Chapter 306 Assassination(1/2)
Chapter 305 Stand-in
They thought about finding a pair of silver armor to help Chen Ji put on it.
When he helped Chen Ji to avatar, he murmured in a low voice: "Master, let's wait and see how good Chen Wenren's jokes are, why should I help them... Why do I feel so awkward when you wear silver armor?"
Chen Ji was stunned: "Awkward?"
Qi Zhenzhuo frowned and looked at him: "I can't tell you what's strange, but I feel it doesn't match this silver armor."
Li Xuan said in a word: "Chen Ji is not suitable for such a flamboyant Yulin Army armor. This armor is too dazzling. He is suitable for wearing black armor."
All of them thought to themselves and said, "It seems to be true. Brother-in-law, how can you tell at a glance?"
Li Xuan was silent for a moment: "Because I've seen him wearing the black armor of the Tiance Army's sharpshooter."
All of them were puzzled: "I have seen it too. After the war, he was wearing that black armor."
Li Xuan shook his head and said softly: "It's not after the war."
He recalled the night of the decisive battle in Guyuan. Chen Ji stood in the dark with a hard bow in his hand, but it seemed as if there was a rolling thunder hidden.
The most powerful falcon will not appear in the eyes of prey.
The three of them went out.
Zhao Zhuofan was shouting in a hurry on the school ground: "Who is going to the Eight Great Hutongs to deliver letters to Commander Chen? There is a heavy reward of 200 taels of silver!"
No one responded on the school ground.
"Don't you want to earn 200 taels of silver by running a leg?" Zhao Zhuofan grabbed a Yulin Army and ordered: "Go!"
The Yulin Army took a step back and broke free from Zhao Zhuofan's palm: "It must be too late at this time. It will take half an hour to go to the Bada Hutong to ride a fast horse. It will definitely be a mistake for Shen Shi's official business. At that time, the Sili Supervisor will be held accountable. The Chen family may be the guarantee, but the humble position will be dismissed and investigated."
Zhao Zhuofan cursed angrily, turned to look at a Yulin Jun who was just feeding the horse: "I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, go!"
But the Yulin Army did not respond.
Zhao Zhuofan was angry: "Your mother is seriously ill and she is waiting for the treatment of silver. Your wife is reluctant to buy a box of rouge on weekdays. You will have everything after you take this silver!"
Qi Jingju sarcastically said, "Five hundred taels of silver are only his two-year salary. Liang Dongcheng finally selected the Yulin Army. How could you miss your serious job because of your small money? According to my Daning law, what is the crime of leaving the service without permission..."
Zhao Zhuofan glared at each other: "You!"
Now it was not the time to stumble with each other, he turned to other poor soldiers: "Who is willing to earn this five hundred taels of silver? No, eight hundred taels!"
No one responded.
They all thought and joked: "Why is Mr. Zhao willing to send someone with only 800 taels of silver when he is beside the Chen family? If you take 5,000 taels, I will run for you."
Zhao Zhuofan ignored him and only looked at the poor soldiers and sneered: "Okay, okay, the man treats you very well on weekdays, and the military's food and salary have never been deducted. After this matter, you don't have to stay in my ward!"
When a Yulin army heard this, gritted their teeth and took a step forward: "One thousand five hundred taels, I'll send a letter to the commander."
Zhao Zhuofan thought for a while: "Okay!"
The Yulin Army soldiers rode their horses and walked towards the Bada Hutong.
When he went out, another eunuch outside the door raised his handwriting: "The Yulin Army obeyed the order and immediately went outside the Meridian Gate to wait for the order. There was no one inside a stick of incense. If you whip forty, you will be dismissed from your post!"
Zhao Zhuofan said irritably: "It's like urging and urging, and it's like urging death!"
Chen Ji suddenly remembered what Zhang Xia said that the rules are used to eat people.
He turned around and asked, "How many people in the Yulin Army came from poor families?"
Qi Jingju shook his head: "Not many, the selection of the Yulin Army is extremely strict, and it takes three generations of ancestors to be clean. There are only 25 or 6 such poor families in the Yulin Army, and most of the others have backgrounds."
Chen Ji thought something.
...
...
Two hundred Yulin soldiers pressed their long swords at their waists and walked through Chengtian Gate and lined up in front of the Meridian Gate.
Zhao Zhuofan paced back and forth in front of the Meridian Gate, looking anxiously at the direction of Chengtian Gate.
At this moment, Chen Ji saw a familiar figure walking out from the right side of the Meridian Gate. The other party was wearing white clothes, wearing a dragon-patterned mask, and his hands were casually behind him, silently examining the Yulin Army.
White Dragon.
Chen Ji looked at the other party carefully and wondered which one the white dragon he had seen before.
Which one in Luocheng?
Or the one among the palace bans? Or maybe none of them.
After a long time, Bailong stared at Zhao Zhuofan: "What is the etiquette of the imperial guards walking back and forth in front of the Meridian Gate?"
Zhao Zhuofan was so shocked by his inexplicable aura that he was reluctant to look at him.
Bai Long looked at the Yulin Army and said without any storm: "With the Yulin Army 538, but now there is no place to gather 360 people here, which is very good."
As soon as he finished speaking, drums sounded from the Que Pavilion on the Meridian Gate Tower. Bailong immediately said, "Line in line, Chengtian Gate welcomes you!"
The Yulin Army was divided into two rows and walked neatly towards Chengtian Gate.
Chen Ji asked in a low voice: "Aren't you greeted me at the Meridian Gate?"
He thought about it and smiled: "Then Goryeo is my Ningchao vassal state, so how can there be a reason for the sect leader to wait for him? He got dismounted outside the Chengtian Gate and walked to the front of the Meridian Gate."
When I arrived in front of Chengtian Gate, I saw officials from Honglu Temple and more than 30 envoys gathered in a sedan chair and slowly approached. Around it, there were secret spies who had changed their clothes to travel back and forth, guarding their left and right.
After putting down the sedan chair, the prince of Goryeo inside did not get out of the sedan chair, and Bai Long did not urge him.
He looked out the door quietly with his hands in his arms, and there seemed to be a guest coming from afar.
Chen Ji was a little strange. What was Bai Long waiting for?
After a stick of incense, he was slightly stunned. On the streets of West Chang'an, there was a group of Honglu Temple officials and envoys surrounded by the same sedan chair.
Even the number of envoys was exactly the same.
After falling into the sedan chair, the golden pig wore a hat and flashed out of the roadside, came to Bailong and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I'm lucky to have not been humiliated and I'll be sent safely."
Bailong asked casually: "Nothing happened?"
The golden pig said confidently: "Nothing happened."
Bailong smiled and said, "Then please come out."
The Goryeo envoy lifted two sedan chairs at the same time. The people who came out on the left were wearing red silk clothes, embroidered Yi, algae emblem, five-beam crown, ivory tablets, and jade belts on their waists. They were all in the shape of Ning Dynasty ministers.
The person who came out on the right was dressed exactly like the Prince of Goryeo. He also wore a Chiluo suit and a Five-Ray Crown.
Both of them are of the same height and shape, and both cover their faces with gauze.
substitute!
Bailong asked the young man on the right: "Well, prince? You can pull the veil off."
The prince of Goryeo took off his veil and bowed humbly: "Report to the Lord, there is no obstacle."
The prince actually spoke fluent Ning Chao's official language.
At this time, Bai Long explained lightly: "To ensure that everything is safe, I have spent this trouble, and I hope the prince will forgive me."
The prince of Goryeo hurriedly replied, "It's okay, it's okay, Jing Chao thief has assassinated me several times, and the lord is also thinking about my safety. I should be in love."
Chen Ji's heart was shocked. In this capital, the open and secret struggle between the Jing Dynasty Military Information Department and the Ning Dynasty Secret Spies Department had reached this point?
But this is at the foot of the imperial city.
Bai Long looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Crown Prince, according to the etiquette, we need to check the 'big statement' again."
The prince of Goryeo took out an exquisite memorial from his sleeve, and the memorial was tied with a red rope.
He handed the memorial to Bailong with both hands: "This is the "Memorial for Resistance to the Scene" written by the father, please review it. This time, he brought 300 ginseng, 300 minks, 20 top stallions, 300 taels of gold, 800 taels of silver, and 16 pairs of gold and silverware, and the list is all included."
Bailong untied the red rope, read the document carefully, and then handed it to the official of Honglu Temple: "Horse are sent to Taipu Temple, ginseng is sent to the imperial pharmacy, and gold and silver are entered into the treasury."
An official from Honglu Temple politely took over the memorial: "Yes."
Bailong looked at the Prince of Goryeo again: "According to the Guanjin Rules Volume 15 of my Daning Law, the Prince of Governors does not have officials from the Honglu Temple on weekdays, and I am accompanied by my secret spy department. You cannot enter and exit the Huitong Pavilion at will; you cannot make a private map; you cannot talk to the people of this dynasty; the Prince of Governors provide three liters of rice every day, one pound of meat, and half of the followers. Do you have any objections?"
The prince of Goryeo bowed and said, "No objection."
An official from Honglu Temple bowed and asked, "Mr. Bailong, can we enter the palace?"
Bailong said calmly: "The eight hundred drums in Queting have not finished, wait."
After saying that, he stopped talking and stood quietly with his hands behind his back.
The majestic drum sounds of the Que Pavilion on the Meridian Gate Tower in the distance continue.
The officials of the Honglu Temple were shocked. According to the Ning Chao etiquette system, it was true that the drum sounds stopped before entering the palace, but no one in the past took the etiquette seriously. They entered the palace song before the drum sounds stopped.
And this white dragon refused to do anything beyond the rules.
Until the drums stop.
Then Bailong smiled at the Prince of Goryeo and said, "Criminal, Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar! Please!"
The Yulin Army lined up to lead the way, leading the Prince of Goryeo through the Meridian Gate and headed towards Jianji Hall.
