Fate ha...

Chapter 620: Lure the snake out of its hole

The news of the governor's mansion being sealed off reached the ears of Qiang chieftains such as Beigong Boyu.

Inside the Beigong Boyu residence, everyone sat uneasily in their respective seats, staring intently at Beigong Boyu on the homepage.

Bian Zhang stood up and asked, "What exactly happened? Why did Fu Xie suddenly turn against Liu Yan...?"

Bei Gong Boyu let out a soft breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm not entirely sure either..."

Despite saying that, Bei Gong Boyu had a vague sense of unease, and he felt that it was related to the things he had sent people to plant.

Just then, one of Bei Gong Boyu's men rushed in looking flustered.

"Chief! Your subordinates have learned that Fu Xie found weapons, armor, and fine iron in Liu Yan's residence and imprisoned him on charges of treason!"

"What.....?"

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Bei Gong Boyu and the others all changed their expressions.

Bian Zhang looked at Bei Gong Boyu with a stern face: "Didn't you personally arrange this? How come they found out so soon after it was put in?"

"It was indeed arranged by someone, but..."

Halfway through his sentence, Bei Gong Boyu's expression shifted, and he said in a deep voice, "There's a traitor among us! There must be a traitor among us..."

Bian Zhang was taken aback: "A mole...?"

"good!"

Bei Gong Boyu glared at everyone with a ferocious expression: "None of the men I sent last night have returned, and the governor's mansion was sealed off this morning. Someone must have leaked our plan, otherwise Fu Xie's actions would have been so precise..."

"this......!"

Upon hearing Bei Gong Boyu's words, the others couldn't help but exchange glances, their gazes now filled with a newfound wariness and defensiveness.

Li Wenhou, sitting to the left, said, "Then what should we do now? Once Fu Xie discovers the truth, we will all be doomed..."

Bei Gong Boyu narrowed his eyes: "The men I sent have all followed me for many years and are reliable. I don't think Fu Xie will be able to trace us away anytime soon..."

Bian Zhang said, "That's true, but we must be on guard. We need to make preparations as soon as possible, and we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom!"

"Wen Yun is right..."

Then Beigong Boyu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The situation is special now. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, you will all stay here for the time being. I will send someone to inform your families!"

"Well... okay!"

The group was slightly taken aback. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice but to agree to stay since things had come to this point.

After settling everyone in, Bei Gong Boyu and Bian Zhang went to the study.

After the two were seated, Beigong Boyu said in a solemn voice, "The situation is critical right now, and we may need to launch our uprising sooner rather than later..."

Bian Zhang nodded: "That's true, but this matter still needs careful planning. Perhaps we can turn this desperate situation into a safe one..."

Bei Gong Boyu's eyes lit up: "Oh? I wonder what brilliant plan Wen Yun has?"

Bian Zhang pondered for a moment: "The best course of action for us right now is to find a way to take control of Jincheng. In that case, all the noble families and merchants living in Jincheng will be in our hands, and Duan Jiong will have many concerns when he wants to attack the city."

Furthermore, Jincheng has ample supplies and excellent weaponry. We only need to hold our ground and await reinforcements. Once Ma Yi sends troops, we can launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside, and surely annihilate Duan Jiong in one fell swoop. In this way, we can establish our own territory in Liangzhou, eyeing the Three Auxiliary Regions, and our great cause will be accomplished!

Bei Gong Boyu's eyes lit up: "Excellent, Wen Yun's plan is indeed brilliant! How should we proceed?"

Bian Zhang thought for a moment: "Fu Xie is quite popular among the Qiang people. We must first control him before we can take any further action!"

"Let's do it this way!"

Subsequently, Bian Zhang and Bei Gong Boyu discussed the details in detail.

Soon, one of Bei Gong Boyu's trusted confidants, carrying a secret letter, secretly left Bei Gong Boyu's residence through a secret passage and then quickly headed west.

Not long after the man left, two detectives quietly followed him.

Meanwhile, Fu Xie, back at the prefectural governor's office, began writing memorials to the emperor and the court, clearly stating Liu Yan's various crimes.

Just as Fu Xie finished writing, a messenger from the prefectural governor's office hurriedly arrived before him with several secret letters.

"Prefect, look...!"

"Liu Kui of Bohai, Lu Qing of Fanyang, Chen Miao of Qingzhou..."

Upon seeing the signature on the envelope, Fu Xie's expression changed.

Fu Xie immediately took out the letter and began to examine it.

"Utterly shameless... These traitors and rebels deserve to be executed!"

Upon reading the letter, Fu Xie's expression changed drastically, and he immediately cursed through gritted teeth.

It turns out that the letter contained information about several people who conspired with Liu Yan to rebel in alliance with the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang people.

Fu Xie never imagined that Liu Yan and others not only intended to rebel, but they also wanted to contact outsiders to attack the Han Dynasty. What kind of shameless people would do such a thing?

This is blatant betrayal of our ancestors!

If they succeed, war will break out everywhere, and the world will inevitably descend into chaos.

Fu Xie felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of the foreign invaders trampling on the land of the Han Dynasty, leaving nearly ten million people displaced.

Fu Xie then hurriedly retrieved his two memorials and tucked them into his robes along with the secret letters.

"Quick, get the car ready!!"

"promise!!"

Seeing Fu Xie's anxious expression, the driver didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran outside, quickly preparing the carriage.

"Prefect, where are you going?"
