Chapter Eighty-Six: The Infiltration Plan
Just as Ma Ru and the others were greeting each other in front of the city gate, the residents of Fenghuo City looked at the well-trained team and started talking.
"Where did the city lord find this team, it looks so imposing!" someone exclaimed.
"Didn't you listen to them, that team was sent by the Yuan Capital Zhao Wangfu, can the imperial army not be imposing?"
"No wonder, but why did the army of the Yuan Capital come to our Fenghuo City, is it because of the matter of Mingfeng Village?" Some people speculated about the intention of this army, and thought of the ransacking of Fenghuo City in Mingfeng Village a few days ago.
"If only this were the case, the group of people in Mingfeng Village are really beasts, that day, there were no fewer dead people in our Fenghuo City, tsk, if it weren't for my lack of strength, I would have cleaned them up a long time ago!" someone clenched his fists and said hatefully, it seemed that he was also a person of temperament.
"Who says it's not, if this army can destroy the Mingfeng Village, it will be for the benefit of the surrounding places. ”
“......”
......
"Everyone, let's not stand here and talk, I have prepared a banquet in Tianxiang Building to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, please move. After Ma Ru and the others exchanged a few words, Qiao Xiu, the city lord of Fenghuo City, invited with a smile.
Although Ma Ru and the others wanted to complete the task quickly, but after looking at the sky, it was late today, and the soldiers were tired and hungry after rushing for days, so they responded to Qiao Xiu's kindness and rested overnight in Fenghuo City to rest.
Ma Ru and the others glanced at each other, and then Ma Ru, as a representative, smiled and clenched his fists and said: "Since this is the case, I'm not welcome, thank you for the kindness of City Lord Qiao!"
Qiao Xiu smiled and waved his hand, then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, Ma Ru also politely said a few times, and several people, including the army, walked towards the city.
And when these people left the city gate, the local guards of Fenghuo City posted a notice at the city wall, and people surrounded them one after another, wanting to see what notice the city lord's mansion had issued.
This look made them look surprised, this army is really here to exterminate Mingfeng Village, Qiao Xiu wrote the evil deeds of Mingfeng Village on the notice, and then praised the strength of the army in the palace, and finally Qiao Xiu reassured the residents, because Mingfeng Village was arrogant for a long time.
"Great, Zhao Guo has finally sent troops to clean up this Mingfeng Village, I think what else can Mingfeng Village do this time?" someone snorted.
"Alas, it's hard to say, although Mingfeng Village is full of evil, it still has strength, and I don't know if the army of the palace can win against the people of Mingfeng Village?" There are also those who have a negative view.
"Hey, Wang Ji, what do you think?" everyone's eyes looked at a one-armed man standing alone, their eyes full of respect.
The reason why this person named Wang Ji broke his arm was because when Mingfeng Village sacked Fenghuo City, he bravely stood up and resisted, but in the end he was defeated, although he was not killed, he still broke a hand, and Wang Ji's bravery also made many people in Fenghuo City admire.
Wang Ji quietly read the notice for a while, then turned to leave, leaving only one sentence: "No matter what, at least they really did something like exterminating Mingfeng Village, didn't they?"
Everyone looked at Wang Ji's distant back, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, they had sympathy for Wang Ji in addition to respect, everyone knew that Wang Ji's wife and children were all killed in the hands of Mingfeng Zhai in this battle, so Wang Ji would stand up and resist desperately......
......
Chen Yu and Zhao Mingzhu quietly followed when the army left, according to what Chen Yu and Zhao Mingzhu discussed, in order to ensure Zhao Mingzhu's safety, they should meet the worship or commander of the palace alone, and then secretly blend into the army, the fewer people who know Zhao Mingzhu's identity, the better.
Just as the two of them were following behind the army, a hand quietly climbed up Zhao Mingzhu's shoulder, and just when his hand was placed on Zhao Mingzhu's shoulder, Chen Yu suddenly turned around and stabbed the neck of the person behind him.
But in the end, Chen Yu's hand stayed at the position of about half an inch of this person's neck, and there was no killer, the reason why Chen Yu did not kill was because he was a little surprised, because the person behind them was actually a familiar figure.
Zhao Mingzhu also reacted at this time, turned his head to look, and suddenly wondered: "Xia Zuo, why are you here?"
That's right, the person behind them is actually the worship in the palace - Xia Zuo, this person is quite incompatible with Chen Yu, there has been friction in the palace, but I didn't expect to meet in Fenghuo City.
Xia Zuo didn't speak, but looked at Chen Yu, Chen Yu thought for a moment, and then took his hand back.
Xia Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said, "Your Royal Highness, do you really think that you can leave the palace quietly, the prince has long known about your small actions, so he sent me to follow you to protect your safety......"
Xia Zuo said a lot in one breath, but when he talked about the back, his voice became smaller and smaller, because he saw Zhao Mingzhu's face becoming more and more ugly.
At this moment, Zhao Mingzhu was extremely frustrated in his heart, he originally thought that his actions were seamless, but he didn't expect to be discovered by his father, but fortunately, his father did not arrest him directly and go home.
"Then what are you going to do to get me back?" Zhao Mingzhu asked Xia Zuo.
Xia Zuo smiled bitterly, Arrest you back?
Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "The prince didn't give me an order to arrest you back, but only told me to protect your safety, that's all......"
Zhao Mingzhu's eyebrows raised, when did Daddy become a transsexual? He actually sent someone to protect him, instead of arresting him back. Chen Yu next to him glanced at Xia Zuo with deep meaning, but he didn't speak, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart.
"Then you come with us, we are about to meet Uncle Ma alone, and then blend into the team, you remember, you must not reveal my identity, understand?" Zhao Mingzhu sternly admonished, Xia Zuo was stunned when he heard this, but he still nodded heavily, and just like that, the three of them followed the team in the direction of Tianxiang Tower.
......
Just when everyone was about to enter Tianxiang Building, Ma Ru's brows suddenly frowned, and then embarrassedly hugged his fists to Qiao Xiu and the others: "Everyone, I'm sorry, you go eat first, I'll go and make it convenient......" After speaking, before they could react, they left the team.
"Master Ma is really strange, there is a convenient place in Xianglou this day, why do you want to run elsewhere?" Qiao Xiu scratched his head and wondered, but Wen Yuan on the side took a deep look at Ma Ruyuan's back, the corners of his mouth bent, and he smiled.
Ma Ru didn't look for a convenient place, but turned a few times and walked into a dead end and stopped.
"Come out, you've followed us all the way from the city gate, what do you want to do?"
Since Ma Ru chased Lin Wenqing last time and lost it, he fortunately pondered the techniques of tracking and anti-tracking, and found that it was easy for him to find out whether anyone was following him.
"Hehe, Uncle Ma is really good, he actually discovered our ......" Zhao Mingzhu didn't intend to avoid Ma Ru, and directly pulled Chen Yu and Xia Zuo in.
"You, you, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, why did you come to Fenghuo City?" Not surprisingly, Ma Ru was taken aback when he saw Zhao Mingzhu's appearance, without the slightest preparation.
"You sneaked out?" When he said this, Ma Ru also glanced at Chen Yu, who was standing beside Zhao Mingzhu, he knew that the young man next to him had a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe it was Chen Yu who encouraged His Royal Highness the Prince to come here.
For Ma Runa's slightly reproachful gaze, he pouted, and said angrily: "Don't look at me, I was brought here after being stunned by this guy's daze......"
Chen Yu's words made Ma Ru cry and laugh a little, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to run out, but he actually stunned his friend and pulled him over.
Zhao Mingzhu laughed a few times, and Ma Ru looked at Xia Zuo again and asked, "What about you, you were also stunned by His Highness and brought here?"
Xia Zuo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I was entrusted by the prince to protect the safety of His Royal Highness. ”
Ma Ruyi patted his head, now it's okay, even the prince knows about it, if His Royal Highness the Prince is hurt a little in this operation, his head will not be protected.
"Uncle Ma, can you get me three sets of soldier clothes, I quietly blended into the team, no one knows my identity, so it's safer......" Zhao Mingzhu pleaded to Ma Ru.
Hearing Zhao Mingzhu's request, Ma subconsciously refused, jokingly, and took His Royal Highness the Prince to crusade against Mingfeng Village? If the Prince was injured in the process, he would not be able to repay his own lives.
But after thinking for a while, Ma Ru finally nodded helplessly and agreed, not because he was confident that he could keep Zhao Mingzhu thoughtful, but because there were still people from the National Teacher's Mansion in this Fenghuo City.
Originally, Ma Ru wanted to leave Zhao Mingzhu in Fenghuo City, and go back to Yuandu together after they came back, so as to ensure that Zhao Mingzhu would not be in danger, but when he thought that there were people from the National Teacher's Mansion here, he had to guard against it, there were dangers both horizontally and vertically, so it was better to put it by his side to be safer......
