The night breeze blowing from Yongsan, with a hint of coolness in the mountains, dispelled the scorching heat of the twilight summer.

The 200 soldiers of the prefecture took the post station as the center and searched all over the radius of ten miles, but did not find any suspicious people.

"Aoyuki, what's going on?"

Yang Siqiao, who was staying in the post station, rushed to hear the news and saw Yang Shouwen standing on the porch with an arrow in his hand.

Yang Shouwen said in a deep voice: "When I was sleeping just now, someone shot an arrow into my house. ”

"What?"

Yang Siqiao was taken aback, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.

"What kind of person is so bold?"

Yang Shouwen shook his head and said softly: "I don't know very well, but I can feel that the other party doesn't seem to have malicious intentions." ”

"Oh?"

"Yang Temple people, please come with me."

Yang Shouwen spoke, turned around and returned to the guest room.

Yang Siqiao followed Yang Shouwen into the room, but after he entered the room, he left the two little eunuchs outside.

"You see, the arrow hit the bedrail."

Yang Shouwen stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden railing at the head of the bed, where there was a clearly visible arrow mark.

"If they're coming at me, they can shoot arrows at the bed. I believe that an assassin who dares to assassinate, no matter how bad his archery skills are, will not be ......" As he spoke, Yang Shouwen pointed to the arrow marks on the bed rail and said: "This shows that the other party doesn't want to shoot me, his real purpose is just to give me a warning, or to remind me of something." ”

"Reminder of what?"

Yang Siqiao did not refute Yang Shouwen's analysis, but looked at Yang Shouwen with interest and asked.

"Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengzhi, who had been following Yang Shouwen, stepped forward and handed Yang Siqiao a note, "This is the arrow book shot by the other party." ”

The so-called arrow book is actually to wrap the letter around the arrow rod and shoot it to the recipient.

Yang Siqiao took the arrow book. looked at Yang Shouwen in surprise.

saw Yang Shouwen nodding at him, so he opened the arrow book, looked at the candlelight in the room, and saw that there were only two words written on the arrow book: Taber.

The font is very beautiful, with a fairy charm.

After reading it, Yang Siqiao couldn't help but show a stunned look. Turned his head to look at Yang Shouwen.

"Tai Bo is the uncle of Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wen. At that time, the leader of the Zhou State, Gu Gong's father, wanted to pass on the throne to his third son, Ji Li, but Ji Li also had two elder brothers, one called Taibo and the other called Zhongyong. After Taibo and Zhongyong learned the news, in order not to make it difficult for Gu Gong's father, the two fled from Jingman together and established the state of Wu, which is also the ancestor of the state of Wu. ”

Lu Chengzhi hurriedly explained the meaning of this Taibo to Yang Siqiao.

Yang Siqiao said, "Mr. Lu." We know who Taber is. ”

"Huh?"

"I want to ask, what does the word Taber mean in this arrow book?"

"That's why I'm looking for someone from Yang Temple."

Yang Shouwen nodded at Lu Chengzhi, and Lu Chengzhi immediately bowed down and exited the room.

In the room, only Yang Shouwen and Yang Siqiao were left.

"Yang Temple people, my surname is Yang, and you are also surnamed Yang. Although it is said that we are not the same clan, as the saying goes. I can't write two 'Yang' characters in one stroke. Moreover, you are the one sent by your aunt. Naturally, I would consider you one of my own. ”

With this sentence, Yang Siqiao became excited.

He hurriedly said: "Meng Zhengshilang values it, and he doesn't dislike our family as a wasted person, and we are very grateful in our hearts."

Before this trip, the Shangguan girl had instructed the slave maid to obey the dispatch of the levy man. If the Levy Commander commands. Just say it. As long as we can do it, there will be no excuses. ”

This eunuch is actually the most face-heavy.

They themselves are so incomplete that they are ridiculed by many.

Many people respect them on the surface, but they will inevitably look down on them in private. And Yang Shouwen is sorry for Yang Siqiao. has always been very polite, which also made Yang Siqiao very moved. Now, Yang Shouwen has used his surname to bring the relationship between the two closer, which also made Yang Siqiao feel panicked.

What does Yang Shouwen's 'Yang' represent?

That is the Yang of the Hongnong Yang family, and it is a wealthy family in Guanzhong.

Even if Yang Shouwen has been expelled from the Yang family, in Yang Siqiao's view, Yang Shouwen has always been a disciple of Sizhitang. The ultimate bloodline of the wealthy family, and it is this bloodline theory that makes the children of the nobles have an extraordinary status in the eyes of ordinary people.

Yang Shouwen waved his hand and said softly: "Yang Temple people, there are no outsiders here.

I think the Taber in this arrow book should refer to the Taber Temple. In that year, Taibo established the state of Wu, and even during the Han Dynasty, Taibo Temple began to be built in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River. Just now, Mr. Lu and I were still discussing where the Taibo Temple on the arrow book is. Mr. Lu thought it was likely to refer to the Taibo Temple in Suzhou. However, there are five county seats in Suzhou. Changshu, Huating, Wuxian, Changzhou and Jiaxing...... As far as I know, there are Taibo Temples in these five counties, so I want to ask the people of Yang Temple, which county do you think the Taibo Temple on the arrow book is located in? ”

"This ......"

Yang Siqiao didn't expect that Yang Shouwen came to him to ask about this matter.

He frowned, and after muttering for a long time, he said softly: "Changshu, Jiaxing, one south and one north, you don't have to think about it." Huating is located in the southeast of Kunshan Mountain, so it shouldn't have much to do with it. Our destination this time is Suzhou; Our task, in addition to finding the treasure of Yuan Wendu, is also to find the murderer who killed Wang Yuankai.

The slave maid thought that the 'Taibo' on this arrow book should be one of the Taibo Temples in Wu County and Changzhou. ”

Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on the bed rail.

What Yang Siren said is quite consistent with Mr. Lu's speculation.

Wu County is the first stop we want to go to; Cheung Chau is our destination. I discussed it with Mr. Lu just now, and I thought that the Taibo Temple mentioned in this arrow book is likely to be the Taibo Temple in Cheung Chau. ”

"Why isn't it Wu County Taibo Temple?"

Yang Shouwen suddenly smiled, "If it's Wuxian Taibo Temple, why use this way to remind you?"

After we entered Suzhou, the first stop was Wu County. The other party can contact me at that time and then seek to meet. But the other party used the arrow book to send a message, which must have other intentions. I thought about it and thought that they wanted me to meet in Cheung Chau, and at the same time I didn't want too many people to know. And also. Another purpose of his use of the arrow book was to tell me that our trip to Suzhou would be very dangerous, and we must always be on guard. ”

Yang Siqiao, silent!

After a long time, he looked up. looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "What is the Zheng Shilang going to do?" ”

"I would like to invite the people of Yangsi Temple to go to Cheung Chau with me."

"Huh?"

"I'm not going to take Mr. Lu and Yang Jasmine over, including Dayu, I will stay. It's just you and me...... In addition, Pei Min is counted. The three of us quietly went to Cheung Chau, on the one hand, to meet each other for a while, and on the other hand, I also wanted to inquire about the situation. However, this will be very dangerous, I wonder if the people of Yang Temple will dare to go with me? ”

Yang Siqiao heard this and immediately smiled.

"The Levy Lang Hugh wants to provoke me, since the Levy Lang commands. Slaves and maidservants will lay down their lives with them. ”

"Very well, here's a letter I wrote to the people of Gaoshe and Saburo. I will ask Mr. Lu to hand it over to them, and we will leave immediately. ”

"Shall you leave now?"

Yang Simao's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Shouwen in amazement.

Yang Shouwen smiled slightly: "Time doesn't wait for me, the sooner the better." ”

"Then the slave will go and prepare."

Yang Siqiao was very refreshing, and turned around and went out without saying a word.

And Yang Shouwen summoned Da Yu, and after being appeased for a while. Give it to Jasmine Yang.

Dayu is not close to anyone, except for Yang Shouwen and Jeddah. Only Yang Jasmine is relatively close to it. Not only Dayu, but also Dajin, Yang Shouwen also stayed. He came out of the inn with a gun and a bag.

Outside the gate of the post station, Pei Min had been waiting for a long time with the horse.

After a while, Yang Siqiao also changed his clothes. He was dressed as a butler. He also led a sturdy mule.

On the mule, he carried a bag.

He tied the reins of the mule to the saddle bridge, and then said with a smile: "In this way, the levy man is more like a rich boy who travels." ”

Yang Shouwen smiled and turned over on his horse.

Pei Min and Yang Siqiao also got on the horse. Without saying a word, the three of them urged the horse to leave.

Lu Chengzhi and the others stood at the door of the post station, watching the backs of Yang Shouwen and the others disappear into the night, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The night is already dark.

Gao Jian and others returned to the post station from the county town and got the news of Yang Shouwen's assassination.

"It's all right."

Li Longji suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly asked.

Lu Chengzhi signaled to Li Longji and asked him to drive out the idle people in the house, and then handed Yang Shouwen's letter to Gao Jian.

Gao Jian read the letter and couldn't help but be shocked.

"Qingzhi is too reckless to do this."

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Li Longji, and then looked at Lu Chengzhi and said, "Does Qingzhi have anything to say?" ”

Lu Chengzhi said in a deep voice: "Ah Lang said, please ask the Gaoshe people to try to help him hide his whereabouts, and he must not be known by outsiders, he is no longer in the mission." After all, we are now in Jiangnan, and our every move is being watched. Ah Lang said that the Gaoshe people only had to go to Wu County, and he would wait for the monarchs in Cheung Chau. If he is in danger in Cheung Chau, it means that the spy is by our side. In short, Ah Lang said that please don't worry, there will be no danger for him to go to Cheung Chau this time. ”

Gao Jian listened, and his eyes swept over everyone present.

"Saburo, what do you think?"

Li Longji coughed and said softly: "Qingzhi's lonely adventure is commendable.

It's just that Mr. Lui knows what he is doing when he goes to Cheung Chau? ”

In Yang Shouwen's letter, he only said that he had been assassinated and was going to Changzhou to inquire about the situation.

As for the matter of the arrow book, he did not explain it in the letter, and Lu Chengzhi did not tell Gao Jian and others. In Gao Jian's view, Yang Shouwen is practicing the strategy of 'repairing the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark'. But he is not very clear about Yang Shouwen's purpose.

Lu Chengzhi said: "Ah Lang didn't explain clearly, he only said that he got the news and wanted to go to Changzhou to investigate." ”

"That's it!"

Li Longji showed hesitation, he glanced at Gao Jian, and said softly after a while: "In this case, then we have to cooperate." ”

"Zhou Sizhi, Liancheng, what about you?"

At this time, Zhou Lizhen seemed to be extremely honest and had no opinions.

Pei Guangting naturally didn't have any opinions. When he came this time, he said that he was a staff member, but in fact, he was ordered by Wu Zetian and Wu Sansi to carry out the responsibility of supervision. Yang Shouwen's move today was a bit sudden, but Pei Guangting was not worried. He sat aside, silent, but the night before leaving Luoyang came to mind.

That night, Pei Guangting's mother, Kudi, took him to Shangyang Palace.

Kudi is Pei Xingjian's wife, Pei Guangting's biological mother, and Wu Zetian's confidant.

This Imperial Sho was originally owned by the Northern Zhou Heavenly Mansion Otsuka Zai.

If it is explained according to the Tang Liudian compiled by Li Linfu, Yuzheng is equivalent to the position of Zhongshusheren.

However, this royal official of the Kudi clan does not belong to Zhongshu Province, but Wu Zetian sealed her position, which is equivalent to a female official, which is quite similar to Shangguan Wan'er's identity. It is precisely because of the existence of the Kudi clan that the Hedong Pei clan has not been severely suppressed. Pei Guangting was even more favored by Wu Zetian because of such a relationship......

"Liancheng, you don't need to pay attention to Yang Qingzhi when you go south this time."

"Your Majesty, why is that?"

"You don't have to ask, what kind of person Yang Qingzhi wants to be, you just have to keep silent. If necessary, you have to help him cover up. I want you to pay attention to Gao Jian, Zhou Lizhen and San Lang, do you understand what I mean? ”

Gao Jian, behind is Princess Taiping, and at the same time there is the shadow of the crown prince Li Xian.

Behind Li Longji is King Xiang; And behind Zhou Lizhen is Wu Sansi...... Of course, Pei Guangting could understand what Wu Zetian meant. Obviously, whether it is Princess Taiping, the crown prince, King Xiang or Wu Sansi, Wu Zetian is not at ease.

Listening to Wu Zetian's meaning, among these six people, the only person who is really trusted by Wu Zetian is Yang Shouwen.

But I don't know, what is the relationship between Yang Shouwen and Wu Zetian?

"Liancheng, Liancheng?"

"Huh?"

Pei Guangting was awakened by Gao Jian's call and hurriedly raised his head.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Oh...... Rokuro forged, I was thinking about other things just now, so I didn't hear what Rokuro said clearly. What did you just say? ”

"I mean, although Qingzhi acted without permission this time, although there are reasons for him, but we must report it to the imperial court."

"Uh...... It's natural. ”

Pei Guangting smiled and nodded, without objection.

"Then this letter is sparse, please Liancheng?"

"This ......" Pei Guangting showed a reluctant expression. However, after hesitating for a moment, he agreed to the matter. Because he found that Li Longji was looking at him from the side, and there seemed to be something strange in his gaze.

"It's just, how should I write this note?"

"Tell me the truth."

"Whoa!"

Pei Guangting agreed, and after discussing with Gao Jian and the three of them for a while, they dispersed.

He returned to his room, set up his pen and paper, and prepared to write down the notes. But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Can Liancheng sleep?"

Pei Guangting was stunned, hurriedly stood up, walked to the door and opened the door.

Under the moonlight, I saw Li Longji standing outside the door, looking at Pei Guangting with a smile and saying, "Liancheng, I have something to say to you." (To be continued.) )
