Chapter 314: Assassination
Song Chenggong came soon, the failure of the pursuit of Xia Min made Song Chenggong suffer a lot of hanging, Zhao Hao had not summoned him to the palace for a while, and there were even rumors that Song Chenggong's position was unstable, and he was afraid that he would be dismissed by Emperor Qin. During this time, Song Chenggong worked hard to get credit, and the plum blossom guard led by Ji Yan, who blocked him that day, caused Ji Yan's men to suffer heavy injuries, Ji Yan saw that the situation was not good, and he had retreated to Wu, not because he didn't want to go back to Western Chu, but because he couldn't go back, and the border between Qin and Chu had now been completely stared at by the Thousand Scales.
Now that Emperor Qin has finally summoned him again, how could Song Chenggong not arrive immediately, so he hated to fly directly into the palace without giving birth to his wings.
"I order you, no matter what means you use, find out the details of Gu Fengxun's person."
"Obey."
Song Chenggong held back the ecstasy in his heart, His Majesty is willing to use him, which means that he will not be dismissed, this is his last chance, and he must seize it.
Here he led the order to leave with the front foot, and Yun Chengjun arrived with the back foot, so silently that even the attendants guarding outside the hall did not notice that he was already standing in front of Zhao Hao.
Every emperor is guarded by a master, just as Ling Han has an old servant by his side, and Zhao Hao's side is Yun Chengjun.
"I want you to go...... Kill someone. ”
Zhao Hao stared at Yun Chengjun, his black pupils were condensed with anger and murderous intent.
The name was not spoken, but written on the holy decree, and the three words on the back of the paper were forceful, and each stroke seemed to carry endless hatred and fear.
Yun Chengjun's eyes shrank, bowed slightly, took the holy decree, and then disappeared silently as when he came.
Zhao Agarwood was thrown by Zhao Wenqing in Western Chu, and Ling Han did not send her back, but instead summoned the world that the King of Western Chu Jin and the Duke of Agarwood of Qin State were married, not only began to arrange their marriage, but also handed the marriage letter to Emperor Qin, which is a marriage letter, not a marriage letter, of course the meaning is different, the latter is a request for marriage, but the former is directly equivalent to a letter of appointment.
Emperor Qin had no way to object to this, he made a fuss about elopement, and he made such a fuss at the gate of Xijing City, which made everyone in the world know, Zhao Hao even pinched his nose and had to admit this family matter, Xichu and Qin Guo couldn't afford to lose that face.
As for the alliance between the two countries, is this considered a success, or is it not successful? No one can tell. Ordinary people only look at the surface, even if the marriage is successful, even if the alliance is successful, they naturally run to tell each other, and they are full of joy, only those people in the courts of the two countries are very pessimistic, and they don't know whether this kind of marriage is a marriage or a feud.
However, the biggest reaction was none other than the Chu State. The Emperor of Chu was originally crazy, when the news of the marriage between the two countries came out, the Emperor of Chu actually sent troops to attack the land of Wu, directly hit the state of Qin by surprise, swallowed several cities in the land of Wu, and made up for the cities lost here in Western Chu from the land of Wu.
At this moment, the already chaotic Wu land suddenly became even more chaotic, Qin State relieved itself, sent troops to help, and tried to take the city back from the hands of Chu State, Chu State fought on both sides quite hard, so it simply did not defend, directly slaughtered the city, and did the thing of killing and looting and burning it all, and when the Qin State cavalry arrived, there were only a few ruins that had become a scorched earth, as well as countless charred corpses.
This tragedy is almost enough to fight with Emperor Wu's original behavior of opening the floodgates and releasing water, and the cruelty of Emperor Chu shocked the world, and aroused the indignation of the people of Wudi, which directly led to more and more people defecting to the Sword Warrior Army. The rapid growth of the Sword Warrior Army made the Qin State even more fearful, and in the choice of starting a war with the Chu State or suppressing the rebellion first, the Qin Emperor chose to quell the rebellion, and there was no other expression for the atrocities of the Chu State except verbal condemnation. This made the people of Wu more dissatisfied with the Qin State, and the voice of resistance to the rule of the Qin State became higher and higher, so that there was a situation of "who is not anti-Qin in Wu Land", in the choice of revenge to the Chu State and the expulsion of the Qin people to restore my homeland, the Wu people did not hesitate to choose to resist Qin first, and then resist Chu after the restoration of the country.
Zhao Hao lost an excellent opportunity to subdue the hearts of Wu Di, but he didn't care, at the moment, he only cared about two things, first, whether Gu Fengxun was Shen Bikong or not? Or is he just a chess piece pushed out by Shen Bikong. Second, when will Shen Bikong die.
But little progress has been made on either of these things. Zhao Wenqing and Zhao Shenxiang's uncle and nephew had infighting, which directly cut off the last bit of Qianliangwei's foundation in Western Chu, which caused Song Chenggong to be unable to get any information from the hidden pile in Western Chu at all, because there was no secret pile at all, he could only take a group of henchmen to sneak into Western Chu secretly, but unfortunately, he couldn't sneak in at all.
Because the relationship between the Qin-Chu border is particularly tense at the moment, while he ordered the Thousand Scale Guards to stare at the Qin-Chu border, Fengyitai also improved the defense of the Qin-Chu border accordingly, and Song Chenggong sent two groups of people to go over in disguise to explore the way, but they were all recognized by Fengyitai, so he could only turn around and try to pass through the Chu State and then enter Western Chu. However, the war on the border between the two Chu has been raging for days, and the fighting has not stopped until now, and even the border trade has been interrupted.
Then the only way to go to sea from Wu is to go to the sea through the sea route to Yuedi, and then enter Xichu. But the problem is that the rebellion in Wu is now in full swing, the Jianyong army is unstoppable, and the Qin State has lost control of the coastal area of Wudi, and several exit seas are now in the hands of the Jianyong army.
Ren is Song Chenggong tried his best, but he couldn't get half a step into Xichu, and he was so anxious that his hair was about to be ripped off, but there was no way, he didn't dare to see Zhao Hao at all, so he simply pretended to have sneaked into Xichu and disappeared in the Qin State. Song Chenggong was even thinking about it, but he really couldn't do it, he made up a fake information to coax Emperor Qin.
As for Yun Chengjun, he has successfully crossed the Qin-Chu border, and at his level, it is not something that ordinary Fengyitai secret guards can detect, unless the old servant personally guards the customs and investigates, but this is obviously impossible. But the question is, without Song Chenggong's intelligence support, who is his target? Is it Gu Fengxun? Or is it the one hidden behind Gu Fengxun?
Even if he wants to kill Gu Fengxun, Yun Chengjun can't find a chance, Gu Fengxun lives in Hanguang Palace, and almost doesn't go out, even if he goes to Zongzheng Temple once in a while, it is only a few steps away from the palace gate, and there are even more masters to protect him, and there are almost no flaws to drill.
And then, unfortunately, he was targeted by the old servant.
There is a master of the same level, and he has been circling the Xichu Palace for a few days without incident, if he can't find it, the old servant can follow Huang Dewang to tell the old man to guard the tomb.
But the old servant didn't care about it, he was sent by the nervous Ling Han to protect Gu Fengxun, and the matter of arresting Yun Chengjun fell into the hands of Fan Jiujin, Fan Jiujin chased Yun Chengjun for three days, was played four times, and once almost lost his life, he was very self-aware that he knew that he was meeting a real master, and he couldn't do it alone, so he cheekily dragged Luo Feng out.
Find someone he's doing and fighting...... Of course, it depends on Master Luo.
Although Yun Chengjun is powerful, but after all, there is only one person, Song Chenggong failed to sneak into Xichu to become his helper, after several battles, in the end, Fan Jiujin and Luo Feng used the advantages of the ground snake to hit him hard, but unfortunately, he couldn't stay, Yun Chengjun still fled.
Gu Fengxun only found out about this matter after the fact, at that time, Yun Chengjun had been on the run for several days, and Fan Jiujin tried his best to dig three feet into the ground but couldn't find any trace of him, so he ran over to find Gu Fengxun for an idea.
Of course, Gu Fengxun knew about Yun Chengjun, and even knew that Helian Tingfang failed to assassinate Emperor Qin back then, and nine times out of ten, he was defeated by Yun Chengjun. It's just that he didn't expect Emperor Qin to send Yun Chengjun to assassinate him, it seems that Zhao Wenqing's return to China brought some useful news to Emperor Qin.
"He's scared."
When Gu Fengxun said these three words with a deep smile, Ling Han was annoyed and said that he wanted to retaliate with Emperor Qin, but this plan was suppressed by these three words.
"Then make him a little more afraid."
Let Emperor Qin die well, it is better to let him live than to die, Ling Han gritted his teeth, he can treat everything leniently, including Princess Yongning, who miserably harmed the Western Chu royal family, but he will never tolerate anyone having the slightest ill will towards Gu Fengxun. Emperor Qin had already killed Gu Fengxun once, and he wanted to harm him again, dreaming.
