176 Jinling Rebellion and the Master of the Secret Door
Yi Junhan and Lu Minghui were both speechless for a moment.
Seeing Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng so decadent, Lu Minghui felt discouraged for a moment.
"It seems that if you want to take revenge on Zhenbei Palace, you can only find someone else."
Lu Minghui was thinking about it and was about to resign and leave.
But suddenly I heard a burst of laughter...it was Yi Junhan's laughter.
Lu Minghui was a little curious. Could it be that Yi Junhan also lost his mind and went crazy?
Before Lu Minghui could say anything.
Yi Junhan just opened his mouth and said——
"Your Highness, Prince Jin, are you prepared to stay drunk like this? Stay drunk until Prince Zhenbei and Princess Taiping get married, and stay drunk until Prince Yu or the Crown Prince ascends the throne!"
"... Above the court, there are either friends or enemies. Does the King of Jin think that by withdrawing from the fight for the crown prince at this moment, he can be alone?"
"joke!"
Yi Junhan was emotional. He thought about what happened to his father after he failed to compete with Yi Xiangtian for the head of the family.
"...If His Highness the King of Jin cannot seize the opportunity in the battle for the right to inherit the throne."
"...Once King Yu ascends the throne, there is no guarantee that he will not be expelled from the capital and die in a foreign land. Even the princess may be given Bai Ling poisonous wine and will live with hatred for the rest of her life."
"The King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty also faced such difficulties. With three thousand soldiers, he ascended to the throne through the 'Xuanwu Gate Change' and finally became a wise king who has been passed down for thousands of years."
"...His Royal Highness the King of Jin is now demoted to the rank of county king, but that is just a title. His Highness the King of Jin now has more than three thousand soldiers in his hands?"
"In the hearts of Daqian officers and soldiers, King Jin is the only wise candidate! Although the City Defense Department has been investigated, no other forces have infiltrated yet, and the lieutenants still obey your orders, King Jin."
"... Even General Yuchizuo left the city the day before yesterday and returned to his station. He is your biggest supporter, King Jin!"
"Zen throne? Seizing the throne? Usurping the throne? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. In the disputes in the court, how can there be any distinction between good and evil?"
"...The winner is naturally king! Nature is right!"
Yi Junhan spoke with great passion.
Zhao Lingcheng was still lying on the long desk, but his eyes suddenly opened, with a bright light shining in them.
He stood up leisurely and looked around.
"Yi Junhan, you are right."
"...The City Defense Department has not completely changed hands yet. I still have the Jinling garrison and General Yuchizuo in my hands!"
"... Before things come to an end, I still have a chance!"
Zhao Lingcheng's black eyes were faintly red.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. We will fight until death."
As he was talking, he suddenly pulled off the tiger talisman from his body that was used to mobilize the garrison in the Jinling area... This tiger talisman had not yet been taken away by the old emperor.
Zhao Lingcheng called out to his deputy general.
An army lieutenant general heard the news and came forward. Zhao Lingcheng handed him the tiger talisman in his hand and said coldly: "Take my tiger talisman, mobilize the garrison in the Jinling area and enter the city immediately!"
"...Send me someone from the City Defense Department. Tonight, open the city gates. Success or failure depends on this!"
…
…
Prince Jin's Mansion suddenly started to move.
And the palace is also dealing with new affairs...
During this period, the Yi family's two daughters disappeared one after another in Daqian territory, and the Yi family was furious.
This once caused an uproar among the government and the public, with hundreds of officials talking endlessly about it and making various speculations.
Both the Daqian court and the Yi family in the Western Regions paid special attention to this matter.
The old emperor Zhao Purui even specially sent two major agencies, Dongchang and Anmen, to investigate the matter in the court and court.
Even the Wulin Alliance is contributing to this matter.
Cao Xi, the governor of the East Factory, naturally knew the truth of the matter.
But he took special care of Yan Wulu, so Cao Xi decided to just act casually and forget about it.
As for the secret door...
It was on this day of the palace banquet that the banquet had just ended. When Yan Wulu returned to the mansion, he received a mysterious letter.
That was a letter that was shot into Yan's mansion together with the flying knife.
Above it is the "Plum Blossom Order" unique to the secret door owner.
Yan Wulu glanced at the letter and realized that the secret door owner wanted to talk to him alone.
The letters are closed.
Yan Wulu's face was still slightly drunk. He glanced at the candlestick beside him, and then threw the letter into the candlelight and burned it.
This kind of secret message must leave no trace and be burned after reading.
That night, Yan Wulu arrived at the location mentioned in the letter and went to meet the legendary secret door master who had never been known to anyone.
It was a secluded and elegant attic.
The dim candlelight replaced the bright [Moonstone] that was originally widely used in Jinling City.
This seemingly old wooden attic was obviously dilapidated inside.
But when Yan Wulu stepped on it, he suddenly discovered that the touch of the soles of his feet was even stronger than those stone brick steps made of cement and stones!
I believe that when the mechanics built this attic, they attached some auxiliary mechanics to it!
It is said that mechanics masters have some special Taoist techniques that are used to build magnificent monuments, which makes the profession of mechanics masters not lower than warriors in the hearts of the people.
And since there is such a Tao method that can strengthen buildings, then there must be some auxiliary Tao methods to prevent eavesdropping.
In this way, this place is really a good place for conspiracy...
Yan Wulu thought in his heart.
He slowly walked towards the interior of the wooden attic.
An attendant wearing a secret door uniform appeared, seemingly specially to lead him...
Yan Wulu was not sure which entity in the secret door he would encounter next.
But he knew that this person would definitely not be harmful to him, and might even be someone who came to help him.
Because if the owner of the secret door really wanted to harm him, or had other ideas, he would not have taken any risks and would have just given him that letter.
In fact, when Yan Wulu first entered Jinling City, he received a secret overture from the secret agent.
That was before entering the palace for the first time and meeting Prince Zhao Lingfeng.
Of course, Yan Wulu was well hidden at that time, and no one else noticed this clue about him.
In fact, even Wang Gonggong and others who had been near Yan Wulu at that time did not notice it.
However, Yan Wulu still inevitably has a hint of curiosity in his heart...
Who could this person be, this person who came to negotiate with him on behalf of the secret door master?
Why did he choose himself? And not others?
The second floor of this dilapidated building has a completely different style from the first floor.
It is no longer the room building of an ordinary residential house, but has a decorative style like the inner palace of the Daqian royal family.
If this is the case, then it is no wonder that a reinforcing mechanic's Taoist method was applied to the first floor of the pavilion for blessing.
Because without the existence of this kind of mechanism, I am afraid that the dilapidated building on the first floor would not be able to bear the weight of the second floor, the tall and magnificent interior decoration of the palace.
Obviously, as a secret door secret agent transfer point, it should be made more concealed and ordinary.
But this man actually went to a lot of trouble to build such a luxurious attic palace under the hidden and dilapidated appearance.
This also reveals a certain character of the representative of this secret door - he likes such luxurious things.
Treat it as a treasure trove just as you love other treasures and money.
And the so-called low-key appearance may be just a way for him to disguise his true inner desires.
However, these characteristics are actually insignificant to Yan Wulu.
"squeak--"
After the last gate of the palace was opened by the secret door guards, a somewhat old and shabby sound came out.
The guard at the secret door who was responsible for guiding the way stepped aside, bowed and extended his hand, asking Yan Wulu to enter.
Yan Wulu quietly took a look inside the door and then entered slowly.
"Long time no see, Your Highness."
A familiar voice came from the gorgeous attic palace.
Yan Wulu originally had all kinds of doubts, but when he saw the other person for the first time, he seemed to understand everything instantly...
Yan Wulu couldn't help but chuckle.
He opened his mouth and responded——
"It turns out it's you, His Royal Highness."
…
The second floor of Accord.
Prince Zhao Lingfeng is sitting on a large wooden Taishi chair. He is wearing a simple and exquisite prince's python robe. He is not decorated with too many gem sachets like Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui, but he is still not inferior at all, with a low-key look.
A sense of quaint atmosphere.
Next to his chair, there seems to be a simple and common hardwood crutch.
I heard that in the winter of this year, the prince's leg disease recurred and was even more serious than before. He now needs crutches to walk.
When I see it now, what I said is true.
It wasn't until much later that Yan Wulu learned that Zhao Lingfeng's seemingly ordinary hardwood crutch was actually worth more than a gold cane.
Prince Zhao Lingfeng slightly stretched out his hand to signal, and Yan Wulu sat on the side of the Grand Master's chair opposite to him across the long purple-robed case.
Zhao Lingfeng is the master of the secret door.
It's no wonder that the last time I was in the palace, after meeting the secret agent's overtures, I met the prince Zhao Lingfeng.
It also explains why Zhao Lingfeng had to find himself in the palace one step ahead of Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui.
After all, knowing the whereabouts of Prince Zhenbei should be easy for the secret door.
Zhao Lingfeng began to explain to Yan Wulu the reason for inviting him to meet this time.
As the master of the secret door, Zhao Lingfeng has already investigated that it was Yan Wulu who took away Yi Qiuyue, and it was Yan Wulu who kidnapped Yi Hanmiao halfway.
Although there is not yet strong enough evidence to prove this.
But when doing things through a secret door, the last thing you need is evidence.
However, Zhao Lingfeng added to Yan Wulu——
"I actually don't want to marry the second daughter of the Yi family. I have a woman I like. She is a kind-hearted woman from a commoner background. But Yi Hanmiao, after all, was married to me by my father. I can't refuse, and I can't
reject."
"...So, Prince, please rest assured, I will not tell anyone else about this."
"...I am very grateful to you, Prince, for disrupting this marriage. No matter what your purpose is."
Yan Wulu smiled lightly, concealing the curiosity and speculation in his heart.
He originally thought that the secret guard system of Zhenbei Palace had done an excellent job of covering up the information on this matter.
But I didn't expect that Zhao Lingfeng's subordinates would still find out...
However, the prince didn't seem to be prepared to challenge himself because of this matter.
Yan Wulu became more and more curious and said——
"The prince specially asked me to come here late at night, presumably not just to thank me, right?"
"I can't hide it from the Crown Prince."
Zhao Lingfeng smiled humbly and continued: "...I have something to do, and I need the prince to join hands with us to face it together."
"What's the matter?"
"The fourteenth old man, Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng, will force the palace tonight!"
…
"Old Fourteen secretly mobilized the garrison in the Jiangnan area of Jinling and went straight to Jinling City, totaling about 30,000 people."
"...There are also many people in the Forbidden Palace and the City Defense Department who have secretly contacted Old Fourteen, thinking they are inside."
Prince Zhao Lingfeng calmly told these events that shocked everyone.
His attitude was so calm, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
Yan Wulu seemed to be a little surprised.
He suddenly remembered Qingsi's reminder before leaving—Jin Wang Zhao Lingcheng was never one to sit back and wait for death.
"So, why did His Highness the Crown Prince tell me this instead of reporting it to His Majesty?"
Yan Wulu asked.
Prince Zhao Lingfeng pushed the tea on the side of the purple-shirted long case in front of Yan Wulu and said——
"Even if my father knows this now, I'm afraid it's too late to make countermeasures at this moment."
"...So, instead of letting my father worry for nothing, it would be better for me to solve this problem first."
"Solve it? How to solve it? With the secret door in the hands of His Royal Highness?"
Yan Wulu replied to Zhao Lingfeng that he did not think that was the most appropriate way to deal with it.
Prince Zhao Lingfeng chuckled lightly, "The secret door is just a secret agent after all. It is not a specialty for defending the city and killing people."
"...I have asked General Xizhu for help and mobilized the Yangtze River navy stationed at Poyang Lake and the garrison in the East Vietnam area to come to Jinling."
"...However, it will take another day for these troops, the fastest Yangtze River navy, to arrive."
"...and Old Fourteen's army will be able to enter the city in the middle of the night."
Yan Wulu understood what Zhao Lingfeng meant, and he said: "So... Your Highness, you came to see me?"
"Yes. And it's not just you, Prince Zhenbei."
"...The city defense department is all composed of people from the fourth generation. I am afraid that Jinling City cannot be defended. I have sent my subordinates to gather 3,000 imperial guards in the palace."
"...However, Old Fourteen is good at fighting. Facing the 30,000 troops in his hands and the palace guards hidden in the dark, I, the 3,000 imperial guards, have no confidence in holding the imperial city for a day."
As the prince Zhao Lingfeng spoke, he rarely showed a hint of worry.
But the next moment, his eyes flickered, he looked at the person in front of him, and said -
"However, there is always a way out."
"...the Prince of Zhenbei is surrounded by five hundred of the most elite battlefield masters of Da Gan."
"...In addition, Prince Pingxi and Prince Dingnan each have five hundred elite troops around them. If they can get help from the three princes, they will definitely be able to defend the imperial city and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"We are well paid, loyal to the emperor and serve the country, as we should."
Yan Wulu gently tapped the purple-shirted long case, and he thought -
"...However, the Sixth Division of Da Gan, the military aircraft division under King Yu, also has countless warriors who are good at fighting. Why don't His Highness the Prince also inform King Yu."
"I have informed Lao Jiu as the master of the secret door. Presumably, he has already mobilized soldiers in the military aircraft department."
"I see, I said too much." Yan Wulu understood.
Although he had known for a long time that the prince Zhao Lingfeng was by no means a weak person.
But when we talked today, I realized that the other person was as smart as a fool.
Come to think of it, even Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui is known for his poisonous schemes, isn't he also in Zhao Lingfeng's plan at this moment?
