Chapter 120 Hongmen Banquet
The one-eyed boy named Song Yang was shocked, his mind was running quickly, and after he replied: "I guess the Pavilion Master is for the meeting between the King Wuhu and the Marquis of Huaiyin in two days."
Jiang Chengjia curled his lips slightly, and said with praise in his eyes: "Yes. Since you know so clearly, you must be prepared for this matter?"
Song Yang immediately nodded happily and replied: "I found out that the King of Wuhu will set the location of the village on the outskirts of Guangxin City. He has ordered people to sneak into the village to prepare."
Qianshan was a little surprised when she heard this. Cangwu was a staggered place between Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, which was very important. The young master and the girl have always valued it, especially Guangxin, the county town capital. This one-eyed boy is really a delicate and clear-headed boy, and he knows everything. No wonder he was appointed as the Lord of Guangxin by Uncle Fang.
Song Yang's arrangement saved Jiang Chengjia from trying to inquire. She secretly relaxed and continued: "I came here not only for the meeting in two days. Gu An, the prefect of Linhe County, will also come here in two days. Song Yang, I need you to make careful preparations and protect Gu An. Also, on the day of the meeting, I need to get into the village to investigate the situation and need someone to cover up. Are you sure to do these two things?"
"Don't worry, Master, this matter will be covered by me!" The one-eyed boy agreed readily without any hesitation.
"Since that's the case, you will take the order and continue to give your brothers a rest in the past two days, and keep your energy and wait for the meeting in two days." Jiang Chengjia asked Guan and asked.
The one-eyed boy nodded confidently, thanked Jiang Chengjia for his concern, and then retreated from the inner hall.
The four helms of the outer hall were already waiting. As soon as she saw Song Yang coming out, she couldn't wait to surround him and ask why the Pavilion Master had come to Guangxin in person.
In the inner hall, Jiang Chengjia watched the one-eyed boy Song Yang walk out of the main hall with a very bold and refreshing pace, which was inconsistent with his short height and slightly beautiful appearance.
Qianshan thoughtfully said, "I had heard Uncle Fang Si say that he knew a very heroic young man in Huainan and was very suitable to be the lord of Guangxin City. When I see you today, I have a bit of demeanor."
Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Fourth's ability to look at people is still first-class in the cabinet. I hope this Song Yangneng is the key to our saving Gu An."
Qianshan nodded and agreed, "Girl, be at ease. It will take two days to see the true chapter. We will rest early tonight and wait for Song Yang to follow this place and check the terrain of Guangxin in the next two days."
Jiang Chengjia fell silent and sat upright in the inner hall, without any idea of getting up, and gently tapped her knees with slender fingers. She was often used to this when she was thinking about things. Seeing this, Qianshan stopped and waited for her without saying a word.
Not long after, she moved slightly and said to Qianshan: "It's late at night, let's go and rest."
Qianshan didn't ask much, and whispered, then helped Jiang Chengjia walk into the inner room.
This ordinary and simple small flat house is located southward, facing the sunshine, and the lighting in the back house is also excellent. The moonlight shines into the windows without any pulling, and it is transparent and white.
Qianshan and Jiang Chengjia slept on the narrow bed with their clothes, and soon fell asleep due to the fatigue of traveling for three days and nights.
Unlike Linhe, Guangxin has many more aliens here, and there are many special stalls and vendors on the streets during the day, which have never been before in the Central Plains. They are diverse and colorful. This is a good place to visit and understand, but Jiang Chengjia has no intention of seeing these. On the first day of August, it is the day when Ning Nanyou meets the King of Wuhu.
Two days after arriving at Guangxin that day, under the arrangement of Song Yang, she and Qianshan disguised themselves as peasant women in the village and hid in the village on the outskirts of the city, waiting for Gu An's arrival.
As expected, Gu An received an anonymous letter from Ning Nanyou, and brought fifteen soldiers from the county government to Guangxin City in Cangwu and made preparations in advance in this city.
Jiang Chengjia lurked in the village for two days, and never saw Ningnanyou who had arrived here long ago.
On the first day of August, she secretly walked around the Zhuangzi mansion as usual. She thought she would not see Ning Nanyou until the meeting.
Unexpectedly, things were both within her expectations and beyond her expectations.
For some reason, Gu An suddenly appeared in the farm and was led all the way to the owner's mansion of the farm.
Jiang Chengjiaben stayed on the roof without doing anything, staring at Guangxin's sky in a daze, and turned his ears and heard a very familiar voice.
"I am surprised that I can actually see Lord Gu here?" A low and magnetic tone came, causing Jiang Chengjia, who was showing his god, to immediately pull back his thoughts.
She leaned down on the roof and looked carefully under the house. She saw that Ning Nanyou, who had not seen for many days, suddenly appeared in the owner's private house today. In front of him, Gu An, who had been waiting for two days.
For a moment, the two people she was waiting for appeared in front of him, and Jiang Chengjia was a little surprised.
Things didn't seem to be as she thought. In the past two days, Song Yang sent people to keep an eye on the movements in the direction of Guangxin City Gate, and he had not seen Gu An for a long time. She and Qianshan were almost always guarding the owner's private house in the village, and never saw Ning Nanyou.
So how did these two people appear here out of thin air?
She stared at her eyes and couldn't figure it out. The two below were talking, and she pricked her ears and heard their conversation.
"June is very clear about my movements." Gu An sarcastically.
"Authentic, I received news from Lord Gu coming to Guangxin yesterday. I was curious for a moment and used some tricks to find out where Lord Gu's place was. I think Lord Gu and the magistrate of Guangxin were very close to him, so he came here at such an important moment in Linhe?" Ning Nanyou's dark eyes were filled with cold chills.
"Since you know that I came here to reminisce about the old friend... why do you still send someone to surround my old friend's study and force me to come here?" Gu An looked ugly and stared at him.
Ning Nanyou suddenly smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Gu is really here to reminisce about the past? As far as I know, six days ago, Lord. Gu received a silk book...isn't it?"
This made Gu An shocked his heart, and he looked surprised and said, "How did you know? Could it be that the silk book... was actually given by you?"
Ning Nanyou suddenly fell silent and stared at Gu An silently. The faint black eyes were like a deep pool, which was calm but also terrifying.
Gu An suddenly got goosebumps.
Six days ago, he suddenly received an anonymous silk book in his mansion, which included evidence of the crimes related to the movement initiated by individual tribes of the Wuhu tribe and the Chinese and Koreans. He sent someone to investigate the evidence carefully, and all of them were shocking. He had to pay attention to the silk book, so he came to Guangxin.
Although he vaguely guessed in his heart that the silk book was most likely a trap specifically targeting him, he never expected that the silk book six days ago was delivered to his mansion by the Marquis of Huaiyin.
"I wonder what the plan is going on?" Gu An was worried, his guard was hidden in his eyes, and he was very alert to the person in front of him.
This time he came to Guangxin, and just in case, he also made some careful precautions. There was no need to be afraid of what the Marquis of Huaiyin would do to him. But he missed a place this time. Guangxin County Magistrate Hu Guang was his old friend, and few people knew about his friendship with Hu Guang. It was precisely because of this that Gu An chose to settle in Hu Guang's study. Moreover, this study was Hu Guang's private property, and few people knew about it, so he could live there with confidence. Who had ever thought that Ning Nanyou could find Hu Guang's head and expose his whereabouts. Afterwards, this person threatened the lives of the first-class people in the study and brought him here.
This must have been done after some investigation and planning in advance. Obviously, this was a situation specially set up for him by Ning Nanyou, with the purpose of attracting him to the public. However, Ning Nanyou tried his best to bring him here. What was the reason for this? Looking at the current situation, Ning Nanyou did not seem to want to kill him.
Ning Nanyou said coldly as usual: "Since I ask Lord Gu to come here, I want to explain my plan in detail to you."
He paused, then turned toward the courtyard behind him. After walking four steps, he turned around and saw Gu An still standing there, and then he said, "Mr. Gu, please."
Ning Nanyou bent down slightly and said politely to Gu An.
Gu An hesitated and took a step forward.
Then the two entered the hall. Jiang Chengjia, who was hiding on the roof, changed direction and slowly moved towards the inner hall. Before he could turn over from the eaves, he saw Ning Nanyou and Gu An come to the courtyard. It happened that there were seats in the rockery flowing water, and two sets of snacks were prepared on the table.
"Mr. Gu, please sit down."
Ning Nanyou put his five fingers together and gently asked him to the opposite side of the seat, then he lifted his robe and sat in front of the desk.
Gu An paused and saluted Ning Nanyou first before sat down.
Ning Nanyou ate the pastries on the table as if nothing had happened, and he was not saying anything. He seemed to be waiting for him to ask himself.
Gu An hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask Ning Nan, "What does Junhou mean this time?"
The man opposite was very calm and calm, his eyes were calm: "Mr. Gu must have guessed something about this. I specially invited Mr. Gu to come here, so I naturally wanted to tell Master Gu about the meeting with King Wuhu this evening."
Gu An was stunned, not knowing his intentions, nor did he believe in him. His eyes looked at him repeatedly, as if he wanted to see a hole in him. "One month ago, Junhou and his subordinate mentioned Linhedong. There were Wuhu people involved in the chaos, but today Junhou was going to meet with the King of Wuhu. This really made the subordinate unresolved. I wonder what Junhou would explain this?"
