Chapter 341 Yan Cong was silenced, and Bai Yan was cruel to himself
"Come in!"
Zheng Liu said softly with doubts.
With Zheng Liu's permission, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a servant walked in with a piece of cloth in his hand.
"Gentleman, just outside the door of the room, a man suddenly came over and asked me to give this thing to Mr. Wu! After saying that, the man left."
After the servant arrived at the private room, he reported to Zheng Liu.
After hearing the servant's words, not only Zheng Liu and Xi Cheng were full of doubts, but even Wu Gao was confused.
In Wu Gao's eyes, only a few people who came to Luoyang on this trip knew about him, let alone his whereabouts.
Why would anyone know that he was here at this time and give the servant a piece of cloth to bring to him?
What exactly is going on?
Could it be that the news has leaked!
Thinking of this, Wu Gao suddenly became worried. This operation was of great importance, and what he was most worried about was that something would go wrong and all the previous efforts would be wasted.
In the private room.
Zheng Liu took the piece of cloth from the servant's hand and handed it directly to Wu Gao without looking at it.
Although they were very worried about the sudden appearance of the cloth, neither Zheng Liu nor Xi Yan suspected Wu Gao from the beginning to the end.
The two knew very well that among all the anti-Qin forces, the Wu family did not need to be doubted. After all, if it came to enmity with the Qin State, the Wu family was definitely far superior to the two of them.
Therefore, at the moment, the two of them are just worried about this sudden change, worried that the news has been leaked.
"Um!"
Wu Gao took the piece of cloth from Zheng Liu, and after opening it, the words that came into view made Wu Gao's pupils shrink, with some disbelief, but also with a hint of joy.
After reading all the contents inside, Wu Gao's face was full of excitement under the worried eyes of Zheng Liu and Xi Cheng.
"Zixiao!"
Wu Gao put away the notice, then looked at Zheng Liu and Xicheng, and handed the notice to them.
When they heard the name read out by Wu Gao, both Zheng Liu and Xi Cheng were shocked.
Zixiao?
Along with this name, a full name immediately emerged in their minds: Xu Zixiao!
Think of this.
Zheng Liu and Xicheng were full of doubts. Didn't they say that Xu Zixiao was assassinated in Handan, was poisoned, and then left Handan? How come he is here now? Could it be that he was not poisoned to death?
The two of them quickly looked at the contents inside the cloth.
Sure enough, in addition to the address, there was also the name Xu Zixiao on it.
"Brother Wu, I've heard the name of Mr. Xu for a long time. Can you introduce Mr. Xu to me?"
Corpse Yan looked at Wu Gao first and said.
Shiyan is the grandson of Shicheng, Prime Minister of the Wei State. When he was in the Wei State, he had heard about Xu Zixiao's deeds from Hui Shi, so he had always been yearning for him and wanted to get to know him. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether Xu Zixiao was alive or dead.
Although he didn't understand why Xu Zixiao knew that the three of them were here, seeing Xu Zixiao's arrival, Xi Yan was naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity to get acquainted.
"Zheng Liu wants to meet him too! Fortunately, Mr. Xu is there this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Zheng Liu, who was beside Xiyan, also raised his hands and agreed.
How could Zheng Liu not want to make friends with the Xu family who could spend 50,000 shi of grain and millet at once?
Xu Zixiao had saved lives of the Wu siblings, and was also a guest of Dai Wang Jia. Now that he had the opportunity, he would like to get to know him.
Inside Luoyang City.
In a small mansion, Bai Yan was dressed in silk clothes and looking at the corridors around him, there were still some faint traces of blood.
Bai Yan walked towards the corridor and soon stopped in a study room covered in blood.
When two cronies came forward and opened the door.
A pungent stench hit his face instantly.
"Don't let anyone in!"
Bai Yan told Huai beside him. At this moment, Huai and other close followers were all wearing commoners and carrying swords.
"promise!"
After hearing Bai Yan's words, Huai quickly accepted the order, looked at the corpses on the floor in the study, frowned slightly, and then left with the others.
Bai Yan pinched his nose and looked at the corpses in the room. They had not been dead for long.
"Cough cough cough!"
Bai Yan coughed a few times, and his pale face trembled with the cough, indicating that he was not in good health.
At this moment, under Bai Yan's gaze, among the corpses on the ground, a young man was kneeling on the ground, with a painful and ferocious look on his face.
"Zheng Tao! Chu Qiang, you are so cruel! You Zheng family broke your promise! I, Yan Zong, curse you Zheng family to not have a good death! not to have a good death!"
Sometimes the man muttered to himself, sometimes he shouted loudly.
Just outside this small courtyard, Bai Yan heard the young man's roar and came in.
Because Bai Yan knew very well that Zheng Tao was the eldest son of Zheng Gong of the Zheng clan, and Chu Qiang was the daughter of General Chu Ren, whom they met often when they destroyed Han, and was also Zheng Tao's first wife.
is also like this.
Bai Yan only stopped when he heard the sound. When he saw no one around, he came to the door and knocked.
After a long time, there was no response. After some thought and speculation, he asked Huai Dai to climb over the wall and enter. As soon as Huai Fang came in, he saw blood stains.
inside the room.
"I won't die well."
Yan Zong kept murmuring, the resentment in his eyes almost overflowing.
At this moment, Yan Cong suddenly discovered that the young man in silk clothes who was standing outside the door had been standing there the whole time, neither coming in nor leaving.
Instead, she was looking at him.
This frightened Yan Zong, and he instinctively thought that he was not dead.
However, when Yan Zong looked at himself and his own corpse in the distance under the corpses of his children, Yan Zong was once again sure that he was dead.
"You, can you see me?"
Yan Cong thought for a moment, then looked at the young man with a dull expression in his resentful eyes, and asked in disbelief.
In Yan Cong's eyes, that young man is obviously a living talent!
And as the words fell.
When Yan Cong saw the corner of the young man's mouth raised, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, because Yan Cong, who was still doubtful at first, was now completely sure.
That boy can indeed see him!!
After the fear.
When Yan Zong came back to his senses, he felt lucky. If he could see him, revenge would mean death. Even if he died, he would drag the Zheng family and bury his whole family with him.
"help me!"
After Yan Cong stood up, he stumbled to the young man, knelt on the ground, and looked at the young man pleadingly.
After being killed, when he saw his elderly father and mother being killed, and when he saw his wife being insulted and then killed, they even spared their young daughter, as well as their two sons.
At this moment, Yan Cong no longer cares about why this young man can see him. In Yan Cong's heart, there is only revenge. If Zheng does not die, he Yan Cong will not die in peace!
"Who are you and why were you killed, cough cough cough~! Just now, why did you mention the Zheng family again?"
Bai Yan looked at Yan Cong and couldn't help but cough violently as he spoke softly.
Next.
Under Bai Yan's gaze.
Yan Zong told all the origins of his name, and the reason why he was killed began with the music engineer who became Mrs. Zheng's daughter, Zheng Tao's daughter, a long time ago.
At that time, Yan Cong was famous for his antiphonal music. He often went to the Zheng family to teach Mrs. Zheng how to play the piano, and he also had an admiration for Mrs. Zheng in his heart.
However, things did not go as Yan Cong wished. Yan Cong did not win the favor of Mrs. Zheng. Instead, as time passed, he had an affair with Zheng Tao's wife Chu.
Some time ago.
When Yan Zong was preparing to have fun with the Chu family, he saw Mrs. Zheng coming in. Yan Zong hurriedly hid under the bed. Later, he accidentally learned of the plans of the Zheng family and Mrs. Zheng, which involved many noble families.
After Mrs. Zheng left, Mrs. Chu told Yan Cong not to tell anyone. Yan Cong also knew that the matter was beyond his control, so he nodded repeatedly.
Na Zeng thought that the Chu family was just trying to stabilize him, so that night, the Zheng family sent people to the mansion to imprison him.
Inside the room.
Bai Yan looked at the corpses on the floor of the room, large and small, old and young.
"Mrs. Zheng!"
Bai Yan said.
When he learned about Mrs. Zheng yesterday, Bai Yan was a little worried, but he heard that Ying Kan had already gone to investigate.
Unexpectedly, Duke Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Zheng all participated in the assassination of Ying Zheng.
Thinking of this, Bai Yan turned around and slowly walked out of the room under Yan Cong's pleading eyes.
After knowing these things.
A plan slowly emerged in Bai Yan's mind.
Half an hour later.
In a study room of a mansion in Luoyang City, Bai Yan, who came to this mansion, was lying on the seat, enjoying the beating of his legs by the maid, while holding a bamboo slip and reading the contents.
It looks like this, not to mention how cozy and comfortable it is.
Huai walked in from the door at this time.
"Gentleman, the message has been sent!"
Wearing cloth, Huai came to Bai Yan, bowed his hands in front of Bai Yan and bowed.
Inform Bai Yan that the soldiers who just went to deliver the news have returned.
"good!"
Bai Yan nodded.
But when I spoke, my voice was clearly in pain.
"Gentleman, your body?"
He looked at Bai Yan with some worry.
When he first saw the general taking poison, even though the poison was not extremely poisonous and there was an antidote, Huai couldn't help but feel frightened.
He thought he was ruthless enough on the battlefield, but then he realized that compared to him, the general was not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to himself.
"No problem!"
Bai Yan shook his head, feeling the coolness of winter outside the window, and put his hand close to the charcoal in front of him in the study.
Now Ying Zheng and all other officials of the Qin State have left Luoyang, but he still remains in Luoyang City.
In fact, from the beginning, after Bai Yan asked Ying Zheng to leave Luoyang in advance, and received permission, he returned to the mansion to hide his whereabouts and stayed in Luoyang secretly.
Now if Bai Yan's guess is correct, let alone others, even the accompanying officials of the Qin State, Li Shi, Old General Yang, Mao Jiao, the Queen Mother, and even Ying Zheng all thought that he had rushed towards Zhongmu.
This is what Bai Yan hopes to see.
Only in this way can the enemy hiding in the dark be given an illusion from the very beginning, making it unexpected for everyone.
In this conspiracy, Bai Yan knew that it was very dangerous to fight with those nobles, and he would be in dire straits if he was not careful, so Bai Yan had to be careful not to make people suspicious.
However, unexpectedly, in order to hide his whereabouts, he took a very secluded path and happened to meet Yan Cong.
"Count the time! Then Wu Gao is coming soon! Ahem!"
As Bai Yan spoke, he couldn't help but cough again, and a slightly painful look appeared on his pale face.
The maid on the side quickly patted Bai Yan's back gently.
