Ning Fan nodded and chuckled: "This is actually a good idea. It will make them think that they have completely deceived us and are no longer wary of us. In this case, we can take action directly tomorrow."
"These two thieves are really deceiving the superiors! They dare to deceive even His Majesty. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
The two dogs gritted their teeth.
Ning Fan nodded: "Go and call Yueying and Xingchen."
Ergou went out, and soon Yueying came in, but there was no trace of the stars.
"Where's your brother? Why haven't you seen him these past few days?"
Ning Fan frowned.
"My brother is going to visit Zhuang Wen's house tonight. He said he wanted to get something. He should be back soon by this time."
Moon Shadow whispered.
Ning Fan suddenly stood up, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.
Now is the most critical time. If Zhuang Wen realizes something by alerting the enemy, something serious will happen.
"Nonsense!"
Ning Fan scolded sternly.
Yueying had never seen Ning Fan so angry before, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, but just lowered her head.
Ning Fan walked around the room with his hands behind his back. For a long time, he couldn't calm down.
At this time, if Xingchen really scared away the bird Zhuang Wen, then things would be out of control.
If this guy is allowed to flee like the Tianjiang Camp, the situation may be a direct mutiny!
When Ning Fan was at a loss what to do, there were sounds of footsteps outside, the door was pushed open, and Xingchen dressed in black walked in.
"Do you still have the nerve to come back? Who asked you to act without authorization?"
Ning Fan scolded angrily.
Xingchen didn't know what he had done wrong. When he saw his sister kneeling on the ground, he knelt down.
"Your Highness, I went to inquire outside. That Zhuang Wen is definitely not a good person! No, these are all the things I got back."
Xingchen handed over some letters and gold, silver and jewelry.
Ning Fan opened one of the letters and took a closer look, and the look on his face turned livid: "This piece of shit is actually connected with the Huns!"
After reading more than a dozen letters, Ning Fan was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.
Zhuang Wen not only rebelled alone, but also had a complete plan. His plan was to cooperate with the Huns inside and outside, and then divide the river to rule and directly occupy several provinces in the south.
The provinces near the north were directly divided by Zhuang Wen to the Huns...
"It's not an exaggeration to kill this thief from all nine clans!"
Ning Fan gritted his teeth. It took a while before Ning Fan calmed down.
"Xingchen, when you took these things, you didn't disturb anyone, right?"
Ning Fan asked.
Xingchen shook his head hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhuang Wen and a group of people were plotting in a secret room. After the plot was over, they went to have wine and have fun. Now they are soundly asleep!"
"Okay, you have made a great contribution this time."
Ning Fan clutched the letter and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Success or failure depends on tomorrow...
That night, Ning Fan barely slept. He could always hear the sound of swords fighting while half asleep and half awake.
When it was almost dawn, Ning Fan closed his eyes and rested for a while.
In the morning, Ning Fan got up and ate leisurely, as if nothing had happened. When it was almost noon, Zhuang Wen came indeed.
"Your Highness, Yue Chunping's soldiers and horses have arrived outside the city and will enter the city soon! I have asked people to secretly open the city gate to ensure that the old thief Song Chengzhou cannot notice it."
Zhuang Wen looked energetic.
Ning Fan smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with this old thief!"
"By the way, when you arrest people later, you must be careful and try not to cause casualties."
Ning Fan said.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. You will definitely follow His Highness's instructions."
Zhuang Wen is full of confidence.
Ning Fan also put on soft armor and led ten personal guards to the vicinity of the Governor's Mansion. The Tianjiang soldiers outside the city had already begun to rush to the Governor's Mansion under the leadership of Yue Chunping.
From the time Tianjiang soldiers and horses broke through the city defenses to the time the Governor's Mansion reacted, it only took a cup of tea.
Ning Fan, who was sitting in the Wangjiang Tower opposite, saw a large number of government soldiers entering the Governor's Mansion, and then the gate of the Governor's Mansion was closed tightly.
The people on the street seemed to have a premonition of something, and soon the lively streets became deserted.
Yue Chunping, who was fully armored and armed with a large number of troops, came directly to the gate of the Governor's Mansion and began to announce Ning Fan's imperial envoy order.
Then, the soldiers began to surround the governor's office, and everything was in order.
There was a sound on the wooden stairs, and then Yue Chunping came up. When he saw Ning Fan and Zhuang Wen sitting at the window drinking tea, Yue Chunping came over and knelt down after a moment's hesitation.
"Tianjiang Commander-in-Chief Yue Chunping, see His Highness!"
Yue Chunping said in a deep voice.
Ning Fan hurriedly stood up and helped him, and said with a happy face: "General Yue's saddle and horse are tired, thank you for the hard work along the way!"
"Your Majesty has already surrounded the Governor's Mansion according to His Highness's order! The next step is to arrest the old thief!"
"It's just that it looks like this old thief is going to fight to the end."
Yue Chunping was full of murderous intent.
Ning Fan nodded: "It's best if you can't use weapons. If you really want to fight stubbornly, the only way is to take people by force!"
The arrow had to be fired. In order to catch the two old foxes Zhuang Wen and Yue Chunping, Ning Fan had to make some sacrifices.
It is foreseeable that there will be casualties in the siege of the Governor's Mansion, that is inevitable.
"Your Highness, are you going to attack now?"
Yue Chunping asked.
"Wait a minute, let me call out and ask, is Song Chengzhou going to resist to the end? If this person can take the initiative to arrest him, it will save a lot of trouble."
Ning Fan said calmly.
"Your Highness, I see that the old thief won't shed tears until he sees the coffin! Your Highness must be careful not to be plotted against. Why don't you just ask General Yue to send someone to rush in directly?"
Zhuang Wen said quickly.
Ning Fan sneered in his heart. Of course he knew what Zhuang Wen meant. He just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to silence Song Chengzhou.
It's a pity that Ning Fan couldn't fulfill these two people's wishes.
If Song Chengzhou is really allowed to die, even if Zhuang Wen and Yue Chunping are not successfully captured, the matter cannot be said to have been done perfectly.
When the time comes to return to Kyoto, the issue of the title of king will probably stir up trouble again.
"Yes, Your Highness, I see that Song Chengzhou is also determined to resist! We must beware of Song Chengzhou's people at the Tianjiang camp. If he brings troops to come for reinforcements, the situation will be difficult to predict."
Yue Chunping said loudly.
In fact, Yue Chunping and Zhuang Wen had the same idea, which was to take advantage of the chaos to kill Song Chengzhou.
If Ning Fan really persuaded Song Chengzhou to surrender and be captured without mercy, then they would not be able to kill Song Chengzhou in full view of the public.
"When I came here, my father also said that if Song Chengzhou is found guilty of treason, I have the right to kill him first and report him later!"
"However, even if we want to kill this person, we must catch him and turn the case into a solid case, otherwise he will always be criticized."
Ning Fan said deliberately.
