Chapter 278 The Commander of the Guards
Chu Tang silently looked at the excited Ye Xingren and did not respond.
"Team leader Chu?" Ye Xingren calmed down and found that Chu Tang didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but shout.
Chu Tang said calmly: "Mr. Chu has almost completed what Mr. Feng told him. So what Mr. Feng promised to Mr. Chu, will he definitely be able to fulfill it?"
Ye Xingren frowned and said displeasedly: "Team leader Chu doubts Feng's ability?"
"Chu is now a wanted criminal!"
"Isn't this just to win the trust of those people?"
Chu Tang said coldly: "It is understandable that Marquis Nanqing wants to punish Chu. It is also foreseeable that Luoshen Valley offers a reward to kill Chu. But Chu did not expect that your guards would also get involved and fight with Nan Qing." Hou Yiyi made Chu a wanted criminal by the court! Commander Feng, Chu can't imagine how you will end up.
"Acting like this makes people suspect that you Yiyiwei just want to take advantage of Mr. Chu, and you don't care about the consequences. Do you think Chu will not worry about being abandoned by you like a pair of shoes afterwards?"
Ye Xingren was angry and said in a deep voice: "Feng is the commander of the Liangzhou Guards, and Captain Chu would actually doubt Feng's ability?"
Chu Tang's eyes were dark and incomprehensible, as if he was lost in memories. After a long time, he sighed: "Now Chu Tang doesn't know if it is the right thing to cooperate with you Yiwei."
Ye Xingren hurriedly said: "Leader Chu, you have to believe in the ability of our guards. We can definitely help you deal with the threats from Nanqinghou and Luoshen Valley!"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Yes, because of them, Chu sold himself to you."
The night traveler said displeasedly: "They are all working for the imperial court, how can they say that they have to sacrifice their lives?"
Chu Tang curled his lips, feeling a little bitter in his heart. His thoughts seemed to be drawn back to that night more than a month ago——
At that time, he killed Nanqinghou Crown Prince, and the whole Qingcheng was about to suffer.
Before Nan Qinghou and Luoshen Gu arrived at Qingcheng, Tang Yue, the deputy commander of the Liangzhou Guards, brought the man in front of him to him covertly.
This man was resolute and very agile. When he came up, he was introduced as Commander Feng Jianqi of the Liangzhou Guards. He had a deal to discuss with him, Chu Tang.
And Chu Tang seemed to have expected that the other party would come to his door, and he welcomed it.
So, with only three of them knowing it, they reached a deal.
What are they conspiring to do?
According to Feng Jianqi, their Yiyi guards had long noticed that there was a mysterious force hidden under the martial arts forest in Liangzhou, which was vaguely related to the King of Liang who had been destroyed decades ago.
As an agency set up by the imperial court to supervise martial arts in various states, it is the responsibility of the Zhenyiwei to uncover these bugs hiding in the dark and catch them all.
However, the opponent is too cunning and powerful, and the Yiyi Guards are short of manpower. They have been unable to locate their hiding place, and they can't even figure out the opponent's details.
And a bronze mirror sent by Guijun a few months ago, related to King Liang, happened to come into their sight.
The bronze mirror involved him, Chu Tang, and naturally became the object of attention of their guards.
This notice really shocked Feng Jianqi. Not only did Qingcheng Yiyi Guards ask for instructions to recruit Chu Tang as a secret guard, but they also noticed that he not only killed and wounded the high disciples of Luoshen Valley, but also connected with Nan Qinghou's All the princes were killed!
This is simply audacious and lawless!
However, they, the Yiwei, like young people like this!
In the tone of Feng Jianqi: "People who have high martial arts skills, are young, have great potential, and then renounce the martial arts and officialdom, they are simply tailor-made for them! Such people want to walk in an open and aboveboard world. In the world, that can only be achieved by becoming a royal guard. And the guards like this kind of people the most."
Therefore, the Yiyi Guards wanted to recruit him, Chu Tang, on the condition that they help them accomplish a big thing - to find out the details of the remnants of King Liang!
If you want to know the details of someone else, of course you have to break into the inside of the person, which is commonly known as the "Second Five" or "spy" - undercover!
Feng Jianqi wanted Chu Tang to go deep into the unknown force, stay undercover in it, and wait for the right time to eliminate the opponent in one fell swoop.
If it were normal, people would never admit Chu Tang in without any reason, and there would be very few undercover opportunities.
But right now is the most suitable time - Chu Tang has become the target of everyone's pursuit both officially and in the martial arts world!
Everyone shouts about beating him, but he has nowhere to go. Young people with high martial arts skills are also the favorite targets of the dark forces!
Of course, this does not mean that people will act if the conditions are suitable.
Feng Jianqi admitted that he wanted to take a gamble.
Now it seems that he won the bet.
According to Feng Jianqi's words, although no one of them has gotten into the other party's internal senior management, they have already grasped some situations and can influence some of them.
They will try their best to create favorable conditions for Chu Tang, push the people inside to form a consensus to win over him, and strive for opportunities for him to join.
In addition, they also found out that this force was more active in the northeastern area of Liangzhou, making Chu Tang desperately flee in that direction.
No, Nanqinghou and Luoshengu created a momentum that shocked most of Liangzhou. Chu Tang, who was being hunted, finally became the candidate for the remnants of the Liang King to take action as Feng Jianqi expected.
To this end, Feng Jianqi made a lot of efforts and has been secretly contributing. For example, he openly created an atmosphere where everyone was persecuting Chu Tang. Sometimes he also guided Nanqinghou and Luoshengu to infiltrate places where there were signs of activity among the remnants of King Liang. .
The results were gratifying. When Chu Tang was besieged on the top of the mountain with no way to go, and Feng Jianqi was considering whether to ask the Guards to help save people, some unidentified men in black appeared, and they killed people. Those who saved people saved people, and those who set fires set fires, and finally Chu Tang was taken away.
At that moment, Feng Jianqi knew that his undercover strategy was half successful.
He knew better that since the other party put so much effort into rescuing Chu Tang, the latter's life was definitely not in danger for the time being.
He just had to wait for some signals agreed with Chu Tang to appear.
Nearly a month later, he received a report that Chu Tang reappeared in Qingcheng.
Therefore, Feng Jianqi rushed to Qingcheng immediately. Although he missed the meeting with Chu Tang, he found the marks he left along the way and followed him to Fengqi Town.
Just tonight, the Changhong Sword Sect broke out in riots, and the entire Fengqi Town was in chaos. Feng Jianqi felt that the opportunity had come, so he sent out the signal they had secretly agreed upon. What was even more gratifying was that he also received a response from Chu Tang.
This is the scene where the two meet now.
Both of them were silent for a while, except for the sound of running water beside them.
Feng Jianqi realized that Chu Tang's mood was not right, so he could only comfort him softly: "Boss Chu, if you sent us a signal, it must mean that things have made good progress. Why not explain it in detail and let's go over the details together?"
When Chu Tang heard this, he looked up at him and said, "It was very difficult for Chu to make your signal arrow, but fortunately it finally came in use."
Feng Jianqi smiled and said: "Captain Chu is so smart that he can make just a signal arrow. Isn't it easy to catch him?"
Chu Tang snorted and said nothing.
As an undercover agent, they certainly cannot be unprepared if they want to go deep into the wolf's den.
In some places where there are powerful guards, they can communicate with each other using the agreed upon secret codes.
In the wild or in an emergency, firing signal arrows is the most appropriate way.
For example, tonight, in the chaos, the two of them connected with each other as soon as the signal arrow was fired, which was extremely convenient.
However, you cannot carry this thing with you because you are afraid of being searched. Anything suspicious may cause the mission to fail.
Chu Tang was now glad that he had nothing else with him when he came into contact with Zhou Ziyu's people. After all, no one knew whether his whole body had been searched when he was unconscious.
Since he didn't bring anything with him, how did he get the flare?
I have to say that self-reliance is a good tradition.
Feng Jianqi told Chu Tang all the information on making the flare, asking him to remember all the processes and make it himself if he had the chance.
The process is quite simple, and the materials are commonly seen. Although there are special features, it is just a matter of technique.
Chu Tang was on his way to Qingcheng again, and after making sure that no one was following him, he passed through the county and entered the county, purchased all the materials, and finally made three signal arrows after several attempts before entering Qingcheng.
He kept these three signal arrows tied to his arms inside his sleeves so that no one could find them.
I thought that there would be no place for permanent martial arts for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy tonight.
"Master Feng, have you followed him all the way from Qingcheng?" Chu Tang was curious as to why Feng Jianqi appeared in Fengqi Town.
He could understand that other guards were wandering around, but Feng Jianqi was the dignified commander of the guards in Liangzhou, with an official rank of second rank, which meant he was a real prisoner.
Even though the other party advertises that he is only at the Seventh Realm, with his identity, status and power, even Luoshen Valley would not dare to provoke him easily.
This is also the reason why Chu Tang is willing to make a deal with him, otherwise who would want to be a 25-year-old who will die badly.
According to the promise, as long as he, Chu Tang, successfully goes undercover and passes the information about the remnants of King Liang to the Zhen Yiwei, he can overthrow this force in one fell swoop. Afterwards, Qi General will ask for credit from the court and even recommend him as the head of Zhen Yiwei. above positions.
By then, with the meritorious service and the skin of Zhen Yiwei, not to mention Luoshen Valley would not dare to attack him easily, even Nan Qinghou would have to swallow this breath.
Although Marquis Nanqing is a marquis, there are many princes in the court. He is not without rivals in the court. As long as Liangzhou Zhenyiwei Zheng'er Bajing reports his son's deeds to the current emperor, he will die even if he wants to Delaminated skin.
Since his son was guilty, how could the policeman who killed him be a criminal?
Therefore, for powerful people, right and wrong are just a matter of words.
Chu Tang was well aware of the power of Yizhou Yiyiwei commander, so he was willing to make a deal with Feng Jianqi.
After all, he still wants to walk in the sunshine openly, instead of being an anonymous prodigal.
This is also the biggest reason why he is willing to take risks and deal with Zhou Ziyu at all costs.
"Feng heard the information about Team Leader Chu's activities in Qingcheng and knew that you must have gained something. He didn't dare to neglect you. He didn't see you when he arrived in Qingcheng. He followed the code you left and came all the way to Feng. Qizhen." Feng Jianqi quickly answered Chu Tang's question.
Chu Tang asked again: "When did you arrive?"
"We arrived yesterday and found the inn where you left the password, but there was no sign of you. Now I know that you have changed your appearance."
Chu Tang was surprised: "So you've been paying attention to what's going on in that inn?"
Feng Jianqi nodded and said: "Exactly, I also saw that you went to the Changhong Sword Sect tonight. We stayed for most of the night, and what we were waiting for was a chaos in the Changhong Sword Sect. In a hurry, we fired the signal arrow, and saw See if you respond."
Chu Tang nodded and said: "Master Feng, Chu will rush to Changjun County to meet up with those people later. Let's keep the story short."
"Feng is all ears." Feng Jianqi certainly hopes to get more valuable news immediately.
Chu Tang's eyes narrowed and he said: "Master Feng, after the matter is completed, the conditions you promised Chu before must be counted!"
Feng Jian Qi said firmly: "I, Feng Jian Qi, swear on my head that as long as things come true, I will never lose to Leader Chu!"
Chu Tang nodded. Now he is no longer a transparent person who can be bullied by everyone.
With his martial arts skills and reputation, it's really hard to trick anyone into plotting against him.
It was precisely because Feng Jianqi saw his promising value in the future that he personally took the initiative to negotiate the deal.
Under the night, with the sound of the river, under Feng Jianqi's expectant look, Chu Tang omitted the process of being chased by Nan Qinghou and Jin Changgong, and focused on explaining the contact with Zhou Ziyu and others after being rescued. .
When did they meet, what was the environment like in that place, who was there, what was said, what was done, from the beginning to the end, until the behavior of going to the Changhong Sword Sect tonight, Chu Tang told it in detail. Tell it once.
Feng Jianqi resisted all the questions and listened carefully. After seeing Chu Tang finished explaining, he asked: "Are you sure that Zhou Ziyu said that he is the great-grandson of King Liang?"
Chu Tang nodded and said, "That's what he said. He didn't mean what he said, and Chu Tang just listened to it."
"Impossible!" Feng Jianqi flatly denied.
"Huh?" Chu Tang was confused.
Feng Jianqi said: "It was fifty years ago from King Liang's uprising to his downfall. At that time, Feng was not yet born. I have never seen or heard of his deeds. However, since I felt that there was this mysterious force After the event, coupled with the information you sent to Guijun, Feng became extremely concerned. He asked many people and checked a lot of information. It is certain that the entire line of King Liang was dead at that time, and no one escaped. possible!"
Chu Tang was surprised: "Master Feng, are you...sure?"
Feng Jianqi said in a cold voice: "The King of Liang ransacked the family and exterminated the clan, and it was the Jian Yiwei who did it! When the Jian Yiwei worked, they would rather kill the wrong one than let go! Don't say that the young grandson of the Liang King could escape, it was the maid at home. , they all have to go see the King of Hell!"
Chu Tang frowned: "Then what is Zhou Ziyu's background? Judging from the fact that he knows a lot about Liang Wang's treasure, as well as his style and the people he has attracted, it doesn't look like he is faking it."
Feng Jianqi was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but become suspicious: "It shouldn't be! All the files record that the whole family of Prince Liang is dead. There shouldn't be any fish that slipped through the net!"
Chu Tang said: "There are no guarantees that there are no omissions in the files from fifty years ago. Maybe someone messed up the matter and got away with the guilty. They were afraid of losing their heads and did not dare to report it, so they concealed the facts and lied to the superiors."
Feng Jianqi said coldly: "Boss Chu, you are the biggest slander against the guards!"
Chu Tang smiled bitterly: "Chu is just making random guesses."
Seeing Qi Moran, Feng asked after a while: "Boss Chu, do you really believe that there is a treasure of King Liang in this world?"
"Ah?" Chu Tang was shocked, what do you mean, can you even fake this?
