Chapter 37: Spy War 2
The exiled prince of Goguryeo, Gao Shi'an, recently came to Fanyang and learned that his sister Gao'er (Han name Yan Susu) had been assassinated, so he left Jin Zemei, a master of the guards, to protect Gao'er. Jin Zemei is one of the few masters of the Goguryeo exiled dynasty, and one of the five masters of Gaojiao'er, with very high martial arts, since Jin Facun slipped out of the brothel, Jin Zemei has been following Jin Facun, hiding on the roof far away to exert extraordinary hearing, listening to the conversation between Jin Facun and Mei Yong clearly without being discovered, and then returning to the elite martial arts hall to report to Gaojiaoer.
The next night, that is, the night when Xu Qing expelled the poison for Concubine Zhen, after nightfall, Yan Susu came to the Longmen Dart Bureau and said to Xu Qing mysteriously: "There is a good show tonight, I will take you to see it." After speaking, he couldn't wait to drag Xu Qing's hand out of the door. Yan Susu said as he walked: "I got the news that Kim Facun, the special envoy of the King of Silla, asked Mei Yong to meet at the 'ghost house' in Ping'an Lane, and the time is tonight. ”
Xu Qing was shocked when he heard the words "Special Envoy of the King of Silla", and secretly thought, "Could it be that the Mei family is really a Silla spy?" He asked, "Why do you care so much about the Mei family?" ”
"It's not because of you," Yan Susu was stunned and hurriedly prevaricated, "Mei Kaifang used you to attack the Fang Gang, deceiving your feelings, and wanted to murder you!" She's your enemy and my enemy, so that's why I'm investigating her. ”
Xu Qingdao: "You have investigated the origin of the Mei family so clearly, you are definitely not an ordinary person!" If you are still a friend to me, tell me everything you have hidden from me. ”
Yan Susu pretended to be stupid with innocent eyes and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about!" I've given you everything, and of course I won't hide anything from you, so why don't you believe me? ”
Yan Susu's words couldn't find any flaws, Xu Qing felt that he was too sensitive, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, Susu, it's me who is too careful." Because I was deceived by Mei Kaifang, I don't want to be deceived again, that's why I'm so sensitive. ”
"I don't blame you." Yan Susu is tolerant and authentic. Xu Qing took Yan Susu's slender hand, unfolded his body, and galloped towards the "ghost house" in Ping'an Lane.
The Haunted Mansion is an abandoned mansion that was rumored to be haunted because all three owners died unexpectedly, so that no one dared to live in it, and it was gradually abandoned. In the haunted house, the artemisia grass is shoulder high, snakes and rats are popular, and crows build nests among the branches of the trees in the courtyard.
Xu Qing and Yan Susu flew up to the eaves, bowed down, and waited for the arrival of Jin Facun and Mei Yong. After waiting for a while, the sound of the night walker's clothes breaking through the air sounded, Xu Qing looked up, and the person who came was a masked man in black. He is Jin Facun. Jin Fa stood at the stone table on the side of the stone-paved path, quietly waiting for Mei Yong to come to the appointment. Soon Mei Yong also came. Mei Yong bowed to Jin Facun and said, "I'm late, please forgive me." ”
Jin Facun took off his veil and said, "You're welcome. I asked you to meet and have something to ask you. "You and I are commensurate with the needs of intelligence work, so as not to inadvertently reveal your name and position and be overheard.
Mei Yong said: "Please speak." ”
Jin Facun said: "I want to know what good plan you have for the unification of Fanyang Martial Arts?" ”
Mei Yong said: "That's what I've been thinking about all these years, if it weren't for a Xu Qing jumping out of the middle of the road and disrupting my deployment, I could unify Fanyang Wulin at any time." ”
Jin Facun said: "How are you going to deal with Xu Qing?" ”
Mei Yong said in a cold sweat: "It's me who is incompetent, my daughter has true feelings for Xu Qing's kid, disobeyed my orders, and didn't poison him." ”
Jin Facun said: "Then you can't do anything about him?" ”
Mei Yong smiled proudly and said, "I have forged a secret letter written by the Western Turkic Khan to Xu Qing, as long as my sister gives this secret letter to Li Yong, Xu Qing will be convicted of being a Western Turkic spy." ”
Jin Facun said: "You did a good job. ”
Mei Yong said: "We are at the time of employing people, Xu Qing is a rare talent, I originally wanted to accept him and let him work for us." But the boy didn't eat hard and soft, and it was too difficult to subdue him. ”
Jin Facun said: "I heard that after your daughter married Xu Qing, Xu Qing only got along with your daughter for a few days, and then snubbed your daughter and had a hot fight with Yan Susu, a beautiful woman who is famous in Fan Yang......?" ”
Mei Yong said hatefully: "That kid's good days are coming to an end!" ”
Jin Facun said: "I will return to China as soon as the birthday banquet of 'Concubine Zhen' is over, I will not come to you again, you should think carefully about what I told you, plan and then act, don't startle the snake, and be discovered by the Tang people Our plan." I heard that Xu Qing has a good relationship with the 'Closed Moon County Lord', and also saved the life of your sister "Concubine Zhen", your sister may not cooperate with you to frame that kid. I don't think you'd better look for your sister, you personally hand over the secret letter to King Yan. ”
Mei Yong said: "What you said makes sense, I will do what you tell me." If nothing else, let's talk about it here, shall we? ”
"Okay." Jin Facun nodded, and Mei Yong returned to their residences.
Just now, in the boring waiting, Yan Susu whispered the conversation between Jin Facun and Mei Yong that Jin Zemei overheard last night to Xu Qing, Xu Qing still didn't believe that the little Silla was trying to annex the Tang Dynasty, and heard the conversation between Jin Facun and Mei Yong with his own ears, and determined that Silla had a shocking plan for the Tang Dynasty, and the Mei family's unification of Fanyang Wulin was only a part of this earth-shattering plan, so he believed that Silla's ambition was true.
Xu Qing was a little surprised, and decided to wait until he was done with Chang'an's affairs and formulate a plan to eliminate Silla as soon as possible.
Goguryeo was jointly wiped out by Silla and the Tang Dynasty, and the power of the Goguryeo exiled dynasty was too weak to retaliate against the Tang Dynasty, so it took revenge on Silla, hoping to provoke a war between the Tang Dynasty and Silla and destroy Silla with the help of the Tang Dynasty. Yan Susu and Xu Qing already have a skin-to-skin relationship, which is no less than entrusting her life to Xu Qing in ancient times, she will not harm Xu Qing, but Xu Qing is a Tang person, and she should not be able to tolerate Silla's encroachment on Goguryeo, Baekje, and Liaodong and Fanyang, which have always belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and then Xu Tu's shocking plan in the Central Plains, she uses Xu Qing to deal with Silla, which is beneficial and harmless to Xu Qing, and it is also beneficial and harmless to herself. made Xu Qing not feel that he was being used at all, but felt that she was helping him.
However, Xu Qing was shocked that Yan Susu's intelligence ability was so powerful, and he firmly believed that there was a mysterious force behind Yan Susu, although at present, from various signs, Yan Susu only had love for Xu Qing and no malicious intentions, but the possibility of dramatic changes could not be completely ruled out. For more than a year since he traveled through Datang, Xu Qing has always existed as a strong man and has the ability to completely control the situation, but Xu Qing is not clear about Yan Susu's true identity and feels that he can't control Yan Susu, Xu Qing doesn't like this feeling. If it is said that exploring the unknown and meeting challenges makes life more interesting, then Xu Qing likes to solve unknown mysteries, likes to overcome challenges one by one, and then meets new unknowns and new challenges, such a life will definitely last for a long time, until life will hone his wisdom and wisdom to the realm of knowing the destiny of heaven as Confucius said.
It's a pity that the crown prince Li Hong has already begun to choose a concubine, in order to save the crown princess Yang who was just engaged to the prince by Wu Zetian's nephew and the most famous evil young man in the history of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Qing must put aside the matter of investigating Yan Susu's true identity and rush to Chang'an as soon as possible.
After Xu Qing and Yan Susu returned to the Longmen Dart Bureau, they discussed Mei Yong's forgery of the secret letter of the Western Turkic Khan and discussed countermeasures. Yan Susu came up with a good idea, the Mei family has been a spy for Silla for decades, and there must be correspondence, Xu Qing is very familiar with the Mei Mansion, and he can sneak into the Mei Mansion to steal the Mei family's letter to the enemy and present it to the King of Yan, which is called returning the body of others with the way of others.
Xu Qing and Zhao Tuozhi, Nie Hu, Jia Quan, and Ji Yusheng sneaked into Meifu overnight with four masters in black clothes and masks, and just entered Mei Yong's study, he stepped on the stone slab that pulled the alarm bell, and suddenly the bell rang loudly, and the warriors of Meifu flocked to the study from all directions, and Xu Qing and other five people broke through the battle.
Yan Susu worried for a while, and finally looked forward to Xu Qing's return, but when she saw the blood stains on his clothes, she was shocked and asked distressedly and nervously, "Are you injured?" ”
Xu Qing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm not injured, it's the enemy's blood that splashed on me." ”
"Did you find the letter?" Yan Susu breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"As soon as I stepped into the study, I set off the alarm bell, and before I could look for it, I quickly fled back." Xu Qing regretted the authenticity.
"As long as you come back safely, we'll think of another way." Yan Susu comforted.
"Susu, it's late at night, can you just spend the night with me?" "Hmm." Yan Susu shyly agreed.
Xu Qing and Yan Susu had a spring breeze, and they were merry and happy. Mei Kaifang heard the personal maid say that Yan Susu came to Xu Qing, and she didn't leave until Xu Qing's room turned off the lights - Xu Qing and Mei Kaifang had been separated for a long time, and Mei Kaifang tossed and turned, sleepless all night.
