Chapter Seventy-Nine: Counting in the Count

Sima Chun suddenly heard someone shouting at him, and when he looked up, it was Yuan Fu.

"Brother Yuan Fu!"

Before he could enter the door, Yuan Fu had already gone downstairs in a blink of an eye and greeted him at the door. The three of them looked at each other, Yuan Fu couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled honestly: "Presumably this is my sister-in-law, right?" Before Sima Chun could speak, he had already bowed and saluted.

Yuan Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed Sima Chun's forearm and came to the house, as soon as the front foot entered the door, the back foot ordered the store to prepare another upper room, saying that the weather was cold, and the guest room should be grilled with charcoal until it warmed people. The shopkeeper did as he was told, so no one came to greet him for a while. Yuan Fu waited a little impatiently, he relied on his acquaintance here, and simply came to get hot tea and hot wine in person.

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't be surprised, although this is the capital, the prosperous scene of the past is long gone, because there are few merchants coming and going, so ......" Yuan Fu was depressed and drank a bowl of wine in one gulp.

"In troubled times, there is no life!" Sima Chun smiled gloomily, his face was full of helplessness, "Oh, by the way, why don't you see Zhou Yi?"

As soon as Zhou Yi was mentioned, Yuan Fu's heart became more and more panicked, and he hung his head and said: "Don't mention him! He's a person, he just doesn't do things seriously, he will be in the Kanto region for a while, and he will be in the capital for a while...... I'm in a hurry!"

"Taiji Mountain?" Murong Xue couldn't help but exclaim, her face surprised.

"What, where do you know?" Sima Chun stared into her eyes and asked lightly.

Murong Xue calmed down, her face suddenly lowered again, and there seemed to be infinite sadness between her eyebrows, "Yu Xi and I passed by there when we went to Kanto, and we almost got lost......

Yuan Fu was startled, and then interrupted her, "Yes, yes, that's it! I heard Brother Zhou say that there are mysterious and mysterious, and the roads are complicated, and the locals don't dare to go up casually." What else is there for Tai Chi...... It is said that this Taiji Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and the dragon has never seen the end of the dragon, and few people can come back alive after going up!"

"Then why is he still going, why don't you stop him?" Sima Chun suddenly became nervous.

"How can I stop him, he's a stubborn cow, he doesn't agree when I go with me, and he also said that I should be here to spy on the fake Dongguo Xiu, you say, what can I do?"

Sima Chun drank a cup of tea, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly raised his head. According to what Yuan Fu said, there must be many hidden secrets in this capital that he doesn't know, "Why don't I understand your words the more I listen to them! Zhou Yi is by no means the kind of reckless person, he must have his purpose when he goes to Taiji Mountain at this time! If you think about it carefully, did he say anything else to you?"

Yuan Fu scratched his head, and couldn't think of anything left and right, "That's all, you are all mysterious, I think he is just playing tricks!"

Sima Chun's eyes were grim, as if he had guessed some mystery, "Is he a person who is playing tricks? Have you ever wondered why he asked you to spy on Brother Dongguo? Everyone in the world knows Dongguo Xiu's fame, who has the audacity to dare to pretend to be him?"

"It's hard to put into words! You can find out if you go to the General's Mansion. Yuan Fu looked out the door, and then whispered: "Dong Guo Xiu is also in the capital, and he drank with Brother Zhou all night. However, this Dongguo Show is fake!"

"This can also be fake! How did Zhou Yi know?"

Yuan Fu pouted helplessly, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If he is willing to tell me, I won't be so depressed." ”

"And how many days has he been gone?"

"It's been more than half a month. ”

"What about you, have you found anything?"

Yuan Fu leaned back and half-slumped in his chair, "It's as if you are all understanding." What can a rough man like me find?" He then remembered the confusing words that Zhou Yi had arranged for him before leaving, so he smiled, "Before he left, he instructed me to reveal to that fake from time to time some signs that we have begun to suspect him, do you know why?"

After that, seeing Sima Chun's inexplicable expression, he couldn't help laughing, "It seems that it's not that I'm not the only one who can't guess his thoughts!"

The corners of Sima Chun's mouth raised slightly, "I don't know what he thinks, but what is certain is that in this way, that fake will definitely release more information to hide his true identity or lead us to other lost paths!"

Yuan Fu's smiling face immediately froze, "This is not interesting! Even if you guess correctly, you know what to do next......

Before the words fell, Sima Chun immediately answered, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, it seems that I really have to go to this general's mansion." ”

Yuan Fu stared helplessly, and only replied to him for a long time: "It seems that you have a tacit understanding than your own brothers, that's good, this time you can say okay, I have to go with you!"

"Brother Yuan, your battlefield is to guard this base, Zhou Yi asked you to stay, and I will find it when the eight achievements are calculated. ”

"Hey, how did you become like him, flamboyant, do you think I don't have enough skills and will drag you down?"

Sima Chun paused, looked sideways at Murong Xue who was struggling on the side, and said with a smile: "You have to solve my worries." We're all gone, your ...... What should I do with my sister-in-law?"

Murong Xue immediately stood up and said loudly, "Then I'll go too!"

Sima Chun didn't speak, he looked at Yuan Fu coldly, and then at Murong Xue, the two of them lacked aura, so they had to compromise.

==***==

In the evening, Sima Chun settled Murong Xue, and quietly left the inn alone, following the path pointed out by Yuan Fu in advance, and went straight to the general's mansion.

Halfway through, I suddenly saw a group of people passing through the street, stopping at a mansion at the end of the street, and immediately getting down and hurrying into the mansion. Reflecting the light of the lanterns, the man on the horse could be vaguely dressed as a person from the Western Regions, especially the leader of the team, the turban floating under the brim of his hat was very familiar, and he seemed to see it often when he worshipped Zoroastrianism.

Sima Chun came to the Central Plains to flee, but he didn't forget for a moment that he wanted to go back to take revenge. Tossing and turning, two years passed in a hurry, but he still didn't have a clue about the Zoroastrian turmoil two years ago, so now once he saw the mark of the Western Regions, he followed desperately.

At that time, it was already dark, and Sima Chun came to the outside of the mansion, and saw that the lintel was wide and the atmosphere was magnificent. He originally thought that this was the General's Mansion, but he didn't expect that the two big lanterns at the door were shining on the plaque, and the three big characters of 'Taifu Mansion' were particularly conspicuous.

"How could it be Taifu's mansion?" Sima Chun muttered in his heart, without stopping at his feet, he turned over and jumped over the high wall.

Don't look at the deserted outside the door of the Taifu Mansion, but the mansion is a busy scene, the servants come and go shuttle between the various attics, the patrol guards are in groups of three or five, coming and going, talking about majesty, here is not lost to the emperor's bedroom.

Sima Chun jumped on the roof, rising and falling on the cloister, and before he knew it, he had arrived in the backyard of the mansion. There is a magnificent pillar hall there, and the shop is dimly lit, and it seems that there are still people in the hall.

He was about to go over to check when he saw a figure swing behind him, and when he turned around, a man in a nightgown stood in front of him. Sima Chun hurriedly drew his sword, only to see the man make a silent gesture on the side of his mouth, and then said softly: "I am Dong Guoxiu, you are Brother Sima?"

Sima Chun was taken aback, although he went out tonight to meet this Dongguo Xiu, he never expected to meet him here. If you come, you will be safe, and you will be on guard anyway, so you will hold your fists and say: "Brother Dongguo, why are you here?"

"This is not the place to talk, come with me!" he said, turning and jumping off the ridge of the roof, and following a secluded path to a very secluded place. There was a small door there, and when you pushed the door in, it was a secret passage, and the two of them walked about a shot one after the other before they got out of the secret passage. There was a water pavilion in front of him, and there was a small pavilion on it, and Dongguo Xiu invited him to talk under the pavilion.

"Brother, how did you know that I was Sima Chun?" he went straight to the point and did not hide it at all, just as Zhou Yi instructed, to make this person feel that he had been suspected.

Dong Guo Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I heard Yuan Fu say that Zhou Yi has made a brother, very similar to him, I saw you when you entered the door just now, who else can come here at this moment, except for Sima Chun?"

Sima Chun pretended to be puzzled, and then clasped his fists and saluted, "I also heard Yuan Fu talk about my brother, so I want to go to the General's Mansion to find you, why did you go to the Taifu Mansion again?"

Dong Guo Xiu smiled: "Let's talk about you first, since you are going to the General's Mansion to find me, why did you also come here?"

"To tell you the truth, it was a group of people in the Western Regions style who brought me here. ”

"Oh?" Dong Guo Xiu lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, "It seems that Brother Sima wants to know the origin of these people?"

"Exactly, listening to my brother's tone, do you know where they came from?"

"Of course I know, that's why I'm here. ”

As soon as Sima Chun heard what he said, and always wanted to be wary of him, he asked again, "Please tell my brother the truth!"

Dong Guo Xiu said eloquently: "Above the court, the hussar general is proud of his merits and despises the emperor's prestige. The Son of Heaven is weak and does not dare to disobey him. But the prince was strong by nature, so he asked the prince to plan for him and secretly monitor every move of the general's mansion. In the long run, the general and the Taifu have become incompatible rivals. Coincidentally, the mansions of these two powerful ministers were not far apart, and in order to secretly spy on Hou Jing, Taifu sent someone to secretly build the secret passage. In order not to let people discover the location of the secret passage, Taifu bought off the internal response of the general's mansion and built a pavilion here. I've been bored in the General's Mansion these days before I stumbled upon this secret. Because I couldn't see Hou Jing, and there was no progress in the investigation of the General's Mansion, so I went to the Taifu Mansion through this secret passage in the past few days, but I didn't expect to meet you there today. ”

Sima Chun was skeptical, but on the surface, he had to pretend to be convinced, "That's really a coincidence, my brother is wearing pajamas, and he must be resting." ”

Dong Guoxiu was startled, only then did he realize what he was wearing, and said casually: "Oh, I was already asleep, but I remembered what I said to Zhou Yi a few days ago, and I was really uneasy, so I thought about coming out and going around." By the way, didn't you say that you were lured by the people of the Western Regions?

As soon as Sima Chun was asked by him, his thoughts immediately retracted, "Not yet, I just arrived here." ”

"You don't have to worry, there will be people from the Western Regions who come to deliver letters every day in Taifu Mansion, and the truth you want will be found sooner or later. ”

"Really!" Sima Chun suddenly became energetic.

"It's not a secret, these people who came back from the Western Regions were all the eyeliners of the Taifu sent to monitor the general!"

"Eyeliner, what do you mean by that?"

Dong Guo Xiu said: "Taifu has already grasped some information, and the general is very likely to raise troops to rebel! Now it is a troubled time, he wants to take over the world, but he lacks a name, so he urgently needs a change in the world, so he can use some unknown variables to achieve his goal." ”

Sima Chun was puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with the eyeliner of the Western Regions?"

Dongguo Xiu said: "As far as I know, when Hou Yue was alive, the conspiracy of the Hou family had already begun to be implemented, they tried to collude with the Hu people in the Western Regions to start a war, but there was a Zoroastrian guard in the Western Regions, and the Hu people were difficult to make waves for a while, so the Hou father and son used their power in the rivers and lakes to try to subvert Zoroastrianism. Among them, there is a master in the world, known as 'Mr. Jin Wu'!"

"What!" As soon as Sima Chun heard 'Mr. Jin Wu', it was like a thunderclap sounded on his head! After all, his Sima clan was destroyed in the hands of this person.
