Chapter 139: Putting on the room and lifting the tiles

8days ago Historical fiction 8
Qiuye had left the wing room silently, just as she came in quietly.

Not long after Zhang Ning fell asleep alone, he was suddenly woken up by a voice. He lay on the bed and heard someone talking loudly in the yard outside, but he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.

He looked at the skylight above his head, which was pitch black and should have been dark.

Moreover, this yard is the center of the cult chief stadium. How could anyone make noise here in the cold early morning?

Zhang Ning was curious, so he got up and put on his clothes and opened the door to check.

There were indeed several women standing outside the main room where Yao Ji lived. No one else said anything. Only a woman in her forties said loudly to the door again: Dongxue, my subordinate, has an urgent matter, please forgive me if you disturb the leader Qingmeng.

Zhang Ning knew a charlatan named Qiuye, and there was another one who called himself Dongxue. He could easily recall that the so-called four charlatans may be named after spring, summer, autumn and winter; then this winter snow should also be one of the four charlatans who ward off the cult's senior management.

The name Dongxue is quite elegant, but unexpectedly, she is a half-old woman with dark skin. She has very high cheekbones and a little explosive incisors, but her appearance is not very good.

Because she said there was something urgent, Zhang Ning was curious, so she stepped back and tied up her belt, didn't combed her hair, and then went out.

When the woman outside the door saw him coming out, she bent down slightly to show her salute, which shows that Zhang Ning, as a distinguished guest, was already aware of the upper class of the cult ward off.

Zhang Ning turned around and looked at the closed door of the main room, with no movement inside.

He said: At this late, the leader may have already had a loose dress to rest. Don’t be impatient for a while, and you have to wait for a while...what is important?Can you tell me first?

Dongxue looked back and forth, and after a brief thought, she said: I just got the report and found a suspicious person at the entrance of the back mountain of the headquarters, and injured both of us.At that time, we increased our vigilance near the back mountain. There were eight people everywhere, but there were grass and trees that were inconvenient to move. In addition, it was dark, and the eight people heard the warning but failed to get it. They were each hit and injured and ran away.

After hearing this, Zhang Ning was shocked and said: Why are some people squatting in the wilderness so late?

Dongxue said seriously: That's why our people will issue a warning to arrest him and interrogate him, but failed.

Do you see clearly that person's height and appearance?Zhang Ning said anxiously.

Dongxue replied: I was not in the back mountain when the accident happened. According to the injured person, I saw clearly the person's appearance. I guess I was thirty or forty years old, very tall, with a dry and thin face and thick bones...

While she described it, Zhang Ning's face that was owed to slap appeared in front of Zhang Ning. What's even more outrageous is that the person I imagined seemed to say: Just drink.

Who is this guy not Zhan Zhuli?

Who except him ran to the barren mountains in the middle of the night without any trouble?

Zhang Ning was immediately anxious and asked again: Is the place where I and the entourage come in the "back mountain entrance" to ward off the cult?

Dongxuedao: Yes.

Will that guy Zhan Zhuli see the secret passage of me entering the Land Temple?!

How did he find another entrance besides Ghost Temple?

Zhang Ning suddenly remembered the words of the believer who led the way when chatting: The main entrance is too wide and easy to be exposed. Let’s take another road, and we will transport supplies to the mountain every month from here, so we should be more secretive.

The guy must have secretly observed the activities of the cultists and slowly found the entrance to the back mountain!

This guy who is so good at drinking and full of sloppy and is really a talented person. Zhang Ning really doesn't know whether to praise him or scold him.

As expected, someone who is capable and good at doing things may not be fine. What if he is his opponent?

At first, Zhang Ning said, "Don't be impatient." Now he is anxious and hurried outside the door to call the leader.

But there was still no movement, as if there was no one at all, so he asked the people around him: Will the leader be in the hot spring behind the yard?

A woman said: The leader is resting in the room, and he will not go to take a shower so late.

Zhang Ning then walked up the steps and slapped hard with his palm.Seeing this, Dongxue and others were surprised to change their color. They were about to persuade him, but the wooden door was already slammed by him.Dongxue hurriedly said: The distinguished guest is rude, aren’t you afraid that the leader will blame him?

Zhang Ning ignored her and continued to shoot.After a while, Yao Ji's cold voice finally came from inside: Who is it? Are you going to remove the tiles in the room?

Zhang Ning said: It’s me, it’s an urgent matter. Open the door quickly and I have something to say.

Yao Ji's tone changed accordingly, and she said in it: I have already slept with loose clothes, and I am not well dressed and I am not inconvenient to meet each other immediately, wait first.

She didn't hear that loud just now?

It's really a bit strange.

This thought flashed through Zhang Ning's mind. He didn't care about such a small matter now and turned around and said: Go, I'll call my two followers up and let them pack up and wait.

The woman did have some ink marks when she woke up, so Zhang Ning hurriedly made some preparations in advance.

I have to leave the cult warding immediately and go back.Zhang Ning thought outside the door and said, "I actually had nothing to say before leaving, I just said a few words."

Yao Ji's voice inside became a little quick: What happened?

Zhang Ning said: I went to ward off the cult last night, and someone might have been watching me, so I have to go back and find a way to deal with it.

At this time, a light sound was heard inside the door, and Yao Ji's voice said: Come in alone and close the door.

Just now, I clearly heard Yao Ji say that it is not convenient to sleep in a loose clothes for the time being, so I let Zhang Ning in in a short while. I was still a man, and the few people in the yard were a little confused. In addition, the leader allowed a so-called distinguished guest to live in the same yard. At this time, many people vaguely guessed Zhang Ning's identity.

If it weren't for the person who was very close to the leader, how could he be treated like this? With Zhang Ning's young age, this vague relationship became more and more vivid in the small circle.

Zhang Ning walked into the elegantly decorated room and saw bead curtains hanging in front of the warm pavilion, red candles burning inside, and the fine beads hanging in front of his eyes. He could vaguely see a beautiful figure moving inside, as if he was still wearing a belt.

Zhang Ning remembered the disagreement last night, and suddenly felt that the Yao Ji whom he was thinking of seemed to be drifting away. He did not act rashly and stayed outside the pearl curtain in a regular manner.

Yao Ji said in it: Is it the Zhan Zhuli who brought the last letter to Fang Ling?

It's most likely that it's him.

Zhang Ning said, this person has been out of our sight for nearly a month and has been missing. I sent someone to inspect the records of the Yima along the post road, and it is estimated that he may have returned with the purpose of secretly checking my activities for Wu Yong.Wu Yong was the suspicion liner that Hu Ying put around me after I was the Huguang Censor. This matter should have been approved by Emperor Xuande.If Zhan Zhuli did see me entering the secret passage last night, without physical evidence or just one certification, it would be transmitted to Emperor Xuande's ears, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and I would definitely not dare to return to the officialdom.

Zhang Ning had long realized that there were hidden dangers in this trip. At that time, the itinerary that he wanted to send Fang Ling in person was cancelled; but it was impossible to refuse to come to recognize Emperor Jianwen. People always have a lucky mentality. How could they feel that Zhan Zhuli was witnessing such a low-probability incident?

So there is nothing to regret now. Many things are at risk, and this time I am just bad luck.

All we can do now is to try to make up for it, how to make up for it?

Zhang Ning suddenly remembered a word: kill someone to silence him.

If you fail, you will not be able to get involved in the officialdom. You can only join the rebellion...

In this way, the ward off the cult will become a threat that Emperor Xuande wants to eradicate, and his situation will be even worse; his own situation will not be much better.

Even Yao Ji had to bow to please Jianwen, and Zhang Ning could imagine the situation and status he might face.
