Jiang Qing

Mei Shao glanced at the torch lit on the opposite side, and tightened his grip on the man's neck: The other party came prepared, knew the secret way here early, and prepared the torch in advance.

The people under him were a little out of breath, struggling to tell the truth, "I... I am from the Marquis of Nanyang, if you don't believe me, you can look at the badge."

Borrowing the light, Mei Shao looked at the jade waistband that he took out from him just now. The tentacles were warm and delicately carved. Even in such a claustrophobic environment, there was a faint brilliance. It was just a few slanted blood The thread runs through the top and bottom, splitting a piece of good jade, the blood streaks are bright red, revealing a bit of strangeness.

With this blood line, everything else can be ignored, Mei Shao knows that what he said is the truth, at least this jade tablet is indeed a valuable Nanyang Hou waist card.

The waist cards of the four major military lords who symbolize their status are all carved out of a piece of jade. Emperor Mu De won the world and ascended to the throne. Hou, enjoy the fiefdom, control the military power, and divide four jade plaques from the whole jade stone, so as to encourage generations of military princes to remember the same root and origin, and work together to assist the monarch.

Now nearly 300 years have passed, the families who inherited the military lords have changed several times, and the four major military lords are even more independent. They seem to be in harmony with each other, but it seems that these four similar jade plaques are like a joke.

"The last general Nanyang Marquis is under Fei Yongchang's account." Facing those obscure eyes, Fei Yongchang knew that he was thinking, and hurriedly reported his name.

Mei Shao didn't take it lightly, and gestured to the people behind her, and only let go when they went to hand over the weapons and torches to the people Fei Yongchang brought.

"Mr. Ren is worthy of having a large number of disciples. He donates righteousness and donates money. His eyes are farther than other military marquises. He can see clearly even a hidden cave in the bandit village in Cangzhou. Mei admires it."

Facing each other, Mei Shao saw that Fei Yongchang's face, which could be regarded as Qingjun, was scratched from under the eye to the corner of the mouth by a scar, which showed a bit of ferocity alive.

"It turned out to be Mei Shilang." Fei Yongchang took a measured look at the person in front of him, and didn't make a gesture of sizing him up. He just glanced at Mei Shao's face, and then turned his eyes away, as if he had known him for a long time. generally.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a servant who speaks so powerfully. It's just that I was celebrating my birthday at Pingdong Hou Taishan's house in the past two days, but the congratulatory gifts were abducted by a snitch. Hushan, I just sneaked into this place with people to catch this thief and make amends to Marquis Pingdong under the orders of the Marquis. I happened to meet Mr. Mei, and there was some misunderstanding."

Fei Yongchang paused, leaned closer to Mei Shao, and said in a soft voice: "The military lords are not close, the servant must have heard about it a long time ago, just now I was in a hurry, so I had no choice but to pretend to be from Fang Zhizhou, so as not to create a rift. "

"The relationship is not close, so Lord Ren is still walking around so tightly?" Mei Shao looked at him with a half-smile, and meant something in his words.

Fei Yongchang straightened the messy corners of his clothes from the fight, and replied flatly, "Pingdonghou's banquet is not worth eating, but his old Taishan's wine is still worth drinking."

As long as the words are mentioned here, it will be meaningless to make a fuss.

Marquis Pingdong is the weakest of these Hou Ye, but he still guards Pingdong all these years without any mistakes, all relying on Sun Zhe's old Taishan Jiang family.Before Sun Zhe succeeded as Marquis of Pingdong, the old Marquis even took some of his sons to the Jiang family to see him in person, and let Jiang Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, choose a husband-in-law.

The Jiang family's organ skills are unrivaled in the world. Over the years, they have not lacked money and influence, but only a little status in the court. Surrounded by wolves, Ping Donghou also wanted to be with Jiang Hu, who is quite prominent in the world. Family marriage, to maintain their position as a military marquis.

The two families hit it off for this marriage, and even the Sun family made a huge step back, secretly agreeing with the Jiang family that the Jiang family's son-in-law would be the best candidate for the next Marquis of Pingdong.This is simply putting the inheritance rights of a military lord in the hands of a woman named Jiang Xiyue.

The Jiang family has no children, and Jiang Xiyue was raised as the heir of the Jiang family. The Jiang family placed high hopes on her and disciplined her very strictly.But Jiang Xiyue is a person with her own opinions. For this predestined marriage, she risked family law and escaped many times. The longest time she ran to Pingdu and hid in her little aunt's house. After more than a month at her husband's house, she was still taken back by the Jiang family.

Her temperament was gradually smoothed out, until she accepted this marriage, the Jiang family thought she would not make any troubles again, until the Sun family brought her, and Jiang Xiyue did it in front of the two elders. The most incredible thing happened.

She chose the weakest son of the Sun family——Sun Zhe, who was born with heart disease, a man who was presumed by doctors to not live a normal life.

As soon as the hammer was finalized, Sun Zhe became her husband-in-law and also became the current Marquis of Pingdong.

When outsiders talk about this absurd marriage, they always want to lament how lucky Sun Zhe is. With the skin of a little boy, he was able to capture Miss Jiang's heart in one go, and become a marquis by mistake. .There are also people who did it deliberately by the Jiang family, in order to allow Jiang Xiyue to take over the power of the Pingdong Hou Mansion and mobilize the army and horses in Pingdong.

The two statements are convincing, but the parties did not make a half-disclosure and distinction, because it is indeed the case.After the wedding, Sun Zheduo recuperated in the mansion, and it was Jiang Xiyue who built the military crossbows and trained troops. The real masters of the Pingdong area have long been the Jiang family.

In recent years, Jiang Xiyue has even applied mechanism techniques to some folk gadgets, whether it is housekeeping or nursing homes, or entertaining and amusing. The business, the birthday feasts for the dignitaries, the defense of the secret room of the powerful officials and the family, all come from the hands of the Jiang family.

Ren Heyu, Marquis of Nanyang, could ignore a weak puppet, Pingdong Marquis Sun Zhe, but he had to pay attention to the vigorous Jiang family.

If Fei Yongchang is telling the truth, and someone who doesn't know what is good or bad has stolen Ren Heyu's birthday gift and fled to Cangzhou, he should indeed give an explanation to the host Jiang's family, otherwise the two military princes would not move around much, and it is inevitable Ren Heyu coming empty-handed would be regarded as a blatant provocation.

Seeing that Mei Shao was a little loose, Fei Yongchang said again: "I have only been in the village for two days. I thought the thief was in this village. It is very easy to catch, but who knows that the village is too big. I will take someone to find it." It took a long time to find such a cave, and when I entered, I met the servant."

After Fei Yongchang explained with a smile, he took a closer look at the attire of Mei Shao and his party. They were all dressed in a concealed and brisk manner. He understood a little bit, and said kindly: "It seems that Mei Shilang is here to perform official duties in Weihu Mountain. Why? , do you need me to help adults?"

"Okay." Mei Shao readily agreed, but Fei Yongchang was taken aback.

"Then what did General Fei detect here?"

In this blind place, it is naturally good for someone to help you wading through the road ahead.If what Fei Yongchang said is true, their goals are not contradictory, and it would be beneficial for both parties to cooperate in this situation, but if Fei Yongchang lied to him, Mei Shao would not mind offending Nanyang Hou, get some truth out of Fei Yongchang's mouth.

"The thief who escaped stole the priceless blood ginseng. He should be regarded as the guest of honor by Lin Hu, but I took people to search the second-floor village, but found nothing. This cave is where Lin Hu is hiding. I found it in Zhenzhen’s warehouse of exotic treasures. Since no one was found on the ground, I wondered if the thief was hiding underground, so I brought people to investigate.”

Mei Shao raised his eyebrows. The people in Nanyang Hou seemed to have some real skills. It must have taken a lot of effort to figure out the second floor in such a short time.

After Fei Yongchang finished his part, he looked at Mei Shao with a smile, as if he was waiting for him to say something in order to make an equivalent exchange.

"I found this secret road on the first floor of the village, and now it seems that it runs through the first and second floors." Mei Shao glanced at the fork in front of the road, and added, "There must be one of them." To the third floor, the three-story villages connected by stone ladders on the surface are all connected by this secret passage in the dark."

"There are not so many roads here, and there are many dead ends. Mei Shilang will know the injuries of the brothers behind me. The hidden weapon of this secret road has no eyes."

It was only then that Mei Shao noticed that among the people behind Fei Yongchang, several of them were covering their arms, looking seriously injured.

"I don't play charades with Mei Shilang anymore. I also went up to the third floor where Lin Hu lived. There is an armory hidden in his back garden. There are much more weapons there than those in the Cangzhou official uniform."

Fei Yongchang's eyes showed a little sincerity: "I know what Mei Shilang wants to do when he sneaks into Weihu Mountain. I can give Mei Shilang the structure of the two floors, the distribution of guards and the route of shift. These are my sincerity."

"what do you want?"

Fei Yongchang unreservedly revealed all his trump cards, which made Mei Shao intuitively realize that he was just probing. He already knew where this secret road leads, and he pretended to exchange some information with himself, just to draw out his true self. want something.

"Cooperation." Fei Yongchang narrowed his eyes, and he revealed his calculations without concealment, "The soldiers and horses in Cangzhou are outside, and Weihu Mountain is already in Mei Shilang's pocket. I want it, but It is through the power of Mei Shilang to help me catch that little thief so that I can return to Lord Hou."

He paused, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a bit of helplessness in his words, "Also, save the lives of my brothers."

Glancing at the injured man behind Fei Yongchang, Mei Shao sneered, "General Fei should know that I can also get the information you can find out by myself, but it will take some time, but keep it." You guys also need to catch thieves, and it will take more than a little time, such a deal is not worth it."

"As I said, the road behind here is full of barriers. Is Mei Shilang really confident that he can pass unscathed?"

Mei Shao didn't say anything, just silently expressing her refusal without reducing the ridicule in her eyes.

"Even if the servant has such abilities, he can't make it through." Fei Yongchang showed his last hole card in a gesture of breaking the boat, "because that road has been blocked by me."

"I just exposed my traces in Lin Hu's back garden, so I took people to hide in this secret path. At this time, he was looking for me all over the hills. After a while, he will think of this secret path and follow the secret path. Find the way. Now the front and the back are blocked, Mei Shilang, we are on the same road, you have no choice."
