Chapter 57 Assassination

A few days later, there was no movement from Jin Haiyan and Jin Xuefan, but Gao Hu was more and more favored by Jin Mingzuo. Every time he went hunting, he always took him with him, and he was promoted not long ago. The second-rank general, who has been promoted several ranks in a row, made it clear that he was throwing the face of the Fu family.

Fu Bai, as a first-rank general, not only did not receive the emperor's attention, but also made Jin Mingzuo unhappy because of a series of trivial matters. Whenever he thought it was a trivial matter, the emperor's reaction was surprisingly fussy, as if he was signaling to the outside world that the Fu family was about to go Potential.

The list was quickly delivered to Jin Yuchen. After being taken care of by Shen Qingbie these days, he was doing well. Before he had time to rest, he called Pei Yuanjin to his account. Shen Qingbie naturally knew that Jin Yuchen must be planning something important when he saw Pei Yuanjin. However, the other party did not intend to ask her to be present, and she didn't go in to listen in. She had to stay in her tent honestly, or drink tea with her father.

"There are so many pairs of eyes watching from outside. When I entered your fourth prince's tent, they probably laughed at me for being stupid and chose you as a master." Pei Yuanjin recalled the ministers who couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing before coming in. I couldn't help the smile in my heart, "It's often like this. Most people only want to believe what they see with their own eyes, and they will never think about whether the other party will see it for them on purpose, and then they will be arrogant. Compassionate to others, but I don't know that I am already in danger."

Jin Yuchen held a piece of paper that he had re-copied in his hand, and drew a few circles on it with a pen, and said, "Those are short-sighted people, but our opponents are not them. You must attract me when you come here." With the attention of interested people, it is estimated that some people are already secretly discussing our relationship and real strength."

"That's fair, isn't it? If you only suffer on one side, what's the point of this game?" Pei Yuanjin sat down spontaneously, looked at Jin Yuchen's serious expression on the paper, and said, "It's already Now that you know how many people are available in the capital, what are you going to do next?"

"Not all of them are usable. I can't guarantee that some villains won't make second-guessing actions even if they are beneficial. The days when I came out of the clan's mansion and went to court, I can't be regarded as standing in the hall for nothing." It’s been a long time.” Jin Yuchen got up and handed the sketched list to Pei Yuanjin, “I didn’t expect that there would be such a huge network of corruption and bribery in Anqing. Zheng Mingjie, who was in charge of Suzhou Nanfeng Pavilion, is dead. The nodes are all our people. It seems that it is necessary to clean up these smoky things afterwards, after all, this is not a good atmosphere."

Pei Yuanjin looked at the list that Jin Yuchen handed to him. Although he guessed that there must be many people involved, he didn't expect so many people to do so. It seems that the officials and businessmen involved are not usually huge. It's not even easy to remove the end in one go. Now if we blindly tear off the net under the deep water, it might have the opposite effect.

"It actually infiltrated into the center. There are many people from the Ninth Prince's side, and they are all in this paddock." Pei Yuanjin said succinctly.

"No, no, no..." Jin Yuchen thought suddenly, "You can't gather them together, I guess Jin Xuefan is waiting for me to reveal my power to him, once my list is revealed, he can Using my actions to clean up the unusable chess pieces in his hand, he expected that I would take advantage of this possible turmoil to show my prestige to the emperor, and then show off my glory in front of Daliang. Although I can With my father's attention, I can cleverly put aside contact with those ministers, but I have been exposed to the maximum extent in front of Jin Xuefan, and it will be even more difficult to deal with him at that time, so I can't get in touch with those ministers too early."

"But if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to develop your power, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to fight against the Ninth Prince after you return to Beijing. The battle between Daliang and Anqing is already a matter of course. When the time comes, you If you want to consolidate your power in the court, you can only recommend yourself to go to the battlefield to build military merits, but it is estimated that the court is already dominated by the Nine Princes at that time, if he doesn't want you to come back alive, you will not come back." Pei Yuanjin leisurely Said, "A group of troops from Daliang has already stationed at a place five hundred miles away from the border of Anqing. If Helian Mingzhu gives orders now to let that group of troops attack, the reinforcements will arrive in about ten days. Even if the emperor returns When they arrived at the palace, they couldn’t move the Northern and Southern Army in the south in a short time, not to mention the Dajin in the south that caused Anqing a headache all the time. Helian Mingzhu arrived in Anqing from the west, deliberately took a long way, and what he wanted was Avoid the sentries in Anqing, stationed in the military blind area of ​​Anqing, where the environment is harsh, most of the soldiers in Anqing will not guard there, but Daliang's army is different, they are born to stay in such a harsh environment, whether it is Combat strength and courage are many times better than the current Anqing. If you call those ministers over now and strengthen your power, this court will be your world. No matter how many forbidden troops there are, they will not be able to match your future father-in-law The [-] city guards in hand."

"But what if nothing happens? If Helian Mingzhu just wants to come to Anqing to investigate, and then honestly bring the information back, then I will become a thorn in the eyes of my father and Jin Xuefan. Let alone a rebellion, whether I can survive is a big problem." Although Helian Pearl will have a great advantage in attacking at this time, there is also a great risk. The well-trained soldiers will not be unable to sustain the arrival of the Northern and Southern Army, and although the main force is in the south, the north is not without troops to guard, and they can reach the capital early. Yes, and Anqing has also set up many sentries on the border official road between Daliang and Anqing. Once there is a change in Daliang, it will be reported to the capital immediately, and when the time comes, troops will be dispatched, and they will be able to fight with all their strength.

"Anqing will lose." Pei Yuanjin said with a heavy hammer, "Anqing is not Daliang's opponent now. The reason why Daliang is so cautious is that he doesn't want to waste too much force here in Anqing. Even if Helian Mingzhu doesn't do anything, you will You can no longer sit still like this, but want to win over the power of other countries, the Ninth Prince will do the same, but you know that the trust of other countries will never be established on a person who has no real power. If the Ninth Prince gets the assistance of other countries, he can successfully attack If you withdraw Liang Jun, then you really have no chance."

"But you know that the power in my hands is immature, and premature exposure is extremely dangerous." Jin Yuchen closed his eyes and sighed.So what if there are dead men?In the dark, only [-] city guards were able to get Shen Funan, which was no match for the Fu family who had half the strength of the northern and southern armies, not to mention that the Ninth Prince had more than just the Fu family in his hands.

"I can't help it, Daliang insists on meddling, I don't have time to set up a game for you, you can win as many people as you can, split the court in half, even if you can't be equal, let the Ninth Prince Afraid." Pei Yuanjin put away his calm and breezy appearance, and his face was heavy.

"I'll think about it again."

While Jin Yuchen was still thinking about how to avoid the greatest risk, a big drama happened tonight.

"The cage where the beast is held is open? Everyone, be careful of the beast!"

"Fire! Put out the fire! It's south!"

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion outside. Jin Yuchen hurriedly put on his shoes and socks and went out. It was already a mess outside, and there were even ferocious beasts biting people everywhere. Jin Yuchen saw the shadow of wild beasts in Shen Qing’s other tent. , rushed back to the tent with the good sword, and as soon as she entered, she saw Shen Qingbie fainted on the ground, and it was Fu Bai who was fighting against the beast to protect her.

"Qingbye!" Jin Yuchen saw Shen Qingbie lying on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, and quickly ran over to pick up the unconscious Shen Qingbie, "Qingbye, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Qingbie... ..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fu Bai struggled to block the beast's attack, not letting the beast approach, "She fainted, quickly take her to the imperial physician outside, leave it to me here."

"Okay, okay, I'll take her away right away..." Jin Yuchen dropped the sword in his hand, quickly picked up Shen Qingbie and rushed out of the tent.

Seeing someone running out, the beast turned around and wanted to chase after him. Fu Bai jumped over and slammed his sword on its head and shouted: "Beast! Where are you looking?"

At the same time, Jin Mingzuo's tent was pitch black, and the figures lit by the fire outside were moving chaotically on the tent.

A black shadow sneaked in, and Jin Mingzuo just woke up when a cold light flashed, and a sword was slammed down on his neck.Jin Mingzuo was fairly nimble, so he avoided it, jumped aside, picked up his saber, pointed at her and asked, "Who are you? Who sent you here?"

Heiying didn't say a word, picked up the sword and slashed at him again, with a vicious look, swinging the sword extremely fast, did not give Jin Mingzuo a chance to speak at all.

Although Jin Mingzuo said that he was a brave general when he was young, but after all, he is old, and his movements will inevitably be slow.The man in black saw Jin Mingzuo's slow movement, so he accelerated his attack and stabbed his shoulder with a sword. Jin Mingzuo let out a cry of pain, and the man in black paused for a while before turning over and leaving.

"Father!"

It happened that Jin Xuefan came in with Gao Hu and a large group of people. Seeing Jin Mingzuo covering his injured and bleeding shoulder, he said angrily: "Search the paddock, the entire camp, search! Search every tent! Be sure to find them for me. Here comes the assassin!"

Seeing that Jin Mingzuo was so angry, Jin Xuefan didn't dare to say anything else, and cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my son is taking orders."

The fire outside had been extinguished, and all the wild animals were killed and locked up. Jin Xuefan led a large group of people, surrounded the entire camp, and led some people to search tent by tent.

While Jin Yuchen was holding Shen Qingbie's hand and looking forward to her waking up, Pei Yuanjin walked in with a solemn face, and said to him: "There is something to do, from now on, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful."
