Chapter 4225 4227 [The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind]
"Yes, of course. Cao Gou is arrogant and domineering, killing loyal officials and harming the people. He is suspected of plotting to usurp the throne. I have long wanted to get rid of this traitor." Duan Tianya said with a bow.
"Father is right. Cao Zhengchun should have been eradicated long ago. Haitang absolutely supports father." Haitang also said excitedly.
"Father, if you have a mission, I will never disobey it." Xiang Nan also nodded and said.
However, he knew that Shen Hou's move was not for the Ming Dynasty, but just to vent his anger. After Cao Zhengchun was eradicated, it would be the turn of them, the secret agents of the palace.
"What are you plotting behind my back?" At this moment, someone laughed, which scared everyone.
When they looked back, it was Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo.
It turned out that the two had gone to Jiaozhi to hold a wedding before, and after returning to the East, they traveled around and just returned to Hulong Villa.
Shen Hou was stunned at first, then waved his hand to Princess Yunluo and said, "This is our Hulong Villa's business. Cheng Shifei stays, Princess, please leave."
"Uncle, can't you even listen to me?" Princess Yunluo heard this and immediately looked at Shen Hou pleadingly.
"No, this is a secret, and outsiders can't know it." Shen Hou's face sank, and he firmly refused, "Leave quickly."
The princess saw that Shen Hou was so stubborn and unreasonable, so she had to retreat.
"Cheng Shifei, you have to swear that you are not allowed to tell anyone else what I am going to say later." After Yunluo left, Shen Hou looked at Cheng Shifei and said.
"You don't have to swear so seriously, right?" Cheng Shifei said with a smile.
"Cheng Shifei, this is a very serious matter, don't smile anymore." Duan Tianya saw him like this and said very dissatisfiedly.
"Just swear, this is not a joke." Haitang reminded Cheng Shifei.
Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei are not familiar with each other, and their contact time is not long. But Haitang and Cheng Shifei have been in contact for a long time, especially in Anle Town, and they have a life-and-death friendship.
So Haitang regards Cheng Shifei as a friend and does not want him to conflict with Duan Tianya.
"Okay, I swear that I will never tell the words of the Godly Marquis to another person." Seeing that everyone was so serious, Cheng Shifei had to put away his playful smile, raised his hand and swore.
Seeing this, the Godly Marquis nodded with satisfaction, and then told him about what he was going to do to Cao Zhengchun.
Hearing him say this, Cheng Shifei was immediately very excited, "Okay, support, I have wanted to beat this dead eunuch for a long time."
Cao Zhengchun and he have a lot of grudges. Back in Anle Town, he was almost killed by Cao Zhengchun's people.
Later, he pretended to be the prince of Jiaozhi and got engaged to Yunluo, and Cao Zhengchun also messed around.
Not to mention that Yunluo has always been dissatisfied with Cao Zhengchun, and as a husband, he naturally would not have a good impression of Cao Zhengchun. So he was the first to respond to the fight against Cao Zhengchun.
"Very good." Shen Hou nodded and said with relief, "I will make arrangements immediately. We must get rid of Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch, and eliminate the harm for the Ming Dynasty."
"Father, when will we act?" Duan Tianya asked.
"Tomorrow at the hour of Yin." Shen Hou said immediately.
At the hour of Mao, Cao Zhengchun was going to report to the palace, and he was going to lead the four secret agents to assassinate him on the street.
Everyone nodded immediately.
...
That night, everyone went to bed early.
At the hour of Yin tomorrow morning, Shen Hou led the four secret agents of Tiandi Xuanhuang to set off.
"You are the most elite force of my Hulong Villa. Today's action is to get rid of the eunuch Cao Zhengchun, be loyal to the country, and eliminate harm for the people. Only victory is allowed, not defeat!" Shen Hou said to everyone before setting off.
"Yes!" Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei, Xiang Nan, and Haitang, the four secret agents, responded in unison.
"Let's go!" Shen Hou ordered immediately.
The large army set out immediately.
Xiang Nan took the opportunity to hand Haitang a talisman, "Take it with you, it can save your life at a critical moment."
Haitang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard it, "You still believe this?"
She didn't believe in ghosts and gods. If there really were ghosts and gods, why didn't the gods destroy them when Haijiabao was slaughtered, and why didn't her parents and relatives turn into ghosts to claim her life? !
"Take it with you, I asked for it with great difficulty, I hope you can be safe." Xiang Nan explained.
Haitang was stunned, then nodded and hung the talisman around her neck.
Xiang Nan nodded when he saw this.
He made this talisman specifically for Haitang. Once in danger, the talisman will automatically start and can withstand at least three attacks.
The power of each attack is about equivalent to being hit by a car driving at 100 yards. It can be said that as long as it is not hit head-on by Cao Zhengchun's Wanchuan Guihai, it should not be a big problem.
Xiang Nan was also worried about the battle tomorrow morning. If Haitang got into trouble and he was unable to come back to help, it would be troublesome.
…
The group then ambushed on Zhengyang Avenue in the center of the capital.
It was the darkness before dawn, and there was silence all around.
Xiang Nan, Shen Hou, Haitang, Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei and others were all ambushed on the roof, waiting for Cao Zhengchun's sedan chair to come.
Time passed by minute by minute, but no one spoke at the scene, and no one even dared to breathe deeply.
Finally, at the third quarter of the morning, a group of people slowly appeared.
From a distance, you can see the big word "Cao" written on the lantern.
"Godfather, it's here." Duan Tianya said immediately.
Shen Hou nodded, "Everyone get ready."
Soon the team came close. There were about 40 or 50 people in the team. People in front, behind, left and right were riding tall horses. There was only a sedan chair carried by eight people in the middle.
The people on the horses were all wearing bright helmets and holding sharp blades. They looked very difficult to deal with.
"I will attack Cao Zhengchun in the sedan chair. Tianya, you are responsible for dealing with the ten people in front, Yidao, you are responsible for dealing with the ten people in the back, Haitang, you are responsible for dealing with the ten people on the left, and Cheng Shifei, you are responsible for dealing with the ten people on the right. Remember, only success is allowed, not failure." Shen Hou ordered.
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
Then, Shen Hou suddenly jumped up and slapped the sedan chair in the middle.
Xiang Nan, Haitang, Duan Tianya, and Cheng Shifei also jumped down and fought fiercely with Cao Zhengchun's guards.
With a click, the sedan chair was smashed into pieces by Shen Hou.
But Shen Hou was not happy but surprised. It turned out that there was no one in the sedan chair. It was completely empty.
At this time, Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya, Haitang, and Cheng Shifei had already killed the more than ten guards like cutting melons and vegetables.
With their martial arts, they are all top masters, so it is easy to kill second-rate guards.
But everyone also found that Cao Zhengchun was not in the sedan chair at this time, and they all realized that something was wrong.
At this time, a large group of people suddenly surged out from both sides of the long street of Zhengyang Avenue like a tide. Each of them was wearing black armor and bows and arrows. They were the most powerful black-clothed archery team of the East Factory.
And among them was Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory.
"Hahahaha, Zhu Tiedan, you underestimate this governor too much. Do you think I won't get wind of your attempt to assassinate me?" Cao Zhengchun laughed proudly, "I set up this game specifically to lure the snake out of its hole."
