Chapter 234 in distress

Regardless of what reason He Minsheng was killed. Now at least two points can be certain: first, an important clue and a very important tainted witness in the Suzhou-Hangzhou Yantie case have disappeared; Second, his husband will face a lot of trouble......

Xiaoxiao has been running around Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province for more than a month, and the ultimate goal is to run for the people in this Xuanzhou prison. The result was good, as soon as it came, it was empty, it was like a punch that had accumulated the strength of the whole body, and it hit the cotton all at once, which made people not angry.

However, this is not the most important thing, what worries Xiaoxiao even more. Why didn't he do it sooner or later, but two days before he arrived in Xuanzhou? Is this a coincidence, or is it a planned conspiracy? If it is a conspiracy, does it mean that his actions in San'in more than a month ago have been exposed? If this is the case, is it safe for me to continue to stay in Xuanzhou?

Based on the above considerations, the day after Xiaoxiao arrived in Xuanzhou, he did not go out for a whole day. This surprised the managers of many places of interest in Xuanzhou, who had even prepared for the Countess's "> a few days before. I didn't expect to linger in the mountains and rivers along the way. The countess who has been tossed in Jianghuai and knows everyone> but there is no movement after arriving in Xuanzhou, can it be that the places of interest in Xuanzhou can't enter the eyes of the countess ">......?

As a result, they were relieved the next day, and the countess ">'s little son" > and Xiao Qianjin, after leaving from Suzhou Fengqiao Yebo, contracted a cold and had a fever all the time. The Countess was >so anxious that she didn't close her eyes for several days and nights, and as soon as she arrived in Xuanzhou, she sent someone to ask for the most famous local doctor overnight. On the other hand, he hurriedly sent a letter to Hangzhou to inform the Earl of the news......

Of course, Yaya and Dandan's are not really sick, but they are still young and can't express their protest at all. Therefore, when the mother said that they were infected with the wind cold, they were really infected with the wind cold; My mother said that they had a fever, so they had to keep a fever......

As for the famous doctors who were invited overnight in Xuanzhou City, of course, there is no need to worry. Qin Shuang showed the waist card of the commander of the royal guards, and after some threats, intimidation and coercion, the two famous doctors were left with only the share of promises. Countess "> what they want them to say, they can only say it carefully, for fear that they will accidentally commit the great crime of destroying the Nine Clans......

God is pitiful, they are so dignified with the halo of a famous doctor, sitting in their own medical hall every day, waiting for those patients to rush to send silver into their pockets, how could they suddenly fall down such a fierce royal guard commander? There are also those two little ancestors of the count's family who are obviously alive, why does the countess "> have to say that they are not lightly ill? Where is there such a curse on their own children? Could it be that these two little ancestors I still feel sorry for? Is it the illegitimate son of the count?

Of course not, whose child is distressed, if it weren't for the grim situation, where would Xiaoxiao make such a decision? The two baby bumps were locked up in the room all day, and by the end of the night they couldn't hold back anymore. Crying and wanting to go out for a walk, but Xiaoxiao strictly ordered Cui Qiao and Caiyi to stay in the inn and not go out. So, Yaya and Dandan cried loudly, and the crying was heart-rending and heart-wrenching, making the little heart tight. However, in this way, the rumor that the two babies were very sick confirmed the rumor, which made the people outside the inn nod again and again: "It seems to be true......"

Yes, that's a little delay. Along the way, I have been enjoying the mountains and rivers in a high-profile manner, which conceals the most fundamental purpose of this trip. If you stop for no reason after arriving in Xuanzhou, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of people with intentions. Especially during this sensitive period when He Minsheng was killed, Xiaoxiao even suspected that the news was deliberately released by someone in Huainan Province. His intention is to test the fundamental purpose of his trip for the last time! Otherwise, He Minsheng was arrested and killed, such a confidential matter. How could it be so easy to find out? And almost at the same moment when he arrived in Xuanzhou? This is obviously someone deliberately sending a message to himself......

After thinking about this, Xiao Xiao became more and more nervous, and even shuddered. Soon after setting off from Shanyin, Qin Shuang reminded Xiaoxiao that there were people who had been following and monitoring them along the way. However, along the way, they are really traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they are even careful to collect public sentiments and public opinions. Even so, after arriving in Xuanzhou, Xiaoxiao still felt that in the dark, there was always a pair of eyes staring at them......

Therefore, Xiaoxiao stopped all movements, and under the pretext that Yaya and Dandan were sick, she sent someone to send a letter to Hangzhou as quickly as possible to discuss countermeasures with her husband. Since the goal of this trip has been lost, should I return to Hangzhou immediately? Or do you want to make a secret visit and then return?

Hangzhou's reply was delivered quickly, and Jiang Zhixuan was almost in a hurry. Because just one day before the little letter was delivered to him, he had already received the news that Sima He Minsheng in Xuanzhou had been killed. At that time, he sent his henchmen to Suzhou and Xuanzhou, hoping to intercept his beloved wife's trip halfway. Unexpectedly, it was still a step late, and his beloved wife had already arrived in Xuanzhou......

In this matter, Jiang Zhixuan complained about his beloved wife's decision. Now that He Minsheng has been killed, what are you still doing there? This is obviously someone deliberately testing you, so why put yourself in danger? However, there are small words and there are small words, Jiang Zhixuan still immediately replied to ask his beloved wife to return immediately. Not only that, but he also made two preparations and personally found the mansion of Sima Feng Qinglian in Hangzhou. Ask him to help you answer it!

Since Feng Qinglian decided to stand with Jiang Zhixuan, he naturally would not shirk it, and more importantly, his own baby daughter Feng Caiyi was also "> with Mrs. Thorn Shi. So, after receiving Jiang Zhixuan's request, he sent someone to pick up 500 elite soldiers overnight and left Hangzhou City to go to Xuanzhou, ready to pick up Mrs. Thorn Shi "> and his own daughter who came back from Xuanzhou at any time. Forty percent of the 2,000 soldiers in Hangzhou City were loyal to him. The remaining 300 people, he all moved around the Assassin's Mansion to deal with the worst-case scenario that could occur at any time......

When Feng Qinglian left with the army, Jiang Zhixuan returned to the Assassin's Mansion, still feeling uneasy. So, he recruited the captain of his own personal guard and wrote a letter by hand. Let him go out of the city overnight and send him to Zuo Xiaowei's camp, and personally present it to General Duan Zhixuan. Jiang Zhixuan said in the letter that if he did not receive the second letter sent by him after ten days, it would mean that there had been great changes in Hangzhou City and even the entire Jianghuai Province, and he asked Grandpa Duan to show His Majesty and send troops to Hangzhou! Coincidentally, now Zuo Xiaowei is stationed in Shonan Province, which is close to Jiangnan Province. I don't know if His Majesty Li Er has realized something......

After doing all this, Jiang Zhixuan could only fidget, waiting for sleepless nights......

After Xiaoxiao received her husband's reply, she immediately discussed with Qin Shuang and prepared to leave for Hangzhou immediately. Qin Shuang naturally agreed, because this was originally what he had proposed before. It's just that at this time, you need to think long-term, and you can't go on such a good tour. To put it mildly, this time they can be said to be running for their lives.

Qin Shuang planned carefully, planning to divide the troops into two ways. He personally led thirty royal guards to escort Xiao Xiao and the three little ones, as well as Cui Qiao and Caiyi and others. Take the big road. And there are honor guards along the way, so that at least a lot of unnecessary trouble can be reduced. If something happens, you can also enlist the support of the government and the people along the way. The other fifty royal guards accompanied each other in the shadows, because of this trip, from the beginning to the end, the eighty royal guards did not appear collectively. With such a hidden force, it may be possible to receive unexpected effects......

In the early morning of the tenth day of arriving in Xuanzhou, some well-intentioned people got the news that the little young master and the little daughter of the countess "> were slightly better. However, the Countess "> had palpitations and planned to abandon the trip to Xuanzhou and return to Hangzhou as soon as possible, so that she could recuperate for Lin'er and her daughter......

Sure enough, in the middle of noon, the Countess "> the inn where she was staying, and four luxurious carriages drove out. The curtain of the carriage was tightly closed, and it was not known that the Countess >was sitting on it. In addition, the thirty guards of the Earl's Court who accompanied them all rode on tall horses, nervously walking all the way to the east, in the direction of Hangzhou......

It was only half an hour after the small car escort team went out from the east gate of Xuanzhou City. The east gate and south gate of Nanling County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuanzhou Mansion, also poured out two teams of people at the same time, with about 100 people each. These people are dressed in a variety of clothes, but they have one thing in common, and that is that their bags are quite heavy. If you take a closer look, you can find that the bulging bag is probably filled with murderous weapons. It's just that they don't seem to have gotten the news, from yesterday night to early this morning, some people in Xuanzhou City went out of the city in ten batches, and then gathered together in a deserted mountain temple outside the city. And these people have also changed into incomparably fine armor and incomparably sharp blades......

The two provinces of Jianghuai are both coastal areas and have developed economies. Although the government is corrupt, there are official roads and post stations along the way. But it's also very neatly repaired! Xiaoxiao and his entourage have been taking the official road, and whenever it is time to eat and stay, they will go to the post station on time to eat and stay.

This seemingly normal habit makes it extremely difficult for those who have a heart. This person with a heart is the team that the two teams found out from Nanling County. They received an order to pretend to be pirates in a remote place, and kill the wagons and the accompanying escorts. But this group of people all took the official road and threw themselves into the post house on time, so they had no chance to do it at all......

This was also unforeseen by those who instructed them, who, in their view, through this series of designs and intimidations, "must have > already been a frightened bird." When I returned to Hangzhou, I must have been in a hurry like a lost dog, and I was in a panic. In this way, they will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, get rid of this lady at this time> and give a stern warning to the protégé of the Son of Heaven in Hangzhou. More importantly, this does not need to bear any responsibility, but can exaggerate the trouble of banditry, and more justifiably embezzle and hoard grain, grass and property......

Xuanzhou and Hangzhou are about 400 miles apart, and if you ride a fast horse, you can get there in two days. If you are in a hurry by horse-drawn carriage, it will only take about three days. But Xiaoxiao asked Qin Shuang not to hurry up and hurry slowly. As a result, the original three-day journey was forcibly extended to five days. However, in the first four days, it was all peaceful and there were no accidents!

On the evening of the fourth day, the team stayed at the first post station in Hangzhou, which was called "Entering Xuanyi"! Xiaoxiao and Qin Shuang, as well as the accompanying guards, all breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, this is already the boundary of Hangzhou and Jiang Zhixuan's territory. No matter how arrogant those invisible enemies are, I am afraid that they will throw a mouse trap and dare not act rashly.

Cui Qiao and Caiyi, although they don't know what happened in the past few days, the tense atmosphere along the way still makes their hearts shrouded in a layer of clouds. So much so that in the past few days, even Yaya and Dandan have been taken care of much worse than before. Today, seeing Mrs. "> and the Qin Commander are relaxed, and the stones pressed on the hearts of the two girls have also fallen to the ground! Therefore, as soon as I arrived at the post house, I hurriedly spread around and prepared to fetch water for the two little babies to bathe. It has been said that for several days, because of concerns about safety. Therefore, after staying at a post house, Xiaoxiao no longer let people go out. Therefore, in the past few days, Yaya and Dandan, even including everyone who is young, have not bathed......

Caiyi went to the lobby of the post house to check in, and Cui Qiao went to the room of the post house to ask for hot water. From the front yard of the inn to the backyard room, there is a corridor in between. The wing room next to the corridor was originally the residence of the post house and the attachés. When Cui Qiao passed by here, she suddenly felt a sense of restlessness. This feeling made her subconsciously look around a few more times, and suddenly, sharp-eyed, she found a hint of red at the door of a side room......

Thinking of the situation in the past few days, a terrible thought came to Cui Qiao's mind. After looking around, I saw that all the rooms in the inn seemed to be closed, and that terrible thought became even more solid. I wanted to lie down and take a closer look to see if the red was human blood as I expected, but I was worried that someone was watching, so I had to continue to go to the room.

Bidding farewell to those five big and three rough house handymen, on the way back, Cui Qiao suddenly had an idea. When passing by the side room, he pretended to be careless, and with a "clang", the copper basin he was holding in his hand fell to the ground at once, and the water in the basin splashed everywhere. It just so happened that some of the hot water flowed down the eaves of the door to the red she had just seen. Then, the color of the crimson slowly turned black and brown, and with the hot water spilled out, it soon seeped into the ground and disappeared. Seeing this scene, Cui Qiao was sure that it was human blood......

Returned to the room to get a basin of hot water again, and then pretended to have broken his foot, and limped back to the room under the suspicious eyes of the miscellaneous servants. As soon as she entered the room, Cui Qiao put down the copper basin, hurriedly pulled Xiaoxiao aside, and told Xiaoxiao what she had just seen.

This sudden situation made Xiaoxiao's heart that had just been put down hang again. Some of the movie images I watched in my previous life came to mind, especially the movie called "New Dragon Gate Inn", which reminded Xiaoxiao to be careful of this inn, which is likely to have become a black shop......

Xiaoxiao called Qin Shuang and told Qin Shuang about this new discovery. As for how to deal with it later, Xiaoxiao believes that Qin Shuang is much more professional than himself. Sure enough, after just a stick of incense, Qin Shuang brought back the news: The original post man and the sixteen attachés of this post station have all been killed. Now in this post house, there are at least a hundred people in the light and dark. Moreover, the basin of water that Fang Cuiqiao brought back was tested by the poison masters among the royal guards, and it was also found that the water contained sweat medicine that caused people to fall unconscious......

Qin Shuang had already ordered someone to go out and contact the other fifty royal guards who were secretly guarding, if the expectation was correct, I am afraid that at the latest, after nightfall, these people would have to do it.

……

In the dead of night, from the outside, there were not many lights. Even inside, only the Countess who stayed today" > still had a light on the window of her room. The rest of the domestic servant's room was dead silent.

Slowly, one by one figures slowly walked out from the various rooms of the inn, as well as the lobby and the room, holding a sword in their hands, tiptoeing towards the lighted room in the middle of the front yard. The leader, who seemed to be very confident in his sweat pills, left only a dozen or so people behind, watching the rooms where they thought there were still people inside......

At the same time, only three or four miles away from the inn, two teams of men and horses were fighting bloodily. One of them numbered more than 100 people, dressed in a variety of clothes, and the blades in their hands were also different. The number of people on the other side is about fifty, and each of them is burly and fierce, dressed in pale yellow chain mail, and has a Tang horizontal knife in his hand. Although the number of people is twice as small as that of the other party, they are not chaotic at all, they attack and defend each other, and they cooperate very tacitly, but they suppress the people who are twice as many as themselves without the slightest resistance. The battle was fought so fiercely that from time to time someone screamed and fell to the ground, and the sparks burst from the clashing of blades, and even set the dry grass on fire......

……

"Captain, look! There's a fire over there! ”

In the other direction of "entering the Xuanyi", about three miles away from the post house, a group of 500 Tang troops was camping on the spot. They were at the request of Jiang Zhixuan, who came out of Hangzhou Mansion and went to Xuanzhou to meet the Hangzhou soldiers of Xiaoxiao and others, led by a school captain, surnamed Sun, who was Feng Qinglian's hardcore henchman!

Captain Sun raised his eyes and looked at it, and really saw that seven or eight miles in front of him, the flames were soaring into the sky. Captain Sun suddenly remembered that not far in front of him was the last post house before leaving Hangzhou and entering Xuanzhou. Suddenly, there was a burst of excitement all over his body, he slapped his thigh, and shouted: "All get on your horse, prepare for battle, and go straight to the ...... of 'entering Xuanyi'."
