"After that, this force seemed to continue to make trouble. We turned from the light to the dark, and got some clues. Recently, this force seems to have made some moves again, and has even contacted us." The middle-aged man said, taking it out of his sleeve.
A letter, presented with both hands.
Cao Yiyan took it, unfolded it and frowned even more: "Join forces?"
"Do you know who this force is?"
"I can't find anything out. Although I got some clues from the light to the dark, I only vaguely learned that it seems to have some unclear relationship with the prince back then."
"You also know that now is different from before. For the sake of the great cause, we cannot reveal our identity, so we can only find so much."
"Is it related to the crown prince back then?" Cao Yiyan was even more vigilant. The prince back then was recognized by both the government and the public. It is said that the reason why he can ascend the throne now is because of his "good grandson". He didn't want the prince to die in the second year after he ascended the throne.
.
Related to this, this power cannot be underestimated.
Cao Yiyan thought for a moment, but still couldn't make up his mind: "Ignore it for now. Let's see how Prince Dai's palace responds. I always feel that something is wrong with the situation."
Seeing that the lord was hesitant, the middle-aged man stopped trying to persuade him and smiled slightly. He saw someone making a gesture, knowing that Ge Sheng was coming and no one was following him, so he called out: "Come here and tell Dong's family."
"Yes!" Ge Sheng responded with his hands down.
Daiwangfu
Outside the small flower hall, the lights were dim and silent. The figures of the guards could be seen in the corridor. They were not fixed in one place and occasionally moved around.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. The palace guards have been trained and taught martial arts, and they have gradually become more and more popular. They are all strong, agile, and strong. Even if someone wants to get close, they will be caught before they can get there.
.
Zheng Huai, dressed as a guard of the Prince's Palace, was also among these people, holding a sword on his waist and accompanying them.
He has been in Dai Wang's palace for some time, but he has never been as important as others. This time he was transferred to a guard and guarded the flower hall together with the ordinary palace guards. Even if Dai Wang didn't trust him, he was allowed to be such a confidant.
In terms of trust, I rarely brought him to the front in the past.
"It must be because those guys stole the limelight that I was forgotten by the king and couldn't get close to him!" Zheng Huai felt resentful when he thought of the few outstanding people who entered the palace at the same time.
Resentment turned into resentment, he still had to do what he had to do. Holding his breath, he wanted to show his face in front of the King of Dai and show his loyalty, so that he could get close to the King of Dai and get more useful information.
Just when Zheng Huai was thinking this, he suddenly saw the sound of people. In a blink of an eye, he saw four people including Ye Taoist, Jian Qu, Cen Rubai and Wen Xunpeng coming over talking and laughing.
The nail-like guards immediately saluted, and Zheng Huai was no exception. The four of them simply nodded and entered boldly.
"What happened?"
I saw that some of the most popular people in the government were here. This kind of thing has happened before, but usually when big things happen, all the staff in the government are summoned at the same time. What happened today?
Zheng Huai felt something was wrong and couldn't help but feel shocked.
But now he is a guard. Although he is frightened and suspicious, he can't follow him rashly. It's not that he can't follow him at all, but he has always been cautious and doesn't want to take risks until he has to. Although this kind of character will make him miss some opportunities, he can
Live longer.
"Chirp."
Just when Zheng Huai was thinking this, he suddenly heard the cry of a fox. He lowered his gaze slightly, and sure enough he saw two foxes, one big and one small, walking struttingly after the last person entered. They were wearing special clothes, and they looked clean.
cute.
I thought that King Dai and Princess Dai had two foxes as pets. I had only heard of them before but never seen them. Now it seems that these are the two foxes?
They moved lightly and started running as soon as they entered the door. Like two white shadows, they rushed directly in front of Zheng Huai.
Perhaps because he was running fast, the little fox behind him dropped something in his front pocket and fell into the grass. None of the guards nearby saw it, and Zheng Huai didn't make a sound when he spotted it.
After a while, the two people next to him walked away. Zheng Huai walked to the place where the things were dropped, pretended to tidy up his clothes, picked them up and put them into his sleeves.
When I weighed it, it weighed about five taels. This piece of silver was not small.
"Human beings are really inferior to foxes. They are just little beasts, but they can still save money?" Zheng Huai muttered.
"I don't know why so many people came here today." Zheng Huai thought like this, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "If I can find out this secret and send the information back, can I make a great contribution?"
?”
"Wealth comes from danger. I have always sought stability in the past. I missed many opportunities and made my master dissatisfied. This is not acceptable."
"I missed it again this time. When King Dai falls, I, the person lurking in King Dai's palace, will naturally be of no use. It will be too late to regret by then."
"Besides, since I am a guard, isn't this opportunity like a gift from God? It would be my fault if I don't take it!"
When I think about it together, I can no longer suppress it.
Although there were some guards nearby, they were guarding against outsiders. The guards were allowed to patrol from time to time. Zheng Huai pretended to be patrolling and slowly approached the flower hall. As expected, he was only glanced at by a few people and had no objection.
Zheng Huai's palms were a little sweaty, but his ears were perked up and he listened carefully.
He sneaked up to a position where he could hear the sounds inside, and deliberately walked to and stood under the shade of a tree. Anyone who saw him would probably think that he was sheltering from the sun temporarily.
I heard someone inside say: "Your Majesty, killing one person as a warning to hundreds of people and destroying sixteen shrines has been effective. Most of the shrines are afraid of the power of heaven. Although they hate it, they have to surrender for the sake of their own survival and continuation. They have contacted us and want to
Surrendered."
Listening to this voice, it seems to be the newly hired Wen Xunpeng.
One person smiled and said: "This is a good thing. Now we have to change from domineering to kingly and appease the temple. Once the entire temple in the capital surrenders, the strength of my acting prince's palace will be greatly increased!"
The entire shrine surrendered, and the strength of the Daiwang Palace increased significantly?
When Zheng Huai heard this, his heart moved. Even people who have not read many books understand this. The shrine has millions of believers in Beijing, and the pilgrims inside are hiding dragons and crouching tigers. If they really surrender, it will be a big force. The weak foundation of the Prince's Palace will be afraid.
It can be made up for immediately, and it will suddenly become the palace with the greatest potential in the capital.
This matter is a big one, and what is being discussed inside is the gathering of forces. If it is sent back in a while, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the king. He will definitely take the credit for this!
I heard someone inside say: "However, although the overall situation has been decided, we must be careful to prevent others from picking the peaches when the fruits are ripe."
These words made Zheng Huai's eyes shine even more. At this moment, he heard a cough, and when he looked around, he saw a somewhat doubtful look in his eyes - there was something wrong with his standing position.
Zheng Huai smiled and quickly went back and stood up straight.
