Chapter Seventy-Six: The Father and Son in Zhou's Mansion Conspired, and the Hidden Wolves in the Southern City Gathered

General Yang walked slowly. Outside the gate of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Yinbin arched his hand to Yang Yun and cultivated.

"Lord Zhou, stay!" Yang Yunxiu responded angrily with his fists, then stepped on the horse's back and rode away.

The housekeeper beside Zhou Yinbin looked at Yang Yunxiu's back and sneered, and said to Zhou Yinbin: "Master, this kid is too ignorant of lifting, who does he think he is, and he dares to come to the door to ask the master to listen to his orders." ”

Zhou Yinbin is currently the right servant of the Southern Qi Household Department, responsible for the grain and grass deployment of the four armies in Beijing, and his son Zhou Zhongyi is the commander of the cavalry battalion, with 800 brave cavalry, and the Zhou family is a large force in Beijing. When Hong Hui was alive, Zhou Yinbin and Yang Yunxiu were very close, but now that Hong Hui is seriously ill, Zhou Yinbin has other thoughts.

This time, Yang Yunxiu came to visit the door, wanting the Zhou family to cooperate with him and fully support him. As long as the Zhou family shows its banner, the logistics supply of the four armies in Beijing will be safe, which is very important to Cheng and Yang. Moreover, Zhou Yinbin's daughter married Li Qingqiu, the king of Xiangzhu County, as a concubine, and the Zhou family's standing line will also affect the attitude of King Xiangzhu to a large extent. Nowadays, the Li family of the imperial family is still hesitant about Yang Yunxiu and Cheng Younian in power, and if there is a good mediation between King Xiang Zhujun, who is deeply trusted by Li Yu, the two may get the support of the royal family.

However, after Yang Yunxiu expressed his intentions, Zhou Yinbin was secretive, talking about him left and right, but he never mentioned the cooperation between the two. Yang Yunxiu can have today's status, naturally he is not a fool. Zhou Yinbin's attitude has already explained everything, and he didn't say anything more at the moment, and walked away.

Zhou Yinbin was noncommittal to the housekeeper's words, glanced at him coldly, and the housekeeper was silent for a moment. When Yang Yunxiu disappeared at the end of the street, Zhou Yinbin exhaled softly and turned back to his home.

The housekeeper patted his ass and ate a fried cold rice, and he was stupid, touched his nose, and hurriedly followed.

Zhou Yinbin sent the housekeeper away and returned to his room alone. He closed the door, took a book from the shelf, and turned the pages to reveal a note full of small print.

Zhou Yinbin read the words on the note carefully, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had made a huge determination. He opened his eyes, put the note away again, pushed open the door and said to the guards outside the door: "Go to the barracks quickly, call the young master!"

The guard replied and turned around.

Zhou Yinbin retreated into the room, sat on the chair, the fingers of his right hand lightly tapped the tabletop, and carefully calculated in his mind that his decision was related to the survival of the entire Zhou family, and he had to be cautious.

I don't know how long later, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then the voice calling the door sounded outside the door: "Father, the child is back." ”

Zhou Yinbin came back to his senses and said, "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a man in full uniform walked in, this person was burly and extraordinary, it was Zhou Yinbin's only son, Zhou Zhongyi, the commander of the Beijing Division Cavalry Battalion.

Zhou Zhongyi closed the door and asked, "What's the urgency for the father to come back from looking for the child?"

Zhou Yinbin stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down, Zhou Zhongyi took off his sword helmet and sat opposite Zhou Yinbin.

Zhou Yinbin asked in a low voice: "What is the current situation of the Fourth Army in Beijing?"

Zhou Zhongyi said: "Cheng Younian and Yang Yunxiu are now in contact everywhere, and half of the men and horses of the four armies in Beijing have joined the two of them, but there are still a few commanders who are indecisive and are still waiting and seeing. ”

Zhou Yinbin said: "Yang Yunxiu came to visit today, and he also wanted to support him and Cheng Younian for his father, but he was politely rejected by his father. As far as I know, now they have mastered most of the forces of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry, and they are now the strongest in Beijing. Although the emperor has not yet officially authorized it, if it continues, it is very likely that the two will control Gyeonggi. ”

Zhou Zhongyi said: "In this case, why didn't my father push the boat down the river and add the icing on the cake, but instead rejected Yang Yunxiu? Wouldn't this offend them, in case the two of them take the throne, I am afraid it will be very unfavorable to my Zhou family!"

Zhou Yinbin stood up, listened carefully to the door, and made sure that there was no one nearby, so he turned around and said: "The reason why my father rejected him is because my father has found a bigger backer!"

As he spoke, he got up and took out the previous note and handed it to Zhou Zhongyi.

Zhou Zhongyi took a look and couldn't help but be surprised: "Yuwen Junxun?"

Zhou Yinbin nodded: "Two days ago, when my father went down to court, a beggar suddenly crashed into my father's sedan chair on the road, and when the sedan chair driver drove him away, there was such a note in my father's sedan chair. ”

Zhou Zhongyi was puzzled: "Is it credible?"

Zhou Yinbin nodded: "My father once had correspondence with Yuwen Junxun, and there is no doubt that this trace is Yuwen Junxun, and there is also half of his private seal on it, which has been compared with my father, and it is not bad at all." ”

Zhou Zhongyi carefully read the words on it and said, "It says that if my father intends to cooperate, please meet secretly in the Longfeng Hall of the Zen Pavilion on the night of the 14th!"

Zhou Yinbin said: "Yes, it's tonight!"

Zhou Zhongyi looked at Zhou Yinbin and said with some concern: "Father decided to go?"

Zhou Yinbin said: "Seeking wealth and danger! Cheng Yang and Yuwen Junxun are like fireflies and pearls! If I can help Yuwen Junxun succeed and win the position of generalissimo, then my Zhou family will rise to a higher level, and it is not what it used to be!"

Zhou Zhongyi said uneasily: "But this letter does not say how many soldiers and horses Yuwen Junxun brought, in case his strength is insufficient, then... After all, this is the capital, not the southwest Tong Yao, Cheng Yang and the two are fighting at home, and the strong dragon of Yuwen Junxun may not be able to suppress this local snake!"

Zhou Yinbin waved his hand and said: "Yuwen Junxun has been famous for many years, and the Mai Army under his command has extraordinary combat power, and this person is resourceful and cautious, and he will definitely not do anything he is not sure of." I guess that he came to Beijing this time, so quietly, there will definitely not be too many people, so we need to recruit allies, which is also giving us an opportunity. ”

Zhou Yinbin paused for a moment and continued: "If we take refuge in Cheng Yang now, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and after the two of them become successful, they can only control the Jingshi one place, who of the six leaders will listen to their dispatch? In that case, the benefits that our Zhou family can get are only few." But if we help Yuwen Junxun, it will be a charcoal in the snow! Yuwen Junxun is one of the six leaders, occupying the southwest side, and his subordinates are strong, if he gets the capital and becomes the generalissimo, his authority will become the most powerful in Southern Qi, and at that time, our Zhou family can climb the towering tree, glorify the ancestors, and become one of the few famous families in Southern Qi!"

Zhou Zhongyi saw that his father had made up his mind, and he no longer persuaded him. To be honest, he was also attracted to the future depicted by Zhou Yinbin. When the man is alive, he naturally has to make a difference, Zhou Zhongyi stood up and said, "Father, I'll accompany you for a walk at night!"

Zhou Yinbin looked at his son and nodded heavily.

The 13th Street of the South City of the Night Singing City.

This is the civilian residence of Yeyin City, with three religions and nine streams, mixed fish and dragons, and it is also the most difficult place for the imperial court to supervise.

In a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, a bewitching figure climbed over the wall, her face covered with a square scarf, but judging by her figure, she should be a woman. She looked around the courtyard and knocked lightly on the door.

The door creaked open, and the woman dodged in.

There were already several people in the room, and a middle-aged man sat on the top, obviously a leader.

"Tianjiu, I'm waiting for you. The leader watched the woman come in, and said with a slight reproach.

The woman known as Tianjiu clenched her fists and replied, "I came with a tail behind me, and I rushed over after disposing of him. ”

The leader was relieved, and then asked, "Who is it?"

Tianjiu said: "It's the Great Wei Eagle Detective, a copper feather." "The Great Wei Eagle Detective is divided into five classes: blood, gold, silver, copper, and iron, and the copper feather is the fourth class.

The leader nodded and said, "Recently, there have been more and more peers in Nightyin City, and everyone must be more careful in their actions. The wolf lord knows that we are secretly monitoring the Southern Qi Jing Division, what new discoveries have you made?"

As soon as these words came out, it was not difficult to guess the identity of this group of people, who were members of the Hidden Wolf of the Tiande Secret Saucer Organization.

They are all called Hidden Wolves externally, but there is a clear division internally, and Tianjiu is the title of the female Hidden Wolf in the organization.

At this moment, the leader asked, and the person at the bottom said: "My lord, we recently discovered that Cheng Younian and Yang Yunxiu under Hong Hui have been contacting all the forces in the capital during this time, and now nearly half of the people in the Southern Qi Jingshi have joined them. The subordinates guessed that this was most likely Hong Hui's secret instruction, wanting to push the two to the throne before his death. ”

The leader said, "So Hong Hui is not dead yet?"

The man said: "It's very likely. The two of them are Hong Hui's right-hand men, and they can gather nearly half of the forces in Beijing so quickly, without Hong Hui's support, they can't do it. ”

Tianjiu, the woman who came in at the end, let out a sneer and interjected: "I don't think this is necessarily, maybe the two of them are acting in private in the name of Hong Hui." The Hong Mansion is now heavily guarded, and our people can't get accurate information, and only from the actions of Cheng Yang and the others, they can't accurately deduce Hong Hui's life or death. ”

The man was refuted by the woman, and he was immediately a little annoyed: "What kind of identity is Hong Hui? If he is really dead, how can the Nanqi court be so calm? Moreover, the secret agents we arranged in the territory of the six leaders have not found anything abnormal so far, doesn't this also show that there is no news of Hong Hui's death?"

Tianjiu said: "What you said, in the final analysis, is just speculation, and there is no empirical evidence. Besides, the six leaders are so far away from Yeyin City, and the news is unchanged, how do you know that there is no change in the six leaders now? Hong Hui is alive or dead, this matter is related to the future fortune of my Tiande, and I must find ironclad evidence to draw conclusions, not a groundless guess like you!"

The man was about to say more, but the leader stretched out his hand to stop him, and he said, "What Tianjiu said is right. Hong Hui's life and death are related to the wolf master's plan, you must not take it lightly, you must get accurate information before you can decide on your next move!"

Suppressing the dispute between his subordinates, the leader said: "The main purpose of gathering everyone this time is to assign the next task. Now, all the forces in Yeyin City have gathered, such as the Great Wei Eagle Detective, the Feng Family's Five Elements Secret Agent, the Secret Disc Organization of the Six Leaders, and the Detention Hall of Southern Qi have all appeared. Over the years, we have fought against these peers several times, suffered heavy losses, and repeatedly suppressed the space for movement. But this is a critical time, and I hope that you will withstand the pressure and make sure that you hear the news of Hong Hui and the six leaders accurately and timely. Tiansi, I hope that your people will continue to keep an eye on Cheng Yang and the others with all their might, and see which forces have taken refuge in them. ”

The man who had an argument with Tianjiu before bowed down and said, "Yes!"

"Heaven Five, Earth Two, Earth Six, I want you to arrange for people and horses to guard the way of the six leaders to Beijing, pay close attention to their movements, and report to me immediately if there is any change! In addition, you must keep in touch with the brothers who monitor the six leaders at any time. ”

"Yes!"

"Tianqi, your subordinates are good at the art of disguise, see if you can manage to infiltrate the Hong Mansion and find out Hong Hui's current situation. I know you've failed several times, but no matter how great the sacrifice is, as long as you succeed once, it's worth it!

"Yes! My subordinates will do their best!"

The leader finally looked at Tian Jiu and said, "Tian Jiu, the manpower cultivation in your hands is the highest, I hope you can take the initiative to attack in the near future, and go all out to attack the other secret dish organizations, even if you can't deal heavy damage to them, at least you must contain them, so that they have no time to disturb us!"

Tian Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, my subordinates have suffered a lot of losses recently, and I need the headquarters to replenish some of my manpower, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task assigned by the adults!"

The leader nodded, he knew the pressure of Tianjiu, pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I will transfer some manpower from the rest of the groups to you, but now that manpower is needed everywhere, the power I can allocate to you will not be too much, you must plan before acting, don't take risks easily!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the task was assigned, everyone left in batches, Tianjiu turned out a few streets, threw away the coat on his body, revealing a set of emerald dresses, and then removed the square scarf, revealing a mature and charming face, it was the young woman who had fought with Ning Yu several times before!
