Chapter 309: Another Distinguished Guest Comes
The fish that slipped through the net soon had news.
Dawn, it was as if last night's events hadn't happened.
Wang Laohu came to the old patriarch and told the Minghu team about their discovery.
"Old patriarch, yesterday as I expected, we followed the fish that slipped through the net and knew his master." Wang Laohu said.
"Prince Wang, what do you see?" The old patriarch asked.
"Relax first, whatever you hear next may not be true. The fish that slipped through the net, last night's destination was the Thirteen Villages of Tujia! Wang Laohu said.
Tujia Thirteen Villages, this name came out of Wang Laohu's mouth, the old patriarch was shocked, could it be that Wang Laohu said that he was a killer sent by Tujia Thirteen Villages?
If this is the case, then what is the real purpose of the craftsman? Does he not only want the position of the patriarch, but also the death of the old patriarch?
"Do you have any grudges with you?" Wang Laohu asked.
The old patriarch thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with anything: "The Tujia people live in harmony, and there are no major stumbles, it won't be because of some trivial things." The old patriarch thought about whether it was because of some trivial things in life that he inadvertently offended the craftsman, which made the craftsman dissatisfied, which led to the murder.
"I don't think the leader of the craftsman is a stingy person, if it is a small matter, then this small matter must have left a particularly big shadow in his heart. Old patriarch, think about it again, if there is anything missing. ”
The old patriarch thought for a moment and said, "It's useless to think about it now, I'll think about it later." ”
"We have to prepare on both sides, now that the craftsman has sent someone to assassinate you, we must be more careful in terms of defense, and we must also inquire about the true purpose of the craftsman's assassination of you." Wang Laohu said.
"What Wang Gongzi said is reasonable. I hope it's all a dream, and when I wake up, nothing has happened. The old patriarch said.
"Report." Someone from outside came in to report: "Old patriarch, there are two people outside who have come to see you." ”
"Who are they?" The old patriarch asked.
"They said they were guests from Henan, passing by the village, and wanted to spend the night here."
"Since they are distinguished guests from afar, invite them in." The old patriarch said.
After a while, two guests from Henan came into the room.
The men in front of the two men were about thirty years old, with small eyes and a short stick. The man in the back was in his twenties, with a slick chin, no beard, and a sword in his hand.
The person in front introduced himself: "Old patriarch, we are Cai Heng and Cai Huan brothers from Henan, passing by your land today, we need to live in the village for two days, and we need to bring some food by the way." ”
"The guests who come from afar to my Wanshou Ancient Village are all distinguished guests, you can stay here with peace of mind, and the things you want to prepare can be bought at the market." The old patriarch was so welcoming to the guests who came from afar.
"Then thank you, old patriarch." Cai Hengdao.
"I'll have a little wine tonight, and I hope you two can enjoy it." The old patriarch said.
"Definitely, definitely." Cai Heng and Cai Huan said at the same time.
Someone led Cai Heng and Cai Huan to the room where they lived.
"It seems that the old patriarch, your side is a treasure of feng shui, and there are many people passing by your side." Wang Laohu said.
"Our Tujia is a mountainous area, and there were not many people passing by, but I didn't expect it to increase recently." After Wang Laohu said, the old patriarch remembered a person, "I now think of a person, more than 20 days ago, someone had been to Wanshou Ancient Village, he claimed to be the person of King Ning, and wanted our Tujiazhai to be under his jurisdiction." ”
King Ning's people? Wang Laohu thought: This King Ning is far away in Jiangxi, but he stretched out his hand to Hunan, he wants to master this Tujia, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses, in addition, this Tujia, the mountain is high and the road is difficult to walk, and it can also be used as a base for his own retreat in the future. He had a wonderful idea. But he pretended to be confused and said, "Did the old patriarch agree to his request?" ”
"This King Ning is generous, saying that if you agree, I will be made a bigger official, and I will have a lot of property. But I thought about it, if I really promised him, our Tujia would be Tujiazhai. ”
"So, the old patriarch didn't promise him."
"This Hunan is not under the jurisdiction of King Ning, and his official title may depend on his mouth, besides, I am not very interested in this Han official." The old patriarch said.
This old patriarch is still somewhat sensible, after all, he has eaten more than us, and has experienced more things than young people. "What happened? Didn't King Ning's people bother you again? ”
"I have sternly rejected him, will he still come?" The old patriarch said.
But Wang Laohu understood that what King Ning wanted, he would not let go easily, but this person did not come again, Wang Laohu had an ominous premonition.
But what it is, Wang Laohu can't say.
"Old patriarch, I still know a little about this King Ning, he recruits talented people everywhere, and this person also has a strange temper, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, so, old patriarch, you have to pay attention during this time." Wang Laohu said.
"King Ning's reputation doesn't seem to be very good." The old patriarch said.
"It's all because of what you do, old patriarch, it's an eventful time, and the defense work of this village can't be careless."
"According to your request, Childe, I have added a dark whistle and a mobile whistle, and what happened like last night should not happen again."
Wang Laohu thought of something else.
Inside the Tiger King's room.
"Qingqing girl, today I was talking with the old patriarch and overheard the news of an old friend of yours." Wang Laohu said.
"My old friend, who is it?" Wang Qingqing said she didn't know.
"King Ning!"
"King Ning came to Tujia Village?" Qingqing Road.
"King Ning sent someone to Tujiazhai, just like going to your Lu Shouzhai, he wants to collect Tujiazhai, and King Ning touched a nose of dust in Tujiazhai."
"It's King Ning again. Childe, this King Ning's personality, you and I know that we must not let him harm Tujiazhai. "Qingqing Road.
Feng Liu'er heard that this matter was related to King Ning, and said, "Have you told the old patriarch about Lujiazhai?" ”
Wang Laohu shook his head: "I didn't tell him about this, so he didn't know more about King Ning." I'm now worried about whether this Tujia rebellion will be a ghost carried out by King Ning, or a fire secretly blown by King Ning's stirring stick. ”
"If that's the case, wouldn't this Tujia village be very dangerous." Feng Liu'er was worried.
"King Ning has taken a fancy to this treasure land of three mountains and five villages." Wang Laohu said, "Therefore, we must find out as soon as possible whether this Tujia rebellion is a ghost caused by King Ning." ”
"Li Tian, have the people sent to investigate come back?" Wang Laohu asked.
"There's no news yet." Li Tian replied.
After all, there is a difference between the Ming Tigers and the special team, if there are people from the special team at this time, maybe the search for intelligence will be easier.
"No, it's not a way to wait like this, I want to go to the Thirteen Villages of Tujia in person to meet the leader of the craftsman." Wang Laohu said.
"Xianggong, do you want to go now?" Feng Liu'er asked.
"Time waits for no one, go now, today Tujiazhai came to two guests from Henan, the old patriarch will have a banquet again, if you ask, just say I went to Tianmen Cave to play." Wang Laohu confessed, "Li Tian, take the Minghu team members and go with me." ”
Wang Laohu didn't know whether it was right or wrong to go to Tujia Thirteen Villages this time, and Jiang Pei was preparing to rebel, and he had a holiday with him, so there was no accident in this way. But to sort out everything in front of you, it is still necessary to go to the Thirteen Villages of Tujia.
"Young girl, you come with me. Drop by to meet our larks. Wang Laohu said.
Wang Laohu took two personal guards and Li Tian and others out of Wanshou Ancient Village.
Wanshou Ancient Village and Tujia Thirteen Villages are not far apart, just because they are all mountain roads, so it also took a lot of effort.
Tujia Thirteen Villages.
Hearing the report, Jiang Pei still seemed to believe that Wang Laohu would come to visit him at this time. Therefore, he couldn't help but ask again: "Is it Wang Laohu?" ”
"The person who came is Wang Laohu." Tujia soldiers.
"Ask him to come in."
Wang Laohu, Wang Qingqing, Li Tian and two personal guards entered the room.
The two sat down.
"Wang Gongzi is not at Brother Buni's place, but he came to my Tujia Thirteen Villages, I don't know what he is here for?" Craftsman asked.
"The scenery of Tujia three mountains and five villages is unique, and there is no need to buy tickets now, so I want to look around." Wang Laohu said, "However, this time, I do have something to ask for." ”
"Oh, what does the prince have to ask of me?" Craftsman asked.
