Invincible son

Chapter 787 786 [Thirteen] [Thirteen]

When Pei Yue left the shore of Danxia Lake, there were more than one pair of eyes staring at him from a distance in the vast night.

Qian Bing's feeling was not wrong, someone was indeed spying on them secretly.Although this man in his 30s looks too ordinary on the surface, he has five senses that are different from ordinary people, and he is born with the ability to foresee danger. This is the reason why he can become the number one assassin in Taishitai Pavilion.

After Pei Yue returned to his residence, the soldiers began to set up secret whistles around the courtyard, and a vigorous figure disappeared into the night.

After about a stick of incense, this figure as swift as the wind came to a secret and dark corner in the forest.

There are more than 20 martial arts masters hidden here. They are all from Liang, and their identities are different. The abbot of the temple.

"Dianxiong, have you confirmed the residence of Marquis Zhongshan?" asked the old man over fifty in the crowd.

The person in charge of the investigation was the 30-year-old Norixiong, and this old man was obviously in charge of the overall situation.

Dianxiong nodded and said: "It has been confirmed, there will be no mistakes."

The old man looked around and said, "Everyone, recharge your batteries for the time being, we will start before dawn."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the old man asked Dianxiong again, "Did you find Lao Jiang along the way?"

Dianxiong shook his head, his expression changed just as he was about to speak, signaling for everyone to be silent, then he raised his hand and pointed to the north.

"it's me."

Before these masters were ready to attack, a flat voice sounded not far away.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, it's Young Master Lan."

Then he saw a tall and tall man approaching, he was Lan Zhiqiu, the nephew of Liang Xiongwu Hou Lanyu.

Everyone saluted one after another, no matter whether they wanted it or not, they didn't dare to show any disrespect on the face, because Lan Zhiqiu represented Lan Yu, and the latter was the noble person who controlled the fate of them and their relatives.

Lan Zhiqiu looked around, frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Jiang Wanli?"

The old man hesitated and said: "Young Master, he was still there when we gathered outside Jian'an City, but on the way here, he left the brigade at some point, and now he is missing."

Lan Zhiqiu's complexion became ugly, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

According to his second uncle Lan Yu's entrustment, this Jiang Wanli is his most important assassin, and he has spent countless efforts to control the big killer specially used to deal with Pei Yue.This person's swordsmanship is superb, especially that one-hit kill and burn everything. As long as a suitable opportunity is created for him, Pei Yue will undoubtedly die.

Just when Lan Zhiqiu was about to get angry, Jiang Wanli's voice suddenly sounded not far away: "I'm here."

Everyone was shocked, Dianxiong looked at the man who appeared in front of him like a ghost, and asked nervously, "Lao Jiang, where did you go?"

Jiang Wanli said indifferently: "I have been following you all the time, because I am not sure if there are any traitors among you, so I had to observe secretly."

Lan Zhiqiu forcibly suppressed his anger, and asked in a deep voice, "Then have you found the traitor?"

Jiang Wanli stood a foot away from him, holding a long sword in his arms, and said calmly, "Not yet."

Lan Zhiqiu looked at this top swordsman who looked ordinary and looked like a farmer, although he understood that this kind of person had a weird personality and he had to put the overall situation first, he still couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said to the old man: "You can't do anything tonight. "

The old man said anxiously: "My lord, the second half of the night is the best time."

Lan Zhiqiu said with a solemn expression: "The people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty fell into Pei Yue's trap and left hundreds of corpses by the Danxia Lake. This is what I saw with my own eyes, which shows that Pei Yue will definitely be on strict defense tonight. You guys Rushing over at this time will only be counted against him again. But as long as he can spend the night safely, this person will definitely relax his vigilance."

The old man asked blankly: "Then according to your opinion, when should we make a move?"

Lan Zhiqiu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course it's when he feels safe and completely puts down his guard."

He smiled and told about his second set of plans, and everyone's eyes lit up after listening.

Only Jiang Wanli looked at Lan Zhiqiu without saying a word, his eyes as calm as water.

……

Before Dawn.

Jian'an City, the Imperial Palace.

Today is not the time for the court meeting, so the release of the key at the palace gate will be at the beginning of Maoshi (six o'clock in the morning).

Now there is still more than half an hour before the time to release the key. According to the regulations, the palace gate cannot be opened, but after the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived with the oral order of Emperor Qingyuan, the gatekeeper dared not argue and ordered the imperial army to open the palace gate.

Then ten court guards quickly left the palace and ran towards the direction where the important ministers' mansions gathered.

Watching this scene, the gatekeeper couldn't help becoming nervous. When the court guards came outside the palace around a carriage, and the chief minister of the cabinet Xu Huiyan got off the carriage, he felt more and more difficult to breathe.

The eunuch stepped forward and saluted hurriedly: "Master Chief Assistant, Your Majesty is waiting in the side hall of Mingde Hall."

Xu Huiyan nodded and said, "Please lead the way."

Of course he knew where the Mingde Palace was, and he was just following the rules. After all, it was extremely unusual for His Majesty the Emperor to suddenly call him into the palace at this time.

When he came to the side hall of Mingde Hall, Emperor Qingyuan looked up at the chief minister of the cabinet, and said softly: "Come here, give me a seat."

Xu Huiyan sat down after thanking him, and looked at Emperor Qingyuan's face calmly.Earlier, he received a secret report from Yuan Yan, and originally planned to enter the palace to report after dawn, but he did not expect the emperor to call him into the palace so abnormally and eagerly, which showed that what happened in Donglin was more serious than what Yuan Yan said. Even more serious.

Sure enough, Emperor Qingyuan picked up a memorial from the imperial case and handed it to the eunuch standing beside him. The latter held the memorial in both hands and came to Xu Huiyan with small steps and handed the memorial to him.

Emperor Qing Yuan said: "This is the urgent report just sent by Shangguan Ding, you should read it first."

Xu Huiyan took the memorial, looked at it for a few times, and immediately changed his expression. After his thoughts changed, he said solemnly and resolutely: "Your Majesty, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhen Guogong! Fang Yunhu was working in Beiliang before, and he has a lot of hatred with Pei Yue Shen, this time it was obviously revenge due to personal grievances."

Emperor Qingyuan sighed softly: "Why has nothing to do with Duke Zhen?"

Xu Huiyan said in a deep voice: "If Lord Zhen Guo instructed him to do this, the plot would definitely not be so random and rough, and Pei Yue would definitely have no reason to survive."

Emperor Qingyuan was silent for a moment, as if he approved of Shoufu's analysis, but he said with a headache, "But Liang people won't believe it."

Xu Huiyan said calmly: "Pei Yue was only slightly injured, but Fang Yunhu died in his hands. I think there must be something wrong with this matter. Shangguan Ding's urgent report did not write in detail enough, but even if it was Fang Yunhu who planned it alone, he did not know what to do. With hundreds of elites, how can Pei Yue predict the future and arrange traps and ambushes in advance?"

Emperor Qingyuan nodded slightly, and pondered: "I have sent Xia Fei to transfer a thousand soldiers from the Wude Camp to Donglin to protect Pei Yue and return to the capital after sunrise. As for Duke Zhen, I have no choice but to let Marquis Jubei take a hard trip." , go to Chengbei Daying and tell the truth about this matter, we must appease Zhen Guogong and let him focus on the overall situation."

Xu Huiyan thought for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Qing Yuan said helplessly: "This Liang man is really a troublemaker, no matter where he goes, he can cause trouble. Forget it, I will let Shangguan Ding arrange Qinghe's faraway marriage as soon as possible, and send him back as soon as possible, so as not to cause him to continue to cause trouble. "

Xu Huiyan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I believe that Duke Zhen can calm down. After all, it was Fang Yunhu who plotted against Beiliang's envoy first. Regardless of whether the other party was prepared or not, we can only suffer from being dumb. The problem is that Pei Yue may not be willing to Let it go, most of them will use this matter as an excuse."

Emperor Qingyuan remembered Pei Yue's fraudulent injury, and his face was a little ugly. He looked at Xu Huiyan and said, "Leave this matter to Ai Qing."

Xu Huiyan stood up and responded, "I accept the order."

The monarch and his ministers discussed for a long time before Xu Huiyan left the palace with his exhausted body.

The morning light is faint in the sky, the autumn is gradually dyed, and the first frost is appearing.
