Oh? When they heard that Shao Yu was going to invite them to dinner at the General's Mansion, both Han Zhong and Yuan Tian were shocked. The two of them were just discussing how to set up a banquet to invite Shao Yu over, but now, he had actually taken the initiative to come over.
Han Zhong waved his hand expressionlessly, and said: "I understand, you can go now!"
When the messenger finally left, Han Zhong immediately said to Yuan Tian excitedly, "Master Yuan, looks like we don't need to find a way to invite Shao Yu. Tonight is the best opportunity."
Yuan Tian thoughtfully nodded his head, and then said without a trace of worry: "But the two of us going to the General's Mansion to attend the banquet, making a move might not be so easy."
Han Zhong laughed and said confidently: "Maybe the effect will be better when we attack from the General's Mansion, at least Shao Yu's vigilance will be reduced to the lowest. You and I have been caught off guard and taken unawares. We will definitely be able to deal with the enemy in one strike! "
"Yes!" Yuan Tian also thought that Han Zhong's words were not unreasonable, but he felt that it was too much of a coincidence, and it was as if he had planned this beforehand. It was not possible for Shao Yu to detect that he and Han Zhong were going to harm, since the King had sent a secret order and no one had seen it before, so Shao Yu couldn't possibly know what was going on.
Just as Han Zhong and Yuan Tian was discussing how to capture Shao Yu, coincidentally, at this time, Shao Yu sent an invitation, inviting the two of them to the General's Mansion for a feast. The two of them decided to take it as it was, and capture Shao Yu inside the General's Mansion.
Han and Yuan were not just commanders, within the Fengyang City, the two of them had 150 thousand subordinates, because Yuan Tian was afraid of making a big fuss out of it, he had secretly sent out 5 thousand of his trusted aides to ambush them. Furthermore, he had gathered all of the more outstanding Spirit Cultivator under his command together, pretending to be normal soldiers.
Yuan Tian's plans were already very thorough, if Shao Yu was not prepared, he might really succeed in his sneak attack, but Shao Yu had already received Cai Gui's reminder, and had already arranged for the secret agents to closely monitor both Han Zhong and Yuan Tian's movements, so the arrangement of Han and Yuan were basically under Shao Yu's control.
After knowing that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had gathered the Spirit Cultivator while secretly ambushing a large number of his subordinates near the General's Mansion, Shao Yu understood that Cai Gui's warning was definitely not groundless, and that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had already started to make their moves. He urgently called for his trusted aide, Liu Ting, to discuss with him how to deal with the situation.
After Liu Ting heard this, he pondered for a moment, then said: "Master, first we attack, then we attack. Since Shao Fang wants to eradicate Master, Master might as well turn around and surrender to Feng Army."
It was not that Shao Yu had never thought about it, but he was still worried about it. He let out a light sigh, and said: "Not long ago, Feng Army attacked the Fengyang, causing over ten thousand people to be defeated. If I were to surrender to the Feng Army, how could Feng Ren spare my life?"
Liu Ting shook her head and said, "Sir, you are overthinking it. I believe that this is exactly what Sir is going to offer to Feng Army."
"Oh?"
"Feng King personally leading an army to attack Fengyang yet being unable to cross even half a step into the lightning pool, it can be seen that my Xishan County is extremely firm. Although my Feng Army is unstoppable right now, my strength is lacking, especially my Xishan County, which is like a knife buried behind the Feng Army, which can strike a fatal blow at any time. Therefore, as long as Great King is willing to give up, Feng King will definitely be extremely happy, not to mention losing tens of thousands of people, even if we were to lose 100,000 or 200,000, Feng King will still not make things difficult for the Lord." Liu Ting said: "Of course, this is just my guess. Whether or not Feng King can accept Master, I still have to find out from Cai Gui."
"Yes!" Shao Yu nodded his head and said thoughtfully: "Looks like I still have to make another trip to the Tavern."
Fengyang.
Shao Yu left in the morning, and came again in the evening. Cai Gui guessed that Shao Yu would come find him again, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly.
When they met again, Shao Yu did not bother about Shao Jun, and directly walked to Cai Gui's side, cupped his hands, and bowed to him, saying: "I had some urgent matters to attend to this morning, I hope that Young Master Cai will not take offense!"
"What are you talking about, I will kill you!" Cai Gui cupped his hands in return. He could clearly feel the change in attitude Shao Yu had towards him. It was likely that Han Zhong and Yuan Tian had received Shao Fang's secret order and had made some unusual movements.
After the two sat down, Shao Yu first greeted Cai Gui with a few words before getting down to business. He pretended to be casual and asked, "Young Master Cai, you reminded me earlier that the King wants to harm me, is this really true?"
As Cai Gui thought about it, he faintly smiled and said: "Of course! If my guess is not wrong, Shao Fang will soon make his move against Master Shao. "
"Ai!" Shao Yu let out a heavy sigh, and said helplessly: "Even though I, Shao Yu, live at a distance from the Xishan County, I am not blind, nor am I deaf. How can I not know that members of the same clan have been frequently killed? But if the Lord wants this subject to die, this subject does not dare to die, even if the King wants my, Shao Yu's, head, I will not dare to disobey! "
This cunning Shao Yu, was actually spouting nonsense! Cai Gui did not believe Shao Yu's nonsense. If he was that loyal to Shao Fang, he would not entertain him and Shao Jun so warmly.
He shook his head and said: "Master Shao is right to say, 'Sovereign allows this subject to die, but this subject does not dare to die', but it depends on who the Sovereign is. Shao Fang has long been deposed by the Son of Heaven, and he is no longer King Mo, but a thief who has defied the orders of the heavens and harmed his own people. If he continued to be loyal to Shao Fang, wouldn't he become a traitor that was working with Shao Fang? That's also folly! "
Shao Yu seemed to be enlightened, as he nodded his head, and helplessly said: "What else can I do? "Where can I go?"
Hm! He got to the point. Cai Gui laughed secretly in his heart, and said: "How about I point out a path for Master Shao?"
Shao Yu's spirit was lifted, and immediately bowed and cupped his hands: "I have long heard of Young Master Cai's wisdom, he is a talent rarely seen in a hundred years, I hope Young Master Cai can enlighten me!"
"Abandon deceitful officials, respect the orthodox; Far from being vile, serve the virtuous!" Cai Gui pointed to Shao Jun, who was gulping down a mouthful of wine, as if nothing had anything to do with him. After he finished speaking, even Cai Gui himself felt embarrassed, the mud on the wall couldn't support him. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any trace of a virtuous lord on Shao Jun's body.
Shao Yu did not care whether Shao Jun was clever or not, after hearing Cai Gui's words, he revealed a look of realization, but very quickly, his face tightened up and became bitter: "One step wrong, one step wrong! I also want to distance myself from the traitors and chase after Master Fengxian, but previously, I was deceived by Shao Fang, so I fought with Uncle together. Both sides were severely injured, so how can Uncle not blame me, how can he not hate me? "
Shao Jun did not hear any of the hidden meaning in Shao Yu's words, he really thought that Shao Yu was afraid that he would hate him, so he immediately stood up and walked over to Shao Yu's side and patted his shoulder, and said: "Those who don't know are not to be blamed! As long as you truly wish to become Uncle's subordinate, Uncle will definitely not blame you. "1
Shao Yu did not even bother to look at him, as his eyes were staring straight at Cai Gui.
Cai Gui laughed, patted his chest and guaranteed: "Master Shao, I can vouch for you, if you submit, not only will you not be harmed, you will even become an official in the future!"
Shao Yu's face lit up, his eyes lit up as he asked anxiously: "Is Young Master Cai serious?"
Cai Gui nodded his head heavily, and said: "I guarantee it with my Cai Family!"
Pow! Shao Yu clapped heavily, and said: "With Young Noble Cai's words, I am relieved." Saying that, he turned to look at Liu Ting, only to see the latter nodding his head slightly. He immediately stood up and said seriously: "To show his sincerity, I am willing to offer Han Zhong and Yuan Tian my head!"
Cai Gui also stood up, looking straight into Shao Yu's eyes, he said indifferently: "With these two heads, I, Wang Lin, will definitely be very happy, Master Shao, can also sleep peacefully!"
"Ha ha ? ?" Shao Yu and Cai Gui laughed out at the same time. Shao Jun, who was listening to the conversation by the side, followed the two of them and laughed dryly.
After he had finished spying on Cai Gui, Shao Yu was finally relieved. He also made up his mind to go against Shao Fang and vote for him.
That night, Han Zhong and Yuan Tian did as they were told. The scene when the two of them arrived wasn't small at all. Adding the personal guards together, there were nearly two hundred of them, and they were all crowded into the General's Mansion like stars surrounding the moon.
In the main hall of General's Mansion, after arranging the banquet, everyone sat down. At the same time that Han Qi was conversing with Shao Yu, he was secretly looking around him. His General's Mansion was no different than usual, and there were not many guards in the hall, with a lot of servants and maids entering and exiting the hall.
Han Zhong and Yuan Tian looked at each other and secretly nodded. Tonight was a great opportunity to capture Shao Yu.
Very quickly, servants and maids were shuttling back and forth, the tables in front of everyone were already filled with dishes and wine. Shao Yu raised his cup, and laughed: "Master Han, Master Yuan, we have joined hands to resist the enemy, and have finally succeeded in repelling the Feng Army, not humiliating the King's trust. Here, let me first toast to the two of you!"
"Haha, Lord Shao is too courteous." Han Zhong and Yuan Tian responded to each other as they raised their cups and drank together.
As the two of them ate, they drank and laughed. The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious. However, behind the blissful atmosphere was a hidden murderous intent.
The guards Han Zhong and Yuan Tian brought with them were right outside the main hall. One of the Spirit Cultivator s had already secretly consumed a Spirit-gathering Pill and recovered their spirit energy. As long as Han and Yuan Yuan gave the signal, they could rush out and capture Shao Yu on the spot.
But on the other side, behind the screen in the Main Hall, it was also filled with Shao Yu's trusted aides, as well as people who wielded blades and axes.
This was truly a feast for all who had ulterior motives.
Both sides had had three rounds of drinks and five meals. Seeing that the time was right, Han Zhong was the first to make a move and asked: "Master Shao, this one has a question, would you like to speak?"
Shao Yu laughed: "Master Han, please speak."
Han Zhong retracted his smile, and said seriously: "Shao Jun is a criminal wanted by the King, and Cai Gui is an important subject to the enemy, but Master Shao has treated the two of them as distinguished guests, and left them inside the Fengyang City. I can't help but doubt Master Shao's loyalty to the King!" As he said that, he raised his wine cup without leaving a trace and glanced at Shao Yu from the corner of his eyes.
