Chapter 239: Going to the Hongmen Banquet
After handing over the letter to his subordinates and letting him deliver it to the city lord through the original way, Duan Bailan went to Liu Nianru, who was telling Yao Jing and them how to train in the courtyard.
Called Liu Nianru over, and roughly told Liu Nianru about the letter from the emperor, Duan Bailan meant that the plan would be calculated, but Liu Nianru disagreed, she wanted to solve the city lord directly with one knife, how easy it would be.
Duan Bailan raised his forehead and slowly analyzed the benefits and disadvantages for Liu Nianru, after all, that person was the city lord of Yaocheng, what would happen if he was killed, and what would be the consequences.
It took a long time for Liu Nianru to dispel this idea. Duan Bailan took a deep breath, it was indeed not easy to make Liu Nianru change her mind.
Then he discussed the next plan with Liu Nianru, and after finalizing the details, Liu Nianru continued to find Yao Jing.
Because Yao Jing and these people became monks halfway, they didn't do very well in many places, and even if they made a tailor-made plan, they didn't do it standardly.
Liu Nianru was fortunate enough to watch them train once, but she couldn't bear it anymore, so she decided to teach Yao Jing and the gang in person, and be sure to ask them to do every move in place before they would give up.
When I finally returned to the room after practicing, I met the city lord and said that he would take the wind and wash the dust for them tomorrow and invite them, Liu Nianru responded with a smile, but she was sneering in her heart.
What about the wind and dust? Why haven't I seen you set up a banquet before? I feel distressed to death with a little of your medicinal materials, and now I feel relieved when I receive the emperor's order, and I deliberately make a guillotine banquet, right?
Looking at the back of the city lord leaving, Liu Nianru's eyes were full of disdain.
Later, the city lord sent someone to send a road map, and it was clearly arranged wherever he went, Liu Nianru sneered, isn't this for fear that others won't know that you have a conspiracy?
The place where the lord of the city held the banquet was at the east gate of Yaocheng, where there was a restaurant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was famous far and wide. The place chosen is good, it is said that it is also the industry of Ziwei Pavilion, and it should have always been afraid that things will not work out, in case they will be held accountable by Duan Bailan. It can only be said that although this city lord is not a good person, the place he chose is still very good.
"Any thoughts?" Liu Nianru came to Duan Bailan's room and got straight to the point.
"Sit." Duan Bailan invited Liu Nianru to sit down, brought her a cup of tea, and then said, "I think so, there will definitely be assassins on the road tomorrow, I just pretend to be injured, I guess we may be driven out of Yaocheng later, don't act rashly." ”
Saying that, Duan Bailan glanced at Liu Nianru, for fear that this girl would not be able to help but go up to solve the city lord when the time came.
Seeing Liu Nianru nodding, Duan Bailan continued, "We can spread public opinion later......
"At that time, Yaocheng will become our people, and it is convenient to use Yaocheng as a supply station." Liu Nianru said with a smile, Duan Bailan really had a good plan, but just letting go of the city lord like this, Liu Nianru was inevitably a little unhappy.
"Otherwise, when the time comes, you can bring the city lord to the army and let him be a man."
Hearing this, Duan Bailan lowered his head and thought for a while, it is indeed possible, if he is just let him go, maybe something will happen, the enemy is still there
I look better under my nose. Although this enemy may be a bit stupid.
"Alright, go to bed early, there's still a battle to be fought tomorrow." Duan Bailan said.
So Liu Nianru walked out of Duan Bailan's door and went back to her room to sleep, tomorrow is destined to be an extraordinary day.
On the second day, a light rain fell in the sky, wetting every brick and tile in Yaocheng, but the banquet was still to be held, and it was set for noon today.
In order to lower the vigilance of the city lord and facilitate future plans, Duan Bailan only brought three people to go, and took Liu Nianru and a total of five people to walk on the road planned by the city lord for them.
Liu Nianru was secretly vigilant, ready to guard against assassins who rushed out from where.
Halfway through the road, Liu Nianru looked at the corner in front of her, which was a good place for an ambush, and gave Duan Bailan a look, Duan Bailan nodded clearly.
Sure enough, in a dark alley.
Duan Bailan was surrounded by a group of black-clothed people, and there was no way to retreat.
The man in black didn't talk much nonsense, he just raised his sword, and they had only one goal, to kill Duan Bailan.
The weapons collided together, making a thunderclapping sound, and the battle was fierce.
Then, Duan Bailan pretended to buy a flaw for his opponent, and the man hit the sword to see the blood spilling from the corner of Duan Bailan's mouth, and immediately glanced at each other, and retreated.
I have to say that Duan Bailan's preparations are indeed complete, I don't know where to get a blood bag to bring on herself, just sprayed that mouthful of blood and saw Liu Nianru trembling, if she didn't know that this was Duan Bailan's pretend, she might really rush to the city lord to take revenge.
Do a full set of plays.
Liu Nianru and the others secretly transported Duan Bailan out of the city and arranged it in a camp outside the city. Duan Bailan brought too many people, and one Yaocheng couldn't accommodate it, so only a few hundred people followed into Yaocheng that day, and more people were still guarding the camp outside the city. Waiting for Duan Bailan's next step with peace of mind.
Liu Nianru also got a little blood on herself, and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she and the City Lord still had a rivalry to play, and only by making the City Lord really believe that Duan Bailan was dead, they could make the next plan.
The city lord has returned to his house, and he looks in a good mood, and what he doesn't want to greet him is a cold long sword.
Liu Nianru put a sword on the city lord's neck, her face was cold, "Say, is it the person you arranged?" ”
The city lord was so frightened that his legs trembled, but he still forced himself to say, "Woman, what are you talking about?" I don't know anything. ”
Liu Nianru snorted coldly and withdrew her sword, "It's better not you." You should know what the crime of murdering a prince is. ”
The city lord responded again and again, but he also confirmed Duan Bailan's death in his heart, and sent a letter to the imperial capital that night, and asked how to deal with Liu Nianru and these people by the way, to be honest, he really didn't dare to do anything, after all, these people were all trained on the battlefield, what should I do if I accidentally lost my life?
At night, Liu Nianru secretly went out of the city and told Duan Bailan that the city lord had taken the bait, and asked him to prepare the next plan.
took advantage of the night to return to the city lord's mansion.
Imperial Palace.
The emperor held the letter from the distant Yaocheng, and his face was uncontrollable joy. Duan Bailan is finally dead, and there is no need to worry about this person posing a threat to his throne.
The emperor was in a good mood today, and even the little eunuch who put up the lamp in the hall was pleasant.
It's just that...... The city lord of Yaocheng asked what to do with Liu Nianru and them, and the emperor smiled and ordered someone to prepare a pen and paper.
