Chapter 409: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Seeing Han Teng help Hu Lu'an to leave, Yongzhen and Yu'er finally appeared from the shadows to meet Zhang Lie and the three.

Zhang Lie touched the thick beard on his chin and asked, "Miss Yongzhen, has the plan been achieved?" ”

Yongzhen replied with some uncertainty: "If you can't let Dugu Ningke show her true face on the spot, she can only be regarded as halfway, she is too vigilant." ”

Zhang Lie sighed and said, "With the mind of Master Yuwen, I believe that he can detect some clues through this incident. ”

"By the way, Miss Yongzhen, there's one thing I forgot to mention."

Zhang Lie said solemnly: "When I left the inn, I and Little Brother Chen and Little Snow Girl were followed, and it was not easy to take advantage of the dense crowd in the city to get rid of the surveillance. ”

"Do you and Brother Lu know the origin of these stalkers?"

Yongzhen's brow furrowed: "Stalker? Starting outside the inn? ”

After lowering his head and thinking about it for a while, Yongzhen shook his head and said, "No, we have been living in a secluded house since we chartered the inn, and we have hardly ever gone out." ”

"Could it be that you came with Brother Zhang or Jing Qiu?"

"Hmmm......"

Zhang Lie touched his beard and groaned: "Before entering Daxing City, there were indeed many people who followed me, and they were the enemies I made in the Western Regions in my early years, but those people should not follow the Sui people's city. ”

"...... so"

Yongzhen and Zhang Lie looked at Chen Jingqiu and Xiaoxue at the same time.

"Really?"

Thinking of the worst-case scenario, Zhang Lie and Yongzhen's expressions became gloomy.

Zhang Lie immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the exit of the secret passage: "Let's go!" Rushing back to Daxing City as soon as possible, I had a bad premonition. ”

……

Dugu Ningke, who was rushing back to Daxing, also had a bad face.

Yu Chi Yanhong's mana is limited, and she can't move in space over long distances.

After sending Dugu Ningke out of the ancient tomb, the two immediately rushed back to Daxing City.

"Yan Hong, is there any news from Xiaoxiao?"

"Nope."

Yu Chi Yanhong replied suspiciously: "Since arriving in Dunhuang, Xiaoxiao has never contacted us again, could it be that something has happened?" ”

"Tsk!"

Dugu Ningke said with a grim expression: "We have been calculated!" ”

'Who is it?' Why do you know that I am a subordinate of Lord Satan? ’

A fierce light flashed in Dugu Ningke's eyes, "No matter who it is, you must launch all intelligence networks to catch him and deal with him!" ’

"Scarlet! Speed up, I'm afraid something will happen to the little one! ”

"Yes!"

……

In terms of straight-line distance, it must be that the Bashu region, which is only separated by a Qinling Mountains, is closer to Daxing.

But since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Shu road is difficult and difficult to go to the blue sky, and it is not easy to bypass the rugged mountain roads in the Bashu region.

In contrast, from Dunhuang to Daxing, you can always run at full speed on the vast Gobi and plains.

Lu Xiao, who was sitting in Daxing, unexpectedly waited for Shangguan Zhenyuan, who was in the dust, and saw him ride a horse and carry the coffin straight to the Taishi Mansion.

Dugu Ningke was not much slower, Shangguan Zhenyuan only returned to the city in the morning, and in the afternoon she and Yu Chi Yanhong hurried back on a thousand-mile horse given by Yang Guang.

Although it was only a few hours late, even a few minutes late in the most critical period of intelligence warfare would have a huge impact on the final outcome.

Taishifu

With a solemn expression, Yuwen Tuo pointed the Xuanyuan Sword at Shan Xiaoxiao's corpse, which showed no signs of corruption.

The Xuanyuan Sword is a symbol of power among the ten major artifacts, a sword of the Holy Way to drive away evil and punish evil.

The moment it was touched by the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, the small corpse immediately turned into its original form and turned into a broken jade-colored pipa.

"It's really a jade pipa essence."

Yuwen Tuo's face was cloudy, and his small spirit identity made his mood very complicated.

'The maid is a monster that has cultivated for thousands of years and turned into a human form, will the county lord know nothing about it? ’

Could it be that the mysterious man who delivered the message before said it was true? The county lord has long been possessed by the female demon general sent by the Western Demon King? ’

"Taishi."

A Taishi Mansion guard suddenly reported at the door: "Lord Dugu asks to see you." ”

"Heh~ It's really fast."

Yuwen Tuo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Let's just say that I am occasionally infected with the cold, and it is inconvenient to meet guests for the time being." ”

"Yes."

Yuwen Tuo's bitter expression made Shangguan Zhenyuan a little unbearable: "Taishi, maybe the county lord doesn't know about this matter......

Raising his hand to stop Shangguan Zhenyuan's comfort, Yuwen Tuo sorted out his emotions and regained his resolute look: "General Shangguan, not long ago, the county lord suddenly proposed to His Majesty that he wanted to go to the Bashu region to enjoy the mountains and rivers. ”

"With this incident, would you think that her trip was just a coincidence?"

Shangguan Zhenyuan: "This ......"

As the noise outside the gate of the Taishi Mansion gradually faded away, Yuwen Tuo retracted his mind and continued to correct the documents.

"Wait, when General Han Teng and Hu Lu'an return, everything should be clear."

……

At the beginning of August, the day after Shangguan Zhenyuan and Dugu Ningke hurriedly returned to Daxing, Han Teng's duo and Zhang Lie and others entered Daxing City one after another.

Lu Xiao ignored the surveillance gaze in the shadows and came to the city gate to greet him openly.

At this time, Yu'er had already replaced the thorn service designed by Lu Xiao and sewn by Yongzhen for her.

With her favorite red as the main color, she made some localized modifications to the stabbing customer according to the characteristics of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and she also wore a dark red hood on her head.

"Hehe~ Looks good."

Lu Xiao smiled and quipped to Yu'er, "How is it?" Is there anything inconvenient to wear, just say it, so that Yongzhen can help you modify it in time. ”

Yu'er twisted her body flexibly, she was very satisfied with this lightweight, breathable and sun-shading clothes: "No, it fits perfectly, it is worthy of being made by Sister Yongzhen herself, I can't learn the skills of female celebrity anyway." ”

"That's good."

When Lu Xiao turned his head to lead the way, he glanced at the watcher hiding in the shadows without a trace.

"Let's go, Mr. Chen Fu is still waiting in the inn."

After a period of precipitation, Chen Fu calmed down and reflected for a long time, and finally initially let go of the unrealistic obsession with restoring the country.

The princes and ministers of the Chen State of the Southern Dynasty seem to have the potential to be artists by nature.

Chen Fu, who had put everything down, had been depressed for a while, but recently seemed to have found new pleasure, practicing landscape painting and calligraphy in the courtyard of the inn every day.

When Lu Xiao returned to the inn with the group, Chen Fu just finished a calligraphy with a dragon and snake.

Jing Qiu and Xiao Xue, who were left surprised, slapped around the master with a satisfied smile on his face, and Lu Xiao took Zhang Lie, Yu'er and Yongzhen upstairs to exchange information.

"Shan Xiaoxiao is dead?!"

When they heard the news, Yongzhen and the three of them were taken aback at the same time.

Lu Xiao nodded and said: "I personally confirmed, yesterday Shangguan Zhenyuan carried her coffin and galloped into the city, and it is said that Yang Guang was called over and scolded for being unlucky in the morning today. ”

After being surprised for a while, Yongzhen also told Lu Xiao in detail what happened in the tomb of the ancient king of Bashu.

"One thing can be said to be a coincidence, two things can be said to be accidental, and three things come together by coincidence......"

The corners of Lu Xiao's mouth hooked up a sneer: "The last piece of the puzzle is in place, Yuwen Tuo should almost act." ”
