Dudu... The knock on the door sounded again, and the eunuch inserted another note outside. Li Zhu and his son couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes blank, and it turned out to be Zhang Ye asking to see him.
It was almost late at night, so how could he take the initiative to knock on the palace door to ask for an audience when he had nothing to do? Didn't he know how many eyes were watching from outside? How could he be so careless at this sensitive juncture without fear of exposing his identity?
What does he want to do? Li Zhu was pacing in the room
Li Hao lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while: "They are always cautious in their actions. This time they took the risk to ask for a meeting, maybe there is an urgent matter."
Li Yan was convinced, but once he was allowed in, if he was followed or taken away when leaving the palace, his identity would be revealed and he would be hurt!
It's just something that I can think of. With the caution of the Ming Ting Jinyi Guards spies, how could I not think of it? It seems that there must be important information, otherwise they would not take the risk to come.
As for whether it was Keel Da who was fishing, Li Zhu firmly denied it. He had all the eyes and ears of Keel Da's every move being monitored by him, and they had not discovered the existence of Zhang Ye and others at all.

So the father and son struggled for a while and asked the confidant eunuch to welcome the person in.
Zhang Ye did not come alone, but five of them.
What surprised Li Zhu and his son was that he did not bring any important intelligence or news. He only said that he was being watched. And when he said this, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made Li Zhu feel a little embarrassed.
As a member of the Jinyiwei family, he was more cautious when performing missions in a foreign country. With Liu Shichang's secret assistance, he really couldn't hide any disturbance. That day, a man with a big body was secretly following him and was detected by him. Although Li Zhu was highly skilled, he had eyes and ears all over the place. But his people were also discovered by Zhang Ye.
Why, this guy didn't come here to ask for a crime, right?
If I risked coming here for this little thing, I would be angry. In fact, Li Shu was already angry in his heart, but he still pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him: "Tatars?"
"I don't know who they are, but obviously our whereabouts have been exposed. In order not to get in touch with the king and the crown prince, we decided to escape temporarily. We came here to say goodbye. If you have anything, you can contact shopkeeper Liu." Zhang Ye didn't say anything. Damn it, Li Zhu started to scold her in her heart. Did your mother take such a big risk just to tell me this? Why do I feel that you are not afraid of incriminating me, but you are afraid that you will not incriminate me. If you go out, if someone catches you..."
"You are such a fool..." Before Li Zhu got angry, Li Hao stamped his feet angrily: "You know you are being targeted, but you still... in case you are..."
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I couldn't help but want to curse, but Zhang Ye laughed again: "I looked carefully when I came, and no one was following me, but just in case, I would like to ask the king to borrow a few people to lead the way. Prepare".
Hey young man, this makes Li Zhu angry. What are you talking about? You could just run away secretly or leave a message, but if you insist on knocking on my door, it’s okay to knock on the door. You still have five people knocking on it. , if you want to find someone to lead the way, you can obviously find someone from Liu Shichang, but if you have to find my people, you must have deliberately come to create trouble for me. If your own people had been killed long ago, he didn't dare to kill these people. He couldn't kill him, but he couldn't hide in the palace. Now he was afraid of being watched when he went out, so he asked Zhang Ye and others to disguise themselves as others and sneak out of the palace at dawn so that they would not be easily discovered.
But Zhang Ye said that it was not too late and that everyone would be safe if he left early. Li Jie's strong persuasion was to no avail, so he had no choice but to agree. He then summoned four close guards to dress up and fall from the city wall at night.
The night was deep and the wind was strong and cold.
Two dark figures were lying on the roof of a private house outside Jinhumen, complaining from time to time: "It's so late, they won't come out."
"It's not safe, but the superiors said they should keep a close eye on them. They came out of the North Korean Prime Minister's house and went straight to the palace. They were obviously planning something big."
"If you ask me, I should have held the person down just now. A beating would have cleared everything up..."
"It can't be that simple. If you think about it, if they just conveyed some message, they only need one person to quietly pass by, or just put a note or something. There will definitely not be so many people entering the palace, it would be too much. It’s swaggering”.
"So what do you think they are doing?"
"I think it should be escorting someone into or out of the palace!"
"Then who do you think they are escorting?"
"Nine times out of ten, Mingren's detailed work is either the Joseon minister who was abolished by the regent and is no longer allowed to be used. Anyway, the Joseon king has been dishonest recently..."
While he was talking nonsense, he suddenly saw a dark figure running towards him, whispering: "Come out, come out..."
Ah, two black figures climbed up and jumped from the roof: "I didn't see it. Could it be that they came from Dunhua Gate?"
The visitor waved his hand: "No, no, no, they came down from the west city wall, Hu Yazi told them to come over and ask someone to catch them."
"You're so damn cunning. You actually climbed over the wall and came out. How many people came out and you still had to run around to scare them? The seven at Huyazi's side are not enough!"
"Nine of them came out and went west."
"Nine? Damn, five went in and nine came out. That's three more people. There must be goods. Let's catch them!" The black shadow waved his hand and ran west. The man behind him cursed: "You damn You know how to count? There are five more people!"
"Don't be embarrassed, you two bastards. There are four more people." The visitor cursed and ran over. The black figure who spoke earlier did not feel embarrassed and cursed: "There are more people anyway. If there are more people, the goods will be shipped." "As he waved, six or seven more people came out of the dark corner.
"Aren't there mountains to the west? Are they running into the mountains in the middle of the night?"
"Hu Yazi guessed that they were worried about being followed and deliberately went around the mountains."
"Then let's just follow them and wait directly outside the North Korean Prime Minister's door. When they arrive, just click the button!"
"That won't work. There's too much movement, and what if they don't go back..."
The mountain to the west of Changdeokgung Palace is Bukaksan Mountain. Because Changdeokgung Palace is at the eastern foot of Bukaksan Mountain, the royal palace is accustomed to call it Xishan Mountain. The mountain is not high, but the terrain is complex, with ravines, rocks, and vegetation. This is a dark place. It's really hard to find someone when you get in there.
But the problem is, the guys who climbed over the wall from the palace were still carrying a lantern. Maybe they couldn't see the road themselves. Maybe they thought they had tampered with the lantern so that others wouldn't be able to see it if they were far away. .
I don’t know if others can see it, but Hu Yazi can see it clearly. At this time, he is smiling, cursing these stupid Koreans in his heart, thinking that they are unaware of the ghosts, and thinking that they are counter-reconnaissance. They are very capable, but they are not like mantises stalking cicadas or oriole behind them. Their tricks have long been seen through by themselves. They have been staring at Jinliu Mansion all the way to the palace and back here, but they have not noticed!
But for the sake of safety, Hu Yazi did not rush in, because the opponent had a large number of people, and they also had guys with them. Although he was sure of overturning these people, he was afraid that someone would escape under the cover of night.
To put it bluntly, if it had been daytime, he would have taken action long ago!
So he has to wait for help and surround them. No one can escape, he wants to catch them all.
