Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 15 Between life and death

"Your Highness, Zhang Rang cannot be arrested, otherwise the Prince of Yan's Mansion will completely offend the Zhang family. Read М"

In the guest hall of the Prince's Mansion, Dong An tried hard to persuade them.

Although they wanted to use the Prince's Mansion to contain the Zhang family.

But they didn't want to be at loggerheads with the Zhang family.

After all, the Zhang family was powerful, and if they really broke up, they might not be able to win.

Yang He and Lu Chang nodded frequently.

The commotion in Tianxiang Tower was not small, and the news quickly spread throughout the small Yancheng.

Liu Fu and Chang Wei also rushed back to the Prince's Mansion after hearing the news.

"Can't be arrested, why can't we arrest her? That woman is not a servant of the Zhang family. According to the law of Dasong, those who kill without reason should be beheaded. In my opinion, Your Highness has arrested her well, and it's a pleasure!" Chang Wei stared at Dong An and the other two with a pair of tiger eyes.

When he heard the news, he was in the North Camp.

At that time, he shouted, "Good."

The soldiers of the Royal Guards knew about it, and they were all excited.

In recent years, who dared to touch the people of the Zhang family in Yan County.

The King of Yan made a move, which excited the people. For them, there was finally someone in Yan County who could control the Zhang family.

Although Liu Fu was happy, he was the King's tutor of the palace after all, and he had to consider the overall situation.

Naturally, he could not be as reckless as the soldiers like Chang Wei.

He said: "Your Highness, if you do this, you will offend the Zhang family to death. I am afraid that he will obstruct the affairs of the palace in the future, which will not be worth the loss."

Zhao Xu did not speak after hearing this, but turned to Dong An and the other two.

Said: "Today's lunch, the king is very satisfied. The royal army is currently lacking military uniforms. I wonder if you three families can supply them to the palace."

Military uniforms are not armor, they only need to be woven and sewn. It would take time to do it yourself. It is better to give it to the three families, and you can further win them over.

"No problem." Dong An immediately put Zhang Rang's matter behind his head and was very happy.

The King of Yan agreed with them.

Zhao Xu continued, "There will be a lot of business in the future, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation."

Yang Heqiang said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. My Yang family will follow the lead of the palace."

"Our Lu family is the same." Lu Chang clasped his fists.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. He just listened to this, and the details depended on their actions.

"Today's matter will not involve your three families. You can go back and don't worry. Also, don't disclose the palace courtyard and the palace's affairs for the time being."

The three looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why Zhao Xu mentioned the courtyard, they still said yes.

After the three people bowed, they left the guest hall.

When the three people walked away, Zhao Xu's eyes became sharp.

He asked the three people not to mention the courtyard in order to test them.

Whether they really want to rely on the palace will probably depend on tonight.

Then, he said to Liu Fu and Chang Wei, "Do you know Qingfeng Village?"

"Qingfeng Village?" Liu Fu's face changed slightly when he heard this, "I know, I heard from people in Yan County that Qingfeng Village is a group of very cruel robbers in Yan County."

Chang Wei nodded, "It is said that because of the annual invasion of the Northern Di people, many people either rely on the nobles or become bandits. This Qingfeng Village is one of them, and it is said that there are thousands of desperate people under its command."

"Yeah." Zhao Xu's heart sank.

On the way back, he read the note, which read: Tonight, the Zhang family colluded with Qingfeng Village to attack the palace at night.

"Look at this." He showed the note to the two.

Chang Wei and Liu Fu were both surprised, "Your Highness, what's the matter with this note?"

Zhao Xu then told the story of the singer.

"It's really strange. First, Zhang Rang killed a singer, and now another singer sent a note to expose the Zhang family's conspiracy. This Tianxiang Tower is really a small temple with a lot of evil winds." Liu Fu frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded. He didn't care who the singer was. The most important thing at the moment was the content on the note. "It's better to believe it than not to believe it."

In the chaotic world where human life is as cheap as a dog, the power struggle is often extremely cruel. He absolutely believes that the Zhang family can do it.

It is the duty of the county soldiers to guard the gates of Yancheng.

And the county soldiers are under the control of the three families headed by the Zhang family.

It is easy for them to deliberately let the people of Qingfeng Village in.

"What a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and take advantage of the fact that your highness's personal army has not yet formed combat power. If there is no help, I'm afraid..." Chang Wei is very brave.

At this time, he was also scared and sweating.

"Your highness, you'd better leave the palace quickly. Save your life now." Liu Fu was also panicked.

He couldn't help but panic.

The notoriety of Qingfeng Village is known to everyone in Yan County. There are desperate people inside.

How can the one hundred guards of the palace resist these bandits?

Chang Wei likes to be straightforward, but he is not brainless.

He said, "Your Highness, we can't stay in the palace. Where can we go if we just leave? There are spies of the Zhang family everywhere in Yan County. Moreover, without the emperor's order, the princes are not allowed to leave their fiefdoms, otherwise it will be regarded as treason, which is a taboo." Zhao Xu nodded, "The Zhang family has us in their hands. In this case, we should just use their tricks against us." "Use their tricks against us?" Chang Wei and Liu Fu looked at each other and then at Zhao Xu. Walking slowly to the door, he said, "Chang Wei, go to the personal army to dispatch 500 of the strongest young men to carry food and grass, and then do this..." Chang Wei listened carefully, and his originally frowned brows gradually relaxed. When Zhao Xu finished speaking, he clasped his fists heavily, "I will go right away." Liu Fu exclaimed, "Your Highness is wise. Tonight, I'm sure the Zhang family will lose more than they gain."

Zhao Xu looked in the direction of the Zhang family and sighed: "It's just that the Zhang family is so vicious. If it's not eliminated in a day, it will really be a serious problem for the palace."

Liu Fu had the same worries.

Now the palace is in the light, and the Zhang family is in the dark.

They can plan this assassination, and they can continue to plan the next assassination.

"It is true, but if we act rashly, we are afraid that they will jump over the wall and raise troops to rebel. Since the royal army has just been established and has not yet formed an army, it may be difficult to resist." Liu Fu hurriedly advised.

He was afraid that Zhao Xu would be impulsive and mess up his big plan.

After all, King Yan had just recovered a few days ago. Although he had won some people's hearts, it was only a small group of people in Yan County.

The royal family's troops are all new recruits, and their military morale and morale are not very reliable.

Furthermore, the three private soldiers of Zhang, Huang, and Du together are said to have more than 20,000 people.

This does not include the soldiers of Yan County.

"I understand."

Zhao Xu knew how much he weighed, and it had only been four or five days since he traveled through time.

It's a bit crazy to think of wiping out the number one wealthy family in Yan County based on the noise he made in four or five days.

As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and yourself, you will be victorious in every battle.

Where is the Wubao of Zhang, Huang and Du's families? How many troops are there in the fort? How many cavalry and infantry are there? How is the combat power? Even if we don't understand, how can we destroy these three families?

However, even though he couldn't destroy the three families, he didn't have to be afraid of them.

If we say that before the Guards were recruited, he was a piece of meat that could be slaughtered by the Zhang family.

So now, he already has some capital.

Moreover, the Zhang family obviously did not dare to raise troops to deal with themselves because they were playing such a dirty trick. Everyone was wary.

In this case, let's have a fight and see who wins!

Thinking of this, he said, "Today the Zhang family has a plan to make this king uncomfortable, and tomorrow the king has a plan to make the Zhang family feel uncomfortable."

"Oh? If so, I hope His Highness's plan will succeed tonight, otherwise..." Liu Fu said in surprise, and then choked with sobs in his throat, "Although I have only been with His Highness for a few days, I can still feel that His Highness is the master of sage." , even if His Highness arrives at Yama Palace, the subordinates will follow him."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu sprayed a sip of tea in Liu Fu's face, "If a dog can't spit out ivory, how could I die so easily?"

Liu Fu wiped his face and said, "Hang up, what does this mean?"

Zhao Xu ignored him lazily and kicked him on the butt, "Get out."

Liu Fu left, and the smile on Zhao Xu's face gradually disappeared.

In the past, he had only seen these power struggles in TV dramas and books. Only after experiencing them personally did he realize how dangerous they were.

But he had nothing else but an indomitable drive.

Let him be a monster and be afraid of a ball.

Zhang family.

Zhang Qian and Zhang Kang sat opposite each other in the pavilion in the courtyard, holding candles and drinking with each other.

"Brother, Rang'er is also in the palace at this time, does it really not matter?"

"It doesn't matter, I have specifically told the people in Qingfeng Village that they will not harm Rang'er. When King Yan dies, Rang'er can come back." Zhang Qian was proud.

A few days ago, the Zhang family carried boxes of silver, bags of food, and stacks of land deeds to the palace, and he felt distressed every night.

Now these belongings will be back soon, not to mention how happy he is.

Zhang Kang nodded and said, "Brother is really right to help the second master of Qingfeng Village, Pang Kun, to kill the first master, Zhou Jie. I didn't expect that it would come in handy today."

Zhang Qian was even more proud. No one in Yan County in Qingfeng Village would have expected to obey the Zhang family's advice.

He smiled and said: "Originally, this Qingfeng Stronghold was used to deal with the Dong, Yang, and Lu families. Since King Yan is becoming more and more annoying, there is no harm in using it on him first."

Looking up at the waning moon rising in the east, he said: "At midnight, Prince Yan's Mansion disappeared into thin air."

"Hahaha..." Zhang Kang laughed happily.

The new king Fu Liu Fu, a lowly man from a poor family, wanted to be above him. It was simply a dream.

He picked up the wine glass and gave Zhang Qian a toast. He thought of something and said, "I heard that a team of the royal family's troops went to the palace today. Is there anything wrong? If I miss this time and the palace is on guard, it will be difficult in the future." ”

"Don't worry, the people watching said they just went to clean the palace and went back in the evening."

"That's good." Zhang Kang was reassured, "After we clean up the palace, and then clean up the Dong, Yang, and Lu families, we will be able to monopolize the majority of the ice sales, and then our strength will be even greater."

Zhang Qian's heart warmed up when he heard this.

In the Dasong Dynasty, the wealthy families also had high and low family status, and people like them could basically only serve as officials in their own county.

But if they become stronger, they will be qualified to serve as officials in the state capital or even the capital.

"Prince Yan, Prince Yan, you are really the lucky star of our Zhang family. You gave us this great gift just after you recovered from your illness. But it's a pity that you threatened our interests." Zhang Qian shook his head and sneered again and again.

In the dark sky, the moon climbed higher and higher.

Midnight comes quietly.

When everything was silent, many people wearing night clothes suddenly emerged from the dark corners of Yancheng.

They met in the street, and then headed towards the palace with shining swords.

"Master, the middle courtyard is where the palace is, and the two courtyards on the left and right are empty."

Three men in black were hiding under the corner to discuss.

"Well, you take a dozen brothers to the main entrance and lure away the guards at the main entrance of the palace." The man in black in the middle said to the one on the left.

He is Pang Kun, the leader of Qingfeng Village.

Then he said to the one on the right: "You, take the people to the middle courtyard and keep an eye on the money and food. The rest of the people will follow me to the backyard bedroom and kill King Yan."

The two nodded and took their own people.

At this time, Pang Kun led the remaining 300 people into the empty courtyard on the right, climbed over a wall, and entered the palace.

When he came to the backyard, Pang Kun saw the lights swaying in the bedroom, and there seemed to be three people sitting in front of the lights. He smiled lewdly and said: "King Yan is really interested. I heard that King Yan's two maids are very beautiful. Maybe we can have a taste tonight." ”

When the men in black around him heard this, they immediately let out low evil laughs.

"Fight in! Leave those two maids alive first." Pang Kun shouted.

Behind him, dozens of men in black rushed straight into the dormitory.

Pang Kun crossed his arms with a relaxed expression and said to himself: Why do we need five hundred people for such a small matter? The Zhang family is too careful.
