Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 69 You Can Stay
Gu Lifeng has decided to kill Zhang Qian.

Just as Hagen, his top aide, said, if he killed the envoy from the Zhenbei Army, Su Yuan would definitely be furious.

If Su Yuan beheaded Gu Lilie in a fit of anger, then the next king of Beirong must belong to him, Gu Lifeng.

Because apart from Gu Lilie, among the other princes, he has the most warriors under his command!
At that time, even if the king does not agree, it will not work.

Gu Lifeng thought with red eyes, unless the king wants Bei Rong to be completely finished, otherwise even if he is reluctant, the seat will still be passed to me!

But when to do it?
Gu Lifeng discussed with Hagen all night.

Zhang Qian will live in Muhe Street not far from Wangting in the past few days in Beirong.Muhe Street itself is the permanent residence of other tribesmen, with a well-developed commerce and trade, and many people come and go.

It would be best if he could be assassinated directly, but this is not feasible.

Because Zhang Qian came with hundreds of soldiers from Zhenbei.

Except when Zhang Qian entered the royal court to meet the king, at any other time, these soldiers would surround Zhang Qian to protect him.

Send a single swordsman to go, and if the assassination fails, they will scare the snake away.

At that time, once the king learns about this, he will definitely take action immediately, and he might let Zhang Qian live in the royal court.At that time, it is almost impossible to do it again.

You must know that in the royal court, only the king is qualified to kill!
If others dare to use force in the royal court, it will be like assassinating the king.

Even a prince would be killed by the king's guards on the spot.

Gu Lifeng didn't dare to do that, he had to make sure that he would succeed the first time and kill Zhang Qian on Muhe Street.

He thought about poisoning Zhang Qian's food, but after questioning, he found out that Zhang Qian and the others seemed to have their own dry food, and had never bought food from outside.

"Elder Prince." Hagen suggested at this time, "Why don't you use the excuse of 'selecting new warriors' to send a group of freshmen to the Royal City. At that time, we will fight at night, break Zhang Qian's guards, and kill him."

"This... transfer people to Wangcheng..."

"The eldest prince doesn't have to worry, he just needs to use the excuse that Wan Sheng's camp has been broken and Bei Rong needs new warriors to defend his homeland. Others will not be suspicious, they will only think that the eldest prince cares about his homeland."

Gu Lifeng's eyes brightened: "It's true to say that! It's just that the number of people can't be too many."

Hagen said: "Only two or three hundred people are enough. When a surprise attack is launched at night, the number of enemies will be two or three times as large. Even if the Northern Army is good at fighting, so what?"

"Haha not bad."

Gu Lifeng is obviously very satisfied with this plan.

He praised Hagen: "Hagen, your strategy is very good. When I succeed to the throne in the future, you will become my most trusted right-hand man!"

The two finalized the plan and went to prepare for execution.

Zhang Qian was completely unaware of all this. After waking up in the morning, he went to the royal court to meet the King of Beirong again.

King Beirong said that after thinking about it overnight, he was willing to make an exchange for the lives of the Beirong warriors.But Zhang Qian wanted too much, and he couldn't give it.He can only give three thousand cattle and sheep plus one hundred camels.

Zhang Qian naturally disagreed, and the two sides bargained a lot, and the verbal confrontation was very fierce.

In the end, the king of Beirong was so angry that he almost killed Zhang Qian, but Zhang Qian still refused to give in.

Reluctantly, he finally decided to use four thousand five cattle and sheep each, plus three hundred camels, in exchange for more than 1 soldiers and Gu Lilie from Beirong.

However, Zhang Qianming said in the conditions agreed upon by the two parties that there was no precedence.

King Beirong originally wanted to get the people back first, and then the livestock would naturally rely on them if they could, but seeing Zhang Qian pointing them out, he was very helpless, and finally agreed with his nose.

As for the time and place of the transaction, the two sides had to discuss again. The King of Beirong said that he would discuss with his subordinates and give Zhang Qian an answer in two days, so Zhang Qian had to wait for another two days.

It doesn't matter to him, as long as the task Su Yuan entrusted to him is completed.

In the afternoon, people transferred by Gulifeng entered the city.

A total of 270 people was the maximum number he could dispatch in a hurry.These people have almost never been to Wangcheng, and they are unfamiliar faces, so it is difficult to be recognized.

Due to Gu Lifeng's explanation in advance, these people pretended not to know each other when they entered the city, and only gathered together under Gu Lifeng's secret arrangement after entering the city.

As the planner of this operation, Hagen also served as the commander.

He distributed the prepared armor and swords to the nearly 300 warriors.Tell them who the target is and what to do when they do it.

"At that time, I will personally lead you there." Hagen said to the crowd, "You must display your warrior spirit and fight bravely. As long as you kill that Da Zhou man, it will be a great achievement! In the future, after the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, you will be All of them will be included in the Great Royal Family Guard."

"Hey!" Everyone responded in unison, each looking excited.

They all knew that the best home for the soldiers of the Northern Army was the Great Royal Family Guards. They didn't have to go to the battlefield, and they were treated well.

It's just that they don't know at all that the number of clan guards is limited, usually no more than a hundred.There are nearly 300 of them, how could they all be included.

Hagen had long thought that it would be good to have half of these people left after tonight.After all, those soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were not idlers, even if it was a surprise attack, they would have to pay a price if they wanted to kill them easily.

……

When Hagen planned the assassination, the real Assassin A[-] had already entered Zhenbei Palace.

What he said in front of Shen Lian was immediately relayed to Su Yuan by the soldiers.

Su Yuan is currently in Grand Master Zhenmiao's small courtyard, no doubt he thinks this is the safest place in the entire palace.

"I want to see him too." Su Yuan looked at Zhen Miao, "Grand Master... You said, there will be no danger, right? For example, when we meet, that guy suddenly violently strikes."

Zhen Miao smiled and said: "You are really cautious. Well, if you are really worried, let the assassin come here, with me by your side, you will never be afraid again."

"That's a good feeling."

Su Yuan was actually waiting for this sentence, whether Zhen Miao accompanied him or let the assassin come here, he would feel much more at ease.

Soon, the soldiers brought the man.

Jia Wu was surprised to see Su Yuan.

"You really dare to see me."

"I dare to see you, of course I have my support." Su Yuandao, "You entered the city yesterday, you could have directly come to the palace to assassinate, but you stayed in the inn for a day, why?"

Jia Wu was silent.

There was some kind of struggle in his eyes, and it seemed like he was having a hard time getting the words out.

"I want to see why the people here seem to be peaceful. Why is your city different from the cities I've seen before."

Su Yuan looked at the young man and guessed something in his heart.

"So you're still a man of conscience."

"what?"

"I mean, you haven't completely lost your humanity. The reason why you hesitate is because you find that I am a prince who is beneficial to the people, and you don't want to kill me."

"Yes." Jiawu admitted.

He would not lie, what Su Yuan said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

He's been to a lot of places, he's killed a lot of people, and in his opinion, those people are no different.Even his adoptive father, Fu Chengyang, was no different from those who were killed.

He obeyed Fu Chengyang's order to kill, just because he would be killed if he didn't.

He originally thought that this assassination would be the same as usual, only when he stepped into Beifeng City, no, before stepping in, he found that this place was different from other places.

In such a small frontier city, the people living in it are actually happier than some big cities in the Central Plains.And all this is because of the little prince Su Yuan they called.

Jiawu didn't sleep last night, he lay on the bed and kept thinking, if Su Yuan became emperor, how many cities in the world would become like Beifeng City.

Maybe there will be no more nightmare experiences like the one their family encountered back then.

He can also grow up normally, instead of becoming like a monster, and finally taken away by Fu Chengyang and trained to be an assassin.

Su Yuan said: "You can stay."

Jia Wu's heart moved slightly, he said: "I am an assassin."

"From today onwards, you are no longer, if you want to stay." Su Yuanyi pointed out. "Actually, I don't need to say, you have already made a decision in your heart, from the time you handed over the money to Geshana."
