Rouge Leopard and the secret envoy tried every possible means to intimidate and induce me, but the old man was very determined. No matter what you said or scolded, he just insisted that he did not have the heavenly book. In the end, Rouge Leopard and the secret envoy had to leave the world view in disappointment.
Seeing the old Taoist's pale face, trembling body and tears, the emissary sincerely admired him.
"I always thought that your acting skills were already perfect, but I didn't expect that this seasoned actor is even better than you. Talent! Talent!"
Rouge Leopard was in a heavy heart and was not in the mood to listen to the emissary's nonsense. He sat in silence in the carriage, but ignored the meaning in the emissary's words. If she understood the meaning, her scalp would immediately become numb and her whole body would feel cold.
I always thought that your acting skills were already perfect...
I always thought your acting skills were...
Always thought! ! !
Rouge Leopard rushed back from Xiao Qin without stopping. It was impossible for anyone to see the emissary earlier than her. But listening to the meaning of the emissary's words, he also knew that Rouge Leopard had been acting.
Xiao Qin just discovered it, how did the secret envoy know?
Rouge Tiger hid in the big tree, paying attention to the movements in Xiao's mansion. With Zhang Wuxin gone, she became much more arrogant than usual, because even if others found her, they couldn't stop her from escaping, and she was now confident.
Because it was daytime, An Qingyue was not there, but Zhan Yu, Shen Lian and others were. Since Xiao Feng and Qi Jiguang went to war, King Yu sent Zhan Yu to stay in the Xiao family.
King Jing originally wanted to send a guard to make up the numbers, but Xiao Feng was determined not to, saying that the people in his mansion had not yet fully figured it out. I had no choice but to lose to King Yu's move, and I get sulky just thinking about it.
The men all live in the front yard, but there are people patrolling outside the backyard wall day and night to prevent anyone from taking risks and jumping over the wall. At night, An Qingyue and the women lived in the backyard, which was completely safe.
In fact, this protective measure was somewhat excessive, because Yan Zhihu knew best that Yan Shifan had no intention of touching anyone in the Xiao family during this period. Zhang Tianci and his wife moved into the Xiao Mansion and were ridiculed by Yan Shifan in private.
"A bunch of short-sighted people, would I be stupid enough to touch Xiao Feng's family at this time? If I take action here, no matter whether it leaves traces or not, Long Live will think it was my Yan family who did it!
This group of people are just branches and leaves, Xiao Feng is the root of the tree. As long as the roots of the tree are broken, aren't the remaining people at my mercy? I have plenty of time to deal with them, so why rush and take such a big risk? "
Yan Shifan was right. As long as Xiao Feng died, Jiajing might take care of his family in the first year out of affection for Xiao Feng, but he would not care about peripheral personnel like Zuixianlou.
After a year, or at most two years, Jiajing would not be able to remember Xiao Feng's family. At that time, these people will be the fish on Yan Shifan's chopping board, and he can choose the juiciest parts and enjoy them slowly.
A carriage stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion. Yan Zhihu opened his mouth in surprise. Isn't this a secret envoy? His identity should be kept secret. Why is he coming to Xiao Mansion?
But then, Yan Zhihu's mouth opened even wider. The emissary did not enter the door, but lowered his head and parked the carriage in the open space next to the Xiao Mansion. The person who got out of the car and knocked on the door turned out to be Rouge Leopard!
Why is she with the emissary? Why are you knocking on the door of Xiao Mansion? For a moment, countless questions made Rouge Tiger almost jump off the tree, but she calmed down and continued to observe.
The tree was not close to the Xiao Mansion, so she couldn't hear what her sister was saying at all. She only saw the door of the Xiao Mansion open, her sister entering the courtyard, and then Zhan Yu and Shen Lian came forward to greet her.
Shen Lian still resented the two sisters for crippling the maid, but he was also a sensible person and knew that Yan Shifan needed to be blamed for this. It's just that Rouge Leopard still has a cold face.
"Young lady is from the Yan Mansion, why are you here at the Xiao Mansion? The two houses don't seem to have such a close relationship, do they?"
Rouge Leopard acted coquettishly along the way and used the most charming voice to convince the secret envoy that he must rely on the power of everyone in Xiao Mansion to achieve the purpose of the holy envoy and obtain the Book of Heaven.
On the one hand, the secret envoy felt that what Rouge Leopard said was reasonable, and on the other hand, he was so moved by Rouge Leopard's charm that he really did everything he could. He obediently drove the carriage to the Xiao Mansion, and at the same time accepted Rouge Leopard's entry alone. government recommendations.
"Master Secret Envoy, your identity is top secret. The people in the Xiao Mansion are not ordinary people. If they find out that something is wrong, how will you be able to operate in the capital in the future? Well~~~"
The word "um" twisted in eight twists and turns. The emissary's whole body went limp and he almost fell off the carriage. He said with a lewd smile: "Miss Leopard is right, you can just go in by yourself."
Rouge Leopard glanced outside and saw that the emissary's car was far away, but she believed that at this distance, if she could not lower her voice, the emissary might still be able to hear it.
However, she had already spoken in advance on the way, and when she arrived at the Xiao Mansion, no matter how realistic or eager her performance was, it was all for the Holy Envoy.
"Master Shen, Guard Zhan, I know you have prejudices against me, but this is not the time to settle old scores. I am here for Mr. Xiao, and his life is in danger at the moment!"
Rouge Leopard's anxiety was not fake, she was really afraid that Xiao Feng would be killed, no matter from any aspect.
The tears in Rouge Leopard's eyes conquered the upright Shen Lian. He took a step forward and asked eagerly: "What's wrong with Mr. Xiao? Please tell me clearly!"
Zhan Yu was not that easy to fool, he looked Rouge Leopard up and down and smiled contemptuously.
"Are you a tiger girl or a leopard girl? I cannot fully believe what your sisters say.
Mr. Xiao is such a person, and there is Qi Jiguang beside him. If you say that his life is in danger, doesn't it mean that the entire cavalry army has been wiped out?
Such big news was not reported to the capital. Instead, a group of old people who came from unknown places went around falsely accusing Mr. Xiao and Qi Jiguang of killing good people and taking credit for their crimes. Who did this? It’s not like your Yan family doesn’t know. "
Rouge Leopard naturally knew that Xiao Feng had been framed for killing Liang and taking credit, but she would never dare to say that it was Xiao Qin's arrangement, otherwise this ambiguous scene would be ruined. She had to convince the emissary that her purpose was to help. The Holy Envoy defrauded the Heavenly Book.
Anyway, Yan Shifan had done all the bad things, and he didn't care about taking the blame for it, so Rouge Leopard simply hinted with a little shame: Yes, this is what our Lord Yan did!
Even the women in the backyard heard the commotion at this time and came out one after another. Some of them had seen the Rouge sisters, but most of them had not. After listening to Zhan Yu's words, they realized that they were Yan Shifan's people.
Of the women in this courtyard, which one has no grudge against Yan Shifan? The deepest hatred is between Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao, which is the hatred of the whole family. Lan Niang came second, and her hatred was as deep as the sea.
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang were left. Although they had no direct hatred, how could they not feel resentful because their father was forced to go bankrupt and imprisoned by Yan Shifan's people?
This group of women's soldiers surrounded Rouge Leopard in the middle, and they were all eager to try. They didn't know what to say to relieve their hatred. Rouge Leopard knew that once the women opened their mouths, it would inevitably lead to chaos, so he quickly got down to business.
"Guard Zhan, I know you don't believe me. I am Rouge Leopard. I have been ordered by Lord Yan to spy on the military situation near Gubeikou in the past few days.
Five thousand cavalry were besieged on a mountain by 20,000 Tatars. Young Master Xiao led a hundred cavalry in the middle of the night to attract the enemy's attention, allowing General Qi to lead a large group of troops to break out from the other side of the hillside and run towards Gubeikou.
But Mr. Xiao and his two soldiers were captured by the Tatars. Fortunately, the Tatars also admired Mr. Xiao and did not kill them immediately. But they asked Mr. Xiao to exchange his life for the heavenly book that measured the calligraphy.
Mr. Xiao's personal soldiers took fans and rushed to the capital. On the way, they met a small group of Tatar cavalry. Those cavalry did not know what was going on here and started to rob and kill them. I happened to meet them. I killed the Tatar cavalry, but the bodyguard was too wounded to move.
He didn't know my identity, but when he saw that I was a Han, he entrusted me with the fan, told me the story, and asked me to quickly return to the capital to get the Book of Heaven to rescue Mr. Xiao. "
These words were half true and half false, but they were all true, so they were extremely credible. Not only did Shen Lian believe them, but Zhan Yu also became anxious.
As for those women, two of them had already fainted when Rouge Leopard talked about Xiao Feng falling into the hands of the enemy. The remaining people supported the fainted ones, covered their mouths, trembled, and continued to listen.
When they heard what was going on, they finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Rouge Leopard in a tearful voice if Xiao Feng had told him where the Heavenly Book was. Even if they demolished the entire Xiao Mansion, they still wanted to find the Heavenly Book right away.
Rouge Leopard breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when a crisp and disdainful voice came from behind him.
"That's nonsense. I believe you when you say that the Tatars won't kill Xiao Feng. They captured the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and never took prisoners. Only a ghost can believe that those two soldiers were able to come out alive to deliver the message!"
Some people died, but not completely...
