The journey was uneventful, and seven days later.
Luoshui flows eastward, and on the straight river, a fleet of boats sails smoothly under the warm autumn light.
After hearing the news of the fleet's return, all the merchant ships and passenger ships in the river had been cleared out, specifically to make room for the West Factory's fleet to avoid a collision accident that would cause the gold to sink to the bottom of the river.
Not only that, there were already troops of the imperial court waiting here by the river. At a glance, they were all densely packed with people, all holding knives and swords, and wearing armor.
Among them were soldiers from the Kyoto area and some from Dongchang.
The leader, wearing a purple python robe and a pointed hat, has a majestic demeanor and a red face. He is Cao Zhengchun, the new boss of Dongchang.
Next to him, followed a man also wearing a python robe, with a sinister appearance and white eyebrows. At this time, he was looking at the approaching fleet in the distance with a gloomy face:
"Lord Governor, this time Xichang successfully brought back Dabaishang's national treasure, and even killed all the martial arts sects in fear. Now Yuhuatian's reputation is spreading in the world, and some people have given him a nickname, what's his name?" The Killer God in White', all the limelight has been given to Xichang!"
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he raised his thick eyebrows and said calmly:
“Sometimes, too much limelight may not be a good thing.”
The white-browed man said solemnly: "But now the reputation of the West Factory has surpassed that of our East Factory. Even the officials in the court have begun to fawn over the officials of the West Factory. In the long run, our rights in the East Factory will inevitably be completely taken away by the West Factory." .”
Cao Zhengchun glanced at him, smiled softly, and said:
"You have to remember, no matter whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, the rights of us eunuchs are given by the Emperor. They cannot be taken away by anyone who wants to. It doesn't matter what other people think. The key is what the Emperor thinks."
The white-browed man frowned and said: "But this time Xichang successfully brought back the treasure, the emperor must be very happy with Long Yan, and he values Xichang even more. Moreover, the emperor recently fell into the water and caught the wind and cold and was unable to come to court. Many things must be left to Xichang. , what will happen to our Dongchang then?"
"Don't worry."
Cao Zhengchun chuckled and said: "Although Xichang successfully brought back the treasure, Yuhuatian also offended almost half of the Ming Dynasty this time. With the character of these people who are determined to retaliate, one day they will come to their door. The real storm is yet to come.”
"We just need to sit tight on Diaoyutai and watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and then watch him... the building collapse!"
"By then, what threat will the West Factory pose to us?"
The white-browed man was thoughtful.
"Okay, don't think too much. Let's go and meet our hero of the Ming Dynasty."
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand and walked slowly towards the shore.
The white-browed man looked up and saw that the fleet had docked. He did not dare to delay and quickly followed.
…
"Lord Governor, we've reached the shore!"
At the cabin door, Ma Jinliang and others were not in a hurry to get out of the car, but stood outside waiting respectfully.
After hearing the sound, the cabin door fell silent for a while, then opened from the inside. Yu Huatian, who had put on a brand new python robe and carried a silver-white cloak on his back, walked out of the cabin. His skin was fair, his face was handsome, he was feminine but not girly, and he was hanging on his waist. Yitian Sword is like a sword fairy walking out of a painting.
"See the Overlord!"
Seeing Yuhuatian walking out, many of the West Factory fans on the boat bowed and saluted with respectful expressions, and then dispersed to both sides, leaving the middle road.
Yu Huatian walked out of the cabin, looked at the crowded scene on the shore, and paused slightly: "It's really lively."
Ma Jinliang glanced back, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Lord Governor, I heard that the Emperor was very happy when he learned that we brought back the treasure. However, it is said that when the Emperor visited Daming Lake, the treasure ship he was riding on had an accident, causing the Emperor to accidentally fall into the water and catch the wind and cold. Otherwise, the Emperor may have to come to greet us in person..."
Before Ma Jinliang finished speaking, Yu Huatian's expression changed. He immediately raised his hand to interrupt, stared at him, and asked: "What did you say? The emperor fell into the water?!"
Ma Jinliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that it happened a few days ago. My subordinates also just received the news. It's just that the emperor is fine. According to the doctor, he just contracted wind and cold, which is not serious. Moreover, the governor has been I'm in retreat, so my subordinates didn't bother me..."
Uh-huh!
As soon as these words came out, Yu Huatian turned around instantly and stared at Lu Wenzhao in the crowd, murderous intent suddenly appearing in his eyes.
The atmosphere fell into an ice valley in an instant.
Everyone felt cold, including Lu Wenzhao, who was also confused. He had never heard what Ma Jinliang said to Yu Huatian. Seeing Yu Huatian staring at him, he thought he had inadvertently caused trouble again, so he immediately A sudden thought occurred in my heart, and I was so frightened that I quickly lowered my head and bowed:
"I am humbled by my position and I am aware of my mistake. Please forgive me!"
Know your mistake?
Yuhuatian stared at him coldly: "Where did you go wrong?"
Lu Wenzhao's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't know how he offended Yu Huatian, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "It's a humble job... I don't know what a humble job is."
Don’t know?
The murderous intent in Yuhuatian's eyes almost solidified.
The emperor went on a boat trip, and something happened to the treasure ship, causing him to fall into the water. This is the plot of the movie "Xiu Chun Dao". In the original work, it was the great Ming Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, together with Lu Wenzhao and others, who did it to get rid of the emperor. Let Zhu Youjian ascend the throne and sit on the throne.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that the emperor's treasure ship was in trouble, Yu Huatian first thought of Lu Wenzhao.
Although he followed him on missions during this period and had an alibi, it did not mean that he had nothing to do with him.
Yuhuatian stared at him coldly: "If something happens to the emperor, I will definitely kill you!"
Even though Yuhuatian wanted to get rid of the emperor very much, all his current status and rights were given by the emperor.
The emperor must not die before he is fully prepared!
Anyone who dares to murder the emperor is working against himself!
"You'd better pray that the emperor is okay!"
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Wenzhao coldly again, turned around and walked towards the shore.
But at this time, Lu Wenzhao's face had turned pale, and he was extremely frightened.
As soon as Yuhuatian said that something happened to the emperor, he knew what was going on. As expected, King Xin must have sent someone to do this.
And Yu Huatian's guess was correct. King Xin only had a few available people, and the person who did this really had something to do with him.
But he couldn't figure out how Yuhuatian knew that this matter was related to him?
Turning around and looking at Yu Huatian's back, Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but feel cold all over as he remembered the murderous intent revealed in his eyes just now.
Not only was this West Factory owner thoughtful and ruthless, he also seemed to know everything and was so mysterious that he couldn't see through it at all.
With his plan to protect the emperor and trust the king, is it really possible to succeed?
Lu Wenzhao felt cold in his heart.
At this time, the others had no intention of paying attention to him. They all glanced at him and followed Yuhuatian off the boat ashore.
The originally relaxed atmosphere became a little tense after what happened just now.
In front of everyone, Yu Huatian also looked at Cao Zhengchun with a cold face. He didn't mean to say too much to him. He walked forward and asked coldly:
"I heard that the emperor fell into the water and got cold? How is the situation now?"
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun, who was smiling and about to say a few polite words, was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and said: "Eunuch Yu is really loyal to the emperor. As soon as he came back, he first cared about the emperor. Dragon body.”
"But don't worry, Eunuch Yu, the emperor is not seriously ill. The imperial doctor said that he just contracted a little cold. In addition, the emperor's health is not very good, so he can't afford it. But as long as he cultivates well for a period of time, he will be able to recover slowly. get well."
After receiving Cao Zhengchun's affirmation, Yu Huatian was completely relieved and his expression softened a little.
Immediately, he looked at the densely packed capital army and Dongchang fans in front of him, bowed his hand to Cao Zhengchun, and said: "Eunuch Cao is responsible for escorting the gold into the treasury. I will go to the palace to visit the emperor, and by the way, I will ask the emperor." Return to life."
After saying that, Yuhuatian directly passed Cao Zhengchun and walked back.
The people in the West Factory and the Jin Yiwei followed directly, all with stern expressions and without saying a word.
Cao Zhengchun stood there, looking at the resolute figure going away, and couldn't help but be stunned again.
Immediately, he shook his head, smiled, and said: "This Mr. Yu is really a smart man. He can distinguish what is most important."
After saying that, he turned to look at the people in Dongchang who looked puzzled. He didn't mean to explain to them. He waved and said:
"Let's do it, be careful, count the quantities clearly, and take care of your own hands. Whoever dares to steal a piece of gold will have his life taken away from him!"
Everyone was shocked and quickly said: "Yes."
…
Luoshui Dongjiao Pier is still dozens of miles away from the capital. After handing over all the follow-up chores to Cao Zhengchun, Yuhuatian mounted the horses that had been prepared by the East Factory and led everyone in the West Factory and Jin Yiwei back to the capital.
The news that Xichang had successfully snatched the national treasure of Dabai and returned with a great victory had already spread throughout the capital.
Therefore, when I heard that Yuhuatian had returned, a crowd of onlookers had already stood at the gate of the capital, including ordinary people and officials who came to congratulate him.
As soon as Yuhuatian brought people into Beijing, the officials who had been waiting for a long time came forward one after another and congratulated each other:
"Eunuch Yu is awesome!"
"I heard that this time I not only brought back gold, but also killed many martial arts thieves. Recently, many gangster thieves have become much more honest. All of this is thanks to my lord!"
"The admiration of a humble position is like a torrential river..."
…
Seeing this messy scene, Yu Huatian frowned slightly, but as the saying goes, 'Don't hit the smiling person', he couldn't directly show his face to these officials who were showing good intentions, so he could only suppress his displeasure and talk to him casually. After a few polite words, they dismissed them and successfully returned to the West Factory.
"You go back first."
Standing at the gate of the West Factory, Yu Huatian gave instructions to Ma Jinliang and others, then looked at the several thousand households in Jinyiwei, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "You guys, please go back first. You shouldn't have to choose what to do in the future. I remind you."
Several people felt awe-inspiring and immediately leaned over to show their loyalty to their watches:
"Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely follow your lead in the future!"
Yu Huatian nodded slightly, and then glanced coldly at Lu Wenzhao in the crowd again. He did not rush to argue with him, turned around on his horse, and walked straight towards the palace.
Everyone kept bowing to see him off, until Yu Huatian's figure could no longer be seen clearly, and then the two parties left in batches.
The people from Xichang returned to the Yamen, and the people from Jinyiwei also left Xichang, preparing to go to Zhenfusi to resume their duties.
Lu Wenzhao also took Shen Lian and others away with the flow of people. Although his expression could not be seen, he was obviously a little absent-minded.
Ma Jinliang and others did not rush into the government office. They just watched the Jin Yiwei leave quietly until the crowd left. Ma Jinliang looked at the backs of Lu Wenzhao and his group, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and whispered to Ding Xiu next to him:
"You are better at Qinggong and are not easily noticed. Just keep an eye on him and see where he goes!"
Through what happened on the dock before, Ma Jinliang also saw that something was wrong with Lu Wenzhao, and it might be related to the emperor falling into the water.
Although Yu Huatian did not give instructions, as a subordinate, there are some things that do not need to be stated explicitly, and he must learn to take the initiative to share his master's worries.
When Ding Xiu heard this, he didn't say anything. He blended into the crowd with the Great Royal Forest Saber on his shoulder and quietly disappeared at the street entrance.
…
In the south of the city, Hulong Villa.
Zhu Wuwu was wearing a black gold python robe and looked majestic. He was sitting on a large gilded chair. Below him stood the three secret agents of Dragon Guard Villa——
Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang.
After the incident in the desert, the three of them did not go with Xichang, but rushed back to Hulong Villa to recover.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhu Wuwu already knew all the events that happened before and after the birth of Dabaishang's national treasure.
At this time, Shangguan Haitang looked serious and cupped his hands towards Zhu Wuwang and said: "Father, I heard that the people from the West Factory are back today. Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, personally led people to the dock to greet him. I heard that if the emperor had not fallen into the water and was infected, It’s windy and cold and we can’t leave the palace, otherwise even the emperor would have to go to the dock to greet Yuhuatian in person.”
"As soon as this Yuhuatian returned to Beijing, he immediately entered the palace to meet the Saint without even stepping through the gate of Xichang. From then on, this Yuhuatian may be highly valued by the emperor. Lieutenant General of the Dynasty No one else can balance it!"
Zhu Wulan's expression was calm and he said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I know what you mean, but this time Yuhuatian was able to successfully lead Yuhuatian with the help of many first-rate Jianghu forces, even the Song Dynasty, Dayuan Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty. Returning the treasure is indeed a great achievement, even if you are favored by the emperor, it is a matter of course."
Duan Tianya frowned and said: "But this Yuhuatian is ruthless and ambitious. If no one checks and balances him, I'm afraid that soon there will be another Wanyu Tower, and I don't know how many innocent people will die under him." In hand."
Zhu Wuying waved his hand: "From what you said before, this Yu Huatian should be a smart man, he would not do this."
"Furthermore, we can see what you are saying, and the emperor can naturally see it, otherwise the emperor would not let Cao Zhengchun come out to take charge of the East Factory. The purpose is to check and balance the West Factory and prevent the West Factory from becoming dominant."
Duan Tianya frowned and said: "Cao Zhengchun has been the governor of Dongchang for so long, but he has not yet completely stabilized the situation in Dongchang. Can he defeat Yuhuatian?"
Zhu Wulan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "You have underestimated this Cao Zhengchun. When the late emperor was still there, he was my old enemy. Relying on the late emperor's favor, he always opposed me. Even I couldn't do anything against him. , Yuhuatian wants to suppress Dongchang and dominate the court, it’s not that simple.”
"Moreover, even if Cao Zhengchun is not his opponent, as long as I am here, he will not be able to make any trouble!"
There was an undoubted domineering look in Zhu Wuli's eyes.
As the younger brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current emperor, holding the iron book of alchemy and the sword of Shang Fang, he is indeed qualified to say this.
As he spoke, he looked at Duan Tianya and the others and said solemnly:
"On the contrary, it's the three of you. I have trained you for so long, but you can't even defeat the four famous arresters of the Six Gates of the Song Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that I am not as good as Zhuge Zhengwo, the Sixth and Five God Lords? "
"Yu Huatian is right in teaching you a lesson. You have indeed disappointed me!"
Hearing this, Duan Tianya and the other two men bowed their heads slightly, with a trace of guilt on their faces.
Zhu Wuli looked at the three of them, shook his head and sighed, and said: "Although I am disappointed with you, I do not mean to blame you. I just hope that through this incident, you will realize your shortcomings and improve your strength as soon as possible, so that you can be better." Protect the Ming Dynasty and the people well."
Duan Tianya raised his head, his eyes were firm and he cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, adoptive father, we will definitely practice harder in the future and strive to meet the requirements of the adoptive father as soon as possible."
Zhu Wulan was slightly pleased and nodded: "Haste makes waste when it comes to martial arts training. You don't have to be too impatient. In fact, you have already met my requirements, but you still need to continue to work hard."
"In addition, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Back then, I, following the orders of the late emperor, founded Dragon Protection Villa. In order to better monitor the world, I trained the three of you, but there was still one missing No. 1 secret agent with yellow letters."
Duan Tianya and the others nodded slightly. They had always known about this matter, and they had also been looking for the last secret agent number one with yellow letters.
Shangguan Haitang's eyes moved slightly and he said: "What do you mean by the adoptive father, the adoptive father has already found the No. 1 secret agent with yellow letters?"
"good!"
Zhu Yiyi glanced at her with praise, then waved to the side and said: "Cheng Shifei, come out and meet your three senior brothers."
When the three of them heard this, they all turned their heads to look. As there was a sound of footsteps, they saw a man in yellow clothes walking out from the back of the hall. This man looked quite decent, but he always had a bit of a smile on his face. Cynical humor and cunning.
Cheng Shifei walked straight forward and smiled and bowed his hands to Duan Tianya and the others: "My younger brother, Cheng Shifei, has met three senior brothers."
Seeing his lazy look, Duan Tianya and the others frowned slightly.
