Chapter 346: Not for becoming an emperor, only for troubled times

When Xiao Rui and the three of them came to Gongyechang's house, the funeral was going on, several respected old people in the village came to help, the coffin was also ready, Gongye Chang was ready to be buried today, and then donated the money and property from Xiao Rui to the villagers, completely carefree, and could follow Xiao Rui with peace of mind.

Li Yuanfang followed Xiao Rui's prompt, and had already told Gongye Chang his true identity last night. Gongye Chang never expected that the person he was going to follow was the Seven Princes of the Great Xia Kingdom, and Xiao Rui could use his talent, hoping that he would form an intelligence bird team to provide a guarantee for Xiao Rui to win the battlefield in the future.

Gongye Chang was stunned on the spot, and in a moment he burst into tears.

He grew up in a poor family, and his knowledge was eavesdropped on from the private school, and he was caught many times by the master of the school, and he couldn't get rid of it, and finally acquiesced in his behavior, and the master praised him for being sensitive and studious, if he could study Confucianism, he would become a great tool. It's a pity that the word Hanmen is like a shackle that has trapped him for thirty years, and he originally thought that he would do nothing in this life, but he didn't expect to usher in the dawn at the most desperate time.

So when Xiao Rui came again, Gongye Chang bowed down, that is, to thank him for his kindness and respect, and to show his loyalty, Xiao Rui hurriedly helped him up.

And Xiao Rui came today, first, to see how the funeral went, and second, Guo Jia planned to bring some carrier pigeons back, and then asked the Great Xia caravan of Yandu to send people to send the carrier pigeons back to Xia and send them to Licheng Military Town to Zhenyuan Marquis.

In this way, Xiao Rui and Han Ming can transmit information through carrier pigeons.

Gongye Chang immediately selected twenty carrier pigeons, and Xiao Rui and the three of them did not disturb him to continue the funeral, and returned to Yandu with the carrier pigeons. It just so happened that a caravan was about to return to the Xia Kingdom, Guo Jia paid for the carrier pigeons to be handed over to them, and asked them to quickly transfer them to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the caravan took the money and immediately sent people to rush back.

After this trip, it was already afternoon.

The three of them found a restaurant to eat, and during the meal, Xiao Rui asked, "Fengxiao, how are you going to find out the name of Zhao Kuangming, the sixth prince of Zhao State?" ”

Guo Jia said: "For the sake of safety, Zhao Kuangming just sent his subordinates to contact Miss Bai, and Miss Bai also followed her, but unfortunately the other party was too vigilant. Yuan Fang and Dian Wei are too targeted, and they are not good at tracking, if Lu Xian is here, he can use the method of tracking, but now he can only find another way. The huge Yan Du wants to find the hidden Zhao Kuangming, which is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Guo Jia said: "Zhao Kuangming's purpose in coming to Yandu is to assassinate Emperor Yan, and now he thinks that he has made arrangements, and Sun Liang, the commander of the forbidden army, has provided them with military uniforms, waist cards and routes, and only waited for the assassination to start at night four days later." Therefore, according to human nature, Zhao Kuangming must leave Yandu before the dead enter the palace for assassination, because once the assassination is successful, Yandu will be blocked, and he can't leave if he wants to. But will he just leave? No! He wants to know whether Emperor Yan is dead or not, so he will not go far, and he needs to keep abreast of the situation in Yandu at any time. ”

"So it's clear that he will find a safe place in these four days, not in Yandu but close to Yandu, he can get the news closely, and he can disappear if he retreats. And this safe place is naturally in the northwest of Yandu, and it is close to the official road to Zhao State, so it is convenient for him to escape. ”

"In this way, the scope of the search is greatly reduced, and you only need to send someone to check the villages outside the northwest of Yandu, whether there are strangers in and out, and you can track Zhao Kuangming's whereabouts."

After Xiao Rui heard this, he asked, "What if Zhao Kuangming is cunning and thoughtful?" Where is he hiding in the northeast, east, or even west of Yandu? ”

Guo Jia smiled: "So I also made a second plan, just to avoid Zhao Kuangming being cunning." And this plan needs to use the white girl and the princess Linglong, so that the white girl can pass a message to Zhao Kuangming, deliberately startling the snake. Didn't the commander of Baiyun Mountain return to Beijing just now? He is also the commander of the forbidden army, and he is at the same level as Sun Liang, so he can let Princess Linglong operate the rotation of the two, and let the white girl tell Zhao Kuangming's person, just say that on the night of the assassination, it was originally Sun Liang guarding the palace, but it was suddenly changed to Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain is a master of the Wupin Realm, and he is loyal to Emperor Xia, if he leads people to defend the palace, the assassination will inevitably be difficult to achieve. Therefore, it was recommended to assassinate Baiyun Mountain first, but Zhao Kuangming's number of dead soldiers was limited, only sixteen people, and they had to enter the palace to assassinate Emperor Yan in good condition, so no one assassinated Baiyun Mountain. His Royal Highness thinks that Zhao Kuangming will do it when there is no one? ”

Xiao Rui's eyes lit up, and he said, "I will ask Yan Xifeng for help, and it must be him who will personally meet and lobby." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't track Zhao Kuangming, but you can track Yan Xifeng, Yan Xifeng will naturally not be in the East Palace if he wants to see Zhao Kuangming, he will definitely come out quietly, and it will be much easier to follow him." ”

"Yes, that's a good idea." Xiao Rui calculated: "Then look for Zhao Kuangming's trace first, and if you can't find it, then take the second plan." ”

After the three of them had dinner, they returned to the princess's mansion to track down Zhao Kuangming's matter, and Yan Linglong had to dispatch it.

At this time, the East Palace of the Yan Imperial Palace.

Yan Xifeng stayed in the dormitory, reclining and lying softly, humming a little song, and looking lazy. Not far from him, stood an old man with gray hair.

"Teacher, are you still angry with me?" Yan Xifeng glanced at the old man, and a cold light flashed in Danfeng's eyes.

The old man sighed and said, "Your Highness, please cancel the assassination, you must not do the great rebellion of killing the king and killing your father!" ”

"This king didn't assassinate him, it was Zhao Kuangming, the sixth prince of Zhao State, who did it, but this king knew it. Teacher, please rest assured, when the time comes, the king will kill him and avenge his father. Besides, there are masters around the father, and although the dozen or so dead soldiers he brought are all strong martial artists, whether they can succeed in assassination or not, it is a matter of two words. Yan Xifeng narrowed Danfeng's eyes and said with a smile.

The old man couldn't persuade Yan Xifeng, so he said, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince curious?" Zhao Kuangming, a prince, actually brought more than a dozen dead soldiers to assassinate His Majesty, who gave him the courage? I believe that it will definitely not be planned by His Royal Highness the Prince, because if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it, Zhao Kuangming would not dare to come, he was afraid that it would be a trap, only he wanted to come! His assassination in Yan Guoxing is no less than hitting a stone with an egg, and he is in danger, does he have other intentions besides assassination? The prince must be cautious to prevent being calculated! ”

"Of course I do!" Yan Xifeng sat up straight, and said: "Zhao Kuangming came to Yandu to assassinate His Majesty, it was calculated, as for who it is, the woman in Han Xing's Mansion is one person, and the other person is other princes of Yan Kingdom, and even the prince of Zhao Kingdom, who was born to him with his mother." I'm just pulling the strings in it, whether it's King Pingnan or Sun Liang, I can't harm this king in the slightest. And just like this king just said, it doesn't matter whether this assassination is successful or not, what I need is the assassination! Zhao Kuangming must also die in Yandu, and it is in full view! ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Your Highness's participation in the assassination is not for the throne at all, but to force the Zhao State to start a war against our Yan State?" ”

Yan Xifeng stood up, the black robe on his body was immediately draped over his body, and his black hair was simply tied into a bun, looking bohemian.

"That's right! Once the battle between Yan and Zhao starts, it will inevitably implicate Xia and Qi, and then the southern Wei State will inevitably participate in the war, and five of the seven countries of the Shenzhou Continent will be fighting, what a wonderful troubled era it should be? Yan Xifeng said leisurely: "When Zhao Kuangming was tricked, his mission was already doomed. His brothers are also looking forward to using his death to ignite the flames of war! ”

After hearing this, the old man looked frightened and scolded: "Prince, are you crazy? The five countries are in a scuffle, how many people are suffering? Our Yan country is already weak, and in this crack, it is like a flat boat in the stormy waves, how can we survive? No, never! ”

"Teacher, you are old, how desirable is the picture of the world in troubled times?" Yan Xifeng's eyes were blurred, as if he was in a dream.

The old man pointed at Yan Xifeng and shouted: "You are hopeless, the old man will enter the palace now and expose your crimes!" ”

After that, the old man turned around to leave, but as soon as he took two or three steps, he was pierced through his chest by Yan Xifeng's sword.

The old man fell to the ground, pointed at Yan Xifeng, the corners of his mouth moved and vomited blood, but he was no longer able to speak.

Yan Xifeng even dared to kill his brother and kill his father, how could he be merciful when he treated his so-called teacher?

Boom...

Yan Xifeng threw his sword on the ground, and said unsatisfied: "This king told you the plan today, and he didn't plan to spare your life." You are a bad old man, you think that if you become a prince and a teacher, you can educate this king? ”

"Someone!"

Immediately outside the hall, several armored forbidden soldiers entered.

"Throw the corpse into a dry well." Yan Xifeng said casually.

Without speaking, the armored forbidden army dragged the body away, and then wiped the blood on the ground.

Not long after, an internal official and a young man hurried in.

Yan Xifeng asked, "I heard that you have something important to tell this king in person?" ”

The young man was none other than Huang Qiusheng's nephew.

"Yes, the villain does have something important to tell His Royal Highness the Prince!" The young man swallowed his saliva, and the air was still filled with blood, which made his mouth dry.

"Say it." Yan Xifeng asked.

The young man said respectfully: "When the villain returned to Beijing with his uncle, Huang Qiusheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, he found an unexpected person on the street of Yandu. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Yan Xifeng asked.

The young man said: "It's the seventh prince of the Xia Kingdom, Xiao Rui!" Last year, my uncle was fortunate enough to go to the Xia Kingdom with Princess Linglong to form an alliance, and my uncle has a talent for unforgettable and accurate recognition, so he recognized Xiao Rui in disguise in the crowd at a glance! ”

Yan Xifeng raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, and asked, "He came to Yandu?" ”

"My uncle guessed that Xiao Rui probably came to find Princess Linglong." The youth said.

The corners of Yan Xifeng's mouth raised, Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a cold light, and he let out a cold smile, making his sinister face even more gloomy: "It seems that my beloved sister really takes a fancy to him." ”

"Let's go, take this king to meet Huang Shilang." Yan Xifeng immediately walked towards the outside of the hall.

The young people hurriedly followed.

Yan Xifeng arrived at Huang Qiusheng's mansion and stayed in it for nearly an hour before he came out.

When he went in, his hands were empty, and when he came out, there was an extra scroll in his hand, and he got into the carriage and returned to the East Palace, and couldn't help but open the scroll.

On the painting, it is Xiao Rui's face depicted by Huang Qiusheng, with superb painting skills, and Xiao Rui's handsomeness is perfectly presented.

"It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you... Ha ha... This king actually looked away, and actually gave up my beloved sister to you, tsk, turn the dragon upside down, so happy. ”

After Yan Xifeng saw Xiao Rui's portrait, he was shocked, if there was a sword by his side, it was estimated that he would stab Huang Qiusheng to death in anger.

"Yandu is really lively these days, the seven princes of Xia and the six princes of Zhao, if they both die in Yandu, then who can stop this war? Mess up, mess up, how exciting! ”

It is estimated that Xiao Rui and Guo Jia can't guess that Yan Xifeng is not doing all this for the throne, but for the chaos in the world!

Suddenly, Yan Xifeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted to the outside world: "Don't go back to the palace for the time being, go to Princess Pingyang's Mansion in Zhenguo!" ”
