Chapter 202: Broken Arrow

"Goo-goo...... Goo ......"

When he came out of the general's tent, he saw a white dove hovering in the air.

"Is it a carrier pigeon?" Yan Suwen asked casually, not wanting the white pigeon to flutter its wings and land on the grass in front of her, tilting its head, and continuing to coo at her, cooing.

"What a spiritual little thing." Yan Suwen handed the medicine box to Jiang Li, and he squatted down against the white pigeon. The little white dove tilted its head to look at her for a moment, flapped its wings, and flew to her shoulder. On the leg of the little white dove, a small roll of things was tied.

"This is the carrier pigeon of the Ebony Gang." Jiang Li stared at the little white pigeon's legs, which were a kind of black that was deliberately smeared with something.

Yan Suwen took down the letter tied to the little white pigeon and opened it, with only three words: "Yuejianglou." ”

"There's only one name, do you know this place?" Yan Suwen showed the letter to Jiang Li.

"This is a restaurant in Nanshu, the business is very good, and the people who come and go are both rich and noble. There is also a saying that Yuejiang Tower is the private building of the Nanshu Emperor, called the restaurant, which is actually a place to collect intelligence. This building is full of killers, and even the shopkeeper who serves the food is a first-class master. ”

"How's the meal? Is it tasty? ”

"That's all Madame cares about?"

"Or else?" Yan Suwen looked at Jiang Li's eyes and asked: "The Leng Jiao I know is not the kind of person who is reckless and careless, since he asked me to meet in this Yuejiang Tower, he must have decided that this place is safe." Since it is safe, I have come all the way to it, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't eat better. ”

"Madame, isn't she afraid of being a trap?"

"Traps? Catch me? If this is the plan of the Nanshu people, then they are simply stupid. Not to mention whether they can catch me, and even if they do, what can they do? Can they guarantee that they will bring me to my husband alive and use my life to force him to submit? If Fujun really cares about me, when he sees my corpse, he will only use the entire Nanshu to bury me, if he doesn't care about me, what does it matter if my life and death are for him? Great Wei is still Great Wei, Nanshu is still Nanshu, there will be no change. ”

"Madame is really not afraid of death?"

"I am a human being, how can a human being not be afraid of death, but if you are afraid, can you not die?" Yan Suwen shrugged his shoulders slightly: "People will die after all, so you can't do nothing because you're afraid of death." ”

"What Madame said is that we can't just do nothing because we're afraid of death. Since the people of Nanshu can sneak into our Great Wei and kidnap the old lady, why should we be afraid to go around their Nanshu capital. If we are lucky, we can also sneak into the palace and arrest the dog emperor of Nanshu, and just use him as a hostage to exchange the old lady with Nanshu. ”

"That's a good idea." Yan Suwen stretched out his hand and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up: "Get ready, let's go to Nanshu." Oh, no, it should be said, let's go to Yuejiang Tower for dinner. ”

Although Yan Suwen was half a military doctor, she was not in charge of the barracks, so she casually found an excuse to go out to buy medicine, and left the camp with Jiang Li. found an inn and changed his clothes, and the original handsome young man became a mediocre little woman.

Because of the battle just now, the city gate guards are still very strict, but fortunately, Yan Suwen has the token given by Xu Dewang in his hand, and he gave the city gate smoothly. Outside the city, there is no new green in early spring, and like the city, it is full of sores after the war, and even the small spring light has a faint murderous aura.

Less than a mile out of the city, I saw two people dressed as beggars each holding a horse and waiting on the side of the road, and when they saw Yan Su asking them to come over, they led the horse forward and asked, "But Doctor Yan from the city?" ”

"Yes!"

"This is the fast horse that my gang master asked us to prepare for the two of us, and along this road go straight ahead, there will be an inn about ten miles away. There is a carriage prepared in the inn for Dr. Yan and his entourage to transfer. If Dr. Yan doesn't want to take the carriage, he can also ride directly to Nanshu, and along the way, there are people in our help to take care of him. ”

"I said that I am Dr. Yan, and you will believe it, what if I am not?"

The two beggars smiled and said, "My helper said that Dr. Yan has a medicinal fragrance on his body, and this medicinal fragrance cannot be dyed on his body in a day or two, and there is no other doctor on him. Moreover, the battle between Great Wei and Nanshu had just ended, and at this time, there was no one else who could come out of that city except for Doctor Yan. We beggars, we can't do anything else, but we still have the skill to recognize people. Doctor Yan, please, this girl, please. ”

"No wonder your Wuyi Gang can become the number one gang in the world, these eyes are all very poisonous."

"Dr. Xie Yan compliments." The two beggars lowered their hands, Yan Suwen was no longer polite, handed the reins of one of the horses to Jiang Li, and turned over on the horse neatly: "Yan Suwen thanked the two eldest brothers, if there is a chance, Su Wen invites the two eldest brothers to drink." ”

"Doctor Yan is polite, please hurry as soon as possible. From here to Nanshu, it will take four or five days to travel quickly. In the inn ahead, the helper had ordered someone to prepare dry food and coils for the two of them. "Zero Zero Book House

"Thank you!" It would seem a little deliberate to talk more, Yan Suwen raised his hand to thank him, and then rode away, followed by Jiang Li.

The scenery of Nanshu is different from that of Dawei, and every thing and scenery is very southern characteristics. The capital city of Nanshu is black as a whole, and it is a wooden structure except for the city wall.

When I arrived in the city, I didn't need to ask much, and I found Yuejiang Tower.

"Li'er has been to this Nanshu capital before? How do you feel deserted, and you don't have the appearance of a capital at all? ”

"Didn't Madame see what hung over the door?" Jiang Li pointed to a family and asked Yan Su.

The door of the house was closed, but a broken arrow was hung from the door. Looking to the side, the same broken arrow was hung on the door of a house not far in the middle.

"This broken arrow represents a person." Jiang Li explained: "The people of Nanshu have a special custom, but whenever there is a male son in the family, the military department will send a feather arrow. If the feather arrow is there, it means that the person is there, and if the feather arrow is broken, it means that the person in the family has died. If this person is alive and has made great contributions at the border, the colorful feather arrows hanging on the door indicate that he will be promoted to an official and have a bright future. Since we entered the city, we have seen more than 100 broken arrows, which shows that the defeat of the Nanshu people at the border has been reported back to their capital. This battle almost cut off Nanshu's qi for more than ten years of recuperation, and it is normal for them to be depressed and not go out. ”

"No wonder when we entered the city, the soldiers who defended the city were also listless, and they didn't even check our forged identity documents. is so lazy, but he has failed the hard work that Leng Ye deliberately forged. ”

"Madame's voice is quieter, if it is heard by those cautious Nanshu people, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will vomit blood." Jiang Li rarely jokes, and makes this joke serious.

Like on Nanshu Street, Yuejiang Building is also deserted, and there are few people in sight. However, the owner of the store and Xiao Er didn't want to be as depressed as the Nanshu people they met on the road, but they were full of energy. When he arrived at the wing room on the second floor and saw Leng Jiao sitting there, Yan Su asked and realized that this Yuejiang Building was actually the property of the Wuyi Gang.

"This Yuejiang Tower belongs to the Wuyi Gang...... So why is it rumored that this is the secret building of the Nanshu Imperial Court? ”

"It's a rumor, but it's not credible." Leng Jiao smiled slightly: "However, this rumor has a nose and eyes, and it is also a lot of praise for this person who deliberately released the news." ”

"What Leng Ye means is that this news was deliberately released by Leng Ye, the purpose is to misunderstand and make people mistakenly think that this Yuejiang Building was opened by the Nanshu people, so as to reveal more news here?"

"That's pretty much it." Leng Jiao poured a cup of tea for Yan Suwen, and then gently pushed it over: "There is something about my Wuyi Gang, Madame should have heard some of it." Although the Wuyi Gang is based in the Great Wei Dynasty, it does not involve the party and government, let alone the interests between countries. The Wuyi Gang makes a living by collecting news and selling news, and this news is naturally not sold to the Great Wei family alone. Places like Yuejianglou are not only found in Nanshu, but also in Dawei, and in other places. ”

"Yuejianglou can gain a foothold in Nanshu, not only by the power of the Wuyi Gang, right?"

"Madame is smart."

"Su Wen is too trustworthy to be cold." Yan Suwen raised his glass, drank the tea in the cup first, and poured a glass of wine for himself: "Salute Lengye." ”

Madame's glass of wine made Leng Jiao not know whether to drink it or not. Between Leng Jiao and Mrs., there is no need to say those polite words. Leng Jiao invited Mrs. Gu to come because of Mrs. Gu's matter. ”

"Master Leng has news of my mother-in-law?"

"There's news, but it's not good news."

"Could it be my mother-in-lawβ€”"

Leng Jiao shook her head: "Old Madam Gu was indeed taken away by Nanshu's spies during the chaos in Yecheng, and when they left the city, the gang members of my Wuyi Gang had already secretly followed, but the timing was not right and they couldn't make a move in time." Worried about the safety of Old Madam Gu, the gang members of our Wuyi Gang did not follow too closely, so that when they found out that the situation was wrong, Old Madam Gu was nowhere to be found. In addition to the corpse of the Nanshu spies left at the scene, we also found something that Old Madam Gu was carrying, as well as fragments of clothes. ”

Leng Jiao raised her hand and handed a string of Buddhist beads to Yan Suwen.

The beads were re-worn, and some of them also had traces of blood staining. This string of Buddhist beads, Yan Su asked if he had seen it, and it was Mrs. Gu who often carried it.

"It is indeed my mother-in-law's Buddhist beads, and when I was first brought into the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet her, she had this string of Buddhist beads on her wrist."

"There is civil strife in Yecheng, and there are bandits outside the city, and the spies in Nanshu are Yecheng who left pretending to be merchants, so we suspect that Old Madam Gu was most likely taken away by those bandits. Those bandits are different from the Nanshu spies, and Old Madam Gu doesn't often go out of the house, they may not recognize that it is Gu Xiang's mother, if they feel that it is unprofitable, then Old Madam Gu's life can be ...... The reason why I invited Mrs. to come over was that I wanted to tell Mrs. about this, and secondly, I asked Mrs. to rest assured that since my Wuyi Gang has a branch in Nanshu, I will definitely help Gu Xiang inquire about the whereabouts of the old lady, and Mrs. and Xiangye can put their efforts on those bandits. ”

Leng Jiao said, looking at the glass of wine resting in front of her: "It's not my Wuyi Gang director to deal with the bandits, so I Leng Jiao may not be able to help much." ”
