Chapter 251: The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment Were Masters Back Then!
Chapter 251
"Did you find out where he went?"
Wang Chong raised his head, looked at Ma Yinlong and said.
"I didn't go after him. In the forest, the vegetation is lush and it's easy to be found, so when I saw him entering the forest, I withdrew. No accident, the place where they gathered the elite soldiers of Goguryeo was just outside the city."
Knowing that Wang Chong was referring to the assassin, Ma Yinlong said.
"Outside the city?"
Wang Chong's brows twitched, and he turned his head slowly, looking at the faintly visible hilltop outside the high city wall, thinking deeply.
After looking around, the largest stronghold of the Goguryeo people is actually outside the city. Although it is a bit strange, it is reasonable to think about it.
For one thing, they have a secret passage, so they can enter the city even at night. Second, even if the whereabouts are exposed, it is easy to escape.
"What's next for you?"
Wang Chong looked at Ma Yinlong in front of him. Ma Yinlong was completely different from the downcast middle-aged man he saw in the Yujing Tower, no matter how energetic he was, and there was a burning in his eyes. A different kind of light, full of strong fighting spirit.
The assassin was let go by Ma Yinlong. With his strength, he could have captured the assassin and interrogated their locations, but Ma Yinlong did not do so.
Wang Chong believed that he must have his reasons for doing so.
As the person who has studied the Goguryeo people and the little beast King Lin the most, Wang Chong believes that Ma Yinlong can be completely trusted in this regard.
"The assassins of the Goguryeo people are dead men. It is impossible to get useful information from them. If they are captured rashly, they may scare the snake away."
Ma Yinlong knew what Wang Chong was thinking, and explained the reason for letting the assassin go in a few words:
"As for what's next... After so many years, maybe it's time for them to show up! It's time to understand this matter."
At the end, Ma Yinlong sighed deeply, with complicated expressions in his eyes.
...
Ma Yinlong took three days off. He didn't say where he was going, and Wang Chong didn't ask either.
From the "white tiger's tusk" of the proud son of heaven to the "small copyist" of the government office, everyone has their own story behind them, and they haven't explored it.
But three days later, Wang Chong saw Ma Yinlong's "achievements" in the "Jade Palace".
Right in front of Wang Chong, three poorly dressed middle-aged men stood side by side in front of Wang Chong. One of these three people is a vicissitudes of life bird dealer, with a very big eagle perched on his shoulder, and the other is a drunken one-armed alcoholic, his left sleeve is empty, and Wang Chong can smell the alcohol on his body from a long distance away. .
And there is another one that looks particularly fierce. At first glance, it looks like the kind of hiring master who wants money but not life, and whoever pays will work for him.
Although these three people look a little different, it seems that it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. But that's all.
In the capital, there are thousands if not tens of thousands of people like this.
Normally, when such three people stood in front of him, Wang Chong wouldn't take a second look, and wouldn't pay much attention at all.
But it took Ma Yinlong three days to introduce these people to him, so Wang Chong couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Are these people... all those from the Ministry of Punishment?"
Wang Chong looked at the three people in front of him and said. He wasn't stupid either. Wang Chong felt the same emotions as Ma Yinlong from these people. It was no surprise that they were also the people who were implicated in the case back then.
"Well, not exactly. Lone Wolf is a member of the Ministry of War."
Ma Yinlong pointed to the fierce-looking hiring master who wanted money and life, with an extremely heavy voice:
"Back then, among the six ministries, many officials and ministers, large and small, were assassinated, causing a sensation. A few of us were responsible for that case. The case couldn't be solved, and everyone was implicated. I was demoted to the Ministry of Officials to copy books. Laoying was dismissed from office and investigated. He stayed in prison for a few years and was not allowed to pretend to be a bird dealer. Although Tieshou was not imprisoned, when he was handling the case, he was deposed by the Goguryeo people and spent all day getting drunk in restaurants. , and Lone Wolf concealed his identity and went to become a hired master, whoever paid him would work for him!"
"Over the years, those brothers from back then have died or been injured. Those few old brothers who survived the assassination by the Goguryeo people are the only ones."
When Ma Yinlong talked about the past, he was very sad. The eagle, iron hand, and lone wolf behind them also had red eyes.
Although Wang Chong didn't experience the case back then and didn't know the experience of these people, he could feel it from Ma Yinlong's voice.
More than ten years ago, when the Little Beast King assassinated important officials of the court, they were still ambitious young men in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment. It was a time when the future was bright and immeasurable.
But because of this case, the brothers who investigated the case together all those years died and were injured. One by one, the young heroes fell from the aloof to the dust, and fell to the point where they are today.
And it was their sorrow that made the "Little Beast Forest King" famous and achieved the current legendary reputation.
Others in the room obviously felt this too, and the atmosphere became a little heavy.
"Oh! Let's not talk about this, maybe, this is fate. After going around for fifteen years, we still can't escape! This matter started with us, and it will end with us. The eagle, the iron hand, Lone wolf, this is Prince Wang, and his grandfather...is the Duke Jiu of the Tang Dynasty!"
The three of them originally appeared here because of Ma Yinlong's affection, but when they heard that Wang Chong's grandfather was Jiu Gong, they finally showed a different look, and looked at Wang Chong with respect.
"Prince Wang!"
The three arrogant people bowed their heads in front of Wang Chong at the same time, and bowed deeply.
"Prince Wang, since you are the grandson of Jiugong, you are not considered an outsider. Back then, we should be punished according to the law for the assassination of important officials in the capital court. It was the grandfather and a group of ministers who came forward to persuade the saint. Your Majesty, we survived. From now on, if you have any orders, you can just speak up."
Tekrate among the three, and the other two also nodded.
Wang Chong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. This is the first time he knows this kind of thing. He has never heard of it from his grandfather since he was a child, including his previous life.
If the three of them hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have known about it.
But think about it, such a big case has attracted so much attention. As a grandfather back then, he was naturally on the list of attention.
If Ma Yinlong and the others were really going to be executed by the imperial court, it was impossible to ignore it with grandpa's temper.
"My lord, don't look at them in a state of desperation, some lacking hands, some are drunk, some are fighting for their lives... But they are all top masters. In terms of understanding of the Goguryeo people, including their martial arts, Looking at the capital, I am afraid that no one can surpass them."
Ma Yinlong introduced from the side:
"Although Iron Hand has only one arm, his remaining right arm is very powerful. His sword in the right hand is fierce and fierce, even if I am, I may not be able to block his sword in the right hand. Lone wolf nature He likes to risk his life with his life, and to fight more with less, even if the assassins of Goguryeo encounter him, they will stay away. His strength is definitely not comparable to that of the guards in the palace. Back then, Lone Wolf was a master in the Ministry of War , now even more powerful."
"Young Master, if you keep him by your side, it will be the best barrier. Even if you are assassinated by a Goguryeo expert, you will not be in danger of your life. As long as the one-eyed man is alive, he will never let anyone get close to you."
There was something in Ma Yinlong's words, and Wang Chong knew without explaining that he looked down on the people around him, and felt that relying on these people alone could not guarantee his safety.
However, Wang Chong really couldn't say anything to refute.
Regardless of whether Gong Yuyao, or the masters of the Zhuang family and the Chi family, they are obviously not enough in front of people like Ma Yinlong. Among other things, these people practiced for much longer than Miyame Ayaka and the others.
After all, age is where it is!
"...However, I really can't tell it! This iron hand looks like he smells like alcohol, but he is still a very powerful master."
Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.
He has vaguely understood Ma Yinlong's methods. From Ma Yinlong's mouth, the iron hand with a very powerful right hand sword can be imagined.
Of the three people, Ma Yinlong has already introduced two, and now there is only the last one left.
Wang Chong turned his gaze to the last eagle.
"As for the eagle, heh, his martial arts is not very high. However, he has a unique skill which is exactly what we need now. That's why we brought him here."
The last "Eagle", Ma Yinlong has nothing to do with selling, and directly introduces his ability:
"The eagle is the most powerful eagle trainer. He was recognized as the number one in the capital. It is also for this reason that he was transferred in to cooperate with the investigation of the Goguryeo people. The eagle he trained was very spiritual. Tracking and inquiring, The rushing food is very powerful."
"The first person that the Goguryeo people desperately wanted to get rid of was not me and the one-eyed people, but the eagle. Even in the past few years, the Goguryeo people have been inquiring about him. But fortunately, there was no one other than us back then. People have seen him."
"Your Excellency must have noticed that the Goguryeo people like to use specially trained ravens to deliver messages. This kind of raven is extremely fast and has a very strong hook. Even Hai Dongqing can't catch it. But the big eagle trained by the eagle But they can successfully prey on them and track them without being discovered. If you want to find the stronghold of the Goguryeo people outside the city without being discovered by them, you must use the ability of the eagle."
"ah!"
Wang Chong finally opened his eyes wide, and looked at the eagle dressed as a "bird seller" in surprise. At this moment, he finally knew why Ma Yinlong insisted on finding him.
If there is the ability of eagles, the Goguryeo people will have nowhere to hide, and no matter what news they pass, they can be captured in advance through eagles.
To deal with the Goguryeo people, the ability of the eagle is indeed crucial and indispensable!
