Chapter 117: Split Action
An hour after Yu Kun left, Li Pingting got into the carriage that Liu Qing was taking to the market to buy vegetables. After getting out of the carriage without anyone noticing, she quickly arrived at the escort office. Mr. Wu, the escort chief, listened to Li Pingting's story.
After that, he immediately sent his eldest disciple Zhang Yu and his daughter Wu Fengna to visit the state capital and provincial capital.
Mr. Wu's bodyguard knew that this visit was extremely dangerous. Before leaving, Qian asked Wan Dingzhu to ask Zhang Yu and Wu Feng to pay attention to their safety. The couple disguised themselves as small traders and walked around the streets to find out the news. They walked into a pawn shop in the state and handed over their hands.
The jade pendant was given to the shopkeeper as a pawn.
The shopkeeper looked at it carefully for a while, handed the jade pendant back to Wu Feng and said, "This is a treasure. Small shops dare not do this kind of business!"
"Shopkeeper, since this jade pendant is a good jade, why don't you accept this business?" Zhang Yu asked deliberately.
"With all due respect, sir, this is not something that ordinary people should own. Although you two are good-looking, you are definitely not the owner of this jade pendant. Take my advice and return the jade pendant to its owner, otherwise you will be killed.
of!"
The shopkeeper's words confirmed Zhang Yu and Wu Feng's suspicions. Although Li Pingting had already informed that the owner of this jade must be a powerful figure, Zhang Yu and Wu Feng were a little doubtful. Now that the shopkeeper said it from the mouth of the pawn shop, Zhang Yu and Wu Feng finally believed in this piece of information.
Jade is related to the imperial court.
The couple said goodbye and planned to leave the county to go to the capital to find out. The owner of the jade pendant should live in the capital. It took them five days to arrive in the capital, day and night, but as soon as they settled in an inn, Zhang Yu and Wu Feng felt that the inn
The atmosphere inside was a little unusual, and it seemed like the two of them were being followed.
The two were old friends. They had just arrived in the capital and were not familiar with the place. They had not offended anyone. Zhang Yu and Wu Feng immediately realized that it seemed to be related to the jade pendant. "Brother, is there something fishy about the pawn shop?"
"It should be their spy!"
"Then why don't they do it somewhere far away from the capital?"
"I don't understand this either. We are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. It seems that our trip to the capital this time is extremely dangerous!"
"I can't control that much anymore! Dad is ready to help eldest brother, so we have to do our best. Needless to say, eldest brother Yu gave us three hundred taels of silver. Even if we don't have any silver taels, because of the friendship between the two of us that he helped us, we still want to do it.
Help them!"
"Shh!" Zhang Yu pointed toward the door, then pulled Wu Feng toward the bed.
"Looking at how anxious you are, what time is it!"
"Have a good rest early, we have to go on a journey tomorrow!"
At this time, a gust of breeze passed by, and Zhang Yu and Wu Feng knew they had met their opponent. Based on this man's Qinggong, they felt that he was no match for him. Even if the brothers and sisters joined forces, it was hard to say whether they would be able to gain the upper hand.
"Junior sister, since he's gone, let's go explore the area, maybe we'll find some clues!"
The two people put on their night clothes, and of course Wu Feng put the jade pendant close to them. They used Qinggong to walk out of the inn from the roof. The large palaces outside the palace are either the Prime Minister's Palace or the Marquis' Palace, and the residences of various ministries and commissions are the residences of princes and ministers. The Prime Minister
As the head of the ministers, Zhang Yu decided to investigate from his palace. Although Zhang Yu subjectively felt that the matter had little to do with the prime minister, as the target of the princes and princesses, Zhang Yu still decided to take the risk and test it.
Zhang Yu asked Wu Feng to meet him on the wall and jumped into the courtyard alone. After walking around in the courtyard, he came to a larger courtyard. He pierced the window paper with his fingers and looked inside. He saw people sitting behind the tables.
A man with a long beard and an extraordinary bearing must be the prime minister of the current dynasty.
There was a person standing in front of the prime minister. He stood in front of the prime minister respectfully, with a long sword on his back. Zhang Yu couldn't hear the conversation clearly, and vaguely heard the words "Inn" and "Jade Pendant". Zhang Yu
