Volume Two: Winds and Clouds in Kyoto Chapter 519 Qujing Rebellion
Huang Zhang knew that there was something wrong with Qu Jing, so he asked Hu Yi'er to investigate him privately, while he did things on the surface to attract Qu Jing's attention.
It may also be that Huang Zhang arrived too quickly, which caused Qujing to fail to do many things well, such as the matter at the granary just mentioned.
Huang Zhang, who made the false accounts, must have known about it, so he asked Hu Yier to secretly check it. The real account books are usually kept in the hands of trusted people. As long as he can find the capable subordinates around Qu Jing, he can track down the real account books.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"How to do this? This disaster in Langzhong County is all due to Qu Jing. I will make him spit out as much grain as he swallowed for me! You go and make an appointment with Qu Jing to have dinner with him at noon tomorrow, and tell him that I want to go with him
Discussing disaster relief matters.”
"clear!"
Later, Huang Zhang called Chen Lin over again.
"What's the relationship between Suo Ke and this Qu Jing?"
"As far as my subordinates know, this Suo Ke is very dissatisfied with Qu Jing. The acropolis where Suo Ke is stationed is about to run out of food. Qu Jing asked Suo Ke to lead troops to overcome it. Suo Ke guessed that he knew something about Qu Jing and secretly revealed it to me.
It reflects my attitude towards Qu Jing."
Huang Zhang nodded.
"Well, that's good! You ask Chen Lin to bring five hundred people to Panyan City and let him hide a little bit so as not to be discovered!"
"Your Highness is planning to take action against Qu Jing?"
Chen Lin immediately realized that this move was obviously preparing to take action against Qu Jing and take control of Panyan City!
"That's right!"
"My subordinate understands."
After saying that, Chen Lin left in a hurry.
Hu Yi'er soon made an appointment with Qu Jing, and Qu Jing readily agreed.
"The next day, Huang Zhang prepared a Hongmen banquet and waited for Qu Jing to come."
However, at noon, Qu Jing was still nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Huang Zhang curiously asked Hu Yier: "Did you notify him yesterday that it would be noon today?"
Hu Yi'er replied with great conviction: "Yes, what I told Qu Jing was today's noon! How about I go and urge him again, sir?"
While the two were talking, Chen Lin suddenly rushed in.
"Your Highness, what's wrong, a large number of people suddenly appeared outside and have surrounded the Prefecture."
Hearing this, Hu Yi'er's expression changed.
Only Huang Zhang sneered and said: "It's interesting, let's go! Go and have a look."
As soon as I reached the gate of the Prefect's Mansion, I saw a large number of unknown people outside the gate with bows and arrows drawn, and they were surrounded by people.
Seeing the eldest prince coming out, a person suddenly walked out of the crowd, it was Qu Jing.
"Qu Jing, are you going to rebel?" Chen Lin asked loudly.
Hearing Chen Lin's words, Qu Jing smiled lightly.
"I think this person must have misunderstood and rebelled? How dare I, a little governor of Langzhong County, dare! I am just helping the court to get rid of the murderer of the eldest prince!"
"Who are you talking about?" Qu Jing's words made Chen Lin quite puzzled.
"Of course it's you. His Highness the First Prince went to Ning Town to investigate the murder of an official, but unfortunately he was assassinated! As the bodyguard of His Highness the First Prince, he escaped when His Highness was in danger. I am hereby ordered to bring you to justice!"
"Qu Jing, are you blind? Can't you see that the person standing in front of you is His Highness the First Prince?"
Even though Hu Yi'er said this, Qu Jing still smiled.
Only Huang Zhang has been silent since he came out, standing and watching like a fool.
"Your Highness, Qu Jing is too courageous and actually intends to do evil to His Highness!" Chen Lin said.
Huang Zhang nodded.
"Obviously, he just wanted to kill me quietly and blame Ning Zhen."
"But how dare they do this? Aren't they afraid that the court will know?" Hu Yi'er said in disbelief.
Huang Zhang motioned for her to look around.
"If you look around, there is no one around. It's obvious that Qu Jing cleared the place. Plus I was very low-key when I came back. Naturally, he wanted to kill me directly without anyone noticing!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Qu Jing couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "As expected of the eldest prince, he is really smart, but he is a bit stupid. If you check my granary and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the city guard, are you planning to subdue me and control Panyan City? Just
It’s a pity that you shouldn’t do these little tricks on my territory!”
Huang Zhang didn't expect Qu Jing to have known about what he had done. No wonder he would strike first.
"I guess you are probably waiting for the reinforcements from Acropolis Suoke now, right?" Qu Jing said suddenly.
But then, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Your Highness, you are really naive. You don't think that Suo Ke will really listen to you, do you? It seems that your understanding of Suo Ke is not very deep."
"What do you mean?" Huang Zhang said with a solemn expression.
Although Huang Zhang didn't like Suo Ke either, Suo Ke was still a county commander after all. He was also responsible for his own death!
"Suo Ke's city is far deeper than His Highness thought. Your death is in Suo Ke's interest. In short, you must die during this trip to Langzhong!"
Although he didn't know what Qu Jing said, Huang Zhang knew that waiting for Suo Ke at this moment was indeed in vain.
After explaining this, Qu Jing said no more and directly ordered: "Come here, shoot the arrows!"
Immediately, the people guarding outside immediately released the tight arrow strings in their hands.
Fortunately, Huang Zhang and others dodge quickly, but the few guards who followed him outside were not so lucky. Some of them were shot by the stray soldiers and were slightly injured! Their lives were not affected.
After closing the door of the prefect's mansion, the guards brought by Chen Lin immediately rushed forward and blocked the door.
"Your Highness, the situation is critical now. I will fight my way out later to help Your Highness leave!" Chen Lin said hurriedly.
He didn't expect that Qu Jing would actually dare to attack the eldest prince, and Suo Ke. As long as one of them got out alive, these people would all die, and they would all be executed!
But at the moment, Huang Zhang seemed surprisingly calm, as if he didn't take this siege seriously at all.
"Give me the sword!" Huang Zhang extended his hand to Hu Yi'er and said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yier immediately handed him the Sword in his hand.
During this time, Huang Zhang had not used the Shuang Sword for a long time, so holding the sword in his hand unexpectedly seemed a bit strange.
"Old friends, it's been a long time since we fought side by side!"
Chen Lin was startled when he heard Huang Zhang's words.
"Your Highness, do you really want it?"
On the other hand, Hu Yi'er smiled and said: "You don't know the master's strength yet, just wait and see!"
After following Huang Zhang for so long, Hu Yier already has an understanding of Huang Zhang's strength.
She has seen scenes bigger than this one. This is a small scene at best.
However, Chen Lin knew nothing about Huang Zhang's strength. He had never thought that the eldest prince could use a sword?
"Open the door and let your people get out."
"But……"
Chen Lin wanted to say something else, but Huang Zhang had already walked up with the Sword.
Seeing this, Chen Lin had no choice but to follow Huang Zhang.
