Chapter Ninety-Six: The Man in Black
Chu Liuyan came to the outside of the Zen temple and was about to knock on the door, but he didn't expect to catch a glimpse of a man in black sneaking into the temple. When he went up to the temple wall, Chu Liuyan looked at it, and saw that the black-clothed man in the lead was running like the wind on the eaves, and Chu Liuyan also followed the qi and jumped up, following this person from a distance.
After following for a while, I saw the man in black in front of him jump off the roof beam and flash into a monk's house.
Chu Liuyan was very curious, the monk's house was actually the room where the abbot lived, and the fragrance of tea was faintly wafting.
Chu Liuyan turned over and fell under the eaves, hooked the bucket beam with his foot, wet the window paper with saliva, opened his eyes and looked inside, only to see an old monk talking secretly with a man in black.
The old monk said, "Why did you come to see me again, didn't the king say that you don't have to come to see me if you have nothing to do. ”
Saying this, the old monk paused, stretched out his right hand to pick up the teacup, gently lifted the lid of the cup with his left hand, and gently played with the tea leaves floating in it to the side of the cup with the lid of the cup, while gently blowing the tea with his mouth. When the old monk put down the teacup, he slowly turned his head, stared at the man in black with a torch and continued to ask, "Is it done?" ”
The man in black smiled: "If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's escape from the fire yesterday, this matter would have been done long ago, why would I come to see you today to find myself unlucky." It is said that when you meet a monk, you will lose every time you gamble. ”
When the old monk heard the man in black say this, he raised his right palm and placed it between his chest, his eyes slightly closed, and he chanted words in his mouth. Chu Liuyan listened carefully, and only heard the old monk wondering: "Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed arranged by me in that room, and for some reason, he actually escaped from the fire and ascended to heaven." Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang, he must be a blessed person, otherwise how could he escape, but this kind of reason, although I don't know, naturally it is not my doing, and the general does not need to be suspicious. ”
The man in black snorted slightly: "There is no need to be like this, Ben Jiang has no doubt about this matter, but if this matter is known to King Han, I don't know if King Han will be suspicious of this matter in his heart, and then suspicious, hehe." ”
The old monk's body trembled and said, "King Fei Han already knows about this. ”
Chu Liuyan, who was outside the window, listened to the two talking about the King of Han, and already knew that the person they were calling must be Chu Liuyan, but he felt a shock in his heart and almost fell off the beam. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and climbed the beam, so that he did not fall.
Chu Liuyan thought of Yan Fengying releasing pigeons to fly to the northwest, and Xu Da once speculated to himself that Yan Fengying might be someone sent by Chen Youliang. Now I feel that what Xu Da said at that time was really true.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Liuyan settled down and listened attentively, wanting to hear the conversation between the two word for word.
I saw the man in black laughing and not saying a word.
When the old monk saw the demeanor of the man in black, he said in a hurry: "Zhu Yuanzhang's escape this time is not my crime, the King of Han placed me in Yingtian City, which was originally set up to deliver news, and the assassination was not something I could do." General Fei put the blame on me for this defeat. ”
The man in black said: "The old bald donkey has really seen the far-reaching situation, and General Ben has indeed passed on the story of the failure of the assassination of Chen Youliang to the King of Han. General Ben thought that the King of Han would send a secret order in the near future, ordering General Ben to kill the person who was ineffective in assassinating Zhu Yuanzhang this time, hehe, how could the old monk deal with himself at that time. ”
The old monk's face changed drastically: "Why are you acting like this?" Though you and I share all things, we have no enmity. ”
The man in black laughed and said: "Old bald donkey, this general didn't want to inform King Han about this, but King Han is mean, and we can't succeed in assassinating Zhu Yuanzhang this time, but instead damaged Yan Fengying, King Han will definitely blame us." If I don't blame this matter on the old monk, then the general's head will definitely be cut off by the King of Han. So I had to borrow the old monk's head to file the disaster of this general. ”
The old monk was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you have a flying pigeon to pass the book, but it's rare that I don't have it." The king of Han also allowed me to fly a pigeon secret report, if I fly a book, a paper of argument to the king of Han, do you think the king of Han is listening to you, or listening to me, a monk. ”
The man in black laughed and said, "I'm here today for this purpose." ”
The old monk was stunned and couldn't help but be stunned. After closing his eyes slightly and thinking for a moment, he replied, "What does the general mean by this?" ”
"This general has nothing to do, please forgive the master." The man in black seemed to kneel down reverently and begged for mercy.
The old monk slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, but still maintained the ceremonial posture of putting his right palm up on his chest, and thought about it a little in his heart, this person is a misfortune, but it is also a person who is unscrupulous for the purpose, and he is even more reckless in doing things, let King Han let you go. ”
"Thank you, Master." The man in black approached, drew the dagger from his waist, and stabbed the old monk in the abdomen.
The old monk struggled for a while, and then he lost his breath.
The man in black kicked the old monk's corpse and said with a cruel smile: "Old bald donkey, this general knows that you speak very weightily in front of the King of Han, but if you die, then you can't speak in front of the King of Han." General Ben can shirk the responsibility for the failure of assassinating Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
The man in black put away the murder weapon, still covered the door, and walked out.
I saw a few people in black leapfrogging and flying onto the eaves.
Chu Liuyan already knew that these people were all spies sent to Yingtian City by Chen Youliang, how could he not eradicate these people, if there was another war in Yingtian in the future, and these people would make trouble in Yingtian City, it would inevitably have an extremely adverse impact on the war situation.
Thinking of this, Chu Liuyan flew onto the eaves and followed far behind.
chased after the man in black all the way, only to see the man in black arrive at the door of a house in Yingtian City, dodge and hide in.
Chu Liuyan didn't dare to follow into the house rashly, so he had to go around to the front of the house, only to see that next to the bustling road, there was a very magnificent archway, with a plaque of Dongxiangju written on it, and two big red lanterns hanging next to it.
"Uncle, come to our cave Xiangju to have fun, you are satisfied."
"Son, come in and sit down, I promise to make your trip worthwhile."
Chu Liuyan looked at the attitude of these girls, although they were all dressed up and showy, but they were all vulgar fans.
was peeking inside, but saw a turtle slave rushing out of it, rushed to her and scolded: "Miss, this is a place where men come to have fun, what are you watching here from a girl's family, if you want to get started and do such a life, just say it, I will introduce it for you, but I want you silver, if you don't want to do this business, don't hinder us from doing business." ”
The accent of this turtle slave that Chu Liuyan heard didn't seem to be a person from Yingtian City, but with some accents from Hanyang, and he vaguely felt in his heart that the black-clothed man who entered the Dongxiang Residence just now must have something to do with this hook fence.
However, the evil slave in front of him drove people away, but he had to deal with it.
Chu Liuyan smiled at the turtle slave and said, "The little girl is just passing by here, and she feels that this building is beautiful and gratifying, so she took a few more looks. Not intentionally offended. ”
When the turtle slave heard this, his tone softened and said, "Miss, you better go quickly." I can still speak, but if my master comes out, he will not be as good at talking as I am. ”
Chu Liuyan ignored the turtle slave's words, but asked by the way: "Listening to the accent, the uncle doesn't seem to be Ying Tianren, I don't know if your master is not Ying Tianren." Yingtianren has always been xenophobic, how can he build such a gorgeous building in Yingtian City. ”
When the turtle slave heard this, he said very proudly: "What I said is that in fact, my master is a Hanyang Dajia, a merchant to Yingtian, and spent a lot of gold and silver to buy this building in the hands of the old master. ”
When Chu Liuyan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, knowing that there must be some hidden secrets in it. But he didn't dare to inquire further, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the turtle slave.
After a few words with the turtle slave, Chu Liuyan turned around and left.
