Everyone was stunned from the sidelines, and no one thought that the trunk of this lush Bodhi tree was empty.

"Come over a few people," Zheng Yu beckoned to them, "Light up this place." ”

"Yes!" Zheng Yong immediately held high the torch and led several people forward.

Under the light of the fire, a dark hole at the base of the tree led to the ground, and it seemed that the steps were faintly exposed.

"Go down and have a look." Zheng Yu commanded.

A man answered and took the lead in pulling out the steel knife at his waist. Holding a torch in one hand and a steel knife in the other, he drilled down the hollow of the tree. The others were about to follow when they heard the man scream miserably, and the torch and steel knife in his hand fell into the hole, and his hands grabbed him in the face.

Yang Muyun saw clearly, a fluffy and thin figure pounced on the man's face and scratched it, and the man was frightened and in severe pain, he threw down the torch and steel knife in his hand to grab the living thing. Without waiting for the other's hand to touch it, the creature flew and pounced on the other man with a sword and a fire. The man before covered his face and rolled on the ground, the sound of the miserable howl was palpitating, and the blood continued to seep out of his fingers.

The other man did not dodge, but was also pounced on in the face by the living creature, and he also threw down the steel knife and torch in his hand, and screamed miserably.

"Brush-" The cold light flashed, and a sharp sword slashed at the living creature, which was not slow to react, and rose up, scurrying towards the tall Bodhi tree and disappearing between the branches and leaves in the blink of an eye.

"It's that monkey......" Yang Muyun said with his gaze on the canopy of the tree.

"Don't worry about that brute," Zheng Yu sheathed his sword, his eyes staring at the dark, seemingly bottomless tunnel under the tree hole, "the head of the assassin must be inside...... They will definitely not be caught with their hands tied, the situation inside is unknown, and if they venture in, they will definitely hurt more people," looked at Yang Muyun, "When you were in the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, how did you capture the assassins hiding in the secret passage underground?" ”

"Ignite the firewood, throw it into the tunnel, and blow a lot of smoke into the tunnel," Mr. Yang said

Said: "In this way, when the people inside are fainted by the smoke, it will be much easier to go down and take people." ”

Zheng Yu said Yang Muyun's words to Zheng Yong and the others again in Annan dialect, and said, "You all know what to do? ”

"My subordinates understand!" Zheng Yong bowed in response, turned to the onlookers and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, go find firewood and hay, the more the better, ...... quickly."

......

Bunches of dried thatch were lit and thrown down the hollows of the trees into the tunnels, and some people were still fanning them outside with large plantain leaves, and the spilled smoke was turned into the tunnels. In this way, about two hours later, Zheng Yu asked people to put on a cloth towel moistened with water and go down to get people.

After a while, Zheng Yong and the others dragged out five people from inside, all of whom were fainted by the smoke, one of them was the young man Yang Muyun met at the gate of Huazhou, the younger brother of the king of Zhancheng, Maha Guilai.

"Miss," Zheng Yong said to Zheng Yuyu, "there are still some shovels and hammers inside, and it seems that they have been digging tunnels inside and out of the city." ”

"Where did you dig up?" Zheng Yu asked.

"My subordinates can faintly hear the sound of running water, and they should be digging the moat soon." Zheng Yong said.

"It's so dangerous," Zheng Yu turned his gaze to Yang Muyun, "If it weren't for you, these assassins might have escaped, but you have made a great contribution!" ”

————————————

Zheng Ke's gloomy face in the past two days finally had a hint of joy, the assassin who assassinated himself could still escape after the move, no matter what, his face was a little unbearable, so he refused to go to the feast set up for him by Pan Zhizhou, and now that the assassins were all caught, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and in addition to being happy, he specially invited Yang Muyun to the family banquet.

This is in a flower hall in Zhizhou Yamen, there are not many people, only Zheng Ke, Zheng Yu, Zheng Zhao and Yang Muyun.

Yang Muyun understood that Zheng might sit at the same table with him, and it was clear that he had been released from all suspicions.

On the wine table, the glass was pushed and changed, except for Zheng Zhao, the other three people smiled and smiled.

"Yang Gongzi's knowledge and methods are unusual," Zheng Ke raised his glass and praised: "It is worthy of the elite who came out of the Daming Jinyi Guard Yamen!" ”

"Marquis Zheng has won the award," Yang Muyun hurriedly picked up his wine glass, "I dare not be ashamed." ”

"This is a family banquet, Yang Gongzi doesn't have to be polite," Zheng Yu said with a smile, "If you hadn't detected the clues, maybe the assassin would have escaped from Huazhou City by now." ”

Zheng Zhao snorted, his face quite displeased.

Zheng Ke just didn't see it, the wine glass in his hand touched the rim of Yang Muyun's cup, and drank it all, "It's over here, I don't know what Yang Gongzi's plans are?" ”

"This is going to ask Miss," Yang Muyun glanced at Zheng Yu and said, "I have to make an appointment with Miss and be a slave by her side for a year, you can't be untrustworthy, right?" ”

"The little girl doesn't know the etiquette, which makes Yang Gongzi laugh," Zheng Ke said with a smile: "The one-year appointment is just a little girl's joke, and it can't be true." ”

"Daddy......" Zheng Yu was a little distracted, and he stopped talking.

"What, do you really want to stay as the official of the Celestial Empire?" Zheng Ke's eyes were full of blame, "Don't forget that Yang Gongzi is still the official with a sword in front of the Emperor Ming, you keep him in private, do you want the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to send an edict to the king to ask for someone?" ”

"Marquis Zheng," Yang Muyun smiled and said, "I am no longer on duty in front of the emperor, and I am now at home." He didn't want to talk about being an ambassador at the Ministry of Rites.

"Oh?" Zheng Ke's face became a little surprised, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this?" Old? ”

"Maybe it's because I'm stupid and can't serve the royal driver anymore, right?" Yang Muyun said lightly.

Zheng could see that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask anymore.

"So it wouldn't hurt you to stay here a little longer?" Zheng Yu said happily.

Yang Muyun smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Zheng Zhao slammed the wine glass on the table and said to Yang Muyun: "What are your plans to come to my Dayue?" ”
