Gao Guang solved the second group of people sent by Gao Cang, which meant that he had no room to turn back, and now whether he was alive or dead, all his hopes could only be pinned on Shao Xi's promise.

Was he right? In fact, the answer will be found soon.

And the choice made by Zhao Huajun is already destined to bury himself and his entire family.

Most of the day has passed, and it is already afternoon, Zhao Huajun and Gao Cang still have not received news from Gao Guang and his party, and now even the second batch of people sent out have lost the news. They felt a little bad at this time, if the probability of an accident for the first group of people was 50%, then it was definitely no longer a coincidence that the second group of people lost news.

"Gao Cang, why hasn't the person you sent out to find out the news come back yet? Could it be that there was something like the first batch of people? I trusted you to do this, is that how you do it? Now we don't know whether Shao Xi is alive or dead, and we don't even know whether the person we sent out is alive or dead. It looks like things are out of our hands, and you'd better find a way to fix it, or you won't be happy. ”

Gao Cang's heart was more panicked than anyone else at this time, he was originally attached to the Zhao family, and now that things have not been done, let alone what the Lord Shao will do with him in the future, even the Zhao family will not let him go. Thinking about doing things for the Zhao family, but now he has to prevent the Zhao family from taking his own life, and he is more aggrieved than anyone else, but who can blame him?

"Your Excellency! The manpower I have arranged at the ferry, although the people we sent out to inquire about the news did not come back, but Shao Xi also did not come to Yujiang City. Thinking about it, if Gao Guang and the others missed, whether he Shao Xi knew that it was arranged by us or not, he would definitely come to Yujiang City today to find us, or come to ask for help, or come to ask for help, and he would never disappear so silently, so adults don't have to worry too much, maybe he has been ordered to go to Huangquan at this time. ”

When Zhao Huajun heard Gao Cang's words, his face softened slightly, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned to Gao Cang and asked, "Is the old guy who came with him still in the city?" ”

"In! Xiaguan sent people to follow this old man early this morning, and went out shopping in the morning, and went to a tavern to drink at noon. Since this man is still in the city, and he has not shown any precautions, I think things may just be complicated by our own thoughts. There were only two people in Yujiang County who came to Yujiang County this time, and there were no helpers, so it was impossible for them to have any ability to make big waves. ”

Zhao Huajun's face sank, "It is impossible to have the ability to make big waves?" Do you know that he has the imperial mandate? If this person is in addition to it, if he doesn't do it cleanly and leaves his tail, the edict in his hand can wipe out my Zhao family's bones, I think you still don't know the seriousness of this matter. ”

Oh, yes! Although only Shao Xi and the others came, this guy had the imperial edict on him. If he not only destroyed the edict, but also planted the blame on Cui Qi and others, it would be reasonable, if he really didn't get rid of it, and let him take the edict to the Zhao family to settle accounts, the Zhao family would only have the option of rebellion.

Although the 2,000 private troops raised by Nanshan were not raised by their own families, they could only jump over the wall in a hurry and raise troops to protect themselves when they had no choice but to do so.

"My lord, should we inform Nanshan to be prepared? Just in case. ”

Zhao Huajun was taken aback by Gao Can's words, and looked at Gao Can with an incredible look.

"You mean ......?"

"That's right! Although there is no news yet, since adults are not at ease, I think it is necessary for us to prepare in advance. If Shao Xi has been eliminated by us, the rest of the things will be easy to do, but if something really goes wrong, we can't tie our hands, since we have soldiers in our hands, we can defend the city and then ask for other laws. I don't know who this army is for, but I do know that some big man in Kyoto must have entrusted it to him for a great deal in the future, and if something happened to him at this time, I would not be able to save these two thousand soldiers and horses sooner or later. In a hurry, we might as well use this soldier and horse to protect ourselves, and the adult can only be used by the big man in the future if he keeps a useful body. ”

Zhao Huajun was entangled, and at this time, he was pacing back and forth in the room like a trapped beast in a cage, thinking of all kinds of possibilities and the feasibility of various methods in his mind.

The use of soldiers and horses is not child's play, and if it is not done well, it will be ruined and ruined, and the family will be ruined.

Whether the one in the capital can keep himself or not, in fact, he has no bottom in his heart.

At the beginning, his Zhao family was able to cover the sky with one hand in Yujiang County and do whatever he wanted, all with the help of that person's power, and none of the supervising imperial histories sent to Yujiang County from Kyoto over the years could do anything to his Zhao family, all thanks to the one in the capital.

At the beginning, there was only one condition, the Zhao family secretly raised a private army for him, as long as this matter was done, the Zhao family's accumulation of wealth in Yujiang County would be suppressed by this even if someone played impeachment.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhao family has indeed had some mentality over the years, feeling that no one in Yujiang County can shake its status, and completely regards Yujiang County as their own private property.

But in any case, I never thought that now that such an official of the "Jing Chengsi" came to take away half of the Zhao family's industrial interests in Yujiang County, and Zhao Huajun arranged for someone to assassinate Shao Xi, which is indeed a bit hasty to say.

This is the illusion that nothing can be done at a low cost of long-term mistakes, and this illusion is precisely the deadliest.

Now, if this private army is really used, it is equivalent to exposing everything to the world, whether the Zhao family can be saved or not, the one in Kyoto will regard himself as an outcast, and from now on he will dissociate himself from being implicated.

At that time, the Zhao family had no choice but to raise troops to rebel in Yujiang County. But the Zhao family has always only wanted money, and never thought about the world, if they lose their lives, no matter how much money they have, it's useless!

But if you think about it the other way around, if Shao Xi really didn't die and came back to ask for the guilt, the soldiers and horses in the city were all in the hands of Sun Jue and others, and they would definitely take the opportunity to completely eradicate their Zhao family from Yujiang County, and at that time, his Zhao family would have no power to fight back.

Is it really just sitting still? If it's all death, why not die at the end? Maybe you can get a chance to survive.

Tangled, very tangled.

It seems that no matter how you choose now, there is no way out, and the best situation at the moment is that Shao Xi is successfully assassinated, then everything can be carried out according to the original plan.

But the two groups of people sent out were all sunk in the sea, and there was no news at all, such a bad omen was the fundamental reason why Zhao Huajun and the others were like ants on a hot pot at this moment.

"The people who were sent out early in the morning have not reported the news so far, and it seems that they are very lucky. How many people do you still have? This time, they were all sent out, and they had to take this person's life. As long as he dies, all things will be settled, and as for the use of soldiers and horses, it is not a trivial matter, and we must not act rashly. ”

Gao Cang actually understood Zhao Huajun's concerns, the soldiers and horses in Nanshan have been well hidden, in order to succeed in one fell swoop in the future, if they are used at this time, there will be no way back.

It can be seen that Zhao Huajun still has a glimmer of hope for the previous plan, so he can only do what he wants now.

"There are still more than a dozen of these assassins recruited from the rivers and lakes, although their martial arts are not as good as Gao Guang, but if they are all sent out, even if a dozen or so people are all thrown in, they can exchange their lives for him. I've always had a guess, is this Lord Shao good at martial arts? It was just hidden in front of us and not let us know. ”

When Zhao Huajun heard this, his head "buzzed". If it is really as Gao Cang said, if this Lord Shao understands martial arts, then even Gao Guang has no return, how high is this adult's martial arts?

Did the first two groups of people die at his hands? Is there any point in sending these people now? If you can't kill him, won't you give the other party more leverage?

Just now, I was entangled in the use of soldiers and horses, and now I began to struggle with whether to send a third group of people? The don't feel unwilling, and if they do, they are afraid of adding it again and increasing their incriminating evidence. But is there a turning back now? Even if the third batch is not sent out, won't the first two batches be evidence of guilt?

Therefore, people who can succeed are people who are decisive and decisive, and people like Zhao Huajun who look forward and are indecisive in the face of things will not be able to achieve great things, perhaps because his Zhao family has lived too smoothly in Yujiang County over the years, and the perennial pampering has made him lose the psychological quality and thinking ability to deal with the crisis.

Gao Cang looked at Zhao Huajun's appearance at this time, and secretly despised in his heart.

He has been inferior to the Zhao family all these years, and he is driven by others, but Gao Cang thinks that he is stronger than the people of the Zhao family in terms of knowledge and ability, and it is only because of the Zhao family's strength that he has no choice but to become dependent.

Now seeing that Zhao Huajun is hesitant in trouble, he really feels that he is not worthy of being the head of the Zhao family, and if he talks about his ability, he should be the most capable person in the Zhao family.

"Since the adults don't want to use this army of Nanshan at the moment, then I'll arrange for someone to investigate the news again! However, I still recommend that adults prepare early, not necessarily so, but it is still necessary to start preparing in advance just in case, adults, you think about it, I will retire first. ”

After saying that, Gao Cang Shili left the county guard mansion after that, now this matter is a little out of control, he must make up for it as much as possible according to his own ideas, he plans to send out the third batch of all the people, and that Lord Shao must die.

Zhao Huajun stood in place with his eyes straight, he finally knew that he had overlooked one very important thing, that is, he was not sure whether Shao Xi would be able to do martial arts, and whether the person he sent died in Shao Xi's hands or was captured by Shao Xi?

If he is dead, it is better to say, if there is a living mouth in his hands, maybe it will be a personal certificate in the future, this assassination of the imperial court officials is not as simple as his usual greed for ink and taxes and silver, and the oppression of powerless people, this is to lose his head.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huajun couldn't help but shudder, it seems that the Zhao family is really going to have this catastrophe this time!

Gao Cang didn't dare to delay, and found the assassins he recruited from the rivers and lakes to explain the matter, this time, regardless of the cost, he must kill Shao Xi, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

At this time, Gao Guang in the yarn mill also felt that the crisis was coming.
