Chapter 366: The Man Who Walks in the Dark
Wei Zhongxian's face was very gloomy after receiving Zhang Rang's letter and reading the above contents, he walked quickly to the Zhengde Palace where Ji Wen was sleeping, and informed Ji Wen, who had just fallen asleep, of the matter. Wei Zhongxian, who has served two generations of monarchs, naturally knows the priorities of the matter, like this matter has not only involved King Yizheng and Li Muzhi, but has also related to Dayan's face, how can he hide it and not report it?
Ji Wen was very uncomfortable when Wei Zhongxian called him in the middle of the night, but when he listened to Wei Zhongxian's report, his face became very gloomy. How could the thief be so bold and dare to go to the Li Mansion to plunder people, and the person who plundered was still Ji Qingchen's bride? However, it was only for a moment that Ji Wen thought that this matter might be related to the remnants of the "Iron Suit", maybe it still involved the secret guards of the Liguo and the Lingnan Yi clan in King's Landing.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered Wei Zhongxian, "You immediately go and make peace with Zhang Rang, he has been in charge of supervising the 'Iron Suit' and the Departure of the Country and the Lingnan Secret Guard in the past few years, and you assist him in handling this matter." β
Speaking of this, his tone was a little colder, "Also, you must find Master Li before dawn, you can't let Lao Jiu's wedding go wrong, if Lao Jiu's wedding goes wrong, he is not the only one who will lose face, and our Dayan's face will not be put anywhere." β
"No!" Hearing Ji Wen's order, Wei Zhongxian bowed down and strode away. The meeting place between him and Zhang Rang was at a manor house in King's Landing, which was a branch of the "Inner Factory" in King's Landing.
When Wei Zhongxian led the thirty masters of the Great Yan Secret Guard to this manor, Zhang Rang was already waiting for him.
When he saw six of the top ten worshippers around Zhang Rang, as well as the three hundred heavily armed "Dongchang" fans in the courtyard, Wei Zhongxian was shocked. He was not surprised by the strength of the "Inner Factory", which was not even one-tenth of the strength of the Great Yan Secret Guard in his opinion, but was surprised by Ji Qingchen's anger, because Ji Qingchen was not angry, it would be impossible for Zhang Rang to let the "Inner Factory" go out of the top ten offerings in King's Landing, and he would mobilize such a large number of people.
Wei Zhongxian is the intelligence leader of Dayan, and he was born in a secret guard.
Naturally, at a glance, I saw the poison behind the "inner factory" in the courtyard. But he's just a glimpse.
"This mission has a lot to stake, and I have to ask my godfather to have the power to assist my son!" When Zhang Rang saw Wei Zhongxian, he stepped forward and saluted, ignoring Wei Zhongxian's reaction after seeing the poison on his arrows. Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, facing Zhang Rang's shelf, he still had to have it.
"Your Majesty has already ordered, let the old slave fully assist you, you can do it with confidence!" Wei Zhongxian said slowly, "You can dispatch these thirty masters around me, but Your Majesty has also given an order to the old slave, be sure to find Master Li before dawn to ensure that the wedding can go on normally!" β
"Godfather, rest assured, His Royal Highness also gave a death order to the minions, let us find Miss Li before dawn." Zhang Rang said, seeing Wei Zhongxian nodding slightly, he moved his gaze to the thirty masters beside Wei Zhongxian. Sure enough, these people were dressed in black, their whole bodies exuded a cold murderous aura, and their temples were high up, and they looked like martial arts masters.
At this time, I saw the three fans striding up to Zhang Rang's side and whispering something. Zhang Rang's face changed several times, but he still held back the anger in his heart.
He said to Wei Zhongxian, "Godfather, according to the information of our secret guards, there are three strongholds of the enemy in King's Landing, but until now, it is not sure which stronghold Miss Li is hiding in, which is a bit difficult to do!" β
"Your Majesty asked me to assist you, you can give the order!" Wei Zhongxian said.
Zhang Rang pondered for a moment and said, "The godfather's thirty people are divided into two teams, and each of them leads a hundred 'inner factory' secret guards to exterminate the strongholds in the east of the city and the east and west, according to my estimate, the possibility of Tibetans in these two strongholds is very low, but in order to ensure that we do not have accidents when we rescue people in the third stronghold, we must attract attention to these two places." β
When Zhang Rang said this, he moved his gaze to Wei Zhongxian, wanting to see Wei Zhongxian's reaction. After all, his decision was to treat Wei Zhongxian's thirty people as bait.
"Yes!" Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, moved his gaze to the thirty masters behind him, and gave an order, Zhang Rangyou allocated one hundred to each of them and one person to lead the way, Wei Zhongxian gave an order, and the thirty people were divided into two teams, leading the two hundred people to quickly disappear into the manor.
"In addition to these three strongholds, there is also a secret liaison point for leaving the country in King's Landing, just outside King's Landing." Zhang Rang said in a deep voice, he was carefully wording, "I am going to lead six of the ten enshriners to the outside of the city, and the remaining one hundred people will be handed over to the godfather to deal with the third stronghold!" β
With Wei Zhongxian's strength, it is more than enough to lead a hundred people to destroy a stronghold.
"Good!" Wei Zhongxian said loudly, did not say anything more, but strode out of the manor, and Baibanzi and a secret guard who led the way followed closely behind him and disappeared into the manor.
At this time, there were only six of the ten major offerings left in the courtyard of the manor, namely Feng Tang, Shi Hu, Ning Shu, Zhou Zhi, Ma Wei and Su Yu.
These are the first six of the top ten offerings, and the remaining four are leading the "Inner Factory" secret guards to clean up the remnants of the "Iron Clothes" in the country and the Lingnan Yi clan and Xishu.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the three people that my father arranged just now are just for show, it is impossible to use them to find Miss Li, the enemy is not so stupid, since he dares to snatch people from the Li Mansion, he has already come up with a foolproof way to evade our search in King's Landing." Zhang Rang said in a cold tone, "The reason why they are asked to clear these three strongholds is that my father wants them to know that they should not offend His Highness and not despise the strength of our 'inner factory'. What's more, with them killing in King's Landing, they can attract the attention of our enemies and create time for us to find enemies. β
"As for how to find people, we will go to the Li Mansion immediately now, follow their tracks all the way, and we will definitely be able to find out their location." Zhang Rang said, "Because among us there are Ning Kill who is good at tracking skills, which no one knows." β
Speaking of this, Zhang Rang paused and said, "You have to remember, we only have two hours, if we can't find Miss Li before dawn, not to mention that Your Highness will know your sin, this father will not bypass you first!" β
When Zhang Rang said the last sentence, his tone was as cold as a knife, deeply rooted in the hearts of the six people present, except for Shi Hu, all of the six Zhang Rang got the "inner factory", and Zhang Rang was very in awe, everyone heard Zhang Rang say this, all of them were in a pang, and replied in unison, "No!" β
"Let's go-" Zhang Rang gave an order, and the six major worshippers followed closely by his side, and the seven of them left the manor.
β¦β¦
In the dimly lit room, as soon as Master Li woke up, he found that he was locked here, and there were two other people in the room besides her.
Master Li was a little panicked, but he still didn't shout.
Because in an instant she recalled the scene she had seen in her boudoir, before she fell asleep.
Master Li tried his best to suppress his fear, looked around the room he was in, and found that in addition to her, there were also two women in the room.
However, the two women were dressed in black and covered their faces with masks, so that she could not see their faces clearly. As for how she could be sure that the two were women, it was because she heard their conversation the moment she woke up.
Just as Master Li was thinking about whether to keep pretending like this, one of the women suddenly moved her gaze to her and said, "Awake?" Don't pretend to be when you wake up! β
"Who are you, and why are you arresting me!" Since the other party already knew that he was awake, Master Li did not pretend that he was not awake anymore, but asked.
"Hehe-" The woman burst out laughing when she heard Master Li's question, her laughter was full of sarcasm and ridicule, "Don't you know who we are?" Why arrest you, don't you understand? β
Master Li was at a loss, what did he know and what did he understand?
Seeing Master Li's dazed expression, the woman continued, "Do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand? As Ji Qingchen's woman, do you know how many people Ji Qingchen has offended as the king of Northern Liao? Do you know how many people want to kill him? There are people who want his life in Liguo, the eight clans of Lingnan, and Xishu, and even many people in Dayan are looking forward to his death. But his life is too hard, not to mention his martial arts, it is difficult for people to assassinate, and even the iron guards around him are not something we can deal with. Therefore, we can only find you, compared to Li Shu, you are the lack of guards around you. As a princess who has left the country, there are tigers and leopards riding by her side, and we can't move her, so we can only take your anger out on you. β
After the woman finished speaking, she stepped forward angrily, slapped Master Li, and continued to scold, "Don't have any extravagant hopes, even if Ji Qingchen wants to save you, he doesn't have this opportunity, we will take you out of Dayan to go to the Lingnan Yi tribe, where there are many mountain people living in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are very willing to spend a few taels of silver to buy a woman as their wife, we think it is the most suitable for you." β
"Youβyouβbeasts!" When Master Li heard the woman in black say her purpose, he was furious. She can't wait to die now, if she is really sold to the mountain people in Lingnan, she will lose Dayan's face, which will make Ji Qingchen lose face, and will make Dayan Li cover with shame.
But no matter how Master Li abused, the woman in black never opened her mouth again.
After a long time, he saw that Master Li was tired of scolding, and when he was crying in a low voice, he walked to her side again, and said sharply, "Since you chose to follow Ji Qingchen, you have to know the price you need to pay with her, you have not been relieved of your life, so you can only pay the price for Ji Qingchen's arrogance and insidious ruthlessness." β
"Don't have any extravagant hopes, he can't save it." The woman in black once again emphasized, "Because we are people who walk in the dark, no one is tracked by us who knows how to escape at night. β
