Chapter forty-seven each move
In the old house in Bianjing Lane, Zhao Da ran into the middle hall like a gust of wind, and he brought the latest news from Zhao Shisan.
In the dark room, Zhao Wuji was looking at the map of Hanyang Mansion with a serious expression. He also received news that he had appeared in Hanyang yesterday. Although he felt that it was a little strange, when everything was clueless, the news still made him unable to sit still. No matter what, he always had to give it a try. Hanyang Mansion has two counties in total, Hanyang County and Hanchuan County. Although the two counties are not large, the villages are vast and difficult to find. Everyone has started to take action. He must think of the most advantageous way to take the lead.
Just as he was concentrating on thinking, Zhao Da's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Captain, I have news about Thirteen."
Of course, Zhao Shisan is Zhao Shisanlang. He is the most skilled person under Zhao Wuji. Now he is like a parasitic vine, climbing up the big tree of the King of Chu, ready to enjoy the harvest of the ready-made King of Chu.
Zhao Da’s report interrupted Zhao Wuji’s thoughts, but Zhao Shisan’s news was also very important. He immediately ordered: “Come in and report!”
Zhao Da was about 34 or 35 years old and was the eldest of all his subordinates. He was Zhao Shisan's legitimate brother, and his martial arts skills were second only to Zhao Shisan. However, he was very cautious in his work and was always Zhao Wuji's right-hand man. A few days ago, he was ordered to search for Li Weizheng, but he found nothing, which made Zhao Wuji a little dissatisfied, which made him very nervous. He entered the house and reported: "Shisan told three news, one was that he immediately followed Cheng Yannian to Hanyang to operate, and the second was that the Chu king would host a banquet for celebrities in Jingchu and officials from all over Huguang in eight days."
"What about the third news?" Zhao Wuji was a little disappointed. The first two news had no value.
"The third news is Cheng Yannian's private affairs. He fell in love with the youngest daughter of the Hanyang Prefect Ye Tianming, but the King of Chu refused to help him talk to him about his marriage. He was going to steal Miss Ye by using the method of stealing at night, hoping to make the raw rice into a mature meal."
"Is this kind of thing considered news?" Zhao Wuji shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "I want him to do a good job and don't mess with me."
"Yes!" Zhao Daji was about to leave, but Zhao Wuji suddenly reacted and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
His eyes suddenly lit up, 'Hanyang Prefect Ye Tianming', he couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, "Why am I so stupid!"
Without saying anything, he immediately said, "Take two brothers with the best skills and follow me to Hanyang immediately."

In Hanyang City, the night was dark, and the sound of "Bang!Bang!" came from the alley. The updater dragged a long voice, "Peace and nothing happened-"
‘Bang!Bangbang!’
The updater walked past the prefect's office, turned a corner, and disappeared deep in the dark alley. Suddenly, two black shadows ran quickly across the street, ran around the government office, and soon ran outside the wall of the back garden. They looked around, nodded to each other, jumped over, followed the wall climbing up by the big tree, and they took out a hook from their arms, threw it away to a big tree in the garden. With a "click!", the two hooks were accurately hung on the big tree. The two men in black pulled the hook and turned around and floated towards the big tree. But when they were about to get close to the big tree, a person suddenly appeared on the tree, laughed coldly, and raised two steel crossbows at the same time with both hands.
‘Ah!’ Two shrill screams shocked the back house of Ye’s mansion. Lights lit up one after another. More than a dozen families rushed into the back garden with swords and swords. Soon, two corpses dressed in Ye Xing’s clothes were found under the tree. Their eyebrows were shot through a hole by crossbow arrows, and blood was gushing. The expressions on their faces were extremely frightened. The families looked at each other, but they didn’t know what happened?
"The master is here!" Someone shouted, and the family members dodged a way out. Ye Tianming hurried over in a long gown, "What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the body at first sight, which scared him to take a step back, "Why is this?"
All the families lowered their heads and no one dared to speak. Ye Tianming was angry. It was so great that the assassin came to his mansion. Just as he was about to scold him loudly, a gatekeeper came and stuttered, "Master, there is a scholar named Zhao at the door asking for a visit, saying that he knew about the assassination."
As he said that, he handed over a famous post. Ye Tianming took it and saw that it read: Zhao Wuji, counselor of the Qin Palace.
He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said to the doorman: "Okay! Please go to my study."
After walking a few steps, he turned around and said to his family sternly: "No one is allowed to tell his wife and the lady about this, do you understand?"
"Yes! The young men understand."
Ye Tianming walked quickly towards the study. Although he didn't understand why the Qin King's aide came to Hanyang, he also vaguely guessed that it was related to what happened today. Today, a yamen runner reported that a large number of strangers suddenly appeared in Hanyang City, as if they were looking for something. He was going to ask about this matter more tomorrow, but unexpectedly, this happened tonight. Ye Tianming was both surprised and scared.
When he walked into the study, he saw a scholar standing up and bowing to him and said, "Student Zhao Wuji, see Senior Ye."
When Ye Tianming saw him wearing a Confucian robe, he couldn't help but feel a little fond of it. He waved his hand and said, "Please sit down!"
Zhao Wuji sat down and smiled straight to the point, "Magistrate Ye must have many questions in his mind, such as who were those two assassins? What are they doing? What does it have to do with us? Master Ye, I'm right!"
Ye Tianming neither admitted nor denied it. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao said, Mr. Ye listened attentively."
"Okay! Then I'll just say, if I say these two men in black are Cheng Yannian who wanted to kidnap Ling Yan at night, in order to make mature rice, will Prefect Ye believe it?"
Ye Tianming was secretly shocked. Although it was a bit sensational, he had to admit that it was very likely. The King of Chu had hinted to him more than once, and he had all rejected it clearly. Despite this, when his daughter went to Wuchang a few days ago, she was harassed by the flower Tai Sui. He had also had the process of prolonging his life and going to extremes. But he always felt that the King of Chu would restrain him, but he did not expect it to become a reality.
Ye Tianming was furious, but reason told him that there were still many doubts in it. He frowned and asked, "How could Mr. Zhao know about this? And why do you want to help me?"
Zhao Wuji smiled slightly and said, "This matter is a long story, so I will tell you briefly. Now there are a large number of strangers suddenly appearing in Hanyang. All of them are for one thing. For Lan Yu's letter. I represent the power of the Qin King. There is news that the person who steals the letter is most likely to be hidden in Hanyang Mansion. Because I don't have enough manpower, I came to help Prefect Ye."
At this moment, Ye Tianming's heart was in chaos. He never expected that Hanyang Mansion would be involved in the power struggle between the royal family. The Qin King's aide blatantly asked him for help. But if you neglect such a thing, it would be a disaster for the extermination of the clan. How could he participate? Thinking of this, Ye Tianming shook his head gently, "Sorry! I don't want to participate in this matter."
Of course, Zhao Wuji knew Ye Tianming would not agree, but he had a solution to it. He smiled and said earnestly: "Prince Ye, Cheng Yannian failed once, and there may be a second time. I am willing to let my capable subordinates guard the Ye Mansion around. As a condition, I only want to get a little reward from Prefect Ye. Of course, I will never let Prefect Ye be embarrassed."
Ye Tianming didn't say anything, he was indeed a little moved. Although he had many yamen runners, these yamen runners were not martial arts practitioners. They could do a few tricks and deal with the common people. If they were to deal with these thieves in the world, they would be far from being able to deal with these thieves in the world. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what kind of reward do you want?"
"It's very simple. As a local official, of course, we need to investigate the abnormal movements within our jurisdiction. This is the duty of an official. I only ask the prefect Ye to reveal the results you investigated to me a little bit in some way, second only."

At the same time when Zhao Wuji and Ye Tianming were discussing bodyguard exchange information, a bloody conflict broke out in Hanchuan County in another county in Hanyang Prefecture.
In front of a private house in Hanchuan County, the prince's guard Yu Ping held a long sword in his hand and stared at several black shadows twenty steps away with extreme resentment. Two corpses lay opposite him, their necks were cut off, and blood was gushing. Behind him, the large group of guards all looked angry and drew their swords to face each other.
The reason why Yu Ping was sent by Zhu Biao to investigate the letter was because he was cautious and loyal. Secondly, Zhu Biao did not expect the incident to be so serious. Frankly speaking, although Yu Ping was good at martial arts, he was not a person who could stand alone. In this turbulent struggle, he was always passive and was always led by the nose. Yesterday's Hanyang news was informed by Liu Qianhu, the subordinate of Lan Yu, and then rushed over. The two joined together and searched in Hanchuan County like a net, but unexpectedly they encountered the King of Chu.
In a very short conflict, they suffered a great loss. Liu Qianhu died on the spot. The person who attacked was a man in black with a low figure, who looked like a child who had not grown up yet, but he was extremely cruel and cut Liu Qianhu's throat with one sword, causing the Lan Yu team among the faction who were competing for letters to disappear instantly.
Yu Ping's eyes were filled with anger, but he was secretly shocked. This black-clad killer was so terrifying that the dignified general of Qianhu could not resist for even a turn. How many could he block?
Fortunately, these men in black seemed to have no intention of duel. One of them searched Liu Qianhu and found nothing. The few whispered, turned around and evacuated, and soon disappeared into the heavy black fog.
