Northwest Edge Chapter 503 Death (I)
Dusk, and dusk again.
The dim orange light crept up the window frame, back and forth in a corner of the window, and the reluctant did not dare to break into the room, the breath of the wind was locked in the confined space, and the dim light of the residual oil lamp mixed into the dirty air, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling.
Yeli sat in the room, there was no one else in the room, only him, he was laughing, inexplicably smiling, the light illuminated half of his face, and the other half was always hidden in the shadows.
As the leader of the secret guard of the Cangwang Mansion, Yeli has long been accustomed to staying in the shadows, even if the various conspiracies of the Cangwang Mansion are seldom involved.
In the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a stupid act, isn't it? You only need to participate a little, and you can naturally become the core group of people in the Cangwang Mansion, controlling the strength that others can't imagine.
But Yeli had another consideration.
"Wise to protect yourself. He muttered.
Different from Yue Feng, Yue Feng is the mastermind, and he must stand in the bright place to give advice to King Cang, and Yeli is a secret guard, eradicating dissidents for King Cang in the dark.
The two are in different positions, and the way of settling down is naturally different, Yue Feng chooses not to form a party, not to engage in personal gain, and not to abuse power, while he chooses to always hide in the shadows.
This choice is undoubtedly the right one, and although the Dark Guard cannot see the light, its power is unimaginable to outsiders.
The light was slightly skewed, a little westward, and there was a strange sound from the window, like the flapping of the wings of some kind of bird.
Yeli looked up and saw a gray pigeon flying over and landing steadily at the window.
The pigeon is just a very common bird, which can be wild and can also be raised by people, but if it is specially trained, it can become a communication weapon, especially for long-distance communication between organizations, so that people who are thousands of miles away can get the news in the fastest time.
This trained pigeon is called a carrier pigeon, and the grey pigeon parked at the window is a special carrier pigeon.
There is a custom in the dark guard, or the rules that have been conventional, ordinary information is transmitted by white pigeons, and only 100,000 urgent things will be used gray pigeons,
Yeli frowned and wrapped the pigeon out of the window, perhaps because of the training, the pigeon did not struggle, and let him hold it.
He carefully made a bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet, and took out a crumpled note from it, which read: "The plan failed. ”
Yeli frowned, and after a long time, his hands clapped, and loud applause echoed in the room.
Footsteps rang out at the door, and then a man's voice came: "My lord, what do you command?" ”
Yeli said: "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the city." ”
The camp of the dark guard is the secret of the Canglan country, except for the king of Cang and the high-level of the secret guard, even the other people in the palace of the king of Cang do not know the location of the camp of the secret guard.
The king repeatedly wanted to send people to infiltrate the secret guards and find out the location of the big camp, but they were all seen through by Ye Li, but the news he got showed that the big camp must be in Canglan City, no one thought that it was just a misleading night leave, and the real big camp was not only not in the city, but in a remote place outside the city.
Cemetery.
Cemeteries dedicated to the poor.
The rich have the money to build a mausoleum, while the poor can only wrap it in a straw mat at will, bury it and set up a grave and tombstone, which is regarded as a resting place.
Yeli set out from such a resting place, galloped all the way to the gate of the city. It was late at night, and the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the gate found Ye Li and shouted: "The city gate is closed, if there is anything important, hurry up tomorrow." ”
This is a polite statement, if you are not polite, it will involve some insulting words, for this, Yeli listens to it a lot, and you can't get angry if you want to.
"I am a subordinate of King Cang, and I am ordered to enter the city!"
"Is there a handbook?"
"There is a waist card as proof. ”
In order to facilitate the night departure into the city, King Cang once created a waist card for him, which came in handy at this moment.
The soldier shouted, "I'll put a hanging basket down, you put the waist card in and I'll take a look!"
After a while, the hanging basket was put down, and it was just a small one, a hanging basket used to hold things.
Yeli put the waist card in the hanging basket, the hanging basket rose, and soon the waist card was in the hands of the soldiers. Although this soldier is the most ordinary soldier, he has been guarding the city gate of Canglan Country for many years, and he is no stranger to the waist card of Cangwang Mansion. ”
"Hmm!" replied.
Although there is the waist card of the Cangwang Mansion, but the city gate has been closed, and it must not be opened until tomorrow morning, this is the ancestral teaching, which cannot be violated, even the Cangwang has no privileges.
But emergencies can also occur in the middle of the night, so the ministers of Canglan Country invented such a thing as a hanging basket, and people sit on it, and the people above pull it, and they go up to the city wall. So you don't have to open the gates to do this.
I'm not afraid that someone will take the opportunity to attack the city, just kidding, the hanging basket can only come up one person at a time.
Ye Li entered the hanging basket and went to the city gate, and the guards at the city gate immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "My lord, why do you still enter the city so late?"
Yeli frowned, only feeling that this guard was in too much control, so he said casually: "There is an emergency." ”
The guard chimed in, "I see. After a pause, he said, "Do you need the kid to send someone to escort the adult?"
"No, I don't. ”
Yeli rejected the guard's kindness and left straight away. He didn't want to waste too much time at the gates, but he didn't notice the obscure glint in the guard's eyes when he turned around.
Half an hour later, Yeli appeared in King Cang's mansion, and King Cang, dressed in casual clothes, met him in the study.
The oil lamp reflected the wrinkled face of the King of Cang, which was a little impatient and a little sleepy, but when he left the gate at night, it disappeared completely.
"Yeli, come so late, is there something important going on? ”
King Cang understands Yeli, this is a person who is not alarmed at all times, unlike Yue Feng, who is good at strategy, Yeli is good at making decisions, and many things of the secret guard do not need to be asked by King Cang at all, and Yeli will deal with it himself.
If others are so authoritarian, King Cang can't say that he will doubt it, but he is not only not suspicious, but 100% trusting, a person who is good at disguising himself, knows how to judge the situation best, and they know how to ensure their own safety.
Yeli never secretly contacts the people on the bright side of the Cangwang Mansion, and the secret guard also shows the strictness and caution that an underground organization should have, of course, the most important thing, in the final analysis, the secret guard is just an underground organization, and Yeli's hand never goes deep into the army, so the king of Cang is very relieved of him.
However, he was also a little depressed, because he had seen Yeli with a panicked expression, but today, he saw some clues on Yeli's face.
"What the hell is going on?" he asked in a deep voice, his years of battlefield awareness had made him realize the seriousness of the matter, and he not only restrained his smile.
Yeli sighed and said, "The plan failed. ”
King Cang's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "How could it fail? Could it be that Yun Ying dares to confront the king?"
Yeli shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have already understood, it is not Yunying, but the Yue family. ”
King Cang looked up at Yeli and said in a low voice, "Didn't the Yue family hate him to the bone?"
Ye Li said: "The Yue family may have discovered the suspicion of Yue Qisheng's death. ”
King Cang's eyes were awe-inspiring, and even his breathing became short.
"What the hell is going on?"
Ye Li said: "Chen Ziang had already arrived at Yunying, everything was carried out according to the established plan, and seeing that the six doors were about to clash with Yunying, the people of the Yue family suddenly arrived, and brought bad news. ”
"What's the news?"
"Gu Ruzhi is not guilty. Yeli glanced at King Cang and said word by word.
"Ridiculous!" King Cang shouted, "That's the verdict of Canglan Mansion, even his Yue family can't change it at will." ”
Yeli sighed and said, "I was on a bad occasion just now, and this time it was the second elder of the Yue family, Yue Wuji, who came out in person. ”
"It turned out to be this old immortal!" King Cang bit his lip, and his voice came from the wind of his teeth, cold and incredible.
If you talk about the entire Canglan Country, who else can win in terms of fame, it is the second elder of the Canglan Yue family who is two years apart, Yue Wuyan.
At that time, he was also a general, and he made great contributions to the establishment of the country, and later he was hidden at home, although he gave up his power, but his kung fu became more and more profound, and his reputation became stronger and stronger.
If such a person betrayed himself, no matter how arrogant Canglan Mansion was, he would have to consider the seriousness of the situation.
King Cang groaned and said, "Recruit Yuefeng over first." ”
"Yes. ”
Half an hour later, Yue Feng appeared in the study, also with a solemn face.
"What happened back then?" he asked as he entered.
"Probably not. Yeli glanced at King Cang, "If it is really revealed, the Yue family has already come to the door." ”
Yue Feng held his chin in his hand and said in a low voice: "Maybe the Yue family has already suspected us, but there is no evidence." ”
"It's possible. Yeli nodded and said: "After all, Yue Qisheng's death has dealt too much blow to the Yue family, although they are still the first-rate family of Canglan Country, but compared to when Yue Qisheng was alive, they have been weakened a lot. And after all these years of infiltration, we also have our own forces in the Yue family. ”
"You mean Yue Qisheng's eldest son, Yue Zhongguo?" Yue Feng raised his eyebrows, and said with disdain: "The heart is higher than the sky, but he is indecisive, I really don't know why you chose to support him back then." ”
Night Centrifugation Zhiyue Feng disagreed with his voice of supporting Yue Zhongguo, but he also had his own considerations.
"It is such a person whose heart is higher than the sky, but who is indecisive, is suitable for us to control. He doesn't dare, our people have the talent, he makes constant decisions, our people can help him make decisions, everything he has needs to rely on our people, leaving the dark guard, he Yue Zhongguo is nothing at all. ”
Ye Li's voice paused for a moment, and he continued: "Only such a person is easy to control. ”
Yue Feng glanced at him and said, "It's easy to control, but after so many years, he hasn't officially climbed to the position of the successor of the Great General's Mansion." ”
Ye Li was speechless for a while, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head, this was also the only thing he was dissatisfied with Yue Zhongguo.
King Cang coughed and said, "Okay, now is not the time to discuss this matter, now should think about how to face the Yue family, and how to cover up this matter." ”
Yue Feng lowered his head, thought for a moment and said: "The Yue family is not as good as before, even if we know that we did it, we won't do it and turn against the Cangwang Mansion." ”
Yeli answered: "But we must consider that the Yue family will fall to the king's side, and Yue Zhongguo does not control the Yue family after all. ”
Yue Feng nodded and said: "That's right, this must be considered, but fortunately, the Yue family only found a suspicious point, and it is not certain that my Cangwang Mansion did it, as long as we remove this suspicion, coupled with Yue Zhongguo's mediation, even if the Yue family is suspicious, it will not easily fall to the king." ”
Nightclub said: "That's right, the Yue family's inheritance is still before the Canglan National Kingdom, and they have a deep understanding of the way to protect themselves, and they will never easily participate in the competition for the throne of the Dao." ”
King Cang smiled, changed his comfortable posture, and said, "Hearing the two of you say this, I am relieved." He thought that things would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect that after Yue Feng and Yeli analyzed it in a few words, things would become simpler.
What can you do if you doubt! As long as I don't admit it, will you dare to go to war with me?
Yeli looked at King Cang, who was a little successful, and shook his head slightly, he didn't agree to deal with Yue Qisheng back then, but King Cang did it cleanly, and when he cleared up the relationship, he didn't say anything, but he didn't expect this troublesome matter to be caused at this moment.
"You can't be careless, if the Yue family really finds out the substantive evidence, it will be troublesome," Yeli said in a low voice, "In this way, Mo Youxuan's side has lost the king's trust, and it's useless to keep it, it's better to-"
He pointed his right hand together and made a downward cutting gesture.
