"What!?" This news really surprised Ji Benchu, but after thinking about it, he always felt that his words could not withstand scrutiny, so he asked: "How did you know such confidential information?"

The man said: "I can guarantee my life in the next place, this matter is absolutely true, as for where I got this news, please forgive me for not being able to tell me." ”

"What is the motive of Wang Lu and Xing Zai's rebellion?" This matter is very important, and Ji Benchu had to inquire in detail.

"They didn't want to assassinate the Son of Heaven, they just wanted to clear the monarch's side and force the palace to bring down Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. ”

Ji Benchu secretly thought to himself: "Wang Ji has always been Li Linfu's cronies, how could he let the third child of his family kill Li Linfu?"

The man guessed the doubts in Ji Benchu's heart, so he said: "Wang Kun and Xing Zai conspired, his two elder brothers did not know, as for the motive of the rebellion, now there are three powerful ministers in the court, the first is Li Linfu, Wang Ji is second, and the third is Yang Guozhong. ”

In this way, it makes sense, but Ji Benchu has always been cautious, and asked, "How can you prove that what you said is true?"

"There must be a lot of secret agents of the One Sword Sect in this huge Chang'an City, Sect Master Ji only needs to find out if there is any movement in the Tongguan garrison tonight, and everything will be known. In the following, you can also inform all the rebellious plans of Wang Qi and Xing Wei. ”

"Oh? ”

"Tomorrow night, there will be people who will set fire to the east and west cities to create chaos, and then the Tongguan guards will divide their troops to control the birthday banquet, and then the left and right Longwu army ten thousand cavalry battalions under Wang Wei will take over the ten rate and sixteen guards by surprise. ”

At this time, Ji Benchu had already believed most of it, but there were many involved in this matter, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he just laughed: "Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to tell the Holy Lord about this?

The man also laughed loudly: "First, Wang Ji has dozens of positions and is deeply favored, if this matter is rashly reported before it is confirmed, Your Majesty may not believe me; second, Wang Ji is strong in martial arts, if he kills him, he still needs the help of the sect master; third, he really wants to make friends with the One Sword Sect, and the credit makes the sect master also talk about sincerity." ”

Ji Benchu was very good, and said: "Since we are already friends, it is not good for Your Excellency to hide it like this, can you let Ji Mou see his respect?"

The person inside replied: "I am also entrusted by others, I am only responsible for passing the word, it doesn't matter if I see it or not, the day after tomorrow, when the dust settles, I will definitely toast the sect master in person to make amends." ”

"Okay! Then it's a word!" After saying this, Ji Benchu turned around and walked out of the door, and when he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the person inside coldly: "The sect master won't ask me, who is entrusted by me?"

"Don't ask! If you ask, you may not say, and I may not believe what I say. ”

"The sect master is so generous! There is one more thing, Qi Jinyu of the Vientiane Gate, the sect master must not hurt him, the person who entrusted me said, it is still useful to leave Qi Jinyu's life!"

Ji Benchu didn't look back, didn't respond, and left.

After leaving the Weicheng restaurant, Ji Benchu did not go directly to the inn, he walked through a few alleys to a fur store, walked in and said to the guy in front of the counter: "I came from the east and wanted to find some good tiger skins." ”

The guy smiled and asked, "Where do you want the tiger skin?"

"Qin Ling!"

The guy asked again: "The tiger skins in Qinling are all high-quality goods, but they are not cheap, how much are you going to want?"

"Three and five are not too little, and ten and eight are not too much!"

The guy flattered: "You are a big deal, the villain can't be the master, I'll lead you to the back hall to find our shopkeeper." ”

The man led Ji Benchu into the back hall, closed the door and went out first, and after a while, a weak young man wearing a black tight warrior costume quietly came out of the dark corner.

The young man's face was pale, as if he was seriously ill, he walked up to Ji Benchu, bowed down and saluted: "Subordinate Qingqiu to meet the sect master!"

Qing Qiu was a disciple of the One Sword Sect's Wei Sect, and he was the same age as Ji Benchu, but he looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Just because he had a strange disease when he was a child, he saw a lot of Langzhong without anyone to treat, and was left in Huashan by his family in desperation, the previous sect leader Chai Wanfeng saved Qingqiu's life with his superb medical skills, but he failed to get rid of the root of the disease, Qingqiu is getting older and older, but his appearance and voice have not changed. With nowhere else to go, Qing Qiu stayed in the One Sword Sect to learn assassination and spy skills, because of his own deceptive innate advantage, Qing Qiu can always complete many difficult tasks unexpectedly, and who would doubt a child in his teens! Now he is the leader of the secret agent assigned by the One Sword Sect in Chang'an City.

"You quickly send a message to Bai Yan, let him secretly investigate whether there is any change in the defenders of Tongguan, and report to me immediately if you have the details. ”

"Yes, does the sect master have any other orders?"

Ji Benchu shook his head. In the blink of an eye, the green carp disappeared into the darkness again.

After returning to the post house, Zhu Moqi came back from the military department, so he told him what happened today.

"What do you think about this?" Whenever he has doubts, Ji Benchu will always consult with the second child to discuss countermeasures.

There are many things involved in this matter, and Rao is a think tank like Zhu Moqi does not dare to make a conclusion, he paced back and forth in front of the table, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"What did Senior Brother think?" asked Ji Benchu eagerly.

Zhu Moqi didn't reply directly, and said with a smile: "I'll tell the senior brother in charge a story of 'poking a stupid dog on the wall'." ”

It was interesting to hear this name, and Ji Benchu said with great interest: "Senior brother, let me hear it." ”

"The story is also simple, in ancient times there was a wicked man, greedy for the neighbor's property, so he wanted to kill him, so as to occupy the family property, this wicked man thought of a lot of ways and felt that it was inappropriate, afraid that the yamen would find out that he did it, when he was in trouble, he saw that the neighbor did not know where to bring a very fierce big wolf dog, and immediately took it to his heart, so he used the bone to tempt the dog to his own home, locked up and starved for three days, and after three days he secretly returned to the neighbor's house, the big dog just arrived at the new home, did not recognize the master, and the owner was bitten to death under hunger, and then the wicked man took the initiative to report to the official, and no one would suspect him。 ”

Ji Benchu woke up like a dream, and said in surprise: "Are you saying that Xing Wei Wang Qi is the 'stupid dog', and the owner of the Weicheng Restaurant and the people behind him are the ones who are the controllers of this incident?

"Exactly!" Zhu Moqi shook the folding fan lightly, and the bamboo was in his chest.

Ji Benchu was in a cold sweat, what kind of viciousness should it be to come up with such a vicious plan to kill people with a knife?

asked the second brother again: "Why is the junior brother so sure?"

Zhu Moqi replied: "According to what the owner of the restaurant said, this matter is extremely secret, and Wang Lu's two elder brothers are kept in the dark, how can he easily tell others about this?"

Ji Benchu supported his cheek with one hand, gently tapped his chin, and then asked: "If the senior brother analyzes correctly, then what will be the master behind it?"

Zhu Moqi closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said: "If it was just to frame his brother Wang Ji through Wang Jie, it was most likely done by Yang Guozhong, and in the early years, when the two competed for the position of Imperial Doctor, there was a disagreement, and now it is even more intense. ”

Ji Benchu nodded yes and motioned for him to continue his analysis.

"If overthrowing Wang Jiao is just an excuse, the main purpose is to defeat Li Linfu, the backer behind Wang Jie, if this is the case, then it is not Yang Guozhong's doing, it's not that I underestimate him, although Yang Guozhong also wants Li Linfu to step down, but this person is not so calculating. In this way, it can only be ......" Zhu Moqi did not finish his words.

"It can only be An Lushan!" Ji Benchu's ability to analyze problems is not inferior to that of the second child.

Zhu Moqi stroked his beard and nodded, "That's basically it, whether it's Yang Guozhong or An Lushan, as long as we can get rid of Wang Ji and Wang Ji, it will be beneficial to us, and this person also has the heart to make friends with us, which is even more fortunate." ”

"The younger brother said this is wrong, there are no permanent friends in this world, only immediate interests, the person behind the store has such a scheming, if one day the spearhead is aimed at us, it will not be a blessing. ”

After listening to him, Zhu Moqi laughed, leaned back, slumped on the seat, and then cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will explain the day, and a happy day is a day." If Senior Brother could have thought of everything simply, he wouldn't have so many gray hairs. ”

Ji Benchu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "At the latest tonight, there will definitely be news from Qingqiu, if the Tongguan garrison really goes to Chang'an, I will immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book to the Zongfu and transfer the old seven over." ”

Zhu Moqi was surprised: "Why is this? Do you still use Lao Qi to clean up the little Wang Ji? I did it single-handedly." ”

Ji Benchu hurriedly waved his hand: "Senior brother, don't be careful, it's not that you are not good at martial arts, but you can't beat Wang Ji, it's just that you ...... You and the third child are both from the Prince's Mansion, if you kill him, it will inevitably be suspicious of His Royal Highness the Prince. Moreover, Lao Qi has the Danshu iron coupon given by His Majesty, even if he really kills someone by mistake, he will not be held accountable. ”

In fact, what is the martial arts of his own brothers, Ji Ben knew in his heart that it was indeed difficult for the second child to kill Wang Shu, one of the four protectors of the Vientiane Gate.
