Geng Liangcheng was deeply afraid of Xiao Huayong pretending to be Xiao Juesong. The matter was definitely not as simple as his confidant said. If he continued to associate with Xiao Juesong in the future, he might have to be oppressed by him all the time.
"General, no matter what, we have to get through this first. No matter how elusive Prince Jiachen is, he still needs you. We can make plans after you become the King of Northwest." The confidant advised, "Prince Jiachen is a man who cannot stand the light after all."
There is no harm in temporary forbearance. When the time is right, if they can kill Prince Jiachen, it may be a great achievement and they can get a lot of benefits from His Majesty.
Geng Liangcheng pondered for a moment and said, "He wants me to bring the prince to you within two days..."
Geng Liangcheng made a killing gesture.
"My subordinates have been keeping an eye on the post station these days. King Xun has already sent two urgent secret letters with a total length of 800 miles." However, the messenger was very vigilant along the way, and even if they caught up with him, there would be no chance for them to take action. They did not dare to act rashly at this juncture.
If the court courier was killed in the Northwest, Your Majesty could immediately send people to investigate openly. If the person was not the King of the Northwest, local officials would also have to intervene in the investigation. The messenger started from the Northwest, so they must investigate all the way to the Northwest. No way could stop him. At this time, we must not create unnecessary trouble.
He could only watch Xiao Changfeng's letter fly to Kyoto.
Geng Liangcheng closed his eyes: "It seems that he is right. We don't have much time."
Geng Liangcheng treated his wound and changed into a high-necked shirt that could cover the wound before going to the Northwest Palace. Sang Yin happened to be there, and he asked him about Shen Yueshan's situation indirectly.
Sang Yin is staying here today because there has been some improvement in Shen Yueshan's injury, and the change is for the better. The rest is left to Sui Axi to assist with acupuncture. It is extremely convenient for Sui Axi to follow Shen Xihe.
After feeling that Shen Yueshan had passed the critical moment, Sang Yin finally believed Xie Yunhuai and Xiao Huayong. He was a shrewd man after all, and he sighed with red eyes, "I don't know how long I can delay. The prince is almost exhausted. With my ability, I can only last five to seven days at most."
May 7th, this was definitely not the result Geng Liangcheng wanted. He did not get a satisfactory answer and became a little impatient when he returned home.
Killing Shen Yueshan in person was a move that could not be taken lightly. Once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. Moreover, if he wanted to kill Shen Yueshan, he had to use Sang Yin. Would he have to silence Sang Yin in the future? Otherwise, his true identity would be exposed to Sang Yin, which would be disadvantageous for him to succeed the throne of King of Northwest in the future.
After thinking for a long time, Geng Liangcheng suddenly came up with an idea.
Since he had long intended to rebel against Shen Yueshan, he naturally cultivated his own power and recruited people in secret. Although these people were not many, they were carefully trained by him and had extremely good skills.
In the afternoon, he sent someone to invite Sang Yin to Geng's house, set out dinner and good wine, and kept worrying about Shen Yueshan. He and Sang Yin drank one cup after another as if they wanted to get drunk to relieve their worries. Sang Yin also accompanied him to the end. In fact, he had taken a sobering medicine before coming. The two of them had a similar alcohol tolerance. When Geng Liangcheng was almost tipsy, Sang Yin fell down. He was drunk and couldn't get up.
