Bingbing's calm voice sounded beside him.
"Are you going to assassinate Hou Zongmin?"
Following the sound, Zhao Muyun saw Bingbing's determined eyes.
"Well, I've thought about it carefully and I'm sure about it." Bingbing nodded.
"Zhuzi led ten people to assassinate him but failed. Although a woman like you wouldn't arouse Hou Zongmin's suspicion, he was born a bandit and is a shrewd person. It would be difficult to attack him."
Zhao Muyun thought about it and shook his head, "I don't want to lose a Yebushou Siwei."
At this moment, Bai Ruolan knew from Bingbing's repeated calls of "humble officer" to Zhao Muyun's mention of "Yebushou Siwei" that the seemingly weak woman in front of her was actually one of the four Siweis of Yebushou, the intelligence agency that Zhao Muyun had Wang Tiezhu establish not long ago.
Bai Ruolan felt relieved all of a sudden.
Zhao Muyun and Bingbing must have something important to discuss just now, so they asked her to leave.
During the meal, Zhao Muyun took the initiative to leave to avoid suspicion.
It turned out that I was overthinking it. Zhao Muyun was such a career-oriented man that he simply disdained these affairs between men and women.
On the contrary, she should trust her husband.
Bai Ruolan figured this out and looked at Zhao Muyun with a guilty look on her face.
Just then, Zhao Muyun glanced at her. Facing Bai Ruolan's affectionate eyes, Zhao Muyun seemed to understand something and nodded.
Bai Ruolan then pretended to be surprised and said:
"Oh, Lord Zhao, there's a shipment of grain arriving at the Colonel's Mansion's warehouse today. I need to go take a look myself."
"You guys continue to discuss, I won't interrupt you."
After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye without waiting for Zhao Muyun's response.
Only Zhao Muyun and Bingbing were left in the conference room.
"Sir, please give me a chance!" Bingbing pleaded.
"Why do you insist on taking this risk? What do you want to do?" Zhao Muyun was puzzled.
"I want to make a deal with you, sir." Bingbing raised her head and looked at Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun was stunned for a moment. "Haha! Interesting! You actually want to make a deal with me? Tell me, what's the deal?"
"If I complete the mission and kill Hou Zongmin successfully, can you help me rescue someone?" Bingbing's eyes moved, full of anticipation.
Zhao Muyun glanced at Bingbing and then said affirmatively: "Okay!"
Now it was Bingbing's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect Zhao Muyun to agree to her request without even asking who to rescue:
"Sir, didn't you tell me not to put myself in danger? And why did you agree to rescue me without even asking who I was going to rescue?"
Zhao Muyun smiled faintly. "Since you've proposed a deal with me, it seems I have to go! How can I refuse? As for who to rescue, I think you must have thought it through clearly. I have the ability to do so."
Bingbing sighed, "It seems like nothing can be hidden from you, sir! Do you agree to let me go?"
"Han Zhong and his men's military strategy was to close the door and beat the dog, and your assassination was the icing on the cake."
Zhao Muyun nodded and said, "When do you want to set off? What kind of support do you need from me?"
"We'll leave when you, sir, leave for Xiazhou to exchange Commander Wang for us," Bingbing said. "We don't need your help, sir. We just need you to fulfill your promise."
"Haha, it's a deal. Let's high-five!"
Zhao Muyun stretched out his right palm.
Bang!
Bingbing high-fived Zhao Muyun without hesitation.
It seems that Zhao Muyun has not forgotten her father Fan Nan who suffered in Lingnan.
If he had said it directly, Zhao Muyun might not have used all his existing strength to get Fan Nan back from Lingnan.
But Bingbing offered Hou Zongmin's head to Zhao Muyun for a deal. Zhao Muyun agreed without asking who he wanted to rescue, and they high-fived to swear an oath.
So, Zhao Muyun is not as heartless as Fan Tong said!
No matter what, everything will be fine if we get Hou Zongmin's head.
......
Zhao Muyun and his men in Shuozhou were busy preparing to exchange hostages with Hou Zongmin and planning to use military force against Xiazhou.
However, in the Zhou Mansion far away in Jinyang, there was grief and the whole family was in mourning.
Zhou Yuan, who had already become stiff and died with his eyes open, lay straight in the golden nanmu coffin in the middle of the Zhou family compound.
Monks chanted sutras to pray for the deceased, smoke filled the air and paper money flew in the sky.
Soon, after the coroner from Jinyang Prefecture examined his injuries, Zhou Yuan was buried.
Zhou Yuan lost his life at a young age and was buried in peace.
And what his father Zhou Dequan is going to do has just begun.
It turned out that Zhou Dequan, who had returned to Jinyang from the capital, saw that his son Zhou Yuan was not at home, so he asked the official Zhou Shou to look for him.
Zhou Shou immediately ran to Shuyuxuan, where Mr. Zhou often went, to call for help.
But when they arrived at Shuyuxuan, they saw a bloody scene.
Zhou Yuan fell in a pool of blood, Feng Tiangan was split in half, and his internal organs were scattered all over the floor.
Zhou Yuan's dozen or so guards were all covered with crossbows and looked like hedgehogs.
Zhou Shou's legs immediately went weak and he hurriedly told Zhou Dequan about the situation.
Zhou Dequan fainted on the spot.
Zhou Yuan was his only son and the only one to inherit the family line. It had been a single-line inheritance for three generations, and now that he was dead, the Zhou family was going to be extinct.
When Zhou Dequan woke up, he ran to Jinyang Prefecture with tears and snot, begging Hedong Dao Governor Xue Chengxie to help him capture the culprit.
Xue Chengxie usually received a lot of gifts from the Zhou family. When he heard that such a murder had occurred in the area, he immediately ordered the Jinyang Prefecture to investigate with all its strength.
The owner of Shuyuxuan, all the madams, servants, guards and girls were all taken under control.
After a period of severe torture, although the detailed identity of the person who attacked him was unknown, some clues about Bingbing and Wang Tiezhu were obtained.
