Maung-mei is wrong

Nie Yunhan knew that this was actually Guan Pingye's test for him.

If he really wanted to help Guan Pingye, it wouldn't matter if the convoy started sooner or later, as long as Nie Yunhan could meet up near the capital in time.

If he is not sincere, Guan Pingye and Haqin can at least avoid the convoy being robbed and will not affect the overall plan.

Thinking about it now, the two of them got along like brothers and sisters last night, but it was just a scene with their own ulterior motives, and his guilt with Cai Cai last night seemed so ridiculous!

In fact, in the end, Guan Pingye didn't believe in himself, and he didn't believe that Guan Shan would avenge himself by assassinating the emperor. They were all righteous men who died for the country, so how could they easily betray their beliefs? !

Nie Yunhan's face was full of dark clouds. If he said that he was not tired of deceit, then Guan Pingye was indeed unfathomable. Adding Haqin's cunning and scheming, this could be regarded as their real strength!

Zhuo Yingxian was afraid that he would vomit blood again due to exhaustion, so he quickly grabbed his wrist and comforted him: "It's not your fault, how can a person who has a ghost in his heart trust others completely."

Ling Qingbi and Zuo Hengqiu were at a loss, and after looking at each other, Zuo Hengqiu asked: "Old Nie, what happened? Where are you locked up these days?"

Zhuo Yingxian answered for Nie Yunhan: "Guan Pingye dug a big cavity in the mountain at the bottom of Shuangfu Peak, and their lair is there, so they can't find it if they keep an eye on the outside of the mountain." Brother Han asked the team The thing is, it’s because they have transported the warriors used to assassinate the emperor out of the mountain, and we planned to intercept them directly after we came out, but unexpectedly, we were set up by the other party, it seems that they ran away early.”

"Dug out the mountain?" Ling Qingbi's eyes widened, "This man really has ideas."

Nie Yunhan looked at Zuo Hengqiu: "Brother Zuo, how did you arrange it? Did you search around here in rotation? Was it Master Dai and Sister Feng last night? I don't know if they saw the convoy or not."

When Dai Yansheng and Wanlifeng were mentioned, Zuo Hengqiu's usually unruly expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

"What happened?" Nie Yunhan thought of Zuo Hengqiu's words just now, and his heart sank heavily, "You said Song Mingchong set up an ambush at night, did he catch them both?"

Zuo Hengqiu sighed, and said truthfully: "Yes, they were arrested and locked up in Fuya Prison."

Nie Yunhan: "..."

"I don't know why, Song Mingcong suddenly stopped pretending, and he was cruel to us. He could even see through my disguise in the government office. Fortunately, brother Ling suddenly appeared and rescued me, otherwise we would not be able to meet here today. " Zuo Hengqiu said depressedly.

Zhuo Ying thought for a while: "It's not difficult to understand, don't we infer that he is the prince's man? Hirano was also driven by the prince - no, it should be the coincidence of the two - the prince needs the emperor to abdicate, Hirano wants Assassinate the emperor. Previously, Hirano lured Brother Han to come here in every possible way, so Song Mingchong also secretly helped, but the progress of Hirano was not going well, so the prince asked Song Mingchong to supervise and control the red anaconda first. If Brother Han really refused to cooperate, Then catch us all in one sweep, so as not to affect their plans."

What he said was so thorough that the people around him were all silent, the happy reunion just now was washed away without a trace, and the atmosphere became depressed again.

Ling Qingbi sighed helplessly: "That Guan Pingye is so stupid, isn't this a marriage for someone? In the future, if you are not careful, you will be pushed out by the crown prince. We are ordinary people, why bother to be cannon fodder for these powerful people?"

"He was blinded by hatred, he doesn't care about these things at all." Nie Yunhan asked, "Brother Zuo, where is Yu Shu?"

Zuo Hengqiu said: "He and Qin Luoyu are still living in the small courtyard. When I went to him to get the 'wings', I saw that he was in good condition. The young couple are now living together."

"Is there a government official watching outside his courtyard?"

"Well, it's dark under the lights."

Nie Yunhan thought for a while, then sneered and said, "With Song Mingchong, an old fox around, the lights won't be dark. Song Mingchong is still in the same group as Hirano, and Qin Luoyu can be used by him, so he deliberately didn't grab Xiang Yushu, As long as we talk to Yu Shu, he can make Qin Luoyu talk."

"Damn it, are you red boas playing with your mind like this? Are you tired? My head hurts from hearing it." Ling Qingbi scratched the back of his head impatiently, "It's better for us, 'Ling Wing', to just kill people. Don't engage in such detours."

Zhuo Ying said leisurely, it's because your brain is not working well.

"Old Nie, in this situation, what should we do next?" Zuo Hengqiu asked.

Nie Yunhan glanced at the empty mountain road, closed his eyes and thought about it, and opened his eyes after a while and said: "Ping Ye said, they got the transit documents, and they will hire a local caravan to transport the warriors to Beijing as pig iron. He and Ha Qin’s deal was to manufacture large firearms for him, and I’ve seen several of these chariots, which would be disassembled and transported to Duyu territory. So this is transportation in both directions.”

"According to Hirano, the war warriors traveled by land and headed north along the Hongguang Commercial Road, and the chariot part had to travel by water. Although he can't believe what he said, I think Hirano would think that the land route is indeed safe. After all, if the ship is hit in the water If it sinks, the warriors he prepared will be useless."

"So next, we will focus on tracking down the caravan on land. Brother Ling, we will leave it to Brother Kong on the waterway to track down suspicious pig iron gangs, so as not to be deceived by others. mark, don’t pay attention to it, so as not to startle the snake.”

Ling Qingbi nodded: "No problem!"

"Since Song Mingchong wants to escort the prince's great cause, he will definitely keep these convoys on the road safely. If my prediction is correct, the convoy should have left Guiliangfu City by now, and we have to leave the city as soon as possible," Nie Yunhan said. , "We still have to save Master Dai and Sister Feng, so I'm afraid we can only go head-to-head with Song Mingchong."

Ling Qingbi smiled and said: "We are not afraid of head-to-head confrontation, each of us is a man who can stand up to a hundred, and it is no problem to deal with those yamen servants and soldiers."

"Yun Han, if you can trust me, you can take me to act together." Yun Xuzi who had been standing not far away said suddenly.

Zhuo Yingxian was startled: "Master, it's too dangerous!"

Yun Xuzi smiled: "Don't forget what I used to do. I may not be very good at fighting now, but I should still have some ability to detect clues. Besides, my lightness skill is not bad, so I can't hold back."

"Of course I can trust Master." Nie Yunhan said with a smile, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you, Master, this is my red boa brother, Zuo Hengqiu, and this is my friend from the world, Ling Qingbi."

Zuo Hengqiu and Ling Qingbi bowed their hands to Yun Xuzi together.

Yun Xuzi came over and returned the salute to them with a smile: "Old Daoist Yun Xuzi, the fellow of Haqin, the dog thief in your mouth, I was also a Duyu spy 20 years ago. Later, I stayed at Dayao, cut off the mortal relationship, and only kept in my heart A little bit of thinking, one is that my apprentice A Xian can live happily, and the other is that I hope that Duyu and Dayao can really repair themselves, and there will be no more wars from now on."

Hearing what he said, Zhuo Yingxian suddenly felt sore eyes.

"It's not my wish to be involved in this matter this time, but maybe God gave me a chance to settle a bad debt I had with Duyu and Dayao 20 years ago." Yun Xuzi said with a straight face. Feng Qingyun smiled calmly, "However, if the two of you mind my identity, the old man will not dislike me. An Sheng finds a place to hide and waits for you to return after winning."

Zuo Hengqiu hastily said: "Senior, don't say that. Although I don't know much about you, I believe in Lao Nie's judgment. Besides, you can teach Ah Xian to be so upright and reasonable. Senior must be a transparent person. With you If you help each other, I will be like a tiger with wings."

Ling Qingbi also said: "At that time, everyone was their master, but now they have a common goal, so they should work hard together, it doesn't matter if you don't mind."

Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian, and asked his opinion with his eyes, Zhuo Yingxian's eyes glistened, and he nodded slightly to Nie Yunhan.

"Well, Master will act together with us. Later, Master and Brother Zuo will investigate the situation in Guiliang Mansion City to confirm whether the convoy has left. Brother Ling will find a way to send news to Brother Kong." Nie Yunhan said "At night, Ah Xian and I tried to venture into the city to test Song Mingchong's defense. Afterwards, we asked Yu Shu to come out, and together, we found a way to set up a ecstasy array and send the information to Commander Han, hoping that he would You can set up checkpoints on the way the caravan passes, and you have to ask him to send a small team disguised as civilians to come to help."

Zuo Hengqiu asked suspiciously: "Over there at Yu Shu... are you going to use him?"

"Use it, of course you have to use it. He is being watched by others, so it can be used to confuse the other party, but I have to think about the specific plan in detail."

"When are you going to rescue Master Dai and Xiaofeng?"

Nie Yunhan pondered for a moment: "We have to find the right time."

The city was heavily guarded, Zuo Hengqiu and Ling Qingbi did not enter the city for the past few days, but stayed temporarily in the ruined temple outside the city gate, and Nie Yunhan and his party also temporarily went to the ruined temple to take shelter.

On the way back, Ling Qingbi and Zuo Hengqiu also got into the carriage, and now Yun Xuzi was going to drive outside, because it was too stuffy inside.

The four elders packed the small compartment to the brim, Nie Yunhan was still physically and mentally exhausted, so he didn't say much, and asked Zhuo Yingxian to briefly tell Zuo Hengqiu what happened in the past few days explain.

When Zuo Hengqiu heard about the fake Guanshan, he didn't say anything, but Ling Qingbi stared and said, "This Guan Hirano, don't you be crazy? Can you still do things like this?! He's not afraid that his father will know about it, so turn around Do you not recognize his son?"

Nie Yunhan lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes, covering the dark circles under his eyes that had been born in the past few days. He said lightly: "Besides missing the adoptive father too much, maybe he thinks that moving the adoptive father out will not be easy for me. I won't struggle anymore, and I will definitely go with them to assassinate the emperor."

"He underestimated Guan Ye, and he also underestimated you." Zuo Hengqiu said, "Old Nie, does that person really look like Guan Ye?"

Nie Yunhan nodded weakly: "Like, I really thought it was him at first."

After all, he also hopes that his adoptive father is still alive, even if there is only a slight possibility.

Zuo Hengqiu sighed deeply: "At that time, you must have felt very uncomfortable. If Lord Guan helped the Duyu people to deal with Dayao, no matter what the reason was, it would appear that we red boas are just a joke."

Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan, saw that his closed eyelashes were slightly wet, and held his hand distressedly.

Ling Qingbi thought for a while, then suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Hey, Lao Nie, if that person is really Guan Ye, how will you treat it?"

Before Nie Yunhan could reply, he kicked Zhuo Yingxian hard on the calf: "Hiss, why are you moving again?"

Zhuo Yingxian stared at him with great disdain: "You have also been a soldier, if you were to change places, what would you do? Thanks to you asking!"

"Me?" Ling Qingbi leaned back into the carriage with folded arms, and said generously, "I was raised by nature, and I grew up eating a lot of food. I have never experienced any kind of family relationship, and no one can use this to control me. Life, what? Feelings are a burden, and I have brothers enough. I was forced to join the army. I am not as loyal and courageous as you red boas. There will always be people taking turns in the country. Commander, after leaving the army for so many years, now I am only loyal to my own heart."

He glanced at Nie Yunhan, and said with a smirk: "Brother Nie is still amazing, I can't stand a beauty like you, little pepper. I hope God has mercy on me, don't arrange any rotten peach blossoms for me, and let me live in peace for the rest of my life." How nice."

Zhuo Yingxian smiled without smiling: "God will surely fulfill your wish."

The solemn atmosphere in the carriage was diluted a lot by Ling Qingbi's gags, Zhuo Yingxian hugged Nie Yunhan to let him continue to rest, Ling Qingbi and Zuo Hengqiu chatted in a low voice from time to time, the carriage soon arrived at the ruined temple where they lived.

Nie Yunhan was concerned about Guan Pingye who was taken away by Meng Chuang and Gao You, and wanted to go to Linyuan to find their traces, but was stopped by Zuo Hengqiu.

"If Hirano had returned to the city, I'm afraid Song Mingchong would have known about your escape long ago, and he must have set up a net to catch you, so don't force yourself forward." Zuo Hengqiu said, "Brother Ling and I will help you out." You go for a while, anyway, I know the place well, you two should follow the original plan and wait until it gets dark before entering the city."

Nie Yunhan thought about it, and then he went with him, and he felt that the possibility of Guan Pingye staying in Lin Yuan to wait for him was almost non-existent, so there was no need for him to make this trip.

---

Sure enough, as he expected, Zuo Hengqiu and Ling Qingbi came back not long after they left, and told Nie Yunhan that there was no trace of human activities in the forest garden, and he also checked the darkroom of the underground office, and there was no one there.

Zhuo Yingxian asked Zuo Hengqiu to buy a knife from the city for Yun Xuzi to use, and at the moment he wiped the knife and asked, "Is Hirano hiding in other darkrooms? Wangxing didn't explain the whole underground mechanism to us before." overall structure."

"No. The most important thing is to transport the warriors now, and Hirano will not stay here. Besides, no one wants to hunt him down, and there is no need for him to hide underground." When he came out of the mountain, he felt that the temperature rose suddenly, and it was extremely hot. , everyone just lit the candlesticks, Nie Yunhan was so hot that he was sweating all over, he leaned against the corner, trying to steal the cool from the wall, "Besides, he was cheated by me, he should hate me even more, he won't listen to me Waiting there."

The corner of the wall was dimly lit, Nie Yunhan's brows were blurred, his voice was low, and he looked very lonely and sad.

He knew that he shouldn't let Guan Pingye leave, but at that time he was at his wits' end, and after he cut down the fake Guan Mountain, Meng Chuang and Gao You might not be able to cooperate, so he could only do important things first and run out. He intercepted the warforged convoy, but he didn't expect that he would be put in the same way.

Zhuo Yingxian saw what was on his mind, walked over and sat beside him: "He is full of hatred now, he can't tell who is a good person and who is a bad person, don't think too much about it, and don't feel that you have cheated him and feel uneasy, wait for something to happen." After it's over, talk to him carefully, you are protecting the reputation of Lord Guan, and when he understands it, he won't blame you."

"But Guan Hirano is really not a mortal. I think the underground mechanism he designed is amazing. If I really fall into it, I'm not sure I can escape." Ling Qingbi sat on the other side, holding a bowl I took a big mouthful of water, then wiped the water stains around my mouth with my sleeve, and said with a bold smile, "There is also a humanoid armor, I don't know where it was poked, and it started to move, and it took a few steps forward, Almost fucking scared the shit out of me."

Nie Yunhan said: "That is the mechanism puppet that my adoptive father wanted to make before, and it can move by itself."

Reminiscent of the little puppet that Guan Pingye said killed his mother, he also understood why Guan Shan wanted to be a puppet.A wind-up puppet can dance, and a mechanism puppet can do much more.

"Really? It's amazing." Ling Qingbi said, "But I think the head in the armor is empty, enough to hold a person, can this thing be worn?"

Nie Yunhan explained again: "Pirano was born with a leg problem. My adoptive father once thought of making a mechanism that can be worn on his leg to support his broken leg so that he can walk without exertion. Maybe Hirano studied this set of armor. This is the intention, since the mechanism can replenish the part of his lack of physical strength, then it can be done more powerfully, and after wearing it on the body, it may become infinitely powerful."

"It sounds similar to the use of 'wings', it's to make up for what we mortals can't do, right?" Zuo Hengqiu said.

"Well, but our wings still have to be driven by hand levers. Hirano has almost realized half of what my foster father envisioned, adding power to it." Nie Yunhan said with some regret, "If you take a few sets of 'flame fire' with you when you run away It would be good if the wings come out, so that you can fly in the sky with your hands free, and you can shoot arrows at the ground."

Zhuo Ying laughed casually and said, "Sister Feng must like this thing."

"What 'Fire Wing'? Why do I sound so awkward?" Ling Qingbi laughed, "Is this going to burn our spirit wings? But why do I feel a little hungry after hearing this?"

Zuo Hengqiu also laughed: "I think you want to eat chicken wings!"

"'Fire Wing' is not safe. It's a good thing you didn't bring it out." Yun Xuzi had been listening to them chatting, enjoying themselves without interrupting, but now he suddenly spoke.

Nie Yunhan immediately sat up straight: "Master, why do you say that?"

"The steam engine Guan Pingye made has been blown up many times, and it has killed and injured many people during the test flight." Yun Xuzi said, "Think about it, it's like carrying my pill stove to the sky. Impatience, refused to adjust many times, and the Fire Wheel Dan itself is not stable. Either it will misfire directly, and the people who fly up will fall from the sky, or it will explode due to overheating, and people will be killed or injured from the air. The only thing to do is to fall and die. In fact, it has become more stable in recent days."

Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan looked at each other: "It seems that we were lucky last time."

"So, it's better to stay on the ground to be safer." Ling Qingbi sighed, "It's better to wear the armor. If you put it on, you will have infinite power and invulnerability, and it will be more advantageous in positional warfare."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Yingxian had an idea: "Brother Han, is that what Hirano said about the warriors? Isn't he very confident in assassinating the emperor? He is willing to let you go. It seems that he thinks that you will definitely be able to kill the emperor." If you retreat completely, will using this armor increase your chances of winning?"

Nie Yunhan thought for a while: "But brother Ling is right. This thing is popular in battles, comparable to the Iron Buddha Tu, the opponent of the previous dynasty. But if you use it to attack the city, it is not easy to use. Besides, the wall of the forbidden palace is more than three feet high. How can I climb over wearing this thing? Surrounded by people on the spot, with a net, I can only catch it with nothing."

"What if Hirano assassinates the emperor while he is away?" Zhuo Yingxian said again, "Since there is a prince who cooperates with others, maybe he will find an excuse to let the old emperor go out of the palace."

Zuo Hengqiu shook his head: "I don't think it's right. After putting on the armor, although it is powerful, it is also invulnerable, and can even withstand firecrackers, but after all, it is inconvenient to move. Even if a person can quickly escape after completing the assassination mission, but What about before the assassination? The action was bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, before approaching the snake. The emperor travels with a lot of guards, even if he didn't bring a net, he could restrain the armor with a rope."

Ling Qingbi patted Zuo Hengqiu's shoulder: "That's reasonable, we do assassination, we pay attention to traveling lightly, I don't think that armor will work."

"Well, I don't think it's possible to put that armor directly into battle, but it can't be ruled out that Hirano made other changes, otherwise it wouldn't be called a war warrior." Nie Yunhan looked out the window, saw the darkness of the night, and said, "It's about the same time. Alright, let's act."
