Gao Fang could only summon Xu Shouren, hoping to get comfort from Xu Shouren.

But Xu Shouren told the truth, he couldn't make a claim about whether the emperor of his country would accept Princess Foyin, so he could only wait for Baili Wuji's new will.

Gao Fang, who could not get comfort from Xu Shouren's mouth, became more and more frightened in his heart, and in the case of losing Guangcun, he listened to the strategy of his son Gao Zhiping and sent an assassination team to assassinate Duan's envoy group.

Gao Fang's thoughts were the same as everyone in Dali, he thought that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom would definitely accept Princess Foyin, so that the Duan clan would be supported by the Ming Kingdom, and he would be abandoned by the Ming Kingdom.

Gao Fang lost his square inch in a hurry, he not only sent an assassination team, but also did a stupid thing that really pushed the Gao family to a point of no return.

In order to prevent the unexpected, he detained Xu Shouren, who was called, as a hostage.

In Gao Fang's view, the dispatch of the assassination team is equivalent to tearing up the face with the Ming Kingdom.

Because when Duan Sicong ordered Princess Foyin to make peace with the Ming Kingdom, and the moment the envoy group left Dali Mansion and transported it to Jinling Mansion, the envoy group was linked to the Ming Kingdom, and without a response from the Ming Kingdom, they assassinated them, which was equivalent to slapping the face of the Ming court.

In this case, deducting Xu Shouren can at least be used as a bargaining chip with Ming Guo for Gao Fang.

In times of crisis, it may be possible to save the Gao family.

And when Bailikang learned that Gao Fang had detained Xu Shouren, he couldn't get Baili Wuji's new will, so he could only prepare for the rescue, but he couldn't carry out the rescue operation.

Fortunately, Xu Shouren's life was not in danger for the time being, but he was detained.

These days. Baili Wuji in the palace is very relaxed and comfortable, Yang Tingshi has been able to train the "bombing team" well, and there is no longer a need for Baili Wuji to do it himself.

The manufacture of the armory workshop has also been finalized. The construction of eight wheelships by the Ship Institute has been finalized and is being tested.

Baili Wuji was really empty, especially in the reports of Xu Shouren and Baili Kang of Dali Kingdom, one qiē proceeded according to the plan, which made Baili Wuji more at ease.

But what he didn't know was that while he was teasing Baili Jingbei to enjoy the joy of family, the emperor of Dali had already linked his daughter Princess Foyin with him.

And this envoy group is on the way to Jinling Mansion. It's coming soon.

Duan Foyin's envoy group left Dali Mansion and, according to the set route, went north out of Longshou Pass to Sanzhihou. Take the official boat along the Jinsha River all the way to the northeast until the confluence of the Jinsha River and the Min River, and then go north along the Min River to Chengdu Mansion of the Ming Kingdom.

Then led by the Ming Kingdom Chengdu Mansion Pavilion to Jinling Mansion.

The assassination team sent by the high side did not move before the envoy group arrived in Sanzhi.

This is because the envoy group has just left Dali Mansion and is too close to each other. It is easy to get the support of the imperial army of Dali Mansion. The chances of success are too low.

The assassination team followed all the way, and even when the envoy group waited for all the people to get on the official ship and sail to the Minjiang River, they also chased them all the way.

The envoys were divided into two official ships, the front ship leading the way, and the one on board was three hundred soldiers; The rear ship was accompanied by dozens of members of the envoy group, including Duan Foyin, dozens of attendants and two hundred crossbowmen.

When Duan Sicong left Beijing, Duan Sicong prepared a selection of 500 soldiers for her to ensure the safety of Princess Foyin along the way.

Duan Sicong could naturally think that Gao Fang would not give up, but Duan Sicong also considered that he was now facing off with the Gao rebels on the east and west of the Lancang River.

That is, by normal. It is impossible for the Gao rebel forces to have a large number of military personnel east of the Lancang River, and all the routes from Dali Mansion to Jinling Mansion are under the control of the imperial army. There should not be a large number of assassins.

Therefore, Duan Sicong thought that 500 armor soldiers were enough to deal with the small group of nuisances along the way.

At the same time, Duan Sicong chose the waterway for his daughter, because the waterway is more unfavorable for assassination than the land route.

Within the control area of the imperial army, once a large unknown ship appeared, it was impossible to escape the military's sight.

If Gao Fangzhen sent someone to assassinate him, then two tall and sturdy official ships and 500 soldiers would be enough to deal with possible accidents.

But Duan Sicong obviously has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't understand that sometimes, no matter how strong the official ship is, it can't withstand the combined attack of a large number of sampans, because the ships of this era are all wooden ships, and no matter how strong they are, they can't resist fire attacks, let alone fire oil.

The leader of the assassination team is Gao Zhiping, Gao Fang's eldest son.

If it weren't for the accident, Gao Zhiping would have become Princess Foyin's husband.

After a few years, Gao Zhiping, with the support of the strength of the Gao clan, is likely to force Duan Sicong to abdicate as a monk and replace him.

But this hope was shattered in the course of a year.

The hatred in Gao Zhiping's heart is beyond words.

Since he was a child, he has regarded Princess Foyin as his own forbidden body, and in his opinion, it is only a matter of time before the princess marries him, but now, the opposition between the Duan and Gao clans makes it impossible for him to take the princess for himself.

In order to vent his anger, he assassinated Gao Fangjian, but his main starting point was not for the interests of the Gao clan, but only to vent his personal anger.

There is a kind of people in the world who will try to destroy it by all means and make it impossible for everyone to get it.

Gao Zhiping is undoubtedly this kind of person.

But Gao Zhiping is definitely a smart person, and he didn't give the order to do something to the envoy group before the three battles, so it can be seen that Gao Zhiping did not lose his mind because of hatred, and he has forbearance that ordinary people can't match.

Gao Zhiping's assassination personnel were as high as 800 people, divided into four teams, which is already seventy percent of the people that Gao has planted around Dali Mansion.

Gao Fang ordered only to let Gao Zhiping lead 300 people to carry out the assassination, but Gao Zhiping could no longer care about his father's order, he ignored the persuasion of his entourage, and forcefully mobilized all the details around Dali Mansion, and the consequence was that Gao Fang could no longer get efficient information.

Seventy percent of the personnel were transferred, and Gao's intelligence network around Dali Mansion was almost paralyzed.

If it weren't for the fact that the remaining thirty percent were old and weak, Gao Zhiping would have transferred far more than 800 people.

Gao Zhiping divided the personnel into two routes, water and land, with 200 people by water, divided into five sampans, and followed the official ships all the way; The land routes, disguised as vendors, rushed along the south bank of the Jinsha River.

The land route is always faster than the water route, especially if there are horses to travel on your behalf.

When Duan Foyin's envoy group traveled from the waterway to the junction of Dali and Ming, Gao Zhiping by land had already arrived in Rongzhou.

Rongzhou (now Yibin) is already the territory of the Ming Kingdom, located at the confluence of the Jinsha River, the Min River and the Yangtze River, and the waterway transportation is developed. In addition, it is located in the border area and connects various ethnic minorities in the west, which is an important military location.

It is known as "the river leads to the Three Gorges, and the state city controls the hundred barbarians". (To be continued......)
