After sending Wu Tong away, Li Shui said to Wu Jiao: "Send steamed buns in the morning and steamed buns at noon. It's almost time. It's time to go to the palace to deliver steamed buns. I won't go today. You can go there for me."

Wu Jiao had been standing next to Li Shui and was listening enthusiastically. When he heard Li Shui sending him away, he was a little unhappy.

He said to Li Shui: "Sir, why don't we go to the palace together?"

Li Shui chuckled and said, "I'm waiting for Zhao Teng."

Wu Jiao muttered in confusion: "Zhao Teng? Isn't Zhao Teng at odds with you? Why are you here?"

However, Li Shui didn't want to go to the palace, and Wu Jiao didn't dare to say anything, so he drove his carriage and steamed buns to the palace alone.

Just when he was about to leave Shangjun's courtyard, the craftsman in charge of the gate said: "Wujiao, do you dare to go to Xianyang City by yourself?"

Wu Jiao asked in confusion: "Why don't you dare?"

The craftsman said: "Today's Xianyang City is not peaceful. Ma Lingshu could be killed on the spot. What about you? Cang Fu priced the buns at a thousand yuan each. How much do you think your carriage buns are worth?

?What should you do if you encounter one or two robbers and steal your buns?"

"It would be fine if they only snatched the buns. But what if after seeking money, they also want to kill people? What should you do?"

Hearing these words, Wu Jiao broke into a cold sweat: "That's right. He is almost pulling a mountain of gold, and he travels in and out of the palace every day. If this makes anyone care about him, something will happen sooner or later."

Wu Jiao pulled the craftsman and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

The craftsman chuckled and said: "A few days ago, assassins came to Shangjun Courtyard, you know, right? Those assassins left behind ten good crossbows. This crossbow is extremely exquisitely made and powerful. Once you hold it in your hand, once you use the skills

, within a hundred steps, whoever is caught will die."

"Why don't you tell Mr. Huai to choose two people from among us to accompany you and hide in the carriage, holding good crossbows. Once someone plots evil, the crossbows will fire at once and shoot him into a sieve. This way, it is not much safer.

Yet?"

Wu Jiao nodded in agreement, discussed with the craftsman again, finalized some details, and then went to see Li Shui.

Li Shui saw Wujiao leaving and coming back, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Wu Jiao said: "I just thought that this carriage bun is worth a lot of money. If it is robbed by gangsters, the consequences will be disastrous."

Li Shui was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right, I didn't expect it."

Li Shui really didn't expect it, because he hadn't turned around yet, and he didn't even think about someone robbing Baozi.

He asked Wujiao: "What do you think?"

Wujiao said confidently: "I heard that ten good crossbows were seized the day before yesterday. I asked you to take out three. Then instigate three craftsmen to me to ambush in the car. If there is a bad guy, the crossbows will be fired at once, and Baozi will be able to be saved."

"

"Besides that, I also think that the main thing is to intimidate, and to supplement by shooting. If you put a flag on the car and it says: escorted by elite troops, it should be able to deter many young people."

Li Shuishen nodded in agreement, handed Wujiao three good crossbows, and said: "Go and pick a few craftsmen, and we will escort you to deliver steamed buns and steamed buns every day."

Wujiao happily agreed and went back to discuss with the craftsman guarding the door.

An hour later, Wujiao set off with three craftsmen.

The four of them were all wearing heavy armor, carrying swords at their waists, good bows on their backs, and crossbows in their hands.

Wu Jiao was sitting on the carriage driving the carriage, while the three craftsmen were following around the carriage, guarding the carriage from different directions and constantly looking around, as if they would shoot suspicious persons into a sieve at any time.

There were two large flags placed on the carriage. One of them said: Escort by Elite Soldiers. The other said: Trespassers will die.

Such a combination has attracted a lot of attention since they left Shangjun Courtyard. However, these people only dared to glance at them secretly, for fear that Wujiao and others would misunderstand them and think that they were provoking.

This situation became even more serious after entering Xianyang City.

The people in Xianyang fled one after another, so that there was absolutely no one within thirty meters of where Wujiao appeared.

The three craftsmen responsible for the escort were very satisfied. They felt that this was the first time they had experienced this kind of majesty after living for so many years.

As for Wu Jiao, he was a little scared: "These Guizhou bosses, what are they hiding from? Are they guilty of being thieves? It turns out there are so many people trying to rob my buns."

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace in great force.

The three craftsmen were not qualified to enter the palace, so they simply stood outside the palace gate and waited.

Wu Jiao took off the sword on his waist, handed over his crossbow, and drove the carriage in wearing only a suit of armor.

…………

In the palace, Fu Yao was telling Wei Young about Li Shui's glorious deeds.

"That day, the bet between Master and Ma Lingshua was at a critical moment. Suddenly, thousands of fine horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep came from the west. They were so numerous that they covered the sky."

"Ma Lingshu's face was pale and he was dying of shame and anger. But at this moment, thousands of fine horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep came from the west..."

"Ma Lingshu made a desperate move and wanted to accuse my master of colluding with the Huns. But at this time, Wang Ben came again with good horses, cattle and sheep. This time Ma Lingshu was completely speechless. Wang Ben, there is no way

Surrender to the Huns."

"Everyone in the civil and military dynasty admires him. My master is so powerful that he actually made his mortal enemy do things for him. This is really unbelievable."

"In short, Ma Lingshu was willing to admit defeat and was taken to Shangjun Courtyard by my master. My master did not kill Ma Lingshua immediately, but forced him to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes. Who knows whether Ma Lingshu will live or die?

Yes. So Master came up with a plan to force him to tell him."

Fu Yao said this and suddenly stopped.

Weiyang asked curiously: "What then?"

Fu Yao chuckled and said, "I feel a little thirsty after talking. Sister, do you have anything good to eat?"

Weiyang stretched out her hand and grabbed Fu Yao's ear.

Fu Yao suddenly shouted in a high voice: "Spare your life, spare your life, I don't know what happens next. Ask Wu Jiao, Wu Jiao knows best."

Wei Yang looked at the time and then said to Siqin: "Go and see if Wu Jiao is here. If he is, call him over."

Siqin agreed and left in a hurry. A quarter of an hour later, she brought Wu Jiao back.

Wei Yang saw Wu Jiao covered in armor and asked in confusion: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Wu Jiao heard about it on the road, and Wei Yang came to find him to hear what he had learned. So he said with joy, "Princess, you don't know something. Xianyang City is in chaos now, and your Majesty is furious."

Weiyang asked: "What kind of chaos?"

Wu Jiao said: "This matter has to start with Ma Lingshu."

Weiyang suddenly became interested and urged Wujiao to speak quickly.

Wu Jiao said: "On that day, Mr. Huai took Ma Lingshu back to Shangjun Courtyard and forced him to tell who was the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Ma Lingshu resisted stubbornly and refused to explain. At night, twenty dead men suddenly came. These twenty men all possess special skills and are very powerful."

"At that time, Mr. Huai and Mr. Li Xin each had a long sword in their hands. They rushed into the middle of the twenty people. They raised the sword and dropped it. They saw blood spurting out and heads rolling."

Wei Yang was very nervous after hearing this, and asked: "Then... what about Mr. Huai?"

Wu Jiao sighed and said: "Last time I heard that Lord Huai killed Wang Li in the tent of ten thousand troops. Because he shot too fast, he killed dozens of people without any blood on his body."

"I didn't believe it at first, but this time, I saw it with my own eyes."

"This time when the slave heard the news, he hurried over. He only saw dead bodies on the ground and rivers of blood. The war was over. General Li Xin must be brave enough, and he could not help but have some blood stains on his body. Only Mr. Huai

, holding a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, standing there as if he were a fairy."

"Under the firelight, I saw clearly that Master Huai didn't even have a drop of blood on his body, let alone being injured."

Weiyang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Wu Jiao added: "Ma Lingshua didn't want to confess who was behind the scenes, but when he saw people sending dead men to kill him, he suddenly became disheartened, so he confessed."

Wei Yang and Fu Yao both asked curiously: "Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Wu Jiao gave a bitter smile and said, "This... I don't even know this. The princess might as well ask Master Huai in person some other time."

In fact, Wujiao knew about it, but the matter was so important that he didn't dare to say anything.

Weiyang nodded, and then asked: "What about Ma Lingshu? Did Huaiguzi kill him?"

Wu Jiao shook his head: "No, Master Huai is a benevolent and loyal man. He forgave Ma Lingshu and ordered someone to take him there... Well, this..."

Wei Yang asked curiously: "Where did you take him?"

Wujiao scratched his head and said with a red face: "I went to the female house."

Wu Jiao blushed because this place was his shame. All men could find confidence in women, but all he saw was inferiority complex.

Weiyang asked in confusion: "Where is Nulu?"

She asked Fu Yao, who was even more confused.

Wujiao coughed dryly and said, "It's a place similar to a restaurant. You can drink, eat, listen to music, watch dances, etc."

The essence of this answer lies in waiting.

Wei Yang and Fu Yao both said oh, it turned out to be a place for drinking and eating, they could imagine this.

Wu Jiao composed himself and said: "That day, as soon as Ma Lingshu walked to the door of the female house, a man suddenly held a dagger and plunged it into his heart. Ma Lingshu died on the spot."

Weiyang suddenly exclaimed.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Jiao described Huai Guzi as a righteous man who dared to impeach the emissary Zhao Teng for the sake of Ma Lingshu, just to catch the murderer and avenge Ma Lingshu's injustice.

Weiyang was fascinated by what she heard and couldn't help but sigh: "Huai Guzi, you are such a righteous man."

…………

"Huai Guzi, you are such a villain." Zhao Teng cursed secretly, took out 100,000 yuan and gave it to the craftsman guarding the gate. Then he entered Shangjun Villa.

He didn't want to come to see Huaiguzi, but he had to. Ma Lingshu's death was inextricably linked to Huaiguzi.

He had to come here to inquire. But he didn't expect that one hundred thousand dollars had already been spent before he even saw Huai Guzi's face.
