Chapter 174: The King's Heart is Unfathomable
For Zhu Di, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
Although he knew that there were two masters of Wang An and Zheng He around him, and his life was worry-free, he was still a little worried.
Tossing and turning, he couldn't sleep, casually flipping through a book.
The contents of the book are all about the geography of the border city.
He watched with undivided attention.
So much so that there were footsteps approaching outside, and he couldn't notice it at the first time.
He was taken aback until the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded outside the door.
And before he could react to anything, Zheng He had already pushed the door in and bowed to him respectfully.
"Master, those people before were indeed assassins, but we took care of them. It's a pity that they carried poison with them and they all died. ”
Zhu Di was not surprised.
"We can find out who they are."
Zheng He replied.
"They're all high-minded people, and one of them looks a little familiar. It seems to be a general. ”
Zhu Di smiled.
"Very well, if such a person continues to lurk in our territory, there may be some kind of moth that will come out. In this way, we can be regarded as relieving a major problem. ”
There was a lot of trouble outside, which naturally attracted a lot of people to come and watch.
When Zhu Di went out, he saw the shopkeeper, Xiao Er, and a few guests discussing around the corpses.
"Oh my God, why did so many people die?"
"I know that person. It was supposed to be the tall Iron Cavalry General, Layton, who I had seen before. But how did he end up here? ”
"Hurry up and report to the official......"
The lofty Leighton, Zhu Di has also heard of it.
This man was indeed decisive in his killing, and it was said that he was Harley's right and left hand......
He will be sent to Daming, and it is estimated that the target is himself.
It's just that this person miscalculated, he didn't expect that there were two masters lurking around him, so he acted rashly.
Someone has already reported to the government, so it won't be long before someone from the government will come and investigate this matter thoroughly.
Zhu Di didn't want too many people to know about his micro-service going to the border pass, so he quietly left through the back door with someone, leaving only Zheng He with two people to deal with the aftermath.
At this time, it was still early, the sky was not yet dawn, and the official road was still deserted.
The carriage moved slowly.
Zheng He rode his horse and followed the car.
"We can arrive in Mingcheng today. Do you want to call someone over in advance to inform Ye Wuwu? ”
Zhu Di responded.
"No, but you can arrange a place to stay in advance."
Zheng He was a little confused, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhu Di's gourd?
Does he mean to watch the battle in secret?
Sure enough, the gentleman's heart is unpredictable.
At dawn, they arrived at a small town.
The hungry crowd found a shop on the side of the road, prepared to pad their stomachs, and then continued on their way.
The bun shop was overcrowded, and everyone was chatting and chatting lively.
Zhu Di took a big bite of the bun and looked out of the window from time to time.
From time to time, there are businesses passing by on the road, as if the two countries are at war, which does not affect the common people.
At a table not far from them, two old men, with gray hair and beards, were talking.
"I think Gao Yuan is dead this time."
"I can't say that, I heard that Harley personally dispatched and mobilized a million troops to come and reinforce him. If it weren't for the fact that the team was infected with the epidemic, it is estimated that we would not wait for the two princes to come over, and our side would have lost our hands. ”
"Who are you listening to? You're too well-informed. ”
"You don't care about it, anyway, my news is conclusive. Although we have Lord Ye Wuwu Ye sitting in the formation, we also have reinforcements from King Zhao and King Liang. Nor does it take any advantage. ”
"If you say so, it looks like we're all supposed to leave here. Otherwise, if you really fight here, it's hard to say whether you can save your life. ”
……
The topic of two people attracts the attention of others.
A young man moved his bowl directly to their table.
"Two old men, do we really have no chance of winning this time? Our ancestors have lived here for generations, how can we live without here? ”
One of the old men smiled and spoke.
"We're also guessing. We are not in the army, how can we know so much? ”
Another old man laughed.
"We're going to die here, even if we die. But I think you young people can go outside and avoid the limelight. You don't see so many business trips on the street, many people are just pretending to be businessmen, but they actually want to hide. ”
Zhu Di listened casually at first, but later he couldn't help but change his face.
It turned out that the people were already in turmoil.
Wang An, who was sitting beside him, frowned at this time, and then went directly to the old man's table.
"Old man, I heard some time ago that it seems that many high-minded people have infiltrated our territory. I wonder how they got here, the two countries have already started a war, and the flow of people should be difficult. ”
An old man strokes his gray beard.
"Some of them should have infiltrated the border city before Takato captured it. It can be seen that Harley is really cunning. ”
"The other part, I suspect they all came by the trail. It is said that there are many masters near the border, and you can climb the cliff to come. ”
"But ordinary people can't try it, it is said that it is easy to get lost over there, and there are many wild beasts. And only the nearby hunters dared to pass from there. ”
Wang An was dumbfounded.
"It turns out that there is another passage between the border city and the enemy country? It's incredible. ”
The old man shook his head.
"It's nothing, it's a very difficult road, and the cliffs are very steep. It is impossible for a tall brigade of men and horses to come from that kind of place. ”
Wang An also tried to get some more information out of the old man's mouth, but it seemed that the old man knew only that.
When everyone had almost eaten and returned to the carriage, Wang An couldn't help but sigh.
"It looks like the terrain on this side of the border is very complicated. This battle is a bit more difficult to fight. ”
Zhu Di was also depressed because of the old man's words.
"Yes, ordinary hunters can still come to our Ming territory through the cliffs. Naturally, there are also people from the Gao Yuan Army sneaking over, and it is estimated that there will not be a few. They are in the dark, and we are in the light. We need to be careful. ”
The carriage moved slowly.
It should be daytime, so there are more cars and pedestrians on the road.
A car caught up from behind, as fast as an arrow off the string, and almost hit the pedestrians on the side of the road.
The passer-by was so angry that he covered his scratched face and jumped to his feet and scolded.
"Don't you have long eyes when you walk? What's the matter? It's great to have a little money. Hurry up to reincarnate ......"
