cold moon is king

Chu Jiangli searched for the location of Wanfu Building in his mind. Wanfu Building is two streets away from here. Chu Jiangli looked around. The houses in the frontier towns are very different from the buildings in Daxia. Here, to prevent wind and sand Well, the houses are all made of earth and stone, but they are thicker than wooden ones, and the sound of stepping on them must be smaller.

Chu Jiangli kicked the wall in the dark alley, the dust rustled down, but his voice did not make a sound, he was finally satisfied, and lowered his voice: "One of you will follow me to Wanfu Building, and the other will go to the side entrance tunnel to see the situation. .”

Sun Chu hurriedly said: "I will go to Wanfu Building with the general."

Wang Hu glanced at Sun Chu in silence, his brows drooping, and he paused for a while before saying: "Okay, then I'll go to the side door."

Wang Hu is Wang Yan's younger brother. He has just turned sixteen and is younger. He is indeed not as stable as Sun Chu. Chu Jiangli didn't say anything, but put his hands on Wang Hu's head and rubbed it, "Go, be careful!" some."

This was enough to shake Wang Hu's spirits. He stared and looked dizzy with joy. After being reminded by Chu Jiangli, he found the direction of the north gate. Sun Chu followed behind Chu Jiangli, his eyes moved intentionally or unintentionally. Chu Jiangli glanced at his face, his eyes were too obvious, Chu Jiangli was somewhat uncomfortable being stared at, he took out the mask and put it back on, Sun Chu immediately looked away, and smiled, "General, you only wear it when others are ugly. Mask, you look so good-looking, why are you wearing a mask?"

Sun Chu has been with him for many years, and it is more difficult to say that he has not seen the truth, and he does not want to explain this again. The covert wind and sand covered both of them with a layer of dust. When they got to the roof of Wanfu Building, both of their faces were covered with gray. The jade pendant in his arms whispered, "Stay at the window and watch the movement below. If I don't come out for half an hour, you can go and find them at the north gate."

Sun Chu responded, straightened his expression, and hid in the dark corner under the eaves. His eyes were fixed on the door of Wanfu Building from the side. Chu Jiangli looked at the closed windows, and walked around from the roof until he walked to the corridor. By the window, he tried to push it, and the window loosened a bit. As he expected, he lightly poked a hole in the window. The inside was different from the silence on the street, and the lights in Wanfu Building were brightly lit.

His face changed slightly, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He glanced at the gray clothes on his body, and thankfully there were not many people on the second floor. He waited for a while, and a male slave timidly climbed up the stairs holding a tray. He was silent for a while and quickly got in through the window. The eyes of the cowering male slave suddenly went dark, a shadow blocked his sight, he raised his head and saw a strange figure, panicked, his neck slid before he could yell. After eating a hand knife, the body went limp.

Chu Jiangli dragged him into an empty room, and when he came out again, he had already changed into the clothes of a male slave. When he was changing his clothes just now, he saw tattoos on the back of each slave's neck, so he pulled the tied hair He untied it, and his hair fell directly on his shoulders. He took the tray and walked downstairs with downcast eyes. There was a lot of noise downstairs, and slaves shuttled between the tables. He gently grabbed a slave's sleeve and whispered: "Just now The lord of Daxia asked me to send wine up, but I forgot the room of that lord, what number is it?"

The slave glanced at him, dazed for a moment, and said, "Turn left to the first room."

Chu Jiangli thanked him, and quickly narrowed his eyes and walked out of the crowd. After walking for a long while, the slave didn't recover, and was scolded by the drunken soldiers at the side before he remembered what he was doing at hand.

Although there was no one in the corridor upstairs, the sound of frolicking people could be vaguely heard in the room, while there were ordinary soldiers downstairs. Chu Jiangli thought for a moment, and when he came to the door, the room was quiet. When there was no sound of people, he didn't knock on the door, and pushed the door quietly and walked in.

The candles were not lit inside, and it was pitch black, but his heart rose, and his steps were lighter. He walked to the bed and took out a dagger from his sleeve. The sound of breathing on the bed was long and even, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the sound, the dagger in his hand was directly pressed against the man's neck. The cold stimulation made the man wake up from his sleep, and he saw a pair of eyes shining in the dark. Before the man could scream, his mouth was blocked up.

Chu Jiangli lowered his voice: "Wu Yu?"

The man paused for a while, then nodded.

"Come with me."

Wu Yu shrank his neck, and whimpered with his covered mouth, Chu Jiangli frowned and reprimanded, "Shut up, I was sent by Lou Cheng."

As expected, Wu Yu stopped speaking when he heard the words, he looked carefully at those bright black eyes, his eyes drooped in consideration and he was about to leave, he walked around and pointed to the window on one side.

Chu Jiangli let go of his hand covering his mouth, and Wu Yu let out a foul breath, and said, "In half a stick of incense, someone will come over."

Chu Jiangli glanced at him, the window over there was facing the gate, and the street was below, and the patrol team was wandering around at this time, if you want to leave, you can't go through this window, you can only go from another room Go, or that hallway.

Chu Jiangli said, "Go out."

With a twist of his wrist, the dagger was pressed against Wu Yu's lower back, but he couldn't tell it was covered by his sleeves, it just seemed that the two were hugging each other intimately, Chu Jiangli said suddenly: "You prisoner did it!" It's freedom."

Wu Yu laughed embarrassingly, "The Louma people are just not vigilant."

When they left the room, they bumped into a drunk Louma man at the door. The man hugged a female slave, smelled of alcohol, came over, looked at Chu Jiangli and the two of them carefully, smiled, and gestured to Wu Yu, ambiguously. Said: "Good vision."

Chu Jiangli pursed his lips, and poked forward the dagger in his hand again, the tip of the blade made Wu Yu tremble, he swallowed his saliva, and said carefully: "I drank too much, it's convenient for him to help me."

The drunken man squinted his eyes and couldn't make a turn in his mind, so he actually let the two of them go, and waved his hand generously, "Come and drink in my room after convenience."

Chu Jiangli's eyes darkened, and the dagger was pressed closer. Wu Yu was about to break out in a cold sweat. This time his sleepiness was completely washed away, and his whole mind was very clear. He suspected: "You are really sent by Commander Lou. of?"

Chu Jiangli kept silent, quickly opened the window of the corridor, and pushed the person out. Wu Yu was pushed staggeringly, and rolled around on the roof. Chu Jiangli immediately turned over and got out, restraining Wu Yu who was trying to escape He clamped Wu Yu's neck with his hands, and there were throbbing blood vessels under his palms. He took out the jade pendant in his arms, facing the moonlight, the jade pendant shone with a clear luster.

Wu Yu recognized it, his expression became concentrated, and he looked at Chu Jiangli carefully again, "You are..."

"General Chu?"

The kidnapping of Wu Yu went surprisingly smoothly, except that when he reached the tunnel at the side door, the whole city was suddenly lit up with fire, illuminating the whole city brightly, and all the soldiers were mobilized. Chu Jiangli knew that this matter would happen soon. was discovered, but time eventually ran out.

He pushed Wu Yu in, closed the door of the tunnel, and random fires lit up inside. Lou Cheng stood behind him holding a torch, looked Wu Yu hard, and patted Wu Yu on the shoulder, "You boy, finally came back."

Chu Jiangli's expression was condensed, and he said seriously: "They have already found out, and they will search here soon, let's go."

Lou Cheng nodded and said, "General Chu is amazing."

But Chu Jiangli didn't get overwhelmed by Lou Sheng's praise, this matter went smoother than he thought, none of his backup plans were used, he was always in a state of anxiety, It seems that things will never be so simple.

*****

The news that the second city and the third city were successively breached spread to the capital, which shocked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. In their eyes, the children of the Chu family have always been omnipotent in all battles. Even if they are defeated in one battle, they will fight back soon. , It is very rare that such a situation where the city cannot be defended.

The emperor lost his temper in the court hall, and was sued by other supervisors sent later, saying that the border war was caused by spies, and the plan was repeatedly known by Lou Ma. Lu Jinyin's face was gloomy, and he raised his eyes and met The emperor's cold gaze made his heart skip a beat, and he had a bad premonition, while the eldest prince's cheerful face restrained a lot under the oppressive atmosphere.

Lu Anyan's icy eyes swept across the civil and military courts, everyone held their breath and did not dare to pant, they all had a guillotine hanging on their heads, as if they were about to fall down at any moment, this incident was strange, although it was not the first time There was a spy once, but it was the first time that the plan was exposed again and again.

In addition to the higher number of casualties in the first time, the number of casualties in the second time

There are a lot fewer, and most of the surviving soldiers are soldiers brought by Chu Jiangli. The letter from the supervising army directly pointed the finger at Chu Jiangli, saying that Chu Jiangli refused to obey orders and went his own way, and proposed to thoroughly investigate Chu Jiangli Leave.

Lu Anyan threw the letter in front of Lu Jinyin, "Prince, take a look."

Lu Jinyin picked up the letter on the ground, spread it out and scanned the contents, his face changed slightly, and said: "It's all baseless words, I think the commander's plan is wrong, and General Chu just because he didn't Obey the order, so the loss is less."

Lu Anyan snorted and laughed, "You are right, none of these people can be trusted."

Lu Jinyin's heart sank suddenly, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Oh? You go?" Lu Anyan tapped the handrail lightly with his fingers, Wen Lingxuan stood up at this moment, Lu Anyan glanced at Wen Lingxuan, "Does Wen Aiqing have anything to say?"

Wen Lingxuan said: "I feel that it is not appropriate for the crown prince to take charge of this matter, but I think His Royal Highness the eldest prince is a good candidate."

Lu Jinqi's expression froze suddenly, and his eyes were sharply stabbed at Wen Lingxuan. He was so happy recently that he didn't want to go to the frontier to endure hardships, but before he could speak, Lu Anyan had already made a decision, "Then the prince and the eldest The prince will go together."

"The crown prince assists the eldest prince in thoroughly investigating this matter."
