The twilight fell, and the bells of Yuheng rang.
The whole city of Jiangzhou is full of elements, the river is full of lights outside the city, the Yangtze River is calm and the waves are calm, and the water lanterns flow down the river, flowing into the twilight, at the end of the evening sky.
Cai Yan stood at the height of the pavilion in the palace, looking at the scarlet color at the end of the Yangtze River. He never expected that Wu Du and Duan Ling would even be able to avoid this. Feng Duo's carefully designed route was all detoured by them, and it was not until Jiangzhou was approaching that Cai Yan delivered a thunderous blow.
Unexpectedly, Wu Du's kung fu has reached an unstoppable level. One person, one sword, killed a total of 112 assassins arranged by himself, and it was still in front of the emperor's mausoleum in Yuheng Mountain! When Cai Yan learned that Wu Du and Duan Ling went down the mountain, his eyes darkened immediately, knowing that the final battle was coming.
Soon, the real emperor of Da Chen will come to the court and stand in front of him.
His face was no different from that of a dead person, and he didn't know how long he could live.
"Your Highness." Feng Duo said behind Cai Yan, "Xie You has been ordered to impose a curfew throughout the city."
"It's late." Cai Yan said, "they have already entered the city."
Feng Duo's life could not be saved. They were on the same boat, but Feng Duo was originally a death row prisoner, but he just died again.
"Your Highness." Feng Duo said, "There are only twenty-eight guards guarding the mausoleum, so the minister sent another team to dispose of the bodies, and issued a secret order in the name of His Highness, calling the shadow team to work in Jiangzhou. ."
"Do you think this is useful?" Cai Yan closed his eyes and said solemnly.
Feng Duo replied: "At least Xie You won't know about the shadow team, and neither will the ministers in the court."
"So what?" Cai Yan said, "The guards of the mausoleum disappeared overnight, and everyone is not deaf. Who can hide it?"
Feng Duo added: "I have sent people to see that the black iron emperor armor in the tomb of the late emperor is gone."
Cai Yan just didn't speak, Feng Duo bowed again and said: "I have someone deliberately created an illusion that someone entered the emperor's mausoleum, stole His Majesty's emperor's armor, and secretly ordered the black armor army. Now is a time of trouble, Fear that a traitor will take the opportunity to cause chaos, let the Heijia Army take strict precautions, and pay attention to people with suspicious behavior. If Wu Du and Wang Shan can be caught, and the emperor's armor can be found on their bodies, then they can sit on the ground and be guilty of ulterior motives."
Cai Yan said: "It's too late, it's too late."
"There is still a chance." Feng Duo said patiently, "Your Highness, we haven't lost yet."
Cai Yan turned around and glanced at Feng Duo.
"Did you know?" Cai Yan said, "Today Wuluohou Mu was out of the palace and heard a rumor that there were discussions in the streets and alleys, but he was not the biological son of the late emperor."
"That's a rumor sent by the minister to spread." Feng Duo replied respectfully.
Cai Yan: "..."
Feng Duo added: "The rumors came out suddenly, and His Majesty has not yet left for the funeral. If the ministers in the court heard these words, they would definitely think that someone deliberately spread them."
"And then?" Cai Yan frowned slightly, feeling a glimmer of hope.
Feng Duo replied: "In the early morning tomorrow, the minister has arranged for a copy on the censor's desk. Your Highness only needs to pretend to be helpless and not cure the crime of this rumor. At that time, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, Lord Chen, Lord Jian and the cabinet Mr. Zheng will come forward. , demanded to pursue this rumored rumour."
"General Xie will definitely stand on His Highness's side." Feng Duo said, "Let him lead someone to search. As long as they find the whereabouts of Wang Shan and Wu Du, and find the whereabouts of the emperor's armor, they will not run or come."
"They ran away." Feng Duo said, "It can be proved that it has something to do with this rumor; when they come, it is just right, don't ask the reason, they will be detained together, as long as Wu Du is not with Wang Shan, let Wuluohou Mu go and give him the gift. A whole corpse is enough, and then push it on the shepherd's body, so that he can be convicted of murder and silence."
Feng Duo's strategy was intertwined with each other. Cai Yan heard it so hastily, he couldn't turn his head for a while, frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay to hear it, but... what if Xie You believed him?"
"Xie You won't believe him." Feng Duo said, "Why believe him?"
Cai Yan said: "Xie You has too much suspicion, so I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it. You think, why did Wang Shan come to this muddy water for no reason? He has no motive. If I were Xie You, I would believe him instead. Because everything is so out of the ordinary."
Feng Duo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then there is only one last method left, but this method is tantamount to scheming with a tiger to label Xie You as one of them, intending to rebel."
Cai Yan said: "Now Jiangzhou is under his control..."
"Let Han Bin enter the city." Feng Duo said, "General Han has 50,000 heavy troops in his hands, and he is on his way. Tomorrow night at the latest, he will be able to reach Jiangzhou."
Cai Yan was silent, and after a long time, turned around and went downstairs.
Feng Duo's back was covered in sweat, and it was very cool when the wind blew. After a while, Cai Yan glanced at Feng Duo and let out a long sigh.
"Do as you say."
Cai Yan finally replied.
Looking around the world, in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are only two of my own people, one is Feng Duo and the other is Lang Junxia. In the name of protecting the prince again, Feng Duo transferred warriors from Xichuan to Jiangzhou in training. Now there is a serious shortage of manpower. The shadow team and the reserve army are almost wiped out. If the black armor sees Cai Yan's identity, they will stop That's it!
In the darkness of the night, the flowers and lights in the river flowed, but in the darkness, two people were waiting outside the city gate, got on a carriage, and quietly entered the city.
Wu Du was exhausted, with several arrow wounds on his body, and blood still oozing from under the bandages. As soon as he got in the car, Duan Ling immediately unbuttoned Wu Du's robe, and then unbuttoned his night clothes to expose his shoulders and heal his wounds.
Zheng Yan drove the car in front without saying a word. When he arrived at the backyard of a family, he got in the car and looked at Wu Du.
"How is it?" Zheng Yan said, "so badly hurt?"
Wu Du's face turned pale, he glanced at Zheng Yan, but did not speak to him.
"Is Your Majesty here?" Wu Du asked.
Zheng Yan nodded, and Duan Ling didn't really feel relieved until this time.
"Go see your fourth uncle." Wu Duchao said to Duan Ling.
"Let's go together." Duan Ling insisted on helping Wu Du to get out of the car. Wu Du had half of his body resting on Duan Ling's shoulder. This time, the emperor's mausoleum had one enemy against one hundred.
"Be careful." Zheng Yan whispered.
Duan Ling asked, "What place is this?"
"An old acquaintance's home." Zheng Yan said, "For the time being, it's safe."
The lights in the room were dim, and there was an old couple inside. The man was cutting snail tails by the couch, and the woman was tearing green onions. Hearing the sound of Zheng Yan pushing the door, he hurriedly got up to pick it up. Duan Ling nodded as a salute, and Zheng Yan added, "This is my friend's parents."
"Which old friend is good?" Wu Du asked weakly.
"The boss of the number one stall in the world." Zheng Yan replied.
Zheng Yan helped Wu Du into the backyard, went into the firewood room, pulled away a wooden board inside, walked along the underground stairs into the passage, and walked out through another exit after a while, it was a dark courtyard with four walls. In the courtyard, Li Yanqiu was drinking tea and reading a book.
Duan Ling almost lost all the strength in his body, and quickly stepped forward and hugged Li Yanqiu.
"I knew you would come back." Li Yanqiu hugged Duan Ling, asked him to sit up, and looked at Wu Du again.
"Why did you get hurt so badly?" Li Yanqiu asked.
"Fortunately not to be humiliated." Wu Duqiang held on and saluted Li Yanqiu. Li Yanqiu also helped him up and asked Zheng Yan to take him into the room to heal him.
Duan Ling took Li Yanqiu's hand and first took his pulse. Fortunately, the pulse was stable and there was no abnormality.
"How could you hide it from me?" Duan Ling said anxiously.
Li Yanqiu laughed and said, "I knew you would be angry."
Duan Ling's brows were deeply furrowed, of course it was impossible to really get angry with Li Yanqiu, so he could only shake his head.
"Some things, if I have to pay such a big price, I would rather not." Duan Ling said, "I have often regretted these years. If I had said this earlier, maybe..."
"Shh." Li Yanqiu said, "In this world, there is no such thing as worth it or not, only whether it is worth it or not. Some things, even if you know that you will die, you have to do them, right?"
When Li Yanqiu said this, Duan Ling's mood was extremely complicated, and he sighed again.
"I thought you would be at Xie You's place." Duan Ling said, "There is no Heijia army nearby. It's too dangerous, why didn't you tell him?"
Li Yanqiu said, "I'll tell you tomorrow, go to bed first, Huang'er, it's getting late, and you're tired all the way."
Duan Ling insisted on figuring out what happened, but Li Yanqiu became serious and said, "You must listen to me, Huang'er."
Duan Ling had to give up and went back to his room to change the medicine for Wu Du and wash the wound. Wu Du still had a fever due to the injury.
Zheng Yan came in and said, "I have to go, I can't leave the palace for too long, so as not to cause suspicion."
Duan Ling prescribed the medicine and said, "Help me get some medicine... No, wait, you're gone, what about the fourth uncle?"
"He said it doesn't matter." Zheng Yan replied, "Now no one will know that he is still alive, right here."
"But Cai Yan is staring at us." Duan Ling said, "I'm afraid his people will follow us all the way."
"They were all thrown away by me." Zheng Yan pulled up his cloak, covered his face, took the prescription, and said, "He doesn't have many people left now, and the warriors from Xichuan haven't been transferred yet."
Duan Ling said: "What if someone comes to assassinate again?"
"Who else can assassinate?" Zheng Yan said, "The four major assassins are all under your command, what about Changliu-Jun? When will you come?"
Even though he said that, Duan Ling still didn't feel very stable. However, Li Yanqiu's character was always adventurous. Now that he had reached this point, if Zheng Yan disappeared for too long, it would be suspicious.
"Don't worry." Zheng Yan said, "The boss of the No. 1 stall in the world is the fifth largest assassin."
Duan Ling: "..."
Zheng Yan laughed, put one hand on his chest, knelt down on one knee, and stood up neatly as soon as his knee touched the ground, and said, "Your Highness, you are back."
After Zheng Yan finished speaking, his robe fluttered, he turned and walked out of the room. With a hula la, he jumped up the courtyard wall and left with flying eaves.
