Chapter 647: Weakness(1/2)
『PS: It's so fast."
————The following text——
On that day, Jin Xun, the Hu Ben Central Army, led a thousand Hu Ben Army under his command to station the military camp at the foot of Heihu Mountain that was previously built by the Ye County Army.
As for food and grass, Kunyang County is responsible for allocating it to you.
The arrival of these thousand Tiger Ben Army soon reached Cai Zheng, who was temporarily living in Xiangcheng.
Cai Zheng did not belong to the Hu Ben Army, but was affiliated with another palace guard army, which was mainly responsible for guarding the royal palace, but this did not prevent him from getting to know Jin Xun, the Hu Ben Army.
He even knew that the Jin Zhonglang was very close to the East Palace.
After thinking for a while, he decided to try to meet Jin Xun. After all, Princess Xiangrui involved not only the interests of the third prince behind him, but also the interests of the prince.
However, he also knew that during this period, he was surrounded by the eyeliner of Zhou Hu, the commander of Yingchuan. It would take a little more effort to deceive these people into seeing Jin Xun.
So he pretended to live in the inn and left quietly before dusk. He only brought a few guards who were also disguised as he did, and came to the barracks where the Hu Ben Army was stationed.
Late that night, when Jin Xun was about to fall asleep in the tent in the camp, a subordinate suddenly came to report: "Zhonglang, there are a few people looking for a meeting outside the camp, and the leader is the leader. He calls himself the palace guard and Cai Zheng."
“…”
Kim Hoon's expression suddenly became solemn, and he walked back and forth in the tent with a few steps, looking a little hesitant.
After a long time, he nodded slightly and ordered his subordinates in front of him, "Turn others out and secretly take Cai Zheng to my tent."
"Zodiac order." The subordinate left with his fists.
After that, it took about half an hour before the subordinate left and returned. At the same time, he also brought someone, Cai Zheng.
After seeing Jin Xun, Cai Zheng smiled and bowed his fists and said, "Kim Zhonglang, I haven't seen each other for many days, so I'm fine."
“…”
Jin Xun glanced at Cai Zheng a few deep, waved his hand to retreat.
After leaving, Jin Xun then said to Cai Zheng with a cold expression: "You thief who plotted to murder the princess, you dare to come to see Jin. Are you not afraid that Jin will arrest him?"
Cai Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Jin Zhonglang, there are no outsiders here. I think we should speak openly... What are the benefits of catching Cai and Jin Zhonglang and the prince?"
"What's the matter with the prince?" Jin Xun snorted coldly and said lightly: "Mr. Jin is on the order of His Majesty to welcome the princess back to the palace..."
Cai Zheng smiled again when he heard this.
Although Kim Hoon on the other side did not admit it in person, did he still not know the other party’s background?
Looking at Cai Zheng with a sarcastic look on his face, Jin Xun's expression seemed to be a little uneasy. Fortunately, he was still calm. After a while of silence, he whispered: "Forget it, don't talk about anything else, tell me why you came to see me late at night."
Hearing this, Cai Zheng also put away the ridicule on his face and asked seriously: "I guess Jin Zhonglang has already gone to Heihu Mountain to see the princess. How about it? Can the princess promise to follow Jin Zhonglang back to the palace?"
Jin Xun shook her head and said in a deep voice: "The princess refuses."
This result seemed to be beyond Cai Zheng's expectations. After all, he also knew how willful the princess was.
He thought for a moment, then said to Kim Hoon, "Since that's the case, Kim Hoon and I have to find another way..."
"What do you want to do?" Jin Xun asked Cai Zheng.
Cai Zheng lowered his voice and said, "I have sent someone to inquire during this period. At most, there are only two thousand soldiers under Zhou Hu's command guarding him. Ruojin Zhonglang and Cai joined forces..."
"Stop."
Jin Xun immediately interrupted Cai Zheng's words and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jin won't do anything with you... This ends with this matter."
“…”
Cai Zheng glanced at Jin Xun in surprise, frowned and asked in a slight question: "Is this what the prince means?"
Kim Hoon neither admits nor denies it.
Seeing this, Cai Zheng was a little anxious and said with an anxious look: "I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity."
Looking at his anxious appearance, Jin Xun sneered in his heart.
Yes, when Princess Xiangrui left the palace, she took the opportunity to harm her. This was indeed a tacit understanding between the prince and the third prince. In order to facilitate this, the prince and the third prince secretly gave many conveniences when Princess Xiangrui left the palace. But who would have thought that Cai Zheng, as a person from the third prince, actually failed, so that the princess fell into the hands of Zhou Hu, the commander of Yingchuan.
Therefore, when Jin Xun received the order from the emperor, he also received the prince's private instructions and ordered him to come to Yingchuan County to remedy it.
The so-called remedy means to see if there is still a chance, and if there is no, stop immediately.
Anyway, from beginning to end, Cai Zheng, the third prince, was acting, and the prince did nothing at all, so the prince was not in a hurry - it would be better if he could not succeed.
If you ask who is most anxious, it is undoubtedly Cai Zheng in front of you.
Jin Xun wouldn't accompany this guy to do whatever he wants - sneak attacking Zhou Hu's clique? It's crazy!
Not to mention that the prince did not ask him to do this at all, even if he did, he would never do such a thing. Who wouldn’t know that behind Zhou Hu was Grand Master Chen and Chen Jun Wuhu?
You should know that Zou Zan, one of the five tigers of the Chen Party, was his immediate superior.
Looking at Cai Zheng with an anxious face, Jin Xun coughed and said to Cai Zheng lightly: "Cai Zheng, Princess, Zhou Hu, and the prince of Yecheng, Li Feng, all three of them think that you are suspected of murdering the princess. Jin should have arrested him, but considering that there is no definite evidence on the princess, I will let you go. No matter what you do next, Jin doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know..."
Cai Zheng is not a fool. He knew that Jin Xun was instigating him at first, but this guy didn't want to take responsibility, so he was really cunning.
He gritted his teeth and whispered: "I have only a few hundred people under my command, most of whom were stared at Zhou Hu's eyeliner, and I'm afraid I can't get enough..."
"Then I have nothing to do."
Jin Xun spread her hands and said bluntly: "It's getting late, please come back to Zeiss Tour."
"Kim Hoon..."
Cai Zheng stared at Jin Xun hatefully. Jin Xun was not polite, and immediately lowered his face and said coldly: "Zeis Xun, what else is there?"
After staring at Jin Xun for a while, Cai Zheng suddenly became discouraged and walked out of the tent angrily.
Jin Xunyi then flirted with the tent and walked outside the tent. Looking at his angrily back, he ordered the guards outside the tent to say, "Go and follow him until he leaves this camp."
"Yes!" The two guards hugged their fists and immediately followed Cai Zheng who was leaving.
After giving the order, Jin Xun returned to the tent and lay on the bed with his hands on his pillow.
"I thought he had some clever plan to see me... I would have known that I would have not seen him, and I don't know if Zhou Hu sent someone to stare at me..."
Lying on the bed, Kim Hoon secretly regretted it.
After hesitating for a while, he finally decided to meet Cai Zheng, just to see if Cai Zheng had any way to recover the defeat. Unexpectedly, this guy actually gave him a crazy idea.
It was crazy to attack Zhou Hu’s clique!
That Cai Zheng can say it out loud!
What is the need for him to wipe his butt from Cai Zheng?
Whether it is finally charged with the crime of "murdering the princess" or the third prince's questioning, it is caused by Cai Zheng's own disadvantages. What does it have to do with him?
Thinking of this, Kim Hoon went to bed on his own.
Compared to Jin Xun, Cai Zheng was full of anger when he left this military camp.
In fact, he guessed when he came, and guessed that Jin Xun might not be able to do crazy things with him, but he had no choice. After all, he was not good at doing things. In the future, he would inevitably be questioned by the third prince or even be punished.
What's worse is that Zhou Hu had told Princess Xiangrui about what he did. When he went up the mountain to meet Zhou Hu that day, the princess was clamoring outside the Juyi Hall to ask Zhou Hu to kill him. Cai Zheng knew that the princess would try every means to kill him as long as she had the chance.
This means that once the third prince is disappointed with him and gives up on him, he will definitely not survive. As long as the princess says a few bad words to the emperor, the emperor will probably kill him.
Even it is not impossible to kill his whole family.
When Cai Zheng thought of this, he became inexplicably frightened.
That's why he came to see Kim Hoon and wanted to convince Kim Hoon to help him have another chance, but unexpectedly, Kim Hoon actually put on an out-of-fact attitude, and even the prince behind Kim Hoon seemed to have planned to give up getting rid of the princess.
Doesn’t this mean that he is destined to be the only sacrifice in this incident?
The next morning, after opening the city gate in Xiangcheng, Cai Zheng quietly returned to the city.
He had not slept all night, and was tired at this moment. After returning to the inn, he locked himself in the house and struggled left and right.
"Or else, try it?"
Sitting inside the room, his face was gloomy and a bit of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
He still has hundreds of subordinates, and he is not without the qualification to fight. As long as he can kill the princess, the third prince... or will he save his life?
In fact, Cai Zheng himself was not sure. Even if he successfully killed the princess, would the third prince save his life or still abandon him?
After all, murdering the princess was a serious crime, and he could not guarantee whether the third prince would risk his life to save him.
At least not implicate the family?
However, after thinking for a while, he still couldn't make up his mind.
He didn't know that he disguised himself as he met Kim Hoon last night, thinking he was secretly doing it, but he still found his whereabouts when he was staring at his travel wolf in secret.
Just as Cai Zheng returned to Xiangcheng, his whereabouts were reported from the Wolf to Heihu Mountain, and He Shun reported to Zhao Yu.
"Last night, Cai Zheng went to meet Jin Xun in disguise?"
When He Shun reported this to Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu immediately became a little alert.
He Shun nodded and said, "According to the report of the Lu Lang, after dusk yesterday, Cai Zheng disguised himself from the inn in Xiangcheng and left Xiangcheng before the city gate was closed. This guy was very cautious and deliberately stayed outside the city gate for a while. He came to Jinxun's camp until the city gate was closed. Unfortunately, his whereabouts were still clearly seen by the Lu Lang... However, when he talked to Jinxun, the Lu Lang didn't know what he had talked to Jinxun."
"Um."
