In an inconspicuous mountain forest on the outskirts of Beijing, there were people coming in and out of a bamboo house.
Behind the desk in the room, a man in his late forties was painting with his hands behind his hands.
An isolated city stands alone on the drawing paper, with dead leaves swirling and dark clouds approaching urgently.
He added a few strokes slowly, making the light and shadow in the painting more vivid and three-dimensional.
There are no human figures, thunder and lightning, or strong winds in the painting, but when the scroll is unfolded, the oppression, shock, and suffocation caused by the sudden rain, strong winds, lightning and thunder, and the fierce fighting between the two armies hit the face.
"Mr. Lang!"
The visitor's excited call interrupted the man who was immersed in the painting. He blinked and raised his head.
He turned out to be an elegant and handsome man with a beautiful face!
"Oh? But there is news from Kyoto?" The beautiful man put down his pen with great interest, smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
"Mr. Lang, as you expected, the Kyoto Internal Guards and the City Patrol Division discovered the secret passage in the old house! Haha, let them find it!"
There was some complacency in Mei Langjun's eyes, but he warned his subordinates not to take it lightly: "It's a bit of luck to discover that place so early! However, it's still too young! Let them find it! Something big will happen soon, if you can By luring them out of Kyoto, we can clear the way for the Lord, and a great success will be achieved!"
"Mr. Lang has a clever plan!"
Just as the subordinate praised him, he heard another movement outside the door. The two of them looked over at the same time and saw a veiled girl pushing the door open.
"Aunt Yan." Mei Langjun stood up immediately and stepped forward to greet her.
Aunt Yan nodded: "Good morning, Mr. Lu."
"Auntie, please take a seat." Seeing that the other party was humble, Mr. Meilang became more and more polite.
"Jun Lu, let's stop chatting. I just want to ask you, are the matters arranged by the master okay?"
"Don't worry, aunt, everything is going according to plan." As he said this, the handsome man named Lu looked at his subordinates who had already retreated to the side and stood with their heads bowed. "Tell aunt the details of the situation!"
When Aunt Yan heard the end, satisfaction flashed in her eyes and she praised her repeatedly.
Seeing this, the beautiful man named Lu asked with concern: "Auntie, there are still four armies stationed outside Beijing. I wonder if... they will disturb the master's plan? Is there any place for Lu to serve you now?" "
Aunt Yan smiled and waved her hand: "My Lord has already made arrangements, so Mr. Lu doesn't need to worry."
Thinking that her master valued this person very much, Aunt Yan could not help but say a few more words: "If there is chaos over there, there will be no leader here in Kyoto, and even the strong soldiers and horses of the four armies will be unable to resist the general trend.
As long as the new emperor comes from the Chu royal family, can the soldiers who protect Jiang Chu's country still fight hard? If they really attack Kyoto regardless of the consequences, they will not be loyal to the king, but rebel traitors! By then, without the Lord taking action, the civil servants and nobles in the court will be unable to sit still! "
Aunt Yan spoke with confidence, and Mr. Lu's heart was filled with excitement when he heard it.
"Auntie, my master, Shengming Zhuzhao, has only passed through the Wutang clan of the Han Dynasty, why not take a step further? Why bother making wedding clothes for others?"
"The master has his own rules for doing things..." Aunt Yan wanted to scold her, but suddenly remembered her former master's instructions, so she quickly softened her voice, "Those people are the gentlemen after all, and it is easier for them to act, so... Let them occupy their seats first! The master must raise his heirs properly so that he can plan for the future."
Saying this, Aunt Yan looked at Mr. Lu with a smile: "You also know that the master is most proud of Sanniang and Liulang. It's just that the two young masters are too young and must be taught by the master."
When he heard about the two children, excitement flashed in the eyes of the handsome man named Lu: "The master is still considerate."
Aunt Yan raised the corners of her mouth under her veil and slowly stood up from her seat:
"Okay, Mr. Lu, I have to go back and resume my life! Before I come, the master told me to tell you that although the scenery here is beautiful, you should not be greedy; you can just look far away from here, and do not get close. Ex. When Sanniang Liulang grows up, I will ask you to teach me."
"Lu will obey the Lord's order!"
…
"Sister Yuan!" A disgraced Anyu emerged from the tunnel.
Sheng Yuan sat in front of him holding the book and waited for a long time. When she looked up, she saw his big white teeth and waved funnyly: "How is it? Did you notice it again?!"
"This tunnel leads outside Kyoto. The exit is in the bamboo forest three miles southeast of the post road."
Anyu patted her hair and took the wet handkerchief from Chengdong.
He stayed far away from Shengyuan and talked about the details while wiping his face.
Speaking of which, he was a little disappointed with today's action: "The two captains of the Supervision Team were fully prepared. Who would have thought that the two passages were very simple. Not only did they not have any traps, but they could not be found. There should be traces of action.”
"Why didn't they come back?" Sheng Yuan thought that this operation was still fruitful.
"I asked them to arrange for men and horses to ambush near the bamboo forest. As long as the men and horses go into the tunnel, they will be pinned down in the suburbs in advance!"
"Let them come back!" Sheng Yuan thought for a while and suggested that Anyu withdraw his troops.
Although Anyu was puzzled, he sent the little falcon and the heavy brown fly to deliver the message first.
"We brought the team here without any cover-up. If the other party is interested, they may not be able to know what is going on in the house.
If this place was really so important to them, how could they not set up sentries at two entrances and exits on the outskirts? If there is a secret sentinel, then... I'm afraid that when the people from the supervision team emerge from the tunnel, they will find out. "
"!!!" Anyu slapped his head suddenly and cried out in annoyance, "How come I didn't think of such a simple reasoning!"
Sheng Yuan: "..." Forget it, don't argue with fools!
"Otherwise, let's take advantage of the situation and withdraw from here first, and then send people to come secretly, guarding the entrances and exits of these two passages, and give them a trap!"
Anyu waved his hand and looked at Shengyuan expectantly.
"Other than occupying troops, your method is quite good!"
"Is that so..." Anyu thought for a while and asked Shengyuan humbly, "Do you have a good idea?"
"I can't tell you a good way." Sheng Yuan closed the book and looked in the direction of the two passages, "I just want you to use gunpowder to blow up the passage, then fill and seal all the entrances and exits inside and outside, and finally seal your The Consulate General’s office is temporarily located here.”
"!!!" Hearing this, Anyu had to marvel at Shengyuan's idea.
"As for the direct grandson of the Lu family, I'm afraid he insists that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall."
Although Sheng Yuan described the portrait of the other party based on the oral description of the current Mrs. An Guogong, and the original Mrs. An also said that it was very similar, the prerequisite for finding the other party was that the other party appeared!
"What exactly do they want to do?" Sheng Yuan couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.
The direct grandson of the Lu family has appeared. Does Empress Lu know about it?
Is he really just showing up in Kyoto to establish contact with Duke Anguo?
"Brother Yu!" Sheng Yuan's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and without saying a word, she pulled Anyu out, "Check with the commanders of the Internal Guards and the City Patrol Department, and quickly write down the details of the situation in Kyoto. Send it secretly to the Holy Driver!"
"Ah? Okay! I'll go right away!" Although Anyu was puzzled, seeing Shengyuan's request, he nodded seriously and promised to do it immediately.
