Chapter 1444 I Am a Secret Envoy From Shuiyue Country
"It's easy?" Peng Chuan looked at Wu Fan with some doubts, not understanding why Wu Fan said so.
"Leave this to me, I will send you out of the city in the next two days." Wu Fan said.
If someone else said this, Peng Chuan would definitely suspect that the other party was bragging. After all, he knew the situation in the city very well, and it would be difficult to send them out of the city.
But this was said by Wu Fan, and Peng Chuan chose to believe it, because he had seen Wu Fan's series of unconventional behaviors before, and he trusted Wu Fan very much.
"That's great." Peng Chuan smiled and said, "We have been troubled by this matter these days. I didn't expect that you, Lord Wu, would help us solve this trouble as soon as you came back. By the way, Lord Wu, didn't you go to Shuiyue Country? How come you came back so soon?"
This is a place where Peng Chuan is more confused. Although their Black Water Country is adjacent to Shuiyue Country, it is not close from Linshui City to Shuiyue Country. Wu Fan actually ran back and forth so quickly, which surprised him a little.
Moreover, during this period, Wu Fan also helped him complete the task of delivering the letter, which also took time.
"To be honest, I went to Shuiyue Kingdom to assassinate their second prince Yelu Hongfei, and Yelu Hongfei is now in Yangyu Pass, so I came back." Wu Fan said with a smile.
What Wu Fan said was indeed true, but he blurred the fact that he had been to Shuiyue Kingdom. It sounded more like he knew that Yelu Hongfei was in Yangyu Pass before he arrived in Shuiyue Kingdom, so he chose to return halfway.
Sure enough, Peng Chuan did not find the loophole in Wu Fan's words, but was attracted by what Wu Fan said.
"Master Wu, you want to assassinate Yelu Hongfei?" Peng Chuan was surprised: "He is in Yangyu Pass now?"
"You should all know about the royal family of Nanping Kingdom, right?" Wu Fan asked.
Peng Chuan and others nodded. Speaking of which, they were also involved in that incident, but they did not participate in directly killing the royal family members of Nanping Kingdom, but they tied down the army of Nanping Kingdom on the battlefield. The actual action was taken by the army of Shuiyue Kingdom.
And the leader was Yelu Hongfei.
"The mastermind of that incident was Yelu Hongfei." Wu Fan said: "Your Majesty of our dynasty has always been worried about this matter, and I, as a minister, naturally have to share the worries of Your Majesty, so this is the assassination of Yelu Hongfei."
Wu Fan's explanation is reasonable. Yelu Hongfei killed so many members of the royal family of Nanping Kingdom. It is normal for the emperor of Nanping Kingdom to kill him for revenge. However, it was still a bit surprising for Peng Chuan that Wu Fan personally took action in this matter.
After all, Wu Fan is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Nanping Kingdom. His status is so high that he should be ranked among the top in the entire Nanping Kingdom. It is really inappropriate for someone like Wu Fan to take action in this kind of assassination.
As if seeing what Peng Chuan was thinking, Wu Fan smiled and said, "Not everyone can successfully assassinate a person like Yelu Hongfei. If I don't do it myself, it will be difficult to avenge this."
Peng Chuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
After all, Yelu Hongfei is the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom. He is strong in himself. In addition, he is the most beloved son of the Emperor of Shuiyue Kingdom. He has many guards around him. Moreover, he has been in the army for a long time. It is indeed not easy for ordinary assassins to assassinate him. It is even difficult to get close to him.
But Wu Fan is different. At the beginning, Wu Fan sneaked into their Black Water Kingdom camp quietly. Even Peng Chuan could not find Wu Fan's trace. Such a method is indeed the most suitable for assassination.
"What Lord Wu said makes sense." Peng Chuan said, "However, how could Yelu Hongfei be in our Yangyu Pass?"
"I can't answer this question for you." Wu Fan said, "Because I don't know either, and I also want to know why he went to Yangyu Pass."
Although Wu Fan heard from the palace of Shuiyue Kingdom that Yelu Hongfei went to Yangyu Pass because he wanted to help the army of Heishui Kingdom and resist the attack of the people of Nanping, Wu Fan didn't believe it, because he knew that the army of Nanping Kingdom didn't attack Heishui Kingdom at all. He even suspected that the reason given by the eunuch was a rumor from somewhere.
If Yelu Honglin hadn't said that Yelu Hongfei was in Yangyu Pass later, Wu Fan wouldn't even believe that Yelu Hongfei was in Yangyu Pass.
"Okay, you guys have a good rest, I'll leave first." Wu Fan didn't choose to stay longer, he still had his own things to do: "Remember, leave the matter of leaving the city to me, don't act rashly."
"Yes, Lord Wu." Peng Chuan and others bowed to Wu Fan.
Since Wu Fan said so, Peng Chuan and his men would not act on their own. They still trusted Wu Fan.
After leaving the courtyard where Peng Chuan and his men lived, Wu Fan went straight to the government office of Linshui City.
After being taken in by the people in the government office, Wu Fan took out a pure gold token that Yelu Honglin had given him before and said, "I am the secret envoy of the Crown Prince of Shuiyue Country. I want to see your emperor."
The people in the government office did not dare to confirm the authenticity and hurriedly called the chief officer. The chief officer was also not sure about the authenticity. After all, this was not a trivial matter. He first arranged for Wu Fan to rest in the government office for a while, and then he took Wu Fan's token and hurried to the palace.
Only their emperor could confirm the authenticity of this matter.
Being arranged in the government office, Wu Fan was not panicked at all. His token was not fake, and he had never shown his face in front of these people before, so there was almost no possibility of being exposed.
Of course, strictly speaking, he was indeed Yelu Honglin's envoy, but Yelu Honglin asked him to assassinate Yelu Hongfei, not to meet the emperor of Heishui Kingdom.
On the other side, in the palace of Heishui Kingdom, Qi Feng was listening to the report of Sun Zhongcai and others with a gloomy face. The atmosphere in the whole hall was extremely depressing. Except for Sun Zhongcai who was reporting, the other ministers lowered their heads and dared not make any sound.
"According to the spies, the scale of the army that has not received the transfer order has exceeded 100,000. Among these 100,000, there are about 80,000 regular troops, and the rest are militia or miscellaneous troops." Sun Zhongcai said to Qi Feng with a serious face: "These troops come from all over, and their destination should be Linshui City!"
"Bang!"
Qi Feng slammed his right hand on the chair fiercely, making a dull sound, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Who is it? Who gave them the courage to mobilize the army privately?" Qi Feng roared: "All the troops are heading towards Linshui City. What do they want to do? Are they going to rebel?! Huh?!"
