After a while, the shopkeepers came one after another, and they had a dispute with the guards guarding the door at the door. The group of people arranged to wait for Wen Zhen's accomplices to come to the net, where are they willing to let this group of idlers wait in, for fear that something will happen, but they can't stand these shopkeepers desperately pestering for their own livelihood, so they have to let a few people in.

Yi Xiunian was lying on the bed, covering several layers of thick quilts, and according to Wen Zhen's explanation, he weakly instructed these shopkeepers to quickly collect the money on the account, and the shops that could be sold immediately were sold out, and those that could not be pawned were pawned, and a batch of silver must be collected and sent within three days.

He said a great amount, and the treasurers could not believe their ears.

Yi Xiunian was very irritable, he didn't explain at all, his pale face was flushed, as if he was having a fever, and while urging them, he couldn't stop muttering in a low voice: "...... Hurry up, hurry up, offer your ...... early" and nervously looked out the window," ...... Don't wait for the army to arrive, it's too late......"

The shopkeepers and the second monk were confused, and they had to respond indiscriminately when he urged them. When I got out, the cold wind blew and I began to feel that something was wrong.

Offer? Offering what? To whom?

The fifteenth master is already the future heir of the Yi family, who else is worthy of his property?

Soon someone thought that His Royal Highness King Yi and the new assassin had just arrived outside the city, which was causing panic and tension in the city.

Is it dedicated to King Yi? The status is reasonable, but the Yi family has never planned to back down, Yi Xiunian is so dignified, why should he be the first to defect?

Thinking of the word army again, everyone's scalps exploded.

Could it be that the nearby Qiu Tong army called?

There is a relatively well-informed person, so he talked about the rumors he heard recently - Qiu Tong, the commander of Huizhou, offended the god general Lin Qing for some reason, and was relegated to Suizhou to build a project, and found a trail through Shoushan in Suizhou......

After passing through Shoushan, you will arrive at Yancheng County, which is the station of the Jin Qi Army, the strongest backing of the Yi family, could it be that the Jin Qi Army has been raided, and the imperial army has crossed the defense line and approached the main city of Changchuan?

Therefore, the imperial court car, which was originally as slow as a snail, suddenly sped up, and completed the distance that could not be completed in ten days in one day, and arrived outside the main city gate in an instant?

So the elders of the Hall of Elders are inexplicably fighting all kinds of chaos?

So the most important symbol of the head of the Yi family, Danyaju caught fire and exploded last night and was completely destroyed overnight?

Therefore, Yi Xiunian, who has a high status, can get this secret news, this is because he feels that the situation is not good, and the Yi family is gone, so he simply preemptively contacted the outside and flattered him in order to maintain his status and treatment in the future?

After all, the imperial court still needs the help of the Yi family to take over Changchuan.

Once a person has an idea, he will constantly add credible factors to verify this idea, not to mention that in the past three days, there have been frequent incidents and accidents in the Yi family, which just verifies the credibility of this conjecture from the side.

Wen Zhen doesn't need Yi Xiunian to say too much, saying too much will be bad, half-concealed, it's best to make up for it.

The more the shopkeepers thought about it, the more nervous they became, and they hurried back, and while tidying up the shop, they revealed this important information to their families and friends.

After all, everyone has lived in Changchuan for generations, and no one can care about keeping such a matter of life and death secret.

The relationship between these people is intertwined, friends and friends are still friends, running to tell each other, the main city of Changchuan, within a day, there will be a wind of panic.

The bold are still waiting, the timid have begun to pack their luggage and contact relatives outside the city, some shops have closed the door and gathered together to discuss the way back, and those who have no property hurriedly find the boss to negotiate the settlement of wages in advance.

That's what Wen Zhen wants.

She can arrange for people to spread rumors, but there are no rumors, which are more true than those spread by Yi Xiunian's shopkeeper, who is the heir of the Yi family.

What's more, there are real shops that collect property.

She had to mess up the main city before she could do her own thing better.

On the bed, Yi Xiunian stiffened his body, turned his head to look at Wen Zhen behind the bulging quilt, and a dagger against his waist.

He didn't understand, how did he think that this girl was as beautiful and gentle as a white flower?

The most poisonous black spotted flowers in Changchuan are not half as poisonous as hers.

He regretted very much that he shouldn't have gone to the lake to look for someone in the lake after receiving a mysterious note last night, despite Yi Yanwu's dissuasion.

This is to catch a woman who is haunted by her dreams, this is to catch a tiger shark.

Lord Black Spotted asked him to summon a maid of the same size as himself to come in, and Yi Xiunian could only shout.

After a while, Wen Zhen changed into the maid's outfit, covered his face with a hood, taught him to call the guards to accompany him to the Yi family's compound, and before going out, he didn't forget to gently help him put down his deliberately rolled sleeves to cover the broken finger.

She also fed Yi Xiunian several pills, and in Yi Xiunian's frightened eyes, she told him lightly that her brain seemed to be frozen, and she didn't remember clearly which was the poison and which was the antidote, so she ate a little more, and ate whatever she wanted, anyway, she could always get it right.

Yi Xiunian's stomach was overturned, his fear of death surpassed all scruples, and at this moment he was very much in agreement with the proposal to go to the Yi family's compound, Yi Yanwu was there, maybe he could save him.

Therefore, he told the guards who were in ambush in the courtyard very playfully, no one has come yet, and the plan to invite you into the urn has failed, and he has just received a letter from Yi Yanwu Feige, saying that the imperial court sent spies to infiltrate the Yi family compound, so that everyone can go to the compound quickly.

Everyone did not doubt it, so they had to withdraw their defense and follow Yi Xiunian to the compound.

Because Yi Xiunian has always been widowed and sick, he was followed by a maid, and no one took a second look.

Yi Xiunian said that he had a cold, and he ordered a big car, so Wen Zhen naturally got into the car with him.

When I got into the car, a few figures who saw that the marker had already arrived but did not move, quietly sneaked under the car and the crowd of guards.

There were many more people, dressed as onlookers, chasing after them.

When passing by the bazaar, Wen Zhen also saw that the atmosphere in the bazaar was really different from before, people were walking in a hurry, their expressions were tense, and many shops were slamming their doors.

The efficiency of the Yi family's shopkeepers is really high.

Of course, this is also related to the pressure from the imperial court who is announcing the decree outside the city gates.

People on the street are whispering about the tough style displayed by His Royal Highness King Yi after the arrival of the new assassin. In the face of the Yi family's refusal, the legendary violent His Royal Highness was really iron-fisted enough, and he just directly ordered someone to announce the decree in front of the city gate, and dismissed Yi Leshi from the assassination position for thirteen major crimes. And he shot the decree into the city with arrows.

Whether you want to accept it or not, if I ask you to take it, you have to take it.

The knife that had been hanging over their heads for many days finally fell, and everyone's faces were a nervous mixed with relief.

This tension also infected the Yi family, when Yi Xiunian came to the compound, he was not hindered, the bell of the elders' hall had already sounded, the children of the Yi family had poured into the compound from all over the city, and the nomination meeting of the new elders was about to begin.

Wen Zhen heard someone say to Yi Xiunian that because the time was urgent, once the nomination was confirmed, the elders would soon be directly elected and the head of the family would be decided.

Before Wen Zhen got into the car, he had already written a letter and handed it to a latent language guard and sent it to Mrs. Duan, and at today's meeting, if nothing else, the number of new elders will be decided.

Yi Xiunian didn't have to attend the meeting, the sedan chair went in the direction of Danyaju, and was stopped a few feet away from the woods, Wen Zhen asked Yi Xiunian to order someone to park the sedan chair against the wall.

Through the sedan curtain, she saw Yi Yanwu standing not far away, a group of guards carrying the corpses out of the woods and placing them on the cart on the other side, ready to be transported out and buried.

Wen Zhen stared at the corpse, his breathing becoming shorter.

Is there any, his ......

No, it won't......

No way......

Yi Yanwu looked like the matter was over, he walked over with a straight face, Wen Zhen put down the curtain, and heard him say across the curtain: "Spread the news, just say that the imperial court sent someone to infiltrate the compound, intending to infiltrate Danyaju to assassinate the head of the family, and was killed on the spot." ”

Wen Zhen leaned his head against the wall of the sedan chair, restrained the dizziness that suddenly surged when he heard this nightmare, and tightly clasped the wooden edge of the window bar with one hand, and did not forget to clasp Yi Xiunian's vein with the other.

Through the gap in the curtain, Yi Yanwu could be seen wiping the black ash on his hands as he walked, and sneered: "Spreading rumors in the city, right?" Who wouldn't know this. It's a pity that the corpse capital was blown up into a pile of meat, and the pieces couldn't be distinguished, otherwise they would be hung directly at the gate of the compound and teach the people of the whole city to take a look. ”

Wen Zhen gritted his teeth, slashed Yi Xiunian with a hand knife, lifted the sedan curtain on the other side, and jumped out of the window.

Her people, who had been mixed into the escort team before, had already slowly eliminated Yi Xiunian's guards along the way, and at this moment, Tuan Tuan was standing on the edge of the sedan chair, blocking the possible sight from all directions.

The car window on this side is just facing a wall, Wen Zhen took advantage of the situation to go up the wall, behind the wall is an empty courtyard, she has long been familiar with the terrain of the Yi family these days.

One by one, her guards crossed the wall.

At this time, Yi Yanwu came over, turned his head and saw Yi Xiunian's small sedan chair, and said in amazement: "Xiunian? You're not in the house, what are you doing here? ”

There was no movement in the sedan chair, Yi Yanwu's face changed, and when he opened the sedan curtain, he saw Yi Xiunian who was knocked unconscious.

Suddenly there was chaos, the voices and footsteps were hurried, and the people who dealt with the aftermath of the corpse couldn't take care of it, and under Yi Yanwu's sharp order, they first went to search for the assassin who infiltrated the compound and knocked Yi Xiunian unconscious.

No one thought to check Wen Zhen and the others who were just across the wall.

When this silence came, Wen Zhen didn't have time to greet the subordinates who were looking at her with bright eyes, and crossed the wall first.

In the cart, there is a relatively complete corpse, and at a glance at the outfit, you can know that it is the shadow guard of Danyaju.

The woods have not yet had time to be cleaned up, burned by fire, shot by arrows, and cut by knives...... Wen Zhen turned his body down, his stomach seemed to be churning a whole sea, the waves were turbulent, and the waves were surging and flowing, making people's eyes red and dizzy, but his thoughts became a blank, and he only felt that the cold muscles of his body under his fingers pierced through the marrow, and his whole body was frozen and stiff.

She felt that she was resisting and afraid, but she couldn't help but turn down, like a fight, spinning the world and turning into a nightmare.

Behind her, the guards who finally blended in to meet her looked at each other, the initial joy was diluted, originally thought that Danyaju was blown up by His Highness and Lord Wen, but now it seems, is someone still folded inside?

Thinking of Wen Zhen's expression, and not seeing His Highness yet, everyone looked at each other, and each found a huge fear in the eyes of the other.

Wen Zhen suddenly stopped.

She closed her eyes and thought back to what she had seen before she was pushed out.

Yan Sui smashed the shadow guard on the crystal plate of the labyrinth.

Tang Xianzhi was turning the stone door.

Black smoke and red flames came out from under the crystal plate.

No, Tang Xianzhi is not turning the stone gate!

And the shadow guard......

How could there be a shadow guard going upstairs all of a sudden?

Wen Zhen stood up suddenly.

She ran to the woods.

……

Time goes back to last night, a moment before the explosion.

Tang Muzhi, who had a blue nose and swollen face, appeared in the empty hall of Danyaju.

At this time, there was no one in the hall, she was whistling silently, and the night birds flapped their wings back and forth outside the Danya Residence, attracting the guards to chase after them vigilantly, and lure everyone away.

And in this huge and empty Danya Ju, there are obviously many snakes, insects, rats and ants, she can even hear those things crawling somewhere like a tide, and the small sound sounds like a beautiful music in her ears, but in her vision, there is not a single one, even if she has been calling with a whistle, she can't summon it.

She suddenly looked up at the top of the stairs.

She whistled more urgently, and after a while, a scorpion scurried down the stairs.

This scorpion crawled out from under the small piece of floor that Wen Zhen pried up from under the bed, and along the gap in the stone door, he heard Tang Muzhi's call and came to her feet.

Tang Xianzhi picked up the scorpion and smelled a strange smell, she sniffed it again, and her face changed.

Gunpowder!

She immediately jumped up the stairs, thought about it, but stopped again.

She turned around and jumped down again, picked up the corpse of the shadow guard that Wen Zhen Yansui had placed at the exit of the underwater passage before, put it in front of her, and climbed up the stairs.

When she arrived, just as the maze slipped out, Wen Zhen shouted, hearing Wen Zhen's voice, Tang Muzhi's face changed, and then she heard Yan Sui's voice again, she subconsciously threw the corpse forward, so as to cover herself.

This corpse was later brought by Yan Sui, smashed on the maze that slipped out, and blocked the most violent first wave of explosion with blood and flesh.

Yan Sui originally wanted to attract shadow guards, but he didn't want Tang Muzhi to have already arrived.

Wen Zhen was then pushed out, smashed the long window, and fell into the lake.

The moment she was pushed out, her eyes only focused on Yan Sui, and she didn't notice Tang Muzhi on the lower floor of the stairs at all.

And Tang Muzhi rushed up slowly, and saw Yan Sui and the flames burning beside him at a glance.

She also saw Tang Xianzhi, who was one step behind Yan Sui and slammed open the stone door with one palm. and saw him put the stone gate on his back and pounced on Yan Sui.

At that time, Yan Sui was stuck in front of the labyrinth stone slab, and behind him was Tang Xianzhi, who removed the stone door and carried it up.

As long as Tang Xianzhi pounces, on the one hand, he can use the stone slab to suppress Yan Sui, and on the other hand, Yan Sui, the labyrinth and the stone gate will form a safety triangle, which can just protect Tang Xianzhi in the explosion.

But if Yan Sui escapes and the maze opens, Tang Xianzhi will pounce on the exploding maze slab, and be pressed by the stone gate behind him, becoming a meatloaf that is exploded between the two.

Tang Muyi's brain was dizzy for an instant.

She suddenly understood that she had two choices tonight, and two different choices would have a great impact on her, the Tang family, and even Dongtang.

Save whom? Hurt whom?

Yan Sui was in the door, behind her was Tang Xianzhi, and in front of her was her, as long as she stretched out her hand, or even as long as she didn't move, Yan Sui would have a chance to escape and let Tang Xianzhi crush herself.

If she blocked this door and didn't let Yan Sui leave, Tang Xianzhi would be able to be saved, and the Tang family would also be saved.

The biggest enemy of the Tang family has always been Yan Sui, who is at the peak of wisdom and means.

One thought is heaven and hell for others.

One is a loved one, and the other is a loved one.

Tang Muyi's eyes were splitting in an instant.

Inside the stone gate, both Yan Sui and Tang Xianzhi saw her.

Neither of them called for help, didn't speak, and even Yan Sui turned his eyes away and looked down at the maze.

Tang Mu shouted, blindfolded suddenly, and jumped down without looking back.

She can't make a choice, and she can't save it!

In extreme anger, she had a fierce and irritable attack, and even jumped off by herself.

She was in the confusion, but she didn't notice that there were two more silk cords on her waist at some point.

Tang Xianzhi and Yan Sui didn't seem to force her, but at the moment when she was confused, they shot out at the same time and tied her waist with their belts.

The two extremely smart people both know Tang Muzhi's crazy nature very well, and they know exactly what decision she will make, and they will definitely vent after making such a choice.

In this case, the only way to vent is to jump as fast as possible.

Tang Muzhi jumped down.

The huge momentum of falling from a high place immediately brought Yan Sui and Tang Muzhi out at an unimaginable speed.

The moment she jumped down, Yan Sui had already kicked the corpse on the crystal plate away.

At the same time, Tang Xian grabbed the undercover shadow guard of Yan Sui, who also wanted to rush out behind him, and his hand fell with a knife, a spring of blood gushed out, and he poured it on the broken crystal plate of the labyrinth.

The blood of the living who was killed was not comparable to the small amount of blood that came out of the dead after their death, and most of the gunpowder bullets were suddenly soaked.

Tang Xianzhi waited until now to make a move, because the maze board was in front of Yan Sui before, and he just helped Yan Sui, but now immediately, he is the one who faces the maze.

At this time, as soon as the corpse in front of Yan Sui was withdrawn, the blocked labyrinth slate immediately slid out, and once it was closed, it was another portal.

Yan Sui was already closer to the exit than Tang Xianzhi, and was quickly taken out of the stone gate by Tang Muzhi, almost rubbing the edge of the labyrinth slate.

Explosions have been heard behind him.

Tang Xianzhi's figure had also reached the front of the labyrinth stone slab.

He stretched out his hand and snorted, only having time to tear off a piece of Yan Sui's clothes.

At this time, the stone slab as thick as a foot was only a sideways distance from the edge of the stone door.

Tang Xianzhi turned sideways in the middle of the rapid forward.

Then, in the rising smoke, he suddenly saw something.

Between the stone slabs and the stone walls of the labyrinth, there seems to be a thin flash of golden light!

Tang Xianzhi stopped suddenly.

Life and death were instantaneous, and he stopped.

The cold light flashed in his hand, and without hesitation, there was a bang.

Broken belt.

Tang Muzhi took Yan Sui and fell faster.

Tang Xianzhi stayed.

He gasped slightly, and rolled his eyes.

Between the labyrinth and the stone wall, at some point, a thin gold wire was sinisterly connected.

The golden light was finely shattered, and in the thick smoke and black fog, it was almost imperceptible.

It is conceivable that if he had passed through this gap at high speed, his head would have been harvested by fine gold threads at this moment.

Yan Sui not only deduced every step of the subsequent development in such a dangerous situation, but also laid this fatal trap for him.

It is very likely that as soon as he saw Tang Muzhi, he had already calculated the next steps, and when he saw the maze at that time, he was actually in Bujinsi.

This is the most formidable opponent in the world.

Flick the command sleeve, and the killing machine will be like a sword light, and it will be incomparable.

forced him to cut off his belt and fall into a dead end.

Except for Tang Xianzhi, no matter who encounters this situation, they are already dead.

Only Tang Xianzhi, who has been in charge of the Tang family since he was a teenager and has been roaming in the wind and waves and calculations for many years, can rely on intuitive experience and wisdom to feel such a silent forest.

Tang Xianzhi didn't even dare to break the golden wire, he glanced at the end of the golden wire, which seemed to be bolted to the inside of the labyrinth, where there were still a few gunpowder bullets that did not explode.

In that instant, Yan Sui was likely to have found the loophole in the maze and bolted the golden wire to the critical place, once the golden wire was cut off, Tang Xianzhi would immediately face an explosion.

A murderous conspiracy.

He forced Tang Xianzhi to kill himself.

Outside the slate, someone seemed to be whispering.

In the last moment, Tang Xianzhi only had time to make two movements.

Then, with a bang, the entire Danyaju was shaking, and the fireworks rose in pieces like red and black crows.

……

------Off topic------

The five-body lying on the ground thanked everyone for their efforts last month.

Then cheekily reached out and took out this month's guaranteed monthly pass in everyone's pocket, caught a cold, was happy, and asked for a ticket.
