There was a palm-sized bruise on her waist, because her skin was too fair, it looked scary, but it didn't hurt that much.

After Feng Shuo frightened her, he went out of the room and asked an old nun to come in and apply medicine to her.

Jiang Yanyi was lying on the mattress, and the old mother massaged and massaged her with medicated oil on her hands. She turned her face to look at the bookcase opposite. Unknowingly, she knew what books were in his bookcase. .

After being together for a long time, it seems that a tacit understanding will be formed invisibly, and she can know what he is thinking when he looks at him.She can probably guess some of what he didn't say.

After Feng Shuo had finished interrogating the coachman, he didn't say much when she asked her about it. Obviously, the emperor didn't arrange the frightened horse.

The only people she offended in Xizhou were the shopkeeper Xu of the Hu family and Laifu Restaurant.

The Hu family has completely collapsed. The shopkeeper of Laifu Restaurant is a businessman, and he has disagreements with her in business, but he will not do such a thing that seeks money and kills him.

When Ruyi Building was opened, there was trouble, she sent someone to follow, and learned that it was someone under the Marquis of Xing'an, but it was the Lord of the County of Xing'an who rescued the siege, and the Lord of the County of Xing'an had also visited many times later. Ruyilou is very friendly to her and the two sisters Chu Shubao, and seems to be unaware of the identities of the troublemakers.

The disturbance may have been the result of Marquis Xing'an wanting to vent his anger on his daughter.

Thinking about it this way, the startling horse today would not have been written by the Marquis of Xing'an. After all, even if she died, Feng Shuo had already recognized the county magistrate of the Marquis of Xing'an as his righteous sister, so it was impossible for him to marry her. Get a "show".

Jiang Yanyi thought about all the people who might have a problem with her, but she really couldn't think of who was going to put her to death.

After the old mammy gave her the medicine, she stepped out lightly, and she got up and put on her clothes before walking out of the room.

outside the hospital.

Xing Yao went to Pipa Lane in person and informed Feng Shuo of the situation there: "A fire broke out in a family's house next to the house where the remnants of the previous dynasty were imprisoned, and someone used the fire to burn a lot of "fans". The smoke "fascinated" the guards in the house, and only then did they rescue him."

At that time, the fire spread, and the whole alley was full of people fleeing for their lives and fighting the fire, and it was in chaos.

Feng Shuo stood under a cedar tree with his hands behind his back, looking at the falling snow on the pine needles, he wondered what he was thinking: "Have you found the source of the 'misty' smoke?"

Xing Yao shook his head.

Feng Shuo seemed to have expected it long ago, and there was no anger on his face.

Xing Yao continued: "Except for the inn where the Marquis of Xing'an stayed, my subordinates have searched the whole city with people, but they haven't found anyone."

Marquis Xing'an is an old fox, he looks friendly, but he is the best at putting on airs, checking the inn where he stayed, it is clear that he no longer trusts this ally, Xing Yao dare not make a claim.

He remembered meeting the woman and the man, and said: "But before my subordinates went out, they found a woman and a boy sneaking around outside the Duhu Mansion. The woman is an itinerant doctor, and the boy has a mischievous face, so she can't produce the household registration documents, but she has the token of the Marquis of Xing'an on her, and the subordinates dare not detain it without authorization."

He paused, and asked: "Would you like to take someone to the Lucky Inn?"

Feng Shuo answered the wrong question: "Song Zheng, the general under the Marquis of Xing'an, sent his daughter to Lubo, how is it now?"

Marquis Xing'an didn't marry his daughter to Feng Shuo because he was worried about this alliance.

There are two generals under Feng Shuo's command, one is Han Tuo Han Lubo, Lubo is his nickname; the other is An Yongyuan.

Although these two people are dragons and phoenixes, they already have regular wives at home, and the Marquis of Xing'an was reluctant to let his daughter be a concubine, so he asked one of his subordinates, Song Zheng, to send his daughter to marry them.

An Yongyuan's ferocity in the army was second only to Feng Shuo's, and his face was disfigured. Naturally, Song Zheng was reluctant to let his daughter suffer, so he chose to marry the Han family.

Han Lubo killed people on the battlefield without blinking an eye, but he was born with a good-looking talent and a glib voice. He was a veteran in the field of romance, and there were few girls who could not be coaxed by him.

Xing Yao said: "It is said that she is already one month pregnant."

Marrying a concubine is not like marrying a wife. When Han Tuo married the daughter of the Song family, he picked an auspicious day, and he was carried in a small sedan chair without any guests.

Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard that he was pregnant: "That kid moves fast, let him hold Song Zheng steady."

Marquis Xing'an wanted to trap Han Tuo through his in-law relationship, but Feng Shuo took a fancy to Song Zheng, a fierce general under his command.

Xing Yao has been with Feng Shuo for many years, so he could more or less guess what he was thinking, and instantly understood why Feng Shuo didn't let him go directly to investigate Xing'an Hou, but asked Song Zheng about it, and said in surprise: "The master wants to use Song Zheng Replace the Marquis of Xing'an?"

"He's looking for his own death, and this king will just fulfill him."

Feng Shuo's tone was not cold, but Xing Yao only felt chills running down his back.

He always thought that it was Feng Shuo who was restrained by the Marquis of Xing'an, but now it seems that it was just a ceremony before the soldiers.

The Marquis of Xing'an had [-] military power in his hands, and Song Zheng was the most important to him, and he had [-] military power alone.

When Lu Linyuan was sent to Yuzhou to lobby the Marquis of Xing'an, Feng Shuo had already made a plan to let the people under the Marquis of Xing'an take the position of Marquis of Xing'an if the lobbying failed.

If he directly took over the [-] army of the Marquis of Xing'an, perhaps the old troops of the Marquis of Xing'an would harbor resentment and let people under Marquis of Xing'an's command take over, which would save a lot of trouble.

Feng Shuo's words have covered this point, and Xing Yao also knows what to do next. Most of the remnants of the previous dynasty hid in the Auspicious Inn, and the Marquis of Xing'an died in the inn. A poisonous hand against the remnants.

Manipulation has never had anything to do with being aboveboard.

Winner and loser, whoever wins will be the party that will be praised in the annals of later generations.

He clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate will go to deploy."

Feng Shuo nodded, and said, "Let Lu Linyuan come and see me."

Although Xing Yao didn't know Feng Shuo's intention, he still took orders to retreat.

Before he left, he saw the servants of the Fengfu hanging lanterns under the eaves on a wooden ladder, a bright red ball in the snow, which was very festive.

Counting the days, it is only a few days away from the Chinese New Year, but some people are destined not to be able to celebrate this New Year.

After Xing Yao left, Feng Shuo looked towards the porch covered by asparagus bushes, "Come out, how long are you going to hide?"

Jiang Yanyi moved out slowly, and said with some embarrassment: "You knew I was there?"

After applying the medicine, she went out to find Feng Shuo, saw him staring at a cedar tree in the outer courtyard, and wanted to go over there to scare him, but Xing Yao came over as soon as she got here.

She wanted to avoid hearing them talking about political affairs, but Feng Shuo had his back to her, while Xing Yao was facing her. As soon as she walked back, Xing Yao would have spotted her, so he could only stare at her. Hidden behind asparagus bushes.

Feng Shuo said, "I can smell it."

"Smell?" Jiang Yanyi quickly smelled himself.

Although it's very cold and it's inconvenient to boil water in a big pot, she still takes a bath very frequently, so she doesn't smell like her body, right?

After sniffing, she found Feng Shuo's mouth tensed into a smile, and realized that she had been fooled. She was so angry that she punched him with her fist: "You lied to me!"

Feng Shuo easily grabbed her fist, leaned over and sniffed at her temple: "I'm not lying to you, it really smells, but it's fragrant."

Jiang Yanyi finally realized that he was being molested and blushed.

She changed the subject: "Jiang Yanxi was rescued by the Marquis of Xing'an?"

No wonder his face was ugly before.

Feng Shuo saw her tricks, knew that she was thin-skinned and didn't expose it, "It's the remnants of the previous dynasty, and Marquis Xing'an is also inseparable from this matter."

Jiang Yanyi was also shocked when she heard that the remnants of the previous dynasty had infiltrated into Xizhou and joined forces with the Marquis of Xing'an. She keenly grasped one point: "Marquis of Xing'an is slick, and he is still in Xizhou now." What benefits do you get from the state borders to dare to take such a risk?"

Feng Shuo didn't think through this point, the former government and the old department were just a bunch of mobs, what conditions could they offer to make Xing'an Hou feel tempted?

"After the net is collected, it will be interrogated." He looked down at Jiang Yanyi and said, "All this will end soon."

Jiang Yanyi's heart seemed to be touched lightly by some soft tentacles, which was what she said earlier.

With mixed feelings, Fuxi, the steward of Feng's mansion, came from the Chuihua Gate, greeted her and Feng Shuo, and then said to her: "Miss Chu, there is a girl named Huo outside the door who came to you and said yes. Your maid."

As soon as Jiang Yanyi heard the surname Huo, she guessed it was Huo Jianjia, and she asked, "Do you have a red birthmark on your face?"

Fu Xi nodded yes.

Jiang Yanyi said: "It's my maid."

She borrowed the flower hall of Fengfu to meet Huo Jianjia. Huo Jianjia was in a mess, with a lot of blood on his hands and face.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yanyi was also taken aback when she saw her, thinking she was injured, so she hurriedly told the boy at the door: "Go and call the doctor."

Huo Jianjia wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately: "Boss, I am not injured, this blood is not mine."

Jiang Yanyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on?"

Huo Jianjia lowered her head, and said with guilt: "I heard that my master was almost hit by a carriage. It was I who harmed my master. I didn't clean up the tail, so my master was also targeted."

Jiang Yanyi was confused: "What do you mean?"

Huo Jianjia took out the sheepskin scroll from his arms: "My father took a trip, and the goods he wanted to deliver were this sheepskin scroll. We were chased all the way, and finally my father The people who received the goods and the recipients are dead, and I couldn’t find someone to deliver, so I kept taking this scroll with me.”

"Today, someone came to the noodle shop to grab this scroll, and I didn't know that the owner was also in danger."

Judging from Jiang Yanyi's experience in reading novels for many years, as long as there are any scrolls, they are probably related to treasures.

If the people who went to snatch the scroll were the same group as the one who ran into her with a carriage today and kidnapped Jiang Yanxi, then she would probably know why Marquis Xing'an went into the water.

It's just that it's still not sure whether the thing in Huo Jianjia's hand is a treasure map.

Jiang Yanyi asked: "Jian Jia, have you opened this scroll?"

"It's been opened." Huo Jianjia took the scroll apart without any hassle, and there was a piece of yellowed sheepskin with nothing on it.

Jiang Yanyi was stunned when he saw it: "Is this sheepskin blank?"

Huo Jianjia nodded: "I have flooded it with water and baked it with fire, but the top has always been blank."

Huo Jianjia traveled all over the world with her father, and naturally heard that some handwriting needs to be soaked in water or baked with fire to be seen. After her father died, she wanted to find out what was hidden in the sheepskin scroll, so she tried it. Various methods have been tried, but unfortunately they have not been successful.

When the fire was baked, a piece of the sheepskin roll was burnt.

Jiang Yanyi's thoughts were confused for a while, could it be that the sheepskin scroll in Huo Jianjia's hand was just a cover?

She thought that if the person who snatched the scroll was still alive, she might be able to ask something, so she asked, "Is the person who killed the noodle shop alive today?"

Huo Jianjia patted his chest and said: "My master, don't worry, my knife is very accurate! One knife cuts one head, there is no one alive, they are all dead!"

Jiang Yanyi: "..."

Seeing the little girl's proud expression, she didn't know what to say.
