Chapter 797: Borrowing a knife to kill, eliminating future troubles

"I want to kill this bastard named Xu!"

Jiang Yubai let out an angry roar in the tent, followed by the dull thud of his hands slamming on the small table.

Jiang Yubai was so angry that he almost smashed the table, which shocked the scholars and others beside him so much that their hair stood on end. They lowered their heads and eyes and dared not make a sound.

Jiang Yubai took pictures for a long time but still felt unsatisfied. He turned around a few times like a trapped beast. Looking at the things that could be smashed, he remembered his military pay and had to suppress his anger and stop. However, when he opened his mouth, it seemed as if it was spewing fire.

"Kill him!"

"Kill that bastard Xu Yu right now! Cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"

"Kill him and I'll make his son a first-class duke and his daughter a princess!"

"The title can be inherited from generation to generation, but Xu Yu must die!"

Jiang Yubai was so angry that his wits exploded and an endless sea of ​​fire spread out in his mind. The only person who was tied up high in the sea of ​​fire and burned by the flames was the culprit Xu Yu.

Jiang Yubai really doesn't want Xu Yu to continue living.

This bastard is always looking for trouble!

The people present were all Jiang Yubai's confidants, and they all knew why Jiang Yubai was so angry.

And they could all understand Jiang Yubai's mood at the moment.

When the monk thought of the letter Xu Yu had sent him at the same time, he felt that his head, which had been bald for many years due to worry, was about to grow hair again.

The monk complained, "Young Prince, please don't be so upset. The General of the Cavalry has sent us all messages."

Jiang Yubai turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

The monk looked sincere and took out the handwritten letter from Xu Yu with both hands and handed it to him.

The scholar and others hurriedly did the same thing, and several letters were placed in front of Jiang Yubai at the same time.

The letter was written by Xu Yu himself, with sincere words and deep feelings.

The main point that can be summarized from the words is this: I beg you all to kill those useless things in the Sang family as soon as possible.

When Lingnan wins the battle and moves its capital to Kyoto, no one wants to see even a single ant alive from that damn father-in-law's family.

It is said that killing a few people is not difficult, and destroying an entire family is even easier.

But just because Xu Yu doesn't want to take action doesn't mean others want to do the same.

The monk said in embarrassment: "I was wondering before, this is Sang Dong's mother's home."

"After we capture Kyoto, as long as they understand what's good for them and ask for mercy from the young prince, we can lock these people up and stop them from causing trouble. It wouldn't be in vain that we ate so many good things without paying, but who would have thought that the cavalry general would ask for the extermination of the entire family right from the start..."

The scholar also sighed: "It's not difficult to kill him."

"It's said that the Sang family and my mother's family haven't had any contact for many years, and there's not much blood relationship between them, but..."

"But we just accepted a huge favor from someone, and now we're going to kill his biological father and wipe out his relatives. This is really shameless."

People who achieve great things don't care about small details.

The key is that the favor they owe is really huge.

Even though Xu Yu had parted ways with them long ago, Sang Zhixia had always sent people to deliver things to the army.

When troops were sent from Lingnan to attack here, the amount of silver and supplies that Sang Zhixia spent on himself to supplement the army was astonishing. In comparison, their lives were much better during the march and battle.

They have enough to eat and warm clothes, and have good medicine when they are sick or injured. They have never worried about food and fodder.

After eating and drinking enough, I gathered up a lot of strength, sharpened my knife, and went to chop off someone's father's head. This matter...

The monk was filled with sorrow: "I actually kind of want to fight Xu Yu to the death."

Xu Yu wanted to keep his hands clean and not cause trouble for his wife, and they also wanted to be good people!

This dilemma was thrown to them. They couldn't kill him, nor could they keep him alive.

How should we plan this?

Several people who received the letter looked at the sad monk, felt the same way and sighed slowly.

Jiang Yubai's face was as dark as ink. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Who wouldn't be embarrassed?"

"News came from Lingnan. My sister-in-law has distributed improved rice seeds. Not only can we harvest two crops a year, but this season's yield is much higher than the previous season's."

"And about Nan Yun's matter, if my sister-in-law hadn't decisively blocked the river with merchant ships and opened the granaries to release the grain, who knows how many more innocent souls would have been drowned in the water."

"He's done so much for me, both financially and physically, and his achievements are far superior to mine. Yet, he doesn't seek fame or reputation, and hasn't even taken a penny from me!"

"Not only do I not even think about rewarding you, but now you're asking me to kill everyone in my family!"

"Is what Xu Yu doing humane?"

"Can't he just do something a human being should do?!"

As if afraid that they might not do a good job, Xu Yu also made a considerate suggestion, saying that they could use some tactics to sow discord. At worst, he could mislead Emperor Yongshun into thinking that the Sang family had ulterior motives, and use Emperor Yongshun to eliminate this hidden danger.

Anyway, Xu Yu was very generous when it came to giving advice.

When it came time to actually take action, Xu Yu instantly turned into a coward.

Everyone felt that they had been pushed to the brink of the abyss of injustice and would be forced to bear the reputation of being ungrateful in the near future. The tent was filled with gloom and sighs of regret were heard continuously.

The monk said uncertainly, "Young Prince, do we have to kill this person from the Sang family?"

"Although Xu Yu's father-in-law has been reinstated by Emperor Yongshun, he has long lost his sharpness and is lame, unable to ride a horse or wield a sword. He only holds a sinecure without real power."

"The Sang family does have a favorite concubine in the palace, but other than that, they have no promising sons and daughters, and they can't find anyone useful in the court."

"This isn't a threat in any way. Can't we persuade him to show some mercy? At worst, we can just keep him like a toy and give him food. Let him die of old age, so we don't have to make things so difficult for ourselves?"

Jiang Yubai looked at the monk expressionlessly.

The scholar helplessly interrupted, "Have you forgotten the head you sent?"

They wanted to spare Sang Zhixia's life for her sake, but they couldn't stop him from trying to kill himself.

All the people who tried to persuade him to surrender were sent to Xu Yu, but who knew when he would jump in front of Sang Zhixia?

Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia would not be persuaded to rebel against Lingnan, but it was really annoying to have this toad always jumping in front of them and spitting at them at every turn.

Xu Yu still had many concerns and was not in a position to take action directly.

The monk suddenly exclaimed, "I understand."

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife to eliminate future troubles."

In order to prevent these people from causing trouble to Sang Zhixia in the future, Xu Yu wanted to make them the bad guys.

Sadness crept onto everyone's faces again. Jiang Yubai covered his forehead with his hands in pain and said, "In another half a month, we will be inside the Kyoto area."

"During this period, we will strictly control anyone leaving Kyoto and any information flowing in and out, especially those heading towards Lingnan. We'd rather kill them by mistake than miss them!"

No one is allowed to make noise in front of Sang Zhixia!

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

The scholar hesitated and said, "My young prince, what do you think about the Sang family in Kyoto..."

"Yes, but not for us."

Jiang Yubai closed his eyes and said, "Although Xu Yu is usually not a good person, he is right about one thing."

"Killing someone with a borrowed knife is a good trick. Aren't there ready-made knives in Kyoto?"

Xu Yu thought everything through clearly, but the hateful thing was that he wished he had no involvement at all, so he was the only one who could do this.

However, Jiang Yubai still needs to think about how to do it specifically.

Jiang Yubai was silent for a while before he sneered, "Just wait for me, you bastard!"
