Jiaohua

Chapter 1566 Go to Find Tao Daizhuo

The houses in Lan Ze City imitated the buildings in Juezhou and Longchang, and they are all very tall stone houses.

But they have retained the characteristics of their own tribal nation. The floor of the second floor is covered with very thick felt, which is made of several layers of animal fur sewn together and is extremely soft.

After Zhan Ning and Zhao Ya finished eating the noodles, they couldn't hold on any longer.

Ma Ningsheng helped them to the second floor, and they fell down and fell asleep without even taking off their clothes.

Xia Zhaoyi was downstairs applying makeup in front of the mirror. Soon, she turned into a middle-aged woman with the features of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Lin Wumei watched the entire process of her transformation beyond recognition and was stunned.

"Miss Ali, is there anything in this world that you can't do?"

"There are so many things I don't know," Xia Zhaoyi laughed, "I don't know how to sing and dance, draw and compose, or make wine and sauce."

"You have a lithe figure, but you can't dance?"

"Being flexible is not only good for dancing, but more importantly, it can give you an advantage in a fight."

"It's a pity. You should be able to dance beautifully."

"It's no pity if I don't suffer any loss in a fight."

Lin Wumei smiled and said, "Yes, being good at fighting is the most important thing!"

"I'm leaving now," Xia Zhaoyi stood up and looked at her and said, "I'll be back after dark."

"it is good."

"Can you help me with something during these few hours?"

"Miss Ali, please speak!"

"Can you tell me everything you know about Lord Meng?"

Lin Wumei was stunned. She didn't dare to look into her eyes and avoided them guiltily.

"I won't force you. You can just say whatever you want to say. Take your time to decide in the next few hours."

After saying that, Xia Zhaoyi put on a hood, opened the door to the backyard, and walked into the wind and snow.

Lin Wumei knew that she would definitely ask these questions, and she was prepared, but when she asked directly, Lin Wumei felt like a thorn in her back, and was uneasy.

After all, it is so dishonorable, and it also includes treason...

This may also be the reason why she could not face the soldiers of the Xia family army.

And I feel comfortable next to the girl for a simple reason. She has a special kind of affinity that makes people want to get close to her and touch her.

Xia Zhaoyi left the courtyard. As soon as she came out, the cold wind from the windward side was like a knife, cutting towards her face.

Her portrait has been posted everywhere, side by side with Lin Wuniang's portrait.

Due to the ravages of strong winds, rain and snow, Lin Wuniang's portrait has been half-faded, the ink has faded severely, and the corners have risen.

Even though it was so cold, there were a lot of people on the street. Wherever I went, I could see a large group of people gathered in front of the portraits.

Xia Zhaoyi did not stop, but maintained the pace of a middle-aged woman walking slowly, passing behind groups of people.

There were more patrolling guards on the streets, some of whom specifically grabbed the girls by the shoulders and turned them over to look at them.

In addition to the patrolling guards, there were also teams of troops trotting through the streets.

When passing an alley, Xia Zhaoyi saw several men in gorgeous clothes bargaining.

If one person insults another person, and the army is sent to guard the other person's home, what will happen to his family?

Xia Zhaoyi walked slowly like this for a long, long time, and finally stopped.

The main gate of Yi Shurong's family is just half a mile ahead.

The security there is currently the strictest.

And inside the high wall on her right was the princess mansion of Yi Shurong's elder sister Yi Jingyi.

The decision that He Yanpo regretted most in his life was probably agreeing to Tao Lan to bring her uncle Tao Daizhuo to Beiyuan. Tao Daizhuo went crazy when he got close to Tao Lan, forcing Tao Lan to beg Yi Jingyi to keep Tao Daizhuo with her.

Such a madman naturally could not be kept in the Princess's Mansion. Xia Zhaoyi came here today to find out where the manor he lived.

It was very easy to find out this. Xia Zhaoyi climbed over the wall, threatened a lone maid with a dagger, and soon got the answer.

She did not silence him and took back the dagger.

"I won't kill you. I killed so many people last night, but I only targeted the guards and the masters of the house. I didn't even kill their concubines."

The maid collapsed against the stone wall and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you... Thank you for not killing me."

"If you dare to tell anyone about my coming here today, I will come to find you next time. I recognize your face, I've made a note of it."

"I won't tell you. I absolutely won't tell you!"

Xia Zhaoyi did not stay in the princess's mansion for long. He left the same way he came in.

The maid collapsed on the ground, covering her neck with her hands.

Although the girl did not use much force, the dagger was too sharp and left a very shallow blood mark on her neck.

After a moment's rest, the maid got up from the ground and turned around to look for Yi Jingyi.

Zhuangzi was outside the city, and Xia Zhaoyi followed a caravan out of the city.

She was sitting on a horse-drawn carriage loaded with goods, with two shepherd girls next to her. She kept complaining that she was constantly stopped and questioned by officers and soldiers while she was in the city today.

In addition to complaining, like other Northern Yuan people, they couldn't help but curse "Ali".

They clasped their hands in front of their hearts and prayed to the gods of the grassland, hoping that Ali would be caught soon. Her hands were stained with so much blood, she should be hung on the grassland, stoned, and burned to death.

Xia Zhaoyi looked up at the huge sky that they were looking up at.

The sky was filled with rolling clouds, gloomy and dark. Heavy snow was falling from above, drifting all over the deserted land.

True God?

If there is a true God, he should bless you with good weather, abundant crops and a prosperous people. But has he blessed you?

It doesn't, because it doesn't exist.

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and the horse team soon passed the intersection where Xia Zhaoyi was about to leave the team.

Because Shang Taiyu had been burning, killing and looting for years and robbed the entire Zhitu, the Chinese currency also circulated to the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, Chinese money was more valuable than the original currency of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, because Chinese money could be used to directly purchase pens, ink, paper, inkstones, porcelain, silk, etc. smuggled from China.

Xia Zhaoyi paid the expensive fare, got off the car, and walked towards Shouye Manor where Marquis Jing'an was currently in the wind and snow.

Shouye Village is located at the foot of Gaofeng Mountain and has two huge bends.

The vegetation on the hillside is lush, and the cold snow covers it in the dead of winter. The tall trees stand tall, like Zhuangzi's city wall.

Xia Zhaoyi has never been a person who walks properly, and he would always take the shortcut if there is one.

She easily climbed up the unclimbable snow slope, saving the time of going around in circles.

After entering the farm, she first found a place to wash her face, let her hair down and tied it into a ponytail like the one on the wanted poster, and then put the small bronze mirror she brought with her back into her arms.

Marquis Jing'an went to Mingfang City not long ago. Because he seriously irritated Tao Lan, he and Yan Po sent him back immediately and gave a death order that Tao Daizhuo was not allowed to leave the manor for the next two years.

When she entered the village, she heard Tao Daizhuo's laughter, which was very loud.

Xia Zhaoyi originally wanted to sleep here and wait for Yi Jingyi to bring the army over, but Tao Daizhuo's evil laughter was so lingering in her ears that she really couldn't sleep.

Xia Zhaoyi simply got up and went to the backyard to chop their firewood.

She tied a handkerchief under her nose to keep the dust out.

Then he took out a palm-sized block of wood. The block was very heavy. It was made of thousand-year-old golden nanmu ebony. Inside was a sharp black iron blade, which was specially used for sharpening crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows required for the arm crossbow do not need to be very long or thick. If a piece of wood with a diameter of two inches is stuffed into this block of ebony, seven sharp arrows can come out from the other end at the same time.

In this way, she sat among the sawdust on the ground, gazing at the sky outside the window with her bright eyes, and waited until dark.
