432 The Wind Rises in Dongting (Part II)
After receiving Chu Haoyu's orders, Ma Changjiang led all the helmsmen to move forward at full speed, but even so, it was the second half of the night when they arrived in Yueyang, and the bustling Yueyang City was empty and silent. Chu Haoyu didn't get off the boat, but Sun Hou used his light skills to disappear into the depths of the street, but when he returned, he had become three people.
Boarding the boat, Sun Hou led the two to stop at the hatch, bowed down and said, "Son, Jiangnan Dao Xu Helm Master, Yueyang Wei Chen Guangfu asks to see you." ”
When Sun Hou's words fell, a voice immediately sounded in the cabin, saying, "Come in." ”
Sun Hou pushed open the door but didn't go in, and by the faint light, he finally saw the appearance of the two. The first one looked like he was in his fifties, tall but a little thin, with an ordinary appearance and a cold face as if someone owed him money, wearing a Confucian shirt, but there was no elegance at all but a little sour, like a scholar who had tried and failed, but when he saw Chu Haoyu, two lights lit up in his eyes, and there was excitement that could not be concealed. Xu Hong, the helmsman of Eagle Guard in Gangnam Province.
The other person is not tall and looks fatter, with a kind smile on Heavenly Court's full face, it is a pair of eyes, and it always makes people feel good about it, but when he saw Chu Haoyu, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes. Chen Guangfu is in charge of Yueyangwei, although this identity is not obvious, but his other identity is almost unknown in Yueyang, the shopkeeper of Yueyang Building.
Seeing Chu Haoyu, Xu Hong's expression did not change in the slightest, but Chen Guangfu's smile became brighter and brighter, and the two knelt down at the same time and said, "See His Royal Highness the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
Chu Haoyu has only seen Xu Hong once but knows a lot about him, but there are only eleven ways in the Great Chu Land, which means that there are only eleven helmsmen in the Eagle Guard, since Chu Haoyu wants to take over the Chu family Tianwei, he naturally has to think of controlling these eleven people, but he has worked them, as for Chen Guangfu, he can't get into his eyes.
Glancing at the two of them, Chu Haoyu said, "Lord Xu Duo is also in Yueyang?" Get up. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." In the sound of kneeling, Chen Hong and Chen Guangfu stood up at the same time, and Chen Hong replied even more respectfully: "Returning to the prince, I learned that the Dragon King's order was on Dongting Lake, so I rushed to Yueyang, hoping to find out the rebellious ministers and thieves and the treasure of the Dragon King for the court and the prince." ”
Chu Haoyu tapped his head and said slowly: "Tell me about the matter in detail." ”
Xu Hong is the helmsman of Jiangnan Province, this matter must be investigated clearly within his jurisdiction, not to mention that he is thinking of taking advantage of this matter to get into Chu Haoyu's eyes, you must know that Chu Haoyu is not only the prince of the imperial court, but also the helmsman of the Chu family Tianwei. Therefore, Xu Hong has put a lot of effort into not only obtaining the treasure of the Dragon King, but also finding out the Heavenly Thorn Traitor hidden in the dark, and now listening to Chu Haoyu take the initiative to ask, Xu Hong is a little excited in his heart, but his expression has not changed in the slightest after decades of spy experience, and he replied while sorting out his thoughts: "Lord Qi, this matter has to start with you, Lord Wang." ”
Raising his head and glancing at Chu Haoyu, Xu Hong said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, you passed by Qufu to see through the conspiracy of Dong San'er and others, Lord Wang, you magnanimously bypassed Dong San'er's life, but hated this guy who did not repent but assassinated the prince in Dongting Lake, Wuhu Gang Cui Yongbo was angry that Dong San'er framed him and wanted to make up for it, so he pursued Dong San'er vigorously, and when Dong San'er was forced to have no way out, he actually thought of the Cao Gang secretly rudder on Taihu Lake back then, he should have tried his luck, and he didn't want him to really hit the luck. ”
After a pause, Xu Hong explained: "The Cao Gang had a bad relationship with the Sun family when it was in its heyday, and the Sun family of Taihu Lake is a thousand-year-old family. The Lotus Temple has a history of 100 years, and has a very good reputation in Yueyang, and there will be many good men and women to worship the Buddha on the first and fifteenth days of the first month of each month. On August 15, Dong San'er followed many pilgrims to the Lotus Temple, and happened to meet the remnants of the Cao Gang, Benchen, who was also a famous monk in the Lotus Temple, and has now been imprisoned by his humble position. ”
Hearing this, Chu Haoyu interjected and asked, "The clue to the Dragon King's treasure was obtained from Ben Chen?" ”
Xu Hong immediately replied: "Lord Wang, this is also where he has always been puzzled, Ben Chen said that he didn't know. Seeing Chu Haoyu's brows furrowed slightly, Xu Hong explained: "According to what Benchen said, the reason why he set up a stronghold in Taihu Lake is because the Huo family, the water dragon king, knew that although the Cao Gang was powerful, it could not be compared with a thousand-year-old family like the Sun family. When the Cao Gang was about to fall, the Huo family first sent personal guards to hand over a handscroll to Benchen, which was a record of the world's rivers, so that Benchen could carefully collect it. ”
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Chu Haoyu's eyes, and he said, "Did he hand it over to Dong San'er?" ”
Xu Hong replied solemnly: "Exactly." Benchen said that he had looked through it and found nothing unusual, so he carefully collected it. Dong San'er was able to find the treasure of the Dragon King, which should be related to that book, which caused disputes between the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang. ”
This time, Chu Haoyu didn't open his mouth but was thinking about something, he was silent for a long time, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, a month ago, the young master of Qianzhou Hall appeared in Dongting Lake, he must have found something, what about Dong San'er?" ”
Looking at Chu Haoyu's calm face, Xu Hong suddenly found that rumors are rumors after all, this master is not only quick-minded, but it is even more rare that he is thoughtful and not confused by appearances, no wonder Battle, who can cross the desert. In an instant, Xu Hong suppressed all his thoughts and replied respectfully: "Since the Wuhu Gang and the Qianzhoutang Brigade appeared, Dong San'er has disappeared, and he has sprinkled a large number of spies on his humble position, and even listed him as a key criminal for the Yamen to want, but there are no clues. Now, the lowly position is fully monitoring the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang, they have been facing each other for six days and fighting several times, if the lowly position is not bad, I am afraid that Wan Canghe and Yin Zhanfei will talk about joining forces to take the treasure, but as long as they take the treasure, it will be the day they will be destroyed. Speaking of this, Xu Hong hugged his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Two months ago, the Seventh Prince's eyes were like torches to recognize Zhao Jiu and the thieves, and now under the leadership of the Seventh Prince, he will definitely be able to wipe them out." ”
Listening to Xu Hong, the top boss, he slapped his ass last time, and Chen Guangfu, who had never spoken, said with a smile on his face: "The prince is a genius, and the heroes of the Battle generation are still ambushed, not to mention the small Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang, aren't they still hand-to-hand?" ”
Glancing at the two of them, Chu Haoyu didn't speak, and after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Dong San'er's identity is suspicious, he must be hiding somewhere to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, be sure to find him." ”
Xu Hong immediately replied: "If you have an order to be lowly and have an order, you must capture Dong San'er." ”
Tapping his head, Chu Haoyu asked again: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of people on the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhou Hall facing each other, how do you plan to take the treasure?" Moreover, the battle between the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang is well known to passers-by, and the Huo family is also known as the Water Dragon King and once wanted to compete in the world, thinking that this batch of treasures is worth a lot of money, I'm afraid that many people are worried about it, right? ”
Xu Hong already had a countermeasure, and he didn't dare to hide it from Chu Haoyu, so he opened his mouth and replied: "Lord Qiqi, as long as they take the treasure, there must be a dispute, and when the time comes, it will definitely be a lose-lose, and I think that as long as the army is approaching, I will be able to scare them away." ”
Hearing Xu Hong say so surely, Chu Haoyu knew that he had an arrangement, after all, the helmsman of each road was selected by thousands of choices, and he could be in charge of himself, so he nodded and said: "The waterway has not been calm all these years, and the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang are also becoming more and more presumptuous, take this opportunity to have a good beating." ”
Xu Hong immediately bowed down and said, "Humble duty is ordered, as for the other forces, this time the major forces did not interfere." After a pause, Xu Hong explained: "The Sun family has always called itself the Sun family of Dongting, and now even if the mountain is closed and the world is not asked, the major families still have to take care of the face of the Sun family, and they have never sent people to come, so far the subordinates have not been able to find the team approaching, as for the rivers and lakes, the Wuji Temple has closed the mountain, and the Tianlong Temple will not take action for this, the owner of the Tibetan Sword Villa Guo Zhuang guessed that this matter can be related to the heavenly thorn thief, and he has never sent people, but the Holy Sect is a little strange, the Holy Sect has always liked to be lively, and this time he did not send people. ”
Chu Haoyu knew the reason after a little guess, Cao Yuezhong and Zhang Zhendong were selling their face, while Xu Hong continued: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, if you don't see these top wealthy families and Jianghu sects, the major forces in Jiangnan Province are a little ready to move, especially the green forest figures, a large number of people poured into Yueyang, and they are also a not weak force. ”
Tapping his head, Chu Haoyu suddenly asked, "What do you mean by Dong San'er's move?" Without the top gate valves and sects, he can't set off the wind and waves at all, so it is better for him to take the treasure quietly. ”
This time, Xu Hong did not answer but fell into deep thought, it was Chen Guangfu, and the smile on his face disappeared a lot. Suddenly, Chen Guangfu's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Wang, you just said that the young master of Qianzhou Hall had already rushed to Yueyang, did Yin Zhanfei get any clues?" Dong San was helpless, so he deliberately caused chaos and wanted to fish in troubled waters? ”
Chu Haoyu didn't speak, seeing this, Xu Hong could only say: "The humble post has been ordered by the fourth master to mobilize Yueyang* water master, and the other fourth master has already passed the saint and ordered the Jiangnan Dao water master to enter the guard, and he will never let the thief take away the treasure of the dragon king." If it is really as Guangfu said, it can only be a treasure that we do not know. ”
At this moment, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said: "The Heavenly Thorn Traitor is bent on subverting my Great Chu Dynasty, and he will not be moved by external objects, I am afraid that there is really something amazing." After a pause at this, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "It's been five days?" ”
Xu Hong opened his mouth and replied: "It's been five days, and there have only been two large-scale battles, but the losses are not big, and if they don't find the treasure of the Dragon King, they won't fight." Now, the Wuhu Gang and Qianzhoutang are looking for the Dragon King's treasure day and night. ”
"Treasure of the Dragon King." muttering to himself, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and ordered: "Search for Dong San'er, this person is cunning, and there must be a big secret on his body." Furthermore, when Benchen comes, the king wants to see him. ”
Xu Hong immediately bowed down and replied: "I have an order to be lowly and degraded, so I will go and take the dust." After a pause at this, Xu Hong looked at Chu Haoyu again and said, "Lord Wang, the waves on the water are big, it is better to go ashore to rest, and the yard has been arranged." ”
After thinking for a while, Chu Haoyu nodded and said, "It's okay, but this king is just passing by Dongting, so there is no need to alarm everyone." ”
