Lord Ding Guiren was indeed rushing in the direction of the capital, and there were still four or five people by his side at the moment, holding waist knives in their hands, and it seemed that they should be his guards. He went to the frontier and suffered a lot, which can be seen from his face, the wind in the frontier is strong, and Lord Ding, who has been in Beijing, went to the frontier, and experienced the wind blowing, his face darkened a little, and he also did some work.

Ding Guiren sat in the carriage, this place is only three days away from the capital, that is to say, in three more days, he can get to the capital, and the incident is just a few days later.

Someone came to report.

"Lord Ding, there is someone in front." Ding Guiren's road is not a big road, he returned to Beijing by the emperor's will, so in order to avoid the eyes and ears of some people, he picked some roads that few people take, and now he hears someone coming, so he is a little vigilant.

The guard on the horse next to him said cautiously: "Lord Ding, what should I do?" ”

Master Ding asked, "How many are there?" ”

"Five or six people, all of them are people who know kung fu." Come humanely.

Ding Dadao: "The closer we get to the capital, the more careful we have to be, the nose of the brocade guard is very smart, we wait and see what happens." ”

The people on the horse were getting closer and closer, and Ding Guiren could even hear the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous.

The person who came was already in front of him, Ding Guiren was in the car, blocked by the curtain, and outsiders could not see it, and a person immediately got down on the opposite side and went straight to the carriage, Ding Guiren's guards were very vigilant, knowing that the person who came was coming to the carriage, and if it was close to a distance of about twenty or thirty paces, and the person who came did not speak, they would move.

Ding Guiren also felt a little uneasy.

The person who came stopped, this person was a young man, with a bow on his back and a knife in his hand, I saw him salute Ding Guiren on the carriage and said: "Lord Ding, I am Wang Laozi's subordinate, Wang Qingyi, I have come to meet Lord Ding, and I have important matters to discuss." ”

When Ding Guiren heard that it was someone sent by Wang Laohu, he was a little relieved, but in the current situation, no one could believe it, what if it was a counterfeit? So, Ding Guiren lifted the curtain and said a few words to one of the guards beside him.

The guard said to Wang Qingyi: "Why didn't your son-in-law come in person?" ”

"Childe is now the secretary of the military department, and he can't get out of it for a while."

The book of the military department? As soon as he heard the book of the Ministry of War, Ding Guiren couldn't sit still, he directly opened the curtain and asked, "Wang Laohu has become the secretary of the Ministry of War?" ”

"Yes, Lord Ding. Because of his position, it is inconvenient for him to be in contact, but I have brought important news to Master Ding. ”

Ding Guiren believed it, because at this time he could only trust the people from the capital.

Originally, things should have developed like this, Lord Cao sent someone to pick up Ding Guiren, and then his people led Lord Ding's people into the capital, but now, everything has changed.

"You mean Master Cao was killed?" Ding Guiren didn't believe his ears.

"Yes, Wang Gongzi informed us of the news overnight, and asked us to send someone to protect Lord Ding halfway." Wang Qingyi said.

It turned out that that night, Wang Laohu came out of Cao's mansion over the wall, and after seeing Mu Huaying, he sent a signal to Zhang Zheng that he wanted to see Zhang Zheng, although he didn't know where Zhang Zheng's people were, but they had unique contact information, so no matter what, he wanted to see Zhang Zheng that night.

A spark flashed in the night sky, and the sound.

Zhang Zheng was injured and has not fully recovered, but he still came.

"Childe."

"Zhang Zheng, how are your injuries?"

"Go back to Gongzi, rest for a few more days and you should be fully healed." Wang Laohu knew that this was Zhang Zheng's words of relief, but at this moment, it was used from the moment, and Wang Laohu had no way, "Zhang Zheng, the matter is serious, I have to summon you, Lord Cao was killed tonight, I guess it was the people of the Eight Tigers, and their goal is to rush back to Beijing to help the emperor's Lord Ding Guiren Ding." I think Master Ding should also be targeted by the people of Jinyiwei. ”

"Childe mean that we should protect Lord Ding?" Zhang Zheng asked.

"The Eight Tigers are ruthless, he wants to kill all these loyal people, and he is willing, so you immediately send someone to protect Lord Ding Guiren."

"Yes, Childe." Zhang Zheng asked, "But, where is Lord Ding now?" ”

"You go and beat Feng Sheng right away and let him help investigate." Wang Laohu said, "You just let Wang Qingyi and Wang Teng's uncle and nephew go, and I don't worry about the others." ”

In this way, Wang Qingyi's uncle and nephew were appointed by Wang Laohu to protect Ding Guiren.

"No wonder, it was supposed to be Master Cao who came to pick us up." Ding Guiren said, "What are your son-in-law's arrangements?" ”

"Childe said, everything is up to Lord Ding."

"How many people did you bring?" Ding Guiren asked.

"More than a hundred." Wang Qingyi replied.

When Ding Guiren came to the capital, he was mentally prepared to come, the Jinyiwei would not let him go, and the Eight Tigers would not let him go, and his itinerary was kept strictly secret, but he was still discovered by the Jinyiwei.

"Liu Jin has already given an order to kill you before Lord Ding enters Beijing." Wang Qingyi said.

"Kill me? They come when they have the ability. ”

As the two of them were talking, there was a strange noise around them, and a guard said, "Jinyi Guard, there is Jinyi Guard." ”

The horse neighed, and not far from Ding Guiren's carriage, a brocade guard appeared. On the one hand, Liu Jin asked Wang Laohu to kill Ding Guiren, but on the other hand, he had already sent Jinyi guards to stop the killing.

"Protect Lord Ding." Wang Qingyi said.

I saw that among the few people who came with him, one of them launched a sky-piercing fire into the sky, which was a signal sent to the second team of Minghu, and Wang Qingyi said that he had brought a hundred people, and these people were hiding in some places next to Lord Ding.

The Jinyi guards were menacing, and they rushed towards Ding Guiren's carriage with embroidered spring knives. Wang Qingyi put the arrow on his bow and aimed it at the Jinyi guard who had just rushed over. "Lord Ding, our people will be here soon." As he spoke, he hid his bow behind his back, drew the knife at his waist, and rushed out to the people of the former brocade guard.

"Kill". Qingyi rushed for more than 30 meters, and met with the brocade guards who rushed up, a move to force back, the big knife roared and threw to the side of the brocade guard, "when" the big knife and the embroidered spring knife while playing side block, sometimes by the side of the brocade guard, sometimes by Wang Qingyi's side, the blade burst, the two of them one after the other, jumping up and down, in this short area to carry out the battle of you and me knife light, volley, the knife flashed, the embroidered spring knife crossed under Wang Qingyi's legs, Qingyi flashed to avoid the blade, and once again exerted force, in the air of him, the knife is not idle, the knife is out with strength, Like a long thatch, attack it with the tip of a knife.

The embroidered spring knife came back to the rescue, the blade of the knife was blocked, and the collision with the tip of the knife roared by, cut through the knife, and reached the other side. The two fight as they spin.

Wang Teng was fighting with the two brocade guards with a big knife in his hand.

Whether it was the guards or the people who came with Ding Guiren, there was no one who was not entangled by the people of the Jinyi Guard, and the situation was extremely critical.

The groom drove the car and retreated from one side.

"Drive, drive." There was only one guard beside him, and the brocade guards behind him were still chasing, and there were dozens of brocade guards.

"Drive, drive" The coachman raised the whip in his hand and threw it on the horse's back, and the horse ran forward, but the horse did not run fast on such a path. Although Ding Guiren was sitting in the carriage, he still had some understanding of the situation, and he couldn't imagine such a menacing Jinyi guard, and the guard said: "My lord will go first, and I will deal with it." ”

Ding Guiren said: "Be careful. ”

The carriage was still moving forward, and seeing that the Jinyi guards were catching up, there were people in black masked clothes in front of them, and they were the members of the second team of Minghu who came to rescue Lord Ding.

The short knives were already in their hands, and as soon as Lord Ding's knife cart passed, they all stood in front of the carriage and fought with the brocade guards who rushed up.

Wang Laohu's Mansion.

At this time, Wang Laohu stood in front of the study with a heavy heart, he looked at the scenery outside the window, but he had no intention of appreciating it, his mind was entangled by some troubles, he was brewing, he was thinking, the overall situation was in his chest, but how to control it, he still had to think about it one by one.

"Childe, there is news from Shandong and Huaide, Wan Niang and Lei Yinghong's ministry have already made a transfer to the capital, and according to your meaning, they will disperse into Beijing separately. The men and horses of the Flower God Society will also arrive on the outskirts of the capital on time and wait for Childe's orders. ”

"With such a high density of people entering Beijing, do you think Liu Jin will not know?" Wang Laohu still showed some concern about the troops entering Beijing.

"If it is a plain entry into Beijing for no reason, a large number of people will definitely enter Beijing a few days in advance, and they will definitely be aware of it." Feng Shengdao.

"So I have already met with Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites a few days ago, and told him that the emperor is going to hold a birthday celebration ceremony in the near future, and asked him to prepare."

"Can he believe what Childe said?"

"Of course he won't believe what I say, but if Liu Jinfa sends it, he will definitely do it." It was when Feng Liu'er Migu Yiyao was incense in the temple, looking at the crowd coming and going, Wang Laohu suddenly thought that the people of the Ming Dynasty believed in Buddhism, if there was a big ceremony, the people from all over the world would enter Beijing to celebrate the ceremony together, and there were many people in the capital.

When the decision was made, Wang Laohu met Liu Jin and talked to him about the celebration.

After Wang Laohu left, Liu Jin also met Fu Wen.

Fu Wendao: "Wang Laohu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, his hands are growing, and he wants to hold a celebration, when will he also care about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"I'm not surprised that he cares about the Ministry of Rites, but I'm very happy, do you know why?" Liu Jin asked.

"Chitose thinks he's going to do something bad?" Fu Wendao.

"I'm going to fight him." Liu Jin said, "I won't know if he thinks about it." Wang Laohu wants to fish in troubled waters in the name of a celebration. ”

"He wants his own people to come to Beijing?" Fu Wendao.

"He thought it was a perfect job, so I followed his wishes, thinking that everything was under his control, and that I was going to let him lose badly in the end." Liu Jindao.

"Wang Laohu is determined to go against Chitose Ye, Chitose Ye, in case, Wang Laohu's people are out of control, what should I do?"

"Are you worried that there are a lot of people who are helping the king tiger? How many people in the world are under his control? ”

"The humble position is worried, Wang Laohu is very witty, no one can imagine where he will get some people out, and then, if the situation is out of control, this matter will not be easy to handle."

"What you said, I have already considered it, in the court, what he once controlled, that is, the Hangcheng Guard."

"Now that the commander of the guard post is Lord Wei's own person, can he move the soldiers and horses of the guard post in Hangzhou?"

"You underestimate Wang Laohu, do you know how to fight against Ning Wangye, how he moved the rescue soldiers? If he goes to the Hangcheng Guardhouse, he will definitely move in to rescue the soldiers. ”

"Then we need to be ready." Fu Wendao.

"I'm not going to give him that chance." Liu Jin said, with a smug smile on his face.

Back to Wang Laohu's

Den. "This matter has been decided, and the celebration is set on the day of our event, although I am in a hurry, Liu Jin still agreed."

Feng Sheng thought for a while and said: "I think there is something wrong with this, Childe, you think, such a major event as a celebration usually has to be prepared half a year in advance, but now it is done in such a hurry, Liu Jinren is so cunning, at this juncture, he still promised you something, I wonder if he already knows something?" ”

After Feng Shengyi said, Wang Laohu was also a little uneasy, the words had already been said, it was impossible to take it back, and it was the most feasible way to let people in when there were many people, but now, Wang Laohu now thinks that such a thing is also risky.

"Everyone is ready and wants to enter Beijing along this line, but there is no hurry to change it." Wang Laohu is worried about the authentic.

"Rather than having an accident, it should be changed and it should be too late for people to be informed." Feng Shengdao.

"Tell me, what other ways can we enter Beijing, especially when so many people enter Beijing together." Wang Laohu asked.

"Childe, there is a way, let me think, let me think." Feng Shengdao.

Originally, I wanted to use the method of celebration and Daming to have fun together, and fish in the water when there were many people, but I didn't expect that Liu Jin generously agreed, and in such an urgent situation, he also agreed, Wang Laohu was also uneasy, and agreed too quickly, sometimes it was a bad shock. Is there a better way than to fish in troubled waters?

There must be, Wang Laohu thought, there are thousands of roads here, and there will always be one that leads to Rome.

It was another sleepless night, and Wang Laohu couldn't figure it out for a long time. At this time, Cheng Cheng took the girl Jin Ling into the room. She looked at Wang Laohu like this, knowing that he was trapped by something, "Xianggong, I stewed a bowl of porridge for you." ”

Wang Laohu came back to his senses and said, "Second lady, thank you." ”

"I see that you are so worried when you eat that it is difficult to swallow even the food, and I know that you have something on your heart." Cheng Cheng said as he brought the porridge in Jin Ling's hand, "Nothing compares to eating." ”

"The second lady is right." Wang Laohu smiled.

At this time, Feng Liu'er also entered the study accompanied by the girl, she saw that Bian Chengcheng was also there, and smiled, only to see that the girl behind her was also holding a plate in her hand, the purpose of the two of them was the same, seeing that Wang Laohu was preoccupied, let people stew porridge, and brought it to him now.

Wang Laohu said: "My two good ladies, do you all know that I have not eaten enough tonight? ”

"My sister saw it, I saw it too, since I married into your Wang family, I have never seen you like this." Feng Liuer said.

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you. To tell you the truth, I'm worried, if I can't get along in the capital, or if there is any accident, what will I do with you? ”

"Xianggong is now a family man, my sister and I are counting on you to take care of you, you can't give up first, or if there is really something, you have to tell us." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

"I'm just making an analogy." Wang Laohu said, "Whether you are happy, Jin Ling, or if you are happy, I regard them as family members, and I don't want anything to happen to me, and I don't want anything to happen to you." ”

"What Xianggong said is a little strange, a family, of course, no one can have an accident." Feng Liuer said.

"Xianggong, I know that you regard Jinling as your own, if you are interested, take Jinling as a concubine, and we also regard her as a sister." Bian Chengcheng has a deep relationship with Ruyi, and he is naturally not a problem with Jin Ling. Compared with Feng Liuer, it is a little different, but she does not stop it, and objectes: "I also agree with what my sister said." ”

Wang Laohu looked at Jin Ling, and Jin Ling said: "Childe, I am willing to serve Childe, but ......"

"What Miss Jinling means, I understand, I just want you to know that my wives treat you as a sister, and I also treat you as my own person, no matter who or what's going on, don't bury it in your heart." Wang Laohu said.

"I made a note of it." Jin Lingdao.

"Xianggong, after talking so much, take advantage of the heat and eat these two bowls of porridge." Bian Cheng Cheng said.

After eating these two bowls of porridge, Wang Laohu felt the warmth of the two ladies, but what he wanted to continue was to continue, but he had to be more precise and thoughtful.

Cheng Cheng didn't leave: "My sister was here just now, and I didn't say some things." Xianggong, isn't what you're going to do this time dangerous? Seeing that Wang Laohu didn't answer her, she continued: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know that what you want to do this time is different from the previous ones, but if it's really dangerous, you can not do it." ”

The Eight Tigers were a hurdle in his heart. But can it be explained by just not doing anything? "Second lady, I have been very happy to come all the way with you, I know that you are very smart, I can't hide the things in my heart from your eyes, please believe that I put you first before I do everything."

"At the top of the list, it's not just us, it's you. Xianggong, you have to think about everything for yourself. To put it mildly, what is the meaning of our sisters in this world without you? Cheng Cheng said.

"Promise me, Cheng Cheng, if ...... I'm just saying that if I can't stay in this outer world, you have to live well. In this sentence, Wang Laohu not only has no confidence in the anti-chaos Eight Tigers, but also has the helplessness of God to let him go back from the future.

Cheng Cheng hugged Wang Laohu and said, "You can't have anything, you know, you can't have anything, I have to give you a child." ”
