"This..." Peng Yulan really didn't know whether to agree or not.
It's not that she can't bear to harm Shang Chaozong's life. When things have reached this point, it's easy to lose sight of family ties due to the struggle between powers, not to mention the interests of her whole family. She can't say she cares about Shang Chaozong. The key is that she doesn't know. How to face father and daughter afterwards.
However, Feng Lingbo had already made a hole in the dam of her heart, and her uncontrollable thoughts began to flow like venom. Coupled with Feng Lingbo's determination and persuasion, some things were unavoidable...
With the rumble of hoofbeats, a dozen riders led by Peng Youzai galloped from the official road and returned to Nanzhou from Jinzhou.
Most of the dozen or so riders ran directly past the post station next to the official road. A few riders who were chasing after them because their horses were exhausted turned directly into the inn, changed their mounts and rushed out of the inn, continuing to pursue the former.
This is how horses are replaced along the way.
A golden wing fell from the sky. The disciple who read the secret message on horseback sped up and caught up with Peng Youzai who was leading the pack. He loudly reported: "There is news from Feng Lingbo. It has been confirmed that three groups of people are heading towards Changping City. go."
Everyone accompanying him heard the sound and looked at Peng Youzai.
Peng Zai showed a chill on his face and said in a deep voice: "It's not the third faction's turn to jump out in Nanzhou yet. Send a message to Elder Chen that the three factions are not allowed to enter the city. If the other party breaks in forcefully, kill them!"
"Yes!" The disciple accepted the order.
…
On the cliff, under the old tree, Niu Youdao sat alone, making tea on the charcoal stove.
Gongsun Bu and Guan Fangyi came hand in hand, and Guan Fangyi sat directly opposite Niu Youdao, "Wu Laoer has led people to Changping City, but the monks can't enter the city at all. There are Tianyu Gates at several city gates. The disciples participated in the inspection and cast spells to check everyone entering and leaving the city. Monks with magical powers could not sneak in. There were also disciples of Tianyu Sect on the city wall to observe. It was impossible to climb over without being discovered, let alone see the Shang Dynasty Sect. , it’s impossible to even get close.”
Niu Youdao reached for the boiling teapot and poured himself tea and water calmly.
Gongsun Bu continued: "Yuan Gang led people into the city, but they were also unable to see the prince. The place where the prince was placed under house arrest was guarded by soldiers and horses on the outside, and there were monks on guard inside, so he could not get close. Yuan Gang followed the city It’s also troublesome to contact Wu Laoer outside. He has to go in and out of the city. Changping City is being closely monitored, so it’s inconvenient to use Golden Wings.”
Niu Youdao poured a cup of tea for each of the three people and asked, "Can you send a message to the prince?"
Gongsun Bu: "It can't be passed on. Mr. Yuan asked people to contact the servants within the Feng family and made some lies. The monks in the place where the prince was under house arrest were under strict supervision. Even the meals sent in had to be strictly inspected by the monks. There was no There are ways to do tricks.”
Hearing this, Niu Youdao breathed a sigh of relief. When things came to this point, he was worried that Feng Lingbo would jump over the wall. Listening to this, Tianyumen seemed to be wary of Feng Lingbo. It would be nice to have Tianyumen to protect him. , there should be no problem.
"Tell Yuan Gang that if Feng Lingbo really wants to touch the prince, Tianyumen will not stand by Feng Lingbo and let him adapt to the situation to ensure the prince's safety." Niu Youdao brought the tea and placed it in front of Gongsun Bu, and then I added, "Everyone's own safety comes first. Let him be careful. If something cannot be done, don't force it."
"Okay!" Gongsun Bu agreed.
Guan Fangyi asked: "You have been bored for so long, when are you going to come out?"
"I'm not bored at all." Niu Youdao joked a little playfully. When the other party rolled his eyes, he smiled and said, "I can't show up yet, wait a minute."
…
Putting down the urgent report in his hand, Feng Lingbo lay back and leaned on the back of his chair. Another news came that the three factions were getting closer and closer to Changping City.
This made him feel very anxious. Once the three factions met with the Shang Chaozong, under the protection of a group of monks, he would have no chance to attack the Shang Chaozong.
In fact, it is difficult to find an opportunity now to transfer all the monks who protect the Shang Chaozong away. Bai Yao is guarding the Shang Chaozong's house every step of the way. Even if Peng Yulan wanted to make a surprise attack on Shang Chaozong, as long as someone from outside the courtyard passed by, Bai Yao would immediately show up and follow Shang Chaozong.
Peng Yulan didn't have a chance to make a move. She couldn't even find a way to use poison.
The more this happened, the more anxious Feng Lingbo felt.
Peng Yulan hurried into the room, and Feng Lingbo quickly stood up and walked over to greet him, asking: "Is there any way to transfer the Tianyumen disciples over there?"
Peng Yulan shook her head in embarrassment: "At most, we can only transfer some of them. It is basically impossible to let them all leave and only let Shang Chaozong stay there."
Feng Lingbo looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is it God who wants to destroy me?"
Peng Yulan comforted: "Don't be anxious, we still have at least one day. I just heard the news from Tianyu Sect. My father has sent an order to the Tianyu Sect disciples here to stop the three sects outside the city and not allow them to do so." When they enter the city, if the three factions dare to force their way in, Tianyumen will kill them! Therefore, before my father comes back, it is impossible for the three factions to enter the city to meet with the Shang Chaozong. We still have one day to think of a solution."
"That's what it says..." Feng Lingbo had just sighed, but suddenly he was startled, his eyes lit up, and he asked urgently: "Is this true? Did my father really order the disciples of Tianyu Sect to intercept three groups of people entering the city?"
Peng Yulan: "Of course it's true, can I still lie to you?"
"Okay!" Feng Lingbo fisted his fist and wandered back and forth excitedly, "God will not destroy me. When the three groups of people arrive, it may be a good opportunity for us to succeed!"
Peng Yulan was stunned: "What do you mean? To intercept the three factions, the guarding disciples from the Shang Chaozong should not be used."
Feng Lingbo immediately stopped in front of her and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Peng Yulan expressed doubts: "Is this okay?"
Feng Lingbo's face showed a ferocious look, "We have to try no matter whether it works or not! Yulan, this is our only chance. Once we miss this opportunity, once our father comes back, once the Shang Dynasty Sect is put on the throne, we will have to rely on our previous For what the Shang Chaozong has done, even if you and my family can stay safe, your children and grandchildren will probably be able to huddle at the foot of Tianyumen Mountain and farm the land for the rest of their lives. If the Shang Chaozong does not fall, your children and grandchildren will never be able to get ahead. day! "
Peng Yulan's breathing was a little heavy. Not to mention anything else, thinking about the future of her descendants was enough to make her make up her mind. She nodded vigorously, "Okay! That's it, you can prepare secretly here!"
Feng Lingbo: "Don't worry, as long as you can successfully transfer the Tianyumen disciples away, a large number of my troops can directly attack and fire volleys of bows and crossbows. The few people inside cannot stop them. In a moment, We can chop the Shang Chaozong and others into mincemeat before the disciples of Tianyu Sect hear the news and come to help! By the time the people of Tianyu Sect arrive, it will be a done deal!"
"Okay, I'll get ready right now." Peng Yulan dropped her words and left quickly.
Feng Lingbo then summoned four of his confidant generals, the eldest son Feng Ruoyi, the second son Feng Ruojie, Tao Yan, and Nong Changguang.
This kind of thing cannot be entrusted to anyone who is not reliable, and his two sons are naturally indispensable. As for Tao Yan and Nong Changguang, they were both Feng Lingbo's confidants when he was in charge of Quang Ngai County. After Feng Lingbo lost power, they were inevitably affected. After Shang Chaozong took over the two counties, it was impossible to hand over important positions to Feng Ling. Bo's confidants, the two had been somewhat aggrieved for some years.
This time Feng Lingbo came back and recalled the two of them immediately.
Both his sons, Tao and Nong, were all great generals under Feng Lingbo. The four of them contributed a lot to Guangxi County's ability to remain stable in Nanzhou.
Since it was a secret conspiracy, and the actual operation relied on these people, Feng Lingbo did not hide some things from them. He revealed all the crises he was about to face, and after revealing his intention to kill the Shang Chaozong, he asked: "Everyone What do you think?"
Feng Ruoyi and Feng Ruojie looked at each other and wanted to kill their own brother-in-law? The two hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to talk.
Tao Yan and Nong Changguang also looked at each other speechless. They had suffered so many grievances over the years, and now they finally came back. They didn't want to suffer from the cowardice anymore. How could they give up the fruits of victory they had already obtained, and they had to maintain it even if they fought hard. , people who come out of the battlefield are not afraid of fighting, but after all, this is Lord Killer's son-in-law. It is not easy for the two of them to agree to it as soon as they open their mouth, otherwise it will be too much.
Both of them also observed the attitudes of Feng Ruoyi and Feng Ruojie. If everyone agreed, the two of them would naturally agree. If others did not agree, the two of them would remain silent and let Feng Lingbo make the decision.
Feng Lingbo stared coldly at his two sons and forced him to express his stance, "What I fight for for my father is also what I fight for for you!"
Feng Ruoyi sighed: "What should I do with my sister? Are you going to make me a widow? I know my sister's temper. If we really want to kill like this, my sister will definitely try our best to stop her. If she blocks in front, we will still fight. No fight? Is it possible that we have to step on Ruonan’s body and kill him?”
Feng Lingbo waved her hand, "You don't have to worry about this. She is my daughter and my heart and soul. I will naturally transfer Ruonan away before taking action. She will not be put in danger and I will definitely keep her safe."
Feng Ruojie asked again: "Father, can the Tianyu Sect agree? If the Tianyu Sect doesn't agree, it will be difficult for us to take action with those mages protecting us!"
Feng Lingbo: "Do you still need to teach me? Don't worry, your mother over at Tianyumen will find a way to transfer people away. If we can't do this, we won't do anything."
Feng Ruoyi smiled bitterly: "Father, if Ruonan didn't want to marry back then, her family forced her to marry. Now that she's married, we have to kill her husband. Even if we succeed, how should we face our sister afterwards?"
Feng Lingbo's heart sank a little at these words. In good conscience, if she really did such a thing, she would really be sorry for her daughter.
Tao Yan looked on for a while and said decisively: "Did Shang Chaozong ever be so kind and soft-hearted when he took over the power of his father-in-law? Your Excellency was also deceived by him before marrying off the daughter of your dreams. It's okay if this princess doesn't do it. Don't worry, eldest son. Afterwards, I will definitely find a good family for the young lady, and I will never let the young lady become a widow. This matter is all my responsibility. If it really doesn’t work, as long as the master does not despise the subordinate’s age and the subordinate is willing to divorce his wife and marry the young lady, he will never let the young lady suffer half of it. Wronged!".
