When he went south as an envoy to Chu State, he expected that he would be assassinated by Wu State to blame Chu State. This was also the reason for his high-profile trip. Didn't Wu State want to assassinate him? Well, he was honest. Standing in the bright place, I am afraid that the State of Wu will not send anyone.
What Yu Fan wants is not just to simply complete the task, but to over-fulfill the task. How to over-fulfill the task depends on whether Wu Guo can help. Of course, this means that his situation will be very dangerous. If he is not careful, There is the risk of being assassinated. Correspondingly, as long as he can survive the assassination, the greater the bargaining chip in his hands.
Along the way from Qingyang to Jianye, Yu Fan acted in a high-profile manner. Wherever he went, there were loud gongs and drums, colorful flags waving, and he invested heavily. Wherever he passed, he would contribute money to the local people. After coming here, Yu Fan's reputation became so great that almost no one knew about it.
Chen Deng was worried all the way and sent out elite soldiers to protect him, fearing that Yu Fan would make any mistakes. However, Yu Fan was so tormented that Huang Zhong and Chen Deng were exhausted along the way. No matter night or day, Yu Fan would Being able to go out at times they never expected.
Finally arriving in Jianye, Chen Deng finally paid his job.
"Yu Fan is definitely mentally ill!" Chen Deng complained to Chen Gong angrily, "Running around like a rabbit, doesn't he know that Wu Guo has long wanted to kill him?"
Chen Gong sneered: "Of course he knows. The purpose of his actions is to let Wu's assassins know his existence and assassinate him."
Chen Deng put the tea cup on the table: "Huh! He is looking for death!"
Chen Gong: "To be precise, he is seeking an opportunity in a desperate situation."
Chen Deng's face was full of confusion: "Looking for an opportunity in a desperate situation? How can I say this?"
"Isn't this simple?" Chen Gong said clearly, "Yu Fan now represents Dajing. If something happens to our country of Chu, Ding will have enough reasons to send troops to make things difficult for us. When the time comes, they will Forcing us to use other methods to compensate for this loss, huh! It's just a despicable way to get Guiyang County."
Chen Deng suddenly realized: "That's it!"
Chen Gong: "If it doesn't work to send more people to protect Yu Fan's safety, just arrange his post next to the palace. If I can't, who else can come to assassinate people near the palace."
"Here!"
Chen Deng went out to prepare.
Chen Gong frowned, looking at Chen Deng's back as he went out, feeling a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. He stood there thinking for a long time, and sighed: "Hey! If we were in Jingzhou, we wouldn't have so many worries. such a pity!"
He shook his head and sighed.
…
After Yu Fan entered the inn, he contacted the local people from Beizhen Fusi. The State of Chu arranged his post next to the palace, and it was surrounded by tight guards. It would be impossible for assassins to get close, and Yu Fan's plan would be disrupted.
Fortunately, there is also someone from Beizhen Fusi here, and he already has a high official position. Moreover, he is also from Jiangdong and is quite familiar with the people here, so his actions are not greatly affected.
"Sir, it is extremely dangerous to act like this, and it may very well cost your life..."
"Let's do it this way. Find a few people with superb archery skills to do it, even if they are seriously injured. Only in this way can I successfully complete the task." Yu Fan looked determined.
The person he was talking to was named Chen She, nicknamed Youhu. He is currently the general of the Jiangdong Military Academy. He was an informant developed by Beizhen Fusi many years ago and has been active within the Wu Kingdom. Later, when Jianye City was destroyed, Chen She surrendered and became the Chu Army. The captain and general of the army are trusted.
Yu Fan ordered him to take advantage of the change of guard outside, and sent people from Beizhen Fusi to kill the assassins first, and then disguised themselves as Soochow assassins and burned down the inn. If the assassin is let in, the possibility of his own death will be too small.
We can only kill the Soochow assassin first, and then use the borrowed knife to kill others.
When Chen She saw Yu Fan insisting on this, he nodded helplessly: "Okay, since your Excellency insists on doing this, I will have no choice but to do it. At that time, I hope that Your Excellency will dodge to avoid being accidentally injured."
Yu Fan smiled: "Don't worry, I also cherish my life."
Several assassins from the Wu Kingdom had already been under surveillance by Fusi in Beizhen. While they were still discussing how to approach the palace to assassinate Yu Fan, Chen She had already led people into the room, killed them, and then took them away. body, heading near the palace.
Chen She took advantage of his identity and led dozens of guards to approach the palace and lie in wait. When they were changing guard, Chen She quickly led his troops out. At the same time, people hidden outside brought in the body of Wu Guoren.
In order to ensure Yu Fan's safety, Chen She adopted the method of first attacking with fire to arouse the enemy's preparations, and then charge in.
Sure enough, when the fire broke out here, the white soldiers rushed over to help.
At this time, Chen She left only seven or eight people behind and left the scene early.
Because the fire was so strong, when the Baijie soldiers arrived, the entire post was ablaze, but Yu Fan was not in a hurry to escape. Instead, he stood in the sea of fire and smoke, waiting for the Chu army to rescue him. He was sure that the Chu army would fight to the death to rescue him. his.
Not long after, when the fire was extremely fierce, the Chu army rushed in one after another. At this time, Yu Fan was on the verge of death and almost fainted. He was holding on with just one breath. When he saw the Chu army coming in, Then he completely passed out.
When Chen Gong learned about the fire in the post house, he was startled.
A mysterious organization in Dajing flashed through my mind: the Shadow Guards, which is now Beizhen Fusi.
I also figured out where the uneasiness I felt before came from.
What shocked him was not the fire in the post house, but the terrible thing about Beizhen Fusi. There were people from Beizhen Fusi even near the palace of Dachu. If Beizhen Fusi was allowed to develop, he might even be assassinated. The Emperor of Chu and Liu Bei were no longer a problem.
Thinking about it made his back feel cold.
Only then did he remember Yu Fan: "Is Jingshi Yu Fan still alive?"
"Alive, just knocked unconscious by the smoke, not life-threatening."
"That's good, prepare your car quickly!"
Chen Gong quickly put on his official uniform, went out, made a carriage, and rushed to the scene.
When he arrived at the scene, the fire had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of corpses of Wu assassins. After Chen Gong got the news, he angrily cursed Yu Fan as a lunatic who didn't want his life. If something went wrong, his life would be in danger.
Without enough to complete the whole situation, this matter can only be defined as an assassination by Wu Guo.
But Zhang Xiu was not satisfied with this explanation.
When Zhang Xiu learned about Yu Fan's plan, he was shocked and angry. First, he felt that Yu Fan was too risky, but he was dissatisfied with the answer given by Chu State.
