"Where are Mr. Mo Chui and the others?"
Returning to the post house in the city, Li Tai saw Dugu Feiying looking around in front of the post house. He was eager to tell Mo Chui and others about the location of the telegraph relay station, so he did not take Dugu Feiying's anomaly into consideration. He asked eagerly.
"Your Highness, brother, are you back? Mr. Mo Chui...Mr. Mo Chui and the others are packing things in the backyard!"
When Dugu Feiying saw Li Tai and others, especially when Dugu Xin came back, he immediately cheered up and replied.
In addition to the teachers and students of Yanhuang Academy and the Imperial Army led by Dugu Xin, those who settled in the post house last night also had the materials and machinery needed to build a telegraph relay station brought from Yanhuang Academy on this trip north. These things are very important in this era. But they are all priceless treasures that cannot be bought with money. In order to ensure that no one is missing, and to ensure that the purpose of their trip will not be leaked, these materials and equipment have been allocated to a separate courtyard for storage in the post house, and there are Specialized imperial troops guard the place day and night!
"Well! I, the king, will go take a look!"
Li Tai nodded in response, and after that, he walked directly towards the post house.
Dugu Xin did not follow him. Firstly, now that the entire post house was arranged by him, he did not need to worry about Li Tai's safety in the post house. Secondly, Dugu Feiying clearly had something in his eyes. One thing, Dugu Xin, who has been a brother for so many years, is still easy to see!
"What's wrong?"
After Li Tai entered the post house, Dugu Xin looked at Dugu Feiying and asked lightly.
Dugu Feiying said with an anxious look on his face: "Brother, just now the Governor Wang sent news from the Wang family's ancestral residence, saying that someone discovered the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, and the Wang family has sent people to rush there!"
Dugu Xin was shocked when he heard this and said, "What? Did the Wang family find out the whereabouts of those two people?"
Dugu Feiying scratched his head and said: "Yes! Just now someone from Governor Wang came over to inform me! I...I wanted to go there just now, but I remembered that you told me not to pursue these two people earlier. My whereabouts were gone, so I didn’t go...Brother, don’t we really go over and have a look?”
After Duguxin led the army into the city yesterday, and after learning about the current situation in the city, he formulated a strategy of holding his troops aside for the time being and adapting to changes. He completely gave up on searching for the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan and concentrated all his efforts. He focused on protecting the safety of Li Tai and others, so the task of tracing the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan was left to the Wang family!
It's just that Dugu Feiying is more or less unwilling, because there are still many mysteries about Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan waiting for him to solve. If he doesn't catch these two people, he always feels that something is missing in his heart.
"The reason why I didn't let you continue to trace the whereabouts of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an before was mainly because I didn't want to distract our troops. But now that the Wang family has discovered the whereabouts of these two people, we should naturally go take a look! Maybe from We can really find some clues on these two people!”
Dugu Xin pondered for a moment and felt bad for Dugu Feiying.
Although in Dugu Xin's heart, Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan are probably just two little shrimps and not the real spy leaders, but now that the Wang family has helped them find these two people, there is no need for him to waste any more troops, and in case of an emergency These two people really know something, so he will definitely make a profit on this trip! Maybe based on the clues provided by these two people, we can follow the clues and catch the real mastermind!
"Okay, okay! Someone sent by the Wang family told me that Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan are hiding in the basement of the fifth house east of Shuoren Square in the south of the city. I will take people there right now..."
Seeing that Dugu Xin actually agreed to go check on the two criminals, Dugu Feiying suddenly said excitedly.
Dugu Xin frowned, because he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he interrupted Dugu Feiying and said: "You and the brothers stay here to protect His Highness, I will go and take a look alone!"
"Well……"
Dugu Feiying was unwilling to give in, and wanted to retort, but Dugu Xin stared back with a stern look, so he could only respond in a muffled voice: "Yes! Big brother!"
Dugu Xin nodded and asked a forbidden soldier to fetch him a mount. He rode directly towards the south of the city at high speed.
…………………………
"Commander, these two people are Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an that the master is looking for. They are hiding in the cellar in the backyard. However, when my subordinates brought people over, the owner of the house had disappeared!"
Shuoren Square in the south of Taiyuan City, the fifth house to the east, the backyard.
A thin young man in black clothes bowed and clasped his fists towards another tall man in black clothes with a round collar.
Great Commander!
This tall man in black clothes with a round collar is Wang Chengwu, the commander of the Wang family's secret guards. He is also a legendary existence among the Wang family's secret guards. He is only thirty years old and has already reached the level of a master in martial arts. This With such qualifications, he was fully capable of serving as a general of an army in the Tang Dynasty!
"Bai Qing, tell me how you discovered the two of them?"
Wang Chengwu's eyes were like lightning. He glanced at Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Chang'an, who were tied into rice dumplings with ashen faces. Then he turned his gaze back to the thin man in black in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
This Bai Qing belongs to the second branch of the Wang family's secret guard, which is the secret guard under the control of the second room. Yesterday, all the Wang family's forces mobilized to search for the suspect who could not be found for a whole day, but this Bai Qing found it easily. , Wang Chengwu couldn’t help but doubt it!
Bai Qing's eyes flashed, and he quickly lowered his head and clasped his fists and said: "Back to the Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates were patrolling Shuorenfang this morning. They saw that the door of this house was wide open, which was very unusual. So they went in to take a look and found that the house was open. There was no one there. The subordinate was about to leave when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the backyard. Then he went to the backyard to check. Unexpectedly, there was someone hiding under the cellar in the backyard. After interrogation, he learned that the two men were hiding in the cellar. You are still wanted by the head of the family all over the city, and my subordinates were worried that they would not be able to handle it alone, so they quickly asked someone to go back to the family to deliver a message to you!"
This guy's words were watertight, but Wang Chengwu glanced at him suspiciously. After a moment of silence, Wang Chengwu waved his hands to the left and right and said, "Take these two people back, and then go to the post house to check the accounting room of Chuji Iron Shop." Take them back to the ancestral home and verify their identity!"
"yes!"
Four warriors in golden armor came out and dragged Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan who were tied to the ground. At this time, Wang Chengwu waved his hand and said: "Go back to the ancestral home!"
The group of people led Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan out of the house immediately. Bai Qingzhui followed behind, with a hint of excitement and greed in his eyes. He murmured to himself: "The head of the family gathered all the strength to arrest these two people." , It proves that these two people are extremely important, and it was me, Bai Qing, who caught them. I am prosperous, I am prosperous... Haha! The reward from the head of the family will definitely not be less this time..."
In fact, the situation was not what Bai Qing said just now. Bai Qing was indeed ordered to patrol Shuorenfang in the morning, but just when he walked into the gate of Shuorenfang, an arrow pierced his face. When Bai Qing came to the door, although he had some martial arts skills, with his kung fu, he had no time to dodge the sudden arrow. When Bai Qing closed his eyes and shouted in his heart, "My life is over." "It's over", the feather arrow did not hit his head, but moved an inch, passed by his ear, and nailed deeply into the wall with a "bang"!
Bai Qing was in shock, but his "assassinator" made no other moves after shooting the feather arrow. He turned to look at the feather arrow nailed to the wall, and saw a piece of cloth on the arrow shaft. , his heart moved, and he quickly stepped forward to remove the feather arrow from the wall, opened the cloth, and saw that it read: "The person the Wang family is chasing is hidden in the basement of the fifth house to the east of Shuoren Square! "
After seeing this line of small words, Bai Qing subconsciously didn't believe it and thought it was a prank by some boring person. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. He asked which boring person could shoot an arrow into the wall. Two inches?
Thinking again, Wang Yu has mobilized the entire Wang family to search for Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan throughout Taiyuan City. If he catches these two people, he will definitely get many rewards from the family, even if he As a result, his status among the Wang family's secret guards will rise to the next level!
Thinking of this, Bai Qing put away the cloth with the words on it and quietly walked towards the fifth house to the east of Shuoren Square alone! Because he didn't want others to share the credit with him, he didn't plan to call any companions!
But unexpectedly, he really found Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan in the cellar in the backyard of the house. This made Bai Qing overjoyed, and the previous scene happened! Obviously, the previous arrow was not meant to assassinate him, but someone was sending him a message!
As for why Bai Qing lied to Wang Chengwu, the reason is still due to interests. If the truth is told, it is said that someone sent him a letter pointing out the hiding place of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan, so he caught these two people. , it will appear that he played no role in this matter. In order to show his contribution to a greater extent, he can only say that he discovered the hiding place of Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan!
On the other side, he was experiencing a real assassination!
It is said that Dugu Xin was riding alone from the city to Shuoren Square in the south of the city. When he was still three folk squares away from Shuoren Square, suddenly, dozens of feathered arrows with a cold light appeared on the walls of the surrounding folk squares. Shooting towards his body, Dugu Xin was a master-level martial arts master, and his sense of danger was far more acute than Bai Qing's. The moment before the arrow was shot, he felt a life and death crisis, and he felt a sudden rush in his heart. cold!
Facing dozens of feather arrows shooting from his waist, Dugu Xin drew out the sword from his waist, and with the help of Li Zexuan, he understood the Dugu Nine Swords - Broken Arrow Style and activated it instantly. He saw a flash of swords and shadows in the air, and the dozens of swords were All the feather arrows were cut off by Dugu Xin. There was a crisp "ding, ding, ding" sound, and the arrows landed on the bluestone, and the space became quiet instantly!
"Who dares to commit murder in Taiyuan City? Come out~!"
Dugu Xin had already dismounted. He stood with his sword in hand, glanced around, and shouted in a deep voice.
