The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 363 Brothel Sealed
"Returning to the lord, my subordinates have personally inspected the vicinity of Baifu Mountain. There are many shacks built there, but there is nothing during the day. But at night, the sound of dong dong resounds non-stop. This subordinate guesses that it is most likely a Armory."

Arsenal?
In other words, King Xia is indeed making weapons privately!
A flash of astonishment flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

In the cell yesterday, in order to escape the catastrophe, Team Leader Chen revealed an address to him, only saying that it was a secret of Zhao Feng, but he didn't reveal much information.

And Zhao Yan believed that since Chen Rong was trying to survive, he would not lie easily, so he arranged for Ling An to go to Baifu Mountain in the suburbs to find out what happened that day.

Unexpectedly, Ling An found out that Zhao Yan actually built a secret armory in the depths of Baifu Mountain.

I thought King Xia knew that Team Leader Chen was in his hands, and for the sake of safety, he would temporarily suspend those unscrupulous activities in his hands. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't appreciate it at all, and continued to do his own way.

"The scale of the arsenal is huge. The subordinates estimate that it has been built for more than three years, and it can supply at least 30 troops with weapons and equipment."

Ling An noticed Zhao Yan's expression, his voice became low and dignified in an instant, and he said cautiously: "Then the king of Xia County made weapons privately, so he has already planned to treason against the court?"

Zhao Yan looked up at him with profound meaning in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

The imperial court has always strictly controlled weapons. Even if Zhao Feng is stationed in the Yunzhong area all year round, if he needs a large amount of weapons, the imperial court will provide them uniformly.

Zhao Feng built the device privately in the deep mountains and old forests, the purpose is self-evident.

If he remembered correctly, the emperor allowed Zhao Feng to build an army of no more than 10 soldiers, and the size of Zhao Yan's arsenal could supply 30 troops, which meant that Zhao Feng had at least 30 soldiers hoarded in his hands.

It will take several months for the court to gather 30 troops across the country, and Zhao Yan now has such a large army lineup in his hands, it is absolutely impossible to complete it overnight.

But he summoned so many people but was not discovered by the court, and the armory was built for more than three years, so the whole plan has probably been laid out for more than five years!

After Zhao Yan thought about it for a while, he felt a cold sweat dripping down his face.

Zhao Feng has held the military power for five years and has not dared to rebel easily. It was indeed too reckless for him to think that he had Huo Xun's support and directly forced the palace.

"Yan'er, no matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally."

Suddenly, what Zhao Feng said when he tested Zhao Feng if he would help him even if he wanted to rebel suddenly echoed in Zhao Yan's ears.

Since he already had the intention of rebelling against him, the reason why he helped him unconditionally was most likely in the name of helping him, allowing him to fight with the prince, and kicking himself away when he succeeded!

"My good uncle, you really have a good plan, but do you think that this king can be taken advantage of so easily?"

Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes suddenly, staring at a void in front of him, his face was dark and unclear.

Ling An guessed what Zhao Yan was thinking, looked over with worried eyes, and said with a hint of anxiety in his voice: "My lord, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? If he wants to use me, he has to ask me if he is willing to be his stepping stone!"

The ink in the eyes was surging, Zhao Yan said this word by word, and a gloomy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Isn't he going to help me? Of course I have to give him a chance!"

……

In Tongcheng, which is only a hundred miles away from Mengcheng, Huo Xun and Li Yan were sitting in a very lively restaurant waiting for the waiter to deliver the food.

Li Yan looked around and suddenly lowered his voice: "General, the two people following us have already sat down."

Huo Xun looked in Li Yan's direction, and sure enough, he saw two sneaky men in front of the table looking towards them, and when he saw him turning his head back, he quickly retracted his head.

"It's just some small fish and small shrimps, don't worry about them for now, tell me, have you found any news about your wife recently?"

Huo Xun's identity has been exposed, and wherever he goes, officials at all levels are warmly received, and he is entangled with them every day.

What Huo Xun couldn't refuse the most was that everyone who came to see him said there was news about Xiao Ruan, but when Huo Xun really met them, the person mentioned by the other party was not Xiao Ruan at all.

Huo Xun was afraid of missing any news about Xiao Ruan, and needed to verify their news one by one. It would be difficult to have a seizure after being cheated by those officials.In desperation, he had to split up with Li Yanbing and search for news secretly, but there were still many tails following behind him, which was really annoying.

"General, we are almost at Mengcheng, but there is no news of Madam along the way. Could it be that we really made a mistake in our judgment?"

Li Yan looked troubled.

He inquired in various places with a lot of people, not a single midwife in the city was spared, even the beggars in the city inquired carefully, but the result was hard to explain.

There were hundreds of women who were in labor or had just given birth in the city, but he inquired one by one, but none of them fit Xiao Ruan's characteristics.The beggars in the city were begging everywhere, and they knew everything about the news in the city, but they didn't find any clues about Zhao Yan from them.

The clues obtained before have also become blurred and unclear with the passage of time, so that Li Yan has begun to doubt whether everything they are doing now has any effect.

"Our judgment will never be wrong. The reason why we can't find any news is very likely that Zhao Feng did it."

Huo Xun did not agree with Li Yan's statement at all.

He has been keeping in touch with the capital, neither Xiao Zhongheng, Lu Hanrui, nor the prince have any news about Xiao Ruan.

According to this, compared with Beijiang, the Yunzhong area is still the focus of his doubts.

Moreover, along the way, he has already discovered that under Zhao Feng's control, the three provinces in Yunzhong are like iron barrels. Unless Zhao Feng's party is willing, news from outside cannot be transmitted at all, and news from here is also extremely difficult to spread.

If Zhao Feng wanted to deliberately conceal the whereabouts of Zhao Yan and Xiao Ruan, he would definitely be fully prepared and would never let them find clues easily.

"Zhao Feng clearly knew that the emperor sent me to go to Beijiang with him to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement, but he didn't send anyone to urge me after half a month on the road. Obviously, he was not as rumored. Loyal to the present majesty, as long as we are more careful, we will definitely find the abnormality."

Huo Xun's voice was extremely low, but his tone was extremely firm.

Hearing his analysis, Li Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but asked: "Is it possible that King Xia and his wife are in Mengcheng?"

"Zhao Feng knew that I was going to Mengcheng, so why would he arrange someone by his side? If I found out that he was with Zhao Yan, he would have no way to argue, and I couldn't get rid of the suspicion."

Huo Xun shook his head and didn't believe that Zhao Feng would be so bold.

Although his influence in Yunzhong is strong, he has always been honest in front of the emperor, which shows that Zhao Feng still dare not be too presumptuous, let alone expose his flaws easily.

To be conservative, he will never arrange Zhao Yan in Mengcheng, and Zhao Yan has a deep affection for Xiao Ruan, so he will not let Xiao Ruan out of his sight either.

This is also the reason why Huo Xun has been inquiring about news in the cloud for so many days and has not gone to Mengcheng for so long.

"The general's words do have some truth, but the problem is that we have almost turned the cloud over and we don't have the slightest clue of Madam, this... this is inevitable..."

There was a lot of voices around, Li Yan frowned and pondered Huo Xun's words for a while, but he still didn't quite agree.And at this moment, an indignant voice suddenly sounded from the opposite table.

"Damn it, even the Yihong Courtyard has been closed recently, and there is one less place for my uncle to hang out. It's really unlucky!"

Yihongyuan is a brothel in Tongcheng, the man ignored the strange eyes of the people around him, and talked about the top names of Yihongyuan in public, but he was full of self-satisfaction, obviously trying to show off.

Before Li Yan could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by this person. Just as he was about to continue, the person started to complain again: "I just said that those people are all brainless. They are looking for pregnant women in brothels." Woman? Ha! Who knows who is pregnant with a child who dares to have..."

Li Yan has been very keen on the word "pregnancy" recently, when he heard a man say that someone is looking for a pregnant woman, he immediately looked at Huo Xun.

But seeing Huo Xun's serious face, Li Yan reacted instantly, straightened his ears and continued to listen to what the man was saying.

"Brothers, listen to see if this makes sense. There are plenty of women in brothels. But if you want to find pregnant women, can you find them? Now this Yihong Courtyard is driving people crazy. I don't know where Xiang'er was sold, it really pissed me off!"

Hearing this, Huo Xun's complexion immediately became extremely ugly, he suddenly stood up from his seat, and rushed out of the tavern under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Seeing this, Li Yan had the same distress on his face, he didn't care about the two people following them on the side, and hurriedly chased in the direction Huo Xun left!
As the man in the tavern said, the three-story building in Yihong Courtyard has been completely empty.

The white seal pasted on the door is eye-catching and dazzling, and there are several strings of big red lanterns fluttering in the wind at the corner of the eaves, which seems to be able to see the prosperity of the past.

Huo Xun stepped forward and took a closer look at the seal, and found that it was sealed today, and the paste on it was not completely dry.

"Little brother, do you know why this Yihong courtyard was closed?"

There were few peddlers on the street, Li Yan went to a mask selling stall and jumped on a black-faced Baogong mask, and then asked calmly as if pretending to be chatting.
