Chapter 159: Fishing for Bait with This

Under the ingenious arrangement of Fa Sipa in advance, Zong Zheng and others successfully came to the camp of Kublai Khan in Kaiping.

Zongzheng noticed that the troops there were all in a tense arrangement, as if they were facing a great enemy, as if a vicious battle was about to begin.

Zhang Hongyan pretended to be in suspense, asked Zongzheng to put on a mask, asked Xianjie to wear a veil, and invited all the veterans and old friends to his big tent.

Kublai Khan also received Zhang Hongyan's invitation, and also came to Zhang Hongyan's camp, and when he saw Dong Wenbing, Zhang Xi, Zhang Rou, Liu Bingzhong and others were there, he said: "So many people have come, and I don't know what kind of reputation you Zhang Hongyan is doing?"

Dong Wenbing replied to Kublai Khan: "I heard that he brought two distinguished guests and said that he must let us meet, so we were curious, so we came over to have a look." ”

Kublai Khan then said to Zhang Hongyan: "General Zhang, are you? ”

Zhang Hongyan said with a smile on his face: "Since the Great Khan has come in person, the minister will not sell the guanzi." Then he instructed his subordinates: "Go and invite two distinguished guests to come." ”

After a while, Zong Zheng was wearing a mask, and Xian Jie was about to walk in with a veil.

Everyone looked at the two curiously, Zhang Hongyan pointed at Zong Zheng and said to everyone, "I don't know if you can recognize this place?"

Liu Bingzhong looked at Zong Zheng and muttered: "My eyes are familiar to me, but I can't remember who it is for a while?"

Dong Wenbing is a big old man, and before he guessed, he said impatiently to Zhang Hongyan: "I said, you don't want to toss us." ”

Zhang Hongyan said with a smile: "General Dong, you don't have any patience at all, okay!

Zong Zheng slowly took off his mask, and Dong Wenbing saw that it was Mei Shaoxia in the past, and said with great joy: "Oh, it turned out to be Mei Shaoxia." ”

Zhang Xi said happily: "Sure enough, it's a distinguished guest." ”

When Kublai Khan saw that it was Zongzheng, he couldn't help but step forward, and the two hugged each other, which was the etiquette of the Mongolian warm greeting, which showed the joy of Kublai Khan's heart.

When he let go of Zongzheng, he couldn't help but pat Zongzheng on the shoulder and said, "It's great to see you again." ”

Seeing that there was still a woman in white standing behind Zong Zheng, he asked, "Who is this?"

Zong Zheng immediately took Xianjie's hand and said, "This is, my wife." ”

Kublai Khan laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and Mei Shaoxia actually brought back a beautiful wife. ”

Xian Jie couldn't help but ask, "How can the Great Khan know that I am beautiful if he doesn't see my face?"

Kublai Khan laughed and said: "Hahahaha, the girl is dressed in white clothes, she has an excellent temperament, and her appearance is naturally excellent, besides, the girl who can be taken by Mei Shaoxia is naturally beautiful." ”

Zongzheng said to Kublai Khan: "Great Khan, my surname is Zongzheng, and from now on, the Great Khan can call me Zongzheng." Fu turned to Dong Wenbing, Zhang Rou and others and said: "Zong is my real name, I had to deliberately deceive my name last time, and I can't compensate you here!"

Seeing that Zongzheng was so honest and gracious to you, everyone didn't blame them too much, but it was difficult for them to adapt to the sudden change of name.

"Zongzheng, why don't you hurry up and let everyone see your beautiful wife!, let everyone feast their eyes!" Zhang Hongyan said with a smile, breaking through the silence for a moment.

Zong Zheng immediately whispered to Xianjie: "Xian'er, take off the veil! they are all my friends!"

Xianjie slowly took off her veil in front of everyone, revealing a beautiful face.

Everyone secretly praised it at a glance, and Dong Wenbing complimented: "As the Great Khan said, the beauty of this girl is indeed rare in the world." ”

Zhang Rou also echoed: "Zongzheng, you are so blessed!"

Under the envy and praise of everyone, Xianjie was a little uncomfortable, and replied politely: "You have a good reputation, and the little girl is ashamed." ”

Kublai Khan said, "The girl is too modest to know the girl's name?"

Xianjie replied: "The little woman's surname is Situ, and her name is Xianjie." ”

Kublai Khan commented: "Sure enough, people are like fairies, as their name suggests." ”

After hearing this, Xianjie couldn't help but smile at Zongzheng, and Zongzheng also smiled back, and the two looked at each other affectionately.

"Hey, why don't you see the national teacher?" Kublai Khan glanced around, and suddenly found that he couldn't see Fa Sipa, and couldn't help but ask,

Zhang Hongyan then stepped forward to report: "The national teacher said that he has important matters that need to be dealt with first. ”

In any case, Fa Si Pa really brought back Zong Zheng, a dragon scale genius who dominated the world, and for this alone, Kublai Khan was sincerely grateful to Fa Si Pa, however, he thought that Zong Zheng was willing to serve, and he did not know Zong Zheng's true intentions.

After everyone greeted each other for a while, and then they left, according to Kublai Khan's instructions, Zhang Hongyan arranged a good camp tent for Zongzheng and Xianjie, and arranged a few personal attendants and maids.

He knew that the female assassin in the prison must have some kind of connection with Zongzheng, and this connection was the purpose of Zongzheng's willingness to come to the Kaiping camp, so he expected that after Zongzheng came to the Kaiping camp, he would definitely try to find the female assassin, so he had to make arrangements for the female assassin first, so that Zongzheng could easily find her.

When the soldiers guarding the prison saw that Fa Sipa had come with the Great Khan's order, they gave way and obeyed the arrangement, and Fa Sipa went to the dungeon and met the imprisoned female assassin.

Zhu Yunshi was not abused, she was only detained in a prison cell, and Kublai Khan always believed that it would be useful to keep her, so he did not execute her, nor did he torture her.

Seeing someone coming in, Zhu Yunshi suddenly woke up, and when she saw that it was Fa Siba, she sat coldly in the cell and ignored it.

"Do you know about Zongzheng?" asked Fa Sipa,

When Zhu Yunshi heard Zongzheng's name, she immediately turned her face to look at Fa Sipa, her eyes had already told Fa Siba the answer.

"He's in our Kaiping camp right now, and he's eager to find you!" Fa Si Pa continued.

Although Zhu Yunshi did not have much contact with Zongzheng, she had a slight affection for Zongzheng, and she also had a feeling that he was the son of her benefactor.

"Why is he looking for me?" Zhu Yunshi asked rhetorically,

Through this answer, Fa Sipa could conclude that Zong Zheng was indeed related to Na Zhu Yunshi, but Zhu Yunshi's rhetorical question prevented him from guessing what the purpose of Zongzheng's trip was, but one thing he was sure of was that Zong Zheng did not come to save her.

Knowing that it would be fruitless to ask, he had to order the cell boss to put Situ Xianjie in a spare secret prison to prevent Zong Zheng from finding out the whereabouts of Zhu Yunshi.

After everything was arranged, he was worried that Zongzheng would inquire about Zhu Yunshi's whereabouts from the mouth of the Great Khan, so he immediately rushed to Kublai Khan's camp to explain the matter.

Kublai Khan had just returned from Zhang Hongyan's tent, and when he heard that Fa Siba had come to see him, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him, and couldn't help but praise: "The national teacher really has a strategy, and he really invited Zongzheng here!"

Fa Si Pa replied with a melancholy face: "Great Khan, to be precise, I only invited someone, but not his heart!"

Kublai Khan didn't understand what Fa Sipa meant, and asked, "What does this mean by the national teacher?"

Fa Sipa informed Kublai Khan of Zongzheng's thoughts and his own conjectures, and when Kublai Khan heard this, his original joy was gone, and he began to worry.

Fa Si Pa advised: "The minister has moved the female assassin to the dark prison, the Great Khan must remember that the whereabouts of the female assassin must not be revealed, if he asks, the Great Khan will say that I am solely responsible for this matter, you don't know at all!"

"Is this going to be the national teacher?" Kublai Khan asked,

Fa Sipa whispered his plan to Kublai Khan, and Kublai Khan couldn't help but praise after hearing it: "The national teacher deserves to be a national teacher, I hope so!"

Afterwards, Phaspa retreated, secretly issuing orders to everyone involved in the matter to prevent revealing the whereabouts of the female Assassin.

Zong Zheng and Xianjie lived in a large camp together, surrounded by soldiers patrolling the night, and they couldn't help but make the two who were used to being quiet a little unaccustomed, especially those attendant maids, the two of them were not used to this kind of service at all, so they withdrew everyone and ordered them to wait outside the camp tent.

"Brother Zheng, when are you going to find out the whereabouts of that female assassin?" asked Xianjie,

"Don't worry! If this matter is too hasty, it will easily arouse suspicion, so I will test it with Brother Zhang tomorrow. Zong Zheng didn't realize that the wise Fa Si Pa had noticed his intentions, and thought that Zhang Hongyan would be easier to start, so he planned to start with it, but unfortunately, Fa Si Pa had already issued a general order to prevent the leakage of the female assassin's news.

The next day, Zong Zheng came to Zhang Hongyan's tent, ready to ask tentatively, Zhang Hongyan saw that it was Zong Zheng coming, so he greeted him politely.

"Zong Zheng is here, I don't know what happened?" Zhang Hongyan asked.

"The army outside has been in a tense dispatch, I don't know what's going on?" Zong Zheng didn't go straight to the topic, but asked another doubt in his heart,

Zhang Hongyan explained: "A few days ago, our army's secret agents learned that the king of Mobei has gathered heavy troops from the north to come violently, and the Great Khan is mobilizing troops to prepare to meet the enemy, and I will lead the troops in a few days!"

Zhang Hongyan looked anxious and said that the atmosphere was still tense, but Zong Zheng didn't care and pretended to be concerned.

"The army is all open, who will protect the safety of the Great Khan, and will not be afraid of those masters openly assassinating like the last time?" asked Zongzheng,

Zhang Hongyan didn't care, he replied indifferently: "Don't worry, Lord Xingtai and the national teacher have already made arrangements!"

"What if they take the opportunity to save the female Assassin? Zong Zhengfu asked again,

Zhang Hongyan said even more disapprehantly: "This makes you even more worried, if you want to save people, they have already come to save them, and I haven't seen them do anything for more than half a year!

"I still have to guard against it, Brother Zhang might as well tell me where the female assassin is now, and I will secretly guard against it, and at the same time secretly protect the Great Khan, so that it will not seem that I am useless in the army. Zongzheng proposed,

When Zhang Hongyan saw Zong Zheng mention the matter of the female assassin, he couldn't help but think of the general order of the national teacher Fa Sipa, and then said to Zong Zheng: "Zongzheng, I don't know where the female assassin is imprisoned, but you can rest assured, the national teacher is solely responsible for this matter, and he does things, the Great Khan and we are very relieved!"

Seeing that Zhang Hongyan didn't know where the female assassin was being held, Zong Zheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't see it on his face, he suddenly thought of another person, and after a while, he excused himself and said goodbye.
