When Tusheer saw the painting, his eyes widened in shock at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes.
"It scared me to death. It was so mysterious. I thought it was something big."
"..."
"In the end, it's just a painting like this. Who can be so boring and mischievous?"
She had relaxed, but Shang Ruyi's expression did not relax. She stared at the painting from left to right, and then from right to left. Suddenly she seemed to see something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Tusheer said: "Miss, please ignore this kind of prank, right?"
Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice: "Who would give five taels of silver to the concierge as a prank?"
"...?"
Upon hearing this, Tusheer was stunned for a moment and came to his senses - even if it was a prank, it was a bit too risky.
She immediately looked at the painting again, but still couldn't figure out why, and said, "Then, what does this mean?"
Shang Ruyi's expression became more solemn.
She stretched out her hand, pointed to the wheat plant on the far right of the drawing paper, and said, "Wheat is food. The thing directly related to food in front of us right now is Xingluocang. Therefore, this wheat plant represents Xingluocang." "
"ah!?"
Tusheer was startled, looked at the painting again, and suddenly understood what he was talking about, and said, "Then, the person in the middle facing the wheat, is my uncle?"
Shang Ruyi nodded: "Not bad."
"..."
"This person represents Yu Wenye. He is attacking Xingluocang."
Tusheer's eyes looked at the knife on the far left of the painting, and he said with a horrified look on his face: "Then this knife——"
Shang Ruyi said: "This knife is aimed at Yu Wenye's back."
"..."
"The meaning of this painting is that Yu Wenye is attacking Xingluocang, and someone is going to kill him behind his back!"
Tusheer gasped.
She seemed unwilling to accept such a dangerous and cruel possibility, and said hurriedly: "Miss, could it be that someone is playing a prank just to scare us? We also have many enemies in the Duke's mansion, like that General Wang - Hua Wu Two pieces of silver makes us feel uneasy, but it’s not a big deal to them.”
Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said nothing.
Indeed, the implications of this painting may be true or false. If it is false, it is not worth mentioning at all.
But what if it’s true——
Chu Yang has made it very clear today. Once Yuwen Ye is defeated again and loses more troops, he will not let him go. If what this painting implies is true and someone wants to harm Yu Wenye behind his back, then this matter , it’s just a deadlock!
Yu Wenye will definitely die!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi squeezed the painting into a ball and held it in his palm.
Seeing her like this, Tusheer subconsciously grabbed Shang Ruyi's wrist and whispered, "Miss, do you really believe that this painting is real?"
Shang Ruyi glanced at her, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "I can't take this risk!"
Tusheer said: "Miss, what are you going to do?"
Shang Ruyi composed himself and said, "Where is Jiang Kesheng?"
Jiang Kesheng was the captain of the team of 200 people that Yu Wenyuan left with her when he left Dongdu. The goals of these two hundred people were too big to allow them to stay in the city, so Yu Wenyuan sent them to his own camp outside the city. A Zhuangzi went to practice martial arts, while Jiang Kesheng came to Yuwen Mansion every few days to greet Shang Ruyi and report on the situation outside the city. ….
Tu Sheer said: "He left the city and went to Zhuangzi."
"Oops……"
Shang Ruyi's brows furrowed. After thinking for a moment, he got up and got a pen and paper. He hurriedly wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to Tusheer, saying: "You should leave the city immediately and send this letter to Zhuangzi." , give it to Jiang Kesheng, he will naturally know what to do after reading it."
"yes."
Tusheer simply took the letter and left.
But just as she turned around
When he was about to go out, he saw that Shang Ruyi had already started to change his clothes. Instead of changing into casual clothes for rest, he put on clothes for going out. He was shocked and said: "Miss, what are you doing?"
Shang Ruyi said: "I want to leave the city quickly while the city gate is not closed."
"Miss, this won't work! It's too dangerous for you to be alone! It's better to wait until I go to the village to call everyone back and ask them to accompany you."
"That's too late,"
Shang Ruyi changed his clothes while talking. Although his tone was urgent, he was extremely calm: "Zhuangzi is in the north. This trip will take more than half a day at least, and things on the battlefield are changing rapidly."
"Then, you should bring a few more people with you."
"No, our Duke's Mansion is already at the cusp of the storm. I don't have a big goal of going out of the city alone. It's not easy to attract people's attention. If I bring many people with me, I might not even be able to get out of the city."
"Can--"
"She'er!"
Shang Ruyi interrupted her and said seriously: "If someone really wants to harm Yu Wenye in the army, he won't wait for me this night."
Hearing her say this, Tusheer had nothing to say.
Shang Ruyi said: "Okay, get out of the city quickly and be careful on the road!"
Tu Sheer nodded and turned to leave. After thinking about it, he turned back and said, "Miss, you must be careful when you go alone. Your safety is the most important thing to me..."
Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly warmed up.
She smiled and nodded, and Tusheer immediately turned around and left.
Shang Ruyi took a few more things and followed them out the door.
The night is getting darker.
The originally silent mountains fell into an emptiness that seemed like nothingness at this moment. The severe cold froze everything in the mountains. Only the wind that occasionally carried broken snow prevented the place from becoming completely silent.
Here is Xingluocang City on the Loess Ridge.
The huge Cangcheng City has now completely fallen into the hands of Wang Gang's army. There are also people holding hands at each checkpoint. A long road spirals through the mountains, leading into the city and directly to the largest meeting hall.
The lights here are bright, like a cluster of candles deliberately lit in the silent mountains.
The meeting hall was even more crowded, and it was even hotter than the flames in the several braziers placed around the hall. There were two rows of eight chairs in the hall, with eight little leaders sitting on them, behind each person. There were three or five subordinates following him, all talking loudly, noisily and quarreling.
At the top of the meeting hall, there was a low table with a map of the surroundings of Xingluocang City.
A man was sitting behind the desk, looking down at the map.
Because he was holding the edge of the table with one hand and supporting his forehead with the other hand. In addition, he was the farthest away from the surrounding brazier and there were no candlesticks and torches nearby. The light was very dark and his appearance could hardly be seen clearly. He could only feel The whole figure is very strong, even just sitting there, he looks like a crouching tiger, exuding an intimidating aura. ….
Regardless of the quarrels in the meeting hall, he remained silent.
Gradually, everyone around him felt his dullness and became quiet.
At this time, a young man in his twenties with a handsome appearance stood up and said, "Brother, what are your plans?"
"..."
The man said nothing and continued to look at the map.
Another middle-aged man with a curly beard and an impatient expression said impatiently: "Hua Ziying, you have to ask this question! We are guarding so much food now. As long as we guard the pass, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can't do anything to us." , why do you still care about things outside?"
Others also agreed: "That's right, don't worry about the outside world."
"With so much food here, we don't have to fight anymore."
"Then Yu Wenye is also vulnerable."
Listening to the confident voices of these people, the people sitting in the main seat still looked at the map without saying a word. On the contrary, the young beggar Ying said uneasily: "Everyone, although we guard this Cangcheng, we have endless possibilities. Endless food to eat, but now, not enough
When we sit back and relax. I got news that the imperial court now plans to use troops in Liaodong. To use troops, they must rely on the food in Xingluocang, so they will definitely find a way to invade. "
"oops,"
The big man with the beard waved his hand and said: "Xiaohua, why are you such a mother-in-law? Yu Wenye sent out troops three times in the past few days, but they all came back defeated. So many of his men died. He was obviously an incompetent person. Why are you so afraid of him?"
Everyone around was amused by the word "little flower" and laughed and said, "Yes, he really lives up to his name."
"I think that Yu Wenye is a loser, a idiot!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
When Hua Ziying was called "Little Flower", an angry look appeared on his face, but at this time he could only hold it back and said, "I don't think so. Although Yu Wenye was very impatient in sending troops these three times, he didn't send many troops. It was obviously a test. The person who went out to spy today came back and reported that he had - such anomalies occurred, there must be something wrong with it! Brother Lu, we can't take it lightly."
"Abnormal? You call this abnormal? We call this shit, hahahahaha."
"Xiaohua, your name is girly, but you act like a girl no matter what!"
"You are afraid of him, but we are not afraid of him."
Seeing that the people around him were laughing and joking again, Hua Ziying turned pale with anger, his chest heaved violently, gritted his teeth, turned to the tall figure on the main seat, cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what do you think? ?」
The lobby fell silent.
In fact, no matter how they argue, the final decision still rests with the eldest brother.
After all, he was the leader who brought their team out from Wanggang Village, seized the largest granary in the world in one fell swoop, and attracted heroes from all over the world. Now he is the leader who is so dominant that even the court is frightened!
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The wind blew in from outside the gate, causing the flames in the brazier to flicker and sway. The fire shone on the man's strong figure, giving off a calm but dangerous aura.
After a while, a deep voice sounded——
"Assemble your troops immediately and get out of the city!"
The people around were shocked and hurriedly wanted to say something, but they saw the man slowly raised his head, with a pair of bright eyes shining brightly in the dim light!
"We must take the initiative."
