Chapter Eighty-Eight: Three Thousand People

Hongyue said that the palace had already called Gu Chongwu the king and His Majesty. Meng Yining said dissatisfied.

Le Yi leaned against the wall and ate the half-eaten apple in his hand: "That's as it should be, besides, you don't care what he does." ”

Today's sun shone warmly on the two of them, and they chatted in the private room in the teahouse next to the city gate. "Your sister wrote to tell her about their plan, how is it, is she more thoughtful than you?"

"Yes......" Meng Yining, who had slept enough, was still a little confused, staring at the city tower in circles. She looked at the people who were coming and going, "People should be coming soon, how many people do they say?" ”

"Three thousand." Le Yi replied.

"Not enough, not enough," she muttered. There are 10,000 forbidden troops in the city, how to fight? I always felt that it was not properly arranged. ”

"Three thousand people are enough to squeeze into the city, how do you say to hide? Besides, it's not a desperate attempt to seize the palace, as soon as Gu Shizi appears, this play will end. It's not in the playbook, someone rebelled. Le Yi smiled.

"Yes, yes, I'll have to go to the palace and keep an eye on it."

"I'll be with you." There was a hint of concern in his words.

Meng Yining shook his head: "You are with the Fenghua County Lord, after all, you have to cooperate with the inside and outside, if there is something at the city gate, you can also deal with it first." Did you tell them? He said casually, and before Le Yi could answer, a knock sounded on the door.

She turned back and asked, "Who?" ”

"Relatives from the northwest came to the city to find my sister and cousin." Outside the door was a mature voice.

Yo, Xia Fenghua sent someone. Meng Yining got up to open the door, and saw a middle-aged man wearing an inconspicuous khaki robe and nodded. The man's dark skin and rough palm took the teacup she handed him, and he drank it all with his head up. Wiping his mouth with his sleeve and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm a rough person." I arrived quickly, and the water was drunk, and I was really thirsty. ”

The two smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." When are you going to enter the city? ”

"In the past few days, two or three hundred people have arrived before sunset today. Now that the city gate is tightened, suddenly and inexplicably many people enter the city, which will definitely arouse suspicion. And even if you can get in, you can't get knives or spears. After all, so many people are mixed in, and it is easy to be noticed. ”

"Do you have any other way?"

"The county lord is also worried about this matter, and asks if you have any other way." The man smiled and filled another mouthful of water.

Le Yi and Meng Yining glanced at each other. These 3,000 people can be found in the city, and even the empty Shizifu can live in people. But how to sneak in and hold weapons is really a big deal. "A hundred can be called two hundred...... But if 200 people are called 500, isn't that too much? 500 people a day...... A thousand people in two days......" she muttered.

Le Yi thought strangely, "What did you say?" ”

"Red and white ceremonies, there are many people."

Meng Yining thought for a while, supported his head with his right hand and said, "Can you run for funeral?" ”

"Whose mourning is it?" Le Yi asked.

She smiled and took out a jade pendant, which was given to her by Zhang Ji before leaving, as long as she saw this token, the Zhang family would listen to this person. At that time, Zhang Ji put it in Meng Yining's palm heavily, which was a great trust and right. But half a month ago, she thought that she would not use this jade pendant, after all, Zhang Ji had no soldiers and horses at home, and there were no weapons. But I forgot that this is an extremely large mansion, the second largest courtyard except for the Zhao family, layered and twisted. There were more than 1,000 people inside and out.

"Let's go, go to Zhang's Mansion!"

The two wrapped up their clothes and took a shortcut all the way from the city tower to the huge Zhang Mansion. The vermilion wall can't be seen, but there is a trace of tranquility and longevity in the style under the blue sky and white clouds. Zhang Ji said that he had been ill for many days, and the people who came to visit him in the past few months had also eaten the closed door and gradually became sparse.

Meng Yining coughed lightly, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the jade pendant.

The guard guarding the door had an idea, and hurriedly went to ask the butler. The housekeeper politely walked out, saw two strange figures, and said with a smile: "Please, please, please." ”

There are three main roads in Zhangfu: east, middle and west. Each road is composed of a number of quadrangle courtyards running from south to north. The turquoise glazed tiles are majestic. As soon as I entered the mansion and walked around for a hundred steps, I saw a library standing tall in the middle, and you could condescendingly enjoy the beautiful panorama of the mansion. There are many rockeries in the courtyard, all of which are made of Fangshan stones. There is a pine and cypress pavilion on the mountain, and there is a pond at the bottom of the mountain. If summer comes, the garden will be full of flowers, and the fragrance will be quiet.

The maids came and went, in an orderly manner, as if Zhang Ji was still recuperating in the house.

The housekeeper poured two cups of hot tea into the main hall of the middle road and dismissed a group of people. He asked, "Dare to ask the two of you, what is the important matter to discuss?" ”

Meng Yining lowered her eyes, rubbed her fingers against the jade pendant, and replied straight to the point: "Ji Lao will be back in two days." We do, too, and need your help. ”

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate."

She nodded, "Okay." There are two things I need to do. Meng Yining paused and observed his face: "One, I don't care who it is, I want to mourn." Two, I need people to mourn. ”

The man's expression changed slightly, and he regained his composure: "Dare to ask, why is this?" ”

"There are a lot of people who take care of Ji Lao, I'm afraid...... They can't get in. ”

The butler thought about it for a while and nodded slowly, "This needs to be prepared." ”

Meng Yining shook the cup in his hand and said calmly: "There are only two days. first came to the house to mourn a group of people, and then carried the coffin out of the city for another group of people. Can? ”

Although the butler looked difficult, he knew the importance of the matter. Fingers tapped on the table, and a half-ringing reply, "But." ”

Meng Yining breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair, and relaxed her voice: "That's good, please." ”

"Do your best."

Le Yi didn't say a word just now, and carefully observed Meng Yining's firm expression beside him. When he entered, he saw the library and wondered if he could see the palace if he had reached the top. He came out loud and asked, "How tall is that building?" ”

The butler replied, "About three feet." He knew what Le Yi was thinking, and added: "This is the pavilion and tower in this city, and no one is allowed to spy on the palace." Moreover, the terrain of the royal palace is much higher than here, and the walls of the palace are definitely invisible. ”

"It doesn't matter." Le Yi smiled again, and his mind turned, "Just see it in the city." "If you scatter people around the city, you will be suspicious if you use signals such as fireworks, but it is much easier to use this building to indicate that everyone can see it.

Meng Yining glanced at him: "Hey, are you unable to get along with the fire?" I want to burn it again! ”
