After sending Haidu away, Murong Fu quietly recovered his true form and left the mansion, arriving at the abandoned garden not far from the Galdan Mansion, where Xiao Zhao and some people from the Blood Shadow Palace were already waiting.
When Xiao Zhao saw Murong Fu, he immediately threw himself in front of him excitedly, "Master, just hope you're okay."
Murong Fu chuckled lightly, "You have so little confidence in the young master?"
Xiao Zhao stuck out his tongue and said, "This is Dadu after all."
"What's wrong with Dadu? You just come when you say you want to come and leave when you say you want." Murong Fu said with a proud smile.
At this time, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace came forward to greet him and said, "See you, Young Master."
Murong Fu raised his hand and said, "No courtesy."
Today, the relationship between the Blood Shadow Palace and the Murong family has become semi-open, and there is no need to hide it anymore. Murong Fu does not wear any mask, and the people in the Blood Shadow Palace have long known that Mr. Murong of the Murong family is the Blood Shadow Palace.
The master of the Shadow Palace.
The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace stood up and stood quietly, waiting for Murong Fu's order.
Murong Fu took a cursory look and saw that there were only twenty or thirty people. He couldn't help but frown slightly, "Only this few people came?"
Xiao Zhao didn't know how to answer. A disciple of the Blood Shadow Palace came out and said, "Master Qi, some of the disciples have not yet entered the city. The total number should be sixty."
"Sixty people..." Murong Fu still frowned, obviously still a little dissatisfied with this number.
The disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace hurriedly explained, "It's like this. Since the war started in Xiangyang City, the disciples of the Blood Shadow Palace in all states in the world have been ordered to withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River. The subordinates and others were left on standby because they were in a special place. The number of them was not the same.
not much."
Murong Fu suddenly realized that the so-called special boundary refers to Dadu. He had taken away most of the Murong family's strength, causing an unprecedented emptiness in Yanziwu. Li Mochou had to recall all his disciples, but because Dayuan was a warring party, he left Dadu behind.
Disciples nearby in case of emergencies.
"Sir, if we don't have enough manpower, let's think of other ways?" Xiao Zhao whispered. In fact, she wanted to ask Murong Fu what he needed so many manpower for.
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, "Forget it, there is a shortage of manpower in various places now, and we can't spare it for a while, so let's leave it at that."
The disciple who had answered before knelt down on one knee and said, "Don't worry, Sir, I will fight to the death to complete the mission."
Murong Fu said noncommittally, "Get up, what's your name?"
"My subordinate Wen Zheng, with the permission of the palace master, is temporarily in charge of various strongholds in Gyeonggi Province."
"Wen Zheng?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, "This surname is quite rare."
Wen Zheng didn't know what he meant, so he replied somewhat flattered, "Fortunately, Wen is a common surname in my hometown."
Murong Fu said casually, "Where is your hometown?"
"Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas." Wen Zheng answered vaguely, without specifying the specific states or counties.
Murong Fu just asked casually, with no intention of getting to the bottom of it, and turned to talk about business, "Since you have been lurking near Dadu, you must have heard about the four great khanates of the Yuan Dynasty, right?"
Everyone nodded in unison, and Wen Zheng replied, "I have heard that the four sons of Emperor Yuan conquered the countries in the Western Regions and established their own khanate."
Then he talked about the situation of the four great khanates, but they were all well-known things. Murong Fu was disappointed in the end when he heard that there was not as much information as he himself knew.
Wen Zheng rolled his eyes when he saw this, "Sir, I heard a brother talk about a strange thing this morning, saying that he encountered an earthquake on the way here."
"Earthquake?"
"Yes, that brother was on his way at night. When he heard the noise, he immediately went to investigate. He once saw a black cloud passing by from a distance. Unfortunately, the black cloud was too fast and had disappeared by the time he chased after him."
Murong Fu was silent after hearing this. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "What black cloud? That's the cavalry!"
"Cavalry?" Wen Zheng was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, "When the young master said that, he really looks like a cavalry!"
When Murong Fu heard this, he immediately understood. This man had obviously thought of it a long time ago, but he deliberately said it to make him guess.
"You're very good at things." After figuring out the connection, Murong Furuo gave Wen Zheng a meaningful look, and then asked, "When did this happen? Where was it? Where is this disciple now?"
Wen Zheng replied, "Go back to the young master, I heard from the brother that the incident happened the night before yesterday on a mountain more than 200 miles west of Dadu. The brother who brought the news is still outside the city. I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the city until night."
Nowadays, most of the city gates are heavily guarded, making it inconvenient to enter and exit. If a swarm of swarms comes in, it will easily arouse suspicion, so they have to sneak in in batches.
Murong Fu frowned after hearing this, "It's more than two hundred miles away. If we calculate the time, we should have reached the vicinity of Chang'an City. Why is there no movement at all? Whose cavalry does this belong to?"
Kublai Khan's family only had 150,000 cavalry, and after allocating 50,000, only 100,000 were left. They were stationed in a camp twenty miles east of Chang'an City. Even if the 50,000 cavalry were allocated back, they would not be able to come back from the west.
, so Kublai Khan...
Murong Fu was about to eliminate Kublai Khan when he suddenly remembered that there was support from the Ilkhanate behind Kublai Khan. It made sense for the Ilkhanate's reinforcements to come from the west.
Naturally, there would be no clues based on guessing. Murong Fu simply said to Wen Zheng, "Send a message outside the city and leave a few people behind. We must find out the whereabouts of this group of cavalry and their origins."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zheng immediately turned around and pointed at a disciple and said, "You, immediately go out of the city to convey the Young Master's order, leaving a small group of men behind to check the whereabouts of the cavalry."
"Yes!" The Blood Shadow Palace disciple responded and left in a hurry.
Wen Zheng then asked Murong Fu, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"
A cold light flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, "I want you to find out the names of the people in the two camps of Ali Buge and Kublai Khan as quickly as possible, including their whereabouts and addresses. Once you find out, don't act rashly and wait for my order.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath, then clasped their fists and said, "I will obey the order of the young master."
Murong Fu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You don't have to be so loud, it will be very troublesome if you attract attention."
Fortunately, there are not many people nearby, otherwise such a big movement would have been noticed long ago.
Everyone immediately shut up, and Wen Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Sir, we have fewer people. It would be difficult to find out the power of these two people immediately. I wonder if you have a deadline?"
Murong Fu pondered for a moment, "Tomorrow night at the latest."
Wen Zheng's expression changed when he heard this, "This..."
"I know this is very difficult. All I need is for you to identify a few key personnel. That's it. I will find a way to have someone send a list over."
"Thank you, sir."
"Okay, take action now. Remember, be careful and don't expose your whereabouts, otherwise no one can save you."
"I'll understand later."
After the explanation was clear, Murong Fu immediately took Xiao Zhao away, found a remote corner, and said to Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, you quietly go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, find the two elders Xuan Ming, and ask them to draw up a list.
.”
Xiao Zhao nodded obediently, and then asked, "Sir, will Han Ji be okay if she stays alone in the inn?"
Murong Fu was a little nervous at the time. Han Ji had been frightened and worried about gains and losses since he abducted her from the palace. Previously, she was fine with Xiao Zhao by her side. Now that Xiao Zhao has come out, she will inevitably have random thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, Murong Fu finally made up his mind, "Forget it, leave her alone for now."
Xiao Zhao couldn't bear it, "When I hand over the list to Wen Zheng and the others, they can go back and see her, so as not to cause any trouble."
Murong Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine, but it's hard work for you. After finishing this matter, you have to come back and continue to pretend to be me."
