Chapter 384: Tuoba Jade
The steppe people lived in pursuit of water and grass, and rarely built cities.
As the core of the royal court, the capital of the Golden Horde, Luocheng had a population of only thirty or forty thousand.
Not only is the castle a rare oval shape, but the layout of the streets and houses in the city is also completely unplanned, the roads are winding and twisting, and the felt bags and stone houses are scattered and scattered, which looks very messy.
Most of the people in the city wore leather robes or linen clothes, and few were well-dressed. But after all, it is within the royal capital, and the clothes of the pedestrians are clean and tidy, and there are no people in rags.
Located in the southwest area of the city, the pavilion covers a vast area with many buildings, enough to accommodate more than 300 members of Wu Feng's guards. The wall is more than a zhang high, and the inner side is densely planted with pine and cypress, and there is a curved water flowing through it.
This was originally the palace of a prince in the royal court, but later the family became extinct, and the mansion was empty, just used to receive Wu Feng and others.
After entering the royal capital, Wu Feng and others met with the Great Khan.
The Great Khan of the Golden Horde was about forty years old, with a mediocre appearance, a fat body, a pale complexion, and an excessively drunken appearance, which did not look like a human king.
When he received the distinguished guests, he was still enjoying the massage of the concubine, and he said words to Wu Feng and the others inarticulately.
Wu Feng also hypocritically said that he must be loyal to the royal court and go to the soup for the Great Khan.
The main street in front of the palace was crowded with people.
Wu Feng was returning to the mansion when he suddenly felt a hand reaching for his waist.
Extremely alert, he reached out and grabbed the man's claws.
He was a young man about his age, ragged, but his eyes were bright.
Wu Feng was about to speak, but when he saw the other party's eyes, with a flick of his fingers, a parchment note fell into Wu Feng's sleeve.
Just in an instant. Wu Feng had already vaguely read the contents of the note.
He understood, pretended to let go of his hand accidentally, and was broken free by the young man, and then he was stunned, and then said loudly: "Catch the thief, this kid stole my money bag!"
The palm of his hand quietly emitted energy. A push on the boy allows him to escape faster.
The boy burrowed into the crowd like a swimming fish, stirred up the crowd for a while, and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Xue Xiyan turned to Wu Feng: "What's the matter?
Wu Feng pretended to be helpless: "Careless for a while, but it's okay, it's not that the Qiankun bag was stolen." The money bag was nothing more than a scrap of silver. ”
"It's really rude, if someone tried to kill you, now your life is gone. Xue Xiyan had also seen the clues, and he still pretended to be pretending.
The two returned to the building. Peruse the note in a secluded place.
The words are written squarely, or too squarely, like a flattened toad, each word is exactly the same size, but the pen power is very insufficient.
It shows that this person is rigorous, but hesitant in his heart, lacking determination and courage.
The note indicated a location, and asked Wu Feng to hide the Hui book there. If promised to meet. He adjusted the armament in the building and wrote the route in the notebook. So that the other party can sneak in secretly one night.
"Could it be a trap?" Xue Xiyan looked cautious.
"Let the Li family bring a few of the most reliable people to ambush, and if there are too many people, immediately come up to support, and raise fire as a signal, and call all the members of the guard. Wu Feng said calmly: "The inside of this royal court was originally the Longtan Tiger's Den, since it is here." How can you be afraid?"
The place they agreed to put the reply letter in was a tavern, and they asked to put the reply in a hole in the wall behind a certain desk. There is no danger in such a place.
Thinking about it so carefully also proves that the other party is a thoughtful person.
Promise night.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, there were no stars and no moon, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Wu Feng and Xue Xiyan lit candles in a remote house.
It's time to get to the appointed time. Then he saw a dark shadow like lightning coming through the wall, approaching in this direction.
Sure enough, he came alone.
Wu Feng smiled.
The other man entered the room like a puff of smoke, dressed in a night suit and covered with a hood over his head, revealing only a pair of eyes and nostrils.
After closing the door, he took off his hood and night clothes, and saw a brocade dress.
This person shook the folding fan and said leisurely: "Wu Feng is in charge, the Soviet military division, fortunately." ”
It turned out to be the Wang Ting Tu Dou Fa and Tuoba Jade that he had seen when the peace agreement was signed.
Tuoba Yu's elder brother Tuoba Mo served as the royal court and was in charge of the military, and was a strong political enemy of Wuming. Tuoba Yu was a henchman of Wuming, and in order to obstruct the peace negotiation, he also sent his own master of Zhengtian and the two heavens, Yan Chongtian, nicknamed the Heavenly Saint King, to challenge the two, and as a result, Yan Chongtian was killed by Wu Feng and Xue Xiyan's sword.
Wu Feng was slightly stunned.
Then he laughed: "Brother Tuoba must not have been sent by Wuming to reconcile with us. ”
Tuoba Yu showed a happy look: "Wu Feng is really a very smart person. ”
Wu Feng said again: "With the identity of Wuming, you can be ungrateful, but you can't help but hold grudges. Now that he has defeated the Kumo Xi tribe with the support of the Ashina Sect, he has not only regained his lost prestige, but also reached a higher level, and the battle of Huifeng Valley has become the biggest stain on his career, and there is only one way to redeem his shame. ”
"Besides, Brother Tai has a secret meeting with us like this, if it is really Wuming's henchmen, if we are not willing to turn enemies into friends with Wuming and kill Brother Tai to weaken Wuming's strength, who can prove that Brother Tai's disappearance is our doing?"
Tuoba Yu folded the fan and swayed: "I am a timid person, and if my life is in danger, I dare not go deep into this place." ”
"So Your Excellency should have been sent by his brother Tuoba Mo to Wuming's side as an undercover agent. Wu Feng said: "However, sacrificing a master of the Conquering Heaven and the Second Heaven to deceive Wuming's trust is too great. ”
Tuoba Yu said: "Yan Chongtian has a problem with his cultivation, and he has gone mad, and there is only one year of longevity left. I asked him to give up this last year, and in return, he would be able to leave behind orphans and widows to enjoy fine food and clothing, which was not very expensive. ”
When Wu Feng thought of killing Yan Chongtian, at the last moment, Yan Chongtian seemed to reveal a trace of weakness, and his heart was like this. At that time, the two of them were not proficient enough in sword practice, and if Yan Chongtian was at his peak, he was afraid that the battle would be more dangerous.
Then he said with a playful look: "I see." If we don't have the ability and are killed by Yan Chongtian, it also proves that we have no value in winning over and cooperating. Dare to ask Brother Tai, did someone Wu say something wrong?"
Tuoba Yu spread his hands: "Don't say it so directly." If that's the case, my brother should not be Wuming's opponent at all, and I can only turn my back on my brother and be truly loyal to Wuming. (To be continued......)
