Chapter 488: Late Night Agent

Hong Xue and Nangong Yi both shook their heads, obviously unable to guess the trick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoNangong Yi has always been careful, and when he saw that he couldn't see any clues in the backyard, he moved his eyes to the front yard.

In front of the wings and pavilions in the front yard, there were guards, and every one or two meters there would be two officers and soldiers with knives standing with their heads held high, with blank expressions. If you don't look closely, it's clear that those people are statues of gods carved there.

Nangong Yixin said: There is no one to take care of this backyard, and there are no lights and candles, is it a row of empty houses? If there is a row of empty houses in the back, then the front must be where General Hu's deliberations are. Judging by the closely watched guards, there are ten* points in that pavilion that are the place of discussion. I don't know what the origin of this General Hu is, so I might as well go and see it first, and act at the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yi shook his head slightly to Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue, and said in a low voice: "That pavilion!"

Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue immediately understood, and the three of them lifted their breath slightly, and turned sideways and pointed along the top of the row of side rooms, and the place they went happened to be the top of the pavilion. After settling down, Nangong Yi made a gesture of boosing, and immediately took advantage of it, and leaned on the roof of the building to listen to the movement inside.

Hong Xue and Gongsun Yu were naturally curious, and they both leaned on the roof of the building and listened attentively.

I only heard a rough voice say: "Brother Liu, what you did today can be described as a send-off in the snow, we received a flying pigeon from the king of Ruyang a few days ago, he said that after the Hongchen envoy arrived in Hengyang, he did not immediately go to the Dianjing Pavilion, but took the lead in arranging people to block the four city gates of Hengyang City.

After doing the follow-up work, Hongchen made it to go to the Jingjing Pavilion to meet Mu Shaobai. It's a pity that although Hongchen made everything seamless, when he rushed to the Dianjing Pavilion and killed all the 113 people in the Dianjing Pavilion, he found that there were only 110 corpses.

In other words, three of them had left the Pavilion before that, and their whereabouts were unknown. The most important thing is that among these three people, there is a bit of Mu Shaobai, the master of the Eye Pavilion. This time, the king of Ruyang ordered me to wait to arrive in Xiangtan City, although I have not explained my intention for the time being, but based on the general's guess, most of it is also for Mu Shaobai's affairs. ā€

When the rough voice said this, a shrill voice suddenly asked, "General, in this way, Mu Shaobai has come to Xiangtan?"

The rough voice groaned slightly: "This general is not sure, neither the King of Ruyang nor the Hongchen Envoy have given me news that Mu Shaobai, the master of the Dotting Pavilion, has come here. It's just that before dusk today, I received a flying pigeon message from the Red Dust Envoy, saying that he had met the descendants of the Nangong family in Hengyang City and fought with them. Judging from his skills, his internal strength can be described as powerful.

He asked me to keep an eye on the blockade of the entry and exit gates, in case those people come to Xiangtan. ā€

At this time, another hoarse voice responded: "The people of the Nangong family are not dead yet?"

The rough voice said, "Since the Red Dust Envoy said so, it must be true. The reason why everyone is here tonight is to lay out the overall situation for tomorrow. In order to ensure that the news was not leaked, King Ruyang didn't even say half a word. It's just that I am here with my people, and then I will use the personnel of the various prefectures and yamen, and we will act as soon as the news comes tomorrow. ā€

The shrill voice said: "The general can rest assured about these things, just after you finished telling your subordinates about this matter, I notified the local government offices in Xiangtan, mobilized people overnight, and waited for the general to give the command tomorrow, and then divide the troops to attack." ā€

The rough voice said: "If it weren't for Master Liu and you to take care of things in advance, how could Ben General say that you are a charcoal in the snow." It's just that I don't understand, how can a mere Mu Shaobai let King Ruyang have such a big movement? Not only King Ruyang, but even the Hongchen Envoy seems to attach great importance to this matter, I really can't guess King Ruyang's thoughts!"

At this time, everyone also echoed: "Yes, yes, how can we guess the Ruyang King Shensi, it must be a lot of money!"

I only heard the rough voice and smiled: "Yes, yes, King Ruyang's mind has always been known for his sword going sideways, we don't have to guess, we will know tomorrow." Do you remember what you just said?"

Those humanitarians: "General rest assured, everything is under control!"

In this case, it is getting late at this time, so let's go back and rest!"

When Nangong Yi and the others heard this, they all got up and glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other. I saw three figures galloping under the moonlight, and the breeze gently fluttered on their clothes, as if three gods had descended to earth.

After Nangong Yi Gong Sun Yu and Hong Xue left the roof of Liufu, they flew and landed at a corner behind the alley. Looking up, the gate of Liufu was opened from the inside with a "creak" in the moonlight. Then out of the gate came five men in official uniforms or robes, and when they left Liufuzhi, they walked towards an alley on the right, each of them followed by two or three guards.

After these people left the Liufu, they didn't say a word, as if they didn't know each other, and when they turned the dark place of the alley, the group disappeared without a trace.

Nangong Yi looked at those people, and his thoughts were uncertain. From the words of General Hu just now, it can be heard that the fake Qiu Xi turned out to be a Hongchen envoy, and he was connected with the important minister of the dynasty, King Ruyang. This time, Wang Feige of Ruyang passed a letter to this General Hu, although he did not explain what he was doing, but judging from the gathering of so many officers and soldiers, it would probably not be a trivial matter.

Since the Pavilion Master was not killed by the so-called Red Dust Envoy, he could still inquire about him at this time. If Mu Shaobai is really in Xiangtan, then there is no need to work too hard, just let Wei Daxia help, and he will definitely be able to find him.

Nangong Yi thought so, but seeing that Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue were looking at those people in a trance, probably thinking of countermeasures, Nangong Yi said: "Brother Hong, Brother Yu, let's go back now, you also heard what General Hu said just now, even he himself doesn't know the actions sent to him by King Ruyang." Originally, we could have captured a soldier or an official to inquire about it, but now it seems that we can only wait until after dawn tomorrow. ā€

Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue saw that the officials had disappeared into the darkness, so they turned around and said, "For the sake of today, this is the only way, but we want to see what kind of wishful thinking that King Ruyang is playing." ā€

After the three of them finished speaking, they turned back to the place. This place is not very far from the Fushun Inn, the sky is dark, there are not many pedestrians in the streets, except for the man who fights the watchman, holding a wooden stick and shouting while knocking.

The three of them started light work, and they returned to the Fushun Inn after a short time. But the two rooms were occupied by Mo Ziyan and Xin'er, so the three of them had to fly to the roof of the Fushun Inn to sit and chat.

The breeze is like water, and the cheeks feel extremely refreshing. There was no noise in the middle of the night, but there was a little whispering of flying insects, thinking that they were foraging for food at night.

The three of them chatted for an hour, and then lay down on the roof together, squinting their eyes and taking a nap.

In less than three hours, a rooster crow was heard in the distance, shattering the first mist of the morning. At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and there is a faint whitish fish maw in the distance, presumably not long after, the brilliance of the morning sun can pierce the gray mist on the horizon, shooting out ten thousand golden lights.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps coming from a distance, Nangong Yi was disturbed by this sound and woke up, listening attentively, this sound came from the market in front of the Fushun Inn. Nangong Yi thought to himself: "Even if there are merchants and traders who get up early or villagers who buy and sell fruits and vegetables, they won't get up so early. It's just after dawn, and no one will walk around the streets. ā€

Nangong Yi sat up from the top of the building, and Hong Xue and Gongsun Yu next to him were also woken up by this voice. As soon as Gongsun Yu opened his eyes, he saw Nangong Yi sitting upright on the green tile, and said in surprise: "Brother Nangong, why did you get up so early?"

Gongsun Yu opened his mouth, and Hong Xue also felt strange, but he seemed to notice the faint noise in the distance, and his eyes kept turning back and forth.

Nangong Yi's face turned suddenly, and his eyes didn't move, and he said, "Brother Yu, Brother Hong, what sound did you hear?"

Hong Xue and Gongsun Yu looked at the gray houses downstairs and the bluestone street halfway down, and said at the same time: "What, you heard it too?"

Nangong Yi nodded and looked at the street in front of the Fushun Inn and said, "The voice is coming from over there, it is impossible for someone to open the market so early, I want to ......"

Nangong Yi said this, and Hong Xue said, "Brother Yi Nan means that this voice is from the government?"

Nangong Yi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

When Gongsun Yu heard this, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Then let's go with him, didn't that General Hu say that King Ruyang gave him news today, presumably he has already received an order at this time!"

Nangong Yi said: "Then go down first to wake up Xin'er and Miss Mo, and let's go together if you want to go." ā€

Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue nodded, and then the three of them jumped off the roof gently. At this time, the door of the Fushun Inn has not yet opened, there is a faint morning mist in the streets and alleys, and there is no pedestrian.

Nangong Yi stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door of the Fushun Inn, and it was the shopkeeper who received them last night who came to open the door. The shopkeeper muttered as he opened the door: "There are people staying in the hotel for dinner so early!"

As soon as the door opened, Nangong Yi saw that he was sleepy-eyed, obviously not waking up yet, and was daydreaming. As soon as he saw Nangong Yi and the others, the shopkeeper was suddenly shocked and said, "It turned out to be a few of you guest officers, why didn't you stay in the shop last night?"

Nangong Yi smiled and said, "I went out last night, I didn't tell my little brother, and now I'm going on the road!"

The shopkeeper's expression was stunned, and he probably couldn't guess why Nangong Yi and the others went out in the middle of the night for a while, and he didn't let himself see it, and then he smiled and said: "The guest officer is really in a hurry, since this is the case, then I will go to greet the shopkeeper and settle the bill for all the guest officials." ā€

Nangong Yi nodded, immediately said no more, and strode into the inn, followed by Gongsun Yu and Hong Xue. According to the number of the two guest rooms given by the shopkeeper last night, Nangong Yi and the others came to the two guest rooms next to each other on the second floor, and then raised their hands and knocked on the wooden door of one of the guest rooms.

After a while, the door of the guest room opened, and a woman in red walked out of it, and this woman was Mo Ziyan.

When Mo Ziyan saw that Nangong Yi and the three of them were all guarding the door of the guest room, she was surprised and said, "Boy, what are you knocking on the door so early?"

Nangong Yi looked at Mo Ziyan, and saw that there was no tiredness or anxiety in her eyes, so she thought that she should have woken up a long time ago. There was no one left and right, so Nangong Yi said directly: "There will be something big happening today, the government has already made some moves, let's go over and take a look, see what these people are going to do!"

Mo Ziyan glanced at the three of them and said, "Did you find anything last night?"

Nangong Yi said: "I'll talk about these things on the road, now pack up and go on the road!"

Mo Ziyan saw Nangong Yi's solemn words, and saw that Hong Xue and Gongsun Yu wanted her to bow slightly, so she no longer hesitated, and immediately returned to the guest room to clean up.

Then Hong Xue knocked on the wooden door of another guest room, and only after half a sound did she hear a voice from inside: "Who, come knocking on the door so early, I haven't woken up yet!"

The three of them laughed secretly when they heard this, and Hong Xue said: "Xin'er, I'm your big brother Hong, we have something to do today, and we're going to go on the road now, you can quickly get dressed and come out to wash up and go." ā€

After Hong Xue finished speaking, the three of them went downstairs. After a while, Mo Ziyan had already washed up and sat at the round table next to the three of them, and after a long time, she saw Xin'er coming down from the upper floor in a daze, and it seemed that she hadn't woken up yet.

The matter was urgent, Nangong Yi didn't care about joking, and immediately entered the counter of the inn, when the boss had just come out, and after settling the bill, a group of five people left the Fushun Inn.

After this wait, the light of the morning sun has pierced the eastern sky, and a slight twilight of dawn seems to hit from the top on the left, giving people a sense of dizziness in confusion.

Seeing that everyone was in such a hurry, Xin'er was very puzzled and unhappy, and muttered: "Brother Yi Nan, what are we doing so early, don't you even eat breakfast?"

Nangong Yi replied as he walked: "Last night we explored a place called Liufu, where there was a person named General Hu, who sat down with officials from various prefectures and yamen in Xiangtan. From their mouths, I learned that today, the important minister of the court, King Ruyang, was going to send a secret order to that General Hu, thinking that there was something important for him to do, which made him gather so many officers and soldiers here.

Just now I heard faint footsteps in the distance, judging from the sound, there should be a large number of people walking, so early to go out for a walk, I think there should be no one else except for that General Hu, so I called you to go and take a look. ā€

When Mo Ziyan heard this, she nodded thoughtfully and said: "So that's the case, even the King of Ruyang is in the same group as those people, and the origin of the purple-robed people is really mysterious!"

Gongsun Yu said: "Not only that, but listening to what General Hu said, he received a flying pigeon from the purple-robed people before dusk yesterday, which means that we in Hengyang City talked about the battle between us and the purple-robed people, and asked that General Hu to pay more attention, and when doing the things ordered by the King of Ruyang, he also checked the whereabouts of us and others in Xiangtan by the way."
