The period of the alliance was approaching, and Tian Xiaotong began to arrange the venue of Yong'an Palace in an orderly manner. In addition to the previous subordinates of Ashima, Tian Xiaotong also specially sent Ling Xuanshuang to assist them, and not only that, but also arranged for the shadow to assist in secret. Mu Xiaoxue is responsible for arranging the scene of the alliance, Rui Hansheng is responsible for buying fruits, Niu Shao is responsible for preparing for the reception, and the wharf is heavily guarded.

Especially for the merchant ships at the docks, Tian Xiaotong knew that Yang Qian and Zhang Qichao were good at blending in, so he specially asked his subordinates to disguise themselves as workers at the docks and secretly monitor the merchant ships' every move, trying to find them.

It's just that Tian Xiaotong underestimated them after all, and on the day Yang Qian and Zhang Qichao received the news, they left the island by boat and came to Edao directly disguised as merchants. Tian Xiaotong never dreamed that they would pretend to be businessmen who showed up and came to Edao in a grand manner.

What's more, it wasn't just the two of them who came to Edao, but also Fu Jingyuan's subordinates, the fifth master Dong Shuzhi, and some of the disciples of Fantasy Dock.

In the bustling inn, Yang Qian, Zhang Qichao and Dong Shuzhi sat around the table, paying attention to the changes in the surrounding environment at any time.

"The period of the alliance is getting closer and closer, and Tian Xiaotong has obviously strengthened his defense. Uncle Dong pretended to drink tea, "We must be careful to avoid being discovered." ”

Yang Qian smiled: "I know Tian Xiaotong best, she is indeed thoughtful, but she has always focused on the periphery, so top-heavy." I'm going to Yong'an Palace tonight to find out how the venue will be arranged, so that we can find a place to eavesdrop on that day. ”

Zhang Qichao said worriedly: "It's not appropriate for you to go alone, why don't I go with you, so I can take care of it." ”

"No, it's bad to go too much. Yang Qian insisted on going alone, "Besides, you have to go to touch the details of the island's defense at night, you and I will act separately and get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Uncle Dong said: "Then you just have to go, there is me here." ”

After the three of them finished their discussion, they were afraid that they would be recognized after waiting for a long time, so they went back to their rooms to rest, just waiting for night to fall.

In the palace of the king of Zhenbei, Tuoba Shiruo strode to the hall with her head held high, her father Tuoba Ruhui and her mother Wu had been waiting for a long time.

"Father, mother, my daughter is back. As soon as Tuoba Shi entered the door, he gave a blessing salute and called his parents affectionately.

Tuoba Ruyan looked at his daughter carefully and boasted: "I haven't seen you for many days, but you have improved a lot, and you have grown a lot." ”

"Thank you daddy for the compliment, my daughter hasn't grown up enough. "If Tuoba Shiruo's face is colorful, "I still have to be like two brothers to support the Tuoba family." ”

"Hahaha, my son is very ambitious. Tuoba laughed heartily.

"Don't talk about this, father and daughter always say these big things when they meet, and they don't care about their daughter. Wu glanced at her husband and said with concern: "Is my daughter looking for a son-in-law, this is the most important thing." ”

"Ah!" Tuoba Shiruo's face was embarrassed, "Mother, my daughter has been running around all the time, so don't worry about it." ”

Compared with the so-called big things, the things in the mother's mouth are the things that cause the most headache for Tuoba Shiruo.

Tuoba Ru said with a smile: "Men should get married, and women should get married." We never say arranged marriages like other parents, but you also have to seriously consider that a girl as old as you can have children everywhere. ”

Tuoba Shiruo begged for mercy: "Okay, my daughter will pay more attention." Don't count me down anymore, let's talk about the changes in Jiangnan. ”

"Well, you name it. "Tuoba is like an obscure road.

Tuoba Shiruo told the whole thing, the change of ownership of the island, the matter of Tian Xiaotong, the true identity of Tian Daoxing, and how the island fell.

In this way, the situation in Jiangnan is becoming more and more chaotic. Tuoba Ruyan sighed with emotion.

Tuoba Shiruo said: "After the death of King Pingnan, these things came out of their heads, which is indeed unusual. However, father, we also need to pay more attention to Ma Chong. ”

Tuoba Ruyan said: "It doesn't matter, the emperor still needs to rely on me to guard the northern border for him, and there is a big difference between the king of Pingnan and the south." What's more, I have no ambition to be the emperor, and I have tens of thousands of iron horsemen under my command, and the emperor will not dare to do anything to me in a short time. ”

Tuoba Shiruo worried: "That can't be taken lightly, so as not to fall into the target of public criticism and become the target of his crowd." ”

"When you come back this time, I'm afraid you're going to leave soon. "Tuoba is like an obscure road.

"Yes, the letter of appointment from the imperial court has been issued, and the daughter wants to go south to help them. Tuoba Shiruo replied.

Tuoba Ruyan looked at his daughter and quipped: "Zhang Qichao is a married man, you went to help others so enthusiastically, do you want to make a second room?" How can I be someone else's concubine. ”

"Bah, bah~~ Dad, where do you want to go!" Tuoba Shiruo crossed his hands on his hips and said angrily: "It's right that I went south to help him, but it's still for the sake of the overall situation!"

Tuoba Ru smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just joking, don't be angry, daughter." ”

As night fell, Yang Qian and Zhang Qichao split up, each heading for their intended target.

Let's talk about Zhang Qichao first, he is dressed in a night suit, with a black veil on his head, and his figure shuttles through the roof with agility, avoiding all kinds of patrols. In order to prevent there from being a secret whistle, Zhang Qichao would always inquire first whenever he went, and only continue walking after confirming that there was no one.

When I came to an unnamed boulder, I felt the sound of footsteps, so I hid underneath.

"This time, Tian Xiaotong has too many people in series. A man's voice appeared.

"I think it must be Tian Daoxing instigating him behind it, that person must still be alive, and it is very likely that he is the murderer of our island owner. Another man's voice.

"Then should we make a mess for them? The man's laughter was heard.

"It's supposed to be like this, it's too wishful thinking to finish the meeting peacefully. The other man laughed too.

Then there was the sound of footsteps, and for a moment they were inaudible.

"It turns out that this island is not just us, there is another force, it is very likely to be one of the six islands. Zhang Qichao thought for a while, and said in his heart: "The rest of the islands are either surrendered, or eliminated or allianced, only Jin Island did not participate, it is very likely that they are." ”

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Zhang Qichao quickly left Dashi and continued to inquire about intelligence.

Besides, Yang Qian, he is also dressed in black, and with his excellent light skills, he shuttles through Yong'an Palace, with the purpose of going to the venue. When I could see the busy situation of the venue in the corridor, I suddenly noticed that someone was coming, and hurriedly went up the tree, and then crouched on the beam of the corridor, holding my breath and masking the sound.

The person who came was Tian Xiaotong, and the shadow that followed behind him.

Seeing that the eldest lady was coming, Mu Xiaoxue hurriedly greeted her, "Eldest lady, you are still here to inspect so late." ”

Tian Xiaotong said: "The stakes are very high, in order to prevent Xiaoxiao from getting in the way, I have to be careful." ”

The place where these people spoke was very close to where Yang Qian was, and what they said could be heard clearly.

Looking at the busy situation at the venue, Tian Xiaotong said: "How long will it take to finish, there are not a few days left until the first day of the eighth month." ”

Mu Xiaoxue said: "Please rest assured, the eldest lady will be completed in two days." ”

At this time, Mu Xiaoxue turned her head to see the shadow behind Tian Xiaotong, and said with a smile: "Since the last time I said goodbye, I actually saw you for so long." ”

"I just had something to do, that's why I saw me. The shadow could still reply coldly.

Tian Xiaotong turned around and said, "How is it, is she okay?"

"Everything was fine, and I had a daughter. The shadow was cold, with a hint of warmth.

Tian Xiaotong congratulated: "You are a grandfather, it is really gratifying." ”

The shadow replied, "Thank you, Miss, for your blessings." ”

"Then, will he be invited by Zhang Qichao to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes?" Tian Xiaotong changed his words and expressed his worries.

The shadow said: "I'm just secretly observing, I don't dare to be 100% sure." However, I don't think he will reappear in the situation, after all, the rivers and lakes back then were very unfriendly to him. ”

"yes, that's good. Tian Xiaotong's hanging heart fell to the ground, "I don't want him to come out again, Yang Qian and Zhang Qichao are uncomfortable enough, and he is even more tricky." ”

Yang said thoughtfully: "The person who listens to what they say should be Xiao Cuo. He actually gave birth to a daughter, and it was even more difficult to get out of the mountain. "Continue to crouch on the beam, waiting for them to leave.

After a while, they went their separate ways. Like an eagle, Yang Qian swooped down from the beam and skimmed the rockery, and he could see the venue more clearly.

The venue was brightly lit, and everyone was working shirtless.

The shadow protected Tian Xiaotong and returned to the dormitory of Yong'an Palace. Halfway through, the shadow asked, "Miss, you are still in the venue, do you still have a secret whistle?" ”

Tian Xiaotong thought for a moment and replied: "Where do you mean? I do have a secret whistle, but most of them are on the periphery of the venue, and there are people in the venue who pretend to be migrant workers. What's wrong?"

The shadow wondered, "I felt that there was a person on the beam not far from the place where I was talking. It's just that his breathing is very slow, which shows the high level of this person's martial arts. ”

"Oh no, Yang Qian is here. Tian Xiaotong reacted. immediately turned back to the venue, and ordered his subordinates to look around, rummaging through every corner to find Yang Qian.

What she didn't know was that Yang Qian took a closer look on the rockery and found that someone was pretending to be a worker, and she knew that it was difficult to get close, so she evacuated. Not long after the evacuation, Tian Xiaotong arrived with people. It's really dangerous for the two to miss it.

The night gradually disappeared, but Tian Xiaotong still did not find any trace of Yang Qian.

The shadow pleaded: "Subordinates should die, they shouldn't be suspicious." ”

"No, once careless, a hundred times useless. Tian Xiaotong didn't blame the shadow at all, "They must be somewhere on this island, but we didn't expect it." ”

Mu Xiaoxue asked, "What should I do next?"

"There was a first, and there will definitely be a second. Time is so rushed, Yang Qian must not have found a suitable place for eavesdropping, it is better to pretend to relax his guard and let Yang Qian throw himself into the net. Tian Xiaotong had a plan and said to everyone.

"Okay, my subordinates will go and arrange it. Mu Xiaoxue took the order and left.

Tian Xiaotong looked at the sky of Jiangming, and a smile appeared on his face.
