Chapter 24: The Assassins of the Palace (3)
"Ahem." Zhu Wenyu coughed, broke the silence, and said, "Old man Ouyang, what happened last time ......"
"Zhu Gongzi." Ouyang Xiwei raised his hand to interrupt Zhu Wenyu and stood up: "Don't talk about anything else today." Let me introduce you, this is the 'Gale Flag Roll' Cheng Tianxing, the Cheng Bureau Master of the Gale Dart Bureau, this is the 'Eight Steps Flying Knife' Wei Qinchuan, the Wei Bureau Master of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and this, the 'Tiger Crane Ruyi' Bao Haitu Bao teacher. ”
Ouyang Xiwei hugged his fists and saluted while introducing Zhu Wenyu and the desert, and the three of them also returned the salute with their fists, but they did not speak.
Ouyang Xiwei sat down and continued: "We'll talk about him later." Today, Cheng, Wei, and Bao and I came to look for you, not for other reasons, but for the matter of investigating the Mongolian military situation that you mentioned last time, Zhu Gongzi. ”
"Oh, old man, please." Zhu Wenyu was a little surprised, I don't know if it was because Zhu Di, the king of Yan, greeted Ouyang Xiwei or just because he was working for the country, but it was better not to talk about his assassination of Master Mu Yun, so he said busily.
"The last time Zhu Gongzi came to my Anping Dart Bureau, he mentioned that King Yan and Wei Guogong both wanted to inquire about the Mongolian military situation. After Zhu Gongzi left, I found a few teachers to discuss, it happened that the master of the Cheng Bureau had two disciples in the Mongolian army on errands, the master of the Wei Bureau had a pro-Wei who had been doing business in Mongolia, and Mr. Bao, who also had a good relationship with a thousand commanders in the Mongolian army, the three teachers tried their best to find out some news, the old man felt that the matter was urgent, and came to talk to Zhu Gongzi, Zhu Gongzi is also a person in the officialdom, and asked Zhu Gongzi to report to Yan Wangye and Wei Guogong. ”
Zhu Wenyu didn't expect that the person he wanted to find in Xu Dajun hadn't arrived yet, Ouyang Xiwei had actually taken the initiative to find out some military information, and he couldn't help but feel high, and hurriedly asked: "Thank you for your trouble, old man and teachers, I don't know what news I found?" ”
"The Mongolian military situation has not found out anything important, but there is a major event, which must be reported to Lord Yan as soon as possible."
"Old man, please speak."
"I heard that the Mongols knew that Wei Guogong was seriously ill, and felt that the opportunity was rare, so they repeatedly increased their troops, stationed troops on the border between the two countries, and waited for an opportunity to go south. However, they also heard that King Yan was shrewd and capable, and even if Wei Guogong was seriously ill, he could lead the Ming elite troops to resist the Mongol army, so they sent several masters, intending to assassinate King Yan and then blame Wei Guogong, killing two birds with one stone, and pulling down both Wei Guogong and Yan Wang. In this way, the Ming Dynasty was in a panic, and hundreds of thousands of troops were leaderless, so the Mongolian army could naturally move south and make a comeback. Ouyang Xiwei said.
"Oh? Send a killer to get the king of the stabbing swallow? But I don't know what kind of killer it is? Have you infiltrated Beiping City? Desert was shocked to hear the news and suddenly interjected.
Ouyang Xiwei glanced at the desert and said, "I don't know the details, I just found out the news." I also ask Lord Zhu to remind King Yan to take precautions as soon as possible, if you can use the martial arts people in my Beiping City, just say it clearly, we will serve the country wholeheartedly. ”
"Thank you, old man and all the teachers for finding out such important news, I will immediately go to the Yan King and personally protect it in the next meeting, and I will definitely make those assassins return." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly made a statement.
Ouyang Xiwei took a deep look at Zhu Wenyu and continued: "Zhu Gongzi's martial arts are amazing, and he has passed the four levels of the Mongolian ring, and the old man admires him. If Zhu Gongzi can personally protect King Yan, it can be regarded as a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Wenyu and the desert were suddenly, strange that Ouyang Xiwei could know where they lived, it turned out that it was the last time Zhu Wenyu came to the stage to fight, and his name moved Beiping. The Anping Dart Bureau has been deeply rooted in Beiping City for a long time, and there must be people everywhere who are related, and the two of them must have seen and told Ouyang Xiwei when they returned to the inn, so that he could easily find this inn to visit. However, like Ouyang Xiwei, as a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, he temporarily put aside Zhu Wenyu's assassination of the Shaolin abbot, and went all out to find someone to find out about the Mongolian military situation.
"Old man, rest assured, Zhu will live up to his trust." Zhu Wenyu stood up and clenched his fists, saying this sincerely.
"That's good, the old man will also wait in the dart game, but King Yan has an order, and he will never dare to quit." Ouyang Xiwei was obviously unwilling to talk more to this "suspect" who "assassinated the abbot of Shaolin", and he stood up as he spoke, and hugged his fists: "The old man is waiting to leave!"
Zhu Wenyu wanted to say a few more words to see if he could explain the matter of Shaolin Temple, but when he saw this, he had to close his mouth, and he also stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to Old Man Ouyang." ”
"Don't send it!" Ouyang Xiwei and the four of them had hurried downstairs. Only the two of them were left in the house.
"It seems that this matter is more urgent." In the middle of the night, the desert spoke.
"Yes, we have to inform King Yan as soon as possible and let him take precautions." Zhu Wenyu also said.
"Well, we'll go now?"
"Let's go!" Zhu Wenyu waved his hand and said to leave.
"Ouyang Xiwei's people said that the Mongols already knew that Wei Guogong was seriously ill?" Yan Wang Zhu Di still asked calmly while drinking tea.
"Yes, lord." Zhu Wenyu nodded.
"And send a killer to assassinate me?"
"Old man Ouyang and Cheng Wei all said so. Rajah. ”
"Then what does Lord Zhu think?" Zhu Di put down the tea bowl and looked at Zhu Wenyu and said.
"The subordinates are thinking that although the matter of the Mongolian military situation is urgent, it is not urgent, and the Duke of Wei can fight well and have been on the battlefield for a long time, so he must have taken precautions, but those killers are worried. In the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, you and Wei Guogong are two pillars, and with you two here, the Mongolian army will never dare to invade the south easily. Now that the Duke of Wei is sick in bed, the Mongols must have a wishful thinking to assassinate the prince, so that the army will be leaderless. Therefore, the subordinates think that this matter is still important, and the subordinates can take on the responsibility of guarding the personal guards. ”
"I don't have anything here, but I have to be careful that the Mongols assassinate Wei Guogong." Zhu Di said casually.
Zhu Wenyu was about to speak, but he was blinded by the desert and preemptively said: "Wei Guogong is in the center of the army, there are tens of thousands of Ming soldiers on all sides, it is not easy to assassinate, and Wei Guogong is seriously ill, and the Mongols must target the prince." We also know that the palace is heavily guarded, and the thieves will not succeed, but the grass people discussed with Brother Zhu and wanted to take this opportunity to capture the killer. Since the killer can participate in such a confidential matter, he is also very clear about the movement and intention of the Mongolian army, and if he can be captured, it will also be a shortcut to find out about the Mongolian army. ”
"Then the Mongol killer will come to the Yan Palace?"
"The prince lives in a simple place on weekdays, if the Mongols really want to assassinate the prince, I am afraid that they will only come to the mansion, and they will never come alone." The desert is definitely authentic.
"Well, it's okay, so let's do it, you will stay in the mansion in a few days, and I will ask the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for you, find a way to capture one or two, and ask about the movements of the Mongolian army." Zhu Di pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"Yes, lord." Zhu Sha and the two said together.
"Lord Wang, the grass people and Lord Zhu will move to the palace tomorrow." Desert added.
"Well, okay, I'll talk to Manager Deng, he will arrange it, you come to him." Zhu Di nodded.
As soon as Zhu Wenyu and the desert came out of the Yan Palace, Zhu Wenyu asked, "Eagle, what do you mean by making a look at me just now?" ”
"I'm afraid that you will always say something like protecting the safety of King Yan. King Yan is the prince, naturally he has his face, you always say that you want to guard and guard, doesn't this mean that his house is not peaceful? made him angry and didn't let you protect him, wouldn't that be the end of it? The desert glanced at Zhu Wenyu and said.
"Haha, that's right, yes." Zhu Wenyu touched his head and suddenly realized, and suddenly asked puzzled: "Eagle, you have never been an official, how do you know this?" ”
"Hehe, I've also done things in the yamen. Don't say it's Lord Yan, even a few years ago, when I was a fast catcher, the county commander Wu Guangzu Wu was very face-saving, and he said it one by one. In fact, all the officials are the same, they don't want to take anything in their stomachs, they don't dare to take any risks, and they must still have a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance of being willing to go to the soup for the court and never give up, no matter how afraid of death is in their hearts, they have to make a face that they don't care about this life because of state affairs, all the same, King Yan can't get rid of this reason, and it is impossible for others to see that he is timid. Therefore, we can only say that we want to enter the palace to capture thieves and make contributions to the country, and we must not explicitly say that it is to protect the prince, even if everyone understands that this layer of window paper cannot be broken. ”
"Haha, that's really the case, Eagle, it's really amazing for you, it's a shame that you've only been a catcher for a few years, if you are allowed to stay in the palace for a few years, you won't be fine? Ha ha. The two looked at each other and laughed.
When I arrived at the inn, it was almost dark, Zhu Wenyu was busy greeting the shopkeeper, saying that if the two girls who lived in the inn together last time came to them, let them go to the Yanwang Mansion to find them, and left a tael of silver as a reward, so that the shopkeeper's eyebrows and smiles and couldn't help but say good things, the Tao is to climb the high branch of the Yan King, and it will definitely soar, and Zhu Wenyu laughed secretly in his stomach.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two packed up their bags and came to Yanwang's mansion, thinking that Zhu Di had greeted the chief manager Deng Shaoru, and the chief Deng took the two to settle in the guest room. After eating, Zhu Sha and the others took Deng Shaoru to take them around the palace to inspect the situation in the palace and the layout of the house.
