Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secret Room Crisis
Early the next morning, Xu Yingxu came to the Daiwang Mansion with a team of guards and soldiers.
And in their ranks there was a carriage covered with black cloth, and there was nothing on it.
However, the carriage entered from behind the palace of the king, and never came out.
In the dungeon of the Daiwang Mansion, Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu stood in front of the torture rack and looked at the man who was tied to it.
Xu Yingxu explained: "This is the Jinyi guard who came to the garrison last night, and he wants me to send troops to raid the palace of the king. ”
Xu Yingxu's face was calm, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered what Zhu Gui said to him yesterday.
If it weren't for yesterday's foreshadowing, just by Jinyiwei's actions last night, he would largely obey the 'emperor's order'.
Zhu Gui nodded, and asked the soldiers to remove the things that were stuffed in the mouth of the brocade guard.
The brocade guard glared at the two and shouted: "I didn't expect you to be a raccoon dog, all of you are anti-thieves, haha, you can't escape, the emperor will soon send a large army to exterminate you." ”
Seeing this, Zhu Gui knew that he couldn't ask anything from the mouth of this fanatic, so he asked his own soldiers to plug his mouth again.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do with him?" Xu Yingxu asked with a somewhat ugly face.
The words of the brocade guard just now still made him feel the pressure, as if he had really become a thief by doing so.
"Let's be locked up here for now." Zhu Gui said.
"Why not ......?" Xu Yingxu made a voice wiping his neck.
He saw with his own eyes that Zhu Gui had killed dozens of Jinyi guards, why didn't he kill this one when it was his turn?
Zhu Gui walked to the place where the Jinyi guards couldn't hear and said to Xu Yingxu: "It seems that the Jinyi Guard's action this time is not aimed at you, they should have sent someone to lobby others, this king's previous execution of those Jinyi Guards was a legitimate defense, and they can erase all traces, this is different." ”
Xu Yingxu nodded.
"Will they contact Zhang Mao?"
Xu Yingxu thought for a moment and said.
"It's very likely that this king has already sent someone to invite him just now, and if he doesn't come, it will be on the opposite side of this king."
Zhu Gui sighed and said.
In fact, he still takes care of Zhang Mao, and if the relationship between the two is torn apart because of this incident, Zhu Gui is really a little regretful.
However, in the face of 'righteousness', Zhu Gui will not be surprised no matter how Zhang Mao chooses.
The two left the dungeon, and the soldiers who went to the county guard had already returned, but they didn't expect Zhang Mao to really come.
"Acting king, I don't know what is the important matter of summoning the lowly office?" Zhang Mao bowed his head and said very respectfully.
"Come with this king, and this king has something to discuss with you."
Zhu Gui even asked Xu Yingxu to wait outside the door, and took Zhang Mao into a secret room in the backyard.
After walking for a stick of incense, Zhu Gui stopped, and there was no one except for the two.
"Alright, it's time to remove your disguise."
Zhu Gui suddenly turned around, took out a pistol and pointed it at Zhang Maodao.
"Humble, humble, I don't know what the prince is talking about." Zhang Mao said with some panic.
It seemed that he was afraid of the firearm in Zhu Gui's hand, but his hands were wrapped around his back.
"Although you imitate Zhang Mao's voice very similarly, but after all, you are a military general, and you can't hide the murderous aura on your body or the kung fu under your feet."
Zhu Gui said lightly.
Zhang Maoleng froze for a moment, then glanced at his feet, and then tore off the disguise on his face, revealing a brocade guard's costume.
"Hahaha, Yunzhou has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can see it today, as expected, Cui admires it."
This person is Cui Baihu of Shanxi Jinyiwei Branch.
Zhu Gui's face did not change at the other party's praise: "How is Zhang Mao?" ”
"Don't worry, Zhang Mao is an official of the imperial court, and his humble position doesn't do anything to him, but he is also loyal to the prince, so he dares to disobey even the emperor's will, and the prince's means of buying people's hearts are really unusual."
Cui Baihu said angrily.
"Hmph, the emperor's will? Do you deserve this? Zhu Gui took out the blank holy decree from his arms and threw it on the ground.
Cui Baihu saw that there was no word on the scattered holy decree, and he suddenly froze: "This ......"
"Jin Yiwei pretended to pass on the holy decree, attacked the vassal king, and intended to rebel, do you still want to continue to fight for the tiger now?"
Zhu Gui shouted.
The expression on Cui Baihu's face changed a few times, and he was thinking about whether Zhu Gui's words were true or false.
Jinyiwei was ordered by the emperor, will they really rebel?
However, this holy decree on earth is indeed true, does he really want to be determined to oppose a prince?
After a while, Cui Baihu's expression finally stabilized, he pulled out his double knives from his back, and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Wang, as a Jinyi guard, he only obeys the emperor's orders, even if someone really falsely preaches the holy decree, it is not a matter of suspicion." ”
As he spoke, Cui Baihu flew up and slashed towards Zhu Gui, but his target was Zhu Gui's wrist with a gun, it seemed that although he had made a decision, Zhu Gui's words had already shaken his heart, so he didn't kill him.
But Zhu Gui will not sit still.
The two of them were only within a few steps, and he fired both guns together, directly hitting the vital point of Cui Baihu's body.
Although this Cui Baihu had heard of the firearms of the private soldiers of the Dai Wangfu, he had never fought against them.
As a result, it suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, as a hundred Jinyi guards, not only is he good at the body, but the armor on his body is also much better than that of ordinary Jinyi guards.
So although he was sent back by the bullet, he did not die immediately.
And Zhu Gui didn't make up the knife.
He just pressed the mechanism, and several pro-soldiers soon rushed in from outside and caught Cui Baihu.
"Remembering that you are loyal and brave, this king will spare your life first, so that you will know the truth of the matter in the future."
Zhu Gui said to Cui Baihu, who was dying.
Cui Baihu's expression was complicated, but because of his serious injuries, he couldn't say a word and was carried away.
And Xu Yingxu soon rushed over.
"Lord Wang, you already knew that he was pretending? You are not allowed to take risks like this again in the future, otherwise what will the princess do? ”
Xu Yingxu said eagerly.
"Okay, General Xu, this king has his own measure, and if you do it, will this king know it? It won't be like this in the future. ”
Zhu Gui was still a little unimpressed, but when he saw that Xu Yingxu was about to speak again, he immediately changed his words.
Although this matter has been resolved, it also shows that Datong Mansion has been infiltrated by Jinyiwei.
How many people they persuaded and what they wanted to do were all things that Zhu Gui didn't know.
And now the enemy is dark and I am clear, which also makes Zhu Gui fall into a passive situation.
But he's not the kind of person who will sit still.
