Chapter 12: The Theft of Military Banks 5
General's Palace.
General Yan was unsettled at this time, and he had always been very proud, but today he became unconfident. It stands to reason that the guards he sent out should be back now, but so far he has not received any news.
The sky is bright, it stands to reason that it is already dawn now, but the weather does not seem to be very good on this day, and the gray patch makes people even more worried.
The hall of the General's Mansion was unusually quiet.
Isn't this a bad omen?
In the conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, it can be seen that the prince does not know the whereabouts of Jun Yin, otherwise, with the character of the prince, he would not talk so much nonsense with his Hualin Garden, the reason is very simple, that is, the prince wants to find out the whereabouts of Jun Yin from him, but how can he, who has always been scheming, easily reveal the whereabouts of Jun Yin, after all, the prince is still young and not his opponent. Thinking of this, General Yan's heart settled down a little.
However, for some reason, tonight, General Yan recalled the conversation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Hualin Garden dozens of times, but he still couldn't think of anything wrong......
Qin Yu, a prince who everyone in the court thinks only knows how to have fun, a conversation last night really surprised General Yan......
At this time, a cold wind blew outside the main hall!
The candle flame flickered......
From the outside of the hall, it can be clearly seen that a man in a black robe walked in, only to see him covering the wound on his body with his hands, the blood on his left shoulder is still seeping down, the ghost is slightly tired and kneeling on one knee, and replies: "General......"
At this time, General Yan's pupils slowly widened, and then slowly narrowed, his face turned pale, and he asked, "Ghost, how is the implementation of the plan over there in the underground palace?" β
The ghost replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "General Qiyu, last night at the entrance of the underground palace, we were attacked by an assassin, that assassin is highly skilled, except for me, none of the other elite soldiers have been spared, and the army has been wiped out, and the army is ...... The theft of military silver ......"
The hall was silent at this time, and General Yan's face had turned from pale to angry.
General Yan's face was hideous at this moment, his muscles were bursting up, he glared at the ghost fiercely, and reprimanded angrily: "The place where the gold is hidden in the underground palace is so secret, how can people find out? β
General Yan really couldn't believe it at this time!
But some things are like this, even if you don't want to believe it, but this has become a fact, an unchangeable fact.
"How did they find out where the dungeon is?" General Yan was still unwilling to accept this reality at this moment, to be precise, he was unwilling to believe the method that the prince said about using the spirit bird to guide.
The ghost tried to calm himself down, and said slowly, "That assassin disguised himself as one of ours at some point, and then blended into that army, so ......"
General Yan's anger came up for a while, he slapped the desk with his hand, and immediately extinguished a few candles in the hall.
It seems that he fell for Qin Yu's plan, in fact, from the beginning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not find the whereabouts of the military silver, and used the spirit bird to trick him into transferring the military silver, and then he intercepted the 100,000 taels of military silver from it, but now the theft of the military silver is small, if His Royal Highness the Prince denounces himself in front of the king, then the consequences are unimaginable......
The prince is not as unbearable as they think, it seems that everything the prince did in the past was pretended, it turns out that the real him is not like this, a far-sighted and good thinker, he is his original face......
The general who has always been arrogant was beaten by Qin Yu today, and he suddenly realized!
This time he was defeated, completely defeated!
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun of dawn in the east had begun to shine on the peaceful and peaceful land of the Northern Dynasty.
From the moment the sun rises today, does it mean that General Yan will have to accept a different fate?
If today was destined to be the day of the storm, then he had nothing to fear, because from the beginning he had prepared for the worst......
General Yan's face eased a little at this time, and the eyes with despair were replaced by deep, inky and bottomless eyes.
"Stand down!" To everyone's surprise, General Yan did not put the ghost to death at this moment, according to the general's usual style, those who did not complete the task had only one ending, death.
At this time, the ghost felt that the general's eyes were very terrifying, and he had almost lost his humanity, like a beast dog, and could come out at any time......
I saw General Yan make a gesture, and the ghost clearly remembered that he was calling the shots.
A terrifying command......
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has truthfully reported the situation to the king, then General Yan will be a dead end in the future, but with General Yan's power, he will not obediently accept this reality, so he will definitely implement that plan in advance......
A plan that will have to be implemented sooner or later......
This means that something big is going to happen next......
The ghost slowly walked out of the main hall of the General's Mansion.
At this time, in the General's Mansion, General Yan's men and horses had already arrived here and were ready to standby!
General Yan is preparing for the worst for himself, if he is destined to face this storm today, then he can only protect himself by taking precautions.
At this time, General Yan was unusually calm, and the ugly face before had gradually disappeared, replaced by a wicked smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
But General Yan was still sitting in the main hall at the moment, and he did not issue the next order, and it seemed that he still had some scruples.
As a powerful minister in the court, his ambition for power has reached its peak, and now he only needs to give his own order to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, which he has been planning for many years......
But he had not given this order so far, and with the bottle in his hand at this time, he was still hesitating......
At this time, a guard in the palace suddenly came to report: "General, the king's holy order has arrived!" β
General Yan showed a surprised expression at this time, he didn't expect the prince's movements to be so fast, and the holy order had already arrived at the mansion so early.
"Someone is coming" General Yan called the right-hand man and two teams of men and horses around him.
"You are divided into two teams, and each of you will stand behind the tent in the temple, and later you will act according to my gestures, remember, watch my gestures and act, and let him come and go." General Yan has a weak heart and is planning all this.
"Yes, General." Two teams of men and horses were hidden in the temple. One team is waiting with swords, and the other is ready with bows.
"Ghost, go and bring the herald with you." General Yan ordered.
A tall man in a black robe seemed to have descended from the sky to the palace of the general's mansion.
That person looked like he was wearing a thousand-year-old ice on his face, and he didn't smile, this person was General Yan's most powerful and trusted killer - Ghost. It seems that he is really very powerful, and he has treated the wound himself just now without leaving a trace.
"Yes, General." Then the ghost went out,
Moments later......
"Herald brought." After the ghost brought the herald to the temple, he stood on the right side of the general.
The herald walked into the main hall of the General's Mansion with the Holy Decree in his hand, and at this time, General Yan's face in the main hall of the mansion was dark and ugly.
"Spread the holy order, General Yan listens to the order!" The herald looked at General Yan, only to see General Yan holding a wine glass in his hand, hesitating, but still did not receive the holy order.
The herald decreed again: "Seeing the holy decree is like seeing the king, and the general will not kneel!" The herald's eyes looked at the situation in the hall, and he had already sensed the murderous aura outside the tent inside the hall. At this time, General Yan still did not kneel.
"If you don't bow to the holy order, it's a great disrespect to the king, general!" The herald urged the general to receive the order again.
General Yan held the wine bottle in his hand tightly, and then put the wine bottle down vigorously, and the wine in the wine glass spilled on the table.
He strode over to the herald, then bent over to his knees, clenched into fists.
When the herald saw that General Yan had already knelt down, he opened the decree and read it: "'The emperor blesses the Northern Dynasty.'" General Yan had meritorious scheming and foresight, and bravely seized the robbed army's silver, which was indispensable, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and 100 horses of silk. 'Congratulations to the general, the king will choose an auspicious day to celebrate the general's feast. After reading the decree, the herald handed it to General Yan.
After listening to the reading of the holy decree, the general was very surprised: ???
Unexpectedly, the crown prince did not denounce him in front of the king, but gave this credit to himself, General Yan really didn't know what this Qin Yu wanted to do at this time?
At this time, the ghost standing aside also felt incredible when he heard it.
General Yan didn't react for a while, but felt a "boom" in his head.
"The general is not going to thank you soon!" The herald looked at General Yan and said.
At this time, General Yan came back to his senses and took the command with both hands: "Minister, thank you, Lord Longen!" β
When the herald walked out of the main hall, General Yan was furious at this time, and General Yan hated the prince very much in his heart, and he thought to himself: Qin Yu, this kid actually intercepted my 100,000 taels of gold and then took 1,000 taels of gold to laugh at me, this result is like the ending of an archer's game. One hundred taels of gold, and in the end the weak got ninety-nine taels of gold, and the wounded got one tael of gold. Now the 100,000 taels of gold that he snatched back turned into 1,000 taels of gold. In the end, you can only get 1 in 1000.
General Yan gritted his teeth in anger, good you Qin Yu, this great gift, General Ben will definitely return it twice!
In the main hall, the ghost walked up to the general and said, "General, what you asked me to investigate yesterday has been investigated. β
"Tell me!!" General Yan said menacingly.
"The person who followed the prince yesterday was actually the second son of Lord Xiangguo, this second son has been practicing swords outside all the year round and has not participated in the political affairs of the DPRK and China, so it is normal for us not to recognize him." The ghost truthfully reported to the general.
It seems that this time it was Lord Xiangguo and the prince who conspired together, and usually underestimated Xiangguo.
"Oh, it turned out to be the second son of Xiangguo, it seems that we were negligent this time, wait for a few days, General Ben is in a good mood, and naturally give the prince a good gift." General Yan said with a strange expression.
