A quarter of an hour later.
"Chu, Mr. Chu, what should we do now..."
The atmosphere on the swaying carriage was tense and depressing. Looking at Chu Xianping, whose face was very ugly, Lu Yuanjin hesitated for a long time and asked tremblingly:
"You, haven't you been following Wei Changtian before? You must know his weaknesses!"
"..."
There is no doubt that Gongsun Yan's attitude just now and the words left by Wei Changtian made Lu Yuanjin extremely frightened at this moment.
Chu Xianping was much calmer in comparison. He just glanced at him and replied calmly:
"Your Highness, as long as I am here, Wei Changtian can't kill you."
"B-but..."
"No buts."
Chu Xianping interrupted coldly: "Since I said I would protect you, I will definitely do it."
"Five days...hehe, I want to see how he kills you within five days."
With a sneer, it could be seen that Chu Xianping was still very confident in his abilities.
And since he said so, Lu Yuanjin naturally could only hold back his words, his eyes full of worry.
But at least he felt a little more at ease than before.
After all, although Lu Yuanjin didn't know much about Chu Xianping's deeds, he knew a lot about it, and he understood how terrifying the former's plan was.
In addition, Chu Xianping came to Yongding City with two second-grade masters with him this time, which is enough to show that he already has a very huge force in his hands.
Therefore, there should be no problem in saving your own life...
"call......"
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuanjin was a prince after all, so after adjusting for a moment, he finally changed from panic to rationality.
Now that his life is safe, it's time to think about how to defeat Gongsun Yan.
In fact, this matter is simple and simple.
Gongsun Yan is so arrogant, but everyone knows that he completely relies on Wei Changtian.
As long as Wei Changtian is killed, the former will naturally not be a concern.
But the problem is that Wei Changtian is by no means that easy to kill.
Outside Fengyuan City, this "Wei Yanluo" broke into a million-strong army camp alone and forced an army to retreat.
Lu Yuanjin knew that no matter how he planned, the situation he created would not have that crisis.
So this means that it is almost impossible to kill Wei Changtian with his strength alone, or even with Chu Xianping.
In this case, we can only start with Gongsun Yan...
"Mr. Chu, it is impossible for Gongsun Yan to stay with Wei Changtian all the time."
After a pause, Lu Yuanjin said in a deep voice: "Capture the thieves first. Capture the king first. As long as Gongsun Yan dies, many of his rebel thieves will disperse. Then there will be no obstacles for me to inherit the throne."
"What's more, Gongsun Yan is just a merchant. Although he is rich, he doesn't have many experts."
"As long as the young master is willing to lend me a few second-grade masters, I will definitely kill him within five days!"
"..."
Since there is nothing we can do against Wei Changtian, I will borrow someone to kill Gongsun Yan.
Lu Yuanjin quickly expressed his thoughts, and actually also said a "five days" deadline.
This is really not because he is angry or tit-for-tat.
But there really wasn't much time left for him.
Lu Yuanjin was not stupid. He knew that since Wei Changtian supported Gongsun Yan's rebellion, he would definitely hand over the 300,000 surrendered troops far away in Xinfeng to the latter.
The national strength of Dahui was not as good as that of Daning and Dafeng in their heyday. After the failure of the Xinfeng Battle, the number of available troops in the country had reached a very pitiful level.
Therefore, if Gongsun Yan really controls those 300,000 people, everything will be irreversible.
To be fair, Lu Yuanjin's idea was correct.
but......
"Kill Gongsun Yan?"
Chu Xianping smiled and said disdainfully: "Your Highness, do you think Wei Changtian can't think of what you can think of?"
"He may have already set a trap, just waiting for you to fall into the trap."
"What should we do?!"
Lu Yuanjin's eyes widened, and his tone was a bit impatient: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Could it be that Gongsun Yan will commit suicide?!"
"Haha, committing suicide will definitely not..."
Chu Xianping looked at Lu Yuanjin and his tone remained calm: "But we may not be required to do the killing."
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Yuanjin frowned and asked: "If we don't take action, who will? Are we counting on my third brother and Xian Wang, those two losers?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to Prince An's Mansion today?"
Without a direct answer, Chu Xianping said quietly: "No matter what, Gongsun Yan is anti-king, and I believe there must be many patriots in the Great Return."
"A lot of things don't have to be done in person."
"This...is this okay?"
Lu Yuanjin quickly understood what Chu Xianping meant, but had great doubts about its feasibility.
"Just those untouchables? Can you really kill Gongsun Yan?"
"Your Highness, don't worry."
Chu Xianping replied with a smile: "You only need to call on all the heroes to come to Yongding City to eradicate the rebels. I will make my own plans for the rest."
"good......"
Although he didn't know what Chu Xianping was going to do, Lu Yuanjin still nodded.
"Then I will write a reward order when I return to the palace next time and send it to all the counties of Dahui today."
"Well, that's for the best."
Chu Xianping responded and stopped talking. Instead, he opened the curtain and looked outside.
At this time, the carriage had quickly arrived at the foot of Longshou Mountain. It was surrounded by imperial troops riding tall horses, but no common people were seen.
The golden sun rises in the sky, creating a turbulent wave in the calm.
...
...
On the other side, Prince An's Mansion.
Just when Chu Xianping was preparing to portray Gongsun Yan as a "public enemy" according to the original plan, Wei Changtian had already ended the conversation with Li Zimu.
After calling Gongsun Yan into the room again, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Zimu, who immediately spoke:
"Your Majesty, there are three things you need to do now."
"The first thing is to immediately send someone to the residence of the Third Prince and Prince Xian. They must leave Yongding City before tomorrow morning. If you don't comply, you will be responsible for the consequences."
"The second thing is to let the wind go and tell the big and small forces in Dahui that anyone who dares to help Lu Yuanjin will be killed by Mr. Wei."
"The third thing is to hang this thing outside the palace..."
As he spoke, Li Zimu pushed a large wooden box forward on the table.
Gongsun Yan immediately walked closer and gently opened the lid of the box...
This wooden box was brought back by Wei Changtian from Prince Kang's Mansion, and Gongsun Yan actually had already predicted what was in it.
It's just that Wei Changtian didn't mention it before, so he didn't dare to ask.
Looking at it now, it turned out to be Lu Xiangshan’s head.
"Yes, I understand."
Taking a deep breath and closing the lid again, Gongsun Yan held the wooden box and prepared to go out.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly added something behind him.
"That's right, Your Majesty."
"Get ready, we are going to Longshou Mountain tomorrow."
"And do it openly."
"Go to Longshou Mountain?"
Suddenly turning around, a look of astonishment flashed in Gongsun Yan's eyes.
But Wei Changtian just smiled and said calmly:
"Yes, Longshou Mountain."
"It's a courtesy that reciprocates."
