"Don't worry, I have enough food to feed all of us for a month. Chen Tianping will not arrive in Jiangzhou more than a month later. Han Cang also took a bite of food and said.

Wang Gong didn't answer, but ate a few more bites of rice and took a bite of the dish, frowned slightly and said, "This dish is a little light." ”

Han Cang himself tasted that the dish was indeed light, and said: "It's indeed a little light, this time there is less salt, wait for more salt next time." ”

"No!" As soon as Han Cang's words fell, Cao Anmin said: "The amount of salt that one person eats every day is about the same, if you buy salt according to the amount of nine people, it will definitely arouse suspicion, because you should only have three people here." ”

"But you still have a few buddies, and they also eat salt every day, and you can buy a little more salt, three or four more than usual, but any more will definitely raise suspicion. Everyone can only endure it and eat less salt. ”

"I can buy some salt from the smugglers and I won't be detected." Han Cang said.

"Do you think that at this time, the smugglers will come to a place like Jiangzhou? For the local government of the Ming Kingdom, it is also a credit to catch a few smuggler salt dealers, and now that the investigation is so strict, the smuggler salt dealers coming is equivalent to giving the local government a head for nothing, and they will not come for a while. Cao Anmin said.

"It turns out that there are so many things that need to be paid attention to in the Ming Kingdom, not only food, but also salt." Wang Cheng, who came to Ming for the first time and spoke with a Qiongzhou accent, said.

"The Ming Kingdom is not as good as the country." Cao Anmin, who is not young and has been to the Ming Kingdom many times, said: "I have never seen the strict management of the people in other countries. Be careful about everything. ”

Han Cang somewhat understood why he sent Cao Anmin, who was not young, over. When a person is over forty years old, his physical strength and energy are much less than before, and he is somewhat unable to carry out assassinations, but at the same time they have accumulated a lot of experience that is more useful in carrying out various operations than excess energy and physical strength.

From the next day, Hancang opened every morning, and in the afternoon, he accompanied his 'sister and brother-in-law' to visit this small mountain town that he had never seen before. The guards on patrol did not suspect it, but only told them that because a 'big man' was coming recently, they should not stay near the city walls, nor should they enter and leave the city casually, and the inspection was very cumbersome.

After two days of wandering, they went around the city and drew a map of the city.

The nine of them looked at the map, and after a while, Cao Anmin said: "If you put Chen Tianping into the city and then assassinate him, it will be too difficult. He pointed to the courtyard in the northeast corner of Jiangzhou City where Chen Tianping had been arranged to live and said: "The current protection here is too tight, and it is too difficult to get close without being discovered. And when the time comes, the people who will send vegetables and food to Chen Tianping must also be locals here, and they can check the three generations, and it is too late to coerce and lure them to use them for our use now, and it is impossible to get in. ”

"If you wait for Chen Tianping to assassinate when he comes out of the courtyard, according to my experience, it may not be more likely to succeed than when he first entered the city, and if Chen Tianping does not come out of the courtyard, then we will be completely at a loss. So I think it's best to kill him when he first arrives in Jiangzhou City. ”

"What about digging tunnels under the yard?" Wang Cheng said.

"No, Jiangzhou City is a mountain city, and the tunnels are not easy to dig; Besides, it took too long to dig the tunnel, and maybe Chen Tianping would have gone somewhere else by then. Han Cang said.

"Starting with the food and vegetables sent to Chen Tianping, what about poisoning him?" Han Wei asked.

"This is also a way, but after receiving the food and vegetables sent over, the people who protect Chen Tianping will definitely check it, we now have a few poisons in our hands that only occur in three or five days, but they may not be able to be checked out by the people of the Ming Kingdom."

"So poisoning can only be the last resort, and I thought it was best to assassinate Chen Tianping when he entered the city. Do you have any objections? Cao Anmin said.

"Master Congqi said that this assassination is headed by you, Brother Cao, since this is the case, you can arrange how to assassinate Chen Tianping when he enters the city." Wang Gong said. Cao Anmin was the most experienced of the nine people present, and since he felt that it was best to assassinate Chen Tianping when he entered the city, Wang Gong supported his judgment. Several others did not disagree.

"I'm not busy yet, and I'll have to think again to come up with the safest arrangement. Anyway, there are still three or four days before Chen Tianping comes to Jiangzhou, and there is still time. Cao Anmin said.

……

……

"Lao Luo, it's been a long time, and the commander actually sent you to Yunnan again?" A small man in a flying fish suit said to a sturdy man in front of him.

"Old Fei, long time no see. This time, the commander sent me with a new order. The stout man said.

The two of them sat down in the house, and after a few words of greeting, Fei Bin, who was called Lao Fei, said: "Lao Luo, what orders does the commander have?" Anyway, you don't have to pass on a single order. ”

"This order is not only important, but also must be kept secret, so Commander Qin doesn't worry about others, so he can only ask me to come over and pass the order." Luo Zhenyu said.

Fei Bin asked with a little confusion: "What order, you must personally pass the order?" ”

"See for yourself." Luo Zhenyu put the box containing the order on the table and said.

Fei Bin curiously picked up the box, opened it with a specific technique, took out a silk silk with an order written on it, threw the box aside, and looked at it.

After only a few glances, Fei Bin's face changed, and he raised his head to look at Luo Zhenyu before continuing to look.

Fei Bin quickly read the order, but he was silent for a long time, and then said, "Why did the commander give such an order?" ”

"What do you think?" Luo Zhenyu asked rhetorically.

"I don't think there's ......," Fei Bin swallowed back the rest of his words halfway through.

But Luo Zhenyu already understood what he meant, and said, "It's good that you understand." ”

"Then when the time comes, will the two of us become scapegoats and be removed?" Fei Bin asked a little dejectedly.

"Even if they are removed as scapegoats, their families will definitely be taken care of by the commanders, they will have no worries about food and clothing, and their children will be able to make up for the errands in the guard." Luo Zhenyu said.

"Then do it. I don't dare to disobey orders. Fei Bin seemed to have lost all his spirit in an instant, and said: "Do what you say, do it." ”

"Okay, you ...... now," Luo Zhenyu commanded.

Luo Zhenyu finished ordering the last thing, looked at Fei Bin, who was still completely devoid of energy, and said: "Don't worry, you don't know the temperament of the commander yet, and you won't do anything about unloading and killing donkeys." ”

……

……

June 23, late at night.

In the courtyard of Hancang in Jiangzhou City, Cao Anmin asked the eight people in front of him one by one: "Hancang, has the house you wanted to rent already been rented?" ”

"It's rented."

"Wang Cheng, the gunpowder you brought is not damp."

"Nope."

"Han Wei ,......"

……

After asking all the questions he was going to ask, Cao Anmin said to them: "Tomorrow morning, Chen Tianping will come to Jiangzhou City, all the preparations have been made, and I have already ordered you to do what you want to do." Now, do any of you have any questions? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, he just stared at him seriously and said, "It seems that everyone has no doubts. In that case, let's get moving. Be sure to successfully assassinate Chen Tianping! ”
