Chapter 307: Night Banquet (2-in-1)
After being treated by Mu Lao, Wen Sheng slept sweetly, feeling much better, his headache was greatly relieved, and he could finally think about something seriously.
She remembered that Zhong Tianzheng did say yesterday that he would visit the enemy camp at night, so he simply gathered everyone together.
A group of five people plus Qi Qin, this is the first time that everyone has sat down to discuss how to rescue Li Chengyun after coming to Yu Quan.
Now their eyes are dark, they don't know what the situation is in Baizhou Prison, and they don't know what the arrangements for Dongyi are planning to do, and they are waiting to be straightened out, even if Zhong Tianzheng has a big package, Wen Sheng feels very unsteady in his heart.
As for Qu Jun, he was even more uneasy, and there was no half-point.
He should mention yΓ¬ first: "In the past two days, I have talked to the guys of the trading house, and I have a general understanding of the garrison of the Dongyi garrison in the city, and I am going to explore the road with Brother Dong tonight, and Yun Daxia will also go together." β
He didn't invite anyone else, in his mind, the occasion next to the musician can play a big role, exploring the way and stepping on the point is completely cumbersome, there is no need to think about it, as soon as the instrument of the night is sounded, it is a live target, and he can only stay to watch the house.
Yun Lu couldn't help but show sympathy when he heard this, was he sure it was a clichΓ©, not a trap?
Zhong Tianzheng said: "It's okay to explore, don't act rashly, don't Li Chengyun didn't rescue him, and he fell into a few more." β
Others listened to this, at most Qu Jun frowned, he was not used to calling Cheng Guogong by his name, but when it fell in Yunlu's ears, it was cool, as if a gust of wind was blowing beside him.
No, he told Wen Sheng that he wanted to keep an eye on Zhong Tianzheng. He must not be allowed to be out of sight all night, Yun Lu immediately asked, "Aren't you going with you?" β
Zhong Tianzheng looked at Yunlu and swept his eyes. Passing over Wen Sheng's face, a light smile appeared on his lips: "You want me to go?" OK. β
Qu Jun was stunned and was about to refuse, but Wen Sheng spoke: "Brother Zhong is both civil and military, it's okay to visit the enemy camp at night, you two can rest assured." β
Qu Jun and Dong Tao both showed surprise when they heard this, they were from the martial arts. Along the way, I didn't see that Zhong Tianzheng was armed with martial arts, a martial artist, usually with his gestures, he would naturally bring out the difference from ordinary people. Just like Yun Lu, Zhong Tianzheng obviously deliberately covered it up.
Wen Sheng said again: "Brother Zhong is afraid that he will be regarded as an outlier by his classmates in Xuanyin Pavilion, so he concealed the matter of practicing martial arts, and asked everyone not to spread it." β
Tonight, Zhong Tianzheng promised to go to the enemy camp with Qu Jun and Dong Tao at night. That is, he is not afraid to let the two of them know that he has martial arts.
But for their own good. Wen Sheng still deliberately mentioned a few words.
Qu Jun and Dong Tao glanced at each other, knowing that Zhong Tianzheng practiced martial arts, and the two of them immediately felt that they had shortened the distance between them and him.
Qu Jun hugged his fists and said: "This is natural, Zhong Gongzi is righteous and thin, in order to help us save the country, he will not hesitate to run and take risks, if we leak Zhong Gongzi's secret, it will really be revenge, and pigs and dogs are not as good." β
Zhong Tianzheng smiled. There was no answer.
Wen Sheng looked at Qu Jun, and then at the taciturn Dong Tao. Suddenly: "You don't need to go so many people, just ask Brother Dong to follow the two of them, Qu Jun, you stay, be a companion with Qi Lao, and take care of each other in case something happens." β
Qi Qin began to feel that there was no need for this, but after thinking about it, Wen Sheng couldn't touch the qin now, plus a doctor Mu who had no ability to protect himself, at the moment, Yu Quan's shape was so complicated, in case there was a change, he really couldn't cope with taking care of two people.
But even if Qu Jun is added, it will be useless once the fight starts, and the enemy has thousands of troops waiting there.
This time, everyone was faintly led by Wen Sheng, especially Qu Jun and Dong Tao, who had no objection to her arrangement and immediately did so.
Everyone dispersed to prepare, and Wen Sheng left Zhong Tianzheng alone.
"Ah Zheng, if you meet the leader of the Dongyi people tonight, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Tianzheng smiled faintly: "Let's take a look first, don't alarm him for the time being." β
"Could it be a ghost?"
"Possibly."
"How do you make this happen? Go out and talk to him in person? β
The ghost boy is synonymous with insidious and cunning in the hearts of the world's people, and Wen Sheng didn't believe that Zhong Tianzheng would take such a big risk.
And this transaction is said to be paid with one hand and handed over to the other person, but no matter how it is operated, it is very unfavorable to Wen Sheng and them.
How to ensure that the Dongyi side does not backtrack, and it has become the biggest problem to turn around and copy the guy after receiving the money.
Zhong Tianzheng groaned: "I have already asked Hu Zhi to find a way to contact Jiang Hailong's people, to see if he can reveal his identity, and then say that he will move them to give Yuzhong a guarantee, Jiang Hailong is now an ally with the Dongyi people, this person's credit is okay, Li Chengyun is just a fool, once the deal is reached, which is more important, I think the Dongyi people should think very clearly." β
Jiang Hailong is the largest pirate leader in the East China Sea, with tens of thousands of people gathered under his hands, this time Dongyi borrowed troops from the Lieden Empire to attack Daliang together, and he also sent a lot of pirates to follow behind to burn and loot, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
Wen Sheng sighed, this bandit leader surnamed Jiang is also evil, and the people of Daliang are eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
But if you don't ask Zhong Tianzheng to find him, there is really no better way.
In any case, Zhong Tianzheng can have this arrangement, which shows that all aspects have been taken into account.
"Got in touch?"
Zhong Tianzheng frowned slightly: "Today's shape has changed, and it is not convenient for Hu Zhi and them to go out." That's why I wanted to check it out. β
Wen Sheng saw that it was completely dark outside, heard a slight sound from the courtyard, knew that Yunlu and Dong Tao were ready, and were waiting for Zhong Tianzheng to set off together, got up and sent Zhong Tianzheng to the door, and told him uneasily: "Be careful." β
Zhong Tianzheng smiled back at her and flashed out the door.
After the three left, Wen Sheng guessed that Hu Zhi and they should have been instructed, and the entire courtyard became unusually quiet.
Qi Qin stared at Mu Lao and continued to treat Wen Sheng, if he had something to do, he would not always be up and down in his heart, thinking about Yunlu who went out to listen to the news, only Qu Jun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and ran to the yard from time to time to listen to the movements.
The three of them went for a long time, until after the third watch. I came back together.
Qu Jun was in a hurry, and when he saw them, he greeted them and asked repeatedly, "Why did you come back?" What do you think? What did you find? β
The three of them had a chill on their bodies. Staying in the fog of the night for too long, even my hair became wet.
Yun Lu first drank a sip of water to moisten his throat when he entered the house: "We touched the innermost part of the barracks of the Dongyi garrison all the way, and tonight they put on a feast, as if they were rewarding the three armies." There are many people, and the leader has also seen it, wearing a grimace mask, I don't know if it's a ghost boy. β
Qi Qin interrupted him: "Speak slowly." In the Dongyi Army, he must be the one who will wear that mask, and this thief is really in the spring! β
Yun Lu's eyes were a little dazed: "It's hard to say." There was also a person sitting above him tonight, and he was very respectful to that person, why did even the ghost boy have to obey others? β
Qu Jun interjected: "Then this person's identity must be unusual, no wonder the investigation is so strict today." It turned out that a big man came. What does this man look like? β
Zhong Tianzheng said in a deep voice: "This person is in his twenties. I estimate that it is likely to be Yan Shan's nephew, and Yu Quan will take over the power. Judging from the words and deeds at tonight's banquet, this person is extremely arrogant and domineering, if Li Chengyun falls into his hands, I am afraid that there will be trouble in ransom. β
Qu Jun opened his mouth slightly and said, "How do you know...... How could it be so unlucky? β
Yun Lu comforted everyone: "Don't worry, this is all speculation, the lights are bright near the banquet tonight." We couldn't get closer, and the hiding place was quite far away from them. The shadow is too good to see. The worst thing is that there are so many people at the table, there is a lot of commotion, they are all speaking Dongyi dialect, and I didn't understand half a sentence from beginning to end. β
When Qu Jun heard this, he looked at Dong Tao, who was following last, and Dong Tao's eyes flickered.
Wen Sheng said: "It's not early, let's go back and rest." If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. If you can't sleep, you can recall it carefully, straighten out all the details, write it down, and let's sit together tomorrow to make a good pair. β
Everyone had no objections, and went back to sleep with a heavy heart.
"Ah Zheng!" Wen Sheng called Zhong Tianzheng alone.
Although Zhong Tianzheng covered it up well, Wen Sheng still felt that his love seemed to be a little wrong.
Zhong Tianzheng stopped, and only the two of them were left in the house.
Wen Sheng looked at him carefully: "Brother Yun doesn't understand Dongyi dialect, they actually accompany you, what is the matter?" β
Zhong Tianzheng's expression was solemn: "That's what I just said, the person sitting at the top today is likely to be Yan Shan's son, he just arrived today, and he listened to him keep scolding everyone all night, and it is difficult to talk with this kind of irrational and brainless person, let go of the ransom in advance, give me some time, and wait for me to think of a way." β
Wen Sheng nodded, there was too much information in Zhong Tianzheng's words, she didn't have time to ponder word by word for a while, so she put it aside first and said, "You are very tired?" β
Zhong Tianzheng wiped his face: "A little." β
Wen Sheng said: "Then you go and rest, it's a big matter, let's solve it together tomorrow." β
Zhong Tianzheng nodded and left the room.
Wen Sheng still looked at the door where he disappeared, Zhong Tianzheng is so skilled, it can be said that whether it is Yunlu or Dong Tao, they can't compare with him, those two are fine, how can he feel tired?
What's more, Wen Sheng can see very clearly that he is not tired, but in a bad mood.
The chill on Zhong Tianzheng's body is very heavy, and this chill comes from within, like a strong killing intent on something.
Wen Sheng was completely sleepy, she avoided everyone and quietly went to find Dong Tao.
Dong Tao was pulled away by Qu Jun, and at this time, the two of them were closing the door at the residence, talking about tonight's events in detail.
Wen Sheng came over, and Qu Junden was a little sneering.
Wen Sheng didn't say anything else, only told the two: "Be careful that the wall has ears, and someone has overheard it." The two of you have martial arts, so you can guard against it. β
Qu Jun was originally on guard, and asked Wen Sheng to say, went out for a spin again, and came back and said, "Don't worry, girl, you are all asleep, and there is no one outside." β
Wen Sheng said to him: "I specially asked you to stay tonight, just because I don't want the two of you to get together." β
Qu Jun guessed along with this: "Miss Gu, are you worried that the two of us will talk too much in front of Zhong Gongzi. β
Wen Sheng pondered for a moment: "Zhong Gongzi doesn't know that Dong Tao is good at lip reading and knows Dongyi dialect. β
Dong Tao couldn't hide his surprise and couldn't help but say, "How does the girl know that she understands Dongyi dialect?" β
Last time, it was clear that neither he nor Qu Jun mentioned this, lip reading was originally to spy on the privacy of others, his martial arts are not high, and the fewer people who know, the better, and in addition to lip reading, he is also proficient in Dongyi dialect, and he has also learned Ledden for more than a year, and only his family and Qu Jun know this.
Wen Sheng said: "I guess. We are going to deal with the Dongyi people this time, Qu Jun is going to take you, I guess you must have another killer feature, you don't understand Dongyi dialect, how can lip reading work? Okay, without talking about that, you can tell me everything you saw and heard and read tonight. β
Qu Jun got up: "Miss Gu, I'd better go out and guard, don't ask outsiders to disturb you." β
Wen Sheng nodded.
Dong Tao recalled: "When we left here, we went around the four cities and the government office, and as long as there was a Dongyi garrison, we went to visit. Do you want to elaborate on these as well? He spoke with a very strong accent, which made Wen Sheng's head big.
"No, you just said that in the barracks, was there already a banquet when you touched the barracks?"
"No, but the people are full, the lights are bright, we don't dare to get too close, I and Yun Daxia found a tent facing the banquet to hide, and Zhong Gongzi was with us at first, and then he left quietly alone, and moved forward a while while he was a master, he was bold, probably wanted to hear what those people were saying."
Speaking of this, he opened his mouth slightly and came to his senses: "Does Zhong Gongzi also understand Dongyi dialect?" β
Wen Sheng said: "Of course, otherwise why wouldn't our group have brought an interpreter." β
Dong Tao smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Qu and I guessed that Miss Gu didn't find anyone trustworthy in the army, and I plan to grab one from the vendors after I get here." β
Wen Sheng nodded: "This is also a way." You go on, Zhong Gongzi said that the first person sitting on the table was Yan Shan's son, did you hear what he said in front of everyone? β
Dong Tao replied: "I didn't hear Zhong Gongziquan, I don't know what the identity of that person is, but he has a very big show, and even the person wearing a grimace mask on the side has been accompanying him carefully, and he doesn't dare to choke with him." β
"Tell me more."
"At first, there was no banquet for a while, and about 100 Dongyi people knelt on both sides, and the banquet was very quiet, and if we spoke loudly, we could barely hear it in the place where we were hiding. The first man was well-dressed, wearing a dark robe with pinched gold thread, and the grimace mask sat to his right. Then I saw the first man ask him what he was, and in the middle of the sentence, he turned his head, and I saw the second half of the sentence, and he said, '...... Sneakily doing this, that bastard has no face to see people or what? (To be continued......)
PS: Wrong, first.
