Chapter 209 Turn-Based Assassination
"If you talk about peace of mind and recuperation, you will definitely recover, and there is no other way!"

"Xiao Mingwang's medical skills are excellent, his prescription is indeed effective, and our method is more effective..."

"Forgive me for my inability to do anything, farewell!"

……

"Don't say goodbye, take them down, and live in the mansion during this time."

Zan Xi Ruo raised his hand weakly, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Bring the fourth brother here!"

When Xi Duoyu walked into the room, he saw that his sister-in-law was supporting his brother and carefully feeding his medicine, so he couldn't help being startled.

Suddenly, he seemed to see Zamp.

The same is true, groggy and ill, leaning on the princess's arms to drink medicine.

He called out sadly, "Brother?"

Zan Xiruo slowly opened his eyes.

After taking a full view of his younger brother's expression, the once mighty Tubo Dalun glared angrily and said, "What kind of expression do you have?"

Sitayu hurriedly said, "No... I just..."

Zan Xiruo tried hard to raise his hand, wanting to wave majestically, but turned into trembling unwillingly: "The feeling of being seriously ill is really hard, but my body will get better, and I won't be so weak all the time!"

Sita nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Zan Xiruo's tone slowed down: "But it won't happen in a short time. The staff of the Shenwei should not be used to find doctors and medicinal materials. First, spread the news that Zanpu's assassination was plotted by the Tang people. The envoy stayed in Wangcheng. It always makes me uneasy, if you want to take them down quickly, at least you have to force them away!"

Siddhartha's face was full of bitterness: "Yesterday Zanpu appeared in the Imperial Guards of the East City again, and punched a set of punches in front of all the soldiers..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice: "Originally we could still fabricate rumors, but now outsiders care more about you, brother..."

Zan Xiruo frowned: "Why?"

Siddhartha said: "Brother has been in charge of the government for many years, calling the wind and rain, and the people's prestige is higher than that of Zanpu. Now that Zanpu shows up and you don't show up, those people are more keen to spread your gossip."

Hearing the first half of the sentence before, Zan Xiruo would be very happy, but now his face is livid: "Let the guards keep an eye on those who talk nonsense. Back then, it was rumored that my Gar family was a subinuhu. I am afraid it is a group of people. , this time we must arrest them and completely block the news!"

Xi Duoyu sighed secretly, how could such gossip in the streets and alleys be sealed?
He looked at the doctor who had just been taken down, and persuaded him, "Brother, the doctor can no longer be locked up. There are not as many doctors in our country as in the Tang country. It is better to detain them all in the mansion, and there will be trouble outside." Let them go back, nonsense is strictly prohibited."

Zan Xiruo said in a full of hostility: "Once they go back, the news will be completely hidden, and they will not care what other people are doing! Speculations and opinions are better than definite evidence. When necessary, none of these doctors can stay. Kill them all!"

Siddha was more than agitated, but seeing his murderous elder brother, he finally kept his mouth shut.

The more Zan Xiruo thought about it, the more angry he became: "I was lying on the bed and couldn't move, but Zanpu showed up frequently and punched me? He's never punched before, cough cough cough!"

After a violent cough, even a little of the previous soup was choked out, and Xi Ruomu showed murderous intentions: "This is not going to work, fourth brother, you must gather the masters of the divine guards and prepare for the assassination!"

Sitayu's complexion changed drastically: "Do you want to assassinate again?"

Zan Xiruo said: "When I am recovering, I have to let Zanpu lie on the bed weakly, so that you can take charge of the overall situation and ensure that the power of my Gar family will not be shaken!"

Siddhartha said: "But this is the assassination of Zanpu, brother, how can this matter be repeated again and again?"

Zan Xiruo said angrily: "Didn't he also send someone to assassinate me? Let's assassinate each other and see who will fall first!"

Seeing that Xi Duoyu was still shaking his head, Zan Xiruo persuaded, "Fourth brother, I was careless before, but I didn't expect Zanpu to use such a sinister trick. Now that I am prepared, everything will be different!"

Sitayu: "..."

It's over, the eldest brother is so seriously injured that he even scolded himself.

Zan Xiruo was not impulsive, but thoughtful on the contrary: "Now the mansion is protected by your divine guards, and King Xiao Ming leads the monks from the Dalun Temple to patrol, the assassins can't even think about breaking in again, then there are only us What are you afraid of for taking action?"

Xi Duoyu still didn't dare, hesitated for a while and said: "Brother, forgive me, I will go to the third brother to discuss it."

After leaving Dalun Mansion, he headed for the White House.

Zamba is working.

Compared with Zan Xinruo's domineering and one-sidedness, he is gentle and good at mediating the relationship between all parties. In the past few days, he has taken over the position of prime minister, which is recognized by all parties.

Seeing this, Siddhartha was relieved: "With my third brother here, I won't worry if the situation is stabilized!"

Zan Po shook her head: "No, I can't replace Eldest Brother. What I'm doing now is Da Lun's job. They are willing to obey, but once they want to lead them to fight against Zan Pu, it won't work."

Prestige is a kind of unconditional trust cultivated over time, no matter how good the ability is, sometimes it cannot replace it.

The most obvious point is that if Zan Xiruo led the team, the head of a thousand households under him dared to follow and rushed to the palace. If Zan Po was replaced, he might be tied up and sent to the palace.

This is not only Zan Xiruo's own prestige, when Lu Dongzan was alive, he always brought this eldest son to show up, and then entrusted the position of Da Lun with one hand. passed on.

Xi Duoyu ordered the left and right to step back, and told Zan Xiruo's thoughts in a low voice: "Third brother, please persuade elder brother!"

However, Zanpo said decisively: "It must be done like this!"

Sitayu changed color: "You also agree to the assassination?"

Zanpo sighed: "I can't help it. I originally hoped to share some power and stabilize the other party first, but judging from Zanpu's high-profile these days, that is also an extravagant wish! If Zanpu's momentum cannot be suppressed this time, The situation where our family is the only one in Tubo will never come back, it’s okay to be prosperous and then decline, I’m afraid the whole family will be wiped out!"

Sitayu thought for a moment, with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Okay! Then send another assassin! This time I want them to confirm that Zanpu is seriously injured, and then leave!"

……

That night.

The four brothers gathered again at the Dalun Mansion, under the protection of a group of Dalun Temple monks Anxin, silently waiting for the good news from the assassin.

In the middle of the night, Zan Xiruo couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep, but the other three people had an unexpected and reasonable result:

The Imperial Guards of the Eastern City firmly guarded the main roads of the palace, constantly patrolling, and the assassins could not find a chance to sneak in.

One person was also found, but thanks to the timely evacuation, he was not caught.

Zan Po thought for a while and said, "The imperial guards don't have many soldiers, so it's impossible to patrol like this every night. Let's wait for the next opportunity!"

Bren Zanren looked at Siddharth: "Fourth brother, what about the assassin you sent before? I heard that the commander's martial arts is the strongest in the dark guard. Why don't you let him go?"

Siddhartha said: "I told this person to stay away from the royal city before, and wait for the wind to reappear."

Bren Zanren began to analyze: "Fourth brother, let this person take the shot. At this moment, we must hit every shot! If other assassins are caught and confess to us, the result will still be the same. Why not send the strongest assassin? This reason?"

Zan Po nodded: "Fifth Brother's words are reasonable!"

Siddhartha said: "I understand, but that person always sees the beginning and the end, and I don't know where he went. I can only put down the contact signal at a fixed location. I am not sure when I will receive it."

Bren Zanjian frowned: "Your commander, is this unconscionable?"

Xi Duoyu explained: "When my father handed over the head of the guard to me, he said that this person has a special status and is related to a senior official in the Tang Dynasty. He can be given a high position, but he should not be trusted too much. I only use it at critical moments. , the usual affairs are handed over to other commanders..."

"Whoosh!!"

"There are thieves!"

Just as he was talking, an arrow suddenly pierced through the air and landed in the courtyard.

The three brothers suddenly changed their colors when they heard noises coming from outside, followed by a burst of noise and chasing after them.

"Are all the benefactors injured?"

The three of them didn't dare to move, and they were relieved when they heard Kumara's voice coming from outside after a while.

Zanpo invited Kumara in: "Master, what happened just now?"

Kumara said: "An assassin approached and showed his whereabouts."

Sitayu said angrily, "Where are people!"

Kumara said: "The assassin shot an arrow from a distance and fled directly. The distance is too far for us to stop."

Bren praised the blade gratefully: "Thank you, master, thanks to your protection, the assassins are not allowed to run rampant!"

Kumara clasped his hands together: "Don't dare, Dalun seems to have been disturbed just now, everyone go and have a look."

The three hurried to Zan Xiruo's room, and saw that the elder brother had woken up, his face was full of anger, and they roared when they met: "We just sent assassins to the palace, and the other party immediately sent assassins, fight There has to be back and forth! Cough cough!"

Listening to the exasperated coughing, the three brothers fell silent.

I send one, you send one, now it's really a turn-based assassination.

It is a political struggle that fits the national conditions of Tubo.

Zan Xiruo was obviously stimulated, and said decisively: "We must pay back, third child, let Gu Ri and Sanan come to see me tomorrow!"

The two heads of thousands of households are loyal members of the Gar family, and Xi Duoyu's face changed slightly: "Brother, are you going to rush to the palace? The strength of their troops alone is not enough to suppress the Eastern City Guards!"

Zan Xiruo said: "Don't worry, I haven't lost my temper yet. We need at least half of the heads of thousands of households to follow us before we can directly rush into the palace. I let them come to put on a tough stance to attract the guards of the East City." attention!"

Zanpo understood: "After all, the number of guards in the palace is limited, so it is easy to lose sight of one another. Brother, this trick is feasible, but it can only be used once."

Xi Duoyu thought of his younger brother's pertinent suggestion just now, nodded and said: "Since it can only be used once, then we must send the strongest assassin! I will let the chief commander of the divine guard strike again!"

Zan Zhiruo tried to straighten his upper body, and after failure, made a final conclusion:

"I'm lying down, Zanpu can't stand! This time, I must beat Zanpu to the ground!"

　Wishing everyone good fortune, Gong Xi Fa Cai!
