Step by step approaching (V) (above) the joy of the peak of worry
+++===+++
Two beautiful girls came to the town to find their relatives, and the news spread quickly in the barracks. This kind of thing is a common thing in Xifeng, but I don't know which family it is. The officers and soldiers who were far away from home were very curious about these visiting family members, not to mention that these two were so beautiful. I don't know who the flowers are. Curious people will visit the inn. And they also took the opportunity to search in the town.
In addition to the soldiers, family members, and merchants in this town, there are also strangers with strange accents. Although in the past, the generals would also take in some foreign slaves, and there were many of them, but few of these foreign slaves would visit them. Although these people also try to hide their foreign characteristics, Shinno is used to seeing them when he often walks in Kansai and outside the mouth.
This is the backyard of the Xie family's mansion. The Xie family is the richest family in Xifeng Town, and was once an imperial merchant in the previous dynasty, although it is no longer a licensed imperial merchant since the new dynasty, but the original business name and family business are still very large in the capital and the two lakes. Most of the people in charge of the Xie family live in the capital and the big cities of the two lakes. The mansion is run only by a few older uncles and servants.
What led Lian'er here today was this special smell of medicine. On the way to Xifeng, they never knew how to find out the whereabouts of the medicines, because Baicaotang had sent people to follow them many times, and there was no follow-up after arriving at a local warehouse. No one picks up the goods, but every once in a while, when you go back to the probe, the amount of medicine changes. And we are constantly buying new goods. The warehouse is located in the town's market area, and no one is seen picking up the goods during the day and night surveillance. The subordinates of Baicaotang were helpless, so they could only report to the authorities truthfully.
Lian'er knew that these medicines were either baked with vinegar or wine, so she came to the town to find a place to make vinegar or wine. She thought that there was a liquor workshop or a vinegar field or something like that could be used to disguise the whereabouts of the other party's refining medicine. But he didn't expect the other party to be so blatant, and he came to boil these hallucinogenic things in the backyard of the first family's house next to the downtown area of the town. Obviously, the other party didn't think that anyone would be able to recognize the smell of this medicine. At most, I thought it was a member of the Xie family who was sick and made the smell of medicine at home. And the Xie family is huge, so it is normal to buy more wine vinegar and the like to prepare, or pickle pickles.
The smell of medicine made her conclude that this was the heart erosion powder used by the old demon of Mobei. But the old demon is in the capital, how can he refine medicine in a place like Xifeng. The refining of these drugs is laborious and requires a high degree of precision. If he himself does not come, who of the disciples can do it for him?
With her husband's practice for this year, she not only learned to wear clouds and swallows, but also learned some of the ability to escape from the eaves and walls, but she didn't expect to use the wall to enter the house in Xifeng, which is something that Zhou Wanning in the palace has never thought of. When she and Jade Spirit sneaked into the outside of the alchemy, a man and a woman guarding the medicine furnace were talking, and although the bellows in the room kept ringing, she could still hear a few words. And this man is obviously a master, and the woman is an apprentice. When the man turned around, she almost exclaimed, because she knew this face, this was Qiu Zhicheng, who led the soldiers to wash the Zhou family with blood. Although she didn't see him on the night of the bloody case, but many years ago, because the Queen Mother overturned the case for the Zhou family, Qiu Zhicheng once went to the palace to ask for guilt, and she remembered this face clearly.
Because she was in an abnormal mood, she didn't hold back her breath, which alarmed the people in the room. They hurriedly withdrew and avoided the city. When they came to the downtown area, they were two weak women who came to visit their relatives.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these two beautiful visitors always attract different sergeants, shopkeepers and passers-by to strike up with them. Ever since the Uyilu incident, Lian'er has been more cautious. She remembered that her husband had warned her not to laugh outside when she was in Xianyang, and now she didn't smile and covered her face with a veil. However, the more you cover it up, the more mysterious and curious it is, and the more people want to find out. The sergeants of the Xifeng Battalion, who were accustomed to indulgence, all eyed him. Even the foreigners who had been careful to hide their whereabouts couldn't help but pay attention to her. While they were gathering information about each other, the other party was also observing them. At the same time, the husband also saw his wife's movements in the report sent to the capital by his subordinates. This time, because the prince's golden armor was secretly protecting, the guards of Pingluan Pavilion did not follow. Xifeng is an important military camp town, and Pingluan Pavilion has always been on duty in the town. These subordinates didn't know Madame, but the appearance of such an outstanding figure in the town inevitably attracted their attention. Although the decoration of the evening setting concealed some of the flamboyance, the subordinates of Pingluan Pavilion could still distinguish the lady's slender figure and stunning temperament from the crowd. This made the husband sitting in Beijing happy, and he had to sigh at the charm of his wife.
Although the town of Xifeng is busy but calm during the day, and Xifeng at night seems too weird, in the silence, only the Yiya Garden in the west of the town is brightly lit, but there is no singing and dancing music of the past. In its backyard, Lin Fang's girl Juan'er was leading people to make medicine. This is the recipe that Lin Fang took from the master, which can be added to the tea, which makes people drink it unconsciously and become addicted. Let those people come here in a few days, otherwise they will not feel comfortable.
And in Lin Fang's room, Gao Yuanan was looking at the bewitching woman in front of him with complicated eyes. The woman who has moved him for half a year and made him forget about it, At this moment, he felt disgusted and frightened, and when he spoke to her, he couldn't hide his disgust: "Let them let Qing'er go, and I will agree to any request." ”
Lin Fang pretended to smirk delicately: "As long as the general accompanies the big things, my master will definitely let the master release the three sons, you don't have to worry." And those drugs are chronic, and they won't kill them for a year and a half. It is said that it will not last long in the imperial city, you can rest assured, when the big thing is decided, the antidote will be delivered to the hands of all the sons immediately. ”
Gao Yuanan was a little impatient, Lin Fang always played Tai Chi with him like this: "Where is your master?" I want to see him. ”
Lin Fang deliberately leaned on Gao Yuan'an and said softly: "The master said that it is inconvenient to meet the general with his identity, and the day of the matter is the time to meet." ”
Gao Yuanan snorted coldly: "I don't trust Gao so much, how can Gao trust him?" ”
Lin Fang deliberately leaned on his ear and whispered: "General, the master is actually in Xifeng, and the general often sees it." The master felt that if they recognized each other at this time, they were afraid of affecting the general's daily mood, which would not be good. The master said that if the great thing is accomplished, there will be many places to rely on the general in the future, how can it harm the three sons. ”
Qiu Zhicheng, the head of the Xifeng camp, was talking to two mysterious guests from the capital in the big tent. The situation in the capital has been unpredictable recently, especially after the Baoguo Temple incident, and the situation seems to be very chaotic. They originally wanted to be happy to see the crown prince attacked in the incident of Baoguo Temple created by others, so that the position of the prince was empty again. However, the defense of the Empress Dowager's department, especially the assistance of the Tang family, made the matter fall through. Yiyi returned to the capital from Baoguo Temple safely and sat firmly on the throne of the prince. And for Qiu Zhicheng and his master, this time it was a bit more than worth the loss, although the attackers suffered heavy losses, but it did not bring them the opportunity to further expand and move towards the throne, but because they sent people to watch and investigate, Pingluan Pavilion caught a few of their eyeliners, and then went down to the vine to break through a few places where they settled in the capital. On the other hand, the prince's family, except for Tang Xinjie, who is a close confidant of the prince, has the trouble of family changes, everything else is calm. Tangmen and Pingluan Pavilion both mobilized more manpower to Beijing because of Tang Sanshao's family change, and the Imperial Forest Army, City Guards and Praetorian Guards in Beijing were also reshuffled by Tang Xinjie and Tang Xinyang because of the interface of this incident, and the prince's family was more stable. For more than ten years, Qiu Zhicheng has never been so passive in doing things for his master. The master has always been shrewd and calculated, but this time it seems that he was a little messed up by Tang Xinjie's hairy boy, and even the forces in the army were greatly affected.
The two visitors today surprised Qiu Zhicheng with their noble status, and he was flattered to see him in person, the purpose of their visit Qiu Zhicheng had already understood, and with the performance and strategy of these two people in the past few years, he felt that he should be on their side, far wiser than following the current master. Although the senior brother also sent someone to see him in the past few days and asked him to join the Five Princes, he felt that the two in front of him were more strategic than the Five Princes. In any case, as long as he controls the camp, anyone will come and woo him.
In the Shunfeng Inn, evening condensation strolls in the atrium. It's a full moon night again, and it's a time to stay with your husband in Kyonaka. Since they arrived in the capital, they have been extremely busy, and they have not been able to spend much time together, but every time on this full moon night, no matter how busy her husband is, he will put down his official duties and go home to accompany her, except for that time when Ah Yilan came to the capital. Thinking of Ah Yilan, her heart began to feel melancholy, she knew that no matter what happened at the beginning, her husband had not completely let her go. Since she is not the only one in her husband's heart, then Fu Xinshu, who has already entered the door, is likely to become the next Ah Yilan. Although her husband had sworn to reassure her when they broke up in the capital two days ago, the lessons from the past, with her husband's character and kindness, made her mind. Thinking about these thoughts, accompanied by the moonlight, she unconsciously walked out of the inn they rented, and came to the river outside the back door of the inn.
But she wasn't the only one by the river who admired the moonlight, a man in a black cloak and hood and a tall, muscular old man were talking in the shadows by the door. She didn't mind, but the other party's alertness and avoidance caught her attention. Ever since she came to Xifeng, she used to cover her face with a veil, and tonight she just went out for a walk, and she didn't wear a veil. She stood under the lantern in the doorway, and the other party could see her clearly, but she couldn't see the person standing in the shadow. But they thought she had seen clearly, and the man in the black cloak quickly bowed his head and retreated, and the old man walked towards her.
