To the south of the Central Plains, it seems to be calm, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent.
The elite led by Zhuo Xuanxin was extremely fast, they had successfully infiltrated the Central Plains from the South China Sea, and had spread out according to the plan and methodically approached the capital:
The elite soldiers given by the lord of the kingdom were to move slowly from the various trade routes to the capital in the name of caravans;
A number of girls from the Star Covering Tower turned into various identities and were distributed and hidden in various places in the Central Plains to explore intelligence;
Tianluozhuang also sent a lot of people scattered around, and Shen Shi was in charge of collecting and integrating the feedback they had received from the Star Covering Tower, and reporting it to Zhuo Xuanxin;
In less than two days, this big net has covered the entire capital to the south of the Central Plains.
And Zhuo Xuanxin, the 'owner' of the big net, dressed like a person who went out to visit distant relatives, and was looking for a moderate place to eat and live all the way.
Most of these places are businessmen, with a lot of traffic, and they don't have time to pay attention to other people's affairs.
Following the business path, this is the third foot shop he has lived in alone, and it is also the one he has lived in for the longest time. Further back, it was not very far from the capital, because of the 'previous convictions' that made trouble in the Central Plains, he didn't dare to get too close to the capital for the time being, just in case, for fear of startling the snake.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the whole inn was particularly lazy and weak, everyone was hiding indoors, and no one was willing to go on the road at this hour.
Zhuo Xuanxin sat alone under the grape trellis in the backyard, listening to the harsh cicadas around him, and his heart couldn't be quiet for a moment.
He braved the scorching sun to wait for someone else, it was none other than Shen Shi.
When the latter arrived, he was already sweating profusely.
Zhuo Xuanxin handed him the wine jar placed in the shade of the tree: "Drink some first, the well water that was dug earlier." ”
Shen Shi didn't have time to say thank you, so he hugged the wine jar and poured a few sips.
"In such a hurry, something must be wrong this time?"
Shen Shi wiped his mouth, relieved most of his spirit, and said, "Yes, I found something before. ”
"Come on. ”
The information reported by Shen Shi will only be related to what they did when they entered Beijing, so as long as something happens, whether it is good or bad, it is very important to Zhuo Xuanxin.
"That's right, there is also a group on the Central Plains side that is moving in the direction of the capital, and the people who cover the star tower find out that they are a group of small sects and mountain bandits in the Central Plains, and the goal is to go to Beijing to make trouble to rescue Chen Yin, but they seem to have heard the wind recently, and they know that Chen Yin is not threatened in the capital, so they are stuck on a mountain. ”
"How many of them are there?"
"That's only about 100 people combined. ”
"There are too few people," Zhuo Xuan pondered for a moment before he continued, "but they can help us." ”
"I'm afraid it's a little difficult, it is said that a large part of this group of people are people who escaped from the Wanpeng Inn at that time," Shen Shi said, "They just didn't want to help us before leaving, and now they have returned to the Central Plains, and they won't help us." ”
Zhuo Xuanxin shook his head slowly: "You just need to ask the people from the Star Covering Tower to pass a message to them, and they will naturally do something that will help us." ”
Shen Shi listened to Zhuo Xuanxin's command for a while, and then clenched his fists in response.
"I'll do it!"
Zhuo Xuanxin stopped the anxious Shen Shi: "Wait a minute, what's the news from the prince's side?"
"Recently, I haven't contacted the prince for the time being, and now the capital is preparing to welcome the matter of Xufeng Chenhui, the prince will be monitored as our envoy to Beijing, and he will definitely be monitored, so it is inconvenient for me to contact him too closely at this time, when I saw the prince before, he also meant this, let us not go to him, he will take the initiative to give us news." ”
Zhuo Xuan's heart frowned, and he read: "If the prince doesn't give us news, we won't dare to act rashly-like this--Shen Shi, you first go and keep an eye on the whereabouts of that group of hundreds of people, if they change their plan to enter the capital, or hesitate for too long, you will act according to our plan, and besides, is the Imperial Pavilion Master in the capital or on the border now?"
"Wen Zuyu hasn't returned to Beijing yet," Shen Shi quickly replied, "Xufeng Chenhui arranged for him to deal with the aftermath of the army, and he won't be able to return to the capital for a while." ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Xuanxin's brows stretched slightly, he nodded, and said, "I know, I will stay here temporarily, if there is any news to find me, go." ”
Shen Shiwei made a move, and disappeared into the courtyard with a dodge.
Just sitting in the courtyard for so long, Zhuo Xuanxin was already wet with sweat all over his body.
Fortunately, no one in the inn noticed the situation in the backyard, and the two were not disturbed, and it was worth it for him to be hot here.
After seeing Shen Shi leave, Zhuo Xuanxin slowly got up. He did not turn back into the inn, but turned out from under the grape trellis, came to the shade of the corner, and after making sure that there was no one around, he quickly transported the Yanli, and then the whole person escaped into the wall.
He went straight to the capital, because there was no news from the prince's side, and time was pressing, and it was impossible for so many of them to wait. It just so happened that Wen Zuyu had not returned to Beijing yet, and he thought that he would go into the capital in person to convey the words of the lord to Chen Yin, and it would not be difficult to retreat with his whole body.
