win the hairpin

Chapter 413
Zhang Xutang let go of Zhang Zihou's arm, let the nanny carry him away, stood up by himself, and spread out the topographic map of mountains and rivers to examine carefully.

The Northern Hundred Mountains on the topographic map hold Kyoto, cold and silent.

The charcoal fire in the room gradually weakened, and the incense slices became cold on the smoker cage, and the thin fragrance was like a rope, dragging the other smells in the study to sink together, and landed on the floor.

Zhang Xutang shuddered, and ordered without raising his head: "Add fire!"

The servant guarding the porch had red noses and red ears. He opened the door and walked in. The cold air drove away the condensed aroma in the room, which was refreshing.

The servants added silver charcoal to the charcoal basin, and the room became warm again.

Zhang Xuzhang stood for a long time, and when Haishi passed, he got up suddenly, opened the door of the study, and the cold wind blew in from the outside, causing him to take a step back.

He looked at the servants guarding the door and found that it was not Xiaowei, so he immediately said: "Call Xiaowei, prepare the carriage, I'm going to Taixingxing."

Xiao Wei hurried to prepare the carriage, most of the guards in the mansion were taken out by Lao Wei, leaving only six housekeepers, Xiao Wei thought that once Zhang Xuzhang left the house, there was no need to look at the house, so he brought four, There are two left, everything is ready, just waiting for Zhang Xutang to move.

Zhang Xutang took the bronze crane and went to Taihangxing.

When passing by King Jin’s Zhuangzi, two red lanterns were hung high in front of the wide gate. The villa was quiet, and the cleaned ground was covered with a thin layer of snow again. There is only the refreshing coldness left.

The carriage stopped in front of the mountain, Xiao Wei carried a lantern to illuminate the road ahead, Tong He carried Zhang Xutang on his back and went up the mountain road.

The four guards followed behind the copper crane, and they all felt fear at the same time.

No matter how rough the mountain road is, Tonghe's footsteps are consistent, and there is no ups and downs in the sound of breathing. The hand carrying Zhang Xutang is smooth and steady, without shaking.

He is not a human being, but a puppet driven by Zhang Xutang.

With the bronze crane, the group of people walked very fast, with a light flickering across the mountains at high speed, and it took only half the time for the three of King Jin to arrive at Taihangxing.

The snow in Taihang Xing was much thicker than the outside, almost reaching people's knees. Everything was silent, and the snow light reflected a white and flawless world. There was neither King Jin, Song Huiyue, nor Lao Wei.

Zhang Xutang looked at the undulating snow pack, and soon found the fletching of an arrow.

"Shovel it!"

Xiao Wei immediately stepped forward with his guards. They didn't bring shovels, they could only use knives and hands to dig in.

The snow piled up all around, and a corpse immediately saw the sky. The corpse was upside down, clusters of arrows pierced its body and face. There is also an eyeball.

The guards had also experienced killing, but they couldn't help being timid when they saw this kind of slaughter that made them helpless to fight back.

Zhang Xutang recognized that this was the guard of the Zhang family, and his whole body began to tremble: "Dig again!"

The corpses were turned out one by one, in different postures, the knives were out of the sheath, and there were not many severed arrows scattered on the ground. Obviously, these people had tried their best to save themselves.

It's a pity that he was pierced by thousands of arrows in the end.

Zhang Xutang suddenly took a step forward, squatted down, and turned over a corpse lying on the ground.

The corpse had been pierced into rags by the arrows, but the face was still recognizable, it was not Old Wei.

Zhang Xutang continued to rummage, dragged a bloody hand, bent over to look sideways, the man's head had been pierced in a mess by arrows, and his whole face turned into a hornet's nest, Xiao Wei was terrified and couldn't help but move away. He turned his head, but Zhang Xutang didn't change his face, he left the bloody hand and took two steps forward.

The person in front was in better condition, his head and face were intact, and his body was in a mess. Zhang Xutang recognized him as a dead man.

Zhang Xutang suddenly felt that King Jin's hand had penetrated into his body. At this moment, he was grasping his heart and squeezed it hard.

It hurts.

Soldier is not easy to come by, most of them have already been lost, and the children he trained are only half-grown children, not enough to be of great use, killing a dead soldier is just taking away a piece of his flesh.

He continued to search, and found that the corpses were all dressed in the same color of soap and short brown, so it was not easy to distinguish them. He could only turn them one by one, and finally found Lao Wei.

Old Wei raised his face, his chest and neck were full of sharp arrows, his head was tilted, his dead gray eyes were wide open, full of shock and unwillingness.

He did not rest in peace, and when he died, he still maintained his loyalty to Zhang Xutang.

Zhang Xutang stared at him, his already trembling hands became more and more violent, his eyes were throbbing crazily, the pain blurred his vision, his heart was clenched so hard that he knelt down on one leg Go, cover your heart.

He trembled all over, thinking that this was the blow that King Jin left him.

King Jin, who is impeccable in his affairs and can even clean up blood, left these corpses here in a grand manner just to give him this blow.

With these corpses, King Jin warned him, weakened him, and made his strength come to naught.

Jin Wang did it, because Lao Wei is more important than Mrs. Zhang, there can be countless small Weis, but there is only one old Wei.

He stood up stiffly and slowly, held Xiaowei's hand, and said hoarsely, "Go back."

It's just a guard, if you die, you die.

Back at Zhang's house, he didn't remember what time it was, and sat in the study without eating or drinking, his mind started to spin wildly.

In a game of chess, the only chess pieces on his side are Concubine Zhang, King Yan, and the officials of the Zhang faction who were suppressed by him. The most important thing is to prevent the officials of the Zhang faction from knowing that he has only a handful of people.

Let Xiao Wei burn Taihangxing's body first without leaving any traces.

The death of an insignificant Mrs. Zhang is a good thing for Concubine Zhang. Today, she has pity the Zhang family and favored Concubine Zhang again. Once Mrs. Zhang dies, she will reward Concubine Zhang again.

The former dynasty and the harem cannot be connected, but the two are both prosperous and prosperous.

As long as Concubine Zhang's heels stand firmly, King Yan still needs to suppress King Jin, and King Yan will also stand firmly in the previous dynasty.

Taking advantage of this "stability", the Zhang family needs to recuperate.

It is useless to seek peace, and he must find another way. He racked his brains to let the Zhang family slow down.

After an unknown period of time, an aide in Yan Wang's mansion came to send a message to Zhang Xutang at the order of Yan Wang.

"The king of Jin entered the palace early today and told Jinshang that the person who assassinated him was a garrison outside the capital of the Jingxi Road, and there were waist cards and tattoos as evidence."

Zhang Xutang clenched his fists tightly with both hands, and slammed his right hand against the table, his lips were pursed into a thin line, and his eyes shone fiercely.

Today, he doesn't care who assassinates King Jin, he only cares whether someone will assassinate him.

The garrison moved arbitrarily, which is a big taboo today.

He shouldn't have borrowed these thirty garrisons.

At that time, I was afraid that King Jin was really in the carriage, and it would be a pity to let it go for nothing. I also thought that even if King Jin was not in the carriage, the old guard and the dead soldiers would always succeed in intercepting him. Once King Jin died, the people around King Jin would catch him. It didn't work either.

The appearance of Song Huiyue made him confused, so that the plan went wrong.

His slender eyes turned into black holes, and he fixed his eyes on the staff: "Let King Yan come to see me."
