"This is a good thing!" Xiaomei looked at Zuo Zhou excitedly, "If Prince Consort Xiao is still alive, then you don't have to fight Liu Jin!"
Um?
Zhan Shiqi and Young Master Dongfang looked at Zuo Zhou in surprise. Did they hear correctly? This boy is going to fight Liu Jin to the death?
For a moment, Zhan Shiqi began to worry about the journey ahead. This Mr. Li seemed unreliable!
Mr. Dongfang was deeply moved. He was worthy of being a soldier of our Jiannan Army. Even though he was out of danger, he chose to come back to clear up the grievances of the entire Jiannan Army. He was even ready to fight Liu Jin desperately. This...
...How is this different from what I did before? Well, what a boy!
Zuo Zhou was not so optimistic. He rubbed his chin and began to think about it based on the information he got from Mr. Dongfang. "Although our Lord Jiedushi is a bit reckless, he is not really stupid. He should have known when he was ambushed.
He must die, so he will definitely want to leave evidence that can prove his innocence. Considering Liu Jin's urgency in the search, I have reason to suspect that this evidence is probably in the hands of Prince Consort Xiao."
Mr. Dongfang nodded in agreement. He actually thought of it, but Liu Jin checked too strictly. He also used secret codes to contact Xiao Prince Consort, but unfortunately he was not successful. All attempts to contact him were not responded to. It took a long time.
, he also had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Zuo Zhou looked at the silent Master Dongfang, frowned slightly but looked at Zhan Shiqi, "Miss Zhan, how many people are here this time?"
"Master Di asked Master Bao to borrow troops, but although Master Bao had many powerful soldiers, all of them had names and surnames that could easily be discovered by Wei Jinzhong, so a total of seventeen of our sisters came over. This time the mission was led by the female head catcher Zhan Hong
Ling took the lead. In order to find Mr. Li as quickly as possible, all of us dispersed to various parts of Jiannan Road. But... I didn’t expect that I would find Mr. Li just after entering the county."
Zhan Shiqi's eyes were a little suspicious. In her opinion, Li Yuanfang should have been in Jiannan Road for a long time. So even if she happened to be lucky, she should have explained that the entire plan to ambush Liu Jin was planned by Mr. Dongfang and Li Yuanfang.
. But when I heard this, it seemed like the two of them had just met, which was a bit unreasonable.
Zuo Zhou had no intention of explaining. He also knew that he was at fault for delaying this matter. "Is there any way to contact Zhan Hongling and others?"
"Yes, Thousand Miles of Fire."
"Where's the fire?"
"I used it to beat Liu Jin."
"..." I knew it!
Zuo Zhou sighed. It seems that using flares to fight bosses was not invented in movies and TV shows.
After thinking for a while, he waved and said: "Everyone is tired today. You two can get into the carriage and go to sleep. Recharge yourself. Tomorrow will be very busy."
"Since Mr. Li has a plan, I just obey your orders." Zhan Shiqi, with a cold face, like a porcelain doll without emotions, stood up and entered the carriage.
Xiaomei also stood up and shouted: "Wait for me, let's sleep together." She turned around and stuck out her tongue to Zuo Zhou, "I won't sleep with you today."
Zuo Zhou ignored the clever little tongue and turned to look at Mr. Ximen.
"What's that look in your eyes? If you have something to say, just say it."
"I understand the whole story, but it still doesn't explain why you went to ambush Liu Jin. Also... you have never used double hooks before, which means you have been hiding. Haha, I didn't expect that Uncle Ximen has two faces!"
"..."
Mr. Ximen pursed his lips and looked up at the sky awkwardly, "Actually, I just thought that double hooks are not as useful as long halberds on the battlefield, so that's why I did this."
"Oh, can you turn your head to look at me and talk?"
Mr. Ximen looked at Zuo Zhou seriously, "Speaking of which, the reason why I ambushed and killed Liu Jin was to create opportunities for Prince Consort Xiao!"
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Zuo Zhou didn't pay attention to the other party's obvious change of topic.
"I had never contacted Prince Consort Xiao before. Just when I was a little desperate, I found a mark in Guanling County. The mark was very new and represented Xiao Prince Consort's identity. Only then did I confirm that Xiao Prince Consort was still alive.
Alive." Mr. Ximen said a little excitedly, and seemed to have indescribable confidence in Prince Consort Xiao.
Zuo Zhou asked hurriedly: "What then?"
"Then I kept lurking around, but unfortunately there was no news again. After that, I was wondering why this happened. Was there something wrong with Prince Consort Xiao, or was Prince Consort Xiao afraid of being exposed and didn't dare to take any more risks?
.So, I decided to create an opportunity for Prince Consort Xiao to escape from Jiannan Road."
Speaking of this, Young Master Ximen thought of the traitor Dong Tianbao again, and said bitterly: "Xiao Prince Consort has important evidence in his hands, so he will definitely find a way to leave Jiannan Road. If he hasn't left now, he must be blocked and unable to do anything.
Let’s go. I’m thinking of ambushing Liu Jin. If I can kill him, that would be great. If I can’t kill him, I can also attract troops and give Xiao Prince Consort an opportunity. Who knows..."
Zuo Zhou's eyes flickered. This was obviously an important clue. There was actually no problem with Mr. Ximen's logic, but it could only be said to be one of the possibilities, and this possibility was not high.
To be honest, with Xiao Prince Consort's intelligence, he should know everyone in the army very well. Just with a mark, he can make Master Ximen think of the cooperation of "making a sound in the east and attacking in the west". What are the chances of this?
It’s not that I look down on Mr. Ximen, it’s just a tiny bit!
Even if Prince Consort Xiao was seriously ill and sought medical treatment, he should not do such a thing, so that was definitely not what the mark meant.
"You said that mark is in Guanling County?"
"Yes, it's on the outer wall of the house where I ambushed before, but don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this."
Zuo Zhou suddenly realized that it seemed that Mr. Ximen chose this place to ambush Liu Jin not only to create opportunities for Xiao Prince Consort, but also that he must have thought that he might be wrong. So he wanted to create an illusion of darkness under the lamp to make Liu Jin
He believed that they were the only ones hiding in Guanling County, not Xiao Prince Consort. In this way, no matter whether they were dead or alive in the end, Liu Jin would not use force against Guanling County, and he could be regarded as protecting Xiao Prince Consort.
Zuo Zhou patted Mr. Ximen on the shoulder with emotion, "Tomorrow, we will go home first and wait until Jun Bao's injury improves before looking for Prince Consort Xiao."
"Go home? You mean... your father's place? Will going back at this time affect him?"
Zuo Zhou looked at him strangely, "What are you talking about? It was Li Yuanfang who rescued you. What does it have to do with old man Zuo?"
"..."(;￢＿￢)
The night was getting quieter and quieter. While the fire was swaying, both Zuo Zhou and Mr. Ximen had begun to close their eyes and rest.
The only sound came from the familiar Xiaomei in the carriage, "Oh, you have seventeen sisters here, and your name is Zhan Shiqi, so is your eldest sister's name Zhan Yi?"
