Chapter 800: The moon is dark and the wind is high
Xu Liang said in shock: "Who can be a traitor?" It must be the people of the internal guard, and women are the most unreliable! ”
Huang Xuchang is a person of Baicai, and he also has an instinctive trust and protection for Baicai, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, it must be the people of the internal guard, we Baiqi these people are all brothers who were born and died together, and they were traitors and killed the king of Luling, then none of our brothers can live, and no one will harm their brothers like this!" ”
Yang Fan said slowly: "Who the traitor is, I don't know yet, before we determine who the traitor is, everyone is suspicious, you and I must not have a preconceived idea, this will blind our eyes!" ”
Huang Xuchang and Xu Liang slowly woke up from their excitement and answered yes.
Yang Fan said in a deep voice: "Tonight's matter, let's deal with the past first, and next, the most important thing we have to do is to find out the traitor, otherwise we don't want to return to the capital alive, and if we go north, it will be more and more dangerous." So from now on, in all our actions, I will tell you only a few of the most trustworthy people. ”
Xu Liang said strangely: "Since the captain has noticed that there is a mole, how can he be sure that the two of us must be reliable?" ”
Yang Fan said: "It's very simple, because along the way, the two of you have been guarding the King of Luling every step of the way, including when I left you to intercept the pursuers, if one of you had ill intentions towards the King of Luling, you would have done it a long time ago." ”
Yang Fan flexed his fingers and calculated one by one: "I can trust Gao Ying and Lan Yiqing, these two girls, it was the two of them who supported King Luling to come down from the mountain, if they wanted to be unfavorable to King Luling, they could have done it a long time ago."
The few hundred horsemen and internal guards who protected them down the mountain at that time, after tonight, you can make a list for me, these people can also be trusted, otherwise they only need to make a little noise on purpose. Alarm the defenders on the hill and it will not be easy for us to flee.
Again, the ancient girl can be trusted, otherwise she doesn't need to tell me what she has discovered, if we are completely unsuspecting, even if there is a guard at night, and the assassins are unprepared, we will not be able to resist ......"
Yang Fan had obviously calculated carefully, and it was methodical and reasonable, and Huang Xuchang and Xu Liang nodded frequently when they heard it.
Yang Fan finished counting and said, "These people." You can tell them in advance that there are traitors, so that they can strengthen their vigilance against others, if they are close to protect the king of Luling and ...... If there is someone from the small county lord who is not one of these people, you must find a way to transfer it and replace it with the most reliable person! ”
The two nodded in agreement.
Yang Fan said again: "The next words." I'll tell you first, and then I'll go to Miss Gao Ying. Tell her the same thing. You know your men best. What to keep an important note on when monitoring and guarding against others......"
Yang Fan glanced at the two of them and said word by word: "It is those people with average family backgrounds and small populations, who can easily disappear without a trace!" ”
Although Huang Xuchang and Xu Liang are martial artists and have a rough temperament, they have been officials for a long time. They are by no means stupid people who only understand force and do not know the slightest scheming, as soon as Yang Fan said it, they understood.
The situation faced by King Luling's return to Beijing was unprecedentedly complicated, because the Shili of the Wu Zhou Dynasty was too chaotic and there were too many factions. Wu Zetian also knows this very well. But she can't rectify the Wu clan, and now she doesn't have the energy to rectify the Wu clan again.
In order to ensure that her son can return to Beijing safely, she can only make the return of King Luling, and the escorts are all meritorious; King Luling died, and the decision to guard the personnel to behead them one by one to ensure the implementation of the emperor's order.
In this way, those hundred horsemen and internal guards who have large families and cannot easily "disappear" from the people are unlikely to be bought. On the contrary, those guards who did not have many family members, after receiving a large amount of benefits and burying the life of King Luling, it was easy to flee the capital, change their names and surnames, and enjoy Qingfu elsewhere. Therefore, if there is a traitor, such a person with a family background is the most suspicious.
Huang Xuchang and Xu Liang nodded in agreement, and Yang Fan instructed them again, and then got up and left to find Gao Ying.
In the room on the right, Li Bao'er stood barefoot at the door, her ears pressed against the door. After Yang Fan left, she straightened up slightly, thought about it seriously, and crept onto the bed. After a while, she came down again, flipped through the coat she had taken off, found the sheathed dagger that Gao Ying gave her for self-defense, returned to the bed, hugged the dagger to her chest, and then fell asleep peacefully.
Yang Fan walked all the way, his steps heavy.
The Assassin's case had already left him with a heavy psychological baggage, and the presence of a traitor made him even more worried.
Moles are hard to dig, but they must be dug up! If this traitor is not found out, once he crosses the Funiu Mountain and enters Togi Province, it will be even more dangerous, because the people of the Wu family attach special importance to the development of their shili in the Gyeonggi area, and the main shili of the Wu family is precisely concentrated in this area. Returning to Beijing with a traitor is tantamount to going to the tiger's den in Longtan.
But how easy is it to find this spy hidden in the hundred horsemen or inner guards? If you startle the snake, it will be difficult to dig up this spy, and let too many people know that there is a traitor among them, everyone is suspicious, and they can't sleep at night, I'm afraid they won't stay up for long, and the whole team will have to collapse without the help of foreign enemies.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Late at night, in the back house of Liangfu, a group of night walkers sneaked together, the house was lit with lights, and a quilt was hung on the window to prevent the lights from reflecting out.
The white-haired, wrinkled old steward of the Liang Mansion sat in the corner, looking at them with hatred, but he had no choice, he was an old man, he couldn't help this group of strongmen at all, their family stayed in this house, and now his wife and son, daughter-in-law and little granddaughter all fell into the hands of this group of people, and he couldn't resist.
The group of people who came in the afternoon met the conditions that these people said, and they didn't know who they were, and they were going to deal with that famous man in Qianzhong. Old Steward Liang deliberately made an unkind appearance and asked the group of people to cook by themselves, hoping that they could detect that something was wrong from the dishes in the kitchen that they had not had time to clean.
Old Steward Liang thought about it, and sighed secretly: "I hope they will be vigilant and get out of the big trouble!" My old man has eaten fast and recited Buddha all his life, and if they die here, my old man will have done a great sin. ”
"Ready to go! Li Feng, Liu Ruoyu, Sima Shao, Wen Lin! ”
The four people who called their names took a step forward and said in a low voice: "The subordinates are here!" ”
The leader said, "You four, be responsible for cutting off their patrol posts on the roof, and you must kill them with one blow!" ”
"Yes!"
Old Steward Liang is a figure who has seen the world, and when he saw the style of this group of people, he couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be that they are in the army?" Look at their words and actions, they look like soldiers! ”
The leader turned to the others again: "Chen Guang, Kestan, Fang Ziyu, Xingsu!" ”
Four more people stepped forward and said, "Here!" ”
The leader said, "You four, each lead his own men to prepare, and as soon as they succeed, you will rush out immediately, and as a result, you may entangle the guards who are patrolling in front of and behind the man's house!" ”
These four people don't look like soldiers, among them, Kestan's face is clearly a Kunlun slave, and that Xingsu is wearing a Taoist robe and a bun, and the old steward Liang is confused again: "Could it be that I made a mistake in judgment?" ”
In fact, Liang Lao was really not mistaken, the previous four people were indeed in the army, the best at arrows, and all of them had the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, but this second batch of four people was Wu Sansi and Wu Yizong's generals, hired people in the rivers and lakes, and people who were good at personal skills and fighting.
The leader was not tall in stature, but he was extremely sturdy, with broad shoulders and a thick back, and was as majestic as a mountain. What is particularly striking is his hood and beard, thick as ink, roots like halberds, which looks extremely powerful, and the weapons used by this person are also extremely rare, and the hand is actually a pair of wheel giant axes, the back of the axe is heavy, and the blade of the axe is cold and flashing.
This person's surname is Huo, named Huo Qilin, is the first samurai in the guard class of Wu Sansi's house, this person is also good at sumo wrestling and wrestling, in the past years in the army when he was in the limelight, he was in the limelight at that time, and the first sumo wrestler in the army at that time Chu Crazy Song competed, a move was defeated, and then was favored by Wu Sansi, and was recruited into the house.
Huo Qilin said to the rest of the people: "After you enter the East Cross Courtyard, immediately kill each house separately, take advantage of their unpreparedness, kill those guards, the bigger the chaos is created, the better, Huo will take five people, go straight to that person's residence, and take his head!" Once it is successful, you and I will all enjoy the glory and wealth inexhaustibly, and it will be easy to be a high-ranking official and general! ”
Huo Qilin arranged a clever subordinate to dress up as a servant of the Liang Mansion in advance, and took the opportunity to send bedding to Yang Fan and others, and had already understood the accommodation arrangements of everyone in the East Cross Courtyard very carefully, and arranged them one by one at the moment, in an orderly manner.
Liang Lao steward Mo looks old, his mind is not confused, he is already cold in his heart when he hears this, he knows that it is bad, although he doesn't know what the origin of these people is, but since he said that once this matter is done, he can enjoy the wealth and glory, and even be an official, he knows that these people will never allow his family to live anymore.
Old Steward Liang was secretly frightened in his heart, and immediately took advantage of everyone's deliberations, quietly touched the door, Old Steward Liang arrived at the door, turned around suddenly, and ran out with his feet, not wanting Huo Qilin to see his movements in his eyes, when Old Steward Liang turned around, Huo Qilin raised his hand violently, and the wheel giant axe in his hand really turned into a shining light wheel, whistling and flying away.
The old steward Liang ran out of the door, and before he could open his mouth to call for help, the giant axe rolled up in the air, whistling and sweeping over his neck, and in the rain of blood, the big axe continued to fly forward, cutting into the trunk of a big tree in the court with a "tuk", and the corpse of the old steward Liang was separated, and he fell in a pool of blood with a "porphyry".
Huo Qilin sneered, and coldly ordered one of his subordinates: "This family is useless, kill them all!" ”
The man nodded fiercely, and slammed his knife straight into the back house.
Huo Qilin waved his hand vigorously and said, "Let's go!" ”
At this time, someone had already run to pull out the giant axe, brought it back and held it in front of him, Huo Qilin lifted the bloody big axe, laughed cruelly, and strode out!
