Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: Hesitation and Choice

Everyone has times of hesitation, and hesitation is not terrible. What is terrible is not making a choice in hesitation, because once you make a choice, you will no longer be hesitant, and you will act in the direction you choose. Wuji is a human being, of course when he is hesitant, especially when he comes to this three-forked road, he is even more hesitant. which way? The castle leading to Shangguandao on the left is now in charge of Guo Guanqun. The right side leads to Panlong Valley, which is guarded by Gong. Going straight is the way to Sikong Xiaofeng's Fengbao. According to reason, Wuji should keep going, but, so-called reason, whose reason is Wei Fengniang's eavesdropping? Could this reason that Yu heard be deceitful?

What Wuji wanted to guess was which place Tang Ao really wanted to attack. According to the distance of the distance, the nearest is Panlong Valley. According to common sense, Tang Ao should attack Panlong Valley first, especially since Wuji has left Tangjiabao, and Tangjiabao seems to be going on an expedition No, if Tang Ao wanted to go far away, he should have made it earlier than Wuji. Of course, it was also possible that Tang Ao had already made an arrangement. There was no need for people from the Tang family to come out of Tangjiabao, and there would be generals under his command to enter the government according to the order.

But basically Wuji doesn't trust Tang Ao, so there is a reason why he will let him go back and then attack? And what a coincidence, let Wei Fengniang hear the news of Fengfeng Castle? The Fengfeng Fortress was probably a fake, it was bait, and he wanted to trick Wuji into taking the bait. Wuji decided not to go to Fengbao Then go to Panlong Valley? This place is most likely to be attacked? Wuji had already turned the direction of the horse's head to the right, and stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, because he thought of Shangguan Dao. No matter where Tang Ao attacks, Shangguan Dao will definitely accompany him, and he will definitely try to notify the attacked place and ask him to take precautions in time. No matter how difficult it is, he believes that Shangguan Dao will definitely notify.

The most worrying point among them is that after Shangguandao notified, as long as Tang Ao found that the opponent was on guard when attacking, Tang Ao would definitely suspect Shangguandao's tip-off, because no one would know where Tang Ao was going to attack. If someone was bought by Dafengtang and leaked the news, Tang Ao would definitely find out, and apart from Shangguandao, he decided not to go there. He chose to disappear, not letting people in Tangbao know where he was, Tang Ao is very likely that if possible, it is him, Zhao Wuji. I will first look at him to guess why the stronghold of Dafengtang will be on guard.

In this way, Shangguan Dao can avoid all suspicions. But, what if Shangguan Ren didn't report the news? Wuji was not worried about this, because this was the start of the life-and-death battle between Dafengtang and Tangjiabao, how could Shangguandao not report the news? -He decided not to go, he estimated that the food he had brought could last for five days, so he got off his horse, led the horse at the intersection of Eryi fork, and walked up the mountain. As far as Shangguan Dao is concerned, he also has moments of hesitation, but they are only for a short time. In the Jianghu, Shangguan Dao is not only famous for his wisdom and martial arts, but also for his decisiveness.

Therefore, whether or not to inform Xu Gong of Panlong Valley, he only thought for a while before making a decision. The time he talked with Tang Ao was in the afternoon, and when the conversation was over, it was dusk and the sun was setting. He left the residence in the garden and walked towards the town. When he came to a noodle stall, he sat down. There were six tension tables in the stall. It was time for dinner, and there were people at every table, including the one he was sitting at. He ordered Yiwan Beef Noodles, which are red and very spicy, so spicy that you can wipe your sweat while eating them.

He ate very slowly: each noodle seemed to have to be crumbled before swallowing, so by the time he had finished eating, the other guests had already left, and among the new guests there was only one born on the table opposite him. This new guest was dressed in gray clothes, with a beard all over his face, and he looked rough, even when he ate noodles, he ate up Dawan Beef Noodles after three steaks and two steaks. After eating Shangguan Dao, he stood up and was about to pay the bill. Seeing the man in gray eating, he couldn't help but look at the owner of the noodle stall, shook his head and smiled, then he approached the stall, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the boss .

At this moment, the man in gray suddenly yelled: "That's too bad Er Shangguan turned around and looked at him with the boss." I saw the man in gray scratching up and down his whole body with both hands, saying: I forgot to bring money. Shangguandao laughed and said: You must have come from far away? The man in gray said, "Yes, I'm here to do cloth business. I live in Yuelai Inn, and my money is left in the inn. I wonder if the boss will allow me to go back and get it?" Before the boss could speak, Shangguandao said: "No need, I invite you."Look, it's like giving a piece of broken silver to the boss.

Then, Shangguandao approached the man in gray, and said: "I don't think you should rush back to the hotel. It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and the street is very hot. Take my money and spend it first, and you can return it to me tomorrow, you." Just leave it to the owner of this noodle stall, I come here often. He threw a big ingot to the man in gray, smiled at the boss, and left. The man in gray took the ingot and looked at the boss with a smile: He is really a good man, is he a rich man in your town? The noodle stall owner said: No, he is a distinguished guest of our Tangjiabao. It is better for you businessmen not to know his name, so as not to be intimidated.

The man in gray turned around and nodded, and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't know, at most I'll treat him back tomorrow." The noodle stall owner said: He may not necessarily come. The man in gray said: It's okay, I'll just put some more money with you. The owner of the noodle stall said: "Let's see what to do." The man in gray raised the ingot in his hand, and the owner of the opposite stall said: I'll go to Huaxiuhua for a while, see you tomorrow, you're lucky, I have to come back tomorrow for another meal. After speaking, the man in gray walked towards Zhashi.

Walking around, he didn't turn his head back, he felt someone following him, in fact, he had already felt someone staring at him as early as when he was eating noodles at the noodle stall. The Tang family will pay attention to any stranger. The man in gray knew it a long time ago, if no one followed him, he would be worried instead. So he deliberately walked to the famous Lichun Courtyard, asked a girl to drink with him, and he came out after an hour and went back to the hotel. In the hotel room, he took out broken silver and several ingots from his pocket. It turned out that he was carrying money. He took out the one given to him by Shangguan Knife, took a look at the sharp points on both sides, and bent it hard, the ingot split in two, and a thinly folded note jumped out from inside. He took a look at the note, but didn't open it, so he walked to his suitcase, opened the one-foot-square suitcase, and took out a small bamboo cage from the suitcase. He opened the bamboo cage, and there were three Pigeon. Only then did he open the note. It turned out that there were three copies of the note, all of which had been folded and put together. The man in gray also voted to read the content, so he tied the notes to the feet of the three pigeons respectively. This is his work ethic. He specializes in training pigeons that fly at night. From the beginning of the White Jade Tiger project, he made Huali into different identities. He came here every tenth century, and every time he ordered to go to the noodle stall to eat noodles , this is the first time he has received a mobile phone message. His surname is Yi, his name is Bailian, and he is proficient in the art of disguise. He is Shangguan Dao's life-and-death friend. He accepted Shangguan Dao's entrustment at the beginning of this year to take a look at the pigeons that will fly back to Panlong Valley, Fengbao and Shangguan Dao's residence. , often come to Tangjiabao. Yi Bailian tied up the note, put the pigeon in his arms, and walked back to the noodle stall with the money. Seeing the owner of the noodle stall, Yi Baiyan handed over the money to him, and said to him: Please return the money to the gentleman who paid the bill for me. The owner of the noodle stall said with a smile on his face: "It's not too late tomorrow, why do you have to make an extra trip?" Yi Bai said with a face: "I will leave early tomorrow morning." The noodle stall owner said: Oh, how many days will you stay at 7?He looked at the money in his hand, found that there were a few more ingots of broken silver and came out, saying: "This is too much." Yi Bai said with a face: "This is for you, because I need to trouble you: Chao Shou is the boss here, smiling happily, and said: Then, do you want to have a bowl of Chao Shou for a midnight snack? My hot and sour mango is a must! After eating Chaoshou, Yi Bailian left the noodle stall very happy. The reason for his happiness was that he found that the person who followed Cong had left. He knew the reason. It's just that I don't know how the boss used to notify the people who follow Cong that they don't need to follow Cong anymore. Yigu who leaves early tomorrow morning, what else can he have with Cong? Moreover, Yibai's face is so discreet. Zhong Nabi Y Kou Huan H Zha was walking on the way back to the hotel in the dark, and Si Shen made sure that there was no one around, so he never got pregnant and called Bu Ming H Chuan Si N Village Bu Ming Bu Da Ming Zhuqie In La's arms, not only did he not move, but he didn't even squeak. He made strange noises, called Xiao Xiao Xiao, and threw the pigeon up to let the pigeon fly, because when thrown up, the pigeon's wings would make a sound, Wan Zou.The other face listened intently, only to hear a very slight pat of feathers, he smiled with satisfaction, Tang Ao, who was on the way to the hotel, everything was very sure, now pacing in the room, seemed to be He looked hesitant. He was a little hesitant, because his plan suddenly deviated. The reason for the deviation was caused by Zhao Wuji. In the afternoon, the spies reported that there was no Cong shadow of Zhao Wuji on the way to Panlong Valley. Tang Ao was very happy at that time, because Zhao Wuji probably went fishing and went to Fengbao. Later, another group of spies also reported that there was no trace of Zhao Wuji's Cong on the way to Shangguanbao. Tang Ao was even happier, because everything would go according to his plan. Tang Ao originally deduced that using Wei Fengniang as bait, Zhao Wuji was most likely to be fooled, because through Wei Fengniang telling Zhao Wuji the news she eavesdropped, Zhao Wuji would definitely not believe it at first, but he would definitely continue his deduction, and then The wisdom of the Tang family and their tricks will definitely make him suspicious. If they don't go to Fengbao, the Tang family will govern Fengbao instead, so Zhao Wuji will go to Fengbao in the end. When the two groups of spies have found out that there is no Cong Ying of Zhao Wuji except Fengbao, it means that Zhao Wuji must have chosen Fengbao because he was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. However, Tang Ao has always done things with 100% certainty, so he still has to wait for the return of the spies sent to Fengbao Road. The spies came, and Tang Ao was shocked by the news he reported. Zhao Wuji's Cong Ying was nowhere to be seen on the road to Fengbao. Where did Zhao Wuji go? Tang Ao thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. Beforehand, he made a lot of assumptions, even if Zhao Wuji was not fooled and went elsewhere, some spies would tell him what he was doing, and the plan could be revised, but now, Zhao Wuji suddenly lost his cong, which really puzzled him . In fact, Tang Ao didn't care too much when Zhao Wuji went to the stronghold of Dafengtang. The important thing was that he wanted to use Zhao Wuji's foothold to test Shangguandao's loyalty. Shangguan Dao already knew that he had already attacked Panlong Valley, if Zhao Wuji landed in Fengbao, he would pretend to attack Panlong Valley, the real target was Shangguan Fort, the intention of pretending to attack Panlong Valley was to test whether Panlong Valley was ready , if there is, the Shangguan Knife will not be able to get rid of the suspicion, if not, the Siamese Dragon Valley can be easily removed, and the Shangguan Knife can be reused. This is Tang Ao's wishful thinking. He never dreamed that Zhao Wuji would lose Cong Ying all of a sudden. Of course, Zhao Wuji's move was not important in the first place. He let Wuji go back just to add a little more fun. But now Zhao Wuji's loss of Cong seems to affect the overall situation, at least it will also affect the judgment of Shangguan Dao, and the judgment of Shangguan Ren's loyalty is so important. He just hesitated for a while, but decided that everything would go according to the plan, so he ordered to go down and prepare the horses, and sent a message to all the troops deployed outside the Dafengtang stronghold, and everything was done according to the plan. However, Tang Ao is Tang Ao. Although everything is going according to plan, he is sealed on the other side, and first makes a dirty plan. This dirty plan does not refer to attacking Dafengtang, but to deal with Shangguandao. He called Tang Hua and ordered him to attack Wei Fengniang. These all happened before dusk on the second day of May. On the third day of May, at dusk, the sun has set and the sky is shining brightly. As soon as Wei Fengniang woke up, she saw the colorful colors of the sunset reflected on the window paper. She felt a sense of comfort and joy rising in her heart. It was indeed like this. , When I woke up, I saw nature's beautiful colored pens draw beautiful pictures on the window paper. This feeling, I would rather say, is close to happiness. She sat up from the bed, thinking in her heart, the sunset is so beautiful, she should go and see it. So she pushed open the door. She froze. Because she saw a person, a person who seemed to be smiling and waiting to come out to see. This person's facial features are very beautiful, but there is only a little powder smell. As soon as Ya Fengniang saw this person, she thought of what Tang Ao said, and knew who it was. He is Tang Hua, a very caring young master. Tang Hua smiled as if she was born that way, she smiled and said to Wei Fengniang: My name is Tang Hua. Ya Fengniang said: "I know." She only glanced at him, said "I know", then looked away, looking at the gray sunset gradually covering the western sky. Tang Hua moved her head to block Wei Fengniang's sight, so that Wei Fengniang could only see his face, still with the same smile, and said: "Sunset is not pretty." Wei Fengniang was startled, and said: "Such a beautiful sunset, why is it not beautiful?" Tang Huadao: How beautiful is a sunset like you? How beautiful is it when you come here? Wei Fengniang's face couldn't help turning red. Tang Hua looked at the red glow on her face infatuatedly, and said: Look, you are more beautiful at this time. The red glow on Wei Fengniang's face became even redder. Tang Hua's smiling face became even more idiotic. At this time, the color of the sunset has faded, and the sky has become gray and black. Tang Hua clapped her hands hard, and the two maids looked at the lantern and walked over from the far corner of the corridor. Tang Hua said in a tone like an actor reciting lines: "The night has come, the road is not clear, I am afraid that you will accidentally fall, so I called two maids to guide you." Wei Fengniang wanted to laugh.She thought it was funny, but she didn't laugh, she just said to Tang Hua: Why do you want to lead the way? Who said I'm going out?" Tang Hua immediately changed her posture and said, "Oh, since you won't go out, then go to your room."He turned to one of the maids and said, "Xiaodie, go in." Fluttershy walked quickly into the room. Wei Fengniang said: "I don't like to be waited upon." Tang Hua still had the same smiling face, and said: "That's impossible. A beautiful woman is surrounded by maids, isn't it like a general without soldiers? How boring is that?" The two maids, one is Xiaodie and the other is Xiaodie, the butterfly's butterfly. , is to serve you, you have to get used to it. Wei Fengniang suddenly found that Tang Hua really liked talking too much, like the words just now, she felt a little disgusted. She was about to put on a straight face to express her displeasure, but suddenly she thought of something, and immediately put a smile on her face . She thought that Tang Hua could be used. If Tang Hua was really obsessed with her, she could find an opportunity to use him to get her to leave Tangbao. So, Wei Fengniang smiled and said: Well, anyway, habits are formed slowly. When Tang Hua heard this, she clapped her hands and shouted happily: That's right. At this time, the lights in the room were turned on, Xiaodie had come, and standing beside Xiaodie, Tang Hua said to them: "Go and kick the food into the room." Then, he turned to Wei Fengniang and said: I have this honor, can I have dinner with you? Wei Fengniang said: Can I refuse? Tang Hua smiled, very brightly, he neither smiled nor stretched out his hand to ask Wei Fengniang to go back to the room. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a few scattered stars were flickering in the blue night sky. The food has been served, and it is a standard Sichuan dish, red and spicy. Tang Hua said to Wei Fengniang: Are you still used to eating spicy food? Wei Fengniang said: Yes, I like spicy food. Tang Huadao: If you eat too much spicy food, your throat will burn and your tongue will dry out. Do you know what wine is best to drink with this kind of spicy food? Wei Fengniang asked: "What kind of wine do you use?" Tang Hua said: "Iced Persian wine, have you ever drank it?" Daowei Fengniang shook her head and said: "No, it's the first time I heard it." Tang Hua said: You can drink it right away. As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaodie held a wooden plate, and on the wooden plate was a large porcelain vase with a small narrow body inside. Tang Huadao: The big bottle is filled with ice cubes, and the small bottle is filled with wine from Persia. Xiaodie poured a glass for each of them. Tang Hua raised her wine glass and said, "Come on, let me toast you." Wei Fengniang took a shallow sip. Tang Hua asked: Are you okay? Wei Fengniang said: "No, it's sweet, with a little sour taste, like eating sour plums." Tang Huadao, the cold feeling is just enough to remove the dry and spicy smell in your mouth. This is a treasure of our Tang family. Wei Fengniang smiled and said: That is my honor. Tang Huadao: As long as you like, I can let you enjoy any precious treasures of our Tang family. Wei Fengniang said: Really? Tang Huadao: Of course it's true, do you know how long I've admired you? 7 Wei Fengniang didn't answer, she lowered her head to eat and drank some wine, her face turned a little red. Tang Hua looked at her, as if she was crazy. Wei Fengniang found that he did not continue to speak, so she looked up at him. Tang Hua also stared at Wei Fengniang and said, "You are so beautiful." Wei Fengniang smiled, a happy smile. Tang Hua said again: More than half a year ago, when I was in Gusanli, the file of our Tang family, when I suddenly saw you in County B, I regarded you as a heavenly being, and I always wanted to see you. If I was lucky enough to see you... You are a thousand times better than others. Wei Shuniang didn't want to be a little nasty, but she didn't show Tian Lai, because she had other plans, so she still kept smiling and said: Thank you for your beauty. Tang Huadao: I am not Yimei, I am telling the truth that I have seen. Wei Fengniang stopped talking, and the tingling sensation disappeared. She has never heard of a man talking about her Jiang Li in this way, not even Zhao Wuji. He expresses his love with his eyes, while this Tang Hua in front of him speaks directly, and sometimes his words are so skillful , which made Wei Fengniang couldn't help being a little moved. Tang Hua said again: For more than half a year, almost two hundred days and nights, I missed the person in the painting I saw, and now I am lucky enough to eat at the same table. Do you know how happy I am? Come, have another drink. Wei Fengniang couldn't help but toasted and drank it. Tang Hua put down her wine glass and said: Do you understand what I mean? Yazhuo Niang doesn't have a pagoda accent, so of course she understands: but understanding is what she understands, not to mention that her heart is already behind Zhao Wuji, even without Wuji, how could she like to lick someone like Gonghua? Moreover, how could she Answering this kind of question Tang Hua said again: I can do anything for you. Wei Fengniang was interested in this sentence, because she just hoped that Tang Hua would become impulsive and take her away from Tangjiabao regardless of the consequences. So Wei Fengniang replied, she said: "Anything." Diao Tanghua resolutely said: "Anything." Wei Fengniang said in a joking tone on purpose: What if I told you to die? Tang Hua was taken aback, and said: "Then I won't do it." Wei Fengniang said: "Why? Didn't you say that you can do anything for me?" Tang Hua said: I can't die, because I will never see you again after I die, and I will never do anything about you. ? Tang Huadao: No, I should correct my words, I can do anything for you, as long as I can always be with you. Wei Fengniang asked again: Really? Tang Huadao: Members. Wei Fengniang said: If someone hinders you from seeing me, or hinders my freedom, what will you do? Tang Hua said: "Get rid of him." Ya Fengniang said, "Should we drive him away?" Tang Hua said: Kill him. Wei Shuniang said: "What if this person is from your Tang family?" Yu Tanghua answered, and he silently watched Yangya Fengniang. Wei Fengniang asked again: "Are you afraid to tell Tang Hua: There is nothing I dare not do." Wei Fengniang said: Then why didn't you answer? Tang Hua said: "Why do you want to kill your own relatives?" Wei Fengniang said: "You said to kill me." Tang Huadao: Who in our Tang family will hinder your freedom? Wei Fengniang said: "Yes." Tang Hua said: Who? Wei Fengniang said: "Tang Ao." Tang Huadao: Big cousin? How could he? Wei Fengniang said: "Why can't it be that he didn't leave me in Tangjiabao?" Tang Hua said: He is for me. Wei Fengniang said: For you 7 Tang Huadao: Yes, he knew that I like you, that's why he kept you. Wei Fengniang stopped talking because she knew that this was not the case. Didn't Tang Ao tell her that after meeting Wuji, only one person could be allowed to leave Tangjiabao? She, not Wuji 7 So she knew that there must be fraud in it, either Tang Ao cheated Tang Hua, or Tang Hua was cheating her. She didn't tell Tang Hua the question in her heart, but just asked: Even if he left me because of you, what if I think he still hinders my freedom? Tang Huadao: Which side do you feel unfree? Wei Fengniang said: "I can't leave Tangjiabao: Tang Hua said: Who said that? Wei Fengniang said: "Tang Ao." Tang Hua said: No way, I'll go to the room to ask him tonight. Wei Fengniang said: "What if he lied to you?" Tang Hua said: No, I will let you go wherever you think of it. Wei Fengniang said: "What if Tang Ao is not allowed?" Tang Hua said: "If it's really not allowed, we'll sleep here frugally." Wei Su Niang said: "Really? Tang Huadao: As long as you let me follow you, I can take you anywhere you like. Wei Fengniang said: Including going back to the Da Su Hall? Tang Huadao: Do ​​you want to go back to Dafengtang? Wei Fengniang said: "Who doesn't want to go back to the place where she grew up?" Tang Hua said: I don't want you to go back. Wei Fengniang said: "Why? Are you afraid?" Tang Huadao: "I'm not afraid, Dafengtang is nothing!" Wei Fengniang said: "Then why don't you want me to go back?" Tang Huadao: Because there is a person in Dafeng Hall. Wei Fengniang said, "You mean Wuji?" Tang Hua showed a bitter expression on his face, with a look of jealousy, and said: Yes, I don't want you to see him again. Wei Fengniang said: I may not see him when I go back. Tang Huadao: What if I see it? Wei Fengniang said: "You don't even dare to bet on this? Tang Huadao: "I don't do things I'm not sure about." Feng Niang said: "Okay, then we don't need to talk anymore." Tang Hua stopped talking, he drank five glasses of wine by himself, then stood up and said goodbye to Wei Fengniang: After speaking, he raised his head and signaled to Xiaodie and Xiaodie that three They left Wei Fengniang's room together. Wei Fengniang felt bewildered, she sat alone by the window, staring at the night. She knew that her performance tonight was not good at all, and she shouldn't have urged Tang Hua to answer those questions so urgently. She should use tenderness to trick him into giving his true feelings, and only ask him to do something after he is bewildered by feelings. This should be the best way. Tang Hua's current impression of her was nothing more than a personal love. To him, it was still one-sided. Wei Fengniang didn't express anything at all. How could he easily agree to the request? At this night, Wei Fengniang finally cleared up her thoughts, found the path she should take, and finally made a decisive choice on what to do. She decided to go to bed early tonight, and tomorrow she will face Tang Hua with the most energetic appearance and put on a false mask, to please Tang Hua. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep with a sense of security after making a decision. Under the same night, Zhao Wujilang suffered from insomnia. He wanted to sleep very much, but the matter of whether Shangguandao would notify the various halls of Dafeng Hall to prepare for the attack on Tangjiabao had been circling in his mind. This is a gamble, a gamble related to the future of Dafengtang. And this gamble must be bet on the unknown. Zhao Wuji didn't know his Uncle Shangguan, he didn't even know the plans of the White Jade Tiger, how could he talk about understanding the founder of Dafengtang? It was because he thought he didn't know Shangguan Ren that he suddenly felt troubled. He originally thought that Shangguandao would find a way to inform Dafengtang about it, but at this night, he suddenly felt confused. What if Shangguandao was worried about his own safety, or he couldn't find someone to send the message to him? No notice? If the brothers in Dafengtang were caught off guard by the Tangjiabao attack because of this, shouldn't he be responsible for those brothers who were killed or injured? He should choose a place to notify, this is the real gamble, because even if the place notified is not the place the Tang family wants to attack: he is just betting wrongly, and he will not regret it. But now, hiding in the mountains alone, betting the crisis of Dafeng's cousin on Shangguan Ren's actions, this may be a wrong choice. Zhao Wuji looked at the night, he knew that if he made a mistake, he could not undo it, because he had no time. At this moment, he suddenly heard a slight sound like a bird flapping its wings, and he felt that something was rushing towards him. He walked out of the top of a big tree where he lived, and he instinctively broke off a twig and threw it with a moving object. He was very precise and hit the object with one blow. He heard the sound of the object falling and hitting the leaves. His people are already standing up, listening carefully to see if there are any voices from all sides. No, nothing but the wind. He stood motionless for a long time, he was afraid that the thing just now was a hidden weapon, a hidden weapon thrown at him, but about a cup of tea passed, and there was no movement. Only then did he realize that it might be just a bird. He flew towards the place where the thing fell just now, and when he stretched out his hand to grab it, he fell gently to the ground. Holding it in his hand, he felt that it was indeed a bird, and while looking at the night, he saw that it was a pigeon. He immediately thought of pigeons. Could it be the pigeons that conveyed the news in Tangjiabao? He hastily reached out to touch the pigeon's feet, and sure enough there was a small piece of paper tied to the pigeon's feet. He took out the torch from his bosom, lit it up, and saw that the light opened the small paper. As soon as he opened it, he cried out in his heart. . He recognized that it was the secret signal of Dafengtang to deliver the message. In fact, there are no words on the paper, but the shape of the paper is special, it is a small piece of paper trimmed like a heart, and this is what Dafengtang wants to tell his people to be careful, the paper If the size is small, the time to be careful is within two or two days. If it is ten days and eight years old, the size of the paper will be larger. He knew that this must be the message from Shangguandao. But now the pigeon has been shot to death by him, what should we do? Did Shangguandao only release a pigeon? Where is the destination of this pigeon? Since Zhao Wuji began to regret that he was too careless, why didn't he expect it to be a pigeon? How could he think it was a hidden weapon? Regret is useless, how to remedy is the way, but what remedy can he do? Under the same night, Shangguandao fell asleep peacefully. Before going to bed, he went to visit his daughter. After her daughter was stabbed by Zhao Wuji who didn't know the truth in order to save her father, she fell in love with him and was silent. , completely different, her trauma has gradually improved, but the inner sorrow seems to be deepening day by day. Shangguandao didn't pay attention to this point. In his mind, except for his daughter's trauma, he focused on spying on Tangjiabao Somi and preventing the Tang family from harming Dafengtang. Not to mention his daughter's thoughts, he didn't even ask whether Tang Ao let Wuji go. He didn't want to know, the only son of a brother who shared weal and woe, of course he cared about his safety, but compared to Dafengtang's survival In terms of security, the individual becomes insignificant. He had to carefully hide the identity of Shi-[, so that he could contribute to Dafengtang, he was able to spread the news, and he already felt at ease. He is confident that his message will reach cousin Dafeng. The night was very deep. Shangguandao and Wei Fengniang had fallen asleep, while Zhao Wuji in the forest was still regretting and troubled, Tang Hua was exchanging information with Tang Ao. "Tang Hua said: Wei Fengniang really wants to leave Tangjiabao very much. Tang Ao said: "Are you confident that you can follow her?" Tang Huadao: Yes, tonight I used a trick of playing hard to get. I believe she will treat me very well tomorrow. Tang Ao said: You have to be careful in everything, our next step is likely to be completely dependent on you. Tang Hua said: I know. Tang Ao stood up, walked to a cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out a brocade box from inside. He brought the brocade box back to the table and put it on the table, and said to Tang Hua: "I'll leave this to you, and you take it with you. It may come in handy anytime. Tang Hua asked: What is this? Tang Ao said: "Open it and have a look." Tang Hua opened the brocade box, and carefully took out the contents. It was a lifelike dragon carved out of white jade. Tang Hua exclaimed: "What a jade dragon." Tang Ao said: "It is carved with white jade, called Bai Yulong." This white jade dragon is not very big, a little bigger than a man's palm, and the dragon's head is flying high, as if it is going to fly to the sun. Tang Ao reached out and took the carved dragon from Tang Hua's hand, pointed at the dragon's mouth, and said: "This mouth is open, and the inside is carved into a hollow, so you can stuff a note into it." Tang Huadao: Our plan is to use the mouth of this carved dragon? Tang Ao smiled and said: To be precise, it is to use the hollow dragon belly. Tang Huadao: Why use this white jade to carve a dragon? Tang Ao said: Because it was given by Shangguan Dao, and Shangguan Dao said that it was Zhao Jian's favorite piece of jade during his lifetime. Tang Huadao: "I will watch carefully." Tang Ao said: "If you need it, go to Zhao Jian's Zhuangzi. There is a shop called Baiyuzhai by Jia Wenfang Koubao." Tang Huadao: I know, the boss is called Bai Yuqi. Tang Ao said: Yes, Bai Yuqi is best at calligraphy. Not only is his handwriting beautiful, but he also copies other people's handwriting, which is exactly the same. Tang Hua said: "Anyway, I'll wait for your news, and I'll find him when the time comes, and find him to write according to your plan." Tang Ao said: Yes, you can reveal your identity to him. Tang Huadao: Is he bought by our Tang family? Tang Ao said: "Five thousand taels of silver every year." Tang Hua said: Then he doesn't need to open a shop. Tang Ao said: "If our plan of carving dragons from white jade needs to be carried out, he doesn't have to open a shop in the future." Tang Huadao: Why? Do we still have to give him a large sum of money? Tang Ao said: No, you will kill him when he finishes writing. Tang Hua said: Silence? Tang Ao said: "Those who can be bought can be bought back with more money. We must guard against this." Tang Huadao: It makes sense. Tang Ao smiled and said: If it doesn't make sense, can our Tangjiabao stand in the rivers and lakes for so long? Tang Hua also smiled, very proudly. At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly. In such a deep night, there are actually people attacking the door. There must be something urgent. Tang Ao suddenly asked Tang Hua to put away the white jade dragon and went to open the door. Standing outside the door was Tang Que, who was holding a pigeon in his hand. After closing the door, Tang Ao and Tang Que walked to the table together, and Tang Que handed the pigeon in his hand to Tang Ao. The pigeon is still alive, struggling to get out of Tang Ao's hand. Tang Ao looked at the pigeon's wings with his hand, took it in his hand, and said: This is not our carrier pigeon. Tang Ao said: They came across the net we set up seventeen miles outside the city, and they brought it back with fast horses. Tang Aodao: It's the homing pigeons there Tang Que said: "I can't find out, I haven't seen this kind of pigeons before." Tang Ao said: Not from Dafengtang? Tang Que said: "Dafengtang doesn't use this kind of carrier pigeons." Tang Ao said: Have you estimated where to fly from and fly to? Tang Que said: Pigeon experts estimate that it is likely to fly out of Tangjiabao, and we don't know where it flies to. Tang Ao said: Carrier pigeons that fly at night? What a powerful method of transmission. Is there anyone in the world who has the ability to train this kind of carrier pigeons? Tang Que said: "I haven't heard of it. I have already asked someone to consult Bai Xiaosheng. I will probably have news tomorrow morning." Tang Ao said: Did any strangers come to Tangjiabao today? Tang Que said: "Not today, but three days ago." Tang Ao said: Three days ago, this person stayed here for three days? Tang Que said: "It's a cloth merchant. The registered name is Wu Yong. He lives in the Yuelai Inn. I just sent someone to ask him for a question." When Tang Ao was asking questions, he had already taken out a piece of paper from under the pigeon's feet. At this moment, he was staring at a heart shape drawn on the paper. Tang Que looked at his elder brother and said: "The paper has been checked, it is Baozhizhai's rice paper, anyone can buy it." Tang Ao said: "What does this heart shape mean? A pigeon sending love?" Tang Que said: It's impossible for Zeng Hesi to train pigeons flying at night to convey affection? Tang Hua interjected: "This is a good idea. I will use this trick to launch a pursuit offensive in the future." Tang Ao said: This heart shape, I can guarantee that it is not a gesture of love, it must have other meanings. Tang Hua stared at the heart shape for a while, and said: "This heart shape is not big, either big or small, does a small heart shape mean that you are careful?" Tang Ao said: "It's very possible."Then, the three of them fell silent, and the three of them were all in the same mind now, they all thought that the carrier pigeon was released by Tangjiabao, the content was to be careful, most likely to inform Dafengtang, beware of Tangjiabao's attack. Tang Que said: "Could it be Zhao Wuji?" Tang Ao said: "Will he show the pigeons?" Tang Que said: Otherwise, who would it be? Tang Ao said: We will wait for the news from Yuelai Inn before inferring. The lights of Yuelai Inn have been dimmed, except for a lamp of oil in the central hall, the surrounding area is pitch black. The shopkeeper's material leaned on the high-back chair behind the counter and took a nap, apparently fast asleep. Tang Que sent two people to enter Yuelai Inn, ignored the shopkeeper, went upstairs, reached the second floor, turned right, and knocked on the door of the third room, One of them kicked the door open, and the other flew in. 他好像对房间的一切都非常熟悉，只见他一个飞身使冲进床边，伸手往床上的人身上连点，除了踢门声以外，什麽声音也没有，看来，床上的人犹在梦中便已被点了穴道。 点穴的人点完穴之後，伸手将床上人拦腰一孢，往肩上一放，便扛看往外走。 二人以快速的轻功行走，不多久便岜回到唐家堡。 唐缺打开门，二人进去，便将点了穴道的人往桌上一放，其中一人道：吴勇已捉来了。 唐缺还没来得及赞扬他们办事效率快，人便傻拐在当地，踉看，唐傲、唐花和那二人都楞住。 他们发现，扛回来的吴勇已陉死了。 唐缺惊问： 怎麽搞的点穴约叉又楞的，一时答不出话来。 另一个踢门的则道： 会不会早就死了? 唐傲一言不发，走近这个名叫吴勇的尸体前，摸了一下他的额头，道：不错，已胫死了有一个时辰以上了. 这时他们才发觉，尸体早已微微发黑。 唐花撬开尸体的嘴，看了看嘴里的牙齿，然後道: 牙齿是发黑的。 唐缺鹜道: 中了我们的虎蜂针毒？ 唐傲道： 我们唐家，那些人用虎蜂针？ 唐缺低声念了好些人的名字，都摇头说不可能，因为这些人都已不在唐家堡，被派到外面去，剩下的就是他们兄弟。 唐傲他们一时之间都纳闷了起来。 唐傲沉思了片刻，才对刚才被派去的那两个人说：你们去把悦来客栈的掌植呷来。 两人应声而去後，唐傲才对唐缺说：你去查一查，我们的虎蜂针有没有谁曾经失落过唐缺很快就带看一本本子回来，他翻动看朋页，巡视看上面的记录，忽然道：有:唐傲问道： 谁? 唐缺道： 李文廷。 唐傲又间： 什麽时候，在那里丢的？ 唐缺道： 今年一月，在河南。 唐傲道： 怎麽丢的? 唐缺道：去刺杀易百脸的时候，曾发出两枚虎蜂针，结果被易百脸用袋子接走。 唐傲道： 易百脸?易容大王易百脸? 唐缺道：是的，记录上说，他的易容术之精湛，就好像他随身带看一百张脸一样。 唐傲道： 我们为什麽要去刺杀他? 唐缺道： 我们得到情报，易百脸芑经被大风堂收买过去，因为这个人太可怕了，所以我们宁愿他死，也不希圣他去替大风堂做事。 唐花道： 是呀，想想看，一个人随时都有一百张脸，变换就换，谁也认不出他，要去刺探情报，那是多容易的事呀。 唐傲道： 谁决定要杀他的? 唐缺道： 你那时候不在，当然是我啦唐傲道： 老祖宗知道吗? 唐缺道： 不知道，怎麽?我做错了吗? 唐傲道： 当然，假如你当时徵求老祖宗的意见，她一定会反对。 唐缺不服气的道: 她为什麽反对? 唐傲道： 这种人，应该想办法再收买过来才是上策，派人去刺杀他是下策，刺杀不中，更是失策，他现在一定会死心塌地的替大风堂做事。 唐缺沉默了:因为他大哥这番话，分析得确实很有道理。 唐傲说完，也没理会唐缺的反应，走近尸体，伸左手将尸体的头抬起，右手在尸体後头摸来摸去。 然後，他忽然紧捏尸体後颈偏左的地方，慢慢的，用力的向头顶方向撕。 这时，唐缺他们都看出来，这尸体的脸，是戴看一副相当精细的人皮面具。 唐缺的脑海，已升起一个人的名字。 易百脸。 很显然，这个人是易百脸杀的，杀了之後，戴上他自己制的面具，。 唐傲已将整块人皮面具揭开，尸体的脸整个都是黑色的，怪不得唐傲他们一开始并没有看出是中毒死的，原来是隔了一层人皮面具的缘故，脸上才没有太黑的颜色。 他们三个人看看尸体发怔的时候，那两个人已带看悦来客栈的掌柜回来。 那掌柜一看到尸体的脸容，自己的脸上马上变色，露出呆的表情。 唐傲立刻间他： 这个人是谁? 掌柜的口齿不清的回答： 他┅┅他┅┅叫李仁宗，可是┅┅唐傲道： 可是，你看到他早就离开了客栈，对不对? 掌柜的看看唐傲道: 你┅┅你怎麽┅┅知道7 唐傲冷哼一声，道： 这还不够明显吗?那个在你客栈登记叫吴勇的人，来唐家堡的时候就戴看这副面具。 唐傲扬了扬刚撕下来的人皮面具，又道： 他其实就是易百脸，他来这里办完了事，杀了住在隔壁的这个李仁宗，把自己的皮面套在他脸上，装成是吴勇死了，自己就制造李仁宗的面具戴上，离开悦来客栈，离开唐家堡。 掌植的听完，吓得脸无人色，道： 这个人┅┅太┅┅可怕了二唐傲转头间唐缺： 吴勇到过什麽地方7” 唐缺把知道的情报都说了出来。 唐傲一迸沉思，一没分析，道：问题不是出在廷摊子，就是出在丽春院，我怀疑这只鸽子。 他指看唐缺拿来的鸽子，道： 是他放出去的。 唐缺这时正在翻阅那本档案本，忽然大叫道：对，易百脸的资料档案上，记载看他喜欢饲养鸽子。 唐傲道：到过面摊的人，和易百脸有接触的，是上官刀，而易百脸在丽春院里，接触过的人是┅┅唐缺接口道: 他叫的是小萍。 唐傲道: 小萍是我们这里长大的，不会有嫌疑。 唐花道: 难道会是上官刀? 唐缺道， 会吗7 只不过是给了他一锭银子而已。 唐花道: 也许银子里有古怪。 唐傲道: 也许，你去叫┅┅ 他讲到这里忽然停住，看看悦来客栈的掌柜和那两个刺客。 唐缺马上道: 你们回去吧，没你们的事了。 三个人立刻离开。 唐傲这才续说道: 你去叫娟娟来。 唐缺道: 叫娟娟?干什麽? 唐傲道： 我要她用美色去刺探上官刀，到底有没有什麽秘密是我们不知道的。 悦来客栈的掌柜和那两人分手後，一个人回到客栈，他走到柜台，回到刚才打盹的地方，坐下，找出客人登记簿，在吴勇这个名字上面，用毛笔画了两个小圈圈。 然从，他离开柜台，走出客栈，趁夜色离开了唐家堡，离开唐家堡之後，掌柜的才伸手到脑後，学庸傲的模样用力一撕，赫然也是一副人皮面具。 他笑了，冷笑，原来他才是易百脸。 天还末亮的时候，一个蒙面人来到悦来客栈，以奇快的敏捷身手，到达柜台，翻开客人登记簿，瞄了吴勇这个名字一眼，便立刻离开。 这个蒙面人以飞快的轻功奔向唐家花园，他对花园的地形非常熟悉，贝他尽往黑暗的地方躲闪看行走，很快的便进入一间房里。 进入房里之後，他把脸上的黑市取下，他，正是上官刀。 上官刀刚解下黑巾，放在桌上，门口忽然传来了敲门声，他起先吓了一跳，因为这时天还未亮，加上他刚从悦来客栈回来，以为是唐家有谁发现他的行琮。 他本能的拿起黑巾，想找地方收藏起来，但他马上想到，敲门的人很可能是娟娟。 所以他就间了声是谁。 , 门外回答： 是我。 声音果然是娟娟。 娟娟是上官刀一来唐家堡就认识的姑娘，因为娟娟一直对他非常体贴，所以最近常常半夜来这里过夜。 知道是娟娟，上官刀就放下心了，他把黑市随手往怀里一塞，便去开门。 门一开，娟娟便一头冲到他怀里，嘤咛一声，脸便往上官刀脸上贴去。 上官刀笑了一笑，伸手便将她抱起，走向床边把她放在床上。 然後，两个人便像胶一般的黏在一起┅┅┅ 天都快亮了，赵无忌还在树上对看夜空发呆。 他还在徨，刚才不小心杀了一只传信的鸽子，令他後悔、失神了好一阵子。 一决他实在是想不出什麽方法来补救他的错失，已陉想了很久了，这时，他才下了个定。 龙⌒要一天多的路程， 程赶也要二天的清晨才能到，到的时候硎好是端午：他他决定往盘龙谷去。 到盘午，大家都陶醉在庆典欢愉之中，最易被伦衷，便心急如焚，连忙跳下树干，上一想到踹马奔向盘龙谷。 同样的清晨。 唐傲、唐缺、唐花都还末醒三个人依在房间里分析看信鸽与易百脸的事。 唐傲看了微露鱼肚白的天色对唐缺道：我想改变攻击的计划。 唐缺问道： 为什麽？ 唐傲道: 意料不到的事太多，我怕会生变。 唐缺道: 你想怎麽样？ 唐傲道: 立刻飞鸽传书，要三路人马立刻进攻。 原来他早匕安排好三路人马在大风堂约三个据点埋伏好，等待唐家的命令进攻，他本来打算和唐缺一起前往，带领人马分别攻打。但他现在忽然改变主意，人不但不去，反而提早进攻。 他本来放出空气说端午进攻，其实他是慢慢前往，待踹午後两天才攻，那时，就算有人通风讯，踹午时大风堂的人准备应戢，但苦苦准备二天都没有进攻的迹象，不但会对消息来源怀疑，更会因而松懈下来，这个时候进攻是最好的时机。 但他决定改变战略。 因为他忽然感到一股压力，这股压力是赵无忌的突然消失，加上易百脸的出现才来的。 他立刻通知唐缺用飞鸽传书，传令埋伏在大风堂三个据点的人收到传书後立刻进攻。 不问後果的进攻。 在极度欢愉之後，上官刀睡了，睡得很甜，很没有戒心。 这样甜蜜睡意，让清醒看的娟娟，禁不住多看两眼，她来侍候上官刀是有目的的，她一直是奉唐缺之命，来观察上官刀的行动，包括在睡觉时的梦话，都要向唐缺报告。 所以她披衣而起，下床，捡起在地上的衣服，上官刀的衣服。 她小心翼翼的摸寻，她摸出了一条黑巾，她知道那是用来蒙脸的。 她摸出了一个细小的锦袋，锦袋几乎是贴看内衣而缝的，她以前一直没发现，没想到今天被她看到了。 她打开锦袋，里面有一张摺得很细的纸，纸上什麽字也没写，只昼了一个小小的心形。 她不知道这是什麽h但她知道这很重要，不重要，上官刀怎麽会放在贴身内衣的锦袋里呢? 她把小纸摺回原状，放回锦袋里。 她到了梳红台前，仔细约叉替自己打扮起来。 她忍不住又回到床边，凝视看上官刀。 她忽然冲动的伏在上官刀胸前，伸手抚摸看上官刀的脸。 上官刀双眼依旧闭看，但右手已仲田，轻轻的抚摸看脸上的小手。 这动作，令娟娟有点激动。 毕竟，上官刀是令她得到欢愉的人，以前，她坦率命做过这样的事，但她从未有和上官刀在一起那麽快慰过。 上官刀感到娟娟的身体在微微的头抖，他的手从抚摸变成轻拍，道：怎麽了? 娟娟立刻警觉自己的失态，连忙把手一抽，人已站起，道：没什麽，我要回去了。 上官刀并没有感觉到不对劲，他只是从鼻孔里发出了嗯的一声，因为娟娟每次来，都是清晨就离去，这一次，和平常并无不同。 所以他叉女睡了。 娟娟又凝视了上官刀片劾，才转头离去。 离开上官刀的房间，她走得很慢，因为她现在要去的地方，正是唐傲和唐缺在谈事情的地方。 她边走没想，要不要把刚刚看到的黑中和纸上的心形，报告给唐傲他们知道? 看到黑中的时候，她心中已陉有数，上官刀昨夜一定俭俭出去过，因为她曾陉来过，那时上官刀并不在。 她到底要不要把她知道的事，全部说给唐傲知道?她主意还没拿走，人就已来到了房门前。 她不能再思考了，因为她没有时间犹疑，来到了门前，里面的人一定知道有人到了门外，假如她犹疑而不敲门，里面的人一定会起疑心。 所以她的脚步一停在门前，手就立即伸出敲门。 唐缺的声音传了出来： 进来。 娟娟推门，心里还在矛盾。 然而，不管地做什麽决定，它的步必须跨进房里，一进房，唐傲他们一定会间她有什麽发现的。
