Chapter 398 Encirclement 2
The next day, just as the east was white, the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guard had already assembled and began to set off.
In the sky of the capital, the sky of the capital is constantly hovering, they are like guardians of the capital, staring closely at the sky in front of them.
At the intersection leading to the hunting ground and the village, Zhao Yuan and Cang Wushuang have been guarding them separately.
In an inconspicuous house in the capital, a man hurriedly knocked on the door and ran in, saying, "Hurry up, send the message down, the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards have big moves, let them deal with it with caution!"
One person immediately came up and asked, "Do you know why?"
The visitor gasped and said, "I don't know, but it's a good idea to be careful. No one knows what their purpose is. Our insider did not send any news!"
The man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed, it's better to be careful!"
As he said that, he turned his head and said to the person behind him: "Immediately, let them be careful and not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of ten thousand!"
During the clearance a few days ago, several secret contact strongholds in the capital had been destroyed, and there were less than three left. Now the imperial guards and the Jinyiwei suddenly came out. The reason is unknown now, but you must be careful.
A moment later, a pigeon flew into the sky from the backyard of the house, flew towards the distance, and soon turned into a dark shadow.
The people in the yard looked at the dove and really wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly, something surprised them happened. In the sky, a small black shadow quickly rushed towards the dove. The dove seemed to be instinctively conscious of the danger and flew to the side. However, with almost no use to struggle, the dove was caught. Only then did the few people see clearly that the thing that rushed down was a fierce eagle.
"How could there be an eagle?"
The man said in surprise, looking up at the sky, and suddenly he found several people circling in the sky.
He suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately said, "Let all the pigeons be released and leave here!"
These eagles are absolutely impossible to appear out of thin air. It can only prove that they are all raised and well-trained. If they release pigeons one by one, they will become their breakfast. However, if all the pigeons are released, they will definitely be discovered here. People from the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang will come immediately, and this stronghold can only be completely given up.
His order was quickly executed, and several pigeons flew into the sky in an instant. It was not easy to train a carrier pigeon. Moreover, some time ago, the Jinyiwei thoroughly investigated that any pigeon raising would be listed as a major object of suspicion. These pigeons were also preserved in that situation and were extremely precious.
After a few pigeons flew into the sky, they immediately flew towards the south. The eagles in the sky had already found the pigeons rising into the sky, and several pounced down together.
After letting go of the pigeons, they didn't have time to clean up and immediately planned to go out, but just as they walked out, a team of Dongchang's characters appeared in front of them!
"Take it!"
The leader of the Fanzi team drew out his weapons and shouted loudly.
The men all drew out their weapons, and immediately picked up the crossbow in front of them.
"Swoosh..."
The crossbow arrows headed straight for them with a sharp whistling sound.
"ah……"
A scream suddenly came, and a person could not dodge at all, and was instantly pierced by several crossbow arrows.
"retreat!"
The remaining people immediately retreated to the house, closed the wooden door, and put down the door bolt.
"Dole…doles…"
There was a sound of crossbow arrows shooting on the door panel outside. The wooden boards of this door were already a bit thin, and the crossbow arrows shot through the wooden door directly.
The people in the house knew very well that this thin wooden door could not stop the Dongchang scholars. They immediately retreated back into the house and ran towards the back door. But before they arrived, they heard a clamor. The back door had been broken and a large group of scholars had already entered.
"Today we are already doomed. The young master treats me well and we must not let him down. Instead of falling into the hands of those Dongchang men and suffering all the torture, it is better to give yourself some fun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining people present looked at me, looked at you, bowed to him, and said, "Then let's take a step first!"
After saying that, they drew their swords across their necks and waved them.
Several people slowly fell to the ground.
The speaker looked at the few people lying on the ground and said, "Brothers Gao Yi, see you again in the underworld!"
He held the knife in his backhand and stabbed it into his lower abdomen.
The moment he fell down, the Dongchang man had already broken into the door. Seeing that the people in the house committed suicide, he immediately stepped forward to test his breath, but found that they had all died and no one was alive.
Looking at the dead people, the leader of the Dongchang Actor was extremely angry and shouted: "Search it for me!"
Dongchang Fanzi immediately began to search the house, but no one was found. After all, this place had been carefully searched a few days ago.
...
"What happened!"
Another stronghold noticed the pigeons in the sky that were culled by eagles. This person was named Zuo Mucheng, one of Zuo Mingyu's confidants. Compared with the Japanese pirates who were careful to avoid searching by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the Zuo family, one of the four major martial arts families, has its own industry in the capital, which is natural. Moreover, it is still a legitimate industry and is not afraid of the verification of Jinyiwei or Dongchang.
He was also one of the few people who knew Zuo Mingyu's plan. Seeing that the Japanese pirate strongholds lurking in the capital were removed one by one, he could only see it in his eyes and was anxious, and he did not dare to take action. The cloth shop where he was is Zuo Mingyu's most important stronghold, and it was impossible for him to expose himself to save a few Japanese pirates.
He was not aware of the imperial court's plan, but his shop was located in the most prosperous street in the entire capital, and it was close to the palace, and every move of the palace was under his surveillance.
This morning, the Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards could be called "Full Out". He didn't know their purpose, but he found that a group of pigeons flying out of his secret stronghold were actually preyed by eagles in the sky. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. There were few eagles in the capital. It was obvious that these eagles were raised and well-trained!
The reason why Zuo Mingyu's confidant is Zuo Mucheng, who is also smart. He has already realized that things are not simple. He immediately turned around and entered the shop, entered the back room, and said, "Let's go immediately, one of them goes to the south of the city base, carefully find out what happened! The other person goes to the young master and report it to the young master! Please send someone to the hunting ground immediately!"
Although he also has a pigeon, he dare not use it indiscriminately now. Not only are there eagles in the sky, but once they are released, they may be targeted by others. This stronghold must not be discovered by anyone.
After saying that, he turned around and came to the store, but his face showed a sadness. Now the situation is getting worse and worse for him, and some of them have completely deviated from the original plan.
Although the gates of the capital were still under martial law, they did not have the ability to enter and exit after a little check. The sent people could easily arrive at Zuo Mingyu's mansion and reported the news to Zuo Mingyu.
When Zuo Mingyu heard this, his face changed and said, "What did you say? The Jinyiwei and the Imperial Guards also left the capital? Do you know where they went?"
The person who came said: "I have sent someone to come, but no news has come yet!"
"No need to send someone!"
Murong Yu's voice came, and then he strode in, waved his hand, signaled the visitor to go down, bowed to Zuo Mingyu, and said, "Their purpose should be the hunting ground and the Japanese pirates hiding in the village!"
Zuo Mingyu's face changed and she said, "How do you know!"
Immediately, his face became even more ugly and he said, "Is it you?"
Murong Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it was the old slave who leaked this news to the Jinyiwei. Obviously, the court believed their words, so he used such a large-scale force."
Zuo Mingyu looked at Murong Yu in front of him with some disbelief. He had advised him many times, but even so, he would still fulfill his orders. However, he never expected that he would betray him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solemn. Zuo Mingyu was silent for a while before asking, "Why?"
Murong Yu said: "I don't want the young master to make mistakes again and again, nor do I want the Zuo family to be destroyed like this!"
Zuo Mingyu didn't know where the anger came from, and almost said in a roaring voice: "The Zuo family has been destroyed long ago! What does the Zuo Sect look like now? Follow the Bai family's horse leader? Even the Liu family can bully my Zuo family. If this continues, who knows the Zuo family in this world, and who can't even have one of the four famous families? "
After venting, Zuo Mingyu sat on the chair and gasped.
Murong Yu said: "Old I know the young master's idea, but if the Zuo family wants to rise, we have many ways. The young master cannot complete it. There are also the young master's son and the grandson of the young master. The ancestors of the Zuo family have struggled for several generations to make the Zuo family proud of the world and become one of the four major families in the world. The young master's talent is not inferior to his ancestors at all. As long as he has determination, it will only be a matter of time before the Zuo Cult rises! Now the young master's method is too risky!"
Zuo Mingyu said angrily: "What do you know? The so-called wealth and honor are in danger! As long as the plan goes well, the Zuo Sect will rise at the fastest speed. Then, let alone the other three families, even the entire world will follow my Zuo family! And how could this young master's plan fail!"
Murong Yu said, "But the young master has to admit that the first plan has failed, and the Japanese pirates sneaking into the capital were almost wiped out overnight. And the young master can imagine what the consequences will be if they are leaked!"
Zuo Mingyu said: "Of course I know that when one person does things and one person is in charge, I will not implicate the entire Zuo family!"
Murong Yu shook his head and said, "Young Master, in the eyes of the court, you are either alone, you are the Zuo family. If the court knows it, it is no different from treason. The Zuo family faces the crime of killing the nine clans. Do you think the court will let anyone of the Zuo Cult?"
For an emperor of the dynasty, whether he is a fool or a wise ruler, there is only one thing they cannot tolerate the most, that is treason! The court will never be ruthless in targeting those who rebel, and will definitely eradicate the roots.
The Zuo Cult now may still survive, but for the Zuo family, as long as there is someone there, the Zuo family still has a chance to revive. However, once the Zuo family is charged with the crime of treason, the entire Zuo family will no longer exist, and revive will become an empty talk.
Murong Yu saw Zuo Mingyu's plan and was anxious. Zuo Mingyu was simply the bet of the entire Zuo family. The key is that this bet may not be possible.
Zuo Mingyu's body shook, but he still refused to admit defeat. He was silent for a moment, waved his hand, waved his hand weakly, and said, "You go!"
Murong Yu said in surprise: "Young Master..."
Zuo Mingyu said: "From now on, you will no longer be a member of the Zuo family!"
Murong Yu said: "What the young master means to let the old slave leave the Zuo family?"
Zuo Mingyu nodded and said, "Yes, you are one of the famous Seven Saints in the world. You were originally famous in the world. The reason why you were willing to stay in the Zuo family was because you agreed to your grandfather. My grandfather has passed away for more than ten years. In fact, your promise has been completed with his death. You have worked hard in the Zuo family over the years. Now it is time to leave the Zuo family and give you freedom!"
Murong Yu was silent for a moment, took a breath, bowed to Zuo Mingyu, and said helplessly: "Take care, my son, I will say goodbye!"
Zuo Mingyu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go. From now on, the Zuo family has nothing to do with you. I hope you will not interfere with the affairs of the Zuo family!"
Murong Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door of the room with a little loneliness. The sun had risen outside, but for Murong Yu, the sky in front of him was filled with haze.
The room became quiet again. Zuo Mingyu sat alone on the chair, silent for a while, and immediately said: "Come here, send someone to the hunting ground and the village immediately, telling them that the imperial army is coming, and let them escape quickly and not fight!"
The defeat in the capital has caused the Japanese pirates to lose more than a thousand troops. If they fail here again, the Japanese pirates will never believe in themselves, and they may even break up with them. The trust they have finally established will be destroyed!
Zuo Mingyu absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen!
As for Murong Yu, Zuo Mingyu knew very well that he had indeed leaked the hunting ground plan to the Jinyiwei, but he would not reveal who the person in charge was behind the scenes, nor would he betray him! So he was not defeated now, but he still had the power to fight. As long as the Japanese pirates could escape, he would preserve his strength and wait for the time to ripe and he still had a chance to make a comeback.
Chapter completed!
