Chapter 91: Loyalty
Ye Xun's sleep has always been very light, which is also related to the internal skills he practiced, otherwise a person often does not sleep well, and it is easy to have problems.
It was nearly four watches, and it was already quiet outside, and it was also the time when people were most sleepy, because of their own reasons, there were no guards around Ye Xun's house.
But at this moment, Ye Xun, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly to the window: "If you have the courage to sneak in, don't you have the courage to enter my room?" ”
With Ye Xun's words, the window was gently pushed open from the outside, and then a black shadow jumped in.
What made Ye Xun strange was that the man in black did not make a move on him, but turned over and knelt down, and then said: "The villain has come to ask his father-in-law for guilt."
After hearing the voice clearly, Ye Xun couldn't help but be stunned, because he had already heard that the person who came in was none other than Wang Dengku's hardcore subordinate, Hu Jiucheng.
Ye Xun's body did not move, and he frowned and said, "Why are you?" Aren't you guys ready to get started on the road? ”
After listening to Ye Xun's words, Hu Jiucheng suddenly raised his head and said sincerely: "The father-in-law is clever, Wang Dengku's move is self-defeating, the villain did not argue right and wrong in the past, and did a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason, fortunately, with the guidance of a master, the villain is willing to change his mind from now on, swear allegiance to his father-in-law, and ask his father-in-law to take him in."
"Wait..."
Ye Xun was a little confused, he didn't know what this guy had done with Wang Dengku, but it was certain that this guy was also a complete traitor in the past, why did he wake up after not seeing him for a day? He said that he was instructed by a master, what a master? The master who came?
"Are you saying that you are going to betray Wang Dengku and give me my life from now on?"
Hu Jiucheng kowtowed to Ye Xun again before saying: "The villain used to be a horse bandit, and he only had wealth in his heart, but he never thought about the distinction between Han and Yi, so that he did a lot of things for the Tartars, and he didn't know that he had become a traitor who had been stinking for thousands of years.
Not to mention, there is really a bit of meaning that the lost lamb has returned to the right path, but Ye Xun still doesn't believe it, there are so many masters in the world? And what kind of master does Hu Jiucheng have to be to wake up to a person like Hu Jiucheng who is determined to be a slave?
Ye Xun didn't like others kneeling to talk to him, so he said: "You get up and talk first, you guy is getting too fast, I'm still a little uncomfortable, tell me, it was the master who made you lose your way?" ”
Hu Jiucheng kowtowed respectfully, then stood up and said with some embarrassment: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, this master was originally hired by me to assassinate my father-in-law, but before the operation began, he suddenly found me and beat me up hard first, and then told me this."
Just now, Hu Jiucheng was kneeling and talking, and it was dark, Ye Xun didn't even notice that Hu Jiucheng's face was swollen, and when Hu Jiucheng stood up, Ye Xun found that Hu Jiucheng at this moment was alive and got rid of a fox with a swollen face, his face was blue and purple, which was very funny.
After Hu Jiucheng finished speaking, Ye Xun's mind couldn't help but flash the figure of the old beggar.
"Could it be him?"
Ye Xun believes that if it is really that old beggar, he must have a deep relationship with Hu Jiucheng, otherwise he will not beat people, let alone say anything to Hu Jiucheng.
It turns out that there are also people among the killers who can distinguish right from wrong, which is not bad, at least this person is not bad.
looked Hu Jiucheng up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll believe you first, if I let me know that you are two-faced and three-faced, our family is confident that we can take your life."
Ye Xun has been thinking about Wang Dengku's huge business network, but unfortunately he has never found a starting point, Hu Jiucheng has followed Wang Dengku for many years, and is naturally very familiar with the things of the Wang family.
And for now, even if Hu Jiucheng faked his surrender, it would not hurt Ye Xun anything.
After Ye Xun finished speaking, Hu Jiucheng took the initiative to say: "Not counting the master, there are five assassins, they plan to start when the father-in-law passes through Daning Mansion, the villain thinks that instead of being remembered by them, the father-in-law should strike first, and send troops to directly take Wang Dengku's lair in the capital."
Ye Xun knew that Hu Jiucheng was voting for a name, and the idea was good, who wanted to be remembered every day.
nodded and said: "After dawn, I will send someone to take you to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and then tell him what you know, after this matter is done, I will remember you, and I will hand over more important things to you when I turn around."
This is the capital, and it is most appropriate to hand over the matter of arresting people to Jinyiwei, and Hu Jiucheng came forward to do this, which is not a test for him, and it is best for Hu Jiucheng to slaughter Wang Dengku with his own hands, which will be more perfect.
Early the next morning, Ye Xun ordered Liang Zhen to take Hu Jiucheng to find Xu Xianchun.
Although Liang Zhen was not on duty last night, he suddenly saw that there was one more person in Ye Xun's room early in the morning, and this person was quite the opposite, so Liang Zhen was suddenly startled.
In fact, this is of course due to the guards, and it also proves that Hu Jiucheng still has two strokes, otherwise he will not avoid the outermost guards.
At this moment, Liang Zhen has completely calmed down, and he also figured it out, although he is a little sorry for Ye Xun to report Ye Xun's situation to the emperor, but after all, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and he also knows that Ye Xun will never betray the court, so there is no secret that cannot be told to the emperor.
At the same time, the emperor's treatment to him is also generous enough, and there are thousands of hereditary brocade clothes! How many people have not been able to climb to that position in their lifetimes, but now he has easily obtained it, what is there not to be satisfied with?
People are like this, once they find an excuse for their betrayal, they will fall deeper and deeper, and eventually they will not be able to extricate themselves.
Ye Xun called Cheng Yu to eat breakfast together, and also told him about Hu Jiucheng.
After listening to Ye Xun's introduction, Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Father-in-law, my subordinates think that this person is available, in fact, in Liaodong, many people and the captured officers and soldiers are still facing me in their hearts, but they are too closely guarded by Jiannu, and at the same time they are afraid that they will be punished by the imperial court after they come back, so their subordinates dare to suggest that after we return to Liaodong, my father-in-law should issue a decree, that is, I will not blame the soldiers and civilians who return on their own initiative, and I don't know what the will of the father-in-law will be?" ”
Ye Xun nodded and said: "I also have this intention, Brother Cheng, I can't hide it, I plan to set up an intelligence network covering Jianzhou, Mongolia, and even the whole world, I don't know if Brother Cheng is willing to help me?" ”
Listening to Ye Xun's words, Cheng Yu couldn't help but be stunned, it is understandable to set up an intelligence network to monitor Jurchen and Mongolia, but why should the whole world be covered?
If Ye Xun was not a eunuch, Cheng Yu would definitely think that Ye Xun was against him.
Cheng Yu is also a very smart and ambitious person, and after a little pondering, he understands that Ye Xun is looking at the world!
After thinking about it, his eyes lit up, because he was also a person who was eager to do great things, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Ye Xun for his trust, because if this matter spread, it was likely to bring disaster to Ye Xun.
got up and gave Ye Xun a deep salute, and said sincerely: "Yu, I will definitely follow closely with my father-in-law, and I will never have two hearts."
Ye Xun didn't help Cheng Yu this time, but smiled from the bottom of his heart...
