Chapter 126: The Mysterious Visitor
In the evening, Wu Jin came out of the military camp of Meihuawei, and several colleagues invited him to drink, but Wu Jin remembered the repeated instructions of the king of Lanling County to him last night, so he politely refused and hurried back to the mansion.
When he returned to the palace, it was already dark, he turned over and dismounted, but he happened to see the old housekeeper coming out of the palace in a panic, and when he saw him, the old housekeeper shouted happily: "Childe, you are finally back, and the master asked me to find you." ”
Wu Jin threw the horse to the servant at the door and entered the house with the housekeeper, "Is there anything important at home?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head, "I don't know, the master is in a hurry, I asked you a few times, and even the princess doesn't know what it is?" ”
Wu Jin was stunned in his heart, even the princess didn't know, could it be the matter of the Jin Anhui? The Jin'an Society was an organization secretly established by the supporters of the Jin'an Emperor back then, extremely hidden, and there were no more than twenty people who knew this name.
Jin'an will be based on the six warriors of Jin'an, so far, no Jin knows four people, wine Taoist, Chen Island Master, Huiming Zen Master, Jiang Ge Lao, but there are two more He never knows, according to a little information that Huiming Zen Master told him, the six warriors of Jin'an have died two.
And among the four people he knew, only his master Wine Taoist had died, and the remaining two people he didn't know, one should have died, and the other was extremely hidden, and the king of Lanling County never told him.
I don't know if I can know a little clue today, Wu Jin walked quickly towards the inner house, just a few steps, he suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper, "Has Huangfu Wuzhi been here today?" ”
When it came to Huangfu Wuzhi, the old housekeeper's eyes showed a look of hatred, and he said hatefully: "At noon today, he secretly came during the old man's lunch break, and I don't know what he came to do. ”
Sure enough, Wu Jin sneered, of course he knew what this person was doing, Huangfu Wuzhi came to find Jing Niang, but he didn't find it, so he lost his temper, this bastard, it seems that it is time to clean him up.
He walked into the inner house, and followed the old housekeeper to a stone building in the backyard, this stone building is a very special building in the palace, built in a forest, all made of bluestone, covering an area of about one acre, the whole building has no windows, only a very small heavy iron door.
In fact, almost every palace has such a building, which is generally a place to store valuables in the palace, and some are built underground, but the basement is relatively humid, and many valuables that are afraid of moisture are not easy to preserve.
This bluestone building in the Lanling palace is called the hidden room, and everyone in the palace knows that it is the place where the prince stores some important items, but no one knows what items are stored, and no one has ever entered it.
There is only one key, and it is in the hands of the prince, Wu Jin came to the door, only to see that the iron door was hidden, and there were eight biao-shaped men standing at the door, which made Wujin a little stunned, these eight biao-shaped men he had never seen, not from the palace.
The old housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at Wujin and said to the gatekeeper: "This is my son-in-law, the old prince is waiting for him." ”
A big man pulled the iron door open a little, "Childe, please!" ”
Wu Jin glanced at these big men again, and walked into the stone house, this stone house he had come in several times, in fact, there was nothing in it, the last worship to Emperor Jin'an was also held here, but the things were destroyed after the worship, they can keep it secret for forty years, and they will never leave a trace of evidence outside.
Wu Jin walked through the long narrow stone road, pushed open an iron door, and walked into the stone house, the stone house was empty, there was a large table inside, there were several people sitting at the table, in addition to the king of Lanling County, Jiang Ge Lao and Huiming Zen Master, there was also a man about fifty years old, he was burly, wearing a blue Confucian shirt, wearing a gauze hat, dressed as a Confucian appearance, but his appearance was mighty, tiger eyes and lion nose, under the thick eyebrows like a brush, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, sitting there, his waist was straight.
When he saw Wujin coming in, he asked the king of Lanling County, "Is he Wujin?" ”
The king of Lanling nodded, and the middle-aged man immediately stood up, walked in front of Wu Jin in a few steps, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with a fist, "Zhang Chongjun see the lord!" ”
It turned out that he was Zhang Chongjun, the envoy of the Helong Festival who was in charge of 200,000 Xiliang elite soldiers, and the eight big men at the door were his personal soldiers, Wu Jin hurriedly helped him up, "Zhang Dashuai, please get up!" ”
Zhang Chongjun is the son of Huiming Zen Master, is the son-in-law of the king of Lanling County, at the age of fifteen in the Xiliang army, from a small soldier step by step to become the most powerful warlord of the Daning Dynasty, he took over the military power of the king of Lanling County ten years ago, became the commander of the Xiliang army, and was deeply hated by Huangfu Zhuo.
Zhang Chongjun is the core figure of the second generation of the Jin'an Association and one of the staunchest supporters of Wujin, he stood up and looked at Wujin, and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being the son of Tianfeng, and it is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people." ”
He turned back to everyone and smiled: "Sure enough, it didn't disappoint me, with Gongzi here, we have hope for revival." ”
Wu Jin was a little embarrassed by his praise, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Zhang Dashuai has won the award, Wu Jin actually has no actual talent, and he will disappoint Dashuai." ”
Zhang Chongjun smiled slightly, "I know your affairs very well, whether you have talent or not, we all know it in our hearts, you don't have to be modest, come, please sit down!" ”
Wu Jin is actually their lord, but because he has not been in the early stages for a long time, he is still regarded as a junior by them to a large extent, plus Wu Jin is young, and he can't compare with their forty-year old qualifications, so Wu Jin has not been able to coerce everyone.
It can be said that Wu Jin is still in a probationary period, and if he wants to completely convince everyone, he must rely on his own efforts.
Wu Jin knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain everyone's respect, he first had to respect himself, and he did not sit timidly at the end, but pulled out the chair in the first place and sat down directly.
This chair is always empty there, it is the seat of the Tianfeng Prince, but Wu Jin sat down in this seat at this time, and everyone was stunned.
After a while, Zhang Chongjun suddenly knelt down again, this time, he knelt down not on one knee, but on both knees, "Zhang Chongjun was rude just now, please punish the lord!" ”
Zhang Chongjun knelt down, Jiang Ge couldn't sit still, knelt down, and said ashamedly: "Jiang Yan was once worshiped by the lord, it was the younger generation to meet the elders, but Jiang Yan forgot the courtesy of his subordinates, please punish the lord!" ”
The king of Lanling County is not a person from the Jin'an Society, he doesn't need to kneel, and Huiming Zen Master has become a monk, and there is no need to kneel, and there is also an emperor Bailing, he is the same as the King of Lanling County, and he is not a person from the Jin'an Society, except for the three of them, the rest are subordinates of Wujin.
Wu Jin smiled, "The two elders please, Wu Jin is young and doesn't dare to accept the elders' gifts." ”
Wu Jin's calm attitude made Huangfu Jiang secretly praise, this kid is beginning to realize his status, this is a good thing, if he is too weak, how can he integrate the family forces of the six warriors, especially the Chen family, which has almost become the kingdom of reading, if he himself can't be tough, once the Chen Island Lord goes, can the descendants of the Chen family still serve him as the master?
This is actually the point that Huangfu Jiang is most worried about, he is a royal family, he knows the supremacy of imperial power, Wu Jin will seize the throne in the future, not play with children, if the descendants of the six warriors can not serve him wholeheartedly, but have their own selfish intentions, then Wu Jin to seize the throne can only be a bubble.
Fortunately, Wu Jin has matured faster than he imagined, and he has begun to have a strong sense of lordship, which makes Huangfu Jiang deeply gratified.
Everyone sat down again, Huangfu Jiang smiled at Wujin first: "This time Chongjun returned, the court didn't know, he also just came back, but he could only stay for an hour at most, before the city gate closed, he had to leave, and rushed back to Xiliang, Wujin, there are people in the Xiliang army eyeing each other, Chongjun can't leave for a moment, I hope you can understand." ”
"I understand!"
Wu Jin also smiled slightly: "So the old prince pretended to be sick, recruited Huangfu Zhuo back first, and gave Zhang Dashuai a chance to come back, I'm right!" ”
Zen Master Huiming laughed, "Old Wang, I'm right! Your little trick can't be hidden, he has already seen through it. ”
Huangfu Jiang didn't expect Wu Jin to be able to see through his intentions, he smiled approvingly: "Yes, I underestimated Wu Jin." ”
He said to Zhang Chongjun again: "Chongjun, come on!" ”
Zhang Chongjun pondered for a while and said slowly: "This time I came back mainly to pay homage to the lord, in addition, I also want to tell you about the situation of the Xiliang Army, in general, the Xiliang Army is still under my control, but Huangfu Xuande has indeed begun to infiltrate, and the progress is very fast, the theft of the tiger talisman that occurred a month ago was committed by Uncle Shen Guo, but it reminded me from one side that if Huangfu Xuande wants to do it, he will definitely buy the closest people around me, I have found out that Liao Wenzhong, the governor of Jinchang, is likely to have been bought by Huangfu Xuande, He has been in close contact with Huang Fu Zhuo recently, and I have intercepted a letter between him and Huang Fu Zhuo. ”
After speaking, he handed a letter to Wu Jin, he said it more implicitly, mainly to give Huangfu Jiang a little face, in fact, this Liao Wenzhong has secretly betrayed.
Wu Jin hurriedly read the letter and asked him, "Does that big man have a countermeasure?" ”
Zhang Chongjun nodded, "I have the countermeasure, it's very simple, half a month later, the two Qiang tribes in Jinchang County are going to rebel, I will personally lead the army to quell the rebellion, and then take the opportunity to capture Liao Wenzhong's 20,000 troops, Liao Wenzhong will die in the rebellion of the Qiang people, I won't give him any chance, but the problem is that it is easy to deal with one person and two people, the key is Huangfu Xuande's side, he has been moving faster and faster against the Xiliang army recently, and he must find a way to slow down his progress, which is more difficult to do." ”
Everyone was silent, everyone knew that Huangfu Xuande was determined to take back the Xiliang Army, but he mainly started from Huangfu Zhuo, and Huangfu Zhuo was willing to cooperate, if you want to break Huangfu Xuandebu's game, you actually have to start with Huangfu Zhuo, but in front of Huangfu Jiang, no one can open this mouth.
"Let me tell you a plan!" Wu Jin broke the silence.
