Xianyang Bridge

The long team of carriages pointed and pointed, and they were all very envious of the richness and ostentation.

Gu Xichao and Lu Li went through the plan again within an inch of the cloud, and the sand table was densely packed with bamboo sticks. Lu Li took his own stick and the leader's stick and patted on his hands, saying to him, "There should be no omissions. Human resources are exhausted, and the rest depends on destiny."

Gu Xichao nodded, the two came out from the waterside pavilion, the leader was waiting for them by the lake, three glasses of wine were placed on the stone table in the pavilion, the old leader said to Gu Xichao, "Have a good trip, be careful."

Lu Li put a glass of wine in Gu Xichao's hand, and said to him, "The migraine has been moved to a reliable place, I never thought it would take so long to bloom."

Gu Xichao said, "It's not important anymore, the big thing is the most important thing. I wish the leader and the left envoy a successful battle and get back safely. I'll be waiting for you in Jincheng."

……

Qi Shaoshang met Tie Shou outside Xinzheng Gate, looked at the carriages that had been leaving the city in all directions since the morning, and asked, "Which one is him in?"

The two sat at the roadside tea stand, pressed the bamboo hat on his head with iron hands, and said, "Neither, his carriage does not have the Qingyuan mark."

They pretended to be merchants selling silk and tea, and the pretended shop assistants in the nearby warehouse were slowly loading cars. Qi Shaoshang asked in a low voice, "Will Tong Guan be fooled?"

Putting the thick porcelain tea bowl to his lips with an iron hand, he said, "He has to go, the golden envoy is coming soon, who knows how much it will cost in the three cities of Shuozhou, His Majesty will definitely not pay the money, he just has to keep an eye on the money." Dead Ming Cult."

"Ti Qi will definitely come out in full force, you must remember not to reveal your identity, otherwise I will not be able to speak."

Qi Shaoshang nodded, "Okay."

After noon, there were a lot fewer people entering and leaving the city gate, and the two ate some dry food with residual tea. The weather was getting hotter in summer, and the tea stall owner served them another pot of tea, and dozed off in the shed.

It was convenient for Qi Shaoshang to go to the hut of the warehouse. When he came back, Tie Shou looked in the direction of the city gate and said, "They are here."

"So fast." Qi Shaoshang pushed down the brim of his hat again. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shibazun running southward with dozens of spies. The dust kicked up by the horseshoes rolled past like a yellow dragon. Qi Shaoshang Clutching the teacup, he said, "How many days do we need to delay them?"

Iron Hand said, "Seven days, seven days later, after passing Funiu Mountain, even if Tiqi knows Mingjiao's plan, he will not be able to rush back to the capital no matter what."

Qi Shaoshang looked at the direction where the smoke and dust disappeared, and said, "Are you doing this to help Mingjiao?"

Tie Shudao, "There are Liuhetang and our people in every ambush point. Mingjiao's assassination will not be successful. The reason to lure Tiqi out is to avoid complications."

"What if they don't go with us?" Qi Shaoshang asked.

Tetsudo, "They are determined to win this time. Even if they don't find us at the beginning, they will catch up sooner or later when all other places fail."

Qi Shaoshang took a sip of the tea and felt that the taste was not right. He looked down and saw that a layer of floating soil had fallen on it, tilted his head and spat it on the side of the road, and spilled the tea, "So in the end, if Ti Qigou jumps over the wall in a hurry, he must find the money , we are likely to have a hard fight?"

Iron Hand said, "If we wait long enough, when the news from the capital comes, they will know that they have been fooled, and they will naturally withdraw."

"Understood." Qi Shaoshang called the shopkeeper to serve him a new bowl of tea. The two sat in the corner of the tea stall and counted the Tiqi who left the city. They didn't see anyone until the evening. Tie Shun said, "Only those who go out of Xinzhengmen There are only six waves, and the other directions should be similar, the number of people is twice as large as expected, it seems that Tong Guan usually hides his strength."

"No wonder you want to lure Tiqi out first. Keeping them in the capital is afraid that no matter how perfect the plan is, it will be difficult to succeed."

Iron Hand nodded, "So we must not expose it in advance."

As he said, he looked towards the city gate and said, "He's here."

Qi Shaoshang looked towards the city gate, thinking he was blinded, he pushed up the eaves of the bamboo hat and looked again, muttering, "Why is it this silly boy."

Caught in the traffic flow of people entering and leaving the city gate in the evening, a very ordinary blue-curtained cart was pulled by an unremarkable skinny horse. Lei Yun, who was dressed in dust, was sitting in the driver's seat and driving the cart, with the corners of his mouth curled downwards. , looking unhappy.

Holding Qi Shaoshang down with an iron hand, "I can't go."

Qi Shaoshang said, "Then how do I know if it's him in the car?"

Tie Shou nodded to the few disciples who were resting in the warehouse pretending to be clerks, and said to Qi Shaoshang, "Then I can only hope that he didn't lie to me."

21

This deceit seemed to hurt him, Qi Shaoshang watched Lei Yun reluctantly flicked his whip, drove the car past the official road, and said to Tieshou, "I always feel uneasy."

The iron hand tightly wrapped his head, put a straw hat on his head, stood up and said, "Wuqing has already checked the list he gave, and it's a good one. Those who sneaked into the capital of Mingjiao are under the control of the six doors. He has already turned to Mingjiao, there is no need for him to do so, since he is still on our side, I can't think of a reason for him to lie to me."

Qi Shaoshang closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I won't go with you, you continue to go to Fenglingdu as planned, and I'll go look in other directions."

As he spoke, he went to untie the horse tied behind the tea shed, and said with iron hands behind him, "Is that why you don't believe him?"

Qi Shaoshang shook his head, "Go your way, don't worry about me."

He got on his horse and followed Tiqi's direction, Tie Shou stopped for a while, and said to the disciples beside him, "Go tell senior brother that Qi Shaoshang suspects that Gu Xichao's plan is fraudulent, and ask him how to deal with it."

Then he said to the rest of the people, "Let's go."

Qi Shaoshang chased the trace left by Tiqi and ran out for more than 100 miles. It was dark and the horse was tired. He led the horse to a stream to wash his face, ate a piece of mustache in the stream water, and After feeding the horse some beans, he rested for a while and was about to go on the road, when suddenly a firework exploded in the south sky, Qi Shaoshang stared at it for a while, got on his horse and galloped towards the firework.

When he left, Tie Shou asked him if he didn't believe in Gu Xichao, Qi Shaoshang said in his heart, it's not that I don't believe in him, I just know this person too well, as long as he decides to do something, no matter what the price is, as long as he can achieve his goal He doesn't really care about other people's lives or his own.

The closer he got to the place where Tiqi summoned the messenger, Qi Shaoshang suddenly understood in his heart that he said that night in Jinmingchi that he didn't really want to live after Wan Qing died. Not that he wants to live.

If there is anything in this world that he wants to do but needs to take risks to do it, he will not hesitate to use himself as bait.

Among the carriages that went out of the city today, every one of them could be him, or it might not be him. The only thing Qi Shaoshang can be sure of is that it must not be in Lei Yun's carriage. He is inexplicably confident that Gu Xichao won't To hurt him and those around him again, he deceived the iron hand.

Although he didn't know what his purpose was, he ruled out at least one direction and only needed to find another eleven cars.

The smell of blood filled the air. Qi Shaoshang looked at the whining horses in front of him. Both horses had their front legs broken by the bridle rope. half of.

The people in the car were piled up with other murdered corpses, and the top corpse still had a long knife used for torture stuck in it.

The handling of the scene was sloppy, it seemed that they were also in a hurry, Qi Shaoshang's boots were stained with blood, and he was caught by the foot when he walked past the corpse, he was taken aback, the young man who grabbed him was already in a daze , regarded him as a rider, and exhausted his last strength, just to trip him for a moment and buy some time for other companions on the road.

Qi Shaoshang squatted down and heard his weak voice say, "Pity me... the world, there are so many worries..."

This is a very young face, with delicate eyebrows that can be vaguely seen under the moonlight, Qi Shaoshang probed the side of his neck, he was already out of breath, he wiped the blood on his face, and closed his eyes .

Not long after he left, Gou Feng brought Guo Jing and a dozen spies to the side of the blocked carriage, and the two of them noticed something strange when they arrived, "Someone has been here."

Gou Feng waved his hand to stop the spies from following up, got off his horse and took a torch from Guo Jing's hand. Under the light of the torch, he followed the trailing footprints to the edge of the corpse pile. Photographs were taken on the body and the grazed youthful face was found.

Then he stood up and returned the torch to Guo Jing, saying, "Dare to meddle in our affairs at this time, and with such a compassionate heart, there will be no one else except Jiuxian Shenlong."

"Then let's..." Guo Jing asked with some hesitation. He hated Qi Shaoshang for not giving him any face when he was in Ruyin County, and he was afraid that he really had that ability. He wanted to use him to intervene in this operation to trick him. Gou Feng said, "Don't disturb him, since he followed us, it means he doesn't know Gu Xichao's whereabouts, so let him lead the way and help us find it, to see if the good friends have a good heart."

Guo Jing didn't understand what he meant, and Gou Feng said again, "I just received the news that after Gu Xichao left the capital, Tie Shou also left the Shenhou Mansion. The prince thinks that Zhuge Zheng and I want to hide Cai Jing behind my back and close the net in advance to get it. For that sum of money, let us disclose the news to Cai Jing."

He looked at Guo Jing, "I heard that you have been doing well in the capital recently and have a lot of contacts. I will leave this matter to you."

"Remember, don't bring the prince with us, it's better to let Cai Jing and Zhuge Zheng me fight."

When Guo Jing heard his words that seemed to be a compliment or a warning, a layer of sweat broke out on his back, and he quickly agreed, "Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter beautifully."

After he left, Gou Feng pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a disdainful expression, and said to the spies beside him, "My lord let us
