Fengyang.
On this day, Shao Yu also came to find Shao Jun and for drinks and fun, as usual. After three rounds of drinking and five courses, Shao Yu was still in high spirits, so he got someone to bring over singers and dancers to cheer the crowd on.
However, Shao Yu quickly discovered that he and Shao Jun were the only two who were completely engrossed in the competition, while Cai Gui was standing at the side sighing and shaking his head. Shao Yu did not understand, put down the cup, and asked Cai Gui: "Is there anything that Young Master Cai is worried about?"
Cai Gui raised his head and looked at Shao Yu as the corner of his mouth twitched. In the end, he still didn't speak, and only picked up the wine cup. Seeing his hesitant expression, Shao Yu became even more suspicious. He leaned towards Cai Gui and asked: "May I ask what hidden troubles Young Master Cai has?"
Cai Gui lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I am sighing for Master Shao."
Shao Yu was stunned, and asked blankly: "What do you mean?"
Cai Gui said: "Master Shao, a great calamity has arrived, and you still do not know about it?"
When he said those words, Shao Jun, who was engrossed with singing and dancing, was greatly shocked. He put down his wine cup and wiped the wine stains on his mouth as he stared at Cai Gui without blinking. Shao Yu frowned, he suppressed the displeasure in his heart and asked: "I'm fine now, why did Young Master Cai say that I'm in danger?"
Cai Gui blinked, and swept his gaze left and right. Shao Yu understood and clapped his hands, telling them to stop singing and dancing. Then he waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "All of you can leave!"
The dancing ladies in the hall, their servants and Maidservant all left, leaving only Shao Yu's personal guards behind. At this time, Cai Gui slowly opened his mouth and said: "This morning, the King sent someone to bring a letter to me through Fengyang. Master Shao should know about this, right?"
In the morning, Wind Man Fengyang had brought a letter for Cai Gui, but Shao Yu did not know that it was sent by Tang Yin, and he did not think that Shao Jun and Cai Gui, the two alcayde commanders, could do anything to his land, so he did not let anyone see the contents of the letter.
He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know about this."
"Master Shao, please take a look!" Cai Gui took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over to Shao Yu. The latter hurriedly took it and lowered her head to take a look, and her face immediately changed. The contents of the letter was not much, but it was simply too shocking to him. It contained the information obtained from Feng Country, which clearly stated that Shao Fang had given the secret order to remove all of Shao Yu's official titles and titles, and also allowed Han Zhong and Yuan Tian to find a chance to capture Shao Yu, and not care about death.
As Shao Yu held the letter, he did not speak for an entire incense's time. Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Shao Jun could not help but ask Cai Gui: "Master Cai, what is written in the King's letter?"
Cai Gui said indifferently: "Your Highness, please do not worry and just enjoy yourself. I will handle the rest of the matters."
Shao Jun touched a soft nail and felt that it was unpleasant, but he did not dare say anything more. He smacked his lips, picked up his wine pot and started drinking by himself.
After a long while, Shao Yu laughed out loud, handed the letter back to Cai Gui and said: "This is either a rumor, or the Your Country's plan to distance himself, right?"
Cai Gui accepted the letter, carefully folded it back, and put it away in his chest as he said faintly, "Master Shao can disbelieve our words, but when it comes to matters of life and death, Master Shao cannot not be wary. This lowly one has said everything, Master Shao, take care of yourself! "
His words were neither painful nor itchy, but it also caused Shao Yu's heart to be unable to calm down for a long time. This might be the Feng Country's plan to distance themselves from each other, but what if it was real? Right now, Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were in command of a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers in the Fengyang.
At this time, Shao Yu no longer had the mood to continue having fun with others, he stood up and cupped his hands to Shao Jun and: "Uncle, Young Master Cai, I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to attend to, so I will be leaving you alone."
Shao Jun had not finished his meal, but seeing that Shao Yu was about to leave, he reluctantly said: "If there's anything, this nephew can let Subordinate handle it!"
Shao Yu said absentmindedly: "This is a serious matter, I have to take care of it myself. Uncle, I will come again tomorrow to pay my respects."
"Then... "Fine!"
Bidding farewell to Shao Jun and Cai Gui, Shao Yu quickly walked out. Once he was outside, he waved for a guard to come over and hurriedly said: "Quickly bring Mister Liu Ting over to see me!"
After leaving the Tavern and returning to the General's Mansion, the moment Shao Yu sat down, Liu Ting hurriedly walked in from outside. He arrived in front of Shao Yu, bowed and greeted him, and asked: "Master, what has happened? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Shao Yu waved his hand and sent all the guards in the room away, then asked: "Recently, have Han Zhong and Yuan Tian been in contact with the imperial government?"
"Oh ?" Liu Ting thought for a while and said, "A few days ago, the imperial government sent a message to Master Han."
"What is written in the book?" Shao Yu asked nervously.
Liu Ting's face revealed an expression of difficulty as he said, "That was a letter stamped with the wax seal of the King. How could we dare to open it and check?!"
Shao Yu stomped his feet and asked: "Are you going to give it to Han Zhong directly?"
"Yes!" Liu Ting nodded blankly and asked in confusion, "Sir, is there a problem?"2
Shao Yu stood up abruptly, held his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in his room, and said: "This morning, Cai Gui had just received the letter from the Feng Country scout, saying that Shao Fang had secretly ordered me to remove my official title and title, and had Han Zhong and Yuan Tian take me to the Zhenjiang to find fault."
"Huh?" Liu Ting's expression changed greatly, and his first reaction was: "Sir, this can't be the tactic of Feng Country, right?"
"I also think so. No matter how stupid Shao Fang is, if he wants me to die, he shouldn't have touched me at this time." Shao Yu frowned: "But what if it's true? Don't forget, along with Han Zhong and Yuan Tian, there's also their huge army of one hundred and fifty thousand that is currently in Fengyang.
That's true! Liu Ting slowly nodded and muttered, "Your excellency's considerations are correct. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, only afraid of a chance. "We have the risk of Fengyang, so no matter how many enemies we have, we can always keep them out of our homes. However, the moment chaos breaks out inside, our situation will become precarious."
Shao Yu asked: "Then Mister's meaning is ?"
"Master, why don't you find an opportunity to probe Han Zhong and Yuan Tian? "If you have something on your mind, you will definitely show it." Liu Ting offered.
"Hm!" Tomorrow night, I will set up a feast at the Palace, and I invite Han Zhong and Yuan Tian to come. " Shao Yu's eyes turned as he whispered.
On the morning of the next day, there was once again a letter sent from the Zhenjiang side to the Fengyang. The letter still had Shao Fang's wax seal on it and had the words "Han Zhong had opened it himself" written on it.
A pigeon's messenger between Zhenjiang could not be directly delivered to Han Zhong's hands. It had to have the Fengyang aspect of it being transferred to Han Zhong, but with Shao Fang's seal on the letter, even he did not dare to open it for himself, unless he publicly rebelled and completely broke with the Mo Country.
Shao Fang's letter was sent to Han Zhong's hands untouched. The latter opened it and read, overjoyed, this was a secret letter personally written by Shao Fang, he wanted him and Yuan Tian to work together to capture Shao Yu, if they encountered any resistance, they could directly kill him.
Han Zhong had long suspected Shao Yu's loyalty, and had disliked him since long ago. Now that the King had personally ordered him to get rid of this man, how could he not be happy? Furthermore, with the King's secret order, Yuan Tian was no longer afraid of wolves and tigers.
He immediately had his men find Yuan Tian and show him his secret order. When the latter saw this secret order, his heart sank. His face alternated between white and green, changing constantly in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that, Han Zhong secretly sneered, and asked: "Does Master Yuan think that King's secret order is inappropriate?"
Not right! It was extremely inappropriate! If they succeeded, the headless Xishan County would fall into chaos, and if they failed, Shao Yu would lead his subordinates to turn the tables on the Feng Country. If they followed the secret order, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, it would be extremely disadvantageous for their own side.
However, the King's orders had already been passed down and could no longer be changed. Even if it was inappropriate, what could she do? Yuan Tian laughed bitterly and shook his head: "The King is wise, I do not think there is anything amiss."
"That's good!" Han Zhong said: "We will follow the King's orders! "There is an army of one hundred and fifty thousand in Fengyang City. In the dead of night, we can launch a sneak attack on General's Mansion and exterminate Shao Yu's bandits in one fell swoop."
"No way!" Yuan Tian shook his head like a rattle drum, and said: "If we do that, it will bring about a civil war between our army and the Western Mountain Army, if we were to win one battle, who knows how many soldiers would die, it would be disadvantageous for our country."
Han Zhong sometimes really suspected that Yuan Tian was actually going against him. If he said the wrong, he would definitely say the right. He asked in a bad tone, "What about Lord Yuan?"
Now that the situation could no longer be changed, Yuan Tian could only minimize his losses. He muttered to himself for a while, then said: "Since we have arrived at the Xishan County, we have never taken the initiative to invite Shao Yu. How about we hold a feast tomorrow night to entertain Shao Yu ?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Han Zhong immediately responded: "We can set up an ambush between us. When Shao Yu and his henchmen were careless, we can suddenly attack and capture him!"
At this time, he had become quite smart. Yuan Tian smiled bitterly and nodded his head, then said: "By doing this, we can reduce the fighting between the two sides to a minimum. After all, Shao Yu is the leader of the Xishan County, as long as we capture him, the others won't be too worried.
"Pah!" Han Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, praising: "Good idea! Master Yuan is truly astute. We'll do it just like that! "
Sigh! Looking at the smiling and complacent Han Zhong, Yuan Tian bitterly sighed in his heart. He really couldn't think of anything that could make Han Zhong happy.
While the two of them were conversing, a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside and interposed and saluted, saying, "Lord Han, Lord Yuan, Lord Shao has just sent people over to invite the two of you to General's Mansion for dinner."
