The ancestral residence of the Wang family, main hall.
Wang Bing, Wang Yu, Princess Tong'an and the third, fourth and fifth elders of the Wang family are all sitting in the main hall. At this time in the past, they must have gone back to their rooms to rest, but today, Wang Kui's sudden escape will The entire Wang family has been brought to the edge of life and death. If you are not careful, the Wang family may enter a situation of eternal destruction. Therefore, tonight, all the core members of the Wang family, including Wang Bing, stayed in the main hall waiting for news from Wang Chengwu. No one left. The atmosphere in the main hall was also very depressing. The maids and servants standing nearby did not even dare to express their anger. At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler walked in and whispered in Wang Yu's ear:
"Master, the people sent to Tongfu Inn are back!"
"Oh~? Let Chengwu come in quickly!"
After hearing this, Wang Yu, who had a faint look of fatigue on his face, suddenly became energetic. He quickly sat up straight and said to the housekeeper.
His words were so loud that everyone in the main hall heard them. Wang Bing, Princess Tong'an and the other three royal elders all turned their eyes towards Wang Yu. The butler's face A little embarrassed, he first bowed his hands to everyone in the room, and then said:
"Sir, Commander Wang has not come back, and only half of those who went have come back!"
"Only half came back? What's going on? Could it be that Wang Chengwu was ambushed at Tongfu Inn~?"
Wang Yu frowned and asked subconsciously.
He knew that Wang Chengwu brought more than 200 Wang family secret guards to Tongfu Inn to investigate the situation, but now only half of them came back. This means that the other half may have encountered an accident, and more than 100 Wang family secret guards could When something unexpected happened to the secret guard, it was only possible that a powerful force ambush Wang Chengwu in the inn in advance.
The housekeeper quickly shook his head and said: "No! No! This mission went well. Commander Wang took the other half of his troops to perform other tasks. People who came back said that they had an unexpected surprise this time and they caught one. An incredible person!"
"Oh? We caught an amazing person? Quick! Let someone come in and tell us what's going on?"
Hearing this, Wang Yu's eyes lit up, and the sadness on his face was instantly wiped away, replaced by a deep surprise.
Not only him, but the rest of the people in the main hall also secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the old housekeeper's words.
"Yes! Master!"
The old housekeeper responded, then walked to the door, opened the door, and shouted outside, "Wang Quan, come in~!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room heard a rush of footsteps, getting closer and closer. Soon, a plain-looking young man in smart clothes walked in. He clasped his fists and saluted everyone in the room:
"My subordinates have met the head of the family, the princess, the first elder and the third elder..."
"At this time, there is no need to be polite, please tell me who you caught in Tongfu Inn~?"
Before Wang Quan finished his salute, Wang Bing, who was sitting at the top, became a little impatient, oh, or rather impatiently, waved his hand and interrupted.
"Yes! Great Elder!"
Wang Quan bowed to accept the order, then stopped talking nonsense and began to tell: "Half an hour ago, Commander Wang led us to surround Tongfu Inn. We originally wanted to arrest the innkeeper and the owner, but we never expected that we would meet them there. Two groups of people are fighting..."
Under the watchful eyes of senior members of the Wang family, Wang Quan recounted exactly what happened to his group at Tongfu Inn.
"... After we captured Zhao Deyan, Commander Wang led a hundred people to escort General Li and escorted Zhao Deyan to the Governor's Mansion, and then ordered us to report back to the family first!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Quan finally finished telling all about the situation he encountered at the inn. In the main hall, Wang Bing, Wang Yu, Princess Tong'an and others all had their faces flushed with excitement. After Wang Quan finished speaking, Wang Bingyi He patted the table and said excitedly:
"Okay! Okay! Okay! The Wang family is finally saved!"
Previously, Wang Bing instructed Wang Yu to send people to Tongfu Inn to investigate. The main purpose was to capture Sun Dafu or Gao Yong, the owner of Tongfu Inn. The second was to see if Wang Li and others could Hiding in Tongfu Inn, no matter which of these two goals is achieved, there is a chance to alleviate the current crisis of the Wang family. But what Wang Bing, Wang Yu and other senior executives of the Wang family never expected was that the Wang family secret guards' trip to the inn would actually bring them such a big surprise - they directly captured Zhao Deyan, the leader of the Turkic spies!
Regarding Zhao Deyan's identity, Duguxin came to the door in person at dusk and told Wang Yu about the letter Han Lizheng brought. In the evening, Wang Bing summoned the senior officials of the Wang family to discuss matters, and Wang Yu also told Wang Yu about Zhao Deyan. come out. Therefore, when they heard that Wang Chengwu had captured Zhao Deyan, all the senior figures of the Wang family in the hall were all smiling. The cloud of death hanging over the Wang family had finally dissipated!
"Haha! Brother is right! Although Cheng Wu failed to find the whereabouts of the second child in Tongfu Inn, catching Zhao Deyan is undoubtedly a greater credit. Even if the Holy Spirit holds the second child responsible for his crimes afterwards, he will I would like to take this credit into account, but please be accommodating to our Wang family!"
The tense old face of the third elder finally relaxed at this moment. He stroked his short beard and laughed.
Hearing this, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder couldn't help but smile knowingly.
The atmosphere in the main hall finally became lively and relaxed.
Wang Yu suddenly remembered something at this time. He frowned slightly and whispered to himself: "Baiqi actually appeared in Taiyuan City at this time, and it was led by Li Junxian himself. It seems that the Holy One has no regard for Taiyuan." It’s been planned for a long time! I just don’t know when Baiqi entered the city!”
There is one sentence that Wang Yu did not say clearly, that is, Li Er actually asked Li Junxian to lurk in Taiyuan City with Baiqi. This shows that Li Er attaches great importance to Li Tai, the prince. Li Tai His divine favor is no less impressive than that of Li Chengqian! In the future, when it comes to competing for the position of crown prince, the Wang family will have to think hard!
Of course, Li Er is still young and strong, so these are long-term concerns, not short-term worries!
The top priority right now is...
"Master, it's not good! There are a lot of fires in the direction of the post house in the west of the city! My subordinates have sent people to investigate!"
At this moment, a guard hurried in and hugged Wang Yu.
The atmosphere in the main hall, which had become relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
"What~? Are you sure it's the direction of the inn?"
Wang Yu suddenly stood up and said with a look of shock and anger.
By the way, the Wang family's secret guards had just solved the Wang family's crisis by catching Zhao Deyan, and then someone suddenly came to report that there was an emergency in the direction of the post house. This was really a wave of things happening again and again!
