Chapter Seventy-One: Ready to Fly
After sending Ma Luan away, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but regret it. If you knew this, you shouldn't have told him where you were hiding. Now, these people are about to do it, and once they do, it's an earth-shattering thing. But the Zheng family must not leave any traces in this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly found several of his confidants. In addition to arranging to deliver the news to Zheng Junshui, he specially told them. From now on, it is necessary to clear the intersection between Yiqiē and Ma Luan and others.
arranged all the matters, but Zheng Hongkui was always unable to settle down. This incident will be a great opportunity for the Zheng family to soar. Even if there was a conflict between Ishii Zheng and Gao Pu Zheng before, after all, he couldn't write two Zheng characters in one stroke. Whether Zheng Cai or Zheng Zhilong does this matter, he Zheng Hongkui needs to do it with all his might.
Thinking of this, he asked his confidant again, "Is King Tang still staying in Xiaofeng City now?" ”
"That's right, our people have been keeping a close watch. King Tang is very observant, after returning to the fiefdom, he has never even left the palace, he has been accompanying the princess and children in the palace, and there is very little contact with the outside world. ”
"Good!" Zheng Hongkui nodded, "When the overall situation in Nanjing has been decided, you will ......", Zheng Hongkui thought carefully for a moment, "No, I should go through it myself!" ”
"Fourth master, there is one more thing!" The confidant took the opportunity to say.
In addition to attacking Ma Shiying and others, the people of Dongchang are also searching for people in Shandong throughout the city, and they have raided several stores in one day, and have taken dozens of people, looking at the situation, it is to clear out all the eyes and ears that Shandong has planted in Nanjing! ”
"Oh?" Zheng Hongkui was very surprised, but he really couldn't figure it out. Why did Emperor Yixing kill the people in Shandong so much at this time.
Zheng Hongkui had heard of the grievances between Zhu Cihong and Zhu Ping'an, but he didn't expect it to intensify to such a point. Speaking of which, this is good, but it gives the Zheng family an opportunity to take advantage of, and now Zhu Cihong's attention is completely on Zhu Ping'an. The Zheng family can just take advantage of the situation.
Speaking of which, Zhu Ping'an is indeed a feared opponent, with him, Tang King Zhu Yujian may not be at the mercy of the Zheng family, but now Emperor Yixing easily helped the Zheng family contain this opponent, which made Zheng Hongkui a lot easier.
"Alright, go about your work! Remember to tell the eldest prince, you must remember that the soldiers are fast! ”
……
In the middle of the night, Ah Da got the news that Ma Shiying, Liu Kongzhao, and Ruan Dacheng were robbed on the way to Dongchang. He realized immediately. Ma Luan, Zheng Hongkui and others are about to do it immediately.
But before he could reach the fixed message delivery point, he was intercepted by a series of Dongchang fans.
Ah Da entered Nanjing this time, he was a secret messenger, and there were not many entourages with him, only seven or eight people, and he finally broke out of the encirclement, and there were only three people left around him.
However, he decisively severed the connection with the Nanjing Qianhu Institute, in order to avoid greater losses to Shandong's intelligence forces in Nanjing.
In the twinkling of an eye. The two message transmission points under his control were all destroyed, and he could not confirm whether the Nanjing Qianhu Office was also aware of the information in his hands. Therefore, it is imperative that he can only choose other channels to transmit the news back to Shandong just in case. One more thing, Nanjing is about to be in chaos, and Zhu Yujiao is the princess of Daming. must not stay out of the matter, at this time, it should be to inform Cao Wuxian that they should withdraw from this place of right and wrong.
There was no way, he could only take three of his subordinates to take advantage of the night and sneak out of the city wall. Go straight to Yao Qi's tea house outside the Xianhe Gate.
The guy from Yao Qichaliao opened the courtyard door with sleepy eyes, and when he saw that it was Ah Da and the others, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly let them into the courtyard.
When Yao Qi and the others heard the movement, they also hurriedly got up, and when they came out, they were already holding weapons in their hands, obviously seeing Ah Da and others coming late at night, something must have happened.
But before the two could speak, there was already the sound of people shouting and neighing horses at the city gate, and the sound of horses' hooves galloped towards the direction of Chaliao like thunder.
Ah Da's face changed, but he didn't expect these Dongchang fans to be as ghostly as maggots on tarsal bones.
Outside the small courtyard, the torches swayed, and from time to time there was a shout of "Hugh is leaving, the thief", and soon, the outside of the courtyard returned to calm, but a cold voice suddenly came in.
"Ah Da, our family is Wang Pin, I know you are inside. We are all old acquaintances, I really don't want to use the sword soldiers, as long as you put down your weapons and obediently follow our family, even if I don't want to fight for the official position of the master of ceremonies and the supervisor of the Dongchang factory, I will definitely protect you a way out! ”
Ah Da's cheeks twitched suddenly, and he shoved a note in his hand into Yao Qi's hand, "Find a way to send it out quickly!" ”
Yao Qi nodded, ran directly to the porch, lifted a layer of linoleum, and revealed a wide birdcage, in which were two carrier pigeons.
Ah Da was ecstatic, "Good boy, when did you actually save two private goods!" ”
Yao Qiyi smiled, "The villain loves to raise pigeons, this is still a young pigeon secretly obtained from Shandong, it is not easy to finally develop, and it can come in handy today!" ”
Ah Da nodded, and quickly copied another message with charcoal, tied to the legs of the two carrier pigeons. But as soon as one was released, there was a bowstring sound outside the courtyard, and the carrier pigeon that had just taken off fell in response to the arrow.
"Ah Da, don't do the battle of trapped beasts anymore, our family knows all the tricks of your Shandong Military Intelligence Department, our family really doesn't want your hands to be stained with your blood, don't force me!"
Ah Da's eyes were about to split, and Yao Qi was even more heartbroken.
Ah Da stuffed the carrier pigeon into Yao Qi's hand, "You are a fresh face, let's rush out first, kill their archers, attract their attention, you find an opportunity to send the carrier pigeon out, this is a matter of tens of millions of people's lives, don't go on a business trip!" ”
Yao Qi gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "Uncle, don't worry, I will send the news out with this life!" ”
Ah Da and the others came to the door, and at this time, several of Yao Qi's men had already distributed the bows and crossbows in the tea house to everyone, and even stuffed some 10,000 enemies made by the Dengzhou firearms workshop into everyone's hands.
As General A's hand fell downward, several people lit the fuse of 10,000 enemies and threw them outside the courtyard, and explosions suddenly sounded outside the door. A powerful wave of air lifted the courtyard gates.
Ah Da and the others took advantage of this kung fu to kill out of the inside, and after they came out, they found that Wang Pin had already taken precautions against this, and had already withdrawn people more than 20 steps away, so the lethality to Dongchang Fanzi was not great. It's just that these fans who have never experienced the battle formation have a burst of panic.
This panic gave Ah Da and the others a chance to get closer, and a burst of crossbow arrows were fired, aiming directly at the archers in Fanzi, and suddenly several archers fell to the ground and howled. Ah Da and the others did not stop, quickly approaching Fanzi's team, and the bow and crossbow in their hands kept firing until all the arrows were fired.
Yao Qi followed closely behind Ah Da and the others, saw the opportunity, and jumped onto a big tree on the side of the road. Climb like an ape to the top of a tree.
Wang Pin in the crowd has always been closely watching Ah Da and the others' every move, and the moment Yao Qi got up the tree, Wang Pin found him, the black shadow who had been curled up behind Ah Da and the others.
Wang Pin didn't dare to show too much mercy to his subordinates, so he immediately picked up a strong bow from the ground, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and aimed at Yao Qi.
The palms of his hands trembled a little, and Wang Pin's heart was also trembling. But the arrow is already on the string and has to be fired.
A bowstring sounded. Yao Qi's body trembled, but he jumped high from the branch. With his hands forward, a carrier pigeon flew high from his hand, flapping its wings and quickly soaring into the dark sky.
Wang Pin secretly said that it was not good, and quickly put on another arrow, but he couldn't find the carrier pigeon.
Yao Qi fell heavily from the tree, and Ah Da swung his knife to force back several fans who were entangled in him. Quickly came to his side and wanted to help him up, but Yao Qi was already spurting blood from his mouth, obviously seriously injured, and his life was short.
Yao Qi shuddered with his hands. Reaching into his arms, he took out a small package and stuffed it into Ah Da's hand, he wanted to speak but couldn't say anything, and in a moment, his eyes were wide and he stopped breathing.
Ah Da's heart is like a knife, and he knows what is in the package in his hand without asking. immediately put it in his arms, turned around and stared at Wang Pin with a pair of murderous eyes.
Wang Pin sighed leisurely, "I said, don't force me anymore!" ”
A guard held Ah Da and couldn't help but say, so he pushed it in the direction of the less fan, "Uncle, let's go, we are here to top!" ”
The other guard returned to cut down a fanzi and snatched his mount over, and the two of them used all their strength to push the struggling Ada onto the horse's back, and thrust the steel knife in their hands into the horse's buttocks, and the horse screamed miserably, and ran forward with its hoof.
Wang Pin gritted his teeth and commanded the wounded archer to open his bow and release arrows, and Ah Da's body on horseback trembled, and two arrows had already shot into his back.
The sound of fighting behind him became more and more faint, but Ah Da was strong and vigorous, and kept beating his horse and whipping forward, until the familiar outline of the Taoist temple gradually appeared in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, Ah Da couldn't hold on any longer, and fell off the horse, but then, a figure came out of the darkness in front of the gate, and Ah Da was firmly in his arms.
Ah Da barely opened his eyes, and the eyebrows that were gathered together gradually relaxed, "Master! ”
"Who hurt you like this!" Cao Wuxian's face was extremely hideous. This afternoon, Zhu Yujiao was summoned to the palace, but she has not come back until now, Cao Wuxian was not relieved, and sent someone to wait outside the palace gate, not to mention, he was also waiting in front of the Taoist temple, but he did not expect, but he waited for the seriously injured Ah Da.
"Master, let's go, take Your Highness and leave, Nanjing, Nanjing is going to be in chaos!"
Cao Wuxian's eyes were dizzy, "Make it clear, why mess up?" What the hell is going on! Who hurt you like this? ”
Ah Da was already angry, struggling to hand over the bloodstained burden in his arms to Cao Wuxian, and his hands hung down heavily.
Cao Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and the package fell to the ground, and there were more than two catties of black tea foam inside, and as the package landed, the tea foam also scattered all over the ground.
Wang Pin galloped with people, and saw Cao Wuxian sitting in the middle of the road with Ah Da in his arms, and hurriedly reined in the horse's reins.
Wang Pin looked at Ah Da, who had already lost his breath, and Xiao Ran said: "If I knew that he was coming to you, I would never have let out arrows to stop him!" ”
Cao Wuxian slowly put Ah Da's body on the ground, slowly stood up, and stared at Wang Pin with a pair of cold eyes.
"If you want to seek revenge on me, just make a move, I have nothing to say!" Wang Pin said.
But Cao Wuxian said word by word: "Your life is mine, and I will look for you sooner or later." But now, I still have something to do, I'm going to the palace! (To be continued......) R1292
