"But...... If Emperor Zhou was not threatened and sent a large army to suppress it, wouldn't it affect the people in the northwest? Bai Shan said suspiciously.

"Hahaha!" The woman laughed, and there was a little madness in her voice, "If Emperor Zhou really does this, it will be great, slaughtering the people, will the hearts of the people in the world be stable?" At that time, if someone raises their arms and shouts, won't the Zhao family's country be in danger? ”

Bai Shan's heart was shocked, and she glanced at the red tent in surprise, although she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but she could vaguely guess her expression at the moment, and she had doubts about the motives of the Cardinal Sect in her heart, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!

"The subordinates want to see the sect leader, after all, there are not many opportunities to contact the second prince, and the subordinates hope to be able to report to the sect leader in person!" Bai Shan said.

"Bastard!" The woman screamed, "What are you that dare to question my decision?" Just do your own thing, don't do nothing, how can the great cause of the Cardinal Sect be ruined by your hands? ”

Bai Mei thought for a while, and said with a smile: "But the subordinates haven't seen the sect leader for a long time, and they can't ask the sect leader for peace?" ”

"The sect leader is in retreat right now, and outsiders are not allowed to disturb him! If you want to say goodbye to the sect leader, you will have a chance in the future, and now you are in charge of your own affairs! The woman paused and said, "You two are injured, you don't need to interfere in the future, you just need to heal your injuries here!" ”

"Yes!"

The two retreated, and asked in a low voice, "Does that woman really want to kill the son?" ”

"I'm afraid it's true!" Bai Shan frowned and said, she doesn't have much affection for Zhao Yan, the woman is right, the people of the Zhao family can't be fully trusted, it's just that girl...... She always felt that she had something to do with the Bai family. I thought of the woman's cold words in my mind again, she really didn't care about the lives of the people in the northwest? What does she want to subvert the world? Is the purpose of the Cardinal Sect just to feed the old white general for revenge?

"I have to inform Childe, otherwise it won't seem that we are too unrighteous!" Bai Mei thought for a while and said, "Maybe Childe will look at me differently!" ”

"Then take away your unrealistic ideas first!" Bai Shan whispered, "I'm afraid it's hard for us to leave for the time being!" ”

As soon as Bai Shan reminded her, Bai Mei also noticed that someone was watching them behind them!

"What now?"

"Patience, don't have any thoughts of wanting to contact that side for the time being, otherwise that woman will definitely not be soft on us!" Bai Shan said in a deep voice.

"One day, I will slaughter that woman with my own hands, and I will deceive people too much!" Bai Mei gritted his teeth and said.

Inside the inn.

At noon on the second day, the person Zhao Yan was waiting for arrived.

A man in his early thirties, tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beard, judging from his sitting posture, he should have been a soldier before.

"Brother Cong, let me introduce you, this is Brother Zhuang Huzhuang, who used to be my deputy general, who was transferred to Qizhou two years ago, and now he is working under Mu Dutong of Qizhou Prefecture!" Zhao Yan said, a smile appeared on his face, obviously the joy of seeing his old comrades-in-arms.

"Brother Zhuang!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "It turns out that the person the second brother is waiting for is Brother Zhuang!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Brother Zhuang has been working under Du Tong for two years, so he should be very clear about his affairs!" So this time, I invited Brother Zhuang to come, first, to ask Brother Zhuang about Du Tong, and then to our future actions, I hope Brother Zhuang can cooperate! ”

"Du Tong's dog thief's behavior has only been heard of below, and he is so bold as to murder His Highness, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans!" Zhuang Hu said angrily, "This person is very cautious, according to my observation, he does have dealings with the Cardinal Sect, but he doesn't trust me very much, I only recently noticed it from the clues, I planned to find the real evidence and then report it to the court, if I had known that this person dared to murder His Highness, I should have informed His Highness earlier!" ”

"Don't blame yourself, you didn't know about my trip! Your idea is not wrong, if you rashly inform the court of this matter, you will be startled, and you will also incur an unwarranted disaster! Zhao Yan said.

"Then what is Your Highness's next plan? Where you need the cooperation of your subordinates, just give orders, and your subordinates will not hesitate to go to the soup! Zhuang Hu clenched his fists and said.

"I don't want to hurt the innocent, and I don't want too many people to know about this matter, if I can take down Du Tongju, it will naturally be the best thing!" Zhao Yan said, "I heard that the day after tomorrow is the death day of Du Tong's father, he is a filial son and will inevitably go to worship in person, so I plan to ambush there, and then capture Du Tongju, so that Qizhou can be controlled, since Du Tong is cautious by nature, there must be a lot of people who go to protect it, and the maintenance is foolproof, and I ask Brother Zhuang to take your people to assist when the time comes!" ”

"Yes! If your subordinates go back to arrange it now, they will definitely not ruin His Highness's plan! Zhuang Hu clenched his fists and said.

"Since Brother Zhuang is an excuse to come out, then go back early, so as not to make Du Tong doubtful!" Zhao Yan said.

"Yes!" Zhuang Hu got up and left.

Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Do you really believe this Brother Zhuang?" The situation in the northwest is so serious, if he is really loyal to the imperial court, why hasn't he reported it? And I found something very familiar in him, very similar to the dead man we met! ”

Zhao Yan lowered his eyes and sighed: "People...... It's all going to change! ”

"So you noticed it a long time ago, so you came to him to take advantage of him?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.

Since the appointed time is the day after tomorrow, in addition to recuperating from his injuries in the past two days, Zhao Yan also ordered someone to send two letters to Zhuang Hu to discuss specific plans to appease him. You also need to beware of them changing their plans and assassinating them at the inn.

On the third day.

Sure enough, a large group of people left in the state pastor's mansion, and the leader was the big brother Zhuang, who was so blatant under Du Tong's nose, obviously not acting in hiding from Du Tong, but acting on his orders. This order will naturally not be to arrest himself, only to take down Zhao Yan and his party!

"There's really something wrong with this Zhuang Hu!" Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan had already changed into ordinary people's clothes, hiding in the crowd, watching every move in front of the state pastor's mansion.

Since Du Tong wanted to capture them in one fell swoop when worshipping his father, how could they really appear?

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan went to the back door of the State Pastoral Mansion again, pushing a vegetable cart.

The little guy guarding the door asked strangely, "Why haven't I seen you two!" ”

Zhao Yan smiled and stuffed some broken silver over: "We only have Uncle Zhang's nephew, he is not feeling well, we will do it for you!" ”

"Let's go inside!" The little guy weighed the broken silver in his hand, "Go and come back quickly, put down the dishes and come out quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Yan pushed the vegetable cart inside, and were led to the kitchen to put the vegetable cart down, and the two slipped out while no one was paying attention.

"It's because I want to find out the details of Du Tong before you act, but you want to take an adventure with me!" Jiang Xiaoyu said gratefully.

"Don't talk about this, although some of the dead soldiers raised by Du Tong were taken away by Zhuang Hu, there should still be people protecting him, we must be careful!" Zhao Yan instructed.

"I see!"

The two carefully searched for Du Tong's location, according to Fang Cai's observation at the door, only Zhuang Hu took people out, and Du Tong should still be in the house.

After a while, the two of them heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and after walking into some of them, they heard the sound of the warbler and the swallow language, Jiang Xiaoyu sneered: "Prostitution during the day, this state shepherd's life is so happy!" ”

Thanks to the blessing of the sound of those silk and bamboo, the two quickly found Du Tong's location, and the two made an appointment to go to the roof and peek inside.

I saw Du Tong drinking with a woman in red in his arms disheveled, and a group of dancing girls dancing below, he looked at the willow waists of the dancing girls with a lewd face, and sometimes fed the woman in his arms a drink.

"It is rumored that this Lord Du Tong is a well-known filial son, and today is his father's death day, so he is so debauched, and I don't know where this false name comes from!" Zhao Yan said coldly.

After a while, a middle-aged man came in, his face was dark and his expression was displeased.

Du Tong smiled and said, "Why should the incense lord be angry? Let's watch the dance together! ”

"You've already sent someone? Why didn't you notify me? The middle-aged man sneered, "Are you still afraid that I will rob you of your credit?" ”

"Lord Xiang, this is a heart-wrenching theory, how can I have such a mind!" Du Tong smiled and waved his hand to let all the women in the room go down.

"The sect leader asked me to come here just for this matter, why are you hiding this matter from me?" The middle-aged man questioned.

"The incense lord Rong Yu, just because this matter was decided too hastily and did not have time to discuss with the incense master, there is no intention to hide it, if this matter is successful, it must be the credit of the incense master, and it has nothing to do with his subordinates!" Du Tong said with his fists clenched.

"You and I were two or three years old?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "You have coveted my position as the Lord of Incense for a long time, don't I know?" I made a great contribution this time, I'm afraid that he wants to squeeze me down, right? ”

"If you want to say that, you're right!" Du Tong got up and tidied up his clothes a little, "I am a good court official, a big man, I have been pulled onto this thief ship, since I am on the thief ship, getting off the ship must be a dead word, I can only give more benefits on this ship, and I have made a life and a life!" I am a dignified state pastor, your cardinal religion can develop to such a scale in the northwest, if it were not for my protection, I am afraid that you would have been taken away by a nest a long time ago, my credit is so great, a little incense master is also stingy with me, what do I think in my heart? If you mess with me, on my territory, who can have a good life, it's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken! ”

"If the news of your joining the Cardinal Sect spreads, Emperor Zhou will let you go?"

"Even if I were to die, I would have killed you beforehand!" Du Tong said viciously, "If you are a smart person and follow me obediently, if the great things of the Red Cloak Sect can really be accomplished, I will get my due, and I will not treat you badly!" ”

"Bastard! How dare you talk to me like that, you don't want to live anymore! ”

"Again, my Lord Incense, whose territory are you talking to now, do you think I will still be scared by you like I did two years ago? As long as I can kill Zhao Yan this time, in front of the sect leader, isn't the credit enough to sanitize you? ”
