After the family dinner, even in the south, the climate in the entire city of Chengdu began to get colder and colder.
On this day, Jia Zhou entered the palace again.
"Lord, I have an idea."
Xu Mu, who was looking at the dossier, looked overjoyed when he heard this.
"Wen Long, is it possible that he is plotting to kill Huo Fu and already has a good plan?"
"It is not a perfect strategy, but at least it can destroy Huo Fu's general position in the first step. My lord, please note that if you want to force Huo Fu to death, judging from the current situation, it is impossible to do it in one step. After all, the entire Beiyu,
Huo Fu is extremely valued."
"Of course." Xu Mu nodded. Huo Fu's importance to Xi Shu and his threat to Xi Shu were extraordinary.
Jia Zhou sat down, sorted out his words and spoke.
"My lord, you can send a generous gift first and enter the inner city to present it to the King of Yuzhou."
"Why is that."
Jia Zhou smiled and said, "It's very simple. In this way, the king of Yuzhou will return the favor, and when the time comes, the envoys from Beiyu will also enter Chengdu. Once the envoys arrive, they can use counterintuitive tactics."
"I heard that Huo Fu has a son who is extremely useless. As for Shangguan Yan and others, they are hiding in Tong City. I guess it will be difficult to kill Huo Fu. However, it would be much easier to deal with Huo Fu's son.
When the time comes, you can order Shangguan Yan to use a substitute to disfigure his face, let Huo Fu's son fake his death, and take him into Chengdu."
"Wenlong, what happens next?"
"My lord, just imagine that the envoy from Beiyu entered Chengdu and saw the mansion and generals rewarded by the lord, as well as Huo Fu's son who was originally dead in the mansion. What would the envoy think? Of course, this thing is confusing to people.
It is better not to expose the matter too openly, so that the envoys can see it accidentally. This will also increase the credibility."
Xu Mu thought for a while and suddenly laughed.
"As expected of Wenlong, this plan is very good."
Jia Zhou was not arrogant, but his expression became more solemn.
"Lord, please note that although this plan is easy to succeed, there must be no mistakes in the process, otherwise Chang Sheng will find out the clues."
"The first step is to let Shangguan Yan in Tongcheng find a way to kidnap Huo Fu's son and fake his death. This step will make Chang Sheng think in the future that Huo Fu used the golden cicada to escape his shell and let his son go to Shu first.
, made a proton to show loyalty.”
"Bringing people from Tongcheng to Chengdu, in such weather, not only has to avoid the eyes and ears of the iron execution platform, but also the Beiyu defenders on the border, even if they travel day and night and are careful, it will take at least half a month. Moreover, among them,
There can’t be any mistakes.”
"As for my lord, I can give gifts tomorrow. In order to avoid Chang Sheng's suspicion, my lord used the excuse of the meeting to express his gratitude. With Xi Shu's weak power, Chang Sheng may have doubts, but he should not find anything.
Don’t let go.”
"Wenlong, I understand."
Jia Zhou exhaled, "It can really force Huo Fu to death and delay Beiyu's training as a navy. It will be a huge benefit to me in Xishu."
"Wen Long, I plan to meet with the people from the South China Sea Alliance to consolidate the alliance."
"Although Zhao Di and these state kings have an old relationship with my lord, my lord must remember that one day when Western Shu is defeated, these people are likely to defect to Beiyu. Compared with friendship, the continuation of the family is the most important
.Moreover, the master still follows the folk way, which is somewhat incompatible with them."
"But don't worry, lord. I believe that as long as Western Shu is not defeated, Zhao Di and others will not betray the lord and switch to Beiyu."
In troubled times, interests come first. This is an eternal truth.
Now that he heard Jia Zhou's plan, Xu Mu's heart finally relaxed.
"Some time ago, the news sent back by Shangguan Yan also mentioned Huo Fu's son. It is said that because his legitimate son died on the river, Huo Fu felt guilty in his heart. He had always doted on his second son, and finally developed a good relationship with him.
Dandy." Jia Zhou said with a smile, "I believe that as long as Shangguan Yan uses some means, it shouldn't be difficult to capture this dude."
"As for the secret message, I sent it out yesterday."
…
Seven or eight days later.
In Tongcheng, under the wind and snow, the Qing Pavilion was still busy with business even though the New Year was approaching. At this time, a handsome man in the Qing Pavilion was talking nonstop.
"My father is Huo Fu, the commander-in-chief of Beiyu's 200,000-strong navy!"
Immediately, the voice of the young master in gorgeous robes caused bursts of cheers. A young oiran threw herself into the arms of the young master, wearing a thin silk skirt, and tried her best to push into the young master's arms.
"You must have taken a fancy to my talent, Huo Rong." Mr. Hua Pao laughed and snapped his fingers. A guard following him took out a large ingot of silver and placed it on the table.
The little oiran smiled even more charmingly and quickly put the money into her sleeves.
"After the war between the north and the south, Western Shu was destroyed. My father, Huo Fu, was the first to achieve success in Northern Chongqing. He was the minister of Conglong. Just wait and see, my Huo family will definitely be granted the title of marquis one day."
These words immediately attracted a second wave of applause. The entire atmosphere in the Qing Hall suddenly became more cheerful.
"Fool."
Lying on the tiled roof of the Qing Hall, Shangguan Yan's face turned red and she cursed lightly. Behind her, there were seven or eight other men with swords, also lying in the wind and snow.
The secret message from Chengdu was to fake death, disfigure the face, and abduct the son of the Huo family into Chengdu.
Shangguan Yan turned around and glanced at the person next to him.
"Blue robe, black scarf, silver hair crown, and a warm jade with the word "phoenix" in his arms. The leader of the Shangguan and the swapped corpses have all been replaced."
Shangguan Yan turned his face again and looked down at the crowd clearing the hall.
"Will that idiot stay the night?"
"I checked and found out that Huo Fu didn't allow him to stay outside overnight. He is probably ready to leave."
"As soon as he leaves the clearing house, take action immediately. Don't forget to add to the fire."
"Don't worry, leader."
…
Two hours later, when the sky was getting dark, Huo Rong walked out with a sigh. Behind him, there was clearly a hint of resentment in the eyes of the little oiran.
Huo Rong hurriedly handed over another ingot of silver.
"Master Huo was so majestic just now." The little oiran was overjoyed.
The satisfied Huo Rong, with many people watching, laughed gracefully twice before he stepped up and walked out of the Qing Palace.
The snow in Tongcheng has turned into goose feathers.
Huo Rong, who had not yet entered the carriage, suddenly looked up and saw several figures suddenly falling from the sky. The accompanying guards drew their swords and shouted angrily, and then left to fight.
Four or five flying knives broke through the snow curtain and pierced the bodies of the guards. In an instant, two guards died beside the carriage.
"Who dares to touch me? My father is Huo Fu, the naval commander!" Huo Rong shouted anxiously, but he did not dare to pick up the knife and fight, so he could only rush into the clearing house with his head in his hands.
tread.
Shangguan Yan, who was covering his pockmarked face, jumped down using Qinggong and kicked Huo Rong away. Before Huo Rong could cry out in pain, he lifted him up to the tile roof like a chicken.
Bang.
After being knocked unconscious with a knife, Shangguan Yan made a gesture.
Not long after, another dead body fell from the roof in a bloody state.
"fire."
The fire burned fiercely, wrapping several guards and the body of "Huo Rong" in it.
"The leader of my family said that he can't stand the wealth of the Huo family. Today he will kill one of the Huo family members, and tomorrow he will slaughter the entire Huo family!"
After shouting, Shangguan Yan quickly disappeared into the wind and snow with his men and horses.
