There is always more mutual trust between people who are close to each other. Jing Xuanwei finally chose to trust his younger brother and sister-in-law Gu Rong.
At midnight, they set off towards Lu Mansion.
On the other side, at the inn where Ye Ming was staying, Lei Ling was lying on the window sill looking at Ye Ming:
"Are you really going to Lu Mansion?"
"Of course not."
"Not going? Then if they go, won't they be in vain?"
"They're not going to fall short."
Ye Ming smiled mysteriously, with evil intentions.
Seeing what Ye Ming said, Lei Ling stopped asking, knowing that this big devil must be holding back his bad intentions again.
"Then what do we do?"
"Of course we left this inn."
Ye Ming said, seeing that Maisui had packed up the things he wanted to bring, he took her downstairs.
Lei Ling didn't know what Ye Ming was up to, so she followed curiously.
She found that Ye Ming and Mai Sui rode directly on the donkey's base, not even using the broken cart, and just went out.
What is this for?
Running all night?
Lei Ling was puzzled, but still reminded:
"There are many evil spirits patrolling the city at night, and it would be difficult to deal with them if they see you."
Ye Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
Seeing that Ye Ming was confident, Lei Ling said no more, jumped on the donkey's head and moved forward together.
The hard-working donkey walked down the street carrying two people and a cat.
There were many city patrols on the street. In response, Ye Ming directly cast a spell to cover up the traces of their group.
This made Lei Ling very surprised. This old devil casts spells and emits devilish energy. Isn't he afraid of exposing himself?
This guy had never cast a spell before, whether it was to deal with the evil centipede or the plague demon. It was really strange that he would cast a spell for such a trivial matter this time.
The blinding method can only be used against ordinary people, but it is useless against ghosts like evil spirits.
As soon as they turned a corner, they encountered two evil spirits patrolling over.
As soon as the two evil ghosts see Ye Ming and other people who are obviously not ordinary people, they will immediately attack.
Just as he rushed to Ye Ming, he saw Ye Ming stretch out his finger and tap lightly.
The eyes of the two evil ghosts suddenly became dull and froze in mid-air. Then they returned to normal, turning a blind eye to Ye Ming and others, and continued patrolling.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Actually, I know how to control evil spirits."
"The Art of Refining the Yang of the Ghost King" records a large number of techniques for controlling various ghosts. Although Ye Ming is not a ghost and cannot make these ghosts obey his words, it is still easy to just make them turn a blind eye to him.
Along the way, neither humans nor ghosts could hinder Donkey Gen's pace. Soon, they came to a very dilapidated station that could only cover the snow.
The station is now empty, no one in sight.
Ye Ming was not in a hurry at all, he just got off the donkey's back and found a random place to sit down.
Seeing this, Maisui also came down.
Just after arriving at the soldiers' station in the city, Maisui was still a little nervous. He held the white stone in his hand and looked around.
Looking at the station, Lei Ling already understood what Ye Ming was doing here, but she didn't know what Ye Ming's specific plans were.
Not long after, I saw a group of soldiers coming back listlessly. They were all very listless and seemed to be very hungry.
The first person in charge first noticed the wheat ears outside the camp that looked like a boy. He was a little confused. Then he saw the donkey roots and Ye Ming sitting under the tent. He didn't know why.
One of them pointed at the donkey root and said something emotionally to the leader. After hearing this, the leader looked condensed and raised his hand to signal the brothers to stop.
Everyone is also unsure about who is coming suddenly. The person who dares to appear here so arrogantly cannot be an ordinary person. For everyone who has been targeted recently, this is really not good news.
The leader straightened his clothes, stepped forward, walked to Ye Ming, cupped his fists and said:
"I'm Zhang Zhi, I don't know what to call you."
Ye Ming did not answer his question, but smiled and pointed at the wheat ears and said:
"You should not come to see me, but to see her."
"he?"
Zhang Zhi looked at Mai Sui, who looked like a boy, and wondered what Ye Ming meant.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Her surname is Tang."
"Your surname is Tang?"
Zhang Zhi's eyes lit up,
"Are you a young general?"
As soon as I said it, I immediately vetoed myself:
"No, the young general was already fourteen when the accident happened, and he did die. You are not the young general."
Maisui was silent for a while and then said:
"I am a girl, and my father's surname is Tang."
"Are you a young lady?"
Zhang Zhi looked at Mai Sui with some suspicion, thought for a while and said,
"Yes, the general does have a little daughter. In terms of age, she is this old."
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Now that I recognize you, how about we continue to meet you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi realized that the weirdo in front of him was probably a friend rather than an enemy. Feeling hopeful, he immediately called out to the group of brothers behind him and came forward together, kneeling down in front of Mai Sui.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the young lady."
Maisui was not used to being suddenly visited by so many people, so she subconsciously hid behind Ye Ming.
Ye Ming took Maisui's hand, looked at Zhang Zhi and others, and said with a smile:
"Maisui is still young, so Yang will communicate with you."
Zhang Zhi and others nodded when they heard this.
They are not stupid. They can see that this mysterious man who looks like a man with shabby clothes is a real thigh, so they will not refuse.
Ye Ming began to ask them some questions.
Everyone answered truthfully.
To put it simply, after General Tang's accident, General Dong had full authority to accept General Tang's men.
Many generals chose to take refuge with General Dong, but there were also some who were loyal to General Tang and suspected that there was something fishy about the murder of General Tang.
They believe that the person who killed General Tang was not some Liang people's clever work, but a secret plan by General Dong, whose purpose was to gain the power of General Tang's subordinates.
Therefore, these people chose to disobey.
It's just that everyone underestimated General Dong's power. Facing his adopted son Lu Qingxu, the generals were invincible, and all the opposition generals were eliminated.
After dealing with the high-level people, there are still many middle- and low-level people.
The base of these people is large, and it is impossible to kill them on a large scale, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable.
General Dong had people break up all the original troops of General Tang and reorganize them. They demoted all the backbone generals of General Tang to ordinary soldiers, and their own people served as generals.
In this way, he completely controlled the troops of General Tang, and then ordered people to secretly make things difficult for them, those who were loyal to General Tang.
"Sir, if we don't talk about anything else, just talking about the attitude of Dong Lushan and his son towards us, we know that the death of General Tang is absolutely inseparable from him."
Zhang Zhiman cried to Ye Ming sadly.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Since Yang is here, he naturally wants to take care of you. How about taking care of your meal first?"
Everyone looked happy when they heard this. They had been hungry and half-full for a long time, and they really couldn't stand it any longer.
"But after you are full, you have to do something for Yang, how about that?"
"This is natural. Mr. Yang is willing to help us. It is natural for us to work for Mr. Yang."
Seeing how grateful these people were to Ye Ming, Lei Ling sighed.
This old devil is getting better and better at deceiving people.
With Lei Ling's understanding, she knew that this meal was definitely not that delicious.
But Zhang Zhi and others didn't know what Ye Ming had planned.
I just thought that since Ye Ming brought General Tang's daughter with him, he must be a trustworthy person. No matter what, he would not harm himself and others, so he followed Ye Ming to the place to eat.
...
"Mr. Yang, is this the place you mentioned to eat?"
Zhang Zhi pointed to the yard in front of him with some fear, while the others did not dare to say a word and remained silent.
This place is the kitchen of the General's Mansion in Anwucheng, and the General's Mansion is next to it.
Although Dong Lushan and Lu Qingxu and his son are not here now,...
"Come here to steal food..."
Zhang Zhi swallowed.
"Mr. Yang, I suddenly feel not so hungry."
Others nodded.
Yes, I feel less hungry.
Ye Ming shook his head and said, "You're worthless. Who said you want to steal something to eat?"
"Ah, you don't want to steal something to eat? Then what are we doing here?"
"Of course, grab it!"
...
"It's strange, it's almost midnight, why haven't you seen Mr. Yang yet?"
Jing Ziruo hid in an alley two streets away from Lu Mansion and shivered.
She felt like she was freezing, her nose was already running, and she didn't have the temperament of a beautiful girl at all.
Jing Xuanwei also frowned:
"Did Mr. Yang encounter something unexpected..."
Gu Rong didn't speak, just looked at the snowy night, wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, it was already midnight, but there was still no sign of Ye Ming.
"Mr. Yang, why don't you come? If you don't come, I will freeze to death..."
Jing Ziruo's hands and feet were so cold from the cold that she curled up into a ball and squatted in the corner.
Jing Xuanwei and Gu Rong were also unable to bear the cold.
Just when Jing Xuanwei was about to give up, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs in the city, and someone was shouting something. Words such as "fire" and "thief" were faintly heard.
The three of them all looked surprised. That direction seemed to be the General's Mansion.
While the three of them were wondering, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from around the alley.
Jing Ziruo and Jing Xuanwei were both shocked, and Gu Rong also frowned.
After a few breaths, I saw footsteps all around the alley, torches flickering in the dark night, and a group of armored sergeants surrounded the entire alley.
Jing Xuanwei and Jing Ziruo's expressions changed drastically, and they were horrified.
Gu Rong also stood frozen on the spot, looking ugly.
A man who looked like a general walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the three people.
The man stared at Gu Rong and said:
"You betrayed us? Delivered false news?"
Gu Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I didn't, I just didn't expect..."
"No?"
The general-looking man sneered,
"Draw our attention here so that we can take the opportunity to sneak into the general's mansion and set fire to it and burn a large number of military documents?
This is all because of your intelligence!
Regardless of whether you betrayed me or not, you are still responsible for what happened tonight. "
When Jing Xuanwei and Jing Ziruo heard this, how could they not understand that Gu Rong really had a problem.
"Sister-in-law, why did you..."
Jing Ziruo really couldn't understand the benefits of Gu Rong doing this.
Gu Rong smiled bitterly:
"I am a spy under the Prime Minister first, then a spy under Lord Tianguan, and finally your sister-in-law."
"Master Xiang...you mean him?"
Jing Xuanwei's pupils shrank, and then he showed a relieved expression.
"Yes, once he reaches his position, the only possible step further is that step.
It seems that he has secretly colluded with Dong Lushan..."
"Sister-in-law...Gurong, why do you want to harm eldest brother and the others?"
Jing Ziruo asked.
"It was a complete accident that they were captured. Originally, I was planning to contact the people above and let them out.
Unexpectedly, I met an unexpected big fish, and then I changed my mind.
I just didn't want to but was taken advantage of by the big fish. "
Gu Rong chose Xiang Jing Ziruo to explain the reason.
The general-looking man didn't care about Jing Xuanwei and Jing Ziruo, nor did he want to listen to the conversation between them.
In his opinion, these people were just bait thrown out and stupid spies. He didn't ask any questions at all, he just waved his hand and said:
"Take it."
