Chapter 143: Plan in Plan (3)
He didn't believe anything he said.
There is no such link in Xiao Jiu and his plan!
So he went to find Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu avoided him. He subconsciously understood that the news was true and Xiao Jiu had really betrayed him.
Xiao Jiu knelt on the ground, looking a little silent.
"No, I took refuge in Third Young Master just to find out what he was planning behind his back."
Zhou Wuping was stunned and asked, "...what's the matter?"
Xiao Jiu looked at him intently and slowly threw a bomb from his mouth.
"Lieutenant Yang has secretly taken refuge with the Third Young Master and plans to force the palace to rebel on the night of the full moon in three days!"
Zhou Wuping slowly opened his mouth wide, his expression looked shocked and incredible, and he took a deep breath.
…
On this moonlit night, the two people in the room didn't know what they were discussing. It took a long time for Xiao Jiu to come out of the door, and then sneaked into the night quietly, leaving no trace, leaving no trace when he came, and not alerting others when he left.
Xiao Ying returned to Shangchun alone along the original road. She pretended to see the scenery along the way, but in fact she was trying to remember the route.
When she slipped out of the team that night, she did not go back immediately, but hid in the nearest woods. It was not until Mr. Qingxi and others returned the same way that she left behind them and set off back to the spring.
She remembered what Xiao Jiu taught her. If they were pursued by an enemy, they should follow the enemy's train of thought and escape. They thought they would rush to Shangchun immediately if they slipped out of the team. In fact, this was not the case, and they were tricked by Xiao Ying.
"Madam, it's getting dark, could you please let me stay for one night?"
Xiao Ying walked for a day and was tired and hungry. Finally she met someone and hurriedly knocked on the door and asked.
At this moment, she was dressed in men's clothing, her face was smeared with dirt, and her appearance had not grown, which made people subconsciously think that she was a young boy, as if she had just suffered a disaster and escaped.
In fact, these are all traces she made intentionally, just to confuse other people's eyes and avoid attracting the attention of some people with malicious intentions.
The woman in coarse linen clothes looked at him up and down, a little wary of strangers, "Where are you from? Why don't you go home after dark?"
This is a disguised attempt to inquire about Xiao Ying's origins.
Xiao Ying said what she had planned for a long time and pretended to be disappointed, "I am from Chenzhou. My father is an official in the court. My brother and I came to Beijing to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, we met a gangster on the way and the team was separated.
I had no choice but to rush to Shangchun while looking for my brother."
A son of an official?!
After hearing this, the woman's eyes were filled with surprise. Only then did she see carefully that although Xiao Ying was dirty, her skin was fair, and the fabric and dress on her clothes were different from those of ordinary people. She was dubious, and unconsciously lowered her posture, cautiously.
Ask, "May I ask who the adult in Lang Jun's family is...?"
Xiao Ying smiled and said nothing, "Don't worry, ma'am, I have sent a letter to my father who is in court. He will send someone to find us soon, and I won't disturb you for a long time."
Of course this is false, but it just gives people the illusion that she has a great background and her father is an official in the court. And she has already communicated with her father. If something unexpected happens to her along the way, such as missing or something,
Her untouchable father will definitely find the person responsible.
When the aunt heard this, her heart trembled, and she didn't dare to have any bad intentions. She kept saying, "Mr. Sir, you're welcome, please come in quickly."
He warmly welcomed Xiao Ying into his home with a hint of respect. After explaining Xiao Ying's identity and intention to his family, Xiao Ying successfully stayed.
At night, she slept alone in a room holding the dagger she carried with her. In the middle of the night, she heard someone whispering outside, but the sound stopped after a while.
Xiao Ying was alert for a while, and then fell asleep a little nervously. Her body was tense, as if she would wake up from her dream if there was any movement.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ying left quietly while the woman and her family were still awake. Before leaving, she placed a bunch of coins on her pillow in the room as a way to repay her for taking in her last night.
The woman didn't see Xiao Ying when she woke up in the morning. She thought she had been deceived. She was about to get angry when she suddenly saw the extra money on her pillow. Her eyes lit up and she was pleasantly surprised, "He is really a young man from a wealthy family..."
Look, the money from this one plant is enough for her family's expenses for half a year. The woman no longer cares about the reason why Xiao Ying sneaked away, and the family is immersed in joy.
Xiao Ying was taught very well by Xiao Jiu that she should not have the intention of harming others, and that she should be on guard against others. She went on the road alone and did not give others a chance to have bad thoughts towards her.
Xiao Ying continued to walk alone, trying to avoid crowds along the way. She only walked on the main roads and not on the small roads. When she came across the market, she bought more dry food to eat on the road. At night, she found a secluded place if she didn't encounter other people.
Having a place to sleep greatly ensures your own safety.
This was the first time she had traveled so far and stayed alone for such a long time. The thirteen-year-old girl missed her brother and friends a little.
Looking at the endless road ahead and the mountains in the distance, Xiao Ying raised her head and glanced at the scorching sun above her head, gritted her teeth and persisted, walking towards Shangchun.
Harper searched frantically in the capital for several days, but could not find even the shadow of the murderer. King Qi wanted to calm down the incident and randomly pushed a few scapegoats out, which would be an explanation to the southern barbarians.
How could Harper not know that the real murderer was actually someone else, but he couldn't find it, and the weather was hot, so Chi'er's body couldn't be left for long.
Helpless, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, endure his anger, and return to Nanman with Chi'er's body.
The envoys from other countries had rushed back home one after another after Chi'er's accident. Firstly, they were afraid that they would be accidentally involved in this troublesome matter. Secondly... they were also afraid that one day they would die in the capital of King Qi.
It's too dangerous to go to spring. Their mission has been accomplished. How long will it take if they don't leave now?
On the day when the Nanman envoys were sent out of the city, it was Yang Guosi who saw them off on behalf of the King of Qi.
Harper saw the right moment, and when no one was paying attention, he whispered in Yang Guosi's ear, "Lieutenant Yang, don't forget our agreement!"
He was not only referring to the previous agreement with their king, but also later Harper asked the other party to find out the real murderer of Chi'er for him in the royal capital, and after he returned, he tried his best to persuade the Southern Barbarian King to send troops as soon as possible to help Yang Guosi.
Ascended to the throne and wiped out the rest of Qi's forces.
"Definitely." Yang Guosi responded with a slight smile. From a distance, it seemed that the two of them just exchanged simple greetings without attracting anyone's attention at all.
"Set off!"
Harper was riding a horse, his face as dark as water, without a trace of smile on his face. Several people behind him were carrying a sealed coffin filled with ice. When he came, he was beautiful, but when he left, there was only heaviness in the team, and everyone looked sad.
Chi'er is dead, and all of them will bear the endless wrath of the Nanman King when they return, and some of them may die as a result. Their king has never been a kind king.
Walking to the hillside outside the city, Harper finally looked back at the capital city of Qi, taking in this prosperous and exquisite city with a deep look in his eyes.
This spring, he will be back.
