, a fire suddenly broke out all around the inn at the same time.

In an instant, the entire post station was engulfed.

There was an immediate noise on the second floor, and a black figure rushed out of the firelight.

The men in black who were waiting around immediately swarmed up.

But the man was very good and did not like to fight, so he found a gap and fled immediately.

Someone wanted to chase after him, but the man who looked like the leader shouted: "Stop! A small fish escaped! ”

The frantically fleeing figure quickly sank into the jungle.

Wen Qingzhu and the others had been waiting for someone to come for a long time, only to see that figure threw away the soaked sheets on his body, revealing a black face.

"It's okay!" Wen Qingzhu immediately greeted him and carefully checked Xi'er's physical condition.

Xi'er shook her head: "It's okay, as Miss expected, their oilcloth contains either fire oil or gunpowder." ”

After being relieved, Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the post station.

A raging fire rose into the sky, illuminating a mile of land.

"It's almost there." Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes, the crime of burning the post station is not a small crime.

Soon, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves could be heard around the inn.

Three of the horses came in the direction of Wen Qingzhu.

As soon as they walked in, Wen Qingzhu laughed.

"So far!"

Fu Lie turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Wen Qingzhu, and looked up and down nervously: "Are you okay?" ”

"Of course it's okay, aren't you all arranged?" Wen Qingzhu looked at the face under the helmet, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had been dyed with a layer of wind and frost.

"Well, come with me." Fu Lie took her hand and took Wen Qingzhu on the horse.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the inn.

Fu Lie's soldiers had already subdued these people, neatly removed their chins, tied up and knelt in front of the post station.

A soldier stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and reported the situation here: "General, the post station was sacrificed as a servant, and the rest of the people were injured to varying degrees. All the thieves were punished, and three of them committed suicide on the spot, and there were still three alive. ”

"Okay, take it back." Fu Lie glanced over there, turned his horse's head and left here with Wen Qingzhu.

The moment he turned his head, Wen Qingzhu saw the look in the eyes of one of the three living mouths.

It made her feel inexplicably familiar.

After a long day's journey, Wen Qingzhu followed Fu Lie to the tent on this side of the canal.

After repairing it, Fu Lie brought a strange black stone over.

"Qingqing, do you know this thing?"

Wen Qingzhu got up and looked at it, and his heart couldn't stand a jump.

This stone is an ore unique to the Yue country.

Last time, those conservatives of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom still evacuated the palace, why are they so persistent?

They were menacing last time, and it looked like they were going to kill the Emperor.

But in the end, he mainly saved his life and evacuated the capital.

Now that it's been quiet for a while, are they staring at themselves?

But if they really target themselves, this kind of small means is not quite like their style.

"Green Tao, go get a basin of water. "Wen Qingzhu probably knows what this stone is used for.

Waiting for the green pottery to come back, he carried a basin of water in his hand.

Wen Qingzhu put the stone into the water basin, and under everyone's attention, some light black lines began to appear on the black stone.

"This is ......," Fu Lie hesitated, "It's kind of like a map." ”

Wen Qingzhu picked up the stone from the water, looked at it carefully, and felt more and more that these lines seemed to be seen somewhere.

In less than half an hour, the black stone that left the water slowly returned to its original pure black appearance.

Seeing her pondering, Fu Lie couldn't help asking, "Have you ever seen this pattern?" ”

"Hmm, but I can't remember it for a while." Wen Qingzhu pinched his eyebrows, turned his head and sat back.

"The stone was recovered from the bodies of the three living people, but their identities have not been found yet." Fu Lie sat down and took out a volume of paperwork.

It was handed to Wen Qingzhu: "Look at this." ”

Wen Qingzhu put down the stone, looked at the results of the investigation and interrogation seriously, and couldn't help frowning: "Have they all used muscle-building cream?" ”

"Well, that's a strange point, so I made a special record." Fu Lie also began to ponder, looking at the hands and means of these people, and he didn't want to behave like those people in the capital.

But Qingqing has never left the capital, who will he offend?

"Are they still alive?" Wen Qingzhu had an idea in his heart, but he still decided to go and see it for himself.

"Good!"

Fu Lie put away the paperwork, turned around and took her to the dungeon where the prisoner was being held.

The gloomy and dark dungeon is full of grumbling and groaning.

Walking through the corridors of the dungeon, countless chills are coming from all directions.

Wen Qingzhu wore a power gourd, and even deliberately passed a cloak, but she was still a little uncomfortable.

The dungeon was close to the riverbank, and there was a layer of water stains on the ground, which was getting colder and colder.

She tugged at her cloak, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Fu Lie watched her movements and asked softly, "Is it cold?" 22 Literary Network

"It's fine." Wen Qingzhu knew very well in her heart that she just thought of those bad memories.

Fu Lie didn't speak, quietly approached a few points, and began to run his internal force.

When they finally arrived at the place where the three men were being held, the torches on the walls dispelled some of the cold.

Wen Qingzhu walked over and took a closer look at the faces of the three people.

When her fingertips touched the third person, the person suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp and cold gaze seemed to penetrate Wen Qingzhu.

This look......

Wen Qingzhu really wanted to speak, but the corners of the man's stiff mouth twitched strangely.

She felt a pang in her heart and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Just as he was about to retreat, Fu Lie had already stepped forward, pulled Wen Qingzhu around, and turned his back to block the venom squirting out of the man's mouth.

With two sizzling sounds, Fu Lie's outer iron armor was rapidly corroded.

"Quick! Take off this outer armor! As soon as Wen Qingzhu smelled the venom, he immediately shouted.

The two of them retreated in unison, and Fu Lie quickly took off the outer layer of armor.

But this venom was so powerful that it corroded and penetrated half a centimeter thick iron armor in just a few moments.

The outer shirt inside was also corroded in two.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu did not hesitate, took out the dagger, and cut off the fabric of the corroded round of clothes.

After careful inspection, Wen Qingzhu confirmed that there was no problem, and then turned his head.

It was found that the man was dead.

He shrugged his head, the bottom half of his mouth corroded black.

The rich fishy smell spreads constantly.

Fu Lie ordered in a deep voice: "Take him away and check him again thoroughly." ”

The jailer behind him immediately stepped forward, carefully confirmed that the man was dead, and then loosened the chain and carried him away.

After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu looked at the back armor on the table, which had been corroded so quickly.

There was a familiar smell in the cold and wet air.

There was sulfuric acid in this poison, how did the man avoid the investigation, and how did he know that she had returned?

Thinking back on everything after leaving the capital, Wen Qingzhu suddenly remembered the situation of Jiang Yue's first hunting after the death of Empress Zheng.

That time it was the radical faction of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom who attempted to assassinate Jiang Yue.

Wen Qingzhu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Fu Lie: "I know, they are still those people from the remnants of the Yue Kingdom last time." ”

"Why are you eyeing you?" Fu Lie was puzzled.

Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly: "They originally wanted to kill me, but Lord Wei stopped them, and they started again, I am afraid that Lord Wei has passed away." But I prefer that they may be working with Jiang Yuansheng again. ”

"Impossible." Fu Lie thought that Jiang Yuansheng didn't have this need at all.

Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Last time, they moved into the palace, obviously to assassinate the emperor, but secretly they may be looking for something. ”

"What's that?"

"Treasure map." Wen Qingzhu finally remembered that the wealth that rivaled the country was that no one could stand the temptation.

If I didn't guess wrong, the paper treasure map that the Lei Yan brothers and sisters got by chance should have been in the hands of the radical faction at the beginning.

Later, the radical remnants of the Yue Kingdom died, and the conservatives came out.

The last time they had the opportunity, they could clearly kill Jiang Yue simply.

But they didn't, and instead dragged it out again and again.

Now that he is ready to move, it seems that he is still secretly cultivating the plank road, and the target is most likely the treasure map.

After all, as the high priest of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom, he didn't even want the most important divination deer skin.

It seems that there is no intention of reviving the Yue Kingdom.

Thinking back to the brief contact with the high priest before, Wen Qingzhu felt more and more that he was definitely here for the treasure map.

After determining the direction, Wen Qingzhu knew it in his heart.

Also known about this treasure map are Lei Yan and Lei Shuo.

Lei Yan is now on this side of the canal, and Lei Shuo is on the other side......

"No, we have to send someone to protect Sister Shuo, the first is the treasure map that she and Brother Yan found, I'm worried that those people will find her."

Wen Qingzhu stood up with a very serious expression.

In the afternoon, the canal is in full swing.

Although it is golden autumn, there is already a coolness.

But the workers still wore a single piece of stub and carried out the canal work with their own tools.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at it and estimated roughly.

There were at least a thousand workers working in this section, not counting the overseers everywhere.

Fu Lie stood beside her, looked at these workers and said: "More than half of the people in charge of this project are the people of the three princes, and some problems have been discovered, but they are not moving, so they are placed here, which greatly slows down the progress." ”

"Yes, how much oil and water and political achievements are in this project, they can be seen, and they are naturally unwilling to give up."

Wen Qingzhu clasped his hands together, tucked them into his sleeves, and looked at the unformed canal from afar.

With such a small amount of manpower, it is estimated that it will not be completed in five years.

Unless one person can take it down and dedicate it to this.

A person with this ability, Wen Qingzhu can only think of Jiang Yuancheng.

"It's a good project, but it can't be delayed forever, it has to be done by one person." Wen Qingzhu said what he thought.

Fu Lie looked sideways: "Who do you think can do it?" ”

"Jiang Yuancheng." Wen Qingzhu also looked sideways and looked at Fu Lie.

Her expression was serious, even with a sense of determination.

At night, Fu Lie quietly brought Wei Lin over.

After lifting the curtain, Wei Lin saw Wen Qingzhu sitting at the table.

In front of her was full of good wine and food.

Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and pointed to the position opposite her: "Master Wei come and sit." ”

Wei Lin stepped forward and looked around vigilantly, and then he lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down with confidence.

"This is a flower carving sent by Jiangnan, can you taste it, is it appetizing?" Wen Qingzhu personally poured him wine, and a sweet and chilling taste instantly overflowed.
