Chapter 167: Female Commander
"The seniors praised it falsely," Yang Muyun said modestly: "Brother Qi didn't use all his strength, and the juniors just won a fluke for a while." ”
"Does your master have any other disciples?" The masked woman asked.
"The juniors don't know," Yang Muyun thought for a moment, "The juniors have been studying art with the master for three years, and I haven't seen him accept other disciples. ”
"Then have you ever seen anyone come to your master?" The masked woman asked again.
"The juniors only spend two hours with the master every day," Yang Muyun glanced at her and said, "The rest of the time, the juniors are studying in Fuxue, and the juniors don't know much about the master's situation. ”
The masked woman stared at him and said slowly, "Don't know very well? How much do you know about your master, and what is his name? ”
Yang Muyun's body shook slightly, and his eyes flickered slightly, "Junior...... The junior asked the master, but the master never told the junior...... "paused," a few months ago, when Jin Yiwei found his residence, the master was no longer there, and the junior has not seen him until now. ”
"Didn't the brocade guard tell you the identity of your master?"
Yang Muyun shook his head silently, his master himself was a mystery to him, and he knew almost nothing about him except for practicing with him.
The masked woman's charming eyes became deep, "It seems that his style has never changed, and he will always be so careful." His gaze turned to Yang Muyun, "It's better for you not to know some things, otherwise you won't know about the murder that will cause you and your family." ”
"He Qixiu, Shen Yun was flickering when he mentioned my master, and even this senior was secretive, what kind of person is my master? What secrets does he have in him? Yang Muyun's curiosity became even stronger, and he stepped forward and bowed down and asked, "The senior and the junior master must be very familiar, can you tell the junior a thing or two about his life experience?" ”
"It's not that you know him well," the masked woman's eyes rolled, "It's just that I met him a few times ago and fought a few times a few times, but I didn't tell the winner, and now I want to talk to him again, but it's a pity that I have a fate." He sighed softly.
"My senior and my master met twenty years ago?" Yang Muyun said with some surprise: "So you and my master should be in the same generation, but my master looks much older." ”
"Oh?" The masked woman looked at him with interest and said, "Then how old do you think your master is?" ”
"Probably in his sixties, because his hair and beard are all white." Yang Muyun thought for a while and said.
"His hair and beard are all white," said the masked woman, "is he still toiling for unrealistic fantasies?" ”
"Although the seniors are masked," Yang Muyun glanced at her, lowered his head and said: "But the skin is as bright as snow, the fiber is medium, and the fit is shortened." If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as plain. Glamorous and beautiful, peerless......"
Before she finished speaking, the masked woman smiled coquettishly, "Sure enough, if you are a scholar, you can make a chapter when you exit it." Do you want to learn from Cao Sangongzi at a young age? ”
"She actually knows the source of these words," Yang Muyun was surprised in his heart, and said with a restrained mind: "The younger generation is wild, I don't know what to say, how can the demeanor of the predecessor be comparable to Luoshen?" ”
The masked woman looked at her, and the masked tulle trembled, "You have a good tongue, even Zhang Yi and Su Qin's generation can't compare to you," the thin willow eyebrows raised slightly, "Do you want to know my age?" ”
"Seniors are twenty, why do you need to ask again!" Yang Muyun lowered his eyebrows and said.
The masked woman stared at him, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Flim tongue, even I dare to be thin." ”
Yang Muyun stood motionless, his eyes looking straight ahead.
The masked woman stared at him for a long time, and Fang exhaled lightly, "No wonder there are so many girls who like you, I'm afraid you can even melt ice with your mouth." ”
"The seniors have won awards, and the juniors are just telling the truth." Yang Muyun calmed down, but he didn't dare to look at her gaze.
"Okay, haven't you said enough?" The masked woman's charming eyes seemed to be covered with a faint mist, "No one has ever said anything to me like this, not even ......him" chuckled, but her eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy, "Fanghua twenty?" You're pretty good at talking......"
"Senpai ......" looked at her
His expression changed slightly, and Yang Muyun couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.
"I know you're coaxing people, but I'm still very happy," the masked woman's eyes flashed with a strange look, and she sighed leisurely, "After the age of twenty, I don't want to mention my age anymore...... If you can keep this feeling in the prime of life, you can take it as a comfort! He glanced at Yang Muyun, "If you really think I'm twenty years old, how can you call me a senior?" ”
Renshoufang Qiantang Hutong, Wang Zhen's mansion.
"You said that Shen Junping of the Datong Grain Store in Jintaifang, Gulou, is buying the rice of everyone in the inner court at the price of one tael of silver and one stone of rice?" Wang Zhen stared at Ma Shun and asked.
"Yes, Gong Weng." Ma Shun replied.
Wang Zhen took a breath and looked at the roof, "How can a small merchant who sells grain have such a big hand? The tens of thousands of people in the inner court are not a small amount! How much cash would he have on hand? As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Shun.
"According to the informant," Ma Shun said, "Shen Junping's money for the purchase of rice was taken from Wanyuan Money Village in Jiaozhongfang's Scissors Lane. ”
"Oh?" Wang Zhen's forehead frowned, "It is a miracle that someone makes a loss-making business, and there are people who provide silver money to support him to make a loss-making business, which is even more incredible." Xiang Ma Shun asked, "Have you checked their background?" ”
"Gong Weng," Ma Shun lowered his head and said, "It is being investigated, I believe there will be news soon," Seeing that Wang Zhen's face was displeased, he hurriedly said: "Gong Weng, could this be secretly assigned by the emperor to do it?" ”
"Impossible!" Wang Zhen said categorically: "What time is it now, the big war in the southwest to conquer Luchuan is about to break out, and the soldiers and horses, grain and grass, and ordnance are frequently mobilized, and this silver is spent like flowing water, and the household department has long been tight, or the emperor will not agree to Liu Zhongshiki's bad idea of changing warehouses and hair." Secretly appointing people to do good deeds? You can figure it out! ”
"But who in this capital has such a big hand?" Ma Shun was reprimanded by him, and said cautiously: "No one will interfere in this matter, how can a businessman do such a loss-making thing after profit?" ”
"Are you asking our family?" Wang Zhen's eyes widened like bull's eyes, and he roared: "Detective and detective is your Jinyiwei's forte, why are you led by the nose and unconscious?" How did you become a commander? ”
"Master" The old housekeeper in the mansion hurriedly walked in and bowed to Wang Zhen and handed over a piece of letterhead, "There are people outside the mansion who want to see the master." ”
"No," Wang Zhen didn't answer the letterhead, and said angrily. In the palace, because of the leakage of the Jingcang incident, he was trained by the emperor, and he couldn't hold it on his face, but when he returned to the house, he heard about such an inexplicable thing, and Ma Shun couldn't say why, he was angry and had nowhere to attack, so he refused even if he refused.
The old steward stood there quietly, watching him vent his dissatisfaction, without speaking or retreating.
"What else is going on with you?" Wang Zhen glared at him and asked with a heavy breath coming out of his nose.
"Someone said he wanted to buy the old man's rice." The old steward said lightly.
"Rice?" Wang Zhen suddenly turned around, walked a few steps to the old butler, and grabbed the letterhead in his hand. He took out the letter inside, unfolded it, looked up, and asked the old steward, "Where is the person?" ”
"I'm waiting outside the house." The old steward replied.
"Invite her in!" Wang Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and said.
In the inner courtyard of the nameless mansion, the masked woman chatted with Yang Muyun for a while, and gradually turned to the topic.
"Yang Gongzi is serving in the Ministry of War, and he should know that the border trouble of my Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more serious." The masked woman said.
"What my predecessors said is good, there is a rebellion of the Yi people in the southwest of my Ming Dynasty, and there are also rebels from time to time to incite the people to rebel and rebel, and there are even Mongolian Tatars in the north who are eyeing my Ming Dynasty......" Yang Muyun nodded and agreed.
"Then which side does Yang Gongzi think is my Daming's henchman?" The masked woman asked, staring into his eyes.
"The southwest is a wild land, even if the Yi people rebel, they can't threaten the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will send troops to suppress it; As for the internal rebellion against the party, I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, live and work in peace and contentment, who is willing to carry their heads to do the things of the dead, they can't afford to set off a big storm......" Yang Muyun said eloquently, seeing that the masked woman listened carefully, he said in an accent
Qi said: "As for the Mongolian Tartars, their Great Khan is the remnant of the Northern Yuan, and he never forgets to restore the Great Yuan, and he said that he will take the Beijing Division as the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Great Wall Fengsui is only two hundred miles away from my Beijing Division. ”
"Yang Gongzi is right," the masked woman's eyes showed approval, "How can such a confidant be calmed down?" ”
"Completely pacifying the Tartars outside the pass is probably not an overnight thing," Yang Mu said: "Emperor Taizu swept the plough court eight times, and the five expeditions to Mobei during the Yongle period, but the results did not completely exterminate the Mongolian people, and now they have revived, and they are even stronger, with the current military strength of my Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that I will not be able to win the battle." ”
"So what do we do now? Waiting for them to come to the door and not doing anything? The masked woman looked at him and said.
"Now what I have to do is to send people deep into the grassland, collect their intelligence, pay close attention to their every move, and once I find anything unusual, I will immediately make corresponding deployments to prevent them from knocking."
"What does Yang Gongzi mean by using a room?" The masked woman said leisurely.
"Exactly, what the juniors said is very shallow, and I ask the seniors to advise." Yang Muyun bowed.
"I can't talk about advice," the masked woman's eyes rolled, "You have summarized it very well, my Ming Dynasty has sent countless spies in various tribes of Mongolia, including their Great Khan Tokhan and Taishi Huai Wang Yexian's tribes......" Seeing that he listened very seriously, he slowed down his tone and said: "In Mongolia, it is not their Great Khan who really holds the power, but also ...... first"
"This junior has also heard of it." Yang Muyun said.
The masked woman nodded: "I also have a daughter first, named Zizik. Samuer, very favored by him, he leaves many things to this daughter to take care of, she also has a Han name, called Yuan Qi'er......"
"Since she has taken a Chinese name, she should often come to our Daming realm." Yang Muyun groaned.
"Yang Gongzi's heart is as careful as a hair, and it is expected to be good," the masked woman glanced at him appreciatively, "Our Daming sent a lot of spies to go deep into the grassland, and they naturally sent a lot of spies to my Daming." In charge of these deceitful conspirators is this Zizik. Samur, also known as Yuan Qier......"
Yang Muyun listened attentively and did not interject.
"Young Master Yang," the masked woman said, "Have you ever heard of the name Xuanniaowei?" ”
"Lord Shen and Ning Gongzi of the Jinyi Wei South Division have both mentioned the Xuanniao Wei to their juniors," Yang Muyun thought for a moment, "They said that the Xuanniao Wei is an organization under the Jinyi Wei North Division. ”
"It seems that they don't know the joints very well," the masked woman smiled slightly, "Xuanniaowei is a secret spy organization, and it is not subordinate to anyone except the emperor, and some of the Xuanniaowei serve in the Dongchang and Jinyi Guards, and they do not openly reveal the identity of Xuanniaowei, in other words, we Xuanniaowei can only operate in private, and it is not public." ”
"Senior ......" Yang Muyun's face changed, "Senior, isn't it the leader of the Xuanniao Guard?" ”
The corners of the masked woman's eyes curled slightly, and the veil trembled a little, "Although the Xuanniao Guard is not public, it is also of good rank, and I am the commander of the Xuanniao Guard." ”
"Commander? That's a martial arts job of the third grade. Yang Muyun's face tightened, and he bowed to her again, "The lower official sees the commander." ”
"In the dark room, don't be polite." The masked woman stretched out her arms and gestured, and then said, "I have a female disciple under my command who has successfully penetrated Yuan Qi'er's side and learned that she is planning a shocking conspiracy......" Glancing at Yang Muyun, "And this conspiracy is related to your military department." ”
"Something to do with the military department?" Yang Muyun's heart shook slightly, and asked, "Since Yuan Qi'er planned this conspiracy, has she come to my Daming?" ”
"Not only has she come to my Daming, but she is also in Jingshi," the masked woman glanced at him meaningfully, "You also saw her not long ago. ”
"Have I seen her?" Yang Muyun was confused, "Xia Guan first came to the capital, and the places he went were limited, how could he see her?" ”
"Young Master Yang is so forgetful," the masked woman showed a hint of ridicule in her eyes, and said leisurely: "Have you forgotten what happened in Fengming Courtyard last night?" ”
