Chapter 471: Exploring the Horse Mansion at Night
In less than a meal, the shopkeeper reappeared in the private room of Wu Dunru and others, holding a piece of information and the information of Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan that Guo Fu had just asked for.
After Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan came out of the palace, they went to Ma Tianji's mansion together, and the two talked secretly in the study for a long time, but they have not come out until now, and the content of the conversation needs to be further explored, but Ma Tianji is very careful and retreats all the subordinates, so it is very difficult. The shopkeeper reported the latest news about Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan that had not yet had time to be included in the intelligence to Guo Fu and the others.
Wu Dunru was looking down and carefully examining the information in his hand, most of which he already knew before, so he only had to skim through it hastily, and some of the latest information was focused on.
"What's so special?" Guo Fu thought for a moment and asked, "Especially in the last few days, have any Mongol minions come to Lin'an Mansion?" ”
"This ......" the shopkeeper's face was slightly embarrassed, "The flow of people in Lin'an Mansion is too large, our intelligence is not enough to control it all, important people and things will be arranged, but as for whether there are Mongolians coming, there is no news yet." ”
"After all, the establishment time is still too short, you have done a good job, I just casually asked, we will find a way to deal with the affairs of the Mongols, and the shopkeeper doesn't have to worry too much!" Wu Dunru smiled slightly and comforted.
Guo Fu sent the grateful shopkeeper down, and waited for Wu Dunru to check all the information before asking, "How is Brother Dunru?"
"It depends on the situation, although Concubine Yan has helped us blow the pillow wind in the emperor's ears, the emperor is not completely mediocre, and has already rejected their request. But Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan even had other officials in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the face of the results we have worked hard for, it is obvious that we will not give up. And we can't expect the emperor to be so wise forever. So we still need to solve all this ourselves. Wu Dunru laughed.
"Hmph, that dog official stretched out their dog paws, and this girl chopped it off!" Guo Fu slapped the table and said angrily.
"Okay, let's get ready and go and explore this Ma Tianji's mansion!" Wu Dunru decided, and after the three of them finished eating and drinking, and explained to the shopkeeper, they returned to the inn where they were staying.
As soon as night fell, two black-clothed figures wearing night clothes quietly flew in from the tall courtyard wall of "Mafu", and the housekeepers patrolling in the Mafu courtyard were unaware.
These two people are Wu Dunru and Guo Fu, who sneaked into the palace before, and Wu Dunru was afraid that the palace was heavily guarded and there were many masters. So he resolutely did not let Guo Fu take the risk to sneak in with him.
But this time to visit the Ma Mansion at night, Guo Fu had to come anyway, Wu Dunru thought that even if there were some family guards in this Ma Mansion, it should not be able to cause much trouble to the two of them, so he agreed to Guo Fu to accompany him.
I saw that Wu Dunru seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the Ma Mansion, turned left and right in the courtyard, and after a while, he evaded all the family guards and easily came to the outside of the study of the Ma Mansion.
Wu Dunru and Guo Fu flew to the roof of the study, and they could hear the sound of intermittent conversation coming from the study. Wu Dunru and Guo Fu gently lifted the tiles on the roof and looked into the study.
I saw two men in official uniforms sitting in the study, and there was no doubt that they were Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan.
"Brother Ma. Why haven't you said that the person who came hasn't come yet? The two of us have been waiting for so long, and these people's shelves are inevitably too big, right? Even the emperor didn't let me wait so long......" Ding Daquan complained with a somewhat dissatisfied laugh.
"Brother Ding, don't be impatient. These people are no better than today's saints!" Ma Tianji smiled inscrutablely, "Does Brother Ding think that Guo Fu's group of horsemen can really defeat the Mongols completely?"
"This ...... Although they are now in full swing, it is extremely difficult to truly defeat the Mongols completely, and when the Mongols breathe a sigh of relief, I am afraid that they will be so lucky. Ding Daquan sighed pessimistically and said, "The best situation is to maintain the status quo now, and if you don't do it well, you may be fiercely counterattacked by the Mongols, or even ......."
Ding Daquan didn't finish his words, but Ma Tianji understood what he meant, and nodded approvingly: "So we have to make two preparations, on the one hand, take advantage of the current good situation to get enough benefits, and then find a way out when the situation erodes in the future." ”
"Brother Ma means ......" Ding Daquan stopped talking in disbelief.
"Yes, the person who made an appointment for my brother today is a henchman over there. Ma Tianji stretched out his finger to the north and hinted vaguely, "This person is deeply relied on by that person, if we can get in touch with him, even if there is a case in the future, our two brothers can still get out of the way, and even still enjoy the high-ranking officials, no matter who is in charge in this world, don't they still need someone to help them take care of it?"
"Brother Ma is far-sighted, little brother admires!" Ding Daquan hugged his fists and saluted after pondering for a while when he heard this, and opened his mouth to thank him, Ma Tianji smiled and stopped talking, and the study fell silent again, Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan pondered with their own thoughts.
Wu Dunru on the roof gently held Guo Fu's hand and signaled her not to be impulsive, Guo Fu gritted her teeth and glared at the two people in the study.
"Wait a little longer, let's see what they are up to? Listen to them, they have already made contact with the Mongols, and I don't know who of Kublai Khan's men came to contact them?" Wu Dunru leaned over and whispered in Guo Fu's ear.
Wu Dunru had just appeased Guo Fu, and suddenly his face moved, showing a surprised expression, and quietly made a gesture, signaling Guo Fu to be careful and hidden, Guo Fu saw that Wu Dunru looked serious, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly followed Wu Dunru to lower his body, hiding in the shadow of the roof, and even adjusted his breathing and heartbeat to the point that it was impossible to detect.
After hiding his figure, Guo Fu also heard the slight sound of his clothes breaking through the air, and quietly raised his eyes, but saw three figures jumping forward between the courtyard walls and eaves at a very fast speed, and came to the study after a while.
Because these three people came with a big grin, they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, so the guards of the Ma Mansion came from all directions one after another.
It's just that the speed of the three people was too fast, and they had already landed in the courtyard where the study was located in an instant, Ma Tianji and Ding Daquan heard the noise outside, and couldn't help but come out to check.
I saw three monks standing in the courtyard, one of them was in his forties, with an elegant appearance, a monk who looked like a scholar, and was smiling; on the right hand side was a monk wearing a yellow robe, extremely tall and thin, holding a golden wheel like a bamboo pole; on the left hand side was also a monk in his forties, tall and dark-skinned like an iron tower, with rough facial features, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and bright eyes, wearing a red approval slip, holding a silver staff.
