Chapter 50: The Great Wave Strikes (4)

"Come on, go and protect Miss's safety." Hua Butterfly exclaimed, worried about her daughter, she was full of anger, and said angrily: "Shen Jiannan, you damn guy, dare to threaten me with my daughter, if my daughter has three long and two short, I won't finish with you, Yumeng has been transferred to another place by me, how can I still be caught by them, it's really strange." ”

Hua Butterfly was puzzled and was wondering, when Hua Yumeng's voice suddenly came: "Mother, I heard that you and Shen Jiannan fought, what the hell is going on, you didn't do anything to Shen Jiannan, right?" ”

Hua Butterfly was startled, only to see Hua Yumeng hurriedly running in from outside, with a worried look on her face, and asked in surprise: "Daughter, what did you just say?" ”

"I said you didn't treat Shen Jiannan, right?" Hua Yumeng was very worried and anxious.

Hua Butterfly snorted and said, "You know that you care about that conscienceless Shen Jiannan, and you don't ask how your mother is?" ”

Hua Butterfly smiled and said, "Your martial arts are so high, I naturally don't have to worry, I'm just afraid that you will hurt Shen Jiannan." ”

"Don't mention him, I still have to ask you, weren't you caught by Zhou Gongyi just now and threatened me to release Shen Jiannan? Why are you okay again? Flower Butterfly asked hesitantly.

"What? When was I caught by Zhou Gongyi, didn't he already leave in the morning? Hua Yumeng looked confused, and was confused when asked.

"What do you say? You weren't caught by Zhou Gongyi, so have you been staying in the house? "Flower butterflies feel strange.

"Yes, I've been in the house all along, and I just came out when I heard the fighting." The flower butterfly's eyes blinked, and she looked very innocent and ignorant.

Hua Butterfly said angrily: "It's a good Zhou Gongyi, you actually used a fake one to trick me, it's really damned." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Hua Yumeng asked curiously.

Hua Butterfly sighed: "Just now Xiaoshan's gang came, Shen Jiannan told me to leave, I didn't agree, we fought, he said he wouldn't marry you, I wanted to kill him, at this time Zhou Gongyi held you hostage and came out to blackmail me, I was worried about your safety and let them go." ”

"What? Shen Jiannan is gone? Hua Yumeng was shocked and secretly lost.

"Let's go, what's the use of staying, it's also fake that he is marrying you, it's a deliberate push." Flower butterfly lazy road.

Hua Yumeng was very sad, and muttered: "I don't care if it's true or not, anyway, we are also married, it is a matter of time before we get married, he can't rely on it, it's a big deal for me to wait for him, I believe he will come back to me sooner or later to get married." ”

"Don't be stupid, if it weren't for you, he would have died today, I really regret it, I should have killed him just now, it's a hundred, you always think about him in the province, I'm afraid you'll get sick." Flower Butterfly earnestly persuades, revealing a woman's nature as a mother.

Hua Yumeng said affirmatively: "Since I have made a marriage, I am his person, and I will go to him." He turned to leave.

"Stop me." Hua Butterfly shouted: "I really don't know what to do, at this time, you go to him, so that the old lady has no face, besides, I heard that there is a big turmoil in the rivers and lakes, he is going to participate, didn't you go to get involved." ”

Hua Yumeng muttered: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, of course I have to be with my husband." ”

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, what kind of husband is it, you just stay at home, if it doesn't surprise me, Shen Jiannan will come back sooner or later and beg me to marry you to him." Hua Butterfly smiled coldly, her eyes were deep, and she said in a low voice.

Hua Yumeng hesitated and asked, "Mother, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Of course it's true." Flower butterflies, to be exact.

"What's the credentials?" Hua Yumeng asked.

Hua Butterfly laughed loudly and said: "A catastrophe in the rivers and lakes will happen soon, Shen Jiannan can't control it, without me, he can't complete his mission." ”

Hua Yumeng didn't understand what it meant, and wanted to ask again, but Hua Butterfly laughed a few times and strode out.

Shen Jiannan and Xiaoshan brothers in order to avoid the pursuit of flowers and butterflies, all hid in the mountains, everyone protected Shen Jiannan to heal, Shen Jiannan sat cross-legged for a long time, still red-headed and swollen face, the poisonous needle was not easy to force out for a while, and then she hit a ghost claw, the injury was really not light, in front of everyone was covered, afraid that they would be worried, hiding alone behind a tree, using Huiyuan Shengong to heal the wounds, nearly two hours, finally broke through the barrier, the poisonous needle on the shoulder was pushed out by the true qi, and then the blood was pushed out with the true qi, I saw that Shen Jiannan's wound was covered with black blood, which was all venom.

After another hour, all the poisonous blood was forced out, and Shen Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief, which was considered to be able to walk freely, but the injury of the ghost claw still needed to be slowly recuperated, but it was not a big problem, because he was concerned about the emperor Zhu Qizhen, he didn't have time to wait for the injury to heal, so he had to go to Beijing with the injury.

Shen Jiannan said goodbye to the Xiaoshan brothers, came to the capital alone, once did the brocade clothes and guards here, many people know themselves, the various gates of the capital come and go freely, but they did not enter the Forbidden City immediately, but wandered outside the city, the purpose is to find out from the side, the movement of the people, to see if you can hear some of the emperor's patrol.

Shen Jiannan sat in the teahouse on the street outside the Forbidden City, there were many pedestrians here, and he could hear the news the most, so he ordered a pot of tea and listened while drinking, but a day passed, and there was no movement, Shen Jiannan wondered, the emperor is going to go on patrol, it must be a teacher, it is impossible for the people not to know? Could it be a secret patrol, then why would Zhao Xiancheng know, oh no, there must be a spy in the palace, who is this spy, could it be Cao Jixiang, the secret passage of the summer resort leads directly to the palace, Zhao Xiancheng comes and goes freely, Cao Jixiang may not know? But the last time I asked Cao Jixiang, he didn't know anything, it seems that there must be something hidden here.

Shen Jiannan decided to visit the palace at night, and stayed in the teahouse for a whole day, and when it was dark, taking advantage of the lack of people, he sneaked under the Forbidden City, jumped on the high wall, and crawled forward on the high wall, looking at the movement in the city, there was nothing unusual, but there were a lot of imperial forest troops, which was estimated to have strengthened the emperor's protection, and it was also that the bandits in the rivers and lakes have been too rampant recently, and the emperor's safety has been greatly threatened.

Shen Jiannan unfolded the Nine Palaces Mental Method, flew over the heads of the two teams of Imperial Forest Army on the ground, came to the Qinzheng Palace, landed on the top of the hall, removed two tiles, looked down, and saw that Emperor Zhu Qizhen was reviewing the folds on the dragon chair, huh? And the sounds.

Shen Jiannan heard the sound and saw that there were two people in front of the emperor, one was Cao Jixiang, the chief administrator of the inner hall and the prince of the east and west fields, and the other was a bearded man with a big face, wearing the clothes of a military general, but he was a fresh face, he didn't recognize it, and he also stayed in the court for too short a time, and there were many people in the palace who had never seen it, so there was nothing strange.

Zhu Qizhen put down the brush and said lightly: "Cao Qing's family, how are the preparations for the southern tour?" ”

Cao Jixiang bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the matter of the southern tour is ready, just wait for the emperor's order, and you can start at any time." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The state capitals you pass by, have you been notified that everything is properly arranged for money and food, and when I go out on patrol, can all the things in the palace be arranged?" ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, when the emperor is on patrol, the palace master can let Xu Youzhen temporarily act as his agent, and the state capitals have notified them that they are ready to welcome them." ”

Zhu Qizhen hesitated and said: "I heard that in the Jiangnan area, bandits are rampant in the rivers and lakes, can my safety be well guaranteed?" ”

Cao Jixiang said: "The emperor can rest assured, General Youshi personally went out to escort the emperor, absolutely foolproof, and no thieves can disturb the emperor." ”

Shi Heng said: "The subordinates will do their best to protect the emperor and make a thorough tour of the south, and he will never give up." ”

Shen Jiannan was shocked and sighed: "It turns out that the emperor really wants to go on patrol, does this General Shi Heng really have such great ability?" The heroes of the rivers and lakes are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I'm afraid that one Shi Heng can't deal with it, how should I stop the emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Okay, General Shi is loyal and brave, I will appoint you as the general of the protector today, a first-class guard with a sword in front of the emperor, and accompany me on a southern tour." ”

Shi Heng hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Cao Jixiang asked, "Has the emperor set a southern tour that day?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "It's set at the end of this month." ”

Cao Jixiang pinched his fingers and said: "Yo, it will be three days later, three days later will be a sunny day, may the emperor's southern tour be successful." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "If the emperor has nothing else to do, the old slave will retire." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, retreat, I'm also a little sleepy." ”

Shen Jiannan walked around the tile, came to the top of the door, stared at Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng coming out, the two came to the door, looked at each other, and smiled slightly at the corners of their mouths, as if the two had some cooperation.

Shen Jiannan was surprised, but saw that the two of them were walking separately, one left and one right, who should they follow to see, but saw Cao Jixiang going directly to his place, Shi Heng walked towards the Imperial Forest Army Guard, and Shen Jiannan came over.

Shi Heng and the captain of the Imperial Forest Army whispered something, but they couldn't hear it, Shen Jiannan secretly figured it out, and saw Shi Heng going in the direction of Cao Jixiang.

Shen Jiannan came to Cao Jixiang's door and listened to the conversation between him and Shi Heng inside.

Cao Jixiang said: "General Shi, how are you preparing?" ”

Shi Heng said: "Everything is ready, just wait for Gonggong Cao's order." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "Okay, notify the outside of the palace of the news, let them act according to the plan, and our family will kill two birds with one stone." ”

Shi Heng said: "Back then, you and I were both heroes of the change of seizing the door, after many years, we are of little use to the emperor, the fact that the cunning rabbit is dead, and the fact that the lackeys have been cooked for thousands of years will fall on us sooner or later, think about our future in advance, this opportunity must be foolproof." ”

Cao Jixiang said: "As long as the emperor is out of the palace, the people outside the palace will do things for us, you are a general, our family is the east and west, isn't there a hundred responses in the palace, just like back then, choose a new emperor and be our puppet, otherwise you General Shi will be the emperor, and it will be okay to change the dynasty." ”

Shi Heng was frightened, and hurriedly shirked: "Gonggong Cao can't say that, I will become a thief of the country, not only the emperor can't do it, but even his life has been lost, which of the other civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty can tolerate me." ”

Cao Jixiang said with a smile: "What is General Shi afraid of, now that you are in charge of the military department, whoever does not surrender will crusade against him." ”

Shi Heng said lightly: "It's light to say, the emperor's throne is like pins and needles, it's not orthodox, it's not easy to do." ”

Cao Jixiang smiled: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being." ”

Shen Jiannan heard it clearly outside the door, was shocked, and said secretly: "It turns out that these two people are plotting to rebel, what should I do, the emperor is still in the dark, if he really goes out on patrol, it will really change the sky, but I can't expose them yet, first of all, there is no evidence, and the emperor can't cure his crimes, and now that they are exposed, they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and they will definitely launch a mutiny in advance, and the emperor will definitely be killed by them by surprise." ”

Shen Jiannan sneaked away and returned to the Qinzheng Palace, the lights inside had been turned off, there were eunuchs on duty at the door, and the emperor often slept here every night when he reviewed and read the folds very late.

Shen Jiannan returned to the roof, peeled off a few tiles, jumped down lightly along the gap, through the moonlight, groped to Zhu Qizhen's bedside, saw that Zhu Qizhen was already asleep, and was about to wake him up, just about to pat him on the shoulder, only to see Zhu Qizhen get up and exclaim: "What person?" ”

Shen Jiannan moved very quickly, afraid that he would shout out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to seal his acupoint, Zhu Qizhen suddenly did not move, his mouth was open, he couldn't speak, his eyes showed fear, and he was obviously very afraid.
