The sun rises in Dongshan Col, and the morning bell scares the birds. While Qiaoqiao was still sleeping soundly in the room, Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang had already started practicing martial arts with Zhan Feiyun.
According to Zhan Feiyun, Qiaoqiao is a good martial artist, but unfortunately he doesn't work very hard. Unless Xiao Feng talks, Qiaoqiao is basically absent from morning training.
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang are different. Since the last time they experienced a bloody battle and were helpless, they have become very interested in martial arts training. They also have the mentality of competing and have made great progress.
Wang Yingxiang, in particular, was well aware that her position in the Xiao Mansion was rather awkward, so she only wanted to perform well and stand out. This feeling is the same as that of a child from a poor family who always wants to study hard and become famous.
Zhan Feiyun corrected the two's martial arts postures and taught them how to exert their luck. Zhan Feiyun had never practiced weapons and could not teach them how to practice weapons. The recent weapons lessons were given by Zhan Yu accidentally.
Just as he was practicing vigorously, it was time for Zhan Feiyun to go on duty at the Criminal Department. He hurriedly went on duty after eating a meal. The two little sisters practiced for a while, and then Qiaoqiao ran out rubbing her eyes, smelling the aroma and heading to the kitchen.
At this time, a carriage stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion and started knocking on the door. Qi An in the porter looked at him and was about to ask questions when another servant who was guarding the door recognized him first.
"Zhang Liusan, why are you here? Dad Qi, this is our brother who fought together. Now he lives next door to Wang Tuiguan's house under Master Xiao's orders."
Zhang Liusan said with a smile: "It's Mrs. Wang's birthday today and she wants to take Miss Wang home. Master Xiao left a car at the old house, so I volunteered to come."
The servant smiled and said: "In the army, you have horses that are not riding, but are willing to drive carts. Now you will have a lot of fun."
After saying that, he quickly ran to find Wang Yingxiang. Wang Yingxiang was competing with Qiaoqiao to drink porridge. After hearing an ouch, Wang Yingxiang complained about herself again and again.
"Really, it's my mother's birthday today, and I even forgot about it. Damn it, damn it. I'm going home right now!"
Liu Xueer heard this and quickly asked Qiao Niang to prepare a gift for Wang Yingxiang to take home. Wang Yingxiang said goodbye to her sisters happily and got into Zhang Liusan's car to go home.
From Xiao's Mansion to Wang Tuiguan's home, there is no too remote section, they are all on the street. Zhang Liusan is one of the servants arranged by Xiao Feng, so there is no need to worry.
After Wang Yingxiang and her parents celebrated her birthday at home, they stayed for another day, and then they made a fuss about going back to Xiao Mansion.
She was used to being lively in Xiao Mansion, but it was indeed too deserted at home. Therefore, his parents did not object and still asked Zhang Liusan to drive him back.
Zhang Liusan drove forward slowly. It was getting late and people on the street began to close their stalls. Wang Yingxiang felt that something was wrong with Zhang Liusan.
Zhang Liusan was originally a very talkative person. When he brought her back, he answered all her questions and told her a lot about his time in the army. But now it is extremely silent.
"Brother Liusan, what's wrong with you? Why don't you speak? Are you tired from driving out today?"
Zhang Liusan still didn't speak. Wang Yingxiang felt bored and stopped talking. She lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked out, only to find that the carriage turned into a small alley.
"We don't need to take the alley, I remember..." Before he could finish his words, a figure flashed out of the alley very quickly and got into the carriage.
Wang Yingxiang was horrified and was about to open his mouth to shout, but the man struck very quickly and quickly covered Wang Yingxiang's mouth with one hand. Wang Yingxiang struggled desperately, but his movements became weaker and weaker, and finally gave up the struggle, and his eyes became Much sluggish.
The man smiled with satisfaction, put his mouth next to Wang Yingxiang's ear, and said softly: "Put what you have in your hand into the soup for Xiao's dinner."
Wang Yingxiang nodded blankly, and the man jumped off the carriage and disappeared into the alley like a ghost. Zhang Liusan drove the carriage and walked out of the alley. From the quick alley, it only takes a cup of tea.
At this time, a fat owner of a tea stall on the roadside had already entered the alley. When he saw the carriage coming out, he pretended to support the carriage while retreating, and took the opportunity to raise a gap in the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing that Wang Yingxiang was safe and sound in the car, the fat boss breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his tea stall to continue doing business.
In a yard in the middle of the alley, two men in black watched the carriage go away, walked out of the yard, and followed it from a distance.
"Yan Shifan said that Xiao Feng's family and friends are all under the radar of Jin Yiwei, and it seems to be true.
Fortunately, we planned carefully, otherwise we might have been exposed and we would have been in trouble. How many heart poisons did you eat for this little girl? "
Another person said: "One."
Someone from before frowned: "Is the power of a mind voodoo too weak? What if I can't control her?"
Another person sighed: "There is nothing we can do. The man driving the car is a soldier. He has experienced life and death and is extremely difficult to control. We only brought five mind gu in total and used two on him.
This time when he came to the capital, the young chieftain had ambitious goals, so he had to keep two as backup. Don't worry, one heart voodoo will definitely be enough to deal with this little girl.
Besides, the heart poison is very harmful to people. This little girl is young and frail. I'm afraid that she will have an attack before she can finish the work, and then she will fail! "
The carriage arrived at the gate of Xiao's Mansion and passed a little further. Two men in black followed the carriage from a distance. They took two quick steps forward with a nervous expression on their faces. The carriage slowly took a few steps back and stopped. In front of the gate of Xiao Mansion. m.
Qi An, the doorman, saw that it was Zhang Liusan who had been here yesterday and the day before yesterday. He nodded with a smile and opened the door. Wang Yingxiang awkwardly got out of the carriage, ignored Qi An who greeted her, and walked straight into the yard.
Qi An was a little strange. Although Wang Yingxiang was an official woman, she had always been very polite to him. What happened today? Was there something on her mind that made her in a bad mood?
Zhang Liusan's carriage stopped at the entrance of Xiao's Mansion. He stared blankly at Qi An, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Qi An, but he couldn't say a word.
Qi An walked out of the small door strangely: "Zhang Liusan, what's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"
Zhang Liusan's face was slightly distorted, and his lips trembled even more, but he was still speechless. The two men in black took a few steps forward, lowered their heads, and clasped their hands.
Zhang Liusan gritted his teeth, turned the carriage around, and drove away slowly. Qi An stood there, shook his head in confusion, returned to the door, and closed the small door.
A man in black followed the carriage from a distance, as if driving Zhang Liusan away with an invisible whip. The other walked into the alley next to Xiao Mansion and walked forward along the courtyard wall of Xiao Mansion.
Wang Yingxiang walked past Zhang Yunqing and Qiaoqiao who were practicing martial arts on the playground. Zhang Yunqing sighed: "Yingxiang, why don't you stay at home for two more days?"
Qiaoqiao also greeted Wang Yingxiang: "Sister Yingxiang, let's eat steamed buns tonight! My mother's buns are delicious! Eat steamed buns and drink tofu soup!"
Wang Yingxiang hesitated for a moment, stopped, slowly turned her head to look at the two of them, smiled dully, raised her right hand and waved it, then put it down and continued walking to the backyard.
Qiaoqiao didn't pay attention and continued to practice with the stick, but Zhang Yunqing said strangely: "Why is Yingxiang's movements so strange? It's like a marionette."
Qiaoqiao thought for a while: "Maybe it's because I practiced martial arts hard in the past two days. Last time, my master asked me to practice martial arts with brother Zhang Wuxin. I couldn't rest unless he rested. After that, I couldn't lift my arms for three days!"
Zhang Yunqing felt that what Qiaoqiao said made sense, so he did not continue to investigate further. Wang Yingxiang walked through the middle house and came to the last row of houses. Xiao's kitchen was the first one outside this row of houses.
Wang Yingxiang walked into the kitchen, where Qiao Niang and Lan Niang were busy. The steamer was steaming, and the soup in the other pot was also steaming.
Although Liu Ruyun lived in Xiao Mansion, she had cooked for a whole day in Zuixian Tower. It was very late when she returned to Xiao Mansion, and she could not cook for everyone every day.
Except for festivals or family banquets, Qiao Niang and Lan Niang are still the chefs at home, cooking home-cooked meals for everyone. What they are best at is steamed buns, which are simple, delicious and easy to carry. They are very popular among everyone in the Xiao family, especially Qiaoqiao.
Seeing Wang Yingxiang walking in, her face could not be seen clearly through the misty heat, Qiao Niang smiled and greeted her.
"Yingxiang is back! You must be hungry. The buns will be out soon. It's hot in this room. Just go to the dining hall and wait to eat!"
Wang Yingxiang walked to the soup pot and stood there blankly. Qiao Niang and Lan Niang were busy removing the wet cloth from the basket and taking care of the firewood in the stove. No one paid attention to her.
The people in the Xiao Mansion, including the servants, are selected layer by layer. The entire Xiao Mansion is as solid as an iron barrel and will never be conquered from the inside. But even so, only these women can enter the kitchen.
Because the kitchen is too important, Xiao Feng has stipulated that only women can enter, and there is absolutely no possibility of any women in the Xiao Mansion betraying the Xiao Mansion!
So no one would pay attention to what Wang Yingxiang was doing, even if she stood there for a strangely long time. Wang Yingxiang's whole body was shaking, as if she was trying hard to fight against something.
At this time, the man in black stopped outside the wall of Xiao Mansion, as if he was tired from walking, and sat on the wall to bask in the sun. A hidden stake of a Jin Yiwei took a sneak peek and saw that he was not making any movement, so he paid no attention to him.
The man in black was leaning against the wall, his whole body trembling slightly, and he kept muttering something in a low voice. Wang Yingxiang finally slowly raised her hand and threw a pill in her hand into the soup pot in the steaming heat.
The pill sank into the piping hot egg and spinach soup, dissolving quickly and barely changing the color of the soup. Wang Yingxiang's body was shaking violently, as if she was about to cry.
But finally, she left the kitchen and stood blankly at the door. At this time Qiao Niang walked out of the door and patted her on the shoulder.
"Yingxiang, the buns are out of the pot, go call them to come and eat!"
Wang Yingxiang stood there blankly, motionless. Qiao Niang looked at Wang Yingxiang's face and was surprised.
"This child looks so bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable? You should sit down in the room and rest for a while. I'll call them."
Qiao Niang walked to the front yard and called Qiao Qiao and Zhang Yunqing. Qiao Qiao and Zhang Yunqing ran over and helped Lan Niang carry the buns and soup to the front yard.
The Xiao Mansion still has the same old pattern. All the men except Xiao Feng live in the front yard. Xiao Feng, Liu Xueer and Xiaomei live in the middle yard, and the remaining women live in the backyard.
Because Xiao Feng was not at home during the meal, Liu Xueer felt that it was too deserted for her and Xiaomei to eat, so she was willing to eat in the backyard. Lan Niang would send the men's meals to the front yard.
At this time, Zhan Feiyun walked into the courtyard. The servants were surrounding the steamed buns and soup. They were all chatting and laughing, but no one moved their chopsticks. Seeing Zhan Feiyun come in, he shouted happily.
"Captain Zhan, you're back, I'm waiting for you to serve dinner!"
Zhan Feiyun smiled: "I've said it several times, you don't have to wait for me. If I catch up with a case, it's hard to tell when I will be on duty."
While talking, everyone sat down, poured the soup from the big basin into small bowls, brought the steamed buns and started eating.
At this time, several women were gathered around the table in the backyard. They were not in a hurry to eat. They were all concerned about Wang Yingxiang's face. They didn't speak when they saw her, and kept asking her what was wrong with her.
At this moment, an idle man walked up to the man in black outside the wall and said with a smile: "Brother, the sun has set and there is no sun anymore. What are you doing here at the base of the wall?"
The man in black suddenly raised his head, and the idle man was startled: "It's still a woman! I mean, girl, this is the Xiao Mansion, don't sneak around here, you might be misunderstood!"
The woman in black stared at the idle man nervously, and reluctantly said two words: "Get away!"
The idle man also changed his expression: "It's easy to talk and discuss, right? Then come with me! Were you kicked out by your in-laws? Or were you fucked by the eldest wife? Brother, I will find a place for you to spend the night!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pull her. The woman in black gritted her teeth and suddenly shot out two palms, hitting the idle man in the chest very sharply. The idle man was shocked. He didn't expect this woman to have such skill. He barely parried and retreated repeatedly.
But in the blink of an eye, another hidden stake came into the alley. When he saw his colleagues taking action, he immediately came to help. Seeing that she couldn't win quickly, the woman had no choice but to attack with two quick attacks, turn around and run away.
The two Jin Yiwei shouted and chased after her. The woman was wandering around in the alley. It was getting late. By the time the other Jin Yiwei heard the sound and came to surround her, she had already disappeared.
One of the Jin Yiwei suddenly remembered: "There was a man in black clothes on the street before. He went over there. Chase him quickly and take a look. Maybe he is in the same group!"
Wang Yingxiang's eyes lit up at the dining table in the wall, as if she suddenly woke up from a dream. She grabbed the undistributed soup basin on the table and overturned it.
Everyone in the room jumped up in fright, both to avoid the soup and because they were frightened by Wang Yingxiang's sudden nervousness. Wang Yingxiang struggled to squeeze out a few words as if she had just learned to speak.
"Don't...drink...the soup...there's...poison in it!"
After she finished speaking, she left the stunned people behind and stumbled towards the front yard. Qiaoqiao and Zhang Yunqing, who were the first to react, followed her and ran towards the front yard.
Qiaoqiao ran the fastest, and Wang Yingxiang ran slower and slower. The three of them ran while shouting loudly.
"Brother Zhan! Uncle Qi! Don't drink the soup! The soup is poisonous! The soup is poisonous!"
At this time, Qi An was holding the soup bowl and was about to put it to his mouth. One of the servants had already taken two sips. Zhan Feiyun had just eaten a steamed bun and had not yet drank the soup. Hearing the shout, he was startled and waved his hands. The soup bowl he was holding fell to the ground!
Wang Yingxiang failed to run to the front yard. She staggered and fell halfway. Zhang Yunqing ran back and hugged her, only to find that her face had turned blue-white and her breathing had gradually become weaker.
Zhang Yunqing was so anxious that he cried loudly: "Brother Zhan, come and see what's going on with Yingxiang?"
Zhan Feiyun shouted: "No one wants to drink the soup. Those who drank the soup just now should go and induce vomiting!" After saying that, he jumped up, strode over, and pulled Wang Yingxiang from Zhang Yunqing's arms.
He only glanced at it and immediately touched several of Wang Yingxiang's acupuncture points. Wang Yingxiang's breathing became calmer, but her face remained unchanged and was still frighteningly pale.
Zhan Feiyun also had some antidote on his body, but he didn't know what kind of poison Wang Yingxiang had, so he was helpless and could only ask someone to go out and find a doctor first.
Qi An suddenly remembered: "Captain Zhan, Zhang Liusan, who sent Miss Wang over from Yangliu Lane today, looks very similar to Miss Wang. Both of them were stunned. Could it be that they were poisoned by the same poison? "
Just when Zhan Feiyun was about to ask someone to go to Yangliu Lane to ask about the situation, someone had already rushed to the gate with a carriage. The driver was Zhang Liusan. His face was pale and black blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. He rolled down from the carriage and threw himself on it. Get to the gate.
He opened his mouth, black blood sprayed out from his mouth, and roared: "Open the door, Miss Wang has been poisoned, it is the poison of the Miao people! I heard them talking when I was poisoned..."
When Zhan Feiyun opened the door, Zhang Liusan was already lying on the ground, not breathing.
Zhan Feiyun looked at Zhang Liusan's body, gritted his teeth, and shouted through the door.
"No one should go out, I'll go to Beizhen Fusi to find someone!"
Some people died, but not completely...
