Hearing Aunt Lin say this, Xu Feiyan nodded and said impassionedly: "I think so." Lord Di is brave and good at fighting, and every time he fights, he takes the lead, leading his soldiers to capture the pass, conquering countless cities, and burning tens of thousands of grain and grass in Western Xia. In the battle, once Di Daren was hit by eight arrows, but he still charged into battle, and made a great feat, making the enemy fearful. Such a brave and fearless hero, of course, is a god descending from heaven! ”

"I was fortunate enough to meet Master Di once on the road, he is so handsome, no wonder he wears a mask when fighting." Aunt Lin swallowed her saliva and said.

When Aunt Lin's husband Uncle Lin heard this, he couldn't help but come out of the back room, glanced at Aunt Lin, and sneered: "Every time you talk about Master Di, you are greedy, you are the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, can you look down on you?" ”

Aunt Lin replied unconvinced: "Hmph, I have inquired, Master Di was born in poverty, and he turned out to be a low-level officer, if I knew him at that time, I would not have been able to guarantee that he would have taken a fancy to me." ”

Xu Feiyan thought to herself: "How did Aunt Lin get Lizi's disease, she is so self-aware!" She wants martial arts without martial arts, she wants literary talent without literary talent, and her appearance is ordinary, she actually thinks that Master Di will take a fancy to her! ”

Thinking of this, Xu Feiyan interjected: "I guess, Master Di should have a soft spot for women with strong martial arts. ”

Aunt Lin said sarcastically: "Feiyan, don't you like your senior brother?" How I listen, you seem to have a crush on Master Di. ”

Uncle Lin pointed at Xu Feiyan and Aunt Lin and said, "You people are all toads!" Master Di already has a wife and a son. ”

Aunt Lin argued: "We are not the only ones who like Master Di, the vast majority of the people in the capital, regardless of men, women and children, like Lord Di!" ”

The news of the mysterious fire in Di Mansion reached the imperial court, and many ministers mentioned Zhu Wen back then, taking the opportunity to spread rumors and slander Di Qing. Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, taking advantage of the rumors of the people and Di Qing's prestige in the army, persuaded the emperor to remove Di Qing from his position as privy envoy. (Note: The Privy Council is one of the highest state institutions that administers important military affairs, and the power of the Privy Council is equal to that of the Prime Minister.) ）

The emperor said with some hesitation: "Di Qing should be a loyal minister." ”

Wen Yanbo was worried about the repetition of the history of the "yellow robe", so he said: "Isn't Taizu also a loyal minister of the previous dynasty? However, once the time was ripe, he launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, overthrew the Later Zhou, and became the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When the emperor heard this, he no longer hesitated and demoted Di Qing to Chenzhou as a magistrate.

After Di Qing left Beijing, the people in the capital talked a lot and were very dissatisfied with the actions of the imperial court.

At the headquarters of the Earth Dragon Gang, the three masters were having a meeting, and the big boss asked, "Is there a way to let the imperial court reactivate Lord Di?" ”

The second master said: "If the war breaks out again between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, Master Di will be reactivated. It's just that when there is a war, taxes will be raised, troops will be conscripted, and the common people will suffer. ”

The third master said indignantly: "What is Xixia, a small place the size of sesame mung beans, my Great Song actually wants to pay it New Year's coins in exchange for peace, it's a great shame!" Those years of coins are not asking for the common people in the end! Now, there is finally a Master Di who can fight, if Lord Di is allowed to return to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to beat Xixia to its original form, let them know how many catties and taels they are, and they dare not ask for New Year's coins again. I think that Master Di should be given the opportunity to go to war. ”

The big boss agreed: "I agree with the third brother's opinion, now, the Western Xia economy is depressed, and it can't support a protracted war, and after a few defeats, they will definitely sue for peace." With Master Di here, it should be possible to solve the battle quickly, and it will not have much impact on the people. And, in the long run, it's good for the people. ”

"Now that the eldest brother has decided, let's discuss the plan of action." After pondering for a moment, the second master continued: "At present, the main battle faction and the main peace faction within Western Xia account for half of each other, and the main and peace factions have a slight advantage. The Western Xia delegation will come to the capital in a short time, and this time, the three princes of Western Xia and the important minister Su Jianming will come, both of them are lords and factions. If these two people were killed in the capital, the main battle faction of Western Xia would naturally gain the upper hand, and they would take advantage of the excuse to raise troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and at that time, Lord Di would definitely be reactivated. ”

The big boss thought for a while and said: "There must be a lot of martial arts masters in the Western Xia mission, after they come to Beijing, they will live in the pavilion, and the pavilion is also guarded by the Song army, and it is not easy to kill the three princes and the important minister Su Jianming." ”

The second master said: "It's really not easy! First of all, we need to grasp the schedule of operations of the Tangut mission, so that we can arrange the assassination plan. The matter of receiving the mission is the responsibility of Lei Bangrong, the 'Honglu Temple Qing', and the first thing we have to do is to get rid of Lei Bangrong. In this way, Liu Linshen, the 'Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple', will take over the affairs of Lei Bangrong, and Liu Linshen has long been a member of our Dilong Gang. ”

The third master couldn't help but praise: "The second brother is worthy of being a wise star!" ”

The big boss also nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." Second brother, you first draw up a rough plan, and after knowing the action schedule of the Western Xia Mission, we will discuss the specific assassination plan. ”

On this day, Yuan Jun, a staff member of the three princes of Western Xia, was sent by the three princes to come to the Fugui Restaurant to discuss the reservation of the banquet. Yuan Jun took out a piece of paper, handed it to Shopkeeper Zhou, and said, "These are the dishes that our three princes especially want to eat, look, can you make them?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou took it and saw a long list of dish names written on the paper, and after reading it, he replied: "We can make all these dishes in our restaurant, but the raw materials of some dishes must be purchased in other places, and it will take a long time to prepare them, and it will take at least a month to prepare them all." ”

"Our third prince also thought of this, you see, on the eighth of next month, okay?"

"Okay, no problem."

A month passed quickly, and in the headquarters of the Dilong Gang, the three masters got together again to discuss the plan to assassinate the three princes of Western Xia. The second master said: "'Honglu Siqing' Lei Bangrong died, as expected, Liu Linshen temporarily acted as the 'Honglu Siqing' and was responsible for entertaining the Western Xia mission. The person who went to assassinate Lei Bangrong was arrested by the Criminal Department, and I am trying to find a way to rescue him. ”

The big boss said: "Got it, when will the Western Xia mission arrive?" ”

The second master replied: "They are two days later than planned, and they will arrive on the 10th of this month." On the 10th, the third prince would go to the Fugui Restaurant to drink, and we would kill him at the banquet. It is not clear whether the important minister Su Jianming went to the banquet with him, if he went, he could even kill him; If you don't go, you can only wait for the opportunity to start again. ”。

The big boss said: "If the third prince dies at the banquet, and Su Jianming does not go to the banquet, then Su Jianming is not careful to protect the prince, and he will be punished by Western Xia, demoted, dismissed, or imprisoned, so it doesn't matter if he can't kill Su Jianming." As long as the three princes die in the Great Song Dynasty, the main battle faction of the Western Xia will have the upper hand, and they will definitely encourage the Western Xia Emperor to rekindle the war and send troops to attack our Great Song Dynasty. ”
