Chapter Seventy-Four: The Strange Zhu Mei
Now it was done, he did not hesitate any longer, and immediately climbed up by all means, carefully pushed open the window from the outside, and dodged into the attic, and leaped silently onto the beams.
The furnishings in the attic are very simple, and following the lights, you can find Wang Doujin and his wife, who are laboriously pulling open a piece of the floor, and as the floor is pulled apart, a piece of golden light shines out, and the light shines on the two people, as if they are painted with a layer of precious light.
It turned out that under the floor, is the storage place of the royal family's gold and silver jewelry, this Wang Doujin is really careful, not only hung the key to the vault around his neck, day and night, but also hid the gold and silver underground, but he was really careful to the extreme, but unfortunately, he was destined to break the fortune today.
The husband and wife carefully inspected the treasure and found that there was nothing missing, so they were relieved, but their eyes were full of doubts, and they carefully restored the floor to its original state when they were puzzled for a while.
At this moment, although Wang Doujin was relieved, he still said with a trace of anger and anger: "Bastard, it's okay to shout nonsense, see how I clean up that guy who has nothing to do, but will someone really steal our gold and silver and give it to Zhu Wen." ”
Seeing her husband's mixed expression, the woman comforted: "Ah Lang, even if there are really thieves, you shouldn't know that we hide the treasure underground, Anla, wait for a lesson to that mouthy little guy, let's rest early." ”
"Well, that makes sense." Wang Doujin always felt a little unsure, but he couldn't find a reason for a while, so he had to echo in passing.
The two of them re-covered the floor, exited the attic, locked the door again, and as the footsteps of Wang Doujin and his wife faded away, Zhu Li immediately jumped down from the beam of the room gently, without even making a light sound.
He came to the floor that Wang Doujin and his wife had just moved, stretched out his hand, and with his current strength, he easily lifted the floor open.
There are a lot of good things, what catches your eye, silver alone is filled with a full dozen large boxes, there are three or four boxes of gold, five or six boxes of jewelry, jade ......., a cursory look, where is this like an ordinary rich man's vault, it is simply the silver cabinet of a big trading house, but think about Wang Zhongxian, one of the eunuchs standing behind this person, Zhu Li is also relieved, the eunuch's housekeeping skills are greedy.
He first took out the large cloth bag that had been prepared from his waist, and after opening it, he didn't even look at the box containing silver, and directly put three large boxes of gold bars into the cloth bag, if he wasn't afraid that the cloth bag would be stuck by the window, he really wanted to take it all, after everything was done, he climbed the beam again, ran out of the window, and quietly slipped out of the inner courtyard.
Returning to the little maid's room again, Zhu Li changed back into her clothes, and then walked out of the door with a cloth bag on her back and climbed out of the courtyard wall of the Wang family.
Yue Pengju is dedicated, he didn't drive when he squatted there, and after seeing Zhu Li come out, he tiptoed over.
Zhu Li didn't speak, just nodded to the other party, and the two seemed to have a good heart, and the fallen leaves left the range of the Wang family's compound without a trace and silently.
In a temporary inn, looking at a bag of gold bars, Yue Pengju was completely dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "These are all gold, this bag can at least be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”
"Haha, after the eunuch power, don't take it for nothing, besides, after you redeem Yang Zaixing's brothers, it's better to leave Wangwu County." Zhu Li looked at Yue Pengju and said calmly, "When the time comes, I still have something to ask you to help with, you can take all of these, and you can use them in the future." ”
When Yue Pengju heard this, he felt that Zhu Li seemed to have other plans, and said curiously: "Isn't it true that Jun Jun has already made a plan?" ”
Zhu Li glanced at him, and said helplessly: "It's not a plan, it's just an expedient measure, when the Zaixing brothers come out, I will write you a letter, you bring this money, and your family, take my letter, go north to Shuozhou, go to the Thorn Mansion to find Guo Qizuo, hand over my letter to him, and he will naturally arrange you properly." ”
When Yue Pengju heard this, he was taken aback: "What about the envoy, won't you go with us?" ”
"I also want to, but I'm afraid I can't make the trip recently, Weishui and the Yellow River, Tian Lingzi and they are afraid that they have already opened a net, and the states and counties in the north may also be full of documents that want me, if I go north with you, it will be tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, sending people thousands of miles away, and it will harm you." Zhu Li sighed.
"Tian Lingzi really deserves to die, but does the envoy really plan to travel to the rivers and lakes temporarily, this is not a long-term solution." Yue Pengju was genuinely worried about Zhu Li.
"It's okay, as long as you save your life, sooner or later you will regret these people who have framed and hunted me down, now that Zhu Wen is in charge of Henan Mansion, his command is uneven, and some people's actions are too extreme, you still take your family and friends to Shuozhou, so as not to suffer in vain." Zhu Li sincerely thought about Yue Peng.
The character of the generals under Huang Chao is indeed very different, including famous generals like Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou under Zhu Wen, who love and respect the people; Of course, there are also scum like Li Zongquan and Qin Yan who use human flesh as military food.
And most of Zhu Wen's subordinates are the old Huangchao department, and the fish and dragons are mixed, who can guarantee that Wangwu County can be controlled by those good generals who are generous to others, so it is better to plan as soon as possible.
For Zhu Li's arrangement, although Yue Pengju was worried about his safety, he also had to obey his fate, if he was alone, he would definitely follow Zhu Li, but he still had the ties of his relatives, and it was impossible for his brain to be hot, so he rolled up his sleeves and followed Zhu Li in the mountains.
Besides, Shuozhou is Zhu Li's base camp, and Zhu Li introduced him to Shuozhou, which means that Zhu Li has accepted him, and if he wants to go to Shuozhou to shine, how can he not be willing.
The two rested in the inn for a night, and after dawn, they hastily finished breakfast, Yue Pengju took the gold, went home first, hid the gold, and took a few gold bars, and went to the yamen to redeem people.
Zhu Li stayed in the inn with nothing to do, but not long after Yue Pengju left, several unfamiliar faces wandered around the inn, ghostly observing Zhu Li in the section chief, it seemed that he was stared at by these people when he was having breakfast.
They looked at Zhu Li with a very strange gaze, there was a hidden fierce light, obviously not ordinary people, Zhu Li just glanced at them, and knew what the identity of these people was, and they must be the dead people who were responsible for searching for him.
Fortunately, Yue Pengju had already left, I just hoped that these dead soldiers didn't notice Yue Pengju, and as soon as he thought of this, Zhu Li quickly left the inn and rushed out of the county.
Sure enough, the strangers who wandered around the inn immediately chased after them like hyenas seeing their prey.
The terrain of Wangwu Mountain is strange and changeable, hills and basins are mixed in, the peaks are undulating, continuous and infinite, and there are countless caves running through the belly of the mountain, I don't know where it leads, it is a good place to escape and fly.
Zhu Li shook off his body and ran wildly like a tiger, leading this group of dead soldiers who wanted to chase him through the hills and caves of the royal house.
As he ran, he estimated the distance from the county seat, and he ran for an hour before he stopped, which was already very far away from the county seat, and even if there was a fight, no one would be noticed.
Zhu Li Shi turned around and looked at the group of dead soldiers who were chasing all the way, these people were not like Zhu Li who had undergone extreme training, and they all opened their mouths one by one, like an old dog in the summer sun, stretching out their tongues and panting.
"Who are you?" Looking at these big men who were just ordinary people dressed up, but who exuded a fierce and fierce aura all over their bodies, Zhu Li asked indifferently.
Regarding Zhu Li's questioning, none of the thirty or forty people opened their mouths to reply, but they did not attack, but they just surrounded Zhu Li in the middle very tacitly, and while guarding against Zhu Li's escape, they seemed to be waiting for someone.
Tea Kung Fu, more than a dozen figures rushed in the distance again, the first person, the description became clearer and clearer, seeing this person, it made Zhu Li's pupils shrink for a while, this is a person who should never be here, but now he has appeared.
More than ten people ran to the front and separated everyone, a brave and brave man wearing a silver helmet walked straight to Zhu Li, and when he was a few feet away, he stopped and said, "Zhu Li, I didn't think we would meet again?" ”
Zhu Li looked at the visitor in a daze, and said in disbelief: "I never thought that General Zhu Mei, who should be stationed in Fengtian now, would come to arrest me in person, which really makes me unbelievable." ”
At the beginning, Li Sigong and Li Xiaochang joined the alliance and called on the warlords of the world to raise troops to Qin Wang, and only Zhu Li, who was supported by Li Keju, participated in the alliance, but there was another person who did not participate in the alliance, but he also led troops to approach Chang'an, this person is Zhu Mei.
Last year, Zhu Mei lost in defending Daizhou, and then borrowed Zhu Lizhi's strategy to fly to capture the success of Daizhou, theoretically it should still be the history of Daizhou, but the imperial court wanted to use the Shatuo people to suppress the grass army and recover Chang'an.
After all, the Shatuo people were defeated in the hands of Li Keju and others, and letting the Shatuo people's place of moderation close to Li Keju can have a good deterrent effect, but such a plan hurt Zhu Mei and made him completely lose the position of Shuozhou Assassin.
Zhu Mei lost his position, so he naturally had no face to go to the alliance, but he was unwilling to do nothing, so he started another army to Xingping, but he was unlucky, he wanted to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, and took the opportunity to make merit in the battle of King Qin, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed up, he was defeated by the Huangchao general Wang Chongba.
There was no way, Zhu Mei had no choice but to retreat to Fengtian, but Wang Chongba chased after him and still held his movements to death, causing his original intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob him to be stillborn. (Fengtian: This refers to the current Qianxian County, Shaanxi)
Although Huang Chao was defeated and fled from Chang'an, Wang Chongba of Fengtian did not flee east with Huang Chao, but planned to capture Fengtian as the foundation of his life.
Theoretically, Zhu Mei should still be fighting Wang Chongba in Fengtian, but to Zhu Li's surprise, he actually appeared here now, and he came as the leader of the dead soldiers, which had to make Zhu Li doubt his true identity.
