Chapter 0332 Unexpected
Lishui Village, located about ten miles north of Baique Villa, is a small mountain village with only a few dozen households, and Li Zhen and Di Yan found the village head, Yao Qigong, at Yao's house in the east of the village.
"It's okay for both of you, God willing!"
Yao Qigong was shocked, and hurriedly invited Li Zhen and Di Yan into the house, and asked his daughter-in-law to pour water for them, Li Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, Qigong! Wu Furong doesn't dare to do anything to us, it's too late for her to beg me to keep it secret for her!"
Yao Qigong suddenly remembered the gold medal on Li Zhen's waist, so he cautiously asked, "Gongzi is the internal guard General Li who got rid of Lai Junchen?"
"How does the Seventh Duke know?" asked Li Zhen with a somewhat puzzled smile.
Yao Qigong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, he was not afraid of the royal family, but the internal guard really made him feel timid, he said repeatedly: "Xiaomin doesn't know that it is General Li, please forgive Xiaomin for being rude." ”
Li Zhen couldn't smile bitterly, and hurriedly helped him up, "Qigong, please get up, I'm not so scary!"
Yao Qigong sat down tremblingly, and Li Zhen smiled again: "I want to go into the house on the mountain once at night, but I don't know much about the layout of the house, can I ask Qigong to help." ”
Yao Qigong thought for a moment and said, "There are two people in the village who went inside to help last year, they should know very well, I will go and find them." ”
Li Zhen was overjoyed, "Then thank you Qigong!"
At night, the entire Baique Mountain Villa was quiet, the mountain road and the woods were quiet, and there was no figure, but Li Zhen and Di Yan did not take the mountain road they walked through during the day, but under the guidance of the villagers, they went up the mountain from another secret path, since Wu Furong's secret was so important, then Wu Furong was likely to send someone to monitor the mountain road to prevent them from going up the mountain.
Soon, the two of them touched the east wall of the house on the top of the mountain, and the two climbed a big tree with lush foliage, using the cover of branches and leaves to spy on the situation in the house.
With the help of two villagers who were familiar with the inside of the house, they drew a detailed plan of the internal structure, which made it easy for them to find the inaccessible warehouse area, which is also the area within the current wall, and after observing for a while, they did not see anyone.
Di Yan pinched the back of Li Zhen's hand, smiled at him, and jumped into the compound as lightly as a swallow, she rolled lightly on the ground, then leaned into the corner of the wall, observed for a moment, and then disappeared into the darkness.
From beginning to end, she was silent, agile and fast, Li Zhen had to admire Di Yan's superb light skills, including the most powerful warriors in the internal guard, who could not compare with Di Yan.
However, he was really a little worried about Di Yan's safety, and slowly tightened the handle of the knife, once something abnormal happened in the mansion, he would rush in without hesitation
On the roof of the back house, Di Yan stuck to the ridge of the roof motionless, her eyes were firmly fixed on a figure walking towards this side, although she couldn't see the face of the person who came clearly, but from the other party's walking posture, Di Yan judged that the person who came was Wu Furong, and the kind of pretending to twist her hips was Wu Furong's usual movements.
I saw Wu Furong carrying a lantern and walked into an empty courtyard of the back house alone, there were no lights in several houses, to be precise, the windows were covered by thick cowhide, so that the light in the room could not be heard, Wu Furong walked to a room and knocked on the door, "Who is it?" An old voice came from the room.
"It's me, Fleur!"
The door creaked open, and suddenly a large light came out of the crack in the door, and then the face of a middle-aged man was revealed, he pulled Wu Furong in, looked around the courtyard again, closed the door, and the light disappeared from the ground again.
And Di Yan, who was lying on the opposite wall, was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, she actually saw a person who should never have appeared in Luoyang, Wu Chengsi, it was him, Di Yan believed that he was not mistaken, including his voice, he should be in Guangzhou, and actually lurked back to Luoyang.
Di Yan ran briskly under the roof of the small courtyard like a night cat, and she slowly uncovered a piece of tiles, revealing a gap, and from the gap she saw the situation in the room.
In the room, Wu Chengsi sat on the soft couch, holding a bewitching and beautiful young woman in his left and right hands, even more bewitching and young than Wu Furong, Wu Furong obviously didn't like these two women very much, and glared at them fiercely, "You still don't retreat!"
The two women wanted to get up and retreat, but they were tightly hugged by Wu Chengsi's waist, making them unable to move, Wu Chenghe's head was already half bald, the other half turned gray-white, the flesh on his face also drooped, and his eyelids were frighteningly swollen, and at first glance he was a body hollowed out by wine.
Although Wu Chengsi lived a drunken life in Guangzhou, he was never reconciled, and after Wu Furong found a person who looked like him as a stand-in to stay in Guangzhou, he followed Wu Furong to secretly leave Guangzhou and go north, hiding near Luoyang, and only came to Baique Villa last night.
He squinted his eyes and smiled: "They are all brought by me from Guangzhou, and they are people I can trust, you just have to say it!"
"You're going to die in their bellies sooner or later!"
Wu Furong scolded in a low voice, helpless, she had to hate and say: "Li Zhen and Di Yan have been here this afternoon, don't you know!"
"What!"
Wu Chengsi was so frightened that he almost jumped up, the person he hated and feared the most was Li Zhen, he didn't expect him to find out here, he asked in a trembling voice, "Is he here to track me down?"
Wu Furong snorted and said coldly: "Why did they come, I don't know, according to Li Zhen himself, it was because the Holy Lord rewarded him with this manor, he came to take a look, I don't know if it's true?"
Wu Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief, he would rather believe that this was the truth, this mountain villa had indeed been taken back by the Holy Lord, and it was completely normal to reward Li Zhen again, it was said that he had made a lot of achievements in Liaodong.
Speaking of which, he also felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this matter in front of two women, so he slapped each of the two women on the buttocks with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Get out!"
The two women ran out with a crawl, and Wu Chengsi smiled lightly and asked, "Then what did Li Zhen say?"
Wu Furong saw the change in her father's mood, he obviously no longer took Li Zhen's unexpected appearance to heart, which is also something that Wu Furong has been very distressed about, her father was extremely unqualified in political struggles, and was repeatedly played by Wu Sansi, and finally became the scapegoat for Li Wu's dispute, and was deposed to Lingnan.
And Wu Sansi, who was really planning behind the scenes, has risen step by step, and has recently been promoted to Xiangguo, in comparison, his father seems so stupid, including secretly returning to Luoyang this time, and persuading him to use the excuse of being seriously ill, and imploring the saint to promise him to take one last look at the ancestral land, so that the possibility of the saint agreeing is extremely great, although it is to return to Hedong, but it is much better than exile in Lingnan.
But my father just wanted to go back to Luoyang, didn't listen to his advice, and secretly lurked back, which invisibly added to his sin, but after returning to Luoyang, he didn't dare to show up, what was the point?
Wu Furong thought of her father's indulgence, she couldn't help but be angry and hateful, gritted her teeth and said, "You don't care what he said, if he finds out that you are hiding here, what should you do?"
Wu Chenghe's face sank, and he was extremely dissatisfied: "What is your attitude, is this the tone in which you speak to your father?"
Wu Furong was also annoyed, "You hide here all day playing with women, do you still care about the tone of my speech?"
"Bastard!"
Wu Chengsi slapped the table heavily and roared angrily: "You think I'm willing to do this! You killed those two women, you see that it's not a pity for me, I gave birth to your useless daughter, if you don't want to help me, just get out of me!"
Wu Furong stomped her foot in anger, slammed the door and went out, only Wu Chenghei who was hysterically angry was left in the room, Di Yan on the roof suddenly had a strong thought, how easy is it to kill Wu Chenghei at this time?
But Di Yan finally restrained the murderous intent in her heart, she knew the serious consequences of killing Wu Chenghe, she would cause big trouble if she was quick for a while, and Li Zhen was waiting for her outside, if Li Zhen agreed to kill Wu Chengsi by herself, it would not be too late for her to come back and do it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait any longer, and quickly left the back house, running along the ridge to the east wall, and in just a moment, she jumped out of the high wall and returned to Li Zhen's side.
Li Zhen hugged her in his arms and complained in a low voice: "Why did you only come out now, if you come out a little later, I will go in." ”
Di Yan didn't break free of Li Zhen this time, let him hold her, she smiled and said, "Guess who I saw?"
"It's Wu Chenghei, right?"
Di Yan was stunned, "How did you guess?"
When Li Zhen saw Di Yan's expression, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and he smiled a little proudly: "I thought about it again and again, and I felt that there was only one possibility for Wu Furong's abnormality this afternoon, there were extremely important items or people hidden in the house, if it was a large number of items, it would inevitably be discovered by the villagers, and it was the most likely person, so who could it be?"
"So you guessed Wu Chenghe?"
Li Zhen nodded slightly and smiled: "I think, so many things have happened in Luoyang, how can Wu Chengsi be willing to stay in Lingnan, seeing that the crown prince has no share of his own This is not his character, he will definitely come back, even if the female emperor does not agree, he will come back." ”
Di Yan sighed softly, "You're right, I did see Wu Chenghe, which really surprised me. ”
Di Yan told the conversation between Wu Furong and Wu Chengsi, she saw that Li Zhen was pondering, so she stopped talking, Li Zhen pondered for a long time, suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Then what?"
"Then Wu Furong left the room in a rage, and Wu Chengsi was the only one left in the room, so I wanted to go down and kill him and avenge him for framing my father!" Di Yan gritted her teeth and said.
Li Zhen was stunned, "You won't-"
"Of course not!"
Di Yan glanced at him and said angrily: "If I kill him, will I still talk to you slowly here?"
"However, I really want to kill him, do you think it's feasible?" Di Yan asked again, biting her lip.
Li Zhen shook his head, "I can't wait to kill him with one sword, but he is a sharp weapon against Wu Sansi, and it's really a pity not to make good use of him." ”
"Do you want to talk to him?"
"It's okay to talk, but it's not the time yet, I have to make a decision after I have a clear goal for him, I believe that he fled all the way back from Guangzhou, there must be some intention, as long as we keep an eye on Wu Furong, we know what Wu Chengsi wants to do." ”
Di Yan thought for a while and said, "It's better to keep an eye on them for you, and then you go back and find a few brothers to replace me, and you must come before noon tomorrow, otherwise, this girl will not be accompanied." ”
Li Zhen was grateful, hugged her tightly, and said with a smile: "I want to leave someone to monitor them, but it's not you, I'll stay, you go back to Zhao Qiuniang and ask her to arrange a few brothers to come over." ”
"No! No, I'll stay. ”
Di Yan suddenly became a little anxious: "I'm better than you, they can't catch me if they find out, if you are caught by Wu Chenghe, he won't let you go." ”
"I won't let him find out, go quickly! Take my gold medal into the city and go directly to Zhao Qiuniang. ”
After speaking, Li Zhen took out the gold medal and gave it to Di Yan, Di Yan had no choice but to tell Li Zhen a few words, turned around and jumped off the tree, her shadow soon disappeared into the darkness, Li Zhen looked at her away, thought about it, jumped off the tree, and ran towards the main entrance.
