Chapter 1463: Assassination
At the fork at the intersection, Jiang Shangyan looked at Yang Zhi at another intersection, "It's really okay for the governor Zeng? I know that Bian Wushuang has a mysterious team in his hands, so he will do assassination and assassination."
"Don't worry, there will be a powerful person going to him soon. If Bian Wushuang used his army to attack Jinghu County, then they had no way. It was just a small-scale assassination. Then these people were going to seek death. Otherwise, I could still engage in these activities with you here, and I would have been running to him to protect him long ago." Yang Zhi smiled.
"Who is it?"
"You know Yinggu and Huo Guang." Yang Zhi smiled.
"They are the two!" Jiang Shangyan exclaimed, "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to County Governor Zeng! He actually sent two masters."
"Not that, it just happened that these two were actually sent out by the Empress and summoned the former queen's old subordinates in Jiying Hall. When they happened to encounter this, they went to Jinghu County City." Yang Zhi smiled.
"With them two here, I'll be relieved." Yan Shangshang raised his horse whip, "Don't leave it like this, please make them ready. Tomorrow night, I will take a cavalry to secretly cross the river and clean up the people in Wohu Mountain."
"Just leave here." Yang Zhi nodded, and the two of them whipped their horses at the same time and ran towards two different roads.
In Jinghu County City, Xie Qiu finally breathed a long sigh after seeing Yinggu and Huo Guang enter the county magistrate's mansion. In the past few days, he was indeed very nervous and had almost never had a good sleep. After confirming that Bian Wushuang was indeed going to attack Zeng Lin, he was in a state of high tension. Zeng Lin's importance to the Ming Dynasty was irreplaceable. If Zeng Lin disappeared, it would not only be extremely unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty's smooth annexation of the six eastern counties, but also allow Bian Wushuang to successfully take over all the civil rights of the six eastern counties, which would allow Bian Wushuang to take a big step forward on the road of separatism.
As long as Zeng Lin is alive, Bian Wushuang will not be able to control the six eastern counties. You should know that in the six eastern counties, Zeng Mo's prestige is second only to Cheng Wuben.
Now that the two masters have entered the county magistrate's mansion, he can finally take off this burden.
"Xie Qiu, take away your men. They have more important things to do, so there is no need to waste them with me." Zeng Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, he said he was not nervous, but in fact he was also worried in secret. It is easy to avoid open guns, but it is difficult to prevent secret arrows. Only a thousand days of being a thief. So is there a reason to prevent thieves for thousands of days?
Now that the two masters come to their mansion, if they still let their opponents succeed, they will be a real ghost.
"Is that OK?" Xie Qiu looked at Yinggu and Huo Guang.
"Go and go!" Yinggu waved his hand, "We will stay here for a while. If Bian Wushuang's people dare to come, then they will be destroyed."
"There are two masters who are studying the scriptures. What else do you have to worry about? Yang Zhi is going to do big things in Xiangzhou. He is short of staff. You take your people there to help." Zeng Lin smiled and said, "Those people may have been spying on our county magistrate's office. When they see you left, they might think that the opportunity has come."
After a period of nervousness, the county magistrate suddenly relaxed again. Although Zeng Lin's army transferred to the city was still performing his duties diligently, for some people, the alertness of these army is inevitably full of loopholes.
Bian Wushuang wanted to kill Zeng Lin but was not suddenly aroused, but that he had seen this a long time ago. If he didn't kill Zeng Lin, he would not be able to get the real control of the six eastern counties. He had also tried to win over Zeng Lin, but after a little temptation, he immediately gave up. A smart person did not need to test it repeatedly on one thing, because it would only arouse others' alertness.
The chess pieces had been laid long ago, but if they wanted to penetrate Zeng Lin's county magistrate's palace, they all ended in failure. They could not bury chess pieces within the county magistrate's palace, so many secret methods were not used, so there was only the last way left, assassination.
Xie Qiu took the Eagle Falcon to evacuate the county magistrate's mansion, and replaced it with Zeng Lin's personal soldiers. Finally, these assassins who had been waiting for the opportunity saw hope.
At this time, Bian Wushuang's attack on Kunling County was already on the string, and the shooting was about to be launched. If Zeng Lin was not taken down, it means that Bian Wushuang would completely break up with Zeng Lin after this battle, and logistics supplies would become his fatal injury.
It was snowing again in Jinghu County. The snow seeds were swept by the wind. Suddenly, the ground was denser in the east and sometimes the west, hitting the roof tiles, making a crackling sound.
In the warm room, Zeng Lin and Huo Guang sat on the couch while playing chess.
Huo Guang twisted the black piece and landed on the chessboard with a bang, laughing and said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is set on fire. I think it will be good tonight."
"I don't have to worry about that much anyway." Zeng Lin smiled and left Baizi, "With you two by my side, I don't have to think about these useless things, you can think about other things. This year, the snow fell quite a lot in Kunling County. We are walking south of Jinghu, but the snow has not fallen heavily. I am very worried about the harvest next year. It will finally snow today. I feel a lot of softening in my heart. I really hope it will fall a little bigger. Master Huo, your black dragon will be killed by me soon. Huo grow a baby and make a dying struggle."
Huo Guang stared at the eyes for a while, shook his head and threw the chess piece into the chess box, "It's useless. I really have no talent to play chess like this. I learned it with Master Wen back then, but in the end I was disliked by Master Wen. Do you know what method I used to cultivate my heart and refine my energy later?"
"I haven't heard of this!"
"Cut meat!" Huo Guang laughed and said, "It's not about cutting meat with a kitchen knife, but about using a big knife, a big knife weighing dozens of pounds, and a piece of white paper should be placed under it. Each piece of meat should be cut as thin as a cicada's wings. There should be no trace of knife marks on the white paper. At the beginning, it made me extremely embarrassed."
"Is there no kung fu good?"
"That's not, I can't calm down." Huo Guang said. "At that time, I cut meat, butcher barbecue, and Wen Shuai was responsible for eating it."
"I know this. Didn't Master Wen stop the Empress Dowager's countless men outside Zhao Prison? At that time, you were just cutting meat and barbecue." Zeng Lin laughed. "A good story, a legend."
"At that time, I really didn't expect that the guy who was in prison could reach this point." Huo Guang smiled and shook his head: "The Empress, oh, it was when Princess Zhaohua came out with her arms around him, and I shed two tears without any effort!"
"Although I was far away in Jinghu at that time, I was quite moved!" Zeng Lin shook her head and said. "The world is vast, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."
Huo Guang nodded with a smile, grabbed the chess piece on the chessboard, and was about to put it in the chess box, but his hand stopped on the chess box and turned to look at Zeng Lin, "It's really here."
Zeng Lin raised her eyebrows, "You are really rushing to die? Master Huo, should I avoid it? It's so convenient for you to do it?"
"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Yinggu has gone. The county magistrate. Let's go another plate. This time, you let me six sons."
"How can I get it so much?"
"Even if I let Liuzi, I'm still a bad chess!" Huo Guang laughed.
Bian Wenying is the least famous of the Bian family. In the eyes of other Bian people, this person is an idle person who does nothing. He seems to have never done anything for the family's career, and he has never been to the battlefield to fight.
In everyone's eyes, he is just an optional guy who does odd jobs in the commander's tent, does some clerical work, speaks little, and rarely speaks even at family gatherings.
Among the Bian family, he is a person who is easily overlooked.
Of course, in Jinghu County, he is also an overlooked person.
But the person in charge of this assassination was Bian Wenying, who was ignored by everyone. He was originally the leader of the Bian family, and he did things that Bian could not do publicly.
At this moment, he was wrapped in a white tights, almost blending with the color on the roof. Wherever he was lying, he was like a frozen poisonous snake, motionless, and even his breathing was controlled to a very weak point.
For a master at level 9, this is not a difficult task for him.
When Xie Qiu was in the mansion with the Eagle Falcon, Bian Wenying didn't feel that she had any chance. Xie Qiu was almost inseparable from Zeng Lin. Although he was not his opponent on one side, Bian Wenying knew very well that it would take a lot of effort to deal with him. However, assassinating Zeng Lin would probably only have one chance to hit.
Now that Xie Qiu was leaving with the Eagle Falcon, he didn't feel that he would succeed easily. He lay on the roof, watched his subordinates quietly touch the inner courtyard, watched the patrol soldiers fall down silently, and saw his subordinates approaching the room where Zeng Lin was, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.
The arrival of the Eagle Falcon made him realize that Zeng Lin had noticed something. The Eagle Falcon's departure was more like luring the enemy into depth, but now he could no longer hesitate. Not killing Zeng Lin would have a huge obstacle to the general's next plan.
He did not expect his subordinates to succeed. His ultimate killer move was only himself. Now he just wanted to see what Zeng Lin sold in the gourd.
A slight flash of tears in front of me, and a person suddenly appeared in the yard. Bian Wenying suddenly felt that her throat seemed to be strangled by something, and sweat from her forehead instantly penetrated.
That man is a woman, that man is a master.
It's Ying Gu.
Bian Wenying took a deep breath. He knew that the subordinate who had touched the yard was finished. He twisted on the roof like a snake, leaving no trace of him on the thin layer of snow powder.
Before Yinggu kills those subordinates, he must launch the final blow to Zeng Lin.
Even if he couldn't leave in the end, he had to kill Zeng Lin.
Chapter completed!
