Lan Lan was embarrassed, and she realized that Tang Yingzi wanted to buy flax steamed cakes not to eat, but to leave a clue for her mother. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt that time, the Yellow Turban Army actually controlled Handan City, and they didn't need to hide their identities in Handan City at all, and when they came to the Hu family's restaurant to buy steamed cakes, everyone could see that they were people from Taiping Dao.

"Yingzi's mother is also a member of the Dao Sect, and the time for cultivating Taoism may be earlier than your master, if she assassinates the great sage and good master in order to save Yingzi, I'm afraid it's not impossible."

General Yan was suspicious: "This is just the general's speculation, no one can be sure what is going on until they meet the holy aunt and her grandmother." ”

Liu Xiu scratched his head, don't say that Zhenyan doesn't believe it much, even he doesn't believe it very much, Yingzi's father Tang Mao personally told him that soon after Yingzi disappeared, her aunt went crazy, a madman has no family to take care of, can he survive, and can he still maintain the strength to assassinate Zhang Jiao?

Facing Zhen Yan's questioning, Liu Xiu scratched his nose with his tail finger, very embarrassed. "If it's really her aunt who took her away, then I really can't find her for a while, you don't think that my brother, who is not related by blood, will be closer than her biological mother, right? Speaking of which, it's been almost three years since this girl ran out, and she didn't give me any news, which is really unconscionable. ”

Zhen Yan also felt that her request was a bit excessive, but based on these alone, she really couldn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

"Actually, I don't need you Taiping Dao people to believe me at all." Liu Xiu's words changed, "As you know, although I and the Great Sage and the Good Master have similar ideas, we also have a lot of differences. Besides, he robbed Yingzi, causing Yingzi's mother and daughter to be separated first, and now he died at the hands of Yingzi's mother, which can be regarded as retribution. ”

"You are the retribution!" Yu Yan was furious and took the case.

Liu Xiu's eyebrows furrowed, Wang Zhi had already grown up, shook his hand and slapped him, and there was a crisp sound of "pop", which made Zhen Yan cover her face and be stunned. Wang Zhi snorted: "I don't understand the rules at all, I really don't know how Zhang Ming taught his disciples." ”

"It's okay, Taiping Road seems to be like this." Liu Xiu sighed: "Ma Qiang is like this, Zhang Ming is also like this, no wonder as soon as Zhang Jiao died, Taiping Dao fell apart, and he didn't know at all that the elders and young were inferior and inferior, and no one would obey anyone." ”

Zhen Yan's face suddenly turned red, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly took a sharp turn in the situation of a good situation, although Zhang Jiao's accidental death was the main reason, but it has a lot to do with the disagreement of several big disciples within the Yellow Turban, in order to fight for the gods, Zhang Ming, Ma Qiang and others were inextricably matched, for which they were robbed twice by Liu Xiu to preach in Luoyang, this time it was even worse, and now they are facing a desperate situation, Yuan Shao is gathering forces to prepare to enter Montenegro, if Liu Xiu sends Zhao Yun from Bingzhou to the east, then they will be really in trouble.

Zhen Yan remembered her mission, so she had to endure this slap, although Wang Zhi said that he was not a person from Taiping Dao, but he and Zhang Jiao were brothers, and they were Zhen Yan's ancestors, and this slap was beaten, and Zhen Yan really couldn't do anything about him.

Liu Xiu turned a blind eye to Yu Yan's anger and continued: "If you want me to confront Yingzi now, this thing can't be done, I estimate that this girl won't come back if she doesn't have a good time." However, I have a way to confirm this conjecture. ”

Zhenyan's eyes lit up: "You say." ”

"I've seen the portrait of Yingzi's mother, and I asked the shopkeeper about her face just now, and I can paint you a portrait of her. From the time Yingzi was kidnapped by you to the time she rescued Yingzi, there were several months in between, and she must have been wandering around Julu City for a long time, and there must have been many people who had seen her. If you take the portrait and ask among the Yellow Turban Army and the homeless people, you must have seen her. ”

Zhen Yan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded.

"One more point, I want to go to the place where Zhang Jiao died." Liu Xiu muttered, "She is not a professional assassin, she will definitely leave a lot of clues, it is less than a month now, there are always some traces that can be left." ”

Lan Lan said: "But Julu has now been occupied by Yuan Shao, and it is not easy for us to go in." ”

"Ordinary people, it may be difficult to get in, but for you and me, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Lan Lan thought about it, they were all skilled people, and it was not difficult to think that it would be difficult to get into Handan City. If you can really find some evidence to prove that it was Tang Yingzi's mother who killed Zhang Jiao as Liu Xiu said, and clear her suspicions about Liu Xiu, it would naturally be better. She and Yan Yan glanced at each other and nodded.

……

After Yuan Shao entered Julu City, the courtyard of Zhang Jiao has become where his shogunate is located, and it is heavily guarded, it is not easy to get in, but this is not difficult for Liu Xiu and them, Luo Yao, a master who is good at Burmese concealment, and Zhenyan, who is known as Feiyan, easily sneaked into the small courtyard, and in the middle of the night, they dived back safely, Zhenyan pinched two strands of silk in his hand, and he couldn't see this sè if he didn't look closely, but it was silky and silky, and the texture was still very good.

"Found behind the window, we also found the marks she scratched with her fingernails on the wall when she was crouching there, a strange symbol that was repeated several times, I don't know what it meant." Zhen Yan took the pen and paper and drew a talisman, Wang Zhi glanced at it and laughed: "This is a commonly used death talisman in talismans, which is specially used to ask for people's lives." ”

Zhen Yan's eyes flashed, she didn't know much about talismans, but the talismans of the Heavenly Master Dao were relatively clever, and I didn't think Wang Zhi would use this to fool her. With these, she had already believed Liu Xiu's words, Zhang Jiao was likely to die at the hands of Tang Yingzi's mother, and had nothing to do with Liu Xiu, at least not directly.

"I heard another piece of news." Yu Yan sat down and sat quietly for a moment: "It has something to do with the general." ”

"Something to do with me?" Liu Xiu was surprised, "When did you hear it?" ”

"Just now, Yuan Shao was talking to someone in the house, and I was only separated by a wall from him."

"You're trying to assassinate him, aren't you?" Liu Xiu glanced at her, and his heart was like a mirror.

Zhen Yan didn't admit it, nor did she deny it, she just looked at Liu Xiu: "I want to use this news to make a deal with the general." ”

"A message can make a deal?" Liu Xiu became a little impatient, "You tell me first, what kind of transaction do you want to make." ”

"I hope you can take a trip to Montenegro, meet with my master, and see the miserable situation of the people in the mountains."

Liu Xiu smiled silently: "Aren't you afraid that it will be bad for you after I know the terrain?" ”

"No, if the general wants to be unfavorable to us, he doesn't need to go into Montenegro at all, as long as the road from Montenegro to Taihang is blocked, many people may starve to death this year." Zhen Yan took a deep breath, slowly spit it out, and said word by word: "A lot of people, a lot of people." ”

Liu Xiu scratched his eyebrows and hesitated for a moment: "You say." ”

"The Yuan family sent someone to Zhuo County to visit the general's family." Zhen Yan stared at Liu Xiu's face, not letting go of any strange expression on Liu Xiu's face, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched nervously, and her voice was a little dry. "They suspect that there is something hidden in the general's background, and the general's parents are not as simple as disappearing."

Liu Xiu was startled, his eyelids raised, and his sharp eyes immediately fell on Zhen Yan's face, the silence was like a boulder, pressing heavily on Zhen Yan's heart, Zhen Yan involuntarily held her breath, only to feel that her heart was beating like a drum. Lan Lan noticed Yu Yan's nervousness, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, but Wang Zhi and Luo Yao were indifferent and gossip easily.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xiu suddenly laughed: "You want to threaten me? ”

Zhen Yan's voice was a little hoarse: "No, I just want to make a deal with the general." ”

Liu Xiu raised his head, suddenly laughed twice, rubbed his hands and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Ming to have a clever disciple like you, and he is so good at doing business." It's a pity that you're only a third-generation disciple, if you're also among the eight great disciples, you won't be defeated so badly. ”

Yu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "The general has won the award, and there are many people who are more clever than me in the Taiping Road." ”

"Maybe, but I don't see it." Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, thought about it again, touched the short beard under his chin and said, "What about you, you don't have to set me up." I know what you mean by inviting me to Montenegro, just to show me the miserable conditions of those displaced people first, and then to tie me up with your yellow scarf and force me to provide you with assistance, right? ”

Yan Yan was a little stunned, and her face flushed: "The general is too wise, Yan is really incompetent to show off his wits in front of the general." ”

"Alright, alright, don't be modest." Liu Xiu smiled, "Since I came here, I naturally got the permission of the Son of Heaven to solve the suspicions between each other with you, and of course I am not afraid to be tied up with you." In fact, you don't need to spread any news, I guess the Yuan family will also say that I have dealings with you, don't forget, Zhang Jiao was recommended by me when he first entered the court. I also fought side by side with your master in Ningcheng, and Lan Lan also served as my maid for a few months, so I can't hide any of this. ”

Zhen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped a cold sweat, she did have the idea of dragging Liu Xiu into the water, but she didn't expect to be guessed by Liu Xiu all of a sudden, fortunately, Liu Xiu didn't care about her, on the contrary, he seemed to be ready to cooperate with the Yellow Turban from the beginning. As soon as she thought that with the support of the state, the millions of yellow scarves in Montenegro would come to life, and her heart suddenly felt much lighter.

"As for the support of the state, to be honest, I can't make my own decisions, I have to go through the approval of the Son of Heaven. I don't care if the Yuan family framed me, but if the Son of Heaven doubts me, then he can't ignore it. And if you want to get the support of the Son of Heaven, you have to show your strength. ”

"What strength do we have?" Yan smiled bitterly.

"Absolutely." Liu Xiu smiled: "You have to hold the Black Mountain, make it difficult for Yuan Shao to sleep and eat, make the Yuan family unable to get out of Jizhou, and make the Yuan family regret robbing the land of Jizhou." If you want to trade with me, you have to have the capital to trade, and this is your capital. ”
