After hearing Jiang Xiao's order, the expressions of the other three "Chaofeng" dead men on the awning boat changed slightly.
Over the years, the "Chaofeng" organization has naturally done a lot of dirty and wet work, and has created countless wronged souls. Even the tragic death of the former Crown Prince and Grand Master He Ming was at their hands.
But when they set out to exterminate the entire He Ming clan, they chose the location in the wilderness, so there was no need to worry about interference from all forces;
He Ming himself had always shunned party-related matters. He was alone in the temple and had few die-hard cronies. Therefore, even if this massacre shocked both the government and the public, not many people would really take it to heart.
Above, I am willing to use all my strength for revenge for He Ming;
What's more, the "Chaofeng" organization showed no signs of exposure at the time and was completely hidden in the dark. It was fully prepared before the operation and successfully framed this massacre that shocked both the government and the opposition.
But now, Jiang Xiao actually wanted to gather all his men to storm Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, but the nature was completely different.
First of all, they not only need to take action in Nanjing City, but Nanjing City is currently under martial law, and they may encounter accidents at any time, and they must always worry about interference from all parties;
Huo Zhengyuan himself is a high-profile academician of the imperial court. He is the patrol envoy to the southeast. He also has the powerful minister Zhao Junchen as his backer. Even Emperor Deqing pays great attention to him. Therefore, if something happens to Huo Zhengyuan, the imperial court will definitely take action.
If we get to the bottom of it, the "Zhao Party" forces will definitely take full revenge at all costs;
As for the "Chaofeng" organization itself, it is now the first time that it is facing the risk of being exposed. It was not fully prepared before the action. Some insignificant small actions are just fine, but if the action is too big, it will inevitably further increase the number of "
The danger of exposure of the "Chaofeng" organization;
Under such circumstances, if Jiang Xiao wanted to lead the "Chaofeng" soldiers to attack Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence head-on, it would be an act of self-destruction!
Therefore, even if the dead soldiers of "Chaofeng" had experienced years of brainwashing and control, and had already turned obedience to orders into instinct, they could not help but have doubts at this time, and did not respond to Jiang Xiao's crazy order immediately.
One of the higher-status "Chaofeng" dead men hesitated for a moment, then bravely questioned: "Boss Jiang, didn't you just make an agreement with that Tang Cheng to wait for the target to leave Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence alone?"
Ambushed and captured alive? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Directly attacking Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence is too risky..."
Halfway through, the "Chaofeng" dead man noticed Jiang Xiao looking at him with cold eyes. He couldn't help but feel panicked and didn't dare to continue talking.
Jiang Xiao naturally noticed the hesitation in the hearts of the other three "Chaofeng" soldiers on the ship, and he knew very well that his order was indeed a bit crazy, and it was also because of his obsession that he pushed the "Chaofeng" organization into
The situation was dangerous, and there was no endorsement from the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, so he had to come up with sufficient reasons to convince these "chao Feng" dead men.
With Jiang Xiao's prestige, although he can force the "Chaofeng" soldiers to execute orders, it will inevitably make the "Chaofeng" soldiers have scruples when taking actions and lose their decisiveness, so they will not be able to exert their "Chaofeng" skills.
The true strength of the organization.
Therefore, after Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment, not only did he not punish the "Chaofeng" dead soldier who raised the objection, but he slowly explained: "That Tang Cheng... nine times out of ten is a traitor!
When he was asking me questions, even though he was full of fear, he could answer every question I asked proficiently without thinking. It was completely contrary to common sense, and every word in his words had hidden meanings. After many times,
After careful consideration, you want to mislead me and make me misjudge the situation!
Obviously, before meeting me, he had rehearsed all the situations after meeting me many times, and he was well prepared! Therefore, Tang Cheng had most likely betrayed me and chose to confess everything to Huo Zhengyuan, otherwise he would
I can't explain his behavior!
If I really listened to his suggestion and led you to ambush the target after the target left Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, I would have fallen into a trap, and there would be a bigger ambush waiting for us! We think we are hunters, but in fact
On the other hand, you have become a prey and will only fall completely into the trap!"
Hearing Jiang Xiao's explanation, several "Chaofeng" dead soldiers could not help but be shocked. Their expressions became more solemn, and they listened more intently to Jiang Xiao's further explanation.
Seeing the changes in the attitudes of these "Chaofeng" dead soldiers, Jiang Xiao knew that he would soon be able to convince them to fully obey the order.
The key point of the so-called "persuasion" is not to use reason to persuade others, but to try to shake the other party's belief, make the other party have uncontrollable self-doubt, no longer believe in one's previous judgment, and then put oneself
ideas into the other person's mind.
After a pause, Jiang Xiao continued: "However, I did not expose Tang Cheng's counterfeit on the spot. Instead, I pretended to listen to his proposal. In fact, I wanted to use Tang Cheng to mislead Huo Zhengyuan and make Huo Zhengyuan mistakenly think that I was not involved.
He won't take action directly, nor will he act immediately. He still has more time to gather people to lay out an ambush!
Under such circumstances, Huo Zhengyuan would take it lightly, lower his vigilance, and even feign ignorance to avoid arousing my suspicion, and deliberately not arrange more defense forces around him! In this way, it is a great opportunity for us to take action directly!
After all, Huo Zhengyuan is a bachelor of the imperial court and the patrol envoy to the southeast. If we delay taking action and leave him more time, he will definitely be able to use various methods to gather more power, so the sooner we take action, the better it will be for us.
!
And if you choose to take action tonight, you can catch Huo Zhengyuan off guard and directly kill or capture the target alive with a thunderous attack. You can also evacuate Nanjing immediately after the operation is over. All forces have no time to react and cannot support to disrupt the situation.
! It seems that we are taking advantage of the fire, but in fact we have the best chance of winning and the least risk!"
While speaking, Jiang Xiao observed carefully and found that although the three "Chaofeng" dead soldiers had been gradually persuaded by him, they still had doubts, so he continued: "You don't have to worry that our action will trigger the imperial court.
Strict investigation and counterattack! When we storm Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, we will not directly harm Huo Zhengyuan and his confidants. At most, we will only temporarily hold them hostage, and will never cause shock to the government and the public!
What's more, I judge that Huo Zhengyuan also has something evil in his heart. The target I am chasing is also a person who must never see the light of day. Huo Zhengyuan must not dare to expose his relationship with this person, otherwise he will suffer a lot of criticism from all walks of life.
, so Huo Zhengyuan would rather recruit a group of humble people to work for him privately than inform the government of the information he has, just because he has a guilty conscience!
After we stormed Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, as long as we had a good sense of proportion and ensured that Huo Zhengyuan and his subordinates were not harmed, Huo Zhengyuan would have no choice but to swallow this dumb loss afterwards and not dare to make the matter a big deal. We will still
We can continue to hide our whereabouts, and there is no need to worry that this matter will expose our whereabouts!"
At this point, the three "Chaofeng" dead soldiers were finally persuaded by Jiang Xiao. They believed that Jiang Xiao's idea was more comprehensive, so they all bowed their heads and obeyed his orders without raising any questions.
Jiang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Before you convey the order and call all the 'Chaofeng' to take action, tell everyone what I just said, so that everyone does not have any doubts! Most of you are composed of
I personally selected and trained you, I have invested a lot of effort in you, and I will try my best to ensure your safety no matter what action you take!"
When the three "Chaofeng" dead men were all convinced, Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "Also, contact the team to return to Nanjing in advance. 'Chaofeng' is currently wanted by the Nanjing government.
Tell them...the next step is their chance to atone for their crimes! Let them show up at three o'clock tonight, deliberately let the Nanjing officials discover their whereabouts, try to attract the pursuit of all forces in Nanjing, and then flee ten miles west of Zhanyuan.
At a location outside...there, someone will pick them up, arrange a way out for them, and ensure their safety!"
*
Just when Jiang Xiao was ready to take action, Tang Cheng also hurried back to Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, and then immediately met Huo Zhengyuan and told Huo Zhengyuan in detail about his contact with Jiang Xiao.
After telling his experience, Tang Cheng turned to Hu Xiao and asked: "Master Hu, have your tracking experts successfully traced Jiang Xiao's whereabouts, and have they found Jiang Xiao?"
His hiding place?"
Hu Xiao's expression was a little ugly, and he shook his head and said: "We haven't seen him for many years. Jiang Xiao's methods have become more cautious and thoughtful. I never expected that his dead soldiers would have the courage to accept the interrogation of the government patrol when they were acting.
The tracking experts under me were all ferocious-looking people who could easily arouse the suspicion of the government patrols. They did not dare to accept the same questioning from the government people, and they did not dare to follow the same route, so they were quickly lost.
achieved the goal.”
Hearing what Hu Xiao said, Tang Cheng couldn't help but look dissatisfied. However, he was not sure about Hu Xiao's true identity and was afraid of the desperado temperament shown by Hu Xiao's raised hands and feet, so he did not dare to criticize directly.
.
But at the same time, Tang Cheng found out strangely that when he heard his conversation with Hu Xiao, Huo Zhengyuan was always smiling and did not show any disappointment at all.
