In the room, Wang Yue, Song Tian and several of their subordinates were listening to the report of the stalker.
"The messenger was very cautious. He went out through Chunming Gate, entered the city through Mingde Gate, and then went out through Fuxia Gate. Finally, he took an ox cart to Qujiang. I followed him from a distance and found that he had entered Qujiang.
There is a garden house on the west bank of the Yangtze River. The biggest feature of that garden house is a towering tree."
Hearing this, Song Tian was secretly surprised. He winked at Wang Yue and whispered: "There is a towering tree in the garden of His Highness Prince Jin. I will report to His Highness."
Wang Yue was also a little nervous. If the people from Hidden Sword Pavilion were hiding in the lord's garden, it would be troublesome. He quickly said: "I'll go with you!"
Song Tian and Wang Yue quickly arrived in front of Guo Song's official room. An attendant reported for them and came out: "Your Highness, please come in!"
The two quickly walked into the official room, bowed and said, "See you, my lord!"
Guo Song had not gone back to rest and was writing a letter to his family in his room. He put down his pen and asked with a smile: "Is there news so soon?"
Song Tian then told what he had arranged at the Shujiang Restaurant. Guo Song nodded and said, "This is a good idea. Let them lead the way. What next?"
"The subordinate who was in charge of tracking just now came back and reported that the other party entered the garden house and said that there was a towering tree in the garden house. I was a little uneasy because of my humble duty, so I came here to report to the lord."
Only then did Guo Song understand the other party's worries and asked with a smile: "Are you worried that the other party is hiding in my garden house?"
"Exactly!"
Guo Song nodded and said: "Your worries are justified. There is indeed a towering tree in my garden, but there is not just one towering tree in the garden, but two. There is also one in Yuan Dynasty.
If it is confirmed that there are towering trees in the Yuan family's mansion, then the other party is most likely hiding in the Yuan family's garden house. There is no owner in that house anymore, so there is no need to worry about being discovered."
Wang Yue hesitated and said: "But just in case..."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "There is a guy living in my house. It arrived a few days ago and lives on a towering tree. If someone breaks into my house, it will report to me immediately, so you don't have to worry.
,"
Only then did Wang Yue realize that Mengzi had also returned. He smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. That person is most likely in the Yuan family's house. We are going to take action tonight."
Guo Song nodded and said to the two of them: "These people are desperadoes and must be killed without resorting to any means. It is best to surround them with heavy troops and kill them with crossbows. No matter how powerful they are in martial arts, they cannot escape."
Arrows pierced the sky."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "I will deploy another 10,000 cavalry to blockade the entire Qujiang River to ensure nothing goes wrong."
.........
The night was getting darker, but the lights in the inner hall of Qujiang Yuanfu Mansion were still brightly lit. Ying Caihe, the leader of Zangjian Pavilion, was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands in confusion.
Ying Caihe is also Gongsun's apprentice. Her martial arts skills are no less than Li Man's. She is about thirty years old. She is extremely beautiful and has a curvy figure that can make any man dream of her.
But she was ruthless and cruel, and countless people died in her hands. Everyone called her Pink Skull behind her back.
This time, in order to prevent Li Shi and Guo Song from reaching an agreement, the eunuchs in Beiya unanimously decided to prevent Li Shi from returning to the north at all costs.
Assassinating Du Guqiu became the top priority to prevent Li Shi from returning north. Almost the entire army of Zangjiange was dispatched. More than 500 people participated in the interception and assassination of Du Guqiu. If the Hanzhong army had not intervened to escort Du Guqiu northward, they would have already killed Du Gu.
He was killed in the Ziwu Valley at the beginning of autumn.
The Hanzhong army could not enter Guanzhong, which gave Zangjian Pavilion a second chance. Unfortunately, Du Guqiu escaped and finally watched helplessly as he entered Xingqing Palace.
The news brought to her by the owner of Shujiang Restaurant today disrupted her plan.
Of course, Ying Caihe didn't quite believe the news from the owner of Shujiang Restaurant. He only entered Xingqing Palace at noon. How could he reach an agreement at night? Even if he reached an agreement, it would never be spread.
It is estimated that someone saw the coming of the Duolingqiu Festival and made up the gossip.
What Ying Caihe is worried about is not this, but how she should assassinate Du Lingqiu?
This time Duduqiu's visit to Chang'an is related to the vital interests of the Beiya eunuch group. If they really reach some kind of compromise, he will not be able to go back and explain?
Ying Caihe sighed. She felt that she had been living like a dog her whole life. She was Li Man's dog a few years ago, and now she has become the eunuch's dog. When will she be free?
At this moment, Ying Caihe faintly heard a scream. The sound was very low, but it made all the hairs on her body suddenly stand up. She pulled out her sword and jumped into the air, hiding behind a big pillar, 'Pfft
! Puff! Puff! A dozen crossbow arrows shot through the air and nailed the place where she stood just now.
A dark shadow appeared faintly on the wall outside the inner hall, and Ying Caihe shouted: "There is a sneak attack, everyone get up!"
But it was already too late. There were screams and the sound of crossbows coming from the surrounding houses.
At this time, Ying Caihe could no longer take care of her men. She climbed up along the big pillar, jumped hard, and broke through the roof. She swept towards the southeast without touching the ground, and the sound of breaking through the air continued to be heard behind her.
.
Ying Caihe did not dare to look back at all and tried her best to escape. She knew there was a place where she might be able to escape. She ran close to the roof and ran hundreds of steps away in an instant. A big tree appeared in front of her and she volleyed into the air.
Dou jumped in. When she landed, she suddenly felt a sharp energy behind her. It was the ultimate life and death. Her sword skills were stimulated to the peak, and her body flashed like a ghost. But no matter how she moved, the sharp energy was still behind her.
She can't get rid of it.
She was so horrified that she knelt down, a square-shaped painted halberd pressed against the back of her neck, and a cold voice said: "If you move again, you will definitely die!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin!" Ying Caihe shouted out in a low voice.
"You are very smart and have quick reactions, but I don't know if you can be of use to me."
Ying Caihe threw away his sword, turned over and knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Ying Caihe is willing to do the hard work of His Majesty the King of Jin!"
The person who captured Ying Caihe was Guo Song. He knew that the only place for Ying Caihe to escape was his own mansion, so he waited in his own mansion, and as expected, he was waiting for him.
Guo Song took out a pill of pill from his arms and handed it to her, "Swallow it!"
Ying Caihe took the elixir without hesitation and swallowed it in one gulp. Guo Song's eyes showed admiration. This Ying Caihe was not only extremely skilled in martial arts, but also able to judge the situation. She was a useful person. He believed that she could realize her plan.
"Follow me!"
Guo Song put away his halberd and strode towards the back hall, followed by Ying Cai and Guaiguai.
From birth to death, and from death to life again, in just a cup of tea, Ying Caihe experienced the most thrilling turning point in her life. She actually felt like she was in a dream. Half an hour ago she was still considering whether to assassinate her.
Prince Jin, but now she has become His Highness the lackey of Prince Jin.
Although she picked up the sword again, it seemed that she could kill King Jin from behind with one sword, but His Highness King Jin didn't care about the sword in her hand at all. He saw through everything about him.
If he gave her the chance to assassinate her, would she really dare to do it? Ying Caihe asked herself, in fact, she didn't dare, she didn't even have the idea at all. Guo Song's dominating demeanor and the ability to control her life and death
The strong pressure actually gave her an enlightenment like a sudden enlightenment.
In recent years, Ying Caihe has been controlled and humiliated by the eunuch Song Chaofeng, which has plunged her life into darkness. She is aggrieved, hesitant, and doesn't know where to go?
''I wonder if it can be used by me?''
Guo Song's words made her suddenly see the light in the darkness. Isn't the tall and majestic young man in front of her, the king who controls the fate of thousands of people, the master she has been looking for for many years?
Guo Song did not kill her, but gave her the opportunity to be loyal, which made Ying Caihe completely recognize himself, which made her burst into tears of gratitude. She willingly knelt at his feet and bowed her head like a dog.
At this moment, Ying Caihe suddenly found that he was conquered by this powerful man, not for money or power, but because he was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
Guo Song sat down in the back hall, Ying Cai and Guaiguai knelt at his feet. Guo Song glanced at her and asked, "Are you Li Man's junior sister?"
"I am her senior sister, she is the thirteenth mother, and I am the twelfth mother. Although I am a few years younger than her, I got started earlier than she did."
"You have practiced the nine sword styles well. You are on par with Li Man. That's why you were able to escape from the tight siege."
At this point, Guo Song's voice turned cold, "The master raised you, but you betrayed the master with her."
Ying Caihe lowered his head with shame on his face, and said after a while: "I advise her not to kill them all, so that the disciples of Tianlai Lefang can survive."
"So you still have merit?"
"I'm just stating the facts."
"Forget it, since you have betrayed Master, I will not treat you as a fellow disciple. You can do things for me! But I will not give you anything, power, wealth, nothing."
"I am willing to serve Your Highness, even if I die for Your Highness, I am willing to do so!"
"This change is too fast!" Guo Song sneered.
Ying Caihe shook his head, "Working for the eunuchs, the humiliation in my heart is indescribable. But working for His Highness, I feel a sense of belonging. I only regret that I didn't go to Zhangye."
Guo Song raised her chin and stared at her beautiful face. From her eyes, he saw a kind of humility, a kind of pleading from the heart, longing to be pitied by him.
Guo Song felt the pleasure of conquering a woman. He had experienced this feeling of conquest with Min Qiu before. Looking at the beautiful and enchanting woman in front of him, she seemed to be a rose that he could pick by himself. Guo Song's heart suddenly surged.
Another uncontrollable desire.
"You come with me!"
Guo Song stood up and walked to the back room. Ying Caihe suddenly understood. She was surprised, happy, and anxious. She finally stood up softly and weakly, following Guo Song like a sheep.
