Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 31 The Night Before

In the study room of Prince Yan's mansion, Liu Fu stood beside Zhao Xu. Read

"Your Highness, Zhang Kangquan agreed."

After returning from the government office, he didn't drink a sip of water and went straight to report.

"Oh?" Zhao Xu was slightly surprised.

Overnight, the Zhang family turned from a fierce tiger into a docile cat in an instant, which was really surprising.

But this made him even more uneasy.

After all, it's not afraid of a fierce appearance, but a needle hidden in cotton.

"I think about it, the Zhang family is so submissive, either because they are afraid of the prince's mansion, or they are delaying the war. In comparison, I believe the latter more. Yan County is a forbidden delicacy for the Zhang family. How could he just give it to me like this?" Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.

In this chaotic world of intrigue and deception, he can't help but think of the enemy's behavior with the greatest malice.

"This is what I am worried about." Liu Fu frowned. "No matter what happens to the Zhang family, the palace's plan to control Yan County cannot be relaxed. Since this test failed, why not take this opportunity to cut off the wings of the Zhang family, the Huang family and the Du family, and then see how he reacts?" Zhao Xu nodded. Liu Fu's plan was quite cruel. After the decree, this move was equivalent to squeezing the living space of the Zhang family step by step, forcing the Zhang family to show its true face. "I am already doing this. These two days will be the time for the destruction of the Huang family." Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes and told Liu Fu about his use of the Huang family's spies. "Your Highness is smart, but I think this should be done as a plan to kill two birds with one stone." Liu Fu's eyes turned, "This time to cut off the Huang family, Your Highness might as well mobilize the private soldiers of the Dong, Yang, and Lu families to take down the Huangjiawu Fort together. In this way, it can not only reduce the casualties of the palace's personal army, but also completely tie these three families to the palace's chariot." Zhao Xu glanced at Liu Fu. This kid is a bold and strategic person, as he chose to stand on his side when he woke up.

The ideas he came up with in recent days are also in line with his wishes, and it is worth continuing to cultivate.

He said: "It is just what I want. You send three families to the palace, and send officials and guards from the palace to take over the military department."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu bowed and left.

Not long after.

Dong An and his father Dong Yuan, Yang He and his father Yang Cheng, and Lu Chang came to the palace with his father Lu Ran.

Zhang Qian's death has caused a lot of noise in Yancheng.

They also got the news that Zhang Kang showed goodwill to the palace.

This news made them uneasy, and it was not their wish for the palace to accept the Zhang family.

So, they were thinking about whether to come to the palace to find out the attitude of the King of Yan.

Unexpectedly, the palace came to summon them.

"Your Highness."

The three heads of the family and their eldest sons bowed to Zhao Xu.

"I think you have already known about Zhang Qian's matter." Zhao Xu asked.

Dong Yuan nodded, "Zhang Qian's death is very strange. From what I know about Zhang Qian, he had no hidden illness. The sudden death is absurd." "Most likely it was Zhang Kang who did it." Lu Ran said bluntly. Yang Cheng echoed, "That's right, Your Highness, Zhang Qian is just a reckless man. Zhang Kang's talent and strategy are ten times better than his. Don't trust him." "Don't worry, everyone. It is my ambition to destroy the Zhang family. How can I relax because of a few sweet words? It doesn't matter whether Zhang Qian or Zhang Kang is in charge of the Zhang family. Today, I asked you to come to discuss the matter of eliminating the power of the Zhang family..." Zhao Xu said that he wanted to borrow troops from the three families to destroy the Huang family. Hearing that Zhao Xu wanted them to send private troops to take down the Huang family's fortress in the countryside, the three were stunned at the same time. They knew that if they didn't send troops, they could still play the game in Yan County. Once they sent troops, it would be like really tearing their faces with the Zhang family, and they could only rely on the palace from then on. But if they don't send troops, they are worried that the Wang Mansion will really collude with Zhang Kang and then turn against them.

After weighing them, they feel that the latter is the most disadvantageous to them.

Now, they can only go all the way with the Wang Mansion.

The Dong family has benefited the most from the Wang Mansion. Dong Yuan said loudly: "Your Highness's worries are the worries of our Dong family. The Huang and Du families have been causing trouble in Yan County for many years. It's time to deal with them."

"My Lu family has 5,000 elite soldiers and is willing to die for your Highness." Lu Ran said.

Seeing that the Dong and Lu families have expressed their opinions, Yang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the Huangjiawu Fort is only 30 miles away from my Yangjiawu Fort. Tonight I will send someone to inquire about it in preparation for the attack."

All three families agreed, and Zhao Xu was very happy.

The strength of the personal army and county soldiers currently controlled by the Wang Mansion is naturally not as good as that of the Zhang family.

But now that the soldiers of the three families of Dong, Yang and Lu are willing to work for him, it's different.

Since waking up, he has always felt powerless in Yan County.

Now, for the first time, he felt that he had the power to control Yan County.

And the rest was to eliminate the power of the Zhang family.

As for the three families of Dong, Yang and Lu, he would give them some benefits to make them change gently and no longer control the land.

Then let the Yan Wangfu completely control Yan County.

After discussing this matter, Zhao Xu discussed some details with the three families and asked them to go back and prepare and wait for the order from the Wangfu.

Send the three away.

Zhao Xu called Zhou Yi and asked about the spies.

"All three of them entered the wine shop. It is estimated that they will find an opportunity to leave the Wangfu next." Zhou Yi said.

Zhao Xu pondered and said, "Tonight you deliberately set fire to the west courtyard to create chaos so that they can escape. If they leave, send someone to follow them."

Zhou Yi laughed a few times and nodded with a sly smile.

These three spies are as disgusting as flies.

He had wanted to get rid of them a long time ago...

Midnight.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the west courtyard of the Wangfu.

In the side room where the slaves lived, three slaves lying together couldn't sleep.

They are the agents placed in the palace by the Huang family.

After entering the palace, they were closely watched by the guards and had no chance to approach the workshop in the middle courtyard.

Today, three people in the Intermediate Hospital were sick, and they were temporarily transferred to work in the wine shop.

At the end of the day, they basically saw clearly what was in the winery.

After returning from their work, they thought of ways to escape from the palace.

However, the West Courtyard has always been closely guarded, and after thinking hard for a long time, they could not think of any solution.

While he was worrying, suddenly a loud noise came out.

There were many people running around and shouting in the yard.

"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly."

After hearing this, the three of them sat up immediately and saw the flickering fire in the courtyard.

Judu was overjoyed, they looked at each other and immediately ran out of the wing.

Sure enough, a wing was on fire, and the yard was in a mess. The slaves and guards were busy putting out the fire, and no one was at the door.

Looking at each other, they sneaked out of the palace while everyone was in panic and headed towards the place they agreed with the Huang family.

After they left, Chang Wei's figure appeared at the door.

After making a gesture, more than a hundred royal guards in night clothes followed him.

at the same time.

Wang Yanzhong and Xu Lie arrived at an inconspicuous courtyard in the west of Yancheng City.

After stuffing the three masterpieces into the palace, Huang Yu thought he had pinched Wang Yanzhong's sore spot.

In addition, Wang Yanzhong followed Zhao Xu's wishes and told him about what he saw and heard in the palace and some of the arrangements in the palace's middle courtyard. He even believed that Wang Yanzhong had surrendered to him and relaxed his vigilance against Wang Yanzhong.

At Wang Yanzhong's begging, he was even allowed to see his wife and children.

It was this time that Wang Yanzhong remembered the location where his wife and children were imprisoned.

"kill!"

Kicking open the courtyard door, Wang Yanzhong rushed in with a knife.

Those who engage in the slave trade are basically licking blood with the tip of a knife.

The Huang family insulted his wife and children, which offended him.

Tonight, he completely fell out with the Huang family.

From then on, he would rather be a loyal dog of the palace than be oppressed by the wealthy family of Yan County!
