Chapter 38 Sharpening knives and killing opportunities
In a courtyard wing of the Huo family, Huo Rongsheng stood up suddenly, with a shocked expression: "What? What did you say? Brother Wang asked me to act in advance? Is this true? ”
"It's true!"
Wang Fulai said solemnly: "Young Master Huo, my young master said that after you see the chaos of the Wei family, you will immediately send the masters of the rivers and lakes to attack and kill Wei Jianyin as a feint to frighten the snake, and then carry out your assassination plan." After this matter is done, Young Master Huo can quickly go outside the city, and at that time, my young master will have his own arrangements and responses, and you will have no worries. ”
"Childe, what's going on?" The concubine on the side was uneasy, "Our evacuation plan has not been arranged yet, if we do it at this moment, I'm afraid it's not..."
"Xiangrong, you don't need to worry!" Huo Rongsheng calmed down, his face was solemn, "Wang Fulai, according to Brother Wang, he also has other plans for killing Wei Jianyin?" Does he think that my assassination plan will be difficult to succeed in killing Wei Jianyin? Otherwise, how could he let me do it when the Wei family was in turmoil? ”
"Back to Young Master Huo, I don't know about this matter." Wang Fulai said: "When my young master asked you to do it in advance, his face was very solemn. The little one estimated that the young master of my family must have an earth-shattering plan, which can bring a heavy blow to the Wei family and take revenge. Young Master Huo, if you have any other doubts about this matter, you can go to my house to see the young master, and then the young master of my family will have his own part. ”
"No, if he really wants me to see him, he will let me go there directly, instead of you telling me to do it early. I think he is also afraid that if I go to him at this moment, I will be noticed by some well-intentioned people, which will make it a little difficult to act in the future. ”
Huo Rongsheng walked around the room with his hands behind his back, constantly thinking about changes.
Wang Mang said a few days ago that he would not kill Wei Jianyin, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. At this moment, he suddenly made a move, and it seemed to be very aggressive, which made Huo Rongsheng a little puzzled.
After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth, "Wang Fulai, you can go back and tell Brother Wang, just say that I will follow what he said." After the Wei family has a big move, I will definitely act according to the plan. ”
"Yes, Young Master Huo, I'll go back!" Wang Fulai hurriedly exited the room and reported the situation.
After he left, Huo Rongsheng said to the four concubines: "The four of you quickly change into peasant clothes, go to the kitchen to find Aunt Zhang, and ask her to assist you to go outside the city first." When you are outside the city, you can wait in peace in the old place. According to my estimates, it will only be seven or eight hours at most, and I will pick you up at that time, so there is no need to worry. ”
After speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into the arms of the four women, "I have an enmity with that Wei Jianyin, he lives and I die, he dies and I live." Take these silver tickets, just in case. If things change, you can live with these tickets and not work too hard. ”
"No, young master, we don't want silver tickets." The four girls didn't accept the silver ticket, and said in unison: "Young master, we will go and wait outside the city." If you don't come for a day, we will wait for a day. If we don't come for a year, we wait for a year. We don't want silver tickets, we just want to be with you forever. ”
"Silly girl, this thing is not that dangerous, I am just trying to prevent that in case." Huo Rongsheng said with a smile: "I want to come this time Brother Wang must have a big vote, with him to attract firepower, I will not be closely watched by the Wei family." Now I am giving you a silver ticket to prevent my brother from plotting against me.
If he also calculates me at this time, then it will be difficult for me to get out. You have a silver ticket with you, and you can live and avenge me, and this is the best way to live. Therefore do not be willful at this time, or I will not be in vain for you? When you get to the outside of the city, you have to look at everything carefully, see it clearly, and don't look at it randomly. ”
The fourth girl heard this, and then took the silver ticket, "Young master, then we will wait for you in the old place outside the city, you must come to pick us up." ”
"Don't worry, I can't bear you to leave me, I'll pick you up when it's done." Huo Rongsheng said with a smile.
"Okay, in that case, let's go first." The four girls bowed, reluctantly turned around and went to the side room, changed their clothes and asked Aunt Zhang in the kitchen to cover the door.
When the four girls went out, the huge room was empty, and it seemed a little lonely, and there was a feeling that people were going to the empty building.
After being stunned for a moment, Huo Rongsheng sneered twice, and also went out and came to the family martial arts.
In this martial arts hall, there are many young people who are practicing martial arts, enhancing their physique, and learning the ability to grapple and resist fighting.
As for those leaders, they also taught them one by one to correct the irregularities in the training of young people's martial arts, and among them, there were several respected seniors sitting in the main hall of the martial arts hall drinking tea and talking.
Some of these leaders and old-timers are veterans of the battlefield, and some are masters of martial arts families, not people in a single force.
Not only the Huo family, but also several other major families in the imperial capital have martial arts instructors, teaching the juniors of the family to practice martial arts.
No matter the prosperous times, it is much better to have martial arts in your body than not to have martial arts in your body. At critical moments, you can save your life. Therefore, the sons and young masters from the big family are basically more capable of fighting, and ordinary peasant people are not opponents at all.
Huo Rongsheng also practices often, and he also has two tricks under his hands.
He walked through the compound and went straight to the main hall.
When the old-timers saw Huo Rongsheng coming, they put down their teacups and said with a smile: "Young Master Huo, how can you have time to come over today?" What's the matter? ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, just come and go around, and say hello to a few masters by the way."
Huo Rongsheng didn't dare to put on too much of a show in front of these seniors, and gave up his hands again and again. He said to one of the eldest, who was also the leading senior among the many seniors: "Senior Murong, I want to invite Master Murong Fu to have two cups, I wonder if the seniors can be accommodating?" ”
"Now?" Senior Murong was puzzled.
"Hmm!" Huo Rongsheng nodded and said, "Murong Fu is my master, I had a bad temper a few days ago, and I quarreled with my master a few times. When I came today, I actually invited the master to drink two cups and ask the master to dissipate his anger. ”
"Is that so?" Senior Murong nodded, came to the outside field, and said to a middle-aged sect leader: "Murong Fu, Young Master Huo invites you to drink two cups together, you can put down the matter in your hand for the time being." However, you must not be rude to Young Master Huo anymore. ”
The middle-aged man clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Elder!" ”
Huo Rongsheng was overjoyed, came to the middle-aged man, bent down and said, "Master, I was in a bad mood a few days ago, and I asked the master to forgive me." I just got a jar of good wine, and now I can share it with my master. ”
The middle-aged man took a deep look at Huo Rongsheng, had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Young Master Huo is polite, polite." ”
After that, the two of them walked out of the martial arts hall together and went straight to Huo Rongsheng's courtyard.
These two people actually have no grievances, this time Wang Mang asked Huo Rongsheng to make a feint to attack the grass and surprise the snake, this plan Huo Rongsheng was not originally arranged. Now I have said this, just to find an excuse, in order to pull the middle-aged people out.
These martial arts leaders were people in the middle and high levels of the clan, and Huo Rongsheng didn't dare to ask them to kill people in front of everyone, so as not to leak the news and affect major events.
The most important thing is that this middle-aged man has a very good relationship with Huo Rongsheng secretly, which is almost equivalent to taking refuge in Huo Rongsheng, so Huo Rongsheng found him.
When he came to the courtyard, Huo Rongsheng didn't have time to gossip, and went straight to the point: "Murong Fu, I have something that you need to handle immediately." ”
"What's the matter? Master? The middle-aged Murong Fu asked.
Huo Rongsheng replied: "I told you a few days ago that I want to seek revenge on Wei Jianyin. Now here's the opportunity to get your hands dirty. You can quickly win over your Murong family's good hands and follow me to the Wei family to take revenge. ”
"What? Go to the Wei family for revenge? ”
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, "Young master, this is absolutely impossible." There are many masters of the Wei family, and we are so reckless to go to take revenge, I am afraid that we will not even be able to enter the door. ”
"Hahaha, how could I be so unwise?" Huo Rongsheng flickered in a low voice: "That Wei Jianyin attacked and killed Wang Mang a few days ago, which angered the Shangguan family. I got a secret report that the Shangguan family will forcibly enter the Wei family today to take revenge. This is a godsend, and we will take advantage of the chaos to kill it in one fell swoop. Even if you can't kill Wei Jianyin, kill a few of his minions, and show bad luck. ”
"Oh? The Shangguan family is going to do it? That's a big deal. Murong Fu exclaimed.
"Of course, how could I have been so reckless?" Huo Rongsheng sneered: "Wei Jianyin doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to provoke the Shangguan family, just to find death." We're just going to pick up a cheap one and take advantage of the autumn breeze. Also, if the Shangguan family doesn't move, we won't make a move and hide in the dark. Once they do do it, we can do it, and nothing goes wrong. ”
"Okay, with the Shangguan family taking the lead, it will be fine." Murong Fu nodded and said, "Young Master Huo, you wait a moment and wait for me to go and make arrangements." ”
"Good!" Huo Rong was overjoyed, took out some silver tickets and handed them to him, "If this matter is done smoothly, there will be a lot of benefits in the future." Now I'm going to explore the way and see what's going on. When you arrive, hide yourself and watch me gesture. I'll let you do it, and you'll kill it.
The exact timing of this matter is uncertain, and I don't know when the Shangguan family will do it today. Therefore you must hide well and be patient so that no stranger discovers you. ”
"Yes, young master!" Murong Fu looked at the number of silver tickets in his hand, and his heart was very excited. Hurriedly went out, crossed the courtyard, contacted the martial arts masters, and won over the elite masters of the Murong family.
"Whew..., it's finally all ready."
Huo Rongsheng smiled slightly, cleaned up, and when he came to the door, two maidservants greeted him and said, "Young master, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”
"Hmm!"
Huo Rongsheng opened one of the maidservants, and then glanced at the remaining maidservants, stuffed a letter and a small paper package to her.
After doing this, he found a lot of small servants, stepped on the horses, and went out in a majestic manner.
Looking at this posture, I am afraid that I will go to the streets to harm the people again.
The servant girl saw the eyes, received the letter, and understood. Secretly left Huo's house, turned around and came to the street, turned left and right, and arrived at a cloth shop.
When I came to the store, I saw a girl.
This daughter is Xiang Qing, that is, Xiang Rong's distant cousin, the sister in the mouth of Wei Jianyin's concubine Zixia.
This woman is very hidden, and few people know the relationship between her and Huo Rongsheng, which is an important part of Huo Rongsheng's lore of Wei Jianyin.
The maid presented the letter and the paper package, and said, "Miss Xiangqing, the young master has a letter coming." ”
