There was a faint feeling in the gauze tent, and this hazy feeling made Yang Zhaoji a little apprehensive.

This is the first time he has connected with someone, and he does not have the curiosity that only a young man can have, but he knows very well the consequences of a joint going wrong.

Fortunately, the woman's answer soon came from the gauze tent: "Da Ming gave me a silk brocade robe, but I wore it to walk in the night." ”

Yang Zhaoji sighed. Jin Yi traveled at night, and it was thanks to his friend who came up with such a joint code. But it's also easy to understand.,It's the brocade guard who acts at night.。

"Sir came here to see Phoenix, I don't know why?"

Phoenix's voice was flat as usual, and it seemed that Yang Zhaoji was not an important person, even if his mission was to provide intelligence support to Yang Zhaoji.

"Yang returned to his hometown this time, what happened, the girl should know."

"Sir shouldn't have asked that. Since I can answer the code, I naturally know the mission of the gentleman. ”

Yang Zhaoji's face flushed. He didn't have much time, after all, Zhang Zhizhou might come over soon, but he said a nonsense here.

"Then Yang will get straight to the point."

Phoenix frowned slightly and asked, "What about the mountain?" ”

Yang Zhaoji really wanted to slap himself, and said nonsense again.

"Well, within two days, Yang was assassinated twice. The first attempt was made to disguise it as a robbery, and the second time it was carried out directly in broad daylight without impunity. ”

Phoenix stood up and paced back and forth two steps. Yang Zhaoji thought she was thinking, after all, this situation can be described as very serious. The executor of the mission arranged by Jinyiwei No. 2 was assassinated twice as soon as he arrived at the mission site. How could this not make Phoenix, who is a brocade guard, feel tense about the situation.

But the reality was very different from what he imagined.

After pacing two steps, the Phoenix girl turned around sharply and asked, "That's all?" ”

"Ahh Yang Zhaoji exhaled softly, "Isn't this serious enough?" My mission is classified, and only a few of the Brocade Guards know about it. Now that I have been assassinated, it means that someone has known about our actions, so you may have an inner ghost. ”

"Inner ghost?" The Phoenix girl seemed to have heard a big joke, "Sir, you don't really think that our Jinyi Guard only has the function of a guard of honor, right?" ”

Yang Zhaoji was a little angry: "When the girl said this, is she preparing to protect your colleagues?" If that's the case, then Yang should go directly to the capital and look for ......"

"No need." The Phoenix girl interrupted him and said, "Don't you know that he has always disliked the capital? If you go to the capital to find him, it is better to walk around this small state city. ”

"Anyway, you can't leave the ghost alone." As soon as Yang Zhaoji's temper came up, his anger was not small.

"Actually, there's no guilt." Phoenix said, "If the few people who know about this need to get rid of you, they can do it neatly and undetected, and they don't have to borrow a knife to kill people at all." If you have such a capable, your enemies, the few White Lotus cultists, what can you afford to buy them? ”

Yang Zhaoji thought about it, but he still refused to let go of his doubts, so he said: "What does the girl mean, could it be that the demon of the White Lotus Sect really knows what kind of magic of the unknown prophet?" ”

"Prophet of the Unknown?" The phoenix girl smiled, and the flowers and branches of the smile trembled, "If he Wang Sen had the ability to predict the future, he would not have been arrested back then." ”

Yang Zhaoji was unconvinced: "Didn't he run away later?" ”

"Yes, let it go." The Phoenix girl said, "Now is the time to really close the net." What did you just say about the unpredictable prophet, I can tell you, not relying on the uncertain prophet, this girl also knows, it will not be long before there will be rumors that there are our people in the White Lotus Sect, and with his help, we almost caught Wang Sen. When the time comes, Wang Sen will suspect someone Xu. And your main enemy is him. ”

Speaking of this Xu someone, his name is Xu Yu, who was originally an idle guy in Juye County, but he happened to become Wang Sen's disciple, and then became the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the southwest of Lu.

The White Lotus Sect has many followers and spreads widely. However, the poor transmission of information in ancient times, coupled with the frequent raids and arrests by the government, made the leaders of many regional organizations conditionally free from the control of the chief sect leader.

Xu Yu was one of them, he not only renamed himself Xu Hongru, but also thought that the White Lotus Sect was too famous, changed its name to Wenxiang Sect, and continued to recruit believers in the southwest of Lu.

After Wang Sen was arrested for the first time, this guy immediately showed the idea of establishing his own court, and in order to curb the trend of its expansion, Jinyiwei decided to order the local government to deliberately expose the flaws and let Wang Sen escape. Sure enough, after successfully escaping from prison, Wang Sen began to curb Xu Hongru after returning to power.

But at that time, Xu Hongru had become a climate, and if Wang Sen openly tore his face with him, it would be a tragic internal conflict. Therefore, he can't interfere much in Xu Hongru's affairs, at most, he is dragging his feet......

Jin Yiwei's move can only be regarded as a delaying tactic.

Fortunately, time is the most scarce resource for Jinyiwei, who has an advantage in manpower and material resources. After having enough time, Jinyiwei's men began to lurk in the land of Qilu.

And now, the time he has won has run out, and Xu Hongru's movements are getting bigger and bigger. In addition to secret societies, he also infiltrated into the commercial fields of private salt, medicinal herbs, silk, etc., and began to make friends with civil and military generals in the officialdom, and at the same time paid great attention to recruiting skilled craftsmen.

The most serious thing is that he has infiltrated the local inspection department and secretly controlled an untold number of armed forces.

These circumstances forced Jin Yiwei to strike again and continue to instigate the relationship between him and Wang Sen. At the same time, the plan to eradicate this cancer, that is, the plan that Yang Zhaoji is in charge of, has also begun to prepare.

Yang Zhaoji understands all these situations. When he accepted the assignment, the friend made it clear.

It's just that he always thought that it was the sect leader Wang Sen who he was going to deal with, and at this moment he learned that the real opponent was Xu Hongru.

"Xu Hongru, is it even more difficult to deal with than Wang Sen?"

"Almost killed you twice, what do you say?" The Phoenix girl's fierce words startled Yang Zhaoji.

"It's him!"

"That's right, it's him. When my men reported it to me, they knew that he was doing it. Sun Cannon, Guo's Sanxiong, and Hu San Mazi are all his pawns. ”

Yang Zhaoji sighed in his heart: Good guy, a few pawns almost killed Lao Tzu, isn't that the main one even more powerful?

But the initial question immediately made him suspicious.

"That's not right. Wang Sen didn't have the ability to know about our plan, how did he know? ”

"Finally got a question I should answer."

Yang Zhaoji blushed again, and it was really not a sentence or two to dare to love his nonsense.

But the Phoenix girl did not answer his question directly, but started with the changes in Jinyiwei a year ago.

"Do you know that last year, His Majesty reformed our Jinyi Guard, so that in addition to the fourteen thousand households, we also had a lot more departments?"

Yang Zhaoji had heard of this, but the reason made him quite disdainful as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

"I heard that the emperor listened to the advice of a Taoist priest to change the Jinyi Guard?"

"That's right, the courtiers have no right to say anything about the affairs of Jinyiwei, and Luo Sigong is a courtier, and your friend is a bigger courtier. So, there was no opposition to the whole thing. ”

Yang Zhaoji didn't expect that the No. 1 and No. 2 people in Jinyiwei were labeled as ministers in the mouth of this girl.

"Behind the criticism of the boss, the girl is commendable. Hahaha......"

The phoenix girl waved her hand and said, "I didn't criticize my boss, they said it themselves." Your friend also added that what he did as a courtier was unprecedented and unprecedented. ”

As soon as Yang Zhaoji heard this, he knew that there must be something strange in it, but that guy had always been very mysterious, and he didn't want to ask too much. So I continued to listen to the Phoenix Girl's explanation, why Xu Hongru's power is related to the Jinyiwei reform.

"As one of the Nine-Sided General Soldiers, you should be able to see the news about the Fucha Bureau and the Qiongya Division."

Yang Zhaoji stood up suddenly. Both departments were established last New Year. The Qiongya Division is in charge of overseas intelligence gathering and has a little-known armed force. And this force, there is another department that can be called, and that is the Fucha Bureau.

And the husband is a special arrest......

"Ahh Yang Zhaoji's jaw was about to dislocate in surprise. This made his "ah" word particularly harsh and ugly when he shouted it.

But the phoenix girl laughed again as if she had heard the sound of heaven, but the topic was a little heavy, and it didn't make her tremble.

"The real duties of the Husband Bureau, the entire Da Ming knows no more than twenty people. Half of them are locked up in that cage in the capital. And the other half of the cage is not as good as the capital. You are relatively lucky, with this secret, you left Datong alive. ”

Yang Zhaoji didn't hear the Phoenix girl's ridicule, but asked in surprise: "Xu Hongru is one of them." ”

The phoenix girl's face turned blue and replied, "Yes." It's verified. ”

"The Bad ...... of Naf"

"Xu Hongru is special, too many pairs of eyes are staring at him. If the husband does it, he may expose himself, which will be detrimental to future actions. So, only we can come. After a pause, the Phoenix girl asked again: "Now you know, why Xu Hongru?" ”

"I see. If he's that kind of person, it's not an exaggeration to know anything. Yang Zhaoji suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, "Since our plan has been discovered by him, choosing to assassinate me is also the proper meaning of the question." ”

"It's not necessarily about knowing the plan. Your friend said that you are destined enemies, and that you are destined to kill each other. Sooner or later, one of them will die at the hands of the other. It's just that you don't know this, that's why you think that there are internal demons among us. And he already knew it, so he shot cleanly, and then, it depends on how you take it. ”

Yang Zhaoji muttered: "Such an opponent is too terrifying. ”

The phoenix girl sneered: "It's just a little trick to assassinate, so you're scared?" You can't stand the hors d'oeuvres, and the main dishes can't kill you? ”
