Early the next morning, Xu Yingxu led a group of guardsmen to Prince Dai's Mansion.
And among their ranks was a carriage covered with black cloth, with nothing visible on it.
However, the carriage entered from behind Prince Dai's Mansion and never came out again.
In the dungeon of Prince Dai's Mansion, Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu stood in front of the execution frame, looking at the man tied to it.
Xu Yingxu explained: "This is the Jin Yiwei who came to the guard station last night. He wants me to send troops to attack the Prince's Mansion."
Xu Yingxu's face was calm, but there was still a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he was remembering what Zhu Gui said to him yesterday.
If there was no foreshadowing yesterday, just based on Jin Yiwei's actions last night, he would have followed the 'emperor's order' to a large extent.
Zhu Gui nodded and asked the soldiers to take away the thing stuffed in the mouth of the Jin Yiwei.
The Jin Yiwei stared at them and shouted to the two of them: "I didn't expect that you are all in the same group. You are all rebels. Haha, you can't run away. The emperor will soon send a large army to destroy you."
Seeing this, Zhu Gui knew that nothing could be asked from this fanatic, so he asked his soldiers to gag him again.
"My lord, what do you plan to do with him?" Xu Yingxu asked with an ugly expression.
The Jin Yiwei's words just now still made him feel the pressure, as if he had really become a rebel by doing so.
"Let's hold him here first," Zhu Gui said.
"Why not...?" Xu Yingxu made a scratching sound.
He saw with his own eyes that Zhu Gui killed dozens of Jin Yiwei. Why didn't he kill this one when it was his turn?
Zhu Gui walked to a place where the Jin Yiwei couldn't hear him and said to Xu Yingxu: "It seems that the Jin Yiwei's action is not aimed at you alone. They should have sent people to lobby others. The king's previous execution of those Jin Yiwei was self-defense."
, and it can erase all traces, this is different."
Xu Yingxu nodded.
"Will they contact Zhang Mao?"
Xu Yingxu thought for a while and said.
"It's very possible that I have sent someone to invite him just now. If he doesn't come, he will be on the opposite side of me."
Zhu Gui sighed and said.
In fact, he took good care of Zhang Mao. If the relationship between the two was torn apart just because of this incident, Zhu Gui would be a little regretful.
However, in the face of "righteousness", Zhu Gui would not be surprised no matter what Zhang Mao chooses.
After the two left the dungeon, the soldiers who went to the county governor's mansion had returned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mao actually came.
"On behalf of the king, I wonder what the important matter is for summoning a humble official?" Zhang Mao bowed his head and said with great respect.
"Please come with me. I have something to discuss with you in detail."
Zhu Gui even asked Xu Yingxu to wait outside the door, and took Zhang Mao into a secret room in the backyard.
After walking for a stick of incense, Zhu Gui stopped. Except for the two of them, there was no one else.
"Okay, you can take off your disguise."
Zhu Gui suddenly turned around, took out his pistol and pointed it at Zhang Mao.
"Bizhi, I don't know what the prince is talking about." Zhang Mao said in a panic.
It seemed that he was afraid of the firearm in Zhu Gui's hand, but his hands were wrapped behind his back.
"Although you imitate Zhang Mao's voice very much, you are a military commander after all. Neither the murderous aura in your body nor the kung fu on your feet can be hidden."
Zhu Gui said calmly.
Zhang Mao was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his feet, then took off the disguise on his face, revealing a royal uniform.
"Hahaha, it is said in Yunzhou that the king is unpredictable. Today I saw it, and it is true. Cui admires him."
This person is none other than Cui Baihu from Shanxi Jinyiwei branch.
Zhu Gui's expression did not change at all at the other party's praise: "How is Zhang Mao?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Zhang Mao is an official of the imperial court. His humble position has not done anything to him. However, he is still loyal to the Prince. He even dares to disobey the Emperor's will. The Prince's method of winning people's hearts is really extraordinary.
"
Cui Baihu said angrily.
"Huh, the emperor's decree? Do you deserve this?" Zhu Gui took out the blank imperial edict from his arms and threw it on the ground.
When Cui Baihu saw that there was no word on the scattered imperial edict, he was stunned for a moment: "This..."
"Jinyiwei falsely conveyed the imperial edict and attacked the vassal king with the intention of treason. Do you still want to continue to help?"
Zhu Gui shouted sharply.
The expression on Cui Baihu's face changed several times. He was thinking about whether Zhu Gui's words were true or false.
The Jin Yiwei were ordered by the emperor, will they really rebel?
However, this imperial edict on earth is indeed true. Is he really determined to go against a prince?
After a while, Cui Baihu's expression finally stabilized. He pulled out his two swords from his back and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I am a royal guard in a humble position and only obey the emperor's orders. Even if someone really falsely conveys the imperial edict, it is not a humble function."
Something to doubt."
With that said, Cui Baihu flew up and struck at Zhu Gui, but his target was Zhu Gui's gun-holding wrist. It seemed that although he had made a decision, Zhu Gui's words had shaken his heart, so he did not
Make a killing move.
But Zhu Gui will not sit still and wait for death.
The two of them were only a few steps away, and he fired both guns, directly hitting the vital parts of Cui Baihu's body.
Although Cui Baihu had heard that the private soldiers of Prince Dai had excellent firearms, they had never fought against them.
As a result, I suffered a big loss this time.
Fortunately, as a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, not only is his movement skills excellent, but the armor on his body is also much better than that of ordinary Jinyiwei.
So although he was knocked back by the bullet, he did not die immediately.
And Zhu Gui didn't have a last-ditch attack either.
He just pressed the button, and soon several soldiers rushed in from outside and captured Cui Baihu.
"Because of your loyalty and bravery, I will spare your life first so that you can know the truth of the matter in the future."
Zhu Gui said to the dying Cui Baihu.
Cui Baihu's expression was complicated, but because of his serious injuries, he was carried away without being able to say a word.
And Xu Yingxu quickly rushed over.
"My lord, have you known for a long time that he is pretending? You are not allowed to take risks like this again. Otherwise, what will happen to the princess?"
Xu Yingxu said eagerly.
"Okay, General Xu, I have my own sense of discretion. Okay, okay, okay, if I know about it, why not? It won't be like this in the future."
Zhu Gui initially didn't take it seriously, but when he saw Xu Yingxu wanted to speak again, he immediately changed his tune.
Although this matter has been resolved, it also shows that Datong Mansion has been infiltrated by Jin Yiwei.
How many people they persuaded and what they wanted to do were all things Zhu Gui knew nothing about.
But now the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear, which also puts Zhu Gui into a passive situation.
But he is not the kind of person who will sit still and wait for death.
