Chapter 873: A mob explores the cave at night
"Haven't you had enough fun? After all, this is a cold and harsh borderland, and it's just a small county town. How can it be as fun as the capital?" Li Dongsheng walked out from the darkness.
"I hope he won't hold us back. Prince Yuanming is a smart man. He will definitely be able to guess the purpose of the court sending him here." Qin Yandong said.
"So what? General Dingyuan is missing, and he is indeed the one who benefited. Shouldn't he be suspicious? But we have to pay close attention to the Princess's Mansion."
I'm afraid this guy might have second thoughts! Jiang Youzhen thought of the capital, wondering if the emperor would be able to deal with it!
Late at night, Jiang Youzhen and Li Dongsheng changed into night clothes, quickly crossed the city wall, and got on a carriage prepared outside the city.
"Your flying claw is really useful! I didn't expect it could climb such a high city wall." Li Dongsheng was just amazed. Jiang Youzhen seemed to always have those wonderful ideas.
"Don't you know that this thing is the unique skill of the Red Gate Death Soldiers? Mine is just an improvement on theirs!"
Jiang Youzhen felt that the Red Gate organization was quite creative. As a gang organization, it was not easy to manage it like this.
After all, they are all martial arts masters. Excluding those assassins who have been trained since they were very young, no one knows what means they rely on to command so many martial arts masters.
"Red Gate? The men in black who assassinated us that day were well-trained. I suspect they are related to the underworld organization because their moves were very fast and fierce. It felt like a wild method."
"Oh? Could it be that the Red Gate has accepted another mission? Didn't they say that the Red Gate would not accept missions from the court? The Red Gate assassins failed to assassinate me before, and they never did it again. I guess they broke the rules, so they no longer accept missions from the court." Jiang Youzhen was surprised.
"Humph! They are just a martial arts organization. Can they tell whether it is a mission from the imperial court? Even if they kill people from the martial arts world, the imperial court may be involved behind the scenes, so this kind of thing is inevitable.
Besides, there are so many people in the Red Gate, even if someone accepts the task from the court and does not report it, it is estimated that they can conceal it. "Li Dongsheng mentioned the Red Gate with a somewhat disdainful tone.
"A bunch of rabble! They haven't committed any crime to the imperial court yet. Just wait and see! Once the interests of someone in the imperial court are touched, will this organization still have its current prestige?" Li Dongsheng continued.
"You don't seem to like the Red Gate?" Jiang Youzhen was very surprised.
"Of course I'm not optimistic! Just wait! No assassin organization is completely separated from the imperial court. Once it infiltrates the imperial court, it will be destroyed soon."
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen was deep in thought, Li Dongsheng suddenly moved his face closer to her.
Looking at the face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Jiang Youzhen leaned back and asked, "What are you doing?"
"The leader of the Red Gate Organization isn't you, is he?"
Jiang Youzhen almost laughed, "I was just a farmer before, do you think I have such ability? Besides, if it was really me, then I sent someone to assassinate you? Do you think this logic makes sense?"
"It's hard to say whether you have such ability! After all, you have only studied for more than a year and you can take the exam and win first place in one fell swoop. This is simply worthy of being called a child prodigy.
But we are now on the same page, and there is no need for you to send someone to assassinate me, so I have ruled you out. Congratulations! You are not a suspect!"
"Thank you so much!" Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes and slapped Li Dongsheng on the shoulder, "Watch the road ahead and drive faster."
The carriage drove to the intersection that Jiang Youzhen had tracked during the day. The two men drove the carriage to another path and hid it, then used light skills to continue their journey.
After the two arrived at the mine, they first communicated with the guard Jiang Xue using secret codes.
Jiang Xue came forward quickly, "Master, he is fine and is still locked in the room!"
"Have you gone in to check? Are you sure everything is okay?" Jiang Youzhen confirmed again.
"I have confirmed it. A maid went in to deliver food. I saw the girl's appearance. It was definitely Miss Chen."
Jiang Xue nodded. She dared not neglect the young master's instructions.
"Then you better stay here!" Jiang Youzhen asked Jiang Xue to stay and continue monitoring, and then took Li Dongsheng to the cave entrance.
"Brother, there aren't many people here right now. What should we do?" asked a guard guarding the cave entrance.
"It's our turn to be on duty today. Aren't you afraid of death? If anything goes wrong, both you and I will be held responsible!" Another guard immediately refused.
"What are you afraid of? I heard that Dalian also drank a few sips yesterday, but nothing happened. Besides, there are so many traps inside, and there are other brothers guarding. What are we afraid of? Even if we get drunk, it doesn't matter. As long as we wake up in time for the handover, we'll be fine!"
The guard took out two bags and a wine flask from the cliff and said, "Look! I've prepared everything, including roast chicken and braised pig ears. Shall we have a drink?"
The other guard was obviously hesitant, but under the continuous attack of this guard, his will finally wavered.
"Then just drink a few sips, don't drink too much, and don't get drunk!" said the eldest brother.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'm almost dying of hunger, hurry up!"
Then the two of them sat down and started to pour some wine, happily eating the roast chicken and pig ears.
Li Dongsheng and Jiang Youzhen, who were hiding in the dark, originally wanted to use smoke, but they didn't expect that the two of them actually drank it, and they also accidentally learned about the situation inside.
The two looked at each other, and Li Dongsheng thought that it would take too long to wait for them to get drunk, so he took out the drug and prepared to blow it over.
Just as he was about to blow, Jiang Youzhen pulled him back. He was confused and asked with his eyes, what does this mean? Are you really going to wait until they are drunk before taking action? How long will it take?
However, Jiang Youzhen shook his head and pointed in the direction of the two guards.
Li Dongsheng looked over and saw the two of them gnawing on chicken legs, eating with relish.
"Brother! Your roast chicken is so delicious. You are so generous. I will treat you to a drink tomorrow. We should both enjoy it!"
"Okay, okay! Then my brother will be waiting!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the person opposite him fell to the ground!
Li Dongsheng's eyes widened immediately. His alcohol tolerance was so poor? He passed out after two glasses? But the guard's next move surprised Li Dongsheng even more.
"Brother! Brother? You have such a low alcohol tolerance? You get drunk after two glasses? We haven't finished eating the roast chicken yet!" The guard pushed the man several times, and he lay on the ground motionless like a dead pig.
After making sure that the other party didn't react, the guard snorted coldly, picked up the wine jug beside him and poured some wine on the man, "Just fall asleep!"
He muttered something quietly, then whistled softly.
Li Dongsheng was shocked. This guy turned out to be a spy? He didn't expect that there were people who had the same goal as them?
But how did Jiang Youzhen know this? This puzzled Li Dongsheng.
Soon three men in black appeared, and they came silently.
"Protector, the person has fainted."
"Well! Have you figured out the mechanism inside?" asked the leading guardian.
