In Lidu Mansion, a storm is coming.
The launching ceremony of the keel boat was suddenly canceled, which caught Song Muchuan off guard, who had been preparing for a long time.
Wanyan Jun seemed to have noticed something, so he cleared away all the craftsmen, and took his people up to carefully inspect the keel boat inside and out.
Fortunately, Song Muchuan was very cautious and Wanyan Jun found nothing.
But while the east is not bright, the west is bright. On another matter, he has made great progress.
Yu Chengjun's song was a knot in his heart, and even became a lingering nightmare. Due to the situation at that time, he accepted the result, but he still felt that there was huge doubt in it.
Usha's death made him vaguely aware that there was a bigger secret hidden under the deep pool of Lidu Mansion.
He doesn't have to admit it, but he wants to know the truth.
So he secretly sent people to dig into the ruins of Hukou Mountain. Even though time had passed and the excavation became very difficult, Wanyan Jun was determined. No matter how hard it took, he would confirm that Yu Chengjun's body was buried in the ruins. here.
This project took a long time, and news would not have come out so soon. It happened that there was a heavy rain recently, which lasted for several days, washing out the sand and rocks in the mountains, revealing the bodies buried inside.
It can be said that man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.
After taking inventory, they found that in the ruins, there were only the armors and clothing of the Yucheng army, and the number of corpses did not match the number.
This is not the best answer for Wanyan Jun, but knowing the truth means taking the initiative.
Hu Kneeling Mountain has searched all over the mountain but still can't find Yucheng's army. It's possible that this group of living people is hiding under their noses.
What channel can transport so many people into the city quietly? Where is the best place to hide people in the city?
Wanyan Jun thought for a while and could only think of the huge shipbuilding project so close at hand.
Thinking back to the fact that Usha clung to Song Muchuan before his death, and Wanyan Puruo sent a message to cancel the water-entering ceremony, the long-standing blockage in Wanyan Jun's mind was finally cleared at this moment - what Usha had burned when he died The purpose of setting up a cabinet is to cover up these clues, fearing that they will be traced out.
It turns out there was something wrong with the shipbuilders!
——
On a cloudy and rainy day, the ground is covered with a layer of sticky mist. In the narrow streets, at first glance, it seems that there are only crowded umbrellas moving forward.
Xie Queshan did not hold an umbrella, and his shoulders were already wet. He was about to take shelter from the rain under the eaves next to the Earth Statue, and took the opportunity to take out the information, but an umbrella was covered above him.
When he turned around, he saw Song Muchuan.
People come and go, and the clear rainwater falls to the ground and blends with the dust. If human footsteps step on it again, it will completely turn into a puddle of muddy water.
But he said: "Chao En, long time no see."
Xie Queshan's hands in his sleeves suddenly clenched - he couldn't believe it, and his whole body was trembling imperceptibly.
He hadn't been so nervous in a long time. Even if his identity is discovered by Qi Ren, he can remain calm and his brain will work quickly to come up with countermeasures. But at this moment, his mind was blank.
He had no idea how to face his old friend.
He even suspected that he had misunderstood. But through the mist, Song Muchuan's vision was clear.
Song Muchuan had vague suspicions before, but there was no evidence. "Yan" was Nan Yi, and he actually believed it at the time.
However, the information from Jinling said that Zhang Yuehui was a Yan, and Nan Yi then nominally remarried Zhang Yuehui and left Lidu Mansion.
Others don't know, but Song Muchuan knows very well that Zhang Yuehui is not from Bingzhusi, and this information is wrong. If you think more lightly, you might just think that Zhang Yuehui was willing to risk his own bright future in order to save his sweetheart.
Song Muchuan took a sip and noticed the weirdness in it.
Since Zhang Yuehui could replace the information, he could intercept the information. They were all on the run anyway, so there was no need to use this death-defying method to save Nan Yi.
Unless there is someone else they really want to save.
Someone must take the name of Yan, otherwise that person will be in danger.
Between the time Wanyan Puruo went to Jinling and the time when the information came back, someone in Lidu Mansion quietly disappeared and came back as if nothing had happened.
Thank you Queshan.
When this idea became more and more intense, Song Muchuan could not sleep all night long. He even wanted to rush to Xie Queshan and force him to answer him, are you a goose? Have you endured the humiliation and burden for so many years? Are we still close friends?
But Song Muchuan did nothing in the end. He asked himself to calm down and not think about it.
He once told Nan Yi that it would be fine if he believed in him. Whoever he is, he must be fighting alongside us in the dark.
If he were Xie Queshan, it would be a help in times of need, but it must not reveal any flaws just because of this incident.
But Song Muchuan still couldn't help but think about whether anyone had asked him, Xie Chaoen, if it hurts in all these years.
He originally thought that he would be silent until the day of celebration, and they would be able to meet again in the joy of victory, and all the conflicts in the past would disappear with the great victory. But the situation suddenly changed and he was forced into a corner. He had to come to see him.
——
There is a large piece of flat land next to the shipyard, crowded with temporary thatched houses. Most of the workers and craftsmen involved in shipbuilding live here. Due to the large number of people, the thatched houses are almost as big as a neighborhood, with intricate paths.
Wanyan Jun led his troops to surround this place.
But the strange thing is that there is no one in every room.
Wanyan Jun became more and more angry after searching until the end. Yu Chengjun actually ran away? In the end, he was still a step too late?
Suddenly, a horn sounded from nowhere, and a fire started. A thatched house instantly burst into flames, and the fire spread to the surrounding area. Suddenly the drums beat loudly, and countless soldiers with weapons jumped down from the thatch hiding on the roof and started fighting with the Qi soldiers.
It's the Yucheng Army!
They are the most ordinary people hiding in the crowd, but when they take up arms, they are soldiers who protect their home and country. They never forget their mission of fighting for a moment.
The enemy has changed and we have changed, and the plan has been advanced.
When the Yucheng army learned that Wanyan Jun was leading troops to surround them, it was too late to leave. The only way to escape was to fight out.
This is a well-trained army that has been dormant for a long time. Within a moment, they decided on their tactics and set up an ambush. They have been sharpening their blades for a long time, and they have already developed the momentum to cut iron like clay. Just waiting for the moment to take it out of the sheath and compete with the enemy.
Wanyan Jun originally wanted to catch Yucheng's army off guard, but he didn't expect that he was ambushed instead. After all, he was not as skilled as Husha in leading troops, and he was killed in a hurry.
The Qi soldiers were defeated, but the reinforcements would arrive soon. The Yucheng army was not willing to fight and quickly withdrew while they had a slight advantage. Hundreds of people dispersed and left, flowing into the streets and alleys, and disappeared in an instant.
Cunning Han Chinese!
Wanyan Jun was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
However, a monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. This huge Lidu Mansion is under his control. What kind of trouble can a group of ants escape?
Wanyan Jun decisively led his troops to turn around and headed towards Wangxuewu.
This time, he was not polite at all. He rushed in like a robber, grabbing everyone he met and smashing everything in sight. He broke into the backyard and roughly dragged Mrs. Gantang out.
The protector of Tang Rong was eager and immediately started a fight with Qi Bing, but in the end he was outnumbered and was finally tied up and thrown into the yard.
Everyone in Wangxuewu was taken together, torture instruments were set up in the courtyard, and Tang Rong was interrogated.
He is a member of the Yucheng Army.
Xie Queshan came belatedly and sat down on the Eight Immortals chair beside Shi Shiran. He frowned and said, "Everything in my house is not cheap. Master Wanyan has smashed so much - you don't have to pay for it, so I can get a share of the credit."
Wanyan Jun was a little wary of Xie Queshan, but his reaction made him quite satisfied.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero.
Xie Queshan's identity is sensitive, but Wanyan Puruo didn't find anything wrong with him when he went to Jinling. Wanyan Jun certainly believed in the judgment of the eldest princess.
Furthermore, Wanyan Jun was a little unbelieving in evil. He only reused three Han people, Zhang Yuehui, Song Muchuan, and Xie Queshan. If one or two of them have problems, that's just a coincidence. It's not like all three have problems, right? So has the Taqi people's camp really become a place where they can come and go freely?
Absolutely impossible.
Wanyan Jun was still angry at Song Muchuan at this moment, wishing he could capture him and the Yucheng army immediately and cut them into pieces, so his guard against Xie Queshan subconsciously relaxed.
"That's natural. Mr. Queshan, I will never forget what I promised you. I will not touch the clan members named Xie, but other than Xie..."
He raised his eyes towards Mrs. Gantang in a suggestive manner. She was forced to sit on a chair and looked a little embarrassed. However, no one tortured her. She was just asked to watch Tang Rong being tortured.
These two are people related to Yucheng's army. They can always get something out of them by killing chickens to scare monkeys.
Xie Queshan calmly withdrew his gaze and said: "Master Wanyan is a gentleman who values his promises. You gave me this humble favor, and I will keep it in mind. How you interrogate me today and how long you interrogate me will not matter. It’s your pleasure and I won’t bother you.”
Wanyan Jun's eyes darkened, revealing a bit of ruthlessness. With a slight gesture, the red-hot iron was pressed into the man's chest.
Tang Rong gritted his teeth and groaned, and his western limbs couldn't help but twitch. The soldering iron makes a sizzling sound as it cools down, which makes people feel terrified.
"Mrs. Gantang, how long your loyal servant will be punished depends on you. As long as you tell me where the Yucheng army is hiding and what their ultimate goal is, everything can be over immediately. .I also promised Mr. Queshan that I would never hurt you."
Wanyan Jun's tone was polite, but in this situation he seemed particularly sinister.
Mrs. Gantang had already burst into tears. She knew that a disaster was coming. The worst thing had happened. At this moment, human flesh and blood and wisdom were small. Whatever they did, they could only hit rocks with eggs. They could not defeat those powerful monsters. .
The most cruel thing is that the enemy gave her the power to stop. She even hated herself for living to this moment. She couldn't see Tang Rong being tortured like this. He was the soldier who pulled her out of the mud. He stayed away from his comrades and the military camp where he fought to protect her. How could she watch him suffer so much?
Her whole body was numb and aching, but she didn't know anything. What could she say?
Even if she knew, she couldn't tell.
She was restless, she was at the end of her rope. Her body was left with only the first sleep, and the blood all over her body rushed to her head. She suddenly broke away from Qi Ren's restraints, rushed in front of Tang Rong, and grabbed the executioner's iron with her bare hands without feeling it was hot. Even the executioner didn't react, his hand loosened unconsciously, and she snatched away the iron and threw it far away.
She opened her arms and stood in front of Tang Rong, crying and shouting: "Come at me if you have anything!"
Wanyan Jun touched his chin and watched this scene with interest.
Xie Queshan sighed helplessly and said to Mrs. Gantang: "Second sister, please don't go up."
Mrs. Gantang stared at him, then took a few stiff steps towards him, her anger almost overflowing.
Xie Queshan thought that he would at least get a slap in the face, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Gantang's feet went weak, and she knelt down and crawled forward, and threw herself in front of him.
This move shocked Xie Queshan.
There was despair in her eyes, and all she could do now was beg him.
"Chaoen, don't be like this, please save him..."
