One hundred and ninetieth chapters, the eve of the storm (1)

Assassination of Cheng Mo? Assassination of Empire Yuan?

In the Linfeng Pavilion Inn in the west of the city, Lei Dongfeng paced back and forth. After hearing the news, the first feeling was that he could not believe it, and the second feeling was that he was so crazy.

Although Cheng Mo had no power, he was the highest brain in the name of the empire after all. If he was assassinated, it would be like the empire's final face to be gone. This is something that any senior officials of the empire who still have a little dignity or even the four people cannot allow. The way to welcome the assassination must be endless revenge.

Furthermore, Cheng Mo had no actual military power and his political power was not high. In addition to being able to arouse the empire's common hatred of the enemy, Lei Dongfeng could not think of any other benefits for the time being. Therefore, Lei Dongfeng could only understand that the person who made this order was too crazy.

"Who is Tanqing going to do it?" Lei Dongfeng asked.

In fact, if it were in the past, Lei Dongfeng would have thought that the organization was assassinating himself, but after arriving at the imperial capital, the organization's leader explained in detail the scope of the task undertaken by the organization, and there was no assassination item, unless it touched the interests of the organization, the organization had a group of teams called "Shengxue Tower" who were specifically responsible for this. However, he would never undertake assassination missions to the outside world.

Otherwise, without the action of the organization's opponent, the empire would never allow an organization that could threaten its life at all times. Moreover, the major forces in the empire said that if anyone dares to issue an assassination order within the organization, everyone will tell us that the forces that issued the order will be lifted up.

This cannot be said to be the extraordinary features of the organization leaders or leaders. Not only did they not decline due to the lack of assassination business, but they took advantage of the conflicts between major forces, making all forces acquiesce to their existence, develop and grow.

"I don't know the specific cloth man yet," said Roland.

"Sister Roland, where is the source of the information?" Li Ruoxi asked.

"It's a coincidence that although the 'Shengxue Tower', which is responsible for organizing law enforcement, does not undertake the assassination mission to the outside world, many of them are still in contact with other masters who serve as killers. This task is that someone wants to find someone to kill the yuan, but the intermediary found the person who organized the Shengxue Tower, and then the organization got the news." Roland said.

"That means that the person who set up the mission is not familiar with the organization, otherwise he would not have made such low-level mistakes." Lei Dongfeng said confidently.

"Well, think so." Li Ruoxi nodded, which was exactly what she wanted to know.

"Since I don't understand, on the basis of temporarily excluding fraud within the organization, it can be judged that this person is not an imperialist, or at least not a senior executive of the empire. Otherwise, according to Sister Roland's previous statement, these bigwigs are clear about these rules." Li Ruoxi analyzed, but always felt something was wrong in his heart.

"If this is a conspiracy, then who will it be targeted? Is it targeting Brother Lei? It is unlikely. Most of the big men in the imperial capital have clearly stated that they want to support him. Will anyone support him when they attack him at this time?" Li Ruoxi thought.

Li Ruoxi's personality in dealing with problems must consider all possibilities. Although it is not that the plan she proposed should take into account all interests, and it is even very radical and risky, and can sacrifice individuals for the overall situation without scrupulously, thinking about all possible problems and controlling the overall situation is what Li Ruoxi wants to do.

"Since this is the case, I can only make arrangements in secret first." Li Ruoxi looked at Lei Dongfeng and others, but she was scheming in her heart.

"Is it the Western Alliance?" Lei Dongfeng didn't think so much for the time being. He asked in secretly, shook his head again, feeling that it was unlikely.

With Jose's IQ, how can we do something that arouses the people of the empire to resist the intimate? It is possible that those religious believers are, but now there is an internal strife between the Western coalition, and the "Moon Knight" Ars and the "Thor" Lehger rebelled from the camp. How could they still have the energy to do such things?

Or are they afraid that Cheng Mo would promote some families who reduced the rights of aristocratic families? Cheng Mo would be able to keep a low profile. This plan should not be told to others casually, right? Judging from the appearance, only Zhuge Ting and himself should know it, at most there will be a British marquis.

Even if other aristocratic families know Cheng Mo’s true psychology, they will not be so stupid that they will kill them at this time?

Could it be that Cao Ganlong took action? Although Cao Ganlong looked down on Cheng Mo, wasn’t he who started to return military power to fight for himself?

Lei Dongfeng thought about it and racked his brains, but he didn't understand who would poison Cheng Mo at this time.

Lei Dongfeng obviously could not see Cheng Mo being assassinated. Even from the perspective of his interests in the Kuanglan Army, Cheng Mo was still on the side of the Kuanglan Army. Once he died, Lei Dongfeng would lose a help in vain.

However, Lei Dongfeng could not just run to Cheng Mo and say, "No, Yuan, someone is going to assassinate you."

Let’s not talk about whether the news is accurate or not, whether someone deliberately put out smoke bombs; even if the news is accurate, if Cheng Mo asks how it got it, Lei Dongfeng will not be able to answer, which is equivalent to exposing the relationship between the organization and himself.

Although the empire tycoons have heard of the organization and even many have found it, if someone really reaches an agreement with the organization, it will definitely be hit by a catastrophic blow.

The most important thing is that my behavior is equivalent to telling the assassinators that I already know the news, come and deal with me. Lei Dongfeng will never do such a thing.

Moreover, if Lei Dongfeng told Cheng Mo now that Cheng Mo strengthened his defense, he might not be able to keep Jingquan, but this threat would always exist. Lei Dongfeng could not protect Cheng Mo's safety in the imperial capital forever.

Therefore, Lei Dongfeng hopes to lead the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible to solve the problem in its infancy.

Suddenly, Lei Dongfeng flashed his spirit and remembered someone: "Is it him who is behind the scenes?"

"Roland, how is Chen Hanbing moving?" Lei Dongfeng suddenly asked.

"Since I went back from the banquet last night, I haven't been out of the aisle, I'm very honest." Roland said.

"No, since you have some ideas, it should start now." Lei Dongfeng said suspiciously.

"Brother, do you suspect that this matter is related to Chen Hanbing? It's easy to deal with. If he doesn't come out, then someone will naturally go in. These days, I have gone to the Taoist temple to preach. How many people have listened to the Tao?" Li Ruoxi suddenly asked.

"Mu Tong, I really remembered that as usual, the vassal missions who come to the imperial capital to visit will go to Baiyun Taoist Temple to listen to the Tao to demonstrate the imperial culture." Roland smiled.

"When?" Li Ruoxi asked.

"It's just this afternoon." Roland said.

"If we go, Chen Hanbing already knows me, so I'm afraid I'm alert." Jiang Zhuying frowned.

"If all the vassal missions go to visit, then the Annan mission will not be left behind. Roland, please find a way to contact Xue Yulin and ask him to respond. We can let Brother Dao be a choreographer for us. In short, after getting in, you can act according to the opportunity." Lei Dongfeng decided to leave.

"Has the news cloth been out?" a man in a mask asked his subordinates.

"He has gone out." The subordinate said respectfully.

"How did it turn out?" the man asked again.

"There is no feedback yet, the fish is very cunning and has not been moved." The subordinate hurriedly said.

"Wait, now we are comparing who is more patient." The man said lightly.

"Sir, wise!" The subordinate stepped back.

"If you are smart enough and don't meddle in other people's business, then we still have the possibility of cooperation, otherwise you will die without a burial place!" The man in the mask sneered.

On May 9, 999, the imperial capital was in power.

According to the empire's convention of receiving foreign guests, all foreign missions who come to the empire to visit must go to the Baiyun Taoist Temple in the imperial capital within ten days to listen to the Tao.

According to the words of the imperial officials, it is to use the imperial culture to infect and baptize these vassal messengers.

Especially Taoist culture, which emphasizes inaction and governance, is suitable for transmission to vassal states. Moreover, among vassal states of empire, Taoism is also quite powerful.

For example, in the vassal state of Goryeo, the national religion was called Goryeo Dao, which was actually the inheritance and evolution of imperial Taoism. Even the King of Goryeo was a believer in the imperial Taoism and entered the Taoist ritual in the imperial capital, Jiangshan Baiyun Temple.

Therefore, for thousands of years, it has become a customary convention for foreign missions to visit the imperial capital Taoist temples.

On the afternoon of that day, outside the Baiyun Taoist Temple, gorgeously decorated carriages and tall horses drove over.

Several envoys of the empire, led by the Eastern Japanese delegation of Uesugi, and accompanied by officials of the Imperial Concierge Division, entered the Baiyun Taoist Temple.

The Taoist Chen Hanbing of Baiyun Taoist Temple had long led a group of subordinates to greet him by the door, and the guests and the host and the guests walked towards the Sanqing Hall, the main hall of the Taoist temple.

Several major figures of the vassal missions first worshiped the ancient sages worshipped by Sanqing Temple, and then followed Chen Hanbing into the back hall to discuss the Tao and talk about the world.

"I was really disappointed when I came to the capital this time. I thought the empire had always been fair and established with sincerity, and could listen to our opinions. I could do it, but I didn't want to suddenly have many arrogant people, but I disdained to debate with such people, otherwise I would definitely distinguish them." Shigee Tanaka, the deputy leader of the Eastern Japanese delegation from the empire's vassal state, said to the full vassal envoys and the Baiyun Taoist temple. Uesugiya, the leader of the Eastern Japanese delegation, was pinching his beard and smiling without saying a word.

"Speaking of this, I have heard of the injustice that several of you have encountered. I think that Lei Dongfeng is just a rude person. When he was in Longcheng, he even opened his slaughter of his colleagues and was sent to death row prisoners. Now he is doing well. It is really unfair to heaven and villains are in power." Chen Yang, the Taoist priest of Baiyun Taoist Temple, said deeply to the same feeling.

These words immediately resonated with the envoys of the vassal state, and they accused their empire of being unfavorable. Lei Dongfeng and others' actions made the empire lose their face. The officials of the Empire Concierge Office on the side turned red and white, and they were so embarrassed.

But he couldn't say anything. After all, these people did not say anything against the empire, nor did they do anything that harmed the empire's interests or personal affairs, and the right to complain was not something he could deprive him of.

The officials who followed the mission were just exercising surveillance and had no practical rights. The purpose was actually because they were not easy to send many people to restrict the actions of these vassal mission members, and were worried that they would collude with each other, so they simply sent a special official to accompany them at all times.

This errand looks leisurely, but it is extremely boring and can easily offend people. Therefore, the official complained but could not help.

"These guys just like to show off their verbal pleasure." Your official thought to himself.
