Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 153 Layout, night, unexpected people
Just when Qin Wei was full of joy, Zhao Gao, who was in the Feather Witch King's court, also started to act.

The rain was pouring down.

Dark clouds hung over the cliffs and peaks, making it hard to breathe.

Moling Mountain.

A branch of the Qingyu tribe lives here, with about 3 to [-] people. The whole tribe is like a county town. Not only does it have a three-foot-high city wall, but it is also located on the mountainside, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are two ninth-rank warriors in the small Qingyu Black Spirit Clan, and they are already considered relatively large forces within hundreds of miles around.

On a rainy night, Zhao Gao held an umbrella in one hand and rolled up his sleeve in the other, quietly appearing above the city tower.

The buildings of the barbarians are not as exquisite as Dali, and the cornices and tiles are extremely rough, but there is a different kind of beauty in this roughness.

Under the dark night, the raindrops fell quickly like broken beads, hitting the tiles of the cornices, splashing up groups of water splashes, and the water splashes shone brilliantly under the dim light of the fire.

Zhao Gao stood quietly on the cornice of the tower, overlooking the quiet city.

Beside him, one after another figure took advantage of the rainy night and rushed into the city quickly.

More than a dozen people entered the city without any commotion or noise. The sound of crashing rain was their perfect protection.

When everyone entered the city, Zhao Gao disappeared in place like a shadow.

……

In the city, in a luxurious building.

Hu Lin, the head of the Moling Mountain Clan, was sitting by the candlelight, writing at his desk.

Hu Lin is about 70 years old. Although he is an old man, he doesn't look old at all. On the contrary, his tall and burly body is full of strong temperament.

As the patriarch of the Moling Mountain Clan, he is not only responsible for managing the Moling Mountain City, but also obeys the will of the entire Qingyu Clan patriarch to occupy more and greater interests for the Qingyu Clan.

In recent years, because the Black Feather Clan has been occupying the throne of the Feather Witch Court, the interests of other Feather Clans have been greatly suppressed, and the Qingyu Clan has suffered the most serious losses. weak one.

If it continues like this, the Qingyu clan may fall out of the position of the four major feather clans and become an ordinary clan.

Therefore, in order to protect the status and interests of the Qingyu clan, many tribes of the Qingyu clan are frantically collecting resources and improving their strength.

There is a black iron mine in Moling Mountain City, which is regarded as one of the most important resources of the Qingyu clan.

What Hu Lin is doing right now is sorting out the amount of iron ore they mined in Moling Mountain City in the past month, and tomorrow they will escort these iron ore to Qingyu City.

Hu Lin frowned as he looked at the data on the account book.

This month, they opened a lot less Xuantian ore. The main reason is that the royal court recruited many young and middle-aged men from their tribe, which greatly reduced their labor force.

As for why their young and middle-aged men were enlisted, it was because the Feather Witch Royal Court was training the army and was preparing to attack Dali's border town again.

This is the method used by the Black Feather Clan to consume the population of other Feather Clans. At the same time, there are many problems behind it, such as Nanyang City, Xiaoyao Island, and the current Feather Witch King's ambitions, etc.

Just when Hu Lin felt insufficient for the black iron ore, a subtle sound suddenly caught his attention.

"Who!"

He raised his head up like a frightened bird.

The room is brightly lit by candlelight, and the outside of the room is dark on a rainy night.

I do not know when there was an extra figure at the doorway between light and dark.

Seeing the sudden appearance, Hu Lin stood up abruptly, his pupils constricted, and asked, "Who are you?"

"you do not need to know!"

Zhao Gao put away the umbrella in an orderly manner, and then slowly stepped into the room.

It was obviously a rainy night, and the heavy rain outside the house was pattering, but there was no water stain under his feet.

The indifferent voice pierced Hu Lin's chest like a sharp arrow, and he stared blankly at the desk in front of him.

Above the desk, a spider the size of a fist appeared at some point. The spider fell down along the silk thread and quickly crawled to the side of the candlestick.

spider!

Such a big spider!

Why is it here?
Hu Lin was full of doubts.

"I~~"

He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the room suddenly went dark, and the flickering candles went out.

Then the room fell into dead silence.

The silent room was in stark contrast to the sound of the rain outside, as if there was an invisible barrier between the two, isolating everything.

Time passed slowly, and the heavy rain seemed to have no intention of stopping.

The entire Moling Mountain City was still immersed in tranquility, and no one noticed that some disturbing things had happened in the city.

Still on the same tower, still on the cornice, Zhao Gao was still standing there holding an umbrella, overlooking the entire Moling Mountain City.

It's just that the killers around him quickly flew out of the city.

Compared with when they entered the city, they all had something more in their hands at this time.

There are people in their hands, some wooden boxes, and some swords and weapons, etc. It looks very messy.

……

The rain in Nanyang City is also heavy, and the night in Nanyang City is even colder.

The rain fell on the majestic Nanyang City, making the city even more solemn.

Outside the city, on the banks of the Nanyuan River near the city wall, a dark figure was standing on a protruding stone. He also held an umbrella in his hand, but his figure was a bit hunched.

"grown ups!"

A few black shadows appeared behind him, silently.

"Hehe, what's the situation?"

The figure on the stone turned around slowly, revealing a round and honest face.

The face is full of kindness and gentleness, as if this is an ordinary kind old man.

Perhaps he is a kind old man.

At least Cao Zhengchun thought he was very kind.

Not only is he kind to his colleagues and subordinates, but he is also full of kindness to his enemies.

The kind of kindness that is willing to leave a whole body for the enemy!

But now Cao Zhengchun is not Cao Zhengchun, but the eunuch Zhu Ji, the supervisor of ceremonies, and a new leader of the recipient.

Cao Zhengchun wandered around in the imperial city for more than half a year, and finally won the trust of Eunuch Lu, and also got the reuse of Emperor Li.

Li Huang let him join the organization of the recipient.

The receiver is an organization independent of the Imperial City Division. If the Imperial City Division is an intelligence agency, then the receiver is an organization that kills people.

Compared with the well-known institution of the Imperial City Division, the existence of the recipient is the real secret.

Not to mention the folk arena, even the honorable ministers in the court don't know that there is an organization in the hands of Emperor Li.

Or some people know the existence of the life receiver, but the life receiver they know must be different from the real life receiver.

It goes without saying that the life collector is the person who collects life.

Dealing with the traitors of the Imperial City Division is one of the responsibilities of the order receiver, but the main responsibility of the order receiver is to deal with things that are inconvenient for Li Huang and the court to intervene.

The killer is the sharpest knife in Li Huang's hands.

A knife hidden in the dark, ready to be drawn at any time.

Cao Zhengchun was able to enter the life-receiving person thanks to the status that Zhuge Zhengwo arranged for him. It can also be said that the status of eunuch is easier to gain Lihuang's trust.

In the dark rainy night, Cao Zhengchun smiled extraordinarily kindly.

The few subordinates in front of him were slightly stunned, they seemed not quite used to such kind smiles.

"My lord, everything in the city is as usual, and we haven't found anything unusual."

"Oh! I didn't meet any innate warriors!"

"No! Mao Jiang is not in the city, and Liu Bo is responsible for all affairs in the city."

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flickered, and he secretly calculated in his heart.

His mission is to investigate the hidden forces in Nanyang City, and at the same time contact someone.

An incredible person.

"Where is Mao Jiang?"

"Mao Jiang went to Nanxing City."

Cao Zhengchun held up his umbrella and pondered for a moment, then pointed to the two people on the left and said, "You two will go to Nanxing City with our family, and the rest of you will stay here and stare at Nanyang City."

"Here!" Several people responded.

Cao Zhengchun explained again.

"Remember, you must hide yourself well, don't expose yourself, and be careful of innate warriors."

"I'll wait to understand!"

Several people responded again.

They are very familiar with this kind of thing. Maybe they are not as good as the spies of the Imperial City Division in terms of collecting information, but they are definitely the most professional in terms of marking and hiding.

After explaining, Cao Zhengchun walked east along the Nanyuan River.

On a rainy night, it is difficult to move, so they need to find a place to rest tonight, and they will go to Southern Star City the next day.

……

Danlianfu City.

Qin Wei took Situ Qianxue on a tour of mountains and rivers.

As winter approached, the temperature in Shuzhou dropped a lot, but it was not too cold, especially in Danlian Mansion, which was almost like spring all year round. Even now, there were still many blooming flowers in the mountains and forests around Danlian Mansion City.

In the mountains, Qin Wei and Situ Qianxue walked side by side on the trail.

The two have been married for more than ten days, and they are no longer so strange to each other, but have a little more affection.

It is said that love grows over time, and after a long time, you will have feelings if you sleep a lot.

"My lord, look, this flower is so beautiful!"

Situ Qianxue squatted beside a gorgeous flower and said in surprise.

Perhaps it's because Beiyuan City is located in a grassland, and there are very few flowers and plants. Situ Qianxue likes beautiful words very much, and also likes to play in the mountains.

Qin Wei stood beside her, said with a smile: "It is indeed very beautiful, if the lady likes it, she can take it home."

Situ Qianxue shook her head, and said a little naively: "It's better to let it stay here, it should like it here more."

Qin Wei was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing.

This is a bit silly to say, a flower and plant has no thoughts, how can you like it or not?
It's just that since Situ Qianxue said so, Qin Wei naturally wouldn't refute it.

In fact, Situ Qianxue is not a powerful person. Although she is the eldest lady of Beiyuan City, she was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child because she couldn't practice martial arts.

Now she is nothing but the childishness and innocence of a girl in her heart.

Qin Wei felt very comfortable getting along with her, simple and casual, without too many complicated emotions, and without too many calculations.

It is because of her innocence that Qin Wei is willing to travel with her.

If Situ Qianxue was full of calculations, Qin Wei probably wouldn't bother to talk to her long ago.

While the two were playing, Shi Luan suddenly came not far behind them, but she didn't step forward to disturb them, but just waited quietly.

Qin Wei looked up and noticed her, and said to Situ Qianxue, "You take a rest first, I'll come as soon as I go."

"En!" Situ Qianxue nodded obediently.

Qin Wei walked towards Shi Luan, the girl Xiaochan hurried forward to greet Situ Qianxue, fearing that she would tire her good lady from playing in this mountain.

"Meet Your Highness!" Seeing Qin Wei approaching, Shi Luan hurriedly bowed.

Qin Wei nodded slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, a strange letter has been received in the other courtyard." Shi Luan took out a letter and handed it to Qin Wei.

Qin Wei opened it and took a look, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.

"Who has read this letter?"

"Only my subordinates have seen it!" Shi Luan said.

Qin Wei nodded, and glanced at the letter again.

This letter is really strange, the strange thing is the content of the letter.

Mao Jiang is Lihuang's man!
There is only this sentence in the letter.

A sentence that Qin Wei couldn't think of.

Mao Jiang is rebellious!
He is rebelling now!
Who would have thought that he would be Li Huang's man!
But Qin Wei had to believe that the contents of the letter were true.

Because he knew the origin of the letter.

Cao Zhengchun!
There was Cao Zhengchun's imprint on the envelope, it was just a little ink stain, if an outsider saw it, they might just think that this ink stain was left by accident, but in fact it was a special agreement between Qin Wei and the pawn.

"Mao Jiang is Li Huang's man!"

Qin Wei tore the letter into shreds, and at the same time became incredulously meditating.

It doesn't seem impossible!

The timing of Mao Jiang's rebellion itself is full of coincidences!
Before Zhao Gao had guessed that Emperor Li would end up in the southwest, Cao Zhengchun just confirmed Zhao Gao's guess.

Mao Jiang rebelled, Lan Yuehou went south to Yunzhou to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time trapped the king in Shuzhou!
"Mao Jiang, Lan Yuehou, and Xiaoyao Island are all in Grandpa Huang's calculations."

Qin Wei took a deep breath and murmured heavily.

It is estimated that only Lihuang can do such a thing to make people rebel against themselves.

And the reason why he dared to do this meant that he had strong self-confidence, and he was confident that he could deal with all consequences.

So here comes the question, what kind of existence makes Lihuang set up such a big picture?

Is it just Runaway Island?

To be honest, Xiaoyao Island alone is not worth Lihuang's so much thought.

Even Qin Wei looked down on Xiaoyao Island.

Xiaoyao Island is very strong, the most powerful of the six holy places, but after all, Xiaoyao Island is just a sect-like faction, with only three innate warriors.

Not to mention Li Huang, even if Qin Wei wants to kill them now, he can easily do it.

Xiaoyao Island is not worthy of Li Huang's deployment of such a big picture, so there must be other forces behind it.

Night!

A force so mysterious that even the Imperial City Secretary doesn't understand it.

After Lu Baifeng mentioned Yemu in front of Qin Wei, Qin Wei sent people to collect intelligence and information about Yemu, but found nothing.

"It seems that we have to figure out the muddy water in Nanyang City." Qin Wei thought to himself.

Looking at it now, it seems that Nanyang City has nothing to do with him, but facing an unknown existence, no one knows whether this existence will cause him trouble in the future.

To avoid being caught off guard in the future, it is best to act first, at least to find out what this night is.
