Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 565 Preparation
In the Jiang Mansion in the evening, all the lights in Jiang Shaoyan's yard were lit.

Xiangli walked in with the stewed lotus seed and white fungus soup, glanced at the girl who was lying on the table and was seriously painting, and involuntarily lowered her feet so as not to disturb her.

Carefully placing the lotus seed and white fungus soup on the side table, Xiangli couldn't help but look curiously at the picture the girl was drawing.

When I looked at it, I felt as if I was looking at a ghost painting.

Why... don't you understand?The chaotic yet orderly lines are outlined by the girl's pen.She stopped drawing, and from time to time she stopped the movement of her hands and closed her eyes as if she was remembering something. When she remembered something, she started to draw again.

This painting... Xiangli looked at it carefully for a while, but felt dizzy the more she looked at it, she couldn't help but shook her head, and backed out, not forgetting to close the door when she did.

Miss's illness was cured, she woke up, and her marriage with Ji Shizi was also settled. Ji Shizi, the chosen fiancé-in-law, has nothing to criticize. Miss will always show up in time to rely on when she is in trouble.

Xiangli dragged her cheeks and thought seriously: I heard from those nuns sitting in front of the door holding the soles of their shoes that if a woman can find a lover, she doesn't need to do other things, because she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

But...why did what she saw and felt different from what those nuns said?

After finding a lover, life will continue, unlike the simple sentence in the story book that the two protagonists live happily together and it is over.The young lady has found her husband, and the marriage has been settled, but she still has her own things to do, and she is even busier than before.

What about her?Xiangli rubbed her slightly red ears, thinking a little embarrassedly, if she and Xiao Wu get married one day, uh... after getting married, it seems that she still has to continue to live, work, and receive monthly money, which is nothing like before getting married different.

Thinking about it this way, the most important thing in a woman's life in the mouth of those mothers - finding a lover, getting married, getting married and having children, seems not to be the final result of a person's life, it is only a part of a person's life, After getting married and having children, I have to continue to live, and I have to continue to do my own things.

Just like, right now, Xiangli is the number one servant girl by Miss's side, but in the future, can she also take care of others as a nanny and lead the little servant girls?Thinking of this, Xiangli suddenly felt an unspeakable surge in her heart. It seems that such a day is really good after thinking about it!
With a sound of "Boom," a packet of lotus seed candy wrapped in oiled paper was thrown in front of her.

Xiangli raised her head, looked at Xiao Wu who threw a packet of lotus seed candy to her, and called out, "Brother Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu nodded to her, still stepping on the tiles on the roof, patrolling the roof.

"Brother Xiaowu, do you think I can take care of the little maids like those big family's housekeepers?" Xiangli asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Xiao Wu looked down at her and said, "Miss is very powerful, and there will definitely be many people around her in the future. Of course, she needs to take care of people."

"Yes! Miss is very powerful!" Xiangli sighed faintly, her tone was complex but full of pride.

But it's not because she's great that Miss is great!
After saying this sentence, Xiao Wu, who was about to leave to patrol in the distance, glanced at Xiangli, who was depressed, and realized something, "considerate" for a while, and said: "You are also very good!"

is it?Xiangli Ting's eyes lit up immediately, and she stared at Xiao Wu above her head.

Xiao Wu looked at the little girl's star-like eyes, her ears turned red, she turned her head away, and said: "Of course you are also very good, otherwise you wouldn't be liked by everyone!"

Miss is not the only one who likes fragrant pears, but also...cough!Coughing, Xiao Wu hurriedly got up and flew into the distance: Don't ask Xiangli to see blushing, otherwise it would be embarrassing!

The voices of the two outside the room reached Jiang Shaoyan's ears in the room. She shook her head with a smile, put down the pen in her hand, stood up and looked down at the "painting" in front of her.

She drew the strange nicks and lines on Mrs. Yang's crutches.

Next, it is necessary to find a way to unlock and open the mechanism.

This amount of calculation is not small, let's eat some lotus seeds and white fungus soup cushion to cushion your stomach first!
……

……

In the middle of the night, a figure appeared on the streets of Baoling. He had been walking alone for a while in night clothes that almost blended into the night, but at this moment he suddenly dodged and hid in a dark alley beside him.

At the corner of the street, two guards knocking on the clapper appeared. The knives beside them were not put in the scabbard as usual, but they simply put the sharpened knife directly on their waists, and knocked on the clapper while Looking around, carefully paying attention to the surrounding situation.

In a small town like Baoling, few people walk around the streets after nightfall.At a glance, the shops on both sides of the street were closed and empty, and there was no one there, but the two guards still looked around cautiously.

Walking and watching like this from the street corner to the middle of the street, the taut string was slightly loosened, and one of the guards said angrily: "Since the accident with the uncle of the Zhao family, our Baoling, who is so used to peace, The place is not peaceful either.”

"Master Zhuang from Gusu made a special trip to our place and told us that he was afraid that something like Uncle Zhao's would happen again if he was not careful, and the whole Baoling would be panicked. !" The guard was full of emotion while speaking, "It's so good, how did it become like this?"

"What's the matter? Even His Majesty dared to post that kind of script in a grand manner, what else is impossible?" Another guard shook his head and said with emotion, "I never imagined that such a wise gentleman would do such a thing back then. I thought he was a hero, but I didn't realize that he was an unscrupulous hero!"

"Hey! Don't say a few words! How can people like us talk too much about His Majesty?" The guard beside him reminded his colleagues, "Don't talk about it!"

"What's not to say, His Majesty is talking about it himself?" The guard didn't care.

"What do you know? Some things can be said by His Majesty himself, but not by others..."

While chatting, the two walked farther and farther, and soon walked out of this street and turned to another street.

Only then did the man in night clothes appear from the dark alley. He lowered his eyelids and walked towards a mansion at the end of the street. Then he dodged, jumped over the wall, and fell into the courtyard.

The house was brightly lit, and a person in night clothes walked into the main courtyard, pulled off the black cloth mask in front of the main house of the main courtyard, knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened, and Fang Zhihui, the third lady, appeared Behind the door, he said to him: "Mr. Jiang, come in and talk!"

Jiang Pingping nodded and walked into the house.

Miss Fang, Fang Zhiyao, was reconciling the account book. Seeing him coming, she temporarily stopped what she was doing, looked up at Jiang Pingping, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, you came here late at night, but what happened?"

Jiang Pingping nodded and said, "Our villages have all been raided by officers and soldiers."

"Didn't you know about this a long time ago? Zhou Fang will use several strongholds to gain the trust of that person." Fang Zhiyao glanced at Fang Zhihui, who was beside him with a complicated expression, and said, "Did something go wrong during the process? It was someone who was discovered gone?"

"No, our people have not been discovered." Jiang Pingping shook his head, his eyes were serious, "It's another matter."

"What's the matter?" Fang Zhiyao asked.

Jiang Pingping looked at her and Fang Zhihui, and said: "Our original plan was that Zhou Fang took the initiative to join His Majesty, and we also knew about Zhou Fang's betrayal, so it is normal to evacuate early and find no one. Similarly, As one of His Majesty's people, it is normal for Yang Yan to find someone to kill all the people for His Majesty, but there is one thing that is not normal."

As for the odd thing...

"All the boxes in the village, and even the boxes of dry food buried and hidden by Ah Niu and the others were taken away!" Jiang Pingping said.

In order to "show" the panic of their evacuation, it is impossible to clean up everything in the stronghold, and we must keep some things for life in it.

"I went back and checked. Those officers and soldiers were not looking for any valuables. They didn't take away anything besides, except for all the boxes and boxes." Jiang Pingping said, "It's a bit Something's not right!"

It doesn't seem to be looking for someone, but more like looking for something.

"If one village is like this, it may be a coincidence, but if several villages are like this, then it can't be a coincidence." Jiang Pingping paused when he said this, and his tone was incontrovertible, "What are Yang Yan and the others looking for?" thing, and feel that that thing is in our hands.”

When he said this sentence, even Jiang Pingping himself felt a little baffled: people like Yang Yan are not sure that they won't put so much effort on one person for nothing.What exactly are they looking for?
Jiang Pingping was not the only one who felt strange, Fang Zhiyao and Fang Zhihui looked at each other, and Fang Zhihui couldn't help but ask Jiang Pingping directly: "Mr. Jiang, don't you have some other secrets hidden!"

Jiang Pingping smiled wryly: "Then this secret is really hidden so deep that even I don't know it."

If he, Jiang Pingping, didn't know about it, those generals wouldn't know about it either.

Fang Zhiyao fell silent, and after a while, she asked Jiang Pingping again: "He...has he ever hidden any secrets?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the room.

Jiang Pingping shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't know." He said, "Although he doesn't hide most things from me, he is still a person with his own thoughts. I can't guarantee this."

In fact, after the stockade was searched one after another, he became suspicious and thought about it, if Yang Yan's behavior was not foolish, then he could only be the one who hid the secret.

But he...

"Has he woke up?" Fang Zhiyao asked Jiang Pingping.

Jiang Pingping shook his head: "I never woke up."

Fang Zhiyao's face turned pale slightly, she moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't speak, she just sighed suddenly.

Jiang Pingping looked at Fang Zhiyao's pale face, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again: "I'm going to tell Miss Jiang Si about the village."

Of course he didn't come here to stare at each other with the sisters of the Fang family, helpless.

Fang Zhiyao said "hmm" and didn't take it seriously: "Mr. Jiang can handle this matter as he sees. Since we are cooperating with Miss Jiang Si, we must trust her."

"But doesn't elder sister's trust include his existence?" Fang Zhihui who was on the side spoke suddenly, looking at Fang Zhiyao.After Zhou Fang's incident, she was grateful and trusting to Jiang Shaoyan, and even had a little bit of admiration.

Right now, Fang Zhiyao has never kept Jiang Shaoyan from telling about almost everything, except this matter, from beginning to end.

Fang Zhiyao lowered her eyelids and said, "This incident is my fault. If I have a chance in the future, I will personally apologize to Miss Jiang Si. But about him... the less people know about it, the better."

She dared to bet on other things, but she dared not bet on this one.How did Fang Zhiyao, the eldest lady of the Fang family, ever be so special about other people and things?Who doesn't know about that thought?
Fang Zhihui glanced at Fang Zhiyao, and couldn't help but said, "But he has someone he likes. Not only is she beautiful, but the bigger problem is that she died, and she died at the most beautiful time. There is no solution to this matter."

"I know." Fang Zhiyao said calmly, "Don't worry, third sister, I know what I'm doing."

It's this calmness, it's the fact that "knowing what you're doing" is even more frightening and headache!Fang Zhihui couldn't help shaking her head: It's easier to let go if you're hysterical, yelling, or in a moment of heat, but it's so calm and "clear what you're doing" that's the most troublesome thing.

Jiang Pingping did not open his mouth to intervene in the dispute between the sisters. Compared with the love between his children, it is more important to live first.Miss Jiang is dead, and this is the eternal regret in his heart.Now that these people are in danger, how to protect everyone and not let everyone's 20 years of humiliation and dedication be let down is the key.

"Mr. Jiang has learned military art and formation since he was a child. He originally thought that by relying on these two things, he would be able to make achievements and be rewarded for his aspirations. But once something happened, he finally discovered that there are many things that Jiang does not understand and is not good at in this world. " Jiang Ping said, his voice a little astringent.

The Fang family sisters, who were in the cold war, felt a jump in their hearts. Looking at Jiang Pingping who spoke, a bad feeling arose spontaneously.

"These years, what I have done is really not good, and many things are still a mess in the end." Jiang Pingping said, "The opponent has sat in the Golden Temple for 20 years, and his control over people's hearts and power is not what it used to be. I can't beat him."

"So I don't know a lot of things, including what Yang Yan is going to do right now. But even if we don't know, there is still one thing we can do." Jiang Pingping paused for a while and looked at the Fang family sisters , took a step back, and solemnly said to the two, "From now on, if you have anything to do with Miss Fang and Miss Fang, you can send pigeons to Chang'an. The letter was delivered to Miss Jiang Si. You two can rest assured, Miss Jiang Si will definitely do better than me..."

If you don't realize anything after hearing this, then the Fang family sisters have lived in vain.

The expressions of the two of them suddenly changed, almost at the same time, they blurted out: "Mr. Jiang, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Pingping said calmly: "We are going to kill Yang Yan!"

If you can't solve the problem by cutting the mess with a sharp knife, then just solve the person!
