Chapter 578: A Blank Sheet of Paper
"South of the city, Xiaofu Bridge."
The old beggar was frightened by Liang Jiulang and stammered in reply.
Seongnam? Xiaofu Bridge?
A trace of doubt flashed in Liang Jiulang's eyes.
On the side of Xiaofu Bridge, most of the people living in it are rich and noble.
If the murderer is really the 'little mute' as the old beggar said, it's complicated. The Huang family has a high reputation in the shooting of floods, but it does not mean that no one dares to provoke. Could it be that a certain big family in Shehong is targeting the Huang family?
If so, Liang Jiulang felt that it was better for him not to get involved.
After thinking for a long time, Liang Jiulang said in a deep voice: "Old Niutou, from tomorrow, you will work on the side of Xiaofu Bridge. Be clever for me, and if I see the girl again, don't disturb her, and help me find out where she lives. ”
After speaking, Liang Jiulang softened his tone and said to the old beggar with a smile: "Old Niutou, do this well and you will not be able to benefit from it." ”
As the head of the big group of flood shooting, Liang Jiulang is known for his ruthlessness.
There's no way, there are a bunch of old fritters under his hands, if he Liang Jiulang has no means, how can he let them obey orders?
The old bull's eyes lit up, and the whole person became much more energetic.
"Ninth Master rest assured, this matter will be handed over to my old bull head, and I will never let Ninth Master down."
"Good, I can trust you."
As he spoke, Liang Jiulang took the usual money and stuffed it into the old bull's hand, then turned around and left.
Little mute?
Xiaofu Bridge?
Liang Jiulang felt that this matter seemed to be becoming more and more interesting, which big family was looking for trouble with the Huang family?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As we enter June, the weather in the Shattered Leaf Valley is getting hotter and hotter.
Before you know it, the Broken Leaf Rebellion has subsided. Bo Lu fled with his family to the middle of the five crossbows, and gathered another five or six thousand people to entrench themselves in the Qarlu Mountains. Feng Siye marched westward in an attempt to fight Bo Lu. But Bo Lu was an old and cunning guy, and he didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, so he was in a stalemate with Feng Siye with his familiarity with the terrain.
At the same time, the deputy capital of the Anxi Protectorate was famous, and it was also because Tian and the crossbow were in a stalemate, and both sides had their own victories and defeats.
On the whole, Anzay is gradually stabilizing.
Wu Zhile went to Qiuzi to ask Tian Yangming for his guilt, but he didn't want his eldest son Jili Yuanying to take the opportunity to make trouble, and after capturing Kulan City, he ransacked Kulan City, and then took his headquarters to drift west, and went straight to the lower reaches of the Syr Darya River......
When Uzil returned to Kulan City, he was faced with a mess.
Jili Yuanying took everything he could take away, and Wu Zhile was greatly injured after this change.
He wanted to settle accounts with Jili Yuanying, but Jili Yuanying had already gone to the Aral Sea. If Uzile is desperate to trouble Jili Yuanying, what will be the result...... He had to stabilize his clan before recovering.
Otherwise, there will be no food and grass supply during the winter.
Yang Shouwen calculated very clearly, and Wu Zhile would definitely ask the imperial court for assistance next.
Therefore, he was ready to take this opportunity to tie a rope around Uzile's neck, only in this way could he control it.
Of course, this is a long process and cannot be achieved overnight.
But as long as he can drag Uzile until the end of the year, Jili Yuanying will gain a firm foothold in the Syr Darya region. At that time, it will not be so easy for Wu Zhile to deal with Jili Yuanying. The existence of Jili Yuanying will make a major change in the situation in western Anxi, and Yang Shouwen has successfully implemented this change in one fell swoop......
A huge watermelon, taken out of a deep well, covered with a layer of fine, cold droplets.
Cut the watermelon open to reveal the bright red pulp.
The well water has already iced the watermelon, and when you bite into it, the melon fragrance and the coolness that dips into your heart immediately dispel the heat in your body.
Yang Shouwen ate two cloves of watermelon and breathed a sigh of relief.
He washed his hands, stepped out of the tent, and looked at the poisonous sun above his head, and felt like he was in the fire.
It's too hot, it's too sunny!
He hurriedly returned to the tent again, and saw that the watermelon had been wiped out by Mingxiu and the others.
"Tang Dudu's side, is there any news?"
Yang Shouwen sat down, looked at Mingxiu and asked.
"Not yet...... Now that the war in Yutian has not ended, Tang Dudu probably does not have the energy to inquire about the affairs of the Broken Leaf River Valley.
This kind of thing is normal, you suggest that the Tang Governor rebuild Broken Leaf City, it is estimated that he will also report to the imperial court. ”
The governor of Tang is Tang Xiujing, the governor of Longyou, and he is also the protector of Anxi.
In view of the previous flooding of Broken Leaf City, Yang Shouwen suggested to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to rebuild Broken Leaf City and strengthen the defense of Broken Leaf City.
But this, but it needs the help of the imperial court.
If Tang Xiujing didn't nod his head, it would be difficult to rebuild Broken Leaf City.
After Yang Shouwen listened, he didn't ask any more.
"By the way, I'm going to wait for news from His Majesty in a few days, and then I'll go to Kunon City for a walk."
"Good!"
Mingxiu washed her hands and threw the towel into the basin.
"I'll go with you."
Yan Zhi is alive or dead, he has not figured it out until now, and Yang Shouwen naturally can't feel at ease.
This is the task given to him by Wu Zetian, and it is also the main task. Now that he has found Jeddah, the next step is to transfer all his energy to Yan Weaving. It's a pity that there is no news of Yan Zhi. Li Ke didn't have any useful news on his side, and there were no other clues except that he knew that Yan Zhi had arrived in Kunon City last year.
This also gave Yang Shouwen a headache!
The city of Kutan, which belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Heavenly Horses, is the territory of the Tocharians.
The situation over there is also more complicated, according to Mina, Kulun City is dominated by the people of the Western Cao Kingdom, mixed with the citizens of the Kang Kingdom, the Shi Kingdom, and the Eastern Cao Kingdom, the Mi Kingdom and other countries. Inside the nine surnames of Zhaowu, there is also intrigue and complicated relationships. Although the Tianma Governor's Mansion was established by the Tang Empire, it was actually in charge of the Tocharian people.
Will the local officials cooperate with the city?
Yang Shouwen was not sure, but his determination to ignore the city did not waver in the slightest.
I've even survived such a complicated situation as Shattered Leaf City, where would I be afraid of a small Sudden Discussion City?
At this moment, Jeddah suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Yang Shouwen.
"Big brother, you are ......"
Jida smiled slightly, gestured at Yang Shouwen and said, "I won't go to the city...... Mina prepares to travel to Khorasan and gather her people. It's dangerous to be ruled by the Da Kou people, so I'm going to go back with her.
Is Mina coming back to Khorasan?
Yang Shouwen's eyes narrowed, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
"Big brother, it's very dangerous over there in Khorasan, you accompany Mina, be more careful."
Don't worry, I know the weight!
Jeddah gestured to reassure Yang Shouwen.
Then, he pointed to the letter and said, "This is the letter that almost killed me......
You go to Kulun City, and help send it over by the way.
For this letter, Yang Shouwen is actually very curious.
He wanted to know what was in the letter, and it seemed inevitable that Bo Lu would send someone to rob and kill Jeddah.
It's just that he knows Gilda's temper.
It is impossible to see unless he takes the initiative to take it out.
Jeddah is very faithful, which is why he caused this disaster. Now, he handed over the letter to Yang Shouwen, which means that he doesn't want to get involved anymore.
"Big brother, can I take it apart and look at it?"
Gilda was stunned for a moment, and then gestured: The letter is handed over to you, and it is up to you to decide.
Yang Shouwen nodded and picked up the letter.
The envelope was stained with blood.
But you can vaguely see the words written on it......
"What is this word?"
Yang Shouwen found that he didn't recognize the words on the envelope, so he handed it to Mingxiu.
Mingxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know the words on it." ”
"Huh?"
Yang Shouwen was dumbfounded, a little unsure of what to do.
If you don't know the words on it, how can you send a letter? His gaze skipped over from Mingxiu, and he looked at the others again.
Jeddah is illiterate and doesn't need to ask anymore.
Mina...... If she recognized the text on it, she would definitely tell Jeddah.
Feng Changqing didn't recognize it, otherwise with his dazzling temperament, he would definitely jump out early in the morning and show off to Yang Shouwen.
As for Yang Cunzhong......
Well, when I didn't say it.
"Ah Lang, I recognize the words on it."
Just when Yang Shouwen felt overwhelmed, a weak voice came from behind him.
Turning his head, it turned out to be Yang Sixteen.
He said softly: "It seems to be the Tubo language, I used to follow Ah Lang...... Oh, when Guo Shilang was there, he learned some Tibetan language from the Tubo people. If I'm not mistaken, it's written 'Ignorance of the City of Heavenly Horses and Bones of Liegan Subash'. ”
"Sixteen, do you recognize the Tibetan language?"
Yang Shouwen showed a surprised expression and looked at Yang Sixteen.
In his impression, Yang Sixteen belongs to the kind of person you tell to go down and I do it, and it is rare to see him take the initiative.
Yang Sixteen nodded, then pointed to the envelope and said, "I have studied, so I recognize it." ”
"Good!"
Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, thought about it, asked Feng Changqing to take the fire candle, melt the fire paint on the seal of the envelope, and then took out the letter from inside.
opened the letter, but Yang Shouwen was stunned.
"Aoyuki, what's written on it?"
"A blank sheet of paper."
Yang Shouwen spoke, putting the letter on the table.
This is a caviar note that is a specialty of Bashu, but there is a blank piece on it, and there is nothing.
Not only Yang Shouwen was stunned, but even Mingxiu and others were also stunned, you look at me, I look at you, a little dazed.
"Big brother, what's going on?"
Jeddah was also at a loss, and said: I don't know, that person was like this when he gave it to me, how could it be a blank piece of paper?
"Qingzhi, this shows that things are not simple."
"Oh?"
Mingxiu was the first to react, looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "I have heard people say that in the past, people made a potion in order to keep it secret. It is said that the words written with this potion are not visible on the surface, and must be revealed with another special potion. Jeddah had said that when he met the man, he was seriously injured and was hunted down...... Then he was ambushed, indicating that the letter must have been very important.
We will only know what is written in the letter until we send it to the city of Kunon and find Subash......" (To be continued.) )
