The young man stood by the river, he was like a bamboo that should be here.
It has joints and no leaves, so it looks more upright and a bit ruthless.
He is Mei Luowu's personal guard. Before he came to Guzhu, Tuoba Lie said that Mr. Mei can die, but he must die after you.
As long as you are still alive, Mei Luowu cannot die. He will always remember these words and will not forget them for ten years.
His name is Bamboo Jie.
It has been ten years since I came to Guzhu with Mr. Mei, and he is already the person who knows Mr. Mei best.
Ever since Lin Ye started arresting people on a large scale, Zhu Jie could tell that Mr. Mei was indeed a little uneasy.
This kind of uneasiness never appeared ten years ago.
Mr. Mei has never been a person easily emotionally unstable. There is only one hand and countless chess pieces in his world.
Mr. Mei is the hand, and the world is the chess piece.
The entire plan within Lone Bamboo was formulated by Mr. Mei. At this point, the situation is actually not that far away from being completed.
Just two days ago, Mr. Mei received news from someone sent by the general.
Lou Fan's army is already attacking southeast of Dongbo. If nothing happens, they will reach Lone Bamboo in about half a month.
If nothing unexpected happens, Emperor Jade should be intercepted in the wilderness in half a month.
When the time comes, no matter whether the person who killed Emperor Yu is a Loufan person or not, when word spreads back to the country of Dayu, the person who killed the Emperor must be a person from Loufan.
The plan to assassinate the emperor was actually perfect. If the emperor did not have a hidden concubine beside him, the emperor would have died in Yangzi Palace.
Because Mei Luowu has decided that the master of Shangyang Palace will not follow the emperor to Guzhu.
The emperor used himself as bait to force Tuoba Lie to take action.
With the emperor's plan, it is impossible that preparations were not made in Geling.
There must be someone who can take over the throne of the Emperor. Tuoba Lie can hide a son, and so can the Emperor.
However, the biggest disadvantage of the emperor hiding his heirs is that the ministers can deny them.
The emperor offended not just one Tuoba Lie, but all the officials.
At that time, all the noble families will not recognize the new king, and the emperor's preparation will become meaningless.
The only one who can shock everyone is Headmaster Shangyang.
Therefore, the real person will not leave Geling, and there must be no absolute strong man in the God-endowed realm around him.
It is impossible for the person from Yuxin Guan to come, and it is impossible for the person from Xisheng Temple to come.
Surprisingly, it was just a noble concubine.
But this does not mean that Mei Luowu's plan has failed, because assassination is a shabby method.
For a person who is good at strategy, using the assassination move shows his incompetence.
That is the most inferior strategy, and it is not even a strategy.
Zhujie thought that Mr. Mei was uneasy because he had seen everything, and because Lin Ye had let him see everything.
The sky turned slightly white again, and a new day came to the world again.
Zhujie looked back and saw that Mr. Mei had already gotten up and put on some clothes. He could see a little tiredness in his eyes.
Mr. Mei probably didn't sleep for almost the whole night, and Zhu Jie was used to it. He wouldn't sleep even if Mr. Mei didn't sleep, so he kept watch.
"Is there a trumpet sound?"
Mei Luowu asked after going out.
Zhu Jie nodded: "Yes, there was it half an hour ago. The young master's side should have already launched an attack."
Mei Luowu asked: "Have the soldiers and horses in the city been mobilized?"
Zhujie shook his head: "I haven't seen it yet."
He looked at Mei Luowu: "Sir, are you still worried?"
Mei Luo hummed and walked to the riverside to stand side by side with Zhu Jie.
He said: "Lin Ye allowed me to see too much. When I look forward, it's him, when I look to the left, to the right, and when I look behind, it's all him."
He said: "This is not right. This shows that he is hiding something."
Zhujie said: "I'm stupid and can't guess people's hearts, but I thought, since all I see is him arresting people, then what he hides can only be arresting people."
Mei Luowu frowned.
"Who is arresting people?"
Mei Luowu muttered to himself.
If we follow the normal thinking, what should be said at this time is who is the person to be arrested, not who is arresting the person.
Because it was obvious that Lin Ye was arresting people.
Mei Luowu raised his head and looked at the eastern sky. The clouds were red, and the sun peeking out from under the clouds was also red.
"bamboo."
Mei Luowu's eyes suddenly brightened.
"I missed it."
He looked at Zhujie: "Go kill some people now, the sooner the better."
Zhujie turned to look at Mei Luowu: "Who?"
An hour later, the sun had become so intense that in this early spring, it was hard to look directly at it.
Wearing a straw hat, Zhu Jie walked into an alley. He raised his head and looked forward. The door of that house was still closed.
There are wars going on outside the city and people are being arrested inside the city, so people will probably choose to go out less.
He walked forward slowly, reached out and pushed on the wooden door, but it was not unlocked.
In fact, at this moment, he knew that he was late, and Mr. Mei's premonition came true.
He pushed open the door and entered. The yard was empty and the door was open.
Without hesitation, Zhujie turned around and left.
Another half an hour later, the bamboo knot stopped at the door of the Chengxi family's shop in a remote place.
The shop is not open, but the window is open. Looking inside the house, you can see the oil lamp that is not extinguished.
Zhujie knew that he was late again.
He turned and left again.
This time, he did not continue to look for the person Mr. Mei asked him to kill, but went directly to the north of the city.
There is a bamboo forest in the north of the city, which is his favorite place. Even if the winter in Yangzicheng is extremely cold, this bamboo forest is still tenacious and lush.
He didn't know if he liked Zhulin because his surname was Zhu.
He walked to the clearing inside the bamboo forest and stopped, turned around and looked behind him.
Not long after, a carriage appeared on the road he came from, a carriage that matched the cold atmosphere in the bamboo forest.
The car stopped and Lin Ye stepped out of the car.
The young general in black brocade robes walked slowly to the opposite side of the bamboo joint.
Zhujie said: "Mr. Mei said you are a trouble. It seems that Mr. Mei is right."
Lin Ye said: "You are also a problem."
He had already followed this man who seemed to have a very aloof temperament and walked to three places.
The first one is the alley, the second one is the shop, and the third one is the bamboo forest.
But this is not where Lin Ye wants to go with him. What Lin Ye is looking for is Mr. Mei.
Zhujie said: "You have found the food, right?"
Lin Ye nodded: "I found it last night."
Zhujie sighed.
Mr. Mei started the layout ten years ago, when Lin Ye was just a few years old, so there was no way there would be such a child in this bureau from the beginning.
Lin Ye asked: "Have you discussed it?"
Zhujie shook his head: "The general said that Mr. Mei can die, but he must die after me."
He said: "I actually admire you very much, but I'm sorry, I admire the general even more."
Lin Ye hummed.
Meanwhile, the granary.
The food is in the granary.
The emperor got down from the car, then turned around and helped Concubine Wan Gui get out of the car.
In front, Yin Chongtai, the serving minister of the Ministry of War, and a group of officials were kneeling on the ground. When the emperor got out of the car, they shouted long live.
"Yin Zhongtai, come to me."
The emperor said.
Yin Chongti did not get up, but just knelt and moved over. He did not dare to get up because he knew that he was still guilty, even if he had found food.
The emperor asked: "Where is the food?"
Yin Chongti said: "At your Majesty's feet."
The grain has always been in the granary, but it has just been moved from the warehouse to the ground.
"How did you find it?"
The emperor asked.
Yin Chongti knelt there and replied: "The general said that he came to help me cover. There will be a lot of movement on the general's side, but there will be as little movement as possible on my side."
"The general said that there are not many ways to hide so much food."
"If it is to be moved, a large number of carriages and horses will be mobilized. This will definitely attract the attention of the people. It has only been ten years, and it is impossible for everyone to forget this matter."
"But even though this possibility is very small, we still need to investigate. I went to investigate. Within ten years, there was indeed a large-scale movement of carriages and horses in the granary. Even the carriages and horses of many people in the city were requisitioned."
Speaking of this, Yin Chongti raised his head and looked at the emperor: "After investigation, it was found that the granary was renovated a few years ago, so all the grain had to be transferred out. The granary was rebuilt for a month, and a month later, all the grain was transferred back.
"
He said: "I guess that the one-month renovation was just a tampering with the warehouse."
The emperor nodded.
Yin Chongti said: "I checked the place where the grain was temporarily stored and found nothing. That means the grain has really been transported back."
"The grain was transferred out a few years ago just to cover up others' eyes."
He said: "If you want to hide food, you need to ensure that the food does not get moldy. There are not many methods that can be used."
The emperor said: "Lime, charcoal and the like."
Yin Chongti leaned over: "Yes... so the general asked me to secretly investigate. Over the years, people related to a large amount of lime charcoal, especially the older ones, are homesick for their hometowns."
It will be heavier."
"But at first, I thought the food was hidden in some tunnel. Unexpectedly, it was right here in the granary."
The renovation of the granary a few years ago was carried out by Lord Guzhu who mobilized an army.
After completion, the team was transferred out of Yangzicheng, and all officials related to the matter were also transferred out.
Yin Zhongti said: "Actually, if you think about it, this matter is not very sophisticated. Three or four hundred years ago, official warehouses stored grain in cellars. After that, great progress was made in the methods of preserving grain, and they were gradually converted into above-ground granaries.
.”
The emperor hummed.
Yin Chongti said: "I have sent people to dig and have found grain."
The emperor hummed again.
Then he asked: "It seems that Lin Ye really needs your help when he said he needs your help."
Yin Chongti knelt there and was silent for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty knows that the general said that he needs help from me, but he just wants to save his life."
Because of this matter, there is actually no need for Yin Zhongtai to investigate. It would be the same for Lin Ye to arrange for Wu Lingwei's people to investigate secretly.
Lin Ye just felt that it would be a pity if someone like Yin Zhongti was punished for this.
Moreover, it was His Majesty's talents who lost, and Tuoba Lie's rebels who were happy.
The emperor smiled, of course he knew what Lin Ye meant, but he didn't say it, so he just pretended that he didn't know.
The general has retained a minister of war, and the relationship between the two will certainly be very close in the future. For the emperor, this is not a good thing.
But if the emperor doesn't say it, then he can be trusted.
Yin Chongti didn't have to say it, but he chose to say it because he knew he couldn't make any more mistakes.
"Let's get some food."
The emperor turned around and got into the car: "Gu Xiujin, ask Ximen Lie to mobilize 10,000 forbidden troops."
Yin Chongtai kept kneeling until the emperor's car drove away.
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
