Nan Yi suddenly woke up and finally woke up. He touched his neck, but there was nothing strange. Look at the bucket of cool water under him, without any blood.
Only then did Nan Yi confirm that he just had a nightmare.
But nothing happened, doesn't it mean that Xie Queshan let her go? Nan Yi looked at the bruises on his body thoughtfully... In fact, the man in black last night was not too harsh.
Maybe Xie Queshan just wanted to punish her? Nan Yi made random guesses, but gradually it became clear in her heart that she should have escaped.
She got up to change her clothes, and after thinking for a moment, she decided to go find Xie Sui'an.
Xie Sui'an was placed under house arrest in his room, lying on the bed wilted.
"Sixth sister."
Hearing Nan Yi's voice, Xie Sui'an got up from the bed.
She and her own mother had already quarreled so much last night that they no longer wanted to quarrel. She told Lu Jinxiu about the righteousness of her family and country, but Lu Jinxiu told her that your wings were strong. She told Lu Jinxiu that her third uncle was righteous, but Lu Jinxiu said that you are a woman. The child will not be able to get married if his family is unruly and unruly.
In fact, it is difficult to communicate with each other.
Finally, someone of his own came here. Xie Sui'an became more energetic and eagerly held Nan Yi's hand.
"Sister-in-law, the situation outside is already very bad."
Nan Yi often felt that compared to Xie Queshan's calm expression, Xie Sui'an's emotions and anger were too clearly written on her face, and her mind was too rigid. Sometimes it gave people the illusion of playing house, but her martial arts skills were real. He is so superb and his heart is so sincere. Even if Lidu Mansion turns into a battlefield, you have no doubt that Xie Sui'an will be the first to charge with a gun.
"Xiao Liu, don't worry, please tell me in detail." Nan Yi wanted to talk something out. Although Xie Sui'an was locked in the room, her information should not be lost.
"Wanyan Jun is the Qi man who brought Ling Fu Diji into the city yesterday. He is the younger brother of Daqi Prime Minister Han Xianwang. It can be said that he is the most trusted person of Han Xianwang. The reason why he came to Lidu Mansion this time is actually to Shipping Department—Let’s put it this way, Lidu Mansion was peacefully occupied by the Qi people. They wanted to use a gentle policy to conquer the prefect and befriend our Xie family, all for the sake of the Shipping Department.”
"They want keelboats?"
"right."
Only now did Nan Yi realize that Usha was making a fool of himself and exerted pressure on Lidu Mansion with ruthless methods, which aroused public outrage. The literati criticized him both verbally and in writing. The shipbuilding department went on strike and refused to build ships. The relationship between the Han people and the Qi people deteriorated to the extreme.
At this time, Wanyan Jun came to the city to become a popular person. As long as he showed a little kindness, he would appear to be generous and generous, and with Ling Fu Diji by his side, he would be even more able to win people's hearts.
The third uncle is a chess piece in Qi Ren's hands. Torturing him can arouse everyone's anger, and letting him go can make everyone grateful. After several back and forths, Qi Ren can easily exchange for some conditions that are beneficial to them.
Xie Sui'an said with a serious look on his face: "So Third Uncle must be rescued, otherwise the Shipbuilding Department will be constrained by others and will eventually have to compromise to build ships for them."
"Xiao Liu, you are locked in the room, how do you know this?"
"Sister-in-law, do you still remember the singer you saw at the Huachaoge Banquet? Her name is Chang Yan, and she is my contact person in Bingzhusi. She passed this information to me. I dare not tell others. , but Chang Yan will definitely not be a traitor, and she can also help us with our actions."
Nan Yi nodded. The singer was indeed from Bingzhusi. She was right. Knowing that Xie Sui'an still had reliable helpers outside, she felt a little more confident.
She had to help Xie Sui'an rescue her third uncle so that Xie Sui'an could be free to help her.
Nan Yi pulled Xie Sui'an to the desk and asked her to help him grind ink. She drew half of the city defense map based on her memory.
Her talent lies in her photographic memory. Even if she only took a quick look in the dark last night, she remembered everything she saw.
Although Nan Yi's painting skills are extremely poor, Xie Sui'an is very familiar with Lidu Mansion, and with a little understanding, he can understand what Nan Yi is painting.
Xie Sui'an was very surprised: "Sister-in-law, how did you get the city defense map?"
"There's still half of it left. I'll try to find a way to go to Xie Queshan's place to take a peek. But after this task is completed, I want Sixth Sister to do something for me."
"Sister-in-law, just say it."
"Lidu Mansion was not the place I wanted to stay, but I didn't expect Brother Xie to suddenly die of illness, and all my plans were disrupted. I was originally a member of Jinling Bingzhu Division, and I need to return to Jinling, but now I am trapped in Xie family..."
Nan Yi decided to go to Jinling after careful consideration.
She used to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and she even boasted that she would go north to find Zhang Yuehui, but after all these twists and turns, she realized that with her meager strength, she was unable to fight against the world.
She wanted to settle down in a safe place first, and then slowly look for Zhang Yuehui, and Jinling, where the new imperial court was located, must be the safest place at the moment.
Xie Sui'an thought for a moment and then agreed: "It's not difficult. The Xie family are all women now. Just hide it from Xie Queshan's eyes. I will take care of it."
"Also, my identity cannot be known to anyone, including Chang Yan."
——
In the afternoon, Nan Yi went to knock on Xie Queshan's door.
In order to prevent him from being murderous, she entered through the front door this time. She had to let the Xie family see that she went to find Xie Queshan. If she died violently, it must be Xie Queshan who did it.
Xie Queshan opened the door, and the afternoon sunshine poured on him. He didn't invite Nan Yi in, nor was he in a hurry to speak, he just looked at her.
Seeing his appearance, although he didn't say anything, the strange feeling in Nan Yi's heart became more certain - he would not kill her.
Nan Yi took a deep breath, got straight to the point, and made the first move: "Show me the city defense map, and I'll let you beat me up again. I won't run away tonight."
Although he was well aware of all her actions, Xie Queshan was slightly stunned by these words. He looked her up and down.
"Why?"
"The people in Bingzhusi are very good at hiding. They used various identities to disguise themselves as ordinary people and hid in Lidu Mansion. It happened that Xie Xiaoliu said that Bingzhusi's underlings were planning to save the third uncle, so I had to help them steal the city defense map. They will start taking action as soon as possible, won't this help you, Master, to force them out and catch them all in one go!"
Nan Yi spoke truthfully, with his loyalty to serve you written all over his face.
Xie Queshan smiled: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Nan Yi hesitated for a moment and then said in a weaker tone: "I didn't... I was afraid that the young master wouldn't trust me, so I was anxious to express my loyalty to the young master."
"If I didn't trust you, how could I let you live until now?"
Heh, I'm afraid he never believed her, he was just confident that her tricks wouldn't threaten him. He is a madman who likes to play with people and watch them jump up and down.
There was still a smile on his face: "Thank you, Master, for your trust! Since Master trusts me, don't you need to beat me up? You can show me the city defense map first?"
"Are you asking me to be your accomplice?"
...No matter what you say, it’s wrong. What on earth does he want? !
Nan Yi sneered: "I don't dare, a villain."
Xie Queshan said matter-of-factly: "Peeping can only be your personal behavior. If you are caught, you will be punished. Otherwise, I will become your accomplice, which will bring me trouble."
Nan Yi gritted his teeth: "Then it's still the same place tonight?"
Xie Queshan nodded like a spring breeze.
——
It's night, everything is silent.
Nan Yi came to the dark alley alone. She looked a bit bloated, and her chest, back, knees, and arms were all tied with thick pads, so that she would be less stressed when she was beaten later.
But there was no one in the dark alley. Nan Yi waited and waited, feeling a little confused. Could it be that Xie Queshan was just teasing her?
Suddenly, there was a sound of piercing the sky in the darkness. Nan Yi raised her head warily, and a stream of arrows shot past her ear and nailed into the ground.
Nan Yi's eyes widened and he quickly pressed against the wall with vigilance. The next second, flying arrows from the sky were shot towards the dark alley.
This is not a beating, this is killing her!
——You are unkind, so don’t blame me for being unjust. Nan Yi ran away without hesitation.
Various soft pads were tied to her body, which greatly restricted her movements. She had to throw away the baggage while running.
...Another night of cat-and-mouse game becomes more dangerous.
