Chapter 120 of the final volume

As for how to assassinate Xiao Xiang in Zhendi, Qiu Zhen did not directly participate, but handed it over to Zhang Xin to arrange.

Assassinating the prince is not a trivial matter, and Qiu Zhen is the prime minister of the Wind Country, in case the matter is exposed, the entire Wind Country will not be able to get out of it, for the sake of conservatism, he chooses to stay out of the matter.

Zhang Xin is very willing to accept this task, he is not afraid of taking risks, even if he is exposed, the king will protect him, if once it is done, he has made a great achievement, why not do it?

After thinking about it repeatedly, he found a good candidate, Gao Mucheng of the Dark Arrow.

In the past, Gao Mucheng was ordered to lurk in Zhaoyang and secretly protect Xiao Xiang, relatively speaking, he knew Xiao Xiang much deeper than others, and he had also saved Xiao Xiang, and it was relatively easy to get close to Xiao Xiang's side.

Out of these considerations, Zhang Xin decided to use Gao Mucheng to do this.

Gao Mucheng belongs to the dark arrow, and Zhang Xin, a civil official, belongs to two systems, Zhang Xin can't control his head, and he has no right to order him to do things, but Zhang Xin's grade is much higher than Gao Mucheng.

As the internal history of the Feng Country, Zhang Xin is a high-ranking official from the first grade, a veritable important minister of the imperial court, and a member of the core of the power of the Feng Country.

In front of Zhang Xin, Gao Mucheng, who was so arrogant in Ping, also behaved respectfully, and did not dare to have the slightest slackness.

In the lobby of Zhang's mansion, Gao Mucheng politely bowed his hand and asked, "I don't know what Lord Zhang has to say when he comes to the next official?"

Zhang Xin smiled, didn't immediately cut to the chase, and asked sideways: "I heard that Master Gao is very familiar with King Chuan?"

Gao Mucheng took a deep breath, in the Wind Country, it is a great taboo to have anything to do with the King of Chuan, and he hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan used to be ordered by the king to secretly lurk in Zhaoyang and protect the king of Sichuan, but that was the order of the king, and there was no personal relationship between Xiaguan and the king of Sichuan......"

Zhang Xin waved his hand with a smile and said, "Master Gao doesn't have to be nervous, this official came to you this time, not to investigate your relationship with King Chuan, but to deal with something important that Lord Gao needs to deal with." If this matter can be handled well, Lord Gao will be a great hero of my Fengguo, and he will have a bright future if he becomes an official, but then again, if things are messed up......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and did not continue, but the meaning was obvious.

Gao Mucheng's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't know what Lord Zhang wants to do?"

"Go kill someone!"

Why is it so difficult to kill people as a matter of routine? He asked curiously, "Who are you going to kill?"

"Chuan, Wang!" Zhang Xin said word by word.

"Who?King Chuan?" Gao Mucheng's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and he looked at Zhang Xin in disbelief.

"That's right, it's the King of Sichuan!" Zhang Xin said quietly: "Now the Sichuan people are becoming more and more threatening to our country, and the King of Sichuan is the culprit, the King of Sichuan is not dead, our country is worried, and the king will also have trouble sleeping, and he must be eradicated." This is not only the meaning of the official, but also the meaning of the left minister, Lord Gao, do you understand?"

Gao Mucheng was stunned there, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

He has countless blood debts in his hands, and it has long been inappropriate to kill someone, but this time Zhang Xin asked him to kill the King of Sichuan, which is different from killing others. After staying for a long time, he came back to his senses and asked, "Lord Zhang, does the king know about this?"

"The king is the king of a country, and there are some things that the king is of course difficult to say, but even if the king himself doesn't say it, shouldn't we, as courtiers, understand the king's mind and solve problems for the king?

Gao Mucheng was silent, in this way, this was not the king's order, but the meaning of Zhang Xin and the prime minister.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Zhang Xin said slowly: "This matter is very important, it needs to be kept absolutely confidential, Lord Gao should know in his heart, since you know about this matter, if you can't agree, in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to talk to others." ”

Gao Mucheng's body was shocked, he hurriedly lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said urgently: "King Chuan has been assassinated several times, and he is already surrounded by masters and strict guards, even if Xia Guan has saved King Chuan before, it is difficult to have a chance to get close to her, let alone kill her?"

Zhang Xin smiled, waved his hand, and said: "At this point, Lord Gao doesn't have to worry, the specific plan, Zuo Xiang and the official have already thought about it for you, you just need to act according to the order." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Gao Mucheng, and said, "After reading this letter, destroy it immediately, and never fall into the hands of others!"

"Xia Guan understands!" Gao Mucheng hurriedly stepped forward and took the envelope.

Watching Gao Mucheng carefully put the envelope into his arms, Zhang Xin said leisurely: "The tall man is in the dark arrow, and the end of the fight is not a long-term solution, this official can assure you that as long as you can handle this matter, Zuo Xiang and this official will do their best to protect you in front of the king, and the high-ranking official will be rich and noble for a lifetime!"

Gomu

Cheng Cheng was upright, bowed down, and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

Zhang Xin nodded with a smile, then picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly.

Sadachi, West Soup. Half a month later, the disaster grain mobilized from the Zhenhuan border arrived in Xitang, and the Hundred Battles Army was also generous, and after receiving the order of the imperial court, it actually allocated 200,000 stone of military food at once, and sent a large number of jīng soldiers to transport food. The Hundred Battles Army behaved so actively this time, of course, it had something to do with the fact that it was the Sadato who was affected, after all, the Hundred Battles Army was a large army composed purely of Sadajin.

Tang Yin was very satisfied with the speed of the grain transportation of the Hundred Battles Army, and soon after the military rations arrived in Xitang, he personally set off with the grain team and went to Heping County, which was affected by the disaster.

Things were really expected by Qiu Zhen, seeing that Tang Yin personally went to the disaster relief, and the Sichuan people were not stupid, they immediately understood his intention to win people's hearts, and then, after urgent consultations, Xiao Xiang also decided to personally go to Linqiao County, Zhennan, which was affected by the disaster.

Tang Yin walked away with the grain transport team and left Xitang less than a hundred miles, and Xiao Xiang's team, which also went to disaster relief, caught up with them.

Xiao Xiang's disaster relief food was directly transported from Sichuan to Linqiao County, and there was no need to go through Xitang, so Xiao Xiang went to disaster relief lightly, and the speed was much faster than Tang Yin's grain transportation team.

After catching up with the grain transportation team of the Wind Country, Xiao Xiang also deliberately found Tang Yin and said with a smile: "Brother Wang suddenly said goodbye, but let me find it!"

Tang Yin couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, Xiao Xiang's news was really well-informed, she had just left Xitang, and she caught up.

His face remained silent and said: "The tide of the season has skyrocketed, Heping County has been seriously affected, and there are many displaced people, as a 'monarch', I should go to inspect." ”

He deliberately accentuated the word monarch, which was also to remind Xiao Xiang that she was only holding the title of prince now, but she was no longer the king of a country.

Xiao Xiang nodded again and again, and said: "What Brother Wang said is extremely true, Linqiao County was affected by the disaster, and the Son of Heaven could not come in person, and I, the prince, could only go to the disaster relief on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Hmph!" Tang Yin snorted and turned his head away, not bothering to pay attention to her. Xiao Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said to himself: "Brother Wang is really smart, he just occupied Zhendi and went to the disaster relief in person, this trip will definitely be able to gain people's hearts, but the speed of Brother Wang's grain transportation team is too slow, even if I want to accompany Brother Wang, I really don't have that patience, it seems that I can only take the first step!" After speaking, her face was full of helplessness, but her eyes were full of smiles, and she deliberately arched her hand to Tang Yin.

Listening to Xiao Xiang's sarcasm, and then looking at her triumphant appearance, Tang Yin was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.

Xiao Xiang didn't go to disaster relief early, and she didn't go to disaster relief late, but she rushed to go with her, obviously she made such a decision temporarily after hearing the news that she was going to disaster relief. borrowed his own ideas, but in the end ran in front of himself, which was too unfair, and Tang Yin was of course indignant in his heart.

He took a deep breath, reminded with bad intentions, or cursed, and said: "Sister Wang, be careful, the people in the disaster area are hungry and emotional, and it is inevitable that there will be riots.

Xiao Xiang's entourage was Qingyi's cavalry, in fact, there were quite a few people, there were five thousand people, and there were a large number of guards among them, those were all spiritual cultivators, and there were also two elders of Shenchi, even if there was a riot, there was nothing to be afraid of.

She nodded with a smile and said in a brisk tone, "Thank you Brother Wang for reminding me, I will be careful." Say goodbye first!" After speaking, she urged the war horse of *, led a team of cavalry horses, and galloped away in front of Tang Yin.

Looking at the back of the Sichuan army's horse team, a strategist grabbed the reins of the war horse, urged the horse to come to Tang Yin's side, and said fiercely: "King, the King of Sichuan is too much!"

Seeing that Xiao Xiang had led the horse team away, Tang Yin was not so angry, he smiled indifferently and said: "The villain is ambitious, especially if this villain is still a woman, she just doesn't have a long tail, otherwise she can go to the sky!"

It was originally quite annoying, but when Tang Yin said this, everyone around couldn't help but laugh.

Yin Lan replied proudly: "Even if the King of Sichuan goes to the disaster relief first, it is useless, the disaster grain sent from Sichuan to Linqiao County has not yet arrived, it is reported that the disaster food transported by the Sichuan people has not left Sichuan until now, compared with our speed, it is far behind." ”

Tang Yin frowned when he heard this, the disaster food of the Sichuan people had not arrived, but Xiao Xiang went to the disaster area first, isn't this nonsense?

When the time comes, the victims will not be able to see the food, so must they not take their anger and resentment out on Xiao Xiang's head? He asked suspiciously: "Yin Lan, does the Sichuan army have a garrison near Linqiao County?"

Yin Lan was stunned, then quickly took out the map from the package, unfolded it, and nodded: "Yes, at the junction of Linqiao County and Shima County, there are five corps of the Third Army of Sichuan Country stationed, and there is a ferry, it is estimated that it is to defend our army from crossing the river to the south!"

"Oh!" Tang Yin replied, secretly relieved, no wonder Xiao Xiang dared to go to the disaster area with only five thousand people, it turned out that there was a garrison in the local area.
