Chapter 30 Intelligence
As soon as the sky was bright, a horse team entered Langxuan City, led by Du Tanqing, the intelligence leader under the command of King Zuoxian, and followed by Cao Aning and others.
Compared with a few days ago, Cao Aning's status can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, Zuo Xianwang stepped on it, obviously appreciating Cao Aning, which also made Du Tanqing unable to breathe and drink in the tone of his superiors, and even walked side by side on horseback, so as not to be unlucky in the future, and the newcomer would be retaliated against after taking the throne.
However, although Cao Aning has a dark heart, he has always been righteous on the surface, but he is not arrogant when he is appreciated, he deliberately slows down half of his body to follow, and is still humbly asking for advice:
"The prince arranged for us to track down our whereabouts, how should it work? If we are found by the Night Terrors, we are afraid that we will ......"
Du Tanqing rode a horse to the front, glanced at the style of Langxuan City, and responded:
"Today, King Gou Chen will make a difficulty, forcing the Winter Hades to change the patriarch, and the annual endowment will be increased by two percent to apologize to the palace, and the Winter Hades will not agree. As the descendant of the Qi Chi Division, the Night Terror Hall should be able to speak, let's find out the information first, and wait for the master hired by the palace to deal with it......"
After listening carefully to the action plan, Cao Aning nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time glanced at Xu Tianying, who was following him.
Xu Tianying was originally the boss of Cao Aning and the others, but he couldn't speak well, and now he was about to become a follower, so he nodded slightly, and after following for a while, he took the opportunity to scatter into the city to find out information, and left the team alone......
——
Inside the Winter Hades station.
In the early morning, noisy voices sounded outside the tent one after another.
In the bedroom, Pei Xiangjun was lying on his side on the pillow, with a thin quilt under his armpits, revealing his white arms and a half-smeared white circle on his chest, and his eyes were still asleep with his eyes closed.
Night Terror Hall lay behind him, his left hand around his waist and held on the large watermelon that he couldn't control with one hand.
Although I have woken up, the warm and soft touch of my palm came, and I was still a little reluctant to wake up, just hugging Sanniang and feeling the delicate touch transmitted by the skin.
After Xuanji's real body was inexplicably hot last night, Night Terror Hall kept watch outside the tent for two quarters of an hour, and did not relax until there was nothing serious; Because he didn't dare to sleep in the same room with Sister Shuishui, he finally came to Sanniang and successfully woke up the sleeping Sanniang.
Although he didn't want to disturb Sanniang's rest, Sanniang woke up when she woke up, how could she not satisfy the man who touched the bed in the second half of the night.
Then it was half an hour to toss, and it was all Sanniang who took the initiative and didn't allow him to move, and he was so tired that he didn't wake up at this time.
The Night Terror Hall waited behind for a long time, until the sound of the Winter Hades tribesmen walking outside sounded, and the eyelashes of Sanniang in front of him moved, and then he woke up, looked up at the tent door curtain, and then turned around:
"It's dawn, why don't you call me?"
"Look you didn't wake up. It's okay, you can sleep a little longer, I'll just go out and get busy. ”
Pei Xiangjun's affairs have been arranged for all the hall masters, and there is really nothing to do during the day, plus yesterday she was all in power, and her waist was sore, so she didn't insist, but she still supported her body and helped the Night Terror Hall to help put on clothes.
Night Terror Hall sat in front of him, and after putting on a black robe, he wanted to have a good morning kiss.
As a result, Sanniang hurt him a lot, sat up on her knees, bare her upper body, and directly came to kill her head, so that the night terror hall was buried in it to refresh her mind, and then she held her cheek and pouted, before patting her shoulder:
"Okay, let's go out quickly, there are a lot of people outside during the day, don't touch it again, people won't be able to live here if they hear me."
Night Terror touched his cheeks, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and after pressing Sanniang to lie down and cover the thin quilt, he turned around and walked out of the tent.
In the Winter Hades station, there are fewer people than in the past, and the Dongfang Liren, who gets up early, may know who is sleeping in the Night Terror Hall, and he doesn't let anyone disturb him, so he goes to the Wuma Department station not far away early in the morning, looking for a peerless horse that is not inferior to his sister, and Xuanji Zhenren serves as a guard to follow.
After washing up in the night terror hall, I came to Du Yunli's room to look for birds, and found a few girls who were like flowers and jade, practicing singing and dancing in the open space between the tents.
Xiao Yunli is also among them, her appearance is very outstanding, and it can even be said that she is bright and smart, and she is glamorous, and she has the feeling of 'hiding delicate air in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and her voice and smile are gentle', but her outfit is very Jianghu, and she is very eye-catching in the pile of colorful girls, and her dancing demeanor is unexpectedly very good.
The birds, on the other hand, lived up to expectations, slept like piglets in the morning, were placed on resting futons, and did not react to the noise next to them.
After glancing at the night terror, because there were a lot of strange girls, he would inevitably stir up the situation when he got in, so he watched and admired it from a distance, but just after looking at it for a while, the root of his ear moved slightly, and he heard a conversation in the distance:
"What about leaving?"
"I went out just after dawn."
"Why isn't it called Hongu?"
"Niangniang keeps getting up late, am I afraid of disturbing Niangniang's rest......"
……
The night terror hall was worried about the queen mother's injury, but it was too late yesterday to bother, and when he heard that someone was there, he turned around and came to the center, and saw two people before leaving the tent.
The Queen Mother's complexion is indeed a little empty, but her demeanor is still very luxurious in the world, her left hand is held by the red jade, and she is slowly wandering in the sun.
Night Terror came to him and bowed:
"The Queen Mother."
"Ah, surprise."
Seeing the night terrors coming out, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up obviously, and she slowly came to her and looked up and down:
"I heard that you went out and fought again, and you weren't hurt, right?"
"I'm fine. The pharmacist who can relieve the imprisoned dragon miasma has been found, and there is also a clue to the golden scale diagram, and the mother will be safe and sound in a few days. ”
After saying the good news with a smile, Night Terror Hall walked beside the Queen Mother, thought about it and asked:
"Does the Queen Mother have any fire chart learning?"
“……”
The Queen Mother has practiced the genuine fire map for many years, and she is almost in the Mahayana period, and her resilience is so strong that she has a headache, so she definitely doesn't need to learn it anymore.
However, she finally came out for a trip, saying that she might not have anything to do if she was already safe and sound, so she still said very implicitly:
"It's a little obscure, I don't understand it very well, but I still learned a little, my body is quite stable at the moment, I shouldn't be able to die, you don't have to worry too much."
Night Terror nodded, "That's good." If you can learn the fire map, you can learn other maps, and as long as you get the gold scale map, even if you can't find the antidote, you can ensure recovery. When the little trivial matters at hand are finished, I will take the Queen Mother to Liangzhou Hongshan to see the doctor and get the Jinlin picture......"
Go to Hongshan......
When the Queen Mother heard that she was going to the hermitage of the prince and the queen mother in the secret history of Cleopatra, she suddenly came to her senses, but she was also a little worried in her heart - she was not sure if she could make it to Hongshan!
What if the imprisoned dragon miasma is not angry and fails halfway?
"Hmm...... When are we going to go? ”
"Something happened two days ago, causing trouble for the Winter Hades, and it is estimated that it will take two days. Don't worry, don't worry, this poison will definitely be solved, I will take the head as a guarantee......"
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid that you won't have any time to rest after you are busy, and your body will be exhausted. Well...... This palace knows, thank you for your hard work. ”
Night Terror Hall shook his head and smiled, it was okay anyway, so he took the Queen Mother to take a walk in the station to recover, and also went to the place where Xiao Yunli danced to take a few looks.
The empress dowager is not very old, the empress ascended the throne ten years ago, she entered the palace ten years ago, and she is even the same age as the empress, but the empress calls her a mother, and she has to maintain the demeanor of the queen mother of a country, so she looks like a beautiful mature woman with a round and jade pearl.
Seeing a group of girls dancing, the Queen Mother probably wanted to show her versatile side in front of the Night Terrors, so she also pulled Hongyu and walked over, following the girls of the Kanwai clan, dancing quite classical dance music.
Night Terror Hall stood in the distance and watched, and unexpectedly found that the Queen Mother danced very well, and she could feel the agility when she was waiting for the word boudoir.
It's just that the queen mother's clothes are much more magnificent than Xiao Yunli, and she is trembling so that people don't dare to look closely, he can only look left and right to make a serious inspection.
After waiting for a while, the girls did not get tired of jumping, but there was a sound outside.
Night Terror Hall turned his eyes to look, but saw Uncle Song walking quickly into the station, and waved to him from afar.
Seeing this, Night Terror came to the side of a tent and asked:
"Uncle Song, is there something urgent?"
Song Chi came to him and said in a low voice:
"There's a young man outside, claiming to be your subordinate, coming to report the secret, hiding his head and covering his face is quite suspicious......"
My men......
Night Terror Hall was also a little puzzled, thinking that after going back to say hello to the Queen Mother, he followed Song Chi out of the station.
And the queen mother, who danced with her, was hungry because her limbs were weak, and when she saw that the night terror had run away, she naturally lost the interest in continuing to dance, and returned to her residence with Hongyu, and by the way, she also took the sleeping bird away.
Hongyu hadn't eaten in the morning, and was also a little hungry, so she asked:
"Mother, do you have an appetite? Why don't I go and prepare breakfast? ”
The Queen Mother now has an amazing appetite, holding the fat and strong birds, and smelling the fragrance of the flower chicken; But as soon as she thought of Night Terror's words, she still restrained her appetite and frowned:
"This palace is sick to my stomach when I see the food now, don't mention the matter of eating with me these days."
"Huh?"
The bird, who was sleeping heavily, caught the key words, raised his head and looked left and right, and didn't know what he was looking at.
When Hongyu heard this, her face naturally became bitter:
"If you don't want to eat anymore, you have to drink two sips of porridge, and if you don't eat for a few days, what should I do if my mother starves her body?"
The Queen Mother's body can't collapse, and now she has made up her mind, as long as she doesn't starve to death, she will starve to death, and she must hold on to Hongshan, so she is very resolute in her attitude:
"Bengong has no appetite, and you can't swallow it if you forcibly feed Bengong. You go to eat first, and I'll talk to you when Hongu wants to eat. ”
"Oh."
……
——
Night Terror Hall and Uncle Song came out of the station together, avoiding the crowded area, and soon came to the back of a large stable located on the side of the Wuma Department.
Behind the stables was a small aisle, and few people passed through it, and as soon as the night terror hall turned the corner, he saw a warrior wearing a hat on his head, standing in the alleyway and watching from side to side.
"Xu Shaoxia."
"Lord Night."
Xu Tianying saw the night terror hall, so he came to him and bowed his hand, because the young master of the wealthy family in the rivers and lakes was used to it, and he was not very good at saying polite words as a lower person, so he went straight to the point:
"Du Tanqing came to Langxuan City, and was ordered by King Zuo Xian to find out the whereabouts of the adult, and wanted to hire someone to assassinate him. Judging from the words of the observer, the assassin should be the Beiliang Dao Holy Seat Heavenly Martyr, and it is not clear when it will arrive. ”
Night Terror Hall was quite surprised to hear that Cao Aning and the others had sent information so quickly, and nodded:
"Got it. Your master's act of great rebellion has caused countless unwitting disciples in the Cloud Interception Palace to be implicated, and when I return, I will advise the Holy Lord to consider this matter so as not to cause the sins of one person to affect thousands of innocent people. ”
"Master Xie."
After Xu Tianying thanked him, he said:
"In addition, there is another more important news, which Cao Aning inquired about. Because of his foresight, Cao Aning reminded King Zuo Xian not to provoke Lord Ye, and was appreciated afterwards, and when discussing how to deal with adults, he was a staff officer next to him and heard a secret story. ”
"What's the secret?"
"Twenty years ago, the Northern Liang court promised heavy profits and rebelled against several princes of the Northwest Royal Court, these people are also the patriarchs of various tribes, and their influence is very great, so that the ministries cannot be twisted into a rope, among which the highest official position is the great Sima at that time, that is, Sima Yue, the king of Gouchen."
Xu Tianying glanced in the direction of the center of the city and continued:
At that time, Sima Yue had a heavy army in his hands, and on the surface he fought with the king of Tianlang in the south and the north, and secretly drove his relatives to deliberately provoke internal strife, which led to the inability of the army to assemble quickly, resulting in the final defeat of the whole army. During the retreat, he deliberately brought the remnants of the royal court to Liaoyuan, and then broke through alone, and King Zuo Xian completely destroyed the northwest royal court because of this......
"Originally, the promise given to Sima Yue was to let him succeed King Tianlang, but Beiliang lost his word, and Sima Yue also tried to rebel with various departments, but was suppressed by King Zuoxian. Nowadays, although the Gouchen Department will pay heavy taxes like the ministries, the tax and silver will be secretly returned in various ways, but in more than ten years, the Gouchen Department has become the leader of the Xihai Ministries......"
After listening to the words of the old wizard Han Ting, the Night Terror Hall had some doubts about Sima Yue in his heart, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly realized, and he nodded:
"Got it, but any other news?"
Xu Tianying said: "King Zuo Xian sent a message and asked King Gou Chen to take the lead and put pressure on the Winter Hades Department, the purpose is to make the Winter Hades King abdicate and replace him with an obedient person as the patriarch." By the way, I used this incident to lead Lord Night to appear, and put the name of deliberately provoking a war and forcing the various ministries to rebel on your head, so that you would not subdue the hearts of the various ministries.
"King Zuo Xian will not rashly send troops from my point of view, Lord Ye can use the past enmity as an excuse to confront King Gou Chen, and then take the matter of offending King Zuo Xian on himself.
"In this way, the Winter Hades Department is just following the faith and returning to the old master, and the ministries have no reason to say that the Winter Hades Department is not, and King Zuo Xian has nothing to do with you, in case the ministries really follow you to restore the Northwest Royal Court, maybe they will also settle the matter and reduce taxes to win over the ministries. However, the premise is that Lord Ye can get King Gou Chen and get out of Langxuan City alive. ”
Night Terror Hall felt that the dark stake he had conquered was indeed much better than the spies of the imperial court, and he approved:
"I'll take care of that. No matter what you do, I will truthfully repay the merits to the saints, and if one day you have merit in expanding your territory, it is not surprising that you will receive the same reward as the Xuanyuan Dynasty. ”
"Xu Mou wears a guilty body, what he did in the past is nothing more than to repay the teacher's kindness, and the saint can forgive the past sins, which is enough to make Xu Mou grateful to Dade, and others dare not ask for extravagance."
After Xu Tianying thanked him, he said, "By the way, there is one more thing that I have to ask Lord Ye to do me a favor." Du Tanqing is the intelligence leader under the command of King Zuo Xian, a few days ago because of an intelligence error, he almost let King Zuo Xian capsize in the gutter, King Zuo Xian was quite dissatisfied with it, but Cao Aning was appreciated. Now that Du Tanqing has arrived in Langxuan City, Cao Aning means ......"
Song Chi, who was listening behind him, although he was in a fog, he understood the meaning when he heard this, and raised his hand:
"Understood. I'm going to slaughter Du Tanqing, and the matter will be pushed to the head of Jingtang, and then I will leak my whereabouts and let you take it back to receive the reward. ”
Seeing this, Xu Tianying didn't talk nonsense anymore, and after explaining the hiding places of several people, he was ready to leave and reminded before leaving:
"Du Tanqing is a white paper fan, and his martial arts are not high, but he is accompanied by two masters of the White Owl Battalion as guards. It's best for you to beat Cao Aning when you come over, just like beating Hu Yanjing, he himself thinks that you are here to kill him, so that he can deceive King Zuoxian's cloth. ”
Night Terror naturally understood this and asked:
"What about you?"
"I'm patrolling outside, don't go back first, otherwise except for Lord Ye, others may not be able to hurt Du Tanqing in front of me."
After Xu Tianying finished speaking, he jumped lightly and disappeared into the tents.
Seeing Xu Tianying leaving, Night Terror Hall thought about various information for a while, then turned around and said:
"Let's go, let's go solve some minor troubles first."
Song Chi followed a few steps, thought about it and shook his head:
"There seems to be a meeting in the city today, and as soon as the day dawns, the Winter Hades King has brought the clan elders over. Since King Gou Chen has bad intentions, you are afraid that you have to be present first to prepare for the unexpected, and these news are empty, if you want to expose the shortcomings of King Chen, you must first check the accounts or something as evidence. As for the matter of extinguishing the mouth, I will just go with Yuan Qing, and I will ensure that things are done neatly. ”
Night Terror Hall thought about it, but King Zuo Xian's subordinates were like clouds, and it was indeed a little stressful to let the two hall masters pass, so he spoke:
"I'll go and tell She Long and the injury to leave, and the four of you will go together, and the white-haired Di will listen to the formation behind you. Lord Meng and Black and White Impermanence both know Cao Aning, just to avoid accidental injury, leave a few alive after killing people, and then let Lord Meng bring a few cruel words to King Zuo Xian in the name of the imperial court, so that the disaster can be brought to me, so that Cao Aning and they will not be suspected of ......"
Song Chi nodded, and immediately returned to the station with the Night Terror Hall, and began to gather people and do things separately......
