Chapter seven hundred and thirty fifth hiding place
In a small room in the backyard of the wine shop, Guo Song met Du Lingqiu. His face was pale and he was half lying on the bed, with two personal guards standing beside him.
"Father-in-law, what's going on?" Guo Song asked in surprise.
Du Lingqiu said to the two guards: "Go and stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in!"
The two personal guards saluted and hurried out. Du Guqiu sighed and said: "I was careless this time and brought too few men. I was ambushed in Hanzhong and fifteen of the twenty Flying Fox Guards died.
I got help from the Hanzhong army and rushed all the way to Chang'an. As a result, I was intercepted and killed for the second time on the right bank of the Cao River to the west of Chang'an. Three warriors were killed and I myself was injured. Thanks to the desperate fight of the two warriors, I was able to escape from the enemy.
I escaped from the encirclement of ten people. I guess they also set up an ambush in my house, so I hid directly in the liquor store. They didn't expect to come here."
"Who are they that my father-in-law is talking about?" Guo Song asked.
"Who else could be there besides Hidden Sword Pavilion?"
Du Lingqiu sneered and said: "The Emperor ordered me to secretly come to Chang'an to negotiate with you, but some people don't want the Emperor to return, so they do everything possible to stop me."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "Father-in-law refers to Song Chaofeng?"
"To be precise, it should be the eunuch power group, including Song Chaofeng, Huo Xianming, Dou Wenchang, Wu Shouliang, Zhang Shang, Jiao Hope and others. They were unwilling to return to Chang'an, so they tried every means to prevent the emperor from negotiating with you. Song Chaofeng is in charge
Hidden Sword Tower, so he sent hundreds of Hidden Sword Tower warriors to assassinate me along the way."
"Why don't the eunuchs want to return to Chang'an?" Guo Song asked.
Du Lingqiu glanced at him, "Isn't it because of you? With you in Chang'an, will you tolerate them?"
Guo Song burst into laughter. This question was indeed a bit redundant.
"The Emperor asked me to ask you, what conditions do you need to allow him to return to Chang'an?"
Guo Song was silent. He knew that he would face this problem sooner or later. Li Shi also knew that this problem was difficult, so he sent his father-in-law to negotiate.
After a moment of silence, Guo Song smiled and said: "My father-in-law's most important thing now is to recover from his injuries. We will discuss this issue later. Let's go to Xingqing Palace with me first. It's not convenient to live here."
Du Lingqiu nodded and said with a smile: "I have never lived in Xingqing Palace in my life! Thanks to you, I can also have a taste of it."
Guo Song gave the carriage to Duqiu, and he followed on horseback beside the carriage. The group left the West Market and headed for Xingqing Palace.
On the way, hundreds of cavalrymen caught Guo Song. At this time, Guo Song had discovered that someone was following their carriage. When they returned to Xingqing Palace, Guo Song immediately called Wang Yue, the commander of the inner guard, and Song Tian, the leader of the Chang'an Palace of the Jin Dynasty.
Come.
"Is there any clue that Hidden Sword Pavilion is in Chang'an?" Guo Song asked straight to the point.
Wang Yue shook his head, "The internal security has not found anything yet."
"Will Chang'an Tax Supervisor Wang Yi know?" Guo Song asked again.
"I dare not mention this humble position, but they are two different ministries. Wang Yi is affiliated with the military, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion is directly in charge of the eunuch Song Chaofeng. They basically follow the same rules as the well, but the humble position can be checked."
"What about Jin Wei Mansion?"
Guo Song turned to Song Tian, "Has the Jin Palace ever had any dealings with Cangjian Pavilion?"
Song Tian thought for a moment and said, "There may be some clues."
"What clue?" Guo Song asked.
"About last year, Li Wenfeng, a special warrior of the Jinwei Mansion, met an old friend in Chang'an. Two days later, the old friend came to Li Wenfeng's inn, offered him a very high salary, and persuaded him to rejoin the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Li Wenfeng called his mother
He was seriously ill as an excuse to go home to serve his mother. When his old friend left, he left an address for him and asked Li Wenfeng to come here to find him when he returned to Chang'an."
"Where is the address?"
"Shujiang Restaurant in Xuanyangfang."
Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said to the two of them: "The head of the Dugu family came to Chang'an from Chengdu. As a result, he was ambushed and intercepted by the Zangjian Pavilion twice on the way. The head of the Dugu family was also injured. Now the Cangjian Pavilion is still looking for opportunities. I hope
You work together to eradicate this cancer from Chang'an as soon as possible."
"Follow the order!"
They both bowed together to answer.
.........
Shujiang Restaurant is located near the gate of Xuanyangfang, not far from Xue Mansion. It covers an area of about one and a half acres and is a two-story small building. It is a medium-sized restaurant.
When Chang'an was prosperous, there were thousands of restaurants like this. Although it is not as prosperous now, there are still hundreds of restaurants. Shujiang Restaurant is still an inconspicuous restaurant.
After coming out of Xingqing Palace, Song Tian began to take action. He discussed with Wang Yue that the Jin Wei Mansion would first collect intelligence, and then the inner guards would take action to annihilate them.
His Highness the King of Jin only gave them three days, and the time was very tight. Song Tian led several men with strong martial arts skills directly to Shujiang Restaurant.
Song Tian's martial arts are very average. The reason why he became the leader of Chang'an is naturally because of his excellence. He is very good at collecting and analyzing intelligence, has an amazing memory, and is resourceful. Li Xianfeng said to him last year that he
I still remember it firmly now.
Song Tian and two of his men came to Shujiang Restaurant, and a bartender greeted him enthusiastically, "You three gentlemen, welcome to the restaurant for a meal!"
Song Tian nodded, "Find a seat on the first floor."
The shopkeeper is usually on the first floor, and the personnel coming and going can be clearly seen. They found a seat against the wall, ordered seven or eight dishes, and two bottles of wine. At this time, Song Tian saw the shopkeeper of Shujiang Restaurant, who was about four years old.
He is about ten years old. He has a kind face and a smile on his face. He constantly greets the guests who come in.
It seemed that nothing would happen, so Song Tian gave his men a wink.
The two men understood and immediately started discussing loudly.
"I heard that the emperor will return to Chang'an soon."
"Fart! How is it possible that the kingdoms conquered by King Jin were given to the Southern Tang Dynasty?"
"It's absolutely true. My relative said that he was working in Xingqing Palace. He has inside information and the two parties have reached an agreement."
"Impossible, your relatives must be talking nonsense."
"How is it impossible? My relatives have inside information. You don't believe our bet!"
"Just bet, what to bet on?"
The two quarrels between the two people attracted the attention of the people nearby, and everyone immediately started talking in low voices.
The shopkeeper's face changed greatly. He hesitated, walked forward and said with a smile: "Master, are your relatives really working in Xingqing Palace?"
"Who are you?" The attendant looked at him.
"My surname is Yu, and I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant."
"It turns out to be shopkeeper Yu. I'm sorry. My relative is indeed in charge of the Xingqing Palace, and the information is quite good."
"Is the Emperor really going back to Chang'an?" the shopkeeper asked.
"My relative said that an agreement has been reached. The emperor will return to Beijing and the King of Jin will serve as prime minister for life. I think this news is quite reliable."
The attendant next to him curled his lips and said: "Shopkeeper Yu, don't listen to his bragging. His relative is just a minor steward of Xingqing Palace. How would he know this kind of news?"
"There is no smoke without fire. If there is no news, will he talk nonsense?"
The shopkeeper's eyes became more and more suspicious. He laughed twice and went back to the counter. Little did he know that someone was paying attention to his every move.
Song Tian observed extremely carefully, and shopkeeper Yu hurried over, showing that he was very interested in the news. Most shopkeepers would stay silent and listen to the sidelines, and would finally come to ask a casual question or two, but this was not because he was interested.
Instead, it reminds the drinkers to be careful of trouble coming from their mouths, but shopkeeper Yu is obviously different from other shopkeepers.
After asking, Shopkeeper Yu walked back to the counter, but his steps were heavy, showing that he was worried. Song Tian quietly observed Shopkeeper Yu, and after seeing him sitting uneasily for a while, he quietly stood up and opened a small door behind him.
Went to the backyard.
Song Tian kicked his men and winked at them. One of his men said angrily: "If you have the ability, go find the middleman now. I will make this bet with you."
"Look for it, let's go!"
The two of them pretended to be angry and left the restaurant. Everyone around them laughed. No one took such a trivial matter to heart, and the bartender didn't care either. As long as the person who ordered the food was still there, they couldn't even think about eating the Overlord meal.
About half an hour later, a subordinate and the shopkeeper walked in. The subordinate sat next to Song Tian, glanced at the shopkeeper who was settling accounts in the corner, and whispered: "The shopkeeper wrote a piece of paper
Tiao, left the restaurant, and we followed him to the Wanquan Silk and Satin Store in Dongshi. He stayed there for a while and then came back. I will report back first, Brother Wang is still watching over there!"
Song Tian nodded, he probably knew in his mind that this shopkeeper should be just a contact point. He wrote the note, obviously looking for someone who knew where the warrior was hiding. It seemed that they had found the right person when they found this shopkeeper.
, it is very likely that the task assigned by King Jin will be completed tonight in less than three days.
Song Tian paid the bill and left the restaurant. He returned directly to Xingqing Palace and patiently waited for news from another subordinate.
As soon as it got dark, another subordinate also hurried back to Xingqing Palace.
