Chapter 377 Assassination of Zhao Duan

“Mr. Zhao, please.”

As the prince said goodbye, Xu Junling woke up from a dream, stood up, and looked at Zhao Du with extremely complex eyes An said.

In tonight's conversation, Zhao Duan's resilience undoubtedly made her look at the emperor's face with admiration again.

"...Okay." Zhao Duan stood up with his hands on the edge of the table, glanced regretfully at the "Eight River Fresh Foods" on the table, and suddenly said:

"It can be packed "?"

Xu Junling was stunned for a moment, confused by his sudden change in temperament.

"Haha, just kidding, let's lighten the mood." Zhao Duan smiled brightly and said seriously to the prince sitting opposite him:

"Thank you for your hospitality tonight, I will take my leave now."

Negotiations are negotiations, and threats are threats.

There is no need for the relationship to become too tense on the surface.

Zhao Duan turned around and walked downstairs accompanied by Xu Junling.

As I was about to go down the stairs, I suddenly heard the voice of King Huai'an coming from behind me:

"For my daughter's sake, let me remind you that the court is in the light and King Jing is in the dark. It’s not you who should be anxious, but Prince Jing.”

Zhao Duan paused, smiled, and walked downstairs without responding.

At the fourth floor, Haitang and others also heard the noise, got up and walked over.

The two sides looked at each other and followed Zhao Duan out of Dafeng Tower in a tacit understanding.

After declining the offer from the princess, Zhao Duan stood downstairs and turned around, looking at the six-story, extremely eye-catching tower-shaped building behind him. The lights on the fifth floor were as bright as torches in the night.

"Let's go." Zhao Duan said softly.

Haitang endured it again and again, but in the end she didn’t ask any questions.

Until the group returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden, Zhao Duan summoned a few trusted cronies and held a small meeting behind closed doors.

Skip the details and briefly describe the attitude of King Huai'an.

"What did he mean?" Haitang frowned, "So, he sent you out without making a statement?"

Eunuch Hai, Hou Renmeng, Shen Juan and others They also looked at each other.

They are more pure warriors. They know nothing about this kind of government and know very little.

Zhao Duan sat in the main seat, wiped his face with a steaming wet towel, and then said calmly:

"His meaning is obvious. The position of the Huai'an Prince's Palace will not be based solely on It’s not surprising that I made the move in just a few words. As for the words I used to threaten him, they were just ideas after all. No one can tell what will happen next.”

“But what?” Haitang asked curiously. Si was extremely excited to be involved in such a big event.

Zhao Duan smiled and his eyes flashed:

"I can sense that King Huai'an has wavered, so his final position on the opening of the market may very well depend on my relationship with him. The outcome of King Jing’s struggle. Oh, he was afraid that I wouldn’t understand when we were leaving, so he reminded me...

Now that the three Huting factions and King Huai'an are neutral, we will have a fight with the group headed by King Jing. Whoever wins, King Huai'an may turn to whomever, haha... full of businessman nature. "

Haitang said worriedly:

"That's troublesome. This is not the capital. Can we win? And, how to win? To win over the neutrals?"

Tsk... You are good at solving crimes, but you insist on getting involved in political intrigues, you don't understand... Zhao Duan corrected with a smile:

“It’s not about winning over the neutral faction, but about winning over the King of Huai’an. When the news of my meeting with him today spreads, guess who will be the most anxious? "

Haitang's eyes lit up: "You mean, it's Prince Jing? "

Zhao Duan nodded and said seriously:

"The act of King Huai'an meeting me is telling King Jing that because their father and son were overshadowed by me during the day, so The King of Huai'an has a tendency to turn to me.

Therefore, King Jing will be very anxious. He must show his ability and courage to suppress me in the next period of time. "

"It's so complicated..." Hou Renmeng and Shen Juan were already a little confused.

I sincerely lament that things like power and scheming are not for martial artists...

Well, even though my lord is also a martial artist.

As for the old worshiper, he ignored him at all and always dozed off.

"In short, I must keep a high profile until the beginning of the Huting meeting,"

Zhao Duan glanced at them helplessly:

"As for You should also keep your spirits up and be prepared for Prince Jing to cause trouble for me at any time."

In the corner.

The fearful Jiyue and the drunkard Lang Shiba finally cheered up and geared up.

……

……

Just when Zhao Duan returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden. Near Dafeng Tower, in a busy shop, a Jianghu customer put down a few large coins, picked up his long sword, stood up and walked out of the shop.

Then he passed through the crowd, walked through the streets and alleys, and gradually left the bustling and lively neighborhood, and entered an alley under the moonlight.

And stopped outside a certain yard.

The Jianghu guest gently pulled the door knocker and knocked with a specific rhythm, and the backyard door opened in a moment.

The person who opened the door was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old. His appearance could not be seen clearly under the moonlight, but he could only feel that he was full of energy.

“No tail.” Jianghu Ke said.

"Okay." The young man nodded vigorously and closed the door warily.

Then the two of them entered the dark house together. The house looked dark from the outside, but in fact it was lit inside, and the windows were covered with black cloth.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw several people sitting or standing around a round table with orange candles lit.

There are men and women, ranging in age from teenagers to thirty years old. They are all a group of passionate young people.

The leader is a woman dressed as a scholar. She is just like a woman disguised as a man, because after taking off her hair, her thick long hair is hanging down.

The eyes on the palm-sized face are round and charming, but the temperament is cold.

There is a cloth bag hanging on the waist, which is as heavy as a round cake-shaped object.

"Wu Ling, how are you?" a young woman named Lin Yuebai asked eagerly.

The other passionate young people also looked forward to it eagerly.

The Jianghu guest took off his bamboo hat, revealing the handsome face of Wu Ling, an actor who was once famous in the theaters in Beijing.

The candlelight on the table danced in Wu Ling's bright black eyes. He shook his head and said:

"No chance. Zhao Thief is extremely cautious and is followed by expert guards wherever he goes. He went to the Dafeng Tower to meet with the people from the Huai'an Palace. I didn't know what they were talking about. "

"Humph! What could they talk about? What an evil thing that is done to the people!”

Beside him, the young man who had just opened the door said angrily.

The young man's eyebrows are very thick, and he is quite heroic, like a little tiger. At this moment, he clenched his fists heavily:

"Then Zhao Thief is willing to serve as the face of the false emperor, brutalize Zhongliang, and kill how many of our brothers and sisters? I, Kou Qi Chi, wish I could eat his flesh alive to pay tribute to the patriots who were arrested and died tragically in prison!"

As soon as these words came out, except for the sorceress named Lin Yuebai, all the other young people at the table shared the same hatred. Scold Zhao Gou.

Wu Ling’s face was expressionless, but her heart was quite complicated.

Several days have passed since he left the imperial prison under the pretext of "escape" under the orders of Zhao Duan.

After he left the capital, he immediately contacted the rebel leader Zhuang Xiaocheng through the secret contact method of Kuangfu Society.

Reported the news of the murder of the national master who was bewitching, and the destruction of the entire Kuangfu Society branch.

As soon as the news came out, Kuangfu Society was shocked.

Zhuang Xiaocheng was shocked and immediately asked to see Wu Ling.

After asking about the situation, he first let Wu Ling rest for a few days to recuperate, and then learned that Zhao Duan was about to go south and come to Huting.

Zhuang Xiaocheng ordered Wu Ling, who was "familiar" with Zhao Duan, to join the members of the Huaishuidao Branch to keep an eye on Zhao Duan's situation and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him.

So, as a spy, Wu Ling came to Huting and met these young people who were kept in the dark and passionately vowed to eradicate the traitors and kill the Zhao Dog who had done so many evil things. Patriots.

How can I put it, the mood is quite subtle.

"Seven feet!"

As the leader of this team, Lin Yuebai scolded and said seriously:

"Zhao Thief is extremely cunning, we are going to kill him To kill, you must plan calmly, act cautiously, and remember to change your temper."

Young man Kou Qichi said "Oh" and fainted:

"Sister. , I understand.”

“Ahem,” Wu Ling coughed lightly and said seriously:

"Yuebai is right. I assassinated this thief when I was in the capital and almost died, but no one else saw him. This shows that this person has extraordinary means. With our strength, we may not be able to do it."

The sorceress disguised as a man nodded, but smiled again and said:

"I know, but the master has already considered this, so the main force of the assassination this time is not us, we are just To find out whereabouts, a master from the society will arrive in the next two days to kill this thief."

Wu Ling was stunned and his eyelids jumped: "Who is the master from the society?"

Lin Yuebai did not doubt that he was there, and smiled and said: "Qi Yuchun, the former commander-in-chief of the Imperial Palace Imperial Army!"
