Chapter Forty-Seven: Death Is Near

Wei Yun came to the camp tent stationed in Shuzhou, it was a messenger sent by Wang Miao to negotiate peace, and it was rumored that Wang Miao asked him to go to Jinyun City to discuss the surrender.

But at the same time, Wei Yun also received a flying book from Wen Yeting. The letter wrote that on the surface, the two armies were fighting, but in fact, the two armies would be separated from the east, west, north and south, surrounding the entire Jinyun City, leaving Wang Miao with nowhere to escape. When Jinyun City relaxed its vigilance, they attacked the city together, striving to take down Wang Miao with the smallest sacrifice.

Comparing the two, Wei Yun knew that Wang Miao was disobeying the yang and yin behind his back, and he was really shameless as a villain, and he also delusionally thought that the two of them would retreat by themselves for the battle in Shuzhou, which was really a good calculation.

But Wei Yun followed what Wen Yeting said, stood still, and pretended to be deceived by Wang Miao.

Wang Miao summoned her at this time, "Wang Miao's current enemy, will he have other plans?" Hanama said worriedly.

She thought for a while, and replied solemnly: "But if I escape, wouldn't I blow up my identity?" Then this Yuhuatai is estimated to be inevitably a bloody storm. We have to go. Moreover, I have to stabilize Wang Miao so that he doesn't take advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

She thought of Jiang Ning in Yuhuatai again, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Assuming that Wang Miao confirms her identity, and she has no news, Jiang Ning, who has a close relationship with her, may become the target of public criticism.

stepped into Wang Miao's bedroom, but saw that he was as calm as ever, as if it was not him who was about to be embattled.

Wang Miao looked back at her, and she saw that Wang Miao was holding a delicate urn in her hand, and said to her with a playful tone: "Are you here?" Help me look at the ashes. ”

She felt that Wang Miao in front of her had an abominable face at this time, and he was still being abused like this when he died.

But he was about to take the urn, "Xu is my mother's." Hanama's words made her shake a little.

It turned out that Wang Miao wanted to use the ashes of this heir to refine medicine.

She suppressed the indignation in her heart, calmly took the box, opened it and looked at it a few times, and replied softly: "The state lord, it has always been recorded in ancient books that this ash can be used for medicine, presumably the state lord summoned me here to see what it can be used for?" ”

"Clever." Wang Miao looked up to the sky and laughed, and exclaimed, "You can help me try it to see if this ashes can refine any miracle medicine, such as the elixir of longevity." ”

She pretended to be surprised and whispered back, "Lord Zhou, although this ash can be used as a medicinal guide, after all, it is just an ordinary thing, and I am afraid it is still a bit ...... to alchemize."

Wang Miao turned sideways, stood beside her, and said quietly: "You can give it a try, this mortal ashes are ordinary things, but this one I gave you is not." ”

Sure enough, it was the princess's.

After hearing this, she nodded meaningfully at Wang Miao and was about to retreat.

Wang Miao stopped her, "I have prepared a separate courtyard for you, you can refine medicine there with peace of mind when you arrive." As for food, clothing, and daily life, you don't have to worry about it, someone will arrange it for you. ”

It's over, this Wang Miao is ostensibly using the pretext of refining medicine, but actually wants to imprison her.

I don't know what Wang Miao is doing this for.

She had to pretend to be honored, "Thank you Lord Zhou, it's just that there are many affairs in this Yuhuatai, and the director is very old, so I will handle them all on my behalf." It's better for me to stay in Yuhuatai to refine medicine, not to mention that Yuhuatai also has many classics for reference. ”

Wang Miao was a little annoyed when she heard this, "No need, you need someone to get it." As for the official affairs of the Imperial Flower Terrace, is it still worthy of my instructions? ”

"It seems that this Wang Miao is determined to lock people up." She said in her heart that the current situation is urgent, and if she acts rashly, she is afraid that she will disrupt the overall situation, so she has to respond.

She held the urn steadily, and when she came out of the palace, the guards who followed her reached out and blindfolded her, and she asked defensively, "What does this mean?" ”

The guard arched his hand and replied, "Lord Shi has offended, the location of the state lord's side court is confidential. ”

Although she was blindfolded as instructed, she couldn't help but complain secretly in her heart, "This Wang Miao thinks so much, if he wants to talk about the second, no one dares to talk about the first." ”

"Are we going to go with him like that? What if Wang Miao uses this as a threat at that time? Hanama thought that if he entered the courtyard, it would be difficult to be found, and it would be difficult to come out again, so he couldn't help but worry.

"The arrow is ready to fly, and there is no better way than to do what he tells him right now." She sighed helplessly, "I just hope it doesn't break the big thing." ”

She fumbled with the delicate, cold urn in her hand, unable to speak.

In the end, a person's long life eventually becomes this small world.

And the princess has even become a tool in the eyes of others for this last dignity and destination.

After about two pillars of incense, the carriage stopped, and she was helped out of the carriage. It was so quiet that only the shallow sound of running water could be heard, and there was an occasional burst of incense and candles.

When she was dragged to sit down, she could only hear the sound of locking the door outside the house, and Wang Miao had done this.

"You say, does Wang Miao know or not?" Hanama still felt relieved, and her heart was suffocated.

"I think Wang Miao is also gambling. For him, yes or no, it is not a loss. If it weren't for me, then I would have done my best to refine medicine for him; On the other hand, it was me, and it would be a windfall for him. ”

"So are we just going to sit back and wait?"

"Naturally not. When I first arrived, I already knew the direction of this place, and the only place in Jinyun City that could hear the sound of flowing water was in the east, and the rest of the city was surrounded by mountains, and there was no water running through it at all. I could faintly smell the smell of incense before entering, and I guessed that there should be a temple with strong incense not far from here. ”

After speaking, she observed the closed house again, touched the tables and chairs beside her, and it was spotless, presumably this should not be a long-abandoned mansion, perhaps someone came to clean it regularly.

She stood up and looked around, and saw that there was still a wooden hibiscus carved on the carved beams and painted pillars, and she felt that the arrangement and carving were somewhat familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

"Do you remember the last time you went to save Chaoyan and them? There is also this on the pillars in that house. Hanama reminded her.

She suddenly realized that it seemed that the interior furnishings of Wang Miao's courtyard should be very similar, and maybe even the feng shui direction was exquisite.

You have to find a way to pass on your position to them, so that you can not be coerced by Wang Miao, but also stabilize Wang Miao so as not to delay the big event.

"There's a way." She suddenly remembered something, and asked Hua Jian again, "What kind of materials are used in this ordinary alchemy?" ”

Hua Jian hesitated for a while, "It's probably some dansha, saltpeter, realgar, sandalwood and the like, why are you asking this?" We don't really want to use my mother's ashes to make alchemy for Wang Miao's thief......"

She smiled and hurriedly soothed, "How come? It's your mother's ashes, and I'll keep them alive. I just wanted to pass on the news to Jiang Ning by collecting the medicinal materials of this alchemy. ”

Then she followed the instructions of the flower room and wrote down the medicinal materials needed for alchemy on the paper, and called the person guarding the door, "You go to the Imperial Flower Terrace to find Jiang Ning, only she is the most dedicated, let her prepare these medicinal materials and send them back to me." ”

The guard was a little cautious, "Lord Shi, if you need me to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy it for you, this Imperial Flower Terrace is far away, and I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time." ”

She took a deep breath and scolded sternly, "This is for the state!" Who doesn't know that the medicinal materials collected by Yuhuatai are the best in Jinyun City, you are afraid of delaying time, so if the medicinal effect is not good and the alchemy is delayed, which do you think is more important? ”

"Yes...... The little ones are going. The man couldn't resist it, so he immediately turned around and went to the Imperial Flower Terrace.

When I arrived at Yuhuatai, I found Jiang Ning and explained the matter in detail. Only then did Jiang Ning know that she had been locked up, no wonder she had not returned after being summoned today.

Jiang Ning opened the note, and when she saw that there was nothing abnormal, she felt puzzled, how could this special delivery just need some medicinal materials that could be bought anywhere?

"Okay, just wait for me here. There are rules in the Yuhuatai, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the flower warehouse. She commanded the guard.

The guard nodded, and she took the note and stepped into the flower storehouse, hiding the door.

Jiang Ning took a closer look at the paper, and sure enough, in addition to the fragrance of ink, there was a faint smell of orpiment, she carefully scraped the blank space with a knife, but saw a few small words faintly emerging under the cover of orpiment powder.

"East of the city, next to the temple."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized that this was a message to her, she hurriedly picked out the medicinal materials, and pretended to hand the medicinal materials to the guards unintentionally, "Lord Hard, be careful." ”

The guard hurried back again, and seeing that he had gone away, Jiang Ning hurried to find Yuanzhi again.

"Something happened to Lord Shi." Jiang Ning dropped these words in Yuanzhi's ear.

Fuchiyuki panicked when he heard this, if something happened at such a critical juncture, I am afraid it would be very tricky. He lowered his voice, but couldn't hide his concern and asked, "Please also tell the girl in detail." ”

Jiang Ning informed Yuanzhi of what had just happened and the information she had received, and Yuanzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong and immediately went to contact her people.

Here she received the medicinal materials prepared by Jiang Ning, and found that it was mixed with a small piece of inconspicuous Angelica dahurica. She breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Jiang Ning had discovered the clues she had left behind.

Night falls, and it's time. She indiscriminately threw those medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace step by step, and suddenly thick smoke billowed like a sea of smoke.

"Put another small piece of phospholite. Be careful, phosphorite is flammable, don't put too much, just create smoke. Hanama repeatedly admonished.

She picked up the phospholite and put it in the palm of her hand, and threw it into the flames of the Dan furnace uninhibitedly, and in an instant, the Dan furnace was filled with smoke, and the whole room was immediately filled.

She knocked heavily on the door in a panic, and the guards outside the door also smelled the strong smell of smoke, so they hurriedly opened the door.

She held on to the pillars and coughed, but the smoke rose from the doorway.

"That should be the case for me." She thought, looking up at the long night.

"My lord, are you alright?" When the guard saw that there was smoke and dust in the house, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

She waved her hand, "It's okay, alchemy is like this, but you have to open the windows on both sides for me, otherwise I may not have time to run out next time." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, gave a look to the people on the side, and then turned around and said, "My lord, it's not that the villain refuses to open the window for you, it's just that the state lord's courtyard was originally designed to deal with the window, and at most it can only open a crack." The state lord is also thinking about his safety, so as not to let the thieves enter through the window. ”

She sighed in her heart, this Wang Miao also knew that she was guilty, and she was afraid of being attacked in her sleep.

"Then keep even a crack for me, you can't let me suffocate in it next time." She coughed a few more times.

There was always a sense of inadmissibility when she spoke, and the guard had no choice but to comply, and opened the window through a narrow slit.

"My lord, please come into the house."

She patted herself on the chest and staggered through the door.

Half an hour later, there was a rustling sound through the crack by the window, and a shallow figure was reflected in front of the window, and before she could fix her eyes, it disappeared. She cautiously moved to the window, only to see a folded note tucked into the gap.

She spread it out and looked at it, and there were four big words written on it, "Action the day after tomorrow." ”

It seems that the day after tomorrow will be Wang Miao's death.
