"How's it going, Zhang Dafu? What did you find out?"
In Taiyuan City, in Room No. 4 with yellow characters at Tongfu Inn, a middle-aged man opened the door and walked in. Then he closed the door. A young man inside immediately came up to him and asked urgently.
This young man is Dugu Feiying, and the middle-aged man is a soldier in the Forbidden Army named Zhang Dafu. He is one of the thirty elite Forbidden Army soldiers who first sneaked into Taiyuan City with Dugu Feiying this time!
Taiyuan is the land of Longxing (Li Yuan started his army from Taiyuan). Although the city size is not as large as Chang'an, it can be regarded as the largest city in the north of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Taiyuan later became the three capitals of the Tang Dynasty (the three capitals in the Tang Dynasty refer to Chang'an in the west and Chang'an in the east). Beidu, one of the capitals (Luoyang and Taiyuan)!
As the largest inn in Taiyuan City, Tongfu Inn is quite large in scale, with one or two hundred guest rooms. Due to the special geographical location of Taiyuan City, businessmen from the northern border to the Central Plains usually pass through here. location, so the business of Tongfu Inn is good all year round.
Dugu Feiying and others rushed to Taiyuan City around midnight yesterday afternoon. When they arrived at Tongfu Inn, there happened to be a few vacant rooms. Dugu Feiying arranged for everyone to stay here first. At night, taking advantage of the darkness, more than ten people A master of the Forbidden Army with good Qinggong skills conducted a thorough investigation of hundreds of guest rooms in the inn. In the morning, Dugu Feiying sent Zhang Dafu to inquire about some information with several inn waiters. At this time , Zhang Dafu came to Dugu Feiying to report the results.
"Back to the general, according to the investigation by subordinates and others, a group of Turks did stay in this inn the day before yesterday. The behavior of this group is very suspicious, because they are disguised as Han people during the day. Others may not be able to tell, but I, Zhang Dafu, have fought Turks on the northern border before, how could I not see this
This group seems to be led by a middle-aged man named Zhu Hongsheng, but I guess this name must be fake. This guy named Zhu Hongsheng is currently staying in the Tianzihao guest room. According to the waiter at the inn, he usually goes out at midnight in the morning and doesn't come back until late afternoon! I've asked the brothers to keep an eye on him! "
"Zhu Hongsheng? A Turk disguised as a Han? There is indeed something fishy about this Tongfu Inn!"
When Dugu Feiying heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Wasn't he sneaking into Taiyuan City in advance just to catch the Turkic spies? But even he himself didn't expect that things would go so smoothly!
"Since the waiter said that Zhu Hongsheng will go out around the clock, then you should send two brothers who are alert and good at light skills to follow him to see what he is doing when he goes out and who he meets, and then report the news to me!"
After pondering for a moment, Dugu Feiying ordered Zhang Dafu.
Although Zhu Hongsheng is very suspicious, he currently has no direct evidence to prove that Zhu Hongsheng is the spy sent to Taiyuan City by the Turks. If you catch the thief, you still have to get the stolen goods!
"yes!"
Zhang Dafu clasped his fists and accepted the order. He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Dugu Feiying: "Wait!"
Zhang Dafu turned around and saw Dugu Feiying holding his chin and thinking for a moment, and then said: "Let two brothers keep an eye on Zhu Hongsheng, and then let the rest of the brothers disperse to various parts of the city to find out what happened in Taiyuan City in recent days. Are there any other new faces here? Well, ask the guards or beggars at the city gate, they should know!"
Tongfu Inn is only one of the main places that Dugu Feiying investigates. Out of caution, he also wants to thoroughly investigate other places except the inn. This is the task assigned to him by his elder brother yesterday. On the other hand, From a personal emotional point of view, he also really does not want any accidents to happen to the Yanhuang Academy group, because he still admires Li Zexuan very much, and in terms of martial arts, Li Zexuan has given guidance to both of them!
But Taiyuan City is so big that it is simply impossible to investigate everything in the city in a short time. Even if the entire Taiyuan City government power is mobilized, it is still impossible! So for the time being, Dugu Feiying can only use the method of "asking the guards or beggars at the city gate" to try his luck!
"The last general takes command!"
Zhang Dafu responded, turned around and left.
Suddenly, Dugu Feiying was the only one left in the room.
Although everything Dugu Xin told him has been arranged, he still dare not be careless at all, because he also understands that the task of escorting everyone in Yanhuang Academy this time is very important, and there must be no room for any mistakes. He must use all his strength to make everything possible. Possible unknown risks are nipped in the cradle. For this reason, he must be cautious and even look ten steps ahead every step he takes!
If this had been done in the past, Dugu Feiying would never have done such a "brain-burning" thing. In the past, under normal circumstances, he was only responsible for fighting, and the person responsible for using his brains was his elder brother Dugu Xin. Well, of course. If he encounters someone he can't beat, his brother Duguxin will have to take action! But now that Duguxin can't "cover" him, he can only "reliance on his own"!
After sorting out all the clues in front of him in his mind, Dugu Feiying frowned slightly because he suddenly felt that the information he obtained was a bit too simple. Did he and Dugu Xin overestimate the Turks, or did he now Is the information obtained just superficial
For a moment, Dugu Feiying was caught in a tangle!
"Forget it! Go out and take a look! Find out who Zhu Hongsheng is!"
After struggling for a long time, Dugu Feiying decided to go out and investigate in person. Although he had already ordered his men to take care of the matter of following Zhu Hongsheng, he still felt that it would be more practical to go there in person!
Intuition told him that the truth of the matter seemed not as simple as they thought!

"Great Elder, Second Elder please go to the meeting hall to have a talk~!"
Taiyuan, the ancestral residence of the Wang family, North Courtyard.
Wang Binggang had just finished breakfast and was about to go out to meet some old friends for tea. At this time, a boy came in and bowed to him.
He is already over seventy years old and has enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the world in his life. He now has no desire or desire for the worldly things of the family. Nothing can arouse his interest, except for the fairy tea that has emerged this year! The unique taste of the fairy tea left him with endless aftertaste. Drinking a cup of tea was like tasting a lifetime, and he couldn't stop!
Therefore, every few days, Wang Bing would meet up with some old friends to have tea and chat! Regardless of his identity as the former head of the Wang family, Wang Bing is a very approachable person!
"Second brother? What does he want from me?"
Wang Bing frowned and couldn't help but ask.
How did the young man know this? He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Back to the First Elder, this little one doesn't know, but in addition to the Second Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder are all here in the meeting hall!"
"Huh? Even the fifth child is here?"
Wang Bing raised his eyebrows slightly. His fifth brother rarely interfered in the affairs of the clan. It seemed that Wang Kui must have something important to do with him!
"Okay! I know! Let's get over here!"
Wang Bing waved his hand and said to the boy.
"The little one has gone back to resume his life!"
The boy bowed to Wang Bing again, then turned and left.
"Is it possible that the second brother is still clinging to the matter of Renbiao marrying a commoner woman? Alas, the second brother is too stubborn!"
Looking at the boy's leaving figure, Wang Bing stood there and murmured to himself.
It's no wonder he thinks so. In fact, the only major event that happened in the Wang family recently was Wang Renbiao's marriage, and because of this matter, the Wang family had been arguing a lot in the past few days, which made Wang Bing very angry. It's a headache. Now Wang Kui has gathered all the clan elders together. In Wang Bing's opinion, it's probably because of Wang Renbiao!
"Hey, I want to have a leisurely day and drink tea, but it seems that's not possible at the moment!"
Wang Bing shook his head, sighed helplessly, and then walked towards the front yard.
Although he doesn't want to go, he can't escape the first year of junior high school, but he can't escape the fifteenth day of junior high school. He has to face what needs to be faced. If the elders of the clan don't reach a unanimous opinion on Wang Renbiao's matter for a day, he will probably not be free for a day!
"Big brother is here!"
In the meeting hall, Wang Kui and three other elders were sitting on both sides. The three people were asking Wang Kui why he had called them here today. They heard a burst of footsteps outside the house, and then they saw Wang Kui. He walked in with his hands up, and everyone quickly stood up and saluted:
"I've met my brother!"
No matter how you say it, Wang Bing is currently the most prestigious person in the Wang family in Taiyuan. As a former Situ, he was of the Sui generation. Under his leadership, the Wang family became increasingly prosperous. At that time, it was considered a relatively prosperous period for the Wang family. Now that the family is in decline, it becomes even more obvious how important Wang Bing was to the Wang family back then!
"Haha! We are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite?"
Wang Bing waved his hand, and then sat in the first seat in the middle without hesitation. After everyone was seated, he looked at Wang Kui and "asked knowingly" (he thought so) and said: "Second brother, you summoned everyone today. What's the big deal?"
After he finished speaking, everyone in the room turned their attention to Wang Kui, but each of them actually had a guess in their mind, the same guess as Wang Bing!
Wang Kui paused, then stood up and said, "I'd like to trouble all my brothers to come here today because I want you all to help me make the decision on something!"
Surprisingly, Wang Kui today was not as aggressive as before, but kept his posture very low. Everyone, including Wang Bing, was deeply surprised.
"What are you saying, second brother? We are all members of our own family. If you have any questions, just say it. Anyone who can help will definitely help!"
Wang Bing didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Kui bought in the gourd, but there still had to be a scene.
The others also echoed: "Yes! Second brother, we are all members of our own family. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Kui slowly spoke: "Actually, this matter is not difficult for my eldest brother. As all the brothers know, my Hong'er has been married for many years and still has no children. Seeing that my second wife has no children, It's time to cut off the incest, and I, as a father, see it with my eyes and feel anxious in my heart!
I want to adopt an heir from the family to Hong'er, but whose child is not a treasure. I also understand that the brothers love their grandson very much, so after thinking about it, I feel that only the second eldest son of Yu'er's family, Renyi, is the most suitable! This child made a mistake before and was imprisoned in the ancestral home. According to Yu'er's intention, he was imprisoned for a lifetime. Instead of doing this, it would be better to adopt him to Hong'er and change his face and start a new life. Anyway, as long as we old guys don't say anything, Outsiders won’t know either! Brother, what do you think? "
