To the evening of April 13th, the 16th year of the lunar calendar.
After five days and five nights of running around, Li Jiang, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and Xie Xun entered Dadu.
In order to prevent Xie Xun from being recognized because of his golden hair, he was shaved bald by Li Jiang when he set off. Xie Xun had no objection to this. He laughed at himself. This was considered as an early experience of the role of a monk.
The other four were well-known throughout the world, and they also wore disguises and pretended to be merchants from the Western Regions.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Li Jiang found Yin Ye Wang standing in front of a stall, seeming to be negotiating the price with the stall owner.
However, he looked distracted, and he kept observing the city gate with the corner of his eye.
Li Jiang raised his eyebrows with him.
King Yin Ye quickly took out a dime of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the stall owner. He grabbed something at random, then made an invisible gesture to Li Jiang with his other hand, turned around and left.
Except for Xie Xun, everyone else also saw King Yin Ye, but they remained calm.
Yin Tianzheng was holding Xie Xun, Li Jiang, Yang Xiao, and Wei Yixiao talking, seemingly walking in the direction of King Yin Ye unintentionally.
The five of them followed King Yin Ye through many twists and turns, and finally arrived at the foot of the Imperial City.
When King Yin Ye arrived at a calligraphy and painting shop, he walked in immediately, but before entering, he nodded his head covertly deep in the alley.
Li Jiang understood, waving his fan without stopping, and continued walking past the calligraphy and painting shop.
Sure enough, after about fifty meters, a courtyard appeared on the right side of Li Jiang. There was a faint "m" mark painted on the lower right corner of the courtyard door.
At this time, only Li Jiang and the Intelligence Bureau knew the meaning of this sign, which represented the Chinese pinyin of the word "ming".
So Li Jiang knew that this was exactly where the Intelligence Bureau had prepared for several people in Dadu.
He called a few people to stop, then stepped forward alone and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Soon, footsteps were heard inside, and then the courtyard door creaked open.
Wang Huishan, director of the Dadu Intelligence Bureau, appeared in front of Li Jiang.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Li? Why do you have time to come see me today?" Wang Huishan looked surprised.
Li Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "Aren't you envious of Dadu's scenery and come to inspect the market? I heard that Lao Wang is a capable person in the business world, so I hope you can give me some advice!"
"It's easy to say, please come in quickly." Wang Huishan nodded repeatedly and stepped aside to open the door.
Li Jiang waved back, put one hand behind his back, waved his fan and walked in with square steps.
After several people were seated in the hall, Wang Huishan came in a little while later. Xiao Qi stepped forward, half-kneeling and clasping his fists, saying: "See you, Prime Minister, Prime Minister Yang, Prime Minister Yin, Prime Minister Xie, and Prime Minister Wei! Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from far away.
"
"I don't blame you. You have a special job and can't show up often. Get up." Li Jiang stroked her softly.
Wang Huishan said: "Thank you Prime Minister for your understanding. Huishan is extremely grateful."
Yin Tianzheng's hair and beard were all flaring, and he said in a loud voice: "Get up quickly. Don't play with those nonsense. Quickly talk about the situation in the palace."
"Yes, Prime Minister Yin." Wang Huishan agreed and stood up.
He began to introduce the situation he had found out.
First of all, through the spy developed in the palace, the Intelligence Bureau can now confirm that Emperor Yuan did not run away from the palace. Yesterday, he was lucky enough to have a concubine, but he did not know where she lived. No matter how much the spy paid, the eunuch who sent the concubine to meet Emperor Yuan would not
Be willing to let go.
Secondly, after analyzing the information collected by spies deployed throughout the capital, the Intelligence Bureau determined that Emperor Yuan might escape in the near future, probably within three days.
"Oh! How could you make such a judgment?" Wei Yixiao was in charge of intelligence work. He knew how difficult it was to accurately derive information from a vast sea of ​​materials, so he didn't quite believe in Wang Huishan's certainty.
King Wang Hui said confidently: "Since last month, eunuchs have been carrying calligraphy, paintings and porcelain out of the palace for sale. Although their actions are very covert, we still learned about it through spies. We analyzed at the time that maybe Emperor Yuan wanted to
Exchange things that are difficult to take away and have no use for grassland life into money so that they can be used for escape and future life.”
"makes sense"
"That's right! If it were me, I would do the same thing. You can't eat or drink paintings, calligraphy and porcelain, so why bring them with you?"
"The dirty mountain is good, the eyes of fire are golden and clear."
Li Jiang and others confirmed Wang Huishan's news.
Wang Huishan looked modest, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised showed that he was very proud at this time.
After everyone had finished speaking, Wang Huishan continued: "This situation lasted for more than ten days. But in recent days, the flow of things from the palace has become less and less, until it stopped completely yesterday. Therefore, we made a comprehensive judgment based on other situations.
, Emperor Yuan has finished handling the things and should be leaving soon."
Li Jiang thought for a moment and asked: "Are there any abnormal movements of the Great Khan's troops?"
"Yes, this is another reason that led us to draw the conclusion. The Prime Minister is indeed far-sighted, sharp and strategizing..."
"Come on, stop flattering me. What's next?"
Wang Huishan's words were once again interrupted by Yin Tianzheng. He glanced at Li Jiang awkwardly and had no choice but to continue.
"There is no large-scale mobilization of the Khan's personal army, but how can they hide it from the spies who have been personally trained by the Prime Minister..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will make you speechless!"
"Okay, Prime Minister Yin. The spies discovered that the pro-army troops were rushing to the west and north gates in small groups. At that time, we were also surprised and confused, but we immediately remembered the teachings of the prime minister: make bold assumptions and be careful to verify...
…”
"Bang bang, bang"
"Eagle King, don't be impulsive. Let him finish."
"Boy, if Yang Zuozhi had not stopped me, you would be dead now, do you know that? Hurry up!"
"Alas, we sent our best intelligence agent to sneak into the pro-army camp in the dark, and finally found that except for a few hundred old, weak and remnant soldiers, the entire camp was empty."
Wang Huishan finished speaking in one breath.
"Time is very urgent." Li Jiang said.
Wei Yi stopped smiling and said with a serious face, "How about I go in first to investigate tonight?"
"That's inappropriate." Li Jiang shook his head.
"Why? With my Qinggong, who can stop me?" Wei Yixiao asked in confusion.
Li Jiang sighed: "Bat King, it's not because I have the ambition of others to destroy my prestige. You have never fought against the masters in the field, so you don't know how powerful they are. Let's put it this way, the speed of the innate masters is beyond your imagination. I have competed with you before.
Guo Qinggong looks similar, but in fact I am letting you."
He paused, and after Wei Yixiao closed his wide-open mouth, he continued: "With my martial arts, I can only hold down three of them. If I take more, it will be difficult to escape. And do you know how many of them there are in the palace?"
People? According to my guess, there are at least ten people. So, you don’t have to go and take risks, we will wait and wait for Wuji to come."
Yin Tianzheng hated iron and steel at this moment and said: "Wuji really doesn't care about the importance. Zhou Zhiruo is not his wife yet! She is just sick. He has to wait for two days to wait for her to recover before leaving. It is too unseemly."
Everyone was speechless and it was difficult to openly discuss the rights and wrongs of King Ming. Of course, Grandpa Yin Tianzheng could do so.
However, there was someone else in the hall who had a relationship with Zhang Wuji, and that was Xie Xun, who had been silent since entering the room. He only heard him say: "Brother Yin, what you said is wrong. How can you blame Wuji if Zhiruo is related to the future of the country?"
What about regardless of importance?"
