Then the hall became a lot more lively, the green forest heroes have offered suggestions, some people proposed to uproot the Tibetan Tantra, and then some people planned how to besiege the Tantric Mountain Gate, a funeral, as if replacing the original Legalist conference after a month.

It was rare for Li Bing to see so many masters gathered together, and he listened to it energetically at first, but then he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

The first strange thing is that the clothes of the assassins of "Ebian County", the weaving of that kind of fabric, which is exclusive to the royal or forbidden army, has never been seen by ordinary people, let alone circulated in the market. That assassin wanted to come and have nothing to do with the Daming Palace. At this moment, I saw His Royal Highness the Prince's personal guards at the Green Forest Conference, if this matter has nothing to do with the imperial court, I am afraid it will not make sense.

He had been thinking about these things all the time, and the rhetoric of the people in the hall was vague. Just looking at Anzi's elation, it seems that the blood is boiling after being said.

Suddenly, Jiang Jikun said loudly: "Then wait for the good news for everyone!" Before the words fell, many green forest heroes had already rushed out, and for the reward of six million yuan, these people were racing against time.

Li Bing saw that the prince's personal guard was also going out, so he patted Anzi on the shoulder and hurriedly caught up.

Anzi glanced back at Yan Hao and couldn't help but be surprised: why was Brother Li in such a hurry and left without saying hello to Brother Yan. Seeing that Yan Hao was smiling and waving goodbye, he also hugged his fists and said goodbye, and followed Li Bing, but when he went out, he couldn't even see Li Bing's shadow.

The prince's guard looked at Li Bing and said in a low voice, "This is not the place to speak. So he led him into the alley beside him.

Before Li Bing could speak, the man glanced at the lack of people in the alley, and then half-knelt down and saluted: "The prince of Xiaguan Shaozhan is "Ge Liang", and he has seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang. I can't bow in the hall just now, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness. ”

"It's okay, get up and talk. Li Bing had too many secrets to unravel in his heart, so he helped him up and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ge Liang glanced at the entrance of the alley again, and replied in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that there were people in Bashu who were in trouble, so he sent me to inquire. Not long after I arrived here, I heard that something had happened to the Jiang family, so I went here to investigate, fortunately they were not targeting my Datang. After this errand, he is also ready to return to Beijing to resume his life. ”

Li Bingxin said: It turned out to be a habitual inspection, but I was too worried.

"I see, Bashu is indeed not peaceful, thank you for your hard work. He originally wanted to let Ge Liang leave, but suddenly glanced at Ge Liang meaningfully: "By the way, when you report to the prince, tell His Royal Highness the prince on my behalf and ask him not to tell my father my whereabouts." I'll be back shortly after my stay here. ”

Ge Liang clenched his fists and said yes, and said: "Then I will go out first, and His Royal Highness the Prince will come out after a while, so as not to arouse suspicion." His Royal Highness the Prince of the World should also be careful, Bashu has not been peaceful recently. ”

Li Bing nodded and motioned for him to leave first. But he didn't want Ge Liang to bump into Anzi when he came out of the alley, and the two looked at each other.

He was looking Anzi up and down, but he heard Li Bing shouting loudly inside, "Anzi, I'm here!"

Anzi seemed to be still unsatisfied with the previous Green Forest Conference, and at this moment he was rising, and his spirits were high: "Brother Li, why are you in such a hurry, you don't even say hello to Brother Yan." ”

Li Bingzheng was about to explain, but suddenly remembered something and patted his thigh: "I'll explain this to you later, now there is something for you to do." After speaking, Laanzi came to his side, leaned over and whispered: "The person who bumped into you just now, you go and follow him quietly, see where he has gone and who he has seen." When you're done, come here to me. ”

Anzi looked dazed, and was about to ask why, but he heard Li Bing urging again: "Go and follow, don't let him go far." You be careful, that person's kung fu is not low, and he is very cautious. ”

"You see, it's my job to track this, and it can't go wrong. At this moment, Anzi was stimulated by Li Bing's words, winked at him and smiled evilly, and immediately walked out of the alley.

On the other side, a wing room is spacious and rich, beautifully decorated, but the red cloud gauze tent, the pink peony carpet, and the smell of fat powder all over the room look a little tacky.

There was a man sitting in the room, sitting at the table, flipping through a scroll.

"Squeak~!" The door was pushed open, and the man didn't look up, but turned another page of the book: "The 'History of Tibet' you found is interesting, most of the stories are not recorded in the official history, and I am looking at it." ”

When the new person in the room heard this, he stopped talking and stood aside respectfully, this person was the former prince Shao Zhan, Ge Liang.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the scribe shook his head and smiled slightly: "I just said it casually, not to let you wait on the side." How's it going, is everything going well?"

Ge Liang clasped his fists and saluted: "Everything is as expected by His Highness, the people in the rivers and lakes have decided to start besieging the mountain gate of the Tibetan Tantric Sect tomorrow." ”

When the scribe heard this, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he struck the book on the palm of his hand, and said "You have worked hard in this matter." Now that everything is in order, you can go back and report to His Royal Highness the Prince. There is naturally a reward for the prince. ”

Ge Liang thanked him and was about to withdraw, when he turned around and came back: "By the way, I saw His Royal Highness King Xiangzi at Jiang's house just now, and he also recognized me." Afterwards, I told him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent me to inquire about the news, and he didn't seem suspicious. ”

The scribe was even more surprised than just now when he heard this, and said to himself: "Why is he here again!" After speaking, he picked up the 'long fan' on the table and slapped it twice in the palm of his hand, and said: "I know, this matter will be handled by me, you can go back and report to the prince." ”

Ge Liang saluted and withdrew. The scribe saw that the door was closed, and tapped the fan on the palm of his hand for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly shook off the fan and scraped the blade with his thumb nails, making a series of clear sounds.

"Everything was shocked, and the stinging insects were frightened away. The thunder of Bashu has fallen, Li Bing, Li Bing, if you still want to entangle and harm me, no wonder I ignore the friendship of the youth. ”

This person is none other than His Royal Highness the Third Prince who appeared in Leshan - Li Shu.

It is said that Bashu was originally hot, but at the moment the sky is full of dark clouds, and it has not rained for a long time, which makes it even more boring. Li Bing sat in the corner with two horses alone, he also felt stuffy, remembering that Anzi had untied his belt before, and he also wanted to reach out to untie it, but as soon as he touched it, he shook his head again, withdrew his hand and came back, just pulling his neckline.

He was originally thinking about the events of the past two days, trying to find clues, but there were no clues at all, thinking about it, but he remembered Yinglan'er, and was worried about whether the three of them went smoothly to Anbei.

Three hours passed, and the heavy rain was delayed, but it was stuffy and damp, so it was not uncomfortable. During this period, except for one person who thought Li Bing was a horse dealer and asked him for a price, no one paid attention to him. He was originally happy by nature, but he was really bored at the moment, so he sat in the corner of the wall and began to compare the swordsmanship in "Yangyue Sword Technique" with his fingers.

After a while, Anko finally returned, tired and sweating profusely and panting. Seeing Li Bing leaning against the corner, he also sat down, half leaning on Li Bing's side.

He was so hot that he unbuckled his belt and fanned himself with the placket of his clothes. This fan blew the smell of sweat to Li Bing's side.

Li Bing touched his nose slightly with his hand, but he also admired Anzi's straightforwardness, and immediately took the water bag and handed it to him.

Anzi picked up the kettle, poured two mouthfuls and smashed his mouth, shouting that it was comfortable. A stream of water flowed down the corner of his mouth into his arms, Anzi wiped it casually, took a long breath, and said, "Oh my God, this person can toss me to death." ”

Without waiting for Li Bing to ask, he wiped his mouth with his hand while fanning the wind: "Out of the alley, that person went around the city twice, from the east of the city to the west of the city, then to the north of the city, and then back to the west of the city, I was really tired." After an hour, the man finally went to a place, guess what?"

Without waiting for Li Bing to shake his head, Anzi slapped his leg and shouted: "It's actually a brothel! I wanted to follow up and take a look, but who knew that the ground guard saw that I was wearing too shabby, so he blocked me out. I had to wait outside. ”

Anzi poured another sip of water, and then said: "Fortunately, the man came out after a while, and then I followed him to the inn in the north of the city, and the man didn't eat, so he rode away, and looked at the direction, he was going out of the city to the north, in the direction of Chang'an." ”

Li Bingyan touched his chin when he heard this, his face was suspicious, and he suddenly had a plan, slapped Anzi on the back, and said, "Anzi, do you want to be an uncle?"

An Ziben was drinking water, but he was choked by Li Bing, and coughed twice: "I'm an uncle?"

Li Bing smiled evilly: "I haven't eaten a good meal in the past two days, so we'll go find a wronged boss in a while, rub it well, and then buy you clothes to nourish your spirit." Tonight, I'm going to 'visit the Red House at night'!"

In the passenger compartment of the Shufeng Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Shangyi walked to a room, looked around, and then quietly entered.

"How's it going, uncle, have you found anything?"

Another person sitting in the small study with him, dressed in a "small mourning dress", sat at the table. If Li Bing was here, he would definitely recognize him, it was the person who had met "a scar on his face and a gemstone scimitar" on the official road before. Li Bing originally knew from his horse team that the Shufeng Chamber of Commerce had a funeral.

This person's name is "Qin Maocong", and in the early years, the people in the rivers and lakes said: "Moshang Linghu". Originally, he started by selling smuggled salt in the Ganzhou area, but later when the imperial court quelled the rebellion, he donated 500 yuan, and was given the false position of "Jiupin Escort Deputy Lieutenant", so he had to be whitewashed and began to do serious business.

He has a younger sister "Qin Puer", not only born beautiful, but also more or less fluent, after he washed his white, began to help him manage the accounts, and later in the business to establish the heir of the Shufeng Chamber of Commerce at that time, Jiang Chengqian, back and forth, born feelings, he was willing to be his concubine, married in the second year and gave birth to "Jiang Shangyi".

It stands to reason that Jiang Shangyi was originally a concubine, but who would have expected that two years later, Bashu would have an epidemic, and the original partner would die, leaving only a daughter. At that time, among Jiang Chengqian's other four wives and concubines, only Qin Pu'er gave birth to a male son, so his mother relied on her son to become the main house. After that, Jiang Chengqian took over as the president, and Jiang Shangyi could justifiably become the heir as the 'eldest son' after the coming-of-age ceremony. However, when Jiang Chengqian died, he was still half a year away from the coming-of-age ceremony, and according to the family rules, his younger brother Jiang Jikun should take over as the acting president.

These are all foreign words. Seeing that Qin Maocong heard this, he shook his head slightly, and scraped his lips with his thumb: "There are no signs of poisoning." There were a total of four punches in the body, but only two of them were fatal, and the other two seemed to be blocked by your father and did not hurt the vital point. From the scars, I can't tell which family's exercises it is, but what is certain is that the person who killed him, although his martial arts are high, must not be a master like 'Tantric Ba Ruowang'. If it was really Ba Ruowang's shot, the two fatal injuries were definitely not as simple as breaking the meridians, and it was impossible for two punches to miss. ”

He paused: "It stands to reason that a person with such martial arts is almost on par with your father." If your father is prepared, you will have to dismantle at least fifty or sixty moves before you can see it, and it is impossible for you to die in your room without a sound!

"You still doubt the second uncle, but the second uncle doesn't practice martial arts, and even I can't beat him. Jiang Shangyi frowned when he heard this, and said, "What's more, the second uncle is very good to his father on weekdays." Also be courteous everywhere. ”

Qin Maocong shook his head and smiled slightly: "You are still young in the rivers and lakes, you don't understand these intrigues, if you are a brother, you will never be polite everywhere." Only when there is a gap in the heart will I be so careful. What's more, his 'Chongjing' is only three years older than you, and it is reasonable for him to plan for his son. These intrigues are far more powerful and unbearable than you think. ”

After he said this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he was slightly low: "Don't you remember whose hand we borrowed at that time to deliver the pastries made by the sick maidservant girl to your aunt's mouth? ”

After Jiang Shangyi listened, his face turned red, full of anger: "I was only three years old at the time, and I didn't understand anything. Don't mention it again, lest anyone else hear it!"

Qin Maocong was satisfied when he saw him angry, knowing that this example hit the nail on the head: "I'm just telling you that back then, your mother and I didn't hesitate to use our own son to frame a sister who got along very well for your future. What's more, now that the brothers are competing for the throne, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”

Jiang Shangyi knew that he couldn't talk about him, so he said: "But the second uncle's martial arts really can't beat Daddy, even if he sneaks in, it is absolutely impossible." ”

"This is also something I don't understand, unless ......" Qin Maocong paused, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Unless he has a helper, it is not impossible to get close to your father through him." ”

He touched his eyebrow with his index finger: "If only I could lure him out." After speaking, he rubbed his forehead again: "Or...... It's not bad to let him come to his true form...... Well...... I've got a solution. ”

Qin Maocong walked to the desk, studied the ink slightly, took out a piece of letterhead, tore it off, and wrote: "The matter is revealed, see you in the old place at the end of the unitary time." ”

As soon as I finished writing, I shook my head again and said to myself: "It's not good, it's not good, if things fail, I'll have to flee in the morning, and I won't wait until the unitary time to see you." This old place is too vague, not only to follow him, but also in case there is no old place, wouldn't it make him suspicious. ”

He took the torch and prepared to light a candle to burn the paper. As soon as he lit it, he blew it out in one gulp, stuffed the paper into his mouth and swallowed it, glanced at Jiang Shangyi, and said in a non-religious manner: "It's almost bad, be careful." ”

In broad daylight, if the fire fold in the room is lit, it will attract some attention. Qin Maocong even thought about this, and I have to say that he was cautious.

After speaking, he tore down another one and wrote: "Qin Maocong is checking on you, see you under the north willow tree in the garden at the end of the unitary time." ”

Jiang Shangyi saw him write this sentence and applauded: "Uncle wrote himself in, it's really wonderful." If it was really him, then what he was most afraid of was his uncle, which was really wonderful. The willow tree in the north of the garden is secluded and does not arouse suspicion. ”

Qin Maocong was also very satisfied, and suddenly shook his head again: "It's still not good." The note was crumpled up and handed to Jiang Shangyi.

Jiang Shangyi's face was full of doubts, but he heard Qin Maocong say: "You can't let me eat alone, you have to learn to do this kind of thing." ”

He saw that his uncle was still joking at this time, and he closed his eyes helplessly and shook his head and smiled: "Why don't you teach me something useful first." After speaking, he swallowed the note, and his face was squeezed: "It turns out that the ink tastes like this, it's a little astringent, and it's really not delicious." ”

saw Qin Maocong write again: "Qin is checking you, see you under the willow when you are unitary." After writing it, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's almost." ”

Jiang Shangyi also nodded again and again: "Awesome! Awesome! Just writing a Qin character obviously refers to you, even if someone else picks it up, they can't read anything, which is like the caution that a person who steals bad things should have." Haha, then how do we give this to him. Do you want me to throw it on his table while he's not there?"

When Qin Maocong heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "You, if only you could catch up with your mother's intelligence." After speaking, he seemed to remember something from the past, and said in a low voice: "It's not your fault, Pu'er left early, and my uncle is in Ganzhou, so he can't take care of you." From this day on, I will teach you. ”

He rolled the note into a roll and said, "It's too deliberate to throw it into the room, and if you want to leave no trace, it's better to let him find out for himself!"

After speaking, he handed the paper roll to Jiang Shangyi.

"You put this thing on the bottom of his bowl, and when you eat, he will naturally know. ”
