Su Shanyun returned to Su Mansion the next day, and on February 29, she boarded a boat back to the island city.

That night, Yan Jinxuan, the third prince and Du Chenghuan, the secretary of the military department, met in secret.

Du Chenghuan handed a letter to Yan Jinxuan.

"The specific arrangements have been written in the letter, and General Changda will know what to do after seeing the letter." Du Chenghuan said.

This was an operation that required a covert mobilization. For the sake of prudence, Du Chenghuan did not use the troops in the capital, but used the 50,000 led by General Changda. This is also a decision he made after some discussion with the three princes and Yan Jinxuan.

"Well, it will take about eight days to get from here to Anxi Province, and I will meet General Changda as soon as I get there." Yan Jinxuan said.

They had already made an appointment with General Chang Da to meet at the intersection where Yan Jinxuan passed, and after Yan Jinxuan handed over the letter to Chang Da, he would then go to Hamiwei. That was the end of his trip, and he accepted the task assigned by the emperor to investigate the Hami River and design a large dam.

In fact, this task was achieved by Yan Jinxuan's plan.

However, the emperor was also happy to build a large dam there to show his love for the people of the frontier.

From the capital to Hamiwei, it was necessary to pass through Anxi Province, where General Changda guarded all the year round, so Yan Jinxuan could meet with General Changda and forward their deployment plan through letters, so as to reach a cooperative relationship.

And Anxi Province belongs to the jurisdiction of the Ten Princes (Zhenwang), Yan Jinxuan had to have some scruples, so he couldn't meet General Changda openly.

They had already made it clear that they would not say a word when they met, and the letters were forwarded in the utmost secrecy.

"Be careful all the way!" The third prince said to Yan Jinxuan.

In order to distract Yan Shichong's attention. Yan Jinxuan deliberately applied to go to the field to carry out the mission at this time, so that Yan Shichong mistakenly thought that this was the best time for him to attack the third prince. At the same time, they sent people to closely monitor Yan Shichong's movements, hoping to catch him before he could make a move.

Although they knew that Yan Shichong would act within these fifteen days, they did not know which day it was, so Yan Jinxuan asked Wei Yuanting and Feng Zichao to closely monitor it.

And the three princes also sent Shen Wanquan to secretly connect with them.

"Cabinet scholar Gu Bing, Celebrant Supervisor Lu Gonggong, and Imperial Envoy Pang Dongdong are all people who hate the Yan Party to the core, you can take the opportunity to win them over." Yan Jinxuan said to the third prince again.

These three people were the people of the Sixth Prince, and the Sixth Princes were imprisoned because Yan Shichong went to the emperor to accuse him of rebellion, so they all hated Yan Shichong.

"But they hate you too." The third prince looked at Yan Jinxuan and said with a smile.

Because the friendship between the sixth prince and the fifth prince, the fourth prince, and the eighth prince was excellent, Yan Jinxuan's proposal to take back the military power of the vassal kings in various places seriously damaged the interests of these princes. So they naturally hate Yan Jinxuan.

But no matter what. When the emperor wanted to severely punish these princes who protected the six princes, Yan Jinxuan had come forward to intercede, so they were finally able to be punished lightly. Judging from this incident, their hostility towards him was somewhat reduced.

"There are more than one or two people who have offended." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.

The sea is tolerant and tolerant, for them who urgently need to expand their allies. You shouldn't be too concerned about personal grievances.

The third prince also laughed. Zheng nodded and said, "Okay." The king will get them over as soon as possible. ”

…………………

Yan Jinxuan began their journey to the frontier the next day with Long Qingyun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and twenty followers.

This is their second collaboration.

So get along well with each other.

Yan Jinxuan did not inform Long Qingyun of the other task of his trip, so Long Qingyun only knew that they were going to Hamiwei to investigate and design a large dam for the Hami River.

Due to the experience of being assassinated during the last time they went out on a mission, they brought twice as many followers this time.

From the capital to Hamiwei, you need to pass through five major provinces. And most of the roads are on the frontier, so the journey is extremely hard and dangerous.

At night, Yan Shichong and several of his right-hand men were sitting in the inner hall to discuss matters.

"My lord, their group has already traveled to the Zhangbei Dam in Beizhili." One man ran into the report quickly.

"It's not appropriate to act for the time being, and we will do it when they reach Helan Mountain." Yan Shichong said.

First, the place is sparsely populated and conducive to action. Second, it is far away from the capital and is not easy to expose. Thirdly, there is still some distance from the jurisdiction of the town king, so the town king will not be implicated.

"Yes." The visitor respectfully replied, and immediately withdrew after receiving the reward.

This time, Yan Shichong sent a hundred people with strong martial arts to Helan Mountain to ambush him, and gave a death order - Yan Jinxuan must be killed.

"Are you sure that the crown prince and the third prince will go to the temple fair on March 3rd?" Yan Shichong asked Zhang Jing again.

"Sure." Zhang Jing replied.

Yan Shichong immediately pointed to the map on the desktop and said to him: "Start from here, remember, don't hurt the prince's vital point, but you must not let the injury be too light." ”

"Understood."

"Bring them in." Yan Shichong said to his subordinates.

Soon two men were tied up and brought in.

These two people are all subordinates of the three princes, one is called Liu Yigan, and the other is called Tansing.

"On the evening of March 3, I started on the long slope at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Remember, make sure that the emperor and the third prince were also present at that time," Yan Shichong told them.

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

"Don't play tricks on me, your family is in my hands." Yan Shichong reminded with a sneer.

"Don't dare." Liu Yi said hurriedly.

"Go back and it's like nothing happened." Yan Shichong waved his hand.

"Yes." The two respectfully stepped back.

Not far from the Yan Mansion, they found that someone was following them.

However, they pretended not to know, and rode quickly towards the East Palace.

"Do you think they can be trusted, my lord?" After the two of them retreated, Zhang Jing asked Yan Shichong.

"Of course, it may not be credible, but their family is in my hands, and they have to work with me." Yan Shichong said.

In the evening, Liu Yigan and Tan sang passed the message to the three princes in the form of a note: On the evening of March 3, we will shoot the prince on the long slope at the entrance of the ancestral hall, but we will not hurt him.

The third prince smiled slightly after reading the note, and also replied in the form of a note: I know, then you will act according to his requirements.

The third prince knew that this was an action by Yan Shichong to blame him through this incident, in order to make the relationship between him and the crown prince worse.

In order to be able to hang Yan Shichong's big fish for a long time, he had to push the boat down the river to fulfill Yan Shichong's wish.

But in this way, the relationship between him and the prince really can't go back to the past.

It was a sacrifice he had to make. (To be continued......)
