Chapter Eighty-Nine: Clever Conspiracy (Part II)

Fenghua Temple was instantly razed to the ground by explosives, Dong Wenbing arrived with a large number of soldiers and horses, and the grimace old monster saw this situation and evacuated immediately with the remaining four people.

Dong Wenbing immediately ordered people to cordon off the scene and hurriedly put out the fire to rescue the survivors.

Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan took Kublai Khan from the tunnel dug in advance to the remote corner of Fenghua Temple a few hundred meters away.

"Wang, are you alright?" Zhang Honggang asked.

Kublai Khan patted the dust on his body and replied, "It's okay, hurry up and get down to business!"

Zhang Honggang immediately ordered people to block the exit of the tunnel with stone piles and mud, and covered the entrance of the cave with vines and dead grass to ensure that the entrance of the cave could not be found, and then quietly returned to the camp with Kublai Khan, Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan.

After Jia Rudao led his troops down the mountain, he led a team of guards to Yinziao, five miles away, which was the final place of peace with the Mongolian army, and Liu Bingzhong was already waiting for Jia Nidao there.

What happened in Fenghua Temple was actually a chain game, Liu Bingzhong took advantage of the terrain to separate the sight of the assassin and Jia Nidao, and the assassin had a panoramic view under the hill, while in Jia Nidao, he could only see Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan father and son.

Liu Bingzhong said in his letter to Jia Yidao that Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan father and son were the eyes left by the king of Mobei and wanted to get rid of them, however, he was worried about the prestige of his father and son in the army, so he thought about getting rid of the father and son by the hand of the Song army.

In order to complete the game, Liu Bingzhong deliberately explained in the letter that Zhang Rou and his son might bring their own soldiers and horses, and Kublai Khan would find a way to guide most of Zhang Rou's men and horses at the beginning of the time.

Therefore, when Jia Rudao came to Fenghua Temple from the south mountain road according to the hour, he only saw Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan father and son standing in a conspicuous place at the south gate, but did not see Kublai Khan.

Liu Bingzhong was well aware of Jia Rudao's greed for money and his temperament of rejoicing in great achievements, so he paid a large amount of bribes in advance, and after the agreement was completed, he went to Yinziao to discuss the matter of peace negotiations, and paid more honorarium at that time; and hinted in the letter that if Jia Nidao could annihilate all the few men and horses brought by Zhang Rou, he could also report to the Song court and receive rewards for his merits。

Under the banner of exterminating the Mongol army, Jia Nidao led a large number of Song troops to attack Fenghua Temple, and all the soldiers saw that Jia Nidao used explosives to kill many Mongolian soldiers, so they were blinded.

The peace negotiations were carried out in secret, and after Jia Rudao led a large number of Song troops down the mountain, he ordered the large army to be led back by General Gaoda, and he secretly took his own cronies to Yinziao.

Yinzi Pass is a mountain col with a pavilion in it, surrounded by dense forests, which can be described as an extremely secret place.

There is a mountain road winding along the mountainside to Yinzi Pass, and there is a bare place halfway up the mountainside, where there is a high cliff, and on the cliff is the Yinzi Pavilion, which stands out from the cliff, so that people can see it at a glance.

Liu Bingzhong sat in the pavilion, blowing the mountain breeze, ordering people to build a bonfire next to the pavilion, boiling hot tea, and waiting for Jia Yidao's arrival comfortably.

The kettle was steaming hot, and it was blowing with the mountain wind, and there were two large boxes in the pavilion, which were estimated to be an honorarium for Jia Yidao.

From the gazebo under the cliff, the view of the valley is in full view, hidden but beautiful, which makes people open-minded, and it is an excellent place for peace discussions.

Jia Nidao entered the mouth of Yinzi Pass, and met a group of Mongolian soldiers, and became nervous for a while, and the leading centurion stepped forward and said politely to Jia Rudao: "My general has been waiting for distinguished guests in the pavilion in front, the mountain road is difficult, and please bring a few servants to dismount and walk, and all the soldiers and horses are waiting here." ”

Jia Rudao glanced at the Mongolian army, looked at the pavilion from afar, thought about it carefully, and felt that at this time, the Mongolian army had no idea of being unfavorable to himself, so he dismounted with peace of mind, ordered the whole army to wait at the pass, and ordered four of his own guards to go to the mountain pass.

Liu Bingzhong saw Jia Rudao coming, got up and went out to greet him,

"I heard that Song Tingxin worshiped a prime minister, it is better to meet than to be famous, the minister is a distinguished guest, quickly sit inside. As he spoke, he gestured and invited respectfully.

Jia Rudao also politely returned the courtesy,

"I have also heard of General Liu's name earlier, and it is also an honor to see him today. So saying, he went inside,

The two sat opposite each other, and there were four people standing on the left and right outside the pavilion, the four people led by Jia Rudao stood with knives, and the four people led by Liu Bingzhong were obviously domestic servants and had no weapons in their hands.

After Jia Rudao saw it, he couldn't help but feel a wave of shame.

"Come, pour tea for your guests. Liu Bingzhong commanded,

Immediately, a slave outside the pavilion wrapped the handle of the kettle with a cloth towel and carried the hot tea to the pavilion.

A pot of hot tea poured out of the spout, and a lot of hot steam came out.

"Please!" Liu Bingzhong asked politely, then picked up the cup of boiling tea in front of him, blew lightly a few breaths, and took a sip, revealing a trace of comfort and nature in his gestures.

Jia Rudao also picked up the hot tea in front of him, took a sip casually and said,

"Your prince is decisive enough to kill, which really makes the old man admire. ”

Liu Bingzhong naturally knew what Jia Nidao was referring to, and for Liu Bingzhong, the arrangement of so many explosives was nothing more than an attempt to cover up the clues of the tunnels of Fenghua Temple, so that the assassins sent by the King of Mobei would be convinced of Kublai Khan's death, while for Jia Nidao, who was in the dark, it was the king's fierce killing.

Liu Bingzhong naturally couldn't tell him directly, pointed to the two big boxes behind him, and replied with a smile: "Today's matter is all thanks to the help of the ministers, please smile at these two boxes of wealth." ”

The breeze was blowing, the two of them were drinking tea in the pavilion and discussing the matter of peace in detail, Liu Bingzhong deliberately put forward the Mongolian requirements very harshly, Jia Rudao bargained, and the two were entangled in the pavilion on the matter of peace.

After Kublai Khan returned to the camp with Zhang Rou and Zhang Hongyan, he went into hiding, and secretly ordered people to prepare for the funeral immediately.

When General Dong Wenbing returned with his army, the whole army raised a white flag, planted a white streamer, and immediately mourned.

After the Grimace Old Monster and the other five returned to their residences, they talked about what happened in Fenghua Temple.

Although the five of them saw Kublai Khan killed in the Fenghua Temple, some were convinced, while others were confused.

Zhu Yunshi said: "The so-called life to see people, death to see the corpse, we have not seen the corpse of King Mo Nan with our own eyes, how can we be sure that he was really killed." ”

Dao Tuo then asked rhetorically: "With such a powerful explosive, even if it is really killed, it will be blown to pieces, dare to ask where to find the corpse?"

This is the subtlety of Liu Bingzhong's use of gunpowder to create a situation of fraudulent death, not only to destroy the clues of the tunnel, but also to cut off the clues that the assassins continue to pursue, so it is not that there is no evidence for death, but that there is no evidence for the corpse.

"Then let's go to the site of Fenghua Temple and see if we can find some clues?" Zhu Yunshi asked in a consultative tone,

Shanmensero replied: "Even if there is a clue, it will be destroyed by fire, so don't waste your energy." ”

Although he had seen it with his own eyes, the shrewd grimacing old monster still didn't dare to be careless, and he pondered all the processes of what had happened today, and he didn't seem to be able to find anything wrong, and he couldn't be sure for a while, so he said,

"Instead of arguing here, it is better to send someone to the Mongolian camp to find out the truth. ”

After hearing this, the four felt that it was very reasonable, so they stopped arguing, and Zhu Yunshi privately wanted to find the traces of Zongzheng, so she took the initiative to propose to go to the Mongolian camp to investigate, and everyone had no objection.

At night, the sky was dark, Zhu Yunshi took advantage of the night to sneak into the Mongolian military camp, into the barracks, Zhu Yunshi felt that today's precautions were obviously loose, and couldn't help but be a little curious, seeing the white belt fluttering in the army, the soldiers were wearing white scarves, and suddenly remembered the bombing of Kublai Khan in Fenghua Temple, and suddenly understood.

Zhu Yunshi saw a loosely guarded place, so she temporarily hid in it, carefully checked the situation around the camp, in her heart, in addition to investigating the reality of the death of King Monan, but also to find Zongzheng's mind, since the assassination of Kublai Khan and Zongzheng met again, she had many questions in her heart, she always felt that Zongzheng had a relationship with the benefactor that her mother said.

Liu Bingzhong returned from the negotiation with Jia Yidao in Yinziao, he replaced Kublai Khan to exercise full-time in the army, that night he reorganized the troops and horses, and ordered Dong Wenbing to send troops to the north on the grounds of helping Ling to return to the north, and the vanguard was stationed near Fenghua Temple.

Liu Bingzhong also knew that the Assassin would definitely send someone to find out the truth tonight, so he specially ordered the centurion to relax his guard and give the Assassin the illusion that the King of Mo Nan was dead.

Therefore, what Zhu Yunshi saw was the movement of the army supporting the coffin of King Mo Nan to return to the north, as well as the sad appearance of the soldiers.

After investigating for a long time, he didn't see Zongzheng, Zhu Yunshi was unwilling, but he was helpless, and saw that he had heard useful news about King Mo Nan, so he quietly left.

Zhu Yunshi returned to the residence, and told the truth about the situation in the barracks, and the grimace old monster pondered carefully, and did not have too many doubts about the death of the king of Monan.

Zong Zheng carefully sorted out what happened today, and couldn't help but sigh Liu Bingzhong's deep planning, nested in rings, details and rough features, time, place and people, the three major Guan Yuan in Liu Bingzhong's deep understanding of the strategy, Zong Zheng secretly thought about it, and felt that Liu Bingzhong was unfathomable.

Everything went smoothly, and the valley lord of the Beauty Valley also approved Zong Zheng's request, Zong Zheng thought in his heart that he was almost going to leave the Mongolian camp and lead away those martial arts people, this trip was extremely dangerous, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, recently, too many things have happened, too many people have died, and an unknown panic has swept around his body.
