Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 52 Out of the City
Meng Feng was shocked by a word, and said with a wry smile: "Now the situation is so complicated, if you kill the son of the hundred families and be known by that madman, I don't dare to imagine what will happen later." ”
Xue Mu said: "It's better for you to temporarily lock up the children of the hundred families, and then release them after we leave Youzhou in the next few days." ”
Meng Feng knew that the matter was up to now, and he could only do this, he said to General Zhao: "Zhi'an, you now lead people to surround the hundred mansions and arrest the woman named Ruo Zhiyue, remember not to hurt the people of the hundred families." After catching Ruozhiyue, you will invite a few people from the hundred families to the courtyard next to the granary in the north of the city and watch them out. ”
After explaining the matter, Meng Feng said to Xue Mu: "Tomorrow according to the plan, junior brother, you will withdraw first with someone in disguise, in order to prevent being noticed by those who are interested, I will not send you, senior brother." ”
Xue Mu looked at the senior brother with pale sideburns and sighed: "Farewell tomorrow, you and I don't know when we will see each other again!" ”
Meng Feng hugged Xue Mu with emotion and said softly: "Be careful on the road!" ”
……
Shen Ye returned to the courtyard of the hundred families, and as soon as he took off his robe, he saw a red color outside the courtyard.
Shen Ye was shocked, and hurriedly lay back on the bed and pretended to sleep.
When Shen Ye was worried in his heart, Zhao Shen General led people into the house, Bai Zihuan and Bai Youyou were also awakened at this time, and the little girl was directly frightened and cried.
General Zhao walked into Shen Ye's room, looked at Shen Ye with a worried look on his face, and the empty bed opposite him, and shouted, "Where did Ruozhiyue go?" ”
Shen Ye rubbed his eyes and looked at General Zhao blankly, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.
Seeing that Shen Ye didn't look like he was in the know, General Zhao snorted coldly: "There are thieves in the inner city, and the people of the state capital are afraid that the people of the hundred families will lose, so please move with me to another place." ”
Bai Zihuan put on his coat, walked in angrily, and asked, "Is this the person in Mengzhou Mansion who wants to put my Bai family under house arrest in disguise?!" ”
General Zhao said lightly: "Childe doesn't know, if Zhiyue led people to attack the important places in the inner city, so that my Youzhou sergeant suffered countless casualties, and she has now absconded, can Childe know?" ”
Bai Zihuan looked at the empty bed, dumbfounded, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with us, we only got acquainted with her today." ”
General Zhao smiled and said: "This is also the meaning of the Mengzhou Mansion, but the Lord of the Prefecture is afraid that the woman will be cornered and will come back and hurt your lives, so he sent me to escort you to a safe place." ”
Bai Zihuan was afraid that this matter would affect several of his own people and hundreds of families, so he compromised and said, "Let's go with you." ”
Bai Zihuan looked at Shen Ye with a "confused look", walked up to him and whispered, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Brother Shen." ”
Shen Ye felt even more guilty when he heard this, and now he owed more to the hundred families.
……
Early the next morning, the important people of the major families in the city were invited to the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and these people couldn't help but be secretly frightened when they saw the corpses in the hall and Meng Feng with an angry face on the stage, wondering what happened last night.
Song Cheng didn't see anyone from a hundred families in the hall, and he knew that something was wrong, so he put on the same surprised look as everyone else.
Meng Feng stood on the stage and looked at the expressions of the people in the family below, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's all old foxes, hidden deep enough, it seems that it is difficult to find out this Ruozhiyue." ”
When he saw that the people of the six families had arrived, he said coldly: "Last night, when I was ugly, a group of assassins sneaked into my mansion in a vain attempt to assassinate me. ”
The head of the Yang family put an end to the riot under the field, stepped forward and asked, "Can the state lord find out the identity of these assassins?" ”
Meng Feng looked at General Zhao beside him, and General Zhao said meaningfully: "My Youzhou Division has found out that these people are all assassins from Yizhou, and the person who planned this action was a woman who pretended to be Ruojia Ruozhiyue, and now this woman has absconded, I don't know if you know where this person is?" ”
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, General Zhao sneered: "Come on, carry it up." ”
Several sergeants carried up several corpses one after another, and General Zhao said to the people of several families: "Everyone, please come forward and see, are there people from your family here?" ”
Bai Fengzhan said unhappily: "Mengzhou Mansion is laughing, how can someone from our family be an assassin. ”
Meng Feng said: "You can see it by looking at it. ”
Bai Fengzhan heard that Meng Feng's tone was not good, and he glanced at the old man beside him.
The old man in charge of the Bai family's martial arts selection understood, stepped forward to uncover the white cloth covering one of the corpses, and suddenly exclaimed, the voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and the old man said to Bai Fengzhan with an ugly face: "Master, this is the person we chose yesterday." ”
Bai Fengzhan said in disbelief: "How is it possible? ”
The old man said: "This man showed a good riding skill yesterday, I was happy to see it, so I took it down as a family guard, who ......knows?"
Bai Fengzhan said angrily: "Why don't you confirm his identity?!" ”
The old man said: "This man said that he is from Yizhou, and there is no flaw in the road guide he holds, how does the old man know that he will be an assassin!" ”
Bai Fengzhan looked at Meng Feng, who had cold eyes, and explained: "Lord Meng, this, my Bai family really doesn't know about this!" ”
With a few exclamations, several families recognized the person they had recruited yesterday from the corpses they had carried up.
Meng Feng looked at the panicked people in the audience and said, "You don't have to be nervous, I know that all families will never do anything to assassinate a member of the imperial court, but Lord Yuyao was assassinated first, and I was assassinated again last night, and the leader of the assassins has not been caught so far, so I have to doubt you." ”
Fang Sheng Mengqu on the side couldn't say clearly, the old man had a violent temper, and said angrily: "What about Mengzhou Mansion? Will we be put in prison?! ”
Meng Feng said with a smile: "Elder Fang doesn't have to worry, I just think that your residence will be very dangerous if it is not guarded by soldiers." ”
Song Cheng said secretly: "Oops, isn't it possible that the Mengzhou Mansion wants to tear its face and forcibly enter the house to search regardless of the face of the family?" ”
Liu Wanxiu, the head of the Liu family, intercepted and said, "The lord of the state capital wants to put me under house arrest? ”
Meng Feng: "Brother Liu's words are serious, since the families have a clear conscience, then it means that these assassins are very tricky, and they can sneak into each family unconsciously, and I sent soldiers to guard the mansions mainly for your safety." ”
Song Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Wanxiu was still about to speak, Song Cheng immediately raised his hand to stop him, Song Cheng took a step forward and said: "What Mengzhou Mansion said is very true, then everything is in Mengzhou Mansion, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
Meng Feng saw that someone agreed, and his heart was also relieved, didn't Meng Feng want to catch Ruo Zhiyue, who was absconding? Absolutely! It's just that he knows that the people of the family have always regarded face as more important than their lives, and it is already the limit of the family's acceptance to send troops to surround the family's residence, if they are forcibly searched, I am afraid that there will be an incident, and the teacher and others are about to leave, it is not appropriate to make a big deal at this time, and after the teacher leaves, it is not too late to find these people to settle accounts one by one.
Song Cheng asked, "Why don't you see the Shen family and the people of the Hundred Families?" ”
He snorted coldly: "As far as I am concerned, the people of the Shen family are the most suspicious!" ”
Bai Fengzhan also shouted: "Not bad! The hundred families are also very suspicious, how can any family send a child to be the main literary meeting? ”
Meng Feng is well aware of the grievances between the Song and Shen families, and they have been at odds with each other for a long time, "What the two of them said is reasonable, but they don't hide it, if Zhiyue lived in the hundred houses yesterday, now that Shen and the hundred families have been controlled by me, the two families will not participate in the literary meeting in the next few days." ”
Bai Fengzhan heard that the people of the hundred families were even more miserable now, and his heart immediately balanced, plus there were indeed people recruited by the Bai family yesterday among the assassins, and he was already at a loss, and there were accidents in Youzhou City one after another, and it was reasonable for the state capital to send sergeants to protect himself and others, so he no longer continued to entangle: "That is the case, then the safety of my Bai family will be the Lord of Laozhou Mansion." ”
There are two families, Bai and Song, and the other four are also reluctantly agreed.
......
At Meng Feng's suggestion, Xue Mu and the others also felt that it was better for them to go to Dongyi, although the terrain of Yaoshan was dangerous, but now Yaoshan was also inaccessible, and there were no soldiers to supplement after the people on their own side entered, if they were besieged by the imperial court, they would only slowly die in Yaoshan, and Dongyi's side was vast, and many places had not yet been occupied, and the strength of their own side was enough to occupy a place there, plus there were already Baiyi tribes who did not obey the control of Dongdaying and Ruojia, these people were equivalent to their allies, It's not impossible to make a comeback on your own, and the only thing to think about now is how to get there safely.
Xue Mu also considered the strategy of breaking the whole into pieces and scattering out of the state, but in order to prevent Qiao Qi from having an accident on the road, Xue Mu compromised the plan and changed the meeting place from Yizhou to Luzhou.
As Qiao Qi's most trusted disciple, Xue Mu, who was both wise and brave, took on the heavy task of exploring the route, and at this time, Xue Mu was leading a group of people to mix in the caravan in Luzhou and march towards the southeast.
Xue Mu and a few people sat around the truck, Xue Mu unfolded the map and pointed to a place: "We followed the caravan along the Youxuan border to the southeast, bypassed Yaoshan, and entered Luzhou, and then we stopped at the Luzhou border, waiting for Lord Shangshu and them to arrive, and our task is to disperse around immediately once we reach the border, and observe whether there are any official and military movements around, in case our plan is leaked and surrounded by the imperial court." ”
Xue Mu's subordinates looked at the markings on the map, and their eyes flashed with inexplicable gazes.
Xue Mu didn't hear an answer for a long time, frowned and shouted, "Is it all clear?!" ”
The people around them were shocked, looked at each other with evil intentions, and said in unison: "Remember, my lord!" ”
Xue Mu felt a little strange inexplicably in his heart, he thought about the plan again in his mind, and found that there was no major mistake, but this sense of worry became more and more serious, and he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that I was too nervous?" ”
The caravan had been traveling for four hours, and it was getting dark, and the caravan led by the caravan sent someone to spread the word, and the team was about to arrive at the border of Youxuan, and would enter the nearby town before dark to rest for the night.
Xue Mu was dressed in linen clothes and coarse cloth, pretending to be a fellow of the caravan, lying in the middle of the truck, he was closing his eyes and taking a nap, and the subordinates around him suddenly woke him up in a hurry, Xue Mu opened his eyes and looked at the anxious looks of his subordinates, sat up suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?!" ”
