Xiao Yao was very careful to be vigilant about the movements around him, at least that Dewey already knew his current level of martial arts, Xiao Yao didn't dare to make any sound, just moved carefully in the corridor, listening to the speech in the room. However, it was found that the second floor was mainly the rooms of some entourage generals, but the rooms of Dewey and Kang Qincha were not found.

Looking up at the third floor, guessing they should be upstairs. Taking advantage of the time for the patrol soldiers downstairs to change shifts, he turned over again and jumped up the corridor on the third floor.

Lights are still on in almost all the rooms on the third floor. Xiao Yao had a plan, found a torch, tied the end with a string, chose a room with lights on, and threw the torch into it from the window.

After a while, I saw that the fire in the house began to grow larger, and at the same time, smoke came out of the house. Xiao Yao dragged the torch back, quickly extinguished it, and climbed onto the roof of the building to watch the changes.

The smoke and smell of burnt mush quickly elicited reactions from the rest of the room, and people came out of the room to ask each other what had happened.

When everyone saw the flickering fire, they immediately ran to put out the fire. The fire was quickly contained, and in the process, there was always a room door that did not open and there was no movement.

After the fire was extinguished, each of them returned to his room, leaving only one guard to go to the door of the room and bow down to report it.

"I would like to inform Lord Qincha that a fire suddenly broke out in the room of a soldier on duty just now, and it has been extinguished at this moment. Subordinates inspected the room and found nothing unusual, perhaps caused by overturning an oil lamp. ”

However, there was no reply from the Kang Qincha, but the voice of the school captain Kang Yong, "Okay, I know, I will sue Lord Sù." ”

When the guards who came to pay their respects heard this, they turned around and retreated, returning to their rooms.

Xiao Yao quietly moved the top of the room, moved the tiles through a thin slit, and looked into the room.

It is a very spacious room, divided into three areas by a screen, the outermost area is estimated to be the area guarded by the military generals, and the middle area is a reception room in the middle area, and the innermost area is the bedroom surnamed Kang.

At this time, I saw that Na Kangyong had already walked to the second area, and said through the screen, "Just now, a guard came to report that the oil lamp in one room was overturned, igniting the bed sheets and mosquito nets. Now the fire has been extinguished and no one has been injured. Rest assured, adult. ”

Xiao Yao listened carefully, and sure enough, the voice surnamed Kang came out, only to hear him snort coldly, and said sternly: "A group of waste." You have to carefully observe the guards and pay attention to the number of horse teams and the number of people who come and go in and out of the Miao King's Palace on the opposite side every day, so that we can know ourselves and our opponents. ”

Seeing that Kang Yong pressed his head lower, he replied: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates have arranged for people to secretly follow King Miao, and his every move cannot escape our eyes and ears." It's just tomorrow night's tea tasting meeting, do you want to attend? ”

"It's just a tea tasting conference, and it's not worth attending with the officials, so let them entertain themselves." After speaking, he laughed contemptuously a few times, but changed his voice again, "Let you investigate the matter of the second son being injured, how is it now?" Do you have a clue? ”

I heard Na Kangyong reply: "The subordinates have found some clues and are continuing to investigate." It's a pity that the two entourages around the second son seem to have some strange disease, and they are in pain all over their bodies, otherwise they can take the two of them with them, which is more conducive to us identifying the murderer. ”

"Don't expect those two pieces of waste, except for mixing around the second child to bully people, you don't know anything else. You still have to find clues for yourself, and don't pin your hopes on two wastes. In addition, what happened to the second son's injury? Kang Qincha asked.

Hearing this, Na Kangyong replied truthfully: "The second son is basically in good health now, and he mainly stays in the study every day to read, just waiting for the divine doctor to come and heal the last pain." In addition, six people were killed at noon today, and it is said that it was the helper invited by the Poison Dragon Sect to do it. ”

After a while, he only listened to the instructions of the Kang Qincha: "Investigate secretly, remember not to startle the snake, and report any news at any time." ”

"The subordinates have secretly investigated this person, this person has participated in the Wenzhi Martial Arts Competition held by the Beijing Master School this year, and the first place in civil and military affairs was won by this person, including Li Yuanxiu, the beloved son of the Prime Minister. At that time, although this person's martial arts were good, he was far from being as skilled as he is now, and he was able to defeat Daoist Qiu Ming of the Wuliu Sect at the Witch Ghost Conference. Maybe this person has hidden his strength before. ”

"In addition," he paused for a moment, then said, "A few days ago, this person also went up the mountain to help King Miao and defeated Qiu Ming's senior brother again, Han Ming Zhenren. The most shocking thing is that this person demonstrated the means of gathering qi into a sword in public at King Miao's dinner a few days ago, and for the safety of adults, his subordinates also tried not to provoke this person. ”

"Yes, this person's name is Xiao Yao, right? No wonder I feel familiar, I have heard of this person in the capital, and I didn't expect to meet him in Miaojiang. I don't know why this person came thousands of miles away to this Miaojiang. ”

Kang Qincha suddenly remembered Xiao Yao.

"This person is indeed a little suspicious, not only is his martial arts and literary skills extremely good, but he is also very close to the Poison Dragon Sect, it is said that he is a friend of Situ Jing of the Poison Dragon Sect, so he will come to Miao Jiang to help the Poison Dragon Sect. Later, he was introduced to King Miao by the Poison Dragon Sect. King Miao is now very dependent on this person, and it is said that the Sanqing swordsmen of the Wuliu faction are not opponents of this person, and they don't know if it's true or not. Kangyong replied truthfully with the information he had gathered.

"I can't imagine that this person is so powerful, what kind of martial arts realm is he?" Kang Qincha's slightly surprised voice came from inside the screen, and he asked with interest.

"It seems that it has reached the level of the legendary gathering qi into a sword, which is already rare in today's martial arts. Therefore, the subordinates feel that it is necessary to win over this person, as long as this person and the adults unite the front, it will be of great benefit to our next actions. Kang Yong took the opportunity to build yì.

"Very well, you did a good job. The official has written it down. The matter was settled. In the future, find opportunities to get closer to this person, if this person knows the current affairs, it is best to use it for me. Otherwise, we will try our best to solve it without leaving any troubles, so as not to affect the overall situation. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yao, who was hiding on the roof, showed a sneer on his face and continued to listen to the conversation between the two in the house.

"In addition, it is said that the divine doctor will arrive here in the next two days, should we bring the second son here, so that we can see the divine doctor earlier, and have more hope." Kangyong built yì again to.

"It's up to you. By the way, how did King Miao and King Peng reply? "Kang Qincha seems to trust this Kang Yong very much.

"King Miao, on his side, just kept saying that he was very sorry for the second son being beaten, and in addition to continuing to send someone to investigate, he would try his best to make up for the adults in other aspects. At the same time, Miao Wang also sent a batch of excellent tea, which are the best tea selected by tea merchants in various tea gardens this year. Yasuyong replied.

"Well, don't be polite to the old fox, just take it. Other matters were to make contact with King Miao a few more times, forcing him to continue to make concessions until we were satisfied. What about King Peng, how is it now? There was a faint sound of Kang Qin's cunning laughter from inside the screen.

The king of Peng did not seem to approve of the change of land, but he did not openly oppose it. This was unexpected. Peng's Tusi Mansion and Miao Wang have always been at odds, and we can take advantage of this to make a big fuss. The upcoming sacrificial ceremony in Phoenix Mountain is a great opportunity. Kang Yong thought as he replied.

"Well, whether it is King Peng's Mansion or King Miao, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, we must pay more attention to them, and we must not take them lightly. It's ridiculous that two little toasts dare to be the king, and they really don't know the height of the sky! This alone should be defeated, and daring to call this mountain villa a palace is simply a great disrespect to our emperor! ”

Listening to Kang Qincha's words on the screen, Xiao Yao couldn't help but chuckle, and he didn't know if this surnamed Kang was really so loyal to the emperor Lao'er or was dignified and dignified. But considering that there are only two of them here, and there is no one else, there is no need to be so hypocritical.

"Then should we go to the book and report these things to the court?" Yasuyong looked up at the screen and asked carefully.

"No, this official has his own plans. The most important thing now is to gather those things and silver as much as possible, don't be too public, and try to be as restrained as possible. However, those gold and silver jewels still have to be scavenged as much as possible, and the top is urgent. We should be careful, but we should not be tied hand or foot. If they support the transformation of the land and the return of the land, then this Miao Xinjiang will continue to prosper, and it is understandable that we will charge a little protection fee. If they don't support it, the imperial army will soon come, and at that time, no matter how much gold, silver, and jewelry they have, they will be robbed, so it is better to hand it over to us now. ”

These words were said in a straightforward and explicit manner, which was completely different from the tone in which he had just expressed his loyalty to the emperor, and if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that these two words came from the mouth of one person.

Listening to Na Yasuyong continue to build, "My lord, should we make contact with the other two people sent by Tusi?" After all, they also represent two of the four major toasts. If their stance is loosened, it will be of great help to us to divide the various ministries of Miao Xinjiang and further weaken the power and influence of King Miao. ”

"Of course, you have to contact, and the official wants you to contact it personally. Their tribe is located in the southernmost part of Miao Xinjiang, and they can first promise that they will not implement the policy of land change and return to the river in their territory, and maintain the current status. The condition was to get them to agree to the change of the territory of the Miao and Peng kings. The imperial court focused on the taxation of these two places, which was a value that the territories of the two Tusi did not have. You should contact them well, and hope that they can clearly reply to their master's true thoughts, as long as they do not oppose the court, there will be a greater reward. ”

Inside the screen, the surnamed Kang continued to point.

Na Kangyong nodded secretly, thinking that he was digesting the meaning of Na Kang Qincha.

Later, he then asked, "Is it necessary for us to contact the Witch Temple?" ”

But I heard that Kang Qincha directly denied Kang Yong's suggestion.

"Let's not touch those gods. lest stealing chickens and rice will not become a public enemy of the whole Miao Jiang, then it will be troublesome. The best way is to let Na Wu'an and Pan Li contact the Witch God Temple, so that even if it can't give us extra points, it will help us disrupt the dream of King Miao's old fox. That group of magic sticks is a hornet's nest, and whoever stabs it will be unlucky. ”
