When Zhu Zhanji was secretly executing the three-step plan, there were two people who kept a low profile and silently watched Zhu Zhanji's actions. One was Yang Shiqi and the other was Hu Hui.

The two men did not tell anyone else about the golden edict, not even Zhu Gaochi. Yang Shiqi threatened Hu Hui to be mentally prepared to take the secret to the grave. Although Hu Hui had always insisted on keeping the truth with Zhu Gaochi

to warn him, but Yang Shiqi repeatedly warned him not to say anything.

"As long as you know this and I know it, don't tell the emperor. You don't know what the emperor and the prince are thinking." Yang Shiqi said mysteriously.

Hu Hui was worried in her heart and said, "But we also killed three eunuchs. There is absolutely no way this matter can be suppressed."

Yang Shiqi pulled him to the side of the imperial garden. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "I have already taken care of Wang Mingdian and the few young eunuchs. I will report the sudden death. No one noticed the few eunuchs."

"Let me tell you, once word of this about you gets out, Prince Zhu Zhanji will try his best to kill you." Yang Shiqi said slightly threateningly.

Hu Hui asked back: "Don't you tell the emperor that the prince has different intentions?"

"Now is not the time. Wait for my instructions and we will talk about it then."

Hu Xi reluctantly agreed.

Yang Shiqi himself said that he would be responsible for paying attention to Zhu Zhanji's transfers in officialdom and the military, while Hu Xi would be responsible for monitoring the actions of Xiaodong Factory and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, there was a mystery in Hu Xi's mind that he could not figure out: who was secretly helping

Zhu Zhanji. He determined that Zhu Zhanji must have an internal agent in the cabinet. Hu Xi remembered that Yao Guangxiao once said a very strange thing. When Zhao Wenquan, the admiral of the Nine Gates, committed suicide, someone in the cabinet quickly recommended Jin Yiwei Ji Gang as his temporary replacement.

The incident of the Nine Admirals caused a catastrophe and almost caused the King of Han's rebellion to succeed. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao concluded that someone in the cabinet was disloyal and tried to collude with the forces of the King of Han to rebel.

The matter of the two wills is also strange. Both Hu Hui and Yang Shiqi felt that Zhu Di never revealed his intention to pass the throne to Zhu Zhanji. Could it be that someone made a fake will?

Could it be that Zhu Zhanji put it in himself? There must be someone who cooperates with him inside and outside to exchange the edict. What's more, only Emperor Yongle has the key to the edict, and no one else can open it. How did Zhu Zhanji exchange it?

Hu Hui and Yang Shiqi were puzzled.

However, although Hu Hui and Yang Shiqi were watching Zhu Zhanji, they did not know that Zhu Zhanji was also secretly planning how to get rid of them. Especially Hu Hui, Zhu Zhanji believed that this person was both black and white, and was cryptic.

He was listed as the number one dangerous person and must be eliminated quickly? He also sent twelve Japanese ninjas to deal with Hu Hui. Unbeknownst to Hu Hui, the dangerous and murderous intention was approaching him step by step.

These twelve ninjas are good at ninjutsu and illusion. Each of them is equipped with two Japanese swords, one long and one short. They also have dozens of willow darts around their waists. They can appear and disappear, killing people invisibly.

It was on a dark and windy night that Hu Hui said this.

On that day, Hu Hui and Yang Shiqi finished discussing political affairs. Yang Shiqi said that he would stay in the palace and deal with government affairs. Hu Hui then left the palace by himself and left the Forbidden City through Donghua Gate. He wanted to go back to his apartment in the east. But he didn't notice that there was a person on the roof.

A mysterious figure followed him all the way.

This person wears a black turban covering his head and a black cloth mask. He is completely covered in black close-fitting cotton clothes. If it weren't for a pair of shining eyes, it would be impossible to notice it. He is lying on the roof, covering his mouth to prevent the heat.

Scattered out? Hidden in the darkness. Hu Hui only felt that someone was following him vaguely, but when he looked back, he found nothing.

But now it is early spring in Beijing, the weather is still cold, and residents are still burning charcoal to keep warm. But from the smell of burning coal coming from every house, Hu Xi smells the smell of cold blade rust.

Ninjas always fight in groups, so this ninja is not alone, but a scout. The other eleven have already sneaked into the vicinity of Hu Hui's house and are waiting, waiting for Hu Hui to come home and attack successfully.

Feeling the crisis, Hu Hui quickened his steps and rushed directly to his residence in Qingfang. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately pulled the door handle and locked it, and carefully checked the surrounding eaves to see if anyone had come in.

At this time, Hu Hui glanced sideways and saw a small amount of white water vapor on the roof. It was the breath of someone who did not cover his mouth. The night temperature in Beijing was extremely cold, and even a little bit of breath could gather into water vapor.

Hu Hui knew that there were people who wanted to do harm to him, and it would be difficult to deal with those who came.

He didn't like to be disturbed on weekdays, so the servants at home worked during the day and did not stay at home at night. Now he was the only one left in the house. Hu Hu turned around and entered the front hall, wanting to fight to the death with these uninvited guests.

In the darkness, he saw a person gently jumping down from the eaves. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, but the person landed without a drop of snowflakes. Then Hu Hu saw the second and third people through the window pane.

The fourth... each one fell to the ground silently.

Hu Bi counted, shook his head and took a breath. There were six men in black standing upright in his yard with two swords on their backs.

Suddenly there was a whoosh, and an iron dart shot in and was nailed straight to the wooden pillar in the front hall. Hu Xi felt heartache. The pillar was carved from golden nanmu and was a gift from Emperor Yongle.

With a snap of his fingers, another iron dart arrived, and with a bang, it was nailed to the pillar again. Hu Xi thought to himself, two holes were broken this time, and the emperor blamed him that day. He was guilty of not protecting the royal reward well.

crime.

Seeing that the third shot was about to come in, Hu Hui decided that he could not wait any longer. He faced a stone brick on the floor of the Eight Immortals table in the front hall and stepped on it hard.

There was only a crashing sound, and a row of arrows were shot from the left and right corridors of the front yard. These arrows were a mechanism set up by Hu Xi. He invited the most powerful Luban craftsman in the Ming Dynasty to build it. It was driven by a wheel and axle machine, and Hu Xi could sit on it
