Chapter 10 The Heroic Twilight (3)
Chapter 10: The hero is old (three)
I would like to express heavy condolences to the victims in the Wenchuan earthquake!
"Your Majesty, how is Sister Lan Rong doing today?" Ma Gu asked suddenly with concern.
"She is fine, she has the queen taking care of her. She is probably still in Kunning Palace now. You were not there last night. Didn't you see her?" Zhu Yinglong looked at Ma Gu in question and said.
"Oh, I saw it." Magu's face turned red. She was absent-minded last night and didn't notice much about Lan Rong.
"The emperor issued an order to kill Lan Rong's adopted father. At this moment, she must be very resentful to the emperor, right?" Ma Gu asked, "I didn't know what she was thinking.
"After all, Lan Lin raised her and grew up, it is inevitable that she would hate me, and I didn't really want to kill Lan Lin." Zhu Yinglong sighed. Ma Gu was extremely smart, so he didn't need to hide it from her.
"So that's how it is!" Ma Gu frowned slightly, and then asked, "Have the emperor ever thought that before asking Lan Lin, would Sister Lan Rong visit her adoptive father in prison?"
"What does beloved concubine mean?" Zhu Yinglong felt that there seemed to be something in Magu's words, and he couldn't help but raise his head and stare at Magu's eyes, and his brows gently squeezed into the word "chuan".
"If someone takes Lan Rong's sister hostage and threatens the emperor to release Lan Lin, what will the emperor do?" Ma Gu blinked her eyes lightly and asked slowly.
In an instant, Zhu Yinglong's pupils suddenly shrank, and Magu's reminder made him immediately understand the biggest loophole in his plan. Since Lan Rong's suspicion was removed, he subconsciously did not consider Lan Rong in his plan. This huge neglect may be fatal.
And Lan Rong is already pregnant at this time!
"Thank you, my beloved, for reminding me, I almost caused a huge disaster." A layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Zhu Yinglong's forehead. If something really happened, he really didn't know how to deal with it. Maybe he really wanted to replace Lan Lin back to Lan Rong and let the tiger return to the mountain.
"Your Majesty, why don't we take the initiative?" Magu said.
"What do you mean by beloved concubine?" Zhu Yinglong vaguely guessed what Magu was thinking.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. If there are really mantis, why don't we be that oriole?" Magu smiled sweetly and said confidently.
Zhu Yinglong made a decision. It was not that he was indecisive, but because Lan Rong was pregnant, which was betting on the safety of their mother and son's lives. It also had to be in the situation that Lan Rong didn't know. Otherwise, if the news leaked, it would be hard to say whether the traitors in Wuwei Sect would be deceived. Moreover, there is no sure plan in this world. If the other party's talented and intelligent person sees through or has a dike, he will undoubtedly put Lan Rong and his son in danger.
Magu naturally saw the emperor's concerns. Now even if she was fully confident, she would not dare to persuade the emperor to implement this plan. If something went wrong or any damage to Lan Rong, the crime would be counted on her at that time. At that time, the sisters would inevitably feel a grudge. If it were an irrelevant person, she would have spoken to persuade the emperor to take this risk!
"In fact, the emperor does not have to make things difficult. As long as he issues a strict order, he restricts his sister Lan Rong from walking out of the palace gate within ten days. If a large number of guards follow him in and out, he will naturally be safe and sound." Ma Gu suggested.
"That's all that." Zhu Yinglong nodded, "But you guys should stay in the palace for these ten days and don't go anywhere."
"I know that even if I want to go out, I will bring enough guards. In the city, those traitors will not be too arrogant!" Magu said with a confident smile.
"In fact, why didn't the emperor send someone to disguise himself as Lan Rong's sister? As long as there is a little similarity, the thieves cannot get close to them and look closely. I believe it is difficult to find flaws, and then leave the palace to deliberately hide them. In this way, the thieves will definitely believe it. We will send someone to follow them and capture these thieves in one fell swoop. In this way, they will catch these rebellions of the Wuwei Sect, and will not put Sister Lan Rong in danger." Li Yao said at this time.
"Good idea, why didn't I expect it?" Zhu Yinglong slapped his thigh and said in surprise.
Magu also had a smile on her face. Although the plan seemed simple, everyone often had different directions of consideration, which would easily lead to some wrong paths, especially if they were concerned. These are really three cobblers, one of them was Zhuge Liang!
With this preliminary consensus, the three people began to discuss the steps of implementing the strategy, especially in some details, Zhu Yinglong was not good at it, and Ma Gu, who was as careful as a child, was the best at improving these things, so most of the work was handed over to her, while Li Yao was a leader and was good at acting, so she had the idea that Zhu Yinglong would take it. Ma Gu planned the details, and Li Yao personally formulated the action plan.
This is really a matter of the unity of husband and wife, and their profits are enough to cut off gold!
The topographic map of the road from the First Prison to the capital was spread out. Due to heavy snow, the snow was buried in the knees. This was a heavenly blessing for the mantis, but it became extremely difficult for the oriole's actions. Moreover, there were few pedestrians after the heavy snow. This was easier for the thief of the Wuwei Sect to hide and act and not easily discovered. In addition to a few sections of roads that are very easy to ambush and kill, there are also random places where they are buried in the snow on the side of the road, and it is difficult to find them. Moreover, these thieves will also choose to flee in some open places because this will help them escape in all directions after success. Even if the officers and soldiers arrive in time, they do not know which direction to pursue.
Therefore, for the court, mantis is easy to make, but difficult to make oriole.
And he can't even alert the snake. Zhu Yinglong was deeply touched by the deep hidden hidden in Wuwei Sect, and the accuracy of their intelligence also made him very afraid. He won this battle with his close friend but he didn't know the enemy. I'm afraid that luck would take at least seven percent of the time, and the fact is indeed the case.
"Your Majesty, why don't we go on a dangerous situation?" Magu looked at the official road leading to the First Prison, and his expression was not relaxed at all. The weather and place were all on his side. Even if there were good plans, it would be difficult to implement. Unless he waited for a few more days and the weather was good, the melting of snow on the roadside might be beneficial to his side and also to quickly mobilize the army.
"Your Majesty, I just thought, why don't we do this..." Ma Gu said an idea that had just come to mind.
After hearing this, Zhu Yinglong was silent for a while before saying, "The solution is a good solution, but it seems too dangerous."
"Emperor, although this is very dangerous, the emperor can rest assured that since these traitors in the Wuwei Sect have a purpose, they will definitely not hurt people. If we follow them secretly, we may find their hiding place. In this way, we will not only catch these traitors, but also capture their leaders!" Magu said.
"What if they are not fooled, or they discover our plan?" Li Yao asked with some concern.
"If they are not fooled, it proves that there are no wise people among these thieves, so it will naturally be much easier to deal with." Magu said with a relaxed smile.
Zhu Yinglong also firmly decided at this time: "Phoenixer said it right. If you want to catch these thieves, you will naturally have some sacrifices. I think Fenghuanger's method is the most likely sacrifice and the one with the greatest results. But I am worried that if these thieves recognize this "Lan Rong" and are not the other "Lan Rong", once these people know my intentions, it will be even more difficult to catch them next, especially if the mastermind behind the scenes is not removed, it will always be a disaster!"
"The emperor's worries are not bad, but it seems that it is not your style before things can be done." If Ma Gu hadn't been extremely familiar with Zhu Yinglong, she might have been wondering if the emperor in front of her was real!
"Yes, when did I become so indecisive?" Zhu Yinglong's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he was enlightened. Magu's words woke him up like a morning bell and murmured drum. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things recently that made him unable to sleep or eat, and he wouldn't have become so worried about gains and losses. It seems that it is very necessary to have a clear-headed woman Zhuge beside him to remind him at any time. As the saying goes, one person is short of the plan and two are the plan!
Then the plan was soon finalized, and the three of them carefully studied the details, and then authorized Magu to fully command this "hunting" operation.
In order to cooperate with the plan and to treat everyone equally, Zhu Yinglong issued an order for all the concubines in the harem as soon as he returned to the Yangxin Palace. In the next ten days, without his permission, the concubines could only stay in the imperial city and were not allowed to step out of the palace gate.
Everyone knows that this decree is only aimed at Lan Rong, and the others have suffered unrestrained disasters. However, the snow outside the palace is covered with heavy snow, there is only a few street markets, and there is no place to go. In addition, the weather is severe and cold, it is better to stay in the warm palace, play chess and card entertainment with peace of mind!
It was not long before Zhu Yinglong issued this secret order, and the news had already reached Xu Rongrong's ears. She saw her sneering at the notes of the message, as if she had expected such a result.
Xu Rongrong quickly issued an order to closely monitor the palace gates, because she expected that Lan Rong would find an opportunity to leave the palace quietly. Although she belonged to different parents, Xu Rongrong had a chess piece next to Lan Rong, so she could know everything about Lan Rong clearly, even when Zhu Yinglong was lucky, how long, how many people, and where? Xu Rongrong was even clearer than the eunuch who recorded daily life notes in the palace.
It is not difficult to find someone to disguise herself as Lan Rong. What is difficult is that Lan Rong has superb martial arts and pregnancy, which brings great difficulties to Ma Gu to select candidates. The news that Lan Rong is pregnant has spread throughout the six palaces, which brings great difficulties to the implementation of the plan.
There are also many palace maids who know some martial arts in the palace. Most of them come to the palace after strict review. On the one hand, they serve the empresses in the palace, and on the other hand, they also protect the safety of the empresses who do not know the martial arts in the emergency situation. Therefore, there is no big problem with the candidates.
However, after comparing height, fatness, thinness and skills, there are not many qualified ones left. Finally, Magu and Li Yao focused their attention on a palace maid, who was Lan Rong's personal palace maid Mei Xiang.
Mei Xiang's figure is similar to Lan Rong, and her body shape is also very similar. Before Mei Xiang entered the palace, she learned some martial arts with her cruel parents and some skills. After entering the palace, she was sent to Lan Rong to serve. The master and servant had a good relationship. In her spare time, Lan Rong also taught some martial arts to Mei Xiang. Therefore, Mei Xiang's martial arts are all filled with Lan Rong's shadow. If she pretended to be Lan Rong, at least it would not be discovered too quickly in martial arts. However, Mei Xiang was sold to the palace by her parents for a long time, and it has been four or five years. However, she has only served Lan Rong for one year. Although she is usually accused and diligent, she has never made any mistakes. But Ma Gu is a little worried about Mei Xiang's origin. Put the danger aside for this matter, but those who must be executed must be loyal and reliable.
So Magu felt that before using this plum fragrance, you must first touch Lan Rong indirectly, and you must first understand this plum fragrance.
After learning about it, Ma Gu shouted that she was lucky. Fortunately, she did not make a blind decision. Lan Rong had been in ninja training in Japan for more than ten years. With her intelligence, she was naturally very good at observing her words and expressions. It turned out that Lan Rong did not doubt Mei Xiang's true identity and purpose at the beginning. She was abandoned by her parents because of her illness. Then she felt very destined to be with her, so she took her to her side. However, Lan Rong gradually discovered that Xiao Mei Xiang was unique.
Because she found that this little girl sometimes had extraordinary maturity and calmness, and all the curiosity and panic she showed were deliberately pretending, but she pretended too well. If Lan Rong had not experienced such special training, she might not have discovered Mei Xiang's abnormality.
This was just a preliminary doubt. Later, something made her feel suspicious. It was because Mei Xiang had extraordinary understanding of some of the skills of ninjas. Mei Xiang usually showed no outstanding intelligence, but the progress of other martial arts seemed to be not so obvious. In various signs, Lan Rong believed that Mei Xiang had experienced ninja training. In order not to make Mei Xiang have doubts, and to investigate Mei Xiang's purpose and the people behind the scenes, with the relationship between Wuwei Cult and Japanese shogunate ninjas, Mei Xiang was very likely to be from the same place as her, and both Wuwei Cult were the past.
As a result, she deliberately concealed the secret and deliberately had a good relationship with it, and almost said anything. She seemed to be intimate. She was the master and servant in the open, but was like a sister in secret, but was secretly investigating whether Mei Xiang had other accomplices in the palace. By chance, she found that Mei Xiang was secretly in contact with people outside the palace. This was how she strengthened her suspicion, but she did not act, but remained silent as if nothing had happened, and everything was the same. If Magu had not chosen Mei Xiang by the plan, Lan Rong would not have revealed her suspicion in advance.
