Chapter 392: The conspiracy is earth-shattering
The No. 1 and No. 2 people in the Lancheng army were assassinated at the same time, and this news was like thunder, so that the calm prince did not recover from the shock for a while.
"At present, Lancheng has been under martial law in the whole city, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving, and it is not only Commander Pang and Commissar Lan who have been assassinated, but also several powerful generals, who almost hold the real power of other troops except for the Chang'an City Defense Area."
"So many people died at once, what about Chief of Staff Xiao?" The princes suddenly realized that they seemed to be missing a very important person.
"He was slightly injured."
"Minor injuries? It's him! ”
At this time, even a fool will suspect this matter on Xiao Yuanwang's body, two bigwigs were assassinated, and several powerful generals died, so the only person who can control the land of Lancheng is Xiao Yuanwang!
"Commander Pang and Political Commissar Lan have many relatives in the army, are they not afraid of causing a mutiny in the troops below to assassinate like this, why did Xiao Yuanwang do this, could it be the meaning of the capital?"
"That's what we think too." Zhao Nanbei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"According to the information I received, within three days of Xiao Yuanwang's return, he had not made any communication with Commander Pang and Commissar Lan on the grounds of sorting out the report, and yesterday he suddenly proposed to report to them on the capital meeting, I think he should have been making plans, and this time he did not come back alone but brought back two representatives of the capital." Boss Wei said.
"Representatives of the capital?" When the prince heard this, he was almost certain that this matter must be the meaning of the capital, and they were even afraid that Xiao Yuanwang would not be able to assassinate them smoothly, so the two of them specially sent helpers, which means that this time Xiao Yuanwang entered Beijing to participate in the meeting, he must have contacted a certain force in the capital. And a plan was worked out. A plan that would make him the ruler of the Lancheng Military Region.
"Why wasn't Commander Zhao invited to Lancheng?" The prince said suddenly. This matter is too serious, and the two of them can't just say it.
"According to the report of the task force, a large number of mutant corpses have been found in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains in the past few days, and I am afraid that there will be another mutant tide incident, so I did not go, and I have specially consulted Commander Pang about this matter, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
A large number of corpses, and the prince immediately realized that what the task force saw should be the traces left by himself or Xiao Xiao and Li Shanhe who killed the mutants. didn't want to attract Zhao Nanbei's attention because of this, and saved his life.
"General Zhao, what do you mean?"
"I brought it up by Commander Pang, and Xiao Yuanwang just gave me a military order, asking me to arrive in Lancheng before 13:00 in the afternoon to participate in an emergency military meeting."
"It seems that he is ready to do something to you, forgive me for asking, why is Boss Wei so anxious?"
"The leader of the Longxing Gang, that is, my boss is also surnamed Pang, and he is the younger brother of Commander Pang." Boss Wei explained.
No wonder! In an instant, the prince understood why the Longxing Gang had such power in this Lancheng generation. It turned out that behind it was the great god, and now the brother has been killed. This is a big hatred, and the chain of interests has been broken, this is a big hatred, such a big hatred, how can that Boss Pang not be in a hurry.
"Do you two have any ideas for coming to me?"
"General Wang, we don't say dark words, at this time, the only person in the Lancheng area who can make him Xiao Yuanwang jealous is only General Wang, and I think, he is most eager to eradicate you, after all, you have contradictions, and you are a huge threat to him, maybe with your strong strength, he can't attack you, but those who come with you from Jiangcheng are not necessarily."
"If you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush."
"We want to ask General Wang to kill Xiao Yuanwang!"
"After that, who will take over the Lancheng side, and how will the capital side reply?"
"On the Lancheng side, we will elect Commander Zhao to temporarily preside over the work, whether it is seniority or prestige, he is enough, the important thing is that the troops below will obey, as for the capital side, it will be said that Chief of Staff Xiao was assassinated."
"Hehe, it looks like you've all arranged everything!"
Boss Wei and Zhao Nanbei, you look at me, I look at you, as the prince said, both of them have already analyzed this problem and thought of ways to deal with it, but the most critical point is the attitude of the prince, if he is on their side, then it is easy to say, if he is not willing to help, then they will face huge trouble, not to mention that Xiao Yuanwang is now in control of most of the military strength of Lancheng, and he is standing in the position of righteousness, a sentence of disobedience to military orders, Disrupting the peace is enough to punish them, and according to the information revealed by Lan Cheng, the two representatives from the capital next to him are very likely to be awakened as high as level four, otherwise it is impossible to succeed in the assassination, after all, Commander Pang and those people also have personal guards next to them, and they are all third-level awakened people, if this is the case, the safety of the two of them is a big problem.
"Can you get the specific location of Xiao Yuanwang?"
"What?" The two of them didn't react for a while.
"I'd like to have some time to go to his place for tea."
"No problem, I'll call someone to do it right away!"
After receiving the prince's reply, the two left happily and went back to prepare, and the prince was not idle, and immediately gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
"What, they dare to do such a thing?!" Li Shanhe said in surprise.
"There is such a thing as power that will make a considerable number of people crazy, assassinate to seize power, and there are not a few such things in history." Xiao Xiao lit a flue.
"The capital is planning a shocking conspiracy!" Wu Siyuan thought for a long time before he said, "I'm afraid that even you will be counted in it." ”
"According to the reactions of Zhao Nanbei and Boss Wei, I think this matter should be true, and Xiao Yuanwang is not dealing with us, if he really wants to control Zhan Lan City, we are one of his biggest obstacles, and more importantly, Professor Wu said, some forces in the capital seem to be planning a shocking conspiracy, which involves a wide range of things, so I want to have a good chat with Chief of Staff Xiao to see how this game of chess fell to the ground, I don't want to be a chess piece in vain." The prince leaned back on the sofa and whispered.
"What do we need to do?"
"Staying at the camp, I'm worried that the two people from the capital will make some small moves."
"It stands to reason that they should be by Xiao Yuanwang's side, and be careful of your greetings."
"Since you have made a decision, you have to do your best, and if you are late, things will change." Wu Siyuan said.
"I'm waiting for their reply, and I need to know where he is if I want to talk to someone, right?"
The Lancheng Military Region, in a heavily guarded underground fortification.
Xiao Yuanwang, who had a gloomy face, was pacing back and forth, and in the corner of the room, two officers with the rank of colonel were standing there, one was tall and thin, the long one was quite handsome, but his face was a little pale, one was a little shorter, but he was more sturdy, his skin was dark, and the whole person was like a dagger out of the sheath, with a sharp edge.
Xiao Yuanwang, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eagle eyes.
"All those who refuse to cooperate will be killed, and I have always been worried about Chang'an, especially that prince, you must be guarded, can you work together to kill him!" Xiao looked at the two people from afar.
"According to the information provided by the capital, according to the inference of the combat power of that General Wang when he was in the capital, I am afraid that he has already reached the fifth level of the awakener, and the fact that he successfully killed the sixth-level mutant in the Western Frontier Desert a few days ago is enough to prove the previous inference, to kill a fifth-level awakened person, even if there are two more awakened people of our strength, I am afraid that there will be a considerable risk." Tall and thin warrior said.
"You can't kill it?"
"Yes, such a powerful person is exactly the object we want to woo, and we must not be an enemy unless we have to!"
"Wooing?!" Xiao Yuanwang's eyes narrowed, "Then you have to be on the right path!" ”
Jingle bell, the phone on the table suddenly rang, Xiao Yuanwang walked to the phone, looked at the phone number, did not answer it immediately, but frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Zhao Nanbei of Chang'an."
"Did he know the phone number before?"
"I used to call him on this phone."
"Don't pick it up, it's possible that he's determining your current location." The tall and thin officer thought for a moment and said, "Can this person pull over?" ”
"He is Pang Yuanzhi's hardcore cronies, and he couldn't kill him together last time for some reason, and it's a big trouble to stay."
"Then let Wei Hu run and end this trouble." The tall and thin man said to the low, sturdy officer beside him.
"This has to be carefully considered, Chang'an City is his territory, there are many eyes and ears, and it is close to Xianyang, if you meet the prince, the situation will not be good."
"It's hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, they definitely wouldn't have thought that we would make such a move today, and Wei Hu is good at assassination, and he has the ability to jump in a small space, I think you can give it a try, and the soldiers are very fast, if you want to go, go quickly."
In the city of Chang'an, within the military command center.
Zhao Nanbei slowly hung up the phone, his brows furrowed.
"How's it going, Commander?" The interviewer was a lieutenant colonel in his thirties, with a long face, big ears, and bright eyes, and a birthmark the size of a thumb on his left cheek.
"No one answered."
"Aren't you mistaken?"
"Of course not, maybe he's gone somewhere else."
"He has just taken over Lancheng, and there are many dissatisfaction with the troops below, and there must be a lot of things to deal with, so he will not change his office and residence frequently, perhaps because of another reason, he did not answer the phone." The resident lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying.
"What is the reason?"
"He was afraid that we would track him to his current location through the phone signal he was using." (To be continued......)
