Li Zongfeng took a sip of tea and suddenly said: "The reason why we didn't come to the door openly, but came secretly, is because we don't want to cause trouble to that boy Wang Junlin."
Chen Danying was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, his expression condensed, he hesitated, and said: "Master, the assassination of the Sui Prince tonight was not carried out by the Nanhua Club, right?"
Li Zongfeng stared at Chen Danying and said expressionlessly: "Of course it was the Nanhua Club. Do you want to say why I didn't tell you in advance?"
Thoughts flashed in Chen Danying's mind and she said: "I am a saint of the Nanhua Society. All the people of the Nanhua Society in the capital are under my command. Why didn't the leader of the Nanhua Society tell me about such a big move?"
"The Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty has a very good relationship with the young Wang Junlin. Let me tell you this, you dare to say that you will not tell Wang Junlin. And after Wang Junlin knew about it, how could he let us assassinate the Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty?" Li Zongfeng asked in return.
Chen Danying sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, Chen Danying said: "Who is responsible for this assassination? Now that the assassination failed, what will be the next action?"
Li Zongfeng said: "The leader of the association came to the capital in person, so naturally he will be personally responsible. As for what actions will be taken later, I don't know."
Chen Danying frowned tightly and said: "Brother came to the capital in person. This is too risky. If the news is leaked, the Sui Emperor will definitely hunt down eldest brother at all costs."
Li Zongfeng sighed and said: "Your eldest brother is also impatient. Although the power of the Nanhua Society has been secretly developing in recent years, the Yang family has become more and more stable. It will not be easy for the Chen Dynasty to restore the country. Recently, the Sui Emperor
There was a lot of tension with the Guanlong nobles over the matter of moving the capital. The prince and the King of Qi were also fighting secretly. There was an undercurrent in Kyoto. Your eldest brother thought this was a good opportunity to cause civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, so he came to the capital in person and wanted to
I did something, but unexpectedly, the assassination plan that I thought was foolproof was ruined by that kid Wang Junlin."
Chen Danying said helplessly: "The prince and the prince were traveling together without covering up. Couldn't the spies inside the meeting find out? How could the prince be killed with the prince accompanying him?"
Li Zongfeng did not answer Chen Danying's words, but suddenly said: "Your eldest brother wants to see you."
Chen Danying had already anticipated Li Zongfeng's words and said: "Master, when will you meet me? Is there any arrangement for the location?"
Li Zongfeng said: "The location is Jiangnan Tea House, and the time is tomorrow at noon. Your elder brother doesn't believe that kid Wang Junlin, so he specifically asked you not to tell Wang Junlin anything."
Chen Danying said expressionlessly: "Master, don't worry, I will never tell Wang Lang about my eldest brother's coming to the capital."
After a pause, Chen Danying said again: "But my eldest brother arranged for someone to assassinate the prince tonight. The blue guards will definitely come out to investigate the matter. With the ability and power of the blue guards, I am worried that Nanhua will be found out soon."
Yes, when the time comes my eldest brother..."
Before Chen Danying could finish speaking, Li Zongfeng said: "Don't worry, your eldest brother has another identity when he comes to the capital this time. Even if the guards in blue find Nanhua Hui, your eldest brother will not be exposed. Besides, it's not like Wang Junlin doesn't know who you are.
The Holy Lady of the Nanhua Society, could it be that she would really disregard your feelings and arrest people from the Nanhua Society in the capital?"
Chen Danying sighed, but she felt extremely embarrassed in her heart. On one side was her only relative in the world, her biological brother, and on the other side was her most beloved, her husband. She was caught in the middle and felt nothing but pain.
"Master, Junior Sister, I will arrange for someone to prepare a guest room for you. You can rest in the mansion tonight!" Chen Danying had a lot of thoughts in her mind. At this time, she no longer had the intention to talk to Chen Danying and Su Meier.
Li Zongfeng and Su Meier also knew that Chen Danying was feeling uncomfortable at this time, so they were taken to the guest room by the maid of Qin'an Palace. However, Chen Danying sat here without sleeping all night, waiting for Wang Junlin to come back.
…
…
The night was getting late, Jiangnan Tea House had closed down, but the backyard was still brightly lit. There were several people sitting in a living room in the middle. In the middle sat a man with a dignified appearance, in his thirties, with fair skin and a good figure.
Average height, with particularly bright eyes.
If there were two ministers from the Ministry of Civil Affairs here, they would find that this was Dou Xing'an, the county lieutenant of Heqiao County, Hangzhou, Jiangnan, who went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on official business during the day.
Of course Dou Xing'an is just a pseudonym, but his real identity is Chen Yin, the former crown prince of the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, he was escorted to Daxing City by Yang Su as a prisoner and lived in the capital for more than ten years.
In the early years, the Sui Dynasty arranged spies to monitor him tightly, and his every move was restricted. However, as time went by, people gradually forgot about the Chen Dynasty, and the monitoring of Chen Yin became increasingly relaxed.
In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, he has become an ordinary civilian and no one pays attention to him anymore.
It is now the second year of Daye. According to the government files, he should have died of illness in the 20th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign. In fact, he did not die. Instead, he changed his name to Dou Xing'an and was active in the Jiangnan area. He changed his identity and became the Hangzhou River.
The Zhengbapin County Lieutenant of Qiao County.
Chen Yin never forgot his homeland. In the twelfth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he founded a school called Nanhua School, which specialized in teaching etiquette to the Han people in the Southern Dynasties.
He used the exchange of etiquette as a cover to contact many old Chen Dynasty officials and wealthy families. Gradually, they came to have a common goal. When he was released from surveillance in the seventeenth year of the founding of the emperor, they officially established Nanhua.
Hui means the Southern Chinese Association, which takes the restoration of the Chen Dynasty as its own mission, and Chen Yin serves as the leader.
After several years of development, their power has gradually expanded, mainly using business as a cover. They have power in Hangzhou, Huzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Luoyang and the capital. This Jiangnan Tea House is actually one of their strongholds in the capital.
one.
The person sitting first on the lower left side of Chen Yin is a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich body, dressed as a businessman, who looks very smart and capable, and has a dark complexion. This Jiangnan teahouse is the property in his name. This man
He is also an important figure in the South China Society in the capital, and is also in contact with the saint Chen Danying.
Sitting on the right side of Chen Yin is a middle-aged man with scars on his face, seven feet tall, holding a sword in his arms, and looking a little pale and tired. This man's name is Zhang Zhongjian, and he has worshiped in the mountains of Qinling since he was a child.
He is a teacher of a different person. He has traveled all over the world in recent years, and his swordsmanship has reached an extremely advanced level. An ordinary master who has broken the power is definitely not his opponent. If he participates in the martial arts guild's free list, he will definitely be ranked in the top ten.
Next to this man sat an old man in his fifties. He was none other than Wang Kun, the counselor beside Yang Liang, the former king of Han Dynasty. After Yang Liang was killed by Wang Junlin, Gao Ying took control of Bingzhou. He met in Bingzhou in Nanhua.
Under the protection of a master, he escaped from Taiyuan City with his son. Gao Ying sent pursuers to hunt him everywhere. In desperation, he killed a woodcutter, changed his clothes, beat the woodcutter's face to pieces, and escaped by pretending to be dead.
, the pursuers mistakenly thought that he was dead, so they cut off the woodcutter's head and sent it to Gao Ying.
Wang Yu fled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, returned to the old home of the Nanhua Society, hid in Chen Yin's mansion, and served as an aide by his side. This time Chen Yin took many masters of the Nanhua Society to the capital, and also used two men in the Sui army.
It was his suggestion and plan to assassinate Prince Yang Zhao.
