Chapter Forty-Nine: Losing Deals and Losing Soldiers

Yan Chen and the two disciples of the Flying Dragon Academy rushed into the backyard of the crude medicine shop, and seeing that Zhao Xinyi was lying on the ground and did not move, he hurriedly leaned over to check the latter's pulse, and the latter said with difficulty: "Don't waste the elixir or anything on me, I can't help it......"

"Little liar, you have to hold on!" Yan Chen's tears swirled in his eyes, and he raised his eyes to look at the other two, "Quickly lend me all your elixirs!" The princess spoke, the other two did not hesitate, one took out a jade bottle and handed it to her, took the jade bottle, she hurriedly selected a pill of the highest grade from it and fed it to Zhao Xinyi, the latter looked painful, and said in a weak tone: "Princess, with these pills, I estimate that I won't be able to die for a while, you go after Li Kuiwei, don't let that guy run away!" ”

"Good job, little liar!" Yan Chen finally couldn't hold back, tears still flowed out, and he didn't raise his head embarrassed, and said to the other two: "You go after Li Kuiwei, I'm here to guard in case that fight is a horse pistol!" ”

The other two said goodbye and walked off the wall together.

"Little liar, how are you?" Yan Chen poured out another pill.

Zhao Xinyi was in pain, and said, "How about you leave the pill and take a look at Ergou first?" ”

Before the words fell, I heard the voice of Ergou in the corner of the courtyard, "Dao Chief, I'm fine!" With a heavy cry, "Thank you, Chief!" I avenged half of my father's revenge! ”

It turned out that before a cup of tea, Ergou took advantage of the time when Zhao Xinyi and Li Kuiwei were fighting, grabbed the shopkeeper Zhang who had no legs, and said coldly: "Your words, my father will not dare to forget them for the rest of his life," tears flowed down, "you ......" wept silently, his eyes were scarlet, and he kicked the shopkeeper Zhang in the chest, kicking the latter so much that he was spurting blood, screaming again and again.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" Although the shopkeeper Zhang lost his legs, he also wanted to live, and couldn't help begging for mercy, "I know who killed your father!" ”

Ergou was first shocked, then his face was full of grief, and then with a little resentment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Master Qian!" ”

"Qian Lingwu!" Ergou's eyes were scarlet, he was furious, and kicked on the neck of the shopkeeper, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and his neck was kicked off by him, and the shopkeeper screamed and swallowed.

On the other side, Zhao Xinyi couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't take Yan Chen away even if he tried his best, and he couldn't wait to snatch the two bottles of pills directly from Yan Chen's hands.

Ergou opened his mouth and said, "Dao Chief, is that atlas still in your hand?" ”

"The Fish Scale Atlas?" Yan Chen stared at Zhao Xinyi with blazing eyes.

Zhao Xin felt a big head for a while, and hurriedly said: "The thing is no longer there, and it was snatched away by Li Kuiwei for that guy!" ”

"Little liar, are you telling the truth?" Yan Chen didn't believe it at all, and began to search Zhao Xinyi's body, and easily searched out the fish scale atlas from his arms, and couldn't help but be annoyed, "You little liar really didn't tell the truth!" ”

Zhao Xinyi hurriedly changed his words: "I wanted to surprise you, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating!" The princess can take the album, but I have a few small conditions, I wonder if you can agree? ”

Yan Chen was in a good mood and said, "Let's hear it!" ”

Zhao Xinyi: "First, I helped you get this atlas, Li Kuiwei said that he wanted to give me a hundred taels of gold, but I didn't give it to him." Now to you, princess, you have more status than that guy, why do you have to give me a thousand taels of gold! Second, I also exposed Li Kuiwei's true face for the princess, and it can be regarded as pulling out a stinger for my Beiyan to protect my Beiyan Sheji, which is not a matter of a thousand taels of gold! However, thinking that we have the love of living and dying together, I don't want more from you, so you can give me another 10,000 taels of gold, plus 200 talent posts, and 40 demon pills above the foundation building period, how about it? ”

Yan Chen rolled his eyes, rubbed his forehead vigorously with his hand, and then shouted: "You think these things are all cabbage, just buy a basket?" ”

"Since it's a sale, the price can be negotiated!" Zhao Xin didn't feel embarrassed at all, and opened the posture of bargaining for the stall to buy vegetables and sell vegetables.

A bright light flashed in Yan Chen's eyes, "Little liar, was my demon pill stolen by you?" ”

"Demon pill? What demon pill? Do you have a demon pill? "Zhao Xinyi secretly said that it was broken, how could he forget this stubble!

Yan Chen moved directly, twisted his ears, and grabbed his hair.

The two of them were fighting here, and Zeng Jianshen returned to the courtyard over there, and when he saw this scene, his face instantly became gloomy. Only then did Yan Chen stop and look at Zeng Jianshen, who shook his head and said, "Let that guy escape!" ”

Yan Chen shook the booklet in his hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother, we haven't gained nothing!" ”

"This is the Fish Scale Atlas?" Zeng Jianshen was a little surprised, seeing Yan Chen nodding happily, his gaze at Zhao Xinyi was a little colder.

……

Wuning City, the Governor's Mansion.

Hong Jiangcheng sat upright in the signing room, staring at the letter on the big case with a pair of eyes, and his face was gloomy. In the next moment, he got up suddenly, slapped his palm on the big case, and the high-grade mahogany case shattered. The old butler waiting outside the door sighed secretly, hesitated slightly, bowed his waist, and trotted in quickly.

Hong Jiangcheng was furious, "Get out, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

The old butler shrunk his neck, turned to go.

"Come back!" Hong Jiangcheng suddenly changed his mind, took a deep breath, and paced to the window, the window sash was ajar, the night breeze was cold, and when he looked up at the sky, there were no stars and moons. With his back to the old butler, his tone was cold, "Kill them all!" ”

"Oh!" The old housekeeper replied casually, frowned, suddenly thought of something, stiffened, and asked tentatively, "That Young Master Zhiyu?" ”

"Equal treatment." Hong Jiangcheng's voice was calm and cold, like this night sky.

"Oh!"

……

White Rock County.

Zhao Xinyi and a few people tossed until midnight before returning to the inn to rest in the "welcome house", and the more Zhao Xinyi lay on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became. Two questions: first, he flipped through the fish scale atlas from beginning to end, as Hong Zhiyu said, all the tuntian was occupied by Jiang Shoujing and Zhang Zhiyuan, and it had nothing to do with him, let alone his uncle Hong Jiangcheng. To put it bluntly, with this thing alone, it is impossible to make Hong Jiangcheng obedient. And Li Kui tried his best for them, and took a lot of pains, it couldn't be just for such a thing, this thing was at most an additive. Most likely, this is just a fishing bait, and the big fish they really want to catch is what Hong Zhiyu wants to destroy. It's hard to say, it's all in their calculations, and it's more likely that they've already got their hands on it!

The second, and even more surprising to him, was that the album was fake! There should be no problem with the handwriting, the number of acres and the private occupiers, and ordinary people can't see any clues even if they look at it for three days and three nights. However, he is different, since he was a child, he has followed the old Taoist priest to learn to draw talismans, and the way of talismans is thousands of miles away. Therefore, he pays special attention to the subtle changes of his brushstrokes, and the turns, depths, and strength cannot escape his eyes. And although the handwriting on each page of the atlas is different, he believes that even if it is compared with the handwriting of Jiang Shoujing and others, there is no difference, but the force of these words is about the same, the depth is similar, and it is clearly done by one person!

From this point of view, there is a big problem behind this, someone stretched out an invisible hand behind the scenes, concealed the world, and deceived Hong Zhiyu and Li Kui for both parties. As for Yan Chen, it is difficult to say that Zeng Jian knows that he doesn't know the hidden secret. If Zeng Jianshen knew, it would mean that the person behind the scenes was a hidden stake set up by the emperor. If not, things are even more complicated.

For this reason, he also specially tested Yan Chen and Zeng Jianshen on the way back, asking if this booklet was really useful to them. As he spoke, he carefully watched the changes in Yan Chen and Zeng Jianshen's expressions.

Yan Chen raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "Nonsense, of course it's useful!" ”

There is no scheming, obviously this girl doesn't know at all, and Zeng Jianshen's complexion has not changed significantly, it's hard to say, Zhao Xinyi further probed: "This thing can't be fake, right?" ”

"Show me!" Yan Chen frowned, looking impatient. Zeng Jian glared at Zhao Xinyi angrily, with an unkind face, completely with an angry expression of being provoked, teased, and angry. It seems that he didn't know it either, Zhao Xinyi sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, I'm just joking." The album will be given to you right away, but I also have a few small requests. ”

"Sure enough, I didn't have a good heart!" Yan Chen snorted, his face full of disdain.

Zhao Xinyi fell into deep thought, presumably, the real fish scale atlas was in the hands of the person behind the scenes. Nine times out of ten, the more important evidence fell into the hands of that man!

What a master, but also a terrible person!

……

Wuning City, Fanhua Building, the largest green building in the Northern Yan Kingdom. Some of the girls in the building are as beautiful as flowers, some are talented, each has their own strengths, it is by no means comparable to ordinary rouge vulgar powder, dignitaries and nobles, literati and ink writers are happy to come here for pastime, every day is lively and extraordinary, known as "the first floor of Beiyan", the real gold cutting cave.

The third into the courtyard, a little deserted, there is a courtyard in the courtyard, there are seven small courtyards, different flowers and bamboos, very chic. Here, not ordinary nobles can enter, and those who come and go are nobles among nobles.

Tianzi No. 3 Courtyard, also known as "Caiyu Courtyard", there is a pond in the courtyard, raising all kinds of koi, so it is named. The piano is harmonious, tactful and affectionate, and the beautiful music floats into the air from the house.

"Good!" A hearty compliment came from the room, and it was a middle-aged man's voice, "There are many rewards!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" The two women stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Let's go down first!" The middle-aged man said through the curtain.

"Yes!" The two women were obedient and turned to leave.

As soon as the two left, a man in black appeared in the room, without a sound, as if he appeared out of thin air. The whole body is wrapped in a black robe, and there is no real face.

The middle-aged man behind the curtain said lightly: "How is the matter?" ”

The black robe shook his head and said, "Something went wrong." "It's a woman's voice, listen to it gently," Li Kui's identity was revealed, and he didn't know where he was now, and he had no news at all, and he became a waste. ”

"What a piece of rubbish!" The middle-aged man shouted angrily, breathed a sigh of relief, and calmed down, "What's going on on the other side?" ”

The black-robed woman spoke: "Qian and Fan haven't heard from them yet, so I don't know what has been delayed. ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Send someone to find it, I've been planning for so long, and there can't be any mistakes here!" ”

"Yes!" The black-robed woman silently disappeared into the room.

After a while, the singing and dancing in the room continued.
