211: Only state officials are allowed to set fires? People are not allowed to light lamps?

"You...cousin...family..." Zhao Xi'er didn't know for a moment whether it was because she was too scared to say a complete sentence, or because she didn't know which question to ask first, or because she was so frightened that she was a little incoherent.

Seeing this, Tao Qiqi asked: "You want to ask me if your cousin, the person sent by the current emperor, was killed by me? Did I save all the officials' family members?"

Zhao Xi'er did not answer whether Tao Qiqi's guess was correct, but she already understood that all the people sent by the emperor had been killed by the female devil in front of her.

In the end, she could only stare at Tao Qiqi with scarlet eyes, eyes so glaring that tears flowed down her face.

Seeing that Zhao Xi'er didn't speak, Tao Qiqi replied to herself: "That's right, I killed all the archers sent by your cousin, and not a single one was left. I even used less than a cup of tea."

Time will kill them all. I think if your cousin knew the news, his expression would be no different from yours now. It’s just a pity for such an outstanding archery team."

After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, Zhao Xi'er couldn't help but roar: "You devil, you are a devil."

Tao Qiqi took out her ears and said: "Do you know that I am a devil now? It's too late. It was already too late from the moment you provoked me. If you had just spread the news and not sent a killer to provoke me,

Maybe I will be merciful and let you live. But you should not, should not overestimate your own capabilities and send killers to kill me and my family."

"You...you always knew?"

Tao Qiqi nodded: "That's right, I've known since the first time I met you, and I've been on guard against you, so I know all your correspondence with you there."

"Then...then you, you deliberately asked me to...let me pass...a message to my cousin?"

Tao Qiqi did not answer Zhao Xi'er.

Zhao Xi'er understood that this was Tao Qiqi's acquiescence to her doubts.

"Then you... you kept me... you kept me till now... on purpose? General... In fact, he had already chosen to support King Pingyang? What he meant by stabilizing King Pingyang was actually

I'm turning a blind eye and letting King Pingyang...let King Pingyang stay here in Nanguan and cultivate his own power."

"It's not too stupid. Yes, if we deal with you from the beginning, wouldn't it be enough to alert the snake and let them know too early that General Han has also turned to us?"

General Han was the biggest bargaining chip in their hands, so naturally it would be better to know later. But they didn't expect that there would be a secret order coming later. Let them take action in advance, so Nangong Ye's plan could only be advanced.

"I don't understand, I still don't understand. Since you asked me to send the news to my cousin, why are you afraid that they will know that the general has also turned to you?"

Tao Qiqi looked at Zhao Xi'er and replied: "There are still many things you don't understand? My time is limited, so I won't answer them one by one for you."

Zhao Xier: "I understand. Keep me and add the news from the general, so that the other side can believe the content in the letter more. Since you are here, you can't send back without news. As for the content in the letter, naturally

It's not all what we wrote. So what kind of news did you send back there?"

"You can go down first and wait for the content of the letter. When your cousin goes down too, you can ask him again."

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms. The small porcelain bottle contained poison.

Tao Qiqi poured a pill from it and placed it on the table.

"There is only one road in front of you now. Eat this and walk easily. Otherwise, you may have to suffer a little if you let me take action."

"No, I'm still useful." Zhao Xi'er didn't want to die, so she was ready to show her trump card.

Upon hearing this, Tao Qiqi became interested, "Tell me, what else do you use it for?"

"I know where Eunuch Fang is?" Zhao Xi'er replied.

Tao Qiqi: "This doesn't seem to be of much use to us. After all, King Pingyang will eventually sit in that position whether or not there is a secret edict. And he is the kind who has all the civil and military officials supporting him. In addition, once your cousin

Downfall, if the secret decree is true, Eunuch Fang will naturally show up with the secret decree."

Zhao Xi'er: "Then if my cousin finds Eunuch Fang first, destroys the secret decree, or tamperes with it..."

Tao Qiqi interrupted Zhao Xi'er: "I said, it doesn't matter, whether you have it or not, King Pingyang will sit in that position. If you want to trade with me, you have to come up with news worthy of my trade with you."

Zhao Xi'er: "I, I also know, I also know many secrets of King Jinyang."

Tao Qiqi: "That second prince, King Jinyang?"

Zhao Xi'er: "Yes, that's him."

Tao Qiqi: "Tell me and see if it's worth your life."

Zhao Xi'er: "I have always heard my sister call Young Master Tao's mother's name Qi Mei, but the general calls her Mrs. Gu. If I guess correctly, this Mrs. Gu refers to the wife of General Gu Bei, the God of War at that time."

Listening to Zhao Xi'er's words, Tao Qiqi's eyes changed. She looked at Zhao Xi'er and said, "Keep talking. If the news is true, I can choose to let your life go."

Zhao Xi'er saw this news as a chance, so she swallowed her saliva and continued: "Mrs. Gu's incident back then was related to his mother, but I don't know the details."

Zhao Xi'er was very smart and learned how to handle this matter.

This information is said to be useful, and it is indeed a clue. But in fact, it is of little use, because the people involved in this matter are no longer alive.

But she had another piece of news in her hand, so she was blocking it. Du Tao Qiqi wanted to know more, so she would let her go in the end.

Of course, regarding Zhao Xi'er's words, Tao Qiqi naturally understood that she did not tell the whole story, because she wanted to hold the important information in her hands to save her life.

Looking at Zhao Xi'er, Tao Qiqi thought for a while and said: "I can keep you alive, but your maid Xiaolan is dead. I will accompany you with another maid tomorrow so that she can take good care of you in the future."

After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, she put the pills back into the small porcelain bottle.

When Zhao Xi'er heard Tao Qiqi say that she wanted to arrange a maid for her, she immediately refused: "No, I don't need Mr. Tao to accompany me. There are many maids in the General's Mansion. I can just pick one who is smart and use it. How can I trouble Mr. Tao?"

"

"I am the one who killed the person, so it is safe to accompany you so that you don't have to talk nonsense in front of your cousin. Okay, this matter has been decided. I will ask her to come over early tomorrow morning. It is getting late, so you should be early

Rest, I will go back first."

After saying that, Tao Qiqi blew out the oil lamp in Zhao Xi's room and turned around and left her boudoir.

The night was quiet, Tao Qiqi made no sound when he came, and still made no sound when he left.

Looking at the dark room, Zhao Xi'er felt as if she was in a dream just now.
