Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 93
The old man in black stood up slowly and walked up from the underground secret room, and the underground palace was unlocked.

Came to the top and stood in front of everyone, and said firmly;

"Don't go, just wait for him here. This should be the troops of Zhang Jinyu, the Marquis of Luoyun outside the pass. The soldiers he leads are the elite soldiers who went to Beijing for inspection. It is easy to hit him head-on. I want to talk to him."

"Commander, he is the Marquis who was conferred by the Great Wu Dynasty, a feudal prince with a heavy army in his hands, talking to him is not like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth."

The leader of his subordinates questioned loudly, appearing very anxious, and the other leaders were also anxious.

The old man also comforted;

"Don't worry, it's because he is a prince that we talked to him. If those generals in the pass, we should run away desperately, understand."

The people below listened thoughtfully and were no longer anxious.

"Light the torch."

"It's the commander."

The people around lit the torches, and the flames lit up and illuminated the surroundings. It turned out that it was a grand hall, and the building was also magnificent. It turned out that the Zhuangzi here was a small palace, and the outside was just a farm for cover.

"alert."

Following the order from the leader of the man in black, all the men in black in the temple guarded the door and the side of the window in turn.

The old man didn't care, he came to the seat in the center of the hall and sat down, waiting quietly.

A large number of soldiers who were still occupying the house outside saw a fire suddenly rising from a house high in the middle of Zhuangzi, so they knew there was a situation and immediately issued a warning.

The horn player accompanying the army immediately blew the warning horn.

"Woooo."

The searching soldiers gradually gathered and went straight to the fire.

But Zhang Jinyu and Duan Hong, who were hiding from the rain in the house, were shocked when they heard the sound of the horn, and they came.

The two looked at each other and immediately put on their coir raincoats, leading a large group of people to the center of Zhuangzi.

The black-clothed men in Zhuangzi's central hall seemed a little uneasy. There were a lot of footsteps around them, and the sound of heavy armor colliding intertwined, giving them a sense of oppression.

"The princes of Dawu are stronger than the other, hey."

The old man also pays attention to the movement outside. There is no one in the whole team outside speaking, only the sound of orderly footsteps. Dawu's elite has reached such a level, I can't even think about it.

The troops from outside did not enter rashly when they came here. After confirming that there were a large number of people in the front hall, the deputy general ordered to surround it first, waiting for the orders of Lord Hou and General Duan. No one complained during this time.

The whole army was silent, only the crashing sound of the heavy rain falling on the ground.

Zhang Jinyu was not slow either, and Duan Hong quickly came to the center of Zhuangzi. In fact, he felt wrong when he came here. This is obviously not Zhuangzi but a palace. Who is so generous.

It seems that it is related to the royal family again, could it be the former prince, no, the prince's secret guard is now in my hands, it is other princes, I can't say for sure.

When I came to the outside of the main hall, I saw that there were many people in the main hall, and there were obviously many people. Zhang Jinyu signaled Duan Hong to shout, and Duan Hong shouted without ink;

"Listen to the people inside, put down their weapons and capture them without a fight, or you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Zhang Jinyu also covered her face when she heard this, and it was absolutely perfect to shout at this level.

Everyone in the main hall was waiting anxiously, and they all heaved a sigh of relief when they heard someone yelling outside, and the old man also laughed;
"Haha, okay, Master Zhang didn't come in to say anything when he came. It's raining a lot outside."

Zhang Jinyu was startled when he heard that, who is this? He had laid an ambush in advance. Few people know my whereabouts.

"Master Hou, don't go, be careful of fraud."

Duan Hong persuaded from the side, Zhang Jinyu nodded, he was not stupid, it was too obvious, he was waiting for him.

"I'll give you ten minutes to come out, or I'll kill you in."

Duan Hong roared again, the soldiers outside took out their hand crossbows and aimed at the inside of the hall, the old man no longer looked downcast this time, and cold sweat also flowed down.

Then he stood up and walked out.

"Master Hou, wait a minute, the old man is coming out, let's have a face-to-face interview, isn't it afraid that Master Hou will catch a cold outside?"

Zhang Jinyu also sneered when he heard the words of an old man, afraid that I would catch a cold, maybe I would run away,
"I counted to one, everybody came out and got caught, and then we were talking."

"Master Hou is too domineering."

"Five, four, three,"

Zhang Jinyu continued to count and interrupted the words of the old man in black. The old man also smiled wryly and regretted it. These princes are used to domineering and made a mistake.

"According to Lord Hou, the people inside put down their weapons and come out."

The black-clothed people in the main hall hesitated a little, the old man looked at it and cursed again,
"Idiot, don't hurry up."

Only then did the men in black put down their weapons and came out one by one. As soon as hundreds of black clothes came out, they were detained by soldiers outside. The downpour of rain wet the clothes of the men in black in a short while, and they were drenched in water. Of course, there were some leaders in black. Hebu never came out, and the old man looked at it as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Aim at the hall and let it go."

Zhang Jinyu gave an order, and a piece of crossbow arrows shot directly into the hall, going back and forth for three rounds, there was no movement except for a few screams, Zhang Jinyu waved his hand, and two teams went in to search. Make up.

After the soldiers cleared their hands, they sent a safety signal to the outsiders. After Zhang Jinyu saw it, he led the Jia army into the hall. It was really spacious and there was a bonfire in the center, which shone warmly on everyone.

"Bring that old man up alone, and the others are on guard."

"It's Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu was also polite, and walked in directly with the guards, sat on the main seat, warmed up by the fire, and took a breath of cold.

The weather is so cold, and when it gets colder, all kinds of monsters and monsters will come out and jump around. Dawu now seems to be covered with all kinds of pests, too many.

The old man in black was brought in, because he didn't get wet standing under the eaves, but he was still shivering, and he didn't know whether it was from fright or from the cold.

"Tell me, tell me what you know, and don't talk nonsense about the rest."

The old man raised his head and looked at the main seat. There was an overly young general sitting there. He must be Luo Yunhou himself. He didn't expect such a young man to be so cruel and merciless, so he made a mistake.

"I've met Luo Yunhou, I'm so old and polite."

The old man in black gave a salute pretending to be calm, Zhang Jinyu nodded when he saw it,
"Well, received, but you still have two chances to speak."

At this moment, the old man in Heiyi was no longer afraid. He rubbed his hands together and came to the campfire to warm up. He seemed to be warmed up a lot.

"As expected of Marquis Luo Yun, he really looks like a hero. Zuo Ling, the commander of the secret guard in Xiayuan Imperial City, is the former prince's confidant."

"Ok?"

Zhang Jinyu raised his head and looked at the old man. He is the commander of the inner guard, so what is the one in the capital now.

"You said, you are the commander of the secret guard of the Imperial City Division, who is the commander of the secret guard in the capital?"

The old man's expression seemed to be mocking, some seemed to be sad,
"That's my apprentice. It used to be Siming Guard in the Imperial City. Since I took away the Dark Guard, the royal family has transferred people from the Ming Guard to re-establish the Dark Guard. That is to monitor the surroundings of the capital. Other places rely on the Ming Guard." transfer."

Zhang Jinyu was also thankful in her heart when she heard it. Fortunately, the secret guard rebelled, otherwise everything she had done would be in jeopardy. Duan Hong next to him was also stunned when he heard it. Why is there still something about the former prince? Royal secrets, I heard this Okay, I looked at Master Hou, and saw Master Hou's face was calm, and I knew it from the looks of it.

Only then did Duan Hong stand there in peace, wanting to hear it too.

"Excellent, I just want to ask, is the former prince alive or dead?"

"Master Hou can't guess this yet."

The old man in black asked back.

"That is to be alive, but I feel that living is more uncomfortable than dying. Sometimes living is also a kind of pain."

Zhang Jinyu also sighed with emotion. It seemed obvious that he could meet people from the former prince, which meant that there were many people active in the mainland of Dawu, and only when the master was there could there be cohesion.

But the old man in black's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he muttered to himself, life is more painful than death, no wonder no wonder, he was also in tears.

"Master Hou's guess was right or wrong. The prince survived back then, but his face was burnt. He rescued his daughter, and then disappeared. After leaving the capital, he gave birth to a boy with the maid who escaped with his name anonymously. He will inherit the ambition of the prince. The former crown prince has long since passed away, leaving us veterans alone."

"Loyalty is commendable, but you are traitors to me. Besides, what the crown prince can't do, his son can do. It's a dream!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Instead, the old man in black laughed strangely, staring straight into Zhang Jinyu's eyes.
