From Huichuan County to Wuningba, if the fast horse arrives in three or four days, but the speed of driving an ox cart to transport granite and other heavy goods will be extremely slow.

It was a very smooth journey.

A few people in the team who had received Lu Heng's special orders also slowly relaxed their vigilance.

Seven days later, the team finally came to a small village that was only a day's journey away from Wuningba to rest. After everyone had eaten and drunk to their heart's content, they left the people to keep vigil, and then they relaxed and fell asleep. There was another day at Wuning Dam, and after the goods were delivered, their mission ended safely.

The next day, the team set off again. It's just that no one can see that two of the cars have been replaced.

When Xiao Xiao got the news from Jinghuwei, he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

He divided a part of the elite tiger guards he brought with him, and ordered them to protect the safety of the "goods" until the designated place.

In the following half month, six more teams in the stone factory in Huichuan County set off in different directions.

Xiao Xiao still used this method to successfully exchange for the other two batches of treasures.

"Everything is going so smoothly, didn't Uncle Lu find that the stones transported have been replaced?" Qin Yining leaned on the soft bamboo-topped pillow, and shook a begonia-shaped plain fan in his hand lazily.

Xiao Xiao inserted a piece of honeydew melon with a bamboo skewer and sent it to Qin Yining's mouth, and said with a smile: "He is such a meticulous person, he has been preparing for several months, he must be very calm, and he will only see the treasure again after he is sure that there is no abnormality and the limelight has passed." It was precisely because I guessed his thoughts that I was able to steal the beam and change the pillar in this way. ”

Qin Yining sneered, picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, "It can be seen that some things are too cautious, but they will delay big things." ”

"yes. To be overly cautious is to be indecisive. If you do this on the battlefield, you are likely to miss the opportunity. And winning or losing on the battlefield involves human lives. ”

"That's why you've developed a decisive temperament." Qin Yining put down the fan, sat up, and put his arms on the shoulders and neck of the owl.

As he approached, the delicate fragrance of her body enveloped him.

Xiao Xiao smiled and grabbed her slender waist, stole an incense on her cherry lips, which still had the sweet scent of honeydew melon, and said with a smile: "I can't remember how many times I have escaped death because of a quick decision." It is important to be more clear and decisive. However, the premise is that things must be thought through clearly, and decisions cannot be made casually, which will be arbitrary, and may cost the lives of his brothers and harm others and himself. ”

Qin Yining nodded obediently, her slender fingers wrapped around a strand of broken hair that fell on her shoulders, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Xiao Xiao's body and mind were about to melt into her gentle eyes, and she slowly approached as if enchanted, and her deep voice was slightly hoarse, "If someone comes to stab me this time, I don't want to dodge." ”

Qin Yining burst out laughing when he heard this.

Just as the lip flap was close, Jiyun's slightly anxious voice suddenly came from outside.

"Lord, princess, Tang Xiu has a letter here, Mr. Xie must inform the prince quickly."

The action paused, and he sighed a little disappointingly.

Qin Yining said: "Go quickly, such a hurry must be something important." ”

Pull him to his feet and straighten his clothes.

Xiao Xiao said: "You can go and see it with me." It's also boring to be idle in the house. ”

Qin Yining thought about it, the cut clothes were all done, two pairs of shoes were made, there was nothing urgent for needlework, and she was just reading some miscellaneous books when she was idle.

"Okay." Qin Yining responded, and called Jiyun to come in and serve her neatly dressed.

The two of them hurried forward.

As soon as Tang Xiu saw that the owl was coming, he didn't care about any courtesy, so he hurriedly arched his hand and took out a letter from his arms.

"Lord, when I went out of the city today, there was a little beggar who sent this to his subordinates, and his subordinates were suspicious, so they opened it and looked at it, who knew that this was a letter in a letter, and the note in it was written that his subordinates must only hand it over to the prince. It's a matter of life and death. The subordinates didn't dare to delay and hurried back. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao had already taken the envelope, and there was indeed a smaller envelope in it.

And as soon as he saw the familiar handwriting on the letter, Xiao Xiao's brow furrowed.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also gathered here, they were very curious when they saw this, they wanted to take a closer look, and they were a little worried that they had exceeded the rules.

"Two gentlemen, please see. Xiao Xiao seemed to understand their thoughts, and handed the letter to Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi.

Facing Qin Yining's inquiring eyes, he said, "This is a letter from Tao Hanshan to me, in addition to asking for peace, he also told an important message. ”

"Important?" Qin Yining asked suspiciously, "Previously, when Mr. Tao left, he left you a letter, saying that no matter where you go, you will always do your best to treat the great cause of the prince." ”

"Yes. Tao Hanshan said that the last batch of goods asked us not to move. He had already informed the Holy Lord of this, and the Holy Lord would definitely rush to Huichuan. ”

What the?

Qin Yining's eyes widened in astonishment.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also had complicated faces, and returned the letter paper to Xiao Xiao.

"This last batch of things is going to be shipped to Wanzhou Town, and everything has been deployed. What if you stop at this point? Xie Yue furrowed his brows, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed out a little more because of his tangled expression.

Xu Weizhi said: "With many years of experience working together, although Tao Hanshan is paranoid and a little unscrupulous, he really has a hand in controlling the overall situation, and he also has high expectations for the prince. This time he must have done so. ”

Xu Weizhi's words were reserved, but he was obedient and listened, he had already expressed very clearly, Tao Hanshan must have informed the Son of Heaven of the news that the treasure was about to be transported to Wanzhou Town as written in the letter.

With Li Qitian's suspicious temperament and his importance to treasures, he will definitely rush to come this time.

Even, the treasure that had been successfully robbed in the hands of the owl before was very likely to be remembered by Li Qitian.

Xiao Xiao said: "Tao Hanshan's assassination of Sister Yi is really hateful. But over the years, his character has also been understood. This time, as Mr. Xu said, this letter should be true. His thirst for power is great, and he is probably still pinning his hopes on this king, so he thinks that the best way to assist this king is to assist him. ”

After a long sigh, he said, "This king believes that Tao Hanshan's ability is still worthy of recognition, and his ambition for power also makes him not betray this king for the time being." Therefore, this batch of goods shipped to Wanzhou Town, we had better wait and see in secret. ”

Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, and Tang Xiu all nodded.

Xie Yue said with admiration: "The prince knows how to make good use of people, has a broad heart, and can be so tolerant of the traitor in Tao Hanshan, which is really admirable." ”

Xiao Xiao waved his hand and said: "It's not that this king is tolerant, but now I know Tao Hanshan more and more." ”

"But I'm a little bit in trouble. Qin Yining raised his forehead and said, "With the character of the saint, he will definitely come as soon as possible, he attaches so much importance to the treasure, and then the news that the saint left Beijing for the treasure will spread." ”

Qin Yining exhaled and said a little heavily: "The news sent by my people, although the water in the south has stopped now, the food in various places is really not enough to eat. The common people dig wild vegetables and pick the bark of trees to satisfy their hunger. At such a time, the court's relief has not yet arrived, but the saint is making a big fuss about the treasure, who knows what it will be like by someone with a heart?

"Those people are hungry, seeing that an even greater famine is about to break out, and the Son of Heaven does not give them alms, but only knows to repair the emperor's tomb and dig up treasures. At that time, it will really be a big mess in the world, and it won't be long before the world stops. ”

Qin Yining's analysis was reasonable, and several people couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

Xie Yue said after a moment: "What the princess said is reasonable. That's why there's nothing wrong with what we've done to get that treasure. In fact, it is said that it is a treasure, and these are all obtained by the Yan Dynasty Dujun looting the people that day, if it can be taken from the people and the people, it is also a good thing. ”

"Exactly." Xiao Xiao said, "Now that things are complicated, we have to take one step at a time, Tao Hanshan informed the Son of Heaven about this matter, and he may not have considered wanting to stimulate the Son of Heaven to do excessive behavior." Let's wait and see what happens, if the Son of Heaven doesn't come, we can get it, if it comes, we have to think about it in the long run. ”

"Not really." Qin Yining shook his head, "I'm afraid that the Holy Lord is really here, and there will be no time for us to think about it in the long run." ”

As soon as Qin Yining reminded him, Xiao Xiao immediately understood, and suddenly said: "If you are suspicious of the saint, you will only suspect me, and even worse, Lu Heng will climb on me." ”

"Exactly. So it's best for the prince to sit down and prepare in advance. ”

The plan was decided, so Qin Yining didn't stay longer, so as not to disturb Xiao Xiao and the strategist to discuss other matters, and returned to the inner house alone.

Jiyun was directing the little girls to clean the yard, and when he saw Qin Yining coming back, he came forward to greet him with a smile, "Princess, you're back." ”

"Hmm. What I asked you to inquire about, can you find out? ”

Jiyun nodded, followed Qin Yining into the house, went to the Eight Immortals table to pour a bowl of tea and put it in her hand, and then said: "The Wang family seems to be doing everything as usual, and there are still not many people serving in the house, but I heard some rumors that Wang Dashan seems to have hysteria." ”

"Oh?" Qin Yining paused to pick up the tea bowl, and then smiled coldly, "He's not enough." ”

Jiyun looked at Qin Yining suspiciously.

Qin Yining said: "He hated the Yue family who took away his property, and hated his wife for being unlucky, which angered the people of the entire Danfu County. Because most of the people in Danfu County come from three families, and the three big families influence each other, the people are also pedantic to listen to what family motto, do not care about the law, he was robbed of the family property, even if the people of Danfu County know, no one will give him a head, because he is a foreigner.

"He has always wanted revenge, and what he did when the governor of the county was the idea behind him. He hated that the Holy Admiral would kill all the people of Danfu County in order to vent his anger. In his early years, he betrayed Sakurai, and later he used Sakurai. Now his goal has not been achieved, I think he has been stimulated. ”
