Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

There was only a quarter of the map, which seemed to be drawn in blood, and it was impossible to tell where it was.

Mo Qianyu nodded to everyone and said seriously: "The General's Mansion has just received it. I will ride a fast horse to deliver it to you. I think it will be of some use."

The notice clearly states that you only have two hours to bring your "things" here to trade, and you will not be waiting after the expiration date.

Jiang Yuzhu stared at a hole in the map. She immediately turned around and asked Xie Zhao, "Master, can you tell where this is?"

In an hour and a half, they must be around the capital.

Xie Zhao is a living map of the capital, so he may have this ability.

"No, there is only one river here, and it is too incomplete."

Xie Zhao looked at the firelight carefully and seemed to be thinking about something: "There are hundreds of rivers in the capital and its surroundings. This person's painting was not rigorous enough and there are no key signs."

If you try your luck with a quarter map, you won't be able to complete it within an hour.

Jiang Yuzhu was not surprised. At first she couldn't even see the map, it was like a ghost drawing symbols.

"Then to find the location accurately, do we need to gather a map?"

Currently, the Mo family has received the map first.

Zhao Fendie has no connection with the Mo family. Is it related to the General Protector's Mansion?

Jiang Yuzhu took a breath and looked at Xie Zhao in shock.

Xie Zhao paused, as if he was considering his words, and then said: "What you think is good, Madam."

In fact, from the process of Zhao Fendie being kidnapped, Xie Zhao had some suspicions that it was indeed like the work of a barbarian.

"Sir, someone shot a dead pigeon in!"

The steward thought the Xie family was being intimidated and looked bad.

The second pigeon is in Xie's house, and there is also a piece of blood-stained silk.

The two maps were put together, but two pieces were missing.

The one and a half hour deadline was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Yuzhu felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Zhao Fendie seems to be involved in some kind of dispute and is related to Manzi.

Barbarian is extremely cold-blooded and kills people like crazy. If he can't get something in exchange, Zhao Fendie will be in trouble.

"Go to Ji Mansion!"

Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao spoke at the same time and looked at each other.

The other party's purpose is not to play with them, but for "stuff".

In this case, the map must be distributed to people who have close contact with Zhao Fendie.

Ji's Mansion is the closest to the road out of the city. They can meet at the entrance of Ji's Mansion, put together the map, and head off immediately.

Princess Yutan followed closely and said: "Yuzhu, then I will go to Qiao Ying's husband's house. If there is a map, I will put a signal bomb."

After everyone discussed it, they set off immediately.

At the same time, Ji Mansion.

Ji Chengyun was cursing in the room when a servant replied: "Look, we received a dead pigeon in our house!"

Ji Chengyun was beaten by Jiang Huaiqing and was bruised all over. He was applying medicinal oil and cursed: "Jiang Huaiqing dares to be so arrogant when he comes to my territory, and threatens me after being beaten? I really can't afford it."

Originally about to tell his servants to throw it away, Ji Chengyun saw something tied to the pigeon's leg with sharp eyes and quickly ordered his servants to take it off.

After a while, Ji Chengyun laughed wildly: "Haha, that bitch Zhao Fendie cuckolded me, is this the day?"

Jiang Huaiqing came to look for someone in the afternoon, and Ji Chengyun was overjoyed to learn that Zhao Fendie was missing.

Now that he had received the map, Ji Chengyun said quickly: "Throw the map into the brazier and burn it. It will be burned completely, and there will be no ashes left! Sprinkle the pigeons with salt and roast them. I want to celebrate, sir. There will be wine. Meat!"

Zhao Fendie deserves what she has today.

Here, after doing everything, Xie Zhao brought Jiang Yuzhu to the door.

The servants of the Ji Mansion have already received the news, and they don't know what to ask: "My master has nothing to do with Miss Zhao. Thank you, sir, and madam, please come back!"

With veins twitching on her forehead, Jiang Yuzhu grabbed the servant by the collar, put a dagger against his neck, and said with a chilling tone: "Are you going to tell me?"

"Hey, Madam Xie, what are you..."

The servant's eyes flickered, and he was clearly resisting.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled coldly and slit the servant's neck with a dagger. Blood droplets spattered: "I will give you one last chance. Don't force me to send you on your way now."

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhu was showing his true feelings, the servant's hands and feet were sore and he said with a mournful face: "Mrs. Xie, please spare my life. My master told me everything. There is a map on the pigeon's foot. My master ordered the map to be burned and the pigeon meat to be roasted." !”

Of the four maps, one was burned by Ji Chengyun and was destined to be incomplete.

There was an unspeakable coldness in Jiang Yuzhu's eyes: "Inform Ji Chengyun to prepare the coffin. If there is any mistake in Pink Die, I will let Ji's family be buried with him!"

In the quiet back street, there was a sudden crisp sound.

Xie Zhao pulled Jiang Yuzhu onto the horse: "Princess Yutan sent a signal, it's too late, let's go!"

In the middle of the night, the horse's hooves pounded.

Princess Yutan met Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu, threw out a map and asked, "How is it? Is there any news from the Ji family?"

"Ji Chengyun burned the map, leaving only three pieces."

On horseback, Jiang Yuzhu leaned in front of Xie Zhao to steady herself and put the three maps together. With her heart hanging in her stomach, she asked with trembling lips: "Master, can you find it?"

The map is incomplete and there is nothing we can do about it.

The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to guard against Ji Chengyun.

"Yu Zhu feels at ease, it's okay for her husband."

Thinking of the mistake he had made, Xie Zhao pursed his lips and explained, "Although there are only three pictures, there is only one valley near the capital that can be reached by a fast horse in one and a half hours."

This time, nothing goes wrong.

There was a three-way intersection ahead. Xie Zhao lit a fire to illuminate it. After identifying the direction, Xie Zhao drove his horse quickly.

The couple rode together, and the saddle space was limited, so they leaned closer together unknowingly as the horse galloped.

Jiang Yuzhu clearly felt Xie Zhao's hot breath lingering on her ears and neck.

Xie Zhao held the reins tightly with one hand and drove the horse, speeding up, and her body would lean into his arms uncontrollably.

Too close, Jiang Yuzhu moved uneasily, trying to distance the two.

Feeling the heavy burden on Jiang Yuzhu's heart, Xie Zhaokai explained: "Yuzhu, Zhao Fendie probably suffered an unreasonable disaster and was not implicated by you."

Officials in the imperial court are well-dressed, but they have another side in private. After traveling among various governments in the capital for many years, Xie Zhao has seen too many duplicitous people.

"Husband, I hope you are in the back house and don't see too many evil people's hearts."

He can withstand the wind and rain outside. Jiang Yuzhu marries him. This is all Xie Zhao can give.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't listen to a word.

Men's promises are the most unreliable, and she can tell a lot of these false words.

It is better to rely on yourself than anyone else. Jiang Yuzhu is extremely sober, but that does not mean that she relies on herself for everything. For Xie Zhao, she can use whatever she can.

From leaving Xie's Mansion to arriving at the valley shown on the map, it was exactly within an hour.

There are several woods and gentle slopes around the valley, and the dark front is a cliff.

In the cliff, there is a single-plank bridge made of hemp rope, which is extremely tight and narrow.

In the middle of the night, the wind blew up in the valley. Under the moonlight, Jiang Yuzhu saw the single-plank bridge swaying in the wind.

On the other side of the single-plank bridge, hundreds of meters away, a cold light flashed from time to time.

"My husband has sent someone to take a detour to the other side. We can't walk on the single-plank bridge. It will take about three or four hours."

The trading location chosen by the other party is indeed convenient for hiding, and our own side is relatively weak.
