Chapter 203: The Pigeon
Yu Fei's hanging heart finally fell halfway, and the servant sent the letter back. Because there is an envelope on the outside, and the letter inside is not seriously burned. Yu Fei didn't care if it was wet or not, he gently tore open the envelope and took out the most important letter inside. Spread it on your hand and unfold it slowly. Everyone came over and held their breath to see what was inside. And Lian was even more nervous, the handkerchief in her hand had already been confiscated together, and the crepe was not in shape. After the letter in Yu Fei's hand was opened, there was no text, and everyone was speechless.
Tian Yao propped up her chin and thought about it. She was the first to speak with a full question, "You say, are you...... The letter just fell overboard...... Melted the font by water? ”
Yu Fei on the side was slightly unbelieving in his heart. Naturally, he disagreed with her statement. And the lotus on the side has a ghost in her heart. I'm guessing, isn't the letter being repackaged, or? Is it really water-soluble? Naturally, she couldn't believe it.
Lian nervously took over the words on the side, "I'm sorry...... Everyone...... It's me, it's me who just ......" Before he finished speaking, he had an expression of wanting to cry, and there seemed to be a lot of tears in his eyes. Naturally, she hoped that the two of them would not continue to investigate, and all she could do now was to disturb their minds and make it impossible for them to find out.
Tian Yao was a little surprised, with a very tired look on her face, Lian was the girl beside her. On weekdays, it's also a steady one, but today it's a little abnormal. But when I think about it, I was just assassinated by an arrow...... This stupid girl must have been scared. Tian Yao felt a little sorry for her and said, "Lian, you go and rest first." Today you have also received a surprise, go and rest for a while. By the way, he gave Dong Qing a color and took the lotus down.
Tian Yao turned around again and squeezed at Yu Fei, who was still in a daze at the blank letter, "Yu Fei, let's go back too." Yu Fei naturally understood what she meant, and there was a lot of public here. There were many people, and it was difficult for them to say anything to each other, so they had to receive the letter in their sleeves. Nodding at her, the two of them went back to the study together.
When Yu Fei returned to the room, he naturally put the letter on the table to dry. Tian Yao sat on the chair, while Yu Fei stood at the desk, he paced back and forth, some thoughts as if he was about to grasp the clue and couldn't grasp it. He suddenly remembered that Tian Yao was also there, and turned around and asked, "Do you have any clues there?" ”
Tian Yao shook his head at first, thinking that he had no clues. Suddenly, two things flashed through her mind, and she bounced. His eyes were like torches, "Tattoo!" There was also a spark in Yu Fei's eyes.
With a snap of his right hand, there were suddenly a few more black-clothed people in the study, and he stood with his back on his arm and ordered, "You go to the palace to find out as soon as possible, who has tattoos on their bodies." ”
The shadow guards suddenly disappeared again, and they continued to wait for news in the study. When the sun was setting in the west, the shadow guards finally came back and knelt in front of Yu Fei, "Master, there are no tattoos in the palace. Yu Fei waved his hand to let them retreat, and left the study with Tian Yao.
As soon as Tian Yao and the others left, Lian walked to the study, and there was a knock on the door, "Lord Wang, Miss, are you inside?" ”
Lian knocked on the door again, and saw that there should be no echo inside, and made sure that there was no one in the study, so she gently pushed the door in peace of mind, and the study was really empty. She walked into the desk to look for the letters, only to see them on the table unpacked, and the letters that had just fallen into the water had dried and showed obvious handwriting.
She picked up the letter and skimmed through it. Sure enough, it was exactly what the vassal king said, and she continued to feel the fire fold from her body without changing her face, and blew the fire fold out of the spark. I put it under the letter and put the letter in my hand on it. The letters burned, and in an instant, the white letters turned to gray.
Lian watched the letter turn to ashes, so she slowly picked up the ashes after the burning, took out a boxy handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped it carefully, and put it in her arms. After continuing to clean up the study and making sure that there were no traces, he quietly retreated.
On the other side, Tian Yao and Yu Fei were still worried about the tattoo......
Hearing the secret guard's reply that there were no tattooed people in the palace, he had a headache. It seemed that the case would not be easy to investigate, and he continued to ponder quietly. The palace is like a net, densely intertwined, and Yu Fei glanced at the sky. Having sunk down, he walked over. Lights up the room. Tian Yao next to him was also pondering this problem together, and did not pay attention to the surroundings. And what she doubts is whether there is someone in the palace playing impersonation, and a letter, naturally, passes through some people in the middle, as well as in time and route. Thinking of this, the two looked at each other. I thought of one place and summed it up again.
The two of them worked together overnight, and finally found a clue. Yu Fei lowered his eyes, and suddenly shot out a sharp shot, there are too many idlers in the capital, this time I will start with the messenger! evoked a sneer, and he was also looking forward to who the person behind this matter was.
In order to prove this conjecture, Tian Yao had an idea. On the second day, I got up early and brought a pen and paper, and tried to send a message from here to the vassal king to see if it would be replaced halfway through. The news she wrote is basically half-true, if you don't know the truth, you can basically be regarded as confused, and the content makes people look at it, and they can't braid it from true or false. But if the letter really reaches the hands of the vassal king safely, some of the things in the letter are only known in his own heart.
Tian Yao was a little excited after writing it, and immediately called Wang Liang, pretending to be serious with a calm face, "You pass this letter to the vassal king, the content is confidential, you must be careful." ”
Wang Liang looked at Tian Yao, who was a little abnormal today, with some doubts, and didn't dare to slack off, and replied, "Yes." ”
And Tian Yao was always worried about making trouble, using the excuse of watching pigeons. also accompanied this Wang Liang to the pigeon farm. Seeing that Wang Liang found a specific carrier pigeon in the palace of the feudal king. The letter was carefully stuffed into the pigeon's lap and trained by a special trainer before the pigeon was released. Tian Yao's letter was sent, and he was relieved. Still thinking in her heart, if the messenger is okay, it is a problem on the route of the pigeon, she looked at the pigeon flying out, and there was a mystery in her eyes. It wasn't until the pigeon disappeared into the distance and couldn't see clearly that she was able to go back slowly.
The pigeon that had just flown away naturally responded to Tian Yao's conjecture. Halfway through the flight, I heard a whistle coming from below. Instead of following the correct route of the vassal king, he whistled and stopped in an inconspicuous pigeon farm. Someone seemed to notice it from a distance and served it some food. After a while, a man in black came forward, grabbed it, untied the letter from its lap, and led it to a study.
I only heard a voice in the study, "Master, this is the news of the robbery." I saw a hand stretched out from behind the chair. I took it and glanced at the contents. I picked up the pen and re-wrote a few other things. Finally, he stuffed it back into the pigeon's lap and carried it out.
When it took off again, there was a delay of half an hour. This time he finally arrived directly at the vassal king's mansion, and Zhao Hu saw a carrier pigeon coming. As is customary, take it first. Holding it in his hand, he first untied the letter on the pigeon's feet. After going to the study with the letter to find the vassal king, he finally opened the letter in the same way as before, and then used a candle to drift the letterhead. to verify the authenticity of the letter, and this time. But there was nothing, Zhao Hu was a little surprised, and tried again. The paper is directly yellowed, and it is certain that it is fake.
Zhao Hu was immediately frightened and sweating profusely, knelt down and reported to the vassal king, "Lord Wang! The letter is fake! ”
The vassal king had just squirted out a sip of tea and was surprised, "What?!" He took the letter presented by Zhao Hu's mobile phone, looked at it carefully, and verified the authenticity with his own hands.
It is true that nothing can be detected, and after careful examination of several places, it is clearly not like the letter paper used by the two parties to communicate. The vassal king secretly cursed despicable in his heart! The look in his eyes became complicated, and he was slightly flustered.
asked out loud, "Zhao Hu, this carrier pigeon, are you sure?" ”
Zhao Hu lowered his head, recalled the demeanor of the carrier pigeon, and said affirmatively, "The vassal king, this carrier pigeon is indeed true in the house." Someone should have used something specially designed to train carrier pigeons, tricked the carrier pigeons, and replaced the letters from them. ”
He didn't dare to imagine that if his letter had already been stolen from it, what kind of news came from the capital would be true. Moreover, all the secrets of this land must be well known to those who robbed the faith. If you ...... later, What's going on, isn't he......
He took a few steps back and sat back down on the collapse. Somewhat angrily, he slammed down the table and closed his eyes weakly. After half a ring, he picked himself up again and began to think about what to do.
If the letter cannot be used, there is another way, and that is to pass the book quickly. Now you can only use fast horses, although the speed is slower, but it is still believable. He immediately ordered, "Zhao Hu, this king personally repairs a book, and you must personally hand it over to Mo Jingli." ”
Zhao Hu replied, "Yes!" ”
The vassal king instructed again, "Remember, you must wait for Mo Jingli's reply!" You're bringing it back. ”
Zhao Hu saluted him, "Yes." ”
The vassal king then hurriedly wrote the book, and told Mo Jingli about the exchange of the letter in the letter, and wanted to ask him for advice. Lazily wrote seven or eight pages and gave them to Zhao Hu with his own hands. And Zhao Hu had already prepared it, and as soon as he got the letter, he immediately sent it out.
The vassal king watched Zhao Hu's departure, and estimated in his heart the time it would take to get to Mo Jingli here, while waiting for a reply. It was also necessary to change the arrangement of the domain and some of the secrets in an attempt to remedy something. He looked firm, he still had a bunch of things to finish now.
