Chapter 219 I smell the conspiracy
Li Bufan brought a jar of drinks to the top of the city, "Brother Zhao, Brother Li, Yinyang City prohibited wine. I cooked some drinks with reed roots and poria. Although they are not as good as your Central Plains, they have a unique taste."
Yinyang is rich in reeds. The reed roots have the function of removing fire. Poria cocos can be used as a summer drink. The taste is bitter but it can produce salivation. It is very popular in Yinyang. Zhongyuan drinks are mostly made of "Erchen Soup", made of dried tangerine peel and aged Pinellia. Of course, the rich gentlemen's families also cook perilla drinks, water soup, etc., which ordinary people cannot afford to drink.
Seeing that Li Bufan had changed back to the gatekeeper's clothes, Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "Why do you have to wear this set of clothes again?"
Speaking of this, Li Bufan had quite complaints, "The City Lord's Mansion was dissatisfied with the fact that Bai Ma Yicong took action to welcome the old city lord back to the city without authorization. Several governors, the old Bai Ma Yicong could not move, and only dared to pick us newcomers to take action. They also sent us back to their original positions early this morning. This Bai Ma Yicong acted as a day and came back to guard the city gate!"
Zhao Langjiang comforted, "One day, one day, the white horse is righteous, and the white horse is righteous for the rest of his life."
Li Bufan stood upright and said, "One day, one day, the white horse is righteous, and the white horse is righteous for the rest of his life!"
He bowed deeply before Li Qiuyi's spiritual throne. The city was too small. When he returned to the city yesterday, Bai Ma Yi had already built a simple mourning hall at the city. Since last night, people have come to worship, from the big surnames in the city to the princes and nobles, and even an old man in his nineties who was not good at his legs and feet, but refused to let his children and grandchildren help him. He climbed up and burned incense to Li Qiuyi.
Li Qiuyi used swords as his way and city as his family throughout his life. He never married him in his life. In the end, he had no descendants to accompany the spirit. Zhao Langjiang held the etiquette of his disciples and followed dozens of spontaneous white horses to accompany the spirit. Later, there were too many people who took the initiative to accompany the spirit. Zhao Langjiang persuaded them several times, but on the grounds that Li Qiuyi liked quiet, he refused them.
evening.
A man in Hu's clothes and a hat on his head went up to the city wall. Zhao Langjiang thought he was here to worship Li Qiuyi, and was about to get up to return the gift when the man came to him, took off his hat and said, "The Feng-character camp of the Western Army conquered the army to join the army, and met General Zhao!"
When Zhao Langjiang saw the man's short and strong face, his face was as bright as a purple veil, and his nose was hooked, he said in surprise, "Old Ba, is it you? Why are you here?"
Ha Jiangyi was a military officer in the Fengying camp in Zhao Langjiang. His father was a Hu person and his mother was a Han person, so he had some foreign bloodlines. When he was in the Fengying camp, Ha Jiangyi didn't talk much, but when he was fighting, he was the most ruthless. Every time he charged, he was the first, and he was nicknamed Ha Madman.
Because of this, Zhao Langjiang recommended him as an army member.
Later, after Zhao Langjiang escaped from the military camp, the two broke off their contact. When they mentioned him in Wanzhou, Leijiazhuang, and Song Dachun and Lei Zhenyu, everyone did not know where he was going.
Ha Jiang Yidao, "After you left, I was ordered to leave my military status, sneak into the Northern Zhou Dynasty for missions, and sneak into the Blood Crow Organization, becoming a dead soldier in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. A few days ago, we received the order from the Blood Crow to sneak into Yinyang City."
Blood Crow is a spy organization in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is similar to the shadow of Western Chu and the Dengwenyuan of the Ming Dynasty. It sneaks into Western Chu and performs assassination and intelligence missions in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
“What are the tasks?”
Ha Jiang Yidao, "I don't know yet. I'm waiting for the orders above, but from the words of the leader, it should be the assassination of Governor Yuwen. Today I was ordered to leave the palace to purchase. I heard that General Zhao was at the top of the city, so I came up to meet him."
Zhao Langjiang knew that his identity was extraordinary. Once exposed, he might end up with no bones. He shook his head and said, "It's so risky! Yuwen Tianlu is known as the world's number one master. You dead soldiers are probably not opponents."
"For the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the situation is greater than the meaning. And as far as I know,
Li Xiancheng had long been a traitor. This time, the Grand Governor Yuwen came here lightly without escorts or soldiers. He just wanted to use himself as bait to test the movements of the city lord's mansion."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Old Eighth, I have left the Western Expedition Army. You don't have to tell me about these things." He said, "Brother, how long has it been since we drank?"
Ha Jiangyi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's been almost five years. Last time I treated me, but you still paid. When this mission is over, I will accompany you for three days and three nights!"
Before joining the army, Ha Jiangyi married in the capital and gave birth to a daughter. His wife was tough and when she was a big soldier, she was the most careful. When he was a big soldier, he could save two and a half taels of military salary. Every six months, he sent fifteen taels of silver to go home. Later, he joined the army. Five taels of military salary, and he even spent only two hundred yuan a month. Every time he drank, he never paid for it, but when he was desperate, he was at the forefront.
Zhao Langjiang asked, "Do you still want your family to send money?"
Ha Jiangyi scratched his head, "You don't know that woman at home. If you don't send the money back, the woman will think about it again and think that I'm raising a woman outside. Don't you know that we, who are in the army, are excited for a long time when we see a sow, and how dare we hope to raise a girl? Haha!"
Zhao Langjiang poured a cup of drinks brought by Li Bufan and handed them to Ha Jiangyi, sighing, "The comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, tigers and leopards who died in battle. Song Dachun broke one leg and became the guard of Jiujiang. Lei Zi also withdrew from the Fengzi Camp. The old people in our Fengzi Camp are all you and the deadbeat."
Ha Jiangyi's face turned dark and said, "According to the news I received, half a year ago, Western Chu attacked the Western Eleven Guards, and Lai Ridan had already died in his country!"
Xiao Jinyan suddenly remembered that last year, the Western Chu occupied the Hulukou of the Xiyiwei, and a military commander named Lai Ridan disappeared. Yu Wenshuang went to Hulukou to investigate the matter.
Ha Jiangyi asked, "You still want to kill Governor Yuwen?"
In the Fengying camp, Ha Jiangyi is the only person who knows the grudge between Zhao Langjiang and Yuwen Tianlu. However, Ha Jiangyi is extremely strict and has never told a third person.
Zhao Langjiang nodded, "This is a family feud."
"In the face of national crisis, we must always distinguish between priorities. Lord Yuwen can still die. If he dies, Western Xinjiang will be in chaos and our Ming Dynasty will be in chaos."
"This is my grudge with him, and my current martial arts are a thousand miles apart from Yuwen Tianlu. This is my personal grudge with him, so don't ask."
Ha Jiangyi nodded.
"I've been out for too long, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the leader. By the way, in three days, the Blood Crow may have to assassinate Yuwen on the burial of King Jindao, so General Zhao should be more careful."
Zhao Langjiang nodded casually, "I understand."
The two of them hugged each other and gave each other a military salute. Ha Jiangyi left the city tower. Zhao Langjiang reminded, "Old Eighth, be careful, rush for the rest of their lives. No matter what happens, survive first."
Ha Jiangyi grinned and smiled, "I understand." He put on his hat and turned around and left.
Hearing Ha Jiangyi's news, Xiao Jinyan said, "Since Li Xiancheng wants to deal with Yuwen Tianlu, with his character, I'm afraid he won't let us go."
Li Qingcheng sarcastically said, "Why, are you afraid? That's right. Among the three of us, you are the weakest martial arts skills, so it's understandable to be afraid."
This guy Li Qingcheng is becoming more and more arrogant.
Xiao Jinyan was dissatisfied. Is martial arts great? It’s just that he is lucky. Half a year ago, your martial arts skills were not as good as me. Besides, although I am in the hearing realm, I can open all the acupoints. The ordinary realm of knowledge may not be my opponent.
Li Qingcheng naturally doesn't
He knew what he was thinking in his heart and stood up and looked in the direction of the city lord's mansion. "Immediate Yang is getting more and more fun, I hope I won't disappoint me."
Xiao Jinyan sniffed hard and said, "I seem to smell the sour smell of conspiracy."
A woman landed on the top of the city. Seeing the woman's charming appearance and graceful figure, Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Isn't this Yang Master Yang from Tianxianglou in Yangzhou City? Why did he come to Yinyang City?"
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "There have been a severe crackdown in Yangzhou City. The girls can't survive and have to make another way to make a living. Today, I passed by Yinyang and met an old friend. I happened to come to him to settle a romantic debt."
She reached out to touch Li Qingcheng's face. Li Qingcheng frowned, turned slightly, and avoided, "Please respect yourself, everyone Yang."
Yang Xiao laughed and laughed, "Xiao Daxia, Li Daxia, the little woman has a few whispers to tell Zhao Daxia. I wonder if you can avoid it?"
Xiao and Li looked at each other and went down the city.
Zhao Langjiang looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, "You are quite informative."
Yang Xiaoxiao said, "When you entered the city, four hundred white horses were celebrating the sword-drawing ceremony to you, and the entire Yinyang City was spread all over. No wonder Li Xiancheng regarded you as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and tried every means to get rid of you."
"He's eyeliner everywhere here, aren't you afraid?"
"We are in danger of wealth and honor!" Yang Xiaoxiao said, "We are in a cooperative relationship now, so let's show our sincerity in cooperation. The Jade Girl Sect has been operating in Yinyang City for many years. You are a newcomer and are not familiar with the place. Someone must inform you."
When she was in Xiangjian County, Yang Xiaoxiao found herself and proposed to cooperate. She was interested in Zhao Langjiang's future potential, which was full of mutual utilization. She was once a spy in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and had many eyes and ears in Yinyang City. Thinking of this, Zhao Langjiang asked, "What is the important news?"
"As far as I know, a few days ago, twelve Northern Zhou dead soldiers moved into Baihufang. The name of this house was under the city lord's mansion. These people may have to assassinate Yuwen Tianlu."
"A few dead soldiers can't do anything to Yuwen Tianlu."
"Li Xiancheng is a scheming person. These twelve dead soldiers may be just a trick, and it is very likely that they will have a trick."
Zhao Langjiang said, "I understand these."
"We also got a news that the Northern Zhou army, which was originally stationed in the northeast, had 50,000 troops moved south for thirty miles ten days ago. When we arrived at Zhaoyao Mountain, there was a plain from Zhaoyao Mountain to Hengduan Mountain. The cavalry could reach it in three hours. Once the battle between Chu and Ming Dynasty began, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was likely to be in a slam."
Zhao Langjiang said, "Anyone with discerning eyes can see that, can you get some news about the explosive points?"
Yang Xiaoxiao lowered his head and said, "I'm pregnant, it's your child."
Zhao Langjiang was shocked and said, "What?"
Yang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I lied to you, General Zhao, you are still nervous." She moved to Zhao Langjiang slowly and whispered, "On the day of the great burial of the Golden Sword, Li Xiancheng is ready to attack you. You must be prepared as soon as possible. Also, there is Li Xiancheng's eyeliner on the northwest corner of the city wall. His every move has been under his control over the past few days."
Zhao Langjiang was shocked. If that happens, Ha Jiangyi rashly climbed the city tower to visit, wouldn’t it fall into Li Xiancheng’s eyes? Then Ha Jiangyi’s situation is probably in danger.
He held Yang Xiaoxiao's shoulder and solemnly reminded: "I have a brother who is mixed with the Northern Zhou Dynasty's dead soldiers. You can find a way to help me pass on a message and let him make plans as soon as possible."
"What are the benefits of others doing things for you?"
