Chapter 576

The tavern owner lied that he had something to do at home, said he would not charge the guests for their drinks, and drove away several customers who were drinking. Then he simply cleaned up and left the tavern quickly.

Not long after he left, a figure quickly followed him.

And this figure is Chen Mo.

While listening to Xuan Lou, Zhi Hua told her about his identity as a spy, and then on the ship pointed out to Chen Mo the top line monitoring outside Lou's ship.

Later, he performed a scene with Zhi Hua, attracting everyone's attention to the building, and he secretly left Tingxuan Building.

With his strength, no one in Jiangnan would be able to find out if he left secretly.

Zhihua told Chen Mo that every spy trained by Prince Huai's Mansion has a single line of contact, and each action team member has a specialist in charge, so even she doesn't know how many people there are in Qinhuai City. The secret sentry arranged by King Huai.

Chen Mo planned to follow this line and dig out a group of hidden sentries.

The owner of the tavern was very cautious. Chen Mo followed him to a rouge shop in the south of the city and stared at him for an entire afternoon, but did not find him coming out again.

Chen Mo had no choice but to return to Tingxuan Tower. He didn't have so much time to stare at the other party. After confirming that the rouge shop was probably a dark spot, he could just send someone over to keep an eye on him.

Tingxuan Tower has been surrounded all afternoon, no one is allowed in or out, but more and more people are watching the excitement outside. Chen Jun does not let them get close, so they stand and watch from a distance, talking about it.

In the private room, Zhi Hua sat alone. The door that had been knocked down was replaced by an unfolded screen. Outside the private room, there were a group of soldiers guarding the camp.

Suddenly, the window of the private room was pushed open, and a figure turned over and walked in. Zhihua, who was rubbing his feet, saw that it was Chen Mo. His face lit up and he limped forward to greet him. He was about to speak, but he was afraid of letting the people outside Hearing that Chen Mo had just come back, he quickly lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. An Guo."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Why is your voice hoarse?"

"Aren't you afraid that people outside will know that you left, so..."

"So you called for bed all afternoon." Chen Mo finished her words for her.

"That's not true. I call you every once in a while."

The corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched, and he gave her the rouge and paint he bought, and then asked: "Why do you want these things?"

"Dong An Guo feels sorry for the slave and cannot bear to beat the slave. But the news that the slave wants to poison you has been spread in the city. If you just go out intact, it will make people suspicious." Zhi Hua said.

"After all, a person who works as a spy is very careful." As he said that, Chen Mo sat down and watched her put on makeup in front of a bronze mirror. She leisurely played with the tea cup lid in her hand and said, "You I've done it for you. It's been a long time since anyone asked me to do something. You're the first one."

"Dong An Guo's great kindness and virtue, I will never forget it. No matter whether my brother is alive or dead, I will serve Duke An Guo for the rest of my life without any regrets." Zhi Hua turned around and said softly.

Chen Mo did not answer her words, but said: "If what you said online is true, no matter whether you failed this mission or not, you will ask the higher ups to let your brother go, but how can you confirm whether Prince Huai has Let your brother go?"

"When I was separated from my brother, I asked him where he wanted to go when he grew up, and he said he wanted to go to Helan Mountain." Zhihua stopped what he was doing, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and a hint of excitement appeared in his beautiful eyes. The tenderness of human pity, she said:

"Dong Anguo, do you know that Helan Mountain is the back mountain of the slave's family. Every time the slave is beaten by his parents, the slave dare not cry in front of them, because the more he cries, the harder they beat him, and the slave can only run to the back. Shan went to cry, and every time his brother would come to comfort him and make him laugh.

He also told the slave that when he grows up, he will build a big house on the mountain and let the slave live in it, so that no one will beat the slave again."

As she was talking, Zhihua suddenly laughed, because every time her father beat her, he would call her a bastard, a free-earner, a free-earner, so in the eyes of her younger brother, as long as her sister didn't live, At home, if she doesn’t eat from home, her parents won’t beat her sister.

She smiled because she was recalling the good times she had with her brother when she was a child, but soon her eyes turned red and moist again, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"I asked him why he wanted to go to Helan Mountain. Didn't he go there every day when he was a child? Don't you get tired of going there?

He said he couldn't break his promise to his sister. He said he would not only build a big house on the mountain, but also plant flowers around the house, and then wait for her to come back."

Speaking of this, Zhihua suddenly burst into tears.

At this moment, Chen Mo turned into a listener and remained silent.

"So the last time we met, I told him that after everything is over, we will go back to Helan Mountain together. I told him that no one can bully me by then." Zhihua raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes. , and immediately said: "If my brother is really safe and if King Huai lets him go, he will definitely return to Helan Mountain."

Chen Mo understood what Zhi Hua meant. When the time comes, he only needs to go back to Helan Mountain to take a look and inquire about it, and then he will know whether the whole thing is true.

"Okay, I will send someone to Helan Mountain to have a look at that time. If he is found, I will bring him to Linzhou." Chen Mo said: "As for the net in Qinhuai County, we will collect it then."

Hearing this, Zhihua opened her mouth in shock, and a drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She sniffed her nose, then quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and snot, and choked up: "Thank you, Mr. An Guo, you are a good man. "

"A good person?" Chen Mo laughed at himself and said, "Recently, many people say I'm a good person."

"Because you are."

"Stop flattering me, hurry up, it's getting dark." Chen Mo glanced out the window.

"Yeah." Zhihua continued to work.

Looking at her figure, Chen Mo muttered to himself, "I hope you don't lie to me."

"Look, look, the Duke of Anguo is out."

Outside the Tingxuan Tower, as the deck of the building ship was lowered, a team of armored soldiers walked out of the building ship first, and the people who were still outside suddenly made a commotion.

Chen Mo, dressed in a brocade white robe, walked out first, but his face was a little gloomy.

Behind him, Zhihua was escorted by the armored soldiers. Her clothes looked tattered, but there was no trace of spring light. The corners of her mouth were purple and blue with blood, her hair was messy, and the whole person looked pitiful.

She was completely different from when she first entered.

Sun Meng led the rest of the soldiers to get off the boat last. Facing the onlookers, he said loudly: "Okay, we have checked everything. The assassination of Duke Anguo has nothing to do with Tingxuan Tower. Everyone, please go away."

After that, the blockade of Tingxuan Tower was lifted.

On the boat, Qin Hao, who heard this, collapsed to the ground as if he had no bones, and his clothes were soaked.

He still had a trace of fear of surviving a disaster in his heart.

The Xiao family.

When Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan learned about the assassination in Tingxuan Tower, they were stunned. When they heard that it was poisoned, their faces changed drastically. They were worried about Chen Mo's safety. They were relieved when they heard that Chen Mo was fine.

If Chen Mo hadn't sent someone to inform them to stay at home, they would have rushed to Tingxuan Tower as soon as they heard the news.

At this moment, Xiao Yunxi heard the report from the servants and learned that Chen Mo had returned. She hurried out of the villa and walked towards the gate.

The gate of the Xiao family.

Chen Mo was asking Xiao Quan if there was a dungeon in the ancestral house of the Xiao family.

After learning that there was no dungeon in the ancestral house, but there was one outside the city, Chen Mo asked Xiao Quan to vacate a room to imprison Zhihua, and ordered Sun Meng to send people to guard her strictly until he could interrogate her to see if she had any other accomplices.

Zhihua had just been taken away.

Xiao Yunxi and Yue Ruyan hurried over.

"Husband, are you okay?"

"Don't move, don't move, let me take a look."

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Yunxi said a few words, and Yue Ruyan was not good at expressing herself, so she only said one sentence.

Xiao Yunxi came up and circled around Chen Mo.

Yue Ruyan still had a trace of guilt in her eyes.

You know, from the beginning, Yue Ruyan didn't take Zhihua seriously, and simply regarded her as a slutty woman who wanted to seduce her man.

So when Chen Mo went out today, Yue Ruyan didn't remind him to be careful.

Thinking about it now, I am a little scared.

Indeed, with Zhihua's strength, even if she is a warrior, there is a huge gap between her and Chen Mo, a top-grade warrior, and it is impossible for her to hurt Chen Mo.

But if poison is used, it is hard to say.

After all, there have been many examples since ancient times.

Chen Mo shook his head. Even if he returned to the Xiao family, there were so many people and eyes, so he couldn't tell them the details, but said: "I'm fine, let's go in and talk."

The two girls nodded slightly and followed Chen Mo back to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the room, there were no outsiders, and Yue Ruyan's behavior was not so restrained. She pulled up Chen Mo's sleeve and took his pulse.

Yue Ruyan knew a little about medical skills, and could tell whether a person was injured or poisoned by taking the pulse.

After a diagnosis, Yue Ruyan was completely relieved. Her breath was steady and her pulse was strong, which was not the appearance of poisoning.

Xiao Yunxi said, "I really didn't expect that Zhihua was actually an assassin."

Not only did she not expect it, it is estimated that no one in Qinhuai City would have thought that the brothel girl who looked weak and weak, beautiful and charming, was a spy trained by the Huaiwang Mansion.

Yue Ruyan frowned and said, "Who sent her?"

"Who else could it be." Chen Mo sat down and took a few sips of tea. He hadn't drunk water all day today and was really thirsty. He immediately said, "Our old acquaintance Huaiwang, Zhihua is his spy. Zhihua's previous name was Huaying."

"Spy?" Xiao Yunxi raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, and there is more than one spy in Jiangnan, Zhihua. There are many. Zhihua practiced a secret method given by Huaiwang that can conceal the aura of practice, so she can disguise herself as an ordinary person." Chen Mo put down the teapot and said.

"Why did Huaiwang send so many spies to Jiangnan?" Yue Ruyan said.

"What else can it be used for? To monitor the Xiao family and other families in Jiangnan, and to explore intelligence. After all, Jiangnan is so important." Chen Mo sneered and said.

Xiao Yunxi's eyes dimmed slightly. Although she and the King of Huai were no longer married, she still felt uncomfortable when she learned about this. The Xiao family supported him so much, but he actually sent people to monitor the Xiao family.

"Then how did you see through her?" Yue Ruyan asked curiously.

"She took the initiative to confess." As he said that, Chen Mo pulled Xiao Yunxi, who was closest to him, into his arms and let her sit on his lap. Then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the table, saying:

"This is the poison she wants to use. I heard that it is the immortal powder that the King of Huai got from the Western Regions. After being poisoned, even a top-grade warrior will be weak in his hands and feet and unable to mobilize the innate spiritual energy in his body."

Xiao Yunxi struggled for a while, but when she couldn't break free, she let Chen Mo go and said angrily: "After such a big thing happened, do you still have such thoughts?"

"Isn't this okay?" Chen Mo said.

Yue Ruyan quickly asked Zhihua why he took the initiative to confess.

As his own woman, Chen Mo had nothing to hide, so he told them exactly what Zhi Hua told him.

After hearing this, Yue Ruyan's expression did not change much. After all, she was a female general who had been on the battlefield for many years. There were not a thousand but hundreds of people who died at her hands, so she was not touched by this matter.

Compared to Yue Ruyan, Xiao Yunxi, who had rarely seen blood, was somewhat sentimental. After hearing this, she couldn't help but pity Zhi Hua: "I didn't expect that she would be so pitiful."

Yue Ruyan gave a different opinion: "This is just her side of the story. Even if she really found her brother in Helan Mountain, it is possible that she and Prince Huai had colluded long ago in order to gain the trust of her husband. It will be much easier for my husband to take action after he takes off his guard against Zhihua, just like we are now."

"Ruyan is right." Chen Mo lifted up Xiao Yunxi's skirt and gently put his hand on her leg.

Xiao Yunxi's legs are typical "flesh" legs. They are neither thin nor fat. They feel fleshy to the touch, with rounded and smooth curves and very elasticity.

Sensing that Chen Mo's hand was about to reach between her legs, she immediately tightened her legs and said, "In this case, what are you going to do with her?"

"Keep her by your side first and observe slowly. As for whether the brother Zhihua said is real, we will find out by sending someone to the hometown she mentioned to investigate.

In addition, there are Qinhuai's secret whistles. I have discovered two of them today. We can keep an eye on these two secret whistles, and then follow the clues. Then we will catch all of them and interrogate them one by one. We can always judge whether they are true or false. of. "Chen Mo has many ideas.

Xiao Yunxi's face turned rosy, she bit her lower lip and pushed Chen Mo's chest.

This bad guy actually started to kowtow.

Her delicate body became a little weak.

Chen Mo no longer restrained himself, held her head and kissed her heavily, feeling her wetness and sweetness.

The faint smell of rouge floods into the nose, tugging at the heartstrings.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Xiao Yunxi felt something strange coming from her buttocks. She rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and said, "I'm in Tingxuan Tower. Didn't Zhihua feed you?"

Chen Mo pinched her, kissed her fair neck, and said, "I didn't touch her."

"Really, this isn't like you."
