Chapter 3491 Delivery of Letters
Xiahou Jiu looked at him: "You, what do you mean?"
Ruan Wentong's eyes turned red as he stared at Xiahou Jiu and said, "General! This time, it can be considered an opportunity given by God!"
Seeing Ruan Wentong like this, Xiahou Jiu was no fool. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly seemed to understand something. But he still frowned and said in a deep voice, "Explain it clearly."
"The general is such a clear-sighted person, do you still need me to explain it clearly?"
Ruan Wentong's voice was trembling with excitement as he said, "Then, let me make it clear. General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your Majesty has been poisoned and his life or death is unknown. Chen Bi Ri is pressing hard. If the General continues to be controlled by others, he will only die. So now, there is only one way to survive. That is-"
Hearing his words, everyone around him subconsciously held their breath.
Ruan Wentong said word by word: "Replace him, and be above ten thousand people!"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Not only did everyone stop breathing, even their hearts stopped beating.
Everyone turned to look at Xiahou Jiu.
At this moment, Xiahou Jiu was stunned as if a thunderclap had exploded above his head. He looked at Ruan Wentong, stunned for a long time before saying, "You mean, you mean -"
"General, this is the opportunity God has given you!"
"this--"
Xiahou Jiu was suddenly confused.
Although he was domineering in Yue State and expanded his power by relying on his own merits over the years, and sometimes even looked down on the young monarch, the monarch was still the monarch after all, and Yue State had always been the world of the Li family. He never thought of replacing them.
Even just now when Chen Biri said he was "rebelling" at the door of Chen's house, he was frightened.
But he never expected that his confidant, Ruan Wendong, who had followed him the longest, would actually say such a thing.
Xiahou Jiu said in a deep voice: "Do you want this general to die?!"
Nguyen Van Dong's eyes were bloodshot, and he said anxiously, "General! General, you must not hesitate! I have just made it very clear. No matter who poisoned Your Majesty, he is no longer a threat at this point. Chen Bi Ri has the upper hand. If Your Majesty remains in his power, the General will always be under his control. If the General resists, he will be charged with treason."
“…”
"Since we've already committed treason, let's do it once and for all!"
Although he was frightened just now, Xiahou Jiu couldn't help but feel a little hot after hearing his words.
My palms are full of sweat.
Fan Chenggong, Pan Shixiong, and the others around them also came to their senses. They were already in a dilemma, but Ruan Wentong's words suddenly made them see the light. Since they were going to take action, they might as well do it thoroughly.
If they really succeed, they will no longer be subordinates of General Xiahou Jiu.
But he was Xiahou Jiu’s founding hero!
Thinking of this, the group of warriors became excited and encouraged. Fan Chenggong immediately said, "General, the military advisor's words make sense!"
Pan Shixiong also said: "General, do it!"
The more they said this, the more agitated Xiahou Jiu became.
However, there was also a faint sense of uneasiness stirring in my heart.
While he was hesitating for a moment, several generals had already knelt before him, bowing and saying, "General!"
Ruan Wendong also said: "General, the opportunity is rare and will never come again. If you miss this opportunity, Chen Bi Ri will completely overwhelm you. By then, not to mention us, you will have no place to stay in Yue State!"
Hearing him say this, the uneasiness in my heart was finally suppressed.
Xiahou Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
When they heard him say this, everyone was ecstatic. They all stood up, clenched their fists, and were eager to have a big fight.
At this time, Xiahou Jiu said to Ruan Wentong, "However, you just said that you wanted me to send someone to Yongzhou to inform the Emperor of Yan. What's the matter?"
Ruan Wentong said, "General, if we want to succeed, we need the Emperor of Yan to help us."
Xiahou Jiu frowned: "You mean——"
Ruan Wentong said, "General, you are accompanying His Majesty this time, so we have mobilized only a few troops. Moreover, most of them are His Majesty's imperial guards, so you may not be able to mobilize them all. And this Doubei Town, Chen Bi Ri has been operating here for several years, it is their territory. If you want to take action here, you are not sure."
“…”
"So, it's best to work together from inside and outside."
Xiahou Jiu nodded, but hesitated: "Will the Emperor of Yan agree?"
Ruan Wentong sneered, "For so many years, the Emperor of Yan has sent us cartloads of grain and jewels. What for? Wasn't it just our raw silk to use in trade with the Western Regions? This time, even his beloved daughter was kidnapped, and he can actually swallow this anger and even discuss next year's business with us. It seems he is also a profit-driven person."
“…”
"For a person like this, as long as we give him enough benefits, why wouldn't we agree?"
Xiahou Jiu said happily: "You are right."
He immediately ordered, "Military Advisor, write a letter to the Emperor of Yan immediately in my name, agreeing on a date to launch our army together. Fan Chenggong, wait until nightfall and immediately send your most trusted person to deliver this letter. Make sure you personally deliver it to the Emperor of Yan! Everyone else, gather your troops and wait around Doubei Town. No one—especially no one from the Chen family—is allowed to take a single step!"
Everyone was overjoyed: "Yes!"
Soon, it got dark.
A group of people on horseback quietly left Doubei Town and quickly crossed the border under the cover of night. The sound of horse hooves in the silent night was like a drum beating, which made the man's heart palpitate.
He was Fan Chenggong's confidant and was ordered to go to Yongzhou City to deliver a letter.
He secretly left Doubei Town and moved forward quickly in the night. At this moment, he was still some distance away from Yongzhou City, but for some reason, the closer he got to Yongzhou City, the more inexplicable uneasiness he felt in his heart.
At this moment, a leather rope flew out from nowhere and suddenly caught the hoof of the horse under him. The horse neighed and fell to the ground. The man fell with it. He rolled on the ground several feet away, his body covered with grass debris.
He whispered, "Who?!"
Just then, several people walked out of the bushes ahead.
In the faint moonlight, he saw the clothes of those people clearly at a glance, and was immediately overjoyed. He said, "Go and tell your people in the city quickly that I am a messenger from General Xiahou Jiu of the Yue Kingdom. I have important--"
