Chapter 92 The Mysterious Woman (1)
"The location of the ambush is very important. If you can really lure out King Jin, where will you choose to meet him?" Wei Canghao asked her.
The silk Fengxiang lamp was turned on, and the dim light became bright again. In the bedroom, Xu Shanshan took out the map of Longqiu that Maomao had stolen from Prince Jin's palace. She had circled it with red cinnabar. several prominent locations.
"I have calculated all these places. In three days' time, Tiande will be the best for us. According to the numerology pattern, it will be the most favorable position for us. You can choose one to set up an ambush."
She said He looked sparse and ordinary, and he should be a "habitual offender", but Wei Canghao had a dumbfounded expression when he heard this.
How else can you choose a location in such a confusing way?
It can only be said that he is indeed the apprentice of the divine fortune teller. Things that can be calculated by relying on heaven's secrets will not be troublesome and time-consuming.
Wei Canghao doubtfully placed the map on the table covered with floral cloth, and leaned over to analyze the location she circled.
The first is Tuobi Island, which is an uninhabited island relatively close to Longqiu. After landing on the island, as long as you destroy the boat, you will have nowhere to escape in the vast ocean. It is the best place to dump your body and bury all traces.
Then there is Longqing Temple, high on the mountain. People who pray to God and Buddha will go there to burn incense and make wishes on certain days, but few people go up the mountain on weekdays. This mountain is vast and densely wooded, and the killing is extremely secretive. good.
Finally, there is Yaguan. The winding terrain is condescending, with the ancient customs road reaching into the sky. It is surrounded by Chongshan Mountain in the north and the sea in the south. It is very dangerous and is also a good place to set up ambushes and traps.
"How is it?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Shanshan asked.
He took a deep breath and looked at her unexpectedly: "...They are all good."
It was so good that he had a hard time making a choice.
This was the first time that he felt that the combination of fortune telling and strategy could not only be more powerful, but also achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Shanshan understood his hesitation, she smiled understandingly, and then gave a suggestion: "It's better to just go to the customs."
"Why?"
Wei Cang At this time, Hao actually had a choice in his heart, and it was also Yahaiguan, but he wanted to hear her reasons.
“You are the overlord of the sea, and the sea has the effect of enhancing your luck.”
Her reason is indeed very "Xu Shanshan".
Wei Canghao stared at her quietly. As the flames jumped, the red-orange light emitted soft light, and their figures intertwined in the light and shadow.
He came closer to her, her tall body was thick and powerful, and she was slightly arched. He wanted to see clearly what wonderful secrets were hidden in her quiet and fearless eyes.
"Then why not choose Tuobi Island? It is surrounded by the sea. Wouldn't it be better?"
His tall nose is like a mountain, and his thick sword eyebrows are slightly raised, giving him a cold and solemn look. The aloof face added a bit of fatal charm.
Xu Shanshan did not avoid him, she met his eyes, still smiling on her lips, but a dangerous and strange "qi" quietly wrapped around Wei Canghao, and an instinct for danger jumped from the spine to the sky. It made his pupils suffocate.
"That's okay," she said.
Wei Canghao straightened his body and no longer faced Xu Shanshan with a strong and aggressive attitude. Just now, he felt a chill all over his body, as if he was crawled by thousands of poisonous spiders, as if he was trying to annoy him The woman in front of him would be chewed to pieces by "them" and she would die in an ugly way.
“Actually, I also think Haiya Pass is more suitable.” He returned to the topic.
Xu Shanshan took a step forward towards him, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"How to say?"
Now the situation has changed, and she has become the one who needs him to give a reasonable and satisfactory answer. In the silent game between the two, Wei Canghao obviously chose to "step back" "step.
He only took one step, and he stood still. His steady figure was perfectly outlined by his simple and tight-fitting clothes, which perfectly outlined his slender and straight legs and tight and strong waist.
And Xu Shanshan did not continue to press, as if what she wanted was this step from him.
"Haiya Pass is more convenient for ambushing people than the other two places in terms of terrain. The soldiers I train are all sailors and are better at the sea..." He pointed to the south of the Shanghai cliff on the map: "If we lead people here, they can climb the cliff from the rear and ashore, intercepting and ambushing King Jin's troops in a silent way."
"Then why not choose Tuobi Island? It is surrounded by the sea. Isn't it better?"
She repeated the same question exactly.
Wei Canghao knew that she did it on purpose, but he still told the reason: "It is precisely because it is surrounded by the sea that it is difficult to hide. King Jin will definitely assess the situation before going to the island. If he cannot When he was lured to the island, the plan came to nothing."
Obviously, it is a rare thing to work with a partner who has a clear mind and is not afraid of difficult prospects.
Xu Shanshan sat down leaning on the table, first poured a cup of tea for himself, and then poured a cup for him: "That makes sense, then I'll ask Mr. Wei Da to arrange the next thing. Is there enough time? ”
He also sat down and stared at the cup of tea that she poured herself. A secret joy arose in his heart, but for a moment, he suppressed that joy again.
"There is no problem in terms of time, but have you ever thought about...no matter whether you succeed or not, what should you do next?"
After a busy day outside, he took a sip of warm tea into his throat. Only then did I feel how dry my throat was.
What they did will eventually be exposed. If they killed King Jin, how could his relatives, his army, and his staff just let it go? How should we deal with their crazy revenge?
After all, the Wei family did not have the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of King Jin, nor did they have the power to mobilize the entire Longdong local army and government troops to suppress them.
Xu Shanshan saw his serious expression, but showed no signs of retreating. This meant that he had analyzed the pros and cons and the risks he would face.
He is also a courageous person. Even if he faces difficulties, he will not choose a path of shame and violation of his heart.
"What you are worried about will never happen."
Xu Shanshan sat sideways on the stool, no longer communicating with Wei Canghao, her sight and thinking seemed to have been extended In the more distant future: "What you follow and what you expect will eventually come..."
She paused for a moment, as if she was summarizing her words, but the next sentence instantly changed Wei Canghao's original words. The calm inner lake was stirred up into turbulent waves.
"I won't let you choose the wrong one, do you believe it?"
——
The night was deep, but Wei Canghao, lying on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
He rested his arm on his head, thinking about Xu Shanshan, the person in front of him, and the person he once was.
It’s different, completely different.
When Wei Canghao learned that he had a fiancée, he also had a vision of what kind of person she was. He was trained by his family to be the head of the Wei family since he was a child, and all that was instilled in his mind was to revitalize and sacrifice for the family. Thought.
So his requirements for his future wife are very simple. She does not need to be beautiful, virtuous, or even have feelings for him, but she must be a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. He has his own ambitions and ideals, and he will definitely not be a qualified man who asks for help, so his wife cannot be an ordinary woman.
It would be best for her to have a gentle breeze blowing on the hills, a bright moon shining on the river, and a strong mind that can adapt to all changes.
However, when he saw "Xu Shanshan", he was disappointed.
It was like she was possessed by a body of resentment. No matter how innocent and innocent she pretended to be in the early days, he could see at a glance that she was actually a narrow-minded and greedy person who wanted everything.
Such a person is like a wandering ghost. Whoever gets entangled with her will not only be unlucky, but will also have unpayable debts.
Therefore, this was the first time that he had disobeyed the family's wishes and insisted on Xieshan breaking off the engagement with her.
But after breaking off the engagement, Xu Shanshan was completely different. It was not the false pretense in the past, but different from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't tell or describe this feeling. He seemed to see a powerful soul that he had dreamed of in that dismissive body.
No matter how the world changes and the color of heaven and earth changes, she can live her life well without being disturbed by the noise of the world, control the overall situation with a steady and strong mind, and walk the path she wants to take.
Can a person really become so thorough?
Or...she is not Xu Shanshan at all?
But for a woman like Xu Shanshan, after she loses the protection of the divine fortune teller, who will replace her worthless woman?
What does the other party want?
Wei Canghao sat up suddenly when he thought of this, like a thunder exploding in his mind. She couldn't be Tu...him, could she?
He suppressed the twitching corners of his mouth with a very serious expression, rubbed the jade ring on his hand with his fingertips, and then slowly lay back on his back.
"Why rush to find out the result? As long as she has a plan, things will always come to light and the truth will be revealed."
——
Chi Jiangdong has arrived Longqiu has been monitoring the Wei family courtyard for several days.
He was very patient and resilient. He ate the steamed buns when he was hungry, and fetched water from the well when he was thirsty. He refused to take a step away. In short, he wanted to find out what Xu Shanshan and Wei Canghao were doing.
On this day, he saw a man in black flying out from the courtyard wall. His figure looked a bit like Wei Canghao. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he also stood up and walked along the way. Following the other party to the vicinity of Prince Jin's Mansion, the man in black disappeared.
Not long after, he heard urgent footsteps coming from Prince Jin's Mansion, saying that they were trying to catch some suspicious person who had sneaked into Prince Jin's Mansion to do evil things.
He was startled and was about to retreat, but unexpectedly, people from Prince Jin's Mansion pulled over several black-skinned point-eared hounds.
This kind of hound is best at hunting. They sniffed everywhere and finally caught his hidden breath and barked loudly towards his location.
Since it was his first time to visit Prince Jin's Mansion, Chi Jiangdong lost track of him and could only run away based on instinct. However, it was obvious that the other party had a hound, and he would be followed no matter where he fled.
The inner city was full of pursuers, and all the main passages in the outer city were blocked and closed. Chi Jiangdong was like a blind fly. Just when he thought he was about to be chased, he lit up. His lucky star has been with him since childhood.
He jumped over the outer wall and came to the main street. The market that was bustling not long ago seemed to have been emptied out. It was silent except for the ruts crushing the bluestone slabs. The crisp sound of sprinkled skewers.
But Chi Jiangdong didn't notice the strangeness for the first time. He saw a luxurious and special carriage slowly approaching on the street, and got in.
As soon as the gauze curtain as thin as cicada wings was lifted, the bell made a clear and sweet sound, echoing in the air, with a lingering sound. There was a woman in white sitting inside, sitting in a strange meditating way. With his eyes closed.
"Sorry, can you let me hide for a while?"
Chi Jiangdong had already heard the barking of dogs and the movement of a large number of troops pursuing him.
At this time, the other party slowly opened her eyes. She had a pair of very strange and beautiful eyes. The pupils were so dark that even looking at these eyes could make people ignore her. A face that is so beautiful that it makes people lose consciousness.
“Listen.”
A clear voice came from outside: “Your Majesty.”
"What's going on?" the woman asked.
"It's people from the Jin Palace. They are chasing this guy..."
Chi Jiangdong quickly explained: "I'm not a bad person, really, it's just...if you find it troublesome, I Leave immediately."
When he got on the carriage and saw a single woman in the car, Chi Jiangdong felt something was wrong. When he turned around, the woman said, "You can stay."
Then she waved her hand, and the gorgeous silk and satin covering the entire carriage was lifted up by a stream of air. The colorful patterns embroidered on it shone charmingly under the sunlight.
Not knowing what she did, Chi Jiangdong clearly saw that the pursuers of Prince Jin's Mansion were clearly in front of him, but they couldn't see their carriage at all, so they just passed by and left.
"Mr. Chi, how did you provoke the people in Prince Jin's Mansion?"
The woman deliberately lowered her voice and asked him in a calm voice.
Chi Jiangdong heard her call out his last name and immediately became alert: "How do you know my last name is Chi?"
"Of course I know."
The smile on her face was very strange at this time, as if it should not appear on such a dignified and sacred face, and her whole person had the illusion of being divided.
"Listen, continue your journey."
"Yes."
As soon as the carriage started, it seemed to rise into the sky, and the wind blew the curtains of the carriage, like snow. Colorful petals floated outside the car, and a strange fragrance invaded people's nostrils.
Chi Jiangdong looked outside through the curtain of the carriage and was surprised to find that the carriage was not pulled by horses, but by more than a dozen men and women in white clothes without any trace of color. They lifted the carriage and flew into the air. Then he jumped over the eaves and walked over the wall and left the original place.
At this time, they seemed to be immortals who were above the mortal world, enjoying themselves in the clouds.
His Adam's apple tightened: "Where are you taking me?"
"I saved you, but you are so guarded against me. Do you think I am a bad person?" the woman said casually. Ask him.
Having been exposed, Chi Jiangdong felt a little embarrassed and guilty. He immediately said seriously: "No, I didn't mean that. I... Chi Jiangdong is here. Thank you girl for helping me just now."
The handsome young man in front of him has a slender figure, as tall and straight as a bamboo, with sharp edges and corners yet soft. The fragrance inside the car and the soft petals create a warm light that makes his skin glow. There was a faint halo, so delicate that even the woman felt jealous.
The woman looked at him, a possessive light flashed deep in her eyes, her crimson lips pursed lightly, with a faint smile.
"Mr. Chi, I saw that you were covered with dark clouds, and I was afraid that you might be in trouble, so I wanted to be a good person and fight to the end to help you escape from this trouble."
Chi Jiangdong's eyes widened when he heard this. , blurted out: "You can also tell fortunes?"
"Yes?" She trailed off.
When Chi Jiangdong mentioned that person, his eyes unconsciously revealed a warm and soft light: "I know a person, and I just thought that the way you talk is quite similar."
When the woman heard this, a trace of dissatisfaction quickly flashed across her face. She only liked to be unique and did not like to be compared with others.
