(New January, one thousand monthly tickets plus one more chapter, let’s go brothers!)
When the carriage started to move slowly, Liu Qiong'er covered her raised chest. Seeing Xu Huai staring at her chest, she glanced at him and asked, "How about it? Can my words shock them?"
?”
"They sent people to sneak into Hutou Village. If Zheng Hui did not directly target Yuhuangling's deployment, how are you going to step down?" Xu Huaihuai turned around and lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage and asked.
"On the way back to Yuhuangling, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that Zheng Hui's plan was most likely targeting the entire Xu family. Xu Wufu was just a clown played by Zheng Hui," Liu Qiong'er said proudly.
, "We didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening over at Hutou Village before, but as long as Xu Wufu is frightened by me and sends people to Hutou Village again, we will definitely be able to spot something fishy."
Xu Huai smiled and said, "I hope so!"
Zheng Hui is currently the most insidious snake lurking deep in Tongbai Mountain. He always has speculations about Zheng Hui's motives and plans.
However, Xu Wujiang led his soldiers to flee and fell into the grass. They were like bereaved dogs. Even if they had a little bit of strength left, they were still staring at the movements in Xiema Mountain and Xu Wufu. Where could there be any manpower to lurk in Hutou Village?
Besides, Zheng Hui is lurking in Hutou Village with a group of experts, and not everyone can get close enough to conduct reconnaissance.
Unless Xu Wujiang, Xu Xin'an and the others rush over, but send others to the vicinity of Hutou Village to keep an eye on the activities there, who can not only ensure their own safety, but also see through the reality in Hutou Village in detail?
After all, most of the warriors are just mountain villagers who are not good at boxing!
He does not have anyone available to verify his inner guesses one by one. Perhaps forcing Xu Wufu and the others to take action is the most appropriate choice at the moment...

After Xu Wujiang, Su Laochang, Xu Guanshan and others gathered in carriages and headed to the new village on the east slope of Shituoling, they saw Xu Wuqi and Zhou Jing looking thoughtful. Xu Heng was anxious.
said:
"Don't listen to that crazy woman's nonsense! Xu Wujiang must have instructed her to talk like this to sow discord between us! It was Xu Wujiang and the others who had the audacity to defect to the bandits, as if they were being persecuted by us. It's really a ridiculous thing in the world.
!”
"Okay, stop talking!" Xu Wufu stopped Xu Heng.
Xu Wuqi and Zhou Jing have followed him over the years, commanding clan soldiers and handling clan affairs. How could they fool him with just a few words?
Although not many people have completely seen through Wang Zhen's encounter with bandits, there are speculations in Huaiyuan and even prefectures and counties. The restlessness in Hutou Village and the deserted troops in Xu Wujiang are full of many things in the eyes of outsiders.
There is something strange that cannot be explained.
Liu Qiong'er made everything clear. Not only did she clearly explain the part they were involved in, but most of the other things were also true.
These are perfectly consistent with various questions. At this time, you still forcefully defend yourself. Are you really bullying Xu Wuqi? Are Zhou Jing and the others rude warriors?
"Some of what this woman said is right," Xu Wufu thought about his words and said to Xu Wuqi and Zhou Jing, "Wang Zhen's encounter with bandits is not an easy matter, and it was the first time in Hutou Village that he went on a killing spree on the walking horse road.
After that, Chen Tong, the food supervisor, came to me. There were many hints that there was a noble person who wanted Wang Xun's death but was obstructed by others, and all these signs pointed to me, the Xu family. The Xu family's trip was really a disaster from heaven, and I had no choice but to do so.
I decided to sacrifice Xu Wujiang and the others, hoping that after Wang Zhen’s death, everything in Tongbai Mountain would return to peace. Maybe it’s just what the woman said, maybe I’m trapping myself in everything.”
"That woman's words are not entirely credible. It was probably her plan from the beginning to drag me, Mrs. Xu, into trouble - I also believe that the head of the family thought of Mrs. Xu in everything, so he had to make such a decision," Xu
Wu Qi said decisively with a serious expression, "But if it is said that those behind Hutou Village are really being controlled by those who want to assassinate Wang Zhen, I think we should be wary of their impure intentions!"
Xu Wuqi's statement made him feel relieved. Xu Wufu asked: "How to say?"
"The military village captured Shangliu Village, but Pan Chenghu finally escaped, and there were many gangsters following him. I'm worried that he will blame everything on the Xu family, and what else will he do to me, the Xu family?
Something bad happened. Yesterday, I sent people into the Hengfeng Mountain area in the north to track their whereabouts, hoping to keep an eye on their whereabouts so that I could free my hands to eradicate them in the future..." Xu Wuqi said thoughtfully.
Xu Heng looked at Xu Wuqi with some surprise.
Yesterday, everyone was relieved when they saw that Pan Chenghu's bandits were defeated and Deng Gui successfully returned to the inspection division's military camp. However, they did not expect that Xu Wuqi secretly planned to eradicate Pan Chenghu's men.
"Did you find anything?" Xu Wufu asked.
Xu Wuqi frowned and said: "What can be confirmed now is that yesterday evening, someone arranged a boat at Tiighu Beach in advance to take them to the direction of Hutouling!"
"..." Xu Wuqi sat down on the rock beside him a little weakly.
When Chen Tong came to him, he didn't say a lot of things clearly, and he wouldn't ask questions openly. But since he knew the root cause of everything, it was Cai Qing who sent people to assassinate Wang Zhen, who was behind Hutou Village?
Even if he is stirring up trouble, can he still not guess?
He had a conversation with Deng Gui. What was Deng Gui's intention to step down early and replace him with Guo Caoling? How could he not understand?
As for the news that Xu Wujiang's bid for Hutou Village was rejected, how could he not guess who was spreading the rumor, and how could he not guess their intention to kill someone with a borrowed knife?
But before today, he thought that the people behind the scenes were just trying to get rid of Xu Wujiang and the others.
Do you want to keep it simple?
If they just wanted to use the sword to get rid of Xu Wujiang, they could have delayed Deng Gui from sending troops, instead of preparing early and waiting for Deng Gui to send troops to attack Shangliu Village, so that they could recruit Pan Chenghu's remnants!
They had Guo Caoling take over the military camp after taking over from Deng Gui. Wang Zhen was already in their pocket. Hutou Village also tried their best to recruit Pan Chenghu's remnants. Who did they want to deal with?

"What Miss Liu just said by the Qingliu River Bridge is somewhat true, or is it just an excuse to evade blame?"
After all, Xu Wujiang still didn't want to drag the entire Xu family's three to four thousand people into this quagmire. He was quite surprised when he heard Liu Qiong'er's words. When he returned to Shituoling Xinzhai, he couldn't wait to ask for details.
"Whether it is true or not, we can't send people to Hutou Village to find out the details, but Xu Wufu will not slack off. We will know in a day or two. Furthermore, even if Miss Liu's speculation is true, Guo Caoling has already
Even if we die, we still have a chance to breathe!" During the night battle, Xu Huai's armpit was slashed twice. The injury was not serious, but the injuries to the muscles and bones of his arm and lumbar spine required a period of rest. When he returned to Xinzhai, Xu Wuliang specially found him
A couch for him to lie down and talk.
"You are such a fool. You don't know anything for sure, so you go to kill Guo Caoling. Aren't you afraid of missing something?" Su Di was so angry that she wanted to hit him with something.
"The consequences of a mistake would be disastrous!" Although Xu Guanshan was somewhat convinced after hearing Liu Qiong'er's words and felt that Guo Caoling deserved death, he still felt that it would be too risky to assassinate him directly.
But can you blame him?
More than a month ago, when he met everyone, he would praise his boy Xu Xin'an, who was highly regarded by Mr. Deng and who was as good as a whirlwind with a good gun. In three or four years, he might be able to reach the provincial level and find a girl from a good family.
.
Who could have imagined that the sky would fall in the blink of an eye?
"I thought what Miss Liu said was reasonable, so I did it."
Xu Huai didn't want to hide Xu Wujiang and Su Di, but Xu Guanshan and Su Laochang wanted to protect themselves more. He didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes, so he decided to simply ask Liu Qiong'er to take the blame, saying
"And Miss Liu said that this matter is not as dangerous as you think."
"What should I say?" Su Laochang asked with a frown.
Liu Qiong'er wanted to kick Xu Huai and blame her for everything, but how could she immediately come up with a good excuse?
"...Just like Xu Wufu can be threatened by us, Deng Gui is not unusable. He is cunning and has arranged for Uncle Seventeen to die, but all this is because he refuses to bear the responsibility of Wang Xiang Zai
He was responsible for the crime of violent death, not to mention that he had the courage to force Wang Xiang to death. So Miss Liu said, if I make a mistake, as long as I can escape to Wang Xiangong in time, Wang Xiang will risk his life to save me.
!" Xu Huai said slowly, as if Liu Qiong'er had already analyzed these words with him.
Su Di looked at Xu Wujiang with some confusion.
When he escaped from the military fortress, Xu Huai said that Liu Qiong'er had recruited Zheng Hui and others and overheard some secrets, so he involved Liu Qiong'er in order to use Liu Qiong'er as bait to lure the snake out of the hole.
Why did the rhetoric change all of a sudden?
Was all this really Liu Qiong'er's idea?
However, when Xie Mashan took the top spot, Liu Qiong'er had decided to take the third spot, and Xu Huai, Xu Wuliang, and Xu Wukun were all under her name; now Xu Huai puts all the blame on Liu Qiong'er, and Su
Ogi had no choice but to say anything else.
"Let's wait until Xu Wufu sends people to Hutou Village to find out the news," Xu Wujiang said with a serious face, "Zheng Hui really wants to hide evil intentions against the Xu family. Xu Wufu and the others will naturally know how to choose!"
"If our guess is wrong, I'm afraid Xu Wufu will never allow us to establish a foothold in Xiemashan!" Su Laochang still sighed with some worry.
They had already reached the limit of Xu Wufu's patience by threatening him with the Xu family.
However, at that time, Pan Chenghu's thieves were still threatening the safety of Lutai Village, so Xu Wufu had to compromise. If the threat Liu Qiong'er said did not exist, Xu Wufu wanted to persuade the elders of various clans to "exterminate relatives" to protect the clan.
It's a piece of cake.

What Su Laochang was worried about did not happen. In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Wufu, Xu Bosong, Xu Zhongyu, Xu Wuqi, Zhou Jing and others walked into the new village on the east slope of Shituoling.
"Miss Liu, how much do you know about this Zheng Hui?" Xu Wufu stared at Liu Qiong'er with a gloomy face and asked as he walked into the back village where Zhujia Xiaoxiao was restricted from entering on weekdays.
"Then I wonder how much the Xu Family Master knows about Hutou Village?"
Seeing Xu Wufu and others walking into Xinzhai worriedly, Liu Qiong'er knew that her and Xu Huai's previous guesses were correct. Zheng Hui's plot in Tongbai Mountain was not limited to causing an accident to cause Wang Zhen's death in Huaiyuan.
.
"Since Chen Zixiao murdered Tang Biao, the Wind-breaking Sword, and seized power in Hutou Village, in addition to intensifying the exploitation of surrounding villages, he has also been secretly recruiting troops. At this time, there is reason to believe that there are four thieves in Hutou Village.
Five hundred people. After Pan Chenghu was defeated at Shangliu Village, he took advantage of the boats that Hutou Village had prepared in advance at Tiaohu Beach and led his remaining troops to the west to join Hutou Village!"
In any case, the manpower Xu Wufu can mobilize is beyond the reach of this side.
With a clear idea and the fact that Xu Wuqi had arranged for people to spot a lot of clues a day earlier, it was not difficult to get a general idea of the situation at Hutou Village.
"The head of the Xu family will no longer blame me for instigating Xu Huai to assassinate Guo Caoling, right?" Liu Qiong'er asked proudly. She wanted to poke people like Xu Wufu in the face.
Xu Wufu's face twitched, but he knew almost all the details, and he knew very well that if people like Zheng Hui mainly wanted Wang Xun to die, and Guo Caoling to replace Deng Gui as the Huaiyuan inspector, it would be enough.
, there is no need to add extraneous branches.
Zheng Hui had Guo Caoling on patrol to control the local situation, but at the same time he was recruiting troops in Hutou Village to expand his power. No matter what Zheng Hui's intentions were, Xu Wufu would not think that Zheng Hui arranged this just to deal with Xu
