A sudden assassination made the atmosphere in the carriage solemn.
The three women did not disturb Yun Zheng, and were also wondering who did it.
Being able to train such loyal warriors, it must be said that the mastermind behind the scenes is quite powerful.
Yun Zheng leaned against the carriage, his mind racing.
The first thing that came to his mind was that these people were most likely sent by the third brother.
If I died, the one who would be the happiest would naturally be the third brother.
However, it is basically known to everyone that the third brother wants to kill himself.
It seems unnecessary for these people to keep secrets so tightly, right?
Could it be that they wanted to leave me without any evidence so that I wouldn't have to cause trouble for the third brother?
If the third brother is excluded, there are still many people who want to kill him.
...
...
Which of those brothers in the imperial city doesn't want his life?
Once he died, the Northern Army would likely be in chaos, and those loyal to him would even lead their troops directly into war with the imperial court to seek justice for him.
When it comes to that point, all the hard work will be in chaos.
In this way, people like the second and fourth brothers will have a chance.
As for the father that Miaoyin suspected, although Yun Zheng was unwilling to admit it, it was indeed possible.
Even after Beihuan was pacified, his existence as the governor of Shuobei would always be a threat to the imperial court.
Emperor Wen did have the motive to send someone to assassinate him.
The most ruthless is the imperial family!
However, in the absence of direct evidence, he would rather believe that this matter had nothing to do with Emperor Wen.
After thinking hard for a long time, Yun Zheng was still unable to lock on the target of suspicion.
Yun Zheng shook his head to clear away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Seeing the three women all looked solemn, Yun Zheng immediately forced out a smile, "Alright, stop overthinking, it's not a big deal! Since I dare to command troops and command my own troops, I must be prepared to be assassinated!"
“This is not a question of enlightenment or not.”
Chen Luoyan raised her eyes slightly, "We don't even know who is behind this. We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark! After what they did today, we have to be on guard all the time in the future..."
It doesn't feel good to be on guard against enemies all the time.
If we knew who was behind this, we could make an example of him.
But right now, they don't even know which chicken to kill.
"No problem."
Yun Zheng didn't care. "Anyway, there are only a few people who are most suspicious."
"Right! Before you have evidence, don't let your imagination run wild, lest it affect your judgment." Ye Zi raised her eyes, frowned and asked Yun Zheng: "Do you want to give Zuo Ren a warning?"
Zuo Ren was the commander of Beilu Pass.
Zuo Ren didn't even notice these assassins entering Shuobei.
I don’t know whether these people hid too well or Zuo Ren was a little slack.
Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "We can give them a little push! However, these people may not have entered Shuobei through Beilu Pass. With so few of them, it is not difficult for them to cross mountains and ridges and sneak into Shuobei."
The east-west mountains of Beiluguan are not out of reach.
With just over a dozen people, and without the need to carry much supplies, it was very easy to cross the mountains and enter Shuobei.
To criticize Zuo Ren is not to blame him, but to make him more vigilant.
"That's true."
Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, "It seems that we have to be more vigilant! If Miaoyin hadn't seen through these people today, even if a few of us were fine, our people would have suffered more casualties."
These dozen or so assassins are quite capable.
Even though they were prepared in advance, there were still casualties.
But without finding out the identities of these people, we can't just shoot them indiscriminately, right?
Such an assassin is really hard to guard against!
They can't stay in the palace every day without going out, right?
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment, then asked Ye Zi: "How many secret agents are there now?"
"Just about two hundred people." Ye Zi replied.
About two hundred people?
That's a bit less indeed.
Yun Zheng thought about it, and then said to Shen Luoyan: "Select 50 smart ones from these 200+ secret agents. I want them!"
"Okay!" Shen Luoyan agreed immediately, and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to send them inside the pass!"
A cold light flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes.
He didn't want to get involved in what was happening inside the pass, but since someone is restless, come on!
He wanted to use these fifty people as a framework to build a huge intelligence organization to collect intelligence inside the country.
If possible, he even hoped that these people could infiltrate the palace!
After learning of Yun Zheng’s thoughts, the three women didn’t say much.
Afterwards, Yun Zheng asked Miao Yin again, "Do you know a lot about the Jianghu?"
“Not that I know him very well.”
Miaoyin shook her head and said, "It's just because my master was also a martial artist in her early years, so I heard some of it from her! But my master later retired and she no longer asked about the affairs of the martial arts world, and she also didn't let Mingyue and I get involved in those things..."
As she spoke, Miaoyin told Yun Zheng about what she knew about the situation in the martial arts world.
The world she knew was actually made up of all kinds of people.
These people are not all masters.
On the contrary, a large number of them are actually small thugs who have no respect for the law, and there are also some petty thieves.
There are actually only a very small number of people who are truly capable.
Among those so-called people in the martial arts world, there are indeed some who are chivalrous and righteous, but they are also very few.
In the eyes of most people in the underworld, there is not much morality to speak of, and interests are basically the top priority.
Many people in the underworld depend on the powerful and wealthy and become their minions.
There are also some people in the underworld who are willing to work for anyone who pays them. As long as you give them money, they will not show mercy even if you ask them to kill babies.
There are sects and various small groups in this world.
As for things like upholding justice, that is not something people in the underworld care about.
In other words, it is not something that most people in the world care about.
In her master's words, this world is full of intrigue, cunning, and bullying...
Among those so-called people in the martial arts world, you may not be able to find a master among a hundred people, and you may not be able to find a truly chivalrous person among a thousand people.
The so-called Jianghu is nothing more than an interest group outside the temple.
She and Mingyue's master had personally experienced betrayal and selling out, so they decided to retire.
After hearing Miaoyin's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.
This world is quite different from what he imagined!
He also wants to recruit people from all walks of life!
Now it seems that I need to think about it carefully.
Instead of recruiting people from the underworld, it is better to send people to develop a force in the underworld yourself!
Well, let’s do it!
Soon, Yun Zheng had an idea in his mind.
After thinking for a while, Yun Zheng opened the curtain and called Tong Gang, "Return to Dingbei and immediately spread the news that I was assassinated on the way back from Luoxia Mountain. I don't know whether I am alive or dead..."
