"What's the matter?" Yang Juyuan couldn't help feeling furious. His dream since he was a child could be put into action, but he was disturbed at this juncture. If it wasn't for the death order before, don't bother him unless it is the most urgent thing. Guess his subordinates Indeed, there might be something urgent, he might just draw his knife and chop the person outside.
Sensing the anger in his voice, the man outside hurriedly said: "Xingzhou Zhongjun General Shen Xiaolong wants to see the master."
"Shen Xiaolong?" Yang Juyuan frowned. He was an official in Xingzhou. He naturally knew who Shen Xiaolong was. Speaking of which, he was a celebrity in Xingzhou. What is the nickname "Three Emotions Taoist", chanting a broken poem all day long, what is "Fate comes and goes, fate is like water, where love will return when love gathers and breaks up". His origins are somewhat mysterious, some say that he used to be a man who was frustrated in love; But as far as he knew, there shouldn't be such a person in the Shen family tree.
Sometimes Yang Juyuan even speculates maliciously, this guy talks about love every day, so he couldn't be a flower picker back then, right
However, this person can be regarded as an important person in Xingzhou's military, second only to Yang Zhenzhong. He also said before that he would come to him soon, but he didn't dare to neglect, so he ordered his subordinates outside: "Let him wait for me in the study." Hesitating. He picked up Ruan Xingzhu and ran to a secret room next door, then smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, after I get rid of the people outside, I will come back to accompany you."
Ruan Xingzhu was so angry that he trembled all over, but his acupoints were restrained, so there was nothing he could do.
After walking a few steps, Yang Juyuan seemed to think of something again. He came back and took out a handkerchief, wrapped it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth: "Hey, in case you scream."
"Woooo~" Ruan Xingzhu struggled, the anger in his eyes seemed to melt the opponent.
Yang Juyuan laughed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be back to serve you soon." Thinking of the warm and touching touch when he hugged her just now, he wished he could pick up his gun and get on the horse right away, but it's a pity that he understands the important things .
There seemed to be a fire rising in his lower abdomen, Yang Juyuan also walked faster and faster, and soon came to the study room, and found that besides Shen Xiaolong, there were some people, some of whom he knew and some of whom he didn't know, sitting there with solemn expressions , There was a solemn atmosphere in the room.
"Brother Yang!" Seeing him coming, Shen Xiaolong hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Brother Shen, this is..." Yang Juyuan looked suspicious.
Shen Xiaolong said quickly: "What I told you last time, I don't know how Brother Yang thinks about it, do you want to join?"
Yang Juyuan noticed that when he was speaking, the other people around him were staring at him unkindly, and surrounded him faintly, as if he would be mobbed and attacked if he said no.
Yang Juyuan said hastily: "It is imperative to kill the traitor, not to mention that this traitor also killed my elder brother. If you don't take this revenge and swear to be a man, of course I will be counted." Shen Xiaolong came to probe him before, you know Wu Xi's sudden treason caught the soldiers and civilians in Sichuan off guard. Some chose to obey, some chose to sit on the sidelines, but there were still some hot-blooded men who ignored the danger and chose to fight for the country.
However, after all, Wu Xi is in charge of Sichuan's military power and also controls the government of Sichuan. Those who are interested in serving the country can only act with extreme caution.
"If you can get Brother Yang's help, why not worry about the big things going wrong." Shen Xiaolong was overjoyed. The reason why he came to find Yang Juyuan was firstly because the Yang family played a very important role in Sichuan, and secondly because his elder brother had just died because of Wu Xi. of action.
Yang Juyuan smiled, and then asked: "Who are these brothers?"
Shen Xiaolong introduced: "This is Jinshi Yang Junyu, this is Li Kunchen, this is Li Biao, Brother Yang should have heard of it."
Yang Juyuan cupped his hands: "I've heard the name for a long time." He wasn't just saying compliments, these are considered celebrities in Sichuan, even if they haven't seen them, they've heard them.
Shen Xiaolong introduced another group of people: "This is Wu Xi's generals Zhang Lin and Zhu Bangning. Brother Yang should know him."
"How many times have you had a drink..." Yang Juyuan exchanged pleasantries again.
Shen Xiaolong continued to introduce: "This is Li Gui, a warrior in the army, and this is a righteous man from the rivers and lakes, Lai Fu, both of whom are highly skilled in martial arts."
"It's a pleasure to meet you! It is because of you loyal ministers and righteous men that the country can continue to prosper." Yang Juyuan was secretly startled, he also knew martial arts, and he could clearly sense that the martial arts of these two people stood out from the crowd, and of course they were the most unfathomable It was Shen Xiaolong who couldn't see the details of the other party.
A group of people were polite for a while, Shen Xiaolong said: "Brother Yang, we plan to do it tonight."
Yang Juyuan was drinking tea, and almost spit out in surprise: "In such a hurry?"
Shen Xiaolong nodded: "As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing, the longer it takes, the more likely it will be guarded against by Wu Xi, that dog thief, so he should be caught off guard."
Yang Juyuan looked embarrassed: "There are only a few people like this, aren't we going to die?"
Shen Xiaolong replied: "We still have dozens of righteous men outside waiting for the signal, ready to go at any time."
Yang Juyuan still shook his head: "The number of people is still too small, Wu Xi's bedroom is heavily guarded, and he himself is a top expert, so the possibility of our success is zero." At the beginning, the story of the contest to win the commander-in-chief had spread all over the world, and everyone knew about Wu Xi Excellent swordsmanship.
"What if we can convince Gusu Murong Fu to join?" Jinshi Yang Junyu said.
"Murong Fu?" Yang Juyuan was startled, "Didn't he accept Wu Xi's false official?"
Yang Junyu shook his head and said: "He may also be forced by the situation. After all, the Murong family has been loyal for generations since the Henan County King Yanzhao, and Murong Fu is well-known. There is no reason to do this."
Li Zhenkun who was beside him also echoed, "Besides, when Murong Fu lost to Wu Xi by one move, I don't believe he is willing to be Wu Xi's dog."
Shen Xiaolong said at this time: "Brother Yang, after all, we are too small in official position to be able to convince the public. After killing Wu Xi, we need someone with prestige to take care of us. After much deliberation, the most suitable candidate is Murong Fu. Moreover, he only lost one move in the martial arts competition with Wu Xi, and he is more likely to help Wu Xi, who is very strong in martial arts."
General Zhang Lin said: "Now Murong Fu holds an important position in Wu Xi's puppet regime and controls a considerable part of the power. As long as we incite him to rebel, we will be sure of it."
Shen Xiaolong continued: "I have heard that Brother Juyuan and Young Master Murong have a good relationship, so it is better for Brother Juyuan to come forward and persuade."
"This..." Yang Juyuan hesitated, he wasn't worried about anything else, but he was planning to go back to kiss his sister-in-law Fangze after dealing with the visitors, but if he left with them, it would be over in a while.
"Don't hesitate, once you miss today's opportunity, you will never find such a good opportunity next time." Shen Xiaolong subconsciously glanced at Zhang Lin and Zhu Bangning at the side. These two are not only Wu Xi's generals, but also today Wan is in charge of guarding him in the second half of the night. This rotation may take ten days and a half a month until the next time, and something may happen in such a long time, and the identities of Zhang Lin and Zhu Bangning are also very easy to be exposed.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Yang Juyuan got up and led a group of people towards Murong Fu's mansion. The mansion of the other party is in the same direction as Wu Xi's current residence, so it may delay time.
A group of people quickly came to Murong Fu's mansion, and because of Yang Juyuan, they met him smoothly.
Shen Xiaolong cut straight to the point: "Young master, will you be the prime minister's long history of rebels?"
Facing the same situation as Yang Juyuan just now, Murong Fu felt that the group of people on the other side was ready to attack, as if as long as he nodded, he would be struck by a thunderbolt. Although he prides himself on his martial arts skills, but the opponent has a lot of people, and the leader Shen Xiaolong, Li Gui, the warrior in the army, and the righteous man in the rivers and lakes, Laifu, are all masters, so it might be impossible to kill him in this small area.
Murong Fu reacted quickly, and immediately began to cry: "My Murong family has been loyal for generations, how can I be a traitor!" The Murong family has always hidden their thoughts about Guangfu Dayan very well. The Murong family in most people's minds are the descendants of the Henan county king who fought the world with Emperor Taizu back then, so no one doubts what he said.
He continued to cry sadly: "It's a pity that I don't have generals in my hands, so I can't rise up. I must have a hero to destroy this thief." His words were really heartfelt, everyone was shocked and panicked by Wu Xi's rebellion this time But he was the happiest. He realized that this was a great opportunity, and he had never felt so close to recovering the Great Yan. If he did it properly, he might be able to get the rich and easy-to-defend Shu land. When the time is right, raising the banner of the Great Swallow can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of generations.
Jinshi Yang Junyu on the side smiled and took out a roll of imperial silk: "Your Majesty Murong accepts the order, the emperor appoints you as a conciliatory envoy to control Sichuan's troops and horses, and kill the traitor Wu Xi!"
"The minister leads the decree!" Murong Fu couldn't help but be overjoyed, the appeasement envoy is an official position temporarily set up by the imperial court during the war, in charge of the military administration of a region, although it will be abolished after the war, this official position is very powerful, it can be said to be the head of the military and government of a region.
Yang Juyuan on the side frowned secretly. He had already taken refuge in Jia Sidao, so he knew that the imperial court had not issued such a decree, so this imperial decree...
As a wealthy family in central Shu, the Yang family had seen the real imperial decree. They soon noticed that the "imperial decree" in Yang Junyu's hands was a bit crude, and immediately reacted: This imperial decree is a forgery!
However, he immediately noticed the meaningful expressions of the other people around him. Obviously, they also knew about it, and most of them participated in it together. Now the situation is critical, and as long as Wu Xi can be eradicated, not only will he not be punished for forging the imperial decree afterwards, but he will be rewarded;
"This Murong Fu is really treacherous and cunning." Yang Juyuan sneered secretly, even he could tell that the imperial decree was fake, not to mention how many copies of the imperial decree had been kept by the descendants of the majestic Henan county king.
Although he was full of slander, he didn't say anything after all, knowing that the first task now was to eradicate Wu Xi, after a group of people discussed for a while, they rushed directly to where Wu Xi was.
Let’s say that after Song Qingshu Ren Yingying and Ruan Xingzhu separated, he quietly followed Yilin and Tian Boguang. Tian Boguang has rich experience in the world, and soon discovered that someone was following him. He was about to fight, but Song Qingshu revealed his true identity. Tian Boguang suddenly saw a ghost The same, where is the courage to draw a knife.

Note: In history, Yang Juyuan was a loyal man, here is discredited because of the need of the plot, I hope readers can distinguish the truth from it. In addition, all the characters mentioned in this chapter are the loyal ministers and righteous men who united against Wu Xi in history after Wu Xi’s treason—of course, except for the Sanqing Taoist Shen Xiaolong. The state army is taking Li Haoyi's role.
