Chapter 17: The Game
It was also this night, when Chen Yu was resting, and the six people in the small courtyard were discussing something.
A suburb of the capital.
A group of white-faced and beardless people, each with a chain in their hands, gathered in a circle, and between the shaking of their palms, the chains were wrapped around the center of the person.
"You lackeys of the beams, the dog eunuchs of the East Factory, have the ability to get close." The man in the center of the siege, his shirt has been completely torn, revealing a body of muscles like copper and iron, and there is a sound of gold and iron when it collides with the chains.
However, in the face of this person's incessant insults, the eunuchs of the surrounding Dongchang were silent, as silent as death, but with this person's movements, they moved with it, so that the chains were firmly locked on this person.
"Wu Yuankui, Master Wu Shaomen, you don't have to struggle, today our family laid this net, we won't let you go, just be caught obediently and suffer a little less." A eunuch in brocade clothes, who had been watching silently outside the battle, said in a cold tone.
"Your Great Liang Imperial Court openly acted against me, aren't you afraid that our five factions will directly oppose it?"
The eunuch in brocade sneered, "What five factions? How did I not know? Could it be that you, Wu Yuankui, are still the young masters of the entire five factions, and you represent your Yuanyang faction at most. ”
"And even if it is your Yuanyang faction, it is impossible to say whether it will make a big move because of this?"
After Wu Yuankui heard these words, he was a little uneasy, "What do you mean?" ”
At the same time, because of some distraction, the chains on the body were tightened a little.
"What else could it mean? Literally, could it be that Wu Shaomen's main martial arts training has turned his head into muscles. ”
"Don't you want to mess with me." Although there was a faint feeling in his heart, Wu Yuankui still shouted angrily, and with another wave of force, he broke free from the chains on his body.
"Yo, Master Wu Shaomen is not a loss of natural divine power, coupled with a horizontal practice of kung fu, it is really extraordinary." The eunuch in brocade didn't know whether to sigh or laugh and said.
"However, since Master Wu Shaomen doesn't believe it, how about listening to our family tell a story?"
Without waiting for Wu Yuankui to reply, the eunuch in brocade continued to say, "The story is developing like this, when the young master of the Yuanyang faction came to Beijing to play, he had some conflicts with a tribute from the imperial court, so he sent someone to kidnap him secretly. ”
"However, it is such a move that has broken the balance between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes in recent years."
"Subsequently, because he found that the commotion was too big, he let the people go again, but the matter was decided, which attracted the attention of the imperial court and the hatred of the people in the rivers and lakes."
"Under the thorough investigation of the imperial court, it led to heavy losses for the people in the capital."
"And the culprit of the matter, Wu Yuankui, the young master of the Yuanyang faction, retreated with his whole body."
After finishing speaking, the eunuch in brocade said to Wu Yuankui with a smile, "How is my story?" ”
Wu Yuankui glared angrily, "Eunuch dog, your plan will not succeed, as long as I am alive." ”
The eunuch in brocade still smiled, "Yes, as long as you live, so as long as you ...... You're dead, isn't it? ”
After Wu Yuankui listened, he once again stimulated his potential, and roared a little hysterically, "How dare you? ”
"Don't get excited, listen to me first and then be in a hurry."
"After a while, the imperial court will investigate the matter clearly, go to the Yuanyang faction to confront you, and then you will find out...... No one can be found. ”
"Everyone will think that you were saved by someone from the Yuanyang faction, who doesn't know that you are known as the young man who is most likely to enter the realm of a grandmaster in the past twenty years, so it is understandable that the Yuanyang faction did this."
"Subsequently, with this reason, the imperial court can openly act against your Yuanyang faction, right?"
"The other four, oh no, three sects will also accept this reason."
After venting, Wu Yuankui, who had calmed down, said calmly, "They won't believe this trumped-up reason?" And...... Why three? ”
Yes, they will believe it, even if they may have guessed the truth of the matter, they will "believe" it, as long as they are given a signal that the imperial court will have a formal reason even if it does it to them, and will not do it to them for no reason, they will "believe" it. ”
"And the rest of the sects will more and more restrain their disciples to avoid giving the court any excuses."
"As for why it's three? And not four? Guess what? ”
Perhaps it was the potential stimulation before death, Wu Yuankui felt that his IQ at the moment was already able to test people, so in a flash of inspiration, Wu Yuankui said, "It's the Danxia faction, their ancestor is almost over, so he has long been secretly taking refuge in the imperial court, and has been providing information to the imperial court." ”
The more Wu Yuankui said, the more he felt that what he said was right, "In this way, there is a reason why you know my whereabouts, it turns out that the Danxia faction has always been undercover." ”
The Jinyi eunuch listened to Wu Yuankui's words and didn't say anything to respond, but the expression on his face seemed to be surprised that Wu Yuankui was able to guess so much.
……
Finally, after the last outburst, the chains were completely wrapped around Wu Yuankui's body, and as the chains tightened, Wu Yuankui's breath became weaker and weaker, until he completely lost his breath.
"Take the corpse and go." The brocade-clothed eunuch greeted the rest of the eunuchs.
"Yes, father-in-law." The rest of the eunuchs responded in unison.
It's just that before leaving, the eunuch in brocade glanced at a corner next to him, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
Until the Jinyi eunuch and his party had left for about a quarter of an hour, there was a trace of movement in a corner next to the original battle ground.
A man dressed in black walked out with some palpitations, and at the same time he was glad that as the core intelligence officer of the Yuanyang faction, he had learned a relatively clever method of resting and resting.
is different from those intelligence officers on the surface, he is the kind of spy who is truly loyal to the Yuanyang faction and can be completely trusted.
When he received the news from the young master and rushed over, he encountered this scene, but fortunately, because of the cover of the night and the exercises, the other party's attention was always on the young master, so he didn't notice him.
However, if Wu Yuankui was still alive, he would definitely be surprised, because ...... He had not contacted the agents of the Yuanyang Sect.
In fact, there was no Danxia faction to defect to the imperial court, everything was just Wu Yuankui's speculation, and then it was overheard by the secret agents of the Yuanyang faction.
As I said before, with a formal excuse, coupled with the estrangement between the various factions, even if the imperial court directly acted against the Yuanyang faction, the other four factions would acquiesce.
However, this does not mean that the other factions will not believe the news of the Yuanyang faction, and for the sake of even almost impossible assistance, the Yuanyang faction will try their best to confirm the correctness of this news.
In this way, the two purposes of the imperial court's action were achieved, to destroy Yuanyang and force Danxia to rebel, no matter how bad it was, the Danxia faction and the rest of the sects could not trust it at all.
Although it seems simple, whether it is the proposal and implementation of the initial plan, as well as a large amount of intelligence, as well as the grasp of the timing, a lot of manpower and material resources have been consumed, and even the matter of Wu Yuankui coming to the capital is secretly guided.
……
glanced at the direction in which the brocade-clothed eunuch left.
The agent said to the surrounding clearing, "I'm sorry, young master, even if I come out to help you, there is no possibility of escape. ”
Moreover, the spy knew that the young master knew about his existence, and the reason why he said so loudly at the end at that time must have been because he wanted to tell him and let him pass the news back.
If Wu Yuankui was still alive and knew what the spy was thinking, he would have said loudly, "I'm not, I don't." ”
……
That night, a secret stronghold of the Yuanyang faction.
"Boss, let's have a pot of wine." The agent shouted to the liquor store.
"Here we are."
The owner of the liquor store and the spy glanced at each other vaguely.
And when the agent left, a letter quietly appeared on the table of the wine shop.
Not far from the agent's exit, a man in black appeared behind him silently, and then a short knife pierced his heart from behind.
"Thank you for the message...... chuckled out.
"You, you ......," the agent tried to say something, but his hands soon fell limply.
……
