Yan Wushuang Extra Story (23)

Yan Wushuang was very annoyed that the assassination failed even when Han Yuxi was unprepared.

Meng Nian explained: "My lord, it's not that our people are incompetent, but that the Han family is very lucky."

"Failure is incompetence." He only looks at the result, regardless of the process. The abilities of the people who are not enough to be sent this time are really average, if they are sent to top killers, they will definitely succeed.

Meng Nian didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Wushuang asked, "Did you sweep the tail clean?"

Meng Nian hurriedly nodded and said: "All arrangements have been made. They won't suspect me, they will only think that it was the Song family who did it." It happened that both Yunqing and Han Yuxi had feuds with the Song family, so they would definitely believe this conclusion.

In fact, Yuxi didn't believe it was the Song family who did it at all. The Song family should kill Yunqing if they want to kill her, why kill her? After killing her, Yun Qing can marry again.

When Meng Nian heard that Yan Wushuang wanted to send an assassin, he persuaded him, "My lord, our people can't get in touch with Han Yuxi." The last assassination had already alarmed the snake, and after that, Han Yuxi didn't go out easily, and even if he went out, he was surrounded by guards like clouds.

There is no way to get close, and assassination is out of the question.

Speaking of which, Meng Nian admired Han Yuxi, and Yunfu was managed by her like an iron bucket. The mouths of the servants in the mansion are like mussels, very strict.

Yan Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Through Han Jianye, I have the opportunity to get in touch with Han Yuxi."

Hearing about the beauty trick, Meng Nian said: "My lord, Han Yuxi is pregnant now, wouldn't it be better to use the beauty trick on Yunqing!" If Yunqing favors other women and couples to renounce, then they don't have to worry about it.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian, and said, "Yunqing is not a lustful person, otherwise he would not have had a single woman around him for so many years. Besides, he is rigid, loyal and not stupid." Yunqing's current situation is very serious. Dangerous, if you are not careful, you may be killed by the Song family. At this time, how could he find a concubine to make Han Yuxi separate from him. What's more, with Huo Changqing around, he wouldn't watch him do stupid things.

Meng Nian quickly turned the topic to Han Jianye: "My lord, even if Han Jianye has been tricked, our people may not be able to see Han Yuxi."

Yan Wushuang didn't dare to be 100% sure about this kind of thing: "It depends on our luck."

At this time, Zhao Huan, Yan Wushuang's confidant, reported back outside: "My lord, there is a letter from the capital." After Yan Wushuang had capital, he sent people to Beijing. At the beginning, it was to inquire about the news, and then slowly infiltrated the influence into the palace and the Song family.

The letter said that the Seventh Young Master of the Song family took a fancy to the youngest daughter of Master Du, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and wanted to accept her as the ninth concubine. The girl didn't want to, so he wanted to take her home, but was beaten up by the girl's elder brother Du Xian. In fact, Du Xian didn't attack hard at that time, at most let Song Qi lie down for three to five days. Unexpectedly, Song Qi died that night when he got home.

The Song family said that they wanted Du Xian to kill him, but the Du family was naturally unwilling, saying that Song Qi was not killed by their son. If you don't believe me, please do an autopsy. It's a pity that the Song family refused to let it go, but insisted on Du Xian's death.

The two families had a quarrel, and finally the Song family sued the government. The governor of the capital did not dare to judge the matter arbitrarily, so he could only submit the case to Datian and let the prince make a decision.

The emperor has long ignored the government, and now the prince Zhou Xuan supervises the country. Normally, he should let Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry or other honest and honest officials handle the case. If it turns out that Du Xian really killed Song Qi, then a verdict will be made. But Zhou Xuan didn't let anyone hear the case, and directly sentenced Du Xian to death.

Du Shilang was a loyal royalist, but he fell ill immediately after this blow. After Du Xian was beheaded, he followed suit. The Du family returned to their hometown with the bones of the two of them.

Putting down the letter, Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "Zhou Xuan's unrestricted favoritism to the Song family is a good thing for us. Then when it is revealed that he and the Song family brothers colluded with the Donghu people to cause the tragedy in Liaodong, everyone will no longer doubt it. "The Song family brothers are holding such a big handle, Zhou Xuan naturally wants to favor them.

In recent years, the Song family brothers have eliminated dissidents and wooed officials, and with the expansion of the Song family's power, the Song family members have bullied men and women in the capital and robbed them. However, no one dared to control it. But the more the Song family was like this, the happier Yan Wushuang was, and he even hoped that the more arrogant the Song family, the better. Because of this, it will only hasten their death.

Meng Nian didn't comment on this, but just sighed: "It is the common people who will suffer in the end." Meng Nian is an ordinary squire's family, so he has a special understanding of the lives of the low-level people. In times of calamity, many people would starve to death without the assistance of the imperial court, let alone in this troubled world. In Liaodong alone, a large number of people starve to death every year.

Yan Wushuang said: "In troubled times, people are like grass." The current situation in the world is not caused by him. And he has no intention of being the savior.

"I hope the lord can end this troubled world soon." Working with Yan Wushuang, I always feel that my brain is not enough. So he firmly believed that after they revolted, Yan Wushuang would be the only one in this world.

Yan Wushuang said calmly: "I just want to take revenge." He has no interest in being emperor, but if he wants to take revenge, he can only overthrow the Zhou family.

Meng Nian said: "My lord, your vengeance will be avenged soon." The emperor is fatuous and treacherous ministers are in power. Today's Zhou dynasty is already in jeopardy. As long as my lord raises his arms and enters the capital with a wave of his arms, he will be able to take revenge.

A few months later, news came from the northwest that the people they sent had failed in the assassination. In fact, it can't be regarded as a failure, after all, Han Yuxi almost died prematurely.

Meng Nian said with some regret: "It's only a little bit close." It would be great if she died directly from dystocia.

Yan Wushuang looked to the northwest and said, "Have you ever heard a saying that those who survive a catastrophe must have a future blessing?"

Money can turn ghosts around, and he has been cultivating his power since he got the protection of the Yan family's diehard loyalists. The killer organization and the hidden guards are two of the forces he formed.

Meng Nian smiled and said, "It's just a folk proverb, so it can't be taken as true."

"Han Yuxi is not a person waiting to be killed. This time she almost killed two people. She will definitely take action when she recovers." Just like him, she is not someone who is willing to sit still and be beaten passively.

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "Master, do you think Han Yuxi will suspect us?"

"So what about suspicion?" He was afraid of Han Yuxi's suspicion before, because he was afraid that it would be difficult to make a move after being exposed, not because he was afraid of Yuxi's revenge.

After finishing speaking, Yan Wushuang said: "Even if she doubts, she can't take revenge now. The most important thing is to develop her own power."

It's just that Yan Wushuang didn't expect that his assassination would actually stimulate Yun Qing and make him rebel.

When Meng Nian got the news, he didn't believe it at first. There is a saying that the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. As for the diehard Yunqing, he would be the first to rebel. This, this is unbelievable.

Seeing that Yan Wushuang did not speak, Meng Nian called out cautiously: "My lord..."

Yan Wushuang came back to his senses and smiled, "It's pretty good."

The imperial court has long lost control of the local government, and the local officials who hold real power in the frontier always obey the imperial court's orders. But even so, no one dared to rebel. Yunqing broke this delicate balance, and the world will soon be full of clouds and smoke.

Seeing this, Meng Nian asked, "My lord, should we push him from behind?"

"Throughout history, the first to raise troops always dies the fastest. Therefore, there is no need to do anything more." The reason for saying this is because the imperial court will gather the power of the whole country to destroy it even if it wants to kill chickens to scare the monkeys. And even though Yunqing has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, there is a strong enemy, the northern captives, and the imperial court is encircling and suppressing him. At most half a year, this family will die in Huangquan.

Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang said: "It seems that I overestimated Han Yuxi." No matter how resentful he is, he should bear it at this time. If it was him, he would have to wait until he had accumulated enough strength to raise troops.

Meng Nian also agreed with this statement: "Women and Taoists are short-sighted, and they don't think long enough." Yunqing, on the other hand, listened to Han Yuxi's suggestion.

That is to say, but Yan Wushuang and Meng Nian still pay attention to the northwest all the time.

Yun Qing killed corrupt officials and confiscated the money of officials and wealthy households, but did not harass ordinary people at all. And Yunqing didn't run away after grabbing the money, but found a reputable official or squire to take care of one side's affairs temporarily, and each city would leave a confidant and some soldiers to maintain local law and order.

Seeing these news, Yan Wushuang held the letter for a long time in silence. Judging from what Yunqing did, it was deliberate for a long time, and it was not an impulse to attack.

Meng Nian also thought of these things, and said, "My lord, this Han family has long been rebellious." Yun Qing has as many strong generals as Yun, but there are no powerful advisers. So what Yunqing did could only be Han Yuxi's plan.

In this regard, Yan Wushuang was not surprised at all. He had known for a long time that Yuxi was not the kind of person who was waiting to die. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to flourish in the Duke's Mansion without being loved by her grandmother and biological father. If it wasn't for the demon concubine's obstruction, she would have married into a noble family long ago and lived a pampered life.

Meng Nian said: "My lord, since I have made preparations, I should be able to last a little longer."

Yan Wushuang looked up at the blue sky above his head, and said calmly: "With Han Yuxi's resourcefulness, how can we think of her but not her." So it is too early to draw a conclusion.

No one expected that Yunqing would occupy the northwest in just a few months. And after occupying Pickaxe City, Yunqing stopped fighting.

Meng Nian said suspiciously: "Taiyuan has always been a battleground for military strategists, why didn't Yunqing take the opportunity to occupy Taiyuan?" He didn't understand the war. But few people don't know the importance of Taiyuan.

Yan Wushuang said with a very complicated expression: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi probably want to occupy the Northwest first, and after they gain a firm foothold and become the king of the Northwest, they will plan other things."

I remember that on the way to escape, Uncle Xu said that he once suggested to his father to control Liaodong in his hands. In this way, you will not be afraid of persecution by the faint king and treacherous officials. Unfortunately, not only did his father not agree, but he even reprimanded Xu Bo.

Meng Nian was startled: "My lord, Yun Qing, no, the Han family wants to take over the whole world." If so, then this woman's ambition is too great.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "That depends on whether they can pass the two hurdles in front of us." The first hurdle is the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court, and the second hurdle is the invasion of the northern captives after the beginning of spring. As long as one of these two tests is not passed, Yun Qing and Han's family of four will die without a place to bury them.

Meng Nian asked: "My lord, do you think they can pass these two tests?" Once Yunqing and Yuxi control the entire northwest, they will definitely come to seek revenge.

Yan Wushuang pointed to the blue sky above his head, and said, "It depends on what it wants." There was an encirclement by soldiers and horses from the imperial court, and then there was an invasion by the northern captives, so logically speaking, it is impossible for him to succeed. But what everyone in this world thinks is impossible to succeed, some people have succeeded. So whether Yunqing can become the king of the Northwest depends on God's will.

After a while, Yan Wushuang was talking with Meng Nian when he heard Zhao Heng report outside, "My lord, there is a letter from Tongcheng."

Yan Wushuang read the letter and said: "Dashan was injured and unconscious, I have to go to Tongcheng." Qiu Dashan was one of the few people he could trust wholeheartedly. Now hearing that he was injured and unconscious, how could Yan Wushuang not be anxious.

Meng Nian said: "Master, I will go with you!" Tongcheng is Tong Chunlin's territory. He was worried about letting Yan Wushuang go to Tongcheng alone. Now, my lord, I can't tolerate any mistakes.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "You have to stay here, and if there is anything, you can deal with it in time." Tang Bo is getting old, and he doesn't want him to work anymore. Therefore, these trivial matters can only be left to Meng Nian.

After finishing speaking, Yan Wushuang said again: "You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine." He didn't kill him back then, but now it's wishful thinking to kill him.

No matter how worried he was, Meng Nian did not dare to refute Yan Wushuang's decision.

On the same day, Yan Wushuang set off for Tongcheng.

It was also on the night of this day that Meng Nian got the news that the imperial court was going to send 50,000 elite soldiers from Tongcheng to encircle and suppress Yunqing.

Meng Nian couldn't help scolding her mother now. Although Tongcheng has 200,000 soldiers and horses, many people die every year in the war, so there are only 130,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers. Deploying 50,000 elite soldiers to counter the rebellion, once the northern captives know that their army is overwhelming, they will not be able to stop them. The tragedy of fifteen years ago will be repeated in Liaodong.

After calming down, Meng Nian hurriedly wrote a letter to Yan Wushuang. Liaodong is their base camp, so nothing can happen.

Five days later, Meng Nian received a reply from Yan Wushuang. When I opened the letter, I saw the word "no problem" written on it.

Although I knew that Yan Wushuang didn't like too much writing, a letter with only two words left Meng Nian speechless.

Within two days, Meng Nian heard that Tong Chunlin was unwilling to dispatch 50,000 elite soldiers to quell the rebellion. No one in their right mind would agree.

Meng Nian sighed, and said to himself, "It's a pity that you are the lord's enemy." Otherwise, he really wanted to win this person over, but he could only think about it. Tong Chunlin killed the Zhang family, and the hatred of killing his mother is irreconcilable, Yan Wushuang will definitely avenge his mother.
