Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 50
It was late autumn, and the night in the mountains was already a bit cold. Chen Nian walked slowly all the way, and unknowingly arrived at Chaoyangzi's residence.The door of Chaoyangzi's room was wide open, and a person was sorting out medical cases under the lamp. Hearing footsteps outside the door, he raised his eyes and saw that it was Chen Nian, so he lowered his head again and asked, "What's the matter today?" Are you free to come to my place?"

Chen Nian smiled, stepped into the door, and asked, "Does the Taoist have anything to eat? I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm going to starve to death."

Chaoyangzi didn't lift his head, but just tapped the table over there with the tip of his pen.When the year passed, he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the plate on the table, stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites, and ate another piece in his hand. Then he approached Chaoyangzi's writing desk and asked, "What did the Taoist priest write?" Woolen cloth?"

She glanced twice, recognized that it was a medical record, and then asked again: "Are there many sick people in the village?"

"It's okay." Chaoyangzi replied, and then called out impatiently, "Stay away from my desk, and don't drop the crumbs of snacks on my desk."

Chen Nian chuckled, stuffed the snack in his mouth, clapped his palms again, and sighed unsatisfactorily: "Although the Taoist priest has a bad temper, his popularity is not bad. Right now, there are people in the village. You can also get a snack here."

Hearing this, Chaoyangzi glanced at her with his eyelids lifted, and said: "I see that your temper has improved a lot these days, and you have been sitting with that old monk in meditation?" , "Go and move the stool."

Chen Nian hurriedly moved a round stool and put it beside the desk, without Chaoyangzi's instructions, he sat down and stretched his wrist in front of Chaoyangzi.Chaoyangzi put his finger on it, concentrated on the treatment for a while, and unconsciously showed some satisfaction on his face, and said: "That's right, that old monk has some skills. But I don't know why your master's method doesn't work, I watched her eat vegetarian food all day long. Reciting Buddha's name, I wish I could become a monk, but my inner breath is still tyrannical and uncontrollable."

Chen Nian withdrew his hand and said: "I also persuaded the master not to be too obsessed with practicing miraculous skills. However, the only thing to do is to solve it yourself. Others will watch, no matter how anxious you are, it will be useless."

Chaoyangzi nodded slowly, and sighed: "Her temper is aggressive and aggressive. She has been like this for decades, and she can't change it for a while. Forget it, let her go."

Chen Nian was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Master Taoist, I'm going to Jizhou."

Chaoyangzi was a little surprised, and asked, "What are you doing there?"

"Scheme! Calculate a way out for the victims in this mountain." Chen Nian lowered his head, played with his fingertips, and said slowly, "Master Daoist, I'm actually a bit uncertain, but I'm the head of the village. Everyone is still looking at me and pointing at me, regardless of whether I have the bottom line or not, I have to act like I have a plan in mind and stride forward."

Chaoyangzi looked at her for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then go forward, if you can get me, just ask."

"Really?" Chennian raised his face to look at Chaoyangzi, and said with a smile, "The Taoist chief will give you some human skin masks that can be transformed!"

Seeing her playful smile, Chaoyangzi was so angry that he wanted to hit her with the medical books on the case, angrily said: "No! If you want, whose face do you like, Daoist will peel it off for you now!"

Chen Nian shivered unknowingly when he heard the words, and smiled dryly, "Forget it then."

Chaoyangzi glared at her, but he still taught her a few tricks to conceal his appearance, and took out two small porcelain bottles for her, saying: "The bottle tied with a red string is a drug, colorless and tasteless, don't tell me If you eat it, just a few drops on the candlelight can knock people down, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, you won't be able to move for twelve hours. The other one is the antidote."

Chen Nian knew it was a good thing, so he put it into his arms in a hurry, and asked with a salivating smile, "Is there anything else? Give it to me too! I'm working hard for everyone, don't be stingy, Taoist priest." .”

Chao Yangzi couldn't help but glared at her again, and said, "Yes! There is also poison that kills as soon as you touch it, do you want it?"

Chen Nian thought for a while, and said: "Forget it." Even though she said so, she still searched for a lot of pills from Chaoyangzi, and then she went out, walked two steps but turned around again, picked Looking at the door frame, he said to Chaoyangzi, "Master Daoist, I really didn't come here to plot against you."

Chao Yangzi asked angrily: "It's a good thing you haven't calculated yet. If you calculate again, can I still leave something behind?"

Chen Nian lowered his eyes and said softly: "Master Dao, don't be angry, I feel a little warmer in my heart when I'm here with you for a while, and when I turn around and fight with others, my heart won't be so cold."

She is just a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, yet she has to bear the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in the village, Chaoyangzi softened, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, who is really angry with you, a little girl." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, got up and went to the table to bring the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, walked over and stuffed it into Chen Nian's hand and said, "Go back quickly, don't think about it so much. Take responsibility when you should take on it, and let it go when you should put it down." I have to put it down, I feel really tired, so let’s quit, and Daoist will take you to travel around the world!"

"Hey!" Chen Nian responded readily, took the plate unceremoniously, turned around and left.After her figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Chaoyangzi came back to his senses, looked at his empty palm, blinked his small eyes, and said to himself: "It seems that I have been fooled by this girl again." ..."

On September 21, Chen Nian secretly left Hukouling with Lu Rongfeng and his daughter. The three of them avoided Feilongxing, crossed Taihang Mountain, and headed for Jizhou.Who knew that Xue Shengxian was not in the city when he entered Jizhou city.Chen Nian was very surprised and asked Lu Rongfeng, "Is the news accurate?"

Lu Rongfeng replied: "There is no mistake. That brother is my life-and-death friend. He has stayed in Jizhou Chengshoufu for more than 20 years. He is considered an old man. According to him, Xue Shengxian left Jizhou five days ago and went to Qingzhou. .”

"Qingzhou?" Chen Nian frowned unconsciously, "Why did Xue Shengxian go to Qingzhou?"

Qingzhou is in the hands of Xue Shengying, and the two brothers have always been at odds with each other. How could Xue Shengxian go to Qingzhou?Aren't you afraid of being detained by Xue Shengying again?
Lu Rongfeng shook his head: "He didn't know about it either, it seems that Xue Shengxian went there secretly and didn't say anything about it."

Chen Nian couldn't figure out why Xue Shengxian went to Qingzhou, but the matter was very important, so she went to the Chengshou Mansion in person at night, but she couldn't find Xue Shengxian, and went through all the letters, military newspapers and other things in his study. I believe that Xue Shengxian is indeed not in Jizhou.

"Master, what should we do? Should we wait for Xue Shengxian in Jizhou, or go to Qingzhou to find him?" Lingque asked Chennian.

Chen Nian thought for a moment, then said: "Last night I found some letters, Qingzhou urged Jizhou to ask for food and grass, Jizhou is already preparing to transport, if these food and grass really fall into Qingzhou's hands, it will be difficult to seize again. I guess Xue Shengxian won't come back for a while, we don't have time to wait here, why not go to Qingzhou to find him."

Lu Rongfeng hesitated after hearing this, and said, "Going to Qingzhou? Would it be too risky?"

Lingque was the first to say: "Father, what's the risk here? Besides, maybe before we reach Qingzhou, we may meet Xue Shengxian on the way back, it's better than waiting here."

Chen Nian thought for a while, and said: "Zheng Lun is currently leading the army, Xue Shengying is the only one in Qingzhou. He is brave but not resourceful, so there is nothing to worry about. It's okay to go."

After the three of them discussed and made up their minds, they immediately left Jizhou and came to Qingzhou. Afraid of missing Xue Shengxian, they changed their attire and rushed to Qingzhou via Feilongxing.

Since Zhang Huaimin retreated to Xinye, far away from Qingzhou, Qingzhou City is not as heavily guarded as before.Although they are not willing to let the exiles enter the city at the moment, merchants and pedestrians who come and go can enter as long as they pay enough money.Chen Nian and Lu's father and daughter mixed into the city, first found an inconspicuous inn to stay, and then discussed how to find Xue Shengxian.

Lu Rongfeng said: "I don't know if Xue Shengxian came to Qingzhou to hide the truth from Xue Shengying. If he didn't hide it, it would be easy to find. If he even kept it from Xue Shengying, it would be difficult to find it."

But Chen Nian thought of someone, and said to Lu Rongfeng: "It's easy to talk about. It's just that I can't show up, so I have to go to Uncle Lu for me. You go to the city guard's mansion to find someone named Qiu San secretly Say I'm here, tell him to come and see me."

"Qiu San? This person is called Qiu San?" Lu Rongfeng couldn't help asking.

Unexpectedly, this immediately caught Chen Nian. Although she and Qiu San have known each other for a long time, they have always been addressed by Qiu San, and they really don't know what his real name is. "I think I won't be called Qiu San anymore, but I don't know what his name is." She thought for a while and said, "Go to the city guard's mansion and say that he is a relative of Xiaobao. I need to find Mr. Qiu for urgent matters."

Chen Nian described Qiu San's appearance to Lu Rongfeng again, and Lingque said a few words just now: "I met him when he was still in Qingfengzhai. Sneaky, isn't it?"

Chen Nian laughed, thought about Qiu San's appearance, and said that he was not wronged if he had a wicked eyebrow and a mouse eye, so he said with a smile: "That's him, he stayed in Qingfeng Village for a while."

"Then I'll go look for him." Lingque said.

Chen Nian nodded: "Alright, you go with Uncle Lu, you two play by ear, safety is the most important thing."

Lu Rongfeng and Lingque agreed together, and went out of the inn to look for Qiu San in the city guard's mansion.It was also a coincidence that the two of them had just arrived outside the city guard's mansion, and before they had invited anyone to pass on the message, they happened to meet some general-looking people returning from outside on horseback.The sparrow's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that one of them had slender eyebrows and eyes, and a greasy face. It was Qiu San who had met several times in Qingfengzhai, so he hurriedly shouted: "Lord Qiu!"

Just as Qiu San got off his horse, he heard someone calling him, he subconsciously followed the sound, saw a young girl calling him, he was a little surprised, then looked at Ling Que, suddenly recognized her, and was startled for a moment.

Zheng Lun beside him noticed Qiu San's strange place, glanced at Qiu San indifferently, then turned his head to look at Ling Que.

Seeing that Qiu San didn't respond, Lingque hurriedly called again: "Master Qiu, I'm Xiaobao's aunt, don't you remember?"

Qiu San snorted secretly, thinking that Lao Tzu's name is Brother Xiaobao, you are Aunt Xiaobao, is it possible that you will have to elder Laozi for the rest of your life?He was slandering, but he glanced at Zheng Lun next to him, and immediately reacted, with a look of impatience on his face, and he sighed: "Look, here is another poor relative! You go in first, wait I sent them away, and that's it."

Zheng Lun didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, and led the other people towards the mansion with big strides.Seeing them entering the mansion, Qiu San walked quickly towards Lingque and Lu Rongfeng, looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you two here? "

Lingque replied in a low voice: "He came here with Chen Nian."

Hearing this name, Qiu San almost jumped up from the ground, and said in surprise: "Is she in Qingzhou now?" Seeing Lingque nodding, he immediately complained in his heart, rubbed his hands and turned around on the spot twice, and felt lost again, hurriedly Looking around vigilantly, he said to Lingque, "It's inconvenient to talk here, where do you live? Wait until I find an opportunity to sneak over."

Lingque then told Qiu San where he lived.Qiu San sucked his cheeks twice, nodded his head to express his understanding, and saw Lu Rongfeng, who had been stern and silent all the time, grinned dryly at the corner of his mouth, as a way of saying hello, then turned his head and whispered to Lingque: "The situation in Qingzhou is complicated right now, you should be more careful, especially Miss Xie, try not to go out."

The sparrow nodded in response.

Before Qiu San left, he turned around again and said: "Xiaobao's surname is Chen, he is thirteen years old, and there is only one blind old woman in the family. You are his distant cousins, and they were found from the countryside. If anyone asks, don't you To say it was missed."

Lingque couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Xiaobao is this big?"

Qiu San also thought of the "Auntie", the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "It's okay, although your carrot is small, you are still alive!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care to talk to his father and daughter anymore, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it for Lingque, then turned around and walked quickly into the city guard's mansion.Lingque and her father didn't dare to stay outside the city guard's mansion, and walked half a circle around the city to confirm that no one was following them, and then returned to the inn.

Chen Nian heard that Ling Que claimed to be Xiaobao's aunt, so he laughed unconsciously, and said: "Xiaobao seems to call him third brother. You are Xiaobao's aunt, but you have grown him a generation."

The sparrow was speechless, and said: "No wonder he had such an expression at that time, I didn't mean it, I have to explain it to him later, please don't pick on etiquette."

Lu Rongfeng was silent, and only let his daughter talk, until Lingque had finished talking, and then said to Chen Nian: "Master, I saw people coming and going in the city guard's mansion, and many generals came and went. , like something happened."

"Are there a lot of generals?" It stands to reason that Zheng Lun led the army outside, and naturally there were many generals following in the army, so the city guard's mansion shouldn't be so lively.Thinking about what Qiu San said about the complicated situation in Qingzhou, Chen Nian frowned slightly, and pondered, "Looking at it this way, Xue Shengying should know that Xue Shengxian came to Qingzhou. I don't know what the two brothers can do when they get together. .”

Chen Nian couldn't think of it for a while, Lu's father and daughter were even more puzzled, the three of them simply stopped thinking about it, and just waited for Qiu San to find it.When it was about to get dark, a woman who looked like a woman came to the inn to look for Xiaobao's aunt.Lingque had been waiting in the lobby with her father, when she heard that she was busy, she got up and walked over, saying, "I am."

The woman looked at her carefully, exaggerated her affection, and shouted: "Grandma, I found you! The old lady heard that the third master said you were coming, so she hurriedly called her servant to pick you up. The carriage is waiting outside. , it's time for a curfew in a while, tell the girl next to you to pack up your luggage quickly, and let's go back home now?"

As he spoke, he handed a bundle to Lingque, and laughed again: "Grandma, don't blame the servant girl for being abrupt, please change your clothes. The old lady is getting older now, and she likes people around her to dress brightly and brightly."

Lingque was confused by what he heard, and gave his father a wink, telling him to wait in the hall, while he went back to the backyard with the bundle to find Chen Nian.

After hearing what she said, Chen Nian opened the bundle and saw that except for a set of fine women's clothes inside, there was also a green cloth skirt underneath.After thinking about it for a while, she understood Qiu San's arrangement, and said to Lingque: "Hurry up and change your clothes, you will play the lady, and I will play the maid."

Lingque had a quick temper, and changed her attire without saying a word.The two of them came out of the backyard.The old lady rushed up to meet her, and led the two of them to the outside of the inn. She glanced at Lu Rongfeng who was following behind, and asked Lingque with a smile, "Grandma, is this Uncle Chen?"

Lingque's mind was also clear, she nodded and said: "Exactly."

The woman smiled and blessed Lu Rongfeng, and said: "The old lady asked about you, and said that it was thanks to you for protecting my aunt all the way."

Lu Rongfeng didn't know what kind of drama these people were doing, so he just nodded his head, accepting the matter.

The carriage was parked outside the door, the woman asked Chennian and the two to get on the carriage, but asked Lu Rongfeng to sit in front of the carriage with the driver.Chen Nian and Ling Que looked at each other, got into the carriage, and after getting in, they found that there was a maid hidden in the carriage, who was dressed exactly like Chen Nian.

The woman came in after her, and as soon as she closed the car door, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said to Chen Nian, "Miss, hide quickly."

The maid has deftly lifted off the felt covered under the car, and removed a baffle, revealing a hidden compartment where a person was hiding just now.Chen Nian didn't even ask, so he lay down.The woman and the maid worked together to restore the mechanism to its original state, and hurriedly explained the life experience of the "aunt" Lingque in detail.

While speaking, the carriage turned the corner of the street, and there were already officers and soldiers in an inn next to them checking the passengers staying in the inn.Lingque took a look through the crack of the car window, showed surprise, and asked the woman in a low voice, "What's going on?"

The mother-in-law replied: "The slaves don't know either, the third master ordered us to take you back to the mansion immediately."

Before the words were finished, the carriage stopped, and someone outside asked who was in the carriage, and the coachman sitting in front of the carriage cursed loudly: "You're blind! Do you dare to stop Mr. Qiu's carriage? "

Chen Nian's hearing is already very good, even though he is hiding in the car, he can hear the sounds outside very clearly.After the coachman finished cursing, there seemed to be a silence outside, and then a soft sneer sounded from a distance.Chen Nian's heart trembled slightly, and He Ze's voice came over unhurriedly: "Qiu Boshan, your servant's tone is loud enough."

Qiu San was beside He Ze. Hearing this, he smiled awkwardly, knocked his feet on the horse's belly, took a few steps forward, scolded the coachman with a sullen face, and said, "You bastard! I looked into your eyes I just went blind!"

The coachman saw Qiu San just now, he was so frightened that he immediately rolled down from the car, and called out timidly: "My lord."

Qiu San glanced at him angrily, then looked at the carriage behind, and asked coldly, "Who's in there?"

The woman in the car gave Lingque a wink, opened the car door and went out, went to Qiu Sanma and gave a blessing, bowed her head and said: "My lord, the old lady heard that my aunt came from her hometown, and told us to take it back to the mansion immediately." Go, say no to living outside, let others laugh at you."

Qiu San showed a look of sudden realization, and then got a little annoyed, and said: "This old lady, I told her to pick up people when I have time, why are you still so impatient!"

He turned his head and smiled at He Ze, and said helplessly: "A distant relative of mine came from another place in the car. No, the old lady asked to take her home again. During the war outside, the Seventh Aunt All the eighth aunts came to join us, and the house was almost full."

Qiu San came from a poor background, thanks to Xue Shengying's reuse, he climbed to his current position, this is something that many people in Qingzhou city know.He Ze just smiled lightly when he heard the words, urged the horse to come forward, and said with a half-smile, "Qiu Boshan, may I invite this relative of yours to come out and meet?"

Qiu San's face darkened, but he didn't refuse, got off the horse and walked to the side of the car, took a deep breath, and said through the car window: "Little aunt, please come out for a while."

Supported by the maid, Sparrow slowly got out of the car, lowered her head and stood close to the side of the car.He Ze's soldiers went up to look inside the car, then bent down to look under the car, then shook their heads slightly at He Ze.He Ze smiled, looked down at Ling Que and the maid from the height of the horse, and said calmly: "Please raise your head."

The sparrow slowly raised its head, and did as the old woman had instructed, and drooped its eyelids not to look at He Ze.He Ze took a careful look at the two of them, then turned to Qiu San with a smile and said, "Your little aunt is really young enough."

Qiu San was already a little annoyed, but with a smile on his face, he said: "What is this? We are poor and have many relatives. No matter how different the generations are, there is not much difference. There is a little baby who is from the grandfather's generation when he is born, even the one who is in charge of the house, he still has to call the baby grandpa."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had slipped his tongue. He slapped himself in a hurry, and apologized to He Ze with a smile: "If you're used to being poor, you won't be able to come out. Don't bother with me."

He Ze smiled nonchalantly, and rode his horse out of the way.

The old woman helped the sparrow back into the car again in a hurry, and walked all the way to Qiu Sanfu, then released Chen Nian from the dark compartment and led them into the inner courtyard.The one who was waiting in the room was a young man of thirteen or fourteen, he couldn't help but look at Chen Nian twice more, and then saluted Chen Nian, and said: "The villain is Chen Xiaobao, the third brother said please thank the girl for coming." Wait for him at home, and he will tell you about today's affairs in detail when he comes back."

Chen Nian nodded, but said to Xiao Bao: "I would like to ask you to find a way to send my two partners out of the city."

Lingque and Lu Rongfeng were both taken aback when they heard the words, and Lingque couldn't help but ask: "Master, why is this?"

Chen Nian didn't shy away from Xiao Bao, and said bluntly: "Looking at the situation just now, He Ze is clearly searching us, so it can be seen that the matter of coming to Qingzhou may have been leaked. It is very dangerous for you two to stay here, why not go back to the cottage first."

"What about you?" Sparrow asked again.

Chen Nian thought for a while, and said: "He Ze is also in Qingzhou, this matter is too weird, I have to stay here and take a look at the situation."

How can Ling Que rest assured that Chen Nian will stay in the dangerous situation alone, and only said after hearing the words: "We won't go either, we have to go together, we have to stay together."

"It's more convenient for me to stay here by myself, so you don't need to miss me." Chen Nian persuaded, her eyebrows were a little dignified, she paused for a while, and then said, "After returning to the village, just say that I went with you After coming out of Qingzhou, I met Lu Xiao on the way, so I followed him to Xuanzhou."

The father and daughter of Lingque were puzzled, and they both looked at Chennian.

Only Wen Daya, Chaoyangzi and Cui Xi knew about the three of them going to Jizhou, but the news leaked out so quickly, Chen Nian slowly closed his eyes, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "After returning to the village, go secretly to find Wen Daya and the Taoist priest, and tell them to guard against Cui Xi."

Ling Que and Lu Rongfeng were very shocked, Ling Que wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Rongfeng gave her a hand and said: "Just follow the orders of the master."

Chen Nian asked Xiao Bao to take Ling Que and Lu Rongfeng down to rest, while he sat quietly on the chair with his eyes slightly lowered, waiting for Qiu San to come back.It wasn't until midnight that Qiu San came in and said, "I was scared to death. I don't know why Xue Shengying suddenly searched all the inns, obviously looking for you. I was so scared that I had to ask someone to take you into the mansion first." .”

"I've caused you trouble again." Chen Nian smiled, and said frankly, "Actually, I'm also a little scared, afraid that I'll overestimate the friendship between the two of us and ask you to sell it to Xue Shengying."

Qiu San's face darkened, and he said righteously: "Look at what you said, am I the kind of ungrateful person?" Before he finished speaking, he laughed again, narrowing his eyes and saying, " Besides, even if I have such a heart, I don't have such a guts, if the prince finds out about it, he will have to peel my skin!"

When Chen Nian heard him mention Feng Junyang, he smiled faintly, and did not say anything to explain the relationship between the two, but only asked: "Shouldn't He Ze be in Wu'an? Why is he in Qingzhou?"

"It's not just him, General Zheng is back too." Qiu San sat down on the chair next to Chennian, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "It's even more strange that Xue Shengxian is here too. Now these people are all together In the city guard's mansion, for what purpose, I haven't found out yet."

"They're all in the city guard's mansion?" Chen Nian pondered, then looked up at Qiu Sandao after a while, "I have to go to the city guard's mansion."

"No!" Qiu San shouted immediately, "It's too dangerous! If you have anything to do, just tell me to do it, and there is absolutely no need to put yourself in danger."

At this moment, Chen Nian didn't dare to trust anyone anymore, he only smiled when he heard the words, and said: "You can't help me with this matter, I have to do it myself. Moreover, I didn't discuss this with you when I told you about it. It would be best if you can help, but if not, I can think of it myself."

Qiu Sandun felt his head was as big as a fight, and after thinking for a while, he said to Chen Nian with a bitter face: "Miss Xie, if I don't know about this, I will go if you go. But now I know, in case you There is something good or bad, the prince can really eat me raw."

Chen Nian guessed his thoughts, and said seriously: "But you don't know about this."

Qiu San looked at her for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He patted his thigh heavily, and said, "With your words, I will go all out! When are you going to enter the city to guard the mansion? I will arrange it!"

"When my two subordinates leave, the sooner the better." Chen Nian replied.

Qiu San nodded, and arranged for Lingque and Lu Rongfeng to leave the city the next day.

Two days later, Qiu San said to Chen Nian: "Xue Shengying will host a banquet for those people tonight. The personnel in the city guard's mansion will be more chaotic. You want to go in. This is the best time." Then he said again, "It stands to reason that it is most convenient for you to pretend to be a maid or something, but your appearance is too eye-catching, so it is a bit difficult."

Her figure is slim and charming, and her appearance is so gorgeous that people can't help but take a second look at it once they see her. It's not as good as those ordinary-looking ones, who can disappear when they hide in the crowd.

Chen Nian said with a smile: "There's no need to pretend, I'll just sneak in at night."

Qiu San still remembered that a long time ago, he had seen her ability to climb over the wall and enter the hospital, so he couldn't help but smiled, and said: "The city guard's mansion is different from Yang Gui's outer house, and the guards inside and outside the mansion are extremely strict now, if a mosquito It’s a bit of an exaggeration if you can’t even fly in, but it’s not easy to flip in.”

"You don't need to worry about this." Chen Nian was still a little sure about his lightness kung fu, after thinking about it, he asked again, "Did someone monitor your place in the past few days?"

Qiu San shook his head, with a look of complacency on his face: "They only know that General Zheng is the prince's man, but they don't know that I am the prince's confidant in Qingzhou. Right now, He Ze and the others are all focusing on General Zheng. No one pays attention to me here."

"Be more careful." Chen Nian pondered for a moment, and then said, "In this way, you go find a maid who is similar in shape to me, and you have the right to treat her as me, and secretly send her to the city guard's mansion, but don't give her a hand. Arrange any important matters, and get out as soon as you turn around."

Qiu San was puzzled, and asked Chen Nian, "What about you?"

Chen Nian refused to answer, but said: "Don't worry about me, I have my own plans."

Qiu San responded, turned around to discuss the matter with Xiao Bao, and wondered: "What is this aunt's plan?"

Xiaobao was learning the art of war these few days. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had an idea, took out the book from the bookshelf, opened a page, pointed it to Qiu San, and said excitedly: "Third brother, I guess thank you The girl is going to use this trick."

Qiu San looked intently, but didn't understand most of the characters, so he gave Xiaobao an annoyed look.Xiaobao hurriedly read to him: "Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark." Seeing that Qiu San was still puzzled, he smiled and said, "Third brother, I can't explain a sentence or a sentence, anyway, you can follow the instructions first." Do what the girl told you to do."

Fortunately, Qiu San was not a serious person, and when he heard Xiaobao say the same, he nodded and went out to arrange the matter.

In the city guard's mansion, Zheng Lun lived alone in a courtyard, and his confidant soldiers reported to him the situation in the city, saying: "He Ze personally led people to search all the inns in the city, and they just gave up this morning."

Because he was going to the banquet soon, Zheng Lun changed his battle robe and armor, and only wore a narrow-sleeved casual robe. While arranging the cuffs, he asked the soldier, "Do you know who you are looking for?"

"It seems to be looking for two young women." The soldier replied in a low voice, "We also have eyeliners watching outside our courtyard."

Zheng Lun paused when he heard the words, Xue Shengying suddenly called him back from the army, and He Ze searched the two young women inexplicably, there was too much weirdness in this matter, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "You secretly Go buy two young women, bring them back quietly, and see what the reaction is outside. If anyone asks, just say they are newly bought maids for me."

Since the water was too muddy for people to see, he made it even muddier.

The soldiers agreed and withdrew from the door.Zheng Lun stood in the room for a while, then took his cloak and went out to Xue Shengying's place for a banquet.

It had been a long time since the City Guard's Mansion was as lively as it is today. Lanterns hung high everywhere, and the hall was brightly lit.Xue Shengying sat in the main seat, on both sides were Xue Shengxian and He Ze, and further down were Zheng Lun and some generals in the third and other armies.

Zheng Lun was secretly wary, and he was very cautious in his words and deeds. Hearing that Xue Shengying said that the banquet was set up to celebrate defeating Zhang Huaimin, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, thinking that Zhang Huaimin's troops were still in Xinye. Still, this celebration banquet is too early.

Since it was a banquet, it was necessary to be accompanied by a singer, and the hall was very lively for a while.When the wine was half drunk, a man who looked like a soldier came to Xue Shengying's ear and whispered something.Zheng Lun was too far away, and the hall was too noisy, so he couldn't hear the content clearly, so Xue Shengying sat up straight when he heard the words, glanced at He Ze, got up and came back.

After a while, He Ze followed out calmly.Although Zheng Lun felt strange in his heart, he didn't get up to follow, but just sat there drinking silently.After about a stick of incense, Xue Shengying and He Ze returned to the table talking and laughing, but they were talking about how to divide the territory.

He Ze smiled and said, "I don't need to take Yongzhou, but you have to give it to me in Xiangzhou."

Xue Shengying smiled cheerfully, pointed at Zheng Lun and He Ze and said, "You have to ask General Zheng if he is willing to do this."

He Ze looked at Zheng Lun with his wine glass in his hand, and asked with a smile, "How is it? General Zheng?"

Zheng Lun smiled faintly: "I am a warrior, I only care about fighting, and I don't care about anything else. General He, you have been fooled by my lord. He is clearly unwilling, and it is not easy to refute your face, so he pushed it on me. "

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, even Xue Shengying pointed Zheng Lun with her finger, and said helplessly: "This Zheng Lun is here to expose me again."

The banquet was still lively until midnight, Zheng Lun was drunk a lot by He Ze and others, and fell drunk on the table, the soldiers around him wanted to help him back to his yard, but Xue Shengying stopped him, saying: " You don’t need to go back, just find a room and lie down.”

After finishing speaking, several servants stepped forward, snatched Zheng Lun from the soldier without any explanation, and carried him into a nearby courtyard.Although Zheng Lun was a little dizzy, he vaguely sensed that the matter was weird, and he didn't struggle. He just pretended to be unconscious and let them carry him into a room.The servant took off his boots and outer robe, then put him down on the bed, took off the bed curtain, and took the door behind him to go out.

Zheng Lun listened intently to the movement outside, and heard the footsteps outside the house far away, then sat up quietly, and was about to get out of bed to take a look at the situation, but suddenly there were arms wrapped around behind him.He was startled, and without thinking about it, he hit his elbow back, turned around, pressed the man's neck with his arms, and pressed him on the bed.

The man was suddenly hit hard, and let out a low exclamation.Hearing this voice, Zheng Lun was startled to realize that it was a woman pressing down on him, and everything he touched was soft and greasy.Unconsciously, he raised his body slightly, and looked at the person under him in the dim light. When he saw the person's face clearly, his body trembled, and he hurriedly released the restraint on his arms.

The woman's body was soft and weak, and her breathing was a little short. It was obvious that she had been given aphrodisiacs. Now that her body was free, her arms immediately wrapped around Zheng Lun's neck, and her lips followed suit.Zheng Lun only felt a bang in his head, as if it exploded suddenly, but his already hot body froze instantly.

It was like a dream, like a dream he had had a long time ago.The woman who shouldn't have appeared in his dream appeared in his dream and entangled him under his body.He was flustered, at a loss, guilty, and self-blame, but also inexplicably excited and fanatical.

Zheng Lun's hands trembled slightly, he supported the writhing waist of the woman under him, closed his eyes, and bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, trying to use that bit of pain to escape from the dream at this moment.

At this moment, the hanging bed curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside, and in the darkness, someone stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Lun's vest at the key point, pulled him off the bed, and smoothly grabbed the man in the other hand. Throwing it on the bed, he flew out with Zheng Lun in his hands, climbed up to the eaves, and jumped up to the side roof as silently as a ghost.

Zheng Lun's back touched the cold roof tiles, and his mind became clearer. When he looked closely at the people around him, he was suddenly stunned.

Chen Nian was afraid of being discovered by others, so he lay down on the roof, looked sideways at Zheng Lun, and seeing that he did not look drunk, he couldn't help but make fun of him in a low voice: "I'm really sorry for disturbing you. It’s a good thing. I watched you drunk, and I was afraid that there was some trap in it, so I took you out of Wenrouxiang. If I knew you were not drunk, I would not bother with this nosy business. "

Zheng Lun withdrew his gaze and silently looked at the night sky. It took him a while to suppress the heat in his heart, but he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

Chen Nian smiled and said: "You don't have to thank me, you let me go once before, this time I will return the favor to you, and we will owe nothing."

Zheng Lun was a little surprised that she was so frank, so he turned to look at her unconsciously.She was poking her head out to look at the situation on the other side of the roof, but she only showed him a side face, so that he could look at it unscrupulously.

Looking carefully at this moment, she is not very similar to the woman on the bed, her eyebrows are darker and slender, her eyes are brighter, her nose seems to be more upturned, even her lips are more delicate and moist, her chin is small and delicate, The perfect arc extends downwards, crosses the white and slender neck, and stretches all the way to the full chest... Zheng Lun suddenly felt his heart throbbing, and the fire of desire that had just been suppressed suddenly burned again, burning him With a swollen pain in his lower abdomen, he couldn't help but let out a low muffled grunt.

Chen Nian heard the sound and looked at him strangely, but saw him curled up to the other side, as if in great pain.She looked worriedly at the courtyard below, and seeing that there were guards at the courtyard gate in the distance, no one came in, so she leaned over and asked Zheng Lun, "What's wrong with you?"

Zheng Lun already understood that there must be something aphrodisiac in the wine he drank, but the onset was delayed because of his deep internal energy.Right now, the soft jade Wenxiang is behind him, as long as he turns around, he can hug him full, just like in that dream, wanton indulgence... He bit his lower lip hard, not even daring to turn his head, only tremblingly said : "Give me the knife."

Seeing how weird he was, Chen Nian frowned. She was wearing black night clothes, and for the sake of convenience, she did not carry a sword, so she took out a dagger from her boot and handed it over.

Zheng Lun snatched the dagger with his backhand, and without a moment's hesitation, he stabbed it directly into his thigh.Chen Nian's face turned pale with shock, he thought that Zheng Lun was delirious and went crazy, so he quickly reached out to seal his acupoints.Zheng Lun raised his arm sideways to block her, but said coldly in a low voice: "Stay away from me!"

Chen Nian was taken aback, Zheng Lun took the opportunity to slide three or four feet to the side, the severe pain in his leg temporarily suppressed the desire in his heart, he glanced at Chen Nian, quickly looked away, lowered his eyes and said: " I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Just after saying this, someone seemed to be coming from the courtyard. Chen Nian was so busy that he didn't dare to make another sound, so he poked his head out to see the situation in the courtyard, and saw a person walking lightly to the corridor, listening to the sound inside the house. When there was no movement, he turned around and walked out.There was another person waiting in the courtyard, who asked aloud, "How?"

The previous man laughed twice, and said, "Both of you have taken the medicine, so what can we do? The room is raging! Come on, the general is still waiting for an answer."

The two left after speaking, Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of those words, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Zheng Lun who was beside him.Her ignorant gaze made Zheng Lun feel both embarrassed and embarrassed, but at the same time felt ashamed and angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to close his eyes slightly, pretending not to know.

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, then said, "You..."

"I'm fine!" Zheng Lun hurriedly answered, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that the voice was extremely hoarse and low, with hints of trembling.He himself was startled, he held the handle of the dagger, and pressed three points inward, trying to use the pain to resist the endless desire surging in his heart again.

Chen Nian saw his movements clearly, fell silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You go first."

Zheng Lun couldn't help turning his head to look at her. Under the moonlight, her cheeks seemed to be red, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. He had to fight against the heat and concentrate on listening to hear her words clearly. , "... There is a water tank over there, you can go soak for a while."

After Chen Nian finished speaking, he also felt embarrassed, so he dived aside, getting further away from Zheng Lun.

Zheng Lun breathed a sigh of relief, but there was an inexplicable emptiness and loss in his heart.But this thought passed away as soon as he changed his mind. He is a martial arts prodigy with a very firm will. Although he is suffering from aphrodisiac drugs at this moment, he is still concentrating on regulating his breath, trying to suppress the lust.

After a while, the lust finally subsided a little, to divert his attention, he asked Chen Nian in a low voice: "Who did you put in the room just now?"

Chen Nian was silent for a while, then turned to look at him, and replied, "He Ze."

Zheng Lun was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't help laughing, he forgot even the devil in his heart, and asked, "Why do you want to catch him?"

Chen Nian said: "I saw him and Xue Shengying mumbling together, saying that they gave medicine to the woman, and then I saw you being carried here, so I guessed that they might frame you , I simply took advantage of He Ze's order, put him down and brought him over."

Zheng Lun was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

He had already thanked Chen Nian before, but now he thanked her so solemnly, Chen Nian couldn't help but smile, and wanted to speak, but suddenly lowered his body and said in a low voice: "Come on Already!"

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps, and about a dozen people walked quickly from a distance and went straight into the courtyard, and the leader was Xue Shengying.Xue Shengying was afraid of Zheng Lun's martial arts, so he didn't dare to come forward very much, he just stood in the courtyard and laughed loudly: "General Zheng, it's time to come out after enjoying the beauties."

But there was no movement in the room, Chen Nian couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, then turned his head and whispered to Zheng Lun who came over, "I can't get out, He Ze has been drugged by me, and he won't be able to move for twelve hours , even if the beauty comes out by herself, he won't be able to."

Zheng Lun looked strange, looked at Chen Nian, but said: "I'll leave first, you should be careful."

Chen Nian nodded, only paying attention to the situation in the courtyard.

Zheng Lun paused for a moment, then instructed in a low voice: "No matter what happens below, no matter what Xue Shengying says, don't go down, I'll be back in a while."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed the dagger in his hand to Chen Nian, and quietly got off the roof from the other side, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
