"Chang Sheng, what do you mean, will the post house be peaceful today?"
On the royal road, Chang Sheng, who was sitting, gathered his robes and said calmly, "That's true. If Chen Fang, the envoy of Shu, is in the post house, there will be people who can't help but take action. Either those assassins or people from the old family. . All in all, people like this don’t want a truce between Beiyu and Xishu.”
Listening to this, Chang Shiro narrowed his eyes and said, "If I'm not wrong, you, Chang Ziyu, have already laid an ambush?"
"Yan Pi and his guards have already laid an ambush. According to my guess, the assassin assassinated the clan brother most likely to sow discord between Northern Chongqing and Western Shu and provoke a decisive battle. If he dares to come, this matter will be interesting."
"Chang Sheng, what if the person coming is a killer from an old family?"
Chang Sheng's voice was calm, "Kill one person to serve as a warning to others. Brother clan, you should know that the critical moment has come and you need to resort to this method. In fact, deep down in my heart, I already have a candidate who I doubt."
"who."
"The Xie family in Changyang." Chang Sheng raised his head, his eyes blazing, "During this period, the Xie family was jumping up and down, all in my eyes. If the dog barks, there will be disaster. Even if it weren't for him, in this assassination matter , he probably has something to do with it. I mean, my brother can use this Shu envoy to Chongqing to stabilize the impatience of the old family. I put it harshly, don't watch them fool around, but in fact, among these people From the bottom of my heart, I wish that the final winner would be me, Beiyu."
Tsuneshiro nodded.
"Where is Chen Fang? I remember when he entered the city, he only had a few disciples practicing the Six Arts around him."
"Brother, I have said that I will not kill Chen Fang, I will even keep him. But brother, you should understand that the meaning of Chen Fang's entry into Chongqing is just to make a gesture."
Chang Sheng turned his head, his enchanted eyes seeming to see through the entire palace complex to the direction of Dayuan Pass in Lizhou.
"Brother, have you noticed that Chen Fang is a smart man?"
"How to say."
"The cessation of war between Northern Chongqing and Western Shu means that both sides need time to recover. I, Beiyu, need it, and Western Shu also needs it. The emergence of the Sha Rong people has undoubtedly become an opportunity. I can guess that if the old family We have been objecting, and Chen Fang is very likely to...act in a play. In this play, he himself will die in the post house."
Chang Shiro frowned, "Chang Sheng, do you mean to commit suicide?"
"After committing suicide, it was not to frame me, Beiyu, but to frame foreigners. After all, the Lord was assassinated before, and I could guess that it was to provoke a war. In this way, everything can go smoothly."
In the evening breeze, Chang Sheng paused for a moment, then stood up in silence again.
"Chen Fang entered Chongqing. I can't say whether it was a lame trick. If a person like him were to be ruthless, he would be more terrifying than a poisonous owl. But deep down in my heart, I have a close relationship with him after all. . I, Chang Ziyou, am a scholar after all, so I would like to be kind in these nearly ten years of chaos and try my best to protect Chen Fang. Let this scholar and sage be able to teach the world in the future."
"Brother, I'm going."
…
In the Changyang Post House, the lights are clustered like beans.
Chen Fang, who was wearing a thick robe, stretched out his hand and twisted it. Suddenly, the whole world became a little faint again.
"Don't be too loud." Chen Fang raised his head and looked around at the disciples around him.
"The posthouse will be very noisy tonight."
"Teacher, what does this mean?"
Chen Fang smiled and said, "Some people will come, and there will be quite a few of them."
The expressions on the disciples' faces suddenly became frightened and angry. He quickly found the sword and held it in his hand.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Chen Fang reached out again, grabbed the sword of a nearby disciple, and pulled it over.
"Although I am old, I... still need a sword after all. If this sword does not need to be unsheathed, it is naturally the best."
"How can a sword not be unsheathed if it wants to kill someone?"
Chen Fang glanced at the disciple who was speaking, didn't say much, and nodded lightly.
By Haishi, the whole of Changyang had become extremely quiet. Only the nightbirds hiding somewhere would occasionally "coo".
The darkness is like the rising tide of the stormy season, completely drowning out all the brightness in just the blink of an eye.
At the city gate not far from the post house, two or three wild dogs in the alley facing south suddenly stopped barking.
tread.
There were footsteps falling to the ground, soft and silent.
The owner of the steps was probably too tall and strong. He had already bowed and hid behind a low wall. Behind him, there were more than two hundred turbaned killers.
"Your Majesty... No, leader, I would like to give you one more advice. If you take action at this time, you will be in great danger."
"Just killing a rotten scholar. Could it be that in the Central Plains, even a rotten scholar is a master of martial arts? Xie Chang, don't worry, I am sure of this matter."
"Your Majesty, don't call me by my name." The person next to him sounded nervous.
"Look at you, but people who want to do big things don't have to be so nervous. If things go well, kill this Shu envoy and we will leave quickly. In this way, the peace talks between Beiyu and Xishu will completely collapse. , it is impossible to reignite the war."
"Xie Chang, you will be the Marquis from now on."
This sentence seemed to have a certain allure, causing Xie Chang's expression to instantly become serious again.
"After doing this this time, if it succeeds, the matter will basically be settled. Xie Chang, you don't want to be a member of a poor family in Beiyu after all. Why don't you join me and give it another try."
"Very good." Xie Chang said in a deep voice. He turned his eyes and looked at the post house not far away.
Outside the post house, there was no surprise at all. There was a patrol battalion of two or three teams, constantly holding torches and walking back and forth.
And now he has more than 200 dead soldiers from his family in his hands. Coupled with King Sha Rong's bravery, as long as things go well, after killing Chen Fang, he can rush back to the mansion within half an hour and hold his seventh concubine.
"Your Majesty, are you ready to take action?"
"Don't be anxious." The sturdy black figure smiled faintly in the evening breeze, "I have asked Chao Tu to go around first and lead away the patrolling Beiyu soldiers. No matter what, I will be more careful when doing things this time. .”
Xie Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that this assassination was most likely to be successful.
Sure enough, after about one stick of incense.
The two groups of Beiyu soldiers who were originally patrolling were probably startled by something. They all raised their swords and chased in the other direction.
After waiting quietly for a while, the big man in the dark lowered his voice.
"Prepare."
"Listen to your Majesty, prepare to take action, and don't forget to cover your pockmarked face!" Xie Chang also shouted.
Not long after, more than 200 assassins, after receiving the order, all came out from the low wall, the stone house, and the stable on the street.
"Quickly, kill the Shu envoy!" Xie Chang's face became distorted due to excitement. Just like what King Sha Rong said, as long as it succeeds and the Xie family escapes intact, Sha Rong will definitely be the biggest hero in taking over the Central Plains in the future!
"kill!"
