Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 309 Zhang Jiye Is Already Old
Xu Fangyi hesitated for a moment, and said, "If Master Bai hadn't been informed to lead the masters of the Action Department to ambush near the Zeng Mansion in advance, they would be ready to attack at any time."

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Zhang Jiye is already old, and he was seriously injured this time. Even if he escapes, his strength is not half of his heyday, and he probably won't live for a few years. It's too little to catch him. However, he has been hiding in the palace for many years and knows a lot of secrets about His Majesty and the court. Lou Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun will definitely not allow him to die. If I am not mistaken, there must be a Maitreya Sect somewhere outside the city People should respond, given Zhang Jiye's importance, it is very likely that Shangguan Bingyun will come in person."

Xu Fangyi's body shook, and he said with some hesitation: "Your Excellency, you mean to let Zhang Jiye out of the city, use him as bait, lure Shangguan Bingyun out, and kill Shangguan Bingyun?"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Send someone to tell Bai Canghai my plan, and let him start preparations. Where are the other suspects... Except for Jin Wang who continues to let Li Junhao lead people to watch, everyone else should withdraw! Let Hu Sanguang be in charge of leading a large number of intelligence agents and peripheral members to stare at the main intersections, towns, Bian River and the banks of the canal within [-] miles outside the four city gates."

Zeng Shangfei drank tea and chatted with the guard at the South City Gate for a while, and got closer. Under the guard's extremely respectful gaze, he rode a carriage to a restaurant not far away, ready to have lunch.

He is a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, and occupies a key position in the Privy Council. Even if he is only one or two steps away from entering the two mansions, although his reputation is usually not obvious, in fact, he still has a seat in front of Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi. These two still want to win him over in every possible way.

To be able to have such a status in such a promising country as the Song Dynasty, Zeng Shangfei felt a little proud, but also a little inexplicably nervous. As a general of a country that has been destroyed, it is really not easy to have such a status today. It is directly related to his conscientious work in the past few years, but this status is in jeopardy because of Zhang Jiye's arrival.

From Zhang Jiye's appearance to his face until now, Zeng Shangfei has not been able to sleep soundly at night.Because he knew that as long as he was discovered by the court or betrayed by Zhang Jiye, everything he had now would be lost, and he would die a miserable death.

Escorted by four guards, Zeng Shangfei took a long breath and got out of the carriage when he arrived at the entrance of this restaurant that he often visited. Entered the restaurant.

Zeng Shangfei nodded kindly to the owner of the restaurant, and found that the latter had a strange look on his face, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, no one is in a bad mood.He had already made up his mind, either to find a way to kill Zhang Jiye as soon as possible, or to find a way to send him out of the city.He couldn't live with such fear, and the longer it dragged on, the more likely something would happen.

Thinking of this, Zeng Shangfei couldn't help quickening his pace.After dinner, he still has to do things quickly. He already has some plans in his mind, so he has to hurry up and do them.

The owner of the restaurant personally led Zhang Jiye to the best window box on the second floor, then turned around and went downstairs quickly.

There is no hall on the second floor, all boxes.Zhang Jiye was so preoccupied at this time that he didn't notice that the entire second floor was extremely quiet, but his guards did notice and vaguely saw that there were people in the box, but there was only a very soft sound of eating, but there was no chattering like before. sound came.

The guard did not have time to tell Zeng Shangfei of this discovery, the latter had already pushed open the box and walked in, but Zeng Shangfei stopped after taking two steps.Then, from the two boxes next to it, a very neat sound came out at the same time. These guards were retired from Zeng Shangfei's former soldiers, and they were also elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield. When they heard this voice, they knew they were wearing armor. The sound of soldiers standing up in unison.

The faces of the four people changed, and they were about to make a move. Ten warriors wearing black armors, with extremely cold faces, appeared from the four boxes on both sides.

After the forty black-armored warriors came out, without saying a word, they surrounded the box they were about to enter. The expressions of the four guards changed, and they instinctively drew out their knives. While looking at Zeng Shangfei, the four of them were startled once again. Zeng Shangfei was trembling slightly to salute a young man with deep eyes and different temperament in the box.

Although Ye Chen has long been a well-known celebrity in Kaifeng, but in this era without TV and Internet, only a few people have seen his true face.The four guards did not recognize Ye Chen.So I was surprised to see my own adults bowing to a young man.Except for Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao, there are very few people in the court who are so young and let their adults salute.Could it be... that one?The four guards were all Zeng Shangfei's confidantes. Knowing what Zeng Shangfei had done these days, their faces changed drastically. They looked desperate, but there was not much panic. They were ready to die for Zeng Shangfei.

"My lord, the outside is surrounded." A guard glanced at Ye Chen and whispered to Zeng Shangfei.

Although Zeng Shangfei didn't look back, the movement behind him naturally fell into his ears. After saluting, he still didn't look back, but glanced at the man next to the young man who was wearing black armor and crawled on his shoulders. A very handsome big bird, a man with an indifferent expression, pretended to be calm and said: "I didn't expect to meet Lord Hou here, I entered the wrong box and disturbed Lord Hou's meal, please make amends. "

Ye Chen didn't speak, and still sat still calmly, looking at Zeng Shangfei with a half-smile.

Zeng Shangfei suppressed the fear and uneasiness in his heart, and said again: "Looking at the appearance of Lord Hou, could it be that he is waiting for his subordinates here, I don't know if Master Hou needs his help, I will do my best to help him. "

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and glanced behind Zeng Shangfei. Zeng Shangfei felt a little relieved, and didn't grab himself immediately. No matter what the reason was, there was still a chance of him being spared.He turned around and let the four guards wait outside. At the same time, he glanced at the forty black armored soldiers blocking the door out of the corner of his eye. cavalry.

The box door was closed, and the four guards were forcibly taken to another box by the black cavalry outside to watch.

Ye Chen then said: "Master Zeng, please sit down, I really need Master Zeng's help with something."

Zeng Shangfei was taken aback, he was slightly relieved, forced himself to calm down, sat opposite Ye Chen, and said: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Ye Chen said: "I would like to ask Mr. Zeng to help me send Zhang Jiye from your house out of the city."

Zeng Shangfei's face changed drastically, the last trace of luck in his heart completely dissipated, his mind fell into an abyss, and endless fear enveloped his heart.Looking at Ye Chen's appearance, he already knew that Zhang Jiye was in his house... No, Ye Chen didn't let anyone arrest him, and just said that he would help him send Zhang Jiye out of the city?

Like a drowning man, Zeng Shangfei grabbed the only straw and said, "What is the meaning of Lord Hou?" His voice became extremely hoarse in an instant.

From Zeng Shangfei's series of expression reactions just now, Ye Chen was completely sure that Zhang Jiye was indeed hidden by the other party. He felt a little relieved, took out a white jade bottle from his bosom, and said, "As long as you take one of the pills inside, Regardless of whether you are a member of the Maitreya sect, or have any clues in Zhang Jiye's hands, and your accusation of hiding Zhang Jiye, I will keep it a secret for you."

Zeng Shangfei was stunned for a while, and said with a little dejection: "Master Hou is really powerful, dare to ask Master Hou, what is the pill that the servant is given?"

Ye Chen said: "I'll keep it a secret for you, and let you live. When I need you in the future, you can do something for me, but I'm worried that you are a member of Maitreya, so you took this pill, and you just let me Just rest assured. Rest assured! This pill has no side effects, but you need to receive an antidote from me every six months."

Zeng Shangfei's face trembled. He knew that he had no room for bargaining. He picked up the pill Ye Chen handed to him and swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly, thinking that this is already the fourth one, three people and one bird.

This pill was made by Ye Chen with the help of Yu Qingyan and the ghost doctor a few days ago. There are [-] pills in total. There is nothing special about the pill itself, except that there is a black ant Gu worm inside.

[-], sounds like a lot, but not everyone would use Ye Chen. A few days ago, Ye Chen hesitated to give it to Li Congshan and Xu Xuan, the chief and deputy envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty who were locked in the cell of the Huaxia Weifu. Each enjoyed one.Yesterday he forcibly fed another one to the sea dongqing that Princess Yongqing gave him.Just now Zeng Shangfei ate another one.

Ye Chen has already figured it out thoroughly, controlling people through Gu worms, when he has no communication with him, there will be no abnormalities, and his thinking, character, and ideas will not be affected, but if he receives his orders, he will not be affected. Hesitant to execute.

Ye Chen talked with Zeng Shangfei for half an hour, and the latter left the restaurant first with four guards.

Not long after Zeng Shangfei left, Ye Chen received information sent by someone from Li Junhao who led people to monitor the Jin Palace.

"One hundred unknown masters dressed as Kaifeng Mansion's fast guards left in five groups from the back door of King Jin's Mansion, four of which went to the four city gates, and one group scattered around me. What does Zhao Guangyi want to do? It's because Kaifeng Mansion couldn't find Zhang Jiye, thinking that if I found it or found it at the gate of the city, I would take the credit?" Ye Chen muttered to himself, then went downstairs, got into the carriage, and left surrounded by a hundred black cavalry the restaurant.

In the early morning, just as the city gate was opened, Zeng Shangfei left the Zeng Mansion in a carriage and headed for the south city gate.He still brought the four guards who had never changed and had been recognized by the guards of the four gates as he did every time he checked the four city gates these days, but no one noticed that one of the guards was as tall as Slightly shorter than usual.
