You Miao breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he got into the carriage, and quickly took out the note from his sleeve, which contained only a line of words hurriedly written on the charcoal: "Wait for me after returning to the inn."
It was getting late, and it was getting dark quickly in Da'an. When the lights were lit, the whole city was already dark. You Miao lit the lamp and looked at the note.
"Why does this word look so familiar? Who wrote it?" The more You Miao read it, the more strange it became.
Li Zhifeng was also stunned. The two were pacing in the room. Li Zhifeng said in a trembling voice, "This is..."
As he was talking, there were three soft clicks by the window. Li Zhifeng asked You Miao to retreat to the wall, opened the window, and a man in black rushed in with snowflakes. A palm slashed Li Zhifeng in the face.
"Be careful!" You Miao exclaimed.
Li Zhifeng turned back without even thinking about it. The two of them tried three or five moves, and when they heard the man in black hide under the mask, he let out a low laugh.
"I'm lazy." The man said.
Li Zhifeng closed his fists, and those words stopped in You Miao's ears, like a thunderbolt.
"Big Brother!" You Miao was both surprised and delighted, she jumped up and hugged Nie Dan tightly, overjoyed.
I didn't expect that Nie Dan, who disappeared for many years, would actually appear in Da'an, and even sneak into the East Territory Mansion! You Miao had a hunch that this time, there should be no resistance to their actions!
"Second brother, fourth brother."
Nie Dan let out a long sigh and sat beside the bed. Li Zhifeng went over and closed the window. The three of them looked at each other for a long time without saying a word to each other. You Miao almost cried with joy, and went up to hug Nie Dan again, not saying anything but laughing.
"Okay, okay." Nie Dan took You Miao's hand and asked him to sit beside him. Li Zhifeng poured a cup of tea, and Nie Dan took it and asked, "How is the situation in the south?"
"Everything is fine." You Miao replied, "The third brother has taken care of the country very well."
You Miao didn't want to mention Zhao Chao at first, but thought that since Nie Dan asked, he should have already had an idea in his heart over the years, and it would not be appropriate to avoid the matter of the Southern Dynasty.
Nie Dan drank his tea and nodded thoughtfully. Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "Why did eldest brother go to our clan to be a spy?"
"It's a long story." Nie Dan said, "When the Tartars and the Wuhu went south, the soldiers led by the eldest brother were attacked twice, do you remember? That time, I ran into an ambush and lost the soldiers. , was washed downstream along the Linshui, and all the armor and tokens were lost."
"Remember." You Miao nodded, remembering a period of time when the northern Hu tribes marched into the Central Plains, when the Tartar messenger came with Nie Dan's wrist guards and token, the entire court thought that Nie Dan was dead, which led to the follow-up one. The series of measures hastily panicked, making mistakes over and over again.
"There was a Xianbei girl who saved me that day." Nie Dan said, "Help me heal until I get better and go back to the south."
"Oh—" You Miao looked at Nie Dan, nodded slowly, and remembered that he stayed in Maocheng and married the second sister of the added, and immediately felt so boring. Seeing You Miao's face, Nie Dan quickly explained, "Brother, it's not like you said..."
After Nie Dan finished saying this, he knelt down towards You Miao. You Miao was taken aback and hurriedly helped Nie Dan and said, "Brother, I don't blame you."
Then Nie Dan sat back on the bed and said, "It's my eldest brother, I'm not worthy of Miss Qiao, I'm afraid I'll drag her down."
"It's all over." You Miao said with a wry smile, "Big brother, don't worry about it anymore."
Nie Dan was silent for a long time, and then explained: "Wu Ying saved my life. When I left the Xianbei Ministry, I promised to try to repay her. Later, when I returned to the Xianbei Ministry, I heard that she went out to fetch water a year ago. When, by a group of Tatars... by..."
Neither You Miao nor Li Zhifeng dared to speak, and Nie Dan added, "Later, she stayed in the tribe alone, became pregnant with a Tartar child, and died of a difficult childbirth... After all, it was... a step later."
You Miao nodded and said, "Is she married?"
"Not married." Nie Dan replied in a low voice.
You Miao: "… "
You Miao couldn't ask any more questions, and Li Zhifeng said, "What happened later?"
Nie Dan said: "I wanted to take her son away, but I heard that the Tartars were looting a lot by Linshui, so I wanted to avenge her. When the Tartars came again, I would kill the enemy for the Wuying family to comfort them. She is in the spirit of heaven. After this incident, I adopted her son, and Wuying's parents recruited me as my son-in-law."
"In less than a year, both Wu Ying's parents died of illness, so I took Zhong Yang to hunt in the mountains for a living." Nie Dan took another sip of tea and said lightly: "The Northeastern Quanjun and the Tartars went to war, and the Tartars went to war. The Tars fled to the east. The villagers all moved out one after another. I wanted to bring Zhongyang back to the south and live in the south of the Yangtze River. But when a group of Quanrong people passed by, they were accidentally besieged by the Xianbei people. I rescued Dalek I. As a Xianbei hunter, he infiltrated his team and came to Da'an to inquire about news."
"Where's your adopted son?" You Miao asked.
"I entrusted it to a dog hunter and went to the foot of Changbai Mountain." Nie Dan said, "My name is Kena."
"But that uncle." Li Zhifeng said, "Have you seen him?"
Nie Dan nodded and said, "But that old gentleman is a well-known hunter in your clan. He has no children in his life. When he saw Zhongyang, he liked him very much and was willing to accept him as his apprentice."
"Is this okay?" You Miao always felt that Wu Ying's son, as an orphan, must be willing to live with Nie Dan, and then entrusted him to the Quanrong people. Maybe he was lonely and helpless... He would miss his adoptive father from time to time.
"But that uncle can be trusted." Li Zhifeng nodded and said, "I also learned from him back then. He is Zhebie from the Quan Rong clan, and his status is detached. Even my brother should treat him politely. "
"Boy." Nie Dan said casually, "I have to endure the wind and rain, not to mention that I have to sneak into Da'an to avenge his mother Wu Ying and the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty. Maybe I can't even save my own life. Taking him with him will only add danger, but you can rest assured that eldest brother is not the kind of foolish and brave person, as long as he can retreat this time, he will go back to find Zhong Yang and accompany him to grow up."
You Miao understood, nodded, and Nie Dan added: "Since then, I have stayed in the Da'an Dongyu Mansion, doing errands for the Quanrong people, and wanted to assassinate He Motie'er, but I haven't been able to find a chance to start."
You Miao said with a smile: "We are also planning to come over and kill him. Now that you and Li Zhifeng join forces, the odds of winning are much higher."
"It's not right." Nie Dan shook his head and said, "If he was forcibly assassinated, it would be possible, but no matter how bad the relationship between He Motieer and Batu Khan is, they are still from the Tartar tribe. Killing him without a reason. Taking him will only stimulate the unity of the Tatar army and the people, and increase the resistance of our northern expedition."
"I've thought about this too." You Miao said: "Before I set off, I felt that it was inevitable to kill He Motie'er. The key is how to start..."
You Miao explained his poisoning plan to Nie Dan in detail, Nie Dan pondered for a while, then said: "This method is good, at most half a year, at least three months can cause him to die of chronic poisoning, I don't know if Feel... But how are you going to poison his diet?"
"I'm looking for an opportunity." Li Zhifeng said: "This fellow rarely leaves the General's Mansion, and he doesn't accept anything from the south. Today, we let Sikelan introduce him. If we can successfully connect with Lin Ke, it will be easy."
"He Motie'er came back to Da'an after he suffered our defeat last time, and he made plans to get rid of Batu Khan." Nie Dan said: "I overheard a conversation between him and Gegen once, and Gegen is already expensive. As a prince, I don't often stay in Da'an after being enshrined, but this winter hunting festival, Gegen will come back, as will the major royal families of the Tartars. If He Motieer wants to start, the winter hunting festival is the best opportunity. "
You Miao was ecstatic. He didn't expect that Nie Dan had already mastered so much information. Li Zhifeng frowned and seemed to be in deep thought.
"Have my brother and He Motie'er discussed it?" Li Zhifeng asked alertly.
"Dalek is a very smart person." Nie Dan explained to them: "He will not act rashly, nor will he bet all his bets on He Modier. He listened to half of their plans at the risk of being discovered that day. Afraid that Daleko would notice, he stopped listening. I guess he won't reveal any clues and let He Motieer threaten him."
You Miao said: "Since He Motie'er has a backlash, it's easy to do it!"
"He Motie'er will come to Dongyu Mansion tonight." Nie Dan said, "Why don't we go check the situation? Fourth brother, you just..."
You Miao hurriedly said, "I'm going too! I'm going too!"
