Chapter 54: It's Zhao Ziqian's turn to be unlucky

Xiong Wei took Tang He and waited in Tongzhou City, but he was anxious, and he didn't let go until Zhao Ziqian returned unscathed.

In order not to arouse Yi Xiangxiang's suspicion, they had already retired from the room in Xile Building, and now their foothold was the courtyard of a wealthy merchant in Tongzhou. This wealthy businessman is the shopkeeper of Cheng Xi's firm, and he is also Zhao Ziqian's person. Sanjin's house is not big for Zhao Ziqian, who has the identity of a prince, but hiding in the market is better than concealment and safety.

The waiting subordinates knew the rules very well, and as soon as Zhao Ziqian came to the main courtyard, someone brought tea and snacks.

"How? What the hell is going on with that Yi Xiangxiang? Xiong Wei was still holding the black cloak that Zhao Ziqian had just taken in his hand, and asked anxiously.

"Nothing! You sent a letter to Cheng Xi and asked him to deposit 18,000 in batches into the account of Yi Xiangxiang of Baofeng Qianzhuang...... 20,000 taels of gold. After that, you and Kang Rui said that they should send a few good secret guards to monitor Yi Xiangxiang, remember not to get too close, just record what she does every day and report it to me directly! Yi Xiangxiang's side will not be our enemy for the time being, and I have my own considerations for the rest! In addition, you pack up and go to Qishan at night. Zhao Ziqian drank tea and ordered.

The reason why Shili Xiang is called Shili Xiang is also related to its continuous taste, a pot of wine can be fragrant for ten miles, which is respected by many people. Even if Zhao Ziqian only drank a few glasses in Colorful Valley, there was still a residual fragrance on his body, and the smell mixed with morning dew was particularly good.

It doesn't matter if it smells good or not, but Xiong Wei wonders if his master has drunk too much, right? So I heard him cautiously ask, "No, what's the matter?" How to give her money? ”

Isn't it right for her to give us hush money when we find out her secret? Xiong Wei slandered in his heart.

"Just do it!" Zhao Ziqian said to Xiong Wei with a frosty face, so that the latter didn't dare to ask again, so he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Xiong Wei was puzzled, but Tang He was dumbfounded, the paragraph just now was really the longest paragraph he had heard Zhao Ziqian say in the past few days, this master usually really cherishes words like gold! It's rare to see him have a whole command!

However, Tang He still felt guilty, he was in charge of Tongzhou, but he didn't find anything different about Yi Xiangxiang at all, and it was his failure to do his thing.

"If your subordinates are negligent, please punish your master!" Tang He knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Ziqian.

Zhao Ziqian naturally knew why Tang He was guilty, but he knew that he couldn't blame Tang He, if it wasn't for the chance to bump into him this time, even he wouldn't have found out that the force behind Yi Xiangxiang was actually Huanxi Pavilion!

A little girl built a killer pavilion and let many masters work for her, which is like a fantasy for everyone!

"Get up! It's not your problem! In the future, I will send someone else to take over the affairs of Yifu, so you don't have to interfere, so as not to be discovered. Zhao Ziqian said.

Although Tang He was curious about who Yi Xiangxiang was, since Zhao Ziqian had directly ordered it, he naturally would not disobey.

"Subordinates obey!" Tang He stood up and hesitated for a while and said, "Master, the ship of the four princes will arrive at the dock at the time of Shen today!" ”

Zhao Zixiu's ship will go to Tongzhou when he applies for it, which is no secret in Tongzhou City. Because the officials in Tongzhou had received the news of the greeting, Yi Xihu even sent people to guard the dock in case someone collided with the four princes.

"Okay, I got it! You go down and arrange the manpower! Zhao Ziqian said.

He had just said that he would go to Qishan at night, and the purpose of making Tang He arrange manpower at this time was self-evident.

Tang He hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth again: "The master ran around all night last night, why don't you rest for a day first?" The four princes will definitely recuperate, and they should not go to Qishan tonight. ”

Zhao Ziqian shook his head and said, "It's hard to say! Besides, if they don't go up the mountain today, we don't have to confront them, so much the better! In the current situation, it seems that it would be better for us to grab time! ”

In fact, Zhao Ziqian still knows some about his fourth brother, if his guess is correct, Zhao Zixiu will definitely go up the mountain tonight. This is all kinds of harm and no benefit for Zhao Ziqian, he came in secret, and the people are definitely not as good as Zhao Zixiu, so if they really match, it is quite risky.

But he had to bet! Even if he can't get this treasure himself, he can't let Zhao Zixiu get it. Now that the powerful princes in the court have shown their tails, Zhao Zixiu has Concubine De to mediate in the harem, and there is the military power support of the Yuwen family behind him, if he is allowed to get another treasure, the consequences are difficult to estimate!

Tang He is not stupid, he also knows the importance of rushing time, but he is worried that Zhao Ziqian is tired. However, he was very surprised that his master would patiently explain the reason to him, to be honest, he had already made preparations for being shot by the cold eye when he made the suggestion just now, but he didn't expect that the master who ran away with Yi Xiangxiang seemed to become gentler when he came back!

"Yes!" Tang He didn't dare to spend more, and was ready to retreat and arrange it according to the order.

"Wait!" Zhao Ziqian stopped him: "You tell me to go down, just call me Gongzi outside in the future!" ”

Zhao Ziqian heard Yi Xiangxiang's subordinate say last night that their young lady felt that the "master" had no good end, so he had an inexplicable taboo against this title, who never believed in evil.

Tang He paused for a moment and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhao Ziqian arranged things and waited for dark, but Yi Xiangxiang, who had returned to Yongle Residence, hid in the room and fell asleep.

She really has a big heart! Although she was touched by an unknown person last night, she couldn't stand the fact that she was actually a person who loved what to do in her bones, and there was really no psychological barrier when she slept at this time.

Qing Xuan was originally very worried, but after Yi Xiangxiang came back, she comforted her and said, "This matter is just two sides!" The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! If the other party's strength is higher than ours, then there is no way, we have to pretend to be a grandson when we should swallow our anger, after all, our arms can't twist our thighs! But if the other party's strength is lower than ours, then what is there to be afraid of? If we don't bully him, he should thank God Amitabha! ”

This statement successfully persuaded Qing Xuan, who was hanging in his heart, so the master and servant are now both asleep.

Yi Xiangxiang was miserable, and she didn't sleep as comfortably as Qingxuan, because she was woken up halfway!

"Miss, you can't sleep anymore! Madame said that the battle of the four princes is coming today, and if he wants to come to the mansion, you still have to go to worship! Shumei said that she wanted to fish Yi Xiangxiang out of the bed.

Yi Xiangxiang stayed up all night last night, and finally went to bed by taking a nap, how could she get up again! I only heard her urn voice and said angrily: "Don't worry! The Four Princes will not come to the mansion! Where would these people casually condescend to support a Zhizhou field, there is no need! ”

Shumei didn't believe Yi Xiangxiang's judgment a little, and said, "What if, right?" Mr. Yu's birthday is still a few days away, and the four princes have arrived in advance, so they must communicate with Tongzhou officials and contact their feelings! Our eldest lord is the biggest official in Tongzhou, so it's not our main thing! ”

Shumei has been stable over the years, but after all, she has stayed in the back house for a long time, and almost all of them are covered by Yi Xiangxiang's yin.

People came early to find treasures! Yi Xiangxiang sighed secretly in her heart. She didn't tell anyone else about the treasure except the people of the Joy Pavilion, so as not to have unnecessary accidents.

"Don't make a fuss! I said I wouldn't come, I wouldn't come! You go out, good, let Miss sleep a little longer! Yi Xiangxiang said and stuck her head into the quilt again.

Shumei couldn't, so she could only prepare clothes and jewelry in advance, and even washed up with water just in case.

Of course, Shumei's preparation was really in vain! After the fourth prince Zhao Zixiu was greeted by officials from top to bottom in Tongzhou at the dock, he directly lived in the royal residence in Tongzhou, saying that he would have to rest after a long journey, and refused all visits.

Since Shumei stopped making trouble, Yi Xiangxiang slept very satisfied, so she slept until midnight. Tonight is Qingxuan's vigil, but Shumei hasn't gone to rest yet, and when she saw her young lady waking up, she hurriedly brought a supper to eat.

"Miss, your judgment is really clever, the fourth prince really didn't come! Instead, I went straight to the hotel! "Shumei admires her own lady very much!

"You haven't gone to rest so late, just to praise me for being like a god?" Yi Xiangxiang looked helpless: "Hurry up and go to sleep!" These will be cleaned up by Qingxuan later. ”

Shumei naturally couldn't resist her own young lady, so she withdrew from the main house of Yongle Ju. Yi Xiangxiang looked at her back and sighed, this unknowing is the benefit of not knowing, if Shumei knew that this Zhao Zixiu was actually here for other things, and now that this thing is in her young lady's hands, she will definitely be scared and uneasy.

Like Zhao Ziqian's judgment, Yi Xiangxiang felt that Zhao Zixiu would definitely go to Qishan at night, and the guests were not because they were tired on the way here, but because they had the strength to climb the mountain at night!

Of course, this is not surprising, even if it is replaced by Yi Xiangxiang herself, she must have rushed away non-stop knowing that there is a treasure there, not to mention that the duck in her mouth is suspected of flying now.

The fourth prince, Zhao Zixiu, is a gentle, elegant, and high-minded fairy son in the rumors, but Yi Xiangxiang doesn't know what kind of person it is, but what she knows is that most of the rumors are not credible! And she also knew that the desires of the superior could not be satisfied until they reached that very top position. Even many people who have reached the top will have a higher desire!

Treasure, what a tempting existence, no one will refuse.

Speaking of which, she originally suspected that the person she rescued in Qishan might be Zhao Zixiu's pathfinder, but the man who broke into Huanxi Pavilion last night said that it was his person, so from the current situation, it seems that there are already two groups of people who have come for the treasure of Qishan. Yi Xiangxiang didn't doubt that the man yesterday was Zhao Zixiu, nor did she suspect that he was Zhao Zixiu's person. The reason is that since this Zhao Zixiu is known as gentle and elegant, even if he hides, he will not be as arrogant and fierce as the person last night, because that kind of momentum is difficult to hide. Although the man last night regained his momentum, he was also unruly and unruly! I don't suspect that he is Zhao Zixiu's subordinate, because that jade pendant is indeed good, unlike something that the dark guard will wear!

Which side is it? Yi Xiangxiang doesn't have a clue about this yet.

Qing Xuan came in from the outside at this time, Yi Xiangxiang put down the spoon and asked, "Is the mountain all cleaned up?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, it's already arranged." Qing Xuan said.

When Yi Xiangxiang annihilated the Qishan Cottage, he ordered the entire village to be burned, and even destroyed the secret room. Later, she thought about it and felt that the secret room had to be kept, and it had to be kept as it was, so that they could push the Joy Pavilion clean. Because in the eyes of outsiders, it will be found that the secret room is intact, and Huanxi Pavilion has not obtained any treasures, and it is not known about it at all. It was Yi Xiangxiang who kept the secret room and only burned the village!

And in order to be logical and presentable, Yi Xiangxiang even asked Yaksha to send the Rubik's Cube back, and let it stay there in the form of a treasure map, just to attract the attention of others!

The twenty-four ghosts felt that Yi Xiangxiang's approach was really lacking in morality, so Yi Xiangxiang was even happier, because what she wanted was this lack of morality!

So, Zhao Ziqian and the others, who took advantage of the night, found the hidden secret room with all their strength, and got the Rubik's Cube by virtue of their ingenuity, but they didn't know that the contents of the Rubik's Cube had already been changed.

The Qishanzhai organ has been demolished, but it took a lot of effort for Zhao Ziqian to bring people up at night, which made him even more surprised by the strength of the Huanxi Pavilion. However, he also knew that Yi Xiangxiang was going to leave the captured mountain bandit in the hands of Master Jiang back then, and he thought that when Huanxi Pavilion went up the mountain, he already had a complete road map.

I knew that I should have asked Yi Xiangxiang for a road map last night, Zhao Ziqian thought so.

So he remembered that round face again, and asked him for money to redeem himself with a smug face! He also guessed that if he really asked Yi Xiangxiang for the map of Qishanzhai, the other party would definitely sell it at a good price! He could only shake his head helplessly when he thought of this, how could a little girl love money so much? Zhao Ziqian was puzzled by this.

But even though there are no drawings, they also went up the mountain! Seeing the blood stains splashed on the rocks everywhere along the way, even Xiong Wei praised Huanxi Pavilion for its ruthless killing decisiveness. When they arrived on the mountainside, they also found that the Qishan cottage had indeed been burned to ashes, leaving almost no useful clues.

However, Zhao Ziqian's eyesight is outstanding, and he found that the color of the stone wall in the back mountain is different by the moonlight. He looked at the whole stone wall that was dark, only one in the middle was a little white when viewed sideways, so Zhao Ziqian guessed that this was a stone gate, because there was a passage behind the stone gate, which made it have a different color! Sure enough, they found the mechanism of the stone gate, and when they entered, they saw the study that had been covered with dust.

This study seemed to have no traces of anyone coming, and Xiong Wei judged that the people in Huanxi Pavilion had not found this secret room study. After they rummaged through all the things in the study, Xiong Wei accidentally came across the celadon vase mechanism, so he opened another secret room in the study.

This secret room in the study is much better, because it is clean and there is nothing worth scrutinizing! Zhao Ziqian observed for a while, and found that there was a trace of a green brick on the wall where the green bricks were laid and it was different from the others. When he pressed the brick, a pontoon protruded from the other side of the wall, and on top of it stood a cube.

So now, Zhao Ziqian was standing in front of the ruins of Qishanzhai and frowning at the strange-shaped box in his hand, but before he had time to study it carefully, a murderous aura struck in the void space, forcing him to raise his sword to fight back.

In front of the ruins, another group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, twice as many as Zhao Ziqian's side! The two sides were instantly in a battle. Zhao Ziqian had already gotten the things, so naturally he wouldn't be in love with the war, so he ordered his people to evacuate.

"Let's evacuate separately, don't go back to the Tongzhou stronghold for safety! Inform everyone of the meeting at the Jinhua County base! See you and I at Luo's house! Zhao Ziqian split a man in black with a knife, and came to Xiong Wei's side and said to him.

The reason why Zhao Ziqian and Xiong Wei said that they met at Luo's house was also because he was worried that if other people were captured or followed, the stronghold in Jinhua County would not be safe, so it was safer to go to Luo's house, at least with his and Xiong Wei's ability, they would not be followed.

Xiong Wei resisted and said, "Childe, I'm with you!" ”

He naturally didn't worry about Zhao Ziqian's safety, he had been left behind several times this time, it can be said that he was once frustrated, and at such a life-and-death time, he naturally wanted to stay around Zhao Ziqian at all times.

"No, now that things are on me, they must be coming for me! I can get out by myself, but it's a burden to take you with me! Zhao Ziqian rejected Xiong Wei's proposal.

Xiong Wei was very helpless, because even if he was frustrated, he understood that what Zhao Ziqian said made sense, and in the end he could only obey the order.

In the silent mountain, there was only the sound of weapons colliding with each other, and the attacks of these people became more and more fierce, and the people who came did find things in his hands as Zhao Ziqian judged, and his side received the most attacks, and a group of people completely restrained his footsteps every time he rushed down the mountain. Zhao Ziqian couldn't, so he could only retreat to the opposite position.

Zhao Ziqian leaped to the top of the mountain, but the man in black didn't let him go, and the group quickly bit up. Zhao Ziqian fought and retreated, but the opponent was outnumbered, and the leader was swordsman, so he had a hard time coping with it. However, the swift pace continued to climb higher, and in a short time they came to the top of the mountain.

The temperature at the top of the mountain is naturally not as light as autumn at the bottom of the mountain, and the top of Qishan Mountain has been frosted at this time, and the surrounding flowers and plants are also covered with a thin layer of frost.

Zhao Ziqian looked helplessly at the cliff behind him, this is simply irreversible! He thought for a moment, and jumped into the cliff before the other man could pounce on him.

"Master! This ......" The black-clothed man on the edge of the cliff looked at each other, but he didn't expect his opponent to be so resolute!

The man who was called the master squinted slightly, and a feminine cold air gushed out from his body. He took off his face towel, revealing his handsome and elegant facial features, but there was no trace of warmth in those eyes that should be as warm as jade.

"Throw a stone down and collect the body at the bottom of the cliff!" The cold words came from above, and Zhao Ziqian naturally heard that this voice was his so-called gentle fourth brother, Zhao Zixiu, the fourth prince of the Li Dynasty!

Before Zhao Ziqian could sigh, there were stones falling down one after another! In fact, he did not jump down, but grabbed the pines and cypresses that stretched out from the cliff with one hand, and now in order to avoid the stones, he can only find branches left and right to support him all the way down, intending to reach the bottom of the cliff safely by this method. It's a pity that no matter how high his skill is, the center of gravity of the jump is really not easy to control, and as a result, he was hit by a stone in the middle of the mountainside and was sent to the bottom of the cliff with a stone!

But fortunately for him, there was a river at the bottom of the cliff, and he didn't fall on the spot. The moment he entered the water, what he thought in his mind was that fortunately, Cheng Xi had arranged in advance to transfer the money to Yi Xiangxiang, otherwise if he died so unexpectedly, he would definitely be scolded by Yi Xiangxiang on Huangquan Road for not being trustworthy.

It's not a good life

Non-red-faced, not thin-hearted, cool-hearted
