Chapter Twenty-Three: Everything Is a Scheme

The night when the bright moon is in the sky, quiet and beautiful, and the bright moonlight envelops Chang'an, which looks poignant and romantic.

Two torches were blazing in the front yard of the construction site, and around the torches sat more than two dozen workers chatting with each other and eating delicious supper prepared by Du Fu.

Yu Wenchen stood up and glanced around, and said, "The next task is to work slowly and carefully, and if there are too many people, it will be a mistake." Why don't we divide into two groups, one group will rest first, and the other group will work, and wait until around the wee hours of the morning to rotate, do you have any opinions? ”

He was originally the head of the construction site, and Du He called him all the rights to deal with it, so naturally no one objected to his words.

"Since there is no objection, the person who is called will immediately go to work, and the others will rest!"

"Wei Fengyun, Zhang Wenbao, Zhou Wen, Zhao Bing......" He called twelve people in one breath, and the people who were called did not hesitate to leave directly.

Then he took a small jar of wine from somewhere, and said with a smile: "The night is cold and dewy, everyone drink wine to warm up their bodies, so as not to freeze." ”

The ancient wine, mainly mellow, most of the strength is not large, everyone can drink, the remaining fifteen people more or less drank some, this wine belly, everyone fell to the ground like a dead pig.

Only the two of them were still sitting: one was Yu Wenchen, and the other was Hou Peng, who was as thin as a monkey, and the cups in their hands were full of wine.

Yu Wenchen looked at the workers who fell to the ground, and smiled, why did he prevent Du He from suspecting, in addition to calling thirteen of his own people, he also picked fifteen irrelevant people on a special basis to confuse the public. In order to prevent them from making mistakes, they had prepared drugged wine, which was enough for them to sleep all night.

He snorted: "Hou Peng, put a signal!" ”

Hou Peng took the wood that followed the fire from the fire and shook it three times outside the house. After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps came, and more than fifty people rushed into the mansion with all kinds of equipment.

The eyes of each other were full of fanaticism, and they walked directly to the backyard without saying a word.

"Hou Peng, your ears and eyes are the most intelligent, stay here. If there is an emergency, immediately report the warning! Yu Wenchen whispered an order and then walked to the backyard.

In the backyard of the construction site, more than 60 people gathered around the pond, anxiously waiting.

"What's the situation?" When Yu Wenchen arrived, everyone else automatically made way for him to make a way to the vicinity of the pond.

Wei Fengyun beside him said: "Zhang Wenbao has already gone into the water, and he came up once before, saying that he found the entrance to the cave, but the hole was blocked by gravel, and he was trying to find a way to pry the stone open." ”

Yu Wenchen nodded, those gravels were to prevent the entrance from being discovered and blocked. The entrance to the cave was still blocked, which meant that no one had entered, and a smile appeared on his face.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Wenbao got out of the water and said excitedly: "Great, the hole has been pried open, what should I do next?" ”

Yu Wenchen took a bag from the hands of others behind him, and threw the bag to Zhang Wenbao with a thick hemp rope tied to one end of the bag: "You take the bag, dive into the water, put the bag at the entrance of the water, and then enter the deep warehouse to put the gold and silver into the bag, after it is full, shake the rope hard, and we will pull the gold and silver up here." "The bag is sewn with five layers of crocodile skin, which can block the sword, and naturally there is no need to worry about the risk of wear and tear.

Zhang Wenbao answered and drilled down.

Yu Wenchen called a few more people who were familiar with the surname Shui to go down and help carry it.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the rope swayed from side to side, and Yu Wenchen asked people to drag the bag full of gold up.

Looking at the full three hundred gold bars in the bag, everyone present secretly swallowed their saliva, and greed flashed in their eyes.

Due to the developed economy of the Tang Dynasty, the price was very low, and more than 300 gold bars were already hundreds of millions in RMB, which was a rare huge amount of money, and few people were not impressed.

Yu Wenchen is still a character, and he was not moved, so he sent the bag down.

This was repeated once, at first once in a quarter of an hour, but as he became more and more proficient, he could make two trips back and forth in a quarter of an hour, and after two hours, eleven boxes of gold bars had been brought ashore, and eleven boxes of silver cakes had been delivered.

Yu Wenchen looked at the time and ordered: "On the last trip, I am transporting a box of silver cakes, and this is the end of today, and the rest will be taken tomorrow!" ”

Wei Fengyun was stunned and said in surprise: "It's still early, why don't you take all the surnames at once, so as not to have too many dreams at night?" ”

"No way!" Yu Wenchen said: "Time is not allowed, it will take at least two hours for the rest to be installed, and the sky is already slightly bright at that time, and the distance of hundreds of steps is clearly visible." Our group is too conspicuous, and once discovered by the patrol guards, we will fall short, we can't take this risk, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry! ”

Wei Fengyun also felt justified and didn't say more.

Zhang Wenbao and others sent the last box of silver.

"Prepare everything and go!" Yu Wenchen had all the gold and silver put into sacks, which were carried by those who were reliable, and gave the order to retreat.

"Let's go? I don't know where Brother Yuwen wants to go? Du He came out of the shadows, his hands around his chest, and his handsome face showed a playful look, and his eyes looked at them with some ridiculousness.

Du He's voice was not loud, and it was very soft, but at this moment, it was like a thunderbolt in the ears of Yu Wenchen, Wei Fengyun, Zhang Wenbao and others.

They were so frightened by Du He's sudden appearance that they took a step back, and couldn't help but change their color!

Yu Wenchen's face was bloodless, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Du He, you ......" He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say?

"Accident?" Du He shook his head, and his mouth made a "squeak" sound, "I'm not surprised at all, I've been standing there for more than an hour, but you don't notice it." And I see that you are carrying these treasures so hard, it is even more difficult to make a sound, after all, it is for me, how can I refuse! ”

"Impossible, impossible!" Yu Wenchen's eyes were bloodshot, he shook his head in disbelief, his calm demeanor was gone, and he shouted: "Where is Hou Peng, where is Hou Peng?" ”

"Hou Peng?" Du He pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "Are you talking about the character who looks like a monkey?" That guy looked shrewd, but he was actually stupid as a pig, and he didn't notice it when I stood behind him for a while! When he said this, his tone revealed a strong self-confidence, with his own light skills, although he could not come and go like the wind, but there are definitely no more than ten people in the world who can be compared. Even if there are ten people, each of them must be over forty or fifty years old.

Wei Fengyun said sharply: "What are you afraid of, he only has one person, kill him and rush out!" ”

"Alas!" Du He shook his head again and sighed: "I finally understand why Li Jiancheng will lose, with your group of subordinates, if he can win, the sows will go up the tree, do you really think that in this case, I will pick all of you alone?" ”

In the face of his ridicule, Yu Wenchen, Wei Fengyun, Zhang Wenbao and others were not only angry, but only fearful!

Du He said Li Jiancheng, which means that he already knows their identities, and they are all exposed.

"Not good!" Yu Wenchen suddenly exclaimed, and reacted, Du He obviously wanted to wipe them all out this time, and their strength was not bad, if they wanted to be annihilated, they must be fully prepared, and it was not easy to quietly send troops and horses to surround them in this silent night, Du He appeared alone, obviously to delay the time.

"Rush, take the gold and silver, rush out together!"

Du He smiled: "It's not bad, you finally found out, but unfortunately, it's a little late!" ”

Under Yu Wenchen's order, one by one, the strong men pulled out their weapons and killed him. But before it could get close to a soft "boom", the person who rushed to the front let the powerful crossbow arrow, and an arrow passed through the chest.

Behind Du He, more than two hundred crossbowmen armed with repeaters pointed their crossbow arrows at them mercilessly, and the pace of rushing forward immediately stopped, and in the face of a volley of crossbow arrows at close range, even Xiang Yu, the strongest military general in history, may not have the ability to dodge, let alone them?

"Walk the wall!" There was a shout from the crowd, and someone reacted and climbed up the wall, but as soon as he showed his head, there were immediately more than a dozen "whoosh" crossbow arrows breaking through the air.

The man who was about to flee from the wall fell hard, and a full nine crossbow arrows were stuck in his thin face.

Seeing this situation, Yu Wenchen, Wei Fengyun, Zhang Wenbao and others were like ashes, and there was no blood on their faces.

"You can't run away, I have arranged a thousand crossbowmen around, even if you have the courage of the overlord, it is difficult to fly today." Du He took a step forward, his words full of incomparable confidence.

"How is that possible?" Yu Wenchen's expression changed again!

Du He smiled: "As long as you have a heart, nothing is impossible." I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, since you asked to work overtime at night, the soldiers patrolling the entire Renchongfang at night are all my people, and you who think you are the turtle in my urn for a long time. The reason why I didn't do it for a long time was just to find the most appropriate time. ”

Yu Wenchen's body shook for a while, he almost couldn't stand, and he also figured out all the reasons in his heart, and said in a lost voice: "All this is acting?" You've been acting since the beginning? ”

"Not bad!" Du He was not in a hurry to arrest people at the moment, his eyes were searching the crowd with ulterior motives, and he was answering Yu Wenchen's question while searching: "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." Changsun Chong is cooperating with me to act, drunken and spilling is something we have already agreed, but Changsun Jun is not, his surname is reckless, he is instigated, and he can do everything. But it's also because of his surname that he can perform this play so well. ”

"Changsun Chong is not your mortal enemy, how can he help you and cooperate with you in acting?" Yu Wenchen's expression was still incredulous, but in fact, he had gradually regained his composure, and he was stalling for time.

Du He had already seen his intentions and sneered slightly, but pretended not to know and took out the holy decree from his arms: "I have it, who dares not to obey!" ”

He said proudly, but the situation in his mind that he had entered the Zhao State Mansion alone with a holy decree came to mind.
