Chapter 265 A Gentleman Does Not Stand A Dangerous Wall (1/3)
Zhuge Nan whispered: "Master, have you finished asking?"
Wu Chengsi nodded.
Zhugenan walked towards Zhao Peng with an expressionless expression. Zhao Peng felt strange when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and was knocked unconscious by Zhugenan.
Seeing Wu Chengsi looking over, he hurriedly explained: "This guy is Ms. Zhou's senior brother, and he wrote the letter that caused Ms. Zhou to commit suicide. If I hadn't seen that he had some use value, I would have thrown him into the sea.
.”
Wu Chengsi said: "Have you asked him about the Fire Phoenix Club?"
Zhuge Nan hurriedly said: "I asked, they have nothing to do with the Fire Phoenix Society, but he said that the headquarters of the Fire Phoenix Society is indeed on an island outside Taizhou, but it was moved a few months ago."
"Where did you move to?"
"From what Zhao Peng said, it seems that he went to Yangzhou."
Wu Chengsi was shocked because Huofeng Society had also gone to Yangzhou. In addition, there was also a Yue King Li Zhen in Yangzhou. He might not be so easy to be the governor of Yangzhou.
At this moment, Zhuge Sanyuan suddenly looked towards the door. After a while, Han Cheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Young Master, I'm back."
Zhuge Nan opened the door and saw Han Cheng and Li Duozuo standing outside the door.
After entering the house, Li Duozuo bowed his hands and said: "The last general, Li Duozuo, pays homage to the prince."
Wu Chengsi raised his hand and said, "General Li came just in time. Where are your five hundred sergeants now?"
"Because the city gate was closed, General Mo asked them to camp outside the north gate. General Mo and General Han came in over the city wall."
Wu Chengsi stood up, walked back and forth in the room for a while, and then ordered: "It is very likely that we are already under Li Ai's surveillance. Zhugenan, did you have any cover when you came in?"
Zhuge Nan was taken aback and said, "No, we came in directly."
Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice: "Those pirates will definitely send people to find Li Ai after they land and ask him to help search for Zhao Peng, and Li Ai's people may have seen Zhao Peng entering the inn."
"Then we weren't seen?" Zhugenan asked in surprise.
"Yes, they probably already know that Zhao Peng was rescued by us."
Although Li Duozuo didn't quite understand the situation, he could tell that Wu Chengsi was in danger. He raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to lead people to attack the city immediately?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "We haven't reached this point yet. It will take time for them to get in touch with each other. I guess they won't take action against us until tomorrow."
Zhuge Sanyuan advised: "Your Majesty, I don't doubt your judgment, but it's not safe here after all. Let's move to another place."
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "I understand that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Let's move to another place to live first. Li Lang will leave the city first and bring troops into the city tomorrow morning with my order."
Li Duozuo cupped his hands and said, "The last general will take your orders."
He stretched out his hand and handed Han Cheng a sounding arrow and said: "General Han, if the prince is in danger, please release the sounding arrow, and I will immediately attack the city and come to the rescue."
Han Cheng nodded and accepted.
Wu Chengsi's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "General Li Lang, we will return to this inn early tomorrow morning. When you arrive, you will sneak into the city with your people and wait for Han Cheng to fire the sounding arrow before taking action."
Li Duozuo accepted the offer and saw that Wu Chengsi had no further instructions, so he resigned and left.
Zhuge Nan said: "By the way, Your Highness, I also saw He Lan Minzhi among those pirates."
Wu Chengsi, who was about to go out, suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"He Lan Minzhi, I saw it with my own eyes, and I can't be wrong!"
Wu Chengsi's eyebrows jumped. Wasn't He Lan Minzhi kidnapped by Tu Hong? How could he appear here?
Ah, by the way, Zhuge Nan just said that Situ Hong is Tu Hong, so it is normal for He Lan Minzhi to appear among those pirates.
There was no time to pay attention to He Lan Minzhi's affairs at the moment. Wu Chengsi, Zhuge Sanyuan and others left the room together, called Xu Wenqing's master and servant, went to the first floor of the inn, and vacated the guest room.
"Mr. Wu, it's so late, where are we going?" Xu Wenqing said while rubbing her eyes. She was suddenly woken up and was still a little dazed.
"Let's find another place to live."
While the two were talking, Zhuge Sanyuan had already left the inn alone, and came back less than a tea time later, saying: "Your Highness, the eyes outside have been taken care of, we can go out."
"Thanks for your hard work."
The group of people left the inn, it was already dark, and it was pitch black outside.
They found a B&B two blocks away from the "Hao Zai Lai Inn". After paying a high price, the family agreed to stay for a few people for one night.
To the north of the city is Fanyang County Prince's Mansion.
Li Ai came to the study and saw Ouyang Chong sitting in his chair, playing with a jade pen on the desk.
Li Ai put her hands behind her hands and said coldly: "Mr. Ouyang, our agreement should have been completed. Why are you still coming to see me?"
Ouyang Chong raised his only remaining eye and said in a deep voice: "One of my men has escaped. My people have searched all over the outside of the city, but there is no trace. I suspect that he has hid in the city."
Li Ai said indifferently: "This is your own business. You can find a way to solve it yourself. From now on, I will not do anything for you."
Ouyang Chong said with a smile: "Really? Since the prince said so, I will take my leave. However, if Zhao Peng reveals something to others in the future, please don't blame me again."
Li Ai gritted his teeth and said, "Does he know about this king?"
"He was originally one of my favorite subordinates. He knows everything about you, and he also knows that you killed Wu Wei. If Wu Chengsi finds out about this matter, the prince's situation will be..."
"That's enough!" King Fan Yang waved his hand and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Ouyang Chong said coldly: "The other party who rescued Zhao Peng from my boat is definitely not an ordinary person. I would like to ask the prince if there are any strange Jianghu people coming to the city recently."
Li Ai frowned and said, "When you say this, I think of it."
Ouyang Chong's eyes suddenly lit up and he stared at Li Ai closely.
Li Ai continued: "When I went to find Wu Wei that day, I met six outsiders in an inn. They didn't look like ordinary people. They also secretly investigated the cause of Wu Wei's death, so I sent someone to monitor him.
them."
"Which inn?" Ouyang Chong asked urgently.
Just as Li Ai was about to answer, the palace steward suddenly entered the study and whispered something in Li Ai's ear.
Li Ai's eyebrows flashed and she nodded: "I understand, let them continue to stare."
After the housekeeper left, Li Ai said in a deep voice: "My people just reported that out of the six people who originally stayed in that inn, two of them brought back two strangers, one after the other."
Ouyang Chong was overjoyed and said: "One of them must be Zhao Peng. I'm going to gather some people right away and ask the prince to lend me a token."
He planned to use the token to order the city gatekeeper to open the city gate so that his people could enter the city.
Li Ai said in a deep voice: "Are you planning to take action against them?"
"That's natural. These people have probably learned from Zhao Peng that Wu Wei was killed by us. We must not let them leave Linhai County alive!" the old man said coldly.
Li Ai sighed deeply. He originally thought that by helping these pirates kill Wu Wei, he would be able to completely separate himself from them.
Now I find that I am even more tied to them.
After a moment of silence, Li Ai said: "After all, it's six lives. I need to say hello to Wang Zuoquan in advance. You should be prepared first. When I come back from the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, it won't be too late for you to take action."
Ouyang Chong frowned and said nothing.
Li Ai said coldly: "Don't worry, I will order the city gate to be guarded. The city will be closed for one day tomorrow. They can't escape!"
"Forget it, I'll just wait another night." Ouyang Chong compromised.
Although the other party might be able to escape over the wall, as long as he planted hidden sentries on all the roads out of the city, they would not be able to escape his control.
