Chapter 431: Surprise (I)

Although more than half a year has passed, everything in the capital has not changed much, and at night, the curfew is still enforced, except for the night patrol soldiers who pass by on time and on time, the traffic is busy during the day, and the streets and alleys full of pedestrians are empty, and not even a single figure can be seen.

Of course, tonight is still a little different, Yang Zhen, who was dressed in gray and black tight clothes, touched the black, and walked swiftly through the streets and alleys that he was familiar with, and from time to time through some corners and shadows to avoid the night patrol officers and soldiers who came by oncoming or oblique stabs.

Originally, he didn't plan to go out late at night, but after knowing that there were many people in Kyori who were already hostile to him, he decided to go this way in order to grasp the situation as soon as possible and for the sake of insurance.

After avoiding six teams of night patrol officers and soldiers in a row, Yang Zhen finally came to a small courtyard that was not very inconspicuous. He looked around again, and after being sure that there was no suspicion, he pressed his hand on the wall, and very lightly climbed over the courtyard wall more than one person high, and fell inside.

But at the moment of turning in, a cold light suddenly came from the side with a fierce sound of breaking the air. Fortunately, Yang Zhen had already taken precautions, lowered his head and chest when he landed, and jumped hard to the side, jumping right under the cold light, and then shouted in a low voice: "It's me!" ”

Hearing his greeting, the second knife that followed abruptly stopped, and only then did Yang Zhen have time to raise his eyes to look at the person holding the knife. After looking at it, there was a look of surprise in his eyes: "Hu Ge, is it you?" ”

It turned out that the person who attacked Yang Zhen with a knife was Hu Ge, although he was holding a knife at this moment, he had long lost the murderous aura he had just now, and his face was full of surprise: "Qianhu, you are back?" How offensive just now...... You're not hurt, are you? ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Boy, I can see that your martial arts have made a lot of progress, but you don't have to be arrogant enough to think that these few blows can hurt me, right?" ”

"Oh, hehe......" Hu Ge smiled a little embarrassedly, "Of course I can't hurt you." If it weren't for the fact that he only had one arm left now, he would have to scratch his head with the other hand that didn't hold a knife.

"Is it your sword technique that was pointed out to my brother?" Yang Zhen glanced at him and asked. He could see that the skills that Hugo had just shown were much more powerful than before.

"Yes, we came back all the way back with nothing to do, Master He felt that my foundation was not bad, although I broke an arm, I could still enter the realm, so he taught me this set of knife moves that take offense as defense and use the remnants of my body to exert greater lethality. After coming to the capital, I also practiced hard, and this is what I look like. Hugo said with some excitement. Indeed, he thought that he was afraid that he would become a waste person after breaking his arm, but he didn't expect that he would learn such a set of sharp knife techniques under the guidance of Xiang Ying, and he was naturally proud in his heart.

"You worshipped Xiang Ying as a teacher?" Yang Zhen asked a little strangely, and after getting a definite answer, he couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect to let you escort people back together, but it became a pair of masters and apprentices." By the way, what about others? ”

"I've seen my lord!" With his inquiry, Xiang Ying came to the two of them. Although there was no expression on his face as always, his eyes sparkled with joy in his heart.

"Brother Xiang, don't come to harm's way, I didn't expect that it has only been a few months, and you have accepted a good apprentice." Yang Zhen laughed, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder hard.

Xiang Ying smiled reluctantly, and then explained: "Originally, I only planned to teach him a set of sword techniques for self-defense, and I had no intention of accepting apprentices. But this kid is always pestering me, and I can't abandon it, so I can only agree. How's that, do you think his knife technique is okay? ”

"Although I have only seen two moves in this knife technique, the intention is very clear. It's just to attack with all your strength through the flaw of a broken arm, and completely give up this half of the defense, right? Although this knife technique is sharp, it is a bit risky after all, and if you meet a real master, I am afraid that you will suffer. Since everyone is their own person, Yang Zhen has nothing to shy away from, and directly pointed out the problem.

Xiang Ying was not angry when he heard this, but nodded and said, "Yes, this is the biggest problem with my sword technique." It's a pity that I can't think of a way to improve it for a while, so I can only do this first. ”

After a few people talked about martial arts, they turned back to the house. Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Seeing that you are so careful, there are people on guard at any time late at night, I think I don't need to ask this question, everything is safe, right?" ”

"Of course, no one else knows about us hiding here, so naturally there won't be any safety problems." Hugo hurriedly replied.

"That'...... Is that guy named Jiang Hao still honest? Yang Zhen showed a look of satisfaction, and then returned to the topic. Before, he asked Hu Ge and the others to bring people back to the capital as a follow-up hand, although now that his purpose in Datong has been fully achieved, this person may be of any use in the future.

Xiang Ying flashed his gaze to the wall on one side, and then nodded: "The person is locked up in the next room, except for a few times when I wanted to run out and broke my leg, everything is fine." ”

"That's good." Yang Zhen nodded: "You continue to look at him next, this person may still be of some use, I still want to use the power of those families in Shanxi to do something." This is the purpose of Yang Zhen's rush at this time, since someone wants to deal with him, then he has to think of a way to deal with it, and passive defense has never been his style, taking the initiative is.

But at the same time, Yang Zhen also knew very well that once he fell under the attention of some big people, what he was going to do next would probably not be as secret and free as before, so he came to greet Hu Ge and them before everything started tonight, and confirmed the chips in his hand.

"Your Excellency, but you want to use their power to deal with Feng Bao?" Xiang Ying asked suddenly.

"Huh? How would you know? Yang Zhen asked with a little surprise. Although Xiang Ying is quite reliable, he hasn't told him his true intentions in detail before, how can he understand his thoughts when he is in the capital?

Seeing Yang Zhen ask this, he looked surprised again, and Hu Ge's face was also tight: "Wasn't this incident instructed by you, my lord?" ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Zhen didn't feel nervous in his heart, and quickly asked.

"Just a few years ago, when we just returned to the capital, it was rumored in the capital that Gonggong Feng of the dynasty was attacked by many officials. Because it was a strange thing, I secretly investigated. Xiang Ying's expression also became solemn: "After some secret investigation, I learned that these guys were instructed by those big families in Shanxi to do this." Because you said before that you would use the chips in your hand to fight those families, I thought that all this was instructed by you behind your back. But now it seems that things are not so simple. ”

Yang Zhen was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect such a big incident to happen in Beijing in this short period of time. But after being shocked, he vaguely guessed something, and a sneer appeared on his face: "What a good method." These families seem to want to be my enemy, so they have found me a good opponent. They want to use Feng Bao's momentum to deal with me! ”

"How bold are they? Aren't you afraid that your lord will hand over Jiang Hao and put them to death? Hugo suddenly said angrily.

"They're really not that scared. Because the matter in Shanxi has come to an end, if I hand over people at this time, even I will have a lot of trouble, plus Feng Bao is staring at it, this will only kill myself. I also blame me, I felt that I had this hole card in my hand, so I didn't take those families too seriously, and I kept offending them, so that they did such a counterattack. In the future, it would be better to be a little more restrained. Yang Zhen said with a bitter smile.

Now, he finally understood why Tan Lun came to warn him as soon as he came back, this incident offended Feng Bao badly, and the next days will indeed be very difficult.

But even so, Yang Zhen would not be afraid of Feng Bao. In order to achieve that ultimate goal, Feng Bao has always been the enemy he wanted to eradicate earlier, and at most now he has only made the contradictions between the two public. After all, he is not a person from Dongchang, and no matter how long his hands are, he can't do anything to himself, just like Tang Feng before.

But as soon as his thoughts came together, Hu Ge's next words shocked him greatly: "My lord, there is another matter, I don't know if you have received the news......

"Huh? If you have anything to say, just say it. Yang Zhen saw that he looked like he was struggling and spitting, and he wanted to stop talking, and his heart suddenly tightened. He clearly felt that this matter was worse than the previous incident of a possible open break with Feng Bao.

Seeing him like this, Hugo knew that he didn't know about it. Come to think of it, this is just an internal matter of Jinyiwei, that is, ordinary people in the capital may not understand, let alone Yang Zhen in Datong. After a little muttering, he still planned to tell the truth: "My lord, at the end of October and November, something happened inside the Jinyi Guard, and he was imprisoned in the edict prison for the execution of Tang Feng Tang, and soon after, he was rumored to have died in prison!" ”

"What did you say?" Even though Yang Zhen already had a bad feeling, after hearing his words, he still couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Hu Ge fixedly: "Say it again!" ”

Hu Ge was frightened by his sharp gaze, and he unconsciously shuddered in his heart, but he still said again: "A few months ago, Tang Qianhu was imprisoned for his crimes, and finally died in the edict prison. The subordinates also found out the news after they came back. ”
