Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 18 The Wind
The next day.

Early in the morning, the people of the whole city found a large number of soldiers patrolling the streets.

From time to time passers-by were stopped and questioned.

The common people didn't know what was going on at first, and then someone revealed that an assassin had sneaked into the palace last night, intending to assassinate Su Yuan, king of Zhenbei.As a result, the assassination failed, several assassins were killed and captured, but one escaped, and now the Zhenbei Army is searching.

For a time people were panicking.

After the news spread, the five major families also received it immediately.

Soon, the heads of the five families gathered in the Zhang family to discuss the matter.

"It would be great if the assassination succeeded!" Li Cheng imagined, "Then our good days will come."

"It's not..."

"I heard it's almost there!"

Several people feel very sorry.

Since Su Yuan took charge of Beifeng City, their five major families have directly become marginal figures in the city.

When Su Tufeng was around, none of them were so humble.

But when Su Yuan came, everything changed... Now the big families don't have the income of many shops, so they have to cut down their personnel expenses and live a "hard life".

Zhang Yuandong said: "Don't be impatient, everyone. Although the assassination failed this time, I guess there will be another time. Do you think those Jianghu sects are used to licking blood with knives, so they will easily give up? "

"Brother Zhang is right."

"I don't know what sect the assassin was from? Could it be the sect that Su Cheng worshiped back then?"

"It should be. If there is no enmity or grievance, ordinary small sects would not want to have enmity with Su Yuan."

Shen Decai asked at this moment: "Brother Zhang, has there been a letter from the capital?"

Zhang Yuandong's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he shook his head.

"not coming."

"This...it shouldn't be."

"Indeed, it shouldn't be. Counting the days, the reply letter should arrive." Zhang Yuandong guessed, "Maybe there is a small problem somewhere... Everyone, please be safe and wait a few more days."

Feng Ronghe said with a bitter face: "I guess people from the Beibei Army will come to ask for money and goods in the next two days... Do you think they will give it or not?"

"Nonsense!" Li Yi rolled his eyes, "Do you dare not give it?"

"Don't dare..."

"Give it." Zhang Yuandong patted Feng Ronghe on the shoulder, "Brother Feng, we just want to stabilize Su Yuan now. We will give him whatever he wants, and let him put down his guard against us. Then we will launch a thunderous blow." , the probability of winning is high.”

"At that time, we will naturally get back what we lost. And the Holy One will definitely reward us more."

"Not bad!"

"I really hope that day will come soon..."

……

……

Zhenbei Wangfu.

Su Yuan yawned, and Shen Lian in front of him immediately said: "My lord looks tired, do you want to take a rest?"

"No. Has the news spread out?"

"Reporting to my lord, my subordinates have let the brothers from all walks of life in the whole city spread it. By now, the whole city should know about the assassination."

"That's good."

Shen Lian asked: "My lord, why are you spreading this matter?"

If Su Yuan ordered this assassination to be kept secret, the common people would not even know about it.

Because everything happened in Zhenbei Palace, not on the street.

This naturally has Su Yuan's intentions... The reason why he didn't let Shen Lian set up an ambush outside to arrest people was because he was worried about fighting on the street, firstly, it might hurt innocent people.The second is that it is possible for several assassins to escape.

It is different to introduce the palace, his palace has long been built like a fortress.Chen Zilei's so-called "weak defense on the west side of the palace wall" was actually set up by Su Yuan deliberately.

He moved the guards over there in order to allow Chen Zilei and the others to sneak in from there.

Sure enough, Chen Zilei and the others were fooled, and there was nothing to say after that.

And why spread...

Su Yuan smiled and said: "The more people who know about this matter, the better, and the appearance of the whole search and arrest is also to let people know that I am very angry... In this way, it is only natural for me to retaliate in the future .”

"Oh!"

Shen Lian suddenly realized, and nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, if everyone didn't know about Su Yuan's assassination, the common people would be at a loss if Su Yuan suddenly wanted to take revenge one day.

Now, publicizing the assassination can be regarded as laying the groundwork for future revenge.

and……

Su Yuan pondered in his heart, the reason why he did this had another intention.

Compared with "revenge", this level of intention is more important, and it even concerns his overall plan.

"Okay. How did the interrogation go?"

"It's all here, my lord"

Shen Lian took out a few pages of paper from his bosom, Su Yuan took it, and examined it carefully.

After a few glances, he sighed in his heart: Jin Yiwei deserves to be a professional interrogator.

On the paper, the names, ages, sects, martial arts level, interpersonal relationship of several people... almost everything that can be thought of is recorded on it.

In addition, the reason for this action is also recorded.

Su Yuan learned that the "hero" was named Chen Zilei, he was the senior brother of these people, and he was also the one who proposed to go down the mountain to avenge Su Cheng.

He also learned that the masters of several people did not agree with this matter, and they secretly went down the mountain at night, intending to take other people's heads and go back to plead guilty to the master.

After reading a few pages, Su Yuan said with emotion: "Jiang is still old and hot. It would be great if you all listened to your master, why did you end up like this?"

Shen Lian asked: "My lord, what should we do with the two of them?"

"How are they doing?"

"Barely hold your breath."

"..."

Su Yuan really didn't want to know how Shen Lian interrogated him. According to historical records, the prisoners would rather commit suicide than enter the "prison" set up by Jin Yiwei, which is enough to show how cruel their methods are.

If it weren't for this group of Jinyiwei who are summoning soldiers and are absolutely loyal to me, I really wouldn't dare to use it...

Su Yuan thought to himself, he didn't want to set up a torture prison on his own territory.

As for those two junior juniors of Chen Zilei... Su Yuan couldn't be sympathetic either.

People are here to assassinate you, and you still sympathize with them?Is it cheap.

"Don't let them die yet, hang on for a while." Su Yuan thought for a while.

"Yes."

"Hmm... Is there any news from the mainland in the past two days?"

"It's nothing important." Shen Lian said.

The news from the mainland refers to the [-] Jinyiwei sent by Su Yuan to infiltrate the cities of the Northland and the capital of the Central Plains.

The news they sent back was also sorted out by Shen Lian first, and then handed over to Su Yuan for inspection.

It's only a few days since this group of people left, so it's normal that they haven't collected any important news.

"Then go get busy."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

After Shen Lian left, Su Yuan went to find Chu Changning again.

The latter is practicing kung fu, hoping to reach the acquired peak earlier, so that he can step into the innate realm through the "Qi Hai Ningyun Pill".

Su Yuan found him in the martial arts arena and told him to do something.

"Changning, you have been in the Jianghu before, and you are familiar with the affairs in the Jianghu. I want you to make a noise in the Jianghu."

"My lord, what news do you want to make?"

"Naturally, it was my assassination. Let everyone in the Jianghu know that I, Su Yuan, have spoken out to make the sect that assassinated me pay the price in blood."

Chu Changning's heart was shocked: "My lord, this is... this subordinate understands!"

Su Yuan patted Chu Changning on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Killing chickens to scare monkeys, I think those Jiang Hu people should understand this truth even if they don't read much."
