Chapter 396 Chapter 399
Why choose this time to kidnap Lei Jiuzhi?

It is likely to be related to "Mo Wei" leaving a book and leaving.It gave people the feeling that they were about to enter the treasure house, so Zhao Deyan had to act first, pinching their throats.

Where would Zhao Deyan hide Lei Jiuzhi?
After the shock, Shen Mu gradually calmed down, contemplating the methods of remedial and counterattack, and faintly felt that he would not go to the Qi Palace halfway, so that he could discover this matter early, which might be the key to turning defeat into victory.

With Zhao Deyan's cunning, he would never keep Lei Jiuzhi in a foreign hotel, not because he was afraid of him and Xu Ziling, but because he couldn't afford to station heavy troops in foreign hotels for long-term defense.

The scene of Xiangyushan leaving the foreign hotel appeared in Shen Mu's mind, and his heart moved, thinking that if Zhao Deyan hadn't been helped by Xiangyushan, he would never have thought of using his saber to confirm his identity.

Thinking of this, I stood up abruptly.

He wants to go to Li Jing immediately, he should be Shen Mu's only hope to quickly rescue Lei Jiuzhi.

Otherwise, this trip to Chang'an will be a complete failure.

In the General's Mansion located in Buzhengfang, Li Jing listened to Shen Mu's narration with a dignified expression, and said: "Mr. Lei did come to me in the afternoon and arranged for Yun Shuai to meet the King of Qin, and Yun Shuai also secretly met with the King of Qin as agreed. We met, and we know that Mr. Lei's captivity should have happened in the past few hours."

Shen Mu, who had changed into another bearded mask, said in a deep voice: "We must rescue Lei Jiuzhi immediately while the enemy's position is not stable. Otherwise, if the enemy asks us about us from him, it will be even worse for us." to the detriment."

On the way to meet Li Jing, he thought through many things.In fact, they did Yang Wen a great favor indirectly by coming to Chang'an Qibao.On the surface, Yang Wenqian mobilized people from Jingzhaolian to help Li Yuanji hunt down the two of them, but secretly he took the opportunity to mobilize people to plot against the Li family.

And their sneaking into Chang'an also distracted the attention of the two factions of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, making Yang Wenqian act cheaply.

Yang Xuyan's use of burning scriptures to deal with Zhang Jieyu can not only remove Dong Shuni's rival for favor, but also make Li Yuan careless about government affairs due to his beloved concubine's strange illness, giving the conspirators an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mu cured Zhang Meiren's illness by mistake, Xu Ziling's Yue Shan raised Li Yuan's vigilance, and the Yingui sect lost the batch of firearms provided by Shen Faxing, causing Yang Wengan's party to be in chaos.

The situation in front of him is really complicated, and none of the parties, including Shen Mu, can figure out the whole meridian.

For example, Dazhi's recent continuous challenge to the masters of Tiance Mansion may also be deceiving and diverting attention.

Li Jing nodded and said, "We must rescue Mr. Lei immediately. The problem is that we only have one chance. If I were Zhao Deyan, the safest way would be to transport Mr. Lei away from Chang'an. Then we would have nothing to do."

Shen Mu said: "So let's act immediately. Zhao Deyan's side is full of Turkic people, which is too eye-catching. To do this kind of thing, you must be a powerful local snake to do it easily. And Zhao Deyan will never let Yang Wengan know about it. The only thing he can rely on, and it is logical, is to ask Xiang Yushan for help, and of course Xiang Yushan will or should be called Xiang Shengchun Chi Shengchun is responsible, so there is no trace of the removal of Lei Jiuzhi."

Chi Shengchun is the big boss of Liufu Casino, and he has the support of Li Yuanji behind him. Only a local power like him can transport people away without anyone noticing under the current tense situation.

Li Jing stood up abruptly, his eyes sparkling and he said: "We will buy this shop. Fortunately, after talking to you earlier, I have been closely monitoring every move of Chi Shengchun and his men, as long as people fall into their hands , Chi Shengchun couldn't wait to send Mr. Lei away from Chang'an, and I am fully sure to rescue him."

The two pushed the door out and immediately stopped in shock.

The pretty red girl stood in the door with an angry face, and said coldly, "Why do you always leave me out about your brothers?"

Shen Mu, Li Jing, and Hong Funv took a shortcut on the mountain road with fast horses in the snow. After abandoning the horses, they carried out the technique of lifting and riding. In a short time, they drove nearly a hundred miles to the upper reaches of another branch of the Yellow River. , more than ten miles to the north is Jingyang, another big city north of Chang'an, and this place is a small ferry outside Jingyang city.

The fault is that Tiance Mansion's eyeliner is widely spread inside and outside Chang'an, and Li Jing does not let go of any actions related to Chi Shengchun. Chi Shengchun will definitely transport Lei Jiuzhi away.

Li Jing made a judgment, affirming that Chi Shengchun transported Lei Jiuzhi to Jingyang for three reasons.

First of all, this passenger and cargo ship traveling between Jingyang and Chang'an is operated by a small gang in Chang'an, the Jingshui Gang. Others don't know the relationship between this small gang and Chi Shengchun, but the Tiance Mansion found out that Chi Shengchun had been involved in money from time to time. Support the Jingshui Gang and help it expand its power.

Secondly, the guard watching Chi Shengchun saw two of Dazhi's capable men who had escorted a carriage to Chi Shengchun's mansion in Beili. When the carriage left, the track left on the snow was obviously shallow.

The third reason is that the cargo ship bound for Jingyang delayed the departure time by nearly two quarters of an hour. It did not leave until Chi Shengchun delivered a batch of goods declared to be silk on board. Two men were also escorted with the boat.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of operation would not attract anyone's attention, but when the Tiance Mansion went all out to track down the whereabouts of the firearms, of course it would not let any goods in and out of the Chi Mansion go unnoticed.

Shen Mu stared at the lower reaches of the water, worried: "Will I miss it by chance?"

Hong Fu Nu was surprisingly kind to him, and said softly: "Don't worry, we sent a letter to Jingyang to inform our people in Jingyang that as soon as the boat arrives in Jingyang, we will board the boat and search immediately."

Li Jing said calmly: "Although we only came after half an hour after the boat sailed, we took a shortcut, and the boat was going against the current, so how could we not catch up? I'm afraid they will play tricks, so we came to Jingyanghe The only ferry in Chang'an is waiting to prevent them from unloading Mr. Lei before arriving in Jingyang."

Shen Mu said fiercely: "Zhao Deyan is really cunning, he knows how to transport people away immediately. Fortunately, I did not go to Prince Qi's mansion on a whim, but went back to see the note and the robe, otherwise I would not know until tonight, it would be terrible."

Hong Fu said: "If this trip succeeds in rescuing him, it will be more interesting if Zhao Deyan comes to negotiate with you later!"

Shen Mu said in astonishment: "I didn't think about this problem, my sister-in-law is really careful."

Hongfu got his praise, and returned it with a smile, saying: "Are you concerned about your good friend? Hongfu is a bystander."

Li Jing was very relieved to see the first signs of improvement in the relationship between the two, and took the opportunity to say: "Your sister-in-law cares about you and asks me about it from time to time, but I dare not say it!"

Hong Fu Nu slightly annoyed: "It's okay, I keep everything from others."

Sensing the gentle side of Hongfu girl, Shen Mu sighed in his heart, what would it be like to meet this brother and sister-in-law in the future?Although he had thought about this problem before, he didn't think about it in detail.Now that the relationship with Li Jing is relaxed, and they are fighting side by side, it feels naturally much deeper.

Shen Mu suddenly said joyfully, "Come on!"

Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu hurriedly looked downstream, but all they saw was darkness and continuous snowflakes.

Shen Mu whispered: "Listen!"

The sound of hooves came from the direction of Jingyang.

Shen Mu said: "Let's hide in the woods next to the ferry, the trucks that will come will definitely come to pick up the goods, this move is really unique, if Brother Li didn't know that there is a ferry here, if he just sent someone to wait in Jingyang, he would hit the enemy cunning."

The passenger and cargo ship finally arrived, the speed of the ship gradually slowed down, and finally berthed at the ferry.

Under the watchful eyes of Shen Mu and the others, two big men unloaded a long wooden box from the boat and sent it to the carriage.

The four strong men who came to meet them, did not wait for the passenger and cargo ship to drive away, and left with the two people who came with the ship, protecting the carriage.

Shen Mu said in a low voice: "Everyone must live, and no one will be allowed to escape."

Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu nodded to express their understanding.

The three of them backed out of the forest and came to a slope before rushing towards the dirt road on which the carriage drove.

There is no one in the four fields, they don't need to cover up and hide, they must use the momentum of thunder to clean up the enemy in one fell swoop.

In an instant, they were speeding along the snow-covered dirt road, and the carriage was galloping a hundred paces away.

The next two riders heard the sound of the breaking wind, and when they looked back, one of them shouted loudly: "Zahu!"

Wuqi immediately fled in all directions, the driver jumped on an empty horse, and kicked the horse pulling the cart heavily, and then escaped.

Shen Mu and the others were in a bad mood. Although they knew that the carriage was loaded with fake goods, they still had to catch up with the carriage that was dragged sideways by the horses and was sprinting along the road.

For the first time, Shen Mu resented himself for not killing Xiang Yushan, only he could have come up with such a sinister plan.

This time he suffered a crushing defeat, no matter how difficult it is to rehabilitate.

Out of the box.

As expected, it was a box of brocade forgings, the genuine goods at a fair price, and children were not deceived.

Except that Shen Mu couldn't see his expression because he was wearing a mask, the expressions of Li Jing and Hongfu Nu were as ugly as they became.

Lost and regained, gained and lost again, hope suddenly turned into despair, the psychological transformation process is the most uncomfortable.

Shen Mu clasped the side of the box tightly with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "How did Chi Shengchun know how to do this trick?"

Hong Fu Nu looked at Shen Mu in surprise, she didn't expect him to ask such a meaningful question so calmly and calmly after being tossed around.

It was too unexpected for Chi Shengchun to play tricks like this, unless he was sure that Shen Mu would follow this clue, so he could plan early.

Li Jing pondered and said: "He wants to test your relationship with Tiance Mansion."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "This may be the only explanation. Because Zhao Deyan and Xiang Yushan have never been clear about the relationship between Tiance Mansion and us, whether they were deceived by us or secretly cooperated, they must find the answer. And suddenly Tiance The government sent people to closely monitor Chi Shengchun, which aroused Xiangyushan's vigilance, so he used this trick to demonstrate to me and find out our relationship, killing two birds with one stone, thanks to that brat Xiangyushan who came up with it."

If Hong Fu Nu was not there, he would have yelled foul language.

Li Jing sighed: "It seems that I have to go back to Chang'an first, on the one hand, wait for Zhao Deyan to come to you to discuss the conditions, and then act accordingly, on the other hand, do everything possible to see if I can find other clues."

Hong Funu interjected, "Will Mr. Lei still be on board?"

Li Jing said: "If they are here, we are waiting for the people in Jingyang to have good news for us. What does Xiao Zhong think?"

Shen Mu said decisively: "I shouldn't be away from Chang'an for too long, let's go back immediately, Xiaoling may have his thoughts."

The three returned to Chang'an by the same route. On the way, they found a healthy horse that had been abandoned earlier, and galloped through the snow.

Like when they came, they still hurried on their way in silence, but their moods were vastly different.

What Shen Mu was thinking at the moment was no longer Duke Yang's treasury, but Xiangyushan, the traitor.

From the moment he met him on the street, he and Xu Ziling were destined to have bad luck.

This son's city is deep, he is scheming, and his ability to deceive people is even better. Anyone who is not on guard will be taken advantage of by him.

Shen Mu made up his mind that as long as he had the opportunity, he would kill him with a single knife, and he would never soften his heart by Yinjie or Xiaolingzhong.

With the style of Yang Xuyan and Rong Jiaojiao, they would definitely not tell Xiang Yushan that they boarded the boat secretly.So Xiangyushan should still not know that they know that Mr. Xiang is in Chang'an and involved in the conspiracy to overthrow Datang.

The dejected Shen Mu and Li Jing rushed back to Chang'an non-stop. Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde were already waiting at the place where they must pass, and they also had a carriage.

Changsun Wuji stared at Shen Mu's fake face, and sighed: "Even though he knew it was fake, he still didn't let Wuji see any flaws, it's really amazing."

Shen Mu said in surprise: "You are not at all surprised why we returned empty-handed, and you still have time to pay attention to other things."

Yuchi Jingde smiled and said: "Because Mr. Lei was rescued by brother Ziling, he is currently resting in a safe place."

Shen Mu was overjoyed, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Ha! There is such a thing?"

Li Jing and his wife didn't believe what they heard.

Changsun Wuji said: "It's not suitable to talk here, young commander, please get on board."

Shen Mu asked in astonishment, "Where are you going?"

Yuchi Jingde said: "King Qin wants to meet the young commander, brother Ziling is also there."

Changsun Wuji added: "Miraculous doctor Mo has been missing for so many hours without any reason, King Qin has already notified the Sha family that he has invited the talented doctor to visit King Qin's mansion, and the young commander will visit King Qin's mansion, which can even clear up people's suspicions. "

Although Shen Mu didn't want to see Li Shimin, he had no other choice in this situation, so he had to get off his horse, change to a carriage, and return to the dangerous place of Chang'an before the city gate closed, and drove straight to Tiance Mansion in the imperial palace.

In the secret room of Tiance Mansion, besides Li Shimin, Shen Mu, and Xu Ziling, there are also Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Jingde as participants.

Shen Mu listened to Xu Ziling's tortuous process of rescuing Lei Jiuzhi, and thought hard: "Who is the person holding the umbrella? Ask Brother Lei after he wakes up, maybe the truth will come to light."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "Since this person knows how to perform such appalling criminal techniques, his intelligence and martial arts are of course not a problem. The most frightening thing is his prudence and caution, and he can predict the possibility of Mr. Lei being rescued. In this way Mr. Lei will never let Mr. Lei see his true face, and even his voice may be fake."

Xu Ziling said: "As long as I hear him again, I can recognize him immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement, because the man was talking with Zhao Deyan and others, and he didn't know that someone was eavesdropping.

Yuchi Jingde's eyes were filled with murderous aura, and he said in a deep voice: "How dare Du Yan be disloyal to the King of Qin, I want to teach him to die without a whole body."

Li Shimin said calmly: "Du Yan is just a soldier, he is not in charge of the important matters of the Tiance Mansion, but the Prince's Mansion always knows our important secrets, so there must be someone from a higher level inside the traitor, we must avoid it." Act rashly and scare the snake."

Xu Ziling said: "Will the King of Qin be afraid that the enemy will use this to attack the King of Qin if he is united with us?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "The current situation is weird and bizarre. In order to get the relic of the evil emperor, all the evil spirits will do everything possible to cover it up for us. On the contrary, the young commander came to my place for no reason and lingered all night. It is difficult to explain the doubt to the prince."

Turning to Xu Ziling, he said, "We are friends of the same generation. Brother Ziling calls me Brother Shimin more pleasantly."

Xu Ziling responded with a wry smile, because he was not sure whether he and Li Shimin were friends or enemies.

Li Shimin said again: "Even if someone informs me, I don't take it seriously. Today, my father asked me to talk secretly, and told me that Badao Yueshan gave him a serious warning. For the restoration of the old dynasty, I am serious, if I can find the evidence, I can defeat Yang Wengan first, and the crown prince and King Qi will not be exonerated."

All the generals in the Tiance Mansion were overjoyed when they heard this, knowing that Li Yuan was really angry at Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji for luring wolves into the house and acting recklessly.No wonder Li Shimin didn't worry much.

Li Jingdao: "Since we know the whereabouts of the batch of firearms, we can follow this clue and follow the clues to obtain personal stolen goods. This will teach Yang Wengan that there is no denying it."

Hong Fu said: "It would be even more ideal if it can be proved that Prince Jiancheng directly participated in this matter."

Li Shimin showed a bitter smile, did not answer, turned to Shen Mu and asked, "Will the young commander give up the idea of ​​finding the treasure?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly: "It seems that now is not the time to discuss this issue!"

This is Shen Mu's rejection of Li Shimin's "peace agreement" again.

Hong Fu Nu showed displeasure, but gave Li Jing a wink to stop her from speaking.

Yuchi Jingde and Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed murderous intent.

On the other hand, Li Shimin didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Before the treasure is released, we are still good friends fighting side by side, right?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Even if we are facing each other on the battlefield, we are still friends at bottom. Here, I would like to wish Brother Shimin to be crowned the crown prince, and drive the Turkic ghosts and devils out of Chang'an."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling left the palace in a carriage. The former was afraid that the imperial guard would hear him, so he gathered his voice together and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for the fact that the devils have their own ghosts, Yang Wenqian would know from Zhao Deyan that you are Xu Ziling. Mo Yixin It's me, I would have guessed that the secret of the firearm might be discovered by us. Compared to this, Shi Zhixuan is in the most disadvantaged position in the fight for the evil emperor's relic."

Xu Ziling sighed: "On the contrary, he should be the one who has the best chance of winning the relic of the evil emperor. Why don't you ask me if you have killed An Long?"

Shen Mu asked in astonishment, "What happened?"

Xu Ziling leaned into his ear and said, "You Niaojuan died on the spot, and Yueshan survived a hard fight."

So he briefly stated the matter.

Shen Mu said: "How do you think of a way, kill Shi Zhixuan first, then the sky will be clear and there will be no wind or rain."

Xu Ziling said: "There is no way at all. When I fought with Shi Zhixuan, I created the method of 'being and not', suddenly being and not being, from nothing to being, and from being to nothing, making it difficult for him to use my ability to transform and see through my reality. Barely appearing to block a few more tricks, without losing Yue Shan's prestige as an old man. But this is still not a good way to break his "immortality seal". How do we do tonight? I have to meet Zhan Dao and so on Don't worry, let them know the latest situation."
