On this day, Shang Yun with the blue moon was at the canal dock, admiring the scenery and waiting for the arrival of Fu Laoliu.

Lan Yue had no worries because she was wearing a mask, and the two of them talked and laughed, feeling at ease.

At this time, a small passenger ship docked at the pier, and the passengers on board, carrying young and old, came ashore one after another.

Lan Yue stared at the passenger ship docking at the dock, thinking in her mind: If she was alone, she could board the passenger ship directly, pay the fare, and reach the capital. But with Yun'er, it would be more convenient to take Fu Laoliu's ship.

.

The two plans that were being compared in his mind suddenly flashed and a man jumped onto the pier.

Lan Yue instinctively turned around and avoided the man's gaze. It turned out that the man, judging from his body, eyes and even figure, should be a scout in the army or had been a scout in the army.

After turning around, Lan Yue remembered that she was already wearing a mask and there was no way anyone could recognize him, so she turned around again and looked at the person with her peripheral vision. She suddenly felt that the person was so kind and she should have seen him before.

After that person walked away, Lan Ye suddenly remembered that he had indeed seen this person in the capital. This person's name was Han Zhan. He had multiple identities. He was a royal guard and was responsible for protecting the princess and prince, but secretly he was a subordinate of Qi Tai, the Minister of War.

spies.

Lan Yue thought to herself: She had killed Li Bingren in the north and exposed her whereabouts. The imperial court should have sent the Jinyi Guards to hunt her down, but why were spies from the Ministry of War coming instead? Is it because they were afraid that the Jinyiwei would be too showy? Or there was another reason.

Lan Yue didn't care about her own life or death, but she definitely didn't want Shang Yun'er to be harmed because of her. In addition, she couldn't make unnecessary sacrifices before her revenge was avenged, so she quietly stayed with Shang Yun'er.

He whispered a few words in his ear, asking her to go back to the inn and wait for him, and then followed him quietly.

The man walked very alertly and used various methods from time to time to check whether he was being followed.

Lan Yue was also very familiar with this technique, so she just followed from a distance and did not dare to get too close.

The man made many twists and turns, and finally arrived at the Chengxuan Political Envoy Department in Beiping.

Lan Yue suddenly remembered that Zhang Bing, the political envoy of Peking, was Li Bingren's father-in-law, and thought that it might have something to do with him. She did not dare to rush into the house to check in broad daylight, so she had to find a corner from a distance to monitor the gate of the administrative envoy of Chengdu.

After more than an hour, Han Zhan walked out of the door.

To his surprise, those who went out to see him off were not only Zhang Bing but also Peking Commander Xie Gui and Deputy Commander Zhang Xin.

Lan Yue had met these people in his early years when he was in the capital. Zhang Bing's official position at that time was Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Xie Gui and Zhang Xin also served in the Six Ministries respectively. It should not have been long before he was transferred to Peking.

Lan Yue felt even more strange in her heart. These three people respectively held the military and political power in Peiping. They definitely didn't come together just to catch him.

Lan Yue was a very curious person. She was currently in Peiping and was bored waiting for the rich man, so she secretly followed Han Zhan and tried to get to the bottom of the matter.

Han Zhan randomly found a hotel to stay, and Lan Yue found a teahouse nearby, sipping tea and observing in secret.

At dusk, Han Zhan walked out of the inn, Lan Yue paid for the tea and followed quietly.

Han Zhan made several large circles from Beiping City, and only went north when the sky was completely dark.

Looking at the direction he was going, Lan Yue probably guessed the other party's destination.

Han Zhan came to a large courtyard, walked around a few times, saw no one around, and jumped in.

Lan Yue thought to herself that this matter really had nothing to do with her. She wanted to leave, but then she remembered that in the prison that day, King Yan Zhu Di was helpful to her, so she jumped in.

This place is the backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion. As soon as he entered the backyard, Lan Yue smiled bitterly. It turned out that Prince Yan had built many chicken coops and duck pens here, which were not only smelly but also extremely noisy.

Han Zhan was seen sneaking into a chicken coop and never came out again.

Lan Yue felt even more strange: after traveling thousands of miles away, the most powerful people in Peiping, including the scouts from the Ministry of War who came from the capital, the envoy Chengxuan and the commander-in-chief of Peking, secretly went to Prince Yan's Mansion to conspire to steal the chicken.

?

Lan Yue knew that things would definitely not be that simple, but didn't want to alert others, so she hid in the dark and waited quietly.

In less than half an hour, Han Zhan, covered in chicken feathers, walked out of the chicken coop, jumped up on the wall, and flew away.

Lan Yue came to the chicken coop in a well-behaved manner and found a secret door mechanism.

For a person who is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, such a mechanism is just a piece of cake.

Lan Yue spent almost no effort before opening the mechanism and getting in.

After walking through a spiraling passage, Lan Yue heard the sound of tinkling iron in her ears.

Lan Yue was shocked, and she probably guessed the secret hidden here.

Lan Yue continued walking along the dark corner of the wall, and after walking for a while, a hall appeared in front of her.

The hall was brightly lit, and several shirtless blacksmiths were making weapons and armor. The floor was littered with finished weapons.

No need to look any further, Lan Yue has already understood the purpose of some people in the DPRK.

Three months ago. Capital. East Palace.

Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, was complaining to Qitai, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Huang Zicheng, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy: "None of my uncles are fuel-efficient lamps. When the emperor was in power, of course they were honest and did not dare to act rashly. But now

, the emperor’s dragon body looks worse than before, what if... I really can’t imagine that these princes can still obey my control with heavy troops in their hands? It would be strange if they don’t rebel! "

In his early years, Huang Zicheng was the companion of the Prince of the Eastern Palace, and had a close relationship with Zhu Yunwen's father, Zhu Biao. Therefore, it can be said that he watched Zhu Yunwen grow up. The relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen sighing, he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Grandson of the Emperor. The kings' troops can only be used to protect themselves. If they rebel, as long as you give the order, the imperial court will send troops to attack and they will be victorious. This has happened in history."

With such an incident, wasn’t the chaos in the Seven Kingdoms during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty also put down?”

As the Minister of War, Qi Tai was most sensitive to numbers and intelligence. He counted on his fingers: "There are twenty-five vassal kings in the world today. There is only one who is a real threat, and they are all in the north. Counting from east to west, they are

King of Liao, King of Ning, King of Yan, King of Valley, King of Dai, King of Jin, King of Qin, King of Qing and King of Su.”

"There is only one most dangerous person among the nine kings, King Yan Zhu Di. I believe that this person is only afraid of the current emperor. Once the emperor dies, King Yan will be unscrupulous and will definitely rebel. Rather than react passively at that time,

It’s better to take action now, while Emperor Long Wei is still there, to strike first.”

Huang Zicheng shook his head and objected: "You also said that King Zhu Di of Yan is afraid of the current emperor, so as long as the current emperor is alive, King Zhu Di of Yan will definitely abide by the law and will definitely not rebel. How can you get rid of him first?"

Qi Tai sneered: "Emperor Jianzai, of course he will not rebel, but as long as we find evidence of his rebellion, we can use the emperor's hands to get rid of him. Once King Yan is removed, the other kings will be free.

Sir!"

Huang Zicheng said strangely: "What you say is completely unreasonable. If you don't rebel, how can you get any evidence?"

"As long as I use a little trick, King Zhu Di of Yan will create evidence of rebellion on his own." Qi Tai said confidently.

What he said also whetted Zhu Yunwen's appetite, and he quickly asked about the plan.

Qi Tai calmly stated his idea.

It turns out that the land entrusted by King Zhu Di of Yan was often attacked by nomads in the northern grasslands. At the same time, King Zhu Di of Yan would also take the initiative and often lead troops to raid the grasslands. Therefore, armor and weapons were consumed hugely, and the Ministry of War would be ready in a few days.

Received a letter from King Zhu Di of Yan applying for armor and weapons.

Now as long as the Ministry of War finds a reason to refuse to issue weapons and armor to King Zhu Di of Yan, with his lawless character, he will definitely forge them secretly himself.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi took out a copy of the "Da Ming Calendar" from her pocket, pointed to one of the chapters and read: "Anyone who opposes a general who privately manufactures more than fifty armors is considered to be treason."

"We can replace the chief envoy of Peking and the commander of the capital with our own people, and then arrange for excellent scouts to investigate. Once evidence is found, it will be easier to arrest him for treason. The emperor will also depose him even if he does not kill him.

Military power, what can a toothless tiger do?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and praised him.

Peking. Prince Yan's Mansion. Night time, now.

Lan Yue walked out of the underground secret room. He knew that at dawn tomorrow, the chief envoy of Peking and the commander of the capital would lead a large number of people and find a reason to come here. For King Zhu Di of Yan, there was only one night left.

Less than.

Lan Yue started her lightening skills and groped from the backyard to the front yard.

At this moment, he was also in a dilemma. If he revealed his identity, it would bring great trouble to King Yan Zhu Di. But if he did not reveal his identity and appeared in the palace rashly, he would be ruthlessly blocked by the palace guards.

Lan Yue sneaked all the way. The backyard of the palace was a courtyard, so there were not many guards. But the front yard was different. It was also the residence of the prince and princess. There were many guards, and there were also vicious dogs with sensitive noses among them. I think

It's really difficult to get close to Zhu Di in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, Lan Yue had been to Prince Yan's Mansion before and was quite familiar with the place. He had been hiding all the way. When encountering vicious dogs patrolling, he had to close his pores to prevent his body position from leaking out and being discovered by them.

Just walking like this, for more than half an hour, they arrived at the residence of King Yan Zhu Di. Looking from a distance, Zhu Di was reading at night by candlelight. Lan Yue was overjoyed. Just as she was about to step forward, a cold wind suddenly came from behind.

When the attack came, Lan Yue screamed loudly and hurriedly dodged to the side, barely dodging the sword. When she wanted to look back at the person behind her, the person's long sword pointed at her back again.

In desperation, Lan Yue had no choice but to move sideways.

Unexpectedly, no matter how Lan Yue dodged and turned sideways, the opponent's long sword was always pressed a foot away from his vest, following him like a shadow, and there was no way to avoid it. The most terrifying thing was that the man's movement was silent, and the sword energy was extremely cold, but there was no trace of it.

There was no movement. Anyone else would have been stabbed to death by this sword technique.

But Lan Yue knew that although she was not hit by the sword at this moment, it was only a matter of time.

Lan Yue gritted her teeth and thought: "Instead of being hit by a sword and dying by then, it's better to be hit by a sword now. Maybe we can take the initiative."

When he thought of this, he deliberately slowed down a little, turned his body slightly, and with a "plop" sound, Lan Yue was hit by a sword on his shoulder.

The moment the opponent's long sword penetrated Lan Yue's body, it naturally slowed down. Lan Yue seized this rare opportunity, turned around fiercely, grabbed the opponent's wrist with one hand, and stretched out his arms with the other hand.

He pointed, using the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" move to dig out the opponent's eyes.

After half a move, Lan Yue finally saw the person coming. It was a young man of about twenty years old, with a pale face and a long sword in his hand.

Lan Yue shouted in surprise: "Sambo, why is it you?"

The man was stunned when he heard Lan Yue call out his name, but he had no impression of the person in front of him.

Lan Yue suddenly remembered that she was still wearing a mask, and quickly jumped aside and took off the mask, revealing her true face.
