Chapter 1572: Wang Mang's Serial Scheme
Ye Qingmei finally resisted the urge to make a move, and watched Wang Mang gradually leave.
People like Wang Mang dared to come alone, obviously with absolute certainty of saving their lives, but Ye Qingmei did not have the certainty of killing with one move.
What's more, Qin Hao regarded Wang Mang as a thorn in his side, and the great grandmaster failed to kill him, just relying on the power in Ye Qingmei's hand, I am afraid that he would not be able to hurt Wang Mang a single hair if he got in.
"Whew, finally gone."
As soon as Wang Mang walked with his front foot, Ye Qingmei sat down all of a slump, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Ye Qingmei faced Wang Mang, the originator of the traverser, although she was extremely relaxed on the surface, she was actually under a lot of pressure, but she finally carried it down.
"This is miserable, I was completely targeted by Wang Mang, don't think about being free in the future."
Ye Qingmei's face was bitter, although Wang Mang showed great generosity throughout the whole process, she didn't believe this kind of words that were obviously said by the villain, just like Wang Mang didn't believe her oath made by a woman.
The reason why Ye Qingmei rejected Wang Mang was mainly because she was dissatisfied with Wang Mang's behavior, after all, she knew that Wang Mang did not hesitate to lead Yuan Meng's iron cavalry south in order to fight Qin Hao.
Maybe En'en Wang Mang just wanted to use Yuanmeng at that time, but in the end he got away with it, and caused hundreds of thousands of Mongolian iron horses to be killed in the Hetao, if Qin Hao was not strong enough, I am afraid that the entire Central Plains would definitely be ruined.
Ye Qingmei is naturally extremely disgusted with Wang Mang's unscrupulous style of acting by means to achieve her goals, and she asks herself that although she can't reach the point of selflessness, she can't be as selfish as Wang Mang, treating everyone in the world as chess pieces and ants.
Ye Qingmei and Wang Mang are destined not to be all the way, so it is naturally impossible to go on the same path, so it is inevitable to reject him.
As for whether he will be an enemy in the future, this question does not lie with Ye Qingmei, but with Wang Mang.
If Wang Mang is aimed at Ye Qingmei or Gongsun Xuanyuan, then the two will definitely become enemies, if not, maybe ...... No, there is no such possibility at all.
Ye Qingmei can basically conclude that Wang Mang is definitely calculating the Liao Kingdom, and her brother-in-law Gongsun Xuanyuan is probably already at the center of the conspiracy.
"The eldest brother must be reminded to be wary of Wang Mang's conspiracy." Ye Qingmei said secretly in his heart.
On the other side, after Wang Mang returned, Ji Di and Zhang Anshi saw his gloomy expression, and knew that Wang Mang's trip must have failed.
"Let's start a backup plan." Wang Mang said coldly.
"But Gongsun Xuanyuan hasn't fallen to Qin Hao yet." Zhang Anshi said with some hesitation.
"As long as Gongsun Xuanyuan doesn't stand on our side, even if he remains neutral, he will still be our enemy."
Wang Mang's face was full of coldness, and he said coldly: "The position of the Liao State is too important, and it is impossible for us to let such an unstable factor go and continue to stay in the rear of our army. ”
"This ...... Understood, I'm going to prepare. ”
Looking at the departing Zhang Shi'an, a trace of gloom flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, there are still a lot of loyal ministers under Liu Che, Zhang Anshi and Ji Di are also Liu Che's henchmen, and they are destined to be unable to win them over.
When I replace the Northern Han, these people will become obstacles, so do you want to kill them here? Just used this as an excuse to target Gongsun Xuanyuan.
Wang Mang looked at Ji Di to the side, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, and then a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ji Di shivered inexplicably, and there was always a bad premonition in his heart.
"Wang Youxiang, what do you want to do......"
Before the words fell, Ji Di's eyes suddenly widened, and Wang Mang suddenly stabbed him in the abdomen.
"Why?"
Ji Di said with great difficulty, and his face was puzzled.
Wang Mang ignored it, and said lightly: "Don't worry, Zhang Anshi will go back to accompany you soon." ”
The next day, a piece of news shocked the entire Liao State, the Northern Han envoy Ji Di, and the deputy envoy Zhang Anshi, died in the assassination at the same time, and even the post house where the mission was staying was burned down.
As soon as this news came out, everyone couldn't help but suspect that it was someone from the Qin State who did it, and even Gongsun Xuanyuan thought so.
Li Hongzhang, the envoy of the Qin army, was also stunned when he learned about it, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's calculated, Liu Che is really ruthless." ”
The Northern Han mission was completely wiped out, although it was not the hand of the Qin State, but the Qin State was the most suspicious, after all, not long ago, the Qin army also planned the assassination of Wang Mang in the Qi State.
Li Hongzhang naturally knows this, and now there are only two paths in front of him:
One is to flee back to China directly regardless of these, and in this case, it is basically confirmed that he was framed.
The second is to stay and cooperate with the investigation, but in this case, it is difficult to guarantee one's own safety, and it is difficult to guarantee whether the Northern Han Dynasty will have other tricks.
Li Hongzhang finally chose the second path, and did not secretly return to Qin, but stayed behind to cooperate with the Liao State to prove Qin's innocence.
Li Hongzhang's frank attitude also diluted a lot of Gongsun Xuanyuan's doubts, but the steps that should be taken still have to be taken, after all, this matter is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled well, it will trigger a war between the two countries.
Just when Gongsun Xuanyuan was busy with the total destruction of the Northern Han Mission, there was bad news.
Sudden news came from the border that 50,000 Manchu troops were coming to kill the Liao State, and the intention was unknown.
After Gongsun Xuanyuan learned about it, he immediately left the matter of the mission, and personally led the guards to take the frontier to preside over the overall situation, and at the same time sent messages to the soldiers and horses of all battalions in various places, ready to assemble on the frontier at any time to start a national war.
On the way to the march, Ye Qingmei said worriedly: "Big brother, the Manchu Qing Dynasty came this time, not necessarily to start a war directly, you can't go to the front line of Afghanistan so quickly, what if there is no chaos on the national capital." ”
"What kind of chaos can happen, in terms of resisting foreign races, the Wenpin Liao army is absolutely united. What's more, the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to attack again, and because my brother didn't sit in charge in person, I didn't feel at ease. Gongsun Xuanyuan said.
Seeing this, Ye Qingmei didn't want to say anything, but his heart became more and more uneasy.
"It's really a bit too coincidental, could this be Wang Mang's conspiracy?" Ye Qingmei said secretly in his heart.
At the same time, the national capital of Liao, the military administration of Liaoxi, in Yangle City, on the mansion of Gongsun Shu.
Wang Mang looked at Gongsun Shu with a flat face, and said lightly: "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty comes to attack, Gongsun Xuanyuan will definitely go to the frontier to guard in person, and only when Gongsun Xuanyuan leaves Yangle, you can replace him." ”
Gongsun Shu forcibly endured the excitement in his heart and said, "Now that Gongsun Xuanyuan is gone, can we act?" ”
Wang Mang nodded, then took out the holy decree prepared in advance, and said: "From today on, General Gongsun Shu is the Liao King of my Northern Han Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty Xie trusts, Gongsun Shu will definitely die for my big man's liver and brain, and then he will die."
Gongsun Shu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but he didn't know whether he was kneeling Liu Che or Wang Mang.
