Chapter 45: Soldiers Do Not Tire of Deceit
At night, Zhan Mingxuan hurried back, and when he saw his daughter intact again, he put the heart back in its place.
"Dad, are you back?"
"Well, Xi'er, how's it going? Are you feeling well? ”
Zhan Yunxi stood up, his hands slightly open, and turned in a circle, "Dad, don't worry, it's all right." ”
Zhan Mingxuan sat down with a smile and ordered someone to pass the meal.
"By the way, Xi'er, what did you ask Yin to do with them to investigate the files of the missing persons?"
"Dad, the Li family will definitely need many people to open a mine. The Li family didn't dare to recruit people openly, and they would definitely make some small moves. ”
"Did you find anything?"
"Zhanghan County has the most missing people, Surabaya County has the least, but there is no news about the situation in Jishui County."
"No news is the biggest anomaly."
"I sent someone to investigate, but the person who sent it out is missing."
Zhan Mingxuan frowned, "These people are really daring!" ”
"Dad, I've roughly determined the location of the minerals, and I'm waiting to determine it."
"Don't act rashly, where can you find evidence so easily? Let's discuss this matter! ”
"Dad, is your daughter such a reckless person?"
"Hmph, you didn't say it was reckless, you didn't even discuss it with me, and went to the 'Ghost Mist Forest'."
Zhan Yunxi pursed his lips weakly. Lin Elegy snorted: "Okay, you father and daughter don't talk about anyone, have a dinner, and discuss these bad things." ”
Zhan Mingxuan and Zhan Yunxi glanced at each other, and surrounded Lin Elegy on the left and right.
"Ma'am, we were wrong."
"Mother, let's go eat, eat."
"By the way, Yunxi, did you write to Twilight?"
"Mother, I wrote to Twilight as soon as I woke up."
After dinner, Zhan Yunxi returned to his courtyard, where Ziyi and the others were already waiting.
"Master, how can we go to explore the location of the mine?" Tassel asked directly.
Yin Li squinted his fox eyes, "Stupid." ”
Tassel blushed angrily and roared: "Yin Li, you bastard, if you don't bury me for a day, you're going to die, right?" ”
Yin Li touched his chin with his hand, "It's not going to die, it's just uncomfortable." ”
Tassel's face turned even redder, of course not annoyed, but angry, "Bastard, you don't know how to go if it's uncomfortable, besides, I don't believe you know how to go?" After speaking, he gave Yin Li a roll of his eyes.
Yin Li touched the tip of his nose, he really didn't know how the master was going.
Seeing this, Tassel snorted coldly, even more disdainful.
"Alright, don't make a fuss."
As soon as Zhan Yunxi spoke, those who acted and watched the drama all converged and sat up straight.
"Master, if you go to Zhanghan County, then you have to pass through the 'Ghost Mist Forest', if you go to Jishui County, it is possible that it has all fallen under the strict control of the Li family. It is possible that the news has not been found, and it has made the Li family murderous, so it will be troublesome. Yin left the mouth.
"But the cost of passing through the 'Ghost Mist Forest' is too great, we have lost five people this time, and it is possible that we have not yet reached the depths of the 'Ghost Mist Forest'." Tassel immediately retorted.
Zhan Yunxi propped his chin and watched them come and go, some said latent, some said cross-dressing, discussed and argued hotly, and laughed like a stealing kitten.
When everyone reacted, and their master hadn't spoken yet, Qi Qi cast his blazing gaze on Zhan Yunxi.
"What's wrong? Isn't it discussed? ”
"Master, do you already have a way?" The tassel said suspiciously.
Zhan Yunxi smiled and nodded, "Yes! ”
Suddenly, everyone's eyes became mournful, what, the bad taste of the master!
"Master, what can you do?"
Zhan Yunxi sat up straight, his eyes swept over everyone, Ziyi and the others involuntarily held their breath, their eyes shining in anticipation.
"My thoughts are," Zhan Yunxi paused deliberately, and sure enough, he was attacked by everyone's grievances, "Don't be afraid of the frontal bar!" ”
Everyone was confused, what? Is it because their comprehension is too low?
Li Zhu said hesitantly: "Does the master mean that we directly enter Jishui County openly?" ”
Zhan Yunxi raised his eyebrows, "Sure enough, Lizhu still understands me, that's right, that's what I mean." ”
Yin Li patted his head and suddenly realized, "That's right! We all think complicated, the master and Lord Zhan are both officials, no matter how powerful the Li family is, they are just businessmen, no matter how unwilling they are on the surface, they must be respectful to the master and the adult! They have no reasonable excuses, and they dare not stop their masters and adults. ”
"But in this case, our every move will still be monitored by the Li family, and if we really find anything, we won't be able to come back safely." Nuan Yan frowned.
"Remember that map?"
Yin Li hurriedly spread out the map on the table.
"You see that the minerals are indeed between Zhanghan County and Jishui County, but that mountain is still connected to another peak in Jishui County, what if you send a team of people to enter from this side of Yuewu County and pass through this mountain, so that you can bypass Jishui County and pass directly through the mountain?"
Zhan Yunxi's finger, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Why didn't we think of that?"
Zhan Yunxi took a sip of tea, "This is normal, people are always easy to be bound by inertial thinking." ”
"Master, how do you arrange it?" Lizhu's face was still covered with frost, but his eyes were full of eager light.
"There's no urgency in this matter, we have to put two targets, so that they won't have the energy to think about our real purpose, and tomorrow we will release the news, and say that my father is going to Jishui County to inspect the people's situation. In order to be safe, the Li family will definitely find something to stumble my father, and then I will go to Jishui County with my mother. ”
"Master, even if you don't find out about winning over the Zheng family, after this medicine collection, it is estimated that the Li family will not ignore you."
Zhan Yunxi raised a dazzling smile, "Of course I know, I just want them to set their eyes on me!" So that you can lurk in. ”
"The master has another question, how do we distribute manpower?"
"The five of you are all following me, if you are not there, it will definitely attract the attention of the Li family, so all five of you follow me."
"But who's going to look for minerals?"
Zhan Yunxi put down the teacup and said casually: "Haven't you come out yet?" ”
In the next moment, three figures in black appeared in the room. Lizhu and the others frowned without a trace, someone was in the dark, they didn't notice it at the first time, it's really damn damned.
Darkguard Sixteen and Darkguard Seventeen looked at the leading Styx, embarrassed for a while. Styx touched the tip of his nose, his face was very stiff, and he was roaring in his heart, Master! How can you say that if you throw me away, you will throw me away!
It turned out that on the day Chu Yan was about to return to Beijing, he suddenly left the Styx behind and asked him to protect Zhan Yunxi, and the Styx was abandoned by his master!
Zhan Yunxi looked at the extra person, and was also surprised, and raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" ”
"My subordinate Styx has seen Miss Zhan."
"Dark Guard XVI (XVII) has seen my master."
Zhan Yunxi curled the corners of his lips, it seems that Chu Yan's guy gave those two secret guards directly to himself, and lent him his right-hand man?
"Styx? Your master left you to me? ”
Styx's face darkened, even if it is a fact, miss, don't say it so directly, as the master's right-hand man, it is shameful to be abandoned, but if it is to protect the master's mother, then it is another matter.
Styx unconsciously shouted directly: "Mistress, do you know me? ”
As soon as the word "mastermother" came out, Zhan Yunxi's face also darkened. Warm smoke and tassels are fine, after all, they have been touched. The silver needle in Ziyi's hand was cold, and the murderous aura on Lizhu's body was even worse.
Zhan Yunxi softened his voice: "What are you calling me?" ”
Styx's face stiffened, and his handsome face fell, "Miss Zhan, it was a mistake by a subordinate, don't you still have something to explain?" Don't delay your business. ”
"If I let you enter this mountain range from Yuewu County and get to this location, how long do you think it will take you?"
Styx looked at it, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "If they are all dark guards, then it will be ten days as short as ten days and as long as fifteen days." ”
"Okay, I will find a way to stay in Jishui County for fifteen days, you take advantage of this time to explore this place, I will send ten people with you, just remember to investigate, don't rush in."
Styx said in a deep voice, "Yes." ”
"You will leave for Yuewu County tomorrow, and I will let my brother pick you up over there."
Styx, sixteen and seventeen, returned to the shadows after receiving their orders.
"Alright, you guys should go back and rest first!"
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
After breakfast, Zhan Yunxi informed Zhan Mingxuan of his plans. The father and daughter discussed it and determined that this plan was feasible. Zhan Yunxi sent someone to reveal the news, announcing that three days later, the county keeper would go to Jishui County to inspect the people's situation.
As soon as Zhan Yunxi walked out of the study, he heard the maid come to report, "Miss Zheng is here." ”
Zhan Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then went to receive Zheng Chan with a smile.
"Sister of the county lord, this is what my brother asked me to bring to you."
"Oh, is it? Thank you, Chan'er. ”
Zhan Yunxi opened the food box and found a letter on the ground floor. Zhan Yunxi burned the letter after reading it.
"Master, what did the Zheng family say?"
"I guess I explained the reason why they didn't come when my mother was poisoned, conveyed their apologies and expressed concern for my health!"
Zhan Yunxi picked up the pen and wrote a reply, "Chan'er, give this to your brother, do you have to know it to him personally?" ”
"Hmm." Zheng Chan nodded obediently.
Zhan Yunxi played with Zheng Chan for a while, and when she was tired, he sent someone to send her back.
Here, Zheng Lunwen received a reply from Zhan Yunxi, and finally put his heart down, for fear that they would suddenly regret it.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to leave, "Dad, be careful all the way." ”
"I know, you are at home, take good care of yourself, and spend more time with your mother."
"Hmm."
As soon as Zhan Mingxuan stepped on the footstool with one foot, a guard hurriedly came to report.
"Adults stay, adults stay."
Zhan Mingxuan turned around, skillfully exchanged a look with Zhan Yunxi, and looked at the person who came on the horse indifferently.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"My lord, two headless corpses suddenly appeared in the eastern suburbs."
Zhan Mingxuan and Zhan Yunxi's faces sank, the Li family was really mad, and they didn't hesitate to use human lives as bargaining chips.
"I'll go at once."
