Bright Spring

Hu Wei and Yao Fang looked at each other.Yao Fang didn't say a word, Hu Min said, "Where is Madam from, how do you know about this?"

The woman finally answered: "My husband's family name is Duan."

"Mrs. Duan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Hu Wei clasped his fists and said, "Madam, why don't you talk about something in Kunming City, but you have to walk hundreds of miles away?"

Mrs. Duan said: "Before I wanted to find the King of Han, but he caught me and imprisoned me for two months. The King of Han didn't believe me. Now I don't know what Mr. Hu thinks and whether he believes me. In Kunming City, you Wouldn't it be bad if you caught me too?"

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "I got some clues and immediately came to Dali without leaving the long distance. That is because I sincerely want to find out the truth. Dare I ask Mrs. Duan, why are you interested in this matter?"

Mrs. Duan sneered: "I just want to deal with the Mu family."

Hu Wei nodded, half-believing and half-doubting: "So that's the case."

He was thinking about it and wanted to ask what was the relationship between this woman and the Mu family.

Mrs. Duan was silent for a moment, then she still said: "Emperor Jianwen hid in Dali and was protected by Duan Baoji. I have some relationship with Duan Baoji. After realizing this, I sneaked into her secret room and found that poem. I was afraid of her. When I found out, I didn’t dare to steal the original manuscript, but memorized it, so some of the words and sentences were wrong.”

After hearing this, Hu Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How can we prove that Emperor Jianwen is in Dali? Where is he?"

Mrs. Duan said coldly: "In the Lanfeng Temple on Lanfeng Mountain. Don't even try to see Mr. Hu, you can't get close at all. Duan Baoji's son-in-law is Xu Tao, the commander-in-chief of Dali. Xu Tao was Muying's brother who died at that time. Hu My lord, this kind of person has no other effect except to scare the snake, and the Dali officers and soldiers will not listen to Mr. Hu's decree. Mr. Hu has only one way, and he has to use the emperor's secret decree to ask the king of Han to send troops!"

Hu Yan was scratching his head anxiously, Duan Baoji was indeed married to the Mu family, this was already in line with his deduction!

"But how can Mrs. Duan convince me of this?" Hu Wei frowned.

Mrs. Duan said: "Unless I venture into Duan Baoji's mansion again and steal the manuscript so that you can compare the handwriting of Emperor Jianwen. However, if I do this, I may be caught, and Duan Baoji may find out that the manuscript has been stolen. beware."

At this moment, Yao Fang's voice said: "Officer Hu Ke, please hurry back to Kunming and ask the King of Han to dispatch troops for reinforcements!"

Hu Wei looked at Mrs. Duan, and then saw Yao Fang standing there with her fists folded.Yao Fang's proposition is Jin Yiwei's choice!Hu Wei considered for a while, finally nodded and said, "Let's go now."

Yao Fang said: "The general obeys orders!"

Chapter 248 Three Days and Three Nights

Order of the Changshifu of the King of the Han Dynasty: From now on, all guards and soldiers are prohibited from causing trouble in the city, and practice in the school grounds every day.

Early in the morning, Zhu Gaoxu went to the school field south of the Wangfu to inspect the guards.According to the etiquette system, all the civil and military personnel in the palace arranged the school grounds.

As soon as the sun rose, bells and drums rang in the school grounds.There are hundreds of people singing and dancing in front of them. The lyrics are probably like poetry, "Draw out your sword and rise up the land of the Huaihe River, ride your horse to fix the Huan area... the generals are surrounded by stars, and the warriors are curved around the moon..."

After a while, everyone finished dancing, and the soldiers of the army marched slowly towards the city wall one after another listening to the drums and flags.

Each phalanx has a sergeant with a cowhide drum hanging around his neck, and the other is playing military music with a suona.Amidst the noisy advocacy, mixed with strange passwords such as "walk in unison" before, the armies lined up to advance in accordance with the admonition.

While marching, the cavalry lined up in a huge formation. After the sound of the trumpet, thousands of people stood in place.Then began to practice, everyone held long guns, shouted and danced marksmanship after the instructor, just like doing exercises, the school ground was very lively for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu inspected the army and nodded to the surrounding civil and military personnel to express his satisfaction.

Although the scene is a bit nondescript, it doesn't matter.Because the drills of soldiers and horses from all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty are different, and even the formation is different, which is mainly related to the military habits passed down by each general's family.Zhu Gaoxu taught the formation of soldiers in Yuezhou, and everyone naturally thought that this was the habit of the guards of the King of Han.

Not long after Zhu Gaoxu made his inspection tour, he quickly left the school grounds.At this time, he was not interested in teaching the soldiers, he just wanted to gather them all and be ready to be transferred at any time.

As soon as he entered the Duanli Gate, he saw Wang Gui waiting in the gatehouse.In front of the Chengyun Hall in the distance, more than 300 guards and guards are running with heavy loads, and they have to go to the Wenlou to learn to read and write after running.

Zhu Gaoxu waved everyone to disperse.At this time, Wang Gui stepped forward and bowed his head and whispered: "Yao Fang is in the restaurant in the north of the city and said he has something important to do. The servant girl asked him, but he only wanted to report to the prince in person."

Didn't Yao Fang go to Dali?At this time, Zhu Gaoxu heard that Yao Fang had returned to Kunming suddenly, and guessed in his heart: I am afraid something has happened!

Looking back at his surroundings, it was the morning, and he saw that there were people on duty everywhere inside and outside the palace.Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "Prepare the car. Tell Chen Dachui and Zhao Ping to take some people out with me."

Wang Gui said: "Obey!"

After getting ready, Zhu Gaoxu changed his clothes and went out from Tiren Gate in the east in a carriage.

He came to the restaurant, went straight into the back yard, and saw the dusty Yao Fang in a living room.Yao Fang stepped forward to salute, and glanced at the eunuch Wang Gui.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "Yao Baihu has something to do, but it's okay to say it."

Yao Fang clasped her fists and said, "Officer Hu Ke met a woman named Duan in Dali, and learned that Emperor Jianwen hid in Lanfeng Temple in Diancang Mountain. But Lanfeng Temple is protected by Duan Baoji, a Dali hermit. It is said that Xu Tao, the general officer of Dali, is also Duan Baoji. Officer Hu Ke told the last general to go back to Kunming City immediately, and ask the King of Han to send troops for reinforcements to search for Emperor Jianwen!"

A woman surnamed Duan?Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of Duan Yang.He asked Yao Fang again, and asked Yao Fang to give a general description of the woman's appearance, and he was even more convinced that the woman was Duan Yang's!

Yao Fang also seemed to want to use this matter to make merit, and then persuaded: "It seems that the woman is trying to deceive us when we meet at the end, otherwise she will not be able to escape if she falls into the hands of our brothers. This matter is worth a try!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient." Zhu Gaoxu said, "As long as Duan Baoji has not discovered the whereabouts of Hu Min and others, there is no need to panic about this matter for a while. If the Han Palace makes a move, then it is time to fight with the fingertips, and the soldiers are precious! "

Yao Fang let out a breath and said, "My lord is right."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'll go back to the palace first, and then make the arrangements."

Yao Fang clasped her fists and said: "The letter has been brought, the general will return to Dali first, and wait for the prince's army to come!" He looked tired, but said that he would return immediately, which is really commendable.

Zhu Gaoxu said indifferently: "There is no large army, only a team of fine cavalry is enough."

……

There is a main street outside the main gate of Xipinghou Mansion; if you want to go from Xipinghou Mansion to the yamen of the Three Divisions in Yunnan, you usually have to walk this street.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, but one of them has been closed for a few days.

Inside the wooden mosaic door, the light is also dim in broad daylight.The sunlight penetrated into the dark room through the crack of the door, like a strip of visible white lines, and the fine dust danced briskly inside like little bugs.

It rained for a while last night, and it was sunny at dawn.The house is a bit leaky, and there is a wooden basin in the room, which should be placed by the owner, and the sound of water droplets is sounding from time to time in the wooden basin.

Inside the door was a woman sitting on the ground in a very relaxed posture with her back leaning on a wooden board.She carried a long wooden scabbard in her arms, and a crossbow at hand.

Her skin was pale, and although it was white, it lacked luster.The face is relatively small, full above the cheeks, the chin is pointed, and the eyes appear relatively large, but they are dull.

In her left hand she held a cake that had hardened, and she had to chew for a long time after taking a bite.Then she glanced at the crack of the door next to her.A ray of sunlight was shining on her eyelashes, and the bright sunlight made her black eyelashes seem to turn pale. She squinted her eyes, and immediately moved away from the crack of the door.Then she picked up a water bag and took a sip of cold water.

The woman is Duan Xuehen.

… Duan Xuehen's eyes left that ray of sunlight, and immediately felt a lot better.There are too many days of night and day, and now she is more used to a darker environment, and the clear day is too dazzling.

She has been waiting here for three days and three nights, but she believes that Mu Sheng will definitely pass through this street, and Mu Sheng will always go to the Sansi Yamen.She just waited for Mu Sheng to go out this time, and then she would kill her enemy!

Occasionally, Duan Xuehen would think about a question, according to his mother Duan Yang's plan, to expose Mu Sheng's hiding of Emperor Jianwen, and the entire Mu family would be ruined!What's the use of Xue Hen going to assassinate|kill Mu Sheng at this time?

Maybe it doesn't have any effect, maybe it's also very useful... Duan Xuehen understands the deep hatred in her mother's heart, and she can only be reconciled if someone from the Duan family kills the big enemy with her own hands; both Mu Ying and the eldest son Mu Chun are dead, the oldest The enemy will naturally be blamed on Mu Sheng.

In any case, Duan Xuehen finally obeyed his mother's arrangement.

This is my destiny!The name she took was Xuehen, and she was born to take revenge.If there is no revenge, what is the purpose of living for so many years?

...Duan Xuehen turned her head to the side, and took another look at the scene outside the crack of the door.The street was the same as before, and she immediately sat back in her original place.
