Volume 3 The Mountain Rain is Coming Chapter 196 Clues
When he went out, Li Zhe saw Wu Mingwei waiting outside the door.
He didn't say much, he just said, Senior Sister Wu, let's go, so he hid his figure and quietly fled out of the mountain.
Li Zhe said to go, so simply, Wu Mingwei was also stunned, but she didn't say anything more, and hurriedly chased after her.
In order to avoid the prying eyes of well-intentioned people, Li Zhe specially escaped from a route that no one enters on weekdays.
A few days later, a couple came to the gate of Zhongjing City, the man was handsome and chic in white, and the woman was in a red dress, which was enchanting. Needless to say, of course, the two of them are Li Zhewu Mingwei who has put on a little makeup.
Walking on the bustling street, Wu Mingwei suddenly hugged Li Zhe's right arm affectionately, her plump breasts rested in her arms intentionally or unintentionally, and asked gently: "Husband, where do we go first?"
Li Zhe frowned, his right arm slipped from Wu Mingwei's arms like a loach, and he sighed secretly in his heart: "It's really self-inflicted, you can't live." ”
For the sake of ease of movement, on the way here, Li Zhe proposed that the two of them pretend to be sisters and brothers.
Wu Mingwei disagreed, so she had to pretend to be husband and wife.
Li Zhe doesn't care, husband and wife are husband and wife, anyway, they are pretending.
Unexpectedly, this woman seemed to have received some kind of permission, and her behavior suddenly became much bolder, which made Li Zhe very uncomfortable.
If he had known that this would be the case, Li Zhe would not have agreed to it.
Along the way, as long as he expressed his intimacy, Li Zhe would immediately avoid it and deliberately keep his distance.
However, Wu Mingwei did not feel the slightest unhappiness, but was a little happy.
In her heart, Li Zhe and Zhong Ling'er are a pair of lovers, if she intervenes, Li Zhe will throw herself into her arms, this kind of man who sees things differently is unreliable at all.
She knew that this kind of thing would not come in a hurry, anyway, with the acquiescence of the elders, this kind of opportunity would come later.
Even if Li Zhe is a piece of ice for ten thousand years, Miss Ben will cover you up.
In order to avoid Wu Mingwei's embarrassment, Li Zhe took out a folding fan from his left sleeve, unfolded it and fanned it a few times, and replied: "Madam, let's go to the hotel in front of us for a meal first, and then decide where to stay." ”
The two spirit seed stage monks have already opened the valley, and what else do they need to eat. Although Wu Mingwei didn't understand Li Zhe's intentions, it was obvious that she would not refuse Li Zhe's proposal.
Under the guidance of Li Zhe, the two came to the hotel where Li Zhe often went and ordered a table of good food and wine.
Wu Mingwei grew up in Yunmeng Sect, and she has been eating Bigu Dan since she was a child.
On the contrary to her, Li Zhe is holding a wine glass in his hand and is full of sorrow.
To be honest, Li Zhe is not optimistic about the outcome of this trip, and most of them will end up fruitless.
The purpose of the Yin family's overall situation in Zhongjing is to collect strong souls and repair the five soul devouring flags.
Now that this purpose has been achieved, with the cautious style of the Yin family, all relevant personnel should have been evacuated.
I'm afraid it's too late to find it now.
Although there is not much chance, Li Zhe doesn't want to give up, so he still has to work hard.
The people who could decide the time of the war and the location of the battlefield, except for Emperor Zhao Yide, were several of his close ministers.
As the emperor, Zhao Yide is the most deciding and the most suspicious.
Although Zhao Yide is the emperor, it is not too difficult to control him with the means of the Yin family monks, or even directly replace him with people.
Therefore, Li Zhe decided to sneak into the palace after dark and go to the place where Zhao Yide lives, maybe he can find some clues. By the way, take a look at the imperial concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids around him, and see if there are any suspicious people.
If not, investigate the other ministers.
After making up his mind, Li Zhe's mood was much lighter, and he also picked up chopsticks and feasted.
At this moment, three people walked in from outside the door.
When he raised his eyes, Li Zhe was happy in his heart, and he was dozing off, when the pillow was delivered to the door.
The three of them are Li Zhe's old acquaintances, and the three brothers Zhao Hu, Zhang Ying, and Zeng Niu have met twice in this restaurant.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the three of them have not changed much except for being a little old.
The boss Zhao Hu is the emperor's personal attendant, and he must know a lot of inside information, and if he is controlled, he will definitely be able to ask for a lot of useful information.
After the three of them sat down, Zhang Ying spoke first: "The army has been dispatched for a few months, and the Tang newspaper half a month ago said that it was going to fight a decisive battle with Wu and Yue. Half a month has passed, and there is no new news, so I'm really anxious. ”
"Second brother, you're too impatient. The Beacon Plain is extremely far away from Zhongjing, and it is 800 miles to expedit, and it will take more than half a month to send the Tang newspaper back. According to Brother Wei's estimates, it will take at least five days for the results of the battle to come back. Zhao Hu laughed and said.
"Big brother, I think Your Majesty is a little too hasty in this decisive battle. Although we have won successive battles and the morale of our troops has been high in recent years, the combined forces of the two countries are half larger than ours, and we are not sure of victory. Zhang Ying continued worriedly.
"Second brother, don't talk about Your Majesty's decision. His Majesty is a natural general, and the strategy in his chest is greatly inferior to those ancient famous generals. You think that if we don't have the upper hand, in the eyes of Your Majesty, we will already win. ”
"Big brother, I greatly admire Your Majesty's strategy. However, even I, a rough man, know that the cavalry of our Zhou State is inferior to Wu and Yue, and if we choose a decisive battle on the plains, we will suffer a great loss, and the chances of victory will definitely be reduced. Your Majesty has always liked to use soldiers in the mountains, why is it unusual?"
This question was being asked in Li Zhe's heart, and he hurriedly pricked up his ears and waited for Zhao Hu's answer.
"Oh. The third brother was able to see this, and the eldest brother was really surprised. You are right, Your Majesty originally chose the location of the decisive battle, which was 500 miles to the south, which was a mountainous area. However, Prime Minister Yin proposed that the decisive battle be moved to the plains. His reason was that although mountain warfare could give full play to the advantages of our army, it was not conducive to encirclement, and at most it could only defeat the armies of Wu and Vietnam. There is only one chance for a decisive battle, and if you don't do it all, those defeated armies will regroup. Our army will be plunged into a long war. His Majesty thought about it for a long time, but still took his suggestion, and was ready to take some risks and annihilate the main forces of the two countries in one fell swoop on the plains. After such a war, the two countries had no more troops to use and had to surrender. ”
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Zhao Hu immediately answered the biggest question in Li Zhe's heart, saving him a lot of things.
Yin Cheng and Prime Minister Yin left the song, and the name suddenly jumped into Li Zhe's brain.
Li Zhe always thought that Yin Lige's surname was Yin.
Normal people will think that if it is really someone from the Yin family to promote this plan, it should also be a makeover, how can they use their real name to show off the market.
Therefore, in Li Zhe's heart, this suspicion of Yin Lige is the youngest close minister.
Now, all the suspicions are focused on Yin Lige, and Li Zhe vaguely guessed that Yin Lige was probably playing a trick with himself when he was fake and true.
With Wu Mingwei's cultivation, the conversation between the three of them also fell into her ears word for word.
She put down her chopsticks and set her eager gaze on Li Zhe.
Without further ado, the sooner you go, the more likely you are to find a clue.
How could Li Zhe not understand this kind of truth, so he immediately checked out the bill and took Wu Mingwei straight to Yin Lige's mansion.
The scale of the prime minister's mansion is not too small, there are seven or eight houses, dozens of houses.
The two of them let go of their senses, covering all the buildings, confirming the presence of no monks.
Li Zhe was not surprised by this result, unless it was the primordial old monster who could conceal his aura, it would be monitored by the Yunmeng Sect's large array.
"Senior sister, let's go through all the rooms separately. You start the search from the east, and I'll look from the west to see if there are any clues. Confirming that there was no danger, Li Zhe decided to go his separate ways.
Although it was daytime, the two Spirit Seed Stage monks were hidden, and mortals had no chance of seeing through it.
Soon, the two of them completely checked the Yin Mansion and couldn't find anything related to the monk.
If you can't find something useful, ask someone.
Li Zhe let go of his divine sense and quickly locked on an old man in his fifties.
The old man was slightly chubby, his expression was serious, and he walked with a sense of majesty.
Everywhere he went, someone saluted him: "I have seen the chief manager." ”
Since he is the chief manager, he should be Yin Lige's cronies, and he may know some inside stories.
After inspecting all parts of the Yin Mansion, the old man returned to the middle hall.
Li Zhe and the others also sneaked to the beam of the middle hall, ready to take action to restrain the old man.
After the old man sat down, he instructed the housekeeper at the door, "Go and call me the groom Li Er." ”
Li Zhe and the others didn't want to cause a commotion, so they had to be patient.
After a while, a middle-aged strong man walked in and said, "I wonder what the chief manager is looking for me?"
"What are you doing with the carriage?"
"Back to the chief manager, the master asked me to set up the carriage in the early morning of the eighteenth day of every month, and he would use it at any time. ”
"Nonsense. The old man went out with the army, who do you set up the car for, and don't unload it. ”
The middle-aged strong man hurriedly confessed and retreated.
Seeing that there was no one else in the middle hall, Li Zhe jumped off the beam and restrained the old man's Yuan Shen with a wave of his hand.
"What's your name?" Li Zhe asked suddenly.
The old man, whose eyes were glazed, replied, "Wu Youcai." ”
"What is your relationship with the Yin family?"
"I'm the chief steward of the old man, and I've been doing it for almost twenty years. ”
"Isn't that the Yin family I'm talking about?" Li Zhe asked in an accentuated tone.
The old man's stiff face showed a blank look, and he muttered in his mouth: "Other Yin families, no." In addition to the master, there is no big family surnamed Yin in Zhongjing City. ”
Li Zhe was disappointed for a while, it seemed that this Wu Da Guan knew very little.
"Is there a subordinate in the mansion who is always sent out to the city to do business, or is there always a friend from outside the city who comes to visit your master?" Li Zhe asked with a move in his heart.
Yin Lige must pass on information to his own family, and Zhongjing City is under the monitoring of the Yunmeng Sect Array, and it is impossible for monks below the Yuan Infant Stage to sneak in. It is impossible for the old monster to be a messenger for him, so the transmission of information can only be carried out outside the city. Such a secret matter, the less people know about it, the better, there must be a special person in charge of this matter, so Li Zhe asked.
"No, I don't. ”
The answer was still no, and Li Zhe's face suddenly became difficult to look at.
He couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart, could it be that I was wrong, there was no problem with Yin Lige.
