Geheimagent Wind Boy - Kapitel 46
Later, Fu Jin finally calmed down, and everyone had almost finished eating.
Looking at the time, it was already past 1-3 PM.
After the meal, everyone moved to Minglu's study to discuss the main topic, which was naturally the specific details of how to wipe out the mountain bandits.
Minglu's study was bright and tidy, which was certainly not his doing. However, on his desk sat a pot of blooming white lily of the valley. The white flowers drooped down, spotless and pure, giving the entire study a fresh and natural feel. Xi Ri had been examining the lily of the valley on the desk, finding it hard to believe that it was Minglu's preference. Just as she was wondering which lady had been so thoughtful, Minglu smiled and said, "Brother Yu also likes lily of the valley?"
Xi Ri snapped out of her reverie and replied with a smile, "No, it's just that I noticed Prince Ming seems to really like it; even the embroidery on his clothes features lily of the valley patterns."
Minglu said, "Brother Yu is indeed thoughtful. I do indeed prefer lily of the valley."
Fu Jin's voice was still slightly hoarse as he said, "Let's not talk about those trivial matters. Minglu, please tell Yu Di our plan. Yu Di is the main character, but right now he's the only one who doesn't know the whole plan."
Minglu nodded and sat down behind the desk. Nalan sat to the left, Fu Jin sat to the right, and Xiri sat next to Fu Jin.
After the maids served them tea, they withdrew one by one, closed the door, and left only the four of them in the room.
One day, I lifted the lid of the teacup, carefully blew on it, and spat lightly.
Minglu then spoke, saying, "Brother Yu, the details are as follows..."
According to Minglu, Xi'en has already made arrangements at Daluo Mountain. The group will also set off early tomorrow morning to settle in Qiong County near Daluo Mountain for convenience.
In fact, they had been planning to wipe out the mountain bandits for nearly a year, but progress had not been smooth.
However, just a month ago, by chance, Xi En found a man who looked almost exactly like Zhang Guiyi, the second-in-command of Da Luo Mountain. This man was named Chen Xi, a new recruit. Although he looked younger than Zhang Guiyi, he was so similar that even Xi En mistook him for Zhang Guiyi at first glance and ordered his men to tie him up, almost getting him beaten to death.
It was later discovered that this man's ancestral home was in Shandong. He grew up in a small village near the capital. He was fatherless from a young age and was raised by his mother. His family was extremely poor. Later, his mother fell ill from exhaustion and her condition did not improve for several years. She passed away before the new year. In order to bury his mother, he borrowed a lot of money from his neighbors. Later, in order to pay off his debts and earn a living, he joined the army.
Chen happy's family affairs were clean; he didn't even know who Zhang Guiyi was. He was also quite clever; otherwise, in those days, it wouldn't have been so easy for a poor boy like him to join the army.
However, this was indeed an opportunity. At that time, Xi En told Ming Lu about the whole thing, and Ming Lu also felt that they could make use of it. For more than half a year, although some spies had infiltrated the bandits' lair, they had not been able to get in touch with the core. They had not been able to find out the topographical map and layout of the bandits' lair.
This matter can indeed be taken advantage of.
They devised a plan: on the one hand, they would send people to intensify Chen happy's training; on the other hand, they would have to lure out the real Zhang Guiyi.
However, a month has passed and Zhang Guiyi has still not been caught. Zhang Guiyi is shrewd and cunning, and he must have heard some rumors by now. He rarely goes down the mountain, except for the occasional trip down to have some fun.
Xiao Xiangmei's plan has failed; it's clear that Zhang Guiyi didn't fancy her.
Time is of the essence, and almost all preparations have been made. Everything is ready except for the final push.
If Chen happy can successfully impersonate Zhang Guiyi and infiltrate the bandits, he can not only obtain their terrain map and internal layout, but also coordinate an attack from the outside, which would be very beneficial for Xi En's attack on the stronghold.
And now, that favorable wind is her—Li Yu.
Why was Li Yu chosen? And why did he become the most crucial element of Dongfeng?
The main reason is Li Yu's beauty, her unique beauty.
According to their investigation, Zhang Guiyi, the second-in-command of the Da Luo Mountain bandits, had a penchant for men, especially those with feminine features. He also had a bizarre quirk: while he liked men, he also had his male concubines dress as women. We won't go into just how perverse he was, but the main purpose of using Li Yu was to lure him out and capture him. Then, they would have a fake Zhang Guiyi, Chen Xi, impersonate him and infiltrate the mountain stronghold.
So how exactly do we use Li Yu to lure out Zhang Guiyi?
Before Minglu could speak, Fu Jin, who was standing to the side, interrupted him.
It turns out that this plan was actually Fu Jin's idea. Fu Jin was extremely proud of it, saying that it would be a magnificent event that would never be seen before or since.
However, after listening to Fu Jin's enthusiastic, animated, and vivid account of the entire plan, Xi Ri couldn't help but be completely speechless!
Fu Jin's plan is to use a match to lure out Zhang Guiyi.
It may not sound like much, but the important thing is the content of the competition!
What exactly was the content of the competition? It left even Tian Xiri, who always enjoys strange and unusual things, completely dumbfounded.
Therefore, this content must be even stranger than the bizarre, even more shocking than the outrageous, and even more utterly astonishing than the utterly ridiculous.
In fact, Fu Jin didn't say anything special, but he kept going on and on, talking excitedly: They will hold a cross-dressing competition to select the most handsome man in the world!
First of all, the content of this competition alone would certainly be very attractive to Zhang Guiyi.
Secondly, all the handsome men and famous male actors in the country will be invited to participate in the competition. If Zhang Guiyi is not tempted, then he must have been struck by lightning and gone mad, or God must have been merciful and made him change his gender overnight.
Furthermore, they had already created a buzz around Li Yu, spreading the word about how handsome and otherworldly he was! At this very moment, his portrait had spread throughout Qiong County, and it was said that one of his portraits was being sold for a thousand taels of silver! This was all to solidify his position as the most handsome man in the world.
It is said that at this time, the total amount wagered on Li Yu to win has reached tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Li Yu is the most favored.
I've heard that all the inns in Qiong County at the foot of Mount Daluo are now fully booked, and even the houses of ordinary residents have been taken. This is not only for those who have come to participate in the competition, but also for many who have come to watch the excitement. Naturally, there are also many spies that Xi En has already arranged.
In Fu Jin's words, this will be a magnificent event that is unprecedented and will never be repeated!
It was absolutely brilliant, so brilliant that Xi Ri's face turned pale at that moment.
She was originally a woman disguised as a man, but now she's going to be a man disguised as a woman! What's wrong with this world? How has it become so crazy?
She couldn't understand it, she just couldn't understand it at all. Suddenly, she really wanted to run away, to disappear without a trace, and never appear in front of these lunatics again.
Fu Jin was talking excitedly, going on and on, even describing in detail how many male entertainers he had invited, some of whom were the most famous in the world. He even went so far as to dig out the hidden mistresses of many ministers. Just as he was getting into the swing of things, Nalan finally interrupted him, saying, "Fu Jin, that's enough. If you keep going, Yu Di will probably be scared away."
Fu Jin then noticed that Xi Ri's expression was quite off. Suppressing his excitement, he waved his hand and said, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore." He plopped down in a chair and took a big gulp of tea.
Minglu stared at Xiri and asked, "Brother Yu, do you have any more questions?"
Xi Ri avoided his gaze and said softly, "Why does it have to be me? Since so many famous handsome men have come, why do we still need me?"
Minglu's gaze darkened. He said, "Because Zhang Guiyi is far too cunning. Although he is the second-in-command of Mount Daluo, he is the de facto leader. While we are confident we can lure him out with these male performers gathered here, it will be difficult for us to recognize him if he disguises himself. Just in case, we must identify the true protagonist, the ultimate number one handsome man in the world, which is you. Only in this way will Zhang Guiyi's target be you. As long as we lock onto you, we can find Zhang Guiyi's trail. We don't need to alert anyone else; we can capture Zhang Guiyi in one fell swoop!"
