Chapter 365: What the hell
went to visit the five princes, Chu Yun went alone, and did not bring Wu Yun'er, before that, he also gave a post, and only with the approval of the five princes could he go to the mansion to meet him.
The mansion where the fifth prince lives now is not particularly luxurious, after all, he fled from Yanmen Pass in a hurry, so naturally he will not build him a good palace here in Tongguan.
Of course, he is the best place in Tongguan City. Like Wu Jiye, he just lives in the barracks.
Chu Yun saw the fifth prince Zhao Zhi, gave a salute, then took out the gold medal that Xuande gave him before leaving, and said, "Pass on Your Majesty's message." ”
Chu Yun paused, Zhao Zhi knelt down very interestingly, and Chu Yun continued: "Duanwang has been patrolling the sky for more than a year, and there is a change in Yanmen Pass today, so Duanwang is specially ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work on a certain day, and he must not be lazy." ”
"The retainers obey."
After Zhao Zhi finished speaking, he got up, glanced at Chu Yun, and didn't say anything. Chu Yun found that he and Zhao Zhi were probably the most indifferent among all the princes, although among these princes, except for the crown prince, all of them could be regarded as hostile opponents, but Chu Yun couldn't even say a word of greeting, causing the atmosphere to be so cold, and Zhao Zhi was the only one.
However, Chu Yun didn't let the atmosphere stiffen for too long, and bowed down and said, "Since Your Highness already knows the Holy Will, then you will retire first." ”
"Hmm."
Zhao Zhi nodded, responded very coldly, and let Chu Yun leave by himself, this attitude made Chu Yun feel very strange. In fact, Chu Yun paid a lot of attention to the five princes, of course, after Chu Shen's accident.
Before, it was only a general concern, so that it was necessary to temporarily place people around Zhao Zhi, and the difficulty coefficient increased a lot.
And in the past two months, he has been more concerned about Chu Yu, and he has neglected the monitoring of the five princes, and it is not until now that he has seen the five princes again, Chu Yun suddenly felt that he should not be so relaxed.
It's probably because the five princes are too low-key! Chu Yun couldn't tell where that strange feeling was.
Let's hold on to it!
Chu Yun arrived at Tongguan and began to live again, although it was said that killing an army was more important than killing an enemy, but Chu Yun did not rush to put on makeup and disguise to sneak into Yanmen Pass to investigate intelligence.
Now that Yanmen Pass has been blocked, the spies over there don't know if they can't get out, or if they have all been captured, in short, they have lost contact with the headquarters, and when this situation is unclear, Chu Yun naturally won't let himself take risks.
This is not because he is cowardly, but because he has become a relative, he has a concern on his body, and he has to be restrained a little, plus when he secretly investigated the Wang family's authentic before, Chu Yun learned a little lesson, and he didn't dare to wave anymore. Not to mention that he was still taking Wu Yun'er with him, if Chu Yun entered Yanmen Pass alone, Chu Yun felt that he had at least an eighty percent chance of being able to come back safely.
But if he brought Wu Yun'er with him, Chu Yun was not sure.
But he can't bypass Yun'er to do dangerous things, Wu Yun'er is usually very talkative, but he is particularly stubborn in this regard, Chu Yun knows that he can't convince her, so he won't do useless work.
The weather in the north is very cold, and now it is the middle of winter, Wu Yun'er came here, she was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, and she didn't have much energy all day, so Chu Yun spent more time with her.
Fortunately, Chu Yun did not have a boss to control the top of his head, otherwise he knew that Chu Yun was only concerned about romance and love at this time, and the enemy did not pay attention to it at present, and it was estimated that Chu Yun would be removed directly.
In the blink of an eye, it has been seven days since Chu Yun arrived at Tongguan, and in these seven days, the Yan army did not organize another attack, and it seemed that Chu Yun's arrow broke his courage, and he did not dare to provoke again. Or maybe there's some kind of conspiracy brewing.
These are all questions that Chu Yun is considering, and there is another thing, that is, when the fifth prince received the holy decree, the words were still good, but time passed day by day, and he had no intention of packing up his things and returning to the capital.
Could it be that he was worried that the Yanmen Gate was broken and he had no face to return to the capital to report on his work? Chu Yun thought about it in his heart, but quickly denied this idea, what Xuande said in the letter made Chu Yun transform into an oracle, but he didn't mean to blame Zhao Zhi at all, this kind of thing, no matter how many people take the pot, it won't fall on Zhao Zhi's head.
So, this is not true. If Zhao Zhi is not afraid to go back, then he just doesn't want to leave?
So, what is there to be nostalgic about Tongguan?
If you talk about Yanmen Pass, you can also understand it, after all, the five princes have been operating in Yanmen Pass for nearly a year, and this kind of operation is naturally reluctant to say that it will be lost, and it must be left behind, but Zhao Zhi should have nothing in Tongguan.
Not to mention that Zhao Zhi will not be able to operate one city so quickly and spread to another city, just because this place has been taken over by Wu Jiye, it can be determined that there will be no way for Zhao Zhi to make a profit here.
So, what is the reason why Zhao Zhi delayed his return to Beijing and insisted on staying?
Chu Yun suddenly had a bold idea again.
He, a prophet, can see Zhao Zhi's name with his eye of insight, and he has been a red name since he first saw him, and this state means that he is hostile to Great Xia, but he may not be a thief. Chu Yun was only Zhao Zhi before, maybe because he was treated unfairly and stimulated in the palace, so he was bent on revenge on society, but now it seems that this may still be an iron wolf?
Chu Yun felt that his assumption might be a bit bold.
Although the fifth prince Zhao Zhi may not really be the fifth prince, the real fifth prince may be Chu Yun, but at present, without proof, Chu Yun does not dare to mess with this prince.
Therefore, Chu Yun had this guess, and it was not easy to casually mobilize the people of the Shadow Guard to investigate whether the Fifth Prince was a traitor. Investigate the members of the royal family, if you don't talk to Xuande, can you investigate? If you investigate secretly, there will always be a leak, and when Xuande knows about it, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat.
Talent may be important, but the son is definitely more important, Chu Yun understands the core values of this feudal era very well.
Therefore, before investigating Zhao Zhi, you have to write to Xuande, solicit opinions, and agree before you can start the investigation. This step consumes a lot of time. To transmit information at the fastest speed, it will take three days from Tongguan to the capital, and I don't know how many horses will be killed, and it will be another three days for the capital to come back.
Time waits for no one!
In ancient times, the disadvantages of complicated communication were too obvious, and Chu Yun was helpless, and Chu Yun speculated, assuming that his assumption was right, and it was a true proposition that the five princes had already surrendered to the enemy, then, empathy, if he still wanted to continue to hide his identity, then, he would not stay for more than ten days after receiving the holy decree, this is too obvious.
Therefore, if he wants to do something, he will probably make arrangements in two or three days, and then leave.
Of course, assumptions can be wrong. Anyway, when there is no evidence to point to the truth, everything is speculation.
For now, Chu Yun was worried that he had misunderstood Zhao Zhi and that he was right, but he did not take timely measures, Chu Yun felt that at this time, in the customs clearance, probably only he would guess that Zhao Zhi might have become a traitor.
In that case, it's better to leave the investigation to yourself.
Chu Yun got serious, he was a spy by himself.
In addition, he also said hello to Wu Jiye, which was regarded as telling a white lie, saying that the Shadow Guard spy had a report, and the enemy would make a big move in the next two days, so he had to be careful to take precautions, just like that, Wu Jiye completely believed Chu Yun's words. The level of vigilance is one level higher.
As for the other shadow guards under Chu Yun's control, they listened to Chu Yun's appointment and secretly ambushed in the granary and the city gate, which were the easiest places to do things. Although Wu Jiye's army was already guarding, Chu Yun still arranged an extra layer of defense in order to be safe, and then he visited the fifth prince Zhao Zhi.
This visit can be said to be nothing to do, and the reason for Chu Yun's visit is: "I know that the fifth prince will return to the capital in the near future, and I have a letter from home requesting to be delivered on my behalf." ”
Who is the family letter for, of course, it is Wu Yun'er's. Worried that Zhao Zhi would check his letter, Chu Yun also deliberately wrote a letter to Wu Yun'er, as if Wu Yun'er was really staying at home, anyway, he didn't nominally take his wife with him on this trip.
As for whether the five princes will refuse......
In fact, this kind of thing is not easy to refuse, although the status of the five princes is high, but this is a personal society, as the saying goes, rely on parents at home, rely on friends when going out, in addition to the aspect of status, Chu Yun and Zhao Zhi are also fellow countrymen, fellow villagers naturally want to support each other outside, and it is also appropriate to help bring a letter. What's more, Chu Yun can come over with the token given by Xuande, and his identity is not low.
Reasonably, none of the five princes could refuse Chu Yun's request.
Therefore, Chu Yun's greeting post was responded to again and agreed to Chu Yun's door-to-door request. Chu Yun took the family letter that he had already read to Wu Yun'er, put it in an envelope, and stepped into the mansion of the fifth prince again.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Duan."
Chu Yun was still very polite, and Zhao Zhi was still very cold, beckoning Chu Yun to sit down and let his subordinates look at the tea, and then said to Chu Yun: "The letter can be given to this king, and after taking this king back to Beijing, he will definitely hand it over on his behalf." ”
Zhao Zhi looked at it urgently, Chu Yun took out the letter unhurriedly, stood up respectfully, and gave the letter to a maid beside him, who handed it to Zhao Zhi.
In any case, Chu Yun's etiquette was sufficient, and there was no fault for others to blame, but after sitting down, he asked again: "I wonder when His Highness will leave for the capital?" ”
"Why, when will this king leave, do you need to urge him?"
Zhao Zhi glanced at Chu Yun coldly, he had the temperament of a domineering and cold-faced prince, Chu Yun politely apologized and admitted his mistake, and the balance in his heart was more inclined to Zhao Zhi to be a traitor.
Zhao Zhi's seemingly indifferent answer actually revealed that he didn't want to return to the capital for the time being, otherwise, there was no need to do so. And that's a minus.
After Chu Yun apologized, Zhao Zhi didn't relent, he actually couldn't do anything with Chu Yun, at most he said a few fierce words, but Chu Yun smiled and didn't look like you, Zhao Zhi felt that no matter how indifferent he was, it didn't mean anything. Then he said coldly: "The king has accepted it, if you have nothing to do, the king will rest." ”
Saying that, Zhao Zhi also picked up the tea, and the meaning of serving tea to the guests was there, and the words were direct enough, which can be said to be very faceless. Chu Yun is not annoyed, you can be skinned, if people insult me, bully me, slander me in various ways anyway, what should I do?
Of course, it's all back in secret!
was served tea to the guests, but Chu Yun still sat on the chair unyieldingly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I really want to ask His Royal Highness King Duan for help." ”
Zhao Zhi: "......"
actually climbed up the pole, and he was just polite......
probably didn't expect Chu Yun's face to be so thick, and for a while, Zhao Gou was also a little distracted, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I bought some local products here in Tongguan, I don't know when I will be able to return, so I want to ask His Royal Highness Duanwang to bring it, because there are too many items, I didn't bring it today, if His Highness doesn't give up, I'll send it over tomorrow."
Zhao Zhi: "......"
I don't know why, the mentality is a bit broken. In other words, if a prince is regarded as a courier, only Chu Yun has this kind of operation, and others probably can't learn it.
"If there's anything else, you can tell me about it!"
Zhao Zhi was really annoyed by Chu Yun, but he had also grown a lot, although his personality was still so indifferent, but at least he knew how to maintain some basic communication etiquette.
If Chu Yun saw Zhao Zhi a year ago, it is estimated that he would be driven out directly.
Hearing Zhao Zhi's words, Chu Yun knew that Zhao Zhi's patience was probably close to the limit, so Chu Yun didn't plan to tease Zhao Zhi. He laughed twice and said, "There is nothing else, thank you, Your Highness." Then I'm leaving! ”
Chu Yun arched his hand as he spoke, and said goodbye to Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi didn't hold back at all, Chu Yun left the living room and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
The woman was about thirty or forty years old, wearing the clothes of a subordinate, but it could be seen that she should be a high-level subordinate, maybe a steward in the mansion or something, but at a glance, Chu Yun could clearly see that this person was seven points similar to the Wang family.
Chu Yun, who almost thought he had seen a ghost, rubbed his eyes, activated his insight technique, and suddenly saw a few blood-red words on the top of the woman's head: "Finely make the left eye." ”
Chu Yun: "......"
MMP, this time it's really hell......
It's a ghost to bump into Wang, but seeing that it's Zuomu Luosha, it must be a ghost, isn't this person supposed to have been dead for more than ten years?
Although it was a blue sky and a white day, Chu Yun felt a chill behind her, and the woman seemed to feel Chu Yun's gaze, raised her head, and showed a smile to Chu Yun.
It seemed bright, but Chu Yun felt extremely gloomy......
