Hongmen Inn.

In the early morning, a carriage coming from afar stopped outside the gate of the Hongmen Inn.

A majestic old man in white, a middle-aged young man with a beard, and a middle-aged swordsman who was silent and full of murderous aura got out of the carriage.

Although there are few people from Huainan, they are extremely capable.

A Xiangguo lord who presides over the overall situation.

Wu Liang, a top strategist who is insidious and vicious, full of scheming, and specializes in desperate schemes.

There is also a well-known assassin master Lei Ben, once he makes a move, he will never make a false move.

"Lord Xiangguo, this is the most famous Hongmen Inn in Jinling City!

This is the most luxurious and high-end inn in Jinling City, with spacious and comfortable rooms and the best conditions. Tucked away in the city, this is the best place for us to hide.

We have a lot of tasks on this trip, so we still have to rest. ”

The blue-bearded Confucian shook his fan, looked at the luxurious inn, and smiled.

"Well, Hongmen Inn, this is a good sign! This is the famous inn where Taizu set up a Hongmen banquet and assassinated Pei Gong.

What a sign! I waited for this time to enter Jinling City, and I will definitely succeed. Just stay here. ”

The old man in white entered the inn and couldn't help frowning when he saw the noisy people in the inn.

There are many people and a mixed population, which is not conducive to discussing assassination in the inn.

He threw down a piece of gold and said indifferently to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, the old man of the inn has been packed, I will have a banquet for some businessmen in the next three or five days, and the idlers and miscellaneous people will be cleared!"

The shopkeeper Xiang glanced up at the gold, a little surprised.

Where did this hillbilly come from, a gold ingot, only a thousand taels of silver, and he actually wanted to charter the Hongmen Inn?!

There are so many gentlemen in Jinling City, and there is no charter.

But.

Lord Fu Yin said that if there are suspicious and strange people haunting the inn, they will try to stay as much as possible and monitor the movements.

"Uh...... The three masters, after Lord Yin of Jinling Mansion took office, the real-name system was implemented, and all inns and restaurants in the city must be registered with their real names, otherwise they cannot move in. The name of the three masters?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly accepted the gold and said with a smile.

"Que Quan, Wu Liang, Lei Ben! ...... from the North Merchant. ”

Xiang Guo Que Quan was silent for a moment and said.

They are only famous in Huainan Shouchun City, and when they go out of Huainan Kingdom, the people of Jinling City don't recognize them at all.

Even if someone recognizes them, it doesn't matter, after all, they haven't done anything now, so they can't arrest them for no reason, right?

After they assassinate the little dusk marquis, they immediately flew away, and there was nothing to worry about.

"Hey, okay! The three masters, if you have an order, just say. ”

The shopkeeper quickly wrote down their names in Mao.

These three names are easy to remember!

Lack of rights!

Unscrupulous!

Tears break!

It's impressive to listen to.

"By the way, the old man has some businessmen and friends coming tonight. Be careful with your hospitality, and don't be lazy!"

Que Quan said.

"Yes~Yes~, a few old grandfathers are resting, this shopkeeper must do things well!"

The shopkeeper nodded and hurriedly wrote it down.

...

Wait for them to go upstairs.

Xiao Er, who was in the inn on the side, muttered: "These few, all with fine skin and tender meat, are pampered and noble, and they don't look like merchants!" There is also a fierce-looking swordsman, they won't come to Jinling City to kill people. ”

Xiang Da's shopkeeper knocked over with a brain and scolded: "As far as you know, you are too talkative, so don't hurry up and wait." No matter how much you talk, your wages will be deducted! ”

The shopkeeper hugged his head and scurried.

...

Night.

One after another, there were some "distinguished guests" who stayed at the Hongmen Inn.

This group of mysterious guests gathered in the Hongmen Inn.

For a time, fifty or sixty assassins gathered in the Hongmen Inn. All of them are mysterious, either strategists or assassins.

They were all assassins and advisors sent by the princes and kings, ready to work together.

Raising an army to rebel is not a family affair, but a matter of more than ten princes and kings.

Assassinating Xiao Duhou is such a big thing, of course, everyone has to do it together.

The princes of Wu, Chu, Zhao, Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, and other princes all sent assassins to participate in the assassination.

The king of Huainan sent Xiangguo Que Quan, the strategist Wu Liang, and the famous grandmaster-level assassin Lei Ben on the rivers and lakes.

Que Quan's status is the highest among everyone, and he is naturally the mastermind of this assassination...... One.

However, King Wu also sent Princess Xiang Xiang to lead some assassins to participate, and he was also one of the masterminds.

Xiang Xiang, the daughter of King Wu, is eloquent and intelligent, and has been active in Jinling City for half a year, secretly squandering gold treasures, gathering Jinling heroes and strategists, getting acquainted with dignitaries from all walks of life, exploring the trends of the imperial court, and accumulating contacts.

Even, there are the envoys of the Xiongnu, Baiyue, Xianbei, and Dawan countries in Jinling City, who are also the masterminds behind the scenes, and they all came to the Hongmen Inn to participate in this secret meeting.

They were one of the masterminds hiding deeper, just didn't send the assassins to their guns.

The Xiongnu prince Yizhi smiled and said to the assassins: "This king Yizhi, on behalf of the military minister Shan Yu, makes a promise to all the lords, princes and kings.

As long as your princes and kings join forces, our Xiongnu will immediately send out an army of 300,000 to attack the border passes, contain the border army of Dachu, and make it impossible to return.

You just have to take the Jinling Imperial City, which of you is the emperor of the Great Chu, we Huns welcome it. We, the Xiongnu and Dachu, will always be fraternal countries. ”

"Yes, we can also raise troops and plan for you to raise troops at the border! Rest assured, princes. ”

Baiyue, Xianbei and other envoys also expressed their positions.

Princess Xiang Xiang, Que Quan and other strategists sneered in their hearts when they heard this.

The Great Chu Dynasty was powerful, with more than 70 million people, and had always looked down on these barbarian countries.

The Xiongnu, Baiyue, Xianbei and other small barbarian countries are playing with what ideas, they don't know.

It's nothing more than taking advantage of the fire to rob, wanting to take advantage of the civil strife in Dachu.

However, their princes also needed the help of the Xiongnu, Baiyue, and Xianbei to harass the border and contain the army of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Among them, the strength of the Xiongnu was the most powerful, enough to contain hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Otherwise, the hundreds of thousands of elite border cavalry of the most elite of Great Chu are all guarding against the Xiongnu in the north, and once they return to clear the princes and kings, it will be really difficult to deal with.

It's just a mutual use, and there's no cooperation.

"Thank you for your great help, and when this is done, we and the princes and kings will thank you.

Next, we have to discuss some internal affairs, how to assassinate the little faint marquis.

The envoys are too conspicuous and easy to reveal their identities, so there is no need to participate in this assassination, please go back! Just wait for the signal that the little faint marquis is dead. ”

Xiang Guo Que Quan was polite and said coldly.

After the rebellion of the princes and kings is successful and the civil strife in Great Chu is pacified, sooner or later these barbarians will have to be cleaned up.

"Okay, waiting for good news!"

"As soon as the little dusk marquis dies, we will definitely send troops."

Yizhi, the prince of the Huns, and the envoys of Baiyue, Xianbei and other countries also knew their identities, and after making an appointment, they did not stay in the Hongmen Inn for long, and left quickly.

Que Quan watched them leave coldly, quite disdainful.

Dozens of assassins from the vassal states continued to discuss the best plan to assassinate the Marquis of Xiao Duan in the Hongmen Inn.
