Chapter 204: Conspiracy Revealed

After those Xiao Wuzhong's subordinates left, Xiao Wuzhong also stood there for the time being and didn't say anything. Su Jia got up from the crack in the eaves first, and then breathed a few times. At this time, Su Jia learned about some of Xiao Wuzhong's unscrupulous movements, and her heart was very nervous for a moment.

Su Jia eased her nerves, sat on the eaves for the time being, looked into the distance alone, and thought quietly: "It won't be wrong, it seems that the missing bronze cannons in Xiaojia Villa were secretly instructed by Xiao Wuzhong." If it seems this way, it is just a pretense to go back on the worship day, and to see the few remaining bronze cannons in the cold cave that I stumbled upon yesterday is the main purpose of his return to Xiaojia Villa today. However, it is not a big problem for Xiao Family Villa to take care of the gunpowder in a few cold caves, maybe Xiao Juxian's predecessors should have noticed this problem a long time ago, but he has not exposed Xiao Wuzhong, is it that the relationship between them is still difficult for Xiao Juxian's predecessors to export......"

Su Jia was very puzzled, she couldn't help but find that the causes and consequences of these things were not just as simple as just Xiaojia Villa, I am afraid that even the Mengyuan Imperial Court was involved. Su Jia continued to be confused in her heart and said: "If Xiao Wuzhong really has a relationship with the Mengyuan Imperial Court, then the matter will be serious...... I once heard Ah Tian say that the disciples of Xiaojia Villa once helped Zhu Yuanzhang crusade against Zhang Shicheng and seized a large amount of copper cannon gunpowder, and that cold cave was where Zhu Yuanzhang once stored these trophies...... If Xiao Wuzhong and the Mengyuan court really colluded, it would not only be faced with the charge of Xiaojia Villa being guilty of contracting with Zhu Yuanzhang, but also those bronze cannons in the hands of the Mongols. It will definitely be used against the Han people in the Central Plains. If Xiao Wuzhong really has a different intention, the matter will be serious......"

Su Jia thought too much, and she couldn't be in a hurry. Immediately, he once again prostrated on the eaves, observing what else Xiao Wuzhong would do in the house.

"Is it that I am thinking too much? Is it too arbitrary to assert that Xiao Wuzhong and the Mengyuan Imperial Court are colluding now......" Su Jia peeked at the situation in the room, and kept speculating in his heart, "By the way, those of his subordinates just now said that it seems that they were going to invite some 'Bian Yang Cong' to come over, right?" Xiao Wuzhong said just now. That Bian Yang seems to have come to this section to inspect, and it seems that his status must be not small. If we can find out what is the reason from that 'Lord Bian', maybe we can really figure out what Xiao Wuzhong's true intentions are......" So Su Jia continued to wait quietly. Waiting for the appearance of that Bian Yang Cong......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to suddenly come to the gate of Xiao Wuzhong's compound, and some servants at the door looked very respectful, and the status of the person who came was naturally not low.

Su Jia leaned on the half of the eaves that Xiangshang had raised with her hands. Continue to observe the situation at the gate of the compound.

Really. When this person arrived, Xiao Wuzhong, who was in the house, saw it, and walked out with a smile on his face - this is Xiao Wuzhong's "laughing state" that he can't see at all in Xiaojia Villa.

The person who came was not tall, thirty or forty years old, but he was dressed in a fancy suit, and at first glance he knew that he was wealthy. Not surprisingly, this person should be the "Bian Yang Cong" mentioned by Xiao Wuzhong just now.

"Yo, Lord Bian. You're finally hereβ€”" Xiao Wuzhong walked in front of Bian Yangcong, and then greeted with a smile.

Bian Yang saw that Xiao Wuzhong's clothes were a little untidy. Then he asked, "What's the matter, Lord Xiao doesn't seem to be very careful today, this is not like the way the disciples of the Xiao Family Villa greet guests." ”

In the face of Bian Yangcong's "deliberate difficulty", Xiao Wuzhong didn't take it too seriously, but continued to smile and said: "I really let Lord Bian get to the point, I really just came back from Xiaojia Villa, this time I came to find Lord Bian, I just want to talk about this-"

"It's all done, isn't it?" asked Bian Yang again.

Xiao Wuzhong looked around, and then said: "Confidential and important matters, it's not convenient for there to be a lot of people here, why don't you talk to Lord Bian and go into the house with you?"

Seeing that Xiao Wuzhong was a little deliberately roundabout, Bian Yang never said anything. Maybe the series of things Xiao Wuzhong did today had something to do with him, so Bian Yang agreed first, and then walked to the room in the main hall with Xiao Wuzhong.

Seeing Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang walking into the main hall, as if they were about to talk about business, Su Jia continued to tense up all over her body, and then squatted on the eaves with full attention, observing the words and deeds of the two people in the house......

"Things are going well, right?" Entering the main hall and closing the door, Bian Yang asked from the beginning, "As a disciple of the Xiao Family Villa, Lord Xiao is not only familiar with the large and small passages of the Villa, but also can deceive your master, this mission shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xiao Juxian paused for a moment, then retracted the smiling face that he had just fought, and said solemnly: "To be honest, this mission is ...... Something went wrong......"

"What?" Hearing Xiao Juxian say this, Bian Yang was shocked at first.

Xiao Juxian took a deep breath, as if expressing a trace of helplessness, and then continued: "There is a problem with the mission...... Yesterday was a good haode, and the few masters I hired had already approached the cold cave in the mountain behind the villa, who knew that it was discovered at a critical time. Now when I go to the villa, I'm afraid it's already on guard. As a last resort, we can only stop for the time being......"

"Someone found out, aren't the few hired by Lord Xiao all agile, and they won't even be easily discovered by people hiding in a tree less than ten zhang away?" Bian Yang Cong wondered again, "What is wrong with this?"

"Maybe it's accident...... Xiao Wuzhong said anxiously, "Generally, the back mountain of the mountain villa is not paid much attention to, and the back mountain trail is also a trail that few people know about. Maybe yesterday there happened to be someone collecting medicine in the cold cave, and I accidentally bumped into it......"

Su Jia was on the eaves, and he heard the conversation between the two in the house very clearly, and when he talked about this, Su Jia also understood a little bit in his heart: "It seems that those subordinates hired by Xiao Wuzhong do have some skills, and when I was in the back mountain today, I and Xiao Tian's senior brother Xiao Bo didn't notice the alert attention." It seems that when I was in the cold cave in the back mountain yesterday, I really bumped into ...... by accident."

"Isn't there nothing wrong with it?" but there is a problem with these copper cannons in Zuihou, ......" Bian Yang finally caught the topic on the "copper cannon". This also determined the purpose of Xiao Wuzhong's trip, "The task assigned by General Wang Dasheng is to ask Lord Xiao to transport the bronze cannon hidden in the secret passage of Xiaojia Villa to Lingguan City. Then let me, who is in charge of Chaling Guancheng, keep it. I've been shipped so many times these days, and there has never been a problem, but today's zuihou has a problem. According to what you said, Master Xiao, your whereabouts have been discovered, and it is impossible to find a chance to go back and get those bronze cannons now, so how should you explain to General Wang?"

Xiao Wuzhong's eyes rolled, and then he said, "Although there are a few bronze cannons missing." But I don't think General Wang will be so rigid...... Anyway, most of the copper cannons have been transported to Lingguan City, which is enough to provide enough cannonballs and gunpowder for the Bianliang army, and General Wang will not be for a few cannons. Let me go back and get it back at the risk of being discovered, it will be more than worth the loss......"

"In that case, why are you looking for me today?" asked Bian Yangcong again.

Xiao Wuzhong smiled lightly, and then continued: "Everyone in the city knows it. Lord Bian, your relationship with General Wang. Because of this. I'm just coming to you, Lord Bian. I hope that Lord Bian, you can intercede in front of General Wang, and forget about the matter of these two cannons. After all, if I annoy General Wang because I can't complete the task on time, you won't be able to escape it. Both of us are now working under General Wang and even Captain Bianliang, both for our own purposes. If you can succeed in currying favor with General Wang, you can get your wish to become an official and become a knight, and I can really become the head of Xiaojia Villa, everyone has their own pleasure, why not?"

"Hmph. It turns out that Lord Xiao, you have always been thinking about the position of the head of the Xiao Family Villa......" Bian Yang continued to Xiao Wuzhong with a smile, "But Lord Xiao betrayed your master. Surrendered to the Mongols and relied on the Mongols to help Lord Xiao ascend to the throne, aren't you afraid that even if you become the head of the Xiao Family Villa in the future, you will be insulted by the ancestors of your Xiao family?"

"Insulting, hum, joke-" Xiao Wuzhong laughed back, "Master, his old man, will only be in a hurry to feast every day." Now that I see Xiaojia Villa hidden in the deep mountains where no one has been there for generations, I can't help but feel anxious about the future of the villa. I originally said in front of the master and his old man that if I were to be the head of Xiaojia Villa, I would definitely let Xiao Family Villa be famous in the Central Plains and gain supreme power and status. But the master and his old man just didn't listen, and he had to follow the ancestral teachings, although he had cultivated a few outstanding disciples, but the status of the villa did not rise. The reason why I took refuge in General Wang Dasheng was not also for the good of the Xiao Family Villa? Relying on the shili of the imperial court, let me be the head of the Xiao Family Villa, and then let the Xiao family enjoy endless glory and wealth, and be famous all over the world, this is the real way for the Xiao family, isn't it? I am not for personal selfish desires, I do this completely for the sake of the Xiao Family Villa, since this is the case, I think the ancestors of the Xiao family will not only not blame me, but will be proud of me......

"Lord Xiao, you really dare to say anything...... Bian Yang listened to Xiao Wuzhong's narration, and followed, "I can't control the affairs of your Xiao family, but Lord Xiao, the words you said earlier are to the point, Lord Xiao, you and I are now grasshoppers on the same rope, and blessings are naturally shared, if something happens to anyone, neither of us will feel good...... Okay, according to what you want, Lord Xiao, anyway, General Wang Dasheng will come to review the situation in Xicheng in a while, and I will talk to General Wang Dasheng when the time comes. ”

"Xicheng?" Xiao Wuzhong asked again, "What is General Wang doing in Xicheng?"

"Lord Xiao doesn't know?" Bian Yang said immediately, "Originally, Lord Xiao, if you got the few copper cannons from Zuihou today according to the previous Jihua, I would have pushed out the copper cannons that were added together, so that General Wang could examine them smoothly today." However, because of the unexpected things you said, Lord Xiao, I am afraid that I will have to speak a little in front of General Wang Dasheng after a while......"

Xiao Wuzhong listened to it and said softly: "I know, this time I have to have you again, Lord Laobian, and I will treat you well afterwards, ......."

"Look at what you said, Lord Xiao, I don't mean to blame Lord Xiao......" Bian Yang also laughed softly, "After all, those bronze cannons you got before, Lord Xiao, you have spent a lot of effort, this time there is a problem with a few cannons in Zuihou, I believe General Wang will not blame too much...... It's Lord Xiao, you've worked hard these days, why don't you go to Xicheng with you now and take a look at your 'achievements'?"

Xiao Wuzhong thought for a while, and then replied with a smile: "It's okay, when I was in Xiaojia Villa this morning, I was not less affected by Master and Abo's 'anger'. Now when I come back, I don't want to always sit in this big courtyard and 'sulk' about things that have not been completed, so I might as well accompany you to go out for a walk, and then talk about how to report to General Wang in the afternoon......"

"Then let's invite Lord Xiao to come along-" As he spoke, Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang looked at each other and smiled, and then walked out of the main hall one after the other......

However, Su Jia, who understood everything on the eaves, had a completely different expression and mood. Su Jia couldn't believe that Xiao Wuzhong really became a lackey of the Mongols, and he did not hesitate to abandon his dignity as a Han for the position of the head of Xiaojia Villa. However, this is just as Su Jia expected, Xiao Wuzhong colluded with Wang Dasheng and even the lieutenant of Bianliang, and also handed over the bronze cannon that he had helped Zhu Yuanzhang capture from Zhang Shicheng to the hands of the Mengyuan soldiers, and Xiaojia Villa would face an unprecedented serious problem.

"Like Tang Tianhui and Chen Shijin, there is such a scum in the Central Plains Martial Arts, right......" Looking at Xiao Wuzhong's "ugly" words and deeds, what Chen Shijin did in front of the martial arts people and himself at the foot of the Wind Chasing Mountain seemed to flash through Su Jia's mind again, and the memories of pain and hatred once again used Su Jia's heart.

"Weishenme, Weishenme There will always be such a villain who sells respect and seeks glory in the martial arts......" Su Jia's eyes were confused, and she said excitedly in her heart, "The Tang family that was once destroyed is like this, the wind chasing faction is like this, and now even the Xiao Family Villa is like this...... Chen Shijin's revenge has not yet been avenged, and there is such a scum on Ah Tian's side. Even if it's not for the martial arts of the Central Plains, just for the sake of Xiaojia Villa, for Ah Tian, this time I can't stand by anymore, even if it's at the risk of being discovered by Wang Dasheng......" Su Jia's heart gradually became angry, and the fists in both hands became tighter and tighter.

"However, at the moment, it is the matter of those copper cannons that is more worrying......" Su Jia sat on the eaves and continued to think in his heart, "It took Xiao Wuzhong so long to get the copper cannons, it seems that there are quite a few of them. What worries me the most is that Xiao Wuzhong said that if he helped Wang Dasheng, he would be able to become the head of Xiaojia Villa. Xiao Wuzhong wants to become the head of Xiaojia Villa, it is just a transaction, what will Wang Dasheng do, will the Mengyuan Imperial Court be unfavorable to the entire Xiaojia Villa? If those bronze cannons really reach the hands of the Mengyuan army, then there will definitely be more living beings...... No, I have to go and see the situation first, and then I'll plan to ......"

After thinking about it, Su Jia looked around and found that no one noticed herself on the eaves, so she slowly stood up. Su Jia looked in the direction of the door, Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang had just left, and they were heading in the direction of the west of the city. It seems that Bian Yang is right, they are now going to the west of the city first.

"According to what Bian Yang just said, it seems that those bronze cannons that Xiao Wuzhong got are in those places...... Su Jia must have said in his heart, "Hearing what they just said, it seems that Wang Dasheng will go there soon." I need to hurry up and get out of there as soon as possible before Wang Dasheng arrives......"

So, Su Jia sneaked quietly along the eaves, and then took advantage of no one to pay attention, performed light skills, and shuttled on the eaves of high-rise buildings like a shadow. While walking on the eaves, Su Jia quietly paid attention to the direction in which Xiao Wuzhong and Bian Yang were advancing, and at the same time paid attention to not being discovered during the day.

Su Jia shuttled between the buildings, but she couldn't let go of her heart. Now that Xiao Wuzhong's conspiracy was revealed, Su Jia suddenly felt that the whole situation had become completely tense. With countless unpredictable thoughts, Chengxi is getting closer and closer to Su Jia...... (To be continued......)
