After receiving Xiao Chen's message, Si Kong Ming quickly and secretly contacted the seventh prince in the palace. The seventh prince was originally Chu Wuming's man, so he would naturally not refuse Si Kong Ming's request.
With the help of the seventh prince, that night, Sikong Ming bribed the mother of the fifth prince, a personal maid beside Concubine Qu. This girl's name was Chunhua, and she was deeply loved and trusted by Concubine Qu.
After being bribed by Sikong Ming, Chunhua followed Xiao Chen's plan and advised Concubine Qu, saying that Xiao Chen was now in the mountain city of Hulao Pass, and the deputy general of the Zhenshan Army, Zhao Tuo, had some relationship with her. If Concubine Qu could do something,
If he had money and was willing to personally prepare a letter and give it to him, he would definitely assassinate Xiao Chen. Moreover, Xiao Chen was now on the territory of the Zhenshan Army, and General Zhao Tuo had a high chance of success.
After hearing Chunhua's words, Concubine Qu was really moved. Her son was killed, and Concubine Qu's status in the palace plummeted instantly.
After all, in an emperor's family, the mother is the son. Now that Qu Guifei's son is gone, Qu Guifei naturally has no value. In addition, Chu Mu has declared Xiao Chen innocent, so
First of all, the murderous intention in Concubine Qu's heart never dissipated, and she even dreamed of killing Xiao Chen to avenge the fifth prince.
She had always wanted to kill Xiao Chen, but now she finally had this opportunity. Very smoothly, Concubine Qu agreed to Chunhua's proposal, and personally compiled a letter and had someone secretly take it to the mountain city of Hulaoguan Town and give it to Zhao Tuo
General.
Concubine Qu has been persuaded, and on the other side is General Zhao Tuo. This person can be regarded as an absolute core figure in the Zhenshan Army. However, Zhao Tuo is not able to reach the top of the Zhenshan Army by relying on his own strength.
But because of Zhao Feng.
The two are brothers, and their parents passed away early when Zhao Tuo was just born. In this way, Zhao Tuo can be said to be raised by Zhao Feng, so for Zhao Tuo, this younger brother, Zhao Feng can say that
He is an elder brother and a father, and because of this, Zhao Feng dotes on Zhao Tuo very much.
Under Zhao Feng's care along the way, Zhao Tuo became the real high-ranking officer of the Zhenshan Army, with a status second only to Zhao Feng. However, compared to Zhao Feng, Zhao Tuo was very greedy for money and extremely arrogant. It was precisely because of this.
, Xiao Chen chose him.
Judging from the current situation, Zhao Feng is an extremely stubborn person. Although he is not loyal to the royal family, it is obviously impossible to win over Zhao Feng directly. Therefore, the only way to get Zhao Feng to surrender is through
Zhao Tuo.
After waiting quietly at Hulao Pass for half a month, the eunuch sent by Concubine Qu finally met Zhao Tuo in secret.
Because this matter cannot be discovered, the eunuchs sent by Concubine Qu naturally cannot use the teleportation array, because every time the teleportation array is used, there are special officials responsible for recording it. In this way, the people sent by Concubine Qu can only go all the way.
Rushing from the imperial capital to Hulao Pass, half a month is not too slow, after all, the distance is long.
There were people from Tianchenju secretly monitoring the eunuch along the way, so Xiao Chen had already received the news when the eunuch sent by Concubine Qu had just entered Zhenshan City.
"It's finally here, it's good." After hearing the news, Xiao Chen smiled slightly. Now that the people have arrived, the plan can officially begin to be implemented.
There was no need to worry that Zhao Tuo would refuse, because this person was greedy for money, and Concubine Qu had spent a lot of money to kill Xiao Chen. Faced with such a generous reward, Zhao Tuo agreed without thinking.
After convincing Zhao Tuo, the eunuch left Zhenshan City directly.
Having already accepted the deposit from Concubine Qu, Zhao Tuo was playing with the space ring sent by Concubine Qu in his hand while thinking about how to attack Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was the person next to Chu Wuming. Zhao Tuo naturally knew that he could not do it openly and could only assassinate him. After some thinking, Zhao Tuo finally decided to do it tonight. Anyway, Xiao Chen was only in the Taoist Realm. If he wanted to kill him, Zhao Tuo
Extension seems to be a piece of cake.
He didn't know what Xiao Chen was doing in the imperial capital, so Zhao Tuo didn't take Xiao Chen seriously at all. With his decision, Zhao Tuo quickly summoned more than a dozen of his cronies, all of whom had the lowest cultivation level.
At the level of the Dao Realm, coupled with Zhao Tuo himself, with such strength to kill a young warrior in the Dao Realm, Zhao Tuo thought that he was foolproof.
Having made the decision, Zhao Tuo and his group secretly sneaked into the courtyard where Xiao Chen lived that night. There were no accidents along the way. Zhao Tuo and his group arrived outside Xiao Chen's room smoothly.
Things progressed more smoothly than expected. Of course, Zhao Tuo didn't know that this was actually deliberately arranged by Xiao Chen. Otherwise, with the strength of everyone in Tianchen, Zhao Tuo and others would not have come outside their room.
There are two reasons for not being able to enter the courtyard.
Deliberately letting Zhao Tuo and others come, looking at the closed door in front of him, Zhao Tuo nodded slightly to the person next to him, and then whispered, "Do it, remember, keep your hands and feet clean, don't leave any evidence."
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, the man nodded slightly, then moved and rushed into the room.
Xiao Chen's residence had been explored in advance. At this time, the room was still lit by soft candlelight, and the light illuminated the entire room extremely clearly.
Just when this person rushed into the room, he looked around and found that there was no one in the room at all. The person immediately felt something was wrong, turned around and shouted to Zhao Tuo, "General, there is no one in the room."
, something is wrong."
There was candlelight in the room, but there was no one there. After hearing what this person said, Zhao Tuo also frowned slightly and strode into the room. After confirming it in person, Zhao Tuo also felt bad and immediately said in a deep voice, "
Walk."
Things were a little weird, Zhao Tuo immediately chose to retreat, but just when Zhao Tuo was about to leave, several figures flew out of the hospital and the leader was none other than Xiao Chen, and in front of him was Xiao Chen.
Beside Xiao Chen, Zhang Qi, Gu Xiu and others were already ready.
The retreat was blocked, Zhao Tuo's expression darkened, and at the same time, Xiao Chen also said with a sneer.
"General Zhao, you came to visit late at night, and you were armed with a knife and a gun. What do you want to do? Do you want to assassinate Xiao?"
All of this was originally planned by Xiao Chen, so he naturally knew Zhao Tuo's purpose of coming here, but Zhao Tuo didn't know. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhao Tuo was stunned at first, but soon he had a look on his face.
Said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Xiao? How could this general come to assassinate you? I just suddenly remembered something tonight and came here to ask for advice. How did I know that Mr. Xiao is not here? We were planning to leave just now."
