Chapter 129: Mochou Lake (I)
Su Yue immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, clenched his hands into fists and said, "Master, the disciple immediately went to Yuhang to protect Ji Feng and Tong Ye." ”
Ning Wuji put the scroll in his hand on the wooden case, pondered for a moment, looked at Chai Wuming and asked, "Nameless, what do you think about this matter?"
Chai Wuming's eyebrows were tightly locked, his right hand was holding his neck, and he looked at Su Yue who was kneeling on the ground, with a slight sadness on his face. He secretly said in his heart that the Infinite Palace was a mysterious force hidden in Lianyun Peak, but if they wanted to compete head-on with the Jinyi Guard, I am afraid they would not have the courage to do so, unless they were instructed by others. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he picked up Su Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Shibo, the little nephew thinks that if they are really targeting a few of us, they might as well lure the snake out of the hole." ”
"Lead the snake out of the hole?" Su Yue turned his head to look at Chai Wuming beside him, looking confused. He immediately turned his head, clasped his hands into fists and saluted Ning Wuji, "If the Infinite Palace is targeting any of us, then Tong Ye and Ji Feng need to be recalled immediately. But if their target is Cao Haotian, then it has nothing to do with us. Our purpose is just to bring Cao Haotian back to King Qing's Mansion smoothly, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. ”
Ning Wuji thought for a moment, his face turned grim, he looked at the three people in front of him, and said, "Whether it is the Eight Great Sects or the Infinite Palace, as long as you dare to make trouble in Jinling, you will immediately ask for the Iron Floating Slaughter." ”
"Yes," all three replied at the same time.
"The plan to lure the snake out of the hole is good, you can act alone, the division has already asked the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to transfer 5,000 Iron Floating Slaughter, and they will support you at any time. Ning Wuji picked up three wooden sticks from the wooden case and threw them at the three of them, Su Yue, Chai Wuming and Yu Tassel caught them with their right hands, "You can retreat." ”
Just after the Jinling New Year, it was rumored in the court that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for a concubine for the emperor's grandson, and the forces of all parties were surging. Although King Qing was attached to the prince's mansion, he had privately cultivated his wings, and at the same time, the feudal kings of various places took the opportunity to win the hearts of the people in the court and cultivate henchmen.
......
After Fei Ming and the others returned to the Jinling Dart Bureau, they packed their bags, although Nangong Bai kept them many times, they still refused. The disciples of the eight major factions gathered in Jinling and forcibly broke into the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, which was only separated by a wall from the imperial city, and instantly became a must-talk thing in the streets and alleys of the entire Jinling City. In the past, the high-flying and domineering Jinyi Wei no longer has that arrogant arrogance.
Song Lingbing was seriously injured, and he was Nangong Yu's senior brother, so he was finally forced to stay in the dart game to continue to recuperate. Under the recommendation of Nangong Yu, Fei Ming took the disciples of the seven factions to stay at the Red Dust Inn on the west bank of Mochou Lake, although there are many reckless people in the rivers and lakes, they are all afraid of the status of the eight major factions of martial arts and dare not make a mistake.
The sparkling water of the lake was one after another ** towards the Hongchen Inn on the shore, and after the word was passed on to the Jinling Dart Bureau, eight good guest rooms had already been vacated in the inn for Fei Ming and his party to rest. At this moment, the shopkeeper of the inn stood under the archway at the entrance of the street with a smile on his face to greet the disciples of the eight major factions, and there were even more people pouring out of the restaurants and teahouses on both sides to surround the streets, as if there was a grand occasion of the eight factions meeting martial arts in Luoyang. Fei Ming, Yuankong, Night Star, Xia Qingyi, Yue Menghan, Mu Ning, Lan Jing and Yingluo walked in two columns in turn.
"The small one is the second child of the Hongchen Inn store, where I welcome a few heroes. A man in a coarse cloth velvet coat stood under the archway of the street shop and greeted him, waving his hand to greet the disciples of the eight sects.
When Night Star saw him, he looked cold and handsome, and said lightly, "Lead the way ahead." "Holding a pair of people, with the strength of one person to defeat Leng Xiuyue, the head of the eight protectors of the Jinyi Guard, passers-by on both sides of the street have been discussing, the night star fought in Jinling for the first time, and defeated Leng Xiuyue, who made the people in the city flee when the people in the Jinyi Guard, and everyone applauded.
At this time, although the night star was a little complacent, he still held his senses, he knew that the real purpose of the Eight Great Sects going south to Jinling this time was to arrest Cao Haotian and find the whereabouts of the owner of Murong Mansion. Moreover, the masters of various factions will also come to Jinling City in the next few days. His own skills have only reached the realm of the first glimpse of the blade, and if he is too ostentatious at this time, he will definitely cause unnecessary trouble to the master. He hurriedly followed the shopkeeper, half-bowing to lead the way for the others.
The matter of the eight major factions going south to Jinling was instantly known in the rivers and lakes, and the people of the martial arts factions flocked to Jinling, and even the killers hidden in the shadows also surfaced, which made the Jinling defenders desolate for a while, and the prince's mansion urgently arranged for the prince to return to the court to discuss. It is rare to see people in the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and at this moment Jinling Street can be seen everywhere, and the eight major factions have broken into the town and Fu Division, and the matter of seriously injuring a large number of Jinyi guards has immediately spread throughout Jinling.
Although Mochou Lake is a scenic spot in Jinling, but has long been owned by the royal ministers, in a courtyard on the east bank of the lake, more than 10 people in brocade clothes guard outside the wooden door bamboo garden, all the visitors from outside are blocked from a few zhang.
"Waste! These wastes are really a loss of face in the palace, if this matter reaches the ears of my father, won't it be laughed at by others?" The prince in plain clothes sat quietly by a window in the bamboo building, and threw the teacup in his hand violently on the ground, so that all the guards on the side were stunned.
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words fell, a brocade-clothed man standing on the side suddenly laughed and said, "Your Highness is too worried, a few Jianghu Xiaoxiao broke into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, it should be Ning Wuji incompetent, why not take this opportunity to write to His Majesty the Emperor to remove him?"
"Remove, how important is the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, how could my father be.... Zikai, you haven't been following us for a day or two. His Royal Highness the Prince's face sank, and he suddenly fell into a deep thought, and he quietly looked at several pleasure boats on Mochou Lake.
"Prince Kai didn't dare to forget, since the Jinyi Guard was handed over to King Qing, his subordinates ordered the Shadow Wind Guard to monitor their every move. Wang Zikai smiled slightly and stood respectfully on the right side of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"It's not that this palace doesn't believe King Qing, it's just that what he has done in recent years is.... Forget it, let's not talk about him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and motioned for Wang Zikai to come forward.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Wang Zikai bowed his head and stood beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coughed dryly, looked at Mochou Lake outside the window with an unchanged face, and said, "Since the death of the old Liang Guogong, the power of this palace in the army is not as good as the fourth, if the Dingguo Gong really stands on the side of King Yan, what do you think should be done?"
"This..."Wang Zikai bit his lip, his face was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, his right hand gently swiped around his neck, and said in a low voice, "If the Duke of Dingguo is really like this, he can't stay." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head to look at Wang Zikai who leaned over, his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly said sharply, "Bold!" Wang Zikai hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to say another word.
The brocade-clothed waiter outside the door rushed in quickly, and was glared back by the fierce gaze of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the waiter lowered his head and slowly retreated to the wooden corridor outside the bamboo building.
