"Brother Zhu, Brother Nangong, although the two of you in Chengdu this time have been ups and downs, after a lot of things, Brother Zhu has been blessed by misfortune, and his martial arts have made great progress, but only as far as the Tianyi League is concerned, in addition to proving that 'Ruyi Divine Sword' Yu Shixiong is the leader of the Tianyi Alliance, and 'Absolute Sword' Feng Heyuan is the deputy leader of the Alliance, in fact, I have not obtained more information. Although that Wei Guogong is fake, it can't be said that Wei Guogong has nothing to do with the Tianyi Alliance, at least his personal manager is an important figure in the Tianyi Alliance, there is no doubt about this, and Wei Guogong can't get rid of it based on this alone. Desert said as he pondered.

"Yes, although I really don't want to believe that Wei Guogong is the backstage of the Tianyi Alliance, I can't rule out his suspicion, and it is the biggest suspicion." Zhu Wenyu nodded yes.

"That's right, and whether Wei Guogong is the mastermind behind the Tianyi Alliance or not has a great deal to do with us. First, if Wei Guogong is not the mastermind behind the scenes, then this matter will be much easier to handle, with the support of the Tang Sect and the Nangong family, it should not be difficult to deal with Du Feng Feng and Feng Yuan, there should be no problem. But it is best to deal with this matter secretly, otherwise if it really gets to the emperor, it is difficult to say whether the emperor will have a prejudice against the people in the martial arts, just like banning Mingjiao, banning the major sects of the Central Plains martial arts, but it will really become a catastrophe in the Central Plains martial arts. Therefore, if you can not alarm the emperor, it is better not to alarm, who knows what the emperor is thinking? As long as Brother Zhu pays more attention in the court, he can say a few good words for Wulin. ”

Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling glanced at each other and nodded. One of them is in the Nangong family, and they are both the future sons-in-law of the Tang Sect, so it can be said that they have a close relationship with the two major factions in the martial arts, if Zhu Yuanzhang really bans the Central Plains martial arts, it will be a considerable blow to all factions.

Desert paused, took a sip of tea and continued: "The second is that Wei Guogong is really involved, then I'm afraid it won't be something that we in the martial arts can deal with." The Duke of Wei is an important minister of the imperial court, with a heavy army, if he really has a rebellion, there will be a war, and hundreds of people will suffer. Therefore, if it can be confirmed that Wei Guogong is indeed related to the Tianyi Alliance, then the sooner he truthfully reports to the emperor, the better, and the early precautions can be taken, so that the people can avoid war. ”

Zhu Wenyu and Nangong Ling glanced at each other, and they both felt that what the desert said was indeed reasonable.

"So, finding out the relationship between Wei Guogong and the Tianyi Alliance as soon as possible is the most urgent thing at the moment?" Zhu Wenyu asked.

"Exactly." Desert said: "I have been thinking about this matter since I was in the capital, whether Wei Guogong is the backstage of the mastermind behind the Tianyi Alliance is really crucial, otherwise it is really difficult to decide what to do next." The Duke of Wei is the founder of the Ming Dynasty and the first military general in the imperial court, but it is definitely not something that people in the martial arts such as us can deal with. ”

"Did the eagles find out any news in the capital?" Zhu Wenyu asked again.

"No, there is no movement in the Wei State Mansion, all the people who come and go are people from the family, and very few people enter the mansion, even if a few court officials come, we can't verify whether it is related to the Tianyi Alliance, maybe it is those people who come in and out to keep in touch with the Tianyi Alliance."

"And how do you find out?" Zhu Wenyu had a big headache.

"Go to Beiping!" Nangong Lingtu Road next to it.

"Exactly!" Desert patted his thigh: "What I discussed with Brother Nangong means that we had better go to Taiyuan and Beiping, find an opportunity to meet this Duke of Wei on the spot, wait for an opportunity to find out some news, and we can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Well, when are we leaving?"

"Naturally, the sooner the better, don't hide it from Brother Zhu, Brother Nangong and I have already discussed, if we don't wait for Brother Zhu to come for another month, we will go to Taiyuan by ourselves."

Zhu Wenyu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Eagle, let's go alone, the wood will stay in the Tang Gate, and I will pass on a set of martial arts to Xiaoli, and the wood will leave a point and point." "Then quietly squeeze your eyes into the desert.

The desert immediately understood, this was obviously Zhu Wenyu deliberately arranged for Nangong Ling to have more opportunities to be alone with Tang Li, so he said: "Exactly, Brother Nangong doesn't have to go, I'll go with Brother Zhu." However, the Tang Gate is our maiden home, Brother Nangong is in charge of the Tang Gate, and he must keep in touch with us from time to time. ”

Nangong Ling sat there without saying a word, thinking for a while, before he raised his voice and said, "Okay, I'll stay." ”

Zhu Sha and the two glanced at each other, and they both seemed to see a smile in each other's eyes.

"Brother Zhu, Eagle, be careful when you go over there, don't take risks easily." Who is Nangong Ling? Naturally, I won't understand the hard work of Zhu Sha and the others, the three of them have a deep brotherly relationship, and they don't say anything thanks, but just ask.

"Hehe, don't worry, wood, unless Xu Dabeard is really going to reverse, I'm afraid he won't kill me, don't forget that I'm still a bad guy, hehe." Zhu Wenyu grinned.

The matter is urgent, and after a few days of rest in Tangmen, Zhu Wenyu Desert Tang Yun and Maya set off for Beiping, because the desert has long arranged for people from the beggar gang to pay attention to the movements of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and learned that Xu Da was in Beiping at this time.

Zhu Wenyu and the desert were worried that the Tianyi League might have new moves at any time, so they hurried all the way, and the four of them rode all the good horses picked out in Tangjiabao, and it was not yet the beginning of August, and the four of them hurried to Beiping.

If Xu Da is really the master of the Tianyi Alliance, then he must have already known that Zhu Wenyu is the sworn enemy of the Tianyi Alliance, Zhu Wenyu himself originally thought that he would go to Xu Da's residence at night to eavesdrop, but the desert did not agree with his idea. Regardless of the fact that Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, was an important minister of the imperial court and was leading troops, his residence must be heavily guarded, and besides, Xu Da has been in battle for a long time, how rich is his experience? If it is so easy to be overheard about confidential affairs, then he is not Xu Da, besides, Zhu Wenyu is also a court official, in case he is seen to eavesdrop on the private words of another important minister of the court, it is also a matter of great impact for Zhu Wenyu, even if he can catch the evidence, he will lose first.

"What do you say, eagle?"

"Brother Zhu, aren't you an official of the imperial court? Isn't it an old acquaintance with Wei Guogong? Just live in Xuda Mansion! "Desert Road.

"Wonderful!" Zhu Wenyu suddenly realized: "Living in his house, you can observe it nearby, and it restricts his whereabouts, but it makes him unable to talk about his suffering, and he can always catch some clues." Hehe, Eagle, you really came up with this trick. Zhu Wenyu excitedly patted the desert on the shoulder.

"But before he can live in Xu Da Mansion, Brother Zhu has to do one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"I have to go and see King Yan." Desert muttered.

Also, Zhu Di, the fourth son of Emperor Hongwu, was named King of Yan, and the fief was the former capital of Yuan, now Beiping City, Zhu Wenyu arrived here, and it was really unreasonable not to go to meet King Yan first. What's more, when the Jinyi Guard was first set up, it was in charge of King Yan, and speaking of which, Zhu Di, the King of Yan, was still Zhu Wenyu's top boss.

But to be honest, Zhu Wenyu really didn't dare to get close to this Yan King. Although Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is only twenty-five years old this year, he is shrewd and capable, decisive and calm, and has a reputation in the court, Zhu Wenyu knows these things, and he admires them in his heart, but Zhu Wenyu himself is a casual and unruly person who does not like to be restrained, and he is most afraid of dealing with this kind of serious person, the last time Zhu Wenyu saw Zhu Di was killed because of the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Lei, Zhu Wenyu was ready to set off to report to the Nangong family, remembering that the young Yan King's cold face was expressionless and did not say a word, seems to be casually drinking tea, but when he raises his eyes, there is always a sharp divine light, as if it can pierce Zhu Wenyu's heart like a sharp sword, and it has been almost two years since Zhu Wenyu saw through it, Zhu Wenyu felt a little scalp numbness when he thought of that scene, and he really didn't want to face it again. It's just that this Beiping is the territory of King Yan, and Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is the largest important minister of the court except King Yan, if you want to live in Xu Da's mansion to explore the clues nearby, it is impossible not to let King Yan know, it seems that it is inevitable to meet Zhu Di, King of Yan.

"Okay, I'll go." Zhu Wenyu sighed dejectedly.

Zhu Wenyu's sudden request to see Zhu Di was very surprised, he knew that Zhu Wenyu received the holy order of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, and investigated the cause of the death of Nangong Lei, the "Thunder Swordsman", in the rivers and lakes, and later Zhu Wenyu wrote from Sichuan, saying that this matter was related to an organization called the Tianyi League, and what was even more amazing was that even the dozens of murders that had occurred in various places in the past few years were also related to this Tianyi Alliance, which made Zhu Di very shockedSo what's the use of asking for so much money? Coupled with the assassination of Nangong Lei, what does this Tianyi Alliance want to do? Ordinary gangs will not attack Nangong Lei, and they will not need so much property, so the biggest possibility of the plotter is only to rebel, only to raise troops can cost so much financial resources, and only rebellion can think of killing Nangong Lei to seize the power of the palace guards. In this way, it turns out that what the father and emperor guessed is not only possible, but also very likely. The Ming Dynasty has just been established, and there will be people plotting to rebel? This is already very shocking, and what is even more terrifying is that it is impossible to know who the mastermind of the rebellion is, which makes people feel that they want to hit the snake but can't find where the snake is.

For this matter, Zhu Di himself did not waste any effort, and personally checked the case files of various murder cases, but in addition to being sure that the methods of these murders were very similar, they were committed by the same group of people, but they were unprovoked and helpless, so they had to pay attention to the every move of various officials and ministers in the court at any time. But Zhu Wenyu, who has not heard from him for several months, actually came to Beiping without a sound, why is this? Could it be that the clues that Zhu Wenyu investigated would not be able to be found under his Zhu Di's nose? Thinking of this, Zhu Di hurriedly called for a meeting.

Zhu Wenyu entered the main hall of the Yan Palace, and saw that Zhu Di, the Yan King, was sitting on the main seat in the hall.

"It's tea again, and I don't drink too much tea every time?" Zhu Wenyu said secretly in his heart, but his body had already walked over and knelt on one knee: "The deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard will make Zhu Wenyu see King Yan." ”

"Master Zhu, get up." Zhu Di took another sip of tea and said. When I looked up, I almost crooked my nose. How could this Zhu Wenyu wait for him to speak? I've long since stood up.

"There are no rules, no minister's bearing." Zhu Di secretly shook his head in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unmoved, and said, "Lord Zhu, what clues have you given to the matter of tracking down the Tianyi Alliance?" ”

"King Yan, the matter of the Tianyi Alliance is being investigated, and more than ten important martial arts figures in the alliance have been found, but the mastermind behind the Tianyi Alliance in the court has no eyebrows for the time being, King Yan can rest assured, he will try his best to track it down." This guy forgot his identity when he was talking, and actually claimed to be "down" in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's eyebrows jumped slightly, but he didn't say much, only said: "Oh, who are the people in the martial arts?" Is there no clue at all in the court? ”

How dare Zhu Wenyu casually say anything about Xu Da, the Duke of Wei? Busy said: "No, although there are suspicions, but there is really no evidence, this matter is too big, I dare not talk nonsense." ”

"Oh, that's right." Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Wenyu a little strangely, Zhu Wenyu's words were a little strange, it stands to reason that Zhu Di is his top boss, and to what extent the clues are found, he should report to him, even if it is just suspicion, he can also say it to get the support of King Yan to check it more conveniently, not to mention that this kind of silent is really not like Zhu Wenyu's style, there must be some reason why Zhu Wenyu refuses to say it. Zhu Di didn't bother to break it, so he said: "Then Lord Zhu came to Beiping, do you want to find any clues in Beiping?" ”
