At this moment, Zhuge Sanyuan suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I remembered that Yang Sijian's daughter seemed to have been selected as the crown princess, but she was ruined by He Lan Minzhi. Later, the crown princess was replaced by
The Pei family."
Zhuge Nan shouted: "Then Yang Sijian still recruits him as his son-in-law? Is he mentally ill?"
Zhuge Sanyuan stroked his short beard and said: "After hearing about this, Yang Sijian sent five memorials to deal with He Lan Minzhi, but they were all detained by Her Highness the Queen."
Wu Chengsi remained silent. It had to be said that Wu Mei was really kind to He Lan Minzhi at that time.
The old temple minister sighed and said: "Later, Yang Sijian went to the prince to redress his grievances. The Queen was so angry that she demoted Yang Sijian out of the capital."
"Later, the prince couldn't bear it and secretly took care of him, so that he got the official position of Navy Commander."
Han Cheng frowned and said, "So, Yang Sijian should hate He Lan Minzhi. Why would he marry his daughter to him?"
Wu Chengsi thought for a long time and said softly: "If I guessed correctly, Yang Sijian should have really hated He Lan Minzhi and the Queen at the beginning."
"In the beginning?" Zhugenan tilted his head and asked.
"The one who colluded with Tu Hong's gang of pirates must be Yang Sijian. He must have heard that Yang Sijian hated He Lan Minzhi, so he kidnapped He Lan Minzhi in the hope of currying favor with Yang Sijian."
Zhuge Nan said: "Yes, that makes sense."
"Later, when Yang Sijian met He Lanmin, not only did he not kill him, but he also married his daughter to him. There was only one reason."
"What reason?"
Wu Chengsi waited for a while before saying: "His daughter must have fallen in love with He Lan Minzhi and threatened her with death. Yang Sijian had no choice but to obey his daughter."
"..."
Everyone fell into silence. Helan Minzhi raped Yang. Not only did Yang not hate him, she actually fell in love with him. This is really unreasonable.
Wu Chengsi coughed twice and said, "Han Cheng, do you know where He Lan Minzhi is now?"
Han Cheng pointed out: "After arriving in Yangzhou, He Lanminzhi placed Brother Li in a small courtyard in the west of the city. I followed him all the way and found that he went to the Navy Commander's Mansion."
"Later, I saw Tu Hong outside the Governor's Mansion, and I didn't dare to continue to follow him, so I returned to Brother Li's small courtyard. After discussing with him, we all felt that He Lan Minzhi was still a little suspicious of Brother Li, so we thought of how to eliminate his suspicion.
."
"However, just a few hours ago, Helan Minzhi came to Brother Li's small courtyard overnight and said that he would live with Brother Li temporarily. I think he probably wanted to inspect Brother Li for a few more days and then take him to the Governor's Mansion.
, then came back to report.”
Zhuge Nan smiled and said: "You are mistaken. He Lan Minzhi was seen by my adoptive father. He was worried that His Highness would lead a raid on the Governor's Mansion, so he hid in General Li Lang's courtyard."
At that moment, in a few words, he told about Zhuge's visit to the Yue Palace on Sanyuan Night.
Zhuge Sanyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, since we already know the whereabouts of He Lan Minzhi and know that Yang Sijian is protecting him, I think we can take action."
Wu Chengsi pondered Han Cheng's words in detail for a while, clapped his hands and said: "That's fine, since we are going to take action, we must make complete arrangements and make sure to hit the target with one blow."
…
The moment Gao Jun opened his eyes, his first reaction was to touch his sword.
Immediately, he found that his right hand was pressed down by something heavy.
Turning around, he saw that his little disciple was lying beside the bed, his little head resting on his hand.
Where is this place? Why are you here?
Gao Junhui frowned and recalled, and soon the memory of last night came up.
He was defeated, completely defeated by Chen Shuozhen, and was finally saved by a man in black.
Gao Junhui has almost never encountered an opponent since he mastered swordsmanship.
However, after last night's battle, he finally realized how vast this world is.
Chen Shuozhen, Situ Xin, and that bad guy are all superior to him in martial arts.
In addition, the man in black who rescued him had more terrifying martial arts skills than the other three. Gao Jun would only feel four mountains appear in front of him.
"Disciple, wake up quickly!" Gao Junhui shook his right hand.
Gongsun Xiaoniang raised her head in a daze, rubbed her eyes and said, "Master, you... are awake."
"Where is this?"
Gongsun Xiaoniang blinked and said: "Master, are you confused? Isn't this the Guanyin Mountain camp you asked me to come to?"
Guanyin Mountain Camp?
Gao Junhui immediately understood that the person who saved him last night must be Wu Chengsi's men.
He had long heard the news that Wu Chengsi was appointed as the Governor of Yangzhou, so he also took his disciples to the south of the Yangtze River, hoping to help Wu Chengsi destroy the Huofeng Society.
After arriving in Yangzhou, he began to secretly investigate the Huofeng Society. During the investigation, he discovered Heicang Wharf, and then followed Heicang Wharf to the Prince Yue's Mansion.
"Master, don't get up, the wounds on your body will be broken!" Gongsun Xiaoniang said urgently.
Gao Jun would slowly stand up and say, "I'm going to see His Highness. I have important things to report to him."
Gongsun Xiaoniang held his waist, raised her head and said, "Your Highness, uncle, and uncle Black Bear have both left the camp."
Gao Junhui frowned and said, "Where have they gone?"
"have no idea."
Gao Junhui walked to the door, pushed open the curtain, and found that it was dark outside, and it seemed to be dusk.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Gongsun Xiaoniang counted with her fingers for a while, then raised her head and said, "It's been more than six hours."
Gao Junhui nodded, looked around, and found that his eyes were full of camps and soldiers coming and going.
"Do you know who saved me last night?"
Gongsun Xiaoniang nodded repeatedly and said, "He is Uncle Chifeng's adoptive father!"
"overeat?"
"Yes, others call him Brother Pig."
"It's Zhuge Si Cheng!" A loud voice suddenly came from the side.
The master and apprentice turned around and saw Zhuge Nan and Zhuge Sanyuan walking over. Zhuge Nan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Gao Junhui immediately fixed his eyes on Zhuge Sanyuan and said in a deep voice: "Did you save me?"
Zhuge Sanyuan nodded and said with a smile: "You are in pretty good shape. You were injured so badly and you can walk on the ground so quickly."
Not only did Gao Junhui not say thank you, he also asked coldly: "I don't know your surname Gao?"
If someone was so rude, Zhugenan would have glared at him, but he knew Gao Junhui very well and knew that he had this temper, so he took the initiative to introduce him: "Brother Gao, this is my adoptive father."
When Zhuge Sanyuan saw Gao Junhui's sharp eyes still staring at him, he could only say: "I, Zhuge Sanyuan."
Gao Junhui nodded and said, "Do you know the name of the bad guy last night?"
"His name is Yang Xuan."
"Thanks for letting me know."
Zhuge Sanyuan smiled and said: "Young man, although you are in good health, you should take a good rest now."
"I want to report something to His Highness. Do you know where he is?"
"His Royal Highness has entered the city with his army. If you have anything, you can tell me." Zhuge Nan said.
Gao Junhui immediately turned around and returned to the camp with Gongsun Xiaoniang.
Zhugenan touched his nose and muttered: "It's still so cold."
Suddenly, he noticed that his adoptive father looked at him with a strange look, and asked curiously: "Father, why are you looking at me like this?"
"I admire you."
Zhuge Nan smiled and said: "There are times when you admire me?"
"Yes, we probably won't be able to find anyone else in Dali Temple who has no sense of crisis like you."
Zhugenan crossed his arms and said, "I know you don't have nice things to say, so why don't I have a sense of crisis?"
"Did you see that little girl just now?"
"I saw it, what happened to her?"
"If you continue to be so ignorant, she will beat you down in three years. Do you believe it?"
"No, it's impossible." Zhuge Nan lost his voice.
Zhuge Sanyuan sneered and said: "That little girl's talent in martial arts is so high that I have never seen it in my life. If you don't work hard and you are defeated by her in three years, don't blame your adoptive father for not reminding you."
Zhuge Nan was secretly shocked.
He has been with his adoptive father for so long, but it is rare to see him praising other people's martial arts. Even Di Renjie and Nie Ziyun, he always scolded them for not practicing hard.
Now he actually praised a little girl so much. Could it be that the little girl's talent is really that high?
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, the sound of horse hoofbeats was faintly heard in the distance. Without asking, he knew that Wu Chengsi's army was back.
Zhuge Nan and Zhuge Sanyuan arrived at the gate of the camp together and saw Wu Chengsi wearing a white armor and a phoenix-winged helmet. Although he looked majestic, his face was not very good-looking.
Looking back, Hei Te Changzhi, Wang Fangyi, and Han Cheng all had sullen faces. Zhugenan felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that things must not go well.
On the way back to the commander's tent, no one said a word. After entering the tent, Zhugenan couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, did He Lan Minzhi run away?"
Wu Chengsi sat down behind the handsome case, nodded, and said solemnly: "The small courtyard is empty, and General Li Lang has also disappeared."
"How could this happen?" Zhugenan asked in surprise.
Hei Te Changzhi said loudly: "Of course there was an oversight somewhere, which allowed the other party to get wind of it in advance."
After speaking, he glanced at Han Cheng.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Han Cheng said displeased.
"General Han, did you show any flaws and He Lan Minzhi noticed it?" Hei Te Changzhi never likes to use roundabout ways when speaking.
Han Cheng said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
"I'm just discussing the matter. Otherwise, how could He Lan Minzhi escape? Li Duozuo is a Qianniu Guardsman after all. How can he still keep an eye on He Lan Minzhi?"
Han Cheng said angrily: "Brother Li is also missing, how can you put the responsibility on him?"
"One code is one code, and if something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility." Hei Chi Changzhi said in a rough voice.
Wang Fangyi frowned and said: "General Black Teeth, I don't think the problem lies with General Li Lang. If they had exposed their flaws, He Lanmin would have led his men to arrest General Li Lang long ago and would not have waited until now."
Hei Te Changzhi scratched his head and said: "If it's not him, who else could it be? Only a few of us are participating in this plan."
Having said this, his eyes turned to Wang Fangyi again.
"What do you want to see me do again?" Wang Fangyi frowned.
Black Teeth Changzhi hummed: "In my opinion, there is probably something wrong with your Qianniu Guards."
Before Wang Fangyi could speak, Han Cheng had already said coldly: "Why didn't you say it was your subordinate Zuo Wuwei's problem."
Black Teeth Changzhi actually nodded and said: "Yes, our Zuowuwei is also suspected, but Zuowuwei is the direct line of the general. You have also been in Zuowuwei, so you should know the possibility of our Zuowuwei leaking secrets."
Sex is extremely low!”
No matter how good-tempered Wang Fangyi was, he couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "You mean Qian Niuwei's suspicion is very high?"
"At least it's much more suspect than Zuo Wuwei!"
Wu Chengsi suddenly slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Okay, stop arguing. You all go back to your accounts. I want to be quiet for a while."
Wang Fangyi and Han Cheng glared at Heiji Changzhi and resigned together. Heiji Changzhi opened his mouth, then closed it again, then resigned and left.
Zhuge and his son did not leave, however. Zhuge Nan took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness, Lord Gao is awake and said he has something to report to you."
Wu Chengsi took a deep breath, nodded and said, "That's fine, you can follow me to meet him."
When they arrived at Gao Junhui's tent, they saw master and apprentice sitting opposite each other on a small table eating.
The most common big-pot meal in the military camp was eaten by the master and the apprentice with an artistic sense, one bite of rice, one bite of dish, slowly and without any chaos.
After seeing Wu Chengsi, Gao Jun would suddenly speed up and finish the food in his bowl in an instant. When Gongsun Xiaoniang saw the master speeding up, she also speeded up.
It's a pity that she still has learned how to eat like Gao Jun, so she gets a little flustered as soon as she wakes up. She often takes two or three mouthfuls of rice before picking up a bite of vegetables.
Gao Jun would put down his bowl and chopsticks, stand up, cup his hands and say, "Your Highness, long time no see."
A smile appeared on the stern face.
"Hello, uncle, your highness." Gongsun Xiaoniang stopped caring about eating and stood up to greet her.
Wu Chengsi touched Gongsun Xiaoniang's little head and said with a smile: "Are you still used to living in a military camp?"
Gao Junhui said softly: "This is a place where people can feel at ease."
Gongsun Xiaoniang looked at him strangely, as if she didn't expect that her master would say such flattering words.
Wu Chengsi smiled, walked to the bed and sat down, and said, "You want to see me if you have anything to do?"
Gao Junhui looked straight, nodded and said: "Your Highness, you should already know about Heicang Pier, right?"
"I know, and I would like to thank you for rescuing Miss Luwei."
Gao Junhui said in a deep voice: "Actually, two people were imprisoned at that dock at that time. It's a pity that I couldn't rescue the other one."
"Could that person be..."
Wu Chengsi thought for a moment that the other person was Xu Wenqing, but Lu Wei had clearly said that Xu Wenqing was separated from her, so he asked again: "Who is the other person?"
"It's a woman. She asked me to convey a message to you."
"What words?"
"She said that her family is an honest ship merchant, but her father was imprisoned because her competitors colluded with the government. She hopes that you will save her family."
Wu Chengsi frowned and said, "Did she say her name?"
"She said her name is Luo Shuixian and her uncle is King Luo Bin!"
Wu Chengsi rubbed his chin and thought about it. Of course he knew King Luo Bin, but Luo Shuixian had never heard of him.
After a pause, Wu Chengsi nodded and said, "I have taken note of this matter. When I have time in the future, I will send someone to investigate the situation."
…
The setting sun is like blood, the autumn wind is bleak, and most of the trees on Guanyin Mountain have withered.
Wu Chengsi stood on the hillside of Guanyin Mountain, looking at the Yangzhou City below. He suddenly felt that this city was like a fortress. Even though he had the most powerful army running, he could not capture it.
A gust of autumn wind blew, blowing up a piece of withered yellow leaves, bringing a bit of coolness.
In such an environment, Wu Chengsi felt that his mind suddenly became indescribably clear-headed, and some things that originally puzzled him suddenly became clear and coherent, with cause and effect connected.
At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him.
Wu Chengsi didn't look back and said, "Zhuge, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, how did you know it was me?" Zhugenan leaned over with a smile.
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Among the people around me, you and Hei Te Changzhi are the only ones who walk in such a hurry. However, his steps are heavier, and you are the only one who walks in such a hurry and at the same time light."
Zhuge Nan smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is a letter from Chang'an, which was personally delivered by a team of Qianniu Guards."
Wu Chengsi did not look back, looked at the setting sun, and said slowly: "Do you know what I was thinking here just now?"
Zhugenan shook his head, and then realized that Wu Chengsi couldn't see it, and said, "I don't know."
"I'm thinking of someone."
Zhuge Nan thought to himself: "Could it be Her Royal Highness the Princess?" He asked: "Who is it?"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "Yuan Shutong!"
"He? What do you want him to do?"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "Back then, my aunt sent countless capable people to serve as Yangzhou officials, but they failed to break the situation in Yangzhou. It was not until Yuan Shutong arrived that the situation seemed to have changed."
Zhuge Nan said: "Yes, it's not easy for Yuan Jishi."
Wu Chengsi turned around and said, "Don't you find it strange? How did Yuan Shutong gain a foothold in Yangzhou?"
Zhugenan blinked and said, "He must have his own way."
Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and said, "One more thing. I remember you told me that Xu Yuanju was detained in the Governor's Mansion before he was sent to Chang'an."
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"If you were the king of Yue, would you feel comfortable locking Xu Yuanju up with your enemy?"
Zhuge Nan was stunned for a moment, then finally understood and said in surprise: "Your Highness, are you doubting Yuan Shutong?"
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "Originally I just had some questions about him, but He Lan Minzhi's escape forced me to reconsider these questions.
"But Yuan Shutong doesn't know about our plan!"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "He really doesn't know the details, but this operation requires the army to enter the city, so I informed him in advance and ordered him to let the city gate guards cooperate with the army to enter the city."
Zhuge Nan suddenly said: "That's right. When our army enters the city, it will be difficult to bypass him."
Wu Chengsi said: "Although I didn't tell him what we were going to do, with so many troops entering the city, he must have guessed something."
Zhuge Nan took a deep breath and said: "If Yuan Shutong really has a problem, then in these years..."
"I'm afraid he was just putting on a show when he fought with the King of Yue in Yangzhou all these years," Wu Chengsi said coldly.
Zhuge Nan scratched his head and said: "Your Highness, if this is really the case, the situation will not be good. We might as well report to Her Highness the Queen and replace Yuan Shutong."
Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "It takes too much time to go back and forth. If we don't remove Yuan Shutong, it will be even more difficult to save Miss Xu. She is in danger now, and we can't keep her waiting for so long."
"
"But Yuan Shutong is a confidant of Her Royal Highness the Queen and has won her trust. If we attack him rashly, he will kill us and the Queen will become suspicious of you."
"So we need to use a method to first prove that Yuan Shutong is the traitor. As long as the evidence is solid and my aunt is not so confused, she will naturally be able to figure it out."
"Have you thought of a way?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "I hadn't thought of it at first, but after seeing you, I suddenly thought of a plan."
Zhuge Nan said excitedly: "Do you need me to implement this plan?"
"It's not you. After seeing you, I thought of another person. This plan needs to be realized with the help of him!"
Zhuge Nan was immediately disappointed and curled his lips and said, "Who are you talking about?"
"Ouyang Chong!"
Zhugenan was a little surprised. Ouyang Chong was a mere pirate who had nothing to do with Yuan Shutong. How could he prove that he was a traitor?
At this time, Wu Chengsi said: "By the way, give me the letter you just mentioned."
Zhugenan said "Oh" and took out a letter and handed it over.
Wu Chengsi took it and took a look, his expression changed instantly.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Wu Chengsi said slowly: "His Majesty has decided to enshrine Mount Tai, and in two months, we will also go there."
This letter was sent by Wu Mei. A few hours later, a letter with the same content was also sent to the military camp, but it was sent by Li Zhiying.
Li Zhiying's letter was actually sent a few days earlier than Wu Mei's. However, she asked a servant to deliver the letter, so naturally she couldn't match the postman's speed and fell behind.
