Lan Lan felt ashamed, and then she realized that Tang Yingzi wanted to buy steamed cakes not for eating, but for leaving a clue for her mother. At that time, the Yellow Turban Army actually controlled Handan City, and they did not need to hide their identities in Handan City. When they came to the Hu family restaurant to buy steamed cakes, everyone could see that they were from Taipingdao.

"Yingzi's mother is also a Taoist sect. She may have practiced Taoism earlier than your master. If she had been the one who assassinated the great sage and good teacher to save Yingzi, it would probably not be impossible."

Feng Yan was skeptical: "This is just the general's guess. Before we meet the saint and her mother, no one can be sure what happened."

Liu Xiu scratched his head. Not to mention that Chu Yan didn't believe it very much, even he didn't believe it very much. Yingzi's father Tang Mao told him in person that shortly after Yingzi disappeared, her mother went crazy. A madman could survive without the care of his family and maintain the strength to assassinate Zhang Jiao?

Faced with the questioning of Ju Yan, Liu Xiu scratched his nose with his tail finger, which was very embarrassed. "If her mother really took her away, I wouldn't be able to find her for a while. You wouldn't think that my brother with a little blood relationship would be even more kinship than her biological mother, right? Speaking of which, this girl has been running out for almost three years, and she didn't give me any news. She is really heartless."

Qian Yan also felt that her request was a bit too much, but based on these alone, she really couldn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xiu.

"Actually, I don't need you Taoist Taiping to believe it at all~-update the starter~~I." Liu Xiu changed his tone, "You know, although my great master and I have similar ideas, we also have many differences. Besides, his robbery of Yingzi, led to the separation of Yingzi and her daughter first. Now that she died at the hands of Yingzi's mother, it is also considered retribution."

"You are the retribution!" Juyan was furious and slapped the table.

Liu Xiu frowned. Wang Zhi had already grown up, and he slapped his hand. With a crisp "pop", the slap made Yan cover his face and stunned. Wang Zhi snorted: "I don't know any rules at all. I really don't know how Zhang Ming taught his apprentice."

"It's okay, Taiping Dao seems to be like this." Liu Xiu sighed: "Ma Qiang is like this, Zhang Ming is like this. No wonder when Zhang Jiao dies, Taiping Dao falls apart. He doesn't know the seniority or inferiority at all, and no one accepts anyone."

Feng Yan's face turned red. The Yellow Turban Army suddenly took a sharp turn for the better of the situation. Although Zhang Jiao's accidental death was the main reason, it had a lot to do with the disagreement between several major disciples inside the Yellow Turban. In order to compete for the God's envoy, Zhang Ming, Ma Qiang and others fought hard. For this reason, they were snatched away by Liu Xiu twice during the preaching in Luoyang. This time they were even more miserable and now they are facing a desperate situation. Yuan Shao is gathering forces to prepare to suppress Heishan. If Liu Xiu sends Zhao Yun to the east from Bingzhou, they will be in trouble.

Qian Yan remembered his mission and had to endure the slap. Although Wang Zhi was not a Taipingdao person, he and Zhang Jiao were brothers and were considered to be Qian Yan’s ancestors. After slapping, they would be beaten. Qian Yan really had no choice but to do anything to him.

Liu Xiu turned a blind eye to Ju Yan's anger and continued, "You want me to confront Yingzi now. If this matter cannot be done, I guess this girl will probably not come back if she doesn't have fun. However, I have a way to confirm this conjecture."

Feng Yan's eyes lit up: "You said."

"I have seen the portrait of Yingzi's mother. I just asked Manager Hu about her face. I can draw a portrait of her for you. It took several months to get Yingzi away by you to rescue Yingzi. I think she must have been wandering around Julu City for a long time. There must be many people who have seen her. You take the portrait to go to the Yellow Turban Army and the refugees to inquire, and you must have seen her."

Qian Yan thought about it and felt it made sense, so she nodded.

"There is another point. I want to go and see where Zhang Jiao died." Liu Xiu pondered, "She is not a professional assassin, and she will definitely leave many clues. It's less than a month now, and there are always some traces that can be left."

Lan Lan said: "But Julu has been occupied by Yuan Shao now, so it is not easy for us to get in."

"It may be difficult for ordinary people to get in, but for you and me, this shouldn't be difficult?"

Lan Lan thought it was true. They were all skilled people, and it would not be difficult to get into Handan City. If it was really possible to find some evidence to prove that the one who killed Zhang Jiao was Tang Yingzi's mother and clear her suspicion of Liu Xiu, it would be better. She and Ju Yan looked at each other and nodded together.

...

After Yuan Shao entered Julu City, Zhang Jiao's yard had become his shogunate, and was very cautious. It was not easy to get in. However, this would not be difficult for Liu Xiu and the others. Luo Yao, a master who was good at Burmese and the Fengyan, who was known as Feiyan, easily sneaked into the small courtyard. In the middle of the night, they sneaked back safely. Fengyan pinched two threads of silk thread in his hand. Without looking closely, he could no longer see his true colors, but the silkyness of the hand was still very good.

"We found it behind the window. We also found the traces she scraped out on the wall with her nails when she squatted there. It was a strange symbol. It was repeated several times. I don't know what it means." Juyan took the paper and pen and drew a talisman. Wang Zhi glanced at it and sneered: "This is a destiny talisman commonly used in talisman art, specially used to make the lives of Fasuo people."

Qian Yan's eyes flashed. She didn't know much about talisman technique, but Tianshidao's talisman technique was relatively clever. I think Wang Zhi would not use this to fool her. With this, she had already believed Liu Xiu's words. Zhang Jiao was probably dead at the hands of Tang Yingzi's mother, and had nothing to do with Liu Xiu, at least it had nothing to do with him.

"I also heard a message." Ju Yan sat down and sat quietly for a moment: "It's related to the general."

"It has something to do with me?" Liu Xiu was surprised. "When did you hear it?"

"Just just now, Yuan Shao was talking to someone in the house, and I was separated from him by a wall."

"Do you want to assassinate him?" Liu Xiu glanced at her, and his heart seemed to be clear.

Qian Yan refused to admit it, nor did she deny it, but just looked at Liu Xiu: "I want to use this news to make a deal with the general."

"Can you make a transaction with just one message?" Liu Xiu became a little impatient, "Let's talk about what transaction you want to do first."

"I hope you can take a trip to Heishan, meet my master, and see the miserable situation of the people in the mountains."

Liu Xiu smiled silently: "Are you afraid that I will not be good for you after I know the terrain?"

"No, if the general wants to be unfavorable to us, he doesn't need to enter Heishan at all. Just block the road to enter Taihang in Heishan West, and many people may starve to death this year." Juyan took a deep breath, then slowly spit out, and said word by word: "Many people, many many."

Liu Xiu scratched his eyebrows and hesitated for a moment: "You said."

"The Yuan family sent someone to Zhuo County to visit the general's family." Ju Yan stared at Liu Xiu's face, not letting go of any strange expression on Liu Xiu's face. Her hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly held together, and her voice seemed a little dry. "They suspected that the general's life experience was hidden, and the general's parents were not as simple as missing."

Liu Xiu was shocked, raised his eyelids, and his sharp eyes fell on Qian Yan's face. Silence was like a huge rock, pressing heavily on Qian Yan's heart. Qian Yan couldn't help but hold his breath, feeling his heartbeat like a drum. Lan Lan noticed Qian Yan's nervousness and couldn't help but be surprised. Wang Zhi and Luo Yao were indifferent and talked casually.

After a while, Liu Xiu suddenly laughed: "Do you want to threaten me?"

Feng Yan's voice was a little hoarse: "No, I just want to make a deal with the general."

Liu Xiu raised his head, suddenly laughed twice, rubbed his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Zhang Ming would have a disciple like you who is smart and good at doing business. Unfortunately, he is only a three-generation disciple. If he were also among the eight major disciples, you wouldn't have been defeated so badly."

Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "The general has won the award. There are more people who are more skilled than me in Taiping Road."

"Maybe, but I didn't see it." Liu Xiu shrugged, thought for a while, and touched the short beard under his jaw and said, "Where are you, don't need to make a trap for me. I know what it means to invite me to Montenegro. It's just to let me see the miserable situation of those refugees first, to feel a little compassion, and then tie me and your yellow turban together and force me to provide you with help, right?"

Qian Yan was a little embarrassed and blushed: "General is so wise. Yan is so overestimating his ability to show off his wisdom in front of the general."

"Okay, okay, don't be humble." Liu Xiu smiled, "Since I'm here, I've naturally been allowed by the emperor. I want to untie each other's suspicion with you, and of course I'm not afraid of being tied to you. In fact, you don't need to spread any news. I guess the Yuan family will also say that I have contact with you. Don't forget that Zhang Jiao was recommended by me when he entered the court. I also fought side by side with your master in Ningcheng, and Lan Lan has been my maid for several months, and this cannot be hidden from anyone."

Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped her cold sweat. She did think of dragging Liu Xiu into the water, but she didn't expect that Liu Xiu would guess it all at once. Fortunately, Liu Xiu didn't mean to care about her. On the contrary, he seemed to be preparing to cooperate with the Yellow Turbans from the beginning. When she thought of the support from Bingzhou, the millions of Yellow Turbans in Black Mountain were alive, she felt much more relaxed.

"As for Bingzhou's support, to be honest, I can't make the decision by myself. I have to go through the emperor's recognition. I don't care if the Yuan family frames me, but if the emperor doubts me, then you can't take it lightly. If you want to get the emperor's support, you have to show your strength."

"What strength do we have?" Qian Yan smiled bitterly.

"Of course there is." Liu Xiu smiled: "You must guard the Black Mountain, make Yuan Shao unable to sleep or eat, make the Yuan family unable to escape from Jizhou, and make the Yuan family regret robbing the land of Jizhou. If you want to trade with me, you must have the capital for the transaction, and this is your capital."!!!
