Chapter 376: Marquis of Wuyi
Could it be that the Marquis of Wuyi surrendered to King Zhuang?
Thinking about it, Peng Mo shook his head, even if he was obedient, he didn't dare to use it with confidence according to King Zhuang's temperament!
Si Yue noticed Peng Mo's gaze and said, "Master wants to go in here?" said and raised his head and glanced at the closed door.
Peng Mo's footsteps did not stop, and under the hood, his red lips outlined an arc: "I want the people inside to come out." ”
I came to a teahouse around the corner, sat down in front of the window, and simply asked for refreshments.
"Send this to the Marquis of Wuyi's mansion. Peng Mo took out a neat stack of coarse paper from his sleeve, pushed it from the table to Si Yue's hand, and then his eyes fell on the little beggar who walked in front of the teahouse.
Si Yue understood, took the coarse paper, went out of the teahouse and followed the little beggar closely, and saw that people had entered a secluded alley, and only then did he open his mouth to stop him when he saw that there was no one around.
In front of the Marquis of Wuyi's mansion, a little beggar knocked on the closed door with a piece of coarse paper.
A housekeeper came out, kicked the beggar down, and shouted, "Get out, don't look at what place this is?"
The little beggar turned pale with fright, stood up tremblingly, threw the coarse paper in his hand on the ground, and shouted as he ran: "Someone asked me to give this to the Marquis of Wuyi." After saying that, the people ran away.
Jiading picked up the paper, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was just a pattern printed on a piece of ink, but there was a "Wu" character in the middle of the pattern.
Jiading's heart jumped, thinking of the martial king in prison, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly found the housekeeper.
After Wu Yihou got the paper for half an hour, he looked at it and said hurriedly: "Who sent this?
The family remembered the little beggar who had been kicked and knew that he had done a bad job, so he dared to tell the truth? ”
When the Marquis of Wuyi heard this, he jumped up. "Go and find it, you must find this beggar for me!"
The housekeeper was busy and was about to go, and after walking a few steps, he was called back by the Marquis of Wuyi, and said in a deep voice: "Quietly!
The housekeeper knew the severity, and he was busy saying yes, and when he got out of the study, he called out to the proper housekeeper and hurried to find someone.
In the study, the Marquis of Wuyi rubbed the patterns on the paper, and his vicissitudes of life were full of unwillingness.
He recognized that this was the pattern of the martial king Yu Pei, and then thought of his grandson who was suffering in prison, and his heart was pinched.
Compared with the anxious and anxious Marquis of Wuyi, Peng Mo seemed very indifferent, wandering in and out of various streets and alleys.
As the saying goes, the lower the bottom, the more you can hear the truth, and this is true.
It wasn't until dusk that the three of them returned to the inn, had a simple meal, and then rested separately.
The next day, after she freshened up, she called Si Yue: "Did the Marquis of Wuyi make any moves yesterday?"
Si Yue replied: "There is no big movement, but I quietly sent someone to find a beggar." ”
Secretly, that means that you don't dare to alarm King Zhuang! Peng Mo smiled and handed the paper on the dresser to Si Yue: "This one is still being sent, but don't show up for the time being." ”
Si Yue nodded and went.
After searching all night, the housekeeper found nothing, and the Marquis of Wuyi sighed deeply after hearing this, and said dejectedly: "Gather everyone back, since he doesn't want to be found, let's wait quietly." ”
The butler nodded yes. Marquis Wuyi pushed open the door of the study, and at a glance he saw the neatly folded coarse paper on the desk.
An astonishing light burst out from his cloudy eyes, and he approached in three steps and two steps, grabbed the coarse paper, and opened it to reveal the same pattern.
However, this time this coarse paper is different from yesterday's, in addition to the pattern, there are also a few words attached.
See you at Shuyue Teahouse!
The Marquis of Wuyi did not delay for a moment and went straight to the teahouse.
In the restaurant opposite Shuyue Teahouse, on the second floor near the window, a window opened a crack, Liuying looked at the Wuyi Marquis sitting downstairs opposite, frowned and said, "Why did the master choose Shuyue Teahouse?"
"Because that's the property of the Marquis of Wuyi. Si Yue replied instead of Peng Mo.
Peng Mo grabbed a piece of fish and ate it, and when he heard this, he raised his head and gave Si Yue an appreciative look.
Liuying nodded, and suddenly remembered that she heard a discussion on the street yesterday, saying that this Shuyue teahouse belonged to the Marquis of Wuyi!
He glanced at the elegantly decorated but empty lobby again, and pouted: "A marquis is too bad at business, and there are no guests." ”
"Again, there wasn't a single guest. Si Yue stuffed a mouthful of food and craned her neck to look at it.
Peng Mo looked at the two of them and explained, "There are no guests because everyone wants to draw a line with the Marquis of Wuyi. ”
Liuying stared, puzzled: "Why?"
"Because of the new emperor's suppression!"
In the teahouse, the Marquis of Wuyi had waited from sunrise to sunset, but he still couldn't see the person who passed him the paper.
The butler's legs and feet were numb, he looked at the sky, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, let's go back, maybe it's just a prank of whom!"
Since the fall of King Wu and the accession of King Zhuang to the throne, the Marquis of Wuyi has been ridiculed and ridiculed by many people openly and secretly, and those two pieces of paper may also be a farce!
The Marquis of Wuyi did not speak, and drank the tea that was already cold in the cup in one gulp.
At that time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse came to the Marquis of Wuyi with a hunched waist, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Hou, do you want to add a new pot of tea?"
The butler nodded, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ordered people to prepare, and in a moment, a few plates of snacks and a pot of hot tea were served.
Peng Mo walked in and saw such a scene.
Marquis Wuyi looked up, and outside the threshold of the teahouse, there was a very thin man with a hood covering half of his face.
It was completely dark, he didn't all walk in, and the light in the teahouse was not enough to illuminate him clearly, Wuyi Hou squinted his eyes and looked at it fixedly.
His head turned slightly, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the shopkeeper and Xiao Er behind the counter.
The Marquis of Wuyi suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take the shopkeeper and Xiao Er to the backyard.
There was only one person left in the lobby, and Si Yue walked in, and with a wave of his hand, he extinguished a few lights and candles in the lobby.
Marquis Wuyi pretended to be calm and looked at the only light and candle on the corner of the table, then looked at the three men who walked in, and said, "Your Excellency invited me to come?" The words were very calm, but the hand on his lap was secretly clenched.
Five steps away from the Marquis of Wuyi, Peng Mo stopped, and Liuying hurriedly moved a stool and placed it behind her.
Peng Mo sat down, his eyes under the hood quietly looking in the direction of the Marquis of Wuyi.
He sat at the junction of light and darkness, and the sense of oppression that emanated from his body made the Marquis of Wuyi frown.
has been on the battlefield for many years, officialdom for many years, and no one has ever given him this kind of coercion!
Not even the dead kings and the current kings!
Hiding his frustration, he asked again, "Your Excellency invited me here?" and as he spoke, he took out two pieces of coarse paper in his arms.
Peng Mo's eyes fell on the paper, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
The Marquis of Wuyi's eyes widened, this... She's... It's a woman!
But it was only for a moment, he put away his shock, looked at the pattern on the paper again, and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency's intentions are?"
Peng Mo was very satisfied with the composure of the Marquis of Wuyi, and smiled: "Naturally, he is the person you want to save the most!"
Wu Yihou's whole person was about to jump up, staring at Peng Mo with a pair of eyes shining vividly, licking his dry lips with his tongue, and asked cautiously and hopefully: "Do you have a way?"
Since King Wu lost power and was imprisoned, he tried his best to rescue him as soon as possible, but King Zhuang's suppression of him made him an eagle with clipped wings and a beast locked in a cage.
"Of course!" Peng Mo quietly looked at the excited appearance of the Marquis of Wuyi, and put down the only trace of doubt left in his heart, at least he was not a person from King Zhuang!
smiled and said slowly: "It depends on whether Master Hou has the courage to follow me to do this big thing!" Now she only needs to convince him, and she can rescue the third brother!
"I.... The Marquis of Wuyi was stunned, and most of the light in his eyes was extinguished, if he wanted to forcibly rescue the King of Wu, he would have to bear the name of rebellion.
Peng Mo was not surprised by the hesitation of the Marquis of Wuyi, and asked with a sarcastic smile: "The taste of the suppression of the Marquis of Wuyi's mansion, hasn't the Hou Ye tasted enough?"
"When will King Zhuang get tired of this game of cat and mouse? At that time, Hou Ye guessed, will King Zhuang kill you?"
"Master Hou hasn't been in prison yet, right? The Martial King in prison is really miserable!"
A soft voice, a fast speaking speed, and a sense of oppression that is pressing step by step.
Wuyi Hou's face was pale, the green tendons in the corners of his forehead flared up, he clenched his fists and roared, "Don't say it again." ”
Peng Mo was silent, his red lips were slightly hooked, and his face was determined to win!
With a sigh of relief, the Marquis of Wuyi said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me about your plan!"
"Win in chaos!" Peng Mo replied succinctly.
After hearing this, the Marquis of Wuyi's eyes were uncertain, he was silent for a moment, and frowned: "I don't understand, please make it clear to Your Excellency." ”
Is this woman in front of him trustworthy? Thinking about it, his eyes fell on the pattern on the rough paper, the person who the Martial King can entrust the jade pendant should be able to be trusted!
Peng Mo didn't think that the Marquis of Wuyi didn't understand, but he was afraid that he pretended not to understand!
Knowing that he still had doubts about her in his heart, he also wanted to see the odds of winning or losing this matter.
Without answering his question immediately, she turned to say, "What does Master Hou think of the current king?"
The Marquis of Wuyi frowned: "Brutal, too suspicious." ”
"Yes, looking at the blood flowing in the past year, you can know how brutal King Zhuang is to devour blood!" Seeing that the Marquis of Wuyi changed his expression, Peng Mo smiled and asked again: "What does the Marquis think of the current court?"
"The surface is condensed, but in fact it is fragmented. The Marquis of Wuyi looked at her as he spoke, not understanding why she was asking such inconsequential topics.
Peng Mo said with an epiphany: "It turns out that the Marquis of Wuyi is now living a frightened and hopeless life!"
Wuyi Hou's face turned pale, his lips squirmed, and he said with difficulty: "Yes." ”
What are you still hesitating about? If you want to live, King Wu is the only hope!
Peng Mo nodded with satisfaction, and asked the words that had been circling in his heart for a long time: "Imperial court, if you are asked to pry a hole out, can you do it?"
When he said this, Peng Mo's eyes lit up, and he stared at the Marquis of Wuyi for a moment.
This is the key to whether she can rescue the third brother and them!
An undercurrent surged in the eyes of the Marquis of Wuyi, and he squinted and asked, "What do you mean!"
Peng Mo leaned in slightly, and his voice was low: "We have to use soldiers!" If you want to act, the secret guard can be used, but you can't use all of them!
Therefore, this requires the Marquis of Wuyi to find soldiers to use!
