Chapter 55: The Mountain Rain is Coming

It snowed again early in the morning of the fourth day of the new year, and in the prince's mansion, Ji Niang received the news of Wenli.

"Your Highness, Mr. Wenli said that Xiao Tiyun and others were sent out of the villa over there. He already has a countermeasure to take advantage of this matter, but recently Bei Xiao is suspicious of him, so it is inconvenient for him to take action himself. Mr. said that if this matter is to be completed, His Royal Highness needs to help him lead the prince of Nan out of Kyoto for half a month. ”

"He also said that he would prepare two things, and only said that we would know how to use them when we met, but he didn't say what they were." Ji Niang said with a frown.

Qian Yi listened, lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"Prince Nan is not a foolish person, does His Highness have a plan to lure him out of Beijing?" Ji Niang looked at Qianyi and asked.

"I don't dare to say anything else, but as long as I get involved in that incident, Qianwu will lose her mind, and even if she knows that it is a trap, she will willingly jump into it......" Qianyi looked up at the fluttering snow, stretched out his hand to catch one of the snowflakes, and tightened his hand into a fist.

As long as it's about Xiao Jinzhi, it's about the truth of the year.

"It's really unfortunate that I did get a clue two years ago, a real but broken clue." Qian Yi hooked the corners of his mouth, and spread his hand again, the snowflake had turned into water, "Xiao Jinzhi definitely didn't expect that her death would become Qianwu's biggest weakness, not only making him lose his father's favor, but also himself." ”

Ji Niang looked at Qianyi, and a smile appeared on her face.

At noon the next day, Ding Yuan hurriedly ran in, and before Xu Chongxin could report Qianwu, he had already rushed into the study, "Lord Wang!" Rajah! Ding Yuan has something to report! ”

Qianwu raised her head and looked at him, "Why is it in such a hurry?" What happened? ”

"Yesterday, our informant in Longxian Town received a message that the girl wrote a letter before she was killed, and then sent someone to send it out." Ding Yuan spoke, and gasped a few more times, "We happened to find the person who delivered the letter again. ”

Qianwu began to wire large and small towns along the way from Jiangnan to Longxian Town eight years ago, and all the clues and evidence were investigated from scratch, and he never gave up looking for the truth of the year. In recent years, there has been little progress, and now that there are new clues, all those who have been ordered to investigate are as excited as if they have been killed.

Qianwu looked at Ding Yuan, and his eyes sank. After so many years, it is really suspicious that this clue appeared at this time. But if you can find the letter...... It's one step closer to what happened back then.

At this time, Xu Chongxin came in and saluted, "I just received news from the fog, saying that Miss Tiyun will go to Minshan County in Liangzhou in two days to send Qinghe Aunt's clothes. ”

Qianwu suppressed Ding Yuan first, and then asked Xu Chongxin, "Who are the people who are traveling with you?" ”

"The girl's fourth senior brother, and the drunken girl." Xu Chongxin replied.

Qianwu pondered for a while and made a decision, "You let Wumiao follow Tiyun closely, and then send someone to release the news to Yunhe and let him go with him." ”

Yunhe has the best relationship with Qinghe, and he will not sit idly by and ignore such a major event as sending clothes. If he knew about it, he would definitely follow. Yunhe went with him, even if he encountered an accident along the way, he would be relieved to be protected by the power of the imperial court.

"Yes." Xu Chongxin received his order and was about to leave, when Qianwu stopped him again.

"Chongxin. You pack up tomorrow and come with me to Longxian Town. Qianwu lowered his eyes, "I'm going to check this matter myself, and if I can find the letter, I'll see for myself if it's Jinzhi's handwriting." ”

"Yes." Xu Chongxin hugged his fists and went out, and Ding Yuan also retreated.

When Qianwu came back from bathing in the night, Chu Yang was packing his luggage. After packing the clothes and objects, Chu Yang seemed to hesitate and asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to bring this bell with you?" I think it's so chic, it must be quite an important object. ”

Qianwu glanced at the ring bell in Chu Yang's hand and thought for a moment.

Back then, Xiao Jinzhi went to ask for the ring spirit bracelet and the ring bell, and then transferred it to Qianwu. Although the national style of Nancheng is open, such a thing as a woman confessing to a man is still not recognized by everyone, so this matter is full of trouble. The ring ring ring bracelet was well-known to the world for a while, and a large number of imitations appeared at that time.

This time, when he went out to investigate the matter of the letter, he must not reveal his identity, and must be secretive and low-key. He can't reveal his identity outside, so that the black hands behind the scenes will find out that he is investigating this matter.

"You can take it for me." Chiki replied.

"Yes." Hatsuyo put the ring bell in a wooden box, and put it in the cabinet on the side along with the wooden box.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Qianwu took Xu Chongxin and set off to Longxian Town, and at the same time, Tiyun and the others also set off for Minshan County.

Not long after Qianwu left, Su Yu was going to Qianwu's study to add him a new pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and just entered the study, but saw Chu Yang rubbing something on the edge of the bookcase over there.

"What are you doing here?" Su Yu said with a frown.

"I ...... I'm bored, so I come to the study to find some books to read. Chu Yang took out a book and smiled back at the embarrassed Chao Suyu.

"How can I come and go in and out of the prince's study!" Su Yu blamed Chu Yang for not knowing the etiquette, "This time, it's over, you go out quickly!" ”

Chu Yang nodded, put the book down and ran out.

Su Yu felt a little strange when she looked at her appearance, but she felt that she was thinking too much, shook her head, put down the paper, closed the door and went out.

Chu Yang had just run downstairs, and the blood on his arm was already dripping down. She pulled out the arrows in her sleeves, and the petals of the arrows touched the flesh, spreading sharp edges and stabbing her arm.

She closed the petals of the arrow, covered her arms, and ran briskly towards the bamboo grove in the back garden.

In the bamboo forest, when I was bored in the yard to remove the snow, I suddenly saw a figure sneaking into the bamboo forest. When is it time to take a closer look, huh? Isn't that man the first sun?

When I saw that there were residual blood droplets along the way, I quickly followed in doubt, and followed to the edge of the bamboo forest, just in the hidden place on the side of the rockery, and the early sun turned and disappeared.

I hovered in place for a while, but I didn't see her come out of here, so I went back to the bamboo house. He was a little uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, so he ordered someone to investigate the details of Chu Yang.

About an hour later, the prince's mansion received two things from Chu Yang.

Sky Breaker Arrow and Ring Bell.

Qian Yi opened the red cloth and looked at it, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Wen Li is really clever and ingenious. ”

Ji Niang picked up the sky-breaking arrow and looked at it carefully. With the scabbard in hand, he gently flicked the arrow, and the arrow immediately divided into three sharp iron petals, "The shape of this arrow is really very special, but it seems to be a little heavier......"

"The arrow contains poison in it, of course it will be heavier." Qian Yi smiled disdainfully, "Back then, Qianwu helped Xiao Jinzhi build this set of bows and arrows, found all the ironsmiths in the city, and came to ask me. It's just that he didn't expect that he really created this sky-breaking arrow. ”

"I know what Mr. Wenli means." Ji Niang looked at these two things, and her eyes showed a cunning light, "Ji Niang is willing to lead more than a dozen elites to set off for Minshan County, and she will definitely live up to the trust of His Highness and Mr. ”

"Good." Qian Yi stood with his hands in his hands.

In the middle of the night on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Yunhe was busy all day, and he found time to drink and talk with a few soldiers at night. I walked to the backyard of the restaurant, and was about to get on my horse and go home, but I saw a black-clothed guard riding a fast horse and rushing to the east gate.

Yun He frowned, and then looked at it, isn't this the head of the guards, Lu Gao, begging Lord Lu?

Lu Gaoqiu led dozens of his men to be masked, and was about to quickly leave the city.

I don't know who the emperor is trying to destroy, but even Lu Gaoqiu went out together. Yunhe thought about it, got on the horse and left the workshop. He rode slowly down the avenue, and the moon above his head was hazy and obscured by the clouds.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, the porter opened the door for him and told him the message from the Nanwang Mansion during the day. Yunhe was still a little drunk, nodded vaguely, and thought about the location of Minshan County, Liangzhou, and suddenly remembered the direction in which the palace guards had just left the city, and understood it in an instant, frowned and turned over and got on the horse.

Not good!

At this time, the prince's men followed Ji Niang and just set off for Minshan County, but on the way, they bumped into the palace guards. Ji Niang is familiar with the martial arts of various sects, and she knows at a glance that the person who takes the lead is Lu Gaoqiu.

Why did the emperor also send people to Minshan County? Could it be that the emperor and Bie Xiao also have an old enmity? Ji Niang frowned.

That's fine. Her mind turned, she had a plan in her heart, and suddenly smiled coldly.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

Seven days later, one afternoon, they finally arrived in Minshan County. After a long journey, Tiyun was sick and his body was not supported, and he was dizzy and vomiting. Fang arrived at the house of the Demeng family, got out of the car and hurried into the hall to sit down and rest.

The Meng family has always liked to be clean, Mrs. Meng's family moved several times when she was young, and now the house is located at the foot of Minshan Mountain, about more than 100 miles away from the county seat, surrounded by mountains and rivers, quiet and no other people.

Today, Meng Zhizhao was not at home, and went to the shop in the city to take care of the living. The housekeeper ordered someone to tidy up the guest room for Tiyun and his party, and Tiyun was not feeling well and ate some stomach-relieving food, so he went to lie down for a while. The fourth child handed over Qinghe's clothes to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper ordered someone to take it to the ancestral hall.

It was almost night, Tiyun woke up from the bed, relieved his mind, got up and followed the girl of the Meng family to meet Mrs. Meng, and went with drunk.

A few people came to the old lady's house, and there were charcoal pots and stoves in every corner of the house, and they went in as if they were back in summer. The girls took their cloaks and took them down, and they approached the bedside to visit the old lady.
