191. 190: Rumors of war
There have been rumors in the streets and alleys of the capital recently, saying that due to the disappearance of the emperor of Cangxing and the fire in the palace, the whereabouts of the princess of Qinglan Kingdom are unknown, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the emperor of Qinglan Kingdom, and the war between the two countries is about to break out!
Yang Fang was furious, slapped his palm on the table, and shouted: "Find out who made the rumor!" If you hear anyone spreading rumors again, let him stay in his cell! ”
The guards in the lower row trembled in fright: "Yes! ”
"What can I do about this, if the Qinglan Kingdom really uses this to start a war, then it will really be a big mess in the world." Zhang Youhan said worriedly, he is not worried about the people, but he is not enough as an official, he is really reluctant to let go like this, if he is treasonous, and Yang Fang is here, now almost all the heavy military power is in Yang Fang's hands, Zhang Youhan does not dare to make a mistake, this Yang Fang is not ordinary loyalty to Nangong Ze.
"What, Zhang Shangshu is also ready to join the ranks of rumors?" Yang Fang's eyes swept over Zhang Youhan, and Zhang Youhan shook his head again and again: "How come, I'm just worried, that prince of Qinglan Kingdom seems to be still in Cangxing Country, and I don't know what the situation is on their side, and I haven't come to discuss it, it's good to help find the emperor, after all, it's an ally." ”
"Hmph," Yang Fang sneered, allies? To put it bluntly, it is a relationship of interests, and now that Cangxing Country is so chaotic, they are not profitable, how can they help? If you don't take advantage of this to come over and make trouble, thank God, but the prince of Qinglan Country that Zhang Youhan said has been in Cangxing Country, which is really a bit strange, the palace fire has been in the country for so long, if he wants a result, he should come to ask for it when the emperor is still there, and the emperor has disappeared for a while, and there has been turmoil among the people, this prince must have heard of it, why is there no movement, just stay in Cangxing country?
"General, have you ever thought that the emperor's disappearance has something to do with the prince?" Zhang Youhan said suddenly.
Yang Fang was taken aback, isn't the prince already alive and dead in that fire? He asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?" ”
"General, I have someone here, do you want to meet it, maybe it really matters? We don't have a clue right now anyway. ”
"Who?"
"The secret guard beside the prince, Leng Yi."
If it weren't for the sudden thought that the time of Nangong Jue and Nangong Ze's disappearance was very close, Zhang Youhan almost forgot Leng Yi, at that time, Nangong Jue's life and death were unknown, the emperor secretly ordered him to inquire about the news, and he met Leng Yi with strange whereabouts on the street soon after, this Leng Yi is Nangong Jue's secret guard, if Nangong Jue died, he should not appear here, Zhang Youhan laid a trap to imprison Leng Yi in the dungeon, trying to force him to say whether Nangong Jue is dead or alive, where is the person alive, where is the person if he is alive, and where is the body buried if he is dead, It won't turn into ashes if it burns, right? As a result, he didn't speak, and at that time, the emperor disappeared.
Cold wings? Yang Fang doesn't have much impression of this person, he guards the border all the year round, and he really doesn't know about the people around the prince, but since Zhang Youhan put forward this idea, it is better to ask, anyway, there are no clues now, and the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor.
Zhang Youhan took Yang Fang all the way to the dungeon, and Yang Fang said meaningfully: "Zhang Shangshu's mansion is really magnificent. "I don't know how much money I was greedy for.
"Huh." How could such a shrewd person as Zhang Youhan not hear the extraneous voice? It's just that it's useless to say anything at this time, and there's no need to be serious, so I laughed it off.
The dungeon was set up under a garden in the house, and after going around and around finally reached the door of the dungeon, Zhang Youhan said to the guards guarding the door of the dungeon: "Open the prison door." ”
"Yes!" The guard nodded respectfully, opened the prison door, and a musty smell suddenly gushed out, Zhang Youhan hurriedly waved his sleeve, he hadn't been here for a few days, this time he was looking for the emperor, every day a maid would send some food to Leng Yi, just don't die, and Yang Fang did not reject this musty smell, he had been marching and fighting for many years, what dirty mess had not been encountered, what bad environment had not been experienced, this musty smell was simply trivial.
Walking into the damp and dark dungeon, surrounded by walls, not even a window, it was really tight enough, a man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes was locked in a corner, and when he heard the sound, he glanced up, and the contempt and disgust in his eyes when he saw Zhang Youhan did not hide it at all.
"He's Leng Wing?" Yang Fang admired the embarrassed man in front of him but his eyes were still sharp, he was arrogant, he had been locked up for a long time, and he could still show such a disdainful look to Zhang Youhan, he didn't give in, and he was quite backbone.
Zhang Youhan covered his nose and replied, "Yes, the secret guard next to the prince." ”
Yang Fang approached Leng Yi and asked, "How long have you been locked up here?" ”
"Hmph." Leng Yi glanced at Yang Fang coldly, snorted coldly and did not answer, the person who can walk with Zhang Youhan is by no means a good official.
"How dare you talk to the general like that?" Zhang Youhan was a little annoyed when he saw Leng Yi's attitude so cold, this Yang Fang is now the biggest pillar of the country, when the country is in turmoil, only the military power in hand can be regarded as strength, like him, a court official who only has an official position and no power, many times it is just a decoration.
Leng Yi finally spoke: "General? Which great general? ”
"General Yang Daxing, do you know?" Zhang Youhan asked.
"Oh, isn't this the general who guards the border? Why did you go back to Beijing and be embarrassed by this group of people? Leng Yi's words were really ridiculous, and he didn't take Yang in his eyes at all.
Yang Fang was not angry, he smiled and said: "Now General Ben has no time to mess up with anyone, the capital is in chaos, don't you know that the prince and the emperor have disappeared?" ”
When Leng Yi heard this, his expression was shocked, and the prince and the emperor disappeared? He remembered that after sending the prince to the ghost house, he came out to inquire about the matter of Tang Li's girl, but he was caught by Zhang Youhan, the one, and stayed in this dark dungeon, he thought that with the ghost doctor, the prince would definitely get better, how could there be a sudden disappearance now?
Yang Fang carefully observed Leng Yi's reaction, and sure enough, as expected, Leng Yi definitely knew something, he continued: "Now that the country is in chaos, the dragons are leaderless, and the surrounding countries are ready to move, we must find the emperor or the prince as soon as possible." ”
"I don't know where the prince is, the palace was on fire that day, I escaped, I originally wanted to inquire on the street, but I was inexplicably arrested by Zhang Shangshu, if you are to ask the whereabouts of the prince, then there is really nothing to say, as for the emperor, I don't know." Leng Yi quickly stabilized his mind and said coldly, this Yang Fang is Nangong Ze's henchman, everyone in the world knows that he will always remember that when he sent the prince to the ghost house, the prince only said one sentence before he was completely unconscious: "All this is Nangong Ze's plan." ”
If he told them about the prince and Miss Tang Li, and exposed the matter of the ghost house, this Yang Fang would definitely not let the prince and them go, and Leng Yi would rather the prince disappear like this than come back to sit on the so-called throne, because then he would have to risk being assassinated at any time.
Zhang Youhan was not as patient and calm as Yang Fang, and when he saw Leng Yi say this, he kicked him and scolded: "When he is dying, he is still so hard-mouthed, saying, the emperor's disappearance has nothing to do with the prince, the prince is not dead at all, right!" ”
"Hehe, guess!" Leng Yi was kicked and vomited a mouthful of blood, but he still sneered. Of course, the emperor's disappearance has something to do with the prince, and when the prince told him that it was Nangong Ze's plan, he knew that Nangong Ze would never give up, and now that he is missing, can he get out of the relationship?
"I guess fuck you!" Zhang Youhan scolded and kicked again, and then was stopped by Yang Fang.
Yang Fang knew that this Leng Yi must know the inside story, if he kicked him to death like this, that clue would be broken, he said: "Since you don't want to say it now, then think about it here, Zhang Shangshu, let's go." ”
"General, this-" Zhang Youhan was still unwilling, Yang Fang glared at him fiercely, and Zhang Youhan had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, and walked out of the dungeon with Yang Fang.
"General, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to let him tell the truth." Zhang Youhan and Yang Fang walked slowly in the mansion and said.
What Yang Fang was most worried about at this time was not Leng Yi's matter, but Qinglanguo's matter, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong: "Instead of spending time on Leng Yi, Zhang Shangshu should inquire about Qinglanguo's actions, as well as that prince, where is he at this time, and what is going on." ”
Zhang Youhan also felt that Qing Languo's reaction was a little unusual, and nodded in response: "Well, I will send someone to inquire about it." ”
After Yang Fang left Shangshu Mansion, he rode back to the General's Mansion, and after a small guy saw Yang Fang galloping past on the street, he quickly trotted back to Zuo Xiang's Mansion and reported to Nie Zongming: "Lord Nie Xiang, the little one just saw General Yang Fang coming out of Shangshu Mansion on the street just now." ”
Nie Zongming has sent some people to circle around the Shangshu Mansion and the General's Mansion in the past few days, according to the reported news, during this time, Zhang Youhan and Yang Fang's contacts have become more and more frequent, presumably private actions are also speeding up, these two people are Nangong Ze's henchmen, Nie Zongming has to be guarded, he is still holding the hope that Nangong Ze can return to Beijing, and ascend the throne when Nangong Ze does not appear, but look at the other allies, all of them are old ministers, and the real power in their hands is weak, because they have already been exploited by Nangong Ze, and now they are all in a hurry.
Just when Nie Zongming was worried, another small guy hurriedly came to report, saying that there was a riot at the city gate, and there was a fight between the people who wanted to flee and the guards guarding the city, because the general's mansion ordered that from today on, the capital can only enter, not exit! And sent more men and horses to guard the city gate, and now many people are beginning to be angry, if this continues, before other countries take advantage of the chaos to invade, the country will already be in the nest!
Nie Zongming sighed and sent the little guy back, this world was guarded by them and the emperor back then, this group of old ministers worked hard for Cangxingguo, but now they have to watch Cangxingguo fall step by step, this taste really makes him uncomfortable.
