Chapter 714: Let's Move Together
The search continued until dawn.
The whole city is in a hurry, and even the people in the rivers and lakes who have always been bold are not rising to the top at this time.
There was a slight stir, and a large number of people such as the city guards and the Jinyi guards immediately quickly surrounded them like cats smelling fishy smells.
Usually, if there is such efficiency, how can anyone dare to make small moves in secret!
Actually, it's not necessarily true to say how dedicated they are. Most of them are just for example, and the inspection is not very careful.
I was pulled out of the warm quilt at night, and I have been busy until now, and my eyes are a little unable to open, and it is strange to have a good mood. What's more, most people don't dare to be too dedicated.
"My lord, it's not good for us to be seen if we are so unhurried."
"Xiao Xu is still young after all. You don't want to think about being able to assassinate those big pipes under the protection of the guards. The strength of the thieves can be seen from this.
Now it's best to pray that you don't touch the Assassins, otherwise, be careful that you have money to spend on it! ”
"Hiss~! For a while, I didn't expect this stubble, but it was still a hundred households and adults were wise. ”
"Xiao Xu is not bad, although he is not as good as me, it is rare to be able to realize this. Okay, without further ado, be cautious and continue searching. ”
A group of brocade guards complimented each other and quickly continued their search.
No one noticed that in the ordinary house just a room away from them, one of the culprits, the dwarf ninja, was on high alert. Always ready to burst out and kill.
It wasn't until I listened carefully and confirmed that the search was really just a perfunctory operation that I let my guard down.
However, not everyone is fully aware of the horror of the Assassins. Or maybe some people ignore it even if they realize it.
The emperor personally ordered that those who provided clues would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who caught the assassins would be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold! Catch the important enemy, at least a thousand taels of gold to start!
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that this is a great opportunity to brush up on the presence of the emperor.
The next morning, Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair with a black face. Before he could figure out who to find to vent his anger, the herald eunuch hurried in with an unopened letterbox.
100,000 was in a hurry, and the information sent back overnight made him explode in an instant.
"What! Many officials in coastal cities have also been assassinated!
Bastard! You can't even catch a few little assassins, what are you eating!
Three days, I will only give you three days. It can be torture or interrogation, or lynching. Whatever means are used to get out all the assassins for me in three days. ”
Because Zhu Yijun didn't pay attention to it, the capital and local officials were killed and injured countless overnight. The mastermind behind the scenes is definitely not an ordinary force, and it is very likely that the state-level forces are behind it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun barely suppressed his anger and ordered: "Uncle Huang, your Dragon Guardian Villa is full of talents. Send me someone to keep an eye on those foreign missions, and if I find out that anyone dares to plot evil......"
The fierce look in his eyes flashed, and he spit out a word loudly: "Kill!" ”
After that, Zhu Yijun brushed his sleeves and left. No one noticed his restlessness hidden behind his angry look. I hope things aren't what I think it is......
Almost all of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were worried about their lives. Although the imperial power is on the side, it is only inferior to those two powerful and powerful people.
Even Wei Zhongxian, who was not afraid of the emperor looking for trouble, also looked solemn at this time and hurried back to his residence.
As soon as he returned home, he immediately rushed to the East Factory and convened Cao Zhengchun and the major thousands of households, hundreds of households, and stall heads to discuss matters.
Downstairs, all the leaders of the East Factory who are usually powerful and prosperous are silent, for fear that one will accidentally annoy the angry boss in the upper seat.
Even so, Wei Zhongxian didn't let them go, and scolded: "A bunch of waste! You didn't even notice the slightest movement of such a big movement.
If one day our family and I are assassinated, it is possible that you will not find the slightest sign! What's the use of you shit! ”
After venting for a while, seeing that Wei Zhongxian's mood had stabilized slightly, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and turned the topic to business.
"Chitose, these assassins are extraordinary. The military department has always valued people in the rivers and lakes, and has always wanted to set up a special detachment composed of all warriors to carry out the task of breaking the fortification.
Therefore, there are often many good guards in his home.
Even so, no one found any trace of the Assassins. I'm afraid that this thief who is proficient in assassination is not inferior to top killers such as Lin Mengxingsoul and Zhongyuan Yihong. ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's not what I'm worried about. Overnight, more than 100 people in the capital and coastal areas lost their heads.
With such a big move, there is the strength to hide it from our Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but I am afraid that it can only be done by the same national-level force. ”
Cao Zhengchun said tentatively: "Master Chitose is suspicious, Dongying! ”
"That's right." Wei Zhongxian seems to have set his sights on Dongying.
"Dongying is lonely overseas, with inconvenient transportation and extreme xenophobia. The strength of our branch there is inevitably a little lacking.
A few days ago, wasn't that princess of Izumo Province hiding evil intentions? And except for the capital, only officials in the coastal zone have accidents. It's suspicious to think about it.
I'm afraid that they will take advantage of the chaos in the court to secretly disobey, and even offend my great prestige! ”
Cao Zhengchun feels that the situation is uncertain now, and he can't lock the target so as not to miss the real mastermind behind the scenes.
"Chitose Lord, according to intelligence, that island nation is in the midst of war. What Imagawa Yoshimoto, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others are fighting hard. I shouldn't have the heart to provoke our Ming Dynasty. ”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, touched his smooth chin and whispered to himself: "This is a problem. But if it weren't for Dongying, who would have the guts? It's not Goryeo!
No, although Fu Cailin is one of the three great masters in the world. But Goryeo has been weak for a long time, and it has no strength to support a big war.
Could it be that the northern Mongols want to invade the south! Temujin is known as Genghis Khan, and he is indeed a big threat, but there is Guo Jing to guard Xiangyang...... Guo Jing! ”
Wei Zhongxian was suddenly startled, and then he realized that because of the relationship between the world's No. 1 martial arts conference, Guo Jing and Huang Rong both came to the capital.
At this time, the Xiangyang Heavy Land was only guarded by those mediocre officials. In front of the Mongol army, it was simply vulnerable!
The more he thought about Wei Zhongxian, he felt that Mongolia was the most suspicious, and he thought of Mongolia where the country was flourishing and the cavalry troops were the best in the world. I couldn't sit still.
"Zhengchun, you immediately ordered Zhenbei Qianhu to keep a close eye on Mongolia's every move. At the same time, they sent experts to spy on the Mongol mission.
Remember, just watch the movements of those subordinates, and don't keep an eye on Phags-pa and the Golden Wheel, lest they detect anything. ”
After hesitating, Wei Zhongxian added: "Also, Dongying's suspicion is also very big. If the country does not exist, the skin will be attached. In the end, we are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and at this critical moment of national disaster, we will not let go of mistakes! ”
In order to ensure that there are enough manpower, Wei Zhongxian rarely let go of his prejudices and share the information with Jinyiwei.
In general, Wei Zhongxian is still very keen on the analysis of the situation, although the object of speculation is a little wrong. However, he is also wrong.
Originally, the two great powers of Mongolia were all here, but they were just going to come to investigate and see the current strength of the Ming Dynasty. But now that they've got the information, things have gone sour.
The residence of the Mongolian mission, Phags-pa and His Holiness the Golden Wheel were also discussing this important event that shocked the world.
"Phag-pa, are you sure the source is correct? Is what the captured assassin said true? ”
The Golden Wheel Dharma King had a little excitement on his face, and he lost the true intention of not being happy or sad about the Buddha's door, and coming and going calmly. If the deceased master saw it, he would have to jump out and knock his big bald head.
In comparison, Paspa is more qualitative, with a calm expression and an indifferent tone.
"Unless someone's spiritual cultivation can surpass me in forging a flawless memory, no one will be able to hide their inner thoughts in the face of the Heaven and Earth Dafa."
Hearing that Phags-pa actually deliberately used the gatekeeper trick, King Jinlun no longer doubted the authenticity of the information. The excitement is summed up.
"I didn't expect that small countries such as Dongying would dare to capture the Ming Tiger Whiskers, and they really succeeded. This is a godsend, and it is a great opportunity for our Mongolian army to dominate the world! ”
Paspa nodded in agreement, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but his eyes were brighter than usual.
The two great masters immediately wrote a joint letter and sent the message back through 100,000 secret agents hidden in the capital.
And not long after they finished their business, there were a few new faces among the subordinates. The spies of the factory guard were still one step slower in the end.
Coincidentally, there is an inn inland Xiaofeng and others are also discussing.
Needless to say, with the wisdom of Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang and others, they immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Moreover, because of the reason of no flowers, they are even more sure that the mastermind behind the scenes is Dongying!
Wuhua, the eldest son of Toei Iga Ninja Tenkale Shishiro, is naturally proficient in ninjutsu.
However, following his father's orders, Wuhua, who has been determined to dominate the rivers and lakes since he was a child, will certainly not reveal his identity. only said that he had fought against Dongying ninjutsu masters, and these killing methods at this moment were the same as ninjas.
Lu Xiaofeng's brows wrinkled into mountains and rivers on his forehead, and when he spoke, he jumped and jumped as if he was dancing with his mood, almost making Chu Liuxiang on the other side couldn't help laughing.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was unaware, still analyzed the current situation by himself: "First of all, the assassin is a ninja. Many officials along the coast were killed, the court in Beijing was in chaos, and it was difficult to effectively enforce the decrees.
Judging from the current situation, this is a long-planned conspiracy, and Dongying is about to invade the land of Daming in the near future! ”
The country is the world, and there is a country to have a home. Everyone present was awe-inspiring, and Chu Liuxiang added on the side.
"Now it's the martial arts conference, and the strong people from all sides are gathering. Even if you are a master who is extremely proficient in ninjutsu, it is impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of all masters when you are not familiar with life.
At the very least, if those assassins dared to approach Brother Hua, they would definitely not be able to hide from him. (To be continued.) )
