In the lobby on the first floor of "Donglai Inn", Wang Qi'an and the other three chose to sit down at a table by the window facing the street.
"Although my martial arts skills are average, I, Ji Wurui, firmly believe in my ability to judge people. Fortunately, Brother Wang showed up in time today, otherwise our lives would have been in danger." Just after surviving the disaster, Miss Yanyu was safe again. Ji Wurui seemed to be in a happy mood and said happily .
"I'm here for the first time today, and I encountered a lot of surprises, so I don't dare to believe Brother Ji's words easily, and I ask for your forgiveness." Wang Qi'an said a little embarrassed after hearing what Ji Wurui said.
"Teng Hui would also like to thank Mr. Wang for saving his life. If I can be of use in the future, please do as you please." Fu Tenghui clasped his fists and said gratefully.
"Brother Fu is the descendant of the Xuandao Sect on Yazhou Island in the South China Sea. I'm the one who caused me trouble today. I'm extremely sad." Ji Wurui apologized to Fu Tenghui.
"Young Master Ji has shown great kindness to the Xuan Dao Sect. I should have tried my best to help him with his affairs. Today I almost failed the master's request. It's because Teng Hui feels guilty." Fu Tenghui said hurriedly.
"Xuan Daomen?" Wang Qi'an remembered that Cui Shicong, the deputy general of the Longxiang Army, was a descendant of his sect. After Dajiang was attacked, he was afraid that he and his brothers were in danger, and his expression darkened when he thought of this.
"Brother Wang, what are you worried about?" Ji Wurui noticed the change in Wang Qi'an's expression and asked with concern.
Wang Qian'an thought that he could not reveal his true identity at this moment, so he excused himself: "Seeing the strength of Prince Xing's Mansion makes me feel even more powerless."
"Is it possible that Brother Wang's visit to Prince Xing's Mansion is related to Prince Wending's Mansion? Is it also because of the Buddha's bones?" Ji Wurui asked.
After experiencing the battle at Yanyu Tower, and knowing that Fu Tenghui and Master Cui were from the same sect, Wang Qi'an felt that there was no need to hide the two of them anymore. Moreover, without explaining the purpose of their visit, it might be difficult to rely on Ji Wurui's intelligence network. So he roughly told the Taipingguan murder case and the purpose of his trip.
"Although Master Kongfa's suspicion is reasonable, there are so many experts in Wen Ding Prince's Palace. As you can see today, Xie Xian and Mou Weiran alone are already difficult to deal with. What's more, there are legendary figures like Xiaoyao Banxian sitting in charge. Wanting to enter the mansion to spy is like a moth flying into a flame. If you are not careful, your life will be hard to save. Brother Wang, please don’t rush for a while. Let me wait for the younger brother to think of a solution first." I heard that Wang Qi’an’s plan was to visit Prince Wending’s mansion at night to find Xuan Xuan. As soon as he fell, Ji Wurui couldn't help but hurriedly dissuade him.
"Prince Xing's Mansion seems to be peaceful at the moment, but in fact there is a turmoil behind the scenes. Emperor Liu Hongchang of the Southern Han Dynasty ignores the government affairs and enjoys himself in the harem all day long. He also has a hobby, which is to watch wrestling and wrestling, which makes the sycophants in the court come from all over the country. The masters of this skill were recruited and offered to the imperial palace. The military and political power in the DPRK was basically controlled by the three forces of King Wen Ding Liu Hongbi, King Wu Jing Liu Hongxi, and King Xun Liu Honggao. At present, the power of the Wen Ding Palace is the most powerful, and the ministers in the DPRK and the DPRK have many followers, and they have been showing off in recent times. The means to win over people's hearts and secretly expand his strength show his ambition. It is said that last year Liu Hongbi sent people to the southern Tianzhu Kingdom, and by some unknown means, he was able to persuade him to offer a finger bone of Sakyamuni to the Southern Han Dynasty. This move This greatly boosted King Wen Ding's reputation in Buddhism. You must know that the Southern Han Dynasty has always worshiped Buddhism and believed in Taoism, and the sect's power is deeply rooted. If the Buddha's bones can be smoothly welcomed into the imperial city, the impact cannot be underestimated. Liao Zhongxin has frequently recruited martial arts masters on behalf of the palace in the past six months, fearing that It is also to prepare for this year's Buddha Bathing Festival." Ji Wurui is indeed specialized in intelligence trading, and he is well aware of the current situation in Prince Xing's Mansion.
Although Wang Qi'an occasionally heard his father and the generals talk about the general situation of the world during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he paid more attention to the situation in the north and knew little about the Southern Han Dynasty in the remote Lingnan. Listening to Ji Wu Rui talk about it now, I couldn't help but listen attentively.
"Another variable in the Southern Han Dynasty is Liu Hongxi, the King of Wujing. His relationship with Liu Hongbi is not harmonious. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years in the court. Although he behaves in a low-key manner on the surface, he secretly cultivates his own interests. In recent days, he has even deliberately roped in his brother Shao Wang Liu Hongya. The two seem to have reached some kind of combination of interests, and their intentions are unpredictable." Ji Wurui paused and continued.
"In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the two-character kings were given the title of county kings, and the one-character kings were called princes. The princes were always higher in rank and more powerful than the county kings. Why, as Brother Ji said, the two kings of Wen Ding, Wu Jing and King Xun were more powerful than King Xun and King Shao?" Wang Qi'an was doubtful. Knot, couldn't help but interjected.
"This starts with Liu Hongchang. Our current emperor always likes to go against the grain, and titles are one of them. We designated the two kings of Wu Jing as princes and the two kings of Xunshao as county kings. This is exactly the opposite of the northern countries." Ji Wurui said with a smile.
"That's it." Wang Qi'an said suddenly.
"Is Liu Hongya secretly supporting the Lingnan Gang? I'm a little surprised to hear you say that." Wang Qian then told the story of how the Lingnan Gang, the "enchanting swordsman" Chu Lianyao and the left guardian of Tianshu Palace Shen Ruiting surrounded and intercepted Cheng Ziyan. .
"Tianshu Palace?" Ji Wurui glanced at Fu Tenghui meaningfully.
"The Tianshu Palace and our Xuandao Sect are inseparable enemies in the Nanhai area, but they have been evenly matched for many years, and no one can do anything to the other. According to what the prince said, they are most likely to have taken refuge in the Wending Palace. If that is the case , maybe they will use the power of the palace to deal with us. It seems that I have to have someone notify the master as soon as possible so that we can discuss countermeasures." Fu Tenghui couldn't help but worry when he heard that Shen Ruiting had been in and out of Wending's palace.
"Brother Fu's concerns are justified. This matter is not impossible!" Ji Wurui nodded.
"But the strange thing is that Chu Lianyao's helping Liang Feng just confirmed the news that brothers Liu Hongxi and Liu Hongya were in unity. If the Shu Palace had chosen to defect to Liu Hongbi that day, how could Shen Ruiting participate in the Lingnan Gang supported by Liu Hongya?" Ji Wurui He frowned slightly and said a little doubtfully.
"Is it possible that the person Tianshu Palace really wants to serve is not Liu Hongbi?" Wang Qi'an remembered the change in Shen Ruiting's expression before and after he left Wedding Palace.
"In any case, Tianshu Palace must have an ulterior motive for being so actively involved in this matter. If they gain power, our Xuandao Sect will be the first to be dealt with." Fu Tenghui expressed concern again.
"The Buddha Bathing Festival is approaching, and more and more strange people have appeared in Prince Xing's Mansion recently. I am afraid that some people are already ready to make a move. The situation here may be even more turbulent. I don't know how many people will be involved. Entering the dispute." Ji Wurui said with a worried look on his face.
"Brother Ji seems to have something on his mind?" Wang Qi'an couldn't help but ask after hearing the change in Ji Wurui's tone.
"The situation in the north is unstable, and the land south of Lingnan has always been ignored. It has no intention of intervening in the situation of the Southern Han Dynasty, so it can be ignored for the time being. However, Southern Wu, Dongyue, Western Shu, and the Chu and Fujian countries bordering the Southern Han Dynasty , I am afraid that the Southern Han Dynasty will not sit idly by and ignore the matter of welcoming the Buddha's bones. If they cannot openly interfere, they will secretly wait for the opportunity. Zhang Yuxian, who newly occupied Qianzhou, is originally from the Buddhist lineage, and will not allow Buddhist sacred objects to settle in Xingxing. The palace, that would shake the foundation of his followers. In addition, there are some local separatist forces, such as Annan who rebelled against the Han and established themselves, and there is no guarantee that they will not come to take advantage of the excitement. I was surprised that in the past, the palace of Wending tried to hide its strength, but today Liao Zhongxin is uncharacteristically, Bringing many masters from the palace, especially the 'Xiaoyao Half Immortal' Xu Changshan to show up openly, I'm afraid there is a hidden intention to warn all the political forces." Ji Wurui said.
"Brother Wang may understand why I want to talk at length about the situation at hand. If the Taipingguan massacre was really Liu Hongbi's behind-the-scenes instruction, the viewer is most likely to be informed about a secret place in the palace. With our current strength, we can sneak into the palace to save people. There is no way It is different from the earthworms shaking the trees or the eggs hitting the rocks. There is still less than a month before the Buddha Bathing Festival. As my analysis is correct, when Liu Hongbi is busy maintaining the overall situation and dealing with all forces, and the house is empty, we can take advantage of the opportunity. Brother Wang Do you think so?" Ji Wurui said nothing, but she was still worried that Wang Qi'an did not understand the current situation, acted recklessly, and even lost his life.
"I'm not a reckless person, brother Ji, you can rest assured." Of course Wang Qi'an understood Ji Wurui's good intentions, but saving people was like putting out fires, so how could he keep waiting.
"It would be great if there was an architectural diagram of the interior layout of Prince Wen Ding's Mansion." Wang Qi'an suddenly said.
"Yes, maybe you can try your luck at a house!" Ji Wurui suddenly thought of something and said happily.
"Li Zhun, a talented and famous craftsman of the Southern Han Dynasty, the youngest Minister of the Sixth Ministry, and Minister of Industry, Li Zhun, built most of the royal and noble residences in Prince Xing's Mansion. Maybe you can find the construction plan of Prince Xing's Mansion in his mansion. "Ji Wurui continued.
