"Zhang Chao will never be loyal to His Highness King Jing unless His Highness King Jing becomes an official!" Zhou He said categorically to Qin Kai, "You will gain nothing from this trip."

"Of course I know!" Qin Kai laughed, but there was an indescribable cunningness on his face.

Zhou He looked at the other party suspiciously: "Then you still want to go?"

"I have my own reason to go!" Qin Kai patted Zhou He on the shoulder, "Let's each do our own thing! You also have a heavy responsibility. Those heavyweights in Bianliang, you must take care of them when the time comes.

They are all in our hands. As long as these people are in our hands, the matter will be half solved."

"Don't worry, everything has been planned. There are dozens of action teams, each team has a hundred people. These gangsters can't do other things, but doing such kidnapping and robbery is a competition.

It's awesome." Zhou He said with a smile.

"Then let's say goodbye!" Qin Kai cupped his hands towards Zhou He, turned around and left with a smile.

Lin Ping sat by the fire, closing his eyes and meditating. He also couldn't figure it out.

Knowing that Zhang Chao could not betray Zhao Suo, why did they still do such a meaningless thing?

No, no, no, neither King Jing nor Hong Yuan are incompetent. How could they do a meaningless thing?

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou He, and said: "This Qin Kai didn't go to persuade Zhang Chao, he went to kill Zhang Chao."

Zhou He shook his head like a rattle, "How is this possible? Don't say that Qin Kai is just a scholar, even if he is brave enough to win the three armies, how could he possibly kill Zhang Chao? Zhang Chao is the emperor of the dynasty. This time he returns

Beijing, but with thousands of troops who had just experienced battles on the battlefield, and he was also traveling with the Prince of Qishui of Daliao, the guards around Prince Qishui were probably only one in a hundred, or one in a thousand, how could he

Maybe you can assassinate Zhang Chao?"

Lin Ping was also puzzled, but apart from this explanation, there was no other reason that could reasonably explain Qin Kai's actions.

"Maybe they have some methods that we can't think of, but it doesn't matter. Qin Kai's target is Zhang Chao, not the prince, so we don't have to worry too much. If Zhang Chao dies, he will die. Maybe it is better to die.

There are really not many famous and capable generals in the Song Dynasty. If one dies, one will be missing, hahaha!"

Did Qin Kaizhen really go to assassinate Zhang Chao as Lin Ping suspected?

The answer is correct.

He was indeed going to assassinate Zhang Chao, but the complicated situation here was such that even Lin Ping couldn't guess the twists and turns.

Among the people involved in this incident, it was not just King Jing's people.

There are also people from the Northwest.

There are also people who have traveled thousands of miles and traveled all the way from the Liao Kingdom to Jingdao.

Some of these people wanted Zhang Chao dead.

Another group of people wanted Yelujun to die.

When Lin Ping scratched his head and couldn't figure out how they were going to complete this assassination, Qin Kai was sitting in a dilapidated adobe house, chopping wood and burning, but he couldn't stop it.

There were cracks everywhere on the roof and walls, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles blew in, making the house still very cold.

Sitting opposite Qin Kai, one was tall and full of anger, while the other had a round face that looked full of joy.

"General Qiu, the people I brought are all prepared to die and are not prepared to go back alive. Where are your people?" Qin Kai looked at the big man opposite. "Do you Liao people have such a heart to regard death as home?"

"

"Qin, please stop talking nonsense. I have already attacked Qishui County King twice on the road, killing hundreds of brothers. The last fifty brothers who are with me now, if they were afraid of death, they would have gone back long ago.

, and followed him all the way here eagerly. Even if we succeed here, can we still go back? We are all people who have received great kindness from the prince, and we have nothing to repay. We can only repay it with death. "

Qiu Huanshan, the governor of Shangjing Road in the Liao Kingdom, and the confidant general of the county king Yeluxi. Yeluxi was the last obstacle and the most powerful challenger for Yelujun to ascend the throne of the Liao Kingdom. However, in the past few years, Yelujun had repeatedly suffered heavy losses to the Song Dynasty.

, the limelight was unparalleled in Daliao for a while, and Yeluxi was suppressed.

If Yelu didn't do something, when Yelujun returned from his mission to the Song Dynasty, he would be even more disappointed. He would have no other choice but to kneel in front of Yelujun.

The key point is that even if he kneels down, it won't end well.

As an opponent who had challenged Yelujun and a powerful Liao king, it goes without saying what happened to him after the new emperor came to the throne.

Besides a dead son, is there anything else?

Death is not just the death of one person, but the death of his entire family, tribe, and core people, and everyone else will become the slaves of others.

Therefore, Yeluxi had to fight with his last glimmer of hope.

Kill Yelujun and it will be over.

All he brought were dead soldiers.

The people brought by Qin Kai were generally like this.

The people brought by Qiu Huanshan were all Xiongjiujiu warriors, but the people brought by Qin Kai looked like they were all crooked and cracked, and none of them were normal. They were either lame or blind, or missing arms.

Few legs.

These people were not born with disabilities. All of them were injured after being injured on the battlefield, and these people, without exception, all came from Prince Jing's Mansion.

King Jing has raised them for many years.

Now, they're ready to return the favor.

The round and happy man is called Xu Shen, from the Western Army.

His reputation is not well known, and not many people know his origins, but his father's name is Xu Wuyan, who is the chief steward of the Xiao family in the capital.

"According to General Qiu's previous experience, it is impossible to attack the opponent while they are encamped. Ye Lujun and Zhang Chao are both veteran generals in the army and are very experienced. When they set up camp,

Within a few miles, no strangers will be allowed to approach, so we can only take action while they are marching." Xu Shen spread his hands and said, "They only know how to clear the road and drive away people on the official road.

Going both ways, this is our opportunity."

"On the official road, their guards cannot be deployed in a battle formation, but will be stretched into a long snake. Therefore, we have about the time of an incense stick to launch an attack." Qiu Huanshan continued.

"It's impossible to have half a stick of incense. These guards are all experienced warriors. At most, it takes half a stick of incense, and it's still under the situation where we created huge chaos." Qin Kai shook his head and said: "Half a stick of incense, if you can't

Achieving your goal can be considered a failure."

"If this still doesn't kill the other party, then it can only be said that this is what fate is!" Xu Shen said: "You two, everything we can provide you has been delivered. We will not do anything about what happens next.

participate."

Qin Kai nodded: "On behalf of His Royal Highness King Jing, I would like to thank General Manager Xiao for his great help. Once King Jing succeeds, he will definitely call General Manager Xiao back to Beijing to take charge of national military affairs."

Xu Shen smiled and bowed.

After thinking about it for a long time, seeing that the sky was getting dark, Qiu Huanshan said goodbye and left, and Xu Shen was also ready to leave.

"Mr. Qin, if Yelujun is really killed, will a war break out immediately between Song and Liao?" Xu Shen suddenly turned around and asked as he walked to the door of the broken house.

"Wouldn't this be better?" Qin Kai's face flashed with incomparable anger: "Only at this time can those people remember that King Jing gave them many years of ease, and only at that time can they remember

It was only the blood and sweat of countless frontier soldiers that kept peace."

Xu Shen nodded, it's true. In this world, there are so many people who have healed their scars and forgotten the pain. If it weren't for the defeat in Hebei, Cui Ang wouldn't be so heartbroken, and the officials wouldn't be more afraid of this second son.

.

Because it was precisely this defeat that made King Jing's reputation suddenly rise several notches.

As Qin Kai said, only when they fail will people remember the preciousness of the good old days.

"For your general manager, if the two sides are really going to fight, won't he also have a chance to show off his skills?" Qin Kaidao said.

Xu Shen laughed: "Even now, our Western Army is fighting fiercely with the Xijing Road of Liao Kingdom. Mr. Qin, I wish you good luck, I will go back to resume my life soon."

"It would be nice if there were more things you sent me!" Qin Kai said with regret.

"It's easy for you to say. This thing is extremely troublesome to make and extremely dangerous. We, the general manager, have saved up for years to get these. We brought them all to you." Xu Shen said: "Here you go, we are working on it."

Several fortified cities in the west were filled with human lives. Mr. Qin, I hope to hear good news from you."

"We will definitely win!" Qin Kai said with certainty.

The wind and snow continued all night, and at dawn, the entire world was completely shrouded in white. During the day, someone stepped out of an official road with black marks inlaid between the sky and the earth. At this moment, it was covered with white snow again.

covered.

But even though the weather was extremely cold, there was still a lot of people coming and going on the road.

We are almost entering the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture here. Compared with other places, there are more official people. People pushing carts, carrying burdens, carrying baskets, leading various livestock, and driving all kinds of people.

This kind of carriage started walking on the snow in an endless stream early in the morning. Soon, a new stain was added between the pure white sky and earth.

The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance, and a moment later, two teams of cavalry appeared in everyone's sight. These people waved their whips and shouted loudly. Amidst the curses of everyone, they cleaned up the official path.

Everyone on.

Yes, that's everyone.

Regardless of whether you are a common soldier or a high-ranking official, you are all treated equally at this moment. You roll down the official road and have to leave the official road dozens of steps away, while these cavalry rein in their horses and stand up, isolating these people from the official road. These

The samurai looked extremely capable, holding their swords and sitting firmly on their horses, their falcon-like eyes constantly scanning the crowd.

If there is any disagreement, he will draw a knife and kill someone.

A large group of people came rolling in from a distance, and the waving flags showed the identity of the people coming. Some people who were cursing at first couldn't help but shut their mouths after seeing these flags.

It’s not unfair to be driven away!
