Chapter 202: The Qu clan was forced to rebel
Zhao Cong's plan was to use the name of his county guard to recruit Qu Bojun to the county guard's mansion, and then take this opportunity to get rid of him directly in the mansion.
Of course, if this is done, the Qu clan will definitely not give up, and it is likely that the Jiukou River will be overturned immediately.
But even so, Zhao Cong has nothing to fear now, because with Wang Yongzhen and them in Jiukoujiang, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch themselves being killed by the Qu clan.
After Qu Bojun received Zhao Cong's invitation, he immediately felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Since he made the secret agent in Qi Fengke's apartment clear more than half a month ago, this Zhao Cong has always been very low-key.
As soon as the people from Yingdu arrived, he first ordered himself to mobilize the garrison, and now this order-like invitation came, which was obvious, and there was an unknown conspiracy hidden in it.
In such an extraordinary period, Qu Bojun is very cautious about anything and does not dare to make decisions without permission.
Therefore, he still first told Qu Yanqian about Zhao Cong's invitation to him.
Qu Bojun didn't expect that not long after the messenger went, Qu Yanqian actually came in person.
After meeting, Qu Yanqian bluntly concluded that Zhao Cong must be trying to be unfavorable to Qu Bojun, and this was a conspiracy of his.
Qu Yanqian was only able to see through Zhao Cong's conspiracy at once, and it was also because of the appearance of Wang Yongzhen and them in Yingdu.
At this time, Zhao Cong suddenly made such abnormal behaviors in a row, and anyone could see that this guy had absolutely no good intentions.
According to Qu Yanqian's instructions, Qu Bojun replied to Zhao Cong on the grounds that he was unwell and could not go to the appointment.
Zhao Cong didn't expect that Qu Bojun actually refused his invitation, and he also realized that the other party was likely to see through his conspiracy.
Therefore, he thought that since the matter was almost clear, he would no longer hide it, and directly sent several of his killers to assassinate Qu Bojun.
The entire border garrison of Jiukoujiang was in the hands of Qu Bojun.
If Qu Bojun died suddenly, before Yingdu's order, Zhao Cong would be able to temporarily replace Qu Bojun in control of the entire border garrison as the supreme administrator of Jiukoujiang.
For this reason, Zhao Cong put all his energy on dealing with Qu Bojun for his own personal interests.
However, Wang Yongzhen and the other people who came from Yingdu were not prepared to deal with the Qu clan at all, and the purpose of their trip was completely just for Bai Yulu.
Three days after Wang Yongzhen arrived at Jiukoujiang, he realized that Zhao Cong's behavior was somewhat abnormal.
Since arriving at the Jiukou River, Zhao Cong only talked about Bai Yulu to them on the first day, and then he has always focused on the Qu clan.
Wang Yongzhen knew that in the Fengchu Kingdom, the only one who dared to openly oppose the Zhao clan was the Qu clan, which was located on the border with the southeast.
Moreover, in the following two days, Zhao Cong never reported anything to himself about Bai Yulu.
Subsequently, he asked Zhao Zhengqing, the third elder of the Zhao clan, to go to Zhao Cong to learn about Bai Yulu's current situation.
However, what Wang Yongzhen didn't expect was that this Zhao Cong didn't know Bai Yulu's specific situation now, but he only knew that he was in the Qifeng Keyu Apartment, and he didn't leave Jiukoujiang.
What made Wang Yongzhen even more angry was that this Zhao Cong actually told Zhao Zhengqing that he had sent his killers to assassinate Qu Bojun, the commander of the Jiukoujiang border garrison.
Although Wang Yongzhen did not object, if it did not affect their deal with Bai Yulu, he would make some moves against the Qu clan.
However, it has not yet reached the point where the entire Qu clan will be forced to rebel at such a time.
After Wang Yongzhen listened to Zhao Zhengqing's report, he immediately ordered someone to find Zhao Cong, reprimanded him fiercely, and ordered him not to have a fundamental conflict with the Qu clan for the time being, and immediately use all his energy on Bai Yulu's body.
Regarding Wang Yongzhen, the giant soul of the Soul Demon Palace, although Zhao Cong did not care about his orders and reprimands in his heart, on the surface, he still did not dare to have any disrespect.
Wang Yongzhen would not have thought that although Zhao Cong respectfully accepted his orders on the surface, he completely ignored his words below.
Three days later, Wang Yongzhen was angry that Zhao Cong was unable to provide him with Bai Yulu's situation, and decided to let his subordinates and Zhao Zhengqing and others go to check the situation in person.
I didn't expect that Zhao Zhengqing and the others had just gone out, and it didn't take long for them to bring back an amazing news.
Qu Bojun, commander of the Jiukoujiang Frontier Garrison, was assassinated to death by several unknown people last night.
This morning, Zhao Cong, in the name of the Jiukoujiang County Guard, ordered all the garrisons to accept his orders.
However, things changed abruptly again, and the patriarch of the Qu clan suddenly stood up and escorted out a murderer who assassinated Qu Bojun last night, and this person confessed on the spot, everything was on Zhao Cong's orders.
Zhao Cong didn't expect that things would change like this, so he used the name of Zhao Yi in public to charge the entire Qu clan with a rebellion.
For Zhao Cong's behavior, it seems that the Qu clan has long been prepared, and immediately detained Zhao Cong, and constantly affirmed to the entire Jiukoujiang garrison that Zhao Cong assassinated Qu Bojun's commander without authorization.
Zhao Cong was not detained, he brought more than a dozen warriors, including two martial artists above the third turn, so he successfully escaped from the barracks.
However, before he returned to the county guard, the Qu clan raised the banner of raising the clan to oppose the Fengchu State, and claimed that if Zhaoyi did not give an explanation to the Qu clan and the Jiukoujiang garrison, he would unite the Baiyue tribes and the Yueqi State to separate the Jiukoujiang from the Fengchu State.
When such a sudden incident occurred, Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing could only report the matter to Zhao Yi as soon as possible, except for being angry and ordering someone to get Zhao Cong back as soon as possible.
What made Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing even more angry was that Zhao Cong, this guy, suddenly didn't know his trace, and seemed to have fled and disappeared, and the people of the Zhao clan and the Soul Demon Hall searched the entire Jiukou River, but they didn't find anyone from Zhao Cong.
What made Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing feel very strange was that after the Qu clan openly rebelled, they did not send troops to occupy the county guard, nor did they surround it.
Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing were very puzzled, and they didn't know why the Qu clan did this. In the end, they believed that it should be the reason why the Qu clan was afraid of Wang Yongzhen that would be helpless against the county guard.
However, something more serious happened, five days later, the 60,000 troops of the Baiyue Wu people suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the southern river divergence, and there were nearly a thousand warships, which could attack the Jiukou River at any time.
Two days later, the 100,000-strong army of the Yueqi State also appeared on the border of the Jiukou River, putting on a posture of being ready to attack at any time.
All of a sudden, the entire Jiukou River was immediately covered with battle clouds, and a big battle seemed to be about to break out.
Wang Yongzhen and the others, who were in Jiukoujiang City, realized at this time that the matter was much more serious than they imagined, and if it continued like this, Jiukoujiang would really be separated from Fengchu Country.
If such a thing really happens, even if the Zhao clan has already controlled the power of the entire Fengchu Country, it will also make the Zhao clan fall from the power level of the Fengchu Country because of this incident.
Zhao Yi's reply has not yet arrived, and what makes Wang Yongzhen even more anxious is that Zhao Cong, the culprit, actually lost all traces after the incident, and at this time, even his shadow has not been found.
Wang Yongzhen asked people to inquire secretly, and Zhao Cong was not arrested by the people of the Qu clan, but he himself disappeared for no reason.
Therefore, Wang Yongzhen suspected that this Zhao Cong saw that something was going on, so he fled timidly and fearfully.
The one who is even more anxious than Wang Yongzhen is Zhao Zhengqing, as the third elder of the Zhao clan, he is more anxious than anyone else about what happened in Jiukoujiang.
After the incident, he had already told Wang Yongzhen that he would hand over Zhaocong to the Qu clan to calm down the incident.
However, he never thought that Zhao Cong was so cowardly, and he fled immediately after the incident.
Moreover, the incident of the past ten days has passed, and the letter sent to Yingdu by the letter harrier in the clan has not received a reply from Zhao Yi, which makes Zhao Zhengqing worry and suspect that something may have happened to Yingdu, so Zhao Yi did not reply in time.
Zhao Zhengqing told Wang Yongzhen about his worries, and after listening to his words, Wang Yongzhen couldn't help but suspect that Zhaoyi in Yingdu might really have a problem.
Zhaoyi did have a situation, although he received the news of Jiukoujiang, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
The mysterious figure of the Black God Terrace, whom he had always been very afraid of, suddenly appeared in Yingdu again and asked him about Bai Yulu's whereabouts.
Because Zhao Yi didn't know whether the person he was afraid of was coming to Xingshi to ask about the crime, or if he really wanted to look for Bai Yulu, he lied that he didn't know Bai Yulu's whereabouts.
However, Zhao Yi didn't expect that the other party didn't know whether he believed him or not, but asked him to find out Bai Yulu's whereabouts as soon as possible.
Although Zhao Yi didn't know what this person from the Black God Terrace was looking for Bai Yulu to do, he understood that he would never let her see Bai Yulu, otherwise, the matter of secretly chasing and killing Bai Yulu would be completely exposed.
It was at this time that Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing came with news from Jiukoujiang that Zhao Cong, a bastard, actually forced the entire Qu clan to rebel, and he himself fled after the incident.
Zhao Yi couldn't wait to tear Zhao Cong to pieces, this guy actually caused such a catastrophe for himself at such a time.
What he didn't expect was that news came from Jiukoujiang again, and the Baiyue Wu people and the Yueqi Kingdom suddenly reacted at this time, and they could start a war against the Fengchu Kingdom at any time.
At this time, as long as Zhao Cong is found, the matter can be completely solved.
And what Zhao Yi in Yingdu, as well as Wang Yongzhen and Zhao Zhengqing in Jiukoujiang didn't know was that Zhao Cong was actually in the Qifeng Guest Apartment in Jiukoujiang City, but he had lost his freedom and was placed under house arrest by Bai Yulu in the Moon Wind Courtyard.
