Chapter 668: Conspiracy
After beheading Zhang Long, Xia Yu and Li Tie returned to the post house. As soon as everyone arrived at the post house, the post man came to report that Zhang Cheng wanted to see him.
When Xia Yu arrived at the reception hall, Zhang Cheng smiled, arched his hand towards Xia Yu, and shouted: "General Xia." ”
Xia Yu frowned, looked at Zhang Cheng, and thought to himself that Zhang Long was also Zhang Cheng's younger brother, his younger brother had just been beheaded, but Zhang Cheng was indifferent, and smiled, it didn't make sense to be reasonable, it seems that there must be something greasy in this.
Xia Yu smiled and asked, "What is the reason why City Lord Zhang is here?"
Zhang Cheng said: "General Xia, when will the third prince arrive in Grizzly City?"
Xia Yu looked at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Zhang Cheng always asked him the same question in the past few days, which had to make Xia Yu suspicious.
Zhang Cheng saw Xia Yu's doubts and said: "General Xia, I don't mean anything else, I just want to bring the third prince to Grizzly Bear City to show loyalty, and when the third prince ascends to the throne in the future, I will also be a good conglomerate." ”
It turned out that Zhang Cheng was a heartless snob, Xia Yu pouted and said, "The third prince has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he will arrive in Grizzly City early tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Cheng was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, "Okay, okay, I've vacated my house and used it as a palace for the third prince, just waiting for the third prince to come." ”
The next morning, Xia Yu and Zhang Cheng took people outside Grizzly City to prepare to welcome Jiang Xiaobai.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, a team came slowly, Zhang Cheng was very excited, and shouted: "It's coming, it's coming, the third son is here." ”
The officers and soldiers of the Thieves Alliance gathered around a luxurious carriage and stopped outside Grizzly City, Zhang Cheng ran over, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted: "Grizzly Bear City advocates success, knock on the third son, long live the third son, long live the third son, long live, long live, long live......
"Slow," someone in the car shouted.
Zhang Cheng looked up and saw that a fat man got out of the car, Zhang Cheng felt strange, although he had never seen Jiang Xiaobai, but he had heard people say that Jiang Xiaobai was a thin man, how did he become a fat man? When he became the generalissimo of the alliance of thieves, he became corrupt?
The fat man got out of the carriage, Xia Yu and Li Tie were very surprised, stepped forward, and said, "Big brother, why are you?"
This fat man is Jin Tycoon, Jin Tycoon said: "The third child has something to deal with, come over a few days later, I will make an outpost for him first." ”
Zhang Cheng learned that the fat man in front of him was not Jiang Xiaobai, and he couldn't hide his disappointment.
Xia Yu said: "City Lord Zhang, this is the young master of the gold shareholder of Vientiane Trading Company, and the sworn brother of our third son." ”
Zhang Cheng was in awe, looked up at Jin Daheng, and said again and again: "It turned out to be Young Master Jin, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Kim Tycoon smiled politely and arched his hand at Zhang Cheng, thinking to himself, this guy is really a snob, disgusting.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Young Master Jin, please come into the city, I have prepared a banquet for Young Master Jin." ”
Jin Daheng said: "Okay, I'm really a little hungry after a long journey. ”
Jin Daheng, Xia Yu and Zhang Cheng entered Grizzly City. Zhang Cheng set up a banquet in the city lord's mansion, and everyone ate and drank until the evening.
The post house in Grizzly City was very large, and Zhang Cheng sent someone to clean out a courtyard and arranged for Jin Daheng and a few followers to live in.
At night, Xia Yu and Li Tie went to visit Jin Daheng, and the three brothers sat in the room chatting. While chatting, Jin Daheng's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly: "Old pimple, what are the places for fun in this grizzly bear city?"
Xia Yu frowned and said, "Boss, can you be a little serious?"
Jin Daheng said: "I have been suffering in the barracks for so long, I am really panicked, and now I have finally arrived in a bustling city like Grizzly City, how can I be willing not to play? ”
Jin Daheng grinded hard and foamed, which made Xia Yu helpless, so he had to say: "I'll take you there, can't I take you there?"
Jin Daheng was elated, patted Xia Yu's shoulder, and said, "Old pimple, I knew you were interesting." ”
Xia Yu, Li Tie and Jin Daheng quietly slipped out of the inn, and because of the curfew, the streets were deserted and there was no one to be seen.
Jin Daheng said with a smile: "I heard that the woman in Grizzly City is tall and white, beautiful as a fairy, and an old pimple, have you ever understood it?"
Xia Yu made a straight face and said, "I'm different from you, I'm a serious person." ”
Jin Daheng slapped Xia Yu's chest, "What are you pretending, people are people, it's hard to say if you're serious or not." ”
Xia Yu pursed his lips and said, "Send you to the Qinglou, my second brother and I will leave immediately, otherwise we will be recognized, and we can't afford to lose that face." ”
Jin Daheng's eyes widened and he said, "What's so embarrassing about drinking flower wine?
Li Tie waved his hand beside him and said, "Okay, okay, boss, we can't talk about you, so you can say a few words and spare us." ”
Kim said: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and I always think of my brothers when there are good things." You're welcome, I'll invite you both to this dinner tonight. ”
As Jin Daheng was talking, Li Tie stopped next to him and said, "There is an official patrolling the street in front. ”
Xia Yu looked up and saw that there were really two officials in the distance, and Xia Yu himself issued a curfew, which he couldn't destroy and slap himself in the face.
Xia Yu pulled Jin Daheng and whispered: "Hide quickly, don't let the official see it." ”
Jin Daheng muttered dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just to drink a flower wine, and not to be a thief, sneaky, as for it?"
Jin Daheng prides himself on being a fair and honest person, and he must be bold when he goes to drink flower wine.
Xia Yu and Li Tie didn't want to talk nonsense with Jin Daheng, so they pulled Jin Daheng and hid in an alley. Xia Yu cautiously looked out and saw two officials swaggering in the middle of the road.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed on the side of the road, and the two officials became nervous, drew their knives, and shouted, "Who is it!?"
The dark shadow stopped, it was a man in a nightwalker, and the nightkin made a silent gesture, walked up to the two officials, and said a few words to the two officials.
Due to the distance, Xia Yu couldn't hear what the nightkin and the official messenger said, but after the nightkin finished speaking, the two officials immediately put away their knives, were very respectful to the nightkin and let the nightkin leave.
Xia Yu felt that the nightcrawler was very weird, and he said to Jin Daheng and Li Tie: "You are waiting for me here." ”
Jin Daheng is a person who understands and can see the priorities, he nodded and told Xia Yu to pay attention to safety.
Xia Yu tiptoed, like a black cat in the dark night, chased after the nightcrawler, and quietly followed behind the nightcrawler.
The nightcrawler's cultivation was not high, and he didn't notice that Xia Yu was following him behind, so he ran to the door of a large mansion in one go, knocked on the courtyard door, and entered the mansion.
Xia Yu stopped outside the courtyard and glanced up at the plaque on the courtyard gate, which was engraved with the three big characters "City Lord's Mansion".
This mansion is the city lord's mansion, Jiang Xiaobai will live here in a few days, what is that nightcrawler doing in there?
With doubts, Xia Yu turned over and entered the City Lord's Mansion, which was deserted and pitch black.
Since the City Lord's Mansion was designated as Jiang Tengjiao's palace, Zhang Cheng and his family moved out of the City Lord's Mansion, and only some guards, family members, and maids were left in the City Lord's Mansion.
Xia Yu heard the sound of talking in the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, so he followed the sound and came to the vicinity of the main house of the mansion. The main house of the mansion was originally Zhang Cheng's bedroom, and it will become Jiang Xiaobai's bedroom in a few days.
Xia Yu saw a group of people holding torches and gathering in front of the main house, and one of them commanded and shouted: "You all give me a long snack, don't show any horses' feet." Jiang Xiaobai's guards are not idle people, if they find out and we set up a mechanism in the house, all our efforts will be in vain. When the time comes, the lord of the castle will have to screw your heads off!"
Xia Yu looked at it and was taken aback, the person who spoke turned out to be Zhang Long, wasn't Zhang Long beheaded?
Scenes flew through Xia Yu's mind, Xia Yu figured out that the one who was killed was not Zhang Long at all, but Zhang Long's stand-in, no wonder Zhang Cheng was indifferent when he saw Zhang Long being killed.
Zhang Cheng not only impersonated and cheated for personal gain, but he also wanted to set a trap in the city lord's mansion and assassinate Jiang Xiaobai.
Xia Yu was shocked into a cold sweat, if he hadn't found out in time, Jiang Xiaobai would have been dazed and ignorant, and he really lived in the City Lord's Mansion, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xia Yu quietly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, came to the street, and found Jin Daheng and Li Tie.
Kim asked, "Where have you been?"
Xia Yu said: "That Zhang Cheng set a trap in the City Lord's Mansion to kill the third brother, let's go back to the post house quickly and inform Changsheng and Shuangyan of them." ”
Jin Daheng was taken aback and said: "Zhang Cheng, that bastard, actually wanted to harm the third child, but fortunately, you found out in time." ”
Xia Yu, Jin Daheng, and Li Tie returned to the post house and told Liu Changsheng and Leng Shuangyan about Zhang Cheng's conspiracy.
Liu Changsheng and Leng Shuangyan were angry and said, "That Zhang Cheng has a knife hidden in his smile, it's really not a good thing. ”
The more Liu Changsheng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he scolded a lot of foul words.
Xia Yu interrupted Liu Changsheng and said, "Now is not the time to scold, we should act immediately, capture the thief first, capture the king first, and arrest Zhang Cheng." ”
Jin Daheng, Li Tie, Leng Shuangyan, and Liu Changsheng all agreed with Xia Yu's idea, and with lightning speed, they arrested Zhang Cheng and pacified Grizzly City.
When Xia Yu and Li Tie arrived in Grizzly Bear City, they brought 200 warriors, and Jin Daheng also brought 100 warriors this time, and Xia Yu wanted to gather these 300 warriors.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and an entourage ran in in a panic and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, the officers and soldiers have fenced off our post house. ”
