Chapter 525: Where the Hell Is It?
It took most of the night just to coordinate the accommodation. From the master to the slave, everyone was not satisfied.
Yan Saburo's room was crowded in with two more people, and now it was a room for six people, and no one had a place to sleep.
The moon and stars are scarce in the sky, and the night is already dark. He Xiaoyuan stood up and said to Yan Sanlang, "Let's go get some water to drink, we're thirsty." ”
The two of them went out and walked to the well. The guards came up to stop and ask, He Xiaoyuan showed his identity and nameplate, and the other party did not embarrass them, but said: "Go back quickly after drinking." ”
Yan Saburo looked at no one on the left and right, and then asked her in a low voice, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Hmm. He Xiaoyuan didn't squint, and responded in a low voice.
It's the middle of the night, and it's too late if you don't do it. Being in the same place with the enemy, she only felt that her heart was like frying, and she couldn't wait to run to the mountain and cut King Wei in two!
The two turned into the path, and the lights were blind all the way, and others couldn't see their actions clearly, so Yan Saburo spoke: "Do you want to do it or do it?" Yan Saburo also knew that she only had two choices, either to summon them or to attack the people here.
"Shoot. "He Xiaoyuan has already figured it out, even if he can send out the message, it will take time for the Zhenbei army to arrive, and at that time, King Wei is almost at his destination, and it will be too difficult to kill him by himself.
Yan Saburo's eyes flashed: "How to do it?"
"Nope. Walking in front of two small people, He Xiaoyuan waited for them to go away before whispering two words: "Well water." ”
Yan Saburo understood at once: she was going to poison the well.
Wushi Fort is located in the mountainous area, and a rare high wall was built on all sides, which was originally to defend against the invasion of bandits. But here is halfway up the mountainside, the front and back are dense forests, the left and right sides of the high mountains, very windproof, plus a high wall to intercept, the mountain wind blows into the village has become a gentle breeze, and the winter will not be biting.
This is a deliberately created livable environment, which shows the wisdom of the villagers. However, the fact that the wind is very small indicates that the air circulation is poor, and Tsubazaburo noticed this almost as soon as he entered. If he is He Xiaokite, he will choose a large-scale poisonous miasma, causing the enemy to be poisoned unknowingly and lose his combat effectiveness.
Chitose smiled and said, "Look up, the powerful are in a high place, and the miasma can't overwhelm them." ”
Yan Saburo raised his head when he heard this. Indeed, Wushibao is built on a mountain, the place is small but very three-dimensional, and people of high status live high, and the vertical distance between the apex and the ground is at least four zhang (thirteen meters). If King Wei was really in Wushi Fort, he should have lived there.
The poisonous fog is most afraid of dispersed winds, and the wind strength in the high places has increased, and even if the effectiveness of this thing is still there, I am afraid that it will be greatly weakened.
However, He Xiaokite's first choice was to poison the well water.
They lived in for a long time, and He Xiaoyuan had already figured out that there were fourteen wells in the entire Wushi Fort, and there were no flowing streams. Originally, the terrain was high in the middle of the mountain, and the stream did not pass through it. The magnates on the top of the mountain can be protected from the poisonous mist, but they cannot afford not to drink water.
He Xiaoyuan is a master of killing people invisibly, as far as he knows, at least three Wei generals died in the "accidents" she created, but he couldn't even grasp her handle. Yan Saburo also had to sigh that an expert like her, even if she was in a hurry, her planning was still more thorough than him.
But he shook his head: "No. ”
This time, He Xiaoyuan was puzzled: "Why?"
"The Sun family didn't come, they left Shengyi one step ahead of us. Yan Saburo's eyes flashed, "There are other places to stay." ”
He Xiaoyuan's footsteps paused slightly, but then returned to normal.
She was startled, her impatience was calmed down, and she calmed down: "Okay, I know." ”
When the court advised the doctor's surname to be Sun, he originally had no money, but he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The wealthy merchant had no son, and after his death, the family property was left to this Sun adult, so the Sun family became rich.
Money is still in the second, the Sun family manages many time-honored brands under their name, among which the sales of balsamic vinegar sold by "Xingnan Vinegar Shop" account for more than 30% of Shengyi. Considering the large population of Shengyi, this income is extremely impressive.
Coincidentally, there was a spy under He Xiaoyuan who was placed in the vinegar shop head office to manage the small account. On the day the Liao family was beheaded, the Sun family suddenly asked each store to take inventory, and the shopkeepers sent all the money in the shop to the Sun Mansion, with the original words "Don't delay for a moment".
This is just one of the pieces of information He Xiaoyuan received. Before and after the birds airdropped information to Shengyi, the news she received was like snowflakes, and some of them inevitably missed it, but she didn't expect Yan Saburo to have a good memory, and when she suddenly mentioned the Sun family, He Xiaoyuan immediately reacted.
Sun Fu even swept away the money from the business turnover, and it was impossible not to run away. But it was the middle of the night, and the Sun family didn't come to Wujiabao.
Why?
The probability of an accident on the way is very small, so there is only one explanation:
They went somewhere else.
That is to say, there are not only these groups of magnates who evacuated Shengyi, and their meeting place is not just a Wujiabao!
This speculation is reasonable, after all, the risk of being caught is correspondingly reduced.
Then here comes the trouble: where is King Wei?
What if he wasn't in Wujiabao, but hiding in some other rendezvous point?
Deyan Saburo reminded that He Xiaoyuan suddenly felt tricky, but she bit her lip: "It is very likely that King Wei is hiding here." ”
"Why?" what did he miss?
"Intuition. ”
“......”
He Xiaoyuan shrugged his shoulders: "Besides, my luck has never been bad. ”
Yan Saburo was speechless, so he had to say: "I'm afraid that the Zhenbei Army will also make mistakes." ”
King Wei divided the evacuated magnates into several routes, which made it more difficult for the Zhenbei army to track. So if they don't send back accurate information, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for backup.
There were two guards standing by the well, and a small servant who specialized in fetching water.
Before the well water came up, the queue waiting for water had already discharged seven or eight people, and Yan Saburo and He Xiaoyuan were silent when they walked here.
The servant lifted the bucket and poured water into everyone's bowls.
It was Yan Saburo's turn, he drank it all in one gulp, and took out a sheepskin water bladder: "I'm sorry for you." ”
The opening of this water bladder is too small, how can I fill it with a bucket? Yan Saburo said kindly: "I'll do it myself." "If you look down, you have to dip the water bladder into the bucket.
The two guards shouted again and again: "Stop, what are you doing!"
"Irrigation. The young man looked puzzled, "One bowl is not enough to drink, Master Bing." ”
"Get out of the way, don't go near the well!"
Yan Saburo had to retreat stupidly, but he knew in his heart that this was to prevent someone from poisoning the barrel. The precautions are so meticulous, there are masters in the Wushi Fort.
He drank another bowl of water, and then he heard a shrill sound, like a rooster being pinched in the throat.
"Fetch a bucket of water. ”
This kind of voice is different from that of a normal man, and when you hear it, you know that it is a eunuch in the palace.
