Chapter 98 The shocking identity of the mole
"Thank you, Master Pei, for your help." The old eunuch's feminine voice sounded, and he said to Pei Xuanjing with a smile.
Pei Xuanjing smiled modestly, "You're welcome, father-in-law."
It can be said that when Pei Xuanjing and the old eunuch attacked Du Chongyun together, everything was already concluded. This time, the assassination of Maitreya Cult It will end in failure.
Not to mention the losses of ordinary believers, just the death of two first-grade warriors, two second-grade warriors, and seven third-grade masters and pseudo-grandmasters has already caused heavy losses to the Maitreya Sect. This is almost obvious. Half of them are masters.
However, their side also suffered a lot of losses in this assassination. Xuanwu, one of the four commanders of Jinyiwei, died in the battle, a grandmaster and a pseudo-grandmaster in the East Factory died in the battle, and a pseudo-grandmaster in the West Factory died in the battle.
Although some of the other masters did not lose their lives, they each suffered considerable injuries. For example, Qingyangzi was severely injured by Du Chongyang, a first-grade warrior. Although his foundation was not damaged, he inevitably lost most of his combat effectiveness.
And the number of wounded among the third-grade and first-grade Jinyiwei was even greater, and many of them lost their lives.
On the other hand, Lin Qingyi was very lucky this time. Not only was he not injured in the assassination, but he was inspired when he teamed up with others to fight against a master warrior, and seemed to have signs of understanding the true meaning of martial arts.
After experiencing this huge turmoil, even if the emperor's chariot was intact and the emperor did not suffer any harm, it was obvious that the emperor's idea of going on patrol was interrupted.
When the news of the emperor's assassination spread back to Tiandu, the ministers in Tiandu immediately made the decision that they could not let the emperor continue to patrol and wanted to terminate this tour.
Faced with the obstruction of all the princes in the hall, even the emperor cannot act arbitrarily and continue to be willful. Moreover, he also knows that the injuries of the guards around him cannot support his actions.
However, the emperor did not want to simply return to Tiandu, but took advantage of the situation and entered Xuanfu Town, one of the important towns.
Seeing that the emperor was no longer continuing the parade, after entering the important military town of Xuanfu Town, and with great assurance of safety, the Gonggun princes in the court complained a little about this time, but in the end they were Compromised.
After the emperor entered Xuanfu Town, the local governor and general military officer were naturally responsible for the security of the perimeter. People like Pei Xuanjing did not need to be as vigilant as before, and their tasks were much easier.
After this assassination, Pei Xuanjing killed a first-grade warrior with his own hands, which naturally established his supreme reputation.
The emperor not only summoned him, but also gave him a large reward. After learning that his magic weapon was destroyed in this battle, he even promised to give him a better magic weapon. To compensate.
Unfortunately, these rewards and compensations from the emperor can only be fulfilled after returning to Tiandu. For Pei Xuanjing, water from far away cannot quench his thirst for nearness.
However, Qianlian's magic weapons are rare, but in this important town of Xuan Mansion, there are still many magic weapons with a hundred fold level.
After Jiang Bin saw Pei Xuanjing's strength, his desire to win over him became even more fervent. As soon as he arrived at the important town of Xuanfu, he found a 100-fold sword for Pei Xuanjing for him to use temporarily.
Jiang Bin was not the only one to win over Pei Xuanjing. Zhang Yong, the director of the East Factory, and Gu Dayong, the director of the West Factory, also used the pretext of repaying Pei Xuanjing for his rescue, and invariably presented him with a 100%-level sword.
Faced with the gifts from these three people, Pei Xuanjing accepted them calmly, but did not express his position on their attempts to win over them.
Now that he has stood at the top level of the Ming Dynasty, he is qualified not to choose a team for the time being.
On an unknown hill, Pei Xuanjing stood on it, his hands behind his back, facing the cool autumn wind, his clothes rustling.
He looked far into the distance, taking in the entire Xuanfu City, feeling like he could see the whole world at a glance.
"Grandmaster Pei!"
Jiang Bin rarely changed into regular clothes. He climbed up the mountain and came behind Pei Xuanjing.
Lin Qingyi led some royal guards, also dressed in regular clothes, to guard them hundreds of feet away from the two of them.
"Why is Mr. Jiang so outspoken? Just call him as usual." Pei Xuanjing said lightly, then he turned around and said loudly: "I have never seen such a great mountain and river, so magnificent. It's difficult for a while To extricate myself is to neglect Mr. Jiang. "
"In this case, Brother Pei will not call Mr. Jiang any more. If you don't mind me, you and I will treat you as brothers. "Jiang Bin said with a smile. Pei Xuanjing laughed: "Brother Jiang."
A trace of joy flashed in Jiang Bin's eyes, and he sighed: "Brother Pei's words are serious, how can there be any neglect. It is as it should be to be a little immersed in such a beautiful scenery."
He took a few steps forward, and the two stood side by side, facing the autumn wind and looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers.
"Brother Jiang invited me today, I don't know what it is about." Pei Xuanjing looked into the distance and spoke calmly.
Originally, he was practicing in the mansion, but he received a message from Lin Qingyi, Jiang Bin invited him to meet.
And he was not in Xuanfu City, but on this unknown hill.
Pei Xuanjing thought that after receiving so many benefits from others, he could not immediately turn his back on the person, so he agreed to the invitation.
Jiang Bin waved his hand, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is not urgent. Brother, take a look at this thing first."
Pei Xuanjing was confused, but he took it easy. He took the letter and started reading.
After a while, a hint of coldness appeared on the corner of Pei Xuanjing's mouth, and murderous intent appeared on his body, but it passed away in an instant.
"It turned out to be him, I really didn't expect it. Did you get this from the people of Yinsi?" He asked with a surprised tone.
The news on this letter is none other than clues about Pei Xuanjing’s assassination and the emperor’s assassination not long ago.
Judging from the clues Jiang Bin obtained, the man behind the scenes pointed to was none other than a big shot in the Jinyiwei, Jiang Bin's immediate boss, the emperor's confidant, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Qian Ning.
Even if it is known that someone in Jinyiwei is colluding with the Yinsi Maitreya Cult, that person is still in a high position of authority. But no one expected that the other party would be Qian Ning.
Jiang Bin nodded and said: "Besides this, there is also news coming back from the dark ones in the Maitreya Sect."
When he first received the news, Jiang Bin was even more shocked than Pei Xuanjing.
Although the two were rivals, they were both close confidants of the emperor. He never expected that Qian Ning would dare to do such a thing.
Hearing Jiang Bin's words, Pei Xuan nodded in agreement.
With the power of Jinyiwei, how could it not penetrate into forces like Maitreya Sect?
What he didn't know was that because of this news, Jin Yiwei's hidden secrets suffered heavy losses, and the secret secrets they had buried were almost uprooted by the Maitreya Cult.
But being able to get such important news was worth every penny for Jiang Bin.
"Does Brother Jiang have any concerns?" Pei Xuanjing asked in confusion.
In his opinion, since the identity of the other party has been determined, all he needs to do next is to follow the clues.
As far as Jiang Bin's identity is concerned, as long as he delivers these things to the emperor, even if he cannot convict the other party immediately, it is enough to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart.
Other officials may have concerns, but for factory guards and other retainers of the emperor, everything they rely on is the emperor's trust. If they lose the emperor's trust, there will be nothing.
Jiang Bin smiled bitterly: "Things are not that simple."
