Chapter 247: Ava's Spies
Soon the person who inquired about the news rushed back: "Master, although there seems to be nothing unusual about that wine shop, the people who buy wine are not ordinary people." ”
After saying this, he was also a little afraid, if Ruan Qingting hadn't told him not to enter the wine shop anyway, maybe he would have stepped forward, and now he couldn't come back. After a quarter of an hour outside, he realized that something was wrong, and that the people who bought the wine, though dressed no differently, walked in a very strange way, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Immediately after that, he found out that these were all masters, so his walking posture has been avoiding danger, rather than how to walk comfortably like ordinary people.
Seeing this, he immediately understood what was going on, and quickly turned back to tell his master.
Ruan Qingting sighed, it seemed that the python had indeed found a flaw, I don't know if it was because they had been exposed too many times or because those people were accidentally exposed, he paced around the room, analyzing his current situation.
Soon he came to a conclusion that the python had not yet received certain news, otherwise he would have taken himself down directly, so he didn't need to send someone to test it, and arranged for someone to squat at the door of the wine shop.
In this way, it seems that those brocade guards did not betray him, but he has been listed as a target of suspicion, but when did the king start to suspect him?
At this time, his head flashed, thinking of when he started to speak in Chaoshang today, the python Mengzi was still kind to him, but until he said the plan, the python Mengzi's face showed a smile that seemed to be smiling, and then there was a temptation of Gu Fang, thinking of this, he understood, he was still too anxious, so he was suspected by the python. It's just that the python only knows that those people have carrier pigeons in their hands, and he doesn't know who is connected with them, so he will deceive him.
He beckoned: "From today onwards, don't go out, just stay in the yard, don't contact outsiders, and wait for the wind to pass." "He knows that the person who connects has always been this old servant, as long as this old servant is not recognized, he is absolutely safe, even if the person who does the work has eyewitnesses, do they dare to bring people to his mansion as the head of the cabinet to identify them one by one?
Thinking of this, his whole body relaxed, the matter was not finished yet, and he could not die yet.
At this time, suddenly a servant ran in: "Master, there is a team of guards, it seems to be from the royal city." ”
Ruan Qingting's heart trembled, could it be that he was going to be arrested and interrogated now. Thinking of this, he simply explained: "Take care of Madame." Then he walked out calmly, and now he can only hold on, if he can hold on, there will be a way to live, if he can't hold on, the whole house will die.
However, he had a false alarm, it turned out that the battle outside the city had already begun, and according to his proposal, the python Mengzi also personally went up to the city wall, and specially sent someone to invite him to watch the battle.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was expressionless and followed the team of guards towards the city wall, and when he reached the city wall, the python was already standing there, his face was very bad: "Lord Ruan, we have fought a very hard battle." ”
Ruan Qingting sighed: "It is said that they are all members of the Ming Dynasty, and we are indeed not their opponents." ”
The python snorted with disdain: "Not their opponent? Didn't we kill those people in obedience when the curse water changed in the first place? ”
Ruan Qingting sighed: "King, at that time, it was because the people of the Ming Dynasty were unstable, and there was Wu Sangui's pursuit behind them, so they didn't dare to offend us, now it's different, the old minister looked at their folds, and said that this army is called the Great Ming Curse, and it is here to take revenge?" ”
The python grabbed a brick at the head of the city: "Look at them, not only are they numerous, but they are also indomitable in battle, and they are even more fierce than my most elite soldiers in Burma." Do you think we should ask for help from the Qing Kingdom? ”
Ruan Qingting smiled bitterly: "As far as the old minister knows, due to Wu Sangui's rebellion, the Great Qing Kingdom has retreated to the north, and it is estimated that Wu Sangui will be in charge of the south in the future." ”
"Then it's good for us to unite with Wu Sangui, after all, the Ming Emperor handed it over to him, and if these people are stupid, we probably have to go to him for revenge."
Ruan Qingting coughed: "King, you must know that these people are like hungry wolves, Wu Sangui is like a tiger, let's expel them and recruit Wu Sangui in, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are even more powerful than them." ”
The python laughed embarrassedly: "This king just said casually, where can he really recruit Wu Sangui over?" Besides, there are so many of us in Myanmar, are we afraid that we won't be able to deal with him? ”
"The king has a point."
"Lord Ruan, this king got a secret report that a group of people passed through Mengmi City and personally came to send you silk, but these people seem to have disappeared after sending silk, do you know where they are?"
Ruan Qingting's heart suddenly lifted, but his face still did not change: "The old minister bought silk, and after receiving the silk and giving it to the silver, he naturally didn't care what they did." ”
"But the secret report also said that they were the ones you sent out."
"There are also a lot of people who swindle and deceive in the name of the old ministers, maybe they are trying to save money for the passage of various cities."
"Those people said that these silks were in a hurry, as if Lord Ruan was about to get married, but why didn't this king hear the news of Lord Ruan's marriage?"
"This matter is all to blame on the lady of the family, since my son died, she has been bent on telling me to marry another family, and even told me when the silk is ready, but now that the country is in danger, where am I in the mood to get married, so I pushed this matter over."
It can be said that Ruan Qingting's adaptability is very strong, and in just a few words, all the rhetoric has been prepared, and the preparation is not leaky, so that the python can not find a flaw.
The python laughed to himself: "In this way, it looks like I suspect the wrong person." ”
Ruan Qingting smiled bitterly: "I don't know why the king has doubts about me?" ”
"Come on, bring those two people up and show them to Lord Ruan."
Soon a team of guards came up with two people, who were not only tied up with flowers, but also had a mouthful of blood, and their teeth were knocked out when they looked closely. The whole body was covered with blood, and it was very miserable.
"This king's Ava city actually came in other people's spies, and eight out of ten people were killed in battle, and the remaining two people also had to wipe their necks, if it weren't for the fact that there were two masters under this king, I was afraid that they would really die like this."
Ruan Qingting's face was cold: "Have these two people explained clearly what they are behind the scenes?" ”
