Chapter 335: Escape at Night
Gu Yungang hurriedly walked through the hand-copying verandah, turned the rockery, passed through the Yuhua Pavilion, and came to Yan Shichong's study.
As the person with the highest martial arts under Yan Shichong, he has gradually been reused by Yan Shichong recently.
Yan Shichong was practicing calligraphy in the study, and when he saw him come in, he immediately put down his pen and asked, "How is the matter going?" ”
"Lord Hui, Wei Yuanting really has contact with people outside." Gu Yungang said.
"Who?" Yan Shichong looked at him with blazing eyes and asked.
Two months ago, Yan Shichong's doorman Du Liu privately reacted to Yan Shichong, saying that Wei Yuanting occasionally went out alone in the middle of the night.
At that time, Yan Shichong didn't think so, because the doormen had the right to go out.
But then I couldn't help but be vigilant when I thought about it.
Because generally speaking, when the doormen go out, they will ride in a carriage or on horseback, and there are people who follow them. But Wei Yuanting often went out without riding a carriage, riding a horse or bringing an entourage, and the most suspicious thing was that he only went out in the middle of the night.
As the most powerful subordinate by Yan Shichong's side, Wei Yuanting naturally knew Yan Shichong's every move. In this way, if one of Yan Shichong's important plans was leaked by Wei Yuanting, the consequences would be conceivable. In order to prevent the leakage of the machine/secrets, Yan Shichong began to send people to monitor Wei Yuanting's every move.
Soon after, these people assigned to spy on Wei Yuanting reported to Yan Shichong that Wei Yuanting had secretly gone out twice in just twenty days, and each time in the middle of the night. At this time, Yan Shichong was really suspicious of Wei Yuanting.
In order to find conclusive evidence, Yan Shichong sent Du Liu to follow Wei Yuanting a month ago.
Even if there is doubt in the heart. Even though the two often disagreed, Yan Shichong still recognized Wei Yuanting's talent, so he always regarded him as his confidant, so he couldn't help but feel cold when he heard Gu Yungang's report.
"One is called Li Zhitong, the other is called Feng Zichao, and the other is too good at secret work, so I can't see his true face clearly." Gu Yungang replied in a low voice.
The person who disappeared in front of him before he had time to see his true face should have extremely high martial arts and great experience in walking the rivers and lakes, this is the impression that person left on Gu Yungang.
It happened in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, when he followed Wei Yuanting to the small teahouse on the second floor of Juyuanting, but the person who met Wei Yuanting wore a hat with a very low brim. So he could only see the other man's chin. In addition, the entourage around the other party walked around the other party from time to time, thus blocking his view, so he was never able to determine the identity of that person.
"What do those two do?" Yan Shichong tried his best to stabilize his emotions and asked.
Since the identity of the mysterious person is still a mystery, let's find out the identities of those two people first.
"Your Excellency. The truth of the matter may surprise you. Gu Yungang said.
"Straight to the point." Yan Shichong said.
"They are Yan Jinxuan's right-hand men."
"What?" Yan Shichong's face suddenly changed.
"The small ones can be determined. They often met with Yan Jinxuan. Gu Yungang added.
Yan Shichong's eyes were about to burst into flames.
In this way, Wei Yuanting, Li Zhitong, and Feng Zichao are all in the same group as Yan Jinxuan. No wonder every plan in the past few years has gone so smoothly, it turns out that there is a traitor.
And this traitor turned out to be sent by Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan, Yan Jinxuan, you are ruthless!
But now that I've discovered your plot. Then I will definitely not let you go again this time, Yan Shichong said in his heart, and at the same time clenched his fists.
"List the people Wei Yuanting has met in the past month, the time and place he went to see them, and give me them." Yan Shichong said to Gu Yungang.
Gu Yungang took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and said, "It's listed, please take a look." ”
Yan Shichong took a look, and immediately the whole person stayed there.
It turned out that on the first day and the day after he decided to build three underground warehouses, Wei Yuanting had a record of going out: once to see Li Zhitong, and once to meet the mysterious person.
This kind of thing of making weapons without permission must not be known to others, and what happened to the Seventh Prince back then was a warning. Now that Wei Yuanting secretly went to see Li Zhitong and the mysterious person in those days, it means that Wei Yuanting is very likely to have informed Yan Jinxuan of this news through Li Zhitong, and Yan Jinxuan's friendship with the three princes is so good, maybe he has already informed the three princes of this news.
Once the third prince informed the emperor of this matter, Yan Shichong would be executed by the emperor every minute.
No, this information must not be allowed to leak out in the slightest.
So Yan Shichong said to Gu Yungang: "Tonight, you help me kill Wei Yuanting and bring his head to me." ”
"Yes." Gu Yungang came out with the order.
Afterwards, Yan Shichong said to another subordinate: "Immediately gather three hundred dead soldiers, I will use them tomorrow." ”
"Yes." This subordinate was immediately ordered to go out.
It was night, and after dinner, Wei Yuanting sat in his room reading a book as usual.
For some reason, his right eyelid was jumping hard today.
There is a folk saying that 'the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster', he knows this saying, but he has never believed in this.
He rubbed his right eye, which was beating heavily, and thought that maybe it was because of lack of sleep, so he decided to go to bed early tonight.
With a thud, a dark shadow flew through his window.
His whole body suddenly became vigilant.
The people who lived in the same courtyard with him were all Yan Shichong's doormen, who were either talented or strong in martial arts, and they were all people who could not be underestimated. Wei Yuanting was well aware of his identity, so he only maintained a superficial friendly relationship with them.
And because he had no close friends here, he was wary of any of them.
The dark shadow just now was enough for him to notice.
So he had just laid down and immediately sat up.
To cover his eyes, he quickly wrapped the quilt in a human figure, then he took off his coat, put on a body armor for himself, and then put it on again.
After doing this, he quietly hid in the corner of the door.
After a while, he heard someone walking on the roof of his room.
Could it be that someone has penetrated his identity? He thought to himself.
In the past few years under Yan Shichong's disciples, he often worried about this matter, and now he suddenly felt that someone should know about him.
He didn't let himself linger any longer, but packed some important things into his bag, and flew out of the back window of the room with his luggage and sword in his hand.
The courtyard at midnight was quiet, and Wei Yuanting immediately jumped over the low wall next to him after leaving the room, and his footsteps flew through the large flower garden to the last wall of the Yan Mansion.
He looked around quickly, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he made a secret effort, and soon climbed over the high wall and fell to the ground.
He did not linger long, and immediately ran towards a path to the east.
Suddenly, he felt a whirring wind in his right ear, and he hurriedly looked to the right, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he continued to run.
He planned to find a place to settle down first, and then pass on his letter to Yan Jinxuan through Li Zhitong.
In the letter, he was going to remind Yan Jinxuan to pay attention to Yan Shichong's recent actions, and by the way, he said goodbye to Yan Jinxuan in the letter.
After being undercover for nearly three years and having some achievements, Wei Yuanting felt that it might be the right time to leave now. (To be continued.) )
PS: Dear friends, the third watch is coming. Good night!
