The Mengyuan soldiers sent from Xicheng moved towards the courtyard of Xiao Wuzhong's house one by one, although they did not clearly surround the courtyard, but they also stood at various points in the courtyard, as long as there was a situation in the courtyard, the Mengyuan soldiers outside the courtyard could rush up and rush into the courtyard at the same time.

It seems that Xiao Wuzhong is really ready for both, but now he is still chatting calmly with Xiao Bo and the others, who still don't know the situation......

"Abo, this is the first time you have come to the humble house, senior brother, I haven't had time to prepare for ......the reception," Xiao Wuzhong said with a smile, "Why don't you send back the 'Bai Ling Fengjin' later, senior brother, I would like you to have a drink in the house?"

"Then you don't have to bother Senior Brother Wuzhong......" Xiao Bo also replied with a smile, "Master's side still has important things to explain, and when we get back the tokens of the Gangzhong, we also have to hurry back to the villa, and I ask Senior Brother Wuzhong to forgive me......"

"It seems that the junior brothers and sisters really listen to the old man's words, so it's ......," Xiao Wuzhong continued, "But the junior brothers and sisters have come all the way to talk about their affairs, otherwise I, as a senior brother, will not be too responsible......

"Actually, when Senior Brother Wuzhong returned to Xiaojia Villa that day, he had already talked about a lot of idle things...... Xiao Bo said with a smile, "If there is really something to talk about, just came to this Lingguan City, we saw the ruins of houses everywhere, I don't know what happened to Lingguan City?"

Xiao Wuzhong listened to Xiao Bo's question, his eyes rolled, and then replied with a smile: "Hmph, in fact, it has nothing to do with senior brother...... Just the day before yesterday, I don't know what kind of thief was bold. actually offended Wang Dasheng, the Bianliang guard general who came to Lingguan City to inspect. As a result, Wang Dasheng was angry and used strong gunpowder to blow up the thief who did not know the height of the sky, and the ruins of those buildings were just traces of gunpowder explosion......"

Xiao Wuzhong finished speaking. Xiao Tian couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he knew that the "thief" Xiao Wuzhong was talking about was Su Jia, who had a hard fight with Wang Dasheng the day before yesterday.

"Wang Dasheng is the chief general of Bianliang to defend the city, and it is said that his martial arts are extremely terrifying, and what thief dares to take the initiative to provoke General Wang?" Xiao Bo asked inadvertently, "Moreover, even if it is really just a thief, why use gunpowder in a big way?" Where did all that gunpowder come from?"

Xiao Bo's words seemed to have some questions about Xiao Wuzhong, and Xiao Wuzhong also seemed to hear a trace of something wrong in these words, so he asked with a smile: "What." Bo, are you interested in the matter of a thief the day before yesterday?"

Xiao Bo couldn't help but feel that the question he had just asked was a little "too in-depth", so he immediately turned around and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I can't think of other topics that I can talk about with Senior Brother Wuzhong." Seeing the ruins of the large and small buildings in Lingguan City, I am just a little curious......"

Xiao Wuzhong knew that although Xiao Bo was not too shrewd. But there are still brains. Afraid that Xiao Bo and the others would suspect that he was colluding with the Mengyuan Imperial Court, Xiao Wuzhong immediately relieved himself and explained: "Actually, I was also very curious, when I was in the house that day, I suddenly heard the sound of artillery outside. When I came out, I saw that the house in front of me had been blown into ruins. I wasn't there at the time, and I only found out about what others said, so when you ask me about the specific situation, I only know these ......."

"Senior Brother Wuzhong, you don't have to be too nervous. We're just talking......" Xiao Bo continued to smile and nodded, "Then again." The main purpose of our coming here today is to listen to Master's previous arrangement, to retrieve the token 'Bai Ling Fengjin' in the Gangzhong, and Senior Brother Lao Wuzhong can give it back immediately, so we can also give Master an explanation. ”

Xiao Wuzhong also eased his nerves, afraid that if he continued to talk, he would arouse more suspicion from Xiao Bo and the others, so he also responded with a smile: "This junior brother and sister can rest assured, I will also go to the worship day tomorrow." However, the 'White Spirit Wind Spirit' was not in this house, so I placed it in another place. Please wait here quietly, and I will go and get the token and come back......"

So, Xiao Wuzhong entertained Xiao Bo and the others, and then left the house in a hurry, ready to get the "Bai Ling Fengjin". Xiao Bo looked at the back of Xiao Wuzhong leaving, his eyes wrinkled slightly, and he was thoughtful......

Xiao Wuzhong left the house, walked to the gate, and just turned a corner, he met the guards he had arranged to send troops before.

When the guard saw Xiao Wuzhong coming out alone, he immediately stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, the little one has been arranged according to your wishes just now, and the guards have been sent from Lord Bian. The guards are already standing around the courtyard and are ready to wait, your lordship......"

Xiao Wuzhong froze, and then said: "The situation is a little complicated now, Xiao Bo and the others seem to know about my defection to the Mengyuan Imperial Court, but they didn't say it vaguely...... As I said earlier, I will not show mercy if something happens, but if it happens, it will be very complicated. I don't want to make things go against Xiaojia Villa, if they don't find out about me in person, let them get the 'White Spirit Fengjin', and let them leave quietly......"

"Then what are you sending these soldiers for?" the guard asked again.

"Everything is just in case—" Xiao Wuzhong continued to say sternly, "If things develop to a bad situation and let them know about my defection to the Mengyuan Imperial Court, then I naturally can't be polite to them." Among them, Xiao Bo has the highest martial arts, and if I were to deal with it alone, I would definitely not be his opponent, so I had to strengthen my troops around here. But I didn't let my soldiers blatantly surround the courtyard, after all, I still didn't want them to find out......"

"It seems that your Excellency doesn't want those people to know about the matter between you and the Mengyuan Imperial Court......" The guard thought for a while, and suddenly said worriedly, "But my lord, you also said just now, the agreement on the transportation of the copper cannon that you are going to hand over to General Wang Dasheng is still hidden in the secret pavilion in the house, if they find out......"

"Probably not, but if they find out. Then there is no way......" Xiao Wuzhong closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said, "That's it." Later, I will take the 'White Spirit Fengjin' and return it to Xiao Bo and them, and then test them. If they don't notice something, let them take their things and walk away, and if they know the truth, then ...... You should know how to do it......"

"But how do we know when the soldiers outside the courtyard should or should not act?" asked the guard again.

"Look at my gestures—" Xiao Wuzhong replied, "I'll look at my gestures when I'm done testing them later." If I give a gestural order, you immediately order the surrounding soldiers to rush into the courtyard and surround them, if I don't give a gestural order. You don't have to move, just let them go back and ......"

"Yes, my lord, and the little ones will do it—" So. The guard agreed. He ran to the soldiers who were "lying in ambush" around him and stood by. Xiao Wuzhong, on the other hand, temporarily left his courtyard and went to the previously designated place to get the "White Spirit Fengjin......

This quiet scene was also seen by Su Jia, who was dressed in disguise far away from the crowd, although he couldn't hear what Xiao Wuzhong said to his guards, but Su Jia was sure that Xiao Wuzhong must be planning something bad......

In Xiao Wuzhong's house, Xiao Bo and the others were still standing in place, waiting for Xiao Wuzhong to come back with the "White Spirit Fengjin".

Xiao Tian knew his "relationship" with Xiao Wuzhong. So he was most worried. In the conversation between Xiao Bo and Xiao Wuzhong just now, Xiao Tian also heard some clues. So he asked Xiao Bo: "Brother Xiao Bo, Xiao Wuzhong seemed to be deliberately avoiding our question just now, and the day before yesterday, it was obvious that Jia'er was being chased by Wang Dasheng, and he pretended not to know. ”

"I asked a little too deeply just now, maybe he is starting to doubt us......" Xiao Bo said with a little sternness, "When we get the 'Bai Ling Feng Jin' later, we don't talk about the matter with Wang Dasheng anymore, and the most important thing is to be able to get back the token 'Bai Ling Feng Jin' safely......

"We ......know this," Xiao Zhu also replied on the side, "But then again, this Xiao Wuzhong is quite cautious, and his words did not reveal the relationship between himself and the Mengyuan Imperial Court at all. ”

"It would be nice if we could find some direct clues, so that we can be more sure of how deep Xiao Wuzhong's relationship with the Mengyuan Imperial Court is. Xue Cui, who hadn't spoken much, also added.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tian walked around the room, as if he was looking for something.

Xiao Qi saw it in his eyes, so he asked suspiciously, "Ah Tian, what are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for if there will be anything here that can directly prove that Xiao Wuzhong and the Mengyuan court really colluded. ”

"Please, don't rummage through things, what if Xiao Wuzhong comes back and finds that we have moved?" Xiao Qi responded, "Besides, Xiao Wuzhong is not a fool, he knew that he was going to see us here today, he had already cleaned up the house." Ah Tian, no matter how much you rummag through the cabinets here, you can't find anything ......"

"I'm looking for these things because I want to see if there are any other connections between Xiao Wuzhong and the Mengyuan Imperial Court, especially Wang Dasheng, and maybe there are ......secrets that Jia'er doesn't know," Xiao Tian continued, "Moreover, if Xiao Wuzhong really has a secret connection with Wang Dasheng, there will definitely be books and documents hidden here." Even if he doesn't put it here, Xiao Wuzhong should be secretly hiding in some unknown place......"

"Ah Tian, you are right, if you can find these documents and other things, maybe you can also discover other secrets......" Xiao Bo also said to Xiao Tian, "But what Ah Qi said is also reasonable, if you mess up here, when Xiao Wuzhong comes back and finds out, he will definitely suspect us in turn, and it will be difficult to get rid of ...... at that time."

Xiao Tian also felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he didn't continue to look through the bookcases around him. Xiao Tian thought for a moment, and then said: "Xiao Wuzhong is cautious, he won't put some important things in such a place that is easy for people to discover, there must be a relatively hidden place." After all, Xiao Wuzhong took refuge in the Mengyuan court, and his contacts must have been very frequent, and if he always put important documents in too complex and hidden places, he would be very troublesome. The best way is to concentrate all these large and small texts in one or two very secret places such as secret secret pavilions and the like......"

After listening to what Xiao Tian said, everyone immediately felt that it was quite polite, and Xiao Qi also praised with a smile on the side: "Yo, it seems that when you left the villa this year, you have not only grown in martial arts, but even your head has become brighter......

Xiao Tian didn't pay too much attention to Xiao Qi's jokes, but just smiled lightly. Xiao Tian then continued to look carefully at any place around him that might have doubts, hoping to find any useful clues.

"However, is there really such a thing as a secret pavilion here?" Xiao Zhu also said with some doubts.

Xiao Tian didn't answer immediately, but still looked around carefully...... Suddenly, Xiao Tian seemed to have doubts about an uneven wall behind a bookcase, and his eyes looked there motionless for a long time.

"What's the matter, Ah Tian, have you found anything, there can't really be a secret passage, right?" Xiao Qi said incredulously.

Xiao Tian still didn't return, he walked slowly towards the back of the bookcase, and then touched the uneven wall with his hand, as if he felt something, and then said softly: "It seems that there is a mechanism here-"

"It won't be so suspenseful, right?" Xiao Qi said in disbelief, "Ah Tian, you are so coincidental that you found the mechanism here?"

Xiao Tian replied softly with a slight smile: "Don't forget, I said that I worshipped the 'Demon Master' who is proficient in the world's mechanism technique as my master in Liusha Town before, and I also learned the 'Mechanism Technique'. I can crack even such a complicated mechanism in the Nangong family's tunnel, how can this small mechanism stump me?"

As he spoke, Xiao Tian twisted his hand on the uneven wall for a few turns, and then pressed hard in a place similar to a groove - something surprising happened, only to hear the "click" of the mechanism, and it seemed that something was turning inside.

Xiao Tian slowly took a few steps back, only to see that it didn't take long for there to be a wheel at the bookcase, which was turning like a door panel. What caught the eyes of Xiao Tian and the others was a groove of a secret pavilion that was not big or small, and on top of the groove, there was something that really looked like a scroll.

"Ah Tian, you are so powerful...... Xiao Qi, who had been "teasing" just now, couldn't help but secretly admire when he saw this scene.

And Xiao Bo is concerned about the documents that are placed on the grooves. His eyes kept staring at the literature on the groove, and his expression was slightly stern.

"What are those things?" Xiao Zhu finally couldn't help but ask first.

Xiao Tian stood in place for a while, then slowly walked to the front of the secret pavilion of the secret passage, gently picked up the document in the groove with his hand, and observed it carefully.

"Ah Tian, what's written on it?" Xiao Zhu asked again.

Xiao Tian carefully flipped through the ......, "This ...... This is—" Suddenly, Xiao Tian said in some surprise, as if he had seen something incredible and even unimaginable.

Xiao Bo looked at Xiao Tian's surprised face, and also realized that something was wrong, so he also asked, "Ah Tian, what is it up there?"

"It turns out that Xiao Wuzhong ......," Xiao Tian said in surprise, "He didn't transport all the bronze cannons on the day of worship as Jia'er said before. Just yesterday, Xiao Wuzhong ...... He has already transported ten bronze cannons to Bianliang City!"

"What are you talking about?" Hearing what Xiao Tian said, Xiao Bo, who had always been calm, was also surprised, "I didn't expect Xiao Wuzhong to actually change his previous plan and act before the worship day......"

"Fortunately, only ten copper cannons were transported, maybe in order not to be known by too many people, so all the ...... were not transported at one time" Xiao Qi also said, "It seems that for some reason, Wang Dasheng should have taken the initiative to bring it up, and let Xiao Wuzhong send ten copper cannons first......

"If we only transport ten bronze cannons today so as not to let outsiders notice too much......," Xiao Bo said while thinking about it, "Tomorrow's worship day, if the plan is normal, Xiao Wuzhong will also return to Xiaojia Villa." At that time, there will be no question of whether to avoid people's eyes and ears, and Xiao Wuzhong will definitely arrange for all the remaining thirty-seven bronze cannons to be transported to Bianliang......"

"No matter what, if Xiao Wuzhong's conspiracy succeeds, things will get ......very bad," Xiao Tian said a little anxiously, "However, Xiao Wuzhong has taken refuge in the Mengyuan Imperial Court, there must be someone sheltering in it, and we have nothing to do, what should we do......"

Everyone who knew the truth, considering Xiao Wuzhong's conspiracy plan, could only be anxious on the sidelines, but they didn't know what to do...... (To be continued......)
