Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 59 The First Clues
The hearts of the old man and the others suddenly burst out, was it exposed?
The soldier rushed to the old man with a resolute expression, and the old man looked at his expression, knowing that something was wrong, and before he could speak, he saw the soldier open the lid of the barrel in front of him with one hand, and ripped off the old man's face cloth with the other.
"Gross."
The old man was closest to the wooden barrel, and the cloth was torn, and he was directly fainted by the smell.
The soldier said intermittently while spitting: "Call you him, vomit, damn, vomit, disgusting me, vomit." ”
The soldier took a sip from the old man, and walked back with a light footstep.
......
"Stop! Someone ahead! ”
The group carried the old man, placed the dung cart in the crop field outside the city, and ran in the southeast direction, just ran for a while, they heard the sound of heavy horses' hooves, and in the fog ahead, dozens of war horses were faintly rushing.
The first black-faced general is Yuwen Hu, who is stationed in the southeast of the city for thirty miles, Yuwen Hu saw that it was foggy today, and he was afraid that Youzhou would take advantage of the fog to break through, so he personally took the Beifu Iron Horse to patrol around early in the morning.
The war horses and armor of the Beifu Iron Cavalry were too special, and these people could distinguish them at once, and one of them said to Yuwen Hu: "The general is from Beifu?" ”
Yuwen Hu said: "I am the iron rider of Beifu Yuwen Hu, who are you?" ”
"It turned out to be General Yuwenhu, and we are subordinates of Dugujing in the East Battalion, and we have something important to report!"
"Dugu Jing?"
Yu Wenhu frowned, he looked at the token handed over by the man, and said to them: "This is not the place to speak, you go back to the camp with me." ”
In the tent, Yu Wenhu endured the unpleasant stench of several people, and his eyes flashed with a shrewd color that did not match his rough appearance, and said: "Are you saying that Dugu Jing has already had news and knows that something will happen in Youzhou City?" ”
One person replied: "Exactly, so the old general first sent General Shao and his personal guard Junqiong to inquire about the news, and asked Miss Ruojia to take us to pick them up." ”
Yu Wenhu said: "Then have you heard the news of the prince in the city?" ”
The man and the others glanced at each other, and a look of confusion appeared on their faces, and he was stunned: "Prince? ”
"It's none of your business, here! Give them a few horses and let them hurry back to the eastern camp. ”
Yu Wenhu muttered in his heart: "It is said that people in Dongyi don't like to take a bath, but now it seems to be true, the smell is too big!" ”
After sending a few people away, Yuwen Hu saw that the fog had dissipated, and knew that Youzhou had no intention of breaking through the fog, so he thought: "Presumably, Youzhou City received news last night, knowing that we have besieged Youzhou, so we closed the city gate, afraid that we will send someone into the city to inquire about the news of the prince." He thought of the caravan last night, and it seemed that he might have really stopped the people of Jiuqu.
"General, our men have all withdrawn to the camp, but when we returned, we found that the gates of Youzhou seemed to be open again."
"Huh?" Yu Wenhu heard the advice of his subordinates, and showed a puzzled look: "The south city gate is open?" Can you see clearly? ”
The subordinate replied, "Not only the south gate, but also the other gates have been opened. ”
"Which one did this Meng Feng do?"
The subordinate asked, "General, do you want the people of the hundred families to enter the city?" ”
Yu Wenhu waved his hand and said, "Let them in and let them be careful." ”
He looked up at the dense clouds in the distance, and cursed in his heart: "This ghost weather, it seems that the fog has not dissipated for long, and the autumn rain is coming again." ”
……
After Bai Zihuan returned to the house with his sister, he tossed and turned all night, worried.
Early this morning, he wanted to tell Shen Song, who was in the state capital, the news of Shen Ye's arrest, but his courtyard was surrounded by soldiers from Youzhou, and he had no chance to leave.
Maybe you should try to ask others for help, Bai Zihuan thought in his heart, among these families, only the Chang family has always been friendly with his own family, but he has also heard of the head of the Chang family, unlike the previous generation of Chang family heads, this generation of Chang family heads is a master who never takes risks, and it is basically impossible for him to help ask for people from the state capital.
As for the other families, Bai Zihuan suddenly thought of Song Cheng, he saw Song Cheng and Shen Ye leave together at the dinner that day, and then Song Cheng also helped him, thinking about Song Cheng's skills and temper, maybe he could beg someone to sneak into the state mansion to inform Shen Song.
Bai Zihuan hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate, and was stopped by the soldier at the door, who asked, "Where is Childe going?" ”
Bai Zihuan said angrily: "Where does this son go, I still need to report to you?" ”
"It really does, otherwise we won't let Childe go." The soldier said expressionlessly, and the two soldiers beside him also stopped in front of Bai Zihuan when they saw this.
Bai Zihuan said helplessly: "I'll go to see the Song family." ”
Several soldiers looked at each other and moved out of the way.
Bai Zihuan walked out, and when he saw the soldier chasing after him closely, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "What are you doing?" ”
The soldier smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Gongzi will meet Dongyi's assassins." ”
Bai Zihuan knew that the soldier was secretly reminding him that he had not cleared his suspicion, so he held back his anger, didn't say anything more, and walked in the direction of Song Cheng's courtyard.
When he got closer, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he thought that because of Ruo Zhiyue, Youzhou would send someone to monitor him, but he didn't expect that there were more people guarding Song Cheng's courtyard, and the person at the head was Qiao Zheng.
Bai Zihuan had seen Qiao Zheng's power in Liu Qingyao's courtyard at that time, and he stopped, since Song Cheng was regarded as more dead than himself, there was no need for him to beg others.
Bai Zihuan turned around and bumped into Liu Wanxiu, the head of the Liu family, walking over with a square box in his hand.
Liu Wanxiu was also surprised when she saw Bai Zihuan: "Isn't this the son of a hundred families?" ”
Bai Zihuan bowed and said, "I've seen Uncle Liu, where is Uncle Liu?" ”
Liu Wanxiu said: "Yesterday, a wealthy merchant from Yangzhou offered a piece of beautiful jade, and it happened that I just remembered it, let Song Cheng give me an appreciation, is the son of the hundred families also going to see Song Cheng?" ”
Before Bai Zihuan could speak, Liu Wanxiu directly pulled Bai Zihuan's arm and walked towards Song Cheng's residence, Bai Zihuan looked at Liu Wanxiu followed by two Youzhou soldiers, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that people from all families are being monitored so closely. ”
Qiao Zheng leaned against the courtyard gate, thinking about his thoughts, and when he saw Bai Zihuan and the head of the Liu family coming together, he raised his vigilance and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
The soldiers behind the two stepped forward and whispered, Qiao Zheng looked at the box in Liu Wanxiu's hand and stretched out his hand: "I want to check." ”
Liu Wanxiu didn't look at him, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that your hands will dirty my things!" He lifted his leg and stepped over the courtyard gate.
The corners of Qiao Zheng's mouth curled, his figure flashed, he came to Liu Wanxiu, and smiled contemptuously: "Others are afraid of your family like a tiger, but I am not afraid!" In my eyes, you are not as good as those soldiers on the battlefield. Show me something! ”
Bai Zihuan felt Liu Wanxiu's trembling in his hands, knowing that the head of the Liu family was extremely angry at this time, he hurriedly said: "This is a treasure jade worth a thousand gold, if you damage one place, you can't afford to pay for your life." ”
Qiao Zheng ignored Bai Zihuan, he looked at Liu Wanxiu with an angry face, and pulled out the sword on his waist: "If you don't let me check, you won't think about it." ”
Liu Wanxiu turned her head and smiled at Qiao Zheng: "You must watch it?" ”
Qiao Zheng cocked his chin and looked at him Liu Wanxiu: "Not bad." ”
Liu Wanxiu threw the box to the ground suddenly, a piece of jade pendant bounced to the ground from the inside and broke in half, looking at Bai Zihuan with a big mouth, Liu Wanxiu said: "I don't want this jade, Your Excellency picks it up and looks at it!" ”
Then he pulled Bai Zihuan to strut, past Qiao Zheng, who looked ugly, and walked into the house.
Bai Zihuan sighed in his heart: "I am worthy of being the head of my family, and I would rather be "broken jade" than humiliated." ”
Liu Wanxiu pushed open the door and saw Song Cheng sitting on the chair in front of him, looking at the two of them with a smile, Bai Zihuan hurriedly closed the door, blocking the eyes of everyone outside the hospital.
And he stepped forward, arched his hand and said, "The three gentlemen have seen it?" ”
Liu Wanxiu sat next to Song Cheng and said angrily: "This person has probably been watching the play inside." ”
Song Cheng smiled, then frowned and snorted coldly at Bai Zihuan: "I said, Bai Family Prince, don't call me Mr. Three in the future, these three Mr. are the privileges I gave to my little friend of the Liu family, not everyone can call them." ”
Bai Zihuan was a little annoyed when he saw that Song Cheng was not speaking in a good tone, but at this moment, he had to ask for help, so he had to endure and say: "Uncle Song, I have something to ask for." ”
Song Cheng poured Liu Wanxiu a cup of tea and said, "Let's hear it." ”
Bai Zihuan said: "Last night, Mengzhou Mansion took my family Bai Ziye away, I don't know where he was imprisoned, can Uncle Song save it?" ”
Song Cheng's hand pouring tea paused, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Shen Ye's rescue of the Ruo family woman was exposed the night before?" But he said, "Why should I care about you hundred people?" ”
Bai Zihuan gritted his teeth, now only the person in front of him may be able to help Shen Ye, Bai Zihuan said in a low voice: "Uncle Song, I can't hide it, Bai Ziye is actually named Shen Ye, he is the son of the Shen family, and he has an uncle named Shen Song who is now in the study of the state capital......
"Shut up!" Song Cheng shouted.
The loud voice attracted the attention of Qiao Zheng outside the hospital, and Qiao Zheng said strangely: "There was a quarrel inside?" ”
Bai Zihuan looked at Song Cheng with an angry face in surprise, and said, "Why is my uncle ......?"
Liu Wanxiu sighed and said to Bai Zihuan: "You kid doesn't know, the Song and Shen families have always had a grudge, just like you Bai and the Bai family, don't mention the matter of the Shen family in front of Song Cheng in the future, you can go back quickly." ”
Bai Zihuan regretted in his heart, he knew that he should not mention Shen Ye's identity, and he left the mansion unhappy.
Song Cheng and the others looked at his back, and Liu Wanxiu praised: "Bai Jingxiao is scheming, and Bai Shixiang is not far behind, I didn't expect this Bai Zihuan to be so straightforward." ”
Song Cheng didn't know what to think, and sighed: "Who doesn't want their children to live a simpler life." He looked at Liu Wanxiu and said, "Say, what did you find?" ”
Liu Wanxiu had an interesting look on her face: "Discovery? I'm just here to let you appreciate the jade pendant. ”
Song Cheng shook his head and smiled: "I'm not confused, you can't give a jade pendant in person." ”
Liu Wanxiu stopped pretending, he became serious: "Things may be worse than we think." ”
Song Chengruo looked at him meaningfully: "You mean the child who guards the gate of my courtyard?" ”
Liu Wanxiu looked at him in surprise for a moment, then got up and prepared to leave: "It seems that I don't need to talk nonsense." ”
"Eh, sit down, sit down, you say yours, I'm just guessing." Song Cheng pulled him back.
Liu Wanxiu said: "I am using the jade pendant today to test the identity of the child named Qiao Zheng, who wants to see this hundred sons hesitating not far from your courtyard gate, I expected him to have something to tell him, so I brought him over." ”
Liu Wanxiu paused and got to the point: "In order to make Qiao Zheng pay attention, I deliberately put the jade pendant in a red box, and sure enough, he fell for my strategy and had a dispute with me. ”
Song Cheng saw that Liu Wanxiu was not on topic for a long time, and knew that he was still tempting, so Song Cheng said impatiently: "He mentioned the battlefield." ”
Liu Wanxiu saw that Song Cheng was really the same as what he found, so he no longer hesitated, and said directly: "That kid said that in his eyes, we clans are not as good as those soldiers on the battlefield. ”
Song Cheng continued: "Now there are only people from the four battalions who can go to the battlefield, and the people of the four battalions will not let such a big child go to the battlefield. ”
Liu Wanxiu stared at Song Cheng: "So, I boldly guess that he is a person from Jiuqu." ”
Song Cheng said: "It's very likely, when I was in the Xiaoyou Courtyard that day, I fought with this child, this person has infinite manpower, he is ruthless, and his eyes are full of murder, I suspected the identity of this person at that time, but my thoughts were too chaotic at that time, and I didn't think about it in the mountains at all." ”
Song Cheng looked at Liu Wanxiu's melancholy and said in a deep voice: "Since you and I have guessed the origin of this child, then you should also understand in your heart what the events of that day represent." ”
"That day?"
Liu Wanxiu was puzzled, and then remembered something, and was shocked.
