Chapter 374 The conspiracy of killing two birds with one stone
Lizhu almost laughed out loud, Zhao Ming seemed to be a bit shameless.
"Master Zhao, that's unnecessary. You and I are not familiar with each other, so let's just say goodbye."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming realized that he had acted too hastily, and hurriedly said: "Princess, don't worry, I just want to show my friendship to the landlord. Since the princess doesn't like it, I won't bother you."
Until this moment, he still thought it was Lizhu who was being shy. You must know that when he was pursuing the Xu family daughter, they scolded her even worse than this, but he didn't take it seriously.
But at this moment, Yang Xuan appeared out of nowhere.
"Master Zhao, the princess is being polite to you, why are you so shameless? You have to be scolded to feel comfortable?"
"Yang Xuan? You..."
"What are you doing? You don't understand people. They say they don't know you well and tell you to get out of here." Yang Xuan didn't save face for him at all: "This is an envoy from another country. When will it be your turn to be on guard?"
I'm here to receive you, but I'm not going to defend the city obediently. I can't do any serious things, so I still have the nerve to wander around."
Zhao Ming was about to get angry on the spot, but when he saw the stern eyes of Lizhu on the side, he suppressed his anger and said: "I won't argue with you, lest the princess thinks that we Dasheng people don't understand etiquette."
Then he bowed his hands to Lizhu, said goodbye and left.
Yang Xuan and Lizhu looked at each other with helpless expressions at the same time.
Is this guy into a show?
Yang Xuan said: "Let's go eat roast lamb later. I haven't had roast lamb for a long time. Since you are the host, I will follow my own preferences."
"Okay, let's just eat roast lamb. I haven't eaten it for a while."
While eating, Yang Xuan told Lizhu: "Get ready in the past two days. We will leave for Wutoupu in a while. That is the real frontline. You need to be careful about everything. Then you will come with me.
Go, don't reveal your identity."
Lizhu nodded and showed a sweet smile, because she felt Yang Xuan's concern.
In the next few days, Zhao Ming failed every time to create a chance encounter. Either Lizhu gave him cold words or was ridiculed by Yang Xuan. After several days in a row, Zhao Ming couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply hid at home and started drinking.
liquor.
Zhao Mo was also anxious to know the progress of Zhao Ming. Since he hadn't seen Zhao Ming for a few days, he simply found his home.
"Is it Yang Xuan who ruined your good deeds again?"
Zhao Ming took a sip of wine and said, "This guy always ruins our affairs. I really want to kill him."
"You'd better endure it a little longer, maybe there will be such a chance."
Zhao Ming's drinking hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes lit up: "Brother, what's the news?"
Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled: "In response to the news from Tianfu, the Prairie Royal Court is preparing to send troops to assist in the war. Princess Livhu will go to Wutoubao to discuss relevant matters with Chen Changqing face to face. Who do you think it will be when Princess Livhu goes to Wutoubao?
Where are you responsible for escorting?"
"That must be Yang Xuan." Zhao Ming slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table: "Brother, what do you mean, we killed him halfway?"
Zhao Mo nodded: "Although the Wala people were blocked by Chen Changqing on the front line of Wutoubao, there are still many enemy troops in the rear. On the way to escort Princess Lizhu, the supervisor encountered the Wala enemy troops. Unfortunately, he
How do you feel about dying for your country?"
"Okay, great, I finally waited for this opportunity." Zhao Ming slapped the table, but then he asked instead: "What about Princess Lizhu?"
"It is easy to kill Yang Xuan, but it is difficult to conquer the princess." Zhao Mo chuckled: "But if we can take the opportunity to save the beauty, a hero will come, and everything will fall into place."
Zhao Ming was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Brother, this is a brilliant plan."
Zhao Mo showed a proud smile: "However, this matter needs careful planning. Not only must we kill Yang Xuan, but we must also not make Princess Lizhu suspicious."
When Zhao Ming heard this, he immediately frowned: "Brother, I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle. Princess Lizhu has three hundred guards herself, and Yang Xuan also has one hundred guards, so there are more than four hundred people.
Besides, there are ten guards with high martial arts skills around Yang Xuan. If there are too few, it will be impossible. If there are too many, it will be easy to expose the secret."
"Nothing is easy to get in this world." Zhao Mo took a deep breath and said, "I have informed my uncle about this matter. What my uncle means is that we can mobilize family dead men and pretend to be prairie people, as long as we don't leave any
Corpse, this is a matter of death without evidence."
"But Princess Lizhu is a grassland person, how could she not recognize her? Besides, even if she is pretending, she must dress accordingly."
Zhao Mo smiled slightly: "I have prepared these things a long time ago, and the manpower is also arranged. I can start at any time. It's up to you."
Zhao Ming laughed: "Brother has arranged it so well, how can I be unreasonable?"
Next, the two brothers discussed the details, from the raid to killing Yang Xuan to kidnapping the princess. Finally, Zhao Ming arrived with his troops and rescued the princess, killing two birds with one stone.
If this plan is successful, Zhao Ming will marry the Pearl of the Grassland, and the Zhao family's power will greatly increase. With the power of the grassland, it will help the second prince ascend to the throne. Zhao Ming can also take over the position of patriarch, and the Zhao family will become the largest family in Dasheng.
Soon, the day of departure came, and Yang Xuan did not schedule the Zhao brothers. After all, in Yang Xuan's view, the suspicion of the two brothers had not been cleared.
He just made an excuse and took Lizhu out of the city.
Outside the city, Lizhu's guards, Tu Baihu and others were ready and headed directly to Wutoubao.
But because the two brothers had been keeping an eye on Yang Xuan and Lizhu, how could they let him sneak away? They naturally figured out their whereabouts by accident.
It would be better to sneak out of the city. When something happens, it would be easier for Zhao Mo, Zhao Ming and the others to shirk responsibility.
As early as when they were discussing this plan, even the location of the raid had been planned.
It would take one day to get from Ganzhou City to Wutoupu. The time and place of the raid was where they camped for the night.
As a military city, Ganzhou City really had nothing interesting to offer. In terms of entertainment, it couldn't even compare to the civil fortress. Besides being harassed by Zhao Ming all day long, Lizhu was tired of being there for a long time.
When leaving the city this time, Lizhu was like a bird out of its cage. She didn't even sit in the carriage and ran wildly on horseback. Yang Xuan could only complain while following closely behind.
Yang Xuan's riding skills were only average, nothing compared to Livhu's, and his buttocks were about to fall apart. Livhu finally had a good time, returned to the carriage, ate snacks, drank tea, and walked slowly.
Yang Xuan had sent people to survey this road a long time ago, and there were not many enemy spies in the rear. With their team of more than 400 people, even if there were enemies, they would not dare to take action.
Along the way, the scouts didn't detect anything. At night, they naturally set up camp.
At this moment, they had no idea that not far from their camp, a cavalry force of over a thousand people was already in full formation.
