Chapter 340: Secret Discussion
"Husband, are you okay?" Ning Ze returned to the palace, and his wives hurriedly stepped forward.
Going out of the city and being attacked twice in a row is not a trivial matter.
Back in the house, the four of them sat down together.
"Don't worry, the little thief can't hurt Lonely. Ning Ze said indifferently, reassuring them.
Hearing this, the wives were relieved.
"Have the assassins been caught?" asked Liu Yuanxiang, "Have you ever confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Two groups of Assassins were not afraid to die, and most of them were killed. Only two or three people were captured, their mouths were tight, and they refused to explain the real mastermind. Ning Ze took the teacup handed by Chu Meiren, took a sip to moisten his throat and continued, "Actually, there is no need for them to speak, Gu also guessed that these two groups of assassins came from Lu Cong's side and were arranged by Sima Fa. What Lone cared about was not the origin of the assassins, but the fact that they were able to learn the news that Lone had left the city today, which was very strange! In Huajun City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the guards were fierce, and there was Lone, and the enemy had nothing to hide. The Assassins were able to enter our country and wanted to infiltrate Huajun's delusional thinking. If you can't enter Huajun, how do you know that the Lone Club is out of the city and set up an ambush in advance?"
"What do you mean, there are traitors in the court?" Liu Yuanxiang asked worriedly.
"The word traitor is not very accurate. ”
"Why?"
"Based on the current situation, it seems that someone inside has secretly leaked the news, causing the enemy assassin to learn about Lone's movements in advance. Ning Ze put down the teacup and pinched his chin to think, "The matter of the secret research base, except for our own family, most of the civil and military forces in the court do not know, it is a top secret. The Assassins were all located close to the city, and it didn't look like they knew the secret research base. Although he didn't know the purpose of this trip, he first knew that he was going to go out of the city. It is not surprising that people with a heart stay in the court, and after a long time, they have a grasp of the law of going out of the city!"
"Who is collaborating with the enemy?" Mi Yan frowned, "Why was you sentenced to my country?"
"As I just said, the one who leaked the news may not be a traitor!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Chu Meiren thought for a moment and said, "The husband is right! The person who leaked the news may be absolutely loyal to Huaguo, or to His Majesty, but may not be friendly to his husband!"
"Quite the imperial faction?" Mi Yan suddenly realized, "It's Li Shun and them again?"
"Probably not. Liu Yuanxiang shook his head and said, "After so many things, they have let go." ”
"Who could that be?" Mi Yan was puzzled.
"I can't say!" Ning Ze also believed that Li Shun's batch had changed at the beginning, but people's hearts were the most unpredictable, who knew if they would change back. Of course, it is also possible that a new batch of "pro-imperial faction" has emerged, and many of the Chinese military generals of the DPRK are still dissatisfied with their own "powerful ministers".
The whole country of China knows that Empress Liu Yuanxiang obeys her words, in fact, most of the time, the country is controlled by herself.
It is difficult to guarantee that some people cannot accept it and do not hesitate to use external forces to eradicate themselves.
"Whatever the purpose of this person, collaborating with the enemy is a capital offense!" Mi Yan said, "Confessions should be extorted by torture, and the name of the assassin should be asked as soon as possible, and severe punishment should be given!"
Liu Yuanxiang hesitated and said: "My position may not be suitable for saying this, but what this person has done, from his own position, is also for Dahua, but it is a little extreme. The reason for this is that the husband's image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so this situation will happen. Whoever he is, his loyalty to me is absolute. There is a shortage of talents in our country, and it is very difficult to fill any vacancy in any position. In my opinion, find out who it is and give him a light punishment, as long as he understands that the husband and Hua Guo are inseparable, realizes the seriousness of the matter of collaborating with the enemy, and knows that he can change his mistakes like Li Shun and others, and continues to work for great results!"
"Your Majesty is just too merciful!" Mi Yan said, "collaborating with the enemy is not a trivial matter, unlike Li Shun and them. ”
"Okay!" Ning Ze interrupted their conversation, "Actually, it all makes sense, but Yuan Xiang is a benevolent person, this person's purpose is not to subvert Dahua, from another point of view, it is also for Dahua's sake, but he misjudged the situation and used the wrong means." Whoever he was, the loyalty of the Korean Chinese Wu to Dahua was unquestionable. If this person is found out and executed, instead of helping, it will be easier to intensify the contradictions between the pro-imperial faction and other officials, which will make Dahua internal chaos and quite unwise! On the contrary, as long as Lone finds out who it is and imposes a slight punishment, these people will not necessarily be grateful to Dade, but they will definitely be silent for the time being, and they will not dare to continue to make trouble. Only when there is no chaos at home can we deal with external enemies with peace of mind. ”
"It's so complicated, my head hurts!" Mi Yan leaned on the table with her head in her hands.
"Managing the country, do you think it's that simple?" Ning Ze looked at Liu Yuanxiang and Chu Meiren at the same time, and smiled at the same time.
Compared with Mi Yan, the three smart people think about things more comprehensively.
"But if the assassin doesn't open his mouth, how can he find out who is collaborating with the enemy?" Mi Yan asked, looking up.
"It's very simple!" Chu Mei said, "It's not a trivial matter that my husband was attacked twice. It will soon spread throughout Huajun, and that person will naturally know. The presence of an assassin would make him worried, afraid, and fearful. In this case, several scenarios are possible. First, in order to prevent the Assassin from leaking secrets, the person would use all means to assassinate the Assassin before he could confess; second, he might get in touch with the captured Assassin in various ways, and the two parties would collude to avoid revealing his identity and possibly frame others; third, he might be forced to abandon his job and flee in order to survive, hide incognito in the mountains, or flee abroad. No matter what happens, it will show its feet, and it will be easy to capture it!"
"But what if this person is very deep in the city, and the assassin doesn't confess when he is killed?" Mi Yan said, "After all, those are dead soldiers, and they are not even afraid of death, and it is almost impossible to dig out information from their mouths!"
"No matter how strict his mouth is, Lone can pry it open!" Ning Ze said, "Lone personally interrogated the assassin, this person must be nervous, and there is a possibility that he will show flaws." Even if he can calm down, as long as he gets information from the assassin, he will have nothing to hide!"
"Do you have the confidence to pry open the assassin's mouth?" asked Liu Yuanxiang.
"Don't worry, there is a way!" Ning Ze said solemnly, "Recently, you need to pay more attention, don't be alone anywhere." The Assassins are not only coming at me, especially Yuanxiang, and I need to be vigilant! Lone has ordered that all trips related to you that need to be carried out outside the city have been cancelled recently. ”
"Got it!" Everyone knew the gravity of the situation, and only by finding out the collaborators as soon as possible and eliminating the Assassin groups that had infiltrated China could they rest assured.
At this moment, there is a hidden mountain area somewhere outside the city of Huajun.
"I didn't expect such a good opportunity to not win Ning Ze!"
"The two groups of manpower are very well planned, and there are no mistakes! Why Ning Ze saw through it in advance makes no sense!"
"Is it a spell?"
"Spells?"
"It is rumored in the world that Ning Ze is proficient in spells, and he is very human! There are also rumors that his eyes can see through the truth, and it is difficult for anyone to hide it in front of him!"
"If that's the case, how do you kill it?"
"No matter how powerful a person is, he has weaknesses, and being proficient in spells doesn't mean he can't be killed!"
But such a careful plan can be seen in advance. Wait, could it be that person secretly snitched, so that Ning Ze was prepared?"
"No! That person wished that Ning Ze would die outside the city, he really wanted to tell the truth, and send troops to encircle and suppress him long before the ambush!"
"Makes sense...... Could it be that Ning Ze's spell is really so powerful? So how can you get close to him and kill him?"
"With the precedent of two failed assassinations, the other side must be alert. I'm afraid that during this time, Ning Ze and other important officials of Huaguo will try to minimize the possibility of going out of the city!"
"Wouldn't that be a smaller chance?
"Calm, calm! They can't hide in the city all the time, as long as they wait patiently, there will always be a chance! Let's think about how to kill the other party when they are vigilant and Ning Ze is not easy to approach!"
"Hypothetical...... Assuming that Ning Ze can see through the disguise, as long as he doesn't get close to him, we can ambush in the shadows and let the archers use their bows and crossbows. You can also set traps on the way you have to go, no matter how powerful he is, he can't even easily see through the traps, right?"
"Not necessarily! But you can do it. Hidden arrows and traps do have a high chance of success. ”
"I'm more worried about Shao Yi and them, I didn't expect to be caught by mistake, in case ......
"Don't worry, they are very strict-mouthed! They are not even afraid of death, what is the use of torture to extract confessions? Are you afraid that they will confess our hiding place and the secret stronghold hidden in China?"
"I think it's better to be cautious, there is a case in everything! Think about it, Ning Ze is proficient in spells, maybe he can confuse his mind. If there is such a spell, no matter how strict your mouth is, it will be useless!"
"Hmm...... When you say this, you're really a little worried! The main Ning Ze is too mysterious, and he is always unexpected, otherwise Mr. Sima will not regard him as a great enemy, and let me assassinate him at all costs. ”
"Right, in my opinion, the dead are the safest, and they will never betray us!"
"What do you mean.....?"
"Send a few good men to infiltrate Huajun, if you can save it, you will save it, and if you can't save it, you will kill it immediately!"
"Huajun is heavily guarded, and no one can hide the companions who entered the city before, and they are all disposed of by the other party. That's why we have to hide here, waiting for an opportunity, have you forgotten?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten! This time is different, that person is also afraid that Ning Ze will find out the truth, as long as he asks him to help take us into the city, we can avoid hearing and seeing. ”
"He's not going to help us get into town!"
"Why?"
"Because he is targeting Ning Ze, he knows that we are not alone for this person. The reason why we are assisted is simply for Emperor Yuanxi. But if we sneak into the city, we may endanger Emperor Yuanxi, and with his position, he will definitely not cooperate!"
"If you say that, we'll have to figure it out ourselves?"
"Well, no matter what, don't act impulsively. Ning Ze is not a vegetarian!"
"Then let's sum it up, how to infiltrate Huajun. ”
