Chapter Ninety-Three: Exploring the Water Prison at Night
On November 20, King Rong was assassinated on the way to the court, and his guards were killed and wounded.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was an assassination incident, and the assassin disappeared without a trace, and above the court, the emperor was furious, and asked the prefect of Shangjing to investigate thoroughly At this time, if the assassin could not be caught, he would come to see him.
Xiang Shaofan, the prefect of Shangjing, is a subordinate of King Rong, and King Rong will speak for him, "Your Majesty, those assassins are all masters among masters, and the king's 'attendants' are not their opponents, but I am afraid that Lord Xiang will not be able to do anything about them." ”
It's just that King Rong never thought that the emperor would make such a will.
"Since this is the case, General Wan has ordered that I will transfer half of the Imperial Forest Army to you to assist Lord Xiang in investigating this matter thoroughly."
And General Wan is the newly trusted and reused Wan Lei of His Majesty.
The Imperial Forest Army in Beijing is all 'fine' Ying picked up from various channels, all of them are not bad, a total of 10,000 people, but they can withstand an ordinary army of 100,000. Originally, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was the person of King Rong, but now His Majesty's will has divided the Royal Forest Army into two.
The emperor really took a fancy to King Rong, and was worried that something would happen again, so he specially sent the forbidden army to escort King Rong back to his home.
And this assassination incident caused a sensation in the capital, and became the talk of the people in Beijing after dinner, but they were all secretly discussed, and they did not dare to be too extensive, for fear of incurring the disaster of killing themselves.
I have long been angry with Wan Lei, and these assassins who assassinated King Rong are really the top masters of the Shadow Villa, and for many years, they have been 'mixed' among the ordinary people in Shangjing, and the assassins will definitely not be able to catch them, and the purpose of assassinating King Rong is even more unknown, and those princes and ministers are all panicked, for fear of meeting assassins.
'Spring' grass was eating, listening to the news brought back by Dongmei Qiuju, and frowned, I really didn't expect such a big sensation brought back by an assassination.
Turning his head to look at Lu Ziqi next to him, he said, "Isn't it normal for this type of powerful prince to encounter an assassination outside?" Why is there such a fuss? ”
Lu Ziqi raised his head and said to Dongmei Qiuju, "You guys should also go down to eat." "I sandwiched a piece of 'chicken', 'leg' and 'meat' to the 'spring' grass, and then said, "If it's peaceful today, where are there so many assassinations." This is just right, only if the 'chaos' is disturbed, will the emperor's attention be aroused. Hurry up and eat, see how thin you have become, and eat more. ”
After more than a month of tossing from Qingyang, the body of 'Spring' herbs is not fat, and it is indeed thinner.
The 'spring' grass ate the 'chicken' and 'legs' that Lu Ziqi clipped, and he was still thinking about King Rong in his mind, "When is the emperor's birthday?" ”
"November 26."
'Spring' grass nodded and ate quietly.
On the evening of November 25, Lu Ziqi began to prepare to spy on King Rong's water prison, night clothes, all kinds of hidden weapons**, 'spring' grass kept circling around Lu Ziqi, "Are you a master of martial arts?" Do you have to go? ”
Lu Ziqi didn't look up, and replied to the 'spring' grass, "My martial arts have been learned from my father since I was a child, you don't have to worry." ”
"Haruhura" pouted, "But do you have to go?" Aren't there so many masters? ”
Lu Ziqi looked up at the 'spring' grass, with a smile on his face, and reached out to hug the person who kept dangling around him, "Worried?" ”
'Spring' grass raised his head and gave him a blank look, "Of course I'm worried, such a dangerous thing, if something goes wrong, you will die." ”
Lu Ziqi's hand holding the 'spring' grass tightened, and he smiled even happier, "Don't worry about Wanfeng?" ”
"I'm worried that he won't be able to take you on a risk, no, you can't go, you go, if there is a three-card and two-short, how will I live."
Lu Ziqi looked at the 'spring' grass with a meaningful smile, "Okay, I won't let you be widowed, I promise, I will never let myself have trouble, okay?" ”
"No, no, you can't go, there are so many masters, isn't it the same to let other people go?" The 'spring' grass pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Do you think Wanfeng will trust others easily? He will only believe if I go. Actually, Lu Ziqi really didn't want to go, but he had to go.
'Spring' grass was annoyed and didn't speak.
Lu Ziqi hugged the 'spring' grass and went to the bedroom, and said in his mouth, "Okay, don't worry, it'll be fine, rest early, I have to go over to meet the others early tomorrow morning." ”
Early the next morning, before dawn, Lu Ziqi went out, and the 'spring' grass looked at the back of Lu Ziqi leaving, with a worried face.
Dongmei, who has never said much, rarely opened her mouth to comfort the 'spring' grass, "Young lady rest assured, the young master's martial arts are strong, and he will be fine." ”
Qiu Ju also spoke, "There are so many masters of the Absolute Shadow Villa, they will definitely protect the young master and will not let the young master have anything to do." ”
"Hey!" Haruha sighed deeply and turned to walk inside. How can you not be worried?
On November 26, the emperor's birthday, in the afternoon, there were gorgeous carriages heading for the palace.
Because of the assassin's incident a few days ago, the palace is even more heavily guarded, there are patrolling royal guards everywhere, and there will be strict checks by the forbidden army when entering and leaving the palace, and the entire palace is impregnable.
Since the assassination, King Rong has not been out of the house much.
Lu Ziqi and others lurked around King Rong's mansion, watching King Rong go out of the 'door', and sure enough, they took away a lot of people.
At night, it was very dark, Lu Ziqi and others quietly sneaked into Rongwang's Mansion, and the entire Rongwang's Mansion was unusually quiet.
The people who 'blended' into the palace before had already been picked up in the Rongwang Mansion, evaded the patrolling guards, and quietly led everyone straight to the water prison of the Rongwang Mansion.
The location of the water dungeon is located under a pool in the backyard of the palace, and the entrance is the rockery next to it.
The huge Rongwang Mansion, if the people who didn't 'mix' into the palace would have 'touched' the location clearly, it would be really difficult to find the location of the water prison.
There was no one at the entrance, and when the undercover agent of the palace opened the mechanism, there was an angry shout from inside, "What person? "It's just that before I can see it clearly, a hidden weapon pierced the center of my eyebrows, and I fell down with a bang, and there was no sound anymore.
The entrance of the water dungeon entered, a deep passage, all the way to the underground, along the way various organs, and masters intercepted, Rao is Lu Ziqi and others are numerous, martial arts are strong, and several people are hanging.
Along the way, all the guards were brought down, and not a single ventilation message was released.
Finally reached the end, put down the last guard, and saw the so-called water prison, but the environment was not as bad as imagined.
Wan Feng had already heard the fight outside, sat up, looked at the people outside the prison 'door' with complicated eyes, and slandered in his heart, could it be someone sent by the family?
Seeing that the man in black 'touched' the key from the guard, opened the prison 'door', and the leader came in and stood in front of him, Wan Feng did not 'agitate' or be afraid, just watched calmly.
Lu Ziqi came in, and looked the same as before, except for the fact that his face was slightly pale because he didn't see the sun, and there was no change in Wan Feng, and then he looked at the cell where everything he wanted, and he was puzzled, and he was slandered in his heart, this kid can still live so comfortably in the water prison.
Lu Ziqi pulled off the veil, and when Wan Feng saw the true face of the man in black who was the leader, the calmness on his face no longer existed, and he said in surprise, "Why are you?" ”
Lu Ziqi glanced at Wan Feng lightly, "Let's go, let's go out." With that, he turned and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Wan Feng suddenly spoke.
Lu Ziqi had to stop and turned to look at Wan Feng.
Seeing that Lu Ziqi turned around, Wan Feng said, "I still have something to do, you let them all go out first." ”
Lu Ziqi glanced at Wan Feng suspiciously, waved his hand at the others, and the others came out of the prison one after another.
Wan Feng walked to the 'door', looked at the people who walked away, then turned around, laid out paper and pen on the table, embarrassedly 'touched' his nose, and said to Lu Ziqi, "Please help me write and leave a letter to King Rong." ”
Wan Feng thought about his crooked 'Mao' pen simplified characters, and estimated that King Rong couldn't understand it, so he had to ask Lu Ziqi.
Lu Ziqi stared at Wan Feng, remembering that he was like his daughter-in-law, and he probably couldn't write here, so he had to sit down at the table and pick up the pen.
Wan Feng thought for a moment before he spoke, "King Rong, I didn't plan to participate in your battle. What you want, and what I know about you, will disappear with me. Alright, that's it, let's go. ”
Lu Ziqi didn't understand what Wan Feng meant, but this was not the time to ask in detail, so he had to get up, and the two of them went out of the prison together.
A group of people disappeared quietly in King Rong's mansion.
'Spring' grass was worried at home for a day, and she had been sitting in the front hall waiting, looking forward to Lu Ziqi's return, and finally heard movement outside.
The masters of the Shadow Villa were already hiding in various places in Shangjing, and they returned to their original positions, and only Lu Ziqi and Wan Feng came in.
Seeing the two of them, 'Chun' Cao greeted them excitedly, grabbed Lu Ziqi's hand, and looked up and down, "Are you injured?" ”
Lu Ziqi looked at his daughter-in-law's first concern about herself, and smiled happily and 'rubbed' her head with a happy smile, "I'm fine?" ”
Wan Feng deliberately looked at the 'spring' grass with an aggrieved face, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you don't care about me." ”
'Spring' grass then remembered Wan Feng next to him, and looked at Wan Feng with concern, "Are you injured?" ”
Lu Ziqi said mockingly, "He eats and drinks well and lives in King Rong's Mansion, what kind of injury can he suffer?" ”
'Spring' grass looked puzzled, King Rong caught Wan Feng, didn't do anything to Wan Feng?
Lu Ziqi was also very suspicious of the letter that Wan Feng left to King Rong at the end, and pulled the 'spring' grass to sit down on the main seat in the front hall, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Wan Feng was not polite, found a place to sit down, picked up the teacup on the table first, and took a sip of tea.
'Chun' Cao couldn't help but speak first, "Do you have evidence that King Rong wants to rebel?" ”
"Rebellion?" Wan Feng raised his head in surprise and looked at the two of them.
"You don't know, why did King Rong arrest you and lock you up?" 'Spring' grass said incomprehensibly.
Wan Feng looked at Lu Yong, Qiuju, and Dongmei who were guarding the 'door', "You let them go down first." ”
Lu Ziqi waved his hand, and several people exited the front hall and disappeared, then signaled Wan Feng to speak, things didn't seem to be what they thought, and he didn't understand what was going on now.
