Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 67
on the official road.

Dozens of figures in cloaks rode fast horses lightly, whipping endlessly, kicking up dust.

"Gao Zongqi, you shouldn't be here, Zhang Ying is deliberately taking revenge on you!"

Lu Jianxing Qingqing rode in front and whispered to Gao Feng: "This matter is an order personally handed down by Eunuch Zhao, and it is confidential! If anything goes wrong, our lives will be at risk!"

Gao Feng turned his head and looked at Lu Jianxing, who was bitter and resentful, and said with a faint smile: "So if you don't tell me, I won't ask. Since Zhang Ying asked me to cooperate with Mr. Lu, then I will just cooperate."

Lu Jianxing looked at Gao Feng and saw that his expression was flat, as if he didn't realize the problem at all, so he couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

When Lu Jianxing sighed, Gao Feng also sighed in his heart.

Zhao Jingzhong said that it was a secret order from Chongzhen, asking them to get rid of Wei Zhongxian before he went to Fengyang, and completely destroy the eunuch party. Only when Wei Zhongxian died, the eunuch party would completely disintegrate.

It's just that Lu Jianxing, who is only a Jinyiwei pro-army general banner, actually doesn't know the pros and cons. If Chongzhen wants Wei Zhongxian to die, there is no need for the three of them to do it.

Now that the war in Northern Liao is urgent, what Chongzhen needs is the gold and silver treasures accumulated by Wei Zhongxian during the eight years of raging the government and the opposition to relieve the crisis at the border.

Gao Feng didn't ask what the secret was because he already knew it, and he even knew that what Zhao Jingzhong passed on to Lu Jianxing and the three brothers was not Chongzhen's secret edict, but Zhao Jingzhong's own. Not Chongzhen, but him Zhao Jingzhong.

Only after Wei Zhongxian died, could Zhao Jingzhong sit securely in the position of Admiral of Dongchang, because Wei Zhongxian was Zhao Jingzhong's adoptive father.

Zhao Jingzhong understands Chongzhen's character and actions, and now seven out of ten people in the government and the opposition are involved in the "eunuch party". If the investigation continues, the already declining Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed. Chongzhen is determined to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty Therefore, as long as Wei Zhongxian dies, Chongzhen will probably take the opportunity to end the suppression of the "eunuch party" in order to stabilize the world, so that Zhao Jingzhong will naturally be safe and peaceful.

Lu Jianxing obviously didn't know anything about these things. Due to the limitation of his vision, he could only see what appeared in his eyes, but he couldn't penetrate the surface and analyze everything hidden inside.

He regards intercepting Wei Zhongxian's secret order this time as an opportunity to stand out, but he doesn't know that no matter what the result is, he, the General Banner of Jinyiwei, who doesn't even have a hundred households, will be turned into cannon fodder under the competition of various forces and power, and he will die undoubtedly!

Although Gao Feng has become one of the cannon fodder now, and he was pushed into danger by the outright villain Zhang Ying of Baihu, but this also saved his energy. After all, this time is the easiest time for him to get close to Wei Zhongxian and complete the world. The opportunity of the task, he will not let it go!
……

The horseshoes were flying fast, and everyone was switching between two horses. They walked forward without resting or eating and drinking at most two sips of water, just to be able to intercept Wei Zhongxian in Fucheng County.

At dusk, before reaching Fucheng County, everyone turned from the official road to a small road to avoid the detection of Wei Zhongxian's subordinates.

When the night was dark, the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, swallowing up the last ray of light between heaven and earth.

Thunder flashed, roared, and rumbled in the thick dark clouds. Soon, the air became moist, and then there was a shower of rain.

Whoa!
The rain poured down in silk threads, pouring on Lu Jianxing and everyone in Gaofeng.

But this time, in order to conceal their identities, they acted in secret. All of them wore cloaks and hats, so they were not afraid of the heavy rain. The forward speed was such that it was already midnight when it was about to reach Fucheng County.

"My lord! Fucheng County is ahead!"

A small flag official drove forward and reported to Lu Jianxing.

Lu Jianxing's eyes flickered for a moment, and he already had a plan in mind, and immediately ordered: "After entering the city, immediately guard the four gates! No one can come in or out!"

Then he gave Shen Lian a look.

Shen Lian nodded, and then shouted: "Divide into ten teams! No big or small inn will let you go!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of Jinyiwei responded, and then dispersed, each heading in one direction.

"Gao Zongqi, you can come with us."

Lu Jianxing hesitated again and again, and suggested this to Gao Feng.

Gao Feng glanced at Lu Jianxing in surprise, but nodded directly without any hesitation.

According to the plot he knew, the three Lu Jianxing brothers were the first to discover the inn where Wei Zhongxian was staying after entering the city, so even if Lu Jianxing didn't propose, he would follow the three of Lu Jianxing, and now he has saved some words.

However, Lu Jianxing would let him be together, which surprised Gao Feng. He could guess that in Lu Jianxing's eyes, this matter must be a rare opportunity to stand out in one fell swoop, but he wanted to share such an opportunity with him. Let him have a new understanding of this middle-aged man who wants to become a hundred households.

Lu Jianxing nodded, greeted Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, and the four rode into the city together.

Lu Jianxing also had his own thoughts on the reason why Gao Feng followed them. The credit for this matter is indeed great. Even with the abilities of their three brothers, they may not be able to get it completely. Bringing Gao Feng can be regarded as sharing some pressure.

At the same time, although this move will give some credit to Gao Feng, Gao Gao is the general banner who has just taken office, and it will not affect his promotion to the hundred households.

In the end, Gao Feng was designed by Baihu Zhangying, which made him a little blind, and wanted to use this to pull Gao Feng and let him overcome the difficulties in front of him.

With the badge of Jin Yiwei, the officers and soldiers of Fucheng County did not dare to delay for even a moment. For fear of being accused of some unfounded charges, they hurriedly opened the city gate.

Gao Feng and the other four entered the city in the rain. Shen Lian was very experienced in pursuing records. He grabbed an officer and soldier guarding the city and asked him something.

"how?"

Shen Lian looked at Lu Jianxing, and replied: "There are fifteen inns in Fucheng County, eight of them are on the main street, three are in Xicheng where wealthy families gather, two are near Nancheng Market where there are many people, and the other Both of them are located in the relatively desolate northern suburbs, mainly to provide a resting place for businessmen passing by, Wei Zhongxian and others must not dare to make a big show, so they should be in one of these two inns."

Lu Jianxing nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, let's go over and check one by one, Wei Zhongxian can't escape!"

Gao Feng grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and then suddenly pinched his legs, and the horse let out a rhythmic whine and galloped away.

In the real world, horse riding seems to be an activity only in the upper class. Gao Feng is naturally not familiar with it, but the effect of the five internal organs Daoyin technique to condense the muscles and bones of the whole body makes him more coordinated, even if he is sitting on the back of a horse. On the ground, he can also control his own stability, as if he has already practiced an excellent riding skill.
