[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?
Chapter 85: The Middle Game 22
The sound of rain continued.
A carriage stopped at the corner gate of the hotel, and the groom in coir raincoat jumped down vigorously.A pale thunder burst from the sky, instantly illuminating the thin and handsome side face of the man under the bamboo hat.
Immediately, the man came to the carriage and held up an oil-paper umbrella.Then he opened the curtain of the car and protected the people in the car to get down without letting him drench even a drop of rain.
The person who got off the carriage was also dressed in white, but his appearance was slightly gorgeous, with a hint of pride in his eyebrows and eyes.
Although she is a beauty, she is a beauty that cannot be offended.
The imperial guards guarding the corner gate also looked at the other party when they saw the other party, their eyes met, and ran to the front of the car without caring about the heavy rain: "Young Master, why did you come here without telling someone..."
He said that he wanted to take the umbrella from the hand of the "groomer" to show his hospitality, but the other party only looked at him calmly, and he felt cold all over his body, and the outstretched hand retracted at some point.
"We came quietly and left quietly, and you act as if you didn't see anything, can you do it?" Pang Yu smiled at him, and threw a heavy purse over there, "Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ben Hou to find you The corner door..."
"This..." The guards guarding the gate showed a look of embarrassment, but they looked at An Lehou and the people around him again, gritted their teeth and said, "I understand, as long as the Marquis doesn't do anything to alarm His Majesty, I can do nothing for you!" Lord Hou fights for two hours."
"Enough." Pang Yu nodded.
The guard at the corner gate here has a relationship with Pang Yu, so as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, that person will only turn a blind eye and close his eyes, and his mouth is still reliable.
The guard thought that only Pang Yu and Pang Yu were going to enter the museum, but he saw that the man in straw coir raincoat slipped another person out of the car.
After seeing the man's face clearly, the guard asked nervously, "Master...is this...?"
"This is Wang Kun's bodyguard. We saw him sneaking out of the hall and arrested him. Now he is about to return him to the Crown Prince of Korea!" Pang Yu said.
"This person has been lost for two days. If you hand it over to the commander..." The guard looked at Pang Yu cautiously. It was actually a credit for him to help catch the escaped Korean. Should we spread the word with drums and gongs?
Maybe the emperor will reward him!
"If you want to make meritorious service, then wait until next time!" Pang Yu saw through his tricks and shook his head, "Not this time, this person is still useful to me."
"Yes, I broke my promise." The guard wiped his face and said.
"It's raining heavily here, let's go in first before talking." Bai Yutang glanced at the trembling guards, and said to Pang Yu.
Pang Yu nodded again, the guard didn't dare to offend the two of them, he did whatever people said, for fear of not being flattering enough.
"Hey, go back and watch, you don't have to follow the rest." Pang Yu said to him.
"Yes." The guard didn't dare to say anything. Seeing that the two avoided the patrolling guards with agility, they had no choice but to put their curiosity back into their stomachs.
The two found Wang Kun's residence without much effort. They had entered and exited many times during the investigation, and now they are familiar with it.
Although the door was guarded, the windows were not.
Hearing a sound from the window frame, the person sitting in front of the desk and reading a book immediately drew his sword from his hand, and said in a low voice, "Who?!"
"Prince, it's me." Pang Yu was the first to enter through the window. He didn't take Wang Kun's action of pointing his sword at him at all. It's been a long time.
Wang Kun really didn't relax, and frowned slightly: "Young Lord, it's so late, you came to look for me sneakily, what's the matter?"
"for him."
The voice came from outside the window, and then a tightly bound person was thrown in and fell to the ground with a blunt sound.
When Wang Kun saw the man's face, his eyes widened slightly.
This was obviously beyond his expectation.
"Why...why did he fall into the hands of the two?" Wang Kun quickly regained his composure, questioning in his eyes.
"I'm going to ask the prince." Bai Yutang kicked the man, but because he was fainted, the man didn't respond and remained motionless. "I saw that he seemed to be going out of the city, so I invited him over to have a cup of tea, so he 'inadvertently' told me something quite interesting..."
Pang Yu saw that Wang Kun's expression was uncertain, so he didn't have the patience to go around with him, and said directly: "You asked your subordinates to find someone with a face similar to yours along the Fengxian and Peixian areas. Is there such a thing?"
That area is also very close to Xuzhou.Pang Yu had already heard about the mission of the Koryo bodyguards in the carriage before, and at first he had the idea of "as expected", but after discussing with Bai Yutang a few more words, Pang Yu found that things were far from that simple.
Just because the guard's task is to "find people", not "kill people".
They were not surprised that Wang Kun knew about Wang Kun's existence.
Wang Kun's memory loss has a lot to do with Wang Kun, and now is a good time to get to the bottom of it.
A crack finally appeared on Wang Kun's expressionless face. He put away his sword with a wry smile: "You two, if this person stays, you leave immediately. I owe you a favor, and I will repay you in the future. But If you really insist on asking, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to withdraw in the future."
"If this matter has something to do with the King of Korea, don't be afraid to tell the crown prince that the Pang family has already had an enmity with the King of Korea." Pang Yu smiled sarcastically.
"Bai Shaoxia is a man in the rivers and lakes. Would he rather incur a murder than ask the truth?" Wang Kun turned to look at Bai Yutang.
"I'm a man of the rivers and lakes, and I've been involved in the Kaifeng Mansion's case many times for the sake of the word 'truth'." Bai Yutang said flatly.
Wang Kun gave them a serious look: "Forget it... If you really want to know, I would like to ask you two to do me a favor in exchange."
"What's the matter?" Pang Yu asked.
Wang Kun glanced at the guard on the ground: "Looking for someone, looking for the person who looks exactly like me."
"Who is he?" Pang Yu frowned and asked, "Could it be that he is the real Koryo prince?"
"Although I missed it, it's not far away." Wang Kun took a deep breath, as if making up his mind, and looked up at them, "He is the Crown Prince of Korea, and so am I."
The voice fell, and the room was silent.
It took a long time for Pang Yu to realize: "Could it be that you...are twins?!"
"Exactly." Wang Kun turned his back to them, fixed his eyes on a picture of a hundred sons on the wall, and said the shocking truth in a flat voice, "I...was an assassin."
Wang Kun did not have a name at all, but he practiced martial arts with his master as long as he could remember. There are seventeen or eighteen other children like him, all of whom were brought to that courtyard to learn how to kill people since they were young.
Every six months, the "master" will send a steward to check how they are practicing, and if they see that their talents are better, they will ask the master to take care of them. The result of "care" is to lock them in a dark room and kill each other in order to rob the only food.
Those who survived successfully will have the opportunity to get more guidance and their own weapons.
Wang Kun also had such a dark experience, so even if he changed his identity now, his demeanor can't hide his indifference, and his face is often expressionless, which may be related to his previous encounters.
However, Wang Kun is special.
"When the master brought me back to the house, I was still a baby waiting to be fed. He concealed my identity from the superior, and only said that I was a child picked up from outside, and both parents died." Wang Kun looked from the picture of Baizi. He moved away and stared at his palm, "Although he didn't tell me my life experience, he only said that my parents and brothers are complete, but...after seeing 'Wang Kun', I knew my true identity."
Fortunately, no one has seen the Crown Prince of Korea before, and only the steward entered and exited the mansion, and only the steward recognized Wang Kun's face. Except for the master, no one else knew that the assassin sent this time was actually the same as the Crown Prince. Be exactly the same!
Fortunately, "Wang Kun" was a benevolent prince who was able to show mercy to assassins, so the black mask had a chance to be torn off, and the two had a chance to recognize each other.
"Wang Kun" knows that he has a twin brother. He has already learned about it from Queen Shujing and the eldest princess. In fact, he came to Song Dynasty this time to investigate clearly what happened back then-who is it? , broke into the delivery room on the night of the queen's delivery and took away a child.
Blood is thicker than water between brothers, as long as they meet, the truth of the year will be guessed in close proximity.
"So, something happened in the delivery room that night, and one of the twins born to the princess was taken away. And that person is your master?" Pang Yu said.
"Exactly." Wang Kun sighed, "Master originally thought that the mother had only one child, so he took the child away according to the plan, and waited quietly for Gao Li and Da Song to have a rift. But I didn't expect that the mother could suppress the matter and treat it as a Nothing happened. After some inquiries, the master knew that many women in the concubine family had twins, so he boldly guessed that the queen mother actually gave birth to two children that night. Then, even if he took me back, I would be gone. Therefore, I concealed my origin and brought me up single-handedly."
Pang Yu sighed: "Your master is quite smart!"
"Although the master is an assassin, he is loyal to his master, but he also treats me as his own child and really plans for me." Wang Kun showed a rare look of sadness, "Back then he claimed that the mission failed, and he paid the price of an arm to save me , now that I recognize my brother, the master is afraid..."
Bai Yutang suddenly said: "Since he entrusted you with this task, it means that he has already guessed that you will not go back."
Wang Kun was stunned, and his voice was as rough as frost: "As you said, the master is in danger now, even if I go back, I will die, and naturally I will not be able to help the master anymore. It's just... the master sees me later. He didn’t return for a long time, decided that the mission had failed, and sent a new assassin, and in the midst of the chaos, my brother lost his whereabouts.”
Previously, for the sake of convenience, Wang Kun disguised himself as the prince's bodyguard to follow around, but in the rush that night, the prince's whereabouts were unknown in order to protect his elder brother, so Wang Kun could only send a few of the prince's confidants to find people, declaring that those people were Those who died of illness and acclimatization did not arouse the suspicion of other Koreans.And he himself had no choice but to pretend to be the prince and deal with the Koreans to stabilize those who were about to move.
He just wanted to complete the meeting as soon as possible and search carefully on the way back, but he didn't expect to be involved in cases one after another.
The death of General Park, Wang Yue's identity, the intrigue among the royal family of Korea... Wang Kun inevitably lost his usual calm and became a little anxious.
That's why they made this bad move and secretly sent people out.
After listening for a long time, Pang Yu was still full of doubts. What he wanted to know most urgently was: "Wang Kun, who is the 'Master' you mentioned?!"
A carriage stopped at the corner gate of the hotel, and the groom in coir raincoat jumped down vigorously.A pale thunder burst from the sky, instantly illuminating the thin and handsome side face of the man under the bamboo hat.
