Chapter 140: Undercurrent
"You!" Wang Yun clenched her jade teeth but couldn't speak, she knew that if she continued to argue at this moment, then what was waiting for her would not be a good fruit. Text┡ Scholar Ω.*
In the blink of an eye, Wang Yan seemed to be a different person, and his subordinates who were peeping in the room hurriedly closed the doors and windows.
Cui'er wanted to speak, but Ping'er covered her mouth.
"What are you still standing here? Hurry back to the house! Wang Yan glared at the dyed immortal dao.
Dye Xian glanced up at Wang Yan, a little aggrieved, but he still honestly turned around and went back to his room.
Wang Yan carried Wang Yun into her bedroom before putting her down.
"Get out of here!" Wang Yun said mercilessly.
Wang Yan's expression was as usual, staring at Wang Yundao.
"There are still three days before Liu Tang's birthday banquet, and in these three days, you will stay in the house honestly and are not allowed to go anywhere." After Wang Yan finished speaking, regardless of Wang Yun's angry expression, he turned to Cui'er and Ping'er.
"You two are optimistic about her, if something happens to her, I will punish you two severely!"
"Wang Yan! If you have something coming at me, don't embarrass them! ”
Wang Yan ignored Wang Yun and turned around and walked out of the bedroom!
"Wang Yan! You bastard! Wang Yun shouted at the bedroom door, but unfortunately there was a heavy sound of the door closing.
Wang Yun sat back in the chair, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she fell on the table and sobbed.
Cui'er, Ping'er approached the young lady and began to comfort her.
Wang Yan went out and took a few deep breaths to find Zhang San.
Zhang San heard movement outside, went out to take a look, and saw that it was Wang Yan and Wang Yun who were arguing, so he retreated into the house.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock at the door.
"Brother Zhang, is it convenient to speak?"
Zhang San opened the door and invited Wang Yan into the house.
"Brother Zhang, can you inquire clearly?"
Zhang San shook his head and said.
"Back to the head, the second floor is a force called Ice Condensation City, the people who live there are all women, and the rest don't know anything, our people are squatting at the door, and they haven't seen them leave the inn.
Wang Yan nodded, he thought it was Wufeng Pavilion, but he didn't expect it to be a new force, Ice Condensation City, the name is good, but I don't know what kind of organization it is.
In the afternoon, the men who collected the intelligence returned, and the scrolls containing the information were piled up on the table, and the reconnaissance revealed a total of more than a dozen forces, ranging in size from a hundred to a few.
That's nearly twice as many as last year's gift-giving.
What Wang Yan is worried about now is whether there are any forces like himself who have the same idea of fighting Liu Tang again, and the only opportunity is that when he goes out to worship his ancestors, it is inevitable that he will not bump into each other.
I can only strengthen the vigilance, and later in the evening, a secret report came from outside the city, the secret passage has been dug, and everything is ready!
Wang Yan took the copper basin and threw the secret letter and the collected information into the fire...
Things are more complicated than expected, there can be no luck, Ning Hong'er became a hostage and was held in the hands of the ghost queen, it is not pleasant to think about it.
I didn't sleep all night, and it wasn't until the next day that Wang Yan fell asleep tiredly.
In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Tang is frolicking in the back garden with his new concubine in his arms at the moment.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the door, and the person who came was wearing brown armor, and in the middle of the armor, a leopard character was embroidered with silver thread, and walked in front of Liu Tang and hugged his fist.
"Lord Liu, Lord Sun came to visit, saying that he had something to discuss, and he was waiting in the front hall at the moment.!"
"Old thing, can't we wait until the end of Lao Tzu's birthday banquet to discuss? If you have to come here at this time to add to the blockage, you go to reply first, just say that I was cold yesterday, and it will take some time to get dressed and get up, let him wait in the front hall, if he is in a hurry to leave, don't stop you. ”
As soon as Liu Tang's words fell, there was a burst of laughter outside the moon gate.
"Lord Liu, isn't it a little unkind for you to fool the old man like this?"
Liu Tang's face sank, pushed the girl in his arms down, stood up, looked at the person and said with a displeased face.
"Master Sun wanders around my house so casually, aren't you afraid of bumping into the female relatives in my house who have broken the etiquette?"
The person who came was Sun Yingkang, the assassin of Xinzhou, and the division of power in the Liang has always been divided into civil and military, civil officials are not involved in the military, military attaches are not involved in political affairs, and they are divided into a state and a county.
The greater the weight of the civil officials above, and the greater the weight of the military attachés below, especially in some remote states and counties, such as Xinzhou, Pingzhou, and Liangzhou, the assassin envoy has almost become an ornament, and the state pastor has monopolized the power, because the military power is often greater than the political power in the far away place of the Tiangao Emperor.
Sun Yingkang, 40 years as an official, is now the year of the sixtieth year, in Xinzhou as an assassin for eight years, the former Xinzhou assassin fell into the water and drowned when he went out on an outing, although this matter is passed on like this, but the situation is seen by all discerning people, the former assassin surnamed Zheng, is an upright person, less than a year after taking office, he participated in Liu Tang more than ten books, but unfortunately these pieces did not reach the heavens, but in vain gave him his life, although the successor Sun Yingkang also had friction with Liu Tang but never participated in Liu Tang, the two have been at peace for more than ten years.
"Lord Liu's words are wrong, the old man is old, and he drank more water when he came, no, he was suddenly in a hurry, who knew that he was looking for the toilet to find it here, and he happened to hear Lord Liu's words, all of this was arranged by God." Sun Yingkang smiled with a hint of a thief.
"Liu was just a joke from a bigger person, and he was about to go to the front hall, but unfortunately you listened to the joke, which was really a misunderstanding." Although Liu Tang didn't put Sun Yingkang in his eyes, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, Sun Yingkang was different from the Zheng Assassin who was born in white before, Sun Yingkang's ancestral home was Luoyang, and there were people in the capital.
"The old man understands that Lord Liu will not be the vicious person, the old man came here today to hear some rumors, and he came to tell Lord Liu."
"The wind? What wind? ”
"Don't Lord Liu know that someone is planning to assassinate you when you worship your ancestors tomorrow?" Sun Yingkang said with a solemn face.
When it came to life, Liu Tang also became serious and said in a deep voice.
"Where did Master Sun hear this news?"
"My housekeeper went out to get medicine today, and when he came back, he saw a few people sneaking into a dark alley, and the housekeeper followed him curiously, and heard that they planned to assassinate Lord Liu tomorrow!" Sun Yingkang said solemnly.
Liu Tang turned around, his face was solemn, and he looked at Sun Yingkang out of the corner of his eye.
Why did this life-threatening news come from Sun Yingkang's mouth? You have to think about it carefully, the person who wants to die in Xinzhou the most, Sun Yingkang should be the first, he can take the opportunity to temporarily manage the military power of Xinzhou when he dies, and wait until the next state pastor comes, this Xinzhou government army has long been surnamed Sun, if someone really assassinates him, he should find a way to hide this matter instead of telling himself kindly, there must be fraud in it.
"Liu really hasn't gotten the news, so according to Lord Sun's opinion, how should Liu deal with it?"
"It's up to Lord Liu himself, if you insist on going out of the city, you have to bring more people!" Sun Yingkang said with a smile.
"Then thank you for the reminder." Liu Tang said with a smile.
Sun Yingkang stopped laughing when he heard this.
"It seems that Lord Liu insisted on going out of the city?"
"Exactly! Ancestor worship is a major event, Liu has not been interrupted for decades, and today's achievements are thanks to the protection of the ancestors. Liu Tang said with a smile, but he was snorting coldly in his heart.
Old fox, if I guessed it, I'm afraid your plan is not outside the city.
The two talked perfunctorily about each other's kung fu with a stick of incense, and Sun Yingkang retired.
Liu Tang said to the guards beside him.
"Draw 500 elites from the leopard camp and accompany me tomorrow, I want to see who dares to assassinate me!"
As soon as Liu Tang's words fell, there was a sound outside, and an orderly ran in from the moon gate.
"My lord, there are people outside the house who want to see you!"
"Who is it?"
"He said that he was the leader of the Yuanyang Juying gang, named Wang Yan!"
"Wang Yan?" Liu Tang had never heard of this name, but the organization of Juying was somewhat familiar.
"What is he here for? Do you want to give money? ”
"Lord Hui, he came alone, saying that it was tomorrow that Lord would worship his ancestors, and he wanted to protect him."
Guards sent to the door? Somewhat interesting, Liu Tang pinched the jade wrench on his left finger and said.
"Bring him here, and then draw ten people from the tiger guards guarding the front yard, I want to test this kid's strength!"
Wang Yan waited for half a pillar of incense in front of the door, and when he saw Sun Yingkang coming out of the door, he thought it was just a simple old man, until the guard said that the assassin made the adult walk slowly, and Wang Yan reacted that the old man who had just left was actually the Xinzhou assassin!
was pondering why the assassin envoy came to Liu Tang, and the guard who had just gone in to deliver the word came back.
"Gang Master, please come with me!"
Entering the gate of the State Pastoral Mansion, it was not too amazing, and the Biluo Palace of Wufeng Pavilion made too deep an impression on Wang Yan.
However, the scale of the state pastoral government is really not small! After passing through the ten gates, I came to a moon gate.
Before I could go inside, I heard a woman's voice coming from inside.
"Your Excellency, you're so bad..."
The sweet and greasy voice came into his ears, and Wang Yan shivered coldly.
The guard who led the team was embarrassed to go in and disturb, so he waited outside for half a pillar of incense, until the sound inside was heard, and then he went in to pass the word.
The winter of this era is colder than my own era, and I really admire the pair of men and women in the courtyard, who can fight in the field at this temperature, and I will definitely see what the two of them are wearing when I go in after a while.
Soon the guards returned.
"Gang Master Wang, Lord Liu will pass you in."
Wang Yan nodded, took out a gold leaf from his arms, and took the opportunity to stuff the leaf into the guard's belt.
Although the guard's expression was serious, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.
When I entered the moon gate, my eyes lit up! The arrangement of this garden is on the grade, not to mention the pavilions and pavilions, the plum blossoms in this courtyard are very gratifying, especially the plum blossoms hanging with snow, which are even more beautiful.
Wang Yan stepped forward and saluted with his fists.
"Lord Governor, please bow down to the boy!"
Liu Tang started to look at Wang Yan from the moment he entered the door, he thought he was a bearded man, but he didn't expect it to be a doll! This doll is actually going to defend herself! A trace of contempt suddenly rose in Liu Tang's heart.
"Little doll, are you yelling to protect me?"
"Exactly!" Wang Yan raised his head slowly as he spoke, and two fine lights shot out of his eyes.
The eyes of the girl panting in Liu Tang's arms lit up, although the young man in front of him looked immature, but he exuded a sense of arrogance, although he was hidden deeply, but he was still caught by the woman.
Liu Tang saw that Wang Yan was full of energy, and he despised burning in his heart, but he was not sure what his strength was, in case it was a fake trick.
At this moment, there was a sound outside the Moon Gate, and a team of gold-armored guards walked in with neat steps.
Wang Yan didn't turn his head, but the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
