There were many obstacles, and after the handover work was completed, Yang Fan led the supervision and operation department to retire successfully.
When Yang Fan returned to Chang'an, he was happiest than Gongsunjie, because he no longer had to be on guard all the time like a frightened bird.
For the sake of his own life, Gongsunjie has been cautious in everything since his confrontation with Yang Fan, fearing that Yang Fan would take revenge.
So much so that I didn't dare to enter the arranged residence, so I had to temporarily live in the military camp.
Now that the threat of Yang Fan is gone, Gongsunjie is in a much better mood, sitting in the somewhat dark military tent with a smile.
The next step is to win over local forces and join forces with them to sideline Li Daozong, thereby destroying Yang Fan's layout.
When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the soldiers outside the barracks shouting: "Master Xiaowei, the King of Jiangxia County invites you to come to discuss matters!"
Gongsunjie was overjoyed, guessing that Li Daozong was going to discuss taking over the defense. This was a good opportunity to take power.
He stood up with a loud sound, led a group of soldiers out of the barracks, and hurried towards the Governor's Mansion.
It rarely rains in Luoxucheng, but on this day, it rained heavily.
Although the rain was not heavy, the continuous rain swayed gently in the wind, shrouding it with a layer of smoke.
Apart from the last welcome banquet, this was only the second time Gongsunjie entered Luoxue City.
Only then did he have time to look around at this former capital of Tubo. The streets were bustling with activity, and the streets and alleys were full of laughter and laughter.
There were even many children running around in the street playfully with the raindrops falling on them, looking peaceful and peaceful.
But Gongsunjie knew that such a scene would not last long, and he would not allow it.
Because the ultimate goal is to destroy Yang Fan's layout. If there is a peaceful land, doesn't it mean that Yang Fan's layout is correct?
Of course he doesn't allow this to happen!
Shaking his head, Gongsunjie looked at these Tubo people with pity. In order to achieve his goal, he could only sacrifice the interests of these people.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard a popping sound from far away, and a bloody hole appeared on Gongsun Jie's forehead.
This frightened the soldiers who followed him, because the trace of pity on Gongsunjie's face was still there, but his pupils had dilated, and it was obvious that there was no breath of life left.
Such a strange appearance frightened all the soldiers into confusion. Some of them looked for the attacker in a panic, while others rushed to report to the Governor's Mansion. The whole street was in chaos.
While Gongsunjie's soldiers were frantically looking for him like ants in a hot pot, on the third floor of an inn not far away, a man looked out of the window. It was Xi Junmai.
Seeing Gongsunjie collapse to the ground, Xi Junmai was indifferent.
After a while, a figure flashed from the stairs and said in a deep voice: "Report to the team leader, the mission is completed!"
Xi Junmai turned around and looked at the person who came, and said with his head: "Well done. Gongsunjie committed suicide. No one can blame him. Let's set off immediately and catch up with the Marquis!"
"No!" The man responded, turned around and went downstairs.
Xi Junmai glanced at Gongsunjie who was lying on the ground again, and kept muttering: "Master Hou is really powerful. He can actually invent such a terrifying weapon. He is really a genius. No wonder this kind of weapon is only equipped with It’s really terrifying on the bodyguard.”
After saying that, he disappeared into the inn like a ghost.
It was drizzling, and although the guests in the inn also heard the noise, they didn't take it seriously. They drank and chatted and were completely indifferent.
If they knew that the noise caused the death of a Datang captain a few hundred meters away, they don't know whether they could be so calm.
…
The drizzle outside the Southwest Governor's Mansion was still falling.
Li Daozong was working hard on a mountain of case files in his study. After finishing processing, he rubbed his hands and drank a sip of hot tea to feel warmer.
Only then did he realize that it seemed that he had already sent an order to Gongsunjie. Why hadn't this guy arrived yet? Could it be that he was really blatantly disobeying his order?
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the study, and then the door was suddenly pushed open.
Li Daozong frowned. Although he didn't put on any airs, this was a place where he handled official business. Who could be so unruly and break in without notification?
Unhappily, he turned his head and saw his own guard captain rushing in with a panic look on his face.
"What happened?" Li Daozong asked in surprise.
The captain of the personal guard had been with him for many years and was always the most reliable person. Why was he so out of his mind today?
The captain of the personal guard was completely unaware of his gaffe and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Jie is dead!"
"What? Gongsunjie is actually dead. Have you caught the murderer?" Li Daozong was shocked and stood up with a roar.
But a thought flashed through his mind: "Did Marquis Zhongyi kill him?"
The first thought was that Yang Fan had killed Gongsunjie.
"Well, the murderer was not caught, but Gongsunjie died on the street, and there was no attacker at all. It is said that there was only a sound of a horn, and a bloody hole appeared on Gongsunjie's forehead. The weapon used by the attacker We haven't found out yet, let alone arrested anyone, but this kind of weapon is really scary, and the prince must be more careful," the guard captain explained with lingering fear.
Li Daozong was a little stunned, a bang? Then, he naturally remembered the muffled thunder just now, and thought it was winter thunder?
What kind of weapon is it?
Li Daozong was puzzled, but in the blink of an eye, he was relieved.
Who cares what that weapon is? As long as Gongsunjie dies, everyone will be happy!
When this bastard arrived in Tubo, he seemed to want to form a gang and try to oust himself. He had long made Li Daozong extremely annoyed!
However, Li Daozong still hoped to accomplish some earth-shattering achievements in Tubo.
It even left a mark in the history books. It’s a ghost that Li Daozong could get used to Gongsunjie!
What's more, they had reached a consensus, but they didn't expect Yang Fan to take action so quickly. A good death, a good death!
Li Daozong couldn't help but smile.
From then on, no one in Tubo could restrain him anymore, and he could act boldly and boldly according to Yang Fan's plan!
…
It rains continuously, as is the climate in the Tubo Plateau. Once it rains, it becomes extremely cold, and the howling cold wind seems to want to blow the bone-chilling chill into your bones.
The rain was not heavy, but the road was already muddy. Marching in such cold weather was a great test for the soldiers' health.
The fatigue caused by the long journey makes the body temperature very high, and if you are soaked in the cold rain, you will easily catch a cold.
Therefore, Yang Fan directly camped on a flat place, and of course the more important reason was to wait for Xi Jun to buy a few people.
Although you know that Xi Junmai will never let you down, everything is still inconclusive until the results come out.
As soon as he stepped into the big account, Xi Junmai came to report the completion of the task.
"What the Marquis expected was true. After the army left, Gongsunjie couldn't wait to go to the city to take over the defense. We directly assassinated him in the busy market."
Yang Fan raised his eyebrows: "Did anyone notice you?"
"No!" Xi Junmai said firmly.
Yang Fan nodded, not too proud.
In the final analysis, no one can provide evidence for this matter.
But many people don't actually need evidence.
For example, His Majesty Li Er, or Zhang Liang!
As long as you are sure in your heart that it was Yang Fan who did it, what evidence do you need?
In any case, this guy Gongsunjie must die, otherwise he will be too much of a threat to Tubo's layout.
Even if His Majesty Li Er has doubts, he will not punish himself without evidence.
As for Zhang Liang, he has already formed a grudge, and this one is not far behind. What's more, this guy has as many as 500 adopted sons, so he doesn't pay much attention to him even if he thinks about it.
"Well, that's right. If you want to rest, we have to hurry up tomorrow." Yang Fan waved his hand and said.
Indeed, it has already entered November. If we delay any longer, we will have to travel four to five thousand miles and it will be almost the Chinese New Year when we return to Chang'an City.
Yang Fan didn’t want to celebrate the New Year halfway because of an accident!
When Yang Fan returned to Chang'an from Tubo, Chang Sun Chong and his party also returned to Chang'an.
Although it was a hard journey, Changsun Chong did not dare to show any signs of neglect. As soon as he returned to his house, he hurriedly found Changsun Wuji.
In the study room of Duke Zhao's mansion.
"Bang! What did you say?" A white porcelain tea cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Changsun Wuji glared angrily. The veins on his forehead were bulging and winding like a green snake. His well-maintained face was now flushed red, and the short beard under his jaw was constantly twitching.
"You have been in the officialdom for many years and have seen a lot of conspiracies and tricks. How could you commit such a stupid thing?"
"Duan Zhixuan came from a humble background and knows no ethics at all. Falling out and being ruthless is a common occurrence. How could you let the matter fall into the hands of his son? Wouldn't you be controlled by him in the future?"
Changsun Wuji shouted bitterly, almost roaring loudly through gritted teeth.
Changsun Chong stood in front of him tremblingly, with his head lowered and he didn't dare to speak back.
Looking at his frustrated son, Changsun Wuji looked helpless and felt helpless, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this still his smart and unique son?
He acted so recklessly without thinking about how serious the consequences would be!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart and lectured: "Our Changsun family is not afraid of making mistakes. Even if you make a big mistake, your father will bear it for you."
"But now you have done such a childish thing as a father. I am deeply disappointed!"
You conspired with Duan Zan to betray the Tang Dynasty's military intelligence, just to get rid of Yang Fan?
It's so naive!
Not to mention Yang Fan has not been killed, even if Yang Fan is destroyed, do you think you can get rid of the Duan family's entanglement?
Duan Zhixuan is not a gentleman who keeps his promises. If he tries to blackmail you, he will not care about his face at all until he breaks your bones and sucks your marrow dry.
How could his eldest son, who was once a wise and shrewd child, be so confused?
Seeing his father's expression of hatred for steel, Changsun Chong bit his lip and clenched his slender fingers into fists.
He could be beaten and scolded, but he just couldn't stand his father's expression of extreme disappointment!
Changsun Chong suddenly raised his head, looked at Changsun Wuji with his bloodshot eyes, and roared in a low voice: "You just hate me! I just don't accept it!"
"Then what ability does Yang Fan have? Why do both of them regard him as a pillar of talent!"
"I think that my eldest son, Sun Chong, has been a corporal, diligent and polite over the years, and has taken care of his duties in an orderly manner. But everyone thinks that this is what I should do. It is normal to do well. If there is the slightest omission, I will not find fault. why is that?"
"I made a mistake while drunk and revealed my battle plan, but there is no evidence. Who can do anything to me?"
"Besides, Duan Zan guarantees that Yang Fan will never return to Chang'an alive! I want him to die..."
"Snapped!"
Changsun Wuji raised his hand and slapped him hard. Changsun staggered and said angrily:
"Shut up, I. Some words will be rotten in your stomach for the rest of your life. Even if you are talking to your own father, don't mention a word! Otherwise, not only you, but the whole family will be implicated. Please remember this. !”
Changsun Chong covered his face, feeling a burning sting, but his mind became much clearer. After hearing this, he said in a panic: "Yes, father, the child will never dare to do it again."
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, stood up, walked two steps in front of Changsun Chong and stood still. He looked directly at Changsun Chong, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Why do you hate Yang Fan so much? Is there something unspeakable?"
"No!" Changsun Chong's expression changed and he blurted out.
Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still full of doubts, he had to say: "Then Yang Fan composed the song "Shuo Ailian", and the child has become the laughing stock of Chang'an. Even the princess's body has been damaged. The child is angry, so he wants to Together with Duan Zan, Yang Fan will be put to death!"
Changsun Wuji didn't believe it at all and shook his head slightly. In this life, if it comes to understanding people's hearts, even if it is unique, it cannot be deceived by Changsun Chong!
Judging from Changsun Chong's wandering eyes and guilty expression, his words were somewhat untrue.
After thinking about it, Changsun Wuji changed the subject and asked: "What about you and the princess? Is there any gap between you and the princess? It seems that there is more respect than admiration, and more etiquette than intimacy. It really deserves the metaphor of treating each other as a guest. On the contrary, Not like a couple.”
Ordinarily, as a father, he should strictly abide by the rules and would never discuss the relationship between husband and wife with his son. But Changsun Wuji really couldn't help but want to ask. The young couple seemed to be in love, but in fact they always kept people at a distance, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
The most important thing is that the two have been married for many years, but Lin'er has never been born, which has to make Changsun Wuji suspicious.
Facing his father's burning eyes, Changsun Chong's face turned pale, his heart was pounding, he forced an awkward smile and denied:
"It's nothing. My father is worrying too much. The relationship between the child and the princess has always been very good."
Changsun Wuji didn't believe it.
After pondering for a long time, he decided: "You have been married to the princess for many years and have never had children. After a few days, my father asked Your Majesty to take a concubine for you. Having children and carrying on the family line are top priorities. Your Majesty will not be biased against you because of this."
Changsun Chong couldn't laugh anymore and said calmly: "This...isn't it necessary? The relationship between the child and the princess has always been very good. The father's behavior will definitely make the princess sad. This...besides, if there is something wrong with the princess's body, wouldn't it? Making her even more embarrassed..."
"You don't need to say anything!"
Changsun Wuji interrupted him and said coldly: "So what if it's embarrassing? If you can't carry on the family lineage for my eldest grandson, it's just a memorial tablet. What's the use of it? You can rest assured. If His Majesty punishes you for this, you will be your own father." Go and plead with His Majesty..."
"Snapped"
A short, soft cracking sound came from outside the house.
The expressions of the father and son changed drastically, they were so frightened that they looked at each other subconsciously.
If the words just said reached His Majesty’s ears, it would be a heinous crime!
Changsun Chong, who was strong and vigorous, rushed to the door in one stride, opened the door, and saw a bird's nest spilled on the ground in the corridor beside the door, and the white porcelain soup bowl had been shattered.
Changsun Chong rushed out and asked the servant who was guarding a foot away from the door, "Who was here just now?"
The servant was startled by Zhang Sun Chong's ferocious face, and quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess brought you a bird's nest, but she accidentally dropped it..."
"Where are the people?" Changsun Chong asked urgently.
"Um...already gone..."
At this time, Changsun Wuji walked out of the room and asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Changsun Chong had a pale face and said dullly, "It's the princess."
Changsun Wuji was also stunned for a moment, with a gloomy look on his face as he thought about countermeasures.
I just wonder if the princess heard the conversation between father and son just now? If so, how much did you hear?
Suddenly, even the cunning and wise Changsun Wuji felt extremely troubled.
He was not afraid that the princess would hear what he said later. It just represented a father's concern for his children. Even if His Majesty knew about it, it would only make His Majesty unhappy and would not cause any serious harm.
But if you heard the first half...
Changsun Chong took a deep breath: "My child, let's go see the princess..."
"No matter what, the princess must be stabilized." Changsun Wuji said with a gloomy face.
"No! I understand..." The eldest grandson bowed his head and hurried to the backyard.
