tread!
A procession of carriages and horses marched from night to day.
The convoy advanced slowly in the wilderness under the golden sun...
"Second Young Master, there is news from behind that the Bu family's caravan is not far behind and may enter the capital with us."
Wei Buqi sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditative. Yang Shaocheng's voice rang in his ears, and he nodded.
"I know, look at them."
The second young master fell into deep thought. Wu Juntang had obviously obtained the qualifications for the Bu family to enter the capital, otherwise he would not have dared to be so blatant. However, did she go to Li'an Mansion just to pick up those people to enter the capital openly?
"Report!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats came, but it was the report of the Chongming Guards who were pioneering to explore the road.
"I have been ordered to greet you at the front with our military officers and soldiers."
A respectful voice sounded outside the car, and he reported.
"A general said he was here to escort you with an order."
Wei Buqi understood and said unhurriedly.
"Send my regards to him."
The ordered army is the troops stationed outside the capital. There are 50,000 armored warriors. Together with the 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 forbidden troops in the capital camp, there are 100,000 elites. This is the main force to protect Luo Jing.
If the emperor wants to treat a certain minister with courtesy, he will usually order his sergeants to greet him ten miles outside the city. He will arrive in Beijing soon.
He might soon know what Wu Juntang wants to do.
"Second son."
Wei Buqi heard Yang Shaocheng's voice again. He was hiding in the sky and communicating with him.
"Something's not right..."
He said hesitantly with doubt in his tone.
"The ordered army has arrived with thousands of men and horses!"
Wei Er was stunned for a moment. Do we need so many people to welcome the son of a powerful official like him? After all, this is just etiquette. It is enough to have more than a hundred cavalry according to the regulations. Why is it so abnormal today?
"Don't worry about them."
Wei Buqi responded after hesitating for a moment. He had a guess in his mind and sat quietly in the car to rest.
The convoy soon met the ordered army waiting in front. The second young master did not get out of the car. Someone reported to him that the arriving general also had the task of guarding King Kang.
He further confirmed that the fifth lady had arranged for Bu's family to enter the capital, because some of the soldiers had already prepared to surround the caravan following them, as if to protect him, a noble person, so they could watch out for possible A dangerous presence.
……
"Wei Er is coming!"
"I seem to have seen the motorcade. Is this the third time he has entered Beijing in the past five years? First, he kidnapped the fifth lady of Duke Shen's mansion, and then smashed the third young master of Xinhou to death with a chessboard. I don't know what will happen this time. event."
"Didn't you see His Royal Highness Prince Zhi waiting outside the city? Speak quietly, and we will discuss this matter. If it falls into the ears of interested people, report it to the Chongming Guards. Those villains who eat people without spitting out their bones will be tracked down. We will not Eat the good fruit..."
A simple and majestic city wall shines resplendent in the scorching sun. This is the south wall of Luojing. It has weathered for thousands of years and is daunting.
At this moment, the south gate of the capital suddenly opened, and noises came from behind the gate. The people in the city actually crowded around to watch, and some people who didn't know it thought it was some general who had made a triumphant return.
Who in the capital does not know the name of the Second Young Master of Wei? Everyone has heard of its bad reputation. However, there are rumors that this beast has a beautiful appearance. The government can't help but encourage people to go to the streets to welcome it. Naturally, more people join in the fun.
"His Royal Highness Prince Zhi."
In front of the honor guard outside the city gate, a group of ministers' sons surrounded the bloated young man in a python robe. Among them, there was an older man who held a position and whispered.
"Did you see the car ahead?"
The plump man known as "King Zhi" turned to look at the personal ceremonial officer beside him. His small eyes showed clear stupidity, and his face was confused.
"The prince will call that person 'Brother Wei' when he sees him soon..."
Prince Zhi raised his hand and scratched his head, obviously not understanding what was going on, and said blankly.
"Who is Mr. Wei that you have been telling me about since yesterday? Why do everyone come to wait for him? It's really puzzling."
His innocent and ignorant words put everyone around him to shame. His Royal Highness Prince Zhi was born stupid, so the Emperor was particularly fond of this only grandson besides the prince.
"They're here."
A group of vehicles led by mounted guards rushed towards the south gate of Luojing, gradually slowing down. When the motorcade came to a stop, the team approaching from outside the city immediately stepped forward.
"Envoy Yang."
Wei Buqi opened his eyes in the carriage, his eyes flashing, and he sent a message to Yang Shaocheng, who had been in contact with him.
"Immediately ask the accompanying Chongming Guards to meet with the city defender alone."
One of his right-hand men, Lao Deng, is the Eighth Gate Admiral of Luojing, who is in charge of city defense. The South Gate Guard is of course also from the Wei Party.
"I want him to strictly investigate Wu Juntang and his party and the Bu family's caravan behind them."
Wei Er had no intention of meeting the Zhijun Prince. He sat in the car for a while, thinking a lot, but within a quarter of an hour, he got a reply.
"Second Young Master, the city guard general has something to say. He said that he received a warning from Chief Inspector Wu yesterday. She said that Prince Kang had a deep collusion with the Demon Cult. There is also the Bu family's caravan accompanying them. To ensure your safe entry into Beijing, we must step up The search efforts at the south gate of Dajing are being carried out, and Admiral Sima has mobilized the defense of the other seven gates to protect you."
Wei Buqi's eyes flashed with light and he whispered secretly.
'really……'
At this moment, he was convinced that Wu Juntang must be helping the Ten Thousand Fa Immortal Alliance to transport something to Beijing. This woman threw out the smoke bomb of Bu's Chamber of Commerce. In fact, she had no plan to pass through the south gate in front of her, but wanted to take advantage of him to enter the city from the south. , planning the other seven gates.
After clearing his thoughts, he became very interested. What Miss Fifth was doing now was completely out of the game plot. What surprise had she prepared for him?
So, on to town!
happy New Year!
Chapter 134: My Lord, something bad has happened. Your Master's wife has been captured by the Wei thieves.
"Take office, Beijing."
Login.
South city gate.
The crowd was full of people.
"When I see someone get off the bus, I call them 'Brother Wei', huh?"
Prince Zhi stood in front of the city gate with everyone guarding him, repeating the instructions of the personal ceremonial officer. He was here to welcome the second young master into the city.
The plump prince suddenly widened his eyes. He opened his mouth and saw that the luxurious motorcade stopped in front of the official road started to move again. The leading carriage with four red flame horses rushed towards him. Come over.
He was stunned when he saw the vehicles that were constantly enlarging in his eyes. It wasn't until the guards around him hurriedly pulled him to the side of the road that he suddenly came to his senses. The car passed in front of him, and he turned his head and glanced at the officials next to him. The confused look ignited the anger of many attendants and noble disciples.
"How dare he be so arrogant and domineering? The prince went out of the city to greet him, but he didn't get out of the car to pay his respects, but he dared to rush into his highness! I will definitely punish the emperor for his crimes..."
The voice of the speaker gradually became lower, and he looked at the carriages and horses galloping into the city unwillingly.
"Second Young Master, what are your orders?"
The Wei family's motorcade was traveling on the city road surrounded by people. In the middle of the team, an inconspicuous little carriage was the seat of a certain evil man.
"I want you to do something. Immediately mobilize the Ming Guards to check the other seven gates except the south gate. Track down the people who have entered the city. Intensify the inspection of the people who are waiting to enter the city. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately. .”
Wei Buqi sat in the carriage and gave orders to Yang Shaocheng and Su Guanlan.
He closed his eyes and listened to the people talking outside the car. The capital was not as good as Li'an Mansion. He could not be as obedient as before. Although the core figures of the Wei Party would help him with things, they could not obey him, the second son. .
However, there is one force that he can use like an arm, and that is the Chongming Guards. This secret guard organization that directly obeys the orders of Wei Shoufu is divided into the Zhenfu Department and the Defense Department. The former is difficult for him to control, but the latter must obey his orders. They His duty is to protect important members of the Wei Party. Who is more important than the Wei family's father and son? So his authority is extremely high.
"Yes."
Yang Shaocheng would not refuse his request. As the capital defense envoy of the Chongming Defense Department, Su Guanlan had to obey Wei Er's order, which seemed to be for safety reasons. The two of them took the order and retreated.
'He should be at home at this time...'
Wei Buqi closed his eyes and rested his mind. He sorted out the situation of his family in his mind. Since the restoration of the emperor, the Wei party has become famous all over the world, and its power has expanded to the point where even the Four Immortals are unable to control it.
There were two generals under Wei Shoufu, who were ranked as the second assistant in the cabinet and the eighth admiral of the imperial capital. They controlled the military and political power, and there were countless high-ranking officials under them.
Outside the capital, there are countless families who are attached to the Wei family.
"Son!"
Wei Buqi listened to the sound of horse hoofbeats, and not long after, the voice transmission between Yang and Su suddenly rang in his ears.
"The Chongmingwei informant reported that a suspicious person entered the city a quarter of an hour ago at Xizhimen."
Hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of interest on his face, but he listened to what they said.
"My men questioned the city guards. The official merchants who used to carry fruits and vegetables were unusual today. They brought an extra cart of goods into the city. Because of your entry into the capital, part of the Xizhimen manpower was transferred to patrol the city. In addition, the merchant was working for the palace. Transporting seasonal vegetables, they got away with it after bribing city officials."
Wei Er didn't change his expression. Did Fifth Miss finally show her weakness?
"You ask the Chongming Guards to hunt down that man. In addition, ask people to keep an eye on Wu Juntang."
Wei Buqi said calmly, and after he finished speaking, he was still sitting on the carriage as steady as a mountain.
The wheels were rolling, and the convoy headed towards the chief minister's residence in the east without looking back. The number of people watching along the road gradually decreased, and a bigger storm was brewing.
At noon, the sun was hanging above the zenith, and a vast manor with a series of palaces and pavilions was dyed golden, making it look magnificent and magnificent, no less than the imperial palace. This was the Wei Mansion.
"I have something important to report!"
When the Second Young Master's car was only one street away from the Wei Mansion, Su Guanlan's capable voice rang in his ears.
"I received a report that the soldiers of the Beijing camp discovered a sneaky person while patrolling the west of the city."
Wei Er was stunned. What was going on?
"The city patrol is chasing the thieves. If nothing else happens, they may be related to the suspicious merchants who entered the city from Xizhimen."
Wei Buqi pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed, and suddenly he said bluntly.
"I'm not going back home. You drive west."
Su Guanlan was sweating profusely, but he still did as he was told. A carriage quietly ran out of the motorcade, walked around the street, and headed west.
