Chapter 11: The Beginning of the Afternoon (3)

An hour ago, Yuhua wrote a secret letter to Yan Zhigao, saying that when the time was ripe, he could come over and take away the Daizhou city defense deployment map, and also wrote down where this map was hidden in Xiao Mansion.

Of course, Xiao's mother intercepted this secret letter, but she didn't do anything like Yuhua to do everything.

She just split the letter in two and tore out the part where the picture was hidden.

Even if it's torn up, someone else will ask it, but what if the person who asks is not happy? Will you still touch this mold?

Therefore, when Xiao Jinniang wanted to punish the maid, Xiao's mother did not stop her and let her make trouble, because she believed that Yan Zhigao, who had sneaked in, was hiding aside and seeing everything in his eyes, and he would inevitably go to the table in the study to find the second deployment map in the mezzanine according to what he said.

Because all of this was planned by Xiao's mother.

When Xiao Jinniang was called back by Xiao's mother and didn't understand why she did this, she suddenly heard a miserable cry in her ears: 'Ah! ——’

This cry is quite tragic, and people have palpitations when they hear it.

Xiao's mother felt that the time had come, and took Xiao Jinniang to the study.

To Xiao Jinniang's surprise, there was no figure of Yan Zhigao in the house, but the blood stains on the ground made her retch.

"Ah Niang, how did you get it, Ah Lang's study was dressed up as a hidden weapon room by you, it takes a few lives to run out of here!"

"I just learned a little trick from Xiao Lang to deal with the enemy on the battlefield, this is nothing, if I let Xiao Lang arrange him, he will die today."

Xiao Mu didn't expect that the things that Xiao Guijun handed over to her were so lethal, enough to kill an elephant's crossbow arrows, as thick as a human arm, full of bows, shot from a hundred steps away, enough to penetrate an adult's chest.

"Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, in order not to bleed to death, this person broke the arrows and arrow tails, leaving most of them in his body" Xiao Jinniang looked at the bloodstains on the ground and came to Xiao Guijun's table, and saw the mezzanine of the second book, but did not see the city defense deployment map in the mezzanine.

She was about to stretch out her hand and flip it over, but was stopped by Xiao's mother.

"Jin'er, don't move, it's full of poison, as long as the body touches it, it will be corroded into bones, if I don't expect, he now has one of his palms gone"

Xiao Jinniang was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her hand and looked at Xiao's mother: "Ah Niang, you use poison so badly, are you a Breaking Bad?" ”

Xiao's mother smiled and said: "Look at your kid talking nonsense again, what kind of poison master is not poison master, Xiao Lang taught me, if you want to say that he is powerful, he is still powerful"

Saying that, Xiao's mother smiled knowingly, Xiao Jinniang could see that her worship of Xiao Guijun could not be described as a five-body throw, it was simply like a god.

"If you want to say that it is powerful or this Yan is supreme, it hurts so much that he actually took away the deployment map, is it so important to him to be promoted and make a fortune?"

Xiao's mother explained: "Who doesn't want to be promoted and make a fortune in today's world! For example, he is a small official who is twenty taels a year, and others will not look at him with the right eyes, so there is no hope for promotion, if he does a good job in office and does not make a mistake and returns to his hometown, he can still be a good person, some people think that they are ambitious, and they have no choice but to take risks.

Just last month, Dali Siqing overstepped the level and reported to Tian Xiang to denounce Dali Siqing for several major crimes, but Dali Siqing was Tian Xiang's henchman, Tian Xiang asked Dali Siqing to deal with it himself, Dali Siqing secretly killed Dali Sicheng, and declared that he died violently"

To put it bluntly, there is less money and more things far away from home, a cheap life is not insured, the position is low, the power is light and the responsibility is heavy, and the head is sent anytime and anywhere.

"A-Niang, how can you know so much about the wife of a big family who doesn't go out of the door?" Xiao Jinniang asked suspiciously.

Xiao's mother's face changed, and she said hesitantly: "Xinghuafang is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, and some things can be understood as soon as you hear them, not to mention that every festival, those official wives will also come to the door to say goodbye, and you can hear it after a few small talks."

Looking at Xiao's mother's nervous appearance, Xiao Jinniang felt that her mother seemed to be deliberately concealing, she didn't want to ask any more, and the conversation changed.

"It's not early, and if you don't chase the thief, it'll be cold, and you won't be able to ask anything when the time comes."

Afraid of chaos, Xiao's mother took a few family members to pursue Yan Zhigao according to the blood stains on the ground.

Out of Xinghuafang to the west, through Tongyi Fang, Taipingfang turned southeast through Yanshou Fang, when the bloodstains became lighter when they arrived at Buzheng Fang, but it can also be seen that Yan Zhigao's blood stains entered Buzheng Fang.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Jinniang sighed at the same time, this breath was not because they found the trace of Yan Zhigao, but because this Buzheng Fang was different from others, it was the Zoroastrian Temple of the Hu people, that is, their temple, and ordinary people in Chang'an were not allowed to enter and leave casually.

There are a total of five Zoroastrian shrines in Chang'an City, four of which are in the west of the street, and close to the West Market, respectively, in Buzheng Fang, Chonghua Fang, Liquan Fang, Puning Fang, and one is in Jinggong Fang in the east of the street.

Buzheng Fang is the closest to the Imperial City Suzaku Gate, which is convenient for the sage to take care of.

Just when the two of them were worried about how to get in, they saw a group of Hu people throw out the uninvited guest Yan Zhigao, and punch and kick him, fortunately Yuhua came to disperse the Hu people, otherwise Yan Zhigao would have been killed by them.

Yuhua hugged Yan Zhigao, who was covered in blood, and cried.

"Say that Yuhua is sorry for Yan Lang, and say that Yuhua is sorry for Yan Lang"

Yan Zhigao gasped and said: "Before I die, I can listen to you call me Yan Lang I have died without regrets, no one in this world is sorry for anyone, but when the time comes, there must be someone who takes the first step, I just chose the person who walks fast, you are still young, there are still things in this world that you are worthy of nostalgia, so please live well after I die"

Yuhua cried so loudly that even half of the people in Chang'an City could hear it.

"How can I live without you in this world, if you hadn't bought me on the streets of Chang'an and buried my parents, maybe I would have gone with Alang and A-Niang that day"

Hearing such heartwarming words from Yuhua's mouth, Yan Zhigao smiled reluctantly.

"It's all my fault, I was young and arrogant, and I disdained to be the same as that group of people, so that my family was surrounded by walls, and I couldn't give you the life I wanted if I didn't buy the hairpin you wanted, and I wouldn't take the risk of bribing Tian Xiang's henchmen with money, and I learned that someone paid a lot of money to bribe Tian Xiang to let General Xiao disarm.

Tian Xiang intends to replace General Xiao and arrange for his henchmen to serve as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, in order to tie up Tian Xiang, I asked you to make General Xiao's secret stake, in order to take away the Daizhou city defense deployment map from his home one day, and let Tian Xiang remove General Xiao from his position for the crime of dereliction of duty, but being smart was mistaken by being smart, I lost the future, and I also lost you."

Xiao's mother and Xiao Jinniang glanced at each other, tacitly.

Xiao Mu said sharply to Yan Zhigao.

"Yan Gong betrayed his friends for his own selfish interests, wouldn't it be shameful for the world to know, Xiao Lang would be cold when he knew that you would be like this"

Yan Zhigao shook his head and smiled, as if he had suddenly figured it out, and he felt that it didn't matter.

"No way, I really can't help it, General Xiao's kindness to me is as heavy as Mount Tai, it was he who brought me from a grass man to the military department, but I didn't do a good job, I can only repay his kindness in the next life"

Yan Zhigao pulled out the arrow in his body, and then lost his breath due to excessive blood loss.

Yuhua shook a few times and saw that he was still not awake, so he had made up his mind, and slammed the arrow into his chest and followed Yan Zhigao.

"A pair of miserable people!" Xiao's mother and Xiao Jinniang almost spoke in unison.

Xiao Jinniang walked to Yan Zhigao's side, squatted down to search for the deployment map hidden in his clothes, and Xiao's mother on the side told her to be careful, the people she encountered within an hour of the poison would either die or be disabled.

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jinniang's eyes widened and she looked at Xiao Mu in surprise.

"What's wrong? Bumped into it? It's all said to tell you to be careful."

Xiao Jinniang shook her head: I searched all over his body, but I didn't find the deployment map, it seems to be gone.
