In the snow.
Li Chenan and his party stood in front of a huge archway.
The word "Zhouyuan" is written on the archway with flying dragons and phoenixes.
"Go inside and you'll find Zhou Yuan's mansion."
Yin Ruming looked at Li Chenan again with concern, "Zhou Mingfang is very afraid of death. There are three hundred servants in Zhou Garden, and Zhou Mingfang also has more than thirty personal bodyguard experts!"
"Since the news of Xiaoqin coming from outside the customs spread, many martial arts masters have come to Zhou Garden."
"Today is his sixtieth birthday. We have met a lot of people from the world along the way, so there will only be more in his garden."
"And there are only seven of us, even including me!"
"I don't have much money with me."
"If we turn back now and run faster, out of Zhouzhuang, out of Jiangnan, and outside the customs, maybe we can still survive!"
Li Chenan pondered for a moment, but he didn't just walk into the archway.
He was still standing in the heavy snow, ignoring the curious gazes of those people in the world who were heading to Zhou Garden. He seemed to be waiting for something.
Xiaoqin was still carrying the dark coffin.
But the coffin was covered with snow.
He didn't keep walking either.
He looked at Li Chenan, not knowing why he stopped.
He didn't ask, he only knew that he shouldn't be timid or scared.
Li Chenan is indeed waiting.
According to the original plan, when officers and soldiers from all over Jiangnan Road went to Feng County, his goal had been achieved.
Wang Zheng Jinzhong will lead the people from the Imperial City Division to conduct an arrest operation.
Start from Pingjiang City.
The execution of this plan should have been tonight!
Tonight, during the Lantern Festival, those corrupt officials will have their families reunited.
If you want to catch them, of course they have to be organized.
But last night the sea turtle came back.
It brought news from Wang Zheng Jinzhong——
He has already taken action!
Although there was fighting throughout the process, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in Pingjiang City were no match for Yufengwei.
He completed the task successfully.
Pingjiang City, the most important Taoist palace in Jiangnan Road, fell into the hands of the imperial court.
This is a point.
If you win this point, it will be easy to win the Gangnam Road side next.
Because the 50,000 officers and soldiers who were under the orders of Yu Wanzhi and Song Shiming could not go back.
They will be captured in Feng County and fight to death. Those who surrender will be sent to Shuzhou to open mountains and farm.
Of course he, Li Chenan, didn't come to Zhouzhuang to wish that good person Zhou a birthday.
He was just a cover, and he also knew that his trip to Zhouzhuang, with Xiao Baozi, Amu and others, could not be hidden from the eyes of interested people.
Especially people from Kyoto.
He didn't deliberately hide it.
He should have left Zhouzhuang immediately after receiving the news, not to Feng County, but to Pingjiang City.
But last night, he thought about it for a long time and finally changed his original plan.
Xiaoqin wants revenge.
He can't stop Xiaoqin from taking revenge!
He didn't even want Xiaoqin to wait for a few days!
Because Xiaoqin said he couldn't wait any longer.
Li Chenan didn't understand why Xiaoqin couldn't wait any longer. He was obviously only sixteen years old!
Since I have already waited for sixteen years, waiting for six more days...what does it mean?
It is easy to destroy Zhouzhuang. All you need to do is let Wang Zheng Jinzhong come with the Yufeng Guards, and Zhouzhuang can be flattened in no time.
There is no danger in this.
But Xiaoqin's gaze was firm.
His heart is also very determined.
Li Chenan didn't want Xiaoqin to die in Zhouzhuang.
It's not that there are deep feelings, it's just that Xiaoqin's eyes are clear and simple.
Xiaoqin has regarded them as friends.
Li Chenan recalled his previous life and found that he had no real friends on whom his life could depend.
He cherishes these friends around him in this life.
Then we can only save Xiaoqin.
How to save?
He had to wait for the bird to come back before he could feel at ease.
But noon has arrived.
There are no more people on the road heading to Zhou Garden.
Xiaoqin was silent for a long time, then raised her head, her eyes still clear and simple.
"I'm so grateful that you guys have been able to walk with me this far."
"Actually, I know your worries, and I also know how good you are to me..."
"But I must go. I must go at noon today."
"I won't blame you, I will try my best to come back and pay you back the ten taels of silver.
"If I really can come back...my life is yours too!"
After saying these words, he carried the dark coffin on his back and walked.
Yin Ruming stretched out a hand, as if she wanted to grab him, but she didn't catch him after all.
Her hand dropped, and after three breaths, she also looked at Li Chenan:
"He is the young village owner's son, and I am the young village owner's lover. If I don't help him, I won't be able to give the young village owner an explanation even if I go to Jiuquan."
"You... are probably not ordinary people in the world, and there is no need for you to get involved."
"I'll let him go and you can come back."
Yin Ruming touched the thirty pieces of silver in his bag and followed Xiaoqin.
Li Chenan didn't know how Xiaoqin could kill Zhou Dashan.
He didn't know why Xiaoqin was still lucky enough to come back alive.
In Zhou Garden, many of the martial arts masters who came to attend Zhou Dashan's birthday banquet were the murderers who once destroyed Qinjian Villa.
The only hope he could think of for Xiaoqin was Yan Jidao.
Because the news sent by Wen Boyu mentioned that Yan Jidao was Xiaoqin's master.
Yan Jidao has come to Zhouzhuang.
But now there is no news about him.
Amu, Wang Zhenghaoxuan and Xiao Wu also looked at Li Chenan.
Li Chenan looked at the snow-filled sky.
In his eager sight, the sea turtle finally flew back.
After Xiao Baozi handed the note in the bamboo tube to Li Chenan to read, Li Chenan grinned.
"Let's go! Go to Zhouyuan!"
"Yan Jidao is here?"
"no."
"Then who's coming?"
"Ning Chuchu, there is another person you don't know. Her name is Cheng Yiren."
Xiao Baozi was stunned for three breaths, then turned to look at Li Chenan: "Another good sister?"
"no."
"Who could it be?"
"Zhongli Qiuyang's fiancée."
The group of people walked into the archway, facing the wind and snow, and headed towards Zhou Garden, which is far away.
At this moment, Xiaoqin has arrived at the door of Zhouyuan.
Yin Ruming was standing behind Xiaoqin.
The huge door was open, and two guards stood at the door.
Although the wind and snow were strong, I could already hear the laughter and laughter coming from inside.
Xiaoqin turned around and looked at Yin Ruming, "Thank you for the poached eggs. They are delicious."
"You go back."
Yin Ruming shook his head, with a complicated look in his eyes, "I'll let you go."
"If there is such a chance that you can come back alive... I will cook more poached eggs for you in the future."
Xiaoqin smiled shyly, "Actually, I lied to them. I knew I had no chance of going back alive."
"Then why don't you listen to that young master and wait a few more days."
Xiaoqin pondered for a moment, "I really can't wait any longer."
"If you wait a few more days, the young master will definitely be able to help you kill Zhou Mingfang!"
The smile on Xiaoqin's face seemed to be frozen by the cold ice and snow, and there was a look of pain in his eyes.
This look made Yin Ruming's heart hurt, and Xiaoqin had already turned her head away.
He was still carrying the dark coffin.
The back is still loaded.
But he raised his head and walked forward.
"There are many enemies in Qinjian Villa."
"It's rare for them to get together today."
"If it's past today... it would be very troublesome to find them again."
"This is my business."
"Go back!"
Of course Yin Ruming didn't reply.
She followed without hesitation and walked through the door of Zhou Garden.
