The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"What are you talking about?" Hearing Wang Meng's words, Zhu Xuanqi was the one who was most surprised. He was even more surprised than Zhang Fan who knew what was going to happen. Now he can pretend to be surprised. Outsiders," after saying this, even Zhu Xuanqi had drunk a lot before, but now he is sobered up a lot, apparently woken up by fright.

Speaking of it, it is not to blame that Zhu Xuanqi lost the dignity of a prince and made a fuss. It is because he has been on the throne for more than ten years, let alone more than ten years, even if he is a prince. At that time, he had never encountered such a thing, and now he heard Wang Meng say that an uninvited guest came into the inner courtyard of the palace, so why not be surprised.

"What about people?" Zhang Fan "behaved" very well at this time. After being surprised for a while, he calmed down, looked at Wang Meng and asked in a low voice, "Isn't he still here?"

"No," Wang Meng shook his head and said, "I'm not here anymore, I don't know where I'm going now, but I'm sure that I never left the palace, or I should say that I just came to the palace."

"This..." Wang Meng's words once again surprised Zhu Xuanqi, and it was the same when he thought about it. After all, he was already surprised when he heard someone sneaking into the palace before, but the next moment he heard Wang Meng say The other party just came in. In fact, the news Wang Meng told was nothing compared to the previous ones. It was just because Zhu Xuanqi couldn't recover from the previous shock for a while. Wang Meng was naturally a little surprised by what he said next.

"My lord, don't panic," Zhang Fan quickly comforted, "We are all here now, and we will definitely keep your lord safe. By the way, Wang Meng, how many people are there?"

"I only heard one person just now," Wang Meng said, "but judging by his appearance, it doesn't look like he is coming to assassinate the prince. If it is an assassin, he will not come in and hear the movement or see the candlelight. His figure is exposed, but this person is different, but he came to check it out, I am afraid, his purpose should not be the prince, but someone else, or something, "

"My lord, is there anyone in this palace who has enmity with the outsiders?" Zhang Fan immediately turned his head and asked Zhu Xuanqi, "Or is there something in this palace that is quite precious, so that outsiders know about it?"

"How is this possible?" Zhu Xuanqi immediately shook his head when he heard Zhang Fan's words, and said, "This is the palace of the king. If anyone has enmity with outsiders, it is not clear, but just now Wang Qianhu also Having said that, it seems that the person who came in doesn't look like an assassin, so I'm afraid it's for something, but I don't know what is the most valuable thing in this palace, and how can outsiders know the things in the palace? learned, "

"Could it be that the people in the mansion did it," Zhang Fan said as if talking to himself.

"I don't think so," Wang Meng said, "If someone in the palace can do it and have this kind of skill, it must be a guard in the palace, but the guards in the palace have to patrol every night. God found that something was missing, and when the time comes to find out who was not patrolling at the time, wouldn't this reveal the truth?"

"Then maybe someone here colluded with outsiders to make it." Zhu Xuanqi has calmed down a lot now, and his thoughts have returned. Naturally, he can start to analyze the problem. After Wang Meng's words came out, he immediately thought of it. Another possibility came up immediately.

"What the prince said is naturally possible," Wang Meng said, "but it is also possible. This matter has nothing to do with the people in the palace. This is an opportunity to make a fortune. Secondly, even if you don’t know what valuable items are in the palace, it’s okay. After all, this is the palace. If you think about it as an outsider, you may think that there must be something of great value in the palace. is.

"However, regardless of whether this person is an outside thief or an inside thief, he is definitely familiar with the situation in the inner courtyard of the palace. The inner courtyard is not too big, but it is not small. Normally, two guards are enough. But there are two people, one is on the east side and the other is on the west side. After all, there are too few people. If you have to patrol everywhere, there will naturally be gaps. In this way, others will take advantage of the loopholes, but you also need to know how the two patrol here. just work.

"Then what should we do now?" Although Zhu Xuanqi had regained his composure, the situation in front of him still made him a little bit overwhelmed. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to turn to the person in front of him for help.

"Don't panic, my lord," Zhang Fan said, "Liang Chao, you stay here, Wang Meng, go and see what's going on, who are they, how many are there, and what are you going to do? Capture him, if there is more than one opponent, then you have to deal with it carefully,"

"Yes," Wang Meng replied, and left. Speaking of which, he and Liang Chao came in without weapons. After all, this is the palace, but even though Wang Meng was unarmed, he was not afraid at all. The other three present did not care about this.

"My lord," seeing Wang Meng leaving, Zhang Fan turned his head and said to Zhu Xuanqi, "Now it's safe to have Liang Chao here, but although there is Wang Meng over there, I don't know how many people there are. I mean , should the guards in the palace come over to help, isn't Zhao guards here now?"

"You're right," Zhu Xuanqi naturally agreed, and was about to call someone over immediately.

"My lord, wait a minute," Zhang Fan said, "It's better to keep your voice down about this matter, not because you're afraid of alarming the thieves. In fact, the thieves are now in the inner courtyard of the palace. If it will hurt the prince’s family, then it’s not good.”

"Master Zhang is right, but this king was negligent," Zhu Xuanqi nodded immediately, and called the maid outside the door to come in.

The maid didn't know what happened, and thought that Zhu Xuanqi called them for some order, but when they heard that they were asked to call Zhao Zijie, the two of them didn't know why, and thought they were going to call Zhao Zijie to drink together. Facing Zhao Zijie, Zhao Zijie is even more respected. After all, Zhao Zijie is young, extraordinary in skill, handsome and unrestrained, and has the trust of the prince. The two Huaichun girls even argued about who should call Zhao Zijie.

But Zhang Fan, after waiting for Zhao Zijie to come, wanted to see what he would look like on the face. Such Cheng Yaojin suddenly encountered great obstacles, but in fact, Zhang Fan seemed to have nothing to do with this matter at all, it was just a coincidence, and even Zhang Fan was an expert on this matter. It doesn't matter, for Zhao Zijie, Wang Meng and Liang Chao, especially Wang Meng, came to the palace to report to Zhang Fan at such a time. This is the most coincidental, and also the most fatal to him.

However, no matter what Zhao Zijie thinks, he is absolutely impossible to shift the responsibility to Zhang Fan. The reason is very simple. When he was patrolling tonight, he naturally saw Wang Meng and Liang Chao coming into the mansion. I suspected it, but didn't pay much attention to it. In his opinion, if Zhang Fan found out about him, he probably wouldn't tell Zhu Xuanqi, but he might come to him directly, but Zhang Fan didn't look for him. I felt a lot more at ease.

However, now Wang Meng and Liang Chao have arrived, and for Zhao Zijie, the person he notified has already arrived, so if he came, he would have no way to notify them to cancel the action tonight.

Although Zhao Zijie doesn't know the details of the operation, he has estimated that there will definitely not be many people coming tonight, maybe only two or three people, at most only three or five people, and if there are only so few people, let alone others People, Wang Meng alone is more than enough, let alone add Liang Chao who even Zhao Zijie can't be hostile to.

Of course, he can also help, but he doesn't really want to do this. After all, if he does this, it will be tantamount to completely exposing his identity. He will not let him go. In the past, he was able to escape under the pursuit of these two sides, but his life is considered finished.

However, this is not the only choice Zhao Zijie is facing now. In fact, he still has a way, which is to do nothing, and even turn his head to help Shu Palace deal with those people. He would also be considered to have betrayed them.

At that time, those people must want to kill him, and not only that, it is very likely that they will reveal Zhao Zijie's true identity. In this way, even if he helped here tonight, Zhu Xuanqi and It is impossible for Zhang Fan to trust him.

All in all, today's Zhao Zijie is caught in a dilemma, and what's ridiculous is that even though he is very smart, he still doesn't realize that he has fallen into someone else's trap. Just a very unfortunate coincidence.

Just when Zhao Zijie was thinking about what to do by himself, or just pretending that he didn't know anything, someone sent by Zhu Xuanqi arrived to summon him.

Hearing what the maid said, Zhao Zijie frowned deeply, and walked in with heavy steps, not caring that the girl beside him looked at him with affectionate eyes.

It seems that tonight, many people are destined to suffer from insomnia. Moreover, it can be foreseen before the good show is staged. Tonight's play must be extremely exciting.
