Chapter 82: The Shadow
The morning light pierces the clouds, opening a hole for the originally dark night, the people and merchants face the morning sun, start the day's livelihood, the streets and alleys exude the aroma of hot soup, wonton, buns and other snacks.
Li Zifeng's disguise technique is just right, he and Xu Xiangkun are both unrecognizable at this time, even if their relatives stand in front of them, they can't recognize them, for the sake of the task, Xu Xiangkun can only be at his mercy.
A pot of hot tea poured into his stomach, Li Zifeng made Yinzi hire a carriage, Xu Xiangkun asked two of his subordinates to pretend to be mysterious guests, and drove the carriage generously to the direction of Wei'an City, watching the carriage disappear at the west entrance of the town where there were few pedestrians, Xu Xiangkun slowly spit out hot air and touched his belly that was filled with buns and hot water.
Li Zifeng holds bamboo chopsticks and pickles pickles made of radish and cucumber in a shallow dish. looked at Xu Xiangkun, who was in a daze on the side, and quipped, "This friend is depressed, but he has something on his mind?"
"I smell something bad. I don't know if this brother has a solution?" Xu Xiangkun also joked.
"Since the emperor is about to come to the Guangfang Temple to pray for incense, it is a great joy. I once heard a popular saying that when there is a happy event in the family, it can wash away all the bad things, and they call this Chongxi. ”
Xu Xiangkun glanced at him with strange eyes, "I said, is that how the word Chongxi is used?"
"I've always been stupid and not good at reading, and you know that. Li Zifeng pretended to be relaxed, and before Xu Xiangkun could respond, his expression became solemn, "After today's noon, I will be separated from you for a while." ”
Xu Xiangkun raised his eyebrows, and suddenly worried about Li Zifeng inexplicably in his heart, "Where are you going?"
"What are you doing so nervously, I didn't take a knife to find King Qingping desperately. Li Zifeng smiled deeply, "Besides, you said that you are not a stalker, and you still care so much about where I go and what I do?"
Xu Xiangkun looked a little lonely, and then poured down two cups of tea sullenly, "Forget it, where do you like to go." ”
Li Zifeng sighed slightly, his heart became inexplicably heavy, and after a little contemplation, he said, "If it is possible, we will meet at the Guangfang Temple at this time tomorrow." ”
"Why is it the Guangfang Temple?" Xu Xiangkun was a little strange, tomorrow is the day when the emperor enters the incense to pray for blessings, and the surroundings must be heavily guarded, and according to the plan, Li Zifeng did not appear in the Guangfang Temple. And he himself is indeed going to ambush around as a shadow guard. Xu Xiangkun thought about it, could it be that Li Zifeng had other arrangements?
Li Zifeng just smiled and didn't say a word, and refused to say anything more.
The sun is getting higher and higher, temporarily dispelling the cold of late autumn, and the city of Wei'an is as lively and prosperous as ever, with busy traffic and the shouting of vendors one after another, but under this liveliness, there seems to be an unknown bloody atmosphere.
The carriage hired by Li Zifeng drove to Zhujiazhuang in the depths of the alley and stopped, and the two got out of the carriage and pushed the door in.
The sun is beautiful, the pond ripples with the autumn wind, the Qingping palace in autumn has a unique scenery, which is pleasing to the eye, Zhu Luofeng is wearing a dark blue satin cloak, standing by the pond with great interest, feeding the white goose that is imprisoned in a small world.
"Lord Wang..." Chang Ning quietly approached and stopped two steps behind Zhu Luofeng.
"Say!" Zhu Luofeng sprinkled the only remaining feed in his hand into the pond water, watching the white goose flutter its wings and compete for food.
"There is movement over there in Zhujiazhuang, and the two people who went in were agile and well-trained. Chang Ning thought for a moment, "It seems that your guess is right, Zhujiazhuang is really the eyeliner planted by the emperor." ”
"No wonder, at the slightest hint, my father always knew in advance. It turned out to be a good thing that this Zhujiazhuang did!" Zhu Luofeng sneered, "What else is there going on in Wei'an City and Qingyuan Town?"
Chang Ning replied, "All the suspicious people have withdrawn, and the people of the Hengshan faction and Mu Lin Pavilion have been evacuated cleanly, I am afraid that all of them will gather in Qingyuan Town and wait for tomorrow's action." ”
"Okay!" Zhu Luofeng suddenly smiled deeply, "Since they are so fun-loving, then the king will fulfill them, so he will send some people from Hongyuan Villa to accompany them to tease the boring children." ”
"What about Zhujiazhuang?" Chang Ning asked tentatively.
"Quietly replace it with our people and pull out this eye!" Zhu Luofeng clenched his fists.
"Yes! Chang Ning arched his hand.
"Also, relax your vigilance against the people of Lingye Palace and Hongyuan Villa. Zhu Luofeng said coldly.
Chang Ning had heard of the Lingye Palace more than once, the Lingye Palace did a lot of evil, trying to cause trouble to the dynasty, and now Zhu Luofeng asked him to relax his vigilance, which made him a little strange, "Lord Wang, this ......"
"The prince has hardly left the house except for official business all these years, and now it is better to let him take this opportunity to go out and breathe. Zhu Luofeng's eyes became gloomy, and his tone was chilling.
"Humble duty understands. Chang Ning instantly understood what Zhu Luofeng meant, he just wanted to borrow the hands of Lingye Palace and Hongyuan Villa to pinch the crown prince Zhu Luoyun in his hand as a hostage, just in case.
Thin clouds drifted across the sky, blocking out most of the sun, and a gentle breeze streaked across the water, setting off a chill.
The warm sun is shining, and the sun is setting, and the time of the day slips quietly in the hurry......
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was white with the belly of the fish, the emperor Zhu Xingzhan and the queen Wan Xintong were with him, the crown prince Zhu Luoyun, the king of Yikun Zhu Xingyi, and the king of Qingping Zhu Luofeng followed by chariots, and a group of civil and military officials and guards rode horses or walked, all in full gear, and went out from the east gate of Wei'an City and went straight to the Guangfang Temple.
The momentum is magnificent, although the hour is still early, both sides of the street through which Luan drove has long been crowded, the people are scrambling to watch, each stretching their necks, hoping to see the side of the holy car, under the interception of the officers and soldiers, they are controlled on both sides of the street, but most of them are unwilling to squeeze forward, where the holy car passes, there are people kneeling and kowtowing.
Queen Wan Xintong was sullen along the way, Prime Minister Wan Ziyu was sick, and he was imprisoned in Xing Weifu and couldn't go back to his house to recuperate, and he was constrained by palace rules, so he couldn't go to visit, and he had to force a smile every day. At this time, Wan Xintong hoped that he could take advantage of this prayer to catch the haze of these days, and his father would be healed and healthy.
Zhu Xingzhan saw through Wan Xintong's thoughts, his expression was inexplicable, and then he gently stroked Wan Xintong's hand and said, "I will definitely give Wan Daren an explanation, the queen and relax." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine. Although Wan Xintong was wearing delicate and decent makeup, it was difficult to hide his haggard look, Wan Xintong quietly dodged Zhu Xingzhan's hand, "The concubine believes that Your Majesty will be able to see clearly." ”
Everyone has their own thoughts, some watch the excitement, and there are also people who are ready to move and plot against the law, and the eyes of uninvited guests closely follow the chariot of the crown prince Zhu Luoyun.
Zhu Luofeng lifted the curtain, his eyes wandered in the crowded crowd, and finally met the pair of eyes, the man nodded slightly to him, Zhu Luofeng smiled with satisfaction, and lowered the curtain.
But Zhu Luofeng made a lot of calculations, ignoring the Shadow Guard who was mixed with the people, and was quietly moving in the opposite direction to them: Wei'an City. The team gathered in an orderly manner, quietly dormant, waiting only for the action of the night.
At this time, Zhu Luoyun only sat quietly in the chariot and did not move, and went to the Guangfang Temple with the holy driver, but today's Zhu Luoyun seemed to be not much different from usual, and there was a little more coldness between his eyebrows and eyes......
