Chapter 221: Crisis Under Calm
Chongzhen finally agreed to the six people, as a monarch, there are people who are not used for themselves, and this kind of person is definitely not allowed to stay. And Chongzhen will agree, in fact, he is not afraid of what waves these six people can make.
The six of them were taken away from the imperial city that night, without any help, and Chongzhen did not give them a single soldier. And to assassinate Mao Wenlong, he can only rely on the strength of the six of them, and there is no external force to borrow at all.
Wu Chengen was responsible for taking the six people out of the imperial city and taking them to the old site of the original East Factory, which was once glorious but now a pile of ruins. The faΓ§ade is okay, and you can see that there are still people cleaning it from time to time, but after entering it, it is a diametrically opposite scene.
The ground is full of dead grass and fallen leaves, the doors and windows of the houses are all broken, and there is no one to see in the entire Dongchang complex, and the only thing that can be described is only one word 'desolate'.
Wu Chengen didn't say anything, he directly dropped a few hundred taels of silver, some change of clothes, and a few embroidered spring knives. Then he glanced at the six people coldly, and quickly returned to the imperial city with his entourage to resume his life.
The six people stopped at the gate of the yamen to watch Wu Chengen leave, and the second head said to the big head: "Big brother, ......"
"Don't say anything, let's find a comfortable room inside." He turned around and walked straight inside.
The second block head and a few others followed, the gate was re-closed, and the desolate courtyard and dilapidated houses left the six with little room to stay in.
The last six settled directly in the kitchen in the backyard and lit the fire, which dispelled the darkness of the night. Let this deserted East Factory have a trace of popularity, and it is no longer so eerie and fearful.
Sitting around the fire, the bright light of the fire shone on everyone's faces, and all of them looked cloudy and uncertain, as if they all had a heavy heart.
The head of the block took the lead in speaking: "Who knows or understands this Mao Wenlong?" β
The other five shook their heads one after another to say that they didn't know, and the second head of the block said clearly: "Big brother, do we really have to work hard for Chongzhen?" β
A cold gaze swept over the other five people one by one, and said coldly: "If you don't sell your life, you think we can escape." Even if we can escape for a while, will we be able to escape for a lifetime? β
The other five people immediately fell silent, the world is not the king's land, and the six people are all remnants of the eunuch party, and they have long been spurned by the people of the world. Even if they are willing to stoop to serve others, others will not necessarily believe them.
The third child couldn't help but say: "Big brother, even if we really kill that Mao Wenlong for Chongzhen, that Chongzhen will definitely not let us go." Anyway, in the end, we will die, so why should we offend others and build strong enemies again! β
He glanced at the third child appreciatively, and said with a wry smile: "Kill Mao Wenlong, we still have a glimmer of life, if we don't do what Chongzhen said, I dare to guarantee that we will never see the sun tomorrow." β
The faces of the other five people changed drastically, and they all got up to look around, and the tense atmosphere suddenly permeated the small kitchen.
Yifang was still calm, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't need to be so nervous, there is no one else in this East Factory at present, I can still be sure." I was looking for a room to stay in just now, and I had already secretly noticed it. β
Hearing this, the five of them breathed a sigh of relief and settled down.
The second head continued to ask: "Big brother, what should we do next?" β
He said indifferently: "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will leave Jingshi immediately, go to Henan Mansion, and then disguise ourselves and blend into Ye County." What do you think about the opportunity to act after that? β
After a short period of thought, the remaining five people all agreed, and none of them objected to the proposal of the first block.
After that, the six of them stopped discussing it, and each looked for a place to rest in the kitchen and slept peacefully.
As soon as the sky was dawning, the six of them immediately got up and went straight to the city gate, and after waiting for the city gate to open, they immediately rode their horses and galloped away from the capital division.
Not long after the six people left, the twenty horsemen also left one after another, and the leader was Du Xiaotian, who was ordered by Chongzhen.
Two groups of people rushed to Yexian County, Henan, and their purpose was to assassinate Mao Wenlong by all means.
"Ahh......h
Early in the morning, Mao Wenlong kept sneezing as soon as he got up. Rubbing his nose with his hand, Mao Wenlong secretly wondered: "Damn, do you have a cold?" β
"Ahh......h
At this time, Mao Wenlong no longer had any doubts, obviously, he had a cold last night, but fortunately he did not have a fever.
After washing, I came to the doctor in the house to take a look, and said that there was a slight cold, and it was okay to drink it after boiling some medicine.
The matter of catching a cold is easy to solve, but Mao Wenlong always has an uneasiness in his heart.
For the sake of prudence, he should summon the great.
"There's been a lot of trouble out there lately, has it?" Mao Wenlong asked Haoda while drinking the potion in the council hall.
His face was full of doubts, although he didn't understand why Mao Wenlong asked these questions early in the morning, he still shook his head and said, "It's calm outside, and there is no bad news from Xuzhou." In Henan, the rebel army has fled, and even the Guide Mansion that we have just taken is also calm. β
Mao Wenlong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the imperial court doesn't have any reaction?" β
Haoda shook his head and said truthfully: "No, I didn't even send troops to spy on it." It's as if the imperial court has ignored the Guide Mansion. β
"Isn't that right? Guide Mansion is also a big city no matter how you say it, and after it falls into our hands, the imperial court must not react like this. Could it be that Chongzhen secretly has other arrangements? Mao Wenlong was even suspicious.
Haoda casually echoed: "What the chief soldier said is extremely true, and it is indeed incomprehensible that the imperial court reacted so calmly. β
It's a pity that Mao Wenlong can't grasp any situation at present, and he can only rely on guesses. For the sake of prudence, he still instructed Haoda: "It's too calm, and things will definitely not pass so easily." You pass on my orders, let Liu Guangzuo and them be careful and vigilant, and they will not relax for a moment. β
"Yes! General Soldiers. He replied loudly.
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and asked Haoda to retreat and do something. He got up and shook his somewhat dizzy head, and reluctantly got up to go back to the bedroom for a nap.
He had just walked to the door, but when he saw Hao Da going and returning, he immediately asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?" β
With a strange face, he walked straight to Mao Wenlong's ear and whispered: "Chief soldier, there are people outside who ask to see you." β
"Who?"
"Ren Tianming."
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment: "That traitor of the Fusang Sect? β
Hao nodded and said, "It's him." β
