Volume 15: The Winner Is King Chapter 1202 Blood Oath Conference
After discussing it repeatedly for five or six days, Hu Wei still decided to make peace first and then to fight, the good mandala that can not fight without fighting has experienced so many wars, and now Qin Ming and the demon clan have no movement, it is a good time to recuperate, if there is another war, the foundation of the mandala will be finished, and when the demon clan and Qin Ming make another move, the mandala side is afraid that it will no longer be able to withstand their attack
According to intelligence analysis, the small forces will have a blood oath conference in the near future, and then the big and small forces will send important people to participate in Hu Wei's decision to take a trip, if he can, Hu Wei hopes to solve this matter at the blood oath meeting The place where the blood oath meeting was opened is in Yinshan, Zhongzhou, Hu Wei arranged the affairs in the army, and set off to Yinshan, this time it was Zhu Daneng who went with Hu Wei
Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng are just one of them, and at the same time, there are also 3,000 soldiers of the guard battalion led by Yaya and Jebe, Hu Wei has already made the worst plan in his heart before leaving
Of course, what Hu Wei hopes most is that he doesn't need to dance, Hu Wei is not afraid of fighting, but it is somewhat unnecessary, and he can still try not to fight without fighting, and the Immortal Bird Legion no longer needs to do war to prove anything, and now the precious thing is peacetime
Zhongzhou Yinshan is not a big city, but a small town, this town is on the Kyushu River, because of the water and land transportation is very developed, and has become a very important commercial distribution center
Speaking of Yinshan, this place is still very interesting, under normal circumstances, where there is such a good water and land transportation, will get very good development, the seventy-two cities of the Mandala Empire are basically developed in this way, but Yinshan is different, its traffic is very good, there are many businessmen, but the development is not big, the reason is that it is a water city
Water City Yinshan is the only town built on the water in the Mandala Empire, 80% of the houses in the entire Yinshan are built on the water, people come and go in addition to walking, most of them use boats, many times, taking a boat is faster than walking
It is precisely because of this geographical environment that many people are not accustomed to living here, in addition to the local people, most of the outsiders live here for three or five days and leave, and there is not so much permanent population, so it is naturally impossible to develop into a big city
After seven days of galloping, Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng changed boats to enter Yinshan for many years of war, which made cities like the imperial capital have been greatly affected commercially, and Yinshan is still so lively due to its special geographical location
"Zhu Daneng, have you been here before?" Hu Wei was still the first time to come to Yinshan, and he was really curious about this water city
The houses you see along the way are all built on the water surface with various wooden pillars of different thicknesses inserted into the water, supporting the wooden houses above the people in the water city in the water, under the reflection of the sun, a faint smoke and water rises, making this place like a fairyland
Zhu Daneng recalled: "I remember that when I was very young, I once came to my uncle, and at that time, my health was not very good, and I only stayed for a few days before I fell ill, and it seems that I also delayed a business at home......
Zhu Daneng's eyes were a little red when he said this, his family was all gone, and he was the only one left in the entire Zhu family
"I'm sorry" Hu Wei didn't expect to cause Zhu Daneng's sadness, his face showed apologies, Zhu Daneng has paid so much for the Immortal Bird Legion, there is already a general who needs the whole family to die for the legion, and Hu Wei is afraid that he will go crazy
Zhu Daneng smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all over"
In order not to startle the snake, although Hu Wei sent 3,000 people to come in batches, he did not send people to stand in front of the boat and live in the hotel, food, clothing, housing and transportation were handled by him and Zhu Daneng themselves They are all people who have been working hard outside for many years, these are not anything to them After getting off the boat, Hu Wei and the two easily found a place to live...,
There are still ten days before the blood oath meeting starts, and Hu Wei and the others are early, but they don't plan to let the ten days go to waste, after staying, the two of them will act separately and find out the news separately
"Young marshal, I have found the residence of the Xinghe Society" When Zhu Daneng came back, it was already dark and he was in no hurry to drink saliva, he immediately reported to Hu Wei
Hu Yu smiled: "Yes, I also went out for a day, but I didn't find anything."
"I'm also lucky"
"Eat first, eat first, and then we'll study it"
Xinghehui is a force made by an old aristocracy, and the number of troops in his hands is only about seventy or eighty thousand, which is not very powerful, but the leading Zhao Xin has a certain right to speak among the nobles, and many rebels also sell his face, and the co-initiator of this time is Zhao Xin
Zhu Daneng was able to discover the location of the Xinghe Society, and it was really the same luck as Hu Wei, Zhu Daneng also went around Yinshan for a day, and found nothing When he was about to go back to the inn, he accidentally found a maid of Zhao Xin, and this maid Zhu Daneng happened to know
"Your family still traffics in human beings?" After listening to Zhu Daneng's explanation, Hu Wei felt a little strange in his heart, Zhao Xin's maid was actually sold by Zhu Daneng's family, and he had never heard Zhu Daneng say it before
Zhu Daneng shook his head and said: "This is not human trafficking, it should be said to be substitute training."
Tong Guò Zhu Daneng's explanation Hu Wei only knew that before buying back, the maids of large families had to be trained to serve people, and when they should do something, they were all particular
Some of this kind of training is done by the people in the house themselves, and some are handed over to professional institutions to get it, and Zhu Daneng's family has an institution in this area, Zhu Daneng can recognize the maid, not that he knows the maid herself, but that the maid's actions have the training style of the Zhu family, in fact, the maid is not trained in Zhu Daneng's house, but the person who trained her is from the training ground of Zhu Daneng's family, Zhu Daneng, the former heir of the family, can naturally see this, and then follow behind the maid, and naturally find out the person behind her
"It seems that your luck is really good," Hu Wei said with a smile after hearing this, Zhu Daneng didn't say anything, he really didn't know about this, firstly, no one told him, and secondly, whether it was Dafeng or Fuchen, they were not bought back by Hu Yu himself, and he didn't know about any training
"Shall we go over and have a look?" Zhu Daneng just found Zhao Xin, and did not sneak in to observe this aspect, he still has to listen to Hu worry
Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "Then let's go yesterday."
"Is that Zhao Xin?" On the roof, Hu Wei looked at a middle-aged man in the house from a distance and asked Zhu Daneng, this Zhao Xin's place is not very far from Hu Xin's residence, and it is only five or six minutes to walk to Shuicheng, there are no big trees, and Hu Wei and the two can only lie on the roof and look down
Zhu Daneng nodded and said: "Zhao Xin used to be the city guard of Xingzhong City in Zhongzhou, when Rijkaard died, he was only twenty-five years old, and then I don't know what the reason was, he left his post and did not become a city guard, and most of the people under him were soldiers when he was a city guard, this person is not easy to deal with."
Hu Wei naturally also knew Zhao Xin's information, before Hu Wei became a soldier, Zhao Xin had already stopped defending the city, so his soldiers were the only soldiers who had not experienced the battle with An Rong, and after several Central Plains battles, since Zhao Xin did not participate, in fact, no one knew what the combat strength of his soldiers was
The reason why Zhao Xin is very respected by others is because he likes to make friends with all kinds of people, and he is very generous, whether he knows or doesn't know people, as long as he has difficulty finding him, he will help, this is a timely rain-like character, for the time being, I haven't heard of any great evil in him, if it weren't for the fact that he made a coalition of forces, Hu Wei would not move him a lot for the time being...,
Zhao Xin seems to be a good person, but Hu Wei is unlikely to cooperate with him, because this person is a very old-fashioned diehard, in his eyes, Hu Wei is a thief who has run away, which is the main reason why Zhao Xin has made an anti-Hu Wei alliance, Zhao Xin doesn't like Hu Wei, which even people who have never seen Zhao Xin know very well
After monitoring for most of the night, Zhao Xin did not go out, nor did he meet anyone, and after discussing with Zhu Daneng, he decided to look at Zhao Xin in two shifts, since he was the initiator of the alliance, he would definitely contact others, and if he saw him, he would grasp the development of the whole incident
I don't know if Zhao Xin knew that someone was spying on him, or if all the events had been arranged early in the morning, Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng watched him for five days, he actually didn't act together, he just drank tea every day, read books or something, and didn't even go out of the door, if Zhu Daneng hadn't confirmed that he was Zhao Xin, Hu Wei thought he had made the wrong person
"Things are a little strange" When handing over to Zhu Daneng, Hu Wei frowned and said that it is said that Yue Xin, as an anti-Hu Wei rebel, has no reason to be so leisurely and perfect when the blood oath meeting is approaching, no matter how perfect the arrangement is, when it is implemented, there will always be one or another problem, and Yue Xin can't do anything without asking about it
Zhu Daneng said seriously: "I also thought about it for a long time last night, and I also feel that this Zhao Xin shouldn't be like this, it seems that we are afraid that something is wrong."
"Hmm," Hu Wei nodded, and began to recall his observations over the past five days
In the past five days, Zhao Xin has not seen anyone except for a maid named Xiaohua, could it be that the problem is that Xiaohua's body?
Hu Wei looked at Zhu Daneng, that little flower was the maid that Zhu Daneng recognized, according to Zhu Daneng, that maid should be a real maid and a talent
Zhu Daneng's face shook solemnly, nodded again, and said after a long time: "Maybe the problem is on her."
Since he had this suspicion, Hu Wei immediately decided that Zhu Daneng would continue to look at Zhao Xin, while he would turn to Xiaohua to see what was strange about this maid
Zhao Xin's life is quite regular, Xiaohua has been observed for almost a few days, Hu Wei knows that in addition to arranging for Yue Xin to eat and drink, Hu Wei will go out twice a day before Hu Wei thinks that Xiaohua is going out to buy vegetables or something, now it seems that if Xiaohua is really a problem, then she is probably not as simple as buying vegetables
On the sixth day, Hu Wei turned to follow Xiaohua's back, to see if she had anything weird to follow on the first day, Hu Wei found that there was nothing Xiaohua came out to buy vegetables, except for the vegetable seller, she didn't have anything to do with anyone Hu Wei is not the kind of person who gives up lightly, and when Xiaohua went out the next day, Hu Wei followed again
went out, bought groceries, went back to the inn to cook, and served Zhao Xin, it seemed that there was still nothing special Just when Hu Wei felt disappointed, a sudden discovery made Hu Wei come to his senses
Hu Wei followed Xiaohua for two days, and found that Xiaohua would buy some cauliflower every day, this kind of vegetable is very usual, the price is not expensive, the taste is good, many people like to eat, there are not many vegetables in the Tianfeng Continent, and now is the time to produce cauliflower, even if it is cauliflower every day, there is no problem
There is no problem with eating every day, but buying it every day but not eating it, there is a problem Zhao Xin is eating, Hu Wei didn't see that there was a cauliflower on Zhao Xin's table In order to further determine, Hu Wei approached the kitchen, Xiaohua usually eats there, Hu Wei wants to see if Xiaohua eats cauliflower
The result was that there was no cauliflower in Xiaohua's meal, and Hu Wei guessed something, and one day, Hu Wei followed behind Xiaohua again, because Xiaohua may not believe that Hu Wei knew Hu Wei, and this time Hu Wei followed very closely
When Xiaohua stopped at the vegetable stall, Hu Wei also stopped Tianfeng Continent men and women are relatively equal, and it is not very noticeable for men to buy vegetables, so Xiaohua and the vegetable seller did not pay attention to Hu Wei...,
There is a mental arithmetic This time, Hu Youyou found out the reason, Xiaohua gave a stack of paper things to the vegetable seller when he gave the money, and the main currency of Tianfeng Continent is copper plate, or gold coins, there is no coins similar to paper, that is to say, Xiaohua gave the vegetable seller definitely not money to contact Zhao Xin's identity, the answer is obvious
"It turns out that the problem is his"
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it had been ten days since Hu Wei and Zhu Daneng came to Yinshan, and today was the day when the blood oath meeting was held
"Fortunately, you found out about Xiaohua's problem, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find the land," Zhu Daneng said with a happy face, the blood oath meeting was held in Yinshan, they had already received information, but where was the specific place where the meeting was held, they didn't know that Hu Wei followed the vegetable seller to find this place, an inconspicuous water cabin, which was the place where they participated this time
Hu said hatefully: "This Zhao Xin is really cunning" If it wasn't for the problem of Xiaohua's side, they would have missed the blood oath meeting this time
This morning, when Zhu Daneng was monitoring Zhao Xin as usual, he found that he was gone, he didn't come out for breakfast, and only his maid was in the house
Zhu Daneng immediately realized the problem, and then came here with Hu You, and sure enough, he found Zhao Xin Now it seems that Zhao Xin should have secretly left the inn by water last night
Hu Wei was sure that Zhao Xin should not have discovered their surveillance behavior Without knowing that someone was watching, Zhao Xin's actions were still so careful, which shows what a terrible person this is
At this time, thirty or forty people had already come to this inconspicuous room, and it could be seen that these people were people who could speak to various forces, and there was a large copper basin in the middle of the room, and there was a lot of incense around the copper basin
Zhao Xin sat in the center, his expression was very strict, and many people were talking to each other, it should be that they were talking about some things, even if they didn't know what the situation was, seeing such a scene, they could guess that something had happened here
Hu Wei left Zhu Daneng outside, waiting for his order at any time, the soldiers of the 3,000 guards battalion have all been in place, if Hu Wei wants to kill them all, this will already be able to do it, but this is not Hu You's purpose, he can not see blood, Hu Wei still hopes that it is better not to see blood
Slipping off the roof, Hu Wei came to the main entrance, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden door a few times, and after two or three minutes, there was movement in the door, and the wooden door was gently opened, and an old man could see it
"Who are you looking for?" If you didn't know what was going on in the house, no one would care that the old man was inconspicuous from any point of view
"Don't look for anyone" Hu Wei smiled and said, "I'm here for a meeting"
Hu Wei didn't check what the secret words were to enter the door, because he didn't plan to sneak in, he just wanted to reveal his identity and walk in
"I don't know what you're talking about," the old man's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and he was about to close the door, and the young man in front of him obviously knew what was going on inside, but the secret words were wrong, there must be something wrong, and he had to go in immediately to inform the attendees
"Slow, slow" Hu Wei pressed the door with his hand and said with a smile: "You know what I'm talking about, you always pass a message, just say that Hu Wei is disturbed"
After Hu Wei finished speaking, he took a step back and let the old man slam the door shut
The old man's whole old face has changed color at this time, he is Zhao Xin's cronies, the entire blood oath conference can be said to be under Zhao Xin's remote control, and he is very clear about all the purposes of the entire conference under his key participation, and Hu Wei is outside the door at this time, it is strange that he is not panicking
When Zhao Xin received the news, his face was also very ugly, he didn't dare to hide the news, he couldn't hide it, and immediately told everyone the news
Everyone was in confusion, some people said that they took the opportunity to kill Hu Wei, and some people said that Hu Wei must have ambushed heavy troops and should break through immediately
"Everyone, please listen to what I said, since I came here knocking on the door, I think I have something to say, let's let him in and see what he wants."
"Yes, yes, let him in, there are so many of us, I'm afraid he won't make it" (to be continued)
