Chapter 53: Murder with a knife

After they told the news, the second prince glanced at Yu Dingtian, his eyes full of suspicion.

Yu Dingtian didn't expect that there was such a secret passage in the ancestral hall, and he didn't say anything, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything now.

At this time, Lu Bo smiled and said in the ear of the second prince: "The outside has been blocked by us, even if they have wings, they will not be able to escape, Xiao Chen suggested, search this island, this group of traitors must still be on the island." There is also the need to go and tell the people who are locked down outside not to let anyone go. ”

The second prince nodded, let Lu Bo deal with this matter, and he did not return to the front hall, but went to the backyard with Yu Dingtian and went to rest.

However, the second prince did not rest for long, and received the news that Lu Bo had returned, and a ship had left here.

The second prince was furious and scolded Lu Bo and said, "What are you doing, how do they know the code." ”

Lu Bo looked around and said cautiously, "The junior minister suspects that the county lord Jiangli told them. ”

When the second prince heard this, he sneered and said, "How did the county lord of Jiangli know about this code, I see that you are getting more and more confused, this code was only decided by us this morning." Does the county lord of Jiangli have a thousand miles of ears, or is it a clever calculation, and we will use this code. ”

Lu Bo was in a cold sweat like rain, he said in a confused voice, and asked the second prince what to do next.

The second prince thought about it for a while and told Lu Bo to ask Lu Bo to invite the people of Yu Dingtian, as well as the four princes and the county lord of Jiangli.

Lu Bo said a promise, and after going down to invite everyone over, Yu Dingtian looked at the four princes and said in surprise: "I don't know who this is?" ”

"He is my fourth brother, and he is also the prince of Li who is personally named by the saint, the fourth brother, the king of the East China Sea is not an outsider, so there is no need to hide his identity like him." After the second prince finished speaking, the fourth prince bowed his hand slightly and said, "King of the East China Sea, there were many people just now, and I didn't dare to salute, please forgive me." ”

"Prince Li is serious, I don't know what Prince Li is talking about when he comes to the East China Sea this time?"

The second prince interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and said to Yu Dingtian: "The fourth brother is to investigate the assassination case, this matter is not mentioned for the time being, now that the group of thieves has left, what do you think should be done about this matter, whether to ask the world and arrest them." ”

When Yu Dingtian heard this, he looked at the second prince with some embarrassment, and when he was about to say something, the fourth prince said: "Da Suo, now that this matter has failed, you can't make mistakes again and again." ”

The second prince looked at the fourth prince suspiciously, and the fourth prince stood up and explained: "Second brother, today's events are only known to the people on the island, if you let the saint ask for the world, won't it make everyone in the world know, and when the time comes, not only will your face be dull, but even the saint will not be disgraced." Now the ministers of the DPRK and China just know that you are here to canonize, and now that the canonization has been completed, why bother to add more snakes? ”

The second prince pondered for a while, and felt that this was a good point, if this kind of thing made a big fuss, the world would talk about it, and he would only say that he was incompetent and let the cooked ducks fly, but he gave up like this, but he was unwilling in his heart: "Fourth brother, according to your meaning, is this matter just like that?" ”

"Naturally not, since this matter is a matter of the rivers and lakes, naturally the rivers and lakes are broken, and the guests here are all from the rivers and lakes, as long as the second brother you cast the bait of fame and fortune, why worry that there are no fish to take the bait. Let them take action, and others will know that it is only because of the vendetta of the rivers and lakes. ”

When the second prince heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, your plan to kill people with a knife is not bad, did you hear Lu Bo?" If you can't do this well, the clan should play the saint and take off the black veil from your head. ”

Lu Bo said yes, left here, and went to talk to those people in the rivers and lakes.

After Lu Bo left, the second prince looked at the fourth prince and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, don't hide it, this clan has a blockade outside, and there is a secret code, and this group of thieves actually knew the code and left, which made this clan very suspicious. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he was shocked, and said with a pretended calm face: "I don't know which code the second brother has set up?" ”

"Waiting for Emperor Yu, in this hurry, I didn't expect it to be good. Ben Fan suspects that there must be a mole in this, do you think this Lubo is reliable? A few years ago, he prided himself on being a remnant of the Wei Dynasty, but he was deliberately an official and came to be meticulous. ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the second prince: "This code has been used for more than fifty years, and it is not surprising that the sword master and others know about it. As for the man Lubo, it is not reusable. ”

The second prince nodded, and when he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door outside, and the second prince said come in, and a guard walked in, respectfully handed over a box and said, "The sage has a secret edict, please open it in person." ”

The second prince opened the box, checked the fire seal, then opened the box, took out the yellow silk paper inside, glanced at the contents on it, and then burned the secret edict, and said to the four princes: "This time, the courtiers who came with me will stay in Hailan City for the time being, waiting for the arrival of the holy decree, and this domain will go back first." ”

The fourth prince didn't dare to ask more, and persuaded the second prince to rest early, and he would be tired again tomorrow.

The second prince nodded and asked them to get out of here. After the four princes walked out of the door and said goodbye to the county lord of Jiangli, the four princes and Yu Dingtian walked in the back garden, Yu Dingtian looked at the four princes, hesitated, and then asked: "Prince Li, I don't know if you have found out anything." ”

"Chuandeng, Li Feng, the Bai brothers, Lu Ziwei, and Cao Ren, are these six people the ones who assassinated the saint that day." The fourth prince did not hurry to say his name, but Yu Dingtian was taken aback, and said respectfully: "Prince Li, since you know that it is these six people, why don't you arrest them?" ”

The fourth prince looked at the bright moon in the sky, sneered and said: "What's the use of arresting these six people, it seems that today it is Wei who rebels so much, what this domain wants now is not to arrest these six people, but to eradicate all the rebels in the entire rivers and lakes, so that it can be done once and for all." ”

Hearing the words of the fourth prince, Yu Dingtian's heart was cold, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he couldn't help but say it.

The fourth prince said to Yu Dingtian: "Of course, this matter still needs the help of the King of the East China Sea. ”

"I wonder how Lone can help Prince Li?"

"At that time, we will need to use Ye Hancheng and Li Haiyu, their martial arts are good, and when the time comes, it will be a lot easier for this clan to deal with this group of people."

Yu Dingtian said that he would help him when the time came, and he didn't want to talk more with the four princes, so he left here.

The fourth prince looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky and flashed a wry smile.

The night passed unconsciously, and at dawn, the sword master and others also arrived on the shore, looking at the vast East China Sea, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Walking on the road, Wei Sisi couldn't help but sigh and said: "If it weren't for Lord Jiangli telling us this poem, we really wouldn't be able to leave here, but this incision doesn't seem to have a good meaning." ”

The sword master thought for a while and told Wei Sisi: "I know a thing or two about the origin of this incision, this is used when Changle Hou did not have the title of founding a country, at that time Changle Hou was nicknamed the Arctic King, and he made trouble in the southeast, but unfortunately no one in the court knew that the Arctic King was Changle Hou at that time, otherwise Changle Hou would not have been made bigger." It's not a poem, it's just a prophecy. The north water here should refer to Huluo, and Emperor Yu is not Emperor Yu now, but Emperor Yu of Tang Yu, as for the latter sentence, Emperor Cheng was still reigning at that time, and the year name was Daqian. ”

The sword master explained this, Wei Sisi had already understood, the meaning of this proverb was that there would be a Ming monarch from the south to replace the Wei Dynasty during the Great Qian. This kind of proverb is very suitable for making incisions, and it secretly strengthens the confidence of the soldiers, and the enemy will not think of it.

They were talking, and soon they saw a teahouse next to the official road not far away, and they walked in, asked for a basket of steamed buns, and sat there to eat.

While eating, Wei Sisi saw a couplet written on the teahouse, and couldn't help but glance at it curiously.

"The four are empty, sit for a moment and have no distinction between you and me; The two ends are the road, eat a lamp of their own things"

Wei Sisi couldn't help but smile and said: "This couplet is interesting, just right for our group of people, I don't know what the old-timers have planned." ”

The sword master didn't answer, Ye Tianfeng also looked outside, Wei Sisi turned his head to look, and saw a horse running quickly towards this side, and everyone saw a flag tied to the back of the horse, with the word urgent written on it.

Ye Tianfeng said to them, "You guys do it for a while, I'll go and make it easier." "Get out of here and catch up with a horse.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Tianfeng came back, everyone gathered around, Ye Tianfeng took out a yellow cloth from his sleeve and hugged the package, and after opening it, he revealed the brocade box inside, and the brocade box was carved with a word B.

Yu Dynasty's urgent recital, generally there will be four copies of the performance or transmission, so as not to miss mistakes, they see that it is box B, thinking that box A has passed, can not be intercepted.

Opening it and taking out the silk paper inside, Ye Tianfeng looked at it, and his face suddenly changed.

The swordsman took the silk paper and looked at it, but his face was also gloomy, so that everyone finished reading it one by one and fell into Wei Sisi's hands, and Wei Sisi saw what was written on it.

She was also quite surprised, this was to let several ministers go to Feiyun Mountain to witness the establishment of the Feiyun Gate, and at the same time announced that Miao Yunzi, the head of Feiyun Gate, was the martial arts chief of the four provinces of the East China Sea, and all the affairs of the rivers and lakes of the four provinces were handed over to Miao Yunzi for adjudication.

"What is the difference between this and canonizing Yu Dingtian, Yu Ting's strategy, but I want to borrow the knife of the rivers and lakes to kill the people in the rivers and lakes, I don't know where this Miao Yunzi comes from, and he was canonized by Yu Ting." Liu Xiying has been staying in the Xuanwu Kingdom and knows very little about the things in the martial arts.

The sword master sighed and said, "Miaoyunzi Liu Shilang may not know, but his master, Liu Shilang must know that it is Wen Biyun of the Qiyun faction." ”
