miscalculation

Yun Zhao didn't say much, just told Xiao Liang to be careful with the account book, and then went to the side account to rest.Only when he was talking to Xiao Liang, he would be a little cheerful, and the rest was silent.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Liang was a little worried, but he couldn't ask him directly.He knew that if he asked, Yun Zhao would definitely answer, but it was better not to ask at this time.

He wondered in his heart, could it be that his cousin found Pei Shang, and the other party refused to forgive him?When Pei Shang was mentioned in front of Gu Qingmo just now, Yun Zhao was extremely indifferent, which shows that nothing happened in the past few months.

Xiao Liang thought about it, and fell asleep on the bed after a while.When Ji Lan came back from Ji Ze's tent, he saw his little phoenix curled up on the bed in a cute sleeping position.

Just now, taking advantage of Ji Ze's rest, he asked Hao Sheng, a soldier of Ji's family, about the deployment of the battle force, and he already understood the general situation.However, Ji Ze's injury was much worse than he thought. Is there really no cure for the poison in his lungs?He couldn't help but think of Yu Kou Pill, they all said it could detoxify, but he didn't know if it could detoxify his elder brother.

It's not that he doesn't know the principles of medicine, but he still has a little luck in his heart. After all, if his elder brother can recover, his grandfather will be safe when he learns.But if something really happened to the elder brother, he really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to his grandfather when he was hit by this blow.Before they came to Fengyan, they only heard that Ji Ze was injured, obviously he deliberately concealed it and didn't want his family to worry.

Ji Lan thought: From this point of view, only by conquering Dian Kingdom as soon as possible and capturing Senior Brother Qin Xin can we have a chance to exchange for Yukou Pill.However, since senior brother may know his own background, even if senior uncle Mo Xuan's whereabouts are unknown, as long as he let the wind out, he is not afraid that senior uncle will fall into the trap of himself.

Although he wanted to take care of his fellowship, he was a citizen of Dongling after all, so he couldn't be merciful to them.If King Zhao is rescued this time, he must find a way to let senior brother Qin Xin go.Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiao Liang on the bed again, knowing in his heart that he would definitely not agree.

He had just gone out to look for someone, and sent a message to the Linhuamen in the middle of the capital, digging three feet to find Mo Xuan.He originally wanted to use the people in Linhua to find Chatian, whose whereabouts were unknown, but he was afraid that Concubine Ji Shu and his grandfather still had secret clues. If he found him, it would be detrimental to Master, so he could only secretly pray for his safety in his heart.

Three days later, it seemed that soldiers from the Dian Kingdom came to call for battle, which made Ji Lan's hands itchy, so he wanted to go out to meet the enemy.Xiao Liang knew that they had just arrived in the army, and Ji Lan had no military achievements but had the title of general before. He really needed to stand up, so he had to agree to fight.

Sure enough, Ji Lan lived up to expectations and beheaded the opponent, which immediately boosted the morale of the opponent who had been depressed for several days.Seeing how heroic he is, Xiao Liang sighed in his heart.

When Ji Lan returned to the camp, seeing Xiao Liang was unhappy, he asked, "Feng Mian, I won, why are you not happy?"

Xiao Liang poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, said: "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about you and your elder brother's martial arts, who is better."

Ji Lan drank the wine, then sat next to him and said, "My elder brother and I are on par in martial arts, but my grandfather said he was cautious, mature and stable, while I am good at being flexible and making the most of the situation. That's why my grandfather was relieved. He came to the border and left me at home."

Xiao Liang frowned, and said: "Father often said that General Ze is a rare general in the whole country for more than 20 years since the founding of Dongling, even the three marshals of the previous emperors can't compare with him."

Ji Lan didn't know why he was so worried, and said: "Of course. He is only 24 years old, and he has fought for seven years. How can the victorious general who is known all over the world get his name?"

Xiao Liang lowered his head and said: "It's General Chang Sheng, so his life is in danger, so the battlefield is dangerous. If we agree to this battle, General Gu is dead now, and General Ze is critically ill. There is no guarantee that Father will send you to garrison the border. Come on, aren't we separated? It's so dangerous here, how can I feel at ease if you stay here all year round?"

Only then did Ji Lan understand what he was thinking, so she told him the guess that Yu Koudan could save Ji Ze, and then explained: "A man should fight on the battlefield, and it is only natural that he is shrouded in horse leather and buried in a green hill."

When Xiao Liang heard this, he suddenly became frightened, and hurriedly said: "Don't say it's unlucky."

Ji Lan laughed and said, "Why are you so superstitious? The little phoenix is ​​an auspicious bird. With you here, my whale is very powerful!"

Yun Zhao clicked tut repeatedly, walked into the account, and said, "Okay, but we won a game, so let's show off like this."

Seeing him coming, Xiao Liang quickly stood up and sat a little further away from Ji Lan, Yun Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Ji Lan asked: "Brother Yunzhao, it's better for you to come. The Yukou Pill was made by my uncle, and it's also a product of your master's family. I don't know how effective it is. Can it relieve my elder brother's poison?"

Yun Zhao sat on the side and said, "Actually, I have something to discuss with you, which is related to your elder brother."

Seeing that he was so solemn, Ji Lan said, "But it's okay to say."

Yun Zhao took out a glass bottle, but saw a snow toad inside, the whole body was black, it was very scary.He intentionally teased Xiao Liang with the bottle, so scared that he almost hid in Xiao Liang's arms.

Xiao Liang shouted: "Cousin, what is this, take it away!"

Ji Lan was very pleasantly surprised, and said, "Swallowing Toad? Brother, why did you get this thing?"

Xiao Liang tilted his head and said, "What, the name is so overbearing, how can it swallow the sky?"

Yun Zhao said: "If you look down on him so much, I will let him out and crawl on you and bite him, to see if you are afraid."

Xiao Liang held back his voice and didn't dare to say any more. He only looked at Ji Lan, hoping that he would push the bottle away quickly.

Ji Lan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the Heaven Swallowing Toad has a gentle temperament. It is a holy product for detoxification, and it specializes in eating the poisonous blood in the human body."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I was worried about Xiaoliang's poison that day, so I stole it from the master's secret room in Dabie Mountain. But this toad is not effective for Baikucao, but it may be effective for Ji Ze."

Xiao Liang made a grimace, and said, "Then why is it called the Sky Swallowing Toad, it clearly can't swallow the sky!"

Ji Lan smiled wryly: "You were intoxicated by Tianxian drunk earlier, it was a Gu made by Master Uncle Mo Xuan, and she wants to put you to death, there is absolutely no way for Swallowing Toad to ruin a good thing."

Yun Zhaodao: "I've been thinking about it. Master can use a token to let me enter the palace as a bodyguard. If I think about it, she might have ambushed the deep palace long ago. But I'll talk about it later, although the Sky Swallowing Toad can suck poisonous blood , but there is a disadvantage, it will release its own poison while inhaling."

Xiao Liang said: "Then what should we do?"

Ji Lan said: "Brother Yunzhao, do you want to say, let the swallowing toad suck the blood from the elder brother's body, unravel the poison on his body, and then inject the poison of the swallowing toad into the elder brother's body, and then treat it with Yukou Dan?"

Yun Zhao said: "Exactly. Because I have seen the poison on Ji Ze's body, and it is the poison that Master used to use. The Sky Swallowing Toad can't do anything to him. From this point, we can conclude that their mother and son must have seen it before. Lian Yu I'm afraid Kou Dan is also in Qin Xin's hands."

Xiao Liang said: "In this way, we must find a chance to catch Qin Xin and obtain Yu Kou Pill."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Yun Zhao said again: "Have you two ever looked at the accounts found in King Zhao's tent?"

Xiao Liang said: "I've already read it, it's the account book of Tongji Bank, and it's signed, it belongs to the Shen family. According to the logic, Miss Shen married the eldest brother, this thing seems to be a dowry, and there is a private seal of the eldest brother on the back."

Yun Zhao said: "This account is useless, all the money in the bank has been taken away and fell into the hands of King Zhao."

Ji Lan was shocked, and said, "What did you say!" After he took over Sanhua, he had a mission to find this account book. Now that Yun Zhao is here and it has something to do with Xiao Jue, it's hard to explain clearly.

Xiao Liang was also very surprised, and said: "What is Second Brother going to do with such a large amount of money?" He was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Yun Zhao said: "Of course it is used to buy weapons and recruit soldiers. What do you think it is for?"

Xiao Liang almost slapped the table and stood up, saying: "Impossible! The second brother will definitely not do this!" In his heart, even if he and Xiao Cheng had turned against each other, he absolutely refused to believe that he would rebel.

Yun Zhao said: "I think Qin Xin sneaked into the King of Yue that day because of this account book. After he stole the account book, he presented it to the King of Yue to encourage him to rebel. The King of Yue may not really rebel, but he just wanted to use these If you have more money to build weapons and buy border soldiers, as long as you break through the Dian Kingdom, his prestige in the army will increase greatly. Naturally, it is a favorable threat to the crown prince, plus Gu Zhao is a general, what do you think will happen?"

Ji Lan glanced at Xiao Liang, but saw that he was also looking at her.The two of them already understood each other's thoughts, Xiao Liang begged him not to report Xiao Jue to know.

Xiao Liang said: "Now that General Gu is dead and Second Brother has been captured, if this matter fails, don't mention it."

If Ji Lan went to Xiao Jue with the account book, Xiao Cheng would be rescued with the means of Concubine Ji Shu and Ji Langfeng, and the crime of rebellion would not be washed away.In this way, Xiao Cheng will never have the opportunity to endanger Xiao Jue's position as the heir apparent.

Ji Lan said: "One thing more is worse than one thing less."

Yun Zhao handed over the ledger to Xiao Liang, but when he saw the latter thrown into the furnace and burned, he said, "My good cousin, you still care too much about the brotherhood. Your second brother repeatedly killed me in Zhao Wang's mansion that day. , you don’t even want to vent your anger on your cousin, so you are so anxious to help him destroy the evidence? Sure enough, the cousin is not as close as the second brother.”

Xiao Liang stood up immediately, grabbed Yun Zhao's hand and said, "No, cousin, don't worry too much, I just, just..."

Yun Zhao smiled and patted his head, and said, "I'm teasing you, why are you in such a hurry? You're such a child, so easy to deceive, okay! Why did you meet a fox-like person like Ji Lan? What can I do after suffering a big loss?"

Xiao Liang said obediently: "I have my cousin here, I'm afraid he will do something."

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "I'm really worthless, I don't want to bully you back, but I still ask my cousin for help!"

The two brothers were so close that Ji Lan didn't dare to interject a word and didn't know how to interface.

Seeing him like this, Yun Zhao understood, and said, "Okay, Ji Lan has been fighting all day, and it's time to rest. My cousin is tired for a day for his elder brother, so I won't be here to hinder you."

Xiao Liang saw that he was gone, so he turned to look at Ji Lan: "Thank you for the second brother, Jingbo."

Ji Lan looked at him and asked helplessly: "You begged me for your second brother, can't I let go of my calculations for the sake of the person I like? Why thank me?"

Xiao Liang shook his head and said: "If you do this, if the crown prince finds out, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Ji Lan held him in her arms, smiled softly and said, "If you are not happy, it is a big problem."

Their beds were separated by only two meters, but Xiao Liang asked someone to raise the screen to separate them, which made Ji Lan feel helpless.

Ji Lan asked: "It's not Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, why do we need such things?"

Xiao Liang said: "There are differences between monarchs and ministers."

Ji Lan smiled bitterly: "You are really careful."

Xiao Liang said: "You think that the royal father sent the Minister of Rites here for fun, if he goes back to read your book, none of us will be able to eat it and walk around."

Ji Lan said: "Yes, my Highness King Qin."

Xiao Liang said: "I heard that General Ze would occasionally call you Little Whale, is it true?"

Ji Lan was very embarrassed: "Where did you hear this?"

Xiao Liang said: "I just heard it, little whale, little whale, little whale, hahaha, it's really interesting."

Ji Lan said with a headache: "Okay, little Phoenix, stop laughing, how can you sleep peacefully if you keep laughing like this?"

Xiao Liang said: "If you don't sleep, then do something else."

Ji Lan suddenly remembered the movement she heard on the roof during the Spring Festival that day, but she couldn't answer it all at once.

Xiao Liang was surprised that he hadn't made any sound for a long time, so he asked: "Jing Bo, why are you silent?"

Ji Lan smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go out and take a shower before I come back."

Xiao Liang was very surprised and said, "Didn't you just wash today?"

Ji Lan said: "I didn't wash it just now, so don't ask again, go to bed first."

As he spoke, he took the cloak as if flying, and rushed out of the camp, making Xiao Liang quite speechless.After a long while, he suddenly understood, and immediately felt ashamed, covered himself with a quilt and pretended to be asleep.

When Ji Lan came back and saw him cover his head again, fearing that he might not be breathing well, he helped him cover it up to his neck, and while there was no one in the tent, he gently kissed his forehead before going back to lie down.
