Chapter 812: Reciprocity
A quarter of an hour later.
"Mr. Chu, what should we do now?"
The atmosphere in the shaking carriage was tense and depressing. Looking at Chu Xianping, whose face looked very bad, Lu Yuanjin hesitated for a long time and then asked with some trembling:
"You, you have always been with Wei Changtian, right? You must know his weaknesses!"
“.”
There is no doubt that Gongsun Yan's attitude just now and the words left by Wei Changtian made Lu Yuanjin extremely frightened at this moment.
Chu Xianping was much calmer in comparison. He just glanced at him and replied calmly, "Your Highness, as long as I am here, Wei Changtian can't kill you."
“But, but.”
"No buts."
Chu Xianping interrupted coldly: "Since I said I would protect you, I will definitely do it."
"Five days. Haha, I want to see how he kills you within five days."
With a sneer, it can be seen that Chu Xianping is still very confident in his abilities.
Since he said so, Lu Yuanjin could only keep his words to himself, his eyes full of worry.
But at least he felt a little more at ease than before.
After all, although Lu Yuanjin didn't know much about Chu Xianping's deeds, he knew enough and understood how terrifying the former's strategy was.
In addition, Chu Xianping brought two second-grade masters with him when he came to Yongding City this time, which was enough to show that he already had a very powerful force in his hands.
So, there shouldn't be any problem in saving my life.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuanjin was a prince after all, so after adjusting himself for a moment he finally became rational from his panic.
Now that his life is no longer in danger, he should think about how to bring down Gongsun Yan.
Actually, this matter is simple.
Gongsun Yan was so arrogant, and everyone knew that he completely relied on Wei Changtian.
Then as long as Wei Changtian is killed, the former will naturally not be a concern.
But the problem is that Wei Changtian is definitely not that easy to kill.
Back then, outside Fengyuan City, this "Wei Yanluo" broke into the camp of a million-strong army alone and defeated an entire army.
Lu Yuanjin knew that no matter how he planned, the situation he created would not lead to that crisis.
This means that it would be almost impossible to kill Wei Changtian relying solely on his strength, or even with the help of Chu Xianping.
In this case, we can only start with Gongsun Yan. "Master Chu, Gongsun Yan can't stay with Wei Changtian all the time."
After a pause, Lu Yuanjin said in a deep voice: "To capture a thief, we must first capture the leader. As long as Gongsun Yan dies, the many rebels under his command will scatter like birds and beasts. Then there will be no obstacles for me to inherit the throne."
"What's more, Gongsun Yan is just a merchant. Although he is rich, he doesn't have many experts at his disposal."
"As long as you are willing to lend me a few second-rank masters, I will be able to kill him within five days!"
“.”
Since I can't do anything to Wei Changtian, I'll use someone to kill Gongsun Yan.
Lu Yuanjin quickly expressed his thoughts and also gave a deadline of "five days".
This really wasn't him being angry or being confrontational.
But there really isn't much time left for him.
Lu Yuanjin was not stupid. He knew that since Wei Changtian supported Gongsun Yan's rebellion, he would definitely hand over the 300,000 surrendered soldiers far away in Xinfeng to the latter.
Dahui's national strength was not as strong as that of Daning and Dafeng in their heyday. After the failure of the Xinfeng Campaign, the number of available troops in the country had reached a pitiful level.
Therefore, if Gongsun Yan really takes control of those 300,000 people, everything will be irreversible.
To be fair, Lu Yuanjin's idea is not wrong.
But "Kill Gongsun Yan?"
Chu Xianping just smiled and said disdainfully: "Your Highness, do you think that Wei Changtian can't think of what you can think of?"
"He may have already set a trap, waiting for you to fall into it."
"What should we do then?!"
Lu Yuanjin's eyes widened, and his tone was a little impatient: "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Could it be that Gongsun Yan will commit suicide?!"
"Haha, I definitely won't commit suicide."
Chu Xianping looked at Lv Yuanjin, his tone still calm: "But we don't necessarily need to kill people."
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Yuanjin frowned and asked, "If we don't take action, who will? Are we counting on my third brother and those two useless people, the Xian Wang?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to Prince An's Mansion today?"
Without giving a direct answer, Chu Xianping said quietly: "No matter what, Gongsun Yan is a rebel king, and I believe there must be many patriotic people in Dahui."
“There are many things that you don’t have to do yourself.”
"Will this work?"
Lu Yuanjin quickly understood Chu Xianping's meaning, but had great doubts about its feasibility.
"With just those lowly people? Can they really kill Gongsun Yan?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
Chu Xianping smiled and replied: "You just need to call on all the heroes to come to Yongding City to eradicate the rebel king. I will take care of the rest."
"good"
Although he didn't know what Chu Xianping was going to do, Lu Yuanjin still nodded.
"Then I will write a bounty order after I return to the palace and send it to all the counties in Dahui today."
"Well, that's best."
After Chu Xianping responded, he stopped talking and lifted the car curtain to look outside.
At this time, the carriage was almost at the foot of Longshou Mountain. It was surrounded by imperial guards riding tall horses, and there was not a single civilian to be seen.
The golden sun was shining in the sky, creating a huge wave in the calm.
On the other side, Prince An’s Mansion.
Just when Chu Xianping was preparing to portray Gongsun Yan as the "public enemy" according to the original plan, Wei Changtian had already ended his conversation with Li Zimu.
Calling Gongsun Yan back into the house, Wei Changtian glanced at Li Zimu, who immediately said, "Your Majesty, there are three things you need to do now."
"First, send someone to the residences of the Third Prince and the Xian Prince immediately to order them to leave Yongding City before tomorrow morning. If they do not obey, they will bear the consequences themselves."
"Second, spread the word and tell all the big and small forces in Dahui that whoever dares to help Lu Yuanjin will be wiped out by Master Wei."
"Third, hang this item outside the palace."
As he spoke, Li Zimu pushed a large wooden box on the table forward.
Gongsun Yan immediately walked closer and gently opened the lid of the box. This wooden box was brought back by Wei Changtian from Prince Kang's Mansion. Gongsun Yan actually already knew what was inside.
However, Wei Changtian hadn't mentioned it before, so he didn't dare to ask.
Now looking at it, it is indeed Lu Xiangshan’s head.
"Yes, I understand."
Taking a deep breath and closing the lid of the box again, Gongsun Yan held the wooden box and prepared to go out.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly added another sentence behind him.
"Yes, my lord."
"Get ready. We are going to Longshou Mountain tomorrow."
"And go with honor."
"Go, go to Longshou Mountain?"
Turning around suddenly, a hint of astonishment flashed in Gongsun Yan's eyes.
But Wei Changtian just smiled and said calmly: "Yes, Longshou Mountain."
"It's a courtesy."
