Chapter 674: There are guests
The horse monkey stood by a side door in heaven and earth. The shadow formed by the courtyard wall and the big trees just blocked him. Without careful observation, it would be difficult to detect where he was. From time to time, someone ran from a distance, whispered a few words to him, and then turned around and left.
Today, Qin Feng will secretly go to the heaven and earth to meet with the secret envoy from Hulao Pass in Qin. Mahou takes the lead in preparing for the defense matters. In the past, Mahou was not very concerned about Qin Feng's security, but it was just a routine matter. In the palace, there were a master like Ying Gu and a ninth-level warrior like Eunuch Le, who lived in the palace. Even the emperor and the empress were all great masters at level nine. Anyone who wanted to enter the palace to assassinate would not be honest, and he would fall into the trap and beat a dog. He would go but never return.
But Li Zhi's death sounded a wake-up call to Ma Hou. He suddenly realized that no matter how powerful a master is, he still faces great danger under specific conditions. Even if his martial arts cultivation is as high as Li Zhi? In the series of interlocking traps, he could only end up with regret.
Li Zhiru, how can Qin Feng be exception? It’s okay to be in the palace, but if His Majesty the Emperor goes out, it would be not great if he is plotted by someone who is interested.
Not to mention anything else, we only need to come to a grandmaster-level figure who suddenly gave Qin Feng a fatal blow, and I am afraid that Qin Feng will not be able to escape. Yinggu and He Rentu will not be with Qin Feng at all times. The ultimate guards and protection must rely on their own personal guards to prevent problems and prevent them from escalating, shield all dangers as much as possible, eliminate dangerous factors as soon as possible, and at least, they must issue a dangerous alarm in advance, which is the responsibility of their own personal guards.
The horse monkey who figured out these no longer worked hard to improve the battlefield fighting ability of the suicide camp, but divided it into two parts. The part still maintained its previous style, with the focus on fighting on the battlefield. As a result, the horse monkey sect invited experts from the Eagle's Nest to train the personal guards. Although this work has only been carried out for a short time, it has already seen the results.
"Master Ma, today, all the guests in heaven and earth have been found out, because the New Year just passed, there were not many guests, which saved us a lot of trouble."
"Well, keep a close eye at the door. If you come in, you must immediately find out the details of the visitor. By the way, have all the people who will touch His Majesty in the heavens and earth?
"All of them have been arranged. The people in the kitchen were temporarily transferred from the palace, including the people who served us, and we secretly transferred them out. There are only dancers, singers and musicians on the heavens and earth, but these people were all from the palace before, with a very single background."
"Good job. Your Majesty is coming soon. Go down and keep an eye on it. When will Your Majesty return to the palace and when will we let go of this string in our minds?"
"Yes, commander!" The visitor bowed and turned around and left. Looking at this subordinate who was in front of him and tried his best to hide himself in the darkness while walking. The horse and monkey nodded with satisfaction.
Only when you are proficient can you guess what the enemy wants to do and how to do it. This kind of training must not only be persisted, but also be strengthened step by step. Of course, the power of the Eagle Nest is only temporary. In the future, the personal guards must form their own systems and have their own set of protective and alert methods.
The sound of ringing dong came from his ears, and a faint fragrance came with the wind. The monkey raised his eyelids, and the purple roe was turning out from a rockery.
"Miss Ziluo, what did you find along the way?" Ma Hou smiled, with a hint of provocation. The woman in front of her seemed ordinary, but those who knew her experience knew very well that she was a famous figure in the world of spy exploration.
"It's great to be able to take off the birds." Zi Luo chuckled, "Master Ma, you have set up eight secret whistles in this backyard, so we don't need to mention the Minggang!"
After being told by Zi Luo, Mahou couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, but it was still a little bit worse after all.
"Master Ma, you have just started, it's very good. Those who have worked in our industry know that even if you have been studying for many years and are proficient in countless methods, it is hard to say that you will not be discovered. Studying this method carefully is just to reduce the chance of being discovered." Zi Luo comforted. "Your Majesty, please come soon. I have arranged all my head."
"It's almost done!" Mahou walked to the door, listened for a while, and a crisp sound of horse hooves came from the alley outside, and the side door was gently knocked.
Mahou opened the side door, and the first person who appeared in front of him was Eunuch Le. Eunuch Le looked at Mahou and Zi Luo with inquiring eyes. Both of them nodded. Eunuch Le then turned sideways, and Qin Feng, the emperor of the Ming Empire, appeared in front of them.
"What's going on with Cheng Weigao?" Qin Feng asked Zi Luo while walking.
"Your Majesty, the person brought by Lord Cheng is called Xianyutong. According to him, he is Xiao Qiang's master. Judging from the situation reported by the Eagle Nest, this Xianyutong is real. Whether it is appearance or habit, it is the same as the one discovered by the Eagle Nest. But what is interesting is not the Xianyutong, but the guard he is with him."
"Oh?" Qin Feng paused for a moment, "Is there any situation with this guard?"
Ma Hou also became nervous: "Zi Luo, why didn't you tell me about this in advance? Where did this person come from?"
"Mr. Ma, don't be nervous. This person's martial arts cultivation is not too high. He looks great at level 7 or 8 unless he is a master like Li Zhi and can hide and disguise his cultivation. But I think there are not many people like Li Zhi in the world." Zi Luo smiled. "If he wants to be an assassin, in front of His Majesty, he will not even have a chance to take action."
"How did you find out?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, have we taken over many eunuchs and palace maids who were dismissed from the palace? These people are not special in other ways, but they are very clever in their eyes and colors. They accidentally discovered that Xian Yutong's attitude towards him was a bit special, and they probably had an extraordinary origin. It must have been not sent by Xiao Qiang to protect Xian Yutong." Zi Luo said with a smile.
"Then what person do you think is?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Zi Luo covered her mouth and chuckled: "Your Majesty has known it clearly in his heart."
Qin Feng laughed loudly, stopped talking, and walked forward quickly.
After the conversation between the two, Ma Hou was a little confused. He chased Zi Luo and asked, "Who is this person and where is it from?"
In front of Mahou, Zi Luo did not hide it. "If I guessed it well, this person was probably from Yongdu, otherwise there would be no need to hide it. They were not avoiding us, but worried about being discovered by Deng. Xiao Qiang was also a member of the border army, a former confidant of Deng, and a person who Deng is now vigorously trying to win over but is careful to be wary of."
"So that's it!" Ma Hou suddenly realized.
Guests who come to heaven and earth are either rich or noble, but most people can only appreciate the scenery of the front yard. The place where the real big figures come is the back yard separated by a wall from the front yard. A series of independent small buildings are located between bamboo forests, or hidden under pine and cypresses, with a silence of paths and winding and twists and turns, seemingly close to you, but it is difficult for those who are not familiar with the road to easily walk in. Maybe you go around for a while, but you find that you have returned to your first departure location.
The Lotus Tower does not usually receive guests, and it is reserved for the palace to entertain guests. Last year, when Li Zhi lived in the Heaven and Earth, the Lotus Tower lived in.
The entire lotus building is located in the middle of a huge pond, and a wooden corridor connects the lotus building with the shore. On the shore, green bamboos are hidden, pine and cypress are clustered, and rockery is lined with rockery. At this moment, these places are densely filled with guards assigned by horses and monkeys.
In the building, the lights were bright and warm as spring, with the sound of silk and bamboo, and the sound of clear chants. Several dancers were fluttering in colorful sleeves, dancing gracefully. These were all from the palace maids in the palace. They used to dance for the emperor and concubines to see, but now they have become dancers in heaven and earth.
But for them, they were actually lucky. Because in the palace, they would never have a chance to stand out. If they could not be favored by the emperor or be kind to the palace, they would have to die in the palace walls for the rest of their lives. Qin Feng entered the capital and laid off a large number of palace maids and eunuchs. When these people left the palace, they would be considered as regaining their freedom. In order to solve their livelihood problems after they left the palace, the Commerce Department of the Ming Dynasty and the Heaven and Earth received a large number of these personnel.
These palace maids are now employed by the Heaven and Earth, and receive a considerable salary every month. As long as the contract expires, they can leave at any time. Moreover, if they have someone they like, they only need to compensate for certain money from the Heaven and Earth, and they can leave. If they have nowhere to go, they can also work in the Heaven and Earth.
Inside the house, Xian Yutong from Hulao Pass and a group of guards were stunned. In the bitter and cold Qin State and the poor Qin State, they had never seen such extravagant and extremely charming dances. Wherever they were, the dances were mostly rough but not soft.
In a room next door, Qin Feng left the wall, where there was a small mechanism that could clearly see the situation inside. "Zi Luo, you guessed it well. Whether it was Xianyutong or the guards, they should have been stationed in Hulao Pass for a long time. With the treatment of the Qin border army, they must have been used to living a hard life. Look at the food on the case, even if they have tried their best to restrain it, they still exposed their nature." Qin Feng said.
Zi Luo leaned over and took a look: "Your Majesty, I really didn't see this."
"Have you noticed the bones that the guards had gnawed? It's clean, but it's a puppy that will make it difficult for dogs to lick a trace of meat from it." Qin Feng smiled and said, "This is a habit that has been formed for a long time. Although they don't eat much, cherishing every grain of food is something that every Qin border army carved into their bones."
"It's true!" Ma Hou also leaned over and looked for a moment, "But your Majesty, one is not like this. Also, those guards were drooling when they watched the dance, but the other one had a clear and tight look."
"You also see the problem!" Qin Feng chuckled: "This person must be from Yongdu. If he could easily enter and exit the palace, these dances would not be a rare thing for him."
"He probably didn't expect that these small details revealed his true nature," said Ma Hou pride.
