Become a feudal king from today

Zhangshan Village. ReadМ

late at night.

Li Zhengsun Fu was listening to what some villagers were saying.

"There are suddenly a lot more unfamiliar faces today."

"There used to be more than a hundred people."

"There are more at night, but I can't see clearly. The total number is estimated to be four to five hundred."

"It seems like people are coming from all directions to our Zhangshan Village. It's really strange."

"..."

Sun Fu frowned, "Don't say more, I will send someone to the government office tomorrow to explain the situation."

Thinking of something, he said: "Five miles ahead, it seems to be the Lu family's villa."

Everyone nodded.

One person said, "There is a forest halfway up the road."

Liu Fu's frown deepened, "Who dares to see if they got into the woods?"

"I'll go," a young man shouted. "I know the woods well. I can walk there even in the dark. I also know the path to the woods."

Liu Fu nodded, "These sons of bitches are here to harm our Highness. We can't let them succeed. I'll leave this matter to you, leftover."

The boy known as Leftover nodded, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Zhengzi headed towards the woods.

This woods is a beautiful place, with a small stream leading here.

Every summer, he comes here to catch cicada monkeys.

After going around in a circle, Zhengzi got into the woods from the path.

Under the moonlight, the hazy light made it possible to see things. They saw many black shadows coming and going in the moonlight from a distance.

"There must be five or six hundred people here." Leftover exclaimed secretly.

Then he took a closer look and found that these people seemed to be digging on the road and stuffing something into the dug holes.

After observing for a while, they found that these people had no other actions, so the leftover returned to the village.

The next day, he and Li Zheng Liu Fu went to the government office.

Tell everything you discovered.

The news was quickly sent to the palace.

"Your Highness, there are five to six hundred people ambushed in the woods three miles east of Zhangshan Village." Liu Fu said.

"Zhangshan Village, isn't this halfway to the villa?" Zhao Xu frowned.

At this time, Tsui Hark was also in the palace.

He said: "There are also people ambushing near the villa. They are hiding in the woods behind the villa. In this way, they set up two ambushes."

"Well, Yuan Li has really put his mind into it this time." Zhao Xu sneered.

The Lu family's Qinglian Villa is halfway up a low mountain.

After Xu Hark found out about this situation, Chang Wei had already led his troops to hide in the woods under the villa last night.

Liu Fu was worried, "Your Highness, you should think it over carefully. This matter is not a child's play. Let's not go to this banquet. Just kill all the assassins in one go."

"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired." Zhao Xu said, now that things have happened, he can only bite the bullet.

After a pause, he said to Tsui Hark: "Send the information to Chang Wei immediately, and deal with the assassins who are ambushing halfway at the beginning of the banquet."

"Yes, Your Highness." Tsui Hark responded, turned and left.

Then Zhao Xu said to Xu Lie next to him: "Xu Lie, this time my life is in your hands."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general is here, no one can get close to His Highness." Xu Lie patted his plate armor.

According to the agreement with Lu Ran, today's noon is the time for him to attend the appointment.

As the time gradually reached noon, Zhao Xu set off surrounded by Xu Lie and other guards.

Qinglian Villa.

Lu Ran had already asked his servants to prepare the ingredients for that day's banquet, and was just waiting for everyone to arrive.

When Zhao Xu arrived, Lu Ran, Xue Pan, Zhu Rong and others were all present.

Yesterday, the two of them arrived and stayed at the villa for one night.

"Your Highness, you are here." Lu Ran saw Zhao Xu and walked over diligently.

Xue Pan and Zhu Rong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

After being led by Lu Ran to sit on the main seat, Zhao Xu returned the greetings one by one and said at this time: "Please sit down, both of you. It is really gratifying to me that you can understand the righteousness and hand over the land."

Xue Pan and Zhu Rong looked at each other and laughed. Zhu Rong said: "This is as it should be. What His Highness wants is what we think. From now on, we are only willing to serve under His Highness."

Xue Pan glanced sideways at the guards in full armor behind King Yan, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, today's banquet is a banquet where your Highness and I turn our hostility into jade and silk. We then disbanded the private soldiers and returned the property. Now these soldiers are on the side. It's a little bit elegance, so it's better to change it to a singer to make it look a little more interesting."

Without waiting for Zhao Xu to speak, Xu Lie said: "The governor of Xue is overly worried. Even if the governor of Xue travels, he will always take his servants with him to protect him. Your Highness is a rich man, so it is extremely simple to travel with only thirty guards."

"What Commander Xu said is true," Lu Ran said flatteringly, "His Royal Highness is a dignified prince, these people are not worth making a fuss about."

While speaking, he looked at Xue Pan strangely.

I thought this shouldn't be what he said.

Xue Pan looked arrogant. When Zhao Xu came here, in his opinion, Zhao Xu had fallen into the palm of his hands, so he spoke rudely.

At this time, he realized that he didn't need to be a slave. For him, he had his own plan.

After pondering for a while, Xue Pan made up his mind and said: "It's not because I am overly worried, but I'm afraid His Highness has been guarding against me and others. Otherwise, His Highness had just taken over Ping County and Liao County and he couldn't wait to check the fields, fearing that he might have the intention to eliminate us. , Your Highness probably knows this better than I do.”

With a sneer, Xue Pan continued: "The Gao family of Shanggu County and Zhang Furniture of Yan County were all killed by His Highness. It can be seen that His Highness hates the wealthy families like us."

In an instant, the entire courtyard fell into silence, and everyone's breathing seemed like thunder.

Lu Ran's face turned pale and his body was trembling slightly. He changed his expression and said, "Xue Pan, what nonsense are you talking about? You asked me to invite His Highness to the banquet. Why are you so rude?"

"Lü Ran, and you, you have really disgraced our Yanzhou wealthy family. Let me ask Dasong, the wealthy people in that place are invited as guests even if they are not members of the royal family, but you are willing to become one of those untouchables, like a pig. You are like a dog, and you have lost all the face of our wealthy family." Xue Pan pointed at Lu Ran without any politeness.

All the wealthy families in Yanzhou were suppressing their anger towards King Yan, but now he finally spoke out freely.

Lu Ran said angrily: "Xue Pan, what do you mean by this? Are you here to cause trouble? You are disrespectful. Although we have disbanded our private soldiers and returned our property, we still do business openly. What's the shame? of."

"Executive Officer Lu, please let Mr. Sun finish his words." Zhao Xu suddenly said at this time.

Xue Pan was impatient and couldn't wait to make him look bad as soon as he arrived.

"Your Highness, what I mean is very simple. Only a virtuous person can occupy the position of King Yan. Your Highness is obviously devoid of virtue. Otherwise, so many wealthy families would not be allowed to oppose His Highness. As the saying goes, those who are righteous will get more help, and those who are unjust will have few." Xue Pan said.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Xu burst out laughing suddenly, "It's good that those who are enlightened will get more help, while those who are unjust will have little help. It's better for Sheriff Xue to ask the people who is more enlightened."

"What do those untouchables know? My way is the way of the rich and powerful. This world belongs to the rich and powerful, but you, King Yan, are going in the opposite direction. Now that you don't want to repent, you can only seek justice for us." ”

After Xue Pan said this, a whistle suddenly sounded, and then a burst of shouts of killing suddenly came from outside the hospital.

This was his signal to the assassins.

Xu Lie's expression flashed, and he immediately led thirty guards to protect Zhao Xu.

At the same time, a scream suddenly sounded from the banquet.

Xue Pan was shocked when he saw this. The moment the whistle sounded, three servants at the banquet suddenly rose up. Zhu Rong's neck was cut open by one person, and two wealthy officials from Pingjun who came with him were stabbed to death.

They are the people of Yanwei.

"Protect me." Xue Pan shouted, and the dozen or so Xue family disciples who came with him immediately rushed forward.

Xu Lie gave the guards around him a look, and the guards rushed towards the Xue family children.
