Chapter 33: Brothers (1)
Murong Zhao said: "Xiang Chong is just a little brocade guard who has just started like Zhang Ying, he has been here for less than three months, so he doesn't have any enemies, right?" Liao Jianzhong pondered for a moment and said: "He is more familiar with the capital, but he is not so late that he will not return at night, hey, it was too chaotic last night, I really don't know, where can he go?" Don't mention him for the time being, Lord Murong, I haven't been able to understand, obviously I can catch Liu Qingfeng last night, what did Dongchang come to participate in? Is there something in there that can't be done? Murong Zhao smiled indifferently and said, "This is inevitable, how many big crimes Liu Qingfeng has committed, but he is at large, although he has some skills, we are not vegetarians." But there are a lot of people who have eyes and hands, you know? Last night, Lord Mu was specially called into the palace to accompany the emperor. He only knew that we were going to arrest Liu Qingfeng, but he didn't know that we were blocked back, presumably if he knew, he would definitely be furious. But what can we do about last night's situation? ”
Liao Jianzhong said with a smile: "Lord Murong has always gotten along well with his father-in-law, so he can't know some secrets?" Murong Zhao glanced around, walked a few steps, and said, "What do you think I can know?" Master Mu has always warned us not to be too close to our fathers-in-law. And the fathers-in-law are also intriguing with each other, and the current situation is a three-legged ...... Hi! Seeing me on the side, he waved his hand and motioned me to go out, I got up to leave, Murong Zhao suddenly said: "You should be careful, I always feel that there is something strange here." Liao Jianzhong suddenly realized, yawned, and said, "Regardless of its big things, you can sleep first!" Let's all rest. ”
How not to be weird, it's a little inexplicable, I thought to myself, and said goodbye. The sun was shining and I realized that I was too tired and decided to go back to my room and sleep.
Today, the Zhenfu Division seems to be very idle, everyone is lazy, I suddenly thought of what happened last night, today someone wants to give the emperor two pills! I was shocked, and I looked around a few times, but it was still as calm as ever. Did I have a dream? How can everyone be when I don't exist?
I thought, but I went back to my room, where Hardy was, and when he saw me returning, with a smile on his swarthy face and white teeth, "You're finally back!" ”
My body shook, it seems, I am not dreaming! Hurriedly smiled: "I'm fine, what's wrong?" Hardy was dazed for a moment, blinked and said, "I guess you don't know, the Suppression Division is about to turn into porridge!" ”
Hardy told me what happened after I left: Hua Shichun thought that the person who stayed in place was Yu Qi, so he didn't deliberately chase after the three of them, that is, I followed them alone. When they saw the man clearly, they woke up like a dream and realized that they had been deceived. And Ning Boyang found that the Jinyi guards here were all clicked on the acupoints, and after unlocking them, they realized that there were two people on the other side, who were extremely agile, and they clicked everyone's acupoints almost at the same time, and when we came in, they couldn't speak, so they had to watch Yu Qi escape.
Soon, Liao Jianzhong came back, and learned that not only Yu Qi escaped, but also I was nowhere to be found, changed his usual calmness, was very angry, and reprimanded Hua Shichun for not doing things well, you must know that Hua Shichun has followed him for many years, like a brother, fortunately, Gu Dayou and Ji Maotong returned one after another, and persuaded each other with good words, Liao Jianzhong just gave up, Yue Ziqian hid far away, the strange thing is that Liao Jianzhong did not blame him, you must know that he is in charge of the edict, but let Hua Shichun, Gu Dayou, and Ji Maotong find it overnight, but ordered not to go out to find me, They made a fuss in the middle of the night, and they came back one after another, but they didn't find me. Liao Jianzhong didn't say much this time, just let everyone have a good rest today, and he seemed to have an idea.
Listening to Hardy's words, I let out a long breath, and I took a breath again, it seems that the Suppression Division is indeed looking for me, and I made a fuss all night last night, so today seems to be quiet. But for some reason, after I came back, Liao Jianzhong didn't move at all. There's definitely something going on here, I just don't know right now. I asked about Xiang Chong's whereabouts, Hardy said: "This is the more strange thing, you were gone, Xiang Chong was the most anxious, everyone went out in a swarm, looking around the North Town Fu Division, but you didn't find it, returned to the Zhen Fu Division, counted the number of people, he was still gone." We searched almost all over the place, but we couldn't find his figure at all, and we didn't dare to make a big splash, so we had to come back. Thankfully you came back safely, where did you go last night? ”
I vaguely said that I was lost, because it was an imperial city, I didn't dare to move, and I found a temple to hide. Hardy naturally took my word for it. I was sleepy and tired, and though I thought about Xiang Chong, I was sleepy, so I lay down and prepared to sleep, and when Hardy saw me lying down, he only said that I was sleepy, and left with interest.
I didn't want Hardy to leave, but I didn't feel sleepy, and after tossing and turning for a long time, I accidentally touched the book in my arms, and my heart moved, and when I saw that there was no one around, I took out the book. Open the tarpaulin, inside is tung oil filtered kraft paper, after opening, is a picture album and a brocade box, I first opened the brocade box, it turned out to be a bead, crystal clear, engraved with a "eight" character, and this album looks very ordinary, only twenty pages, the first eighteen pages are maps, it turned out to be the Ming provinces and border maps, sea maps, the last two pages, a page densely written with names and addresses, all over the country, the last painting, look like that should be an island, It was painted with an old man without a beard, surrounded by four or five people who were also beardless.
I really didn't understand, I remember Bao Song said when he died, let me hand over the book to Bao Xiaobai, although I have nothing to do with Bao Song, but I am entrusted by others, I always have to do it. It's just that where is this Bao Xiaobai, I only vaguely know that he should be in Jinyiwei.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and I quickly wrapped my things, put them under me, and pretended to sleep.
When someone came into the house and saw that I was asleep, they seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still shouted: "Zhang Ying! "It's Ning Boyang, I don't know what he's looking for me, I only feel that he doesn't seem to look down on me in the past, so I have to continue to pretend to be asleep, he screamed twice in a row, I can't pretend to be asleep anymore, rubbed my eyes, sat up, he was unusual, and said to me with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, call you up!" ”
I smiled and shook my head, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little sleepy, just take a nap." Ning Boyang nodded and said, "I heard that the commander of the Jinyi Guard is going to be replaced, do you know?" ”
In the past, Xiaoma's father-in-law said that when Mu Bin is old, he wants to be a leader; And last night in Dongchang, I heard Qian Tong say that his brother Qian Cai was about to become the commander of Jinyiwei. To be honest, I don't have much interest in the change of command of the Jinyi Guard. I didn't want to tell him what I experienced last night, so I had to say vaguely: "Yesterday, I only remember what the Ma Gonggong said, but I don't know if it's true or not." What's wrong, there's a change? ”
Ning Boyang looked at me, his eyes were strange, as if he could see that I was lying, which made me very uncomfortable, he suddenly smiled "hehe", patted me on the shoulder, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Last night, we went to catch Liu Qingfeng, it was ordered by Commander Mu personally, but it was stirred up by Dongchang, he was very angry, and went directly to the master of ceremonies Wang Yue's father-in-law, and the two quarreled. You must know that our Jinyi Wei is listening to the celebrant supervisor, and the two have some friendship, but such a fuss also hurts the harmony, so there is a word in the palace to ask Mou to command the envoy. I said, "We are all newcomers, and we haven't seen who the commander is." Now that it's changed, it doesn't make a big difference. Ning Boyang was stunned for a moment, then looked outside, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, you are Gonggong Zhang's person, and I'm Gonggong Qiu's person, Gonggong Qiu and Gonggong Zhang are like brothers, and they are also the cronies of His Royal Highness the Prince, so we must also race against brothers." Although you and I are both newcomers, I am a year older than you, I have more experience than you, I don't speak outside, we all have to work hard, do a good job, in the future, Jinyiwei will be ours. ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, and said, "Brother Ning, I just came here, and I used to be just an unobtrusive You Fang Langzhong, and I really don't understand the rules here!" Ning Boyang smiled and said: "I came to you, and I also told you that the commander will change people immediately, and don't be in a hurry to do some cases. How can a good man not make a contribution? He spoke with great impossiveness, and a look of arrogance appeared on his handsome face.
