"Kill?" Yang Bin deliberately pretended to be greedy. He held five gold cakes and said, "I'm afraid those who can afford to pay to kill this big shot are not ordinary people, right?"
In order to show off his connections, Shu Sanlang said coquettishly: "Isn't that right? Do you know, the head of the house? Today, the steward of the Donghou Mansion came to see me personally!"
In Donghou's Mansion, anyone who can take out five gold cakes in one breath is definitely not a small role.
But Yang Bin didn't expect that it was the big fish from Donghou Mansion.
Naturally, Yang Bin, a player who works as an internal defender, also understands Dong Hou.
The old aristocrats of Gaochang City have been "disobedient to the king" since Gaochang surrendered, and they are the thorn in the side of Gaochang's powerful people.
When Cui Tao was in charge of Xizhou, he wanted to attack Dong Hou many times, but the opponent was deeply entrenched and cunning in doing things, so he never gave Cui Tao a chance.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Yang Bin didn't expect that he would be the first player to trigger this "hidden mission".
His original plan was to infiltrate the gangs in Gaochang City and then slowly control the entire gangs in Gaochang to form an underground intelligence network.
But he didn't expect that Shusaburo would give himself such a "surprise" just after occupying Fulefang.
Yang Bin asked: "Stop bragging. How could the steward of Donghou Mansion ask you to do something and give out so much gold? This much gold is enough to buy your life and mine!"
Yang Bin deliberately used the method of provoking the general, and sure enough, Shu Saburo took the bait.
He quickly said: "Master, I don't like to hear what you are saying. I, Shu Sanlang, am also a well-known figure. This is something that the Donghou Mansion cannot handle, so I am entrusted with it."
Yang Bin saw that Shu Sanlang had indeed taken the bait, and asked again: "If we go to assassinate someone who even Marquis Dong can't deal with, aren't our lives in vain?"
Shu Sanlang said: "Don't worry, the leader, we have already agreed that the Donghou Mansion will investigate the whereabouts of that big shot, and we will arrange the location of the assassination ourselves. We will arrange a place that is convenient for escape. As long as we kill that person,
Take ten gold cakes and go to the Western Regions to hide for a while, and when you come back in a few days, you will be a good man again!"
Shusaburo didn't say that the reward he had agreed upon was thirty gold cakes, but he just insisted that the reward would be ten gold cakes.
Yang Bin looked at Shu Sanlang, then looked at the gold cake pretending to be greedy, and then said: "Okay, tell me first, who is the person you want to kill?"
Shu Sanlang lowered his voice and said, "It's King Jianning."
Yang Bin pretended to be surprised and said: "Are you crazy!? You want to kill King Jianning? That's the prince!"
Shu Sanlang said quickly: "My master, please keep your voice down. If we don't kill people like King Jianning, do we still need to take action? The Donghou Mansion can handle the matter by itself."
"King Jianning will come to Xizhou for inspection soon. At that time, the Donghou Mansion will inquire about King Jianning's itinerary, and we will arrange a murder plan."
"As long as you can kill King Jianning, you can take the money and run away with ease wherever you go."
"Also, I heard from the people in Donghou's house that as long as we kill King Jianning, after the prince ascends the throne, he will be rich and powerful!"
Prince!?
Yang Bin's breathing became rapid. Could it be that the prince was the mastermind behind this assassination operation?
It seems that I have triggered some huge plot!
Yang Bin controlled the ecstasy in his heart, and then said: "Let's do it! If you are the head of this Fulefang, you will not earn so many gold cakes in ten years. You can find wealth in danger!"
Then Yang Bin said: "You should keep in touch with the Donghou Mansion. I will gather the brothers and see how to assassinate King Jianning!"
After seeing off Shu Sanlang, Yang Bin was so excited that he immediately reported the matter to the system. Sure enough, within an hour, an epic mission appeared in front of him.
【Defend King Jianning! Catch the conspirator who plans to assassinate King Jianning.】
[Player Yang Bin discovered that someone wants to assassinate King Jianning, stop them! Catch all the guys who are planning to assassinate King Jianning! 】
[Epic mission—"Eradicate the threat"! 】
[Arrest Hou Dong who planned to assassinate King Jianning and collect evidence that he planned to assassinate King Jianning! 】
[Mission reward: Complete all mission objectives and you can get:]
[1. The position of brigade commander in the Xuanjing Division. With the position, you can recruit 20 subordinates, and the salary of the subordinates will be paid by the Xuanjing Division. ]
[2, Epic title: Loyal Guard, Forum Special Medal.]
[3. Contribution point rewards, internal defender career experience point rewards. 】
[This task can be completed by the player alone, or other players can be recruited to complete it together. Tasks shared with others are blue rare tasks. Only forum medals, contribution points and career experience points can be obtained. 】
Epic mission!
Yang Bin was very excited when he saw this mission. This is an epic mission that has only appeared three times in the game!
Any player who completes this task is now the top boss in the game!
Yang Bin paced back and forth in the room excitedly, but how to complete this task?
If he does it alone, he can get all the contribution points and career experience.
Yang Bin can also recruit players, which will share his contribution points and experience, but the position in the Xuanjing Division and the epic title reward are still his alone.
In this case, in order to ensure that the task can be completed, Yang Bin decided to recruit players to do it.
But for such a secret mission, it is definitely not suitable to publicly post on the forum to recruit players.
Yang Bin decided to contact a few player friends who were already serving as internal guards and ask them to come to Xizhou to complete the mission together.
Yang Bin searched for a long time in his friend list, and finally found four friends with whom he had good relationships and good mouths. He shared the mission with them and asked them to come to Gaochang City as soon as possible.
After calming down his excitement, Yang Bin began to formulate an action plan.
There are actually two difficulties in this mission. The first is to capture Dong Hou. This task is not difficult. Although Dong Hou is a wealthy family in Gaochang City, Gaochang's army and government officials are in the hands of the player.
Marquis Dong also had no ability to rebel.
In contrast, the most difficult thing was to find evidence that Dong Hou planned to assassinate King Jianning.
It can even be said that as long as the second task is completed, you can directly report to the governor's office in Xizhou and let the governor's office send troops to capture Dong Hou.
However, it is very difficult to find evidence that Dong Hou planned to assassinate. Yang Bin must bypass the middleman Shu Sanlang and directly contact the Dong Hou family.
All this will have to wait until the players arrive. The most important thing now is to stabilize the Donghou Mansion. Anyway, King Jianning has to patrol Shazhou first, and will not come to Xizhou City until ten days. By then, the Donghou Mansion will definitely
If you want to find out more about King Jianning's itinerary, then is the best time.
King Jianning, who had already learned through the system that Donghou Mansion wanted to assassinate him, sneered.
Originally, Li Yan had long wanted to deal with these old nobles in Gaochang City. At the last Shazhou meeting, these old nobles advocated opening up the salt and iron monopoly, which made the Bafu very passive.
This time, he actually planned to assassinate himself.
However, Li Yan also had mixed feelings. Was this assassination carried out by the Donghou family to figure out the prince's wishes, or was it the prince's personal instruction?
When Li Yan was on a mission to the Uighurs from Shang Bo, he asked him to inquire about information in the Uighurs. Before he crossed over, he was attacked by Uighur cavalry disguised as bandits. Who instigated it?
It is a pity that Shang Bo never found any information in Uighur, and Li Yan only suspected that the prince was behind the scenes.
He couldn't help but sigh. In Li Yan's memory before time travel, the prince's brother was a kind eldest brother.
However, Li Yan also knows very well that in the game of power, unnecessary virtues such as kindness will soon be discarded, just like how his father killed Uncle Yong Wang. No matter how deep the flesh-and-blood love between the Tian family is, as long as it involves
The struggle for power will become "brothers, friends and brothers."
After calming down, Wang Jianning's vast motorcade finally set off.
This time he wanted to inspect his territory and check the development and changes of the territory under his rule during this period.
Li Yan took a luxurious carriage built by the player, protected by loyal soldiers carefully selected from the Moli Doulu Army, and surrounded by officials, gentry, and literary figures from the three states, and began to head north from Shazhou City.
Li Yan will inspect the territory of Shazhou, go north to Xizhou to reach Gaochang City, and then go up to Beiting Protectorate.
Yang Yan is now also an official in the Ba Mansion. Li Yan still treats this famous person who created the Two Taxes Law quite favorably.
This kind of temporary hero's ability is no worse than that of players. If he can be cultivated, he will definitely be as talented as top players.
So Li Yan arranged for Yang Yan to work at the Salt and Iron Bureau and let him serve as Jiang Lun's deputy in judging matters at the Salt and Iron Bureau.
Regarding this local aboriginal, Jiang Lun found that his learning ability was indeed very strong. On weekdays, he would have to explain things to his subordinate aboriginal officials for a long time, but Yang Yan could learn it almost instantly, and would also ask more questions by drawing inferences.
Even for some questions Jiang Lun had to consult a large amount of information before he could answer Yang Yan.
Yang Yan also developed a strong interest in economics. In order to be able to guide Yang Yan, Jiang Lun read the economics textbook that he didn't like to read many times in class. He obviously played a game. Jiang Lun felt that his academic level was
The increase is visible to the naked eye!
This time when he was inspecting the territory, King Jianning brought Jiang Lun and Yang Yan with him.
In addition, a group of [official] players including Cui Tao, as well as players who chose to become [general] as guards, left Shazhou City in a mighty convoy.
Nowadays, the official road in Shazhou has been widened. Sitting in the carriage with Jiang Lun, Yang Yan looked at the spacious and solid road and admired:
"Even Qin Zhidao in the pass is nothing more than this!"
Qinzhidao is a "highway" built by the First Emperor. The Qinzhidao left in the pass has been repaired and maintained through the ages and is the best highway of this era.
Now the road in Shazhou is as wide as Qinzhidao. Jiang Lun looked at the road but shook his head and said: "It's just a compacted dirt road. If asphalt can be made, it will really be a road!"
