Part 2 The Battle of the Two Heroes Chapter 21 The Late Night Inn Ambush Machine
The father and son of the king of Pingnan narrated in the secret room to discuss Zhang Zongzhou and Zhang Qichao.
Wei Che guessed: "If you go north, Zhang Qichao is likely to meet with Beichang Fanzi who is about to go to Wancheng!"
"No, Zhang Qichao will be the secret agent of the North Factory in Jiangnan?" Wei Feng felt incredible, "The North Factory is evil, and it is even more fierce than the school guards. The Zhang family is also regarded as the home of Zhongming Ding Food in Jiangnan, between turbidity and clear stream, but it will not fall into the gelding dog that takes refuge in Gu Jin. β
Wei Che smiled: "What if Wancheng and his party are not Beichang Fanzi, but the school guard?"
"Will the news from the palace be fake?" Wei Feng felt impossible, "That's my own person." β
Wei Che said in a deep voice: "Always keep three points of suspicion about people's words, which is the real way to protect yourself. Let's assume that it's the school guard, and that won't explain the reason why Tong Zhang Qi is heading north!"
Wei Feng was very strange about why his father always thought that Zhang Qichao was related to the school guard, and couldn't help asking: "Why does my father always think like this?
"There's no basis, it's all intuition. Wei Che explained the reason, "More than 20 years ago, the six islands south of the Yangtze River rebelled, and the southeast coast was attacked and disturbed. The emperor ordered me to fake the festival and lead the Central Plains martial arts against the six islands. In this campaign, Zhang Zongzhou is also one of the logistics supplies. However, someone found out that Zhang Zongzhou had something to do with the Liudao Haikou, and even sent a letter of contact between them to me. β
"Oh, this is ironclad evidence, how did Zhang Zongzhou deal with this crisis, and who is the informant?" Wei Feng suddenly became interested.
Wei Che took a sip of tea and recounted that "as soon as this letter was received, my father naturally dealt with it seriously." So he summoned people from the six major factions and the four major families to be present to see how Zhang Zongzhou explained in the end. He calmly took out his private seal, compared it with the seal on the letter, and said, 'Someone forged his seal, and there is a gap in his own seal, but there is no one on the letter.' He also took out the private seals on the accounts of the past years and compared them, and sure enough, this was the case. β
Wei Fengxin thought it was true: "Oh? It seems that Zhang Zongzhou really has nothing to do with this matter!"
"Hmph, you're too young. Zhang Zongzhou is cunning and cunning, and he has long been on guard. The old fox and others have a complete private seal, and there is a gap in the public use. "Wechat was as sincere as a mirror," because he did strongly support the counterinsurgency at that time, and there was insufficient evidence, so he was let go. Not to mention ......"
"What's more, my father had a plan for a long time, and he kept one hand as a great favor. Wei Feng admired his father more and more, "No wonder as soon as you opened your mouth, Zhang Zongzhou agreed in one bite." Originally, I thought that with the relationship between the Cangyang faction and the Zhang family, it would take a few more efforts. β
"This is only part of the reason, the real reason is also the delicate relationship between the Zhang family and the Cangyang faction. Wei Che watched the fire, "The person who reported it back then was Sun Anshu, and they were not brothers-in-law at that time. Speaking of which, I also admire Zhang Zongzhou, not only did he not hold a grudge against the Cangyang faction, but he was able to let Sun Anshu's sister-in-law marry him. β
Wei Feng was completely convinced of Zhang Zongzhou, "I didn't expect him to really have skills, and he knew that the merchant couldn't fight the sect, so he immediately adjusted his strategy." How much hatred has been suppressed to be able to do it. β
Wei Che sighed: "This is the reason why I always think that Zhang Qichao has a connection with the school guard. The old fox cultivated a little fox, the old guy coaxed Xia Jinmei around, and the little guy coaxed Yan'er around, which was really amazing. β
"My father knows all this, why should he marry his sister to Zhang Qichao!" Wei Feng was worried about his sister, "My sister is simple and straightforward, where is Zhang Qichao's opponent." My sister's elbow is not yet turning outward!"
Wei Che smiled and said, "For your father's foresight, you have to learn more to understand." Well, I'll know what's going on when Pirizzi gets the letter. If it was written to deal with me, it was definitely not to come to Zhang Qichao. β
Wei Feng couldn't keep up with his father's thinking, and said, "Father, what does this mean? Why is it against us, not to find Zhang Qichao?"
Wei Che explained: "Zhang Zongzhou is a strategist, aiming to protect himself. Let this old fox go to the fire and get chestnuts, will he!"
Wei Feng stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Father's thoughts, if they are beyond the reach of children. β
"Father, who are you going to invite for this birthday?" Wei Feng remembered that his father's birthday was approaching again.
Wei Che smiled and said: "Just invite our good relatives, Zhang Zongzhou and his son." When the time comes, my father should catch up with his in-laws, although he only invites them, and he can't slack off on pomp. β
"Father, this is setting up a Hongmen banquet, and the child will definitely arrange it properly. Wei Feng bowed his hand and left the secret room.
At this moment, Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan had arrived in a small town on the outskirts of Wancheng, and the husband and wife found a small teahouse to rest.
Zhang Qichao carefully poured the tea first and scalded the tea bowl, and then poured it before pouring the hot tea again.
"Lady, please use tea. In a small place in the countryside, there is no good tea such as Boyang Maojian, so I can only make do with it. Zhang Qichao's title has also changed, and he speaks very gently.
Wei Yan took a sip of tea from the tea bowl and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry, how can I be disgusted." β
"When we've had enough rest, we'll hurry. Before dark, go to Wancheng to stay. Zhang Qichao handed Wei Yan a hot bun.
"Hmm. Wei Yan took the bun, pinched a small piece, and chewed it slowly.
At this time, there was a team of people, about ten people, all dressed as merchants. I drove a few truckloads of goods and a horse-drawn carriage to the small teahouse, and the goods on the cart seemed to be all leather goods. A man came out of the carriage, some of his age, and though he dressed like a great merchant, he had no beard.
When they arrived at the small teahouse, they looked around as if they were observing something. After a few moments, they began to sit down at a table of four people, asking for beef and wine. And the person at the head was at a separate table, and two people stood behind him.
It's hard not to be eye-catching with such pomp. Wei Yan is too familiar with this kind of pomp. lowered his head and whispered to Zhang Qichao: "Xianggong, let's get out of here quickly." These people all seem to have a lot of backgrounds, and we avoid them. β
Zhang Qi nodded at Yingsheng, and called Xiao Er to settle the account. The two then left the small teahouse with their baggage.
The two of them walked north until the small teahouse completely disappeared from view. Wei Yancai said: "I don't know where it is, pretending to be a businessman, and pretending to be a little bit!"
Zhang Qichao smiled and proposed, "Lady, why don't you guess who they are?"
Wei Yan thought for a moment and guessed: "Dart game! I think they must be holding some kind of treasure." If you look at their large truckloads of goods, it's obvious that they're camouflaged. β
"No, it's definitely not a dart game. Zhang Qichao said with certainty, "First, the dart game will definitely insert the banner of this dart game, and it will be shouted loudly." Second, there are two principles of not receiving darts in the dart game, one is not receiving darts from unknown sources. The second is that the darts that are too dangerous will not be answered. β
"Oh, they neither shouted nor raised the corresponding banner. Wei Yan suddenly realized, "Looking at their nervous appearance and disguised appearance, the things they protect must be very important." It doesn't seem to be a dart game, so who do you say?"
Zhang Qichao said with a smile: "It must be the fan of the North Factory." You forgot that the leader doesn't have a beard, so old. β
"It's so simple!" Wei Yan remembered, "I didn't even notice." β
The two chatted and went to Wancheng, found the largest inn in the local area, and asked for a room with a number A facing street.
The innkeeper was very enthusiastic to guide them, and said as he walked: "I heard that the tone of the two is not like that of the locals, and the little couple is the first time to Wancheng." β
Zhang Qichao replied: "Man, good eyesight, my husband and wife are going to return to Macheng after visiting relatives." β
The guy went to the door of room A, pushed the door open and let them in. admonished: "Cloud Piercing Villa is not yesterday, the street has not been very peaceful recently, don't be surprised if you hear any abnormal noise." Don't go out to avoid getting into trouble. β
Zhang Qichao agreed, and the man closed the door.
Wei Yan put down her burden and sword, pushed open the window and was about to breathe, but she saw ......
"Xianggong, come and see, it's the group of people I met in the small teahouse just now. Wei Yan hurriedly called Zhang Qichao.
Zhang Qichao hurriedly went to the window to take a look, and sure enough, it was the person he met in the small teahouse just now. They actually settled down at this inn as well. Before they found out, they quickly closed the window.
Wei Yan teased: "Xianggong, you guessed wrong." It's not Beichang Fanzi at all, if Beichang Fanzi is stupid enough to bypass Wancheng from the north, and then return to Wancheng. β
Zhang Qi cleaned up the bedding and replied: "Lady, we just passed by Wancheng and then went to the Hanshan Sword Sect." It doesn't matter if it's true or not. β
"You guessed wrong, you're playing tricks in disguise!" Wei Yan walked up to Zhang Qichao, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly: "Admit it, you guessed wrong." β
Looking at his wife's Shui Lingling's eyes, Zhang Qichao smiled and said, "Okay, I guessed wrong." Okay, okay?"
"Hmph~~ The mouth should not be hearted. Wei Yan didn't really care, she was just joking with her husband.
In the dark of night, the entire city of Wancheng rested. Zhang Qichao's eyes widened, and his intuition told him that something was likely to happen tonight. opened her eyes wide until the time she was young, and helped Wei Yan cover the quilt that she had bounced open.
At this time, Zhang Qichao heard a series of sounds on the roof, which was the sound of people stepping on tiles. Then Zhang Qichao felt a slight sound at the door, like the sound of papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows being stabbed. Although these voices are subtle, they are still easy to hear in front of a martial arts master like Zhang Qichao.
Zhang Qichao was shocked that it was very likely to be incense, so he hurriedly woke up his wife, covered her mouth, and signaled her not to make a sound. Then he took out the Qingxin Pill that had been placed next to the pillow and gave it to her, and ate one himself. The two of them listened quietly to the sound of blowing, and after a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance. There was also the sound of distant footsteps on the rooftop.
The huge inn was actually ambushed. See the next chapter, "Half Sad, Half Sigh"
