Chapter 58
And a big fire on the road.
The sudden black shadow made Si Heng in the sedan chair tremble in fright, and when he took a closer look, his face was as white as jade.
But his body was like a man wrapped in night, sitting in front of him with a long sword in his arms.
This was Si Heng's first serious look at the black-clothed swordsman. Anyway, from the first time they met, Si Heng felt that Kong Ye looked like a illusory bubble.
It is incompatible with the real world around him.
Like a pure black shadow.It's not that Si Heng has never seen a dark guard before, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Kong Ye.
Then Si Heng remembered that this was not the first time he had met the person in front of him, "Oh, it was Your Excellency who blocked my way in Xialiang County earlier!"
It was Shen Yi's disappearance, and Si Heng received the news that he suspected of finding someone's whereabouts, so he pretended to go to the streets of Xialiang County, but before he could finish his sentence, he was blocked by a "bronze wall and iron wall".
After all, Si Heng is Shen Yi's cousin, with half of Shen's blood flowing in his body, he holds grudges very much.
The black-clothed swordsman didn't seem to remember this incident, and his face sank like water: "Xu Muzhou wants me to go to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War to complete a task. By the way, I will protect your safety."
"Young Master Si, I've offended you. I must follow you unwaveringly until this matter is over."
The mansion of Minister of War was originally not far from Prince Regent's Mansion, but about half a year ago, Minister of War Zhao Kun moved.
The current house of the Zhao Mansion is in the middle of the capital and close to the outskirts, and it takes a while to travel by carriage, so Kong Ye used the word "following".
Si Heng pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something to the black-clothed swordsman again, but when he saw that the other party was sitting upright with his eyes closed, he swallowed the words again.
Half an hour later, the Zhao residence had already arrived, and Si Heng came to pay a visit, drinking tea with Zhao Kun, Shang Shulang of the Ministry of War, to reminisce about the past, but Kong Ye was not seen during the visit.
Si Heng thought to himself, this person is really a dragon.
As for Zhao Kun, on the surface he treated Si Heng with courtesy and amiability, but inwardly he seemed to know that Si Heng came here to inquire about arms brochures.
Every time Si Heng throws out the topic, he can deftly avoid it.
However, this also proves from the side that Zhao Kun, Minister of the Ministry of War, is now devoted to Jin Yuxian, and even the Si family's teacher-student relationship is not good enough.
Si Heng spat secretly in his heart, wanting to say that this is also a good thing for his family, the sooner the eunuch's minions can be seen clearly, the better.
It's just that Zhao Kun didn't want to get in, and he wanted to borrow the arms brochure from the Zhao family in a fair and honest manner, which was almost like a fool's dream.But this has to be done, otherwise Xu Muzhou will be pinched by Jin Yuxian, and they will have a hard time living in the Prince Regent's Palace!
Thinking of how Shen Yi was heartbroken for Xu Muzhou, Si Heng had a headache.
"The so-called "arms brochure" should not be in the Zhao residence. Kong Ye quietly appeared again, his tone was so cold and ethereal that he couldn't hear a trace of emotion.
It's just Si Heng's inexplicable feeling that the voice of the black-clothed swordsman seems to be quite nice.
Kong Ye continued, "Except for the main hall where you talked with him just now, I searched every room in the front and back yards of the house. There is no such thing."
"Then maybe he hid somewhere else."
Si Heng seemed to love cleanliness very much, and couldn't bear a speck of dust on his body. At this moment, the hem of his robe rubbed against a little dust on the wall of Zhao's residence just now, and Si Heng wished he could bend down and dust off the dust eight hundred times.
While dusting, he responded to Kong Ye: "Zhao Kun has a Zhuangzi two hundred miles outside the city. During the harsh winter and hot summer, he would bring his family to live there for a while."
The black-clothed swordsman stared ahead, unable to tell whether he was thinking or not. It wasn't until he said, "Then go there and have a look," that he realized that he had listened to Si Heng's words.
It's strange to say that these two people were obviously brought together temporarily, and they had a tacit understanding in speaking and doing things.
Originally, Xu Muzhou was worried that Kong Ye would be withdrawn, and Si Heng was a young master who grew up arrogantly. Just from the sound of it, it was difficult for him to coexist peacefully.
In the evening of the next day, Kong Si and the two deliberately chose the time when the night fell to come to the manor that Zhao Kun bought outside the city.
Only then did I know that, to be precise, it was Zhao Kun who bought a lonely mountain outside the capital city, and then built a manor on the top of the mountain.Surrounded by dense forests and grasslands, there is no adjacent human habitation.
In order not to startle the snake, the two got out of the carriage as early as twenty miles away, and approached the manor on foot.
However, this Zhuangzi has only one main entrance, and if you want to sneak in, you can only climb over the towering outer wall at the back.But I don't know what Zhao Kun's hobby is, he left a large swamp outside the high wall.
If you want to climb over the wall, you must wade through this swamp.This simply killed Si Heng!
Kong Ye didn't care, he stepped on the surface of the swamp lightly with his toes on his toes, passed by, and jumped again, and landed on the eaves of the high wall.
"If you can't come up, just stay here and wait for me." Kong Ye didn't want to make things difficult for others. Since Si Heng didn't want to dirty his underwear, shoes and socks, he didn't mind sneaking in by himself.
It's just that Kong Ye didn't know that he was sitting on this high wall, and the huge moon was hanging right behind him. The reflection of the two made him look like a visitor in the dark.
Si Heng had never seen such a person before, perhaps out of novelty, the little boy's heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, wait, wait!"
Looking left and right at the gloomy surroundings, Si Heng didn't seem to dare to stay alone, "Didn't you say that you would follow me and never let go. You can't leave me here alone!"
Si Heng pinched his nose, took a deep breath, and stepped into the swamp with his legs lifted. He bravely walked across the pond.
When he stood under the high wall, he was wearing a silver-white brocade robe, most of which was covered with mud from the waist down, and some stains were also stained on the white baby's face.
Looking down from above, it looks like a poor animal leaning against the corner.
Kong Ye stretched out his hand and pulled him up.When the two hands touched, Si Heng realized that the palm of the swordsman in black was not as cold as a stone, but had a temperature close to his own.
The two sneaked into the manor, acted separately, and met at this place inside the high wall after meeting for half an hour.
However, after half an hour, Si Heng searched all over half of the manor on the west side, and came to the meeting place, but he didn't see Kong Ye for a long time.
It will never be lost, right?Furthermore, it is the beginning of summer, and there is no one else in the manor except for a few servants and maidservants who clean regularly, so it is reasonable to say that there will be no danger.
Could it be... someone has already predicted their actions, and there are others in this village?
Si Heng hesitated for a while before deciding to look for Kong Ye.
Just when he stepped onto the promenade on the east side, he saw at the end of the promenade, there was an unconscious figure who seemed to be tied up.
It should be Kong Ye!Si Heng ran over in a hurry, but before he knelt down and touched the black-clothed swordsman's shoulder, he felt a dull pain in the back of his head. Someone should have hit him with a stick in the back.
Si Heng's eyes darkened, and he also passed out.
It wasn't until the next day when they woke up that they found themselves in a strange carriage with heavy ropes tied to their bodies.
There was no driver in the carriage, but a thin horse pulled them to a wilderness that they had never set foot in.
On the other side, Shen Yi came to Ting Yuyuan early in the morning and told Xu Muzhou that the two of Kong Si had lost news.
Xu Muzhou was a little shocked.The stealing of the ammunition brochure was dangerous, and Jin Yuxian was expected to be a hindrance, but he thought that there would be no accidents if Kong Ye was with him.
However, accidents came one after another. I heard that several eunuchs and a car drove from Yuyuan, saying that they were ordered by Lord Chitose to take Xu Muzhou to have a secret talk.
After all, the eunuch who sent the message wanted to know that Shen Yi would follow him, so he specifically rushed in Shen Yi's direction, pretending to be respectful: "Master Qiantui also said that if the prince is willing to accompany you, then we must not neglect. "
Not only that, they even prepared two blindfolded black cloth scarves thoughtfully.This one is for Xu Muzhou, and the other one is naturally for Shen Yi.
However, Shen Yi, as the regent, had never been wronged to cover his eyes when he went anywhere, but in order to advance and retreat with Xu Muzhou, he still blindfolded himself.
Opening their eyes again, the two came to the inner room of a house.
The so-called Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, and the place where Xu Muzhou was brought to talk with Jin Qiantui last time, are obviously two mansions.
The inner room was filled with aroma, and Jin Yuxian was sitting in front of a small square table, on which were placed two thick booklets.
Xu Muzhou and Shen Yi looked at each other, and Shen Yi spoke first: "What does Jin Qiansui mean? Why is the ammunition book of the Ministry of War here with you?"
There is no need to bother to read the handwriting on the cover of the booklet, both Xu and Chen know that this must be what they are looking for these two days.
It seemed that Kong Ye and Si Heng were destined not to find this booklet.
"What's the matter? Isn't this what you want?" Jin Yuxian began to make tea skillfully again, "I brought it to you, so you can save the two of you from looking for it."
"Why do the Prince Regent and Mr. Xu seem unhappy?"
"What's your purpose?" Shen Yi knew Jin Yuxian too well: "Deal? Threat?"
From the exquisite compilation of this booklet, as well as the degree of yellowing and damage of the pages, it can be seen that it is the real thing.But what did Jin Yuxian intend to do when he took the initiative to take this thing out?
Want to take the opportunity to threaten?But doing so is tantamount to self-destruction.
It is more likely to trade in exchange for benefits.
Xu Muzhou also understands this truth, and even more understands that if there is no bargaining chip in hand, the so-called deal will not stand.
So he sat down slowly, waiting for Jin Yuxian to make hot tea, while saying: "Si Heng and Kong Ye are in your hands, they are the chips in your hands."
Jin Yuxian likes to talk to smart people, "Two lives, plus the ammunition list of the Ministry of War, in exchange for the Pianzhou bombing case, is it worth it, Lord Shen?"
