Chapter 429: Luring Ren Zhen into Beijing


On the day he received the letter for help, Ren Zhen led the army to set off north, but the speed of the march was not fast, at least there was no urgency of 100,000.He first wrote a letter to Wushan, asking Dan Jue Muyun to rush to the capital to find a way to get rid of the plague, and then sent a letter to Qinghe County, asking the Cui family to escort a large number of medicinal materials into Beijing, taking advantage of this plague to make a lot of money while strengthening the connection with the palace.Of course, in order to be able to move Muyun, he fulfilled his previous agreement, handed over 10,000 tiger guards to Muye, went to Qiuwei Mountain, met with the kendo heroes, and went to the 800-mile barren river to quell the barren clan's internal fighting.According to the original plan, he should have personally led the troops into Sichuan, and while fulfilling his promise, he was looking for an opportunity to crack the poisonous Gu in the eyes of the sky.However, when a plague broke out in the capital, he had to fulfill the contract immediately, and after the north was pacified, he would enter the barren river to drive Gu.He didn't care about the life or death of the empress, but he couldn't sit idly by and watch the lives of millions of people in the capital.This is also the essential difference between him and the Wu family.The starting point of his handling of people is of course for his own interests, but in his position, he will not regard the lives of the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty as grass and mustard and be insensitive because of revenge.He will do his best to save those who can be saved.After arranging this matter, he went to Wuchao City in person.In this national war, his duty was to transport grain and grass, and since he was going back to the north, he had to go to inspect the grain and grass before leaving.After all, the main forces of the Jin army are still there, the war is still ongoing, and the major event of grain transportation cannot be traveled.The transfer envoy was transferred back, and the heavy responsibility naturally fell on the shoulders of the dark shape.Regarding this person's ability, Ren Zhen is relatively reassured, especially now that the situation has turned around, and he has been replenished by Qinghe's grain hoarding, it should not be a big problem.When he left the black nest, he deliberately took Mei Lang with him.After tearing his face with the Southern Jin Dynasty, he vaguely guessed that Emperor Wu would send someone to uncover his details and provoke him to fight with the Northern Tang Dynasty.Then, he can't help but guard against the empress's sinister methods.This Langya Pavilion Lord is her only bone and blood, in other words, it is also her big weakness.Although it is still uncertain, Mei Lang's status in her heart is heavy, as long as she takes him with her, Ren Zhen can have one more hole card and make the empress have a little more scruples.I have to say that when she sent Mei Lang to follow Ren Zhen, this trick was well-intentioned, intended to support Gu, but unfortunately it was not a person.When she woke up from the sickbed and saw Ren Zhen's true face, it was too late to recall Mei Lang.The army did not rush or slow and marched north.On the second day, Ren Zhen received an urgent report from Shanhaiguan that the Beihai rebels had attacked the city, and the situation was precarious.On the third day, less than 500 miles away from the capital, he received another message from the capital.The empress ordered the army to be stationed in Tiger Hill and invited him to enter Beijing to face the saint and discuss the counterinsurgency plan.After receiving the holy decree, Ren Zhen did not leave immediately, but asked Qin Cha to rest first, and then discussed with Yang Xuanji and Li Mubai.His keen instincts told him that this decree might be murderous.Li Mubai is Ren Tianxing's best friend, and he knows Ren Zhen's identity and purpose, so in front of him, Yang Xuanji does not need to be obscure, and expresses his heart directly.Knowing that Shanhaiguan was in an emergency, she was not in a hurry to send troops to rescue, but let the army stop first, which was unreasonable.The rebels marched south, and they all burned their eyebrows, and the soldiers came to block it, and what else was there to discussNo matter how you look at it, this holy decree has ulterior motives. ”Li Mubai nodded, agreeing with his opinion, and said solemnly: "Lessons from the past, don't be careless."

Don't forget, back then, your father was tricked into returning to the capital alone, but he fell into a huge trap and almost fell into it" When he said this, he secretly glanced at Yang Xuanji.Ren Zhen understood the doubts of the two and said, "I think so too, I can't risk my life."

However, after all, it is a holy decree, and as long as I don't tear my face, I can't openly disobey and expose my heart.How to reply is a difficult question. ”The three fell silent.After a while, Li Mubai opened his mouth and said: "It's better to say that you were injured in the south and haven't healed yet, so it's not appropriate to bump back and forth, so you won't enter the Jingmian Sheng, and go directly to Shanhaiguan to save this journey." ”Ren Zhen shook his head, "No, if that's the case, not only will I not be able to excuse myself, but I just want to provide her with an excuse to take away my military power and let me go back to Beijing to recuperate." ”Li Mubai frowned, "If you say this, there is more trouble than that, and you have to think about how to justifiably refuse her will to change the commander." ”Yang Xuanji's face was gloomy, "The general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it, so don't have too many scruples."

If the explanation is too detailed, it is easier to attract suspicion.simply replied to her, the military situation is urgent, and she doesn't dare to delay, so she won't go" "This" Yang Xuanji's attitude was tough, which made Li Mubai a little speechless.Ren Zhen was silent for a while, and said worriedly: "The words are not rough, the matter has come to this point, I can't think of a legitimate reason, and I can only be tough once."

However, I'm a little worried that the family business in the capital will suffer" Li Mubai was dumbfounded, "You lead the army to serve the king, this is a matter of time, when the time comes, even the entire capital will fall into your hands, and you are reluctant to have a little property" Yang Xuanji was thoughtful, but he knew that things were not simple, and asked: "The picture I gave you, is it finished" When Ren Zhen woke up from poisoning, he asked him for a formation map, planning to hide from the sky and the sea, secretly set up a formation in Chang'an City, and steal the luck of the Vermilion Bird Array for his use.After the two determined the formation map, Ren Zhen flew the pigeon and passed the book to the capital, and asked the old Wang couple to inform Wu Daosi, who was in charge, to set up a few more gambling houses in the city.Ming repaired the plank road and darkened the warehouse, this move was ostensibly to expand the business, but in fact, it was to use the gambling house to cover people's eyes and ears, quietly open up the air eye of the formation, and connect it with the Vermilion Bird Array.What Ren Zhen is thinking about is not the gambling house business, but this formation.He said in a deep voice: "Before, Lao Wang replied that the foundation fortifications have been properly arranged, and there are still a few finishing touches left to revitalize the entire array. ”Yang Xuanji coughed dryly and replied: "The fortifications are all hidden underground, and the qi eye is borrowed from the Vermilion Bird Array, as long as the formation is not activated, it stands to reason that even if the gambling house is raided, it should not be detected." ”Li Mubai heard the clouds and mountains covered with fog.Ren Zhen was still not at ease, "Li Dai Taozhuang, that thing is related to our lives, we can't be careless, we must find a way to confirm it." ”Yang Xuanji could hear that Ren Zhen was starting to lay out the future, and said with his eyebrows: "Otherwise, let's go our separate ways, I will go into the capital to lurk for a period of time and personally supervise the completion of the formation, how" The formation map was drawn by him himself, and it was perfectly suitable for him to check it.Ren Zhen was noncommittal, with concerns, "On the bright side, the Vermilion Bird Array has not been destroyed, and Xiao Tie's umbrella is still too strong, and if you enter the city with your Eight Realms cultivation, I am afraid that he will notice it." ”When Yang Xuanji heard this, he sneered, "Are you overestimating Xiao Tieyu, or are you underestimating my Dao Xing, I really think that if he holds the formation eye, he will be invincible in the world" Listening to his tone, he obviously had the confidence to hide from Xiao Tieyu's eyes.Ren Zhen was skeptical, but Li Mubai smiled and said, "Don't worry, nephew, Mr.

Yang has great powers, and some of them have the means to avoid the Vermilion Bird Array." ”He seems to have more confidence than Yang Xuanji.Seeing this, Ren Zhen no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother you to go."

In addition, you can help me bring a message and ask Lao Wang and his wife to find a way to send Wu Daosi to Dragon City. ”Wu Daosi was born in Beihai, and this person will come in handy if he wants to put down the rebels this time.Yang Xuanji turned his head, faced Li Mubai, and said hoarsely: "His safety depends on the giant to protect him."

On that day in Momoyama, I owe you a favor, and I always remember in my heart that today is the second. ”Li Mubai patted him on the shoulder and said with a cheerful smile: "Brother, between us, we will see each other when we talk about human affection."

It's rare to enter the capital, you might as well take a walk and go around, just treat it as an old place and revisit" Listening to these strange words, Yang Xuanji's expression stiffened slightly, he didn't say anything more, and walked away.Ren Zhen also felt awkward and asked: "Uncle Li, do you have a deep friendship" Li Mubai groaned slightly, and said faintly: "It used to be very deep":
