agent dressed as brother

Zhou Yiyun clenched his fists after hearing this. He knows his tenth brother very well. He likes to do business. At that time, the brothers were talking and drinking together, and after that, they even accompanied the envoy with the twelfth brother, how could they not show up for two days?

"Sister-in-law ten, you should go back to the mansion first and inform younger brother if you have any news." Zhou Yiyun sat alone in the hall and nodded his forehead, recalling what went wrong in the past few days, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic, he had no clue: "Wang Fan, you Go to the city gate to inquire about the strange behavior of the envoys when they left the city, Li Jin, take some people to look for the ten princes in the city, remember that everything must be done in secret." No time to pay attention to the shouts of Bubu and Xiaoxiao behind, and hurried to the place royal palace.

The two brothers who had been left out looked at each other, holding hands and planning to sue their father, so that his father would pay the price for ignoring them.Zhou Yiyun waited for the transmission at the gate of the palace, and he didn't know how long it took to report up layer by layer. Just when he was spinning and getting dizzy, he finally saw Shengyan.Zhou Yuhuang looked at the sweaty old Eleven, and rarely made any sarcasm. Zhou Yiyun didn't wait to ask questions, and hurriedly explained the purpose of his visit and asked for orders: "Father, please leave this matter to my son."

Zhou Yuhuang frowned: "It was passed on to me to search for the Tenth Prince in a large area outside the city. I know that you have a deep brotherly love, but you are restless and may make a mistake in your judgment."

"Father, you can't. If it's related to the envoys of other countries, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the tenth brother." Zhou Yiyun took a heavy breath: "I know a thing or two about the birthday. People are strictly controlled to prevent anyone from sneaking in. The tenth brother has been in contact with the envoys recently. If he leaves the city, he must be registered in the guards." Zhou Yiyun is not the only one who is restless, Zhou Yuhuang is also very anxious. Heartless and soft-tempered, when he was young, he followed the old eleven's ass and ran around. Let them go, there are some princes who died before they reached adulthood, but this ten sons have been in contact with each other for nearly 30 years, so how can the king of a country not be confused.

"Your Majesty, the bodyguard Wang Fan has an urgent message to see the eleventh prince." Eunuch Li entered the main hall to report.

"Father, Wang Fan was sent by my ministers to investigate the whereabouts of Brother Ten."

Zhou Yuhuang hurriedly ordered: "Quick pass."

With a trembling body, Wang Fan turned left and right into the main hall: "Slave...Slave Wang Fan...greetings to the Holy Majesty."

"Okay, if you find anything, report it quickly." Zhou Yuhuang ignored the trembling voice and asked for the result directly.

"Yes, the servant found out...the ten princes two days ago...the ten princes."

Zhou Yiyun stomped his legs anxiously, staring at him with sharp eyes: "Can you straighten your tongue!"

"Yes, yes, the servant found out that the Tenth Prince accompanied Shang Ruiguo's envoys to visit the Dongyu Building two days ago. The servant does not have a clerk and cannot check Shang Ruiguo's entry and exit certificate."

"Wang Fan, you go back to the mansion and take the mansion order to take a few people to the south, and turn to the east after no one is following you. Remember to wear ordinary clothes and not reveal your identity." Then he turned to Zhou Yuhuang: "Father, can you summon me?" The person in charge of the register of diplomatic relations with the Ministry of Rites should first get to know Shangrui Kingdom in writing, in case someone borrows a knife to kill someone."

Zhou Yuhuang was so distraught that he didn't care about the old eleven's overreach: "Go find the sixth prince." Zhou Yuhuang hurriedly circled the hall, several princes have inherited their habitual problems, Zhou Yiyun kept looking out Looking around, the sixth prince stepped into the main hall, and before receiving the ceremony, he listened to Zhou Yuhuang's question: "Lao Liu, tell me about the origin of Shang Ruiguo."

The sixth prince, who was finally appreciated by his father, coughed lightly and talked about the written materials: "Shang Ruiguo is prosperous and prosperous, commerce is prosperous, the salt and iron produced are all controlled by the court, and melons and fruits are regarded as the best, and they are very prestigious in front of neighboring countries. On the face of it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prosperous age."

"Such a big country..." Zhou Yuhuang was just about to express his opinion, but Zhou Yiyun exploded at this moment: "It's gone? Is that how it is? The country's development and production, the people's recuperation, the atmosphere of democracy, the direction of the country's prestige, how many passes, etc. No reference at all? Even if you can’t break into the interior, don’t you go to investigate after submitting the state letter? Entering other countries only tastes the melons and fruits? What’s the use of knowing those superficial things? Other countries only look at appearances?”

The sixth prince was humiliated by the old eleven, and he said slightly angrily: "You are not in your position, and you don't plan for politics. Do you think you can do what you want freely when you enter another country? Do you think others are so easy to bully?"

Zhou Yiyun thumped himself on the head, trying to calm himself down, but at this moment, the fire couldn't be suppressed and he choked back: "Can't you even make unannounced visits? You know exactly which beautiful girl came from a flower building in Beijing. , Why do you wither when you go to other countries? Do you think they will establish diplomatic relations with you based on the appearance? There are too many people who talk about it and the common people say a few words. How many books are written by the Ministry of Rites? Don’t take this opportunity to inquire about the strength, only on the surface, and wait for other countries to find out the details. You can’t even find a pass in the counterattack, and it’s good to have trade and cultural exchanges, but you must be on the defensive, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles.”

"You want to blame all the faults on the Ministry of Rites. Don't forget that envoys from other countries have customs certificates when they come and go."

"Fart." Zhou Yiyun's eyes widened: "There are many people who are proficient in this craft. Didn't someone make my fake seal back then? My father ordered this matter to be carried out by Brother Ten and the Ministry of Rites. You don't compare the seals of other countries. It's all fine, why did Brother Ten fall into the eyes of the enemy?"

"you……"

"Enough." Zhou Yuhuang sternly shouted: "Did I let you talk about political affairs? Prioritize... Do you care about the whereabouts of the old ten or continue to show off? Old eleven I ordered you to check the whereabouts of the old ten immediately, it doesn't matter What is the way, to see people in life, to see corpses in death."

Zhou Yiyun poked his neck: "Brother Ten will be fine."

"roll……"

The sixth prince caught up with Zhou Yiyun and glared: "Is it really possible to reprimand your sixth brother in front of your father?"

Zhou Yiyun shook off his hand: "The premise of calling you sixth brother is that tenth brother is fine. I should not make random suggestions if I made a mistake. You are guilty of negligence. Tenth brother is fine. If there is something wrong, you and I cannot escape the responsibility. Of course you You can also shift the responsibility to Shang Rui's courtiers, but you have become a useless talent in the eyes of the emperor. Sixth brother, I advise you to keep quiet. There are not many people who know about it. At that time, even if there is a mouth, it is hard to say."

Wang Fan and others were dressed in silk and satin clothes specially rewarded by Liu Xu, looking for rare treasures along the way like stubborn sons and sisters.Zhou Yiyun waited impatiently for the news. Every day, the palace, the Tenth Prince's Mansion, and his own mansion were on a three-point line. quiet place.Today was exhausted back home again, shutting himself in the study for self-reflection, Liu Xu sat opposite him and stared at his every move, but unfortunately he could really hold back for half an hour, just sit quietly without speaking, if it wasn't for breathing His chest was undulating, Liu Xu thought he had turned into a terracotta warrior.

"I know you're worried about Brother Ten, but there's nothing to make up for it just by being anxious. Why don't you think about what went wrong now, so that you can take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

Zhou Yiyun lay on the desk in a half-dead state: "Master's mind is very confused now, he can't think of anything, he just wants to know about Brother Ten as soon as possible."

"In order to solve my confusion, sir, please let me know." Liu Xu sat forward, intending to confuse her with her beauty, but her usual "sharp weapon" was useless today: "Oh, brother ten Take the guards with you when you go out of the city, it is said that envoys from other countries will be more careful."

"Grandpa read the record of going out of the city. There are 20 guards around him, of which 10 people from other countries are brought into the city, but no one knows how many people are hidden at the exit."

"Why?"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty only guarantees their safety within the territory of the country. It doesn't matter if it is not within the scope of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Father has sent a letter to Shang Rui. Unexpectedly, this is also the root of the conflict, you said why Brother Ten brought ten people, why is he so stupid."

Liu Xu glanced at Zhou Yiyun, and couldn't bear to utter a cruel guess. It would be better to accept the reality earlier than this depression: "Will you leave the country?" It was only two days later that he found out that he had disappeared. It's not short, as long as the guards are lax and smuggled out one person out of the city, it's easy.

Apparently Zhou Yiyun didn't want to think in that direction, took Liu Xu's hand and began to mutter: "When I was five or six years old, I knew that there would be sweets to eat with brother ten. The tenth brother was often punished worse. When I was young, my temper was not pleasant, and the tenth brother always changed his way to ask others for rewards, and gave me all the proceeds. When he was locked up, the tenth brother would crawl away. He always listens to me and obeys without thinking. He hates me being wronged the most. He doesn't feel bad for throwing tens of thousands of taels of hard-earned money at me. Xu'er, I am very sorry. I regret what I proposed this time, it's all my fault that Brother Ten had an accident, if he... I will never be able to raise my head to face anyone in my life."

Seeing his tearful appearance, Liu Xu felt distressed and comforted, "Even if they leave the country, they won't go too far. Think about it, if they intentionally stir up disputes between the two countries, how could they reveal their identities so quickly? Brother Ten also Nothing will happen, this is a hostage."

Zhou Yiyun raised his tearful eyes: "Really?"

Liu Xu nodded wildly with certainty: "Brother Ten is an auspicious person, how could he be compromised by such a small misfortune?" After coaxing and deceiving Zhou Yiyun, who was extremely exhausted, he finally fell asleep.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Yiyun jumped out of bed and hurried out of the room. Liu Xu shook his head and followed him with his shoes on. Are they imprisoned by them?"

"What do you mean suspicious?"

"These people will drive several horse-drawn carriages to the nearby towns to buy food, and then go to the deep mountains. A few of us are afraid that we will startle the snake, so we return to the mansion to ask the eleventh prince and master to make a decision."

"Where are the others?" Zhou Yiyun asked, frowning.

"Wang Fan and others are still waiting in the town."

Liu Xu dragged Zhou Yiyun into the room: "Let's all come in and talk, put on your shoes." Zhou Yiyun put on his shoes and hurried out: "Li Jin, follow to the palace to ask for orders to send troops."

Liu Xu stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, you don't know what's going on now, if the other party is really the thief who kidnapped Brother Ten, if you act recklessly, you won't be afraid that they will jump the wall in a hurry and it will be bad for Brother Ten? Down."

Zhou Yiyun held his head and remained silent.

Liu Xu thought for a while and asked Li Jin, "How far?"

"It's more than a hundred miles away from the pass, passing a town."

"Which border does the town belong to?"

"It belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Back then, the court intended to let the people in the town move to Beijing. They didn't want to leave their homeland. The Holy One was considerate and didn't force them, so they have been living outside the city."

Liu Xu relaxed a lot: "As long as it belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's much easier to handle. First of all, we have to find out the truth and find out whether Brother Ten was captured by them. You can't investigate openly, you can only visit secretly. How many people did Li Jin stay there?"

"Return to the master, stay with the seven people."

"Go and prepare a few sets of black clothes, binoculars, ropes...weapons." Liu Xu stopped in time to say "guns" this modern weapon, and the habitual preparations have to regress after too long a mission: "Later we will A few people follow the trail."

"No! Don't make trouble for me." Liu Xu nodded to Li Jin, pressed Zhou Yiyun's shoulders and sat him down on the chair, and said calmly: "Time is running out, I don't want to waste time, I will I think I have that ability, you always let me believe you, this time you have to believe me, think about your position, don't add some damage to the unarmed brother ten."

"Xu'er, this trip..."

"I have to do everything. You have feelings for the tenth brother, and I will return the tenth brother's righteousness. And it's just to investigate, wait for the work, wait for the change, recharge your energy, and wait for the opportunity to attack. Don't forget that there is something wrong. The tenth brother's Safety is danger."

Zhou Yiyun held Liu Xu's hand, and said guiltily, "I'm sorry for you, and let you..."

"Leave that aside, do you have any plans?"

Zhou Yiyun pointed to his forehead: "You leave the pass as the tenth prince's mansion, and my father will wait for your news at the pass in another identity."

Liu Xu smiled confidently at him, turned and went out, grabbed Zhou Yifeng's neck who had just entered the mansion: "Do you want to go on an adventure together?"

Zhou Yifeng's eyes lit up and he nodded frantically: "Is there any news about Brother Ten? Eleventh Sister-in-Law will take me there so I can make up for it. Brother Eleven refuses to see me now."

Liu Xu, Zhou Yifeng, and Li Jin bowed their heads and waited for the guards to hand over the token of the Ten Princes' Mansion to the city officials, then drove to Linshan town to meet others.
