Chapter 279: On the Eve of the Assassination
"Yuwenzhi?" Hearing the name of the enemy, Gao Yuan immediately came to his senses, and the humiliating scenes of being persecuted by Yu Wenzhi in the past also surfaced.
"That's right! It's Yuwenzhi! To tell the truth, the reason why we can achieve what we are today is actually thanks to the persecution of us by Yu Wenzhi in Gangneung back then! As the saying goes, if you have revenge, you don't want to revenge, but if you don't take revenge, since God arranged for me to come to Chang'an City, you want me to avenge this revenge! Xiao Yao said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"That's great! How is the young master going to deal with this Yuwenzhi? Gao Yuan asked excitedly.
"Chang'an City is Yu Wenzhi's territory, and he is also the commander of the palace forbidden army, and there is a large number of guards to protect him when he enters and exits, so we can only outwit Yu Wenzhi this time! Also, why did it take so long for you to come to Chang'an City, it's been almost three months! What trouble is going on in Jinling? Xiao Yao asked puzzled.
"The young master doesn't know, since the news of the young master's disappearance came back to Jinling, the entire Chen country was shocked, and the prince also took the opportunity to attack us!" Gao Yuan said indignantly.
"Hmph, I was invincible on the Huainan battlefield before, and it is estimated that Chen Shuling's faction is overwhelmed by Chen Shubao! As a result, I was suddenly defeated and disappeared, which is a golden opportunity for them, and of course they must seize the opportunity to take action against General Comptoir! What trick did Chen Shubao do to us? How did Zu Yuan deal with it? Xiao Yao asked with a sneer.
"Chen Shubao can be said to be an all-out attack on us, first on the side of the General Sugar Mill, they used various excuses to prohibit the sugarcane purchased by the ancestor from the south to be transported back to the General Sugar Mill in Jinling, and even slandered us for stationing a large number of guards in the iron workshop outside Jinling City, and there was a suspicion of supporting the army and plotting against him; then used the means of officialdom to collude with Jinling Mansion Yin, under the pretext that there were criminals harboring in the general casino, and then sent someone to seize the general casino; Even they coveted Miss Song's Beauty Workshop, and privately used all kinds of small actions that could not be put on the table, looking for trouble in various industries under the name of General Commercial Bank everywhere! They even sent someone to threaten Boss Zu, asking him to sell the General Merchant Bank to Yinhai Firm! Gao Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"Chen Shubao's appetite is so big? Want my general comptoir? What about Chen Shuling? He is the nominal boss of the General Firm, could he just watch Chen Shubao take action against the General Firm? Xiao Yao still asked with a sneer.
"This Chen Shuling, now I guess I'm a little crying and laughing! Because of the great victory of Chen Guo's Northern Expedition last year, although the young master was suddenly defeated by Gao Changgong, Chen Guo has already achieved the goal of winning Huainan, so Chen Xu Long Yan Dayue rewarded the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty with a big promotion! I don't know if Chen Shubao played some small tricks in front of Chen Xu, Chen Xu also promoted Chen Shuling to the official and rewarded him! Promote him to the military of the four prefectures of Xiang, Heng, Gui, and Wu, the general of Pingnan and the assassin of Xiangzhou! The last Xiangzhou assassin Shi suddenly transferred Chen Shuling out of Jiangzhou! Gao Yuan said with a frown.
"Chen Shuling was transferred? Hehe, their plan is quite thorough, first transfer Chen Shuling from Jiangzhou to Xiangzhou, and then suddenly attack us, which caught us off guard! Chen Shuling couldn't help, so how did Zu Yuan deal with it? Xiao Yao asked calmly.
"Boss Zu gave them a trick to break the boat! Boss Zu first let the sugar mill stop production, and then transported all the inventory away in advance and sold it to Zhou and Qi, resulting in not a single grain of sugar for sale in the entire Jinling this year, not even in the palace! And the same is true of Miss Song's Beauty Workshop, Miss Song used the excuse of being ill and had no intention of operating, so she directly closed the Beauty Workshop, and the perfume and soap that swept the wealthy and aristocratic families were immediately discontinued! Young master, you don't know, since Boss Zu stopped these workshops, not only the people in the entire Jinling have no taste or smell, but also those rich gamblers have complained because they can't enter the general casino to enjoy, and even Chen Xu has been alarmed! Gao Yuan smiled.
"Zu Yuan is still very smart! Knowing that these products of ours have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and become indispensable things in the daily life of the people, if they are suddenly discontinued, it will definitely cause a great sensation! Xiao Yao also nodded and laughed.
"Boss Zu also made a trick to borrow flowers to worship the Buddha! When the year before last, when the typhoon disaster was rescued, Boss Zu had seen Chen Xu, so this time, because many products of General Commercial Bank were suddenly discontinued, Chen Xu also personally asked, so Boss Zu got the opportunity to meet him! Then in front of Chen Xu, Boss Zu dedicated ninety percent of the profits of General Commercial Bank to Chen Xu! And because of the Northern Expedition of Qi State, Chen Guo's treasury was already a little empty, so when he heard that Boss Zu voluntarily sent ninety percent of the profits of the General Commercial Bank to the treasury, Chen Xu was very happy, and in this way, Chen Shubao's methods for the General Commercial Bank became ineffective, and the General Casino could be reopened immediately! I heard that Chen Xu even became angry with Chen Shubao, saying that he had harmed the interests of the country for his own selfish interests, and if the general trading bank was closed for a month, then how much silver would he lose in the income he donated to the country! Gao Yuan smiled even more happily.
"Haha! This ancestral circle is really bad, but I like it! Knowing that the transfer contradiction, Chen Shubao is the crown prince, and only Chen Xu can snatch the things he likes in Chen Guo, and Chen Shuling has lost his position a little, so he gave his share to Chen Xu, in exchange for Chen Xu's favor to him, I believe he is also very happy! Zu Yuan's impromptu response this time is very witty, and after I go back, I must remember Zu Yuan's great achievements! Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Because Chen Shuling was transferred out of Jiangzhou, the person who succeeded him as the Jiangzhou Assassin was Chen Shujian, the fourth son of Chen Xu, because this Chen Shujian was on the side of the prince's camp, he was appointed as the Jiangzhou Assassin and would definitely take action against us, so Master and Brother Li An also decided to stop most of the work in the Jiangzhou Iron Workshop, so as not to be used by them to make trouble for us under any excuse!" Gao Yuan briefly reported to Xiao Yao the general situation on Chen Guo's side.
"It turned out that in less than four months, so many things happened because of my disappearance, although it didn't put us to death, but it was constantly troublesome, and it was indeed irritating! It's been a hard time! However, I just lost a battle, and I have been missing for a few months, and the political situation of Chen Guo has undergone such a big change, which also shows that my status and influence in Chen Guo are also getting bigger and bigger! When I get back, I'll be sure to pay them back twice as much! Xiao Yao said fiercely.
"When the Chen Jian brother of the beggar gang came to Jinling City and brought the news of the young master to Boss Zu, Boss Zu knew that the young master would not follow him back to Jinling, and there must be important things to do to stay in Chang'an alone, and the stakes were very high, so Boss Zu personally took Brother Jiang Shun and this Brother Chen Jian to Jiangzhou, found me, and discussed countermeasures! For the sake of secrecy, only the two brothers of Boss Zu and the beggar gang, as well as me and Master, and Brother Li An's father and son, the seven of them know! Boss Zu didn't even tell Miss Song about them! Gao Yuan said cautiously.
"It doesn't matter, we do need to be cautious during this time! And I stayed in Chang'an City to help Emperor Yu Wenyong of Zhou State assassinate Yu Wenhu and Yu Wenzhi, father and son, this matter must also be secretly operated, the less people know about it, the better! That's why I ordered Chen Jian to inform you that you should only let you come to Chang'an City alone! Xiao Yao nodded and said. Let's read books
"I'm sorry, young master! Although I came to Chang'an City this time, the young master ordered that only I need to come alone, but for the safety of the young master, I still brought the special forces out, along the way, we all turned into various identities, and then divided more than 100 people into several teams, and stayed in different places to wait for us! Now I am the only one who has followed Brother Chen Jian into Chang'an City, but there is still a team of more than ten people outside the city, and I can wait for the dispatch of the young master at any time! Gao Yuan said a little embarrassed.
"They're here too? Didn't get anyone else's attention, right? My forward brigade has been crippled by Gao Changgong, and it will take time to rebuild, so this special force is now the most important weapon in our hands, and it is the capital of our comeback, so there can be no mistakes! Xiao Yao said nervously.
"Young master, please rest assured, this special force has been hidden in the guards in Jiangzhou before, and this time, because Chen Shujian is going to Jiangzhou to take office, we want to show weakness to the enemy, so we deliberately cut off some of the guards, so this special force left Jiangzhou unconsciously! And on the way to Chang'an City, we all dressed up as fleeing people, beggars and various identities, and then set off in batches, staying in various strongholds on the way from Jinling to Chang'an in batches, and absolutely no one would notice us! Gao Yuan said affirmatively.
"Good! Now that they're here, our plan to assassinate Yu Wenzhi is even more certain! I've already thought of a way to ambush Yuwenzhi! Gao Yuan, did you come to Chang'an City this time to bring weapons and ammunition? When my revolver escaped Gao Changgong's pursuit, there was only one bullet left! Xiao Yao asked.
"Yes! But because we are disguised as beggars, we should not bring too many of these yellow bullets, so as not to misunderstand, so I brought these fifty bullets for the young master! And in order not to attract the attention of others, we only brought muskets, as for artillery, bombs and the like, we did not bring any! Gao Yuan said a little guiltily.
"Fifty rounds is enough! And we also have a dozen helpers, with muskets in hand, a dozen of us are enough to fight a guard of thousands of people! And to solve Yu Wenzhi, we only need one bullet is enough, however, Yu Wenzhi, as the commander of the palace forbidden army, will definitely bring a personal guard with him when he enters and exits, so for the sake of insurance, we still have to be more prepared! Xiao Yao said with a confident smile.
"The young master is so confident, then this assassination plan will definitely succeed! We will definitely be able to kill Yu Wenzhi and avenge the one-shot revenge in Gangneung that year! Gao Yuan also said excitedly.
。。。。。。
"Is Master Sanzang serious? When Yuwenhu comes back from Tongzhou, that's when we do it? Yu Wenzhi finally heard Xiao Yao's decision to make a move, and said a little excitedly, but immediately became nervous, and asked a little responsibly: "Does the master already have a complete plan?" I believe that when Yuwenhu comes back from the inspection of Tongzhou, it is not only when we do it to him, but also when he does it to us! Success or failure is here! ”
"Your Royal Highness, please rest assured! The little monk already has a thorough plan to deal with Yuwenzhi, and the little monk is sure to lure Yuwenzhi out of the palace alone, so during this time, we always keep track of Yuwenhu's every move, and when he returns to Chang'an, His Majesty and His Royal Highness Guogong will find a reason to trick him into the palace and find an opportunity to assassinate Yuwenhu! Xiao Yao nodded and said.
"I have also discussed with Your Majesty, during this time, Yuwenhu killed so many people and did not dare to stand up against him, it will definitely make him feel that the victory is in his hands, which will lead to taking it lightly and relaxing his guard, we can find a reason casually at that time, for example, the Queen Mother has been drinking a lot recently because of her upset, and wants to invite him into the palace to persuade the Queen Mother to drink, plus the palace forbidden army is led by his son, then he will definitely enter the palace without hesitation! At this time, the master must lure Yu Wenzhi out of the palace in time, otherwise where is Yu Wenzhi in the forbidden army, I believe that even His Majesty will not be able to control this forbidden army, then if we make a rash move, we will wait for Yu Wenzhi to avenge his father in the name of bloodbathing the palace! Yuwenzhi said nervously.
"Don't worry, the little monk will definitely lure Yuwenzhi out of the palace in time, and then you can let the princess follow Yuwenzhi, as soon as Yuwenzhi leaves the palace, the princess will go to inform you, so that you can immediately attack Yuwenhu, and then rely on the majesty of Your Majesty to control the leaderless forbidden army, so that Your Majesty can clean up those close henchmen of Yuwenhu one by one?" Xiao Yao said confidently.
"Is the master really sure that he will lure Yuwenzhi out of the palace?" Yu Wenzhi still asked uneasily.
"Yes! As for the reason, after all, the stakes are very high, so it is not convenient to tell His Royal Highness Guogong now, but please tell His Royal Highness Guogong, please be sure to believe the little monk! And in case there is any unexpected situation, the little monk will also make some secret weapons and give them to Her Royal Highness the princess, and he will definitely be able to put Yuwenhu to death at that time! Xiao Yao nodded and said.
"Secret weapon?" Yuwen asked puzzled.
"Please don't be suspicious, Your Highness! In short, on Yu Wenzhi's side, the little monk will deal with him, and the princess will also assist the little monk! However, His Majesty's side must plan carefully, and when Yuwenhu dies, he must control the court situation in time, and he must be thunderous and decisive to clean up all those who oppose it, so that he can smoothly receive power and ensure that there will be no turmoil in the Zhou dynasty! Xiao Yao instructed.
"Good! Since the master is so confident, then naturally there can be no mistakes on our side! When the time comes, after we successfully kill Yuwenhu, Your Majesty will definitely reward the master! Yuwen encouraged Xiao Yao and said cheering for himself.
