Chapter 1222: Killing in the Night
Late at night, when all the streets of Chang'an City were curfew, the north gate of Xuanyangfang opened silently, and Wuhou nodded and welcomed the group in. The young man bowed slightly, and a retinue behind him took a few strings of money to reward, and these dozen people rode slowly along the cross street. In this silent night, although they had to violate the ban because they were delayed on official business, if they galloped and woke up the inhabitants of the village, it would naturally be very inappropriate. It was precisely because of the slowdown that a full quarter of an hour later they arrived at the door of their own aconite.
Even though it was late, one of the attendants only knocked lightly, and the door immediately slid open without a sound. The servant who answered the door welcomed the group in, and then closed the door. In the huge front yard, someone had already stepped forward to lead a horse, and after the young man got off the horse, he quickly stepped into the main gate. Before he could ask, the young servant who greeted him whispered a few words in his ear, and he was startled, and immediately quickened his pace and hurried to the dormitory. When he arrived in front of the dormitory, which was still lit up, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and after calling softly in front of the door, he got an answer from inside, and then pushed the door in.
Before his feet had crossed the threshold, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the middle. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, but now when he first saw him, he felt that he was so excited that after crossing the threshold, he didn't have time to cover the door, he ran forward in three steps and two steps, and knelt down in front of the other party.
"Auntie, you're finally back"
"What are you crying about, you are already a grandfather, fortunately Jinxi took the child to sleep, otherwise wouldn't you laugh at you?" Saying this, Wang Rong's eyes were red. She grabbed her young son in her arms, and then whispered, "Before, you and your brother and sister tried their best to let me follow your grandfather north, but you and your sister were left frightened in Chang'an City. Youlin, the most incompatible thing between me and your grandfather is your sister and brother, your sister was left in Chang'an at a young age and entered the Tao as a female crown, and you are too, you have to bear such a heavy responsibility at a young age. On the contrary, it is your brother, although he fights on the battlefield, he doesn't have to worry so much about the dark arrow behind him after all. ”
"Auntie, don't say that, my sister and I have never felt bitter, I just guarded Chang'an once without danger, and my brother fought in front, and it was all difficult and dangerous every time, much more difficult than us. Besides, Grandpa is not enjoying glory and wealth, and it has not been the same for so many years, and Grandpa has been frightened and frightened, and has suffered countless hardships. Du Youlin put his head on his mother's knees, and asked softly for a long time, "A-Niang came back this time, are you still leaving?" ”
"I also want to tell you that I will accompany your children and grandchildren, but although I am very sorry for your sisters and brothers, and I am sorry for Jinxi and the children, I have to say that I can't be sure yet. One day without taking his last breath, there is no result for a day. And even if His Majesty dies, it is inevitable that someone will ascend to the throne in the future, and your grandfather has already made great achievements this time, and the outcome in the future may be indispensable."
Facing his son, Wang Rong did not lie and pretend. Seeing that Du Youlin was not too surprised, as if she had expected such a situation, she returned to the truth: "I was going to wait in Yunzhou for your grandfather to recover Fan Yang, accompany my uncle and them more, and then rush back after a while, but there were some bad signs on Fan Yang's side, so I hurried back." I'm old, and it still took me more than half a month on the road, but fortunately, it shouldn't be easy for the rebel envoys to come all the way, even if I'm slower than them, it's not too slow. ”
The reunion of mother and son is of course joyful, but Du Youlin knows that now the Du family seems to be cooking oil and flowers, but in fact, there is still a hidden crisis around, so he immediately put away those personal feelings, wiped his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What news did A-Niang get from Fan Yang?" ”
"Since your uncle Du Wangzhi took over the position of the envoy in the clouds, your father has brought him a letter, so there have been many meticulous spies in Youzhou to send charcoal to Youzhou. A few days ago, he found out that Shi Siming's command sent a group of people to copy the trail into Hedong, thinking that these people were spreading something in Hedong, but they were rushing to Guanzhong, although they intercepted a few, but there should be fish that slipped through the net, so I came back immediately. Although it is unknown what the specific reason is, I guess that now Youzhou, that is, Fanyang, has fallen to the predicament of only a few counties left, and Shi Siming is difficult to resist the world even if he has great ability, but I am afraid that he has already surrendered. ”
"What"
Du Youlin's color changed suddenly, and he almost jumped up. Under his mother's reproachful gaze, he finally retracted a few words of scolding from his mouth, but said angrily: "An Lushan's rebellion swept Hebei, Henan and Dugi Province, and Guanzhong was even in turmoil. Not only that, but this year, many states and counties in the north will have no harvest because of the big war, and the casualties will be countless. If you can't solve the rebels once and for all, and let Shi Siming occupy Fan Yang, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers? ”
"In your eyes, Shi Siming is a tiger, but in the eyes of His Majesty in Xingqing Palace, your grandfather is a tiger, and now the generals with heavy troops in their hands are also tigers." Seeing that the young son, who had been smart and sensible since childhood, was dumbfounded, Wang Rong said lightly, "It's just my guess now, but this matter may be accurate." And to put it mildly, those princes and grandsons who are fighting for the throne are probably also happy to see this news. Of course, they hope that your grandfather can support them, but if he really ascends the throne one day, who can tolerate your grandfather's prestige with such a prestige? Keeping Shi Siming may be able to check and balance. ”
"Then what good ideas does A-Niang have?"
Wang Rong's face was pale, but his voice became extremely low: "The current plan is to immediately dig out these Fan Yang messengers and take advantage of the bitter hatred of the Chang'an army and people for the rebels, so that these messengers have no way to send the table down, and the matter will be over." Thinking that they were not sure of the ministers' thoughts on this matter, they would not rashly send the table to Menxia Province, but would try to send news to His Majesty. ”
"Okay, now I can speak in Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian Chang'an County, and the whole city will be closely monitored tomorrow."
When the mother and son of the Du family discussed strategies overnight, in the East Market at night, in the silent night, there were dozens of longing black shadows that were gathering from all directions in front of a store. After gesturing to each other to confirm, these people dispersed in their respective duties, some of them set up ladders for each other, and quickly climbed up the courtyard wall, while others quietly checked the movements of the adjacent shops, and when these were all arranged, a big man with a strong figure held a big axe with a hundred and ten pounds, rushed to the door, picked up the big axe and slashed towards the gate.
With a loud bang, the seemingly solid gate collapsed under this blow. And the great man with natural divine power ran out of strength, and then staggered back with a big axe, while the people behind rushed up and rushed into the store. In the dark night, there was a sudden movement like this, and the neighbors were all alarmed, but these people who were going to kill the people didn't seem to be worried about alarming people at this time, and shouted one by one: "On the order of Jingzhao Mansion, arrest the traitor"
With just the word traitor, those who intended to get out of bed to watch the movement were all silent, and hurriedly closed the door of their room. Some of the timid even struggled to drag all kinds of furniture, blocked all the doors and windows, and then prayed to God as if they were Buddhas to prevent those traitors from escaping to them.
As for the shop that was broken into, the reaction was much more intense, and many big men with steel knives poured out of the back room, seeing that the people in the front shop had rushed to the courtyard, more than ten people stood with knives, and there were more than ten archers guarding the walls on both sides, and they couldn't help but feel a commotion when they were cornered. Wei Ren gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted: "We are Fan Yang's messenger......"
Before he could finish the sentence, he heard a swishing sound of strings, and a sharp arrow pierced through the air and plunged into his chest. He looked in disbelief at the direction where the arrow was fired, and suddenly understood that the origin of this night attack was not to capture, but to extinguish the mouth, this string sound seemed to be a signal, the archers on the wall fired a volley, and most of the people who came out of the house fell for a while, although some people knew the opportunity to avoid this catastrophe and rushed forward to kill, but this small courtyard is not comparable to the battlefield, and it is impossible to move, and the more than ten opponents below are all skilled in martial arts and difficult to deal with.
When a great battle finally came to an end, the courtyard was littered with corpses. After mending the knife one by one, a middle-aged man took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the blood on the knife, and inwardly sighed and ordered: "Search." ”
In a simple word, his subordinates first searched the bodies of these people, and then entered the room to search. Just as the inner room was turned upside down, someone from outside entered. Under those torches lit at this moment in the courtyard, the faces of the people who came were clearly illuminated, who else was Jiang Du Jiang Shiro? He glanced at the corpses all over the ground as if nothing happened, and then asked succinctly, "All here?" ”
"Yes, after following these people separately and determining this hiding place, we saw this place as dead, no one entered or left, and no one had time to flee just now. Everyone here has a stab in their throats, and everyone is dead. Speaking of this, seeing Jiang Du's slight chin and seeming to be very satisfied, the leading man hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Jiaweng, why don't you report to Du Xiaolangjun, who commands the Flying Dragon Ride, or tell Pei Xiangguo, Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County?" In case we can't get tangible evidence, let's act like this tonight......"
"There are too many delays in going back and forth, in case they have concerns and move a little slower, God knows what will happen tomorrow?" Jiang Si smiled nonchalantly, stepped forward and kicked a corpse with his toes, and then said casually, "Hiding in Dongshi, carrying a sharp blade on his body, and just now he said the word Fan Yang himself, which is obviously not a good thing." Even if I can't find tangible evidence, I have already prepared a few pieces of the waist cards of the pseudo-Yan Dynasty Fan Yang Festival envoy. At this juncture, as long as I let the one in the palace not make any extraneous branches, I will let it go, and I will be happy to carry more black pots."
Tonight, Jiang Du dispatched all his own private soldiers, as for these bows and arrows, they were his private things when Chang'an was guarding the city
