Chapter 839: The Pigeon House
Yusuo Lake.
Huang Tianyi watched his brother lead thousands of elite soldiers ashore, and saw with his own eyes that the Huang family army and the ghost warriors joined forces and marched south, and everything went more smoothly than he imagined in advance.
After the warship transported Huang Jiajun to the shore, the boatman immediately turned the bow of the boat and returned to the side of Liyu Island, although Huang Tianyi looked fat and big-eared, but he was left behind by An Guogong to guard Anyi, naturally he was not stupid, of course those transport ships could not continue to stay on the shore, in case the officers and soldiers suddenly came out to seize the ship, the consequences were unimaginable, although this is unlikely, but it had to be prevented.
Hundreds of boats of all sizes gathered on the east side of Liyu Island, with their masts rising to the sky, and the lights on the island were reflected like spears rising to the sky.
Huang Tianyi knew that the plan had been fully launched, and he did not delay at all, seeing that Huang Zhigui led his men and horses to kill Taiyuan City, he got off the watchtower and returned to the annex on the island, and then went to the study of the courtyard, and closed the door.
But only a moment later, Huang Tianyi sent a subordinate, although this person looked short, but he looked very smart, he saw Huang Tianyi in the study, Huang Tianyi had already raised his head and asked: "At the other end of your pigeon room, what letters have been sent from those families?" ”
The man immediately said: "Back to the old man, after the letter came the day before yesterday, there is no letter from several families at present. ”
Huang Tianyi nodded and said: "There are four secret letters here, you can let the carrier pigeon take it out now, and use the best pigeon in the carrier pigeon room." Over the years, I have invested a lot of money in the carrier pigeon room, and this time it is a matter of the overall situation, so don't make any mistakes! ”
The man said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, you have instructed that the five best pigeons cannot be used easily unless they are absolutely necessary, can they be used this time?" ”
"Just those pigeons." Huang Tianyi nodded and said, "I'm just afraid that they have been waiting for a long time." Stretching out his hand, four small bamboo tubes appeared in front of the servant, and the servant stepped forward, carefully took it, and said respectfully: "Big man, the small one will release the carrier pigeon!" ”
When the pigeon tamer retreated, Huang Tianyi walked to the door, looked up at the black hole in the sky, but his face was full of spirit, and muttered to himself: "Tianmen Dao wants to rob Taiyuan City with Lao Tzu, how can Lao Tzu let them succeed?" The Huang family has been in Anyi for many years, and the friends are like clouds, although there are few people at both ends of the snake and mouse, but the interests of some families are closely related to my Huang family. He looked a little proud, touching his white and chubby chin, "The four people came out together, and there were thousands of people in total, but Lao Tzu wanted to see how Tianmen Dao fought with Lao Tzu." ”
The pigeon servant came out of the heavily guarded courtyard, and in the dark night, he quickly came to a house not far from the south of the courtyard, where there was only a simple courtyard, but it was Huang Tianyi's information heart.
The Huang family retreated to Yusuo Lake, of course, it was impossible to become blind and deaf.
As early as many years ago, Huang Ju, the Duke of Anguo, ordered Huang Tianyi to build an intelligence network based on carrier pigeons in Anyi, for which the Huang family invested a lot of money.
Not all pigeons can be trained into carrier pigeons, must choose the best breed, undergo extremely careful and rigorous training, often cultivate a carrier pigeon, it takes a lot of energy and money, and generally, a carrier pigeon is often only responsible for a message channel, two points to figure out, at least to ensure that there is at least one carrier pigeon on both sides, and this also carries a great risk, sometimes the carrier pigeon on the way has an accident, a message channel is broken, so for the sake of safety, a message channel, It often costs four carrier pigeons.
The Huang family regards themselves as the emperor of Anyi, and naturally has contact points in various provinces of Anyi, and the most important contact point of the pigeon house is the channel to contact the Jingshi.
After the Tongtian Temple incident, because of Beijing's purge of An Guogong's party, two of the contact points with the three carrier pigeons in Beijing have been broken, and only one remains.
The pigeon house on Liyu Island was not established after Huang Tianyi's retreat, but as early as many years ago, the pigeon room had been cultivated on the side of Yusuo Lake, and when the Huang family was in trouble, the pigeon room became the eyes and ears of the Huang family to the outside world, and it was all relied on the pigeon room to obtain news from the outside world and contact with the party feathers outside the Yusuo Lake.
There are a total of four people in the pigeon room, the number is not much, but each of them is a first-class master of domesticating carrier pigeons, and the domestic servant summoned by Huang Tianyi is called Chen Ge, which is not because his real name is so, but later changed his name.
Chen Ge is the head of the pigeon house, when the father received the favor of the Huang family, so the Huang family is grateful, in Yusuo Lake, there are three types of people, the first type is the Huang family bought by the doorman, the second type is the Huang family's house slaves, the third category, is Chen Ge who has received the favor of the Huang family, willing to take the initiative to serve the Huang family's descendants.
When it comes to loyalty, the third type of people is naturally the highest, so the Huang family attaches great importance to this kind of people, and can hand over the most confidential task of the pigeon room to Chen Ge, which can also be seen Huang Tianyi's trust in Chen Ge, the so-called Shi is a confidant who dies, and gets Huang Tianyi's trust and respect, Chen Ge is grateful for his kindness, so he showed his strengths, and did his best for Huang Tianyi, when the Huang family retreated to Yusuo Lake, he ran a lot of doormen and house slaves, and Chen Ge chose to share the hardships with the Huang family.
The pigeon room sounds the "cooing" of pigeons from time to time, the area of Liyu Island is not small, and there are many buildings on the island, if the courtyard where Huang Tianyi lives is heavily guarded is a forbidden area, then the pigeon room is also forbidden to be approached by idle people.
Chen Ge returned to the pigeon room, saw that it was dark all around, frowned, it seems that the few people under his command have fallen asleep, and even the lights went out in time to ignite, and his heart was a little angry, but the big thing is in his body, he also doesn't care about it for the time being, and goes back to his house, there are five carrier pigeons he personally trained, the breed is first-class, and extremely keen, these five carrier pigeons not only have strong endurance, but also the degree of flight, compared to other carrier pigeons, including Huang Tianyi are reluctant to use easily, tonight's situation is urgent, Only then did Chen Ge order it to be activated.
Chen Ge entered the house, first lit the lamp, and was about to take the lamp to the pigeon house in the inner room, suddenly felt that something was wrong, when the lights were on, he actually saw a person on the other side of the table, and there was a person, who was sitting on the edge of the table, wearing a hat, and the hat hung low, looking very eerie.
"Are you...... Who are you? Chen Ge's expression changed, and there was suddenly an extra person in the room, and it was obviously not his subordinate, how could he not be surprised.
Huang Tianyi gave an order that the idle people in the carrier pigeon room should not approach, let alone enter the house.
The man raised his right hand, took off the hat on his head, revealing a face full of green beards, his hair was scattered, Chen Ge frowned, looked at this person's appearance and did not know, only to see that this person was wearing a single eye patch, obviously blind in one eye, under the light, it looked very weird, it didn't look good, but the remaining eye was very sharp, what surprised Chen Ge even more was that this person's loose hair was a little damp, it seemed that he had just washed his hair, and after a closer look, Huo Ran found it, This person's clothes seemed to be wet, seeing such a person, Chen Ge's heart was shocked, if it weren't for the person's eyes were still very vivid, Chen Ge would almost mistakenly think that this was a water ghost.
"You're the one in charge here?" The one-eyed man got straight to the point and said: "Ask you a few questions, as long as you answer honestly, everything will be fine, otherwise it will be ......!" ”
Chen Ge is not a scumbag, since the other party dares to come in, he must be prepared, stabilize his mind at the moment, and sneered: "Otherwise? ”
The one-eyed man didn't speak, just clapped his hands gently, but saw a person slowly walking out of the darkness, the person was dressed in black and black pants, and his clothes were also wet, but his left hand was carrying a bird cage, Chen Ge saw the bird cage, his heart sank, and the cage was one of the five carrier pigeons he raised.
The man in black placed the cage on the ground, and the blade was aimed at the birdcage, as if it was about to slash down at any moment.
"The pigeon is dead, you are dead!" The one-eyed man said lightly.
Chen Ge hadn't reacted yet, he only felt a cold neck, and there was an extra person behind him, who was holding a dagger, and the dagger was across Chen Ge's throat at this time, as long as he pulled it gently, Chen Ge's throat would inevitably be cut.
"Who the hell are you?" Chen Ge didn't show fear on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
The one-eyed man didn't answer the rhetorical question: "Huang Tianyi is outside the Yusuo Lake, of course, there is still contact, since he dares to rebel, of course it is impossible to have only one force in the Yusuo Lake." You are in charge of carrier pigeon messaging, and of course you know who Huang Tianyi is in contact with! ”
"The messages exchanged are all secret letters, and my little pigeon tamer, of course, is not qualified to open secret letters." Chen Ge said calmly: "You can't ask anything useful at all when you are here, it's just in vain, I advise you not to waste your efforts." ”
"It's a man!" The one-eyed man stood up, his right hand behind his back, and Chen Ge realized at this time that this man was not only blind in one eye, but also had his left arm crippled, and he was a blind one-armed man.
The one-eyed man slowly walked up to Chen Ge, and the face that looked a little scary approached Chen Ge's face, and said in a low voice: "I don't want you to tell me the content, you come and tell me, who has Huang Tianyi exchanged the most letters with recently?" You don't know the contents of the letters, but you certainly know where these pigeons come from and where they're going! ”
"I don't know!" Chen Ge said coldly.
The one-eyed man's eye crossed with admiration, but he soon said in a deep voice, "Search him!" ”
"You dare!"
"We're not even afraid to land on the island, but we're afraid of body searches?" The one-eyed man chuckled in a low voice: "Huang Tianyi is in trouble, I can assure you that by the time dawn, he is already a prisoner under the stairs...... I see that you are a man, and you have the ability to train pigeons, so why bother to bury that kind of person! ”
The person behind Chen Ge had already reached out and searched into Chen Ge's arms, Chen Ge's face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You ......! Before he finished speaking, the one-eyed man had already glanced at his companion, and the man behind Chen Ge didn't say a word, but took the left hand holding the dagger, turned the dagger, and the handle of the dagger hit Chen Ge the back of his head, Chen Ge suddenly only felt dizzy, and the one-eyed man in front of him was blurred.
